172: Priority

"Your current Life Strength is only just Rank 11, right?"

Xie Miao took a small sip of hot tea, blinked, and returned to the main topic.

"The Life Strength Rank range for the low-danger zone is Rank 10 to 14.9."

"We have considered the potential factor that if you reach Rank 15 inside, you might be severely weakened afterward."

"So, we plan to let you enter when you are at Rank 14.5."

"This Rank offers the highest fault tolerance."

"By then, your Mental Energy will also be higher than it is now, and the weakening you experience will be less than 25%."

"Additionally, if there really is any danger inside, for any other people who might be present, or for the native creatures inside..."

"They should also be subject to the same suppression; in that regard, everyone is on equal footing."

"Other people who might be present?"

Chen Du asked, feeling puzzled. He could understand the presence of native creatures, but what did she mean by 'other people'?

Wasn't it said before that only one person could enter through an entrance?

Xie Miao explained:

"It's like this, Chen Du."

"Although only one person can enter through a single entrance, we cannot guarantee that the Big Eye Civilization's entrance is the only one."

"After all, we must also take unknown risks into account."

"Everyone has family and friends, and we only have one life; we cannot be careless!"

"Since you are the ones going on an adventure, we in logistics providing support naturally want to maximize your survival probability."

"Your current Life Strength Rank is still too low."

"This is also one of the reasons why Principal Pang initially intended to tell you about this matter only after the Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition."

Chen Du nodded, indicating he understood.

He immediately rubbed his head, revealing a somewhat shy and bashful expression.

"Is that so."

"Then, could this 'survival probability' be made a bit more 'concrete'?"

Chen Du was now the one providing help, so naturally, he could ask for something in return.

"Ahem..."

Upon hearing this, Principal Pang's old face suddenly flushed red, and he continued:

"Chen Du, High Martial Civilization is not as wealthy as you think."

"To put it bluntly, we are even struggling to make ends meet."

"I am not lying to you about this; you can analyze it from the year-by-year increase in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination cutoff scores."

"I am not a person who likes to make empty promises."

"Your proposal is very reasonable; after all, that is a place that has never been developed before."

"Even if we are fully prepared, we will still encounter unknown problems."

After a tactical pause, he continued:

"How about this, Chen Du: in addition to what I said before regarding you handing over the leather."

"I will give you 10,000 points! Plus, after entering Sifang Cave, if there are really any resources or treasures inside."

"If those resources are suitable for you, you will have the highest priority, even higher than an Advanced Aerial Warrior!"

"We will cultivate you to the greatest extent!"

Damn!

Chen Du cursed inwardly. He had just said he wasn't someone who liked making empty promises.

And in the next turn, he was shoving a huge empty promise right into his mouth!

However, what Pang Tian Ce said was indeed correct.

The admission cutoff scores for the High Martial Civilization's National Higher Education Entrance Examination were indeed rising year by year.

This meant that resources were limited, and they could only raise the threshold to give the limited resources to the most outstanding people possible.

Fine, 10,000 points it is.

This was still a generous amount of resources, and it could be exchanged for many things.

"No problem."

Chen Du didn't hesitate and agreed straightforwardly.

After all, the High Martial Civilization wasn't that wealthy; if he kept asking for more, what would that look like?

Moreover, this mission had its own perks, it was just that no one could talk about them.

If there were really a large amount of resources inside, who would know if he took a little, and who would investigate it?

It could be considered a hidden benefit.

"Well done!"

"You are worthy of being a stalwart, iron-boned man of our High Martial Civilization!"

"Unmoved by fame and fortune!"

Chen Du responded with a smile, while thinking to himself.

It's just because you can't afford to give more!

"Chen Du, let's add each other on V; I'll send you all four route maps, even though you are only going to the low-danger zone."

"But it's best to memorize all four route maps. Preparation shouldn't be just enough; it must exceed the requirements."

Kaladov raised his wristband and said seriously.

Chen Du naturally wouldn't refuse.

Afterward, the other two Vice-Principals also took the initiative to come forward and add Chen Du on V.

This surprised Chen Du a little.

Because he was simply not on the same level as the two of them.

If one were to say they were being enthusiastic, Chen Du thought the probability was low.

He could sense the personalities of Xie Miao and Kouban Nichiro.

They were clearly different from the personalities of Pang Tian Ce and Kaladov.

It wasn't to say they were heartless, but rather that they exuded more of a strictly business-like attitude.

To put it plainly, it was just politeness.

However, in an instant, Chen Du also understood that it was because he possessed value.

To look at it from a more positive perspective, it meant he had been recognized!

Beep!

The wristband vibrated, and four high-precision images appeared one after another.

What Kaladov said made a lot of sense; preparation shouldn't be just enough, it must exceed the requirements.

Chen Du would naturally observe these four route maps carefully and memorize them all after he returned.

That thing he initially thought was an egg was actually not an egg at all.

With the aid of a computer, the route map had been divided into four locations, and that so-called egg.

Had also been "cut in half with three slashes," divided equally into four parts.

The low-danger zone Chen Du was going to was the very bottom part of the "egg."

Judging from the route map, it looked like a front view of a stone disk, but this was just for reference to give him a general idea.

Only by seeing it with his own eyes would he know what the actual object was.

There really was no so-called egg-born alien race; he had just been overthinking it.

Chen Du murmured to himself.

"Chen Du, go and get a test report done now, then send the results to my V, and I will help you upgrade your contract to S-Rank."

"I promised you before that if you could really upgrade to an S-Rank contract based on your own strength, I could give you two supreme treasures."

"Rest assured, this will not change, but the necessary procedures must be completed first."

"The regular procedure you are following by completing the three major conditions this time is different from my previous proposal to upgrade to S-Rank."

"It doesn't require any voting; once you submit the Materials, I can approve it for you directly."

"As for those 10,000 points, they don't require documentation; I can approve them for you directly."

Afterward, there was no extra pleasantry, as everyone was quite busy.

After Chen Du left Martial Arts Room No. 1, he quickly booked the nearest technological medical room.

Technological Medical Room No. 108.

"Hello!"

"I need to do an age test, a Life Strength Rank test, and a Life Strength index test."

These were the three test contents Pang Tian Ce had sent to him on V.

As part of the contract upgrade, these were the required Materials.

Although it was approaching midnight, Qilin Martial Arts University was open 24 hours a day.

Since the staff were all Martial Artists, their physical fitness was very good, and they wouldn't experience low moods from staying up late.

"Okay, please follow me."

...

...

...

"Malfunction!"

"Sorry, Chen Du, this device hasn't been turned off for too long. Let me restart it and test you again!"

Chen Du was speechless upon hearing this; the line was exactly the same as Qiao Li's. One could tell immediately that they had undergone standardized pre-job training!

Finally, after some effort, he managed to get the three reports.

Chen Du couldn't wait to send the three images to Pang Tian Ce, and the other party replied very quickly.

It was an address and a short message.

【Pang Tian Ce (Qilin Vice-Principal): Tomorrow morning at 9:00 sharp, wait for me here.】

"Library?"

Chen Du murmured, looking at the address above.
