Atlas of Heaven and Man

Seeing his determination, Cheng Zitong nodded slowly and asked, "Xiaochuan, you've been following Lao He's notes to cultivate recently. Where are you now?"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment. He could feel that even with the help of bone beads and the like, the speed of improvement had gradually slowed down.

According to his estimation, in at most two or three months, he would reach the real bottleneck of the first limit. Staying at this limit would have little effect and meaning.

According to the discussion with He Xiaoxing, he didn't have to be obsessed with this. Those limits could be made up and improved together after the second or even higher limits were reached.

He said, "Student thinks that perhaps the study of relevant courses for the second limit should be put on the agenda."

"The second limit…"

Cheng Zitong said with emotion: "Except for a few elite students, the vast majority of students can't reach this level even after graduation, or even in their entire lives. If you can reach it in the near future, then it's indeed better than going in your third year, because it's less likely to make some people wary."

Reaching the second limit would cause the alien organization to grow deeper, and the physical fitness would be further improved on the original basis. That would undoubtedly allow one to master more strength and fighting skills, and the combat power would be completely different from before.

He opened the drawer, took out a form that had been prepared long ago, and placed it on the table, "This is the application form for the Unlimited Defense Certificate. If you have made up your mind, fill it out.

After the application form is submitted, someone will review you, but this is just a formality. If the higher-ups don't block you this time, you must take the exam within half a year. However, you have the evaluation and recommendation of three departments. According to your cousin's analysis, there is no reason for the higher-ups to stop you."

Chen Chuan reached out and took it. He scanned it up and down, then took out a pen and filled it out on the spot. After filling it out, he checked it again and handed it to Cheng Zitong, saying, "Teacher, please submit it for me."

While the teacher and student were talking, a car stopped in the square at the gate of the Wuyi Academy. The rear car doors opened one after another, and Zhuang Zhi, Feng Sheng, and Zhuang Zhongshan came out.

Then the co-pilot's door was pushed open, and Tai Dongwei walked out from inside. As a senior student and a member of the Mutual Aid Society, he specially brought these three junior brothers for this commission.

All three of them were doing commissions for the first time, and they felt that they had learned a lot and gained a lot of knowledge. Some things could not be learned in the academy.

Tai Dongwei was like an elder brother this time, giving them a lot of guidance and help. The atmosphere between the two sides was relatively harmonious and pleasant.

Zhuang Zhi said, "Thank you, Senior Tai, for taking care of us during this commission."

"You're welcome."

Zhuang Zhi deeply agreed with this. He was now very glad that he had joined the Mutual Aid Society, because it allowed him to get more resources and help.

Therefore, he looked down on some people who were unwilling to join the Mutual Aid Society, such as Chen Chuan. He obviously had extraordinary talents, but he was self-righteous and unwilling to join. It was simply squandering his talents. Don't look at his strength now, which seems to be stronger than him, but the resources and opportunities the two people get are not the same.

After he does more commission tasks, his combat experience and fighting skills can catch up. When he reaches the second grade, he can widen the gap, and when he reaches the third grade, he can leave him far behind.

There was also that Wei Dong, who was originally in the same dormitory group as them, but he spent all day mixing with the people on the opposite side. However, considering that this person's brain was not good, it seemed that he didn't need to be too harsh, but it was a pity that he lost a useful thug.

He once again expressed his gratitude to Tai Dongwei, who politely parted with the three people and returned to his dormitory. This commission task was contacted by the Mutual Aid Society, so the Mutual Aid Society would take 70% of the reward.

However, without the contact of the Mutual Aid Society, he would not be able to get such a relaxed commission that was just right to bring newcomers, so he had no complaints.

When he came to the dormitory building, a student wearing glasses walked over and greeted him, "Senior Tai."

Tai Dongwei knew that this was the person in charge of contacting them from the Mutual Aid Society, and knew that there must be something he wanted. He asked, "Is there anything wrong with the society?"

"Senior Jiang wants to see you, come with me."

Tai Dongwei hesitated for a moment, "I just came back from a commission, I'm covered in dust, why don't I go change my clothes first."

"No need. Senior Jiang won't mind these, and we can't let the seniors wait."

"Seniors?"

The student smiled, "Senior Tai will know when he gets there."

Tai Dongwei didn't ask any more questions, and followed him into the car parked on the side. The car drove out, and after ten minutes, arrived at Beifeng Bieyuan, and stopped in front of a flower garden villa.

After he got out of the car, a butler-like person came out from inside and invited him to the side, "Please come this way."

Tai Dongwei noticed that there were several vehicles parked outside for transportation, indicating that he was not the only one here today. He tidied up his clothes and followed him in, passing through the gate with servants standing on both sides, and entered a large living room.

As he expected, he was not the only one who came. Two people had already arrived.

One of the young men with slightly darker skin was named Geng Zheng, a second-year student. When he was admitted, he was the most talented of the batch of students. Even the third-year students could not beat him, but he was arrogant and had never been willing to join the Mutual Aid Society. It was only recently that he seemed to have agreed to join because of something.

The other person was named Deng Fu, and he was in the same grade as him, and was a student of the Bingji Department.

On the sofa in the mansion opposite them, there were five people sitting, undoubtedly the upper echelons of the Mutual Aid Society, and representatives of the powerful disciples.

He had never seen the two people next to them before. They should be lower-grade students, but he did not underestimate them because they were lower-grade. Being able to sit here meant that they had enough family background. Maybe there was someone who had graduated before or went to the Central City who had a kinship with them.

As for the three people in the middle, the one sitting on the left was Jiang Wei, who the lower-grade people called Senior Jiang, and was also the person who was often in charge of talking to them. The one on the right was called Shao Xiaobie. He had a deep impression because the powerful children liked to jokingly call him "Xiao Bie". This person usually looked carefree and didn't seem to have any airs.

As for the young man in the middle, he had never seen him before, but he should be the one with the most powerful family background, otherwise he would not be sitting in the middle.

Jiang Wei didn't ask Tai Dongwei to sit down when he arrived, and said directly, "The reason I invited the three of you here today is because all three of you have obtained your firearms permits."

He gestured, and a follower handed three forms to them, indicating, "Please fill out these forms."

Tai Dongwei picked one up, glanced at it, and said in surprise, "Unlimited Defense Permit?"

Geng Zheng, on the other hand, looked at the people sitting on the sofa with some disbelief, "Are you all asking us to take the Unlimited Defense Permit test?"

Senior Jiang smiled and said, "That's right."

"Really?"

Geng Zheng seemed a little excited, "This is what I've always wanted, but why..."

He really didn't expect the Mutual Aid Society to ask him to take this test. He had never thought about it before, because this has always been the privilege of recommended students. He didn't expect that they would give this opportunity to them. Perhaps, joining the Mutual Aid Society is really a good choice?

Tai Dongwei cautiously remained silent.

Deng Fu asked, "What do you need us to do?"

Senior Jiang smiled and said, "It's very simple. After the exam starts, no matter what method you use, just make sure you don't pass in the end."

"Don't pass?"

"Yes."

Jiang Wei gestured towards the center, "Because Senior Wei will be taking the Unlimited Defense Permit test this year, we plan to have you take it with him."

Tai Dongwei tried to ask, "This... I don't understand. Since we definitely won't pass, why can't we just give up in advance?"

Jiang Wei smiled and shook his head, "That wouldn't be good. After all, the higher-ups are giving civilian students so many opportunities. It wouldn't be right if none of them took the test," then smiled again, "But taking the test and not passing is another matter."

Deng Fu thought for a while and boldly asked, "I wonder what benefits we can get?"

Senior Jiang smiled and said, "We will give you a sum of money, and we will also waive part of your debt. Some agreements can be slightly relaxed."

"I agree!"

Deng Fu immediately agreed.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Tai Dongwei, seeing Jiang Wei's gaze shift over, also said, "I have no objections either."

He knew that the Unlimited Defense Permit has always been monopolized by recommended students, so he didn't have any ideas about it. Moreover, he knew that everything was controlled by the other party, and his own wishes were not important at all. Being able to get extra benefits was already very good.

Senior Jiang looked at the last person, "Student Geng, what about you?"

Geng Zheng looked up at the people on the sofa, "Can I not give up?"

As soon as he asked this, the other recommended students on the sofa laughed. Senior Jiang looked at him and asked with a smile, "What's the reason?"

Geng Zheng solemnly said, "Because I feel that I can pass the test. This way, I can make a greater contribution to the Mutual Aid Society. I will remember the benefits given by the Mutual Aid Society."

He obtained his firearms permit in his second year, and he was the most outstanding among his peers. Many senior students couldn't compare to him, so he was also very conceited, believing that he had many opportunities and was worthy of special treatment from the Mutual Aid Society, so he didn't want to give up.

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Student Geng, you are talented. We have given you many opportunities, but opportunities are not without conditions..."

"I know!" Geng Zheng emphasized, "I will do my best to repay you after graduation. Didn't you say when I joined the society that I could reserve my own opinions?"

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "We did say that, but the premise is that it doesn't hinder the interests of the Mutual Aid Society."

"But I didn't..."

Jiang Wei pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "But Senior Wei's request is the interest of the Mutual Aid Society, and our request also represents the interest of the Mutual Aid Society."

Geng Zheng was very unconvinced, "You guys before..."

"What are you 'you-ing'?" Shao Xiaobie suddenly became impatient, pointed at him from the sofa, "When you're a dog, you have to have the consciousness of being a dog. Just do what you're told. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"You..."

Geng Zheng's face flushed red.

Deng Fu, hearing this, still had a peaceful expression, as if he didn't care. Tai Dongwei lowered his head.

Jiang Wei smiled at Geng Zheng and said, "Student Geng, of course you can choose not to agree, but hindering the interests of the Mutual Aid Society will be regarded as a breach of the agreement. You will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, and we will also take back all our investment in you. You will no longer have additional guidance or additional drug support."

Geng Zheng couldn't help but clench his fists. He joined the Mutual Aid Society out of desperation, because his family owed a debt for medical treatment. It was a huge sum of money that he couldn't afford to repay at all. It only improved after receiving support from the Mutual Aid Society, but now he can't possibly stop taking the medicine.

Jiang Wei looked at his watch, "Two minutes, your time to consider."

Tai Dongwei and Deng Fu remained silent, and the room remained silent.

The other senior members of the Mutual Aid Society, including Senior Wei, who had been silent all along, looked at him with amusement, seemingly looking forward to his choice.

Time passed second by second. Soon, Jiang Wei said, "Two minutes are up." He looked at Geng Zheng, "Student Geng, what is your choice?"

"I..."

Geng Zheng lowered his head, the veins on his fists were tense, "...I agree."

Senior Wei stood up from his seat and said, "You guys take care of the rest." Then he walked out, and those powerful children of the Mutual Aid Society also stood up and walked out together.

Shao Xiaobie complained as he walked, "It's a small matter that made me come all the way. Oh, right," he instructed a follower, "Don't forget to give him the money. Dogs also need a few bones, right?"

Once outside, Senior Jiang smiled and said, "Brother Shao, you are too harsh on them."

Shao Xiaobie didn't think so. Dogs need to be tamed. How can they be obedient if they aren't tamed? If you are good to them, they will only take advantage of you and think it's their due.

Back in the room, as the three people signed their names, three checks were handed to them.

Geng Zheng felt that his dignity was trampled on today, and there was a deep sense of humiliation in his heart. His breathing was heavy, and his eyes were red. Tai Dongwei noticed that his condition was not right and came up to pat him, "Junior Geng, are you okay?"

"Get away! Don't touch me!" Geng Zheng slapped him away.

Tai Dongwei quickly took a step back and said, "Brother, don't vent your anger on me."

Deng Fu flicked the check in his hand, happily stuffed it into his pocket, looked at Geng Zheng's appearance, and said, "Alright, Junior Geng, this is the way of the world. Take the money and have a good time. Isn't this what we're working so hard to sell our lives for?"

Geng Zheng looked at the two people. He couldn't understand in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Don't you have any pursuits?"

"Pursuits?"

Deng Fu looked at him in surprise, then shrugged and walked out, saying as he walked:

"If you have pursuits, you shouldn't have joined the Mutual Aid Society. Take my advice, get rid of these thoughts as soon as possible, because in this society, it's purely superfluous."
