82: A world of wealth? Everyone enters battle mode!

At this moment.

Director Liao Jianguo, Director stood in the monitoring room, staring at the constantly flashing red dots on the computer screen.

"Are you sure the equipment is fine?"

"No! I used the backup machine's self-check System, and everything is running!"

Liao Jianguo, Director took a deep breath, narrowing his eyes at the data displayed on the computer: "A Grade 1 earthquake… the location is near Diaobingshan Coal Mine… Issue my order, gather the combat Martial Artists, and move to Diaobingshan Coal Mine!"

"Director…" A staff member whispered, "All the people were transferred away due to the Shanhai Pass earthquake a few days ago."

"Hiss!!!"

Liao Jianguo, Director's face stiffened; he had forgotten about that.

For him, ever since he took office, this director position had become a sinecure.

Lingnan City had always been peaceful, never experiencing an earthquake.

When an incident suddenly occurred, his tense mind went blank.

Liao Jianguo, Director continued, "Then transfer Martial Artists from Shen Bei!"

"It's precisely because the Martial Artists from Shen Bei City went to support the Sichuan West earthquake that our Lingnan City Martial Artists were transferred to Shanhai Pass."

Liao Jianguo, Director's teeth gnashed; he quickly thought for a moment and then pulled out his phone.

"Principal Zhang?"

"A Grade 1 earthquake has occurred near Diaobingshan Coal Mine. Send some Martial Artists, second-year students!"

"Alright, alright, as soon as possible. I'll be right over."

Hanging up the phone, Liao Jianguo, Director put on his clothes and said, "You stay here and continue monitoring. I'm going to the front line!"

...

Lingnan City Martial Arts University.

Principal Zhang put down the phone, his expression tense and excited: "Finally, an opportunity for me to show my face!"

Rare, it was truly too rare!

One must know that students at Lingnan City Martial Arts University had never participated in dungeon combat.

At most, they would compete in friendly matches within the province.

And this time, it was an opportunity to make a name for themselves.

As long as the dungeon was quelled, and the losses were exaggerated a bit, the supplies the country owed the school would all have to be compensated!

"A Grade 1 earthquake, it's practically a leveling spot for beginners!"

Principal Zhang felt as if someone had handed him a pillow when he was sleepy.

He was just thinking about taking on missions and establishing merits with the military and the Patrol Bureau.

In the blink of an eye, a dungeon appeared!

According to the summarized patterns in the data, the intensity of an earthquake is closely related to the dungeon's intensity.

In dungeons appearing from a Grade 1 earthquake, the most common Vicious Beasts and Stranger (supernatural beings) are only First Grade.

There are also Second-Rank, but not many.

In other words, the higher the earthquake intensity, the greater the danger of the dungeon.

For example, the earthquake at Shanhai Pass this time was a high Grade 4!

And this earthquake at Diaobingshan Coal Mine was barely Grade 1; the second-year students in the school could completely handle it.

However, if it were a Grade 2 or Grade 3 earthquake, Principal Zhang would not risk the lives of his students.

Immediately, Principal Zhang began to gather the second-year students.

The alarm blared!

Principal Zhang, almost distorting his voice through the loudspeaker, yelled: "All second-year students, gather on the training ground! Quickly! Immense fortune awaits!"

The school instantly became chaotic.

Especially the teachers who were currently teaching, all of them were bewildered.

They had been at the school for quite some time.

They had never heard the alarm sound before.

If it weren't for the mandatory national requirement, that broken loudspeaker would have been dismantled.

It was truly useless and required time and effort to inspect and repair.

Everyone knew that when the loudspeaker sounded, it meant a battlefield of souls!

But what was Principal Zhang going crazy about, also shouting about immense fortune?

The Unlucky Four, first-year students, had just finished training.

They were currently squatting in a corner, basking in the sun.

But it was obvious that Qi Chuanyu, Liao Zhongyang, Niu Yanben, and Du Ziteng still maintained a sense of distance between their two groups.

Qi Chuanyu looked up, listening to Principal Zhang yelling through the loudspeaker, his expression momentarily bewildered: "What happened?"

Liao Zhongyang lifted his eyelids, crossing his hands into his sleeves, looking indifferent.

Niu Yanben was not in good shape at the moment; his face was pale, and he looked as if he had been vigorously worked over by a full-power vacuum cleaner.

He sniffed: "I don't think it's necessarily a good thing. It's just as chaotic as Shen Bei, huh."

Mentioning Shen Bei, Du Ziteng asked, "I haven't seen that guy in a few days. Where did he go?"

No one paid him any mind.

Du Ziteng felt targeted.

Damn it, the moment I speak, you all go silent, right?

Du Ziteng rolled his eyes: "You all are damn rich."

Qi Chuanyu became interested: "How so?"

"Silence is golden, are you saving money or something?"

Qi Chuanyu laughed heartily: "What else is there to talk about with Shen Bei? Haven't you heard?"

Niu Yanben tilted his head, every strand of his yellow hair brimming with gossip: "What's the situation, huh?"

Qi Chuanyu loosened his belt, just about to speak.

Niu Yanben blurted out: "Why are you loosening your belt? To fire a celebratory cannon for fun? That XP is way too weird, huh!"

"Can you shut up?" Qi Chuanyu said irritably, continuing, "That guy Shen Bei somehow offended Yu Hao, and the other party issued a death challenge."

The others' eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, their pupils slightly contracting.

Liao Zhongyang, who had been silent, said in disbelief, "Yu Hao, last year's Champion?"

Qi Chuanyu nodded.

Niu Yanben frowned and said, "Although I don't know why there's a conflict between them, issuing a challenge like that is too low-class, isn't it? What era is this? Even Madou wouldn't film such a vulgar script, huh."

Du Ziteng nodded: "Even online novels wouldn't write such a disgusting plot."

The whole place fell silent again.

Du Ziteng cursed: "Damn it, whenever I speak, it goes silent, right? I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"

With that, Du Ziteng turned and left.

Niu Yanben shrugged and said to Qi Chuanyu, "You and Shen Bei are from the same hometown, so you should try to persuade him. Yu Hao is a Second-Rank Martial Artist, it's no joke. Impulsiveness will only lead to a huge price, huh."

Niu Yanben warned him, then followed Du Ziteng away.

Liao Zhongyang asked Qi Chuanyu, "What do you think?"

"That guy is sick; he always adds 'huh' when he talks. It's so annoying."

"I'm asking about Shen Bei."

"He's also sick."

Qi Chuanyu smacked his lips and continued, "In school, what else could cause a fight? Women, of course!"

"Who is this woman?" Liao Zhongyang asked curiously.

"Nonsense, who else could it be?" Qi Chuanyu said with absolute certainty, "It must be the campus belle, Yu Qiuyi!"

Liao Zhongyang: ...

I suspect you still harbor ill intentions.

Qi Chuanyu stood up, brushing the dust from his backside: "Just wait for the funeral feast."

"No." Liao Zhongyang shook his head.

Qi Chuanyu snorted: "No matter how amazing Shen Bei is, can he still defeat the Second-Rank Yu Hao?"

Liao Zhongyang corrected him: "I mean, the woman is wrong. It definitely isn't Yu Qiuyi."

"Whoever the hell it is, it's not me who's dying."

...

Martial Arts University training ground.

A group of second-year students stood in formation.

Principal Zhang had no time for nonsense, yelling at the top of his lungs: "Those who are not Second-Rank Martial Artists, get out!"

Whoosh...

More than half walked out.

Principal Zhang's face immediately fell.

He looked back at the second-year teachers.

His eyes filled with resentment.

"Is this the result of your teaching?"

Principal Zhang was furious; they were already in their second year, for crying out loud.

Yet half of the students were still First-Rank Martial Artists!

No wonder the Martial Arts University didn't get any resources, with this teaching progress.

They would be too embarrassed to greet their peers outside.

The teachers' excuses were also very sufficient: you can't turn a pile of shit into gold, can you?

If we had that ability, would we still be messing around in a Earth-Grade city's Martial Arts University?

We would have gone to Capital Wu Da long ago.

Principal Zhang knew time was tight and had no time for useless chatter, so he went straight to the point:

"A Grade 1 earthquake has occurred near Diaobingshan Coal Mine; everyone knows what that signifies."

"No more nonsense. Lingnan City is short-staffed, and our Martial Arts University students need to step up."

"The country doesn't support good-for-nothings! Remember your mission!"

"Depart!"

At this moment, a few students raised their hands: "Principal, I have diarrhea. Can I not go?"

Principal Zhang gave him a cold look, refusing mercilessly: "Hold it in! Rather let the enemy beat the shit out of you, no one is getting away!"

"Yu Hao!"

"Here!"

"Lead the team and depart!"

"Yes!"
