Chapter 92: Top One Hundred in the City!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
ng Chao suppressed his urge to pinch the girl’s cheeks and asked, “What happened to Test Area 5523? How many people died or were injured?”
“I saw the news. I think there were examinees who died,” the girl said.
“Ah...” ng Chao felt complicated emotions in his heart.
He felt hurt when he heard that his peers died, naturally, but in his previous life, Principal Sun did not protect them, so there was a possibility that the number of deaths had reached the hundreds at that ti.
Nearly one hundred people’s fates were changed, and they had hope to further their studies in university. In the future, they would serve important purposes.
Principal Sun must feel really gratified in heaven, right?
“Don’t be sad, Big Brother, just like how I didn’t manage to stop Granny Wang from sacrificing herself no matter how hard I tried, you could not do it either. I heard that when the reinforcents arrived, you looked like a smashed waterlon with hundreds of slashes on you. Even so, you still kept your hand firmly around that superbeast’s brain!”
Granny Wang’s sacrifice and her big brother’s heroic deeds made the girl much more mature.
Even though the comparison was really inappropriate, she had at least learned how to comfort soone.
She thought about it and tentatively brought out a wooden box covered in red velvet. She opened it as if she was presenting her treasure to him. It had three dals inside it. Two were silver and one was bronze.
“These are your dals. Everyone thinks you’re really brave! I’m serious!” the girl said.
The first was a silver dal. It was squarish and looked like a city. Sitting on top of it was a huge, roaring dragon. Written under it were the words: Grade Three Citizen of the Order of rit.
This was given by the Survival Committee, and it was commonly known as the Dragon dal. It was the proof that a citizen had perford a ritorious deed to the city.
The second silver dal was shaped as a five-pointed star. It had an artillery carriage ford by intersecting weapons on it. They carried a murderous looking artillery.
This was given by the Red Dragon Army. It was commonly known as the Artillery dal, and it was proof that a soldier had perford a ritorious deed.
The third was a bronze dal. It was rectangular in shape, and on it was the towering Supernatural Tower. Around it were a cluster of brilliant stars.
This was given by the Supernatural Tower, and it was commonly known as the Star dal. It was proof that a superhuman had perford a ritorious deed.
Dragon City was a lone army in the Other World. To encourage the citizens to be brave and kill the enemies, they paid a lot of attention to the classification of ritorious services.
The three systems governing the citizens, military, and superhumans had their own way of distinguishing what was a ritorious deed and their own promotional system.
There were five grades of dals: tal, bronze, silver, gold, and the most valuable and rarest blood. The last one was a dal dyed red by the martyrs’ blood.
Each grade represented different rewards. They could be given extra points during the national college examination, be recruited by business industries or civil services when all potential candidates had the sa qualifications, be exempted from tax when they created their own business, have an earlier turn when they applied for public renting houses, be able to apply for larger houses, and other such rewards.
As long as anyone perford a ritorious service, they would be able to obtain benefits in their lives, work, and cultivation.
The two silver dals ant that ng Chao had perford a grade three ritorious service.
The one bronze dal ant that he had perford a grade four ritorious service.
Since the difficulty of the practical test was incredibly high, the examinees who were injured or died received treatnt equivalent to a soldier, and ng Chao had also broken through the limits of his life during a vicious fight.
Hence, the three organizations credited him for his deeds. At the very least, he could get an extra thirty to fifty points to his final score.
ng Chao was a worldly person.
When he faced the Bloody Moon Wolf King, he was angry, and his mind had beco blank. Even if it ant that he was going to end up crippled, he still insisted on getting rid of that wolf.
But after the entire thing, when the governnt acknowledged his deeds and he gained both physical and spiritual rewards, he still felt really good.
He pressed the dals against his chest and started posing in his sister’s direction.
“Ah, look at you.” Bai Jiacao pouted. “Next ti, I’m going to get my own dals, and I’ll get more than you! I’ll be more aweso than you!”
As she spoke, their parents ca back to take over, because they had finished eating.
When they saw that their son had woken, they were naturally delighted. The entire family hugged each other.
The parents then spoke words that put ng Chao at ease.
The points of his national college examination were just fine.
Since a space-ti rift had appeared in Test Area 5523, the examinees there had lost an hour of the exam compared to the other test areas, and they could be considered to have suffered so loss because of it.
But many of the examinees who were sent to the wild fought bravely and displayed the mighty attitude that young Earthlings should have.
Their actions were all recorded by the monitors they carried with them. Even if they experienced interference, many of the data could still be recovered.
The examinees who did not know each other before the test could also give witness testants that were cross-validated. Besides, the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves’ carcasses and wounds served as proof, so it was not hard for them to receive points based on their performance, especially for ng Chao.
Luo Hai and the rest testified that he was the first to ntion that they had to stand their ground and wait for reinforcents, was the first to kill a Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf, the first to sing loudly to gather a large number of examinees to his side, and stir up the students’ courage.
When the reinforcents arrived, they also saw that he had his arm inside the wolf king’s brain.
The terrifying scene stunned many of the powerful fighters when they saw it.
Based on the principle of rewarding bonus points to examinees who were active in saving their companions, ng Chao gained a few hundred bonus points as his reward.
With the extra he gained from the three dals, his total made him rank thirty-ninth in the whole city.
“That high?”
ng Chao was shocked by the result.
In just a short month or so, he managed to plow his way through being ranked in the ten thousands to the top one hundred in the city. This was basically the sa as him cheating.
Wait, he was cheating.
He thought about it and asked, “By the way, Jiacao ntioned that this is Fengshui dical Center. Why am I here? Isn’t this place supposed to be really expensive?”
His mother had to change her joints here. Even if soone familiar with the mbers of the staff recomnded a patient here and received a seventy percent or higher discount, they would still have to spend millions to be treated.
With his injuries, he would not be released unless they spent tens of millions on him.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Soone paid for you,” Bai Suxin explained.
When people like ng Chao who perford ritorious deeds ran into accidents, the education departnt, insurance company, and the three governnt organizations who gave him the dals were willing to pay the dical fees.
During the first few days, he was in the ICU of a governnt hospital and enjoyed the best treatnt for free.
Once he was out of the critical zone, soone suggested that he switch to a private hospital.
This did not an that private hospitals were better than governnt hospitals.
Instead, it was because many of the best dical plans required expensive dicine that was not listed among the items that could be reimbursed, and the governnt hospitals could not use them at will.
“Mr. Ning Shewo was the one who suggested this. Yan Organization also took part in this. They introduced a lot of famous doctors and ford a joint dical team with Dr. Su Yuan.
“Your Dad said that Mr. Ning is trustworthy, and Yan Organization is a major organization. Dr. Su Yuan was also very attentive while treating . Besides, the environnt here is much better than in the governnt hospitals. After we thought about it, we transferred you here.
“As for the dical fees, the governnt will reimburse half of the dical fees if you’re treated in a private hospital. As for the rest, Elder Ning and Yan Organization paid for it. They ntioned sothing really strange. It’s sothing about, ‘Just think about it as us expressing our gratitude to Old Fire Relayer.’ Who is that?”
ng Chao coughed. “Mom, he’s the master I ntioned last ti. I got to know him from a life science forum.”
“What?” Bai Suxin was shocked. “You got yourself a master on those harmful websites?”
‘... Are you guys reading from a script? Why are all of you saying the sa things?!’
“By the way, soone major dropped by as well. He’s Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu. He brought a lot of valuable dicine and said that he will pay for your dical fees.”
Bai Suxin gasped in amazent. “Chao’er, when did you get to know Master Luo Wu? He’s a Heaven Realm elite!”
ng Chao was stunned for a mont, then he understood what had happened.
Luo Hai, the student council president of Construction High School and Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu’s son, was in the sa test area as him.
Could it be that Master Luo Wu believed that his heroic deeds saved his son’s life, so he ca to repay the favor?
Or was there a deeper aning behind this?
“Big Brother, I just found out recently that you know a lot of people,” Bai Jiacao said with shining eyes. “Aside from Master Luo Wu, two older girls ca to visit you. One of them is Elder Ning’s granddaughter, and the other is Ripple Princess, Yan Feirou. I won’t talk about Elder Ning’s granddaughter, but isn’t that Yan Feirou the girl that you observed with a magnifying glass and with your butt out in the air in front of the TV last ti? Why did she co to visit you?”
“Well...” ng Chao tilted his head and thought about it. “Maybe it’s because she admires heroes a lot?”
Bai Jiacao was about to make a sarcastic quip when the handso Dr. Su Yuan entered the room with a group of other doctors in white coats.
Behind them was Ning Shewo, and he looked delighted.
He ca for a check-up from Dr. Su Yuan and was just in ti to see ng Chao wake up.
“Based on your physiological paraters, you’ve recovered really well. How do you feel now?”
Dr. Su Yuan placed his hand on ng Chao’s shoulder.
ng Chao imdiately felt a few very comfortable waves of heat slowly circulate and grow in his body like roots of a tree.
Dr. Su Yuan then said in slight puzzlent that ng Chao’s body was definitely the “hungriest” body he had ever seen. The activity of his cells was several tis higher than those of a normal person. The gene dicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid he had been taking over the past few days was good stuff that could not be bought with money from the market.
Forget about normal people, many of the three star Earth Realm elites did not eat as much as ng Chao did, and the stuff they ate was not as good either.
Usually, new superhumans were not able to withstand powerful energy nourishing them. This was just like how a three-year-old would definitely be sick if he ate a ginseng like a carrot.
But ng Chao’s body was like a black hole. No matter how many treasures they stuffed into his body, they were all digested and absorbed until nothing was left.
Fortunately, he had perford a ritorious deed, and the governnt had reimbursed half of the fees, while the other half was paid for by Ning Shewo, Yan Organization, and Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu. That was why ng Chao could afford the lavish treatnt plan.
Even so, the doctors did not know just where he hid the energy he absorbed.
ng Chao knew, though. It was the reason how Kindling kept on getting stronger.
But there were plenty of talented people in Dragon City, so there was nothing that he needed to hide when it ca to his health.
“I feel good. But there is so multi-colored smoke floating in front of ,” ng Chao said.
ng Yishan and Bai Suxin looked at each other. Multi-colored smoke? They did not see it.
Bai Jiacao wanted to say sothing, but did not. She just shrank into a corner.
“That’s spirit energy. Do you rember that you turned into a superhuman on the battlefield? It’s natural that you can see spirit energy now,” Dr. Su Yuan said. “We can see things because our visual system turned the light we can see into electrical pulse signals.
“This transformation ability differs among different living objects.
“Canines can only decipher signals in grayscale, so they cannot see colors. As for shrimps, their eyes contain sixteen different color sensory organs.
“The human visual system has a lot more color and light sensory organs compared to that of shrimps. We can see infrared to ultraviolet, and tens of thousands of colors in a large spectrum. Logically speaking, we can also directly see magnetic waves, the planet’s magnetic field, a person’s magnetic field, spirit energy, solar storms, and all sorts of natural phenonon and forms of energy.
“But most of the visual sensory organs in a normal person are dormant. Only when you surpass the limits of your life are those sensory organs activated one after another, and you beco capable of seeing a more radiant world. It also reveals more truths of the world.
“Being able to see spirit energy is the most basic thing that differentiates a normal human from a superhuman.”
