CHAPTER 922: CHAPTER 898: COMPLAINTS

"Oh, Xiao Xiao, you actually brought baozi. Why didn’t you say anything on the bus yesterday? I ended up eating all sorts of random stuff. Baozi tastes way better than bread and cookies. I insist on having one, I’ll trade my cookies for your baozi."

Bai Xiao unceremoniously snatched the lunchbox and stuffed her cookies into Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hands.

She hugged the lunchbox and shoved a baozi into her mouth.

"Wow, Xiao Xiao, how is this baozi still warm? This must be a thermal lunchbox from your home."

Bai Xiao was talking to herself while Jiang Xiaoxiao just felt exasperated.

This girl is such a chatterbox. She’s been talking non-stop since yesterday.

Wu Yang leaned over, grabbed a baozi from the lunchbox, took a bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"This baozi is really delicious."

He ignored the cookies and sausages in his hands and handed them all over to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

He began to compete with Bai Xiao over the baozi in the lunchbox. There were only about seven or eight baozi, and after the two of them scrambled for it, there were almost none left.

But the aroma of the meat filling quickly spread, attracting the curiosity of the surrounding classmates.

After all, many people didn’t bring any food.

In such a large group, there are as many as 60 new students reporting here.

Probably only a few brought food, the rest were left with empty stomachs.

Jiang Xiaoxiao believed that others likely had the same experience as them, the journey couldn’t have been different.

Everyone had been traveling for a whole day and night, and combined with this morning, everyone was famished.

You could see their eyes were not quite right.

After eating and drinking to their fill, the sun was still overhead, but they couldn’t just stop walking.

Gradually, people began to get up and continue their journey, and after resting for a while, they also set off again.

Resting was a must, as Bai Xiao looked like such a pampered child.

Sitting there, she would say her feet hurt one moment, and her hands the next, but no matter how much it hurt, she had to keep walking. They couldn’t just stay by the roadside forever.

Seeing that almost everyone else had left, with only the three of them remaining, Bai Xiao finally, prompted by Jiang Xiaoxiao’s persuasion, picked up her suitcase, and the three of them continued to follow the main group.

The sky was already dark, and they looked at the desolate forested mountains.

They were really at their wits’ end, only now realizing that the teachers handling their reports didn’t care at all, just how big was this mountain anyway?

They were still at the foot of the mountain and hadn’t even crossed it.

Students were sprawled all over, some leaning against trees, others sitting by the roadside in the grass, utterly dejected.

Bai Xiao and Wu Yang were also dejected now, especially Bai Xiao.

She had carried so much luggage for such a long distance and thought she could finally sleep comfortably in the dorm tonight.

But now, they were still in the wilderness and hadn’t even gone over the mountain.

They had been walking the entire day, hadn’t even ascended the mountain, let alone the steeper mountain paths.

At this rate, it could take several days and nights to reach the school.

Bai Xiao was tempted to just throw away her luggage, and indeed she did so.

She discarded all the unnecessary things from her luggage, otherwise, who knows how far they’d have to walk with so much to carry, it was pure torture. But now, she didn’t even have anything to eat. No matter how much food her parents packed, they couldn’t fit it into a suitcase, at most a few packets to snack on along the way.

Now, after distributing some food, there was basically nothing left.

Bai Xiao was so tired she wanted to collapse, but the problem was that even if she wanted to sleep, she couldn’t.

There were plenty of mosquitoes buzzing around their ears, all coming out now, persistently biting them.

Bai Xiao felt like crying.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked around; now that the mosquitoes were out, it was unbearable, especially with the heat. Continuing like this was not feasible.

If they didn’t rest well today, they still had to keep going tomorrow, and at this rate, they might not even reach the school by tomorrow.

It could take days to reach school, and along the way, they had to solve the issues of food, drink, and shelter.

First and foremost was to settle eating, drinking, and resting, because without proper rest, they might collapse in two days’ time.

Now she could finally see that the school must have planned this challenge for everyone to test their patience and adaptability.

"What a mess, what on earth are the leaders at the Medicine God Association thinking? We are pharmacists, doctors, and this is how they treat medical students who come here?

There’s no food or water, as if crying out to heaven and earth, but neither is answered. There’s not even a teacher to guide us along, it’s as if they are deliberately making things hard for us pharmacists."

Wu Yang listed several grievances against the Medicine God Association.

"Exactly! We clearly came here to study medicine. Now we are in this situation, and no one is in charge. It truly feels like the Medicine God Association is deliberately putting us through this, hoping we don’t show up for school."

Others expressed their discontent too.

In everyone’s mind, they imagined it would be like going to a regular prestigious school, especially a school associated with the Medicine God Association, which was supposed to be top-tier.

They thought the school would naturally have grand educational buildings and well-equipped dormitories, given West City’s development.

It was ahead of not just neighboring countries, but globally advanced. A school here, especially the well-renowned Medicine God Association, couldn’t be just any ordinary institution, right?

The spacious, bright dormitories should have air conditioning with soft beds, clean bookshelves, and wardrobes, and the cafeteria should have various exquisite meals.

There should also be kind professors teaching them with care; this was everyone’s ideal image of what a school should be.

But now, with no trace of a decent school, just looking at the mountain roads made them doubt what good could come of a school deep in the mountains.

Even if well-equipped, how advanced could it be?

Everyone was simply overwhelmed with complaints.

"Wu Yang, do me a favor, let’s go gather some firewood together to start a fire."

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t pay attention to these complaints.

Different people see things differently. From her perspective, considering the Medicine God Association’s long-standing reputation for training pharmacists, their teaching method must have its unique approach.

Besides, the Medicine God Association aims to cultivate top-notch talent, they wouldn’t do such things without reason, there must be a deeper meaning.

Since they did, everyone has no choice but to adapt to the environment they are faced with.

Complaining doesn’t solve any problem.

Complaining won’t ensure you reach the school smoothly either.

Instead of that, why not strive to live better and more comfortably in such an environment?

Eat well, drink well, rest well.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had previously managed at a harsh educated youth farm, so how could this be tougher?

Just get on with it.
