After seeing the camp leader, getting the registration done, and informed of their room numbers, they came to their respective rooms.
Ling Jiu’s room was No. 308. The door was opened when he arrived. As he entered, he saw that the room was built with a special alloy, of which the tables, chairs and beds also made.
The room, measured about 40 m2, contained two empty alloy beds.
“What a shabby place!”
Ling Jiu mumbled to himself. There was no comparison between this room and his maglev airship, not to mention his company mansion.
He could not believe that this was the accommodation the Super Training Camp provided for a genius like him.
While Ling Jiu grumbled quietly, a handsome teenager emerged from the bathroom with a basin in his hands, seemingly wanting to clean the bed.
“So you are my roommate, eh?”
The handsome teenager said hello enthusiastically with a light in his eyes when he saw Ling Jiu.
“I stay in Room 308 too!”
Ling Jiu let out a smile. The teenager was wearing sunglasses. But by the looks of his face, he was pretty handsome.
“Hello, my name is Shi Gang. I am from Yangzhou Base City.” The handsome teenager self-introduced. “Nice to meet you!”
Ling Jiu let out a faint smile. “My name is Ling Jiu. I am from Lantian Base City.”
After exchanging some pleasantries with Shi Gang, he started to sort his stuff. He had not been sleeping ever since he had awakened his arcana. There was no need for a bedsheet and a blanket. All he needed was a towel, toothbrush, facial cleanser and other toiletries.
After sorting things out, it was already noon when Shi Gang invited Ling Jiu for lunch, and Ling Jiu did not decline.
But he also asked Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er to go along. The four of them came to the canteen where they met the other trainees.
Most of them were of their age and of different skin colors: yellow, white, black and brown.
Ling Jiu even saw some Japanese.
Japanese?
Ling Jiu was transfixed as a story about Japan he had read online came to mind.
30 years ago, during the invasion of Direbeasts, there was a dimensional fissure appeared in Japan. This had caused the Direbeasts in and around Japanese islands to evolve rapidly.
At last, most Japanese had either died, fled, or migrated.
Japan had disappeared as a nation in less than ten years. Only a small number of Japanese who had fled to the other parts of the world survived.
Seeing Japanese here surprised him.
...
A day had passed since then.
The next morning.
The rushing sound of the siren resonated throughout the fortress, followed by a voice speaking through a megaphone. “All trainees are required to assemble in the square immediately!”
“The assembly!”
“Quick! Go now!”
It did not take long before all trainees had left their hostels and come to the square.
The fortress was in the shape of a hollow cylinder with hostels, canteen and other structures surrounding a large and empty square in the center.
This was the square where they had assembled.
Everyone was standing in the middle of the square. Other than the camp leader and Jing Biao, many others had a horrifying aura in them.
“Time for a roll call!”
After that, the camp leader gave a speech.
The camp leader was a spirited, gray-haired old man. He wore a military uniform, stood with his back strengthened like a flagpole on the spot, and an aura of determination and bravery.
“You all are the top geniuses from around the world, the best of the best from your respective base cities. I am glad to see you all!”
The camp leader suddenly changed his tone. “But I want to tell you all, you are nothing here. Because everyone else in the training camp is stronger than all of you.
“So, you all must not slacken. Only by hard work and stretching yourselves to the last drop of your potential, you could enjoy the best benefit and resources! Next, I am going to set up a leaderboard for you all!”
The camp leader pointed at the giant screen erected in the center of the square.
“The higher the position you are on the leaderboard, the better the benefit you will enjoy as it proves how much hard work and effort you have put in.”
The two hundred trainees looked up at the giant screen in the middle of the square. Right now, there was not a name displayed on the leaderboard.
“The leaderboard will be updated once a week. Those who are ranked at the top will receive handsome rewards.
“Those in the top thirty will receive a beginner-grade vitality-enhancement fluid and a beginner-grade Gene Arcana enhancement fluid.
“Those in the top ten will receive an intermediate vitality-enhancement fluid and an intermediate Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid.
“Those in the top three will receive an advanced vitality-enhancement fluid and an advanced Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid.”
“What?”
Everyone was stunned at hearing that.
The vitality-enhancement fluid could enhance stamina, vitality, and body cells. It was definitely a precious potion in enhancing physical strength.
The Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid could boost Gene Arcana and increase internal strength. It functioned much like the Snowdragon Bile.
Like all treasures of heaven and earth and Gene potions, these two Gene potions could not be bought with money. They were of special items, only exchangeable with contribution points. Their ‘prices’ were:
Beginner vitality-enhancement fluid (Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid): 5 contribution points.
Intermediate vitality-enhancement fluid (Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid): 50 contribution points.
Advanced vitality-enhancement fluid (Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid): 500 contribution points.
There were vast differences in prices between the beginner, intermediate, and advanced vitality-enhancement fluids (Gene Arcana-enhancement fluids).
In fact, the efficacies of these different grades of vitality-enhancement fluids (Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid) differed vastly.
But all these were given as rewards to the trainees. That showed how generous the training camp was.
‘How fast my self-cultivation will improve if I get an advanced vitality-enhancement fluid and an advanced Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid every week?’
Ling Jiu thought. In fact, everyone shared the same thought.
“The higher the score, the better the benefit!”
“This is just part of it!”
The camp leader continued. “The higher your ranking is, the better environment of self-cultivation you will get! You may not know that the dimensional fissure is right under our feet. An endless stream of Gene Arcana is leaking out of it constantly.”
“What?”
“The dimensional fissure is right under our feet?”
