At the Chen Martial Arts School, two team members were seriously injured, while the others had all sustained minor injuries of varying severity.

They were on edge, unsure whether to press on or take the wounded back to camp for treatment.

Chen Sen, meanwhile, was wondering why the Changnan Interstellar exploration team's captain had been the only one drawing the boars away earlier, and why more than forty boars had been lured over to attack them.

He had a vague suspicion that the captain had done it deliberately, and that his other teammates might already have gone ahead to collect meteorites.

Thinking of this, he didn't know what to say. He had schemed against others first, and now they had turned around and schemed against him.

None of them were good people; the elder brother had no business calling out the younger.

He had originally wanted to tell everyone about his suspicion.

But then he thought of the captain's terrifying speed and strength, and his confidence wavered.

So he had no choice but to swallow his broken teeth along with the loss.

Chen Sen sighed and made his final decision.

"Four of the less seriously injured members will stay behind and hurry these two with more serious injuries back for treatment."

"The four of us will keep going. We can't suffer such heavy losses and come away with nothing this time."

"We can't let everyone shed blood, tears, and sweat for nothing."

When the others heard the captain's decision, they thought it was risky. If they ran into danger again, both groups could be wiped out.

But then they thought of how much they had lost this time. If they came back empty-handed as well, how could they answer to the others?

In the end, everyone nodded, agreeing to the plan.

Those carrying the wounded immediately began making stretchers.

After more than an hour of pursuit, the Avatar caught up with the three team members ahead.

They had been lucky this time. The people from the Chen Martial Arts School had held up that large herd of boars for them.

Otherwise, getting through this area where boars roamed to explore deeper in would have been difficult.

When the Avatar saw that the three team members were unharmed and looked fairly relaxed, the Avatar knew their trip had gone smoothly.

"How did the operation go? Did you find anything?"

Liu Tingquan was the first to speak.

"Captain, Mo Yuemei just collected a meteorite."

"Mm, as long as we found something. Let's keep moving forward."

But when the Avatar looked at Mo Yuemei, the Avatar saw that she looked as though she wanted to say something but was holding back.

The Avatar knew she probably had something on her mind. Normally, she was very straightforward and rarely hemmed and hawed like this.

"You two go ahead and clear the way. I'll have a chat with her."

"Okay," both replied.

Only after the two had walked twenty meters away did Mo Yuemei make up her mind and speak.

"Captain, are you also a class holder?"

"Hmm?"

"You've changed class."

"How did you know?"

"Looking at you like this, and the unnatural look on your face when Liu Tingquan mentioned the meteorite just now, I had a suspicion."

"Now that you've asked me that question, I know you've changed class."

Mo Yuemei was a little annoyed with herself for being so hopeless, unable to keep anything to herself, and rubbed her heroic-looking face.

"Hehe, Captain, you really are wise and mighty!"

"Don't flatter me. Tell me instead, how did you give yourself away?"

She sighed a little, then spoke with some anticipation.

"Captain, just after I changed class, I thought I was the female lead of some novel."

"But then I thought about how many of these Class Change Stones there were, and those mutated creatures, and all the incredible things you'd done before, Captain. So I knew there were quite a few class holders like us."

"Hehe, you've read quite a few novels, haven't you?"

Mo Yuemei was a little embarrassed to have revealed what was on her mind, so she hurriedly changed the subject.

"Oh, Captain, answer my earlier question first."

"Ahem, I am indeed a class holder too."

The Avatar then looked her straight in the eye, expression serious.

"Now that you're a class holder, I'm formally extending you an invitation."

Seeing the Avatar look at her like that, she grew serious as well.

"Ms. Mo Yuemei, join the exploration team under Changnan Interstellar."

"Don't rush to answer. You have the duration of this mission to think about whether you want to join."

"During that time, I can also tell you about the current situation of class holders, the government's attitude toward us, and our company's benefits for class holders."

Seeing that the captain wasn't in a hurry, Mo Yuemei didn't rush to answer either.

"Okay."

"Then, Captain, tell me just how strong class holders are right now!"

"Ah, I thought that once we had these classes, we'd definitely be kicking tigers and punching black bears. Heaven would be first, earth second, and I'd be third."

She said this without sounding disappointed.

"Hehe, you're dreaming of eating farts."

"Perhaps a few of the strongest people might be able to put up a fight, but their chances of winning wouldn't be high."

"Judging by the direction of development around the world right now, the major countries and organizations are basically training class holders to become scientists, senior engineers, and the like."

"For countries and major powers, developing individual combat strength is simply too costly for what they get out of it."

She thought about it and felt that it made sense.

For athletes like her, it basically took more than ten years to reach a world-class level. And that was for the talented ones. What about those without talent?

Even with a class bonus greatly speeding up their growth,

the limits of the human body were still there. Without any extraordinary energy, breaking through them was immensely difficult.

"So, if you want to join the government, you'll basically only be trained for a career in research.

"Our company, on the other hand, will let you choose between research and developing your personal abilities, according to your own wishes."

"Then, Captain, how many class holders does our company have?"

"Just one, me. Don't be fooled by how the two of us class holders seemed to turn up here all at once."

"In fact, there are probably only a few thousand class holders in the entire world. You could say they're as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns."

"So generally speaking, once a class holder's identity has been verified, they'll basically be invited by the government to train at a research institution. The benefits and resources devoted to their training are beyond anything private organizations can currently match."

"Among the corporate groups and research institutes currently active, having one or two class holders is already cause to burn incense in thanks to the heavens."

"Take some time to think carefully about which direction you want to develop in."

In fact, someone like Mo Yuemei, who had undergone all kinds of archery training since childhood, basically had only the option of developing toward a combat class.

After all, advanced classes such as scientist and astronomer had fairly high requirements for both knowledge and the spirit attribute.

Mo Yanmei's personality wasn't particularly suited to them either.
