Chapter 136: Newbie Copy Exploration

Zhou Chu never expected that Zheng Youwang would give him everything he cherished so dearly.

Hearing this, even Li Er, who had been sitting to the side unmoved, could not help but stand up.

Zhou Chu looked at the five Psionic Cores before him, unable to process the situation for a moment, wondering if he had been a bit rash.

However, since Zheng Youwang was willing to hand them over, it also indicated to a certain extent that these dead cores no longer held any research value for him.

The only lingering attachment was his remembrance of the Psionic ancestors and the sentimentality of having kept these cores by his side for so many years.

But if these Psionic Cores were placed in the world of the past, every single one would be a precious artifact-level item, generally protected as a priority by the national cultural heritage management department; each one could be called a priceless treasure.

It would never happen like today, where they were simply given away.

Li Er was clearly also very concerned about these five Psionic Cores, otherwise she would not have had such a contrasting reaction.

After class, Zhou Chu and Li Er walked side by side through the spacious campus, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Li Er, do you have a way to make these Psionic Cores come alive again?"

Li Er said somewhat uncertainly, "It's hard to say right now. I think I can repair the largest one, but those smaller ones will have to be tested before I know."

So Zhou Chu took the largest Psionic Core out of his Storage Space and handed it to her: "Then try this largest one first."

Li Er took the core, channeled her Spirit Energy to test it, but there was still no change at all, and in the end, she shook her head helplessly.

"Repairing a Psionic Core requires consuming a massive amount of Spirit Energy. I must improve my strength as soon as possible to have a chance of repairing it."

Only then did Zhou Chu realize that Li Er was currently only at level one and had to gain strength by clearing Copies or Secret Realms.

If only there were a Secret Realm Tower in the university.

One would only need to clear it once to exchange for a large amount of Experience Stones, and improving Li Er's strength wouldn't be so difficult.

However, according to the course schedule, tomorrow afternoon was the Special Warfare Department's class.

At that time, there would be an opportunity to encounter the university's first Copy exploration, and Li Er could completely rely on this Copy to improve her strength.

Of course, if the performance was excellent, one could also earn corresponding credits and gradually unlock other Copies to steadily improve oneself.

The next day, after finishing the combat skills class as usual, all the freshmen gathered at the Dungeon Area behind the Teaching Area according to Xing Wanying's notification.

Upon hearing it was a Copy class, the attendance rate for this group of freshmen reached 51.

Even those three international students did not miss it.

The only two students absent were the brothers Xiong Tian and Xiong Hai.

It is reported that these two brothers received a two-week suspension.

This was already considered a relatively light punishment.

It could be clearly seen that whether it was Chen Bo or those three international students, their expressions were not good when they saw Zhou Chu.

Xing Wanying stood in front of the Dungeon Area, looked at the assembled freshmen, cleared her throat, and said, "Students, today's class is the long-awaited Copy exploration class, which is a great training opportunity for you."

"It will not only improve your practical combat ability but is also related to your credit acquisition and the unlocking of more subsequent Copies, so pull yourselves together and take it seriously."

Hearing this, the freshmen were all rubbing their hands and eager to try, their eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

This was the first Copy exploration class since entering Shenxia University.

To a certain extent, it could also be considered a test of the freshmen's true strength.

Of course, since it was a Copy trial, the school still encouraged team combat.

Whether going to the front lines in the future or staying in the rear, one must have a good sense of team combat.

This is also quite important for special warfare.

A special warfare squad must first possess a good sense of teamwork; only when members trust each other and coordinate tacitly can they exert maximum combat power and successfully complete missions when dealing with various complex and dangerous situations.

Therefore, whether it is a 5-person squad or a 10-person squad, there are no restrictions for this first Copy.

However, although there is no limit on the number of people, one must also pay attention to reasonable arrangements; too many people might make it difficult to move flexibly.

Too few people might make it a bit strenuous to face the various monsters in the Copy.

To reflect the superiority of special warfare, not only are the requirements for team members high, but the Soul Profession composition must also be reasonable.

Generally speaking, the composition of an elite special warfare squad focuses not on quantity, but on quality.

Besides this, the settlement of credits also has its rules.

That is, teams with more people are settled based on the principle of distribution according to work.

That is to say, it is measured by contribution; the higher the contribution, the more credits obtained.

Of course, besides contribution, another important factor is the difficulty of the Copy.

There are only three difficulties for Copies in the university: Normal, Hell, and Nightmare.

The higher the difficulty, the higher the credits obtained.

Before entering the Copy, the usual practice is the team-forming session.

Most of the fifty-plus freshmen formed teams according to the degree of intimacy between them.

Only when familiar with each other will the coordination be more tacit.

Others were looking at the unique strength displayed by other students in certain aspects, which could take the overall strength of the team to a higher level after forming a team, increasing the certainty of clearing the level.

Therefore, many people even took the initiative to invite Zhou Chu and Li Er to join their teams.

After all, the strength of Zhou Chu and Li Er was obvious to all, and the things that happened before had shown their extraordinary qualities; most people wanted to recruit the two into their own teams, making it more hopeful to obtain high credits.

However, these invitations were all politely declined by Zhou Chu and Li Er.

What surprised Zhou Chu a little was that Liu Yu from Tianlan City actually took the initiative to join He Muxue's team, just forming a small and capable five-person squad.

And those five S-Grade geniuses from Tianxia City were also an immovable five-person team.

The five of them could be said to be the most familiar with each other and the team with the longest time working together.

Therefore, there was no reason to team up with others, and even less reason to let others join in.

But what Zhou Chu never expected most of all was that Chen Bo and Meng Jie were actually invited by the three foreign international students.

It could be seen that because of the previous Shigu Sun incident, Chen Bo was somewhat repulsed by their invitation.

While Meng Jie looked very willing, constantly trying to persuade Chen Bo.

After a mental struggle, and with Meng Jie fanning the flames on the side, Chen Bo finally cast a resentful glance at Zhou Chu, then gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, ultimately forming a team with those three international students.

Captain Shigu Sun saw Chen Bo join the team and immediately revealed a cordial smile: "Chen-san, to use an old saying from your Shenxia, it is called 'making friends through fighting.' You and Miss Meng will be our friends from now on. With the two of you joining, our team will surely be like a tiger that has grown wings. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!"
