Chapter 352: Chapter 351: Two Teams Meet

"Captain Lan declared the top scorer in such a manner, is that really appropriate?" Han Song raised his concerns.

Lan Xingrui paid no attention to Han Song’s words, "Isn’t it more interesting this way?"

Even though Han Song and others were unhappy, the message had already been sent out and nothing could be changed now.

Moreover, as the special commander for the exam, Lan Xingrui held absolute authority within a certain scope.

On the exam field, the students who received the notification exploded.

"What on earth? 150,000! Am I hearing this right? It’s only the fourth day."

"They can actually exchange for Honor Points, why didn’t they say so earlier, damn it!"

"Now I get why they are robbing everyone like bandits."

"First Military Academy’s Qu Tong? Isn’t that The Prince’s Consort’s team?"

"If we rob their team, couldn’t we directly gain 150,000 Honor Points?"

"Let’s take a risk, from a bicycle to a motorbike, no, to a yacht!"

...

On the other side, Qu Tong, who had just robbed the last team of their bicycles, also heard the broadcast.

"What the heck? Aren’t they just openly calling everyone to gang up on us?" Cheng Yao glared, completely baffled.

The others didn’t look any happier.

Fei Wenxing cursed, "It must be that despicable little man from Blue Planet, his brother... mmph mmph..."

Fei Wenxing hadn’t finished speaking when Cheng Yao covered his mouth, signaling with his eyes toward the micro live broadcast sphere in the air.

Fei Wenxing quieted down but still couldn’t help muttering under his breath.

"Seems like we need to plan carefully." Song Ke sighed, then jokingly looked at Qu Tong, "Sister Qu Tong, every time I follow you, it’s so thrilling and exciting."

"I don’t want it to be like this either." Qu Tong spread her hands, "There’s always someone trying to harm The Prince’s Consort."

She only wanted to quietly harvest some points.

As evening fell, Qu Tong and her people found a secluded cave to rest for the night.

While eating roasted fish, they started to discuss strategies for the next day.

Qu Tong mixed the Energy Liquid overnight, three tubes for each person; she gave one tube each to Song Ke and Xu An from her share.

"Worthy of being a Potion Grandmaster’s apprentice, this Elixir Talent is something else."

In the office of Blue Planet, the intelligent brain projected a surveillance feed that should have been closed at night; the adjutant sincerely exclaimed.

Having attended only a semester and a half of classes, the technique of concocting Energy Liquid was already so proficient, the success rate in such an environment was very high, and based on their performance these past two days, the effects should be quite good as well.

Lan Xingrui, playing with the military’s newly updated Ion Gun, twisted his bushy eyebrows and gave the adjutant a cold look upon hearing this.

The adjutant, realizing his slip of the tongue had displeased the captain, quickly made amends, "But compared to Miss Weiying, it is still far from enough."

Lan Xingrui was indeed pleased and no longer exerted pressure with his presence.

What? Comparing them with Xiaoying?

Lan Xingye watched the people in the feed coldly, and his naturally fierce face showed a sinister smile.

The adjutant beside him broke into a cold sweat.

The next morning, Qu Tong led her team to an ambush on the commonly used route to the southern endpoint.

It was the fifth day, and if nothing unusual happened, many teams would gather in this direction.

Backing off was not an option, they might as well complete the task early.

The original plan was to stay until the seventh day, robbing a few more teams. Now there was no need for them to seek out teams, as there were plenty sending themselves their way.

After successfully ambushing in one location, Qu Tong would switch to another, always striking unexpectedly.

After four or five teams fell victim, the news spread.

Several teams joined forces to besiege Qu Tong.

Qu Tong had already noticed a Sixth Tier Star Beast nearby and deliberately led the people there.

"Now you can’t run, hand over the Points..."

"Roar!"

Before he could finish his harsh words, a roar came from the valley, followed by a huge beast resembling both an ape and a monkey, with exposed yellow fangs both sharp and long.

A Sixth Tier Star Beast not on the mission list only scored 500 Points, making it hard to fight and not worthwhile.

"First, avoid combat, split up and run!" one of them said.

"Haha, too late."

A smoke bomb flew over, and before the people could react, an unknown spiritual power successively flung them into the waterfall.

Xu An and Fei Wenxing, who had been ambushing in advance, jumped down from under the tree and moved swiftly away.

The water wasn’t deep enough to drown a person, but it delayed their escape, forcing them to confront the Sixth Tier Star Beast head-on.

Qu Tong had planned to wait until both sides were injured before harvesting some Points, but unfortunately, not long after moving out, she was chased by another group.

Qu Tong tried to lead her team towards the direction with fewer teams.

A tug-of-war was definitely inevitable.

Fortunately, not piloting a mecha, it wasn’t so draining on spiritual power.

Xu An and Song Ke led the charge, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao covered the rear, He Zhou and Qu Tong looked for opportunities to launch surprise attacks.

Although Kong Yang was A-rank in physique, his strength wasn’t even comparable to B-rank He Zhou’s—Qu Tong had them move in the middle, occasionally finishing off a few that slipped through the net.

Even when there were more people, they tried to protect them as much as possible, never abandoning them.

From morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, Qu Tong led her team back to the base of the waterfall.

The most dangerous place is often the safest.

After a hard day’s work, they could finally rest.

Luckily, their journey had always been around the river connected to the sea, otherwise they would have to worry about survival issues.

The Points on the Light Brain rose to a new high, reaching 240,000.

They had encountered over twenty teams today, but not many had a significant amount of Points, as not all teams could complete their tasks.

So, a hidden rule was added, one did not need to complete the random task, but having 10,000 Points still qualified as a pass.

Qu Tong calculated that each person could get about 30,000 Points, a decent sum, and after discussing with everyone, they decided to cease actions and prepare to go to the end point to turn in the task the next day.

The Energy Liquid was gone, and they had been too busy fighting in the last two days; the previously collected Energy Herbs were also used up.

*

The next day, as soon as Qu Tong walked out of the valley, she encountered several teams from the First Military Academy, including Lan Xingye.

Sticking to the principle of fighting when outnumbering and fleeing when outnumbered to conserve strength, Qu Tong led her team and headed straight into the dense forest.

Naturally, Lan Xingye pursued them relentlessly.

This time, Qu Tong was not so lucky and ended up in a dead end, with a steep cliff behind them and Lan Xingye stopped in front of the cliff with more than twenty people, laughing wildly, "It seems even the heavens want to help me."

Just as Qu Tong was preparing for a tough fight, rustling sounds came from the bushes on the left.

Suddenly, a group of about twenty people appeared.

Qu Tong looked over, and it was exactly the three teams she had led to the lair of the Star Beast yesterday, students from the Third Military Academy.

The leader, Explosive Head, lit up when he saw Qu Tong, and his followers also showed excitement.

Explosive Head pointed at Qu Tong about to speak, but Qu Tong stepped forward first, "Are you here for us?"

Caught off guard by Qu Tong’s words, Explosive Head instinctively replied, "Nonsense, if not for you, who else would we be looking for?"
