Star God Battlegear

Chapter 5 Friendship
The structure of the student apartment is very simple, with two bedrooms and a small hall.

Chen Shi and Liu Ju were sitting in the outer hall right now, facing each other.

silence……

Chen Shi sized up his friend across from him, his brows gradually wrinkled—the face was pale and almost transparent, the blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible, the eye sockets were sunken, the whites of the eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person seemed to have a sense of emptiness.

This is clearly a sequela after a serious injury!

What happened to Liu Zheng?
The room was quiet, and after a while, seeing that Liu Ju had no intention of opening his mouth, Chen Shi broke the silence.

"How did you get hurt?"

Seeing that Chen Shi seemed to want to pursue the question persistently, Liu Ju finally said, "Don't ask, I accidentally fell."

"Did you fall?" The corners of Chen Shi's mouth twitched. "A skin-refining martial artist, because of a fall, he was injured and needed first aid with healing fluid?" Liquid catalytic cell traces.

Speaking of which, he sighed.

Liu Ju remained silent.

It seems that the trouble is not small!
Chen Shi frowned, and continued: "A week ago, I rashly tried the electric current body training technique, and it was you who cut off the wire regardless of my own safety and saved my life. I still remember that we were lying in the hospital together afterwards. The scene in the hotel! Now, you are unwilling to tell me something happened, and you are going to keep it in your heart? Then it won’t suffocate you!"

He paused and continued: "I'm not a fool. If I really can't help, I won't slap my face and pretend to be fat, but if you tell the matter, at least there will be someone to help you." You have an idea!"

Liu Ju stared blankly at Chen Shi, and after a while, his lips moved slightly.

"Yesterday, after you left, I went to the academic hall..."

In the end, Liu Ju told the story exactly.

It turned out that after breaking up with Chen Shi yesterday afternoon, he was thinking about how to increase his credits. After all, the importance of these credits became more and more obvious as graduation approached.

Today in 2382, what credits represent is no longer simply academic performance.

Every federal citizen will get his own credit account after entering the advanced college. The credits in the account are constantly changing. When the citizen graduates from the college, he will get the final score.

The final score will directly affect the job assignment and social welfare of citizens after graduation. Moreover, after the citizens graduate, the credit account will be transformed into a credit account for federal citizens, and they will continue to score their daily work and life to divide their income. Social status.

The evaluation of students' daily performance, learning performance, activity performance and other aspects is of course the main source of credits, but in fact, there are many other ways to earn credits in the college.

Completing the academic bounty is one of them.

Each college of higher learning has an academic hall, which is a place for students of the science department to exchange information.

Students can post questions that they cannot solve by themselves in the library system, and offer a certain amount of credits as a reward to attract others to help. Of course, this function is not limited to the students of the science department, but is open to all students.

Liu Ju took a fancy to this point, so he decided to go to the academic hall to try his luck, to see if there were any simple reward questions with high scores.

But the result is obvious, there may be some rewards for high scores, but none of them are simple enough for him to solve.

In desperation, Liu Ju was going to go back home.

At this moment, he met Huang Shulang...

Hearing this, Chen Shi naturally understood that the problem lies with Huang Shulang.
This Huang Shulang is Chen Shi's classmate, but the two have no close friendship.

Chen Shi had also heard some rumors about Huang Shulang on weekdays. He heard that he was extremely sycophant, and he had been deliberately befriending the powerful people in the academy, and often used this to bully the weak.

To put it bluntly, this Huang Shulang is the horse boy next to those second generations!

Previously, Chen Shi and Liu Ju were both in the mid-stage of leather refining, comparable to Huang Shulang's level, Huang Shulang couldn't get any cheap, and the two sides did not offend each other.

But now, this Second Mazi suddenly strikes up a conversation with Liu Ju out of the ordinary?

Chen Shi had doubts in his heart.

Next, Liu Ju slowly explained the situation after meeting Huang Shulang one by one.

10 minutes later……

"According to what you said, he used earning credits as an excuse to invite you to the challenge stage together?" Hearing this, Chen Shi basically guessed what happened next. It was nothing more than that Liu Ju was taught a lesson by others on the challenge stage A meal, and lost part of the credits.

The challenge platform was established to provide a place for students of the martial arts department to compete with each other.

Moreover, in order to cultivate students' challenge spirit and crisis awareness, the challenge table has a special rule: both sides of the competition can use part of the credits in the account as a lottery for gambling!
"Don't you know that with our strength in the leather refining stage, the challenge platform is our restricted area?" Chen Shi couldn't help being a little angry when he knew the reason for Liu Ju's injury.

Challenge platform, the risk is high, but generally the rewards are huge, but it is not a good place for middle-level students like Chen Shi and Liu Ju.

There, it has always been a stage for a few favored sons of heaven to show off their demeanor.

Liu Shi's choice is unwise!
"Of course I know that with my strength, I'm not good enough on the challenge stage, but that bastard Huang Shulang's words made me dizzy for a moment..."

"What did he say?" Chen Shi's heart moved.

"Competition at the same level!" Liu Ju said through gritted teeth, "He said that some students with backgrounds in the college organized a competition at the same level in order to help students who were behind in credits! That is to say, two people participating in each competition , their body training level is at the same level, skin refining is to skin refining, tendon training is to tendon training."

"There is such a competition?" Chen Shi raised his eyebrows.

"No!" Liu Ju's face suddenly became distorted, and the words behind him were almost squeezed out between his teeth, "This is all a scam by that bastard Huang Shulang! He and those people have long been in collusion! On the surface On the surface, students of the same level and level compete with each other, but in fact, all the participants except me are with him!"

Seeing the ferocious expression on Liu Ju's face, Chen Shi realized that he had overlooked one thing: "How many credits did you lose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shi was surprised to see some tears welling up in his friend's eyes.

For an optimist like Liu Ju, did he shed tears?

"300 points!"

"300 points?"

Chen Shi's whole body seemed to have been petrified, he froze on the soft chair, and a turbulent wave arose in his heart.

Liu Ju originally had less than 500 credits, but now he lost 300 points at once!
Doesn't he even have 200 points in his account now?

After graduation, the credits are converted into citizenship points. Citizens with citizenship points below 200 have a special title...

Forsaken!
According to the Federal Civil Rights Act, graduates with a score below 200 will be forced to immigrate to an asteroid colony with poor resources, harsh environment, and sparse population for pioneering and reclamation!
The death rate in this is...

87%!

Chen Shi stood up abruptly, grabbed Liu Ju's shoulders, and yelled, "Why are there so many! Do you keep losing? Are you stupid! If you lose, you still have to continue?"

Liu Ju was shocked and raised his head. At this time, his face was extremely distorted, and his eyes were full of regret.

"At the beginning, I won two rounds, while Huang Shulang, who was challenging next door, won three rounds in a row. I..."

Chen Shi was silent. Needless to say, those who were waiting for Liu Zheng would naturally lose consecutively. However, he still didn't understand how it was possible to lose so much with Liu Zheng's strength and physical fitness, and he could fight six or seven games in a row at most.Could it be that the amount of money in each of his bets is huge?
Chen Shi's question did not last long.

"...I was about to leave after the fiasco of the seventh game, but at this time Huang Shulang came out. He had already won seven games in a row, and then he said..."

"Everyone is in the same class, and you came here to gamble because of me. Now that I have lost so much, I am also responsible for a large part of it. How about this? I will pledge 150 points to challenge you, and then just admit defeat. If you can make a profit directly, it can be regarded as slightly making up for your loss."

Such a request was irresistible to Liu Shi, who was already red-eyed, and he accepted it without hesitation.

Huang Shulang bet 150 points, similarly, Liu Ju also bet 150 points.

Now, Chen Shi understood everything, he was silent for a while, and then sneered.

"What a Huang Shulang, what a deception, in order to deceive Liu Shi, he made such a big show!"

This whole thing was a scam from start to finish!

Just like what Liu Ju said, everyone present at that time, except him, were all Huang Shulang's accomplices!
Such a large group of people engaged in a so-called "competition of the same rank" just for Liu Ju's 300 points?
Absolutely impossible, they will never be satisfied with just one Liu Zheng.

Who else is considered prey by them?

The answer is about to come out.

Liu Ju lost 300 points, so as Liu Ju's good brother, can Chen Shi survive alone?

On the other hand, Liu Ju's score is less than 200. After graduation, he will be forced to immigrate to the colony on the asteroid belt.

Going to the land where the death rate is as high as 87%, is it any different from dying?

Death, this relatively distant word, came before Chen Shi and Liu Zheng so easily.

And Huang Shulang who planned all this, how is it different from murdering Liu Zheng?

Disregard human life!

This is hatred!
Murder a friend, murder a best friend for revenge!

As the old saying goes, friends and enemies are not in the same country.

Although Chen Shi has not reached the point where he does not want to live in the same country with a person who has hatred, he does not want the perpetrator to continue to be at ease, not to mention that this matter is not that simple.

It seems that the crisis will not only befall Liu Zheng, but will also befall me - Chen Shi said in his heart.

rub!
Chen Shi's face was calm, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Noticing Chen Shi's movements, Liu Ju stood up and stood in front of Chen Shi.

"Do you still need to ask?" Chen Shi's face was expressionless, and there was a faint blue light beating in his eyes.

Liu Ju's face twitched twice, and then he said with difficulty: "Don't go, or you will fall into that guy's trap. Do you know what he said after he defeated me?"

At that time, Liu Ju was seriously injured by Huang Shulang's overwhelming force. If it weren't for the warning from Supervisor No. 45, Liu Ju's injury could never be healed with just the healing liquid.

But number 45 can stop Huang Shulang from committing violence, but it cannot stop him from insulting Liu Ju in public.

"Haha, silly you, it's so easy to believe other people's words, how old is this year? Not convinced? If you are not convinced, find someone to come over to help you avenge you. Don't think about it yourself. Now you learn to say that it is a gambling fight, can you?" Isn’t it a problem if you can’t graduate?”

Liu Ju recalled and said with a painful face, the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, and flowed down his cheeks.

"Understood, that guy made it clear that he wanted you to stand out for me, and then dragged you into the water! Moreover, Huang Shulang has been hiding his strength. He is not at the level of skin refining, but the middle stage of muscle refining! We... we It cannot be won."

Thinking of his tragic fate in the future, Liu Ju finally burst into tears.
