Disaster Strikes

"Wait a minute."

That morning, Mutan suddenly spoke and called Chen Mo, who was about to go out for morning exercise.

After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Mo noticed that Hanxue, who always went out for morning exercise earlier than him, had not gone out yet. Then, at Mutan's mysterious gesture, Du Fangyan also got up early and dressed, and the four of them left the room together.

"Is Qingqing not coming?"

Hanxue asked.

"Even if the instructor gave up on her, she shouldn't give up on herself."

Du Fangyan's face was a little ugly, but he just shook his head and said nothing.

"What's so mysterious?"

Du Fangyan was not in a good mood. He liked to sleep until he woke up naturally. At this time, the weather outside was too cold, which made him tremble.

Mutan looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention. After whispering: "Last night, I heard the conversation between the five of them. From today, Instructor Qinghong will teach basic skills."

Mutan's words made everyone's eyes light up, and they looked eager to try.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why did you call us out?"

Han Xue was a little puzzled, and her tone was also very cold.

It was obviously because of the conflict with Lu Yi on the first day of school, and the other few people did not stand up.

Tan looked sneaky and sighed: "They have already discussed and will bribe Teacher Qinghong before today's class. This is the rule that their family explained before they came to the academy. You must know that the training equipment in the school is props that have been specially processed by the Calamity Lord. If you use these equipment to practice basic skills, it can be said that you can get twice the result with half the effort. If the teacher opens a back door for them, won't our gap be even greater?"

Everyone looked ugly when they heard this.

Unlike those adult starving ghosts, as abandoned people or orphans, they simply do not have enough Calamity contribution points or resources to bribe the teacher.

Mu Tan continued, "And I heard that because of the long-term teaching of us enlightenment hungry ghosts, the mentors in the academy have mastered some special skills, which are especially suitable for improving basic skills below level 10. So if we can get the favor of the mentors during the academy, we will have a great improvement!"

"Unorthodox!"

Han Xue said with a cold face: "My mother told me that persistence is far more important than any talent and cleverness."

The others were silent. This was really bad news.

Chen Mo was also thinking about his situation.

But he only had 1 contribution point. If he used it to bribe, he might be self-defeating and be misunderstood by the Qinghong mentor as humiliation or ridicule.

"Actually, I do have an idea."

Mu Tan took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "I know everyone has difficulties, but we can concentrate resources on one person as much as possible. As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. Let one person in our small group grow up first, and then help others. What do you think?"

"Humph."

Han Xue sneered, "Needless to say, that person must be you, right?"

Mu Tan said as a matter of course, "Yes, but this is not for me alone, but for everyone's sake. This is the most reasonable way to arrange resources for our small group."

"Sorry, I have something else to do, sorry I can't keep you company."

Han Xue bypassed Mu Tan and ran towards the group of people doing morning exercises.

Chen Mo also said politely, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I really don't have anything to show here, but thank you for your reminder."

After that, Chen Mo also started today's morning exercises.

Du Fangyan didn't know what he said to Mu Tan. Mu Tan looked furious and then returned to the dormitory alone. Du Fangyan stood there for a while before walking back slowly.

After morning exercise, Chen Mo came to the cafeteria.

He noticed that four instructors were on guard in front of the cafeteria gate, with very serious faces, as if something had happened.

Mu Tan, Du Fangyan, Du Qingqing, and Han Xue were standing at the gate in front of the cafeteria. After seeing Chen Mo, they greeted him and motioned him to come over.

There were many people in the cafeteria, most of them were in small groups, discussing their basic attributes and basic skill strengths, and some were discussing interesting things in the academy.

Several people came to an empty table with plates full of paste and sat down.

"Last night, a starving ghost died in the training area. It is said that he was one of the strongest in their class. He will participate in the starving ghost trial in less than ten days. As a result, his body was found in the corner of the training area this morning."

Mu Tan spoke solemnly.

It is his favorite thing to find out such news and intelligence.

Han Xue heard this and said, "I just heard about it. It is said that the basic boxing level of this starving ghost has reached at least Lv8, and the strength and speed are both more than 15 points, but he died just like that."

This attribute value is definitely the strongest person in Chen Mo's class except Lei Wu. The basic attributes and basic skills alone are enough to suppress the adult starving ghosts in the class.

"Hiss, how does the school plan to deal with this matter?"

Du Fangyan was a little terrified and kept looking around. It seemed that this place was not safe either.

"I just overheard the conversation between those instructors. They said that according to the convention, because there was no movement at the crime scene last night and no one noticed anything unusual, they would use suicide as the investigation result."

Everyone sighed when they heard this.

In a disaster world, the weak will never be sympathized.

Even in the academy, although there are strict rules against harming others at will, if the victim does not even have a chance to call for help and just dies silently, the academy thinks that he is innocent and does not bother to investigate.

Nowadays, even such a strong person can die without any explanation in the academy, not to mention the people on Chen Mo's table.

"Hey, traveler, weren't you the last to come back yesterday? Did you hear anything?"

When Chen Mo heard this, his expression became quite ugly.

Last night, in order to practice basic telekinesis, he returned to the dormitory very late. During this period, he ran many times, feeling proud of himself for mastering basic telekinesis level 1. He never thought that danger was so close, and he was completely unaware of it.

It seems that I need to be more careful in the future.

After seeing Chen Mo shaking his head with an ugly expression, no one asked any more questions.

"You, what are you going to do!"

Du Qingqing's frightened voice made Chen Mo and others look at him, and their expressions changed.

Unexpectedly, it was Lu Yi who was determined to find Du Qingqing again and sat down next to her.

Du Qingqing looked frightened and moved towards Du Fangyan. Du Fangyan looked at Han Xue, but with his previous experience, Han Xue was too lazy to meddle in these nosy matters.

Not to mention Charcoal, he looked like he didn't see anything.

Chen Mo was speechless when he saw this. This is your sister.

However, this time, Luyi did not make any move.

He chuckled and actually placed the dinner plate in front of Du Qingqing.

There was a hot aroma coming from the dinner plate, which contained a few fish fillets, a small plate of curry, a few slices of bread, and some mashed potatoes.

Compared to the paste on everyone's plates, it's really a world of difference.

Gudu.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, even Han Xue was no exception.

Lu Yi said proudly: "It's for you."

"For me?"

Du Qingqing couldn't believe it.

Looking at the delicious food on the plate, she swallowed her saliva again.

After a moment's hesitation, she was overcome by desire and couldn't help but look at the wonderful food on the plate, lowered her head and started eating.

"How about it? If you follow my advice, you can eat these delicacies every day from now on."

Lu Yi stretched out his right hand and stroked Du Qingqing's hair.

This time, Du Qingqing stopped dodging and just devoured the food on the plate.

Han Xue, who saw this scene, really sneered angrily. He really didn't understand what he was doing in the first place. Now he didn't even want to look at it again. He lowered his head and continued to eat the paste on his plate. Du Fangyan looked ashamed, but He couldn't help but look at his sister's dinner plate and swallowed.

After a while.

Du Qingqing, who had finished eating the food on Luyi's plate, half pushed and half followed him away under Luyi's tug.

It wasn't until the two of them were far away that Du Fangyan looked at Han Xue and asked, "Why don't you speak for her? She's still so young!"

"nausea."

Han Xue seemed to feel that any more words to him would be a waste of time, so she stood up and left.

"Wait a minute, little sister."

A person at the table next to him suddenly stopped Han Xue and seemed to be quite interested in Han Xue.

It has to be said that compared to Du Qingqing's youthfulness and immaturity, Han Xue's aloofness and arrogance have a different charm. Needless to say, everyone knows what this guy wants to do.

But it's different from Du Qingqing.

Hanxue's attitude was obviously tougher and more intimidating.

Even though her strength is not strong, no one will doubt her determination to resist, and this is the necessary condition for the survival of the natural disaster victims. Even if they die, they will bite off a layer of your skin with ferocity.

"Do I know you?"

Han Xue said coldly: "Go away!"

Seeing this, this man was quite sensible and did not cause any more trouble to Han Xue.

in the classroom.

Han Xue was still sulking over what had just happened, looking like he might explode at any time. The three of them did not dare to approach, but chose a corner to sit down. Chen Mo and Charcoal had expressionless faces, as if they didn't know anything. .

Du Fangyan's face was red and his eyes were bloodshot. He kept looking outside the classroom, as if waiting for something.

It was almost time for class, and except for Du Qingqing, Lu Yi didn't come either.

Instructor Qinghong still came to the classroom on time and stood on the high platform looking at everyone.

"Students, starting from today, I will teach the cultivation methods and application techniques of twenty basic natural disaster skills. Each of you should focus on selecting one or two key trainings based on your areas of expertise."

As she spoke, she took out her notebook.

"Now you will report one by one the basic skills you want to focus on training."

"Gao Shu."

The first one to get up was Gao Shu, who was sitting at the front of the classroom.

"I want to focus on training basic assassination and basic body skills."

Without waiting for Teacher Qinghong to respond, he took out a small bag of shiny stones from the storage space and handed it to Teacher Qinghong respectfully.

Such a blatant bribery made Chen Mo stunned even though he was mentally prepared.

"There are at least a dozen energy stones."

Charcoal took a deep breath and murmured in a low voice, looking very envious.

After Teacher Qinghong took the energy stone, he said "hmm" of course and recorded it in his notebook.

Then several other adult starving ghosts also gave bribes one by one. Such blatantness was completely different from Chen Mo's educational philosophy, but it was normal in a disaster world.

Instructor Qinghong accepted everyone who came, or in other words, several people gave her the amount that she was satisfied with.

"Ghost Slaughter."

When the ghost slaughter came, he stood up and said, "I want to focus on training basic slashing and basic blocking."

Unexpectedly, instructor Qinghong looked up at him and said calmly: "Don't be too ambitious. With your qualifications, it's enough to learn the basics of chopping. The next one."

Now everyone finally understood.

If there is no bribery, then in terms of basic skills, you can only choose one to focus on training.

The different results of this will be similar to a Lv7 level 7 basic skill. Compared with two Lv6 level 6 basic skills, in terms of surviving the Starving Ghost Trial mission, the latter is naturally better.

Although others were angry about this, there was nothing they could do about it.

When it was Lei Wu's turn next, he just said lightly: "Basic elements."

He didn't seem to have any intention of offering bribes. He was extremely confident in himself. Instructor Qinghong was not surprised by this and behaved quite calmly.

Soon it was Chen Mo's turn.

He stood up and said: "Basic telekinesis."

After recording all the students in the class, Instructor Qinghong looked at the notebook and frowned: "There is still one left, where is Luyi?"

Gao Shu stood up and came to Tutor Qinghong, whispered something, and at the same time took out a small bag.

After Teacher Qinghong took the bag, he opened it, took a look, and then threw it back.

"Since he is sick, wait until he recovers before he comes to see me."

Seeing this scene, Chen Mo knew without thinking that Teacher Qinghong was not satisfied with the contents of the bag, or that he was dissatisfied with his behavior that dared to disrupt his classroom discipline.

Then Teacher Qinghong strode out of the classroom.

When she came back, she was holding a huge wooden box in her arms, which contained different types of equipment and props. According to the records in the notebook, these equipments were distributed to everyone one by one.

Chen Mo got a magical prop that was the size of a walnut and similar to a top.

"These are training props for Starving Ghost students. They can help you better master basic skills. They are also one of the welfare measures provided by the Great Disaster Academy."

Everyone who got the student training tools instinctively began to practice in the classroom.

Chen Mo was surprised to find that controlling the top with his mind seemed to be easier than controlling the library key. The top not only floated easily, but also flew around him in a very stable arc.

Through this top, he can feel his mental state more delicately.

Several people who noticed Chen Mo's situation couldn't help but express surprise.

"Wow, when did you master the basic telekinesis?"

Charcoal exclaimed, looking very envious.

He chose to focus on training basic body skills, and was given two weight-bearing sandbags by his instructor, which also had magic properties.

"It's just luck."

Chen Mo's humility made Charcoal think he was concealing his inscrutability. His legs, which were tied with sandbags, were obviously a bit unruly and his movements were quite awkward.

There were a total of twelve students in the class, and instructor Qinghong began to guide them one by one. The time that could be allocated to each person was quite limited.

Everyone noticed that she spent significantly more time instructing the four adult starving ghosts, almost three or four times as much as others. She would demonstrate and explain in person, while she would end the instruction with only a few words to the others.

This was clearly the result of previous bribery.

The adult starving ghosts felt at ease with this, and showed proud eyes intentionally or unintentionally.

Under the guidance of Instructor Qinghong, it was Chen Mo’s turn soon.

"When did you master the basic telekinesis?"

"yesterday."

"good."

After a brief conversation, she praised Chen Mo and then began to explain the guidance.

Many of the contents were practical knowledge not found in books and materials, but unfortunately, she did not have much time to explain and guide Chen Mo, and it was soon the next student's turn.

But even so, Chen Mo still felt that after tutor Qinghong's explanation and guidance, many things that he had only half understood before suddenly became enlightened and he benefited a lot.

"It's a pity that the instructor's explanation time is too short."

Chen Mo looked at the adult starving ghosts and felt a little envious.

"One more thing!"

Instructor Qinghong, who had been explaining in the class, seemed to remember something. After attracting everyone's attention, he said loudly: "If you don't want to die in the Starving Demon Trial, you must at least ensure that your main basic skills are raised to above Lv5. , of course it would be better if it can reach Lv10.”

Soon it was time for get out of class to end.

Under the command of Instructor Qinghong, everyone returned these training props one after another. After being confirmed by Instructor Qinghong one by one, the get out of class was officially dismissed.
