Chapter 147 Annual Leave
The training camp had more than 400 trainees, divided into ten groups. It took a day to collect 3,000 points from each person.
The 3,000-point order maintenance fee caused deep resentment among the training camp participants.
Several hundred students waited outside the square for more than an hour before gradually leaving.
On the forum of the genius training camp, many current trainees were arguing fiercely.
Damn, has Chen Lie, the new leader of the Blazing Sun Alliance, gone mad?
Charging 3,000 points per person? Is he crazy for money?
The matter of collecting 3,000 points had little to do with anyone else; it was Xu Congjin who proposed it.
When the Star Alliance issued an announcement on the forum, Xu Congjin's proposal to charge each student an additional 1,000 points was met with opposition from almost everyone.
But that bastard Xu Congjin actually said something like, "Let the students suffer, I'll take the blame."
There's news. The Blazing Sun Alliance has issued an announcement saying that the 3,000 points charge is only for this month, and things will return to normal next month.
On the Genius Training Camp forum, a striking red post was placed at the top.
Announcement: Regarding Matters Related to the Collection of Points for the Lie Ri Alliance
The red notice states: This additional points levy is temporary, and everything will return to normal starting next month.
Xu Congjin, who advocated for adding points to the system, has been severely criticized and punished by the organization.
There are already many replies to the post.
"What's the point of just criticizing? Give us our points back!"
"Yes, return the points!"
Inside the council chamber of the Sun Alliance.
The grassroots staff responsible for collecting points reported to Lu Qingying.
"Sister Ying, all the points for this month have been collected."
As you instructed, each person was charged 3,000 points, for a total of 1,056,000 points.
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Qingying nodded slightly, took the 1.05 million points card, and looked at Shang Chuanwu and the others.
"How's today?"
Shang Chuanwu said, "That's good. The students haven't really formed a united front."
However, this time the trainees were unaware beforehand, and the points were collected in batches. If this is done again next time, it will definitely cause trouble.
"There won't be a next time. Have Xu Congjin notify Chen Lie to come and collect the points."
"good!"
Lu Qingying allocated 600,000 points for Chen Lie to use.
Chen Lie's appetite is really too big; he wants to take 600,000 points from the organization every month.
You should know that 600,000 points can be converted into 1.8 billion star coins, and he just asked for them without any explanation.
Even as a direct descendant of the Lu family of Dongchuan, she couldn't possibly have that much money.
"The fact that Xu Congjin is so afraid of Chen Lie means that Chen Lie's background must be extraordinary."
What is it that makes the Xu family of Dongchuan so wary of offending them?
Lu Qingying fell into deep thought.
The Xu family of Dongchuan is a powerful clan. The Xu family's grandmaster, who was at the height of his power, was also the president of the Dongchuan Martial Arts Association, making him even more prestigious than the Lu family.
Looking across Dongchuan Province, even the provincial governor was only respected by the Xu family, not feared.
"Could it be that he really came from one of the top ten on Earth?"
Why would members of the most powerful families from the top ten provinces of Earth come to Dongchuan? The abundance of martial arts resources there far surpasses anything Dongchuan Province can offer.
After much thought, Lu Qingying decided to find an opportunity to ask her cousin about it.
The following day, Chen Lie withdrew 600,000 points from the Blazing Sun Alliance. Combined with his monthly base points of 20,000, his total points had surpassed 150,000.
Million.
On the day his points exceeded 150 million, Chen Lie went to the trading market.
Deep inside the trading street, Chen Lie entered the largest Samsung store.
As soon as I entered, a staff member came over and asked, "Hello, what would you like to order?"
Chen Lie said, "I would like to ask if your shop has any spiritual herbs that are over six hundred years old, or second-tier martial arts treasures."
The staff member said, "These items are extremely valuable, and there are definitely no stock available."
If you are a member of the provincial youth talent team, you can apply for a reservation, and we will search for you throughout the province, and even across the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
"Can members of the provincial youth genius group reserve resources?" Chen Lie asked.
"Yes, members of the provincial youth genius group have the privilege of reserving resources twice a month. After the reservation, we report to the Martial Arts Association for approval and search for you throughout the province. If we cannot find it within ten days, we will search all the provinces in Sichuan and Shaanxi."
"If no results are found within a month, the reservation will be void," the staff member explained.
"Oh, do the students in the genius training camp have the privilege of reserving resources?"
"No, the Martial Arts Association only grants this privilege to members of the province's Youth Genius Group."
Chen Lie nodded: "So your shop has never had any spiritual herbs that are over six hundred years old?"
"It's possible, but it's rare. In most cases, as soon as these valuable resources are available in the store, they are immediately bought up."
"Could you keep an eye out for me? I can leave my contact information so you can contact me as soon as you have any rare items in your store."
"I can keep an eye out for you," the staff member nodded.
"Thank you very much."
Chen Lie borrowed paper and pen to write down his name and contact information, and gave the staff a thank-you gift of 1,000 points.
After leaving the shop, Chen Lie went to the Divine Sense Master Exchange Meeting for a while.
However, points can't be earned all the time. After walking around the square of the Divine Sense Master Exchange Meeting, Chen Lie didn't encounter any opportunities to earn points and could only turn around and leave.
Before leaving, Chen Lie purchased more than a dozen sets of B-grade martial arts crystal cards at the training camp, which focused on improving Qi and blood.
After finishing his meal at the restaurant, Chen Lie returned to his dormitory.
At this moment, messages suddenly popped up in the main group chat of the Genius Training Camp.
Head Instructor: As the Lunar New Year is approaching, the training camp has decided to begin its holiday starting tomorrow.
If needed, all trainees may continue their training at the training camp for three more days. During these three days, all training venues in the training camp will remain open.
If not necessary, the trainees can begin leaving the training camp early tomorrow morning.
Soon, many students replied "Received".
Chen Lie looked at the message, replied with "Received", and then put away the communicator.
The Earth uses the Galactic calendar for its calendar, but the New Year is celebrated according to the old calendar, which is a tradition that has been around for thousands of years.
Back in his dormitory, Chen Lie thought about it for a while, but still didn't contact his family.
He guessed that his father must still be in Yunchuan, and since there was no airship at home, and the training camp was quite remote.
If my mother were to come, we would probably have to borrow an airship from relatives and friends, which would be too much trouble.
The next day, after having breakfast in the training camp restaurant, Chen Lie left the Genius Training Camp with the rest of the trainees.
However, Chen Lie's photos had already been widely circulated on the training camp forum.
When the students nearby saw Chen Lie, they all involuntarily moved to the side.
The roads, which were originally somewhat congested, became surprisingly spacious during the fog.
"Ah, Chen Lie?"
Chen Lie was walking ahead when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
So he stopped and looked back, only to see Feng Shuangshuang walking towards him.
"What's wrong, Shuangshuang?"
"Shuangshuang?"
Feng Shuangshuang was taken aback and immediately glared at Chen Lie.
This guy, relying on his superior strength, didn't even bother to call his cousin "cousin".
Under normal circumstances, she would have dragged Chen Lie to her aunt's place to complain about him no matter what.
Chen Lie had seen her in her disheveled state, and she still owed him so many points. It could be said that her image as the eldest sister had completely collapsed in front of Chen Lie, and she didn't even have the confidence to complain.
"Um—I have something to tell you, there are just too many people here."
"OK."
Chen Lie nodded and went with Feng Shuangshuang to the quiet path beside them.
Once they reached a deserted path, Chen Lie asked, "What is it? Tell me."
"Was it you who decided to add 1,000 points to all the training camp participants?" Feng Shuangshuang asked.
"I guess so!"
"Your actions were too violent; you can't continue like this. Yesterday outside the square, you almost incited public outrage."
If hundreds of students cause a scene at the instructor's office, you will definitely be disciplined.
"Oh, I understand. I probably won't do it again." Chen Lie nodded.
Feng Shuangshuang then asked, "Will that aunt come to pick you up later?"
Chen Lie shook his head: "No, I didn't tell my family."
"My mom's coming to pick me up in a bit. Why don't you have her take you home?"
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Auntie."
As Chen Lie spoke, he and Feng Shuangshuang walked out of the training camp gate together.
At this moment, there are hundreds of airships at the gate of the training camp, all of which are there to pick up students.
Chen Lie and Feng Shuangshuang approached a girl with short hair.
"Shuangshuang, this—"
Feng Shuangshuang immediately introduced, "This is my cousin, Chen Lie."
When she said the word "cousin," she emphasized it a little.
"Oh, so you're Chen Lie. You seem a little different from the one on the forum," the short-haired girl said.
Feng Shuangshuang then introduced Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, this is my classmate, Wu Qianqian."
Chen Lie hummed in response but did not speak.
"Mr. Chen Lie, if I may ask, what are your Qi and Blood stats?"
Since she was Feng Shuangshuang's friend, Chen Lie naturally had to give Wu Qianqian face by giving her points, saying, "More than a thousand calories of Qi and Blood, 3.5 times the Strength."
"Oh My God!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qianqian was immediately startled.
This blood and qi value already meets the standards of the provincial youth genius group, right?
Since he meets the standards for the provincial youth genius team, but chooses not to be promoted to the provincial youth genius team, there is only one possibility: he wants to stay in the genius training camp and reap the points of all the students.
"Mr. Chen Lie, Shuangshuang is your cousin. She paid the security fee with me yesterday. Since you're cousins, can't you waive her fee?"
Chen Lie said, "Alright, after the New Year, you can go directly to the council hall in Building One to report. I'll put in a good word and let you join the Star Alliance. They don't charge internal staff."
"Really? That's amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qianqian jumped up with joy.
Chen Lie meant that she should also join the Star Alliance, though it should now be called the Blazing Sun Alliance.
You should know that in the training camp, there are countless people who want to join the Star Alliance but don't even have a chance.
Star Alliance members are only accepted through internal referrals, and these referrals must be from senior members; otherwise, the Star Alliance will not accept ordinary students to join.
By joining the Star Alliance, firstly, you don't need to pay points every month, and secondly, you receive 1,500 points every month.
Aside from the days for collecting points, the rest of the time is similar to that of regular students, which is very flexible.
Joining the Star Alliance is equivalent to gaining more than 3,000 points every month.
Feng Shuangshuang didn't say anything, but felt even more ashamed in front of Chen Lie.
Wu Qianqian thanked her cousin twice, then suddenly received a call. After saying a few words into the communicator, Xu Qianqian hung up.
"Um—my parents are here to pick me up, Shuangshuang, I have to go now."
"Okay, goodbye!"
Feng Shuangshuang waved to Wu Qianqian.
After waiting outside for a while, Feng Shuangshuang finally saw her mother come to pick her up.
A blue airship landed on the ticket booth of the training camp.
Feng Shuangshuang immediately pulled Chen Lie over.
"Mom, I'm here!"
The airship's hatch opened, and a young woman who had been diving stepped out of the airship.
"Shuangshuang, is life at the training camp tough?"
The young woman stepped off the airship and came right up to Feng Shuangshuang.
"It's alright," Feng Shuangshuang replied.
The young woman nodded, then suddenly noticed Chen Lie next to Feng Shuangshuang: "This is—Chen Lie, right?"
"It's been so long since I've seen you, you've changed so much!"
Chen Lie nodded and called out, "Auntie."
The young woman in front of me is Feng Shuangshuang's mother, named Yang Huixian.
Yang Huixian nodded to Chen Lie and said, "Yes, Chen Lie, have your parents come to pick you up? If not, get on our family's airship, and I'll take you home."
"Mom, Chen Lie didn't tell my aunt about the training camp being on holiday. Could you take Chen Lie there in a little while?" Feng Shuangshuang said.
"Okay, there are too many people here, let's get on the airship and go!"
.
As she spoke, Yang Huixian had Chen Lie and her daughter Feng Shuangshuang board the airship, while she herself boarded the cockpit. Soon, the airship took off.
Yang Huixian said from the front, "Chen Lie, your mother said you just entered the genius training camp. I remember when you were young, your parents said your martial arts achievements were light. It seems that your achievements have improved a lot in the past year."
"There has been some progress," Chen Lie said.
"No need to be modest. There are nearly ten million school-age children in Dongchuan Province, but only a few hundred can enter the Genius Training Camp. If you enter the Genius Training Camp, then you are a martial arts genius."
How's it going? Are you getting used to life at the talent training camp?
"It's nice inside."
"Yes, your mother came to our house a few days ago to ask your cousin to take care of you."
"Don't be shy. If you encounter any difficulties or troubles at the training camp, just ask your cousin. Shuangshuang is a senior student, so she should be able to help you."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Feng Shuangshuang blushed instantly and said, feeling utterly ashamed, "Mom, please stop!"
Yang Huixian smiled and asked, "Shuangshuang, how's your martial arts progress these days? How much Qi and Blood do you have now?"
