After returning to the dormitory, Fang Zhou lay on the bed and opened his personal terminal.
He wanted to learn about the Simulation Battlefield and Professional Permissions.
The Simulation Battlefield, developed by the Sea City Military Academy to hone students’ real combat abilities, is a mirror space and a product of the combination of Professional Skills and Blue Star’s high technology, developed just a few years ago.
In the Simulation Battlefield, students can project their own attributes, skills, equipment, etc., one-to-one, and engage in battles with various Otherworld monsters under different battlefield environments.
Of course, opening the Simulation Battlefield requires massive resources. Students who want to hone themselves need to pay contribution points and there are daily entry limits.
To encourage students, the academy has set up various Easter eggs in the Simulation Battlefield, occasionally dropping rewards like contribution points, equipment, cultivation resources, and even skill books.
Each Simulation Battlefield also has its own first-time, speed ranking lists, with those ranked high receiving generous rewards.
Fang Zhou raised his eyebrows, becoming interested. Isn’t this just like a dungeon in online games?
He also searched for information on Professional Permissions.
The Human Alliance, based on the strength, ranks, and contributions of professionals to humanity, divides permissions into S, A, B, C, D, E, F levels.
For Fang Zhou and these newly awakened recruits, the permissions are naturally at the lowest F level.
The resources available for exchange are also scarce, only some apprentice-level skill books, subpar equipment, and so on.
However, as long as the permissions go up, rare materials like Soul Calming Potion, dedicated meditation rooms, and Otherworld Monster Crystal Cores can be exchanged.
Looking at the dazzling exchange list, Fang Zhou let out a soft breath and silently made up his mind.
In the next month, he must comprehensively increase his combat ability, strive to perform outstandingly in the Simulation Battlefield, and get the key training of Sea City Military Academy.
Progressing steadily, accumulating much before making a move has always been his rule of conduct.
The Skeleton Clone in the Undead Realm must naturally be submissive and prioritize stability in mortal combat.
However, in the academy’s rear, without the pressure of life and death, he should strike hard and advance bravely.
The peaceful days in the academy are only in the first one or two years; later, various real combat missions must be carried out.
In the limited safe time, the more resources he can strive for, the stronger he becomes, the greater the chance of surviving in future brutal battles.
...
In the afternoon, seventy percent of Combat Professional students went to the physical training class, while the other thirty percent of Magic Professionals and Support Professionals went to the Meditation class.
The Meditation class was in charge of a female instructor named Shen Hongyu, who claimed to be a Silver Lower Rank [Flame Mage].
What was more eye-catching was that Instructor Shen had mechanical prosthetics for legs, paired with a fiery red mage robe, creating a strong visual impact.
The Meditation Methods vary for each profession, and Shen Hongyu cannot provide specific guidance. Her main role is to maintain the [Concentration Array] and [Spiritual Perception Device] in the meditation classroom.
The [Concentration Array] is similar to the effect of Soothing Mushroom, both can reduce soul fatigue and extend meditation time.
The [Spiritual Perception Device] can scan and monitor the progress of the students’ meditation.
After all, the students are a bunch of rookies, and it is impossible to mobilize their Spiritual Power accurately and perfectly every time, so there is indeed a need for a teacher to be watching over.
In the quiet meditation classroom, Shen Hongyu glanced at the [Spiritual Perception Device], thinking, "As expected, rare professionals’ meditation efficiency is significantly faster than others."
Shen Hongyu saw that Bai Xiaochan, as a [Chanting String], had already visualized a small half of the qin body imagery in her mind.
At this rate, she should successfully reach the beginner level in less than two days.
On the other side, [Storm Mage] Gu Zhiqiu’s progress was even more exaggerated, having already visualized the crucial eye of the storm imagery.
Meanwhile, the majority of ordinary Magic Professionals and Support Professionals had only just begun to visualize the framework of the imagery, and it would take at least five to seven days to reach the beginner level.
Shen Hongyu felt emotional, recalling twenty years ago, it had taken her a full half-month to successfully reach the beginner level of the Meditation Method. At that time, this achievement was still leading among her peers.
The main reason, of course, lies in technological advancements, making student cultivation efficiency increasingly faster, with each generation surpassing the previous one. However, one cannot ignore the standout talents of Bai Xiaochan and Gu Zhiqiu.
Just after sighing, Shen Hongyu randomly glanced around and saw Fang Zhou in the corner pretending to meditate while actually controlling the Skeleton Clone, and her expression suddenly froze.
Holy crap, a fully formed Skeleton Imagery!
The Meditation Method has reached the beginner level already; what kind of monster is this?
While fighting monsters and grinding levels in the Burial Wilderness, Fang Zhou’s Soul Fire suddenly flickered as he sensed someone watching him.
He quickly thrust his spear to kill the skeleton in front of him, refocused his mind, and upon opening his eyes, saw Instructor Shen Hongyu staring at him in disbelief.
Has the progress of the Meditation Method been exposed?
As his thoughts flashed rapidly, Fang Zhou quickly understood.
But it’s not a big deal, didn’t the guide mention that the undead mage senior named Su Xinyan also reached the beginner level in just a day?
He is just a tiny bit more excellent; it should be acceptable, right?
So, Fang Zhou offered a polite smile, then closed his eyes and continued meditating.
Shen Hongyu silently withdrew her gaze, already extremely shocked in her heart.
"Is he the Fang Zhou that Lu Hu mentioned to Principal Su?
He reached the beginner level of the Meditation Method in less than a day without any resource assistance.
His talent is probably much more terrifying than Major Xinyan’s!"
Recalling Principal Su’s words last night, "What make does Fang Zhou have?", Shen Hongyu quietly swallowed a mouthful, subtly sensing a premonition.
Could this wave mean that Principal Su will be severely slapped in the face by Fang Zhou?
As the meditation class instructor, she has to accurately record the students’ results, hoping Principal Su will be prepared when he sees them.
After two hours passed, the meditation class concluded, and the [Concentration Array] automatically shut down.
Fang Zhou refocused on his main body, feeling delighted that the sense of spiritual fatigue was much weaker than usual.
The [Concentration Array] is really useful, but unfortunately, it can only be experienced for free during the meditation class, and other times require contribution points.
Then he looked at the afternoon’s gains from his Skeleton Clone grinding levels:
Main Body [Attributes]: Strength 1.3, Constitution 1.2, agility 1.2, Spirit 2.2
Clone [Attributes]: Strength 4, Constitution 3, agility 3, Spirit 2
[Soul Power]: 11
The Skeleton Essence provided by the newborn skeletons in the outskirts is getting fewer, and even the acquisition speed of Soul Power has greatly reduced.
Fang Zhou frowned slightly, decided to quickly choose some powerful skills for his clone to ensure he can crush opponents and move into the depths of the Burial Wilderness.
At this moment, Shen Hongyu lightly coughed, addressing the students below who were still eager: "Classmates, your performance was good, with an average beginner progress of one-sixth.
Students who are falling behind must hurry up; you can consult classmates Fang Zhou, Gu Zhiqiu, and Bai Xiaochan, who are progressing quickly."
Having said that, she glanced at Fang Zhou again and then turned to leave the classroom.
