Chapter 12

Young geniuses are always arrogant. If you stir them up a little, someone will jump out immediately.

After learning that the first and second place to reach the training ground were students in logistics management, the new students started talking endlessly.

Soon, a boy walked over and said rudely, “Hey, are you two the ones the instructor was talking about?”

He was tall, taller than Song Chunshi and Alan by more than a head. Plus, he was looking down at them, which made him even more intimidating.

Alan swallowed hard, his voice trembling, “What do you want?”

But the boy didn’t pay any attention to him. He was directly targeting Song Chunshi, “I’m asking you. Are you mute? Or do the barbarians from the barren planet not understand the common language?”

Now Song Chunshi was sure that the native of the barren planet that Alan mentioned, the one the Barren Planet team encountered, was her. They were probably live-streaming at the time, and she accidentally appeared in the video, catching some people’s attention.

She glanced at the boy in front of her, her tone cold, “I don’t talk to people with their noses in the air.”

“What! You…” The boy was angry. He reached out to grab her.

But before he could, Song Chunshi quickly moved to the side, raised her hand to grab his wrist, and with a flick of her arm, slammed him to the ground.

Bang!

The boy fell heavily to the ground, making a loud noise that startled everyone.

“What happened? What happened?”

“It’s Anton Brennan. He provoked the girl, and then he was defeated in one move!”

“Isn’t he last year’s junior martial arts runner-up? How could he…”

“I heard them say that the girl is that famous Passerby Girl on the star network. Is she really that good?”

“It’s true. She just pulled him with her hand, and Brennan fell.”

The fall was quite hard. It took several seconds for Anton Brennan to get up. His face was flushed red, and his expression was fierce and distorted.

He thought that he had just been careless and wanted to fight back to regain his face, but the instructor stopped him.

“Private fighting is prohibited during training. Students Song Chunshi and Anton Brennanan, first warning!”

Hearing this, Anton Brennan glared at Song Chunshi and said silently, “You’re going to pay for this.”

After he turned and left, Alan was still a little shaken. It took him a while to recover, “Chunshi, you actually defeated Anton Brennan in one move!”

“Do you know him?” Song Chunshi asked.

Alan shook his head, a look of disapproval on his round face, “He was the runner-up in the junior martial arts competition last year. Many people know him. But I don’t like him. During the competition, he broke his opponent’s leg.”

It wasn’t an accident. He broke it on purpose. Although that kind of injury could be healed with a little time in a healing machine, Anton Brennan’s cruel behavior still made people uncomfortable.

“Be careful.” Alan’s eyes were filled with seriousness, “He has a lot of companions. They might come looking for trouble.”

Song Chunshi nodded, her gaze sweeping over everyone present. Her expression remained calm, “Perfect. I’ll be waiting.”

After this little incident, the instructor quickly announced the start of training.

The whole morning, the students were constantly gathering, lining up, dispersing, and then quickly gathering again under the instructors’ instructions.

The constant running, combined with the mad dash this morning, quickly made the new students hungry.

At this time, several robots pushed food carts into the training ground.

The first food cart had a variety of food, nutritious and balanced, and it looked delicious. The second food cart had boxed meals, with a mix of meat and vegetables. It was also pretty good.

But the food on these two carts wasn’t very plentiful. The rest of the carts were all filled with nutrient solution.

The instructor looked at the exhausted new students, his smile looking sinister, “See that obstacle wall over there? If you can successfully pass it, you can enjoy lunch. Remember, first come, first served.”

Before the words were out of his mouth, the students had already rushed out.

After a morning of intense exercise, these young people were so hungry they could eat themselves. Food was right in front of them. No one wanted to eat bland nutrient solution.

Song Chunshi didn’t participate in the scramble at first. She had eaten things that were even harder to swallow on the barren planet. She thought nutrient solution was pretty good.

However, after being pushed and shoved by people several times, and having someone try to trip her with their foot, she frowned.

She didn’t want to stand out. There were many powerful people in the world. Her little skills were nothing special. If she became arrogant because of this, she would only become a laughingstock.

But not wanting to stand out didn’t mean she had to put up with it.

At this time, the students who were running at the front had reached the obstacle wall. The first one was Anton Brennan.

Song Chunshi glanced at him from a distance. Her body was as agile as a fish in water. It was unclear how she moved. Wherever she went, people either stepped back or fell down. A path was cleared through the crowd.

Someone tried to pull her, but she was like a gust of wind, quickly passing everyone. It was impossible to catch her.

Soon, she also reached the bottom of the obstacle wall. The wall was several meters high, with no protrusions, only a few small indentations to use as footholds. Several students were struggling to climb the wall, using their hands and feet.

Song Chunshi used her fingers to exert force, her toes continuously pushing off the footholds. In a few quick movements, she jumped onto the top of the wall, overlooking everyone.

Anton Brennan was about to reach the top, but someone cut him off. He was furious. He glared at her fiercely.

Song Chunshi walked over, looking down at him from above. Suddenly, she gently pushed him with her hand, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Most of the students saw Anton Brennan fall from the high wall. They were shocked. The other few students who were climbing the wall stopped hesitantly, afraid that they would be pushed down too.

The training ground was so quiet that only the sound of breathing and Anton Brennan’s curses could be heard.

The instructors stood up straight, their eyes fixed on this side.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Chunshi stood on top of the high wall. Her common language wasn’t very fluent, so she—

“I’ll only say this once. Don’t mess with me.”

As soon as she finished speaking those simple words, she jumped down from the wall, as light as a leaf falling to the ground, making almost no sound.

Everyone was blocked on the other side of the obstacle wall, except for her. She was the only one who came to the food cart, casually took a lunchbox, and was about to leave when she remembered something. She turned back, accurately finding Alan in the crowd, and slightly raised her voice, “What do you want to eat?”

Alan was stunned for a second, then ran over happily, “I want meat! I want meat! Chunshi, you’re so nice!”

Not far away, the instructors watched the whole scene and smiled at Carol, “Your little dark horse is really impressive.”

Carol shook his head, “That’s not her intention.”

He could see that the girl wasn’t interested in showing off, but at the same time, she had no tolerance for the bullying that was directed at her. So her counterattack, in the eyes of others, became a way of asserting her dominance.

Another instructor asked with interest, “Do you think that chubby guy named Alan is really stupid or just pretending?”

It was obvious that Anton Brennan had already considered Song Chunshi as his rival. The other students, having been suppressed by her, were definitely not happy. Standing by her side now meant standing against everyone else. Did that chubby guy know this?

They could see that Song Chunshi had given Alan a choice. If he had refused, their short-lived friendship would have ended there, and he wouldn’t have been implicated. But he chose to step forward. In gaining a friend, he would also have to bear the consequences of this friend.

But who could say he wasn’t lucky?

To gain the friendship of a strong person so easily was something many people wanted but couldn’t get.

Song Chunshi carried the lunchbox and walked to a quiet place to share it with Alan.

“It’s star beast meat!” As soon as the food entered his mouth, Alan’s face was full of surprise, “My sister said that I would definitely only be able to eat nutrient solution every day during training, and the worst kind at that. She wouldn’t believe that I’m eating star beast meat now!”

“Do you think it’s good?” Song Chunshi took a bite. It was the familiar rough texture. These star beasts, no matter what species, didn’t seem to be associated with deliciousness.

But she had seen on the star network that star beast meat was incredibly expensive. The cheapest kind cost 300 credit points per kilogram, which would be enough to buy a month’s worth of nutrient solution.

Alan squinted his eyes. His round face was full of enjoyment, “It’s not delicious, but it feels good after eating it. My brain feels warm, like the feeling of lying in bed on a winter day.”

Star beast meat could slowly promote psychic power growth. Song Chunshi didn’t have psychic power, so she naturally couldn’t feel this. She just thought that this meat was full of energy and wouldn’t make you hungry easily.

She casually asked, “What level is your psychic power?”

Alan hesitated, looking at her cautiously, with a hint of unease, “I’m C+ now, but I’ll soon reach B-level!”

He knew he wasn’t very talented, and he was afraid of being disliked by his new friend.

But Song Chunshi didn’t react at all. She just said, “That’s good. I’m E-level.”

Alan widened his eyes in surprise. He thought Song Chunshi was super amazing, so he instinctively thought she was very talented. But she was actually E-level?

He quickly said, “It’s okay. You can upgrade. I came from E-level. When I contact my sister, I’ll ask her to send us some star beast meat and psychic power potions.”

After hearing this, Song Chunshi only had one thought: the chubby guy is rich!

Psychic power wasn’t something you could just improve. Every level jump required countless amounts of money to fill the gap. It took a lot of money to pull a weak E-level all the way to the brink of B-level. What kind of family could afford that?

After lunch, training continued in the afternoon.

It wasn’t until nightfall that the students were finally allowed to leave the training ground.

The instructor pointed to a row of pods behind them and grinned, “Those are your dorms for the next fifteen days. Now, go choose a room.”

The pods could be seen as high or low just from their appearance. The ones on the top floor were luxurious, and the ones on the bottom floor were simple. Whoever got there first could choose the best ones.

However, unlike the scramble for lunch earlier, half of the students didn’t move. The other half subconsciously looked in the direction where Song Chunshi was standing.

Although some students comforted themselves, believing that they were civilized people and didn’t want to fight with barbarians, no one could deny that, just as a pack of animals determines the existence of a leader, Song Chunshi had quickly established her position within a day.
