19: Chen Qing comes out of seclusion, the situation of the space battlefield

Fu Mingyu looked at him helplessly: "What Medicinal Pill are you talking about? I'm here to remind you that school starts tomorrow. Don't always coop yourself up in your dorm. These past few days, the school has been up to a lot of things for this batch of new students, but you don't care about anything. All you know is buying Medicinal Pills and Cultivating."

"Now you're out of money, right? In just a few days, you've spent over 5 million, front and back. Aren't you from an ordinary family? You spend money more lavishly than I do!"

He wasn't joking. Although he had spent hundreds of millions from his family during the non-Martial Artist stage, that was over a long period. How could Chen Qing be like this, averaging a million a day!

What kind of family could afford his kind of money-burning?

Chen Qing also felt an intense ache in his heart when he heard this. Right now, he only had enough money for food, and everything else had been poured into Cultivating these past few days.

Fu Mingyu looked at Chen Qing's bitter face and chuckled, "Oh, it seems you really are out of money. Broke as a bell?"

Chen Qing ignored him, sat down next to him, picked up a banana, and ate it peel and all without even bothering to peel it.

He hadn't eaten for several days. Even though his vitality was strong now, far surpassing ordinary people, he still felt hungry.

"Hey, why do you smell sour? No, how many days has it been since you showered?"

"About a week?" Chen Qing thought for a moment and replied.

"Go, go, get away from me! Good thing I'm not your girlfriend, otherwise I wouldn't even let you touch me!"

Fu Mingyu pinched his nose, moved a little further away, and chuckled:

"Lao Chen, how's your Cultivation going lately? I'm telling you, I've had profound insights recently, and my Realm has made some small achievements. School starts tomorrow, and I plan to challenge the rankings. This time, I'm going to take the first place on the New Student Top 100 List!"

Chen Qing glanced at this idiot and suddenly said, "Hey, Lao Fu, those friends of yours who came to school with you, they don't seem weaker than you. What, you don't put them in your eyes?"

He was naturally referring to Tang Wu and Zhao Yuanyue.

Fu Mingyu waved his hand: "Don't even mention them to me! I only know them; we're not a group. We just happened to come to school together that day. We're not on the same path."

"Leaving them aside, how's your Cultivation coming along? How about it, do you have the confidence to make it onto the Top 100 List? If not, it's okay. We're brothers now. If I have a spot on the Top 100 List, you naturally won't be without one!"

He patted his chest, acting as if they were family and there was no need for formalities.

Chen Qing smiled and replied, "No need. I've also made some progress in my Cultivation these past few days. Getting onto the Top 100 List shouldn't be a problem."

Fu Mingyu looked at Chen Qing, who seemed relaxed, with some doubt.

The last time he asked him, this guy was still pushing the limits of a non-Martial Artist. It had only been a few days, so why did he look so composed now?

He carefully scrutinized Chen Qing and suddenly noticed something unusual.

"You... you've had a Breakthrough to a Martial Artist?"

Chen Qing had just emerged from a long period of Cultivation and had made good progress, with residual life force Qi still lingering around him.

In Fu Mingyu's perception, this guy was clearly much stronger than before!

Chen Qing smiled and replied, "Guess?"

Guess your grandpa!

Fu Mingyu cursed silently in his heart, too lazy to ask further. Chen Qing was S-rank, and he had reminded him last time to stay in the non-Martial Artist stage for a longer period. If he had a Breakthrough now, it could only be said that he was somewhat wasting his talent.

He thought for a moment and said, "Uh, if you've had a Breakthrough, then there's something I can take you along for."

"What is it?" Chen Qing asked.

"A great opportunity to make money! Aren't you short on money now? Your brother here has a way; I'll take you to make money together."

Chen Qing immediately became interested. When it came to making money, he wasn't sleepy anymore. He had been burning through money fiercely lately and was worried about not having money to continue Cultivating.

Medicinal Pills, weapons, Cultivation Techniques, and the like were all major expenses.

"You know about the Space Battlefield, right?"

Chen Qing's eyes flickered: "You're going to the Space Battlefield?"

"Of course not! We'd mostly be seeking death if we went to the Space Battlefield now. But besides the Space Battlefield, we can go to some smaller battlefields! The creatures in those places are relatively weaker, and we can totally handle them!"

Chen Qing's expression was serious. He knew about this; it had been taught in the Martial Dao class in middle school.

Many spatial rifts had appeared on Blue Star, each leading to another space. One of these spaces was extremely vast, with many creatures from different planets appearing within it, seemingly a huge space artificially created.

This space was called the Space Battlefield, and investigations by powerful individuals revealed that the other rifts led to independent planets, just like Blue Star.

The Space Battlefield had been in constant warfare for years, long since becoming a massive graveyard for various races of creatures.

In these smaller battlefields, the Federation mostly chose to defend, because there were many powerful and aggressive creatures in the Space Battlefield, and humans were not strong among them, only barely able to resist.

The Federation's effective strength was limited, and to completely resolve the small battlefields, a heavy price would inevitably have to be paid.

But once the main battlefield fell, humanity would cease to exist.

"Small battlefields, hasn't the Federation always chosen to defend? Trying to avoid large-scale conflicts? Are you trying to stir up trouble?"

"Your information is really outdated! Who told you the Federation has the same attitude in all battlefields? I know of several battlefields where major wars have already broken out! Do you think the Federation is stupid? These planets have been eyeing us covetously, but they're not as strong as us and dare not act rashly, but they have also been actively provoking us, wanting to use us for training!"

"The Federation naturally knows their intentions, so they simply played along, letting our people go in for training as well. So everyone tacitly understands, using each other as a touchstone!"

Seeing Chen Qing's surprise, Fu Mingyu said helplessly, "I reminded you early on to pay more attention to school matters. The school's mission hall has many such missions."

Is that so?

"Also, don't always stay in your dorm to Cultivate later on. The school has specialized training facilities where the speed of Cultivation will be much faster. Of course, it requires academic credits. Once you have academic credits, you can give it a try."

Chen Qing nodded.

He had indeed been negligent. Lately, he had been busy Cultivating and hadn't bothered to learn about the school's basic facilities.

Actually, he had forgotten that Great Master Senior Brother Tong Zhe had instructed him to visit a teacher when he had time, and Yang Chen would naturally tell him the best way to Cultivate, but he had forgotten and hadn't gone yet.

"When are we going?"

"After school starts and the Top 100 List challenges are done, we'll set off!"

The two continued to chat for a while, then Fu Mingyu left Chen Qing's dorm. Chen Qing also tidied up, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to visit the teacher.
