Chapter 32 Cooperation
"What should I do? I'm only a level 3 'body' and I only got into Luojiang Academy by sheer luck. I feel like Brother Qing is talking about me."
"And me too."
Many people unconsciously project themselves onto the situation.
There are many people in the group who are only level 3 in 'Martial Arts' or 'Spiritual Arts', and some who are specially recruited level 2 in 'Arts'. These are all destined to be people from the Lower House.
Li Fangnan was also thinking that he was not qualified to be recruited in Linhai County, because Jiang Peng's trip to Linhai County was just a spur-of-the-moment decision and he made it clear that he would only accept level 3 "skills", so Li Fangnan was not originally considered.
But because of his grandfather's connections, he was still taken along.
Before coming here, Li Fangnan believed that he was no weaker than others and that once he obtained a high-level Qi Absorption Technique, he would definitely rise to prominence.
But in the past two days, Xiao Weiqing has dealt a severe blow to them, almost from all sides.
Luojiang Academy is also full of geniuses.
Li Fangnan: "Brother Qing, since you put it that way, you must have a plan, right? Please give us some pointers."
"Yeah, Brother Qing, teach us!"
Xiao Weiqing said, "I dare not offer any guidance, but I have some immature ideas that I may share for your reference."
"I noticed that the area we're assessing has many pocket-shaped locations; you can make use of those."
Zhu Dong: "Explain in detail."
"Use the same method I used this afternoon, but you can block the bag opening. If any dragonfish over three feet tall come over, release them so they don't get any spiritual energy from you. For dragonfish under three feet tall, lure them into the bag."
"Then you will have a relatively safe and enclosed space, and enough time to fight against those arowanas under three feet long. You will always have a chance to catch one. You can make countless mistakes, but the arowana can only make one mistake."
Li Fangnan said, "I've seen the terrain you mentioned, but how could one person do it? It would require at least dozens of people."
"cooperate."
"cooperate?"
"right."
"Won't this be considered cheating?"
Xiao Weiqing said, "No, the assessment only said that the transfer of dragonfish and points was not allowed, but it did not say that cooperation was not allowed. There are quite a few of those special pocket terrains, and many of them are even man-made. I think they are probably meant for us to cooperate."
Zhu Dong said, "That makes sense. Otherwise, with our limited strength, we really can't think of any way to earn points."
"I think we can try tomorrow morning, because based on what happened this morning, we probably won't be able to catch any arowana."
"Sure, I think we should give it a try."
Zhu Dong's words were met with agreement from everyone.
It's not a bad thing to give it a try.
Qin Sheng said, "Then it's settled. This morning, those of us with points will try out the method Xiao Weiqing mentioned. The rest of you will feed the dragonfish fry. Once you have enough points, you can join us."
"it is good."
Having said what needed to be said, Xiao Weiqing left the group and continued cultivating.
Yesterday, the Qi and Fire were refined to 136 strands; tonight, we aim for 170 strands.
......
Day three.
early morning.
New students at Luojiang Academy.
Like surging waves, they moved towards the port and boarded the aircraft heading to Longyutai.
Everyone was already familiar with the process; those who needed to rent fishing rods did so, and those who needed to feed the arowana fry did so.
Xiao Weiqing returned to the Dragon Fish Terrace from yesterday to continue training his little dragonfish, wondering if the dragonfish from yesterday were still there.
If he's there, that would be best; if he's not, he'll have to put in a lot more effort.
Qin Sheng and his group, along with a dozen or so people, found a pocket-shaped terrain that Xiao Weiqing had described.
However, they are a bit short-handed; it would be great if they could get another 20 people.
Qin Sheng said, "Let's do it this way and try it out first. If anyone needs to replenish their spiritual energy, please let us know in advance. Everyone, please work hard this morning. It will be much easier in the afternoon when there are more people."
It must be even harder to compete with the three-foot-plus dragonfish at the bag's entrance, but there are about ten of them. If they can endure it, they can hold the bag's entrance. They're all fighting for points, so they're giving it their all.
"Come on, today we must avenge this defeat."
"Not bad, at least we should catch an arowana."
As summer approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
On the Luojiang River, in the Longyutai area, people moved about, thousands of people holding fishing rods, constantly casting and reeling in, occasionally pulling up a dragonfish.
The red sun rises and sets in the sky.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
The third day of the assessment was drawing to a close.
At this moment, the Anqiu City group chat was bustling with activity.
People kept taking pictures of the arowanas they had caught.
"Got it! 1.7 feet long, 26 points, hahaha..."
"I finally don't have to feed the arowana fry anymore. I had to feed them with my toes. It was so hard for me."
"Who says it isn't? One foot three inches is even more exciting for me than three feet one inch. We've finally opened for business."
Xiao Weiqing said, "It seems everyone had a good day."
"Thanks, Brother Qing. Most of us here had a good harvest today, and we won't have to feed the arowana fry tomorrow."
"Who says otherwise? I even dreamt last night that a dragonfish was sucking on my fingers. Thanks, Brother Qing."
Today they tried Xiao Weiqing's method, and it worked! By noon, quite a few people had caught dragonfish.
In the afternoon, the remaining trainees from Anqiu City joined, and the effect was even more obvious.
Smaller arowanas were attracted to the bag opening one by one, and after an hour, they had caught about a third of them.
They would have caught even more if they weren't afraid of scaring the arowanas away.
If they have this kind of harvest every day, at least ten of them will be able to join the Central Court, which only requires 400 points.
"Brother Qing is awesome!"
"How was your day, Brother Qing?"
Xiao Weiqing posted photos of the arowana he caught in the group chat.
"Not bad, two, one is 2.9 feet long and the other is 3.4 feet long."
Wow, that's amazing!
"90 plus 140, minus the 30 for the fishing rod, nets 200 points. Brother Qing's promotion is in sight!"
"Of course, Brother Qing will enter the Upper House with absolute ease."
Xiao Weiqing said, "I don't know how things will be in the next few days, but I take your good wishes with me."
......
Night falls.
After everyone had dinner.
Representatives from Luohe City, Donglin City, and Yueshan City suddenly arrived at Building L11, saying they had something to discuss.
Several people from Anqiu City met with him in the lobby on the first floor.
Qin Sheng asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Fang Lingyun from Luohe City spoke up:
"Something has indeed happened. After three days at Longyutai, I think Anqiu City is aware of the current situation."
"There's no need to deny it. Near the end of the day, I saw that you were already conducting a collaborative experiment, and Qin Sheng, you even succeeded, catching a two-foot-five-inch dragonfish. Many people have seen the results of your Anqiu City."
Fang Lingyun was direct, referring to the experiment Qin Sheng and his team had conducted that afternoon based on Xiao Weiqing's guess. Although it wasn't perfect, it proved to be feasible and effective.
Qin Sheng and his group were indeed preparing to choose a better location tomorrow.
Qin Sheng, without changing his expression, asked, "So?"
"Let's cooperate and amplify our advantages."
Qin Sheng and Xiao Weiqing exchanged a glance. "Tell me your thoughts."
Fang Lingyun said, "It's very simple. We will send people from each city according to a certain ratio, expand the scope, and then select a few of the strongest people from the remaining central fishing area, each relying on their own abilities."
This is the only way to guarantee our chance of entering the Upper House, and even if we don't get into the Upper House, we can still get into the Middle House.
"What about the rest of them?"
