Chapter 1618: Chapter 1619: Sudden Action
Perhaps due to that accidental event, any subsequent class involving interclass confrontations became particularly cautious. Just like that, a week passed, and it was the weekend again, Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji went to find Qi Chen and the others.
“Aren’t we acting together today?”
Seeing Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan’s outfits, Feng Yuan scratched his head awkwardly and asked, as if it seemed like the two were planning to go on a date this weekend? Seeing Feng Yuan’s misunderstanding, Dou Yanlan chuckled and said
“Not really. It’s just that today Mr. Lu and the others will come to teach everyone how to form teams. We… haven’t thought about that for now, so we just plan to check it out. Today at the academy’s task distribution area, it’s possible they won’t assign you a task.”
As she was speaking, she seemed to remember something and reminded him. Startled for a moment, Feng Yuan said in surprise
“They’re already starting to form teams?”
“Actually, not quite. For now, it seems like it’s probably just for everyone to try it out. Although our class had the excellent commander Yanlan join, there are quite a few people who also seem interested in developing in this direction.”
Qi Chen explained on behalf of Dou Yanlan. Although class 1 wasn’t assigned a commander, other six classes didn’t really receive many excellent commanders either, as there were few candidates when elected initially.
After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan clapped his hands and said
“If that’s the case, then let’s go join the excitement. Anyway, as it stands, Wu Dingwu and Tan Xueluo probably can’t act with us.”
At this moment, in front of the commission bulletin board, the seniors and elder students who came to take missions were curiously observing the bustling scene. Almost the entire first year’s students except class 1 were present, turning the previously spacious hall crowded. Those who recognized Mr. Lu couldn’t help but step forward to greet him.
Arriving there, Feng Yuan noticed a few instructors touching their chins and revealing peculiar smiles while saying
“It seems this is like an extra course, but this time it’s quite troublesome for them.”
Feng Yuan noticed that, besides their class, other classes seemed to have encountered minor issues. No, it couldn’t really be considered an issue; it’s just that the few commanders there got too lost in character, actually mixing up the class with what they were learning. Although no team formations had been made, Feng Yuan could see that they were integrating resources among students within their respective classes.
Of course, at present, it didn’t seem to be a problem. But Feng Yuan was well aware that this approach would bring plenty of trouble later. Not to mention now, everyone followed them only because they weren’t familiar with each other yet. As time went on, this so-called optimal resource allocation could likely lead to problems.
“Although teams can be freely adjusted, with them…”
Being a commander like Dou Yanlan, she naturally couldn’t overlook this matter. Even a few teachers noticed this problem, while Feng Yuan’s class was relatively better. After all, Dou Yanlan, the only excellent commander, didn’t take the lead, and the other few didn’t actually possess much authority.
In terms of strength, Feng Yuan dominated here, and that guy had long formed his own team. If he wished to play with resource integration, he’d have to consider whether others would even contemplate hugging the big thigh issue.
“Such so-called optimal resource allocation really doesn’t suit school settings.”
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan placed a hand on Xiao Ji’s head and said, while teachers from other classes were arguing over this issue. To the students, this seemed like the best approach, ensuring the class could obtain the most resources. However, whether it was Feng Yuan or those teachers, they knew it was merely wishful thinking.
They lacked the firm ability to allocate resources, and in reality, it was meaningless. Students wouldn’t fully consider the interests of the collective, and once they felt it was unfair, with their blood boiling, no one knew what they might do.
“They’ll have a headache dealing with this.”
Looking amused, Feng Yuan remarked, not worried that the teachers would ignore it. In such situations, they had to step in and couldn’t let it evolve into a conflict that could split the class apart.
Dou Yanlan sighed and said
“Why do they have to act like this?”
“Impatient? Or worried that they’re falling behind in progress?”
With a shrug, Feng Yuan indifferently said, as long as his own class was fine, he didn’t want to bother with other classes.
Eventually, it was the teachers who had to speak out, persuading those commanders to abandon their initial plans. The class 1 students who were initially there just to take on tasks noticed this and sneered, wanting to say something but seeing Feng Yuan standing there, they grunted coldly and quietly left.
Unlike Feng Yuan who could now recognize most people, they didn’t particularly remember students from other classes, leading them to mistakenly think that this chaos involved members from Feng Yuan’s class too.
After the commotion gradually settled, the teachers began explaining the considerations for forming teams, with everyone listening attentively except for Feng Yuan who was yawning.
Leaning against the wall, Feng Yuan crossed his arms and watched the students. After a while, Mr. Lu announced that everyone could freely find teammates for the first try. At this moment, Tan Xueluo and Wu Dingwu approached Feng Yuan. Looking at them, Feng Yuan smiled and said
“Trying to team up with others is no problem. After all, I was the one who brought you into this. Don’t worry, I’m not that petty, ooh~ we might not be able to do any tasks this week.”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan stretched and seeing the situation, guessed they might all be assigned in-campus patrol tasks? No, suddenly remembering, Feng Yuan realized with so many people, it wouldn’t be possible for everyone to do in-campus patrols.
Thinking about it, Feng Yuan was too lazy to consider how they would deal with this issue. After talking with the two for a while to reassure them about trying to team up with others, he went over to Qi Chen and said
“Aren’t you going to team up with others?”
“No need, it’s just a trial.”
Shaking her head, Dou Yanlan spoke up. She didn’t have high hopes for this team-up result. Apart from teaming up with friends she got along with, most teams had to consider whether they could deal with most of the problems, unfortunately, many people hadn’t thought about this.
“What kind of task do you think they’ll assign? Surely not too difficult, as their capabilities aren’t sufficient, but I don’t think in-campus patrol is very realistic either.”
With hands behind his head, Feng Yuan curiously asked. Dou Yanlan chuckled, pointing at the door, saying
“Probably patrolling in the city, with teachers ensuring safety from behind. This time, they’ll be quite occupied.”
“To be honest, is it really necessary to rush into forming teams right from the start?”
Observing those teachers, Feng Yuan said puzzled. As for not finding a team today would have any consequences? He wasn’t concerned, at most just having to speak to Mr. Wu and then find Liao Yu and the others. Credits really didn’t matter much to him.
Qi Chen thought for a moment and said
“Perhaps the teachers think it’s necessary to set up teams early? Maybe our learning pace is faster than previous years?”
“Impossible. The growth rate of Beast Tamers is unlikely to change significantly. Moreover, after what happened this year, the growth of Beast Tamers should be slower than previous years. Wait, could it be due to resource issues?”
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said without enthusiasm, but by the end, he suddenly thought of a possibility and exclaimed because, neither he nor Qi Chen lacked resources, the credits they earned in recent classes were still sitting in their accounts, yet he wasn’t sure about other classmates’ situations.
Previously, he asked Yang Hongzhi, who seemed to indicate that credits were being distributed more frequently this year than in the past. Considering that one significant use of credits was to purchase resources for nurturing Beast Tamers, Feng Yuan had to suspect that other classmates might have nearly exhausted their resources.
“Well… there is indeed that possibility. I heard from Tan Xueluo that she had already converted all her credits into Panshi resources. But even so, a few days ago, she hesitated about asking me to lend her credits. Considering this, it seems they’re forced to act this way.”
Gazing at the teachers behind them, Dou Yanlan lamented that the impact of that accidental event never truly faded and continuously surfaced, not knowing when it would finally end.
