‘Howl!’
‘Who stole my individual value?!’
Tang Hong was depressed and in a very bad mood. He had waited from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning. The sun was already shining into the dormitory, and the system prompt for the increase in his individual value still did not appear..
Even small melon seeds have protein.
And unsaturated fat, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium and other trace elements. It had a lot of benefits like calming mood, treating insomnia, enhancing memory, and preventing cell aging.
Not to mention the individual value.
It not only increases strength, but also increases willpower, which was priceless.
“Where is the problem?”
“It can possibly be a system failure again, I’m obviously not in love. I’m single, I’m single, I’m single. Ahhhh”
Tang Hong lay back, covered himself with the quilt, then sat up again.
The next moment.
Han Shibin’s scream of misery and indignation came from the opposite bed, “Tang Hong, you have been tossing the whole morning. When will you stop?!”
…
The library in the morning was not crowded and there were many empty seats.
The rustle of writing and the faint sound of typing on the notebook keyboard gently echoed in his ears. Tang Hong looked down at the “Banking and Financial Regulations” book. There was another book with a red cover, “All about Stocks and Bonds Investment” next to it.
“Individual value.”
“That is, to do something, or show a specific behavior, alone.”
Yesterday morning, he followed Fang Nanxun to the Yellow River Organization to sign a contract, returned to school at noon, and brewed in loneliness in the dormitory in the afternoon… Tang Hong recalled everything, not missing a single detail.
Suddenly.
His expression changed slightly, “Is it because Han Shibin, Zeng Li and Wu Jie returned to stay at the dormitory?”
The first system prompt he got every morning when he woke up flashed through his mind: Experience living by yourself, individual value +1.
There was no ‘first time’ prefix, which proved that he could repeat the action and get an individual value point each time.
He should think for the long run.
The first prompt every morning would definitely be a relatively stable long-term income, and Tang Hong was unwilling to give up.
This was the exploratory stage, and it’s okay to fail. He just had to treat it as accumulating experience.
“I can only go out and live.”
Tang Hong took a breath and flipped the pages of the book without actually paying attention to it.
He would stay out that day and see if he could get an individual value point the next day.
“Book a room.”
Tang Hong expertly launched WeChat and found a small homestay program.
These houses were all rented out by individuals and were cheaper than hotels. The room area of a homestay at the same price was much larger than a hotel room.
Not to mention, the decoration of many homestays was warmer and more user friendly.
After browsing around, Tang Hong saw many good ones at around 200 Hua dollars and settled on one.
Excluding single rooms and expensive ones, there were still many options.
But Tang Hong put away his phone. “It’s only ten o’clock in the morning.”
After 12 noon, most homestays would have discounts. After 6PM in the evening, or even 8PM or 9PM, there would be a big sale. “I’ll make a reservation after noon.”
Noon was the best time.
If he booked in the evening, it would be really cheap, but it would be hard to find a highly rated house.
Even if he wanted to save money, that was not the way to go about it.
He put away the phone and got up from his seat. It was time. If he did not go to the cafeteria now, it would get crowded really soon.
After lunch, it was just after noon.
Tang Hong did not return to the dormitory, but went directly to the classroom for the first two classes in the afternoon and sat down. After booking the homestay, he was about to take a nap when a WeChat alert sounded in his pocket.
The classroom was very quiet, and the alert sound seemed exceptionally loud.
“Eh?”
“I didn’t mute the phone?” Tang Hong remembered that he watched the beginning of a movie while eating. He seemed to have unmuted the phone then.
He hurriedly set the phone to mute and opened WeChat. It was Fang Nanxun’s message.
Fang Nanxun: “They gave an official reply. *smile*”
Seeing the smiling emoji, Tang Hong’s heart thumped fiercely. Was there anything wrong?
“What is it?”
He typed the words hurriedly.
Fang Nanxun said, “The date is set, it will be the batch at the end of June. My request for delayed entry to the camp was unfortunately rejected.”
This year, the special training camp planned to expand the enrollment numbers and there would be one hundred more places in total to allocate to the branches.
The Yunhai branch office had to find a way to fill five positions.
“You couldn’t get enough people?” Tang Hong asked.
“That’s not it. It’s very simple… The main reason is that the admission fee is a bit expensive. I’m afraid that no one can afford it at such short notice.” Fang Nanxun explained somewhat.
Tang Hong was speechless. “Is it very expensive? This is Yunhai.”
Fang Nanxun explained. “The background check, qualification approval, and the admission process are very cumbersome. Apart from being rich, you must also be qualified. Besides, you can’t force this on anyone. Joining must be voluntary. There is so little time, and I still have other tasks. Where will I find people from?”
“Can’t be forced, must be voluntary?”
Tang Hong lowered his head and stared at the phone screen. The change of expression on his face could not be seen.
“You are different. I said before, Tang Hong, you are different from others.”
Fang Nanxun patiently explained. “Someone from the government found out and asked about your situation. If it weren’t for that contract, we wouldn’t be able to keep your files. By the end of the day, you will have to leave the campus and join the Transcendent Department.”
“What about now?”
“You have at least another two months of free time.”
Fang Nanxun looked helpless.
The truth was, he hoped it would be better sooner.
However, the resources of the Yellow River Organization were relatively limited. It only held two special training camps each year. If he let Tang Hong join now, on the one hand, he was worried that Tang Hong would not be able to keep up with the training and end up delaying everyone.
On the other hand, he was also afraid of undermining Tang Hong’s confidence and affecting the tempering of his willpower.
“Alright.” Tang Hong sent a smiling corgi emoji. “Just tell me where that bungalow is.”
Fang Nanxun also returned with a classic sweat emoji.
“I forgot to tell you…”
“This is the community address…” He posted a WeChat location. “If I remember correctly, the community door card is placed on the shoe cabinet. The garage password is 666666#, and the driving permit should be in the car. Look for it for yourself.”
Garage password?
So advanced?
Tang Hong blinked and felt a little emotional. But what followed was confusion. “Why are you so good to me! I don’t deserve it!”
Fang Nanxun said, “I’m just lending it to you for a few days, it’s nothing.”
Tang Hong was shocked. “What!? I was just about to ask you when you are free to transfer the house!”
Fang Nanxun: “…”
Fang Nanxun moved the mouse cursor and searched for a long time before awkwardly pulling out a compressed file and sent it to Tang Hong via WeChat. “This is the last entry test question. Take a look.”
“Okay.”
Tang Hong opened the compressed file.
The scoring criteria of the physical test included the following five aspects:
Strength, Speed, Endurance, Agility, Flexibility.
Other than that was the test of willpower.
Tang Hong clicked in and saw only a few small prints: top secret information.
He looked at the physical test again. It was just a few simple words. Tang Hong was suddenly worried.
Opening WeChat, Tang Hong asked, “Which is more important, physical test or willpower test?”
Fang Nanxun: “Of course, the willpower test is more important, but to temper your willpower, your physique must be strong enough. If you want to do well, you should practice the bench press until you can reach the standard of 100 kg before entering the camp. No need to worry about the rest.”
He didn’t bother to talk about things that were too basic.
There were points that were useful, but not suitable for Tang Hong at this stage… so he felt that there was nothing more to say. Entering the special training camp was the real beginning for Tang Hong to embark on the path to being a Transcendent. The training method of the special training camp was more formal and more effective.
It was like planting a tree. If you had just planted it in the soil, and you wanted it to take root and sprout, then grow into a big tree within the next two days. That only happened in movies about magic.
However, Tang Hong pressed on, “What happens after I reach the standard.”
Fang Nanxun: “Young man, don’t ask too much. It’s useless.”
He was not anxious, but Tang Hong was.
“Just you wait!”
Tang Hong glanced at the individual value on the information interface and sent a huge smiling emoji.
“Haha.”
Fang Nanxun was noncommittal.
Not having suffered any setbacks, the child really thought he was an extraordinary genius .
However, Fang Nanxun understood. When he was young, he was even crazier than Tang Hong. He became a Transcendent in just one year, and he wanted to put a huge screen on his chest to let everyone know.
Until he participated in the blockade.
Gradually, he understood the true situation of the invasion of the gods from the other dimension.
It was hope, and also despair.
