Chapter 88: Chapter 88 - Going Too Far!

Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

Before Skinny Monkey could finish his sentence, an ear-piercing braking sound suddenly came from the car park not far away.

‘A few people in camouflage military uniforms alighted from the car.

The car door was slammed shut.

Even from afar, he could feel the anger in their hearts.

Someone was still speaking furiously.

Ba Quan took a look and said with a heavy tone, “Captain Wei and the rest are back, but it looks like the negotiation didn’t go well.”

Hearing those words, Chu Feng also looked at them.

Three men and one woman.

Most of them were familiar faces.

Captain Wei Xingguo was leading the way.

Behind him was a beautiful girl.

It was the genius researcher Lin Xiaoling, who he met in the Abyss.

As for the tall man at the back, Chu Feng remembered that his name was Liu Ming.

‘When they encountered the Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast, he planned to sacrifice himself to buy time for his companions to escape.

He was a good man. Fortunately, he was saved by Chu Feng in the end.

Chu Feng was familiar with all three of them.

As for the last slightly stooped old man, Chu Feng did not recognize him.

Gradually, the sound of their conversation reached the plaza.

Lin Xiaoling sounded like she was about to cry.

“Captain Wei, they are really bullying us…

“They claim that you are an expert in the utilization of resources and that you can make use of every resource to its fullest potential. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition between the various organizations, they must cut our resources by half.”

“But those efficient ways of utilizing resources were also researched by us after paying a high price and putting in a lot of painstaking effort!”

“Since when is it a sin to make the most efficient use of resources?”

“Does it serve us right to give up our resources to them?”

“What rights do they have!”

At the end, Lin Xiaoling could not help but cry.

Behind her, Liu Ming gritted his teeth.

“That’s one thing, but why did they raise our passing rate from 25% to 50%? There are less than five days left until the assessment. Isn’t this clearly making things difficult for us? Are the higher-ups stupid?!”

“This is going too far!”

At the front, Captain Wei shook his head expressionlessly.

He signaled for Liu Ming to stop talking.

Beside the three of them, a slightly old man said in a deep voice, “Xingguo, we must reduce the consumption of resources. My suggestion is to use the few resources we have to focus on nurturing the most outstanding members like Ba Quan and the others. If they can perform well in the assessment, we will

be able to handle the difficulties those people imposed on us.”

This meant that those who were not talented and displayed low efficiency in using resources would be eliminated.

Concentrate on using the resources to only nurture a few ‘faces’.

After all, without resources, no matter how talented one was, one would not be able to improve faster than others.

If other people could use the misted C-rank spiritual fruit, you wouldn’t even get a D-rank spiritual fruit.

What could they use to compete with others?

‘Wei Xingguo remained silent.

The old man continued, “Xingguo, you have to make a decision. You can’t be soft-hearted now. If those guys find a reason to target you, your career will be over!”

“As far as I know, you’ve taken in the child of an old comrade, right? I heard that his son is just an ordinary person. If that’s the case, the resources required would be at least several times that of a student. One more person would consume more resources. I suggest that he return…”

“Enough.”

‘Wei Xingguo suddenly interrupted the old man.

“Old Huang, I understand your concerns.”

“However, whether they can get into Warrior University is the most crucial turning point in their lives. I can’t cut off their future and focus on nurturing just a few people. I can’t do that.”

“Old Chu’s child can’t leave either. Old Chu saved my life many times! Back then, he was already more outstanding than me. Originally, the opportunity to stay in the army was his, but in order to save me, he was injured too badly. That was why I gained the advantage. I can’t forget these things. I know thatn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Chu hopes that his son will succeed. He has never asked me for anything in his life. Since he has spoken, I must help him accomplish it.”

“As for the resources for Old Chu’s child, just use Jia Jia’s resources.”

The old man frowned.

“Jia Jia is your daughter. If you give your daughter’s share to someone else, won’t you be ruining her?”

‘Wei Xingguo shook his head.

“I know Jia Jia’s talent. She likes to do research.”

The old man wanted to say something else.

However, Wei Xingguo interrupted him, “Enough. Didn’t you say that some choices have to be made? We’re near the kids. Don’t talk about such depressing things.”

With that, Wei Xingguo suddenly quickened his pace.

He walked towards the plaza.

Chu Feng’s brows were knitted together as he watched those people slowly approach.

Others might not have heard their conversation just now, but Chu Feng heard it clearly.

He did not expect to encounter such a problem the moment he arrived.

However, his father had good taste.

The brother he acknowledged was quite reliable.

Even if things were extremely difficult, Captain Wei still saved a spot for him.

Chu Feng lowered his head. It was unclear what he was thinking.

At that moment, Wei Xingguo and the others had already arrived at the plaza.

Everyone looked at Captain Wei.

They all gathered around anxiously.

“Captain Wei, how was it? Have the higher-ups agreed to take back the order?”

“Yeah, Captain Wei, how’s the situation?”

“Are we really going to have our resources cut by half? If that’s the case, what’s there to cultivate?”

Wei Xingguo took a deep breath and spoke calmly, “Since everyone’s here, I’ll make an announcement. The higher-up’s orders will not change. In the future, all resources in the Seventh Base will be halved. The passing rate for the Warrior University must be above 50%, Otherwise, all resources for the

Seventh Military Base will be ceased. I don’t agree with this order but I can’t refuse a military order and have no choice but to implement it. In addition, I have submitted my resignation to the superiors. You will be my last batch of students. But don’t worry. In these five days, I will do my best to maximize

efficiency and make use of the remaining half of the resources to maximize everyone’s improvement. As for the passing rate, I will not make any requests! Alright, dismissed. ”

‘The crowd was in an uproar after his announcement.

“F*ck, they must be crazy!”

“They’re pushing it too far!”

“Captain Wei, don’t be rash! Are you not going to lead the troops anymore?”

‘The old man in the military uniform looked at Wei Xingguo anxiously.

Obviously, he didn’t know about Wei Xingguo’s resignation either.

“You can’t let your emotions affect your decisions! A new era is coming. With your knowledge of the Abyss, this is the best time for you to exercise your abilities. If you resign, your career will be over!”

‘Wei Xingguo’s expression was calm, but he suddenly grinned.

“Career? So be it. I don’t think it’s worth it to serve those people, so I might as well leave.”

‘Wei Xingguo raised his hand to stop Old Huang and asked, “Oh right, is Old Chu’s son here yet? Bring him out and let me meet him.”

At the mention of his old comrade’s son, a smile appeared on Wei Xingguo’s face.

It was as if he was recalling the past.

‘There was no scheming, treachery, or brownnosing.

Everyone was just filled with passion.

“Captain Wei, I’m here. My dad wants me to ask after you.”

Amidst the crowd, Chu Feng slowly raised his head with a smile on his face.

Following that, the crowd parted to reveal Chu Feng.

On the other hand, Captain Wei froze to the spot.

Lin Xiaoling’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

“Why is it you.”

“Why do you need special training?!”
