Chapter 78 Training
When Rong Yuan woke up from his daze, he seemed to still be in the swamp in his dream. The boundless darkness and the sound of rain enveloped him. He did not feel scared, but rather a sense of security.
He pulled down his blindfold, and suddenly his eyes were filled with light. He took off his headphones, and the whispers of the passengers in the cabin filled his ears.
"Awake?" Wang Haojun, the head teacher sitting next to him, turned his head to look at him, then lowered the small table in front of him from the backrest of the front seat, put a glass of water on it for him, and said, "I just asked for a cup of boiled water for you. It's still hot. Drink some. The plane will land soon."
"Yeah." Rong Yuan responded softly, picked up the water and took two sips. His eyes were still dazed, and the hair on his head was messy from sleep.
Wang Haojun smoothed his hair and asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom? If you want to go, hurry up."
Rong Yuan shook his head and said, "No need." He put down the cup of water, rubbed his eyes, and put the Wandou Bluetooth earphones into his ears. Wandou began to report to him the news collected during this period and the changes in merits.
After a while, the flight attendant came over to take away the drinks on the table, and then gently asked them to put away the table board and checked the seat belts. Half an hour later, the plane landed at the airport in City B.
Outside the airport , a thin, long-faced, small-eyed, ordinary-looking man was holding a sign that read "City A: Wang Haojun and Rongyuan." Seeing the sign from afar, Wang Haojun and Rongyuan walked over and said, "Hello, I'm Wang Haojun, and this is Rongyuan."
"Oh," the young man immediately put down the sign and stretched out his hand to shake hands. "Hello, Teacher Wang! Hello, Student Rong! I'm Zhao Xiang, sent by the organizing committee to pick you up. Just call me Xiao Zhao. The car is waiting outside. Please follow me."
He reached out to take Rong Yuan's luggage. Rong Yuan glanced over and saw the "-5879" above his head. He was stunned for a moment, and when Rong Yuan approached, he subconsciously punched him with his elbow.
"Ouch!" Zhao Xiang screamed, fell backwards to the ground, holding his stomach and grimacing.
"Intentionally harming Zhao Xiang, merit -105." Pea's reminder followed.
Wang Haojun, who was confused about the situation, quickly helped Zhao Xiang up and said on Rong Yuan's behalf, "I'm sorry, Xiao Zhao. This kid fell asleep on the plane and is still not awake! How are you? Are you okay?"
With his help, Zhao Xiang finally stood up, covered his chest, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine." - It would be strange if he was fine, in fact, he was almost dying of pain, and he didn't know how this damn kid could be so strong.
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Wang Haojun kept saying this. In fact, he despised Zhao Xiang's pretense. In his opinion, Rong Yuan just pokes him lightly. It may hurt a little, but it's too much to show it so exaggeratedly. However, he loves his own child. He scolded Rong Yuan lightly with a fierce face: "Rong Yuan, what's wrong with you? Haven't you woken up yet? Why don't you apologize to Uncle Zhao?"
Rong Yuan looked at Zhao Xiang and said, "I'm sorry."
Zhao Xiang looked into his cold eyes, feeling as if he had been seen through, and shuddered involuntarily. He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's my fault for scaring you."
Rong Yuan looked at the number above his head again and confirmed that it was "-5879". While the two were walking and chatting, he deliberately slowed down and took a few steps behind, and whispered to Wandou: "Wandou, what's going on? Do I have to deduct points for punishing the evildoers?"
Pea said: "The Merit Book has opened new rules. Do you want to check it out?"
"read."
"Rule 15: For evildoers with negative merits below 10,000, the contractor will punish them without confirming their evil deeds, and their merits will be deducted according to the standards for those without merits."
Rong Yuan asked: "-- In other words, if someone has negative merits of more than ten thousand, then I can kill him in any way I want. If it's less than ten thousand, then I have to find out what bad things he has done first?"
"Yes." Pea replied.
Rong Yuan was a little angry at first. He had to be so restrained when dealing with villains. But after a while, he figured it out. If he didn't confirm what the other party did when he fell to the ground, and just relied on the positive and negative merit points seen by the Heavenly Eye to kill randomly, then what was the difference between him and the puppet in the Merit Book? Besides, is the merit point seen by the Heavenly Eye absolutely correct?
Having had the Merit Book and the Sky Eye for such a long time, Rong Yuan discovered that the Merit Book’s calculation of merit values is very mechanical and rigid. For example, if a person does a lot of good things, and then kills another person for some reason, he is guilty in law, and his crime is unforgivable to the other person’s relatives and friends, but in the calculation rules of the Merit Book, there are more positive merits and fewer negative merits, and after adding them up, he is still a good person with positive merits. On the contrary, if a person does a lot of bad things and then turns over a new leaf and starts doing good deeds, but before his good deeds can offset his negative merits, he is still a villain identified as a bad guy by the Merit Book.
"Wadou, keep this guy under full surveillance." Rong Yuan whispered.
"yes."
Although he was not on the wanted list, the five or six thousand merit points were like a big fragrant chicken leg twisting and turning. It was impossible for Rong Yuan to ignore it and not eat it. However, he had already decided to give up the identity of "Crow", so the method of eating the chicken leg would require him to plan carefully according to the situation.
…
The hall where the training team reported was crowded with more than 20 teenagers, accompanied by their parents or teachers. Some adults gathered around the person in charge to talk, some praised other people's children and showed off their own children. Some teenagers were listening to music, some were chatting, some were playing with their phones, and some were even racing against time to do their homework in such a place. Rong Yuan and Wang Haojun pushed the door open and came in. Several people near the door looked over subconsciously, and then they were quiet. Then, this silence spread throughout the hall as if it was contagious, and many people looked over in confusion.
"What's wrong, girl?" Rong Yuan heard a parent ask in a low voice. Obviously, this sudden change made him a little scared.
His daughter also whispered: "He is that Rong Yuan..."
This name was obviously well-known among the parents, and some of them immediately looked over with burning eyes, and it was hard to say that they were well-intentioned - the ratio of fifty to four made everyone gathered here a competitor, and Rong Yuan, who ranked first in the total score in the final, was undoubtedly the most ferocious obstacle.
The worst thing is that this tiger is blocking three roads in a domineering manner, and its hateful index has risen to three times the cube of the original.
Wang Haojun seemed very satisfied with the attention. He coughed lightly, raised his head and chest, and proudly walked to the front with Rong Yuan. He said to the person in charge in a reserved manner: "My student is Rong Yuan, reporting here. What procedures do I need to go through?"
The person in charge confirmed his identity with a handheld computer and said, "The school has just sent off a group of foreign guests, and the rooms have not been cleaned yet. Please wait in the lobby for a while. We will notify you when the arrangements are made." He handed a paper form to Rong Yuan and said, "Fill out this form and give it to me when you are done."
Rong Yuan then realized why so many people were waiting here, and he took the form and started filling it out. Wang Haojun went inside the hotel to check out the facilities in the room, said hello to Rong Yuan, and went out empty-handed - boys are careless, and many small things that are necessary for life are easily overlooked when purchasing, and they will only be remembered when they are needed, so Wang Haojun wrote a list in advance and planned to buy them .
"Hi, how are you!" A girl with twin ponytails and bright eyes lay down beside Rong Yuan and greeted him.
Rong Yuan glanced at her, pretending not to hear her, and just continued writing his own words.
The girl didn't feel embarrassed. She grabbed her head and said, "Haha, you got full marks in the final last time, right? How did you do the last geometric figure? I went back and thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Can you please explain it to me when you have time?"
"You can ask the teacher." Rong Yuan refused politely.
"Okay." The girl lowered her head in frustration, then she gathered herself and said, "We just made an appointment to go to the famous attractions in City B this Sunday. You can come too! It's fun!"
"Not interested." Rong Yuan said coldly.
After being rejected twice without hesitation, the girl standing there with her hands hanging down looked a little pitiful. His companion raised his voice and shouted: "Sugarcane!"
The girl, whose real name was Gan Zheng, turned around and saw her companion waving at her. She hurried over and heard her companion say, "Didn't you see that his eyes were on the top of his head? Why would you bother with him? He'll embarrass you in vain!"
"I don't think so!" Gan Zheng said, scratching his head with a silly smile, "Besides, he looked so pitiful, all alone! When we go out, we should take care of each other!"
"Come on, that guy is so arrogant, he doesn't need your care." said the companion with a pout.
Gan Zheng held his companion's hand and smiled ingratiatingly, then turned around to look at Rong Yuan who was standing alone in front of him, and thought: Do you really not... feel lonely?
…
For this intensive training, the three subjects of chemistry, physics, and mathematics were placed in three adjacent universities in city B. The distance between them was very close, and it took at most half an hour to walk there. Rong Yuan and his friends were arranged to live in a hotel inside the school, two people in a room, with complete bathroom facilities, as well as simple furniture such as desks, wardrobes, lamps, and TVs and air conditioners. All expenses during the training period were provided by the organizing committee, and they were also given a recharged school card, which could be used to eat in the cafeteria or shop in the supermarket. The management here is not strict either. You can go to class, or choose to study on your own, or go out to play, as long as you come back on time every day. Students who do not have strong self-control here may soon become addicted to computers or playing and never want to leave.
But everyone here can be said to be a child of destiny. Their hard work and spirit of study can put any ordinary student who complains about high school life to shame. At the same time, their study pressure is also very high. Basically, they have to finish the college courses in about a month, and also brush up on the real questions of previous competitions. Many people study until one or two o'clock every day, and get up early in the morning to study. In this environment where it is difficult to take care of everything except study, these fifty students who have been together for a month and a half may only know three or five people in the same period, except for their roommates.
This pace of study made Rong Yuan feel a little stressed, and he spontaneously extended the time and number of questions he practiced every day. But what made him feel even more stressed was his weird roommate.
Rong Yuan sincerely felt that meeting such a roommate with a one in fifty chance was really... quite miraculous.
