Hunting God Era

Chapter 49 I won't participate if you pay me.

When Li Ye was brought back, there were already many classmates waiting at the entrance.

Everyone looked on with curiosity when they saw him being brought back in a military mountain bike.

Deng Hao and Jia Dong went to meet him. The latter glanced at Yang Jie, whose arm was restrained, and asked, "Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

"It's just a demon, nothing serious."

As Li Ye spoke, he looked at everyone and asked, "Why are you all here? Did you get back so quickly?"

"It's all thanks to you!"

As Yao Ledan approached, she heard this and said irritably, "With you, Li Dajingang, taking action, how can ordinary people like us survive? We can't even find a single demon. We can only come back to rest. Getting bitten by insects in the mountains is nothing compared to staying in the car."

Do they want to come back?

Two hours earlier, they couldn't find any demons at all, and could only occasionally see Li Ye parading in the air, with air swirling around his feet.

What's the point of fighting now?

They readily gave up the search for the demon and returned to wait obediently.

After that, Gu Yang started making phone calls one by one, and with the drone providing instructions, he managed to bring back the remaining few who were still unwilling to give up.

As Yao Ledan was speaking, the soldier who brought them said a few words to Gu Yang and then drove away.

Gu Yang looked at Li Ye with a helpless expression, clapped his hands, and said to his classmates who were still outside the bus, "Alright, that's all for today. It's getting late, let's go back first."

The group headed to the bus, which drove off the mountain road and onto the school. By the time they arrived, it was already late. Li Ye changed into a spare school uniform inside the venue before returning home.

When I got home, my parents were already there.

"how is everything?"

Upon seeing Li Ye, Li Haihua hurriedly asked, "Was today your martial arts training? How did it go?"

Liu Qingxia chimed in, "Was it dangerous? Were you injured?"

They had heard Li Ye talk about the martial arts students' training before, and had even gone to learn about it. Of course, they were very worried about this kind of training, which had a chance of killing people and a high probability of being injured.

"It's just about fighting some specially prepared demons to hone your skills and gain experience; it's not dangerous."

Li Ye washed his hands briefly, then sat down at the table, took out his own five-flavor chopsticks, and began to eat.

They received a lot of ingredients from the disinfection bureau, and Li Ye would cook some every time he went home, in addition to the ingredients they bought themselves.

No matter how much he emphasized it, his parents would still buy some things. After Li Ye tried to persuade them but found it useless, he simply let them have their way. The current expenses were manageable, and since he had a salary, he wasn't in a tight spot.

Li Ye no longer felt that the 200,000 debt was a problem; he could ask him tomorrow how the items he obtained at the training points were valued.

After finishing his meal, Li Ye washed up and went to his room to sleep.

After he reached the Three Dragon Gates, there was no need to practice any more moves. He was already quite proficient. Normal training was not as effective as the training sessions, because the training sessions involved really going all out.

He felt very comfortable during today's battle at Longshan.

That's how it should be. With authority, this is how battles should be fought. The feeling of annihilating enemies with a mere wave of his hand gave him great satisfaction.

This reminded Li Ye of the painting in Pan Zhengyang's office; he wondered when he could become like that.
The next day, Li Ye arrived at the school early, and as soon as he got to the venue, Gu Yang, who had been waiting for him, called him to his office.

"Li Ye"

He asked Li Ye to sit down, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Let me tell you about the division first. In your training yesterday, you annihilated a total of 84 demons, plus one that was not of standard quality. Let's forget about the surveillance team; you've already made contact with it and know it was the military."

"The military suggested giving you more points, and after considering it, the school, along with your actions of recognizing the demon and rescuing your classmates, will round it up to 100 points."

"As for the score, let me change it for you. If you just convert it to money, it's 5,000 per point. Since you're a key player, you'll get a 10% premium, so it'll be 5,500. Because they're all corpses, I can't calculate it based on the value of a living creature. I know you sold a live Green Bamboo Dart Mantis to Yao Ledan, which was better than selling it to the school, but we don't prohibit selling them privately, so it's fine."

"One point can be exchanged for a nutritional supplement. If you want other high-quality ingredients, you can ask the school to get them for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye looked surprised. "So many?"

If it's 100 points, then he must have earned 550,000 yuan yesterday.
Is training really that lucrative?!
"Actually, it's alright. No matter what kind of demon you kill at the training point, whether it's an armored boar or a green bamboo dart mantis, there will definitely be a difference in value between the two. But if it's a corpse, it's all counted as 1 point. To some extent, the school definitely makes money."

The monsters at the training points are different, some valuable and some not. That's why the school's price is fair, since it's based on scores anyway.

Gu Yang still felt a bit emotional. He had been instructing martial arts students for over ten years, and while there were those who took the path of breaking through barriers, very few were as ruthless as Li Ye.

Xiang Feipeng also follows the path of breaking through barriers. He's usually so arrogant, but when he goes to a training ground, he only scores a dozen points at most, which doesn't have much impact on the others. After all, finding demons takes time.

Normal martial arts students at No. 14 Middle School are mostly at the first to third level of the martial arts training program, with the third level being considered rare. If they go out to train, they're lucky if they can wear down two opponents in a day.

Moreover, he doesn't go to training sessions every day. As the instructor, he also pays attention to the students' rest intervals, allowing them to digest the martial arts and improve their qi and blood in between.

The duration of each training session is quite long.

Thinking this, he sighed. "You cleared out the training points and ended them early, which is why I came to you. I wanted to make a deal: could you be a little more careful with the training points in the future? The school's training points aren't ATMs; they're meant for students to use for training."

The training points were created because these natural monsters would proliferate in natural resource areas such as mountains, forests, lakes, and ponds. However, considering the ecology, it was impossible to completely eliminate them, and regular removal would be time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, the students were assigned to this task.

The students' pace is perfectly aligned with the rate at which demons are born at the training points, creating a positive cycle that also helps develop the students' abilities—a win-win situation.

Over time, it gradually developed into a rule.

However, in the past, the mortality rate of martial arts students was quite high. But in recent years, technology has become more advanced, and we have the power to control the number of these demons. So, it has gradually become a matter of deliberately releasing demons for students to train.

The training points provide comprehensive training, from knowledge and tracking to reaction and martial arts skills, including teamwork and individual courage, all of which are developed through experience.

But now Li Ye has ruined it.

The others did not serve any purpose in gaining experience.

In terms of martial arts, Li Ye's defeat of Xiang Feipeng was alright; it just shows that he was skilled in martial arts and perhaps good at explosive attacks. But to be able to wipe out a training point by himself was truly terrifying.

Only Fu Chuxue, who was invited from No. 14 Middle School, could do this, so she did not participate in the training.

Now there's another one, Li Ye.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye said, "I also completed my training through my own efforts. If you ask me to stop, who will make up for the part I'm missing? I also lack cultivation resources. Teacher Gu, you probably don't know that my family is just an ordinary family. I have reached this level entirely through my own efforts."

It's not that we can't give up the training points, but the premise is that it can't harm his interests.

He also needs to cultivate, so he won't give up even a little bit.

"Okay, I knew you wouldn't agree, so let's come up with a second option."

Gu Yang rubbed his temples. "For students like you, who have progressed quite far on the path to breakthrough and are assumed to no longer need further training, the school has another solution."

"After discussing it last night, the school has made a special exception for you, allowing you to skip the training. In return, we will give you an additional 400 points for each training session, based on your current score. How does that sound?"

"Is that okay?" Li Ye said.

“There are precedents for students like you. You don’t have to participate in anything except the martial arts competition. If you do achieve good results in the martial arts competition, the reward will be extra and guaranteed to be generous.”

With this level of skill, participating in a martial arts competition is definitely not a problem.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering for a moment, and then he raised his head, "That's not right, is it? I remember this Longshan training site started before summer vacation and usually ends before the martial arts competition."

"Next week, there's the district martial arts competition in September, the city martial arts competition in December, and the provincial martial arts competition in April. After all that training, it'll be summer vacation. The training in Longshan was also chosen in April. Even without the two-month summer vacation, there's still plenty of time for training."

"The training ended early, but there are still more than 80 points left. If you look carefully, there should be some left, so it's reasonable to give it 100 points. But what about May and June? It can't be less than a week's worth of time, right? I'll give it 200 points a month, okay? All things considered, you can't give me 400 points."

Li Ye held up two fingers. "I don't want anything else. Give me 600 doses of nutrient solution and 300,000 yuan for each training session, and I won't participate."

Having settled the accounts, Li Ye felt emboldened.

As for being fired.
Stop it.

Li Ye isn't a real seventeen or eighteen-year-old student; he'd be intimidated. He has powerful backers.

Moreover, getting 100 points in a day is not his limit, but the limit of the number of demons he has trained. If he were to start from scratch, he could still get it in a day.

If word gets out that he's a great player, even if No. 14 Middle School doesn't want him, plenty of other schools will.

Besides, according to the rules, it's what he deserves anyway, so why should he give it up?

Moreover, he only needs nutritional supplements, which shouldn't be that difficult for the school to obtain. As for 300,000 points, 600 points is 3 million. He is a key player, so with a 10% premium, 300,000 is well-deserved.

There wasn't a single penny he shouldn't have taken.

Reasonable and fair.
