“Moreover, she demanded Zhao Yu to stop contacting her. a.s.sociating with a ninth-cla.s.s citizen too much, she can’t even hang out with us who are eighth-cla.s.s citizens anymore…”1
As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Xiao Xiao’s expression changed drastically.
She couldn’t believe that Huo Lij Jan even bringing up the past when Qu Xiao Xiao had tried to reciprocate and join their small circle.
Back then, Qu Xiao Xiao wanted to join their circle, attracted by the lofty status of Huo Li Juan and others.
She wanted to be one of them.
Thus, she was desperate to sever ties with all the ninth-cla.s.s citizen, only to find out that Huo Li Juan was just toying with her.
After all, she was just a ninth-cla.s.s citizen herself. Even if she didn’t a.s.sociate with other ninth-cla.s.s citizens, it wouldn’t change her own status.
“Huo Li Juan, what nonsense are you spouting? Dare to slander me, and I’ll let Zhao Yu take care of you!”
Huo Li Juan immediately felt a bit guilty. Although what she said was true, she was afraid that Zhao Yu would really listened to his childhood sweetheart.
“Hmph, justice lies in the heart of the people. After you rejected Zhao Yu, it’s true that you two never spoke a word again, right?!”
She didn’t know this. After all, two ninth-cla.s.s citizens were never in her sight before, so she never paid attention to them.
She said this based on their seating in cla.s.s, one in the front row and the other in the last row as an evidence.
To her surprise, Qu Xiao Xiao’s face didn’t retort, unusually stay in silent.
She must be felling guilty now. After all, her reason for rejecting Zhao Yu was quite utilitarian.
Even before Zhao Yu confessed, her att.i.tude towards him was poor, capricious and arrogant.
She had already told Zhao Yu not to be too close with her again before his confession.
At that time, she was eager to join Huo Li Juan’s circle and had done a lot of homework, including cutting ties with Zhao Yu.
After doing so much, like a clown, she still couldn’t join that circle.
That night, when Zhao Yu confessed, she felt that it was all because of Zhao Yu. If he had been an eighth-cla.s.s citizen, maybe they wouldn’t have dared to treat her like that.
In a fit of anger, she rejected him outright with many hurtful reasons.
That conversation turned them from inseparable childhood friends to strangers.
Later, Qu Xiao Xiao regretted her actions, wondering if she had been too harsh.
But she quickly came to terms with it, realizing that citizen cla.s.s was very important.
Zhao Yu, just a mere ninth-cla.s.s citizen with a limited future, didn’t matter anymore.
And she should marry a seventh or at least an eighth-cla.s.s citizen.
Little did she know, the school building would travel through time, sending them to a place filled with monsters.
The once highly sought-after citizen cla.s.s suddenly became meaningless.
The new society status was born among the enhancers.
Moreover, this kind of significant figure was unique, where every cla.s.s had its own key person.
Now, Zhao Yu’s small group of more than twenty people, they were the notable figures of the whole school!
In the old days, even an eighth-cla.s.s citizen like Huo Li Juan couldn’t compare to them.
She suddenly realized that Zhao Yu seemed to have become very attractive and his status was higher than she had thought.
However, she quickly plotted some strategy in her mind.
Zhao Yu used to be so compliant with her, she felt that with a little trick, he would definitely come scurrying back to her.
With Zhao Yu’s help, she could quickly become an enhancer, smoothly join the small circle in the front row, and become a prominent figure in the school.
“Six of us will scout ahead, and the rest of you will be responsible for leading the others…’
Xiao Xiao Long obviously had no intention of playing nanny, only placing the six people he considered strongest together.
He had originally wanted to include Zhao Yu, but knowing that Zhao Yu had no martial arts skills, he removed him from his list.
After some discussion, Zhao Yu and the other 20 enhancers decided to form ten groups, 70 students in one team.
With Zhao Yu, a five-time enhancer, their team was also conveniently formed.
Li Hong Wei, from his cla.s.s, naturally ended up in the same team.
Soon, the other six cla.s.ses without enhancers were all a.s.signed under Zhao Yu’s leadership.
After a brief introduction, they started to divide weapons.
Weapons like the bone claws and clubs from the Ape Claw Beast could be harvested eight pieces per corpse, totaling over three hundred pieces, with each team receiving an average of over thirty pieces.
As an enhancer, Zhao Yu took two pieces, one bone claw and one bone club.
Deng Xue Ling and another girl who was carrying long swords didn’t take bone clubs or claws, clearly unaccustomed to these weapons, preferring swords instead.
In contrast, Xiao Xiao Long’s and his men mostly had two bone claws each.
However, unlike others who used bone claws as handheld weapons, these four men strap the bone claws to the outsides of their arms, seemingly using them as armor.
Moreover, they specially tied the bone claws to the back of their hands with string, so they could switch from fists to claws in crucial moments for attacking.
Zhao Yu, who had never learned boxing, just tried swinging a couple of times and realized he couldn’t did it smoothly..
