641 – Leading The Whole Cla.s.s
Lan Xuanyu then realized that there was actually a Sky Fighter Division.
Zheng Longjiang said, “If you really want to do team missions, I recommend the battle-related ones. For example, cleansing strong alien lifeforms. This way, it will be easier for us to coordinate. At the same time, it will allow us to display our individual strength. The most difficult kind of mission isn’t actually this type of battle-related ones, but the ones that require you to infiltrate, destroy, and use a lot of brains. Those missions may seem simple on the surface, but when you’re actually executing them, you will find that there are many loopholes. If you make a single mistake, you will lose everything. It will also be life-threatening. I once failed a mission like this and almost didn’t make it back, so I have another suggestion. When selectioning a mission, try your best to choose a battle type. This way, it will be better for you guys, and it won’t be that difficult.”
Lan Xuanyu now felt that these two yellow emblems were really worth it. Everything Zheng Longjiang said was from his experience and he had personally experienced it. It was simply too important to rookies such as him and his cla.s.smates.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and quickly thought of a plan.
If he wanted his whole cla.s.s to complete their compulsory missions, everyone had to get 24 difficulty points. If one were to achieve it through level three missions, one would have to complete eight such missions. In other words, if each mission took a month to complete, it would take at least eight months, even if one didn’t consider failure. And this was considering team missions. If there were more failures, it would be even more difficult.
Xiao Qi mentioned safety, and Zheng Longjiang also mentioned it. Not only did they have to pa.s.s this year’s test, but they also had to ensure their own safety. With so many considerations, the scope of the missions he could choose was much smaller.
He then asked Zheng Longjiang about the details of some missions and his plan became clearer.
Zheng Longjiang left on time when the hour was up. He had just returned from a mission and was very tired. He had completed a level five mission. According to Zheng Longjiang, he had yet to accept a level six mission because he didn’t want to die. As for the higher level seven, eight, and nine missions, he wasn’t qualified to look at them yet. It was said that he had to complete at least three level six missions before he could open the level seven mission panel. It was the same for higher level missions.
Lan Xuanyu also inquired about his cultivation and Zheng Longjiang did not hide anything. He was already a peak Soul Douluo and was only a step away from becoming a t.i.tled Douluo. One must know that he was only 21 years old this year and not even 22.
Zheng Longjiang didn’t say anything, but Lan Xuanyu knew that Zheng Longjiang was definitely outstanding among his peers. He was a 21-year-old t.i.tled Douluo! He probably had a chance to break through to G.o.d rank in the future.
After Zheng Longjiang left, Lan Xuanyu sorted out his thoughts. He went to the Mission Center in the afternoon. After being done with thinking, he went to look at the mission panel and see if there were any missions that corresponded to his needs.
The next morning, the fourth year cla.s.ses continued.
Xiao Qi gave back the soul communication devices one by one, allowing them to communicate with each other again. The upgraded soul communication device seemed to be equipped with some sort of equipment. It was larger in size and its outer sh.e.l.l had turned into metal. It was obviously much stronger. This was to prevent damage.
“Alright, all of you have received your new soul communication device. The upcoming year will be up to all of you. As I said before, safety comes first. I hope that one year later, all of you will be safe and sound and then I’ll take a look at the progress of your missions.”
Xiao Qi looked at Lan Xuanyu and said, “Xuanyu, as the cla.s.s leader, do you have anything to say?”
Lan Xuanyu stood up and said, “Teacher, I do have something to say to everyone.” As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and walked to the side of the podium before turning to the entire cla.s.s.
Everyone’s eyes naturally focused on Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu swept his gaze across his cla.s.smates’ faces and said, “We’ve been together for four and a half years. In these four years, we haven’t interacted much with each other because we were all extremely busy, busy with our studies and cultivation. In these four years, under the academy’s grooming, we’ve all improved greatly. And in the coming year, it will be the academy’s test for us, as well as a test of our own abilities. Our cla.s.s is the Star War Experimental Cla.s.s, and the academy has placed a lot of hope and investments in us. Everyone has acknowledged me and allowed me to be the cla.s.s leader for the past few years. I really want to be a good cla.s.s leader.”
At this point, he paused and looked at Bing Tianliang. “Ever since last semester, Old Bing and Zhuohan have been looking for me. They said that they wanted to complete the missions together with me. Everyone knows that I have my own team, and the seven of us have always been together. We cultivate together, so our relations.h.i.+p is indeed better. I’ve thought about it carefully. I’m confident that if it’s just the seven of us, we should be able to complete the missions. But I’m not just the leader of our team of seven, I’m also the cla.s.s leader. So, if you guys are willing to listen to me and trust me, then I’m willing to bring all of you to complete the mandatory missions together for the upcoming year. We will formulate a plan and complete the missions together.”
The moment he said that, the entire cla.s.s was shocked. Everyone looked at Lan Xuanyu in shock, including Xiao Qi.
This morning, the academy had already confirmed that because of the increase in difficulty, their Star Wars Experimental cla.s.s could help each other out for the difficulty points. In other words, if added up, it would be alright if there were 24 points multiplied by the number of students in the cla.s.s. The more capable students could compensate the other students by sharing their difficulty points. The academy also hoped that they would have more people able to complete the test.
But what Xiao Qi didn’t expect was that Lan Xuanyu actually took all the responsibility and the initiative to bring everyone to complete the missions together. He didn’t choose to complete the missions with a few capable companions to contribute more points.
Putting aside the fact that he would definitely lose points by doing this, just the weight of this responsibility was equivalent to him taking on the entire cla.s.s! If something went wrong, the entire cla.s.s might not be able to complete the test. Then, he, the cla.s.s leader, would be doomed.
Of course, the benefits were obvious. If he really succeeded, the cohesion of the entire Star Wars Experimental Cla.s.s would reach an unprecedented height, and as the cla.s.s leader, he would no longer be just a cla.s.s leader, but the official leader of these 33 people.
Hence, after Lan Xuanyu spoke, everyone was shocked at first but quickly calmed down.
Lan Xuanyu looked at all the students and said, “If everyone doesn’t agree with me, then just treat it as if I didn’t say anything. The academy has already accepted our request and allowed us to help each other out for the difficulty points. I will also try my best to complete more missions with my partners to earn more points for everyone and help the students who can’t manage to do all of their missions.”
The entire cla.s.s remained silent and everyone was still looking at him. However, their eyes were subtly changing.
Lan Xuanyu just smiled when he saw that no one had any reaction. He had considered this situation as well. After all, everyone’s abilities were different. If he was the one to make the arrangements, it was very likely that he would enter in conflict with the interests of the more capable students. Nothing could be absolutely fair. It was within his expectations that everyone would disagree. He, as the cla.s.s leader, had tried. If they didn’t agree, he and his teammates would work hard to complete their missions. It would just try to acc.u.mulate more difficulty points and have a clear conscience.
