I Have A Game Clone

Chapter 44 - 44 Martial Arts Competition



Recalling that he had not consumed the awakening potion before, he was prepared to wait for the price to drop before buying a few bottles of the potion to see if he would become an awakener.

Ning Shi made a cup of tea, poured away the cold tea in front of Hao Meng, and refilled her cup.

“I’m a newbie at making tea. Please make do with it.”

“No, the tea you make is great. I’ve been drinking coffee abroad for so many years that the thought of it makes me want to vomit. I like tea way more.” Hao Meng said as she took a sip of tea.

!!

“The signing of the international trade agreement for the awakening potion this time has caused some commotion.”

“In other countries, there had always been a saying that the people of Yunmeng Kingdom were not suitable for the cultivation of the awakener system. They said it was a waste of human resources for the people of Yunmeng to take the awakening potion.”

“What they mean is that the awakening potion should be given to a stronger race. Only then will it be a contribution to the progress of mankind.”

Ning Shi was about to explode from anger. Such words were filled with unfathomable motives.

“Foreign awakeners started their cultivation earlier than us and have more powerful awakeners than us,” Hao Meng continued. “They’ve always looked down on our awakeners.”

“In addition, these countries all wanted the awakening potion, so this kind of theory was very popular and had a huge market.”

“At the negotiation meeting for the signing of the trade agreement, some of the representatives at the meeting proposed to hold a global young awakener martial arts competition. The contestants must be teenagers who had awakened after taking the awakening potion and must not be older than 18 years old.”

“The results of the competition would affect the agreed price and purchase quota of the awakening potion.”

“As long as the ranking of the country is above our own, the purchase price will be reduced by 20% and the quantity will be increased by 50% for every additional ranking.”

“The countries that are ranked below our country will follow the price and share set in the original agreement.”

“If the Kingdom of Mies wins the championship, and we rank 5th, there will be a difference of four ranks, and the price of potions purchased by the Kingdom of Mies will be reduced by 80%, while the amount of potions sold to them will increase by 200%.”

“If our country wins the championship, the price of all the participating countries’ medicines will be increased by 50%.”

“In the current agreement, our country will sell a maximum of 10 million potions a year for the Kingdom of Mies, and the price is five E-grade spiritual crystals for each potion.”

Ning Shi clapped his hands and said happily, “This price is good. Sell it at a higher price and rip them off!”

“Come to think of it, the competition must be participated by an awakener who has taken the potion. How do we determine this? These countries must have the confidence to win when they make such a request. Where does their confidence come from?”

Hao Meng took another sip of tea. “Anyone who awakens with the awakening potion will have a strong reaction of the ‘Luo’ substance in their body for a long time. You can just test it with a strip.”

“Even if a naturally awakened person takes the awakening potion, the ‘Luo’ substance will not produce a reaction. Therefore, the results of this test are very accurate and there is no room for cheating.”

“As for their confidence, it’s not without reason. From 1980 onwards, awakeners had started to appear in the Kingdom of Mies. However, Yunmeng Kingdom only had our first awakener in 1998, which was 18 years later than the Kingdom of Mies.”

“Under such circumstances, even though we are trying our best to catch up, objectively speaking, we are weaker than the Kingdom of Mies and the MieIn Federation in terms of the ability of our awakeners.”

Ning Shi understood that this proposal was an open scheme. If Yunmeng Kingdom did not agree to participate in the martial arts competition, then it would confirm the propaganda of these countries.

The rumors that the people of Yunmeng were not suitable for awakened ones to cultivate and that they were wasting the world’s resources would spread even more.

However, that didn’t matter. Ning Shi had confidence in the country. Under the national system, it was not a problem to train a few masters.

Furthermore, there were so many awakeners in the country. It should be easy to find a few talented ones.

Hao Meng continued, “Under the pressure of public opinion, our country agreed to participate in the martial arts competition, but we also set conditions. No matter what the ranking is, the price of the awakening potion will be reduced by 60% at most, and the quantity will be increased by 100% at most.”

“The people of the MieIn Federation agreed with full confidence. There were only a few countries that had the confidence to defeat us.”

“In the end, the MieIn Federation, Kingdom of Mies, Black Bear Country, Long Island, Posuo Kingdom, Gaobang Kingdom, Gold Kingdom, and Yunmeng Kingdom, eight nations, signed the agreement to participate in the martial arts competition. The competition will be held on January 1st next year.”

Ning Shi nodded. “There’s still more than four months left. The country must have already selected the talents and spent a lot of resources on training them. The probability of winning is still very high.”

Hao Meng wasn’t as optimistic as Ning Shi. She analyzed, “I have lived abroad for many years and I understand how cruel the awakener circle is.”

“The training of elemental-type and spiritual-type awakeners was, to a large extent, a competition of who was more ruthless to themselves!”

“Cultivation was a battle with special abilities. If you were ruthless enough, you could subdue the special ability step by step. If you weren’t ruthless enough, you would be tortured to death by the special ability.”

“Based on the style of foreign countries, it was not a problem to sacrifice hundreds of lives to cultivate one single hero. Such practices are not in line with the values of our country, and definitely not allowed in our country.”

“Moreover, after so many years of development, the awakeners overseas have accumulated many inconsequential ways to boost their strengths.”

Ning Shi understood. “In general, our country is a righteous sect. We pay attention to a solid foundation and gradual progress. On the other hand, the outside world is full of evil and heretical cultivators who use unscrupulous means to improve their strength. The speed of their strength improvement in a short time is not something that we can compare with.”

“Shitou’s analogy is very appropriate. It’s like this. It’s a victory if we manage to stay in the top three.”

Ning Shi shook his head in disagreement.

“We have to win the championship, and we can’t be content with being merely top three. Only by winning the championship can we dispel the rumors that Yunmeng people are not suitable for cultivation, and we can fiercely fight back against those stupid doubts.”

“It’s a pity that the age limit is 18 years old. Otherwise, with the will and quality of the soldiers in our army, as well as the huge number of people, they would definitely be able to quickly cultivate talented awakeners.”

Ning Shi said to Hao Meng with a smile, “Mengmeng, you’ve become more cunning. You’re telling me all these on purpose, right?”

Hao Meng also laughed, her big eyes curved into crescent moons.

“That’s right, with the stamina potion I’ve developed and your guidance, Shitou, we can definitely produce a champion who can do our country proud.”

“I’m telling you this because I hope you can prepare for the competition with me.”

“We live in an era of change. If we manage to get one step ahead, we’ll have an advantage over others consistently. We have to take the initiative to fight for everything.”

“Yunmeng Kingdom has to win this competition. Only then would we be able to lead the trend in the coming era and survive this calamity.”

“According to my research, the insect plague is only the appetizer and the one with the least damage. The following beast disaster and spiritual disaster are the true world-destroying disasters.”

“Shitou, you must have watched the movie Godzilla, a terrifying giant beast that is not afraid of nuclear attacks. The so-called beast disaster refers to a group of giant beasts like Godzilla entering our world.”

“If we don’t take this opportunity to accumulate resources and strengthen our country, we won’t even be able to survive the beast disaster, let alone the spiritual disaster.”

“Only when there is a country can there be a home. Only when Yunmeng Kingdom survives the disaster can we survive with the country’s support.”

Hao Meng’s words were very reasonable, and Ning Shi agreed with them. He was very concerned about the beast disaster.

“When will the beast disaster come?”

Hao Meng shook her head. “The content of the beast disaster was deduced by me after gathering all kinds of information. I only told you. Even the officials don’t know.”

“I can’t confirm the exact time of the beast disaster, but I hope it’s as late as possible.”

Hao Meng was really a treasure girl. With her, Ning Shi had an all-purpose library, and any questions he had could be answered.

“I had originally planned to take in the top three students as my disciples after the freshmen tournament and teach them the training methods of strength-type awakeners.”

“Would it be enough to focus on training three people to participate in the Global Martial Arts Competition? If it’s not enough, I’ll take in a few more disciples.”

“That’s enough. This competition is a three-man team challenge. Shitou, I know your concerns. You don’t want too many people to know about your core cultivation method.”

“If you believe me, you can give me your cultivation method, and I’ll see if I can design a simplified version. In the future, you can teach the full version to your core disciples, and promote the simplified version to the ordinary students.”

Ning Shi’s eyes brightened. He trusted Hao Meng.

Hao Meng had even taken out the stamina potion and told him so many secrets, so Ning Shi didn’t have much to worry about.

“My cultivation method is called the extreme body forging method. It mainly uses the extreme state of the body to stimulate its potential and increase its various qualities. Wait a moment, I’ll print it out for you.”

Ning Shi sat in his office chair, turned on the computer, and typed out the content of the extreme body forging method.

Ten minutes later, three pages were printed out by Ning Shi.

Ning Shi handed it to Hao Meng and said, “Take a look first. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me at any time. After the freshmen tournament is over, I will teach my disciples the extreme body forging method. At that time, you can observe and learn it on the spot, and you might have a deeper understanding of the cultivation method.”

“If there’s really a simplified version, I’ll try it out. If there are no side effects, I’ll directly hand it over to the country and let the government promote it to the entire country to enhance the overall strength of the country.”

Hao Meng looked at Ning Shi with admiration.

“Shitou, you have great foresight! With the body forging method, it would be a great boost to the country’s strength. After we confirmed that the awakening potion could be used repeatedly, the number of awakeners in the army increased exponentially. Among these awakener soldiers, most of them are strength-type awakeners.”

“With the body forging technique, the abilities of these soldiers will increase by leaps and bounds.”

“What if I gave the original to the country,” Ning Shi said, moved. “I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of the soldiers in fighting against the insect plague.”

Hao Meng shook her head.

“The time isn’t right yet. The international competition is still very fierce. If we promote the original version, it’s easy for foreign countries to steal and learn it.”

“Only when Yunmeng Kingdom had accumulated enough and stood at the top of the world would it be the time to promote the original technique.”

“And I’ve seen your body forging method, it’s very dangerous to cultivate. Cultivating the simplified version before the original version can also reduce the risk of cultivation.”

What Ning Shi said just now was in the spur of the moment. He knew that things had to be done step by step.

“That’s fine. You research the simplified version first, and we’ll promote the simplified version. By the time the foreign countries try their best to get the simplified version, our soldiers and people will have already learned the original.”

“By the time the foreign countries get their hands on the original version, our soldiers and people will have formed a large enough scale and be a step ahead of them. We won’t have to be afraid of them anymore.”

Hao Meng nodded. “That’s right. We have enough awakening potions, so our number of awakeners will be the largest and and will increase fastest. With the advantage of the stamina potion, the speed of cultivation will also be faster.”

“We are 18 years behind the foreign awakeners in terms of elemental and spiritual training, and the gap is hard to make up for. However, in terms of strength-type awakeners, we can open up a new track and surpass them directly!”

As the two of them chatted, Xiao Li from the administration department knocked on the door.

“Principal Ning, the leaders who came to attend the ceremony are leaving now. Miss Yun asked if you could send them off.”

Hao Meng stood up and began to walk out with her bag.

“Shitou, I’ll leave you to your work. I’ll talk to you later!”

“Alright! We’re both at school, so feel free to have tea with me anytime!”
