On Li Yi's right, in the first few rows, someone was also shouting loudly:
"Instructor, I haven't regressed. All my data is still maintained very well, why do I also have to withdraw from the training camp?"
Chen Qiong Zhi said lightly:
"Lin Dongwang, we are safely supported by the power of all humanity and exclusively possess the Divine Mech. Not progressing is regressing. How many times have I reiterated this, why do you repeatedly defy it?"
Lin Dongwang immediately fell silent.
On the other side, a woman with a good appearance also pleaded:
"Instructor, I have missions to carry out in these two months and have less free time, which is why I haven't progressed. Could you please be lenient?"
Chen Qiong Zhi glanced at the woman and shook her head:
"I just took the time to check your mission records. They are basically all affiliated missions arranged internally by your He family, used to brush for merit points. In reality, you have plenty of time to complete personal training, don't you?"
As soon as she said this, the woman fell silent.
Chen Qiong Zhi clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes:
"You can still leave with dignity now. Within 30 seconds, if you don't disappear, don't blame me for taking action personally."
The three gave up struggling and left with heavy steps.
"Now, everyone else, form up and re-enter the gravity chamber!"
"Each person must complete at least three rounds of physical training per day before starting mech training!"
The crowd lamented but could only grit their teeth and persevere.
In the blink of an eye, the morning training session passed.
Li Yi arrived at the cafeteria.
"Let me tell you, based on the intelligence I've gathered, most of the food in the cafeteria is mass-produced pre-made meals. Only one meat dish is freshly killed and cooked. You need to be prepared for a scramble."
The person speaking next to Li Yi was named Cai Xiaodong, and he was standing to Li Yi's right.
After the gravity training in the morning, the two had basically become familiar with each other.
According to Li Yi's understanding, Cai Xiaodong was among the top ten newcomers on Saitan Star last year. He ranked fourth at that time, just missing out on a spot in the Special Selection Class last year.
He had to wait until this year to enter this batch.
Currently, Cai Xiaodong could sustain the activation of his divinity for about 1 minute, which was only one step away from becoming an evolved individual.
"By the way, do you know why everyone got so excited when the instructor mentioned the exploration plan for the ancient civilization ruins?"
Li Yi was no longer interested in which meals in the cafeteria were pre-made and which were freshly cooked, so he changed the subject.
"You don't even know?"
"I really don't. I was hoping you could enlighten me."
Cai Xiaodong looked at Li Yi with surprise:
"I saw someone on the internal network saying you came from the Humble Clan. I didn't believe it at first. With your strong fighting skills, how could you have developed them without systematic training from childhood? Now that you can ask this question, I have to believe it."
"You say, is there a possibility that precisely because I am from the Humble Clan, I could develop a flavor that the Righteous Clan cannot?"
"Hahaha, I still think it's highly unlikely... Of course, you are from the Humble Clan on Mars. I've only seen the Humble Clan on Saitan Star. It's normal for there to be differences."
Cai Xiaodong touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Let's put that question aside for now. Tell me about the benefits of the ancient civilization ruins."
Li Yi was too lazy to argue.
"It's very simple. Most of our Divine Mechs were excavated from ancient civilization ruins. You know this, right?"
Li Yi nodded.
Cai Xiaodong continued, "Then, do you know that Divine Mechs can absorb surplus divinity in ancient civilization ruins to upgrade?"
Li Yi was somewhat surprised:
"Divine Mechs can also upgrade?"
"That's right. This is not a secret among the Righteous Clan. All the ancient civilization ruins discovered within our Star Imperium Federation can basically yield Divine Mechs. Their manufacturing processes and internal principles are all similar, so scholars unanimously agree that these ancient civilization ruins originated from the same great civilization."
"Therefore, any of our Divine Mechs can travel to any undeveloped ancient civilization ruin and absorb surplus divinity."
"Some Divine Mechs were even originally S-class or A-class, but due to a long-term lack of divinity, they gradually downgraded to lower-class Divine Mechs."
"For example, the Pluto Mech you pilot, many people say it was very likely originally an A-class Divine Mech."
Li Yi was greatly astonished: "What makes you say that?"
"Because you are from the Celestial God Series, right? Most of the Celestial God Series currently existing in our Star Imperium Federation are A-class or B-class. D-class is actually rare."
Li Yi listened with emotion.
It seemed Chen Qiong Zhi was right. Besides being able to fight, he also needed to learn some professional knowledge.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what opportunities were available in his future growth.
While they spoke, the two had already gotten their food from the machine cafeteria and found an empty seat to eat.
Cai Xiaodong had initially wanted to grab some of the "fresh meat."
However, seeing the densely packed queue, he abandoned that idea.
Not long after the two sat down.
Suddenly, with a clatter, a meal tray was placed on the table.
Someone sat down diagonally across from Li Yi.
Looking up, he saw it was Zhang Xuqiang, who had caused trouble at the entrance earlier.
"Oh my, why aren't you going to get some fresh meat? This is top-grade high-energy Xeno-Beast meat. A bite can effectively enhance your spirit and stamina, which would be a great benefit for the afternoon training," Zhang Xuqiang said, prodding a crystal-clear, smooth piece of meat on his plate, resembling pudding, with his fork as if showing off.
Cai Xiaodong thought the other person was Li Yi's friend and shook his head with a smile:
"I wanted to grab some too, but unfortunately, only evolved individuals can get it."
Zhang Xuqiang looked at Li Yi and said with a grin:
"If you, Li Yi, ask, I can let you have this piece of top-grade high-energy Xeno-Beast meat."
Cai Xiaodong was instantly envious.
Was this the kind of deference shown to the newcomer king with the top historical points?
Li Yi smiled and said, "You want to gamble with me again?"
"Of course. I've wanted the Divine Mech's divine radiation from the Pluto Mech for a long time. I had already applied for the exchange and was waiting for approval, but you suddenly appeared and stopped me." Zhang Xuqiang's gaze was sharp, his objective unconcealed.
Cai Xiaodong then realized something was amiss between them and kept signaling Li Yi with his eyes, urging him not to act impulsively.
Li Yi, however, acted as if he hadn't seen it and asked:
"Within the Special Selection Class, are exchanges of divine radiation rights like this common?"
"Of course, of course. Everyone does this because it's mutually beneficial. If you don't want to gamble with me, I can also exchange with you. One minute for one minute, that's reasonable, right?"
Seeing Li Yi softening his stance, Zhang Xuqiang was overjoyed.
Although he had originally intended to get it for free, since Chen Qiong Zhi had already caught wind of his intentions, he was considering a more secure method.
"No, I don't think that's reasonable."
Li Yi shook his head:
"The Pluto Mech is your superior mech. Why should your inferior mech's divine radiation be exchanged with mine on a one-to-one basis? Moreover, I'm not sure if there are any drawbacks to receiving radiation from too many inferior divine mechs."
Zhang Xuqiang's expression immediately turned cold.
