Chapter 114 A simple exchange of words

"On the first day of the expedition, we were lucky enough to find a peach tree. There was no danger along the way. I hope we can gain more on the second day."

In the tent, Li Ming recorded what he saw and heard today on a tape recorder.

After a day's journey, Captain Shen ordered everyone to set up tents and prepare for the night.

As for dinner, I brought a lot of self-heating fast food, so I just had to make do with whatever I had.

However, it is a little bit harder for girls, because Captain Shen requires everyone not to leave the team too far, which means that girls cannot build the shower room too far away.

Someone suggested using baffles to enclose a shower room in the corner of the camp, but because water resources are precious, this was eventually abandoned.

Although there was a river nearby, who knew what was hidden in the secret river, not to mention it was almost night, so it was impossible to fetch water from the river.

Fortunately, there are no delicate little princesses among the girls in the team, so not taking a shower for a few days is not a big deal. Everyone knows what kind of mission they are shouldering this time, so they can still endure this hardship.

After dinner, Chu Yi and Li Ming were assigned to the same tent.

Someone had to keep watch at night, and Chu Yi volunteered to guard the first night.

The main reason was that he relied on the Samadhi True Fire to strengthen his life, and he was in a state of full energy every day. Even if he had been traveling through mountains and rivers for a whole day, he could recover his strength by sleeping for five or six hours at most.

Chu Yi covered his eyes with a mask and fell asleep at 8:30 in the evening, and got up at 2:30 to change shifts, so he could be fully refreshed.

Li Ming also knew that Chu Yi would have to keep watch later, so after recording the voice diary, he didn't make any sound, and even his breathing became light, for fear of disturbing Chu Yi.

At 2:30 in the morning, before Captain Shen came to call anyone, Chu Yi woke up at the urging of Monkey Brother.

Compared to Chu Yi who only sleeps five or six hours a day, Monkey Brother, who has achieved the Golden Core Realm, doesn't even need sleep. Sitting in meditation is equivalent to resting. When he opens his eyes, he naturally feels full of energy, and staying up late won't make him feel tired.

After drinking some sugar water, Chu Yi quietly unzipped his tent and left the tent amid Li Ming's heavy snoring.

"You woke up pretty punctually."

Captain Shen, who was in charge of the night watch, turned his head and smiled at Chu Yi. Sitting next to him was another female doctor, Qi Xue.

The two were originally chatting casually, but when they saw Chu Yi, they stood up.

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Lin appeared behind Chu Yi. He and Chu Yi would be in charge of the camp for the second half of the night.

Captain Shen and Doctor Qi returned to their respective tents to rest. Chu Yi let Monkey King out and let it find a tree branch to climb up and meditate, while Chu Yi sat by the campfire and ate beef jerky.

Doctor Lin sat down next to Chu Yi, picked up a branch and threw it into the crackling campfire.

The two of them remained silent for about ten minutes, and Lin Mu was the first to break the silence.

"I have heard of you a long time ago. You are blessed by the God of War and a natural talent. It is said that the future of China's beast taming world will be the era of you and Ji Chen."

Lin Mu smiled and brought up a topic that has been discussed too much by netizens.

"It's just the flattery of netizens. My starting point is much lower than Ji Chen's. It would be good enough if I could get the title of Beast Tamer like my parents in the future." Chu Yi smiled and said something against his will.

"Extreme self-deprecation is sometimes no different from extreme arrogance." Lin Mu looked at Chu Yi and said seriously, "If you can get resources at Ji Chen's level, your achievements will definitely be higher than his!"

"Maybe." Chu Yi smiled without comment.

"Come to think of it, have you ever wondered why no supreme beastmaster has come to take you as his apprentice in all these years? With your talent, you should be highly sought after by these top beastmasters."

Lin Mu changed the subject and raised a question that puzzled countless netizens.

"My principal helped me find a teacher before. I heard that he was a very powerful martial arts master. However, the master refused, saying that I had been blessed by the God of Martial Arts and would have to forge my own path in the future. Therefore, a teacher would be a burden to me."

Chu Yi explained this, and he has always been very convinced.

Because he had met the teacher that the principal had found for him. That teacher was an old man whose aura was as majestic as a mountain. Just standing there gave people a huge sense of oppression.

The old man gave Chu Yi two paths. One was to become his disciple and obtain resources that were no less than Ji Chen's. However, everything Chu Yi learned in the future would be marked with his mark. The upper limit would not be fixed, but it would be restricted.

The other path is for Chu Yi to go alone, which will be very hard, but the future is limitless.

With Chu Yi's determination, of course he would decisively choose the second option.

Therefore, Chu Yi never thought that there was anything wrong with this teacher. After all, he took the initiative to offer to take him as a disciple, and it was he who rejected the proposal.

"Is there a possibility that they said this on purpose just to make you reject them?"

Lin Mu raised a possibility that Chu Yi had never thought of, which stunned Chu Yi for several seconds.

After a long while, he said, "It shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"Let me tell you a story."

Lin Mu broke off the branch in his hand and threw it into the fire, saying softly, "There was once a genius, his performance was not as dazzling as you and Ji Chen, but he was still pretty good among the students of the same class. However, because he was born in a humble family, no famous teacher was willing to tutor him.

Finally one day, a senior title-level beastmaster was willing to personally teach this genius, but before accepting him as his disciple, he also asked similar questions as before. "

Chu Yi showed curiosity: "So this genius chose to go his own way?"

"No, this genius has suffered enough from poverty. In his eyes, even the slightest kindness from others is like a life-saving straw, let alone an olive branch thrown by a titled Beast Tamer?"

Lin Mu looked at the leaping flames with a dim gaze. He seemed calm, but only when he got closer could he discover the intensity inside.

"The genius agreed to become the master's apprentice, but not long after, the master changed his mind, saying that he was old and might not have the energy to teach the genius well, so he asked him to find another famous teacher.

It’s funny to say that this genius was rejected several times since then. China is so big, but he couldn’t find a master willing to accept him as a disciple.”

Having said that, Lin Mu's smile gradually became full of sarcasm.

Chu Yi also understood the meaning of the story as he listened, but he did not say anything. He just followed Dr. Lin's words and asked, "Why? Did this genius offend some important person?"

"That genius didn't understand why at first, but later on, by chance, he finally found out the reason. Everything was just that this genius won against someone he shouldn't have won, which disrupted the established plan."

Lin Mu took a deep breath, his smile turned bitter. "Just because he was not very obedient, he was immediately punished by Xiao Shi. If that genius had not woken up in time, he would probably still be working as a school doctor in a mountain primary school."

"Doctor Lin, the genius you are talking about is you, right?" Chu Yi swallowed hard, not knowing what to say for a moment. The Youth Olympics and the Morning Star Cup are both world-class beast taming events, and there are many events in them where winning a gold medal can make your popularity soar.

Even without becoming extremely successful, there will be absolutely no problem in working less for a few decades.

However, there are countless geniuses emerging in China every year. Some of these geniuses have the support of aristocratic families and capital, some are disciples of masters, or simply the children of masters.

In the world of beast taming, it is easier to become stronger than ordinary people if you have resources.

When the strengths are similar, the places in the competition will definitely be more inclined towards young people with strong backgrounds.

Therefore, in the early years, it was common for people with connections to get places in the competition, and some leaders would even ask the contestants to take the initiative to give in.

However, this chaos has been vigorously rectified in recent years, with quite good results.

At least now, if there is any competition, you must use your strength to get a place.

Because the Internet is so developed nowadays, if you really encounter any unfair treatment, you can just post it on Douyin or Weibo, and there are many people willing to help you make a big deal out of it.

The result of the matter getting out of hand is that an entire line will be torn apart from beginning to end.

So Chu Yi hasn't felt too much unfairness so far, but he has to admit that such a phenomenon does exist.

When Dr. Lin was young, this phenomenon should have been very common.

"I feel sympathy for Dr. Lin's experience. If this secret expedition can achieve great success, Dr. Lin can take the opportunity to report it to the higher-ups. I believe those people will definitely be punished, and he can vent his anger!"

Chu Yi was not very good at comforting people, so he could only use this method to make Dr. Lin feel better.

But can justice delayed be called justice?

Doctor Lin just smiled and waved his hand at Chu Yi's words: "I don't care about those past events anymore. Besides, I was compensated for being obedient later. I was sent to America at public expense and learned the most advanced medical skills in the world.

My current teacher is much better than my previous one, which is exactly what the saying goes: "A blessing in disguise."

"Indeed." Chu Yi nodded in agreement.

"Actually, I'm telling you all this because you reminded me of myself back then. Regardless of whether you've offended anyone or not, you should never have the intention to harm others, but you should always be on guard against others."

Lin Mu looked at Chu Yi with eyes full of expectation: "But you are much stronger than I was back then. Even if you really don't have a master, you still have the opportunity to reach the top.

If there really is such a day, I hope you can change all this, so that those children from ordinary families don’t have to worry about losing the opportunity to move up because they fail to please certain people. "

“Hahaha, I’m not that great.” Chu Yi grinned and scratched his head. “But if there really is this opportunity, I will definitely try my best to be fair.”

"I'm a little too polite." Lin Mu's eyes flashed with apology, "Children shouldn't be exposed to the dirty deeds of adults so early. Just treat what I said just now as the complaints of a thirty-year-old young man who has accomplished nothing."

Chu Yi opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything else.

From what Dr. Lin said, we can tell that he had suffered unfair treatment in the past, and it was almost to the point where he could not get any help from heaven or earth, otherwise he would not have such a strong resentment.

God will strike you down if you try to persuade someone to be magnanimous. Chu Yi will not let Dr. Lin let it go like that because he is not qualified.

So, should we help Dr. Lin collect debts from those big shots who harmed him in the past?
Chu Yi felt that he was not that great.

After all, he and Dr. Lin had only met for less than 24 hours, so they didn't even have any feelings for each other, let alone a friendship.

To put it bluntly, Dr. Lin was cheated, what does it have to do with him?

But then again, the Dr. Lin of the past may also be my future self.

If you don't speak up now, maybe no one will speak up for you in the future.

So Chu Yi thought that after this secret realm adventure was over, he could talk about this matter during the live broadcast.

He said that he had a friend who was targeted by some disgusting people because he won a championship that he shouldn’t have won.

When I return from the secret adventure, I will probably become a little hero who has brought glory to my country. I shouldn't be offended if I talk about these sensitive topics, right?
If I can help Dr. Lin get justice through this method, then I will be living up to my conscience.

Of course, Chu Yi never makes promises about things he is not sure of, for fear that failure to accomplish the promise will bring even greater disappointment to the person who received the promise.

As for why Dr. Lin told me so much tonight, it was probably because he wanted to remind me, who had a similar life experience, to avoid suffering in the future.

“There are still many good people in the world.”

Chu Yi sighed, and looked at Dr. Lin Mu with a little more kindness.

………………The dividing line between the setting moon and the rising sun………………

At nine o'clock the next morning, the entire expedition team had finished washing and eating, and after packing up the tents, Shen Bing continued to lead the team forward.

The original plan was to reach the boundary of the core area of ​​the secret realm within three days.

However, this expedition went much more smoothly than everyone had imagined, and we didn't encounter any particularly dangerous pets along the way.

Occasionally, a few more capable ones could be found. However, after sensing the imperial bloodlines in the expedition team, the pets in the secret realm would run away immediately. They were so alert.

It was certainly worth being happy that the expedition went smoothly, but apart from the peach tree, there was nothing else of note to gain along the way.

Quite a few medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits were discovered, but their value was far less than that of the peach tree.

Even though the resources in a Class D secret realm are relatively scarce, they are not as scarce as this.

After some analysis, Captain Shen believed that the good things should be concentrated in the core area of ​​the secret realm.

Of course, benefits and risks coexist, and the difficulty of exploration inside is probably not comparable to that of the outer areas.

"Everyone, you must be extremely careful with every step that follows, because what we are about to see is the true face of this secret realm!"

After a day and a night of rapid progress, the expedition team arrived at the dividing line between the core area and the ordinary area.

Staring at the thick fog in front of him, Shen Bing spoke to everyone with an extremely serious expression.
