I, the public enemy

Chapter 9 The Void Realm

After finishing morning self-study.

The first lesson was on psionic industry.

The total score for the college entrance examination is 750.

Overall cultivation level, assessment and rating, the mechanical puppet's practical combat accounts for 200 points.

The Psionic Industry course accounts for 150 points.

Analysis of Taoist cultivation methods, basic knowledge and theory, fundamental principles of alchemy, artifacts, talismans, formations, etc., accounting for 100 points.

Martial arts, magic, and Daoist mind are each worth 100 points.

While it may seem that the requirements for cultivation level are not high, anyone who hasn't reached the fourth level of the mid-stage Qi Refining realm will be easily defeated by the testing puppet.

Last year, the admission score for Gray Core City, commonly known as Gray University, was 701 points, making it one of the top five universities in Cangzhou.

This means that you must be perfect in every subject and then not get crushed in real exams for even a minute in order to pass.

Although the Psionic Industry course is a theoretical course, it is of paramount importance. While its priority is lower than practical application, it is fundamental to the development of current mobile shelters.

This subject also has a special high school league every year, and those who achieve excellent results can even be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam.

Teaching building.

Inside the multimedia classroom of Class 3, Grade 12.

Wang Qing possesses the ability to remember everything he sees and multitask. The so-called psionic industry course was just something he had to memorize by rote in high school.

I've already memorized it.

So yesterday, Wang Qing also learned some vocabulary related to terms like "ROOT".

High school only covers the most basics: general knowledge and structure of psionic prosthetics, basic code for the control program of psionic machines, and so on.

Compared to someone like Mo Zhenxiong who is well-connected in the underworld, they are worlds apart.

The instructor for the psionic industry class was an old, bespectacled scholar who used a PowerPoint presentation to explain the neural command code of the prosthetic arm in the mainstream operating system.

The problem is that the so-called mainstream operating systems in textbooks are already far behind the times, and those monopolistic prosthetic giants have an extremely high level of technological secrecy.

It's just to show students the basic structure.

Wang Qing only attends class to maintain his attendance rate, but he still sits at the back of the classroom and continues to entertain himself online.

tonight.

He won't go to the trading site.

But in the end, he will still go.

Wang Qing knew that the essence of cultivators he extracted was extremely pure, with impurities controlled to below 1%.

Things refined by humans are naturally meant to be used as ingredients in heretical elixirs such as "Longevity Elixir" and "Soul Elixir".

The medicinal guide is the most crucial part that determines the overall strength of the elixir.

He didn't really know how high the average purity was in the makeshift hospital. If it was higher than his, then he would pretend he hadn't said anything.

The broker for the anonymous pharmaceutical company is named Xiao Su.

Xiao Su might detain Yuan Jingang and his men, looking for the "cook".

Yuan Jingang was an amateur and didn't understand the dangers of tonight.

If Yuan Jingang can get through this ordeal, then he will be of great use.

Liu Ziwen seemed to have become attached to Wang Qing, and at this moment he also came over and sat down with him.

When Liu Ziwen discovered what he was playing, his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

"Dude, are you that explosive?"

Liu Ziwen kindly reminded him that the so-called imaginary rival only existed in his mind for a few minutes before he instantly sobered up. "Who the hell am I? Women are everywhere! The only way is to improve my cultivation! Awake, I'll wield the power to kill! Drunk, I'll rest my head on a beauty's lap!"

"Um."

Wang Qing knew, of course, that he had lost more than 7,000 yuan in the past two days, but he was slowly recovering his losses today. The special administrative region of Leizhou was quite reliable, and the money he won could be withdrawn very smoothly.

"You knowingly committed a crime, didn't you? First this thing, then the loan, then the underground boxing ring, then the Dragon Tiger case, look at that guy."

Liu Ziwen glanced at the people in the second-to-last row by the window in the classroom and gestured for Wang Qing to look over.

Wang Qing felt it was necessary to understand what these young people were doing all day long. He looked over there and saw a boy with bruises all over his face and bloodshot eyes.

"I reckon that guy's about to collapse. His contacts have been leaked to the school, so he's going to have to go fight in underground boxing rings."

Liu Ziwen took a deep breath.

The reason why the hierarchy of contempt is so deeply ingrained in high schools is that many people who cannot afford the high tuition fees and various resources but still want to spend a fortune to buy their future end up like this, and they are not worth associating with at all.

"An underground boxing ring?"

Wang Qing knew about it from the original owner's memories, but the original owner didn't have much contact with it.

"Yes, for ordinary families like ours, the sunk cost of cultivating immortality is too high, and many people go completely mad. You know there are those sports betting competitions, right? But those are legitimate, no one dies, and they're all athletes with certificates, and they have to pay taxes."

But underground boxing rings are different. The rich are desensitized to those magical duels; instead, they enjoy watching Qi Refining Realm cultivators brutally fight each other, especially students. I guess those people just like that... the cheap, ruthless kind of fighting between the lower classes. It's really damn good.

Although the influence of An Zhi yesterday temporarily freed Liu Ziwen from his binary thinking, he was still obsessed with Taoism and his soul was still bound to it.

Wang Qing nodded, somewhat admiring the original owner of this body. The original owner's leveling up was too fast, going directly from online loans to being tainted by the demonic path, all in one step, without the intermediate process of underground boxing rings. He was truly a young hero.

He only respects the strong.

Since that's the case, in exchange for possession, let your name resound throughout the makeshift hospital.

"Are you scared?"

Liu Ziwen clicked his tongue. He only spent money according to his parents' plan, so he couldn't keep up with the final sprint of his senior year. He was still at the third level of Qi Refining, with no sign of a breakthrough. The middle of the year would be a big hurdle.

"What if they're exceptional individuals who go to the boxing ring to earn money?"

Wang Qing can no longer freely use his divine sense, but he can tell from his naked eye that the guy is the ultimate loser, at the second level of Qi Refining, just like the original owner of this body before. He must be under immense pressure now, so he has no choice but to choose this path.

"Godf***ing money-making schemes are all pre-planned. I've heard that there are not only ordinary battles, but also deathmatches where you can earn even more, starting with a 500,000-dollar prize."

When things got really exciting, Liu Ziwen got a little hot-tempered and clenched his fists.

"A death match? No way."

Wang Qing believes that the legal system in the makeshift hospitals still has some binding force. At least the ordinary people here are doing better than the people in the original cultivation world. In fact, it's not that they're doing too well.

It can be said to be a side benefit of the psionic industry, but this fact cannot be completely denied.

"You're too naive! To circumvent the law, those underground boxing rings will have their fighters sign contracts with pharmaceutical companies or martial arts development companies to test drugs or techniques. This isn't fighting; it's just testing how well the drugs or techniques can work in a fight. If they die, it's purely a technical accident, and they'll just pay a sum of money. Compared to the money rich people gamble here, it's just a drop in the ocean."

Liu Ziwen said this.

"Hmm, the makeshift hospital isn't exactly full of positive energy. I'll have to keep a close eye on you."

Wang Qing still doesn't forget to use currently popular memes.

"So stop doing all this and just uninstall it."

Liu Ziwen saw that Wang Qing was playing around during class, so he must have become a little obsessed.

"Shine my shoes."

Wang Qing played a round of Texas Hold'em and won 1200 yuan, which he then smoothly withdrew. He showed the phone screen to Liu Ziwen.

"I'm really impressed with you, buddy."

Liu Ziwen slapped his forehead, thinking that Wang Qing was a bit brain-dead. If he couldn't be persuaded even by talking to him like this, then there was really nothing he could do.

The psionic industry course is halfway through.

The homeroom teacher of Class 3, Grade 12, came to the classroom door and asked the teacher to stop teaching for a moment.

"Tomorrow, the senior students of the school will be organizing a visit to [Mercury Heavy Industry]. This is to let you know in advance. Also, there will be a friendly match with other universities in the [Virtual Realm]."

The homeroom teacher offered this reminder.

"Mercury Heavy Industries?"

Wang Qing didn't quite understand.

"Damn! It's a giant company that develops immortal armor and remote-controlled puppets. Every year, they donate money to various high schools to cultivate talents who excel in the [Virtual World]."

Liu Ziwen realized that his chance to rise to the top had arrived.

Wang Qing searched for the original body's memories. [Virtual Realm] is a virtual reality combat game and a very popular online game.

The game has many modes, including the Knife Room mode.

Players can choose various combinations of techniques to engage in battles in a virtual reality environment.

"I see... They're training highly skilled puppeteers."

Wang Qing immediately understood that tomorrow's so-called friendly match might determine the percentage of Mercury Heavy Industry's donations to each school.

As for fighting against foreign enemies, Wang Qing considered whether or not to participate in a friendly match. Yuan Yue's high attendance rate kept him under control, leaving him no time to do anything else.

This matter can be used to gain some special privileges for oneself.

"Those with the [Void Realm] talent can take leave today, and their attendance will be counted as normal."

The homeroom teacher didn't have high hopes. Every year, Yuanyue's performance in the friendly matches was mediocre. Moreover, Class 3 wasn't a model class; they were all just average students.
