I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 627: Afraid My Brother Won’t Live Well, Yet Afraid My Brother Drives a Range Rover

In Xia, holding a position within the Military Department isn't the sole path for a professional, but it is undeniably the most advantageous career trajectory available.

Affiliation with the Military Department bestows significant advantages upon one's family and grants considerable authority within the borders of Xia.

Following a series of profound global transformations, Blue Star experienced drastic shifts in national structures, leading to the cessation of widespread conflicts.

Under these new conditions, the most effective route to earning military commendations lies in participating in resource exploration and development.

Currently, the most impactful endeavors for accumulating military merit involve the advancement of Elemental Star and the expedition to Ancient Ape Star.

For students of Shenxiao, achieving success alongside Lin Yi in these extraterrestrial ventures would present an unparalleled opportunity.

Motivated by both altruistic and strategic considerations, Lin Yi felt compelled to assist the Shenxiao students, particularly given the exceptionally warm reception his companions had received from the Shenxiao faculty and student body.

After a thorough examination of the data pertaining to Elemental Star, a swift plan for the expedition was formulated.

In pursuit of maximizing his acquisition of skill points, Lin Yi dedicated himself to a period of intense cultivation within a frigid ice cave located in Antarctica.

Concurrently, the Xia Military Department commenced its preparations for the impending campaign.

The mobilization of forces necessitates a substantial allocation of resources, including provisions for physical and Source Power replenishment, alongside extensive logistical support for medical supplies—all of which require immense quantities.

In engagements against non-human entities, the strategic composition of each operational team must be meticulously devised and adapted; failure to do so could result in the teams being outmaneuvered by the elemental beings leveraging their inherent strengths.

Given the limited battlefield experience of Blue Star professionals against such adversaries, the Blue Star Professional Alliance conducted rigorous simulated combat training for every dispatched team prior to their departure.

Nangong Ling and three other individuals were participants in this crucial preparatory phase.

Within the city of Zhuocheng, Tianshui City, on the grounds of a rather unremarkable institution of higher learning, four spirited young men emerged from a single dormitory, strolling leisurely beneath the descending sun.

These four individuals were all notably tall and possessed athletic physiques; at a single glance, it was evident they were professionals specializing in combat.

"Listen here, Shan, don’t get your hopes up too high. Some things are better left as jokes. Aiming for Shenxiao? Our institution has never, in its entire history, managed to send even a single student to Shenxiao."

"Let's not even talk about anything grand; just look at our dorm. You couldn't find a professional at the Sixth Transformation level even if you searched every inch of this place. With our current circumstances, you’re still entertaining thoughts of joining Shenxiao?"

The bespectacled companion standing next to Zhang Shan spoke with evident skepticism. He placed a hand on Zhang Shan's shoulder and stated with a grin.

"Indeed, Shan, Zhao Long is speaking the truth. Even if you attended the same school as Lin Yi, it doesn't automatically make you his confidant. Your aspirations are simply too grand to be realistic."

Another friend, positioned beside him, echoed the sentiment in a similar fashion.

The notion of entering Shenxiao was, for schools of their standing, which couldn't even break into the national top hundred, nothing more than an impossible dream.

Zhang Shan, possessing a naturally straightforward disposition and without any ill intent, always shared genuine sentiments with the brothers he associated with.

Consequently, upon hearing from Lin Yi that he could facilitate his admission to Shenxiao for studies, Zhang Shan, understandably, did not conceal this fortunate development from his roommates and shared it without delay.

However, the imaginative capacity of students from common educational establishments is inherently constrained. Institutions like Shenxiao, reserved exclusively for the exceptionally gifted, were perceived by them as almost mythical havens, existing solely within the realm of fantasy.

They found it difficult to believe that Zhang Shan was genuinely a close associate of Lin Yi and could realistically secure guaranteed admission to Shenxiao for his academic pursuits.

Zhang Shan remained unfazed by his roommates' palpable disbelief.

He also felt no compulsion to offer extensive explanations.

If he himself weren't aware of the depth of Lin Yi's relationship with him, then who else could possibly comprehend it?

As the group continued their walk back towards the dormitory, Zhang Shan abruptly halted his steps.

A look of utter bewilderment crossed Zhang Shan's face: Why would Yi unexpectedly bestow upon him twenty thousand skill points?

In a separate locale, Jiang Ya, deeply engrossed in a dungeon raid, experienced a similar shock; scarcely a minute later, she too received a generous gift of twenty thousand skill points from Lin Yi.

Furthermore, the influx of skill points showed no sign of abating, with subsequent increments of twenty thousand points being credited to her account at intervals of less than three minutes.

Was Lin Yi's 'Blessing' skill not intended for use only once every two hours?

"Hey, Shan, don't let their words get to you. For someone of Lin Yi's stature, merely exchanging pleasantries with him would be an extraordinary event, let alone being his brother. Never mind that, let us focus on strengthening ourselves; perhaps one day..."

Just as his roommates were endeavoring to offer consolation to Zhang Shan, two individuals exuding formidable auras rapidly advanced towards their group of four, positioning themselves directly before Zhang Shan and his companions, their visages now clearly discernible.

Among them was a middle-aged man of slightly stout build, whom Zhang Shan and his friends recognized instantly as the esteemed principal of their institution.

The other middle-aged man, appearing full of vigor, though unfamiliar, bore an emblem on his chest that Zhang Shan and his companions recognized instantly – a symbol of Shenxiao personnel!

"Hehe, Mr. Xue, we've found him. This is Zhang Shan from our school, who graduated from the same place as Lin Yi. You can be sure it's him," the chubby principal stated cheerfully, gesturing towards Zhang Shan as he introduced him to the unfamiliar man.

The man gave a polite nod before focusing his attention entirely on Zhang Shan.

"Hello, Zhang Shan. I am Xue Hong, the director of Shenxiao Fuxi Academy. You may address me as Mr. Xue. It’s a pleasure to meet you," Xue Hong said, extending his hand formally towards Zhang Shan.

This gesture left not only Zhang Shan's three roommates in stunned silence but Zhang Shan himself as well.

"Hey, kid, what are you spacing out for? Mr. Xue from Shenxiao specifically sought you out. It's not good manners to be so unresponsive," the portly principal quickly intervened, taking Zhang Shan's hand and guiding it to meet Xue Hong's.

Xue Hong, unperturbed by Zhang Shan's initial reaction, offered a warm smile. "Zhang Shan is simply a little nervous; it's nothing to worry about."

"By the way, Zhang Shan, your admission to Shenxiao is now confirmed. The principal has approved your special enrollment, and the dean, acting under Lin Yi's directive, has arranged for you to attend Fuxi Academy."

"While following Dean Lin Yi is an excellent path, Zhang Shan, Fuxi Academy might not be the ideal fit for your potential. Upon your arrival, you should consider enrolling at Chiyou Academy. Here are the Shenxiao emblem and some resources for you..." Xue Hong presented the items he had brought from Shenxiao to an astonished Zhang Shan, right before his three roommates' disbelieving eyes.

Witnessing this turn of events, the roommates felt as though they were trapped in a dream.

Who could have ever predicted that Shenxiao would conduct special admissions at a school of their caliber?

Moreover, everyone was acutely aware of the immense prestige Shenxiao commanded within Xia. Donning the Shenxiao emblem, a symbol of identity, was virtually equivalent to having the words 'boundless future' etched onto one's very being.

As the old saying goes, one might fear their brother isn't doing well, but they dread their brother driving a Land Rover.
