#134 - Chapter 134 Li Bochun
"Didn't I tell you I'm not familiar with him?" Li Qingxia smiled, using a spoon to scoop up a mouthful of porridge and hold it to Li Chenqiu's mouth: "Eat, eat. After I finish your breakfast, I have to go busy myself with lunch."
Li Chenqiu turned his head away: "Then you must know his name, right? Can't you even tell me his name?"
Li Qingxia said somewhat awkwardly: "I always called him Big Brother. His name, I..."
"His name is Li Bochun. 'Bo' is the 'bo' in 'danbo' (indifference). He liked raising flowers, plants, cats, and dogs. Before he died, he was always a very gentle person," Li Ji said without looking up from his newspaper.
"Before he died?" Li Chenqiu frowned: "Big Brother died?"
Li Ji responded: "Yes, he had a terminal illness. He died of the disease. There's nothing to mention. Do you have anything else you want to ask?"
"I..." Li Chenqiu paused: "What kind of person was he after death?"
"Is your brain broken, kid?" Li Qingxia reached out and flicked Li Chenqiu's forehead: "Once you're gone, that's it, understand?"
"Understood, I was confused," Li Chenqiu nodded.
Knock, knock, knock—
A series of knocks came from the door.
Li Qingxia put down the bowl in her hand and trotted to the door, opening it.
"Officer Li Shu, why have you come?" Li Qingxia hurriedly pulled the door open: "Please come in, please come in."
"I came so early in the morning, haven't I disturbed you?" Li Shu walked into the room carrying a fruit basket.
Li Ji stood up and waved his hand: "Not at all. This big ward is just the three of us, it's rather deserted. It's just right with you joining us."
After a dozen minutes of pleasantries, Li Shu finally got to the point.
"I've come mainly to understand some things from Li Chenqiu and to talk about the academy," Li Shu gestured towards Li Chenqiu.
"Then you guys chat. What are you looking at us for?" Li Qingxia crossed her arms, looking at the two of them with some confusion.
"This..." Li Shu's expression was a bit embarrassed.
"Aren't you haven't eaten breakfast? Come on, let's go downstairs and eat some steamed buns."
Li Ji reached out and grabbed Li Qingxia's collar, dragging her straight towards the door despite her resistance.
"Boss, I've already eaten..."
"Just because you've eaten once doesn't mean you can't eat a second time?"
Bang!
The door closed.
Li Shu sized Li Chenqiu up and down: "How's your body recovering?"
"It's okay. I should be back to normal in about a month."
Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's good, you'll be able to make it to the academy assessment."
"Has the assessment content been finalized?" Li Chenqiu looked at Li Shu curiously.
"Yes, this assessment is quite special. It's a joint assessment between the Zhaixing Academy and the War Academy. I can't reveal the specific content, it's classified," Li Shu replied.
"Joint assessment?" A hint of confusion flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes: "Isn't the War Academy a direct admission? Why is there still an assessment?"
"Originally, it was direct admission, but a few days ago, the higher-ups of the War Academy suddenly held a meeting, and then it became an assessment. But because they didn't have any experience in this area, they came to us at Zhaixing.
They said that the War Academy's graduates will all be going to the battlefield in the future, and flowers in a greenhouse can't withstand the wind and rain, and they should learn from us. Later, it became a joint assessment."
Li Shu spread his hands, saying helplessly.
"It should be quite interesting to compete with so many people," Li Chenqiu said with anticipation.
"You compete with them?" Li Shu picked up an apple from the fruit basket, took a bite, and asked back: "Put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, do you think that's reasonable?"
Li Chenqiu scratched his head with his bandaged hand: "Isn't it reasonable?"
Li Shu was covered in black lines, looking at Li Chenqiu speechlessly.
How could that be reasonable?
Others are all at the first or second level of restriction, but your physical strength is comparable to the fifth level, and you can even fight at the sixth level with a spiritual weapon.
Is it reasonable to put that together? Isn't that bullying honest people?
Li Chenqiu stared at Li Shu for a while, seemed to understand something, and smiled sheepishly: "It seems like it is a bit unreasonable. Then this assessment..."
"This assessment requires you to go to a prison. Although you are with the others, the assessment task you will be carrying out is completely different from theirs. They are them, and you are you," Li Shu said slowly.
"Ah?" Li Chenqiu's mouth opened slightly: "Does that mean my admission assessment is more difficult?"
Li Shu waved his hand: "You don't need to take the admission assessment. You are already a student of Zhaixing Academy.
The assessment you will be taking is called the position assessment. After completing the mission issued by the academy, you will no longer be considered an ordinary student, but rather a student holding an official position."
Li Chenqiu nodded, seemingly understanding: "A student holding an official position..."
Li Shu patted Li Chenqiu on the shoulder, saying with envy: "No one has ever been able to hold an official position in the academy as a student. You are a special case.
After graduation, no matter where you go, the academy will not revoke your official position. Of course, you can also choose to continue to stay in the academy."
"Then after I pass the assessment task, what position will the academy let me hold, what's the treatment like, will I get a monthly salary, is it fixed or base plus performance?"
Li Chenqiu straightened up, his dim eyes instantly lit up.
The corners of Li Shu's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to praise Li Chenqiu for being pragmatic or for having a strange train of thought.
"I don't know about the position, but I can definitely say that the resources you will get after passing this assessment will definitely be much higher than those of ordinary students," Li Shu explained.
"I see!" Li Chenqiu smiled: "I will definitely work hard to complete the assessment task and not let the academy down."
"Go for it!" Li Shu clenched his fist and waved it in front of Li Chenqiu, then changed the subject and asked: "By the way, what's the matter with that flame?"
Li Chenqiu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then shook his head in confusion:
"I don't know what's going on with that flame either. At the critical moment of life and death, I felt a powerful energy surging in my body, and then I don't know why the fire came out.
I feel that this flame is my real ability, but I didn't realize it before, and I took my natural great strength as my ability."
"Uh... Then I'll report it to the An Tong Si's ability rating department later to change your divine power recorded in the database. Have you thought of a name for the flame ability?" Li Shu asked.
Li Chenqiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Extreme Fire. I thought about it a few days ago. Do I need to go to the Special Ability Division for rating?"
Li Shu waved his hand: "No need. Such a strong ability is definitely A-level. There's nothing to rate."
After speaking, he took out a train ticket from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Everyone participating in the assessment is on this train. The train ticket is for May 28th at 8:10 AM, the destination is City 100. I'm leaving if there's nothing else," Li Shu said, pointing to the train ticket.
"There's nothing else, thank you," Li Chenqiu nodded to Li Shu.
After Li Shu left, Li Chenqiu raised his head and looked out the window, a trace of confusion on his brow.
