Chapter 30: The Four-Person Squad – Am I the Only One Who Isn't the Netherworld Cat?
"There are four levels of battle armor."
Wu Changkong's voice returned to calm.
"With each level up, the requirements for wearing the gear and the enhancement will increase accordingly, but these are still a long way off for you."
After all, battle armor starts at the fifth ring, while most people present are only at the second ring, and some haven't even reached the second ring yet. A four-word battle armor is simply too far away.
Wu Changkong picked up a booklet from the podium and turned to a page.
"Today is the second day of school, and there are some rules and regulations that I need to tell you in advance."
Everyone sat up straight and listened quietly.
"The college has a contribution point system."
"Contribution points are the only circulating currency within the academy. Gold Soul Coins are not circulated within the academy. You can use them to buy things outside, but within the academy, contribution points are the only hard currency."
Luo Ziyan paused for a moment, then muttered something under her breath.
"Gold Soul Coins can't be used!"
She was quite happy when she received the thousand gold soul coins the day before yesterday. Of course, even if she couldn't spend them at the academy, spending them outside the academy was still quite good.
Besides, this money comes from the academy, so the academy naturally wouldn't be short of it.
"What can you do with contribution points?"
A boy raised his hand and asked.
Wu Changkong glanced at him.
"Exchange resources".
"Forging materials, soul tool materials, cultivation privileges in special locations, pills, battle armor parts—as long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange for most of the resources in the academy."
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited; so many things could be exchanged.
"How do I earn contribution points?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask a question.
"There are many ways to earn contribution points, such as completing tasks assigned by the college, achieving excellent results in various assessments, serving as a class officer, and having a second career."
"Speaking of second careers, our class's Soul Tool Production Committee member, Mecha Repairman, Mecha Maker, Mecha Designer, and Blacksmith will be assessed in a month. The most capable person for each career will be selected to serve as the corresponding class officer."
Hearing this, everyone was intrigued. After all, they were all starting from scratch and had never heard of these things before. Surely they would have room to make a difference?
"So, next, we will select the class monitor and vice class monitor."
"One squad leader and two deputy squad leaders. Once in this position, no one may hold another position concurrently."
"The selection method is very simple: it's all about ability."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was stunned. If it came down to strength, then wouldn't she, as a support-type Soul Master, be rendered useless?
You can't just throw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda at someone, can you?
Wu Changkong seemed to have anticipated this reaction and slowly began to speak.
"Class officers will be re-evaluated each semester, and the next class monitor and vice-monitor will be selected based on their usual performance."
"Next, I need you to form your own teams."
Wu Changkong's gaze swept over the twenty people present.
"There are twenty students in the class. They will be divided into five teams of four. Today's practical assessment will be conducted in teams."
"Now, let's start forming teams. You have 15 minutes."
The atmosphere in the classroom instantly became lively. Everyone turned to look at the people around them. Some had already started forming cliques, some were still observing, and some were thinking about who to team up with.
Ning Rongrong turned around almost without hesitation, facing Wu Siduo who was sitting next to her.
"Sister Wu Siduo, let's be on the same team!"
Although Ning Rongrong didn't know how old Wu Siduo was, she immediately called her "sister," since Wu Siduo looked so mature and had a high soul power level.
Ning Rongrong seemed quite enthusiastic, while Wu Siduo looked up at her, her cold eyes showing no emotion. After a couple of seconds of silence, she nodded slightly.
After receiving Wu Siduo's agreement, Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with joy. You should know that Wu Siduo is a four-ring Soul Master, and one of only two in the class with twin martial souls. With Wu Siduo's addition, the team's strength has directly increased to a higher level.
Ning Rongrong's mind raced. A team has four people, and she and Wu Siduo already occupied two spots.
The remaining two spots—Yeats?
Ye Zhi possesses the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and her support abilities are stronger than hers. If Ye Zhi can be brought in, then this team will have two four-ring powerhouses, which is simply a luxurious configuration.
But Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment.
Ye Zhi's martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which has a two-level higher limit than her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
If Ye Zhi were also in the team, she would take on the support role, and Ning Rongrong's role would be greatly diminished, or even completely overshadowed.
She needs to demonstrate her value within a team, especially in front of Wu Siduo.
As a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong was very clear about her investment targets and knew that she had to demonstrate her value when making investments.
"Sister Yeats, let's work together again next time."
Ning Rongrong silently said something to herself, then turned her head and scanned the classroom, looking for her third teammate.
"Can I join?"
A cool, clear voice came from the side.
Ning Rongrong turned her head and saw Zhu Zhuqing standing not far behind her, his black eyes looking at Wu Siduo and then at her.
"I want to be on your team."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment. She was not familiar with Zhu Zhuqing and had exchanged no more than ten words with her since she signed up.
But she knew Zhu Zhuqing's strength; the Netherworld Cat was also a second-ring spirit, with a higher soul power level than her.
Moreover—Ning Rongrong suddenly understood something.
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to join, mostly not because the two of them were familiar with each other, but because of Wu Siduo.
One of Wu Siduo's twin martial souls is the Netherworld Cat, which is exactly the same as Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul.
Ning Rongrong didn't make a decision for Wu Siduo, but turned to look at her. Wu Siduo glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and nodded faintly.
"One more person is needed."
Just then, a girl with golden hair walked over with a smile.
"Have you three already teamed up? If you don't mind, could I join?"
Ning Rongrong was taken aback when she saw the girl in front of her. This was another Soul Master in the class with twin martial souls, and also a four-ring Soul Master.
Her name is Dai Yun'er, and her martial souls are... Netherworld Cat and Spirit Eye.
Huh?
Ning Rongrong was completely stunned. If that were the case, it seemed that she was the only one in their group of four who didn't have the Netherworld Cat martial soul.
So you're the exception?
"sure!"
Ning Rongrong nodded with a smile. Although she was the only one who didn't have the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, her team was practically invincible right now.
Two four-rings and two two-rings – this configuration is absolutely top-notch in the entire class.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and everyone completed their team formation.
Wu Changkong stepped down from the podium, glanced at each group, and nodded slightly.
"Team formation complete. Now, everyone follow me, prepare for the practical assessment."
