Chapter 5 Lin Youyu

Wang Yi summarized the three pieces of information about the golden finger.

Firstly, you can check-in once a day.

Secondly, you can only check-in once at the same location.

Thirdly, the rewards for checking in are random.

"Although that's the case, it seems that there are many places on Earth where you can check-in. If all those places are checked-in..." Wang Yi's heart raced, and the blood in his body seemed to boil along with his excitement.

"Moreover, not only on Earth, but also in the universe, there are countless locations where I can check-in."

If that were the case, perhaps his rate of improvement would be unimaginable, far surpassing Luo Feng.

The night passed in Wang Yi's reverie.

The next day, Wang Yi arrived at the Guqing District First High School.

At the school gate were students wearing school uniforms, brimming with youthful vitality, streaming in two by two.

"Wang Yi!"

As soon as Wang Yi reached the school gate, he heard someone calling him from behind and turned around with a smile.

"Li Feng, Zhao Han, Yang Ziming!"

Three boys walked over.

The one on the left had a crew cut, was about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a predominantly white checkered shirt with black casual pants. His eyes were sharp, and he walked with vigor, giving off a powerful aura.

The one in the middle was slightly chubby, fair-skinned, with curly hair dyed a light gold, and a pair of peach blossom eyes. He squinted, giving people a very funny feeling.

The one on the right was tall and slender, scholarly-looking, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a friendly smile on his face.

As they walked together, the invisible aura they exuded caused the people around them to involuntarily make way.

Among the senior students of the Guqing District First High School's Martial Arts Hall, apart from Wang Yi, were these three.

The remaining one was a girl!

And except for Wang Yi's family's average conditions, the others were not ordinary.

In every era, there's a saying that goes "Poor in literature, rich in martial arts."

After all, wealthy people can afford private tutors, purchase nutritional supplements, have dedicated private training rooms, and so on, making their conditions much better than ordinary people.

Wang Yi was the only exception among the five.

This also made the other advanced students like Li Feng look up to Wang Yi.

Jiujiang City was too small, and since they all attended the same high school, they had regular interactions. Over time, they became familiar with each other.

Wang Yi had decent relationships with these three, and Li Feng and the others also had their own circles. However, Wang Yi was one of the few people they admired.

"Wang Yi, we haven't seen you much these days. What have you been up to?" Li Feng, the strongest-looking among the four, walked over and slapped Wang Yi's shoulder, then suddenly noticed something, and with a serious look, scrutinized Wang Yi for a few more glances. "Why do I feel like you seem a bit different, kid?"

Wang Yi smiled slightly, "I've been busy training lately. Maybe I've made some progress again."

"Really?" Li Feng looked puzzled.

Zhao Han, the chubby one, also chuckled, "Wang Yi, you're really a crazy practitioner. We can't match your energy." He shook his head deliberately.

Yang Ziming, the most refined-looking one, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "Wang Yi is indeed amazing."

The three of them respected Wang Yi a lot.

There was no other way. They had earned their respect through battles. Otherwise, with their proud personalities, they wouldn't easily respect others of the same age.

It was only Wang Yi, with his terrifying self-discipline and calmness, who rarely engaged in other recreational activities and wasn't easily distracted by external factors, that earned their respect.

Such people, if nothing unexpected happened, wouldn't achieve low levels of success in the future. That's why Yang Ziming and the others were very willing to interact with Wang Yi.

It wasn't that they valued Wang Yi, it was just that among their peers, there were too few who could stand on the same level as them. It was a sense of recognition.

The four of them walked towards the school gate, laughing and chatting. Many people nearby glanced over and whispered in private.

The five senior students of the Guqing District First High School's Martial Arts Hall! When the four appeared together, it was enough to attract attention.

"Wang Yi, the college entrance examination is two months away. Have you decided which university to apply for?" Li Feng asked, "I've already decided to apply to the Jiangnan First Military Academy! Your grades are good, and you're also a senior student of the Martial Arts Hall. How about applying to the Jiangnan First Military Academy with me? You'll become an officer as soon as you graduate, and you can have a good career in the military."

In this era, due to the war with monsters, the status of soldiers was still very high, and the welfare benefits were also very good, so many people dreamed of entering military academies.

Wang Yi smiled faintly, "I plan to take the Pre-Warrior Assessment."

With that said, Li Feng and the others, who had been walking, stopped abruptly, turned their heads together to look at Wang Yi, and showed expressions of surprise.

"Pre-Warrior Assessment?"

"You?"

The three of them found it somewhat difficult to understand.

Yang Ziming couldn't help but say, "Wang Yi, as far as I know, the Pre-Warrior Assessment is not easy. It requires very high physical fitness standards, and with our current conditions, it's very difficult to pass the Pre-Warrior Assessment. It's almost impossible."

"Yeah, Wang Yi," Zhao Han also advised, "I know you've always wanted to become a warrior, but not everyone can be one. Even if you pass the Pre-Warrior Assessment, there's still the more difficult Warrior Combat Assessment afterward. Only by passing these two assessments can you truly become a warrior. And during the combat process, there will be casualties. I heard that there are over 3,000 Pre-Warriors from the whole Jiangnan Base City who participate in the combat assessment every year, but only about two-thirds of them pass in the end. There are also quite a few who die or become seriously injured and disabled during the process."

Li Feng looked at Wang Yi, "Are you serious?" Since a while ago, he had sensed that Wang Yi seemed to be different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Now, hearing Wang Yi say that, he realized that Wang Yi exuded an unprecedented confidence.

"I want to give it a try." Wang Yi said seriously.

Seeing Wang Yi's demeanor, Li Feng, Zhao Han, and Yang Ziming, who knew Wang Yi's personality well, also knew that Wang Yi was serious.

Although they thought it was too risky for Wang Yi to give up his bright future in the college entrance examination to participate in the unknown Warrior Combat Assessment, they thought again that Wang Yi didn't even know if he could pass the Pre-Warrior Assessment. Without meeting the physical fitness standards, it would be impossible for Wang Yi to participate in the assessment in the first place.

Furthermore, Wang Yi didn't say he would give up the college entrance examination; he just said he would participate in the Pre-Warrior Assessment.

They didn't know that with Wang Yi's current physical fitness, he already far exceeded the standards for the Pre-Warrior Assessment.

Wang Yi walked into his classroom and went to his seat in the second-to-last row. He saw his shy and quiet deskmate already there.

"Lin Youyu, good morning." Wang Yi greeted naturally.

It had become his habit.

"Wang, Wang Yi, good morning." Lin Youyu blinked and said.

Actually, Wang Yi had noticed that Lin Youyu was very beautiful, but she spoke very little usually and seemed reluctant to interact with others, so she seemed quite lonely and silent.

But for Wang Yi, this was a good thing. Lin Youyu had helped him a lot, so he had a good impression of her.

"Wang, classmate Wang Yi." After a while, Lin Youyu seemed to gather courage and leaned over slightly, whispering softly.

"On the 18th of next month, can you come to my birthday party?"

The faint, pleasant fragrance unique to young girls wafted over, and Wang Yi turned his head to meet Lin Youyu's gaze.

A blush quickly spread over Lin Youyu's fair cheeks, and she retreated somewhat in panic.

Wang Yi smiled slightly, "Since it's Lin Youyu's invitation, of course I'd be willing." Because he had just obtained the golden finger, he was in a good mood and wouldn't refuse Lin Youyu's request. After all, they had been deskmates for so long.

Moreover, since she personally invited him with such sincerity, it wouldn't be good to decline.

"That's great." Lin Youyu's face also broke into a bright smile, like a hundred flowers blooming, which made Wang Yi slightly surprised.

Seeing Lin Youyu and Wang Yi chatting and laughing, some nearby classmates looked at them strangely.

Some even speculated whether Wang Yi and Lin Youyu were dating.

This small rumor quickly spread throughout the class, but Wang Yi heard about it and didn't care, just smiling and passing it by.

Lin Youyu didn't notice it at all.
