Lottery! Space Equipment!

Chu Han turned down Zhao Feiyu's invitation to dinner and left the martial arts hall directly.

He went to the warrior commercial district and bought himself a set of wilderness combat gear worth 8,000 units of Federal currency.

He also bought a month's worth of therapeutic fluid and various medicines for his father.

When he returned home, his mother had not yet gotten off work.

Chu Han bought quite a few ingredients downstairs, then took out the C-grade Spirit Rice from his space and cooked a pot.

Today, their family was going to improve their meals as well.

When his parents saw the Spirit Rice he had cooked, they were both stunned.

Chu Han had no choice but to explain that he had earned money by helping someone cultivate that day, and that the Spirit Rice had been given to him by the other party.

Only then did his parents reluctantly accept it.

Early the next morning, Chu Han conducted his lottery as usual.

His luck was only average this time, however, and he won just 10,000 units of Federal currency.

Afterward, he went to the Warhammer Martial Arts Hall to cultivate.

He consumed two Body Tempering Pills that day, and his strength increased by 800 jin.

His one-arm strength reached 2,600 jin, far exceeding the minimum requirement for a warrior.

But he felt that his body was still far from reaching its limit, and he remained a long way from cultivating a technique.

This was also a sign of his solid foundation.

On the third day.

After getting up in the morning, Chu Han conducted another lottery.

"Today is the day we're heading to the Wilderness Training Camp. I hope my luck will be a little better and I'll draw something good."

As the lottery wheel began to spin, Chu Han started praying incessantly.

Ding! Congratulations, you have won ×1 C-grade space ring.

Space ring: A spatial piece of equipment containing 1,000 cubic meters of space. Its length, width, and height are each 10 meters.

"Holy crap! I hit the jackpot!"

"My luck is freaking amazing!"

After seeing the information in his mind, Chu Han immediately shot up from the bed, nearly smashing through the ceiling above him.

This was spatial equipment!

If one were to ask what was most expensive in this world, spatial equipment would definitely rank among the top!

Even an F-grade space equipment with only one cubic meter of storage was worth a million! And it was still impossible to buy even if one had the money!

Ordinary people had only heard of such equipment and rarely saw it in real life.

Even genuine warriors found it difficult to own the lowest-grade spatial equipment.

How could this not excite him?

Although he also had the Lottery Space, it could only store items obtained from the lottery. Other items simply could not be put inside.

Now that he had a space ring, things would be much more convenient.

"Xiaohan, what happened?"

His mother's voice came from outside.

Chu Han hurriedly made up an excuse. "I was just too absorbed in cultivating. Nothing happened."

"Then be careful. Don't overdo it."

After reassuring his mother, Chu Han immediately took out the space ring and put it on.

In an instant, he felt his consciousness connect with the space inside the ring.

With a thought, the set of combat gear beside his bed was collected into the ring's space.

His consciousness could see the combat gear inside, as well as the structure of the entire space.

"It really is convenient!"

Chu Han was overjoyed.

During the upcoming Wilderness Training Camp, he would be able to use the space ring to collect even more materials.

"Next, it's time to head to school."

Jiang City Third Middle School, athletic field.

The students participating in the Wilderness Training Camp gathered there. Most of them wore brand-new combat gear, their expressions both nervous and excited.

Among them, Li Mengran, who had awakened an A-rank talent, was naturally the focus of everyone's attention—a favored daughter of heaven.

She was surrounded by teachers and school leaders, who repeatedly offered her reminders and placed great hopes on her.

Li Mengran stood proudly, her temperament cool and aloof, as if she had already grown accustomed to her current role.

Compliments were everywhere, flattery at every turn.

It was only after Chu Han appeared that some of the radiance surrounding her was drawn away.

Chu Han wore a black combat suit, with the Fine Steel Long Blade and a tactical backpack strapped to his back. His figure was tall and straight, his steps steady.

His eyes were calm, and the heavy, composed aura radiating from him was not the slightest bit weaker than that of the students who had already awakened their talents. He even seemed more like a true warrior.

"Gasp! Chu Han? His aura is so powerful. It doesn't look fake, either!"

"Tch, what else can he do? He may lose the battle, but he can't lose face. Even if he knows he's trash, he still has to put on a show, right?"

"True. What use is looking the part without any talent? Out in the wilderness, you have to fight for your life with real blades and guns."

"Don't forget, he defeated Sun Liqiang, who had a B-rank talent. Quite a few people saw it."

"People's strength fluctuates right after awakening. You can't seriously believe he defeated a talent holder, can you?"

Chu Han's arrival immediately made him the focus of the entire field, and skeptical voices rose without end.

The school leaders also saw him, but merely frowned slightly and paid him no further attention. Their minds were entirely occupied with Li Mengran and the other prodigies.

Li Mengran only glanced at Chu Han indifferently before quickly turning her head away in disdain.

In her eyes, Chu Han was merely putting on a show.

Only his homeroom teacher, Wang Hao, saw Chu Han's utterly transformed spirit and vigor. A trace of imperceptible approval and relief flashed through his eyes.

He could tell that Chu Han had not sunk into despair. The resolve in his eyes was even stronger than before!

Regardless of the outcome, this mindset alone deserved recognition.

He still believed that Chu Han was the finest student he had ever taught, even without any talent.

Everyone boarded the armored bus arranged by the school. After a bumpy journey, they arrived at the wilderness supply base outside River City.

Tall alloy walls towered within the base, covered with energy weapons and firing ports.

Soldiers in standard military uniforms patrolled and stood guard atop the walls, their auras sharp and seasoned.

Inside, the base resembled a fully equipped small town, with supply stores, weapons shops, medical stations, a mission hall, and even a trading market.

Many dust-covered warrior teams came and went, either resting and replenishing supplies or trading materials hunted in the wilderness. A faint smell of blood and an air of grim slaughter permeated the surroundings.

This was the front line where humanity fought the mutated beasts.

The students looked around with curiosity and nervousness, feeling an atmosphere completely different from that of the school.

Quite a few sensed the smell of blood in the air, and the excitement on their faces vanished.

Some students with weaker mental fortitude even began to feel fear and unease.

That sort of mindset was fatal in the wilderness.

At that moment, the principal approached alongside an officer.

The principal spoke first. "Students, for this Wilderness Training Camp, the school and the base's Military Headquarters have prepared generous rewards. The top few students may even receive martial techniques and pills! So bring out your best condition and fight seriously!"

As soon as the principal finished speaking, cheers erupted from the platform.

Everyone loved activities with rewards.

The officer then said sternly, "Quiet! Here, there are no students, only soldiers. You must obey our arrangements in everything! There are several points you must remember!"

"First, you may only operate around the outskirts of Black Stone Mountain. Going deeper is strictly forbidden. Turn back immediately when you see a sign marking a danger zone!"

"Second, you absolutely must not act alone. You must form teams and look after one another."

"Third, after hunting mutated beasts, you only need to collect materials representing their characteristics for them to count toward your score. You all learned about the characteristics of various low-level mutated beasts in your textbooks, so I won't explain them."

"Fourth, if you encounter danger, you can fire the signal gun in your hand, and we will rescue you quickly. Don't try to show off!"

"Once you've decided on your team members, you can enter the wilderness in succession!"

After the officer finished speaking, the students quickly formed teams of four or five.

Li Mengran was naturally fought over by everyone, while Sun Liqiang also formed a team with several followers.

Only Chu Han was left unwanted. No one was willing to take a "burden" along on an adventure.

Chu Han's expression remained calm. He had already planned to act alone, which would make it more convenient for him to move freely.

"No! The rules require teams. Acting alone is too dangerous. It absolutely cannot be allowed!"

The officer responsible for counting the students sternly rejected his request.

Chu Han frowned slightly. He found people who rigidly clung to rules like this extremely troublesome.

If it really came down to it, he would have to reveal a little of his strength.
