Chapter 90 - The First Fight to Start the Dragon Hall Sect (1/2)
The same smile was shared between two people.
Qin Fen quickly realized that this man had also calculated today’s date to have a high probability of passing.
Not a hint of sweat could be seen on Zhang Xiangyang’s forehead, nor were there any computers or paper besides him. His appearance told Qin Fen that he had finished his calculations much earlier in a skillful and easy manner.
That’s way too fast! Qin Fen’s eyes lit up. He never believed himself to be genius, but he had confidence in his mental calculations. Then there was the training he has been receiving from Gun King these days, pushing his mental calculation ability to a level unreachable before. However, he had just been outdone by a comrade who continued to hide his talent.
Possessing this kind of speed in mentally calculating probabilities was a guarantee to get into the officer school channel of the military! Qin Fen was shocked in his heart. This person ought to be someone the military region requested in secret, right? In any case, it was a bit ridiculous to have placed Zhang Xiangyang and Du Peng in the same company, let alone the same squad, right?
“Have you decided when you’re going to go do the sect challenge?” Zhang Xiangyang’s smiled. Clearly, he already knew the answer. He was letting Qin Fen understand that he had his own secrets he needed to maintain.
Taking one’s own secret and telling it to someone else who had secrets of their own was a sort of secret exchange as well.
Qin Fen wasn’t a talkative person, but his brain was not stupid. He naturally understood this sort of exchange that Zhang Xiangyang was secretly trying to convey.
“Probably today.” Qin Fen picked up his helmet and spoke to everyone. “I’m going to start the application to open a sect first.”
Qin Fen entered the main environment of the Sky Battle Net once more and stood in the virtual high-tech city. He quickly walked to the application office to open a sect, according to the introduction on the web page,
Qin Fen got an application form and looked at the first item of note on the form, which was the requirement to pay a hundred dollars as an application fee. His heart ached when he saw it.
It wasn’t that Qin Fen was stingy, it was just that he didn’t like to spend money in this completely virtual world. From his perspective, this place should be making him money, not the other way around.
It’s just this one time! I’ll spend money just this one time!
Qin Fen nailed a new principle in his mind, and he repeated over and over to himself to convince himself that this was a necessary investment to make even more money.
He quickly filled out the fields in the form until he reached the field that asked for the sect’s name. Only then did Qin Fen realize that he never thought about the name for his sect. He gazed at the field for the sect’s name and was stupefied for a time.
A system created virtual young lady arrived before Qin Fen. Her synthesized voice was beautiful and soft as she asked, “Excuse me, do you need any help?”
Compared to the harsh synthesized voices of the sub-channels, the main channel’s synthesized voices were much more pleasant to the ears.
Though she was a virtual person, Qin Fen maintained a polite smile. “Here. I’m having some difficulties with this.”
“Do you want to look at the names of the sects founded by other martial artists?” The virtual lady asked.
“Sure.” Qin Fen gave a hurried nod. Having a reference was always better than not having a reference.
The virtual lady raised a hand, and a projection screen appeared before Qin Fen. Large quantities of sect names scrolled quickly down the projection screen.
Soaring Dragon Pavilion, Instant Kill Sect, Heaven Revolving Gate, Great River Union, Beneath the Heavens Assembly, Beauty and the Dragon Sect, Loli School, Apple Pie, Broken River….
Qin Fen looked at the dazzling names. He could feel the general thoughts of the sects’ creators just from their names.
Sects with names such as Loli School, Apple Pie, Beauty and the Dragon Sect, and so on should be sects founded by playful martial artists to create fun and trouble.
As for Soaring Dragon Pavilion and Heaven Revolving Gate, these sounded like very formal names. They should be martial artists who were announcing their dreams a bit, wishing to make a name for themselves in the Sky Battle Net.
Qin Fen looked at the names of over a hundred sects before he began to understand something. Founding a sect didn’t require it to be called a ‘something something’ sect or a ‘something something’ gate. There was a large degree of freedom when it came to the founded sect’s name.
After some thinking, Qin Fen quickly filled the sect name field with a name of his own decision—Dragon Hall.
Qin Fen finished filling out the form and submitted it.
The virtual beauty asked him, “Excuse me, what time did you choose for the sect’s founding?”
“Right now.” Qin Fen made his answer very decisively.
“Then please pay the application fee.”
The virtual beauty opened the payment system for Qin Fen and waited for him to transfer the application fee of a hundred dollars from his account.
Qin Fen firmly transfered the hundred dollars out of his account, his heart aching a bit, but he had not a hint of regret or hesitation.
One must not hesitate when doing things. One must make decisive decisions. It was intolerable to have even a sliver of hesitation on the battlefield. Half a second of hesitation was the distance between life or death.
Gun King, Squadron Leader Trash, Butcher, and the other drill instructors constantly instilled this concept into Qin Fen. Right now it was deeply imprinted within Qin Fen’s mind. Even in his day-to-day life, the concept had begun to imperceptibly influence his actions and behavior.
