Chapter 711 - 730: It’s Not Pure Talent, It’s Sweat and Talent
Chapter 711: Chapter 730: It’s Not Pure Talent, It’s Sweat and Talent
[Sometimes I think about how people with weaker Genes than me have surpassed me through hard work, and it makes me think I need to work harder too. Anyway, she really gives it her all.]
[Hold on, the poster above sounds so humble. But if I remember correctly, Student Jiang is in class A1, right? And you’re her classmate... so you’re also in A1. Do all the elites talk like that? As someone in A18, I thought I was already doing pretty well.]
[+1 to the pro’s humility. But from the sounds of it, Student Jiang must be ranked pretty high in A1, right?]
[More than just pretty high... Even though we talk about her a lot in our class group chat and sometimes feel her rank is unfair—and the students in Class 2 and 3 occasionally think they’re better than her—in reality, people only think it’s unfair if she’s ranked second. Most everyone agrees she’s in the top five of our class.]
[@the poster above, you’re being too cautious. I’d say she’s top three, at least.]
Even the few bottom-ranked students from class A1 who had secretly bad-mouthed Jiang Qiuqiu after the previous incident came out to speak for her.
The students chosen to be here, as military academy reservists, still had some fighting spirit. Although they might feel a little jealous at times, they generally had a strong sense of community.
Plus, as they spent more time at the academy, they started going to the Gravity Room and the Virtual Machine Room themselves.
They experienced the feeling of multiple Gs pressing down on their bodies, and they were worked to the bone in the Virtual Machine Room. They saw Jiang Qiuqiu dominating a level 2 field and leaving drenched in sweat without a word.
Something had quietly changed.
[She’s been through a lot.]
[I don’t think she’s just the ’naturally gifted’ type. It’s more like... she’s blessed with both talent and a will to work hard.]
Perhaps it was because of her course schedule.
Perhaps it was because of the many classmates and passersby who offered a glimpse into Jiang Qiuqiu’s ’day’.
Perhaps it was the photos some people had snapped of her walking down a path, her forehead glistening with sweat.
None of the speculated negative news ever appeared.
The general mood on the school forum remained controllable and even slightly positive.
The only truly mysterious thing was the attitude of the Spirit Healing Department.
Hmm...
It was just... odd.
It was hard to describe, since no one had really interacted with them.
Still, someone had to post: [Her Spirit Healing level is truly high. It would be a waste of talent if she doesn’t join our department.]
[You can feel it.]
[After all, she used to be a food streamer. The kind who gets super energized just from eating. Everyone later guessed her healing level must be pretty high.]
At this point, Juju’s fans started chiming in.
[Speaking of which, has Juju started her Spiritual Training recently? The flavor of her dishes hasn’t seemed to increase much lately, but the feeling of my mind becoming clearer has gotten stronger.]
[Probably. That’s why I also support Juju dual-majoring. Bring us more joy!]
[But wouldn’t that be really tough on Juju herself?]
[True. The amount of work would be unimaginable...]
[The pro is working so hard, and we’re reaping the benefits! Woohoo!]
Liu Tingting projected her terminal’s screen for everyone to see. "Hey! Qiuqiu! See? Everyone’s pretty cute, aren’t they!"
"They are."
"So, Qiuqiu, have you been doing your recent spiritual power training over at the professor’s apartments?"
"Yeah. There’s no kitchen here, but I heard from Dean Zhu that the school will assign individual training rooms to us in our second year." A custom training room would be built for every prospective Spirit Healing Master.
That explained why the buildings there were so tall and the grounds so vast, despite there being so few people.
"Wow, then your classmates over there are in for a treat! They’ll get to eat your cooking every day!"
"You guys are in for a treat, too," Jiang Qiuqiu said with a smile as she closed the document and submitted her assignment. "I’ll definitely bring some back to share with you all."
