324: Chapter 304: Battle for Supremacy 324: Chapter 304: Battle for Supremacy “…We have to thank the predecessors for their pioneering efforts. Their lives of evolution and exploration have become our ‘path’ today. Without their pioneering, the evolution path of humans and even humanoid intelligent beings would be much narrower. Our logistics profession inherits their spirit of transforming nature, turning risks, dangers, and resources into opportunities…” On the podium, the teacher was reciting the textbook without any emphasis or pauses. The students below, after their initial excitement, were either drowsy or reverting to their high school habits, diligently taking notes but probably not really remembering them. The afternoon class marks the beginning of the entire university curriculum. All the courses were focusing on introductory lectures, general outline, subject introductions, historical development, and such. Both the speakers, who were tired of talking, and the listeners, who felt there was no nourishment in the lectures, were not few in number, causing the information to go in one ear and out the other. However, Lu Ping’an didn’t take a single note, but seemed to have an epiphany, actually listening. “So, this is the ‘career path’ developed from this line of thinking? After all, those popular professions are just the easiest evolutionary paths to take, and at a certain level, one still has to carve their own path…” It would be strange if anyone could take in such empty theories and history. But Lu Ping’an’s mind was full of a mess of examples, and even secrets involving deities. He knew even more high-level “common sense” than many fifth-sixth tier people do. Yet, when it came to low-level basic theories, he had a lot of gaps in his knowledge as well. At this time, someone had helped him sort things out by starting from the source and explaining everything. The many previously-seen “examples” now had a relatively understandable theoretical support. At least, he felt that he had gained a lot, but upon closer examination, it was more of a theoretical “tips” on the surface. When students pay attention in class, time usually goes by quickly, but for most students, the process can feel like an eternity. For Lu Ping’an, in the blink of an eye, the class was over. Before he could get up and leave, the invitations from the others came. “Lu Ping’an, want to go for a walk together?” The people in the same dorm came over, expressing their friendliness and trying to pull him into their small circle. But this time, Lu Ping’an still showed an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, I have an appointment to talk about club matters with a senior from the third-year.” He took out his phone, showing the messages of agreeing to meet after class. Afterward, Lu Ping’an left naturally, but both sides probably knew that their future interactions would become less and less frequent. About ten minutes later, Lu Ping’an returned to the “castle in the sky,” the headquarters of the Venus Mutual Aid Society. Since Lu Ping’an had come to study, the seniors had naturally started their daily routine. On the way, he saw quite a few strangers, including some who were obviously too young. The Venus Mutual Aid Society centered around Hua Xueyi had just been established recently, not only having its own headquarters but also undergoing rapid development. At the same time, it was also an affiliate team of the “Chamber of Commerce,” though most of the mutual aid society members didn’t know it. “…You want to set up a headquarters? Is it necessary?” In Hua Xueyi’s view, it was somewhat superfluous. The functionality of her “castle in the sky” “healing hot spring” and Lu Ping’an’s hotel’s recovery abilities were not on the same level. “It’s necessary. The face-value Chamber of Commerce also needs to expand, and we need to recruit some people on the periphery…” Lu Ping’an’s planning was clear. He registered a business in the school not because he had nothing else to do. Trading Land and the forces behind it would not be exposed in a short time, but human resources were always in demand. “…Put on a disguise, recruit people under the name of a school club, and after examination and training, if they’re trustworthy, consider adding them to the Chamber of Commerce.” Lu Ping’an’s abilities and cards confirmed that he wasn’t a lone-hero. As such, recruitment and team organization were essential matters. No organization can lack capable and ambitious young blood. With Lu Ping’an and the courtyard, the young elites can reach the “elite combat power” level within a year. “Meow is probably not far from 2-tier.” Even the progress of the cat was so incredible that it boosted Lu Ping’an’s confidence even more. Perhaps, instead of directly digging for unreliable immediate combat power, it might be possible to cultivate a relatively reliable young force. He planned to recruit a group of newcomers at Ancient City University, cultivating those with potential, and the best of them would be directly absorbed into his own business group… In theory, it would be difficult to add new people to the core layer (members 1 to 5), but nothing is absolute. If a God-level genius were to come, all conditions could be negotiable, and all benefits would be open. This campus club could also serve as a “collective activity” cover. So, in order to attract new members and hide some secrets, an independent “small space” is necessary. “You came to the right place with us. We not only have experience, but also connections…” Miss Lululu’s words seemed to contain deeper meaning. However, the Venus Mutual Aid Society, as a new group formed by junior students, managed to grab an “independent semi-plane” as their team residence, which proves their extraordinary strength. “Actually, you’re a little late. At the end of last semester, it was the peak of behind-the-scenes trading. Now, if you want a residence, you really have to fight for it.” These “semi-planes” are not independent spaces, but extra facilities hanging on the Ancient City University’s larger space. The principle is very complex, but simply explained, it’s like a small loft separated by wooden boards for private use. Their number is limited, and they can’t be taken away. When a group of senior students graduate, a new set of spaces will become available. But where there are people, there are interests. It would be abnormal not to have any tricks when distributing limited resources. Many senior clubs, even if they cannot continue, will still trade privately, losing their “semi-plane” through a “fight.” Of course, this is strictly prohibited by the school, but as long as there is no evidence, such activity will continue. Some senior students do not require resources and money and directly “give” their residence to a particular newborn club they value. Of course, such “newborn clubs” that get club residences will also be tested by the school. It’s very difficult, and about 70-80% of club residence transfers ultimately fail. Still, this is much simpler than the “Semi-plane Battle.” If a club residence is available, a “battle” will be fought, with questions set by the original owner or the school, and aspiring people competing for it. “…When we got this ‘building,’ there were 79 clubs fighting for survival in the battle, and there were even a few that had no martial arts integrity, temporarily recruited senior students to join, and fought very hard.” Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an looked at them calmly, deep in thought. These two core members were indeed strong, and now that they were graduates, they still had plenty to spare, but their club’s membership was not large. From Lu Ping’an’s own perspective, there was no one stronger than them in Hua Xueyi’s club. “Did you call a professor?” “No, we called a senior graduate student led by a professor.” Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly. Although this was the expected outcome, he felt that the upcoming days would not be so peaceful. “Can you play like this? Isn’t it possible to call anyone at will?” “Connections are also a kind of power, but as a price, members can’t leave the group within a year. Fortunately, those two senior brothers were pure researchers who didn’t have a team.” If you can make others abandon their own club and fight for you, and stay with you for a whole year, there’s no real difference from your own combat power. But what surprised Lu Ping’an was that there were not one, but two graduate students. If he hadn’t guessed wrong, they should both be third-tier. Do they need this level of combat power to ensure victory? It seemed a bit excessive. Lu Ping’an contemplated and inquired. “Would it work if we called an alumnus? A graduate of Ancient City University… Alright, forget I mentioned it.” The “you’re dreaming” expression on the other side’s face was too obvious, so it seemed unrealistic to ask Xia Qin for help. “When is the soonest battle for a residence?” Lu Ping’an didn’t plan to spend money to “buy” a residence. Why spend money when you can get it for free? As it was the beginning of a new semester, many clubs should have new residences available for transferring ownership. “Hold on, let me check… There’s one in three days, slightly larger than ours, with over a hundred clubs already signed up to compete.”
