Chapter 355: Chapter 354
"Yang Ge, what do we do? They won’t really withhold our Points, will they?" Hu Xiao asked anxiously.
Kong Yang clenched his fists, his face a mixture of anger and panic: "Absolutely not."
There are 300,000 Points in the Light Brain, and if they’re divided equally, each person would get over 30 thousand, which is more than 300 thousand Star Coins.
The second miss was right; these wealthy people simply don’t understand what more than 300 thousand Star Coins mean to them.
They haven’t even told them that one Honor Point can be exchanged for 10 Star Coins.
Recalling the last look of disdain they gave him.
The resentment made him lose his last bit of guilt.
He even felt good about it.
So what if they are rich and look down on him; they still have to fail the class with him.
"Someone will definitely help us," Kong Yang suddenly said with a determined look.
*
On the other side, including Qu Tong, everyone’s faces were grim.
No one expected to be eliminated for such a dramatic reason at the end.
Although the Points were still theirs and weren’t going to be wiped out, no one felt happy.
"It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t misjudged people, those two bastards wouldn’t have had a chance to exploit us," Cheng Yao said, full of remorse.
"It’s my fault for not catching the Light Brain, causing all of us to be disqualified," Fei Wenxing said, grabbing his flaxen hair in frustration, his eyes reddening, on the verge of tears: "Sister Tong, hit me, so I’ll feel a bit better."
"Enough, it’s not your fault," Qu Tong interrupted the self-pity of the two.
This matter had her involvement as well; if she had accompanied the school’s ship, maybe they could have avoided Lan Xingye’s sabotage.
If she had handed the Light Brain over to Xu An earlier, it might not have ended up in Kong Yang’s hands.
But there were no ifs.
"Afterwards, I’ll go and ask the tutor to request the surveillance, they didn’t contribute much, so they won’t get many Points."
Originally, she was planning to divide them equally like last time, but some people obviously didn’t deserve it.
"That’s still too generous for them, they shouldn’t get a single point," Fei Wenxing said indignantly.
What team has as many Points as them, no matter what, they earned them.
Qu Tong didn’t want to continue on this topic and shifted it: "We flunked the mid-term exams; how about figuring out how to improve our final exam grades?"
Beyond that, there was no other solution.
When it came to this topic, both Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao’s heads drooped.
"Xu An Ge, Song Ke, do you have any confidence?" Cheng Yao looked toward the two with the highest potential.
Xu An shook his head heavily.
Song Ke, however, had been calm from the start: "The theoretical part is okay, the practical part is a bit difficult."
Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao exchanged glances, overwhelmed with despair.
See, even Xu An and Song Ke weren’t confident, not to mention the two of them were terrible in theory, and getting perfect scores in practice was utterly wishful thinking.
Although He Zhou was somewhat disappointed, it was still within an acceptable range.
Without them, even graduating was questionable for him.
"Everyone should go back and rest early. Once this matter settles down, I’ll invite you to visit Luyi Star," Qu Tong comforted them.
"Yay!"
"I want to eat lychees, grapes, big watermelons!"
"All good, as long as you can eat it."
"Then I should starve for two meals before I go."
"You could starve for three days and it wouldn’t be a problem."
Talking about pleasant things, everyone’s gloomy mood was swept away.
The school set up a simple temporary dormitory, and because of their status, they were assigned to a single room, so they didn’t need to squeeze into a four-person room.
After spending six days exposed to the elements outside, Qu Tong finally took a comfortable shower and drank the allotted mid-level Nutrient Solution.
However, Qu Tong couldn’t get a good night’s sleep.
In the unfamiliar environment, and still under the watchful eyes of greedy wolves and tigers, she couldn’t sleep soundly no matter how tired she was.
As the sky began to brighten with the first light of dawn, and the morning silence reigned, Qu Tong’s eyes suddenly snapped open, a fierce light flashing and then gone.
After waiting for a while, Qu Tong got up, drew back the curtains, and picked up a blue and white scale from outside the window, her eyes gradually growing colder.
Looking at the dense dormitories around her, she hesitated for a moment, then clutching the scale, she climbed out of the dormitory and headed towards the direction where the silhouette had vanished.
"Rather than fighting for Points, I’d rather see her backstabbed by her teammates," someone said.
Just as she had moved some distance, the faint voice of Lan Weiying reached her ears.
There were also the voices of Lan XingruiRui and Kong Yang.
Qu Tong planned to get closer and listen carefully to what they were saying.
Just as she extended her spiritual power, she sensed something off.
A powerful Star Beast was approaching!
At least Eighth Tier!
Qu Tong looked at the scale in her hand and understood.
Without a word, she threw the scale like a hidden weapon towards Lan Weiying.
"Who’s there!"
Lan XingruiRui sensed something amiss, and intercepted the scale before it could reach Lan Weiying’s face.
The scale, hit by spiritual power, shattered into pieces.
As if responding, a bell-like roar spread through the air, and it was very close.
The noise was so loud that the camp immediately sounded the alarm.
The moment Qu Tong threw the scale, she ran towards the camp.
But the Star Beast was fast, and its massive body burst from the dense forest, toppling many sturdy trees and attacking the spot where Lan XingruiRui had just been standing with a momentum that seemed unstoppable.
Lan XingruiRui and Lan Weiying dodged immediately, and the soldiers under Lan XingruiRui’s command also took Kong Yang away.
The Star Beast raised its head high, its blood-red eyes coldly watching Lan XingruiRui and his people.
At this moment, Qu Tong also clearly saw the Star Beast’s shape, similar to that of an Electric Patterned Snake, but this one was larger and stronger, grayish-white, with blood-red electric patterns on its belly.
The aura around it was very weak, and if she weren’t so close, she would have had a hard time noticing it.
Lan XingruiRui and Lan Weiying also spotted Qu Tong, surprise flashing in their eyes.
The Electric Patterned Snake opened its mouth, and a thunderball flew towards Lan XingruiRui.
"Ninth Tier Star Beast!"
"How can there be a Ninth Tier Star Beast near the examination area!"
"There are people outside! It’s Captain Feng!"
"And other students!"
The instructors and students inside the camp were also drawn out by the commotion, but they didn’t dare to leave the safety of the protective net.
Fei Wenxing and others also noticed Qu Tong, waving their hands anxiously and shouting, "Sister Tong, why did you run out? Hurry back in!"
Xu An’s hand was also on the Mecha Space Button, his fingers trembling slightly with nervousness.
"Don’t panic, I’ve already sent someone to the main camp to mobilize the army," the deputy officer, accompanied by two soldiers, came out to stabilize the situation.
Outside the protective net, Qu Tong watched the Ninth Tier Star Beast’s tremendous attacking power and could almost imagine the casualties it would cause if it were inside the protective net.
If Qu Tong ran, she might be attacked, so she decided to hide behind a half-broken tree stump instead, used her spiritual power to conceal her presence, and calmly observed the battle unfolding.
"Why attack us?" Lan Weiying asked with a pale face, seemingly puzzled.
If it weren’t for fear of being overheard, Qu Tong guessed she would have asked why the beast wasn’t attacking her.
"You go first!" Lan XingruiRui pushed Lan Weiying away, taking it upon himself to draw the Electric Patterned Snake’s attention.
