Li Wei sighed helplessly.
A person walked over and also began to groan.
"So you also received that mission?"
Li Wei glanced at him and asked, "Brother, who are you?"
The man smiled slightly. "I am also a reincarnator from the academy. We should be companions on this mission."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Guangtong. I am a student in Class B of the first year and a member of the Science Club."
Which class are you in?
"Class F, I guess."
Hearing Li Wei's answer
A hint of contempt flashed in Luo Guangtong's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, so that most people wouldn't notice it.
As a student in Class B, Luo Guangtong was also quite good, and his smile remained unchanged.
Unless someone is mentally challenged, they wouldn't bring this up openly or make it too obvious, as that would only create an awkward atmosphere and offend people.
"Welcome, brothers from Class F."
Luo Guangtong extended his right hand and said.
Li Wei waved his hand dismissively and said, "I don't want to shake your hand."
Luo Guangtong was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"A disgusting otaku like you must frequently use your right hand for up-and-down movements and secretly buy used panties on Taobao to smell."
"..."
"Shut-ups are disgusting, and so are hardcore gamers," Li Wei said with a look of disdain. "They must collect a lot of code regularly."
“Code?” Luo Guangtong paused for a moment, then said, “If it’s programming code, I know quite a bit. My computer science tutor at the academy even praised me for being quite talented.”
Being praised by such a distinguished professor as his mentor at the academy is one of the things Luo Guangtong can be proud of.
"..."
Luo Guangtong nodded: "It seems you have a cleanliness obsession. That's alright, no need to shake hands then."
"Besides, this is just a symbolic ritual." Luo Guangtong lit a cigarette and said, "In the world of reincarnation, these things aren't so particular."
“Let’s go. We’ve already found quite a few allies in this faction before we met you. I’ll take you to meet our leader.”
Luo Guangtong exhaled a puff of white smoke, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes, and said, "That's quite an impressive person, the third-ranked freshman!"
"It's a rare opportunity to meet such important figures from the future Reincarnation Academy, so I suggest you make the most of it."
Seeing that Li Wei agreed, Luo Guangtong turned around and began to lead the way.
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
He's just trash from Class F. If it weren't for the big brother's plan...
Such powerless and uncultured things should become guinea pigs on the experimental table!
Yes, Luo Guangtong has always been a very proud person. This pride comes from the confidence of a high-level intellectual, especially after he was recognized by the Science Society and became a member.
He looked down on those who were ignorant and incompetent. In his eyes, Li Wei was no different from those street thugs.
Along the way led by Luo Guangtong, the two encountered some researchers who came and went in a hurry, but they were not strangers to the two of them.
This must be the role played by the identity assigned by the system.
During this time, some other people also walked in the same direction, and Li Wei pondered for a moment.
He then drew the following conclusion.
First, Luo Guangtong and his group must have arrived earlier than me; otherwise, even if they were organized, they wouldn't have moved so orderly toward the same destination.
two……
"I feel like... I'm being treated differently."
Li Wei felt completely baffled. He couldn't understand how he was different from others.
So what if he's a bit more handsome than others and has a few more girls around him?
"Being single is like being a dog, but I'm a human being!"
Li Wei was heartbroken and almost wanted to hold up a sign that read: "All beings are equal. I want to speak out for my fellow 'normies' who are also subjected to unfair scrutiny and uphold justice. So what if you're a 'normie'? Does that mean you can pick up girls better than me?"
"Brother Batian, I've brought another person with me."
In a room resembling a conference hall, dozens of people were gathered, with a rough-looking man in the center dressed as a commander, whose face had no scars.
"Oh, you're back."
After some time, when the crowd is almost full—
Luo Batian coughed twice to clear his throat.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Luo Batian from Class A of the first year. I ranked third in this year's freshman entrance exam!"
“I believe you are familiar with my name.”
A cacophony of noise erupted below.
The top ten freshmen of this year are all the rage. As one of the top three freshmen, Luo Batian is known to almost everyone in the academy.
Luo Guangtong added from the side: "In this mission, the higher your strength, the higher the position the system will assign you. This is based on your own strength, assuming you are an indigenous person, and is calculated based on the level you are likely to reach at this age."
"And Ba Tian's position in this mission world is sergeant. That is to say, if Ba Tian really joins the army here, he can become a sergeant at the age of less than twenty."
The people below all changed color. When they entered, they also received a system notification that most of them were only at the level of privates or corporals!
And the higher the rank, the harder it is to advance: private, private first class, private senior class, and then sergeant after corporal...
As expected of the third-ranked newcomer, someone like him would have achieved great things in reality even without coming to the Samsara Academy.
Everyone sighed in amazement.
Just how big is the gap in strength between them?
Seeing that the situation was about right, Luo Guangtong said, "If I'm not mistaken, the mission we received was to intercept Yuzuriha Inori's Void Genome. Moreover, the rewards for this mission are very generous, but the punishments are also very severe."
As he spoke, Luo Guangtong said seriously, "More than a thousand points... I believe that none of you here, including myself, will have many points left. Most of them have been used to strengthen your own abilities."
"This also means that if the mission fails, we will lose ten years of our lifespan!"
"It may not seem like much, after all, our average life expectancy is now over seventy years old, and ten years is only one-fifth or one-sixth of that, but I don't know if you've noticed, this is a phased task, which means—"
"This is just one link in a chain of missions. There will probably be many more similar missions to come. Once or twice might be fine, but what about three, four, five, or six times?!"
Luo Guangtong suddenly raised his voice, "How many times can we fail!?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Indeed, according to Luo Guangtong, this was quite possible.
"This time, we are officially entering the instance. I want to emphasize again that this is not a beginner's world. The system will assign tasks based on your abilities."
After a pause, Luo Guangtong said, "In order to successfully complete the mission, I propose that Brother Tianba temporarily serve as our leader."
Luo Batian then spoke up:
“If someone holds a higher position than me, meaning they are more capable than me, it doesn’t matter whether I become a leader or not. My goal is simply to ensure that everyone can successfully navigate this world.”
Luo Guangtong secretly gave a signal, and some of the people below exchanged furtive glances before starting to shout:
"Support Brother Batian!"
"We're leaving our mission to Brother Batian!"
"Brother Batian, you should be the leader!"
"That's right, that's right, we need an outstanding leader!"
……
The others, who were still hesitant, were immediately infected and started to cheer.
Luo Guangtong secretly chuckled.
This is the herd mentality; trash is so easy to fool...
Luo Batian's position as leader is about to be established.
"Since there is no one more suitable than me, then I, in my humble opinion, will..."
Just as Luo Batian was about to suggest that he lead everyone forward for the time being,
The conference room door opened, and a soldier rushed in, anxiously saying to Li Wei:
"Captain Li, Commander Yang has something urgent to discuss with you!"
Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Warrant Officer, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, and then the Captain!?
A captain who's not even twenty?!
You're imagining yourself as Commander Yang's illegitimate son, but he's actually surnamed Yang, isn't he?
PS: Damn, I finally finished it! I didn't even finish the daily blue ticket and jade quests. I'm so curious... I feel like I missed out on one or two SSRs.
PS2: The previous chapter clearly foreshadowed that Li Wei wouldn't die even in a cosmic explosion, so why do you bunch of adorable little girls think he'll die?! (。﹏。*)
Damn it, seeing some readers actually believe it and specifically check the book reviews to ask if it's really finished makes me feel really sad too...orz
Honestly, if you have the ability and don't leave me feeling too lonely on my own, I'll definitely keep writing this book, even if it doesn't do well.
"The ending" is a common trope on Shuke (a Chinese online literature platform), isn't it?! You bunch of idiots! You should be celebrating with cheers and applause right now!
PS3: Have you guys noticed that the author keeps saying the recommendation votes have increased one minute, and then saying they've decreased the next...?
Yes... Every time I say I'll get lots and lots of recommendation votes, the next day there are so few, and then the next day they come back up again. It's so tiring...
PS4: To be honest, this book is starting to pick up, and the pressure is increasing too. Before, it was just a hobby, but seeing all your expectations, I unconsciously... wanted to write better... These past few days have been so frustrating... writer's block is terrible. Even though I haven't fully conceived the idea, I was afraid of stopping updates, so I had to write it first. This chapter, I rushed back from outside and started writing around 9 PM, and I'm still writing now... damn it... I finally finished it, but it's still late. Orz
PS5: I asked a senior friend on Bookke how my book performed on the recommendation slot this week, and how it did last week. He said, "If your book doesn't get a thousand or two thousand first-day subscriptions, you should jump into the river!"
I just want to laugh!
The author must have jumped out of a river, okay?!
Also, don't use your big shot standards to judge us losers, you bastard! (#`O′)
When will it be available? Whether it will be available at all is a question, and even whether it will be possible to get it at all is another question.
Chapter Sixty-One: Killing His Sister to Prove His Dao!?
The scene instantly became awkward.
Li Wei exclaimed, "So I'm the one with the highest military rank!"
This is even more awkward...
Luo Guangtong reacted quickly, glanced at Luo Batian, and asked the soldier, "What happened?"
The soldier quickly replied, "Yes, this is an urgent order from Commander Yang."
Luo Batian said, "Since this matter is so important, I'll go along too."
The soldier glanced at his sergeant superior and hesitated.
Luo Batian pressed, "The commander didn't say anyone else wasn't allowed to go, did he?"
"That's not true..."
"In that case, soldier, lead the way quickly. If the commander's affairs are delayed, it's not something you or I can take responsibility for. If anything goes wrong, I will explain to the commander."
The soldier nodded, then led Li Wei and Luo Batian away.
Before leaving, Luo Batian gave Luo Guangtong a wink.
Luo Guangtong understood immediately, and after they left, he waved his hand dismissively.
"If I'm not mistaken, the incident has begun, which means that Yuzuriha Inori has already taken the Void Genome and is on her way to escape."
"There's no time. Everyone get ready for the first mission."
Without giving anyone a chance to react, Luo Guangtong quickly said, "In order to complete the mission, we should all unite and work together to get through this world!"
"In the upcoming battle, I expect everyone to follow orders and refrain from acting on their own—"
