Chapter 249: Chapter 185: Defending the homeland! Special Food Nutrition and Health!
Sun Wanqing’s words immediately sparked intense discussion among the students.
“What does ‘exclusive secret realm for support professionists’ mean?”
“Not every professionist entering the realm will be a support professionist, right?”
“There’s such a secret realm?”
“I guess this is a rule-based secret realm, with unique world rules…”
Someone voiced their doubts, “Teacher Wanqing, what do you mean by exclusive secret realm for supporting professionists?”
Sun Wanqing gently pressed her hands down, signaling for everyone to calm down, and then explained, “The so-called exclusive secret realm for support professionists is actually quite simple. It’s a special rule-based secret realm exclusively for support professionists!”
“The realm operates under specific laws of nature. Only support professionists can enter.”
“The realm is named ‘Guardian of Homeland’, every support professionist entering will be randomly assigned a ‘home’.”
“In the homeland, all professionists may summon different human race soldiers, based on their homeland, to withstand the endless attacks of alien beasts from the war mist.”
“These alien beasts will periodically launch attacks towards the homeland. All you need to do is leverage your supporting skills to augment the soldiers summoned from the homeland, to withstand the alien beasts.”
“During the task, the more alien beasts you kill, and the longer you protect your homeland, the higher your score.”
“Do you all understand what I’ve said?”
After Sun Wanqing’s explanation, all the students in the classroom came to a realization.
“So that’s how it is, no wonder it’s called an exclusive secret realm for support professionists.”
“Augmenting the soldiers summoned from the homeland? This is early training for us to face the alien battlefield.”
“I think I get it now…”
In the corner of the classroom, Zheng Cheng looked a bit strange.
“Guarding the homeland? This seems awfully similar to a game I played in my previous life?”
“Guarding Athena…”
Suddenly, Cui Xiabing raised her hand and asked, “Teacher Wanqing, are there other rules in this secret realm?”
Sun Wanqing looked approvingly at Cui Xiabing, stated, “Of course, there are other rules; one of them is that attacking skills are not allowed!”
“Your roles in this realm are as supporters or as commanders or leaders; you are not allowed to actively participate in the war.”
“All skills with attack effects are banned in this secret realm!”
“You can augment soldiers, heal soldiers, but you can’t become a soldier.”
“Or you could strategize troop deployment according to the comparison of the enemy and ally forces, to secure the victory of guarding the homeland!”
Another student raised his hand and asked, “Teacher Wanqing, what types of soldiers are summoned from the homeland?”
Sun Wanqing explained, “Various base soldier types are randomly summoned, but they all start at one-star and can go up to nine-stars. Moreover, these random soldier types will self-upgrade through killing, transforming into higher star soldiers.”
“Basic soldier types include knife soldiers, veterans, spear soldiers, archers, etc. Every different soldier type has different ways of advancing.”
“One more thing to note, all the soldiers summoned from the homeland belong to the human race. They have simple thoughts and consciousness. You must never treat them as puppets or summoned creatures, understand?”
Yet another student raised his hand and queried, “Teacher Wanqing, how long does this secret realm last?”
Sun Wanqing replied, “The duration would be approximately a month. However, if your homeland is destroyed in the realm, you will be forcibly transported out of the secret realm…”
“By the way, Teacher Wanqing, what is the war mist?”
“It’s a special kind of dark fog. All the alien beasts hide in the war mist. After you enter, an option called ‘current map’ will appear in your personal panel. From there, you can view your current location and the range of the mist…”
Several students began to raise their hands and ask questions, and Sun Wanqing provided detailed explanations about the special rules and knowledge relating to the ‘Guardian of Homeland’ secret realm.
Zheng Cheng also sketched out an image and different rules of this special secret realm in his mind.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he slowly raised his hand.
Just as Sun Wanqing was about to go on explaining other points, she noticed Zheng Cheng raising his hand. She paused, then asked, “Do you have a question, Zheng Cheng?”
Zheng Cheng stood up and asked, “Teacher Wanqing, in this realm, can we proactively explore and enter the war mist?”
This question not only made Sun Wanqing pause but also caused a stir among the other students.
“Enter the mist? That’s where all the alien beasts are!”
“Is Zheng Cheng being too daring? I’ve heard from upperclassmen that even protecting one’s homeland in ‘Guardian of Homeland’ is challenging, let alone exploring the mist?”
“If the mist is full of spatial rifts, then we are doomed…”
On the podium, Sun Wanqing took a moment to collect her thoughts and then replied, “Zheng Cheng, your question has been raised before, and some people tried it in the realm.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up and he asked, “What was the outcome?”
Sun Wanqing shook her head with a bitter smile, “The school has expressly forbidden support professionists from entering the dark mist.”
“The reason is simple, nearly all support professionists who have entered the war mist have died.”
“Even a few years ago, an eight-star warrior priest who contracted an eight-star magical beast went into the mist to explore and disappeared. He hasn’t come back to this day!”
“Only a very few students quickly retreated after stepping into the edge of the mist, and they didn’t discover anything either.”
“So, to this day, we still know nothing about what lies behind the war mist in this secret realm.”
“I see, thank you for the explanation, Teacher Wanqing.”
Zheng Cheng sat back down with a look of enlightenment, but he continued to ponder the war mist situation in his mind.
I wonder whether my Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique can detect the war mist?
Afterward, Sun Wanqing answered a few more questions from the students, and then said, “Alright, students, we’ve pretty much covered the issues regarding the start of school for freshmen.”
“There will be school staff to distribute the freshman books for you in a bit, so please wait patiently.”
“In the meantime, everyone can log in to the college’s official website to select your elective courses for the auxiliary school.”
With that, Sun Wanqing left the classroom.
The entire classroom became lively again, filled with loud discussions.
As the saying goes, three women make a play, let alone twenty-seven girls who were just eighteen and nineteen. Their chatter was unstoppable.
In their lively chatter, they resembled a large flock of sparrows.
Zheng Cheng took out his phone and logged on to the college’s official website.
Zhuo Wen also came over and asked: “Brother Cheng, what elective are you planning on taking?”
“Let me take a look first.”
“Man, we’re so unlucky. There are only the three of us in the auxiliary academy. Let’s all choose the same elective.”
“Alright.”
Zheng Cheng agreed, and quickly typed in his student number and password.
Soon, a message came through.
“Dear student Zheng Cheng, you are an esteemed student of our school with S-level benefits. The system has selected the most suitable elective professions for you according to your profession and level…”
With the system’s prompt, the phone screen displayed different electives, a total of more than ten.
The one that ranked first was ‘Modern War Military Theory’, recommended by Teacher Bai Bin and Teacher Sun Wanqing!
Then came ‘Emergency Battlefield Medical Treatment’, ‘Post-war Psychological Counseling’, ‘Public Health Management’, ‘365 Questions about Auxiliary Professions’ all recommended by Teacher Sun Wanqing…
“Huh?”
Zheng Cheng was puzzled: “Where is ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’?”
He had noticed this course when Teacher Sun Wanqing mentioned electives.
It would pair well with his random surgery skills…
He continued scrolling, and sure enough, he found ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’ amongst the last few electives.
When he opened it, an overview of ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’ appeared.
“This course focuses on studying the energies contained in special food obtained from monsters, magic beasts, or different races and their special effects on human professionals. Students want to enroll in this course need to have experience dissecting large monsters or magic beasts and visit harsh environments where special food originates regularly for practical application. Please enroll carefully.”
“This course is quite strange. It requires us to go to the origin of special ingredients personally?”
Zheng Cheng glanced at the enrollment numbers of the other electives. There were already more than ten enrollees.
The most popular ones were ‘Post-war Psychological Counseling’ and ‘Public Health Management’, courses that sounded like they can apply to all situations.
They mainly take place at the rear of the alien battlefields which are extremely safe!
As for ‘Modern War Military Theory’ recommended by the teachers, the number of enrollees wasn’t that many. As for the elective ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’, only a few people enrolled.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Cheng chose ‘Modern War Military Theory’, and then selected ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’.
The times for these two electives did not overlap. ‘Modern War Military Theory’ had classes every Monday and Friday morning.
As for ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’, it’s on Tuesdays and Fridays.
For the third elective…
Zheng Cheng continued browsing the other electives. ‘Post-war Psychological Counseling’? ‘Public Health Management’?
He wasn’t interested!
In the end, his eyes landed on an elective in the middle.
‘On the Prospects of Combat Priests (Festivities, Doctors)’.”.
???
What the hell is this elective?!
As expected from The Capital National Vocational University, where the country’s elites gather, even a course like this had been studied?
“Hey Brother Cheng, I found a really suitable elective for us!”
Zhuo Wu suddenly came over, and guess what his phone showed… ‘On the Prospects of Combat Priests (Festivities, Doctors)’!
Damn, you’re a genius!
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flickered: “Take this one.”
“Brother Cheng, which other two did you take?”
“‘Modern War Military Theory’ and ‘Special Food Nutrition and Health’”
“Alright, we’ll take those too!”
“Zheng Cheng…”
While the three of them were enrolling, a figure appeared in front of Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng looked up and saw a young girl wearing a pink and white dress. He remembered her self-introduction earlier. Her name is… Zhang Yingxin?
Puzzled, he asked: “Zhang Yingxin, what can I do for you?”
Zhang Yingxin’s face turned slightly red and she whispered, “Um… could I add you as a friend?”
