High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

The supply and demand relationship was on full display at this moment.

For a graduated soldier, gaining or losing a dozen or so points of health is just a matter of a few days. But for Chen Shi, who is currently in the Star Learning System, a dozen or so points of health will make him a little stronger than his peers, and the competition for other titles will be much easier.

As for the Dream Painting Palace Scroll (Ten Days), it is a treasure made by someone who possesses the divine internal skill "Yellow Millet Dream". It is a scroll that allows the user to enter the dream within the scroll, where there is a palace where one can train basic abilities for ten days, consuming one sleep session.

However, during those ten days, they cannot absorb the medicinal liquid; they can only practice basic abilities.

The price of the Dream Palace is also very high, usually fetching around 500,000 at auction, and Chen Shi is determined to get it.

Then he glanced at his savings of 540 million yuan and realized it didn't seem like much anymore.

So the next step is to figure out how to make money.

The number of challenges available to university students is more than double that of those available to junior high students, and there are no grade restrictions. Chen Shi will be able to participate after this summer vacation.

The difference between participating early and late lies in how long you can enjoy the title and prize money.

Chen Shichu won the title of "Peak of Excellence" twice, earning the title bonus for a year and a half longer than Xuexin, totaling nearly 18 yuan.

Therefore, the sooner you obtain the god-level title, the greater the benefits you will ultimately reap.

His first three targets have been set: the Fish King, the One with Immense Strength, and the Dark Light.

In the first semester of your first year of high school, you must obtain these three god-level titles, which correspond to three challenges: the fishing challenge, the logging challenge, and the mining challenge.

These three competitions actually correspond to three martial arts jobs: fishing master, carpenter, and miner at Sanyo.

The teacher's wife said that this was to implement the Emperor's educational policy. He was unable to teach everyone one-on-one, so he could only rely on this system to carry out compulsory education.

Do you crave honor? Do you desire wealth?

Okay, let's devise a game that will bring you honor and wealth. The content is very simple: go to the grassroots level, meet the grassroots martial artists, watch them work, learn their work methods, and finally help them with their work.

However, these things have both advantages and disadvantages.

It used to be okay, the rewards weren't great, so not many people went. But in recent years, the involvement of the Star Learning System has made it so that all players in the system will definitely participate in those challenge matches.

This caused trouble for many workers, firstly because these students were not good at their jobs either; most of them were lucky if they didn't cause any damage, let alone get good titles.

Secondly, many students who participated in the challenge carried a strong sense of superiority, or even discrimination, throughout their studies and work.

The workers were angry, but helpless, because they really couldn't afford to offend those so-called geniuses.

When Chen Shi saw this information, he felt anxious. He was afraid that he would be ostracized by the workers and that he would encounter various conflicts in the process of learning and working.

Because he had never faced such a group of people before, and humans are always anxious and uneasy when facing the unknown.

He hoped he could handle these matters well and began to study the work in advance.

The Fish King Challenge involves dissecting various fish after they are caught, then categorizing the different parts. There is no room for error, as the fish are transported basket by basket to a factory for processing, and different parts will yield different materials.

For example, if there are other parts in the basket of internal organs, the final processed product will definitely have problems. That's why the professional workers are annoyed, because they have to perform tedious inspections for so-called geniuses like Chen Shi.

Carpentry and mining require a high degree of precision and are mainly divided into three parts. One part is logging or mining, in which it is essential to control the degree of harvest. Whether it is a mineral vein or timber, it cannot be harvested all at once. Only a portion can be cut down. If too much is cut down, it will take a very long time for the rest to grow back, resulting in huge losses.

The second part is to extract tree sap or mineral sap, and to carefully distinguish the sap from the material itself.

Finally, the contestants have to process the food themselves, which is very physically demanding.

Whether it's the wood or the mineral veins that Chen Shi has to deal with, their hardness is astonishing. Although the human race can build automated processing lines, they don't do it and ultimately choose manual labor.

Three words.

Cost-effectiveness.

Automated production lines consume more resources than manual labor. Humans are creatures that can wake up full of energy after a good night's sleep, while machines require engines to drive them. That's why humans are sometimes referred to as nuclear-powered donkeys.

Currently, the main direction of human development is to be human-centered, provide all resources to humans, and use humans to create resources.

This sparked Chen Shi's curiosity about a certain issue.

Why don't humans make things like mechs?

Even Zhang Xuexin could answer this.

"Human history is not just three hundred years. Three hundred years ago, there were mechs and warships."

"But as it turns out, this approach is putting the cart before the horse."

"Mechs are powerful, but wouldn't it be even stronger if I raised a War God? A War God can dismantle a warship with his bare hands."

"Later, many scholars reached a consensus on the choices made in the old era: the leaders at that time were not foolish, but did it on purpose."

"Once you put on the mecha, even if you're just a martial artist, you can have the combat power of a martial master."

"But that's not something you actually own; it was lent to you by so-called higher-ups."

"It all comes down to those two words—control."

"In the old days, the higher-ups of the human race would keep power firmly in their own hands, so they weakened the power of humanity itself and emphasized the importance of external things. But those external things were actually under the control of the higher-ups. The ultimate control center of the mechs was in the hands of the higher-ups. You couldn't resist them and were suppressed by them."

Zhang Xuexin concluded, "That's why the Human Emperor is so revered. All his strategies have very clear logic, and the whole thing boils down to one sentence: 'I want to fully unleash the potential of human civilization.'"

"Human life is a miracle of nature. A strong person who can move mountains and fill seas can recover all their energy after a day of sleep after high-intensity work."

"Therefore, we must entrust everything to human beings themselves, and let them build their own homes and their own martial arts."
