The contestants perked up, feeling that Teacher Mei Lan truly lives up to his reputation at the school. When it comes to being thick-skinned, heâs unbeatable. If Su Xiaocai could truly come to guide occasionally, they would definitely report on time every day.
Su Xiaocai poured cold water over their heads, "No time."
When Su Xiaocai gets tough, her aggression is intense, and no one dares to argue.
Mei Lan was worried about being impatient again like before, so he tried to be as polite as possible, completely dropping the attitude of controlling students.
"No worries, no worries. This meeting is just to first ask for the opinions of the teachers and coaches, and then conduct training based on the characteristics of the contestants. If the teachers and coaches participate, they all receive a salary, and if the team advances, thereâs an additional bonus."
This was more like it. Some teachers, who were a bit disgruntled about being suddenly called here to help train students, felt differently when they heard about the salary and additional bonuses.
The bonuses from Military Training are always generous.
Everyone glanced more at Su Xiaocai, quietly snickering, amused that Mei Lan finally met his match, subdued by a superior.
Su Xiaocai stayed silent. As long as she wasnât bothered, she was easy to talk to.
"Do you have any more suggestions? Letâs discuss them now, and weâll make decisions on the spot," Mei Lan said.
The contestants had no suggestions. Targeted training would at most improve them by a tiny bit. At school, they had intensive training sessions, and what the teachers could adjust was just cramming knowledge and teaching some personal skills. That was not as useful as guidance from Su Xiaocai.
Everyone else was discussing, but Su Xiaocai was playing with a small ornament, clearly contemplating something.
She was thinking about when would be the best time for the Martial Emperor Bamboo extract to hit the market.
A couple of days ago, she contacted Admiral Bai to ask about the Non-human Research Institute. Admiral Bai only revealed a few words, but that was enough to disgust Su Xiaocai.
"Pay up, get things done; the more money, the faster things get done, there will be drug dependency, lifelong medication." Admiral Bai summarized these phrases.
Other test subjects had also complained, saying the free medication from the Non-human Research Institute was painful to take, and the injections were excruciating. He couldnât endure it after just one try, but if he didnât continue, his genes would collapse even faster. He would have to pay out of pocket to buy the legal version of the medication and couldnât afford even two months with an emptied bank account.
Yet, this mode of testing drugs was legal. Without test subjects, new drugs couldnât hit the market.
Thus, many pharmaceutical companies had to ignore the topic of ethics.
Ignoring it was one thing, but there had to be a baseline.
The Non-human Research Institute had no baseline, engaging in some extreme experiments.
Su Xiaocai only found out about this last night.
Lu Qin found a channel to get a test subjectâs pill and injection, and once Su Xiaocai tested them, she knew what was going on.
These drugs were like a complete apple, deliberately smashed into fine applesauce, with other things added to remake it into an "apple," making molecular cuisine.
Not only had the taste changed, but it wasnât even an apple anymore.
The Non-human Research Institute wanted to conduct mutant research.
If Su Xiaocai werenât from a place with more advanced technology, she wouldnât have had a clue what these drugs and injections were for.
If the Non-human Research Institute lacked humanity, then sheâd teach them how to be humane.
After all, her drug was just right to rival the Non-human Research Institute. If she didnât teach them a lesson, they would eventually come after her.
The Non-human Research Institute somehow knew a new drug factory would open and attempted to buy the formula, offering hundreds of billions regardless of what the formula was.
Fortunately, Lu Qin was Admiral Baiâs man.
The temptation of money didnât work on him, and fortunately, Mrs. Lu went to Suâs Planet, under Daddy Suâs full protection.
There was even a dark web request to find Mrs. Lu, trying to lure her to a specific place at a specific time.
This was clearly an "If I canât have it, Iâll destroy it" tactic.
Su Xiaocai hated the Non-human Research Instituteâs approach. Competition is fine, but employing these threatening tactics isnât competition; itâs an attempt at monopoly.
Wu Qingqing and the senior sisters were chatting, talking about everything. The senior sisters and brothers entered the New World training ground themselves, exploring on their own. Sometimes they would hire some retired veterans to help spar and guide them, and such sparring was effective.
The senior sisters asked Wu Qingqing how she trained, but Wu Qingqing was at a loss because she didnât know what she could say and what she couldnât.
So Hu Ping chimed in, "Itâs about the same for us, but we rarely spar with others. The people we spar with, we use some of the dungeons on Extraordinary Island."
Hu Ping wasnât lying. These dungeons were generated by artificial intelligence, with Su Xiaocai playing chess.
She would collect many generalsâ command styles to play.
What they faced was the "multiple personalities" of Su Xiaocai and a formidable AI.
At the same time, the one playing chess was also their mentor, teaching them to play.
To make progress, one mustnât be a pawn. Break free of the chess player and become the one in control.
Hu Ping rambled on, seemingly revealing everything, but offering little substance.
The senior sisters and brothers were envious after hearing this, leaning on the big mountain had its perks, with abundant resources.
"How do you usually train your fitness? Now, the New World generally gives quantifiable physical training based on physique. If you make it to the finals, endurance, speed, and strength training are indispensable."
A sudden breakthrough is impossible; it must start now.
Wu Qingqing and Hu Ping didnât dare speak. They didnât know how to lie about it. Should they say itâs reliant on high-tech support and daily regular training?
They would rather die than say that.
But their excessive improvement in physical fitness was a fact. By the time of the finals, it was sure to be a secret weapon.
A senior sister noticed Wu Qingqingâs dilemma, "Forget it, some secrets I wonât pry into. If you have good advice, weâre all from the same school, and we donât want to lose too badly."
With their current strength, making the finals was a bit difficult, but having more schoolmates in the finals would be good.
Yun Ji didnât pose much of a threat themselves, as they had limited numbers.
The finals were unlikely to be held like a single arena match now. It was more likely that a large-scale melee battle determined the champion.
Jun Yue had already predicted that three teams could advance. If, as speculated, there would be a large-scale melee, Jun Yue would have a significant advantage.
The classmates all glanced at Su Xiaocai, sincerely hoping she could help, offering some advice would be welcome.
"Why are you looking at me? I canât help. I truly donât have time. Sitting here, my mind is still on the companyâs affairs. I donât have any more energy to spare. If you donât mind, let the Vegetable Farmers spar with you. They have some time after nine in the evening."
"Really?"
Being able to spar with the Vegetable Farmers was a huge opportunity.
Su Xiaocai didnât restrict Wu Qingqing and the othersâ wishes. Everyone had a few good friends.
"If theyâre willing to spar with you, thatâs up to them, nothing to do with me."
The senior sister held Wu Qingqingâs hand, "Junior, please, spar with us more. I want to see you shoot with the streaming device trick."
Wu Qingqing was a bit shy, not thinking she was that amazing.
She touched her nose, "Gotta ask if the others have time, I canât decide alone."
"To spar with us, there are preconditions," Ji Heng pondered. Rather than continuing, he handed it over to Xing Miao.
Xing Miao: "We can only spar a team battle with you once a day at most. After the team battle is over, we can also explain the shortcomings to you. But you know, with seven teams, one match rotated a week, it doesnât have much effect, so I suggest you focus on two teams."
Seven teams, meaning outright kicking out Xue Huiyiâs side.
The senior sister understood right away. The elite plan, concentrate on the two teams with the best chance of winning, rather than spreading the effort across all.
After all, time left for Military Training is limited.
"And one more thing, you have to make a confidentiality plan. The sparring content must not leak out, even in written form. After the competition, itâs another matter," Xing Miao thought about it and said, maybe one night, a tycoon would invite them for a midnight snack. He added, "If we have things to do and cancel training on short notice, you canât complain."
