Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 181 A Less Harmonious Class

Lou Wenxin had previously said that there was competition to get into Class 1 of each grade, but Lin Manman hadn't thought much of it.

Now, hearing her emphasize the importance of harmonious coexistence, Lin Manman finally realized what was going on.

Goodness, this doesn't seem like a class that can get along well...

Lou Wenxin said that there are now 53 students in the class, which means that before Lin Manman and the twin sisters from the Wang family transferred in, the class had 50 students.

In other words, if the class normally has fifty students, then during the final exam, Lin Manman and the Wang twin sisters will either be eliminated and sent to another class, or they will squeeze out the people in their original class and continue to stay in this class.

Realizing this problem, she looked at the people in the audience and understood why they weren't as enthusiastic about the new classmate.

Only a few people in the audience cast excited and interested glances at Lin Manman; most remained vigilant and wary.

After Lou Wenxin finished speaking, she didn't pay attention to the students' reactions. She just glanced around and then led Lin Manman to a slightly chubby girl who looked very kind.

After consulting with both parties, Lin Manman was seated next to the girl.

"Gan Wenqiu's theoretical grades are good. Your biggest problem is theoretical knowledge since you skipped a grade. If you have any questions in class, you can ask her first."

"Class starts in less than ten minutes, so I'll be going now. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions."

After Lou Wenxin finished speaking with Lin Manman, he nodded to Gan Wenqiu and then turned and left.

"Hello, my name is Gan Wenqiu." The girl was a little chubby, but her face was round and her eyes were round. Her smiling face made her seem very sweet and approachable.

"Hello, my name is Lin Manman." Lin Manman greeted him politely.

"You really are Master Meng's new disciple?" She looked her up and down in amazement, as if trying to see what made her different from ordinary people.

"I heard you also have a mythical white tiger spirit pet? Maybe I can take a look sometime?"

Seeing that Gan Wenqiu seemed very enthusiastic towards her, it was as if he didn't care much about her being a potential competitor.

If others are willing to get along with her, Lin Manman is naturally willing to accept it as well.

"During your lunch break, let's find a quiet spot, and I can give you a massage."

Upon hearing Lin Manman's words, Gan Wenqiu's eyes lit up, and he began to talk to her at length.

"You have a really nice personality, unlike those twins who came yesterday, they had such bad tempers."

"On the first day, they challenged people in the class to fight. Of course, you can't entirely blame them for it. Those who thought they might lose their spots made sarcastic remarks to them."

"However, these two sisters were ruthless. They beat the person severely and then personally called a senior priest to heal him."

"They even said that if they weren't satisfied, they could keep fighting. I bet these guys will be so scared when they see these two sisters when they come to school in the future that they'll avoid them."

Hearing the gossip about the Wang sisters, Lin Manman also became interested. "Did those two sisters fight with a group of people?"

Those two sisters might be even stronger than she estimated.

"It wasn't such an exaggerated group. It was just four people who were always competing for the bottom spot. They were worried that they would be squeezed out of the class during the final exam, so they didn't like the Wang sisters who transferred to the school."

Lin Manman thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

"If I transfer schools today, won't people dislike me too?" Lin Manman asked Gan Wenqiu tentatively.

Gan Wenqiu waved his hand, "No, your information is all online. Anyone who dares to consider you a rival would have to be in the top twenty of the class."

"And those who rank high, who's worried about being squeezed out of the test?"

Lin Manman thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

This is thanks to Meng Wenbin for publishing the information she received. Although it increased her exposure and attracted a lot of attention, it also reduced some unnecessary troubles.

At least she shouldn't have to worry about the kind of trouble the Wang sisters have encountered.

"Is there anything special about Class One? Why do we need to compete to be selected from Class One?" Lin Manman asked curiously.

Gan Wenqiu looked at her in surprise. "Didn't Teacher Lou tell you?"

Lin Manman shook her head. Perhaps because time was short in the morning, Lou Wenxin did not explain why Class One required competition to get in.

"Then you should know that vocational high schools across the country provide basic training resources free of charge."

Lin Manman nodded. She naturally knew this, as she had received it before at Jinling Affiliated High School.

"The first class of each grade receives double the cultivation resources. The first and second years of high school also receive double the basic cultivation resources."

"By the time we reached the senior year, since almost everyone in Class 1 had reached Level 3, we were given intermediate cultivation resources at double the rate of basic cultivation resources."

"Furthermore, each grade's first class will be allocated a different amount of time each month to use the practice room."

"Practice room?" Lin Manman blinked her puzzled eyes upon hearing a new term.

"Speaking of the training room, we have to talk about a part of Huaqing's past." Seeing Lin Manman's support, Gan Wenqiu's desire for gossip also rose sharply.

"Actually, before Principal Lou came to Tsinghua University, the university's ranking was only hovering around tenth place."

"After Principal Lou arrived, he cut a lot of unnecessary expenses and invested all the money in building training facilities and this training room."

"I heard that beneath each training room there is an energy-gathering array built with the help of the mage tower. The energy-gathering array makes the energy inside the training room several times that of the outside world, so practicing in the training room can often achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"There's such a good thing?" Lin Manman's eyes lit up.

"Once the practice room is built, students who know how effective it is will definitely want to have it all to themselves, but there are so many students in the school."

"So Teacher Lou proposed that an elite class be set up in each grade, admitting only the top fifty students in the grade, doubling the cultivation resources, and granting them access to the training room for different periods of time based on their test rankings."

"It was with the formal implementation of this plan that, in less than ten years, Huaqing jumped from outside the top ten to the top three professional high schools in the entire capital."

"The top two schools have many powerful families' children attending them, so they naturally have the support of these powerful families. Therefore, they are much richer in funds than Huaqing, and their cultivation resources are naturally more abundant than ours."

A faint sense of regret could be heard in Gan Wenqiu's words.

Lin Manman touched her chin. No wonder, when she came yesterday, she felt that the atmosphere on campus was quite casual and lazy.

Today, Lou Wenxin told her again that there is a competition among students from Class 1 to be selected.

Emotions are the most intense at the top of the power structure, while those at the bottom who are just giving up are even more decadent.

However, concentrating resources to cultivate a group of high-quality outstanding students to improve the school's reputation and ranking in a short period of time is indeed a good method.
