Disaster Strikes - Chapter 4:

Chapter 4: Violence Solves Everything

Night falls.

The Disaster Academy provides a free high-quality meal for the new starving students!

In the world of disaster, food is not produced not due to laziness or ignorance, but rather the laws of the world. Not only is there no land for plants to grow, but the sky also lacks the light of the sun, moon, and stars. Apart from the limited land directly commanded by the major Evil gods, the entire world can be said to be devoid of life, with almost no resources other than bones, stones, and water.

It can be said that the only resource in the world of disaster is the more active time and space laws than other worlds, which allows natural disasters to easily cross the world barriers. Therefore, all resources in the world of disaster need to be plundered from other worlds, including food.

Food is the most basic resource in the world of disaster, consumed by everyone every day and needing to be purchased with precious disaster contribution points.

As for disaster contribution points, they are the currency in the world of disaster recorded by the light brain data chip.

The exquisitely roasted meat, with a light golden colour, twelve dishes of dipping sauce, each with its own flavor, plump fish roe, matsutake mushrooms on ice, sweet and soft cream bread, enticing red wine, and a few fresh and plump cherries…

For these starving students, the high-quality food in front of them is truly luxurious.

The contribution points required for just this meal are probably in the three digits, a price they simply cannot afford.

Even Lei Wu showed some excitement, let alone the other starving students.

Dong! The clock on the wall struck nine o’clock on time.

“It’s a pleasure for all of you to come to the River of Sorrow Disaster Academy. From today onwards, I will be your enlightening mentor, and you can call me Mentor Qinghong.”

She raised her glass to signal to everyone.

“In the next one hundred days, I will do my best to fully explore your potential and cultivate you all into qualified natural disasters to pass the upcoming starving ghost student trial.”

The adult starving ghosts imitated each other, raising their glasses in return, while the abyssal starving students and the abandoned ones were a bit flustered.

After the somewhat restrained completion of the ceremony, everyone began to enjoy the food in front of them in various postures.

Compared to the wolfing down of charcoal, the smacking and praising of the food, Chen Mo tried hard to restrain his desire to devour due to hunger, trying to maintain the most basic etiquette and taste the food in front of him with relative elegance.

Until the table was a mess and the banquet was over.

Then everyone was taken to a huge mixed-gender dormitory.

In the cruel society of survival of the fittest in the world of disaster, there is only the driving force of strength and no protection based on gender, nor are there any so-called moral constraints. To Chen Mo, the mixed-gender dormitory, which seemed absurd, was quite natural for the other starving students, without causing any ripples.

Inside the huge dormitory, although the beds were in pairs, there were dozens of them, enough for everyone to be allocated.

Chen Mo chose a bed near the window and spread his only luggage, a fur blanket, on top.

“Get lost, I want this spot.”

A domineering voice behind him made Chen Mo look back in anger.

This person is one of the five adult starving students.

If I remember correctly, when he introduced himself at the banquet, he called himself Fei Xiaojian. He seem to covet this window-side spot and came over to compete for it.

The two stared at each other for a moment. Although Chen Mo was angry, he didn’t say much.

In the world of disaster, violence can solve everything. The other party’s strength was obviously superior to his. Chen Mo put away the blanket and quietly changed to another bed.

“It’s a good thing you didn’t act impulsively. That guy’s basic palm technique level has reached Lv5, and he has mastered an E-level combat skill. Don’t provoke him.”

Chen Mo’s new bed was next to Charcole, and he whispered a warning.

Du Fangyan, Du Qingqing, and Han Xue’s beds were all close to Charcole. Chen Mo only then realized that Fei Xiaojian had occupied his bed not because it was close to the window, but because it was close to the other adult starving students.

Thinking of this, his anger subsided a bit. It was due to his own carelessness.

As for the so-called E-level combat skill, according to the memories of the stone, it is the lowest rating among combat skills.

The lower the rating of the skill, the lower the growth of additional basic attribute damage, but this does not mean that low-level skills are useless.

First of all, learning lower-rated combat skills requires lower basic attributes and basic skill level requirements, so they can be learned earlier.

Secondly, the lower the level of the skill used, the shorter the cooldown time and the less energy consumption, allowing for frequent use to deal with various complex situations.

Finally, lower-level skills often come with various negative attributes and control effects, which can pave the way for higher-level skills, eliminating of the risk of failure of higher-level skills, and achieve the effect of a one-hit kill. In short, the strength of a disaster survivor does not directly depend on how many combat skills he has mastered, but on the combination effect of various skills he has mastered.

“Get out of here!”

A stern rebuke quieted the room, and everyone looked over.

The one scolding was none other than Lei Wu.

But unlike Fei Xiaojian, Lei Wu actually asked a charming girl with a beautiful face who had approached him to leave.

At this moment, the girl named Tian Tian looked embarrassed.

This person is also one of the five adult starving students, named Tian Tian.

“Brother Lei Wu, what are you afraid of? I’m just afraid of the cold at night and want to be close to you. I won’t eat you.”

After the embarrassment, Tian Tian continued to act coquettishly and tried to explain.

But as Lei Wu slowly turned his head, facing his cold, dignified, and sharp gaze, Tian Tian finally sensibly left, but still looked reluctant.

“Hey hey.”

Charcole, seeing this, was envious and laughed softly, “She’s a succubus talent, best at charm, tsk tsk.”

On the other side.

“What, what… what are you doing?”

While Tian Tian was embarrassed by Lei Wu, there was a panicked and frightened voice from another corner.

“Let go of me, let go of me.”

Although she was scolding, her soft voice made people feel like their blood was boiling.

Charcole and Chen Mo turned their heads, only to see that an adult starving student named Lu Yi was pulling the tender and delicate hand of Du Qingqing, licking his lips with a strange smile, completely ignoring the angry gaze of Du Fangyan next to him.

“What are you afraid of, just let you sleep next to my bed, not asking you to sleep with me, hehe!”

On the other side, Du Fangyan, who was tightly clenching his fists, his eyes almost bursting with blood, panting heavily like a bull, did not dare to speak out to stop him, but just watched helplessly as his sister was harassed.

“Stop!”

It was Han Xue who stepped forward, shouting loudly, stopping Lu Yi’s wanton behavior.

Lu Yi slowly turned his head and looked at Han Xue, who was staring at him angrily, while still holding Du Qingqing’s wrist and looking at Han Xue up and down.

“What, do you want to come over and accompany me?”

“You’re dreaming!”

Although Han Xue had not yet had the opportunity to learn combat skills and had become an orphan and did not have the confidence to defeat Lu Yi, but she knew that a person could be without power, but absolutely could not lose the courage to resist, otherwise, they would be taken advantage of and ravaged wantonly.

Although the world of disaster does not sympathize with the weak, advocating that violence can solve everything, it is not completely without social rules. For example, one cannot kill at will in gathering places. This is a rule set by the Disaster Gods, who are the most powerful violence in the world of disaster.

Immediately, she looked at Du Fangyan, Charcole, and Chen Mo for help with her eyes.

Charcole lowered his head, pretending not to see, and used his eyes to warn Chen Mo not to meddle.

Seeing that neither Mu Tan nor Chen Mo reacted, Han Xue looked at Du Fangyan.

“This is your sister!”

But at this moment, Du Fangyan, although tightly clenching his fists, his eyes almost bursting with blood, and his heavy panting like a bull, still did not dare to speak out to stop him. He just watched helplessly as his sister was being harassed by Lu Yi.

Slap! Lu Yi slapped Du Fangyan.

After being hit, Du Fangyan’s anger also extinguished. He completely wilted and chose to lower his head like Charcole, not daring to look at Han Xue and Du Qingqing.

It seems that the reason this guy was abandoned is not without cause; his weak character is his biggest obstacle.

At this moment, the gaze of everyone in the dormitory turned towards this side, seemingly waiting to see how Han Xue would handle it. Faced with Lu Yi’s aggressive behavior, Han Xue looked ferocious, as if she had already prepared for the worst, but no one doubted her determination to resist to the end.

“Let him go.”

A cold voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Ku Wu, one from the Abyssal Starving Ghost Trio, who spoke up in time to stop the situation.

The other two Abyssal Starving Ghosts looked at him in surprise, wondering why he was meddling in this matter.

Lu Yi seemed to be provoked, staring fiercely at Ku Wu.

“Are you trying to be a hero?”

Ku Wu didn’t say a word. He slowly stood up, his tall figure seeming even taller, and after locking eyes with Lu Yi, he walked directly to the open area of the dormitory.

Of course, Lu Yi understood Ku Wu’s intention.

With a cold sneer, he let go of Du Qingqing’s wrist and followed.

Then, in the gaze of everyone, without any nonsense, the two of them immediately started fighting, first with tentative punches and kicks, and then directly engaging in a full-on fight.

“No wonder Stone was so afraid.”

There’s no such thing as a fight here; there’s only combat. This is a huge psychological test for many people. If this happened before crossing over, it would not only violate school discipline, but probably also involve legal issues. However, here, everyone is already used to it.

“You’re looking for death!”

With blood oozing from his forehead, Lu Yi looked like a crazed wild beast.

After struggling for a while, he had already lost about 40 of his 90 health points, although Lu Yi initially received less damage, the surprise attack with his Wolf Claw had already reduced his opponent’s health by at least 60 points.

If his E-level skill were to hit, combined with the previous damage, the opponent’s health would decrease by more than 90 points, plus the bleeding effect.

The most important thing is that after using the skill, he can continue to follow up with a regular claw attack!

Even if the opponent doesn’t die, he would probably be in a weakened or even dying state.

Lu Yi smiled ferociously, seeming to see victory in sight. The bloodthirsty nature had made him forget that this was the Disaster Academy and what consequences would result from actually killing the opponent.

This also made Chen Mo truly understand the cruelty of the disaster world.

In the critical moment, Ku Wu, who had been in crisis in the eyes of everyone, suddenly used an incredible speed to easily dodge Lu Yi’s fatal blow, causing him to miss.

With a ‘clack’, the Wolf Claw left five scratches on a nearby stone table.

“Impossible!”

Lu Yi’s shock was hard to hide, his brain spinning rapidly.

After excluding the opponent’s special talents and combat skill judgments, there was only one conclusion: the opponent’s basic agility skill was at least 5 levels higher than his own. His own basic agility was at Level 2, so the opponent must be at least Level 7!

At this moment, Chen Mo also noticed that there were scratches of all sizes on the tables, walls, and floors in the dormitory, and the five scratches just now were not very conspicuous.
