Chapter 202 Guarantee
Two thousand calories of Qi and Blood?
Wei Ranran's mind was suddenly jolted.
A Grandmaster seed with 2,000 kilocalories of Qi and blood, even in Yun Chuan, he would be a top-ranked member of the genius group.
But how can someone who has only been shortlisted for the provincial youth genius team for a month have two thousand calories of Qi and blood?
A surge of over a thousand calories in a month? How is that even possible?
Zhou Yunshu was also shocked when she heard that Chen Lie had more than 2,000 calories of Qi and Blood.
This person's blood and qi value is twenty times that of hers.
"Chen Lie is a potential Grandmaster?" Wei Hongye asked in surprise.
"It was just awarded a few days ago," Feng Yuelan said.
"Chen Lie's martial arts talent is truly exceptional; he's a potential grandmaster. I wonder if Ranran has any chance of being recognized as a grandmaster in the future," Wei Hongye said.
"How could there not be? Ranran is only 17 years old and she has already achieved so much. When she is the same age as Chen Lie, her grades will definitely be no less."
"Yue Lan, you don't understand. Among the members of the genius group, the gap between the Grandmaster seed members and the ordinary members is much bigger than you imagine," Hu Weixia said.
Wei Hongye then said, "Ranran, why don't you take this opportunity to add your brother Chen Lie as a friend?"
With your brother Chen Lie's martial arts achievements, even if you join the provincial youth genius team, he would be more than capable of guiding you.
"Well--"
Wei Ranran was a little embarrassed: "Chen Lietong—that classmate—, can I add you as a friend on Green Bubble?"
She sounded somewhat unsure of herself when she said that.
If Chen Lie's blood energy was only a hundred or two hundred calories higher than hers, no one could argue with her calling him "classmate." But Chen Lie's blood energy was more than double hers, and his strength was far beyond her reach. For her to still call him "classmate" only showed that she didn't know her own limitations.
When she was in Yunchuan, her circle of friends was small, consisting of a few dozen units of Qi and Blood. But when she was in the Genius Training Camp, the circle of friends was small, consisting of a hundred or two hundred units of Qi and Blood. If your level wasn't high enough, the circle wouldn't accept you.
Trying to build connections with people in higher circles is overestimating your abilities and may even lead to humiliation.
Chen Lie showed Wei Ranran his green bubble friend code and asked her to scan it.
After Hu Weixia greeted Chen Gequn for a few words, she arranged for the hotel to start serving the dishes.
Before long, the table in the private room was filled with dishes.
Wei Hongye warmly greeted them, "Gequn, Yuelan, please start eating."
"And Chen Lie, Xing Yao, hurry up! I specially added a 300-year-old spiritual herb to the dishes. Eating it will be good for you both."
Upon hearing Wei Hongye's words, Chen Gequn's family began to eat.
"Chen Lie, tell your uncle, how many members does your Dongchuan Province Genius Group have now?" Wei Hongye asked Chen Lie while they were eating.
Chen Lie replied, "28."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hongye immediately said to his daughter in a serious tone, "Ranran, stop worrying about your strength value. A strength value of 3.6 times is already quite high. Hurry up and raise the remaining dozen or so calories of health."
Pass the provincial-level assessment for gifted youth groups as soon as possible.
"Why, Dad?" Wei Ranran asked, somewhat confused.
"You don't know, the number of members in the Dongchuan Province's genius team is fixed, with a maximum of 30 people."
Once the 30 spots are filled, unless you're the next Ji Lingxuan from the three provinces of Sichuan, you absolutely won't be allowed to join as an exception.
Only after a member of the genius group is admitted to Blue Star University, or after a member of the genius group turns 19 and a position becomes vacant due to exceeding the age limit, can a normal promotion process continue.
"What? There's such a rule?" Wei Ranran asked in surprise.
"Of course, do you think Earth's resources are inexhaustible?"
A province only has so many resources; supporting thirty martial arts geniuses is already a huge undertaking, requiring the entire province's resources.
"Dongchuan Province is too poor. I've never heard of this regulation in Yunchuan," Wei Ranran said.
"Yunchuan must also have a limit. Apart from the top ten provinces on Earth, no province can afford more than fifty members of the genius group."
Even the top ten provinces on Earth will not release more than fifty spots for members of the genius team. The top ten provinces on Earth are not only competing for the quantity of geniuses, but also for their quality.
We will pool most of the province's resources to cultivate the most outstanding talents.
After Wei Hongye finished speaking, he said to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, I know that the members of your genius group are racing against time to practice their skills."
"Uncle won't take up another day of your time. After we eat, let Ranran's mom talk to your parents, and then I'll take you and Ranran to the Martial Arts Association to sign the guarantee letter, okay?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Okay."
"That's good, eat up, eat more!"
Wei Hongye nodded with a smile.
The meal lasted for more than an hour, during which Wei Hongye chatted with Ge Qun about the past.
After the dinner, Wei Hongye said with a smile, "Chen Lie, I'll take your parents home first, and then I'll ask the other two members of the genius group who are willing to vouch for you, so that Ranran can take you to the Martial Arts Association in her mother's airship."
Then, he said to Wei Ranran, "Ranran, you can take Chen Lie to the Martial Arts Association in your mother's airship later."
We'll get it done today.
"Yes, I know."
Wei Ranran nodded.
After finishing their meal, Wei Ranran and Chen Lie left the hotel together, boarded a red airship outside the hotel, and flew towards the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association.
"Chen Lie—shall I call you Brother Chen?"
Wei Ranran was about to address her classmate when she suddenly realized that the term was inappropriate, so she changed her address.
Chen Lie replied, "Whatever."
"Um—Brother Chen, how many Grandmaster seeds are there in the Dongchuan Province Genius Team?"
"Seven."
"Oh, it's not too little."
Wei Ranran originally thought that given the poor state of martial arts in Dongchuan Province, the number of Grandmaster seed members was likely less than half that of Yunchuan, but she was surprised to find that there were actually seven.
The airship traveled at an extremely high speed and soon arrived at the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association.
After disembarking from the airship, Chen Lie and Wei Ranran waited outside the Martial Arts Association.
"Is the martial arts training ground for the Dongchuan Province Genius Team located around here?"
Wei Ranran suddenly asked.
Chen Lie hummed in agreement.
"As expected, the training ground for the members of the Yunchuan Province's genius team is right next to the Martial Arts Association."
After waiting for about an hour, Wei Hongye also arrived outside the Martial Arts Association.
Upon seeing Wei Hongye, Wei Ranran immediately went over to him: "Dad, where are the other two guarantors you mentioned?"
Wei Hongye shook his head and sighed, "Don't say anymore. I went to visit one of the genius group members who had agreed to provide a guarantee, but his parents said that these two days are a critical period for his martial arts training, and he went to a neighboring province to exchange martial arts knowledge. They said they would look for him again in a couple of days."
"How can it be so unreliable?"
"That's normal. Members of the genius team practice every second counts. If it's a critical period for martial arts training, they definitely won't be able to find the time."
"Does that mean I have to wait two more days?" Wei Ranran asked.
Wei Hongye nodded and said to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, I'm sorry to have taken up your time."
"It's alright, Uncle Wei has already found a member of the genius team, hasn't he?"
So, we're only missing one now. Shall I give it a try?
"you?"
"I can ask a friend I know if she has time to come and act as a guarantor; that wouldn't be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hongye immediately said, "That's true. You're a member of the Genius Group, so you must know other members of the Genius Group."
"Well then, you give it a try, and I'll also call over my old comrade's son."
"good!"
Chen Lie took out his communicator, opened Green Bubble, found Luo Zhixun's friend, and sent her a message.
"Do you have time?"
However, after waiting for a long time, Luo Zhixun still did not reply.
Chen Lie was not surprised by this. People who are devoted to martial arts practice for more than ten hours a day on average, so it is impossible for them to stare at the communicator all day long.
At this moment, Wei Hongye made a communication call and then returned.
"I just contacted my old comrade-in-arms. He said his son is training in martial arts. He has already sent a message to his son, asking him to contact me immediately after finishing his training and come to the Martial Arts Association."
My old comrade's son is named Mo Sheng, Chen Lie. Do you know him?
Chen Lie shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
"That's normal. After all, the provincial youth genius group focuses on martial arts training. Even if they meet in the genius group, they probably won't say more than a few words."
"So—where's the person you're in contact with?"
"He hasn't replied to my message yet, but it shouldn't be a big problem," Chen Lie said.
"Okay, we'll wait here."
Wei Hongye nodded and led Chen Lie and Wei Ranran into the Martial Arts Association hall to wait.
After waiting for about two more hours, neither side had a fuse.
Wei Ranran seemed a little anxious: "The members of the Dongchuan Province genius team are all very busy people. It's not easy to get just three of them together."
"Don't rush, just wait!" Wei Hongye said.
After some time, Wei Ranran checked the time and said, "We haven't heard from either side. Is it even possible to get things done today? The Martial Arts Association is almost closing time."
Wei Hongye also shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid it really may not work out."
"How about we talk about it another day, Chen Lie? Thank you so much for your help today."
Just as Chen Lie was about to speak, his communicator beeped.
Upon picking it up, I saw that it was Luo Zhixun's reply.
Luo Zhixun: I was practicing martial arts just now and didn't check my communicator. What's wrong, Chen Lie?
Chen Lie edited a message: I need your help with something. If you have time, please come to the Martial Arts Association.
Luo Zhixun: Okay, I'll be there in about fifteen minutes.
After receiving the message, Chen Lie put away his communicator.
"Uncle Wei, my friend replied. She said she'll be there in fifteen minutes."
"That's great! But I haven't heard anything from my end yet, let me check again!"
As he spoke, Wei Hongye went to the side and made another call.
Not long after, Wei Hongye returned.
Wei Ranran asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
"Don't even mention it. Your Uncle Mo said that Mo Sheng might be at a crucial moment in his training and hasn't seen the news yet. He said we should talk about it tomorrow."
"Isn't this too unreliable?" Wei Ranran couldn't help but say.
"It's okay, as I just said, I've decided to wait a bit longer."
"I hope it can be done today, otherwise who knows if someone will be busy or unavailable by tomorrow," Wei Ranran said.
Shortly after, Luo Zhixun walked in from outside the Martial Arts Association.
She spotted Chen Lie immediately and walked over to him: "Chen Lie, what do you need me for?"
"Well, this Uncle Wei Hongye is my father's former comrade-in-arms. The reason I called you here is—"
Chen Lie explained the matter in detail to Luo Zhixun.
"Oh, I see. You mean you want me to help sign a guarantee?" Luo Zhixun said.
"Yes."
"It's alright, it's nothing. We'll go sign a guarantee." Luo Zhixun said after hearing this.
"Not yet, we're still missing one person. We need three members of the genius team to jointly vouch for us," Chen Lie said.
"Oh? Is that so? Then—"
"Uncle Wei also found a man named Mo Sheng, but Mo Sheng was probably practicing martial arts and we couldn't see the communication messages."
''
"Mo Sheng? I heard he's been practicing an A-rank martial art lately, from six in the morning until eleven at night every day. I'm afraid he doesn't have the time, right?" Luo Zhixun said.
"Oh? Is that so? But since we're here, let's wait a little longer."
Wei Hongye walked over at this moment: "Chen Lie, this is your friend."
Chen Lie hummed in agreement: "Her name is Luo Zhixun."
"Hello, Luo. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me."
"You're welcome." Luo Zhixun shook her head slightly.
After waiting for about half an hour, Wei Hongye called again to inquire.
A moment later, he came over angrily: "That old Mo, he agreed so readily when we asked him for help, but he messed up at the crucial moment."
Wei Ranran couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what's wrong with Mo Sheng? Is he still capable?"
I think the Martial Arts Association is about to close for the day.
Wei Hongye was also helpless, but he had already waited all afternoon, and if he just left like this, he might not be able to get all three of them together next time.
"How about I find someone else?" Luo Zhixun said.
"Can we find it at this hour?" Chen Lie asked.
"It should be fine. Jiu'er is practicing in the training area next door; she should be finished by now. Shall I ask her?"
"Alright!"
Luo Zhixun nodded and sent a message to Tang Jiu'er using her communicator.
A moment later, Luo Zhixun replied, "Jiu'er said she's on her way and will arrive within ten minutes."
"So, we've gathered enough people?"
Wei Ranran said with delight.
Luo Zhixun nodded gently.
A short while later, Tang Jiu'er appeared in the hall of the Martial Arts Association.
Luo Zhixun saw Tang Jiu'er and immediately waved: "Jiu'er, over here."
Tang Jiu'er walked over: "Zhixun, is something the matter?"
"That's how it is—"
Luo Zhixun recounted the incident to Tang Jiu'er.
"Oh? I understand, three people are needed to help with the guarantor verification."
However, are there any risks associated with this guarantee?
"What risks could there be? Even if the person being guaranteed does transfer their resources from Dongchuan Province to Yunchuan, would the Martial Arts Association really hold them accountable?"
"That's definitely not the case."
Tang Jiu'er looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, you're pretty good. Even Lu Qingyun fell to you. Want to spar sometime?"
"When all members of the genius team compete, there will naturally be opportunities for them to spar," Chen Lie said.
"We have enough people now, and I think the Martial Arts Association is about to close. Why don't we go and sign the guarantee now?" Luo Zhixun said.
Chen Lie said to Wei Hongye, "Uncle Wei, we've gathered enough people; we can proceed with the guarantee."
"Okay, okay, I'll get three copies of the guarantee. You just need to sign them."
Wei Hongye quickly led Chen Lie and the other two to the second floor of the Martial Arts Association and found an acquaintance in charge.
On the second floor of the Martial Arts Association, Chen Lie, Luo Zhixun, and Tang Jiu'er sat at a black table, each with a guarantee in front of them.
"Fill out the information of your genius team members, then sign your name in the guarantor section, and then give me your genius team member ID cards to verify their authenticity."
Chen Lie picked up a pen, filled out the guarantee form, and then handed it to the acquaintance in charge.
After receiving the guarantee letters and identity badges from the three people, the manager immediately used a computer to verify their authenticity by displaying their identities side by side.
"How is it? Will Ranran pass the review for joining the provincial youth genius group?" Wei Hongye asked hurriedly.
"With someone vouching for it, of course there's no problem."
As the manager was speaking, he suddenly exclaimed, "Eh!"
"Hey Lao Wei, you've got some connections! You said you couldn't get three members of the Dongchuan Province genius team to help you, but now you've found three Grandmaster seed members to vouch for your daughter."
"What? Three Grandmaster seeds?"
