"Marine resources are mainly divided into four major categories: mineral resources, biological resources, chemical resources, and energy resources. The first two are the most commonly used, but the latter two are also essential subjects. The ocean of a normal Life Star System is generally vast, which results in major differences in resource distribution. Take mineral resources, for example. You might think that a low-magic region would not contain high-level magical ores, but in certain places, unique natural environments can still produce such minerals. To determine this, you have to study Ocean Chemical Element Identification and judge what might emerge in a location by identifying the distribution of elements in that marine region."
"Perhaps the previous sea region had nothing at all, while the next one might produce high-grade ores or advanced lifeforms because its elemental structure was different. This is extremely important, which is why Ocean Element Class will be the first basic common-knowledge course that we collectors must learn. Next, I'll explain the nine basic aspects of common knowledge between low magic and high magic..."
In a classroom in Third City, a group of students listened attentively to their instructor. Their expressions were utterly serious, even more focused than they had been before the college entrance examination.
The reason for their seriousness was simple. Life Skill classes were expensive knowledge courses, with basic tuition starting at over ten thousand points. Among the gathering-related subjects, Ocean Resource Gathering was the most expensive. Thinking about their enormous loans, ordinary people simply couldn't afford to slack off.
There were exceptions, though. Comrade Chen Shanshan looked utterly listless, as if she could fall asleep at any moment...
Whenever the instructor glanced over, the corner of his eye twitched uncontrollably...
