24: The first place on both lists after entering the camp

"All of you, shut up for this old lady!"

Nightingale had initially wanted to see Yu Xiu's attitude, but he remained indifferent.

Losing her patience, and with the constant吵鬧 of students from both sides in her ears, Nightingale felt a surge of irritation and roared with a gloomy face.

"Continue onward!"

The entire place quieted down, and Nightingale, too lazy to linger, leaned languidly back in her seat.

About ten minutes later.

The military truck stopped in front of a giant iron gate. Nightingale and Cang Lang each showed their identification, and only then did the guard wave them through.

At this point, they were in the very center of the forest, the true Genius Training Camp, which already covered an area of over a thousand acres.

"Get out!"

Nightingale led Yu Xiu and the others into a three-story building.

On the first floor, they registered Yu Xiu and the others, and each person was issued a watch.

"I warn you, it's best not to lose or damage it. It's not only a symbol of your identity but also your wealth."

Nightingale said with a serious expression, "Let's take Yu Xiu as an example again. If he loses his watch, others can use it to spend freely, without any hindrance."

"Of course, watches will not be reissued. If someone picks it up or snatches it, you can go and demand it back. If the other party doesn't return it, then there's only one effective method."

The students listened very carefully, as this concerned their wealth.

Nightingale narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "That is to kill him, and then take it back."

Despite the fact that killing was permitted here, these students still couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Hehe!"

Nightingale sneered, then said, "Now I'll take you to the rankings."

Nightingale and Cang Lang led the way out.

Soon, they arrived at a plaza. It wasn't very large, but a stone tablet stood there, with two large, elegantly written characters: Live!

At the end of the plaza, however, was a ten-meter-wide screen, with many sections, including a points ranking, a strength ranking, and so on.

"These are the rankings of the Genius Training Camp. As you can see, the current top spot on the points ranking is Yu Xiu, with ten thousand points."

"As for why the strength ranking isn't Yu Xiu, you'll need to verify that yourselves."

Nightingale explained, "What I want to tell you now is that you should try your best to compete for the rankings, because those in the top ten on the rankings will receive daily point rewards."

"For example, if Yu Xiu is currently on the points ranking, as long as he stays there for one day, he will receive five hundred points."

"But you must remember, ranking rewards are tallied at midnight. If someone 'steals your tower,' then you'll miss out on the ranking reward."

"Of course, there are other ways to earn points, such as going to the task center. There are all sorts of tasks, not only hunting Vicious Beasts but also cleaning toilets and the like."

"Alright, my duty is to tell you these things. As for anything else you want to know, go buy a strategy guide. The supermarket has everything."

After saying this, Nightingale walked up to Yu Xiu, took out a strategy guide, and chuckled, "Yu Xiu, friends?"

"Nice to meet you."

Yu Xiu, operating on a 'save where you can' mentality, naturally accepted the free strategy guide.

Anyway, he had nothing to lose.

"I'm Nightingale!"

Seeing Nightingale extend her fair, delicate hand, Yu Xiu shook it, "Yu Xiu!"

Nightingale smiled sweetly, winked at Yu Xiu, "See you next time!"

After Cang Lang walked away with Nightingale, he finally couldn't help but ask, "You haven't fallen for that kid Yu Xiu, have you?"

"Otherwise?" Nightingale chuckled, "Not only is he handsome, but he's also strong. I have no reason not to like him."

"But you're older than Yu Xiu. He's only sixteen this year, just a high school student, and you've graduated from university many years ago."

Nightingale said disdainfully, "So what? What a young girl can do, this old lady can do too, and even better. Besides, I'm proactive and will never be shy or reserved."

"Don't you men just like women who are virtuous outside and wanton inside?"

"I can do that."

Cang Lang was speechless for a moment, then waved his hand, "Whatever you want. Just don't come back crying into your pillow if Yu Xiu doesn't fancy you."

Cang Lang and Nightingale were university classmates and also part of the same team. They often did tasks together during university and knew each other very well.

Despite Nightingale's outwardly fierce appearance, she was actually still a virgin. In her earlier years, she was a martial arts fanatic and had never been in a relationship until now.

...

"This is interesting!"

The strategy guide didn't contain much, just some methods for acquiring points, how to survive, and finally, a standard map of the Genius Training Camp.

Yu Xiu quickly finished reading it.

When he saw that both accommodation and food here required points for payment, Yu Xiu muttered to himself, "This is a method of taming wolves!"

In other words, everything here required points. As long as one had enough points, they could live as freely as an immortal.

"First, verify my strength!"

Currently, because they had just entered the Camp, only the points ranking and strength ranking had rankings. The other rankings had not yet been opened.

So Yu Xiu decided to first verify his strength and claim the top spot on the strength ranking.

Then he would go to class assignment.

The Genius Training Camp also had class assignments, but they were mainly based on cities.

However, each class had one hundred people.

Originally, Yu Xiu thought he might not be able to improve his strength in the Early Stage of the Genius Training Camp.

But after reading the strategy guide, he found that some improvement was still possible.

Although the students from Jiangtan City weren't strong, every little bit counts!

"System, if I form a class here, and there are my classmates from First High School in it, will their strength be counted?"

"It will be counted. The System only calculates the class total and doesn't care about duplication."

Hearing this, Yu Xiu felt relieved.

He had been thinking of gathering the one hundred students from First High School who passed the assessment to form a class.

If it wasn't counted repeatedly, then fifty of them would be classmates from his own class, and his improvement wouldn't be much.

"You guys should take a look too!"

Yu Xiu handed the strategy guide to Yang Duling and said, "Now let's go verify our strength. You can read as we walk!"

Yu Xiu walked in front, followed by all the students from First High School.

The students from other schools, however, were left standing in place, looking at each other.

"Should we follow too?"

"Follow what? Didn't you see that Yu Xiu has no intention of paying attention to us? He only cares about the students from First High School."

"Then what do we do now?"

"I suggest we form an Alliance. After all, there are students from other cities in this Genius Training Camp, and there's strength in numbers."

"I think that makes sense. We should form an Alliance, but who will be the leader?"

"We can discuss that later. For now, let's go to the supermarket and buy a strategy guide to understand the situation at the Genius Training Camp."

"That's a good idea!"

"But where's the supermarket?"

"Figure it out! Is that thing under your nose only for eating?"
