Chapter 34: Chapter 34 – Young People, Train Diligently, Don’t Daydream

Upon hearing what Yu Kuangtu said, Ren Suo’s heart sank immediately.


He felt like his teacher had found out that he had not completed his work over the holidays, like his parents were reprimanding him for scoring only 59 marks in his test, and like his relatives found out the **** that he had downloaded…


The nine years of compulsory education that Ren Suo had been through trained him to be good with numbers. The average score was 1.77 and his score was 1.25, what did that imply? It meant that he was 1.77-1.25=0.52 points below the average!


Based on the ratio of 0.52/1.77, his score was 29.3% below the average!


29.3%, that was a huge difference!


If the average height of the men in Xuan Nation was 167cm, then Ren Suo would only be 118cm tall and would not even need to buy tickets to enter the children’s amus.e.m.e.nt park!


If the average life expectancy of men in Xuan Nation was 74 years, then Ren Suo would only be able to live until he was 53 years old! He would have left the world even before his social insurance had been fully paid for and he would not even have been given his retirement fund yet.


Even though the average score for the National College Entrance Examination is not known, but Ren Suo would have had paid tens of thousands of dollars to enroll in a course in university if he had obtained 29.3% lower than the average score…


Upon seeing Ren Suo’s face fall, a lady clad in a black vest chuckled and said, “Sir, don’t scare him anymore.”


Ren Suo came to his senses and saw the corners of Yu Kuangtu’s lips turn up in a slight smile. He felt his soul come back to his body as he continued breathing normally.


“The Ministry’s score requirement for Pract.i.tioners is 1.00, you exceeded it by 0.25.” Yu Kuangtu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, a lower score doesn’t mean you are very weak or at a huge disadvantage. At the least, amongst ordinary people, you are performing better than you think.”


“Perhaps your instructor did not tell you all, but your skill score can improve gradually, as long as you practice diligently. It can increase to 2.00 or 3.00, and it is possible for it to be even higher. However, don’t get your hopes too high, the increase of skill score is similar to the learning curve of the divine Dragon Elephant skill mentioned in a certain martial arts novel. It is easy to increase the score in the beginning, but it becomes exponentially harder as you progress…”


“However, it would not be difficult for you to increase your skill score to the average ability. Although it would be more of a challenge to be in the lead throughout your journey as a Pract.i.tioner, you should not take this fact at heart and be too affected by it.”


Ren Suo said, “Just like a student who only scored 10 marks in an exam and striving to improve and merely pa.s.s?”


“Hmm…something like that,” Yu Kuangtu said as he nodded his head. He continued, “Anyway, you should be grateful to be able to come here…Most people in the world are nowhere near the skill score of 1.00, and they can only wait even if they wanted to practice. At the very least, you have pa.s.sed the most crucial foundation criteria, or else you would be no different from ordinary people who can only envy those who have better skills than them.”


Eh?


Ren Suo realized that as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of State Security, Yu Kuangtu was not extremely serious and solemn. In fact, he looked rather young like he was only about 24 years old and had just graduated from university.


Yu Kuangtu did not have a striking physical appearance: he was not very handsome and did not have extremely smooth and silky white skin typical of the current perceived standards of handsome men, but it would also be a far cry to say that he looked strong and muscular like typical soldiers for Ren Suo had never seen a soldier with such fair skin.


However, what Yu Kuangtu possessed was a compelling aura such that although he was sitting down and Ren Suo was standing up, Yu Kuangtu remained extremely relaxed and at ease, and spoke with such confidence that Ren Suo could feel his self-esteem diminish.


He had a fearless approach to anything, believing that he could control any situation perfectly and not being afraid of any challenges in his way. Although Ren Suo have had thought that Yu Kuangtu, became the Deputy Director by his own capabilities with his strong determination and perseverance, he now had a different impression.


It was not difficult to guess that for Yu Kuangtu to have become one of the key appointment holders within the Ministry of State Security, a core department in charge of all the Pract.i.tioners, he must have had come from a well-connected family with a wealthy background. Furthermore, Lianjiang City was one of the four largest cities that were integral to the development and prosperity of Xuan Nation. For him to have a.s.sumed the post of Deputy Director in Lianjiang City, the capital of Lianjiang Province, Yu Kuangtu must have been very much trusted by the Nation’s top political leaders.


Moreover, in Ren Suo’s eyes, Yu Kuangtu was simply amazing—even more so than Li Dan!


The attraction of his key to Ren Suo was overwhelming. As Ren Suo stared more and more intensely at him, he quickly looked away again, in fear that he would not be able to resist the urge to rush forward and touch the Deputy Director directly and risk himself being burnt to ashes in a ma.s.sive fireball.


“…You are from Lianjiang City, are you not?” asked Yu Kuangtu suddenly.


“Yes, yes, I am,” Ren Suo replied.


“All right, you may go out now. Be diligent in your practice in the future and do not be too self-absorbed in your fantasies.” Yu Kuangtu said, “Keep your skill score to yourself. If you tell that to other people…I don’t know what will happen, but you will have to bear the consequences on your own.”


After Ren Suo left the room, Yu Kuangtu wrote down Ren Suo’s information in his file. He placed Ren Suo’s file on the smaller pile of records on his right. The girl in the black vest beside him smiled and said, “We need more people in Changlong City, why not give this one with a poorer skill score to us?”


“Shut up, which city doesn’t need more people now?”

Soon, it was time for lunch. It was the last meal everyone would eat in the dining hall, where they could enjoy two vegetable dishes and two meat dishes for free. Everyone was extremely excited and occasionally some of the cheekier students went around asking people about their skill score.


“My skill score is 2.20, what about you?”


“Mine is 2.55…I’m so trash, it’s such a pathetic score, all of you are definitely better than me. What about you?”


“I’m a lost cause. I only got a score of 2.43. It looks like I don’t have much talent as a Pract.i.tioner…What’s your score?”


Any logical person would ignore these boasting peac.o.c.ks. Instead, they would quietly remember these people’s faces, and…ask them for their contact details.


It was unquestionable that the higher their skill score, the brighter their future would be. Not only could they enhance their individual abilities, but their influence in the future world of Reiki rejuvenation was also something a typical person could not predict.


The group members of Group 8 remained relatively quiet. They merely discussed getting their mobile phones back after lunch. Xie Qiansi said, “Wow, I can’t believe I have survived five days without my mobile phone…I hope the world hasn’t changed when we leave this place. Sigh, there would be many people looking for me, I pray that my WeChat and QQ application doesn’t crash with too many unread notifications.”


“But in actual fact, you have no notifications at all,” taunted Qiao Muyi who was sitting opposite him.


“That’s impossible!” said Xie Qiansi confidently.


Although matters that people all knew had happened between Qiao Muyi and Ren Suo, that did not stop the two of them from talking over lunch. Everyone knew that as Pract.i.tioners, they would soon become important members within their respective departments. Hence, maintaining a good relations.h.i.+p now was beneficial, for the contact could be of use someday.


After everyone had eaten their lunch, they packed their belongings and prepared to return to their respective cities. When Ren Suo went up the large coach he was a.s.signed to, he saw Qiao Muyi in the same seat she was in as before. His eyes lit up as he advanced towards the seat beside her—


“Brother Suo, come and sit over here! Let’s play cards!” Yuan Dang and Xie Qiansi called out to Ren Suo warmly as they pulled him towards them. Ren Suo tried to resist, but the seats around Qiao Muyi had been quickly occupied by the other girls who had been her roommates.


“I have a…a story about borrowing arrows with thatched boats to tell you all.”
