Chapter 11: Co-ed Living, New Task!

"The Wild Plains Base City has been last for ten consecutive years!"

The training fanatic bald-headed instructor's gaze swept over the contractors below. "Do you think the city's officials and schools haven't taken any measures over the past ten years?"

The contractors fell silent, though some were still somewhat defiant.

The bald instructor sneered and shared a number.

"Ninth rank!"

"The level of last year's national college entrance exam top scorer!"

"He defeated a grandmaster-level magical beast at the ninth rank to secure the top spot."

Ninth rank! Defeated a grandmaster! Top scorer!

The contractors felt their minds explode with this reality check.

Ninth rank! A distant and powerful level.

Just returning from his bathroom break, Jing Ran was shocked by this number, recalling memories from the past.

Ninth rank defeating a grandmaster! An SSS-Rank template, battling across levels, a super prodigy!

He was a freshman back then, and the top search on every platform was about that top scorer.

The summoned beast levels range from one to nine, with grandmaster level above that.

The fruitful girl, Nangong Siyao, clenched her fists, her eyes wide.

Even Cheng Bingxi rarely fell silent.

The highest combat power in the Wild Plains Base City was only at the grandmaster level.

Grandmaster level, enough to be appointed as a city lord or the highest commander of the city guard!

**[Event detected, task triggered]**

**[Phase Task: Achieve national top scorer in the college entrance exam, base city's overall score enters the national top ten]**

**[Current Task: Raise the summoned beast's level to fifth rank within a week! Reward: 100 evolution points, one rule fragment crystal]**

"Instructor, what was the top scorer's level in our Wild Plains Base City last year?" Xiao Ye asked.

The bald instructor glanced at Xiao Ye in surprise, "Third rank!"

Now it was the contractors' turn to be shocked. The gap between base cities was indeed that vast.

The top scorer in Wild Plains Base City was third rank, while the national top scorer was ninth rank! A single word, a world of difference! No comparison at all.

"Next, let's discuss the basic resource allocation. Each week, A-Rank contractor pairs can receive ten first-tier cores, S-Rank pairs can receive twenty first-tier cores, and SSS-Rank pairs can receive ten second-tier cores!"

"In addition, each contractor pair here will receive corresponding core rewards after completing each training session."

"Now for dormitory assignments."

The bald instructor paused, surveying the already contracted pairs present.

"The dormitories are co-ed contract rooms, one room per contractor pair."

"If I find any contractor pair living separately, I will impose hell-level devil training as punishment!"

The male students who had only contracted with female students were thrilled.

"Awesome!"

"Just what I wanted!"

"Whoo-hoo, Xiaoxiao, did you hear that? The instructor wants us to share a room."

"I heard it, are you crazy? Let go."

Xiao Ye reflected on the co-ed living arrangements, which would have been a trending topic in his previous life, but here in the post-apocalyptic Blue Star, it was standard.

If any contractor pair didn't want to live together, the teacher would educate them and might even give them a beating.

"Silence!" the female bald instructor spoke, "There will be no training today. Get familiar with the environment, the accommodation, and collect this week's basic resources."

"Dismissed!"

Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi first collected this week's training resources.

As SSS-Rank contractors, they could receive ten second-tier cores each week.

After collecting the cores, they headed to the dormitory area, a block of apartment buildings. Room 001 was assigned to Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi. Although it was labeled as one room, it was a small apartment with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom—all included.

However, there was only one bedroom!

They arrived around two in the afternoon, and now, four or five hours later, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi prepared to wash up and rest.

Cheng Bingxi entered the bathroom while Xiao Ye waited outside.

"Xiao Ye! I left my clothes outside. Can you bring them in?"

"Not this one, hmm, why is this missing a piece of fabric?"

"Get another one, hurry up."

"Are you crazy, Xiao Ye? This is a bunny girl outfit."

"Why did you bring the wedding dress?"

"No need for underwear; who wears that at home?"

"Hmph, you can't even get the clothes right."

Finally, Cheng Bingxi, wearing the emperor's new clothes, personally came out to pick a nightgown, layering it over her wedding dress.

Xiao Ye watched the whole process, stunned.

With a blush, Cheng Bingxi sat down beside him, "Xiao Ye, if it's too much trouble, I won't ask you to do it again."

Xiao Ye shook his head vigorously, "Not at all. Do it more often; I quite enjoy it."

Though Cheng Bingxi's figure wasn't as impressive as the fruitful girl's, she had a perfect golden ratio, flawless, pleasing to the eye, and uplifting.

However, Xiao Ye curiously asked, "Do you like wearing wedding dresses?"

"Of course! After finally tricking you into my hands, what else would I wear?"

Cheng Bingxi huffed, "I've had my eye on you since freshman year. Who knew you were so aloof back then, like a fortress compared to me, the school belle."

"Luckily, I was clever and found a reason to be friends, so I could get close to you."

Reflecting on it, Xiao Ye felt a sense of dread and asked, "I wondered why you kept asking me questions back then when your grades were better than mine. You were first in the school, and I was second."

"Later, you even became my desk mate, and we've been desk mates for three years!"

"You sneaky Cheng Bingxi, I treated you like a friend, and you were plotting to be my wife."

Cheng Bingxi wore a proud smile, "Hehe! While we were still young and naive desk mates, of course, I had to win you over."

"After the beast attack in freshman year, your grades dropped, allowing me to take first place in academics," Xiao Ye said.

Cheng Bingxi fell silent, the beast attack in freshman year was her nightmare.

Seeing his silent girlfriend, Xiao Ye said, "Let's sleep. We have training tomorrow."

Cheng Bingxi shook her head, "No! After finally getting you and forming a contract, we're already married. I want to be with you every day."

Xiao Ye was speechless; he never realized how intense this friend was.

If he had known earlier, it would have been...

Incredible!
