Cosmic Demon

Chapter 116 Who says there are no geniuses in the Hongzhi class? Who says there are only outstanding people in the elite class? (Second update!)

"Atomic Energy Corporation..."

Qin Shi kept it in mind, thinking of going online to check it out some other day using his newly enhanced citizen privileges.

He smiled, put away the business card, pushed the door and got out of the car.

An Jingchu's black elegant car is low-key and luxurious, attracting a lot of attention.

This naturally includes Zhou Ning.

"What a beast! Could it be that Lao Qin has gone to the White Horse Club for further studies?"

I saw my good brother getting out of a luxury car worth tens of millions, and the driver was a tall, short-haired lady.

As soon as Yafeng started to leave, he immediately pounced on Qin Shi and tried to strangle him by the neck and "torture him severely".

Feeling someone approaching quickly, Qin Shi subconsciously turned his head and elbowed him. Fortunately, he withdrew his strength quickly, otherwise Zhou Ning would have been knocked to the ground on the spot.

"Hey hey hey hey! I was wrong, I was wrong, godfather! Please let me go!"

Qin Shi loosened his grip, freeing Zhou Ning's arm that was bent behind his back, and said:
"I've told you many times, Xiao Zhou. It's easy to suffer a loss if you attack a martial arts practitioner by surprise."

"Who is this again? You are getting more and more outrageous! Last time, Teacher Lin drove the Conqueror of the Vast Sea, and this short-haired lady directly messed with Yafeng Junyan! Lao Qin, listen to my advice, the world is dangerous, it is not easy to go into the sea, you must stick to the bottom line!"

Zhou Ning was deeply distressed and warned his best friend, then changed the subject and asked:
"Do you know any rich ladies? Let me introduce them to you. Maybe they would like a tall, strong, upright and durable man like me! I am willing to share your burden! We will be good brothers for life and share the joys and sorrows together!"

"Keep eating the fitness meals my buddy makes every day, and do some physical exercises. It won't be a problem to increase your vitality to 10 points in a month, and then you can pass the dan test. You can't grasp the rich women, so be careful of the happy steel wool!"

Qin Shi ignored the funny Zhou Ning. This guy had been taking the Nine Dragons potion for a long time and almost turned into a biochemical superman with a pointy head. Fortunately, he had some drug resistance and was sent to the hospital in time. After recuperation, he did not have any problems.

"I'm training hard according to the plan you set. Every day, I do the three major exercises with Brother Yuan and Brother Cheng. Look at my muscles, they are even stronger than before!"

Zhou Ning enjoys being the center of attention, and when he does back-stretching movements, his big, clearly defined muscles make him look quite realistic at first glance.

"You're right, Xiao Zhou. I think you have a talent for fitness. If you keep going, you'll be better off than using connections to become a 'section-level cadre' in the security department."

Qin Shi took a look at him, not sure whether it was because the fitness meal was too effective or because of Zhou Ning's hard work.

After most of the summer vacation, Xiao Zhou's body strength has been significantly improved, and his vitality is surging, showing a bursting momentum.

"Oh, Lao Qin, what do you think? Tell me!
I think as long as I persevere and build the ultimate muscles, maybe I can become a fitness influencer in the future and sell protein powder!"

Zhou Ning rubbed his hands, his eyes full of anticipation.

Qin Shi poured cold water on him expressionlessly:

"I'm saying that you should train yourself up, take the teacher qualification exam, go back to Jiuchang Street to take over Lao Liang's class, and be a physical education teacher with peace of mind."

Zhou Ning was speechless and shook his head repeatedly:
"Schools for children of wealthy families are about to be closed down, so there are no permanent positions left. Besides, look at me, Lao Liang has been working for so long, but he hasn't saved any money... He hasn't even started a family! My parents are counting on me to carry on the family line, find a wife and have grandchildren!"

Haha, Xiao Zhou, you will be obedient after you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in betrothal gifts to buy an unfinished house and have a third child.

Qin Shi looked up and walked into the New No. 1 Middle School. The school gate stood tall and the place was quite spacious. The students coming and going were bathed in the morning light, exuding high-spirited vigor and vitality.

"Lao Qin, the roll call will be held later, which is a vitality test. You have made such great progress, Brother Qian will definitely praise you! Maybe he will even let you go on stage to give a speech!"

Zhou Ning chuckled, he couldn't wait to see his best friend show off on stage.

Regardless of whether it is the elite class or the Hongzhi class, the first thing to do at the beginning of each school year is to test the vitality and compare the physical data before the holiday to determine whether the students are diligent.

This is more effective and intuitive than any summer homework.

Because the data is here, vitality will not lie.

Students who have made the greatest progress and achieved the best results will also have the opportunity to speak at the opening ceremony.

"There's no reward for this kind of thing, it just makes you stand out, it's boring. Xiao Zhou, you should know how to hide your abilities and wait for the right time to act. What's the point of going to the fish pond to fry fish?"

Qin Shi used the most humble tone and spoke the most arrogant words.

Think of the Hongzhi class as a fish pond.

"There are still a few tough guys in the elite class, Lao Qin, don't underestimate them! I've asked around in the class communication group for you. Xu Mo and Zhao Yunzhu have been selected for some talent development project and will receive a lot of resources. Their vitality will increase significantly."

Zhou Ning is known as the know-it-all of Xinyi Middle School and a cyber socialite. With his rich experience in sharing resources with male classmates and chatting about star chasing with female classmates, he has collected all kinds of information.

"There is also Zheng Yun, who is ranked first in the grade. It is said that his family arranged for him to go to Jingzhou's dojo to practice for a period of time. He has made great progress!"

Qin Shi clicked his tongue twice. Hengzhou is currently closed to the outside world, but you can still take a spaceship to Jingzhou.

The family background of this top student in the grade is indeed very strong.

"Jingzhou, Dojo... When Lao Liang was young, he seemed to have studied martial arts in Jingzhou."

Qin Shi was thinking about it when he entered the classroom. Many classmates had already arrived.

After a long summer vacation, everyone was very enthusiastic about communication and shared interesting experiences with each other.

"Last month, I went on a road trip with my brother and went to Zhoucheng to catch crabs. They were so big that I caught a bucket full of them!"

"I was watching the video and saw the fishman in Zhoucheng. Is it true? The upper body looks like a human, and the lower body has a tail. It can eat people."

"It must be fake. The relevant departments have refuted the rumor. The video was synthesized in post-production. Some internet celebrities deliberately attracted attention and created hype..."

Qin Shi and Zhou Ning sat in the window seats in the last row. The former couldn't help feeling dazed as he listened to his classmates' rich lives.

These carefree campus days seem a bit far away from me.

All he thought about was the old martial arts school sweeping the new martial arts school and defeating the Qi Guangheng martial arts school...

Liu Yue, the study committee member, held the notebook and asked people to sign one by one.

She had short hair with bangs, and a youthful, sweet smile. She leaned over to Qin Shi's desk and asked:
"Qin Shi, what did you do during your summer vacation?"

Qin Shi took the pen and filled in his name:
"I work as a waiter in gyms, youth centers, and other entertainment venues. I get a lot of tips."

He said this with a smile, calmly and without any intention of hiding anything.

"That's amazing! I also want to work during the summer vacation, but my mom doesn't want me to. She insists that I take extra classes."

Liu Yue held the notebook in both hands without blinking.

She felt that after the summer vacation, Qin Shi looked better than before, his smile was brighter, and his speech was more steady.

Zhou Ning joined in the fun and teased deliberately:
"Study Committee Member, why are you only asking Lao Qin and treating me like air? I'm also working a summer job..."

Liu Yue swung her ponytail and slammed the notebook and pen onto the table:
"Zhou Ning, you are so fat, you should do more work and lose some weight!"

fat?
Zhou Ning's defense was broken in an instant. As a fitness man, he couldn't stand it and argued:

"I'm really strong! Look at these biceps and arm circumference! Don't leave! Take a look... I'm really strong!"

Liu Yue rolled her eyes. At her age, she could only admire boys with thin muscles.

Zhou Ning's fat-packed muscles are no different from those of a big bear.

"You little girl! You have no aesthetic taste!"

Zhou Ning was indignant and said:
"Lao Qin, you practice every day, and your muscle lines are well-proportioned, not exaggerated at all."

Qin Shi smiled. On the one hand, it was because the old martial arts emphasized muscles and bones, and all the training was inside;
On the other hand, it also has the characteristic of [overgrowth], so high-calorie nutritious food can be consumed every day and still be perfectly digested and absorbed.

"Brother Qian is here."

As the clock moved towards half past nine, the noisy classroom suddenly became quiet, and a middle-aged young man with thick eyebrows walked in.

The teachers in the Hongzhi class are generally young, and those with more experience are more willing to teach the elite class.

For first-class universities, teachers are considered resources for students.

But in slightly inferior schools, the situation is reversed, and students are the teachers' connections.

The students in the elite class come from outstanding families and have excellent conditions. If you teach the class, you will inevitably come into contact with their parents.

You never know when this relationship might come in handy.

The Hongzhi class is the opposite. The students are relatively ordinary, their grades improve slowly, and it is a thankless job with a lot of effort.

It's considered a "hard job".

So the responsibility falls on the new teacher's shoulders.

"Summer vacation is over, everyone should concentrate and get back to studying as soon as possible! This year is the last time of your high school career, you should cherish the friendship with your classmates and seize the opportunity to study..."

Brother Qian started with a big bowl of hot chicken soup for the soul. He spoke for a full ten minutes before he ended his speech:

"It's the same as usual at the beginning of the school year. According to your class ranking, each of you will be tested for vitality to see whether you have been standing still during the summer vacation or working hard."

Qin Shi and Zhou Ning were arranged in the middle of the group and set off with the main force.

The classroom where they have classes is located in the "Mingde Building".

The vitality detection equipment is located in the "Duxing Building".

When they got there, Qin Shi looked at the students from the elite class who were lined up in a long queue.

Compared to the Hongzhi class, they were obviously more relaxed and were discussing the excitement of the summer vacation.

"The training halls in Xiji District are really expensive! Those professional coaches all start at five figures, which is totally unaffordable! I can only take part in the public classes occasionally!"

"My dad signed me up for fighting classes, physical fitness classes, and nutrition classes. They're open seven days a week, and it's more tiring than going to school!"

"Has your vitality increased? Is it effective?"

"Not bad, it barely rose by more than two points, just above the 18 point line..."

In contrast, everyone in the Hongzhi class was very nervous.

After all, who is not afraid of exams? It is not so easy to increase vitality. You need to eat well, drink well and exercise diligently for several months to gather a little bit.

This is still the golden period of young people's life, full of vitality.

When people reach middle age, their physical strength declines, their vitality starts to slip away, and they even begin to decline.

You will completely lose the opportunity to make progress.

This is the law of nature.

The way of martial artists is to strengthen their bodies and promote the vigorous release of vitality.

This will nourish a strong physique that can resist power armor and steel torrents.

Only when you go far enough and your vitality is integrated into your flesh and blood, will you no longer have such worries.

Zhou Ning asked in a low voice:

"Old Qin, are you sure you can get first place? Stand out from the crowd!"

Qin Shi thought seriously, then shook his head:

"Being the top student in the grade is a bit exaggerated. I don't think I can succeed. I have only been learning old martial arts for a short time. How can I catch up with others who have spent three to five years to lay a solid foundation and consolidate their basics?"

He figured that Zheng Yun must be around 40 points, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep his position as the top student in the grade.

It might take me another half a month to catch up.

"Lao Qin, you are getting more and more arrogant! You are even coveting the first place in the grade! I'm talking about our class!"

The corner of Zhou Ning's mouth twitched. His best friend was too arrogant. He didn't take any of the elite class students other than Zheng Yun seriously at all!
If he could read the heart, he would know.

Qin Shi did not take Zheng, the top student in the grade, seriously, and thought he could surpass him in half a month.

"Old Qin, what do you think will happen later? The elite class will look down on us and step on our Hongzhi class, which will then lead to a class conflict. Then you will stand up and sweep all directions, forcing the elite class to not dare to say a word!"

Zhou Ning was extremely impatient and desperately hoped that there would be some twists and turns on the first day of school so that he could set the stage for his best friend.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Hongzhi class was originally there to provide cushions for the elite class. When we go to the cafeteria to get food, the dining areas are different. Do you understand the score segregation?"

Qin Shi smiled.

In the schools in Tai'an metropolitan area, there is no such thing as equality for all. All that matters is scores and admission rates.

Poor students can barely retain the right to breathe, but they can forget about “human rights”.

"It seems so."

Zhou Ning realized later that in his three years of high school, he had never eaten at the same table with any student from the elite class.

hateful!

"Lao Qin, I've decided. I want to be promoted to the elite class! Then I'll run back to the Hongzhi class to eat and be the first person to break the rules!"

Zhou Ning straightened his chest and showed a determined look.

"The requirements for the elite class are not high. There are small tests every month. You just need to break ten points in vitality."

Qin Shi nodded. With his muscle-building fitness meals and the exercise plan he had developed, it would not be difficult to gain weight as long as Zhou Ning followed it strictly.

The early vitality is like the growth of a tree. If there is enough nutrition, it will grow tall.

But as the vigorous vitality fades, it will reach a bottleneck and need to be stimulated again.

To Zhou Ning's disappointment, the process of testing vitality was very smooth and uneventful.

This is the process every year when school starts. Everyone wants to finish it quickly and end it as soon as possible.

Only when one is full will he stir up trouble and cause chaos.

By 10:40, the students in the two elite classes had finished the test, with an average time of around 20.

If the senior year of high school goes well, most people should be able to reach 15:00 before the college entrance examination.

Although there is still a big gap between it and the top universities, there are many second-rate options.

"I just saw Qin Shi."

Zhao Yunzhu did not leave, but held Xu Mo and said:

"He's also coming for a vitality test, guess what it is."

Xu Mogang won the top three in the class and was in a good mood.

Zheng Yun hasn't come back yet, so the shadow hanging over him has eased a little.

He looked at the tall and handsome young man who stood out in the crowd and frowned:

"He is very energetic and seems to have a lot of vitality. I think he should have broken 10 points, which is above the average line of Hongzhi Class."

Zhao Yunzhu looked surprised:
"Could it be possible that he has the strength of an elite class?"

Xu Mo's expression was very casual. He didn't take the ten points of vitality seriously at all, and he couldn't even call him a competitor.

"I just asked a few people, and they all said that he is usually very hardworking, but his family is poor and he was born in Old Factory Street, so he can't give much support."

Zhao Yunzhu sighed:

"What a pity! This is the most feared thing for any extraordinary path. It's not that there is no talent, but it's just that there is a lack of conditions and environment to get on the right track."

Xu Mo stood in the corridor with his hands in his pockets. No one approached him and Zhao Yunzhu.

Those students in the Hongzhi class seemed to be automatically isolated, forming clearly defined circles.

This top student in the elite class said with a condescending attitude:
"Life is often so cruel, and many things are destined from the beginning. It seems that the gap between the elite class and the Hongzhi class is not just a gap in grades or learning talent, but a gap in all aspects.

If they want to break away from the Hongzhi class, catch up with the students in the elite class, or even be on par with us, it is not enough for them to just work hard on their own, but it will take the hard work of several generations..."

Zhao Yunzhu agreed with this statement and was about to agree with it, but she heard a burst of noise in the closed vitality detection room, like an exclamation.

She frowned slightly and thought:
"Could it be that Qin Shi has made great progress? Over 15 points? Compared to his past performance, this is indeed a big leap! He can already be admitted to the elite class!"

Xu Mo remained calm and composed. He was waiting here just to accompany Zhao Yunzhu and wait for an answer without any suspense.

How can students in the Hongzhi class get access to the Education Commission’s talent development projects?
There is no way he could surpass me, or even leave Lu Hui behind!
A few minutes later, the door of the testing room was pushed open.

Brother Qian, the class teacher, grinned as if he had won the lottery and couldn't suppress it at all.

He looked at Qin Shi next to him with eyes full of eagerness and affection, treating him as a treasure.

"Classmates! You must learn a lot from Qin Shi! Please teach me how to do it!

Just now, Qin Shi set a new record for unprecedented growth in Xinyi Middle School!

Before the summer vacation, his vitality test result was eight points. After the summer vacation, the number reached an astonishing thirty-four points!
I believe that this will be an unbreakable record in my future coaching career..."

Brother Qian talked incessantly, giving inspirational speeches and famous quotes in public. His face was flushed with excitement and he felt his body temperature had risen by several degrees.

"Lao Qin! Invincible!"

Zhou Ning played a role and took the lead in applauding, almost wanting to raise his hands to applaud.

The rest of the classmates were stunned, as if their brains had crashed and they were unable to respond.

Because thirty-four points of vitality is too unfamiliar a number.

It's like a poor employee with a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan, who completely loses his mind when he learns that his colleague earns 30 million yuan.

The most shocking background in the corridor was Xu Mo.

He widened his eyes, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and looked at Zhao Yunzhu to confirm:
"Thirty-four points? Did Teacher Qian just say that Qin Shi's vitality reached thirty-four points?"

Zhao Yunzhu also felt it was outrageous, especially Qin Shi’s score of eight points before the summer vacation, compared with the huge increase of thirty-four points, it was full of unreality.

She was silent and speechless.

Xu Mo couldn't help but break his own "circle" and walked to the "territory" of Hongzhi class, and asked politely:
"Teacher Qian, has Qin's vitality really reached thirty-four points?"

Brother Qian, the class teacher, was busy making soup when he was suddenly interrupted, which made him feel a little unhappy.

Hearing such doubts again, his face instantly turned cold and hard, and he said in a deep voice:
"Student, are you questioning my cheating? Are students in the elite class so reckless? I think I need to report this to your teacher, Mr. Wu."

Xu Mo regretted the moment he said this. No matter how outstanding he was, he was still a student.

In the small society of school, you are naturally inferior to the teachers.

"You can go in now and ask Mr. Zhou who did the test in person whether the result is correct and true."

Brother Qian was very unhappy and taught him a lesson:

"Don't think it's natural that the students in the Hongzhi class are worse than you!

Looking back in history, there were many martial gods who came from humble beginnings! It’s time to broaden your horizons! "

Xu Mo lowered his head like a quail.

Then, as if unwilling to give up, he looked up at Qin Shi:
"Student Qin, the person who lives on the seventeenth floor of the Talent Apartment is you, right?

Also, it was you who broke the record in Lu Hui's training room, right?"

Lu Hui?

Who?
Qin Shi, who kept a low profile, had question marks in his head.
