The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 171 Old Photos from the Mythical Era!
When Cao Zhigang announced that Jiang Chuan was ranked first overall, Cao Zhiqiang, the teacher of Class 2, also announced the same information.

However, after learning that Jiang Chuan had won first place overall, the students in Class 2 were even more enthusiastic than those in Class 1.

After all, Jiang Chuan had taught for almost a month, and the students in Class Two had completely different feelings towards him.

Even more surprisingly, the average ranking of Class 2 is around 1,500, which is only 300 places lower than the average ranking of Class 1.

This also takes into account that Jiang Chuan, the leader of Class 1, raised the average. This is because during the nearly one month that Jiang Chuan taught Class 2, he not only taught the class but also led the students in Class 2 to frantically accumulate merit points.

At that time, the Qingshan Tomb incident required a large number of people to be transferred, and the Qing City Supervision Group was not manpower enough. These students had to go out to cooperate with the work and carry out the mission. The merit points they earned at that time were naturally reflected in the ranking. So even though their performance in the second phase of training was far inferior to that of Class 1, they were still quite outstanding in the average ranking.

Zhong Huahua's ability to achieve such a formidable ranking, even surpassing Lin Ci and Li Yi, is not only due to her impressive performance in breaking through the formation in the second phase, but also because she gained a large number of merit points through the highway escort mission and her participation in the Qingshan Anle Tomb incident.

As the frenzied shouts and excited cheers gradually subsided...

Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang then continued to explain the subsequent developments of the software.

For example, the amount of merit points will be updated on the 1st of each month.

For example, the software will continue to be used even after they graduate, and the ranking list will continue to be updated.

The concept of merit points was actually mentioned in the theory class before the start of the second phase of training.

But it was only at this point that a detailed explanation began.

Cao Zhigang said:
"Once you graduate, there will only be one way to earn merit points: complete the tasks assigned by the organization!"

"Some of these tasks can be refused, and some cannot, but regardless of the type of task, you can earn merit points!"

"Each merit point will be awarded based on the task level and the percentage of completion!"

Jiang Chuan looked at the screen on his phone and saw his achievement points.

11075.

There are even detailed breakdowns.

The largest proportion of merit points was awarded for the Qingshan Anle Tomb incident, which gave a full 5000 points.

Next was the chessboard escort mission, which gave 3000.

The case of Zhao Tianyu, the Left Protector of the White Lotus Sect, was rewarded with 1000.

The remaining two thousand points came from substitute teaching, vampire smuggling cases, causal exploitation cases, and various other cases brought about by assisting the Public Security Bureau.

Today happens to be the 1st, and the 300 merit points from the vampire smuggling case are also included.

Princess Anle gave more that time...

Jiang Chuan sighed, and then a connection was made.

The different scores seem to be because headquarters assessed the impact and harm of the incident.
Incidents like the Anle Tomb incident and the White Lotus incident could have extremely terrible consequences...

In particular, the death toll in the Anle Tomb incident was so high that the incident level has been raised to a critical point.

The three thousand points placed on the chessboard are likely due to the unique characteristics of the chessboard.

If we only talk about danger, the Causal Seizure Case is also very dangerous. If I hadn't been immune to mind control, I would probably be in big trouble. However, the merit points given by the Causal Seizure Case are far less than those given by the White Lotus Incident, only 200 points.

At this moment, Tang Songming, who was standing next to Jiang Chuan, spoke up: "I have seventy merit points. I wonder how many Brother Jiang has?"

When Tang Songming's gaze fell on Jiang Chuan's phone screen, his body stiffened.

Clearly, he was slightly shocked when he saw that his points were less than a fraction of Jiang Chuan's.

He looked at Jiang Chuan in amazement, then said with admiration, "Brother Jiang, you are truly a man of great talent, I admire you greatly."

Just as Tang Songming was muttering to himself, Cao Zhigang's voice hadn't even faded:
"After you graduate and join the various departments of the organization, you can apply to the headquarters' technical team, craftsman team, and research and development team to forge weapons and equipment using merit points! For example, an extremely sharp dagger developed by all three teams will only require 500 merit points!"

"If you're lucky, you might even find some old items available for exchange!"

"And some medicines, books, and even cars and houses can be redeemed using merit points!"

"I hope everyone cherishes these things and doesn't waste them, as they may be crucial for your future survival!"

When Cao Zhigang mentioned the dagger, he gave Jiang Chuan a special look.

Only 500 merit points?

My precious dagger only has 500 points?
With his current wealth, he could buy 22 daggers.

But then I thought, if this dagger is worth 500 merit points, then the actual merit points for the Zhao Tianyu incident should be 1500 points.

Looking at her pitiful number of merit points, Tian Tian sighed silently, feeling that she was a long way from obtaining that dagger.

However, most students in the class had no concept of GPA, because most of them had a GPA of 0.

"The rankings and merit points are temporarily settled!"

"Next, we will move on to the second part of today's theory lesson!"

At this point, Cao Zhigang cut away the QR code and finally arrived at the second page of the PPT.

The students, who had been looking at their own performance points, glanced up at the projected image, and then the classroom suddenly fell silent.

Because at this moment, the four characters "Mythical Era" were written on the projection screen!
"Mythological Era!?"

Jiang Chuan was also startled when he saw these four words.

These four words immediately energized him, and he developed an unprecedented and great interest in attending classes.

"This is a history lesson!"

"But it's different from the history you know!"

Cao Zhigang said:
"Before I officially begin the lecture, I want to make a few points in advance!"

"Everything mentioned in this course is intelligence gathered by the organization from its collection of information on awakened memories both domestically and internationally, combined with the historical documents currently available, and analyzed and summarized!"

"You may encounter related tasks in the future!"

"Having some prior knowledge will also help improve your survival rate after graduation!"

Although that's what he said, Cao Zhigang didn't really agree with telling these kids right now. They were far from being at a level where they could be exposed to these things. Not to mention them, Cao Zhigang even felt that it was too early for him to understand these things. Only people like Li Yu or Gao Hong, the leader of Group Five, would have the opportunity to truly be involved in such missions.

However, since it was a course planned by the planning team, whether Cao Zhigang himself was willing or not, the course had to start.

"Based on the intelligence we currently have, human history can be roughly divided into four eras!" "The Age of Mythology! The Age of Gods and Humans! The Rise of Civilization! The Age of Technology!"

"Today is the first lecture: The Age of Myths!"

The classroom was completely silent.

After all, they are all S-class awakened individuals. Although their current abilities are far from being able to command the wind and rain, they are still far beyond what they were originally aware of. Because of this, a unique kind of self-reflection will appear in the minds of most people: if they continue to grow at this speed, what level will they eventually reach?
They might also possess the power to destroy the world and move mountains and seas, just like the gods in legends.

Seeing the students' excited gazes, Cao Zhigang recalled his own astonishment when he first learned about these things.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"This lesson will begin with the Battle of Zhuolu!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ci's expression changed slightly.

The Battle of Zhuolu was, after all, a battle in which the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor defeated Chiyou, and Lin Ci's awakened memories were those of a priest of the Jiuli tribe, so naturally he would have some reaction.

Cao Zhigang paused for a moment, then added, "In China, the mythological era should be traced back to the Three Sovereigns era, when Fuxi lived. However, there are relatively few awakened individuals related to this, and the information collected is too fragmented. Therefore, we will start directly from the battle in 2677 BC."

"The Battle of Zhuolu began with Chi You's westward expedition. The Yan Emperor's tribe was unable to resist and its territory was almost completely annexed. At this time, the Yan Emperor sought help from the Yellow Emperor, which led to this great battle. The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor cooperated to fight against the Jiuli tribe."

"Through the descriptions of that war by some awakened beings, Yinglong, Fengbo, Yubo, and even Tiannvba all made appearances. The two sides finally fought a decisive battle in the wilderness of Jizhou, where Chiyou was defeated and the western expedition ended."

Cao Zhigang's brief statement meant he was genuinely reading from a prepared script.

However, the image on the PowerPoint presentation was not simple.

The perspective of this scene appears to be from a mountain peak, with others rushing towards the main battlefield. The main battlefield is a dense, dark mass of heads, covering the entire mountainside; as far as the eye can see, it's a battlefield!
How many people are there? A battle involving hundreds of thousands!?

A massive Yinglong spewed water down from the clouds, and amidst the wind, rain, lightning, and thunder on the battlefield, two enormous figures appeared to be battling the Yinglong.

On the vast, dark plain, the dark battlefield was streaked with light as huge figures, several meters tall, charged in groups towards the war elephants.

In the very center of this battlefield on the plains, Chi You's figure stood out most prominently, for around him lay a vast open space, the ground cracked and riddled with countless ravines, with chunks of earth even torn up...

Chi You was tall with blue skin and eight arms, each holding a weapon, the most striking of which was a giant axe!
Jiang Chuan squinted and looked closely, discovering that the impact was not just on the ground... it seemed that even space itself was somewhat bent and distorted!

Furthermore, he appeared to be engaged in a fierce battle with a sword light...

Sword light? The Xuanyuan Sword? The Yellow Emperor?
What level of combat was that exactly?!
Jiang Chuan stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

The scene was filled with so many details that he was overwhelmed. The battlefield wasn't just filled with humans; there were minotaurines, creatures with two horns on their heads, and beings with two wings on their backs... From the sky to the ground, there was fighting almost everywhere!
Although it's just a picture, the power displayed in it is truly terrifying...

Jiang Chuan could tell just by looking at it that if he accidentally stepped into the battlefield, the aftershocks would probably kill him...

The more I look at it, the more awe-inspiring it becomes!

You can almost feel the deafening roar of battle emanating from this picture!
This scene looks so real!

At that moment, Jiang Chuan thought of something, turned around and found Lin Ci's location, where he saw Lin Ci staring wide-eyed at the picture.

Jiang Chuan was somewhat bewildered when he saw Lin Ci's expression.

What could make Lin Ci so excited...?

Could this really be true?!

Cao Zhigang said, "This is a scene that was drawn by the dream interpreter at the organization's headquarters after entering the dream and memorizing it. The realism is about 99%, and it is no different from a photograph."

"As you can probably tell..."

"The battlefield at that time was terrifying to the extreme."

Cao Zhigang's words drew gasps of surprise.

Everyone found it extremely hard to believe.

This picture... it's real!? Retrieved from my memory!?
But when they saw the details, everyone's eyes widened in amazement!

Professor Cao Zhigang's words were not yet finished:
"With my strength, I'd probably just be a nobody on the dark battlefield."

He then added, "Actually, before the Battle of Zhuolu, there was also a war between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor's tribes, but according to the scriptures..."

Then, he clicked the mouse to turn the page back.

This turn of events elicited a sigh from the class.

He flipped it back: "If you want to see it in detail, take your own picture."

Thirty-one people pulled out their phones in unison, and the clicking of cameras filled the air.

Then, Cao Zhigang switched to the next slide of the PPT. This slide was a short video that played on a loop. It was a topographical map from an overhead perspective, with numbers changing on it and the blue color on the map receding.

"Based on our current level of technology, we can analyze that around 4,700 years ago, a huge change in the natural environment occurred, with rising temperatures, melting glaciers, and alternating periods of drought and heavy rain."

"This may be the trace left on Earth by that great war."

Upon hearing this, several gasps of astonishment filled the classroom.

Leaving a trace on Earth? That would require terrifying power!
Four thousand seven hundred years ago... were humans really that powerful back then?

Thinking back to that battlefield filled with all sorts of strange beasts and inhuman creatures, I still feel terrified and shocked.

No wonder it's called the Age of Myths...

With Teacher Cao Zhigang's Class A Level 4 strength, he'd only be a lowly soldier if he went in...

I wonder what kind of power the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the demon-god-like Chi You possessed.
Can the only four top-tier players in the Dragon Kingdom reach that level?

Cao Zhigang's voice continued to come:

"War is the best medium through which we can understand the level of production and average strength at that time."

"The Battle of Zhuolu..."

"It is a microcosm of the mythological era."

"And we are gradually unveiling the mysteries of human history."

"Our era of awakening memory..."

"It's moving closer to the mythological era!"
