Chapter 3, Fury
His gaze, sharp as a sword, gradually lost its edge, becoming deep and restrained, and he seemed somewhat lost in thought
Very well. The old man quickly processed the paperwork for him: "That place is spacious enough, and you can save on accommodation costs. The advance payment has already been transferred to your card, here is the key, and the address is on it. Now, welcome to the sensing field."
Ai Hui did not answer but instead asked, "Can I advance a portion of the payment?"
Master Xu finally stopped with satisfaction: "Classmates from the old land, when you passed the qualification assessment, you received a sum of money, which is intended to meet everyone's daily learning needs"
Gazing at the three-leaf vine vehicle disappearing into the horizon, he withdrew his gaze and continued onward
The whirling clover hangs from a massive rattan cage, which is filled with several rows of rattan chairs packed with passengers. In front of the rattan vehicle, there grows a rainbow basket, with its leaf blades releasing radiant colors, forming the characters "Qingshan City," visible from a great distance
He sat upright, his sharp gaze swiftly scanning the materials in his hand, first focusing on the item "three meals included." There were quite a few, and Ai Hui let out a sigh of relief. His fingertips glided along the list one by one, and suddenly, his fair and slender finger came to a halt.
Everyone has three days to arrange their own accommodation and meals. In three days, we will begin classes. Please note that the enlightenment of elemental force is not within the scope of our lectures. If anyone has not attended the elementary studies, you may self-study in the library or audit Master Dong's elementary studies class. The meeting is now dismissed
Fortunately, the location is not too difficult to find. The commission hall is situated in the center of the city, making it quite prominent
He did not deliberately do these things; everything was so natural.
However, the ubiquitous presence of the three-leafed vine vehicles profoundly made Ai Hui feel the prosperity of the sensing field. The once unattainable Yuanxiu in his heart is also found everywhere here
Sensing the other person's kindness, Ai Hui smiled back, albeit clumsily, and said, "I will."
Thinking of this, Ai Hui felt a bit regretful
This guy has been identified as the class leader. What is a class leader? The leader of a group? It is not a good thing for an arrogant person to be in charge, as the well-informed Ai Hui observes with a cold eye.
At such an advanced age, can one enter the sensing field? Moreover, it has a rather peculiar name
Having money in hand brings peace of mind, truly a profound saying. Ai Hui feels very good now, and the world has become much more beautiful.
Noticing the disorder of his breath, he slowly regulated his breathing, and the feeling of unease gradually dissipated, allowing his body to return to its optimal state
However, the most pressing issue he needs to resolve at the moment is money; he is completely broke and does not even have money for lunch
The old soil's bar
For example, he observed everything around him in secret: the teacher on the podium, the classmates nearby, the structure of the school building, the arrangement of the seats, and so on. Many times, these seemingly unnecessary details can determine your life or death; never think that the information you possess is too much.
Ai Hui's fury had nearly dissipated, and his cold gaze began to grow vacant and dazed. He felt as though he was on the brink of being finished off, and in the most brutal manner possible
The enthusiasm of the wood repairers for combat is generally low; they prefer to stay in the rear
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, as if emerging from the wilderness, and had become much more sentimental. With an old cloth bag slung over his shoulder, chewing on grass, he moved forward under the sun, accompanied by his own shadow, gazing at the map, heading towards his goal
Why didn't I just get rid of that damn fat guy when I was signing up
Ai Hui replied succinctly: "I accept"
Before him lay unfamiliar streets and shops, with various things he had never seen whizzing past him and overhead, while the surrounding pedestrians engaged in discussions on topics he could not comprehend
Ai Hui found Master Dong's elementary education class on the schedule and circled it, indicating that it was the class he needed to attend
Ai Hui carried an old cloth bag in one hand, held a map in the other, and had a blade of grass he had plucked from the roadside in his mouth, as he walked out of the school building
Ai Hui expressed heartfelt gratitude and bowed sincerely: "Thank you!"
Perhaps this is what it means to grow up, to be a little faster than others, which is not a bad thing
For example, he selects the position of the seat
Duanmu Huangcun appears somewhat arrogant, but possesses considerable strength, prompting Ai Hui to remain cautious.
Ai Hui had seen the three-leaf vine cart in the wilderness, but it was much more rudimentary than this one, and the vine cage was covered with colorful poisonous thorns, resembling a monster. The three-leaf vine cart is generally used in the wilderness for transporting supplies, but they are not numerous, making this a very dangerous job. The ferocious birds of prey in the wilderness are extremely fierce, with terrifying attack power
Seeing this, Professor Xu beside the podium lightly cleared his throat and said, "Students at the back, do not be so brief; please provide more information about yourselves. This way, your classmates will be able to understand you better and more quickly."
Next, I will introduce the fee standards for the induction field. All school buildings in the urban area require fees. You may have noticed that the concentration of elemental energy in the urban area is quite rich; in such an environment, cultivation is much more effective. The annual fee for a single room is 50,000 yuan. In addition, we have prepared more high-end and luxurious dormitories, which have a concentration of elemental energy nine times that of the outside world, with an annual fee of 700,000 yuan, which students with the means may consider. Now, let's talk about meals. The meals in the venue are very affordable, with a daily standard of 200 yuan, which includes one serving of elemental food...

At this moment, Ai Hui let out a long sigh of relief, thankful that he had left himself a way out. The joy of surviving a calamity was akin to narrowly escaping from the jaws of a tiger. Unconsciously, he found that a layer of fine beads of sweat had formed on his forehead.
On the podium, the master spoke incessantly, with flying saliva striking the blackboard, as if nailing shimmering characters of "money" onto it.
Is this the true nature of the induction field? In fact, the induction field is a place that is hundreds of times more dangerous than the wilderness
Wiping the slight sweat from his forehead, Ai Hui immediately raised the danger level of the sensing field in his mind
Accommodation and meals included in the induction field? Haha
In the cold and ruthless wilderness, where danger lurks at every corner, the savage beasts with their blood-stained white fangs now appear so gentle and endearing in Ai Hui's heart
The massive three-leaf vine vehicle swept over his head, and he couldn't help but stop and look up.
It has been a full half hour! This guy is still introducing the fees! Suddenly, Ai Hui felt an impulse to rush up and deal with Xu Shuzi, who on stage seemed like a beast that had just threatened him, oh no, a beast with whom he had a deep-seated blood feud!
Unfortunately, the chubby person was not placed in the same class as him
The polite little child. The old man revealed a faint smile: Keep practicing, strength is everything
Entering the deep alley feels like stepping into a completely different world, evoking a sense of ancient desolation. The surrounding houses are all very old, clearly showing their age.
There are more than 200 students in the class, and their ages are generally on the younger side, as can be seen from the innocence and youthfulness on their faces. A few individuals are dressed elegantly and appear proud, likely coming from prominent families. One person, Ai Hui, stands out in my memory; he is the young nobleman who descended from the exquisite Fire Floating Cloud that I saw with the chubby guy outside the main gate
Master Xu provided a thick stack of materials, which includes the class schedule, nearby maps, work lists, task lists, accommodation markers and library regulations, distribution of restaurants in the city, routes to various cities, and so on, all very detailed
Every corner of the study was within sight, and no danger was detected. After introducing himself, Ai Hui hurriedly fled the podium as if in panic
At this moment, Ai Hui appeared exceptionally quiet. No one noticed that this boy, who was as calm and deep as a pool of water in the corner of the school building, was a dormant beast, capable of unleashing astonishing power at any moment
Three years of a wild and untamed life have left too many marks
Of course, that amount of money is only sufficient for your basic living expenses. If you wish to obtain more resources and opportunities, you will need to work harder. There are a total of seventy-six cities in the sensing field, offering a large number of job opportunities and daily tasks that can allow you to earn corresponding rewards. I would like to remind everyone that the main task upon entering the sensing field is to learn and cultivate, rather than to make money. Please do not waste too much time on this, as it may hinder your cultivation, which would be counterproductive.

However, in the next moment, these minor regrets were shattered by Xu Fuzis words, replaced by an overwhelming fury and boundless intent to kill
Ai Hui discovered that he could calmly observe everything unfamiliar before him
"Do you really accept this commission?" The old man who issued the commission kindly reminded him: "The area of the dojo is not small, and the daily maintenance work is not easy. To be honest, I didn't expect anyone to accept this commission now. The owner of the dojo has not returned for twenty years. Before he left, he deposited a sum of money in our account, and before this money runs out, we issue the same commission to him every year. But you know, the remuneration for this commission is still based on the standards from twenty years ago, and no one has taken it since ten years ago. I must remind you that the pay is very low, barely enough for you to eat. Are you sure you want to accept this commission?"
However, this has nothing to do with oneself
Did not pass the qualification assessment
Ai Hui squinted his eyes, his gaze icy and cold, heh, he has lost count of how many beasts like this he has encountered
Some of the classmates were somewhat astonished by Ai Hui's advanced age, buzzing with discussion.
An hour has passed
Ai Hui's cheeks twitched imperceptibly; he had no desire to continue listening. He struggled to control his expression, but the anger within him was almost burning him alive, and the veins on his fists, clenched beneath the table, were bulging.
He sits in a seat by the window, with a clear view outside, allowing him to guard against attacks from outside. If an attack were to come from within the school building, he could immediately jump out of the window to evade it
The old man immediately understood Ai Hui's situation and nodded: "Alright. However, I must remind you that if you accept this commission, you will not be able to revoke it before you leave the sensing field. Do you need to reconsider?"
My name is Ai Hui, I am sixteen years old, and I am very pleased to be in the same class as everyone. I hope everyone will take good care of me. Standing on the podium, Ai Hui tried to soften his tone, reminding himself that this is not a wilderness
At this moment, he is filled with an overwhelming impulse to turn around and flee back to the wilderness
After three years in the wilderness, his strength still cannot be considered formidable, yet his inner resolve has grown significantly stronger than before. He possesses the courage to live alone in this world, to confront the unknown and the unfamiliar, although this is not an easy task
The strange and peculiar things on the street immediately made one feel very interesting. Ai Hui felt as if he were a tourist, filled with curiosity about everything around him
Suddenly, Ai Hui stopped in his tracks
Returning to his seat, Ai Hui let out a sigh of relief; compared to the battle, the scene before him left him feeling even more at a loss.
Ai Hui stared blankly at the Master
After a short while, he finally found the alley where the dojo was located. According to the map, the dojo was at the end of the alley
