Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 433 - 428: Beijing Training Camp (Part 6)

As more schools arrive in Beijing, the grand training camp quickly begins its pre-training mobilization.

The twelve students from Anhe Middle School, wearing brand new school uniforms sponsored by the Bai Family, head from their exclusive training area to the gathering spot.

An open-air stadium the size of a standard football field.

It has stands, a podium, and a rubber track, comparable to the largest stadium in Anshui City.

"Lin Yaoguan, you actually came." Out of nowhere, Cao Zongming appears and calls out to Lin Yuanyang with a taunting voice.

Lin Yuanyang ignores him, while Bai Xiaotang’s face turns red with anger, and she rolls up her sleeves ready for a fight, but You Le stops her.

"Cao Zongzi, can’t speak properly, Sister Bai will help wash your mouth."

Since Bai Xiaotang personally avenged Bai Yulin, she has become more fiery-tempered, daring to take the initiative against You Le during training.

Cao Zongming is momentarily stunned, then turns his gaze to her with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Bai good-for-nothing? You’re competing too?"

"Why can’t I compete?" Bai Xiaotang’s cheeks flush with anger.

Lin Yuanyang adjusts his glasses and stands in front of Bai Xiaotang, "Cao Zongming, keep running your mouth now, but don’t cry later."

"Hahaha... your school even picked her, Central Region’s overall strength isn’t that impressive."

This comment offends not only Anhe Middle School students but also those from Anshui First Middle School and neighboring city experimental schools.

The students from these two schools stand next to Anhe Middle School’s lineup and, hearing this, they don’t hold back and all voice their condemnation of Cao Zongming.

"Which school are you from?"

"Did you win the championship last year and the year before?"

"How many times has your school reached the finals?"

"Central Region’s strength isn’t much, only took 8 championships, 12 runner-ups, and 10 third places."

"May I ask how many times your school has won the championship?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

...

This is Cao Zongming’s first time competing, and he naturally doesn’t know how many honors Beijing First Middle School has won; even if a teacher mentioned it, he didn’t remember.

He’s momentarily stuck in place.

He sees the mocking look on Lin Yuanyang’s face and angrily points at him, saying, "See you on the training field later."

Compared to Cao Zongming’s defeated withdrawal, Gu Sili looks at the latest information about Anhe Middle School, shocked.

His second brother gave it to him this morning.

It clearly states:

[Bai Xiaotang’s physique A1-level, spiritual power B6-level.]

[Lin Yuanyang suspected to have awakened Control Ability, physique reaching B5-level.]

But...

How is this possible?

When they left Beijing, he knew their situations best; they were complete failures at the bottom of the class.

Bai Xiaotang was a C-level, a D-level, with ordinary aptitude hardly resembling a noble family’s young lady.

How in just half a year did they leap over two major levels and even awaken superpowers?

Gu Sili doesn’t want to believe this report is true, but his brother’s abilities force him to believe.

"Did they take drugs?" Gu Sili mutters to himself, his expression very serious.

At this moment, his cousin Cao Zongming’s cursing voice approaches from afar.

"Too hateful! Schools in Central Region, let’s see if I don’t knock out their teeth."

Gu Sili immediately shuts off the Smart Brain, his face returning to calm, "Where did you go? The teacher was calling roll earlier, and you weren’t there."

Cao Zongming’s angry expression vanishes instantly, and he looks away guiltily, "I just saw Lin Yaoguan and Bai good-for-nothing."

Gu Sili isn’t surprised, still watching his cousin, "And then?"

"I went to say hello."

"And then offended three schools in the Central Region?" Gu Sili’s gaze turns slightly cold.

Cao Zongming lowers his head, his voice growing smaller, "Who let Bai good-for-nothing provoke me."

Gu Sili sneers, "She’s not a good-for-nothing anymore."

Cao Zongming raises his head in confusion, but Gu Sili doesn’t explain further, only saying, "During training, I don’t want you to have any conflict with them, including verbal spats."

Under Gu Sili’s pressure-filled gaze, Cao Zongming reluctantly agrees.

Silently adding: If they provoke him, he won’t just take it without fighting back.

...

First day of the grand training camp.

In the morning, each school mobilizes, and the training camp leader introduces the rules for using the eight training areas within the camp and the main training projects for each school’s teachers and students.

When hearing there’s a real-person simulation game area, the students’ eyes light up.

The training camp leader understands these students’ psychology and thoroughly introduces this training area.

"Our game area uses a virtual-real integration training program. We’ve purchased a batch of advanced gaming pods where students can enter the pods, experience the game scenes in an all-around manner, and train as game characters. This can train not only spiritual power but also physique..."

Below the stage, Ji Hong looks at the screen, the equipment incredibly familiar, desperately suppressing the anger about to explode from her chest.

This game pod looks eighty percent like the equipment she saw at the bottom of the island sea.

These people are so damned...

Ji Ning isn’t surprised, knowing the largest sponsor of this competition is involved in various globally popular online games, and even this youth training camp is theirs. Their decades-long layout has been centered around youth, so developing these virtual-real integrated game pods is quite normal.

Just didn’t expect they’d also be connected to cultivating "Commanders."

Ji Ning’s gaze gradually turns cold, his spiritual power sweeps towards Ji Hong’s direction, and surely she is trying hard to control her emotions.

Ji Ning lightly snaps his fingers, and an invisible energy orb shoots like a bullet at Ji Hong, penetrating her back.

Ji Hong freezes, sensing the familiar energy, her suppressed emotions alleviate significantly.

She turns to look in Ji Ning’s direction, nodding slightly.

...

At noon, teachers and students from various schools return to the living area to eat.

A cafeteria six floors high, offering a variety of delicious dishes, students can take as they like but must not waste food.

If caught wasting a large amount of food, fines are required.

With 12 schools, the students are inherently disciplined, and with school teachers’ reminders, no one deliberately wastes food.

But if someone distasteful turns up, it can still affect their appetites.

The three schools in the Central Region, while lively in competitions, privately maintain solidarity among teachers and students, acting in a unified manner.

Bai Xiaotang listens to gossip from a girl at the neighboring table from Linshi Experimental Middle School while eating.

"While queuing, I heard gossip from Northern Region students, saying there’s a boy from Beijing First Middle School who likes playing dirty during competitions, planning to teach him a lesson in this afternoon’s training."

"Ugh... playing dirty, deserves a lesson." The girl opposite snorts disdainfully, looking down on such people.

The girl chuckles, suddenly lowers her voice with a mysterious face, and glances deliberately at Bai Xiaotang, beckoning her over.

"Guess which boy is going to be taught a lesson?"

Bai Xiaotang puts down her chopsticks, leans over, and asks quietly, "Who is it?"

The girl’s face shows a smug smile.

"It’s the little Zongzi who mocked your school this morning."
