“Ding! Ding!”
A loud bell rang throughout the whole school, and the campus, that had been quiet only moment before, suddenly became boisterous Inside the classroo cal to tradition, the third grade students can sign up for more specialized classes That includes the study of runes So for those of you who interested, you can coister”
“Gu Yue, aren’t you interested in specializing in runes? Will you not enroll?” Students in twos and threes alking on the campus road when a thin, monkey-like boy hooked his arm around Gu Yue’s shoulder
His name was Liu Wei He had been Gu Yue’s fellow classmate for many years They both had sirounds The tere ‘in the sah they were not brothers, they were as close as one could be
“Rune class?” Gu Yue hesitated a et it Not only will I end up having to spend a lot of time everyday, but it would require ress in just rune identification and analysis Without any supplements to help aid my spirit, even if we used the God of War Network, it still would cost me way too much”
In the new era, y went hand in hand Old-fashi+oned co since been outdated, now replaced bypower, including one that could ith your brain And that was Optical Brain Technology 1 Coupled with the power of arrays, already the online world had become somewhat of a second home to mankind
In regards to what Gu Yue hadnetwork set up by the governather on a platfor in a spiritual form (a second body/ two places at once), where they can experience a sih virtual combat It was meant to enhance the experience of warriors
However, to log in to the God of War Network and fight, it consumed spiritual power; and if you were killed in it, your spiritual poould get drained drastically, putting you in a weakened state Basic recovery would take tireat to even enter the God of War Network, not toan account would have been difficult
In the eyes of the wealthy, high consuy was not a problem Five hundred credits of rejuvenation potions could quickly resolve it But for the poor, like Gu Yue, depleting his spiritual energyto rest for the rest of the day He would practically be incapable of doing anything else
All of Gu Yue’s monthly expenses costed him at most two thousand credits That included his three y, his treath-intensity workouts, and more… there were just too et spirit drugs (supplements to bolster his spirit consumption)
This was the disparity between the rich and the poor Just like in an online gaular account Even if Gu Yue wished to join the class specializing in rune theory and application, in reality, he knew he couldn’t
“What a shahed He kne heavy Gu Yue’s interest in arrays were, but unfortunately, for the poor, the pursuit of becoant of a dream
“What a sha to becoure stopped in front of the two, laughing “This toad’s croak is not small”
“What did you say?” Liu Wei face a changed In front of hiht on his body, showcasing well developed pectoralto the two’s slim stature This boy was named Fan Chao, and he had completed his fourth refinement

“The two of us are talking privately This is none of your business!” Lui Wei felt angry and asha he had to submit to this humiliation
“Oha scornful smile “Not convinced, are we? Do you want to coainst one? ”
Liu Wei snorted, but remained silent

Liu Wei knew in his heart that even if the two fought together, it was i themselves up on a platter to be beaten ruthlessly by him
“Soainst someone in their second Even if you won, you’d just be a joke” Gu Yu said as he stepped forward He looked angry, and glared provocatively at Fan Chao “If you really don’t care to save face, I’ll lay down ht you”
“Gu Yue, you …” Liu Wei paled He was anxious
“Oh?” A trace of amazement flashed in Fan Chao’s eyes Gu Yue seemed different Everyone knows that in his position, they would have been beaten in the arena, and so, usually when he was provoked, they would s their humiliation How come Gu Yue is so bold?” Today I have to rush, so I can’t play with you Besides, I’m too lazy to sort you two out”
