Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 585: Plan
Not long after, a car drove up. He opened the passenger door and got in. After closing the door, he greeted Cheng Zitong in the driver's seat, saying, "Good morning, Teacher."
Cheng Zitong looked at him for a while, hesitated, and asked, "Finished the exam?"
Chen Chuan nodded, took out the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit from his pocket, and handed it to Cheng Zitong , "The permit is here." The latter quickly took off his sunglasses, carefully took it, looked at it repeatedly, and finally confirmed, "It really is, you student, sigh, you student always gives Teacher surprises."
Chen Chuan looked at Cheng Zitong , thinking to himself, Teacher, it's good if it's not a scare.
Cheng Zitong handed the defense permit back, reminding him, "Keep it safe, don't lose it." But he still felt a little incredible, and asked, "Tell me, how did it go so fast?"
Chen Chuan said modestly, "Maybe it's because I went early."
He recounted the key points of the incident, since it lasted a total of two days.
After listening, Cheng Zitong leaned back in his seat, his eyes unfocused, as if digesting the information. After a while, he looked ahead and said:
"This time, to avoid acquaintances, I, Teacher, specifically went to a remote place. Not long after settling down, I received your call. I, Teacher, rushed back overnight, thinking you had encountered some problem.
Don't blame Teacher for being anxious. The people from the school who left to take the Level C Certificate will probably be back in a month or two. You, taking the Level B Certificate, actually came back first? If Teacher didn't know Little Chuan was reliable, Teacher would have suspected you didn't really go."
Speaking of which, he couldn't help but laugh, patted the steering wheel, and exclaimed, "That's great, that's great."
After a while, he sat up straight and looked at Chen Chuan saying, "We, teacher and student, need to align our stories, so we don't make mistakes when speaking. Getting the permit in the first year, you have the opportunity to get a place to go to Central City."
Chen Chuan nodded.
Cheng Zitong then unified the story with him. His mood was very high, because he was genuinely happy. This was a student he had personally taught. He had watched Chen Chuan go from a student who basically didn't understand anything to now obtaining the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit, step by step.
He was sincerely happy for his student, and also had a sense of pride and accomplishment as a teacher. As a teacher, what could be happier than seeing his student achieve something?
Finally, he reminded him, "But don't rush. You're still a month short of completing a year at Wuyi Academy, and applying to go to Central City also requires a process, so there's not enough time. After this semester, when you're in the second year, Teacher will carefully consider this matter with you."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Although I also want to go to Central City as soon as possible, I'm not fully prepared yet. I'll try to improve myself in the next few months."
At this point, Cheng Zitong started the car, "Haven't had breakfast yet? Let's go, Teacher will take you to have a good meal, as a celebration for getting your defense permit."
Chen Chuan followed Cheng Zitong for a hearty breakfast, and then the teacher and student returned to school together.
Their return was uneventful, not attracting much attention, seemingly just like usual. But both of them knew that some things were actually different.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Chuan first took a shower. Before organizing his things, he went to the living room, picked up the telephone, and first called Gao Ming .
After connecting, he said, "Hello, Gao Ming, it's me."
Gao Ming's voice came out, "Cousin, aren't you following your teacher to cultivation?"
Chen Chuan slowly said, "Because the cultivation has been successful, the process was very smooth, so I'm back now."
This was a code word. He and Gao Ming had agreed to use "cultivation success" to replace "Unlimited Self-Defense Permit." Now, saying this meant that he had obtained it.
There was a brief pause on Gao Ming's side, then he said in a seemingly calm tone, "Then I must congratulate you, cousin."
Chen Chuan said, "Gao Ming, we'll talk about things when you get back."
"Okay, cousin."
Gao Ming's voice carried a hint of barely noticeable excitement, "It's been a long time since I've visited Aunt and Uncle, I should take advantage of your summer vacation to visit."
With a click, both of them hung up the phone simultaneously.
Both of them knew that now that he had successfully obtained the unlimited defense, the next step was to plan how to enter Central City and how to compete for that spot.
At this time, in Wubian City, more than 300 kilometers away from Yangzhi City, Wei Jun was pondering the content of the exam. This time, these examination students were required to deal with a group of death row prisoners.
These prisoners would be placed in the wilderness before the exam and given some water, food, and weapons, requiring them to capture or kill the prisoners within a specified time.
This exam was not difficult for him, because he would buy the specific information of the prisoners from the guards who watched over them in advance, and could also use manpower to help him track them. In the end, he only needed to finish them off. Moreover, he carried firearms, so in the end, he would probably just shoot a few times.
Successfully obtaining a Level C Unlimited Self-Defense Permit shouldn't be a problem. Although the two-year validity period made him a little unhappy, after graduating, he could continue training for a year or two and then get a Level B Certificate.
None of the recommended students in the school could compete with him in the same period. After graduating next month, he could go to Central City, where there were more complete training methods, more resources, and better guidance. He could also expand his network to prepare for entering the company served by the family.
But at this time, he needed to check again to avoid any accidents.
Last time, Shen Zheng almost had the qualification to be recommended to Central City because he obtained the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit, and at that time, none of the students in the entire school were his opponents. The quota of a certain senior was almost squeezed out. Fortunately...
But because of Shen Zheng's precedent, they attached great importance to this matter and would never allow another student to take the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit exam without their arrangement! They must nip this in the bud!
He called the butler over and instructed, "Teacher Tan said that I could only go to Central City after I had cultivated pile strength. I'm almost done now. I'm about to get the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit, but there must be no accidents in the last step. Help me check if any students have been out recently."
The butler said confidently, "Young Master, I have been watching this matter. I have detailed records."
Wei Jun said, "Bring it to me and I'll take a look."
The butler said yes, went back and flipped through it, and then came back and respectfully handed over a data.
"Since the beginning of the semester, these are the people who have left the school in the past few months. The approximate departure time of each person is recorded."
Wei Jun took it and flipped through it. He first looked at the third-year students, but he also knew that the Mutual Aid Society suppressed the more outstanding civilian students in the third year if they could be suppressed, and absorbed them if they could be absorbed. All were under their control, and now almost none were disobedient, so he glanced at them a few times and skipped them.
He mainly looked at the second-year students, because this grade also had the qualification to take the exam. Especially this time, he met some power scions from other cities, who were also like him and had hopes of going to Central City, and exchanged information with each other.
He heard one thing from these people. It is said that last year, a second-year civilian student in Guanbi City who had a Weapon Permit went to take the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit alone, and with this student's strength, passing was almost no problem, but the news could not be concealed and was dealt with on the road.
It seems that his limbs were broken and poured with cement and sunk in the lake? He didn't know if it was true or false. If it was true, Wei Jun could only say that they were bold, because doing so had the suspicion of provoking the Review Committee and had great sequelae.
Although as long as they didn't do it themselves, it was difficult to involve them, the company behind them might be targeted by the higher-ups.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about this problem now. Among the second-year students in Wuyi Academy, the most talented is Geng Zheng , who initially refused to join the Mutual Aid Society, but was eventually pulled in by them, because the medicine for Geng Zheng's family's illness was taken from Central City, and only they could provide it, so he was not afraid that he would not listen honestly.
After turning over the second-year students, when looking at the first-year students, he didn't care much, because these students could hardly pose a threat to him.
But since he had flipped through them all, he took a few more glances.
Among the first-year students, the most talented is undoubtedly Chen Chuan . Defeating Zhong Wu , this good dog, during the entrance exam also impressed him. Even him moving out of the Academy seemed to be related to it, and the key was that he had not joined the Mutual Aid Society.
He noticed that Chen Chuan's whereabouts seemed a little uncertain, frowned, pointed and asked, "What's going on with this Chen Chuan? Has he been out of school all the time?"
The butler respectfully replied, "Young Master, we have checked. Although this student is often not in the Academy, the longest time he has been away is seven or eight days. We can confirm that he is in a training hall south of the city, cultivating with Supervisor Cheng. He also went out recently, but returned to school yesterday, probably to impart some unique skills."
After listening, Wei Jun didn't care much, "Alright, you can go down. I need to prepare for the next examination."
Two miles away from his luxurious hotel, Deng Fu , Tai Dongwei , and Geng Zheng were arranged in the same dormitory.
They also learned about the content of the exam, and felt that the difficulty of the exam was indeed a bit, but if they went all out, it should not be difficult to pass.
But they had to give up.
And this abandonment also meant that they would have no more opportunities to examine for a defense permit in the future.
Tai Dongwei didn't know what Deng Fu and Geng Zheng were thinking. As for himself, although he had said earlier that he didn't care, there was still a hint of discomfort in his heart when he really had to give up.
He thought to himself that perhaps he hadn't really let go completely.
He sighed inwardly, but this is how the world is, and he can't change anything.
He looked at Geng Zheng sitting there. This kid looked like he was unconvinced, maybe he would come up with something.
Only Deng Fu , who was sitting half-lying on the bed, enjoying a book of stories, seemed the most relaxed. Tai Dongwei thought that this guy had probably figured it out a long time ago. Because he didn't care about anything, he didn't feel any loss, but felt that he had made a profit.
Deng Fu was very perceptive, noticed his gaze, glanced at him, smiled playfully, and looked at Geng Zheng . Seeing the latter's silent appearance, he smiled, put away the storybook, and said, "Little brother, what's wrong, still thinking about it?
Let me, your senior, teach you a lesson today. Don't fight for temporary gains and losses. What is temporary humiliation? Don't be angry with yourself. You have a long way to go. As long as you work hard to live, I tell you, you can see all kinds of strange things. The host and guest change places, and the top and bottom are reversed. It is not impossible."
Tai Dongwei's mind suddenly moved.
Geng Zheng couldn't help but say, "Are you saying?"
Deng Fu smiled and said, "I'm telling you to work hard to live longer, nothing else." Saying that, he put his arm behind his head again and picked up the book to read.
