Good luck with koi carp

At 11:30 in the evening, all the contestants stood in the open space outside in small teams, waiting for the game time to arrive in advance.


Before the competition even started, the leading teachers from each school took the time to finish all the instructions that needed to be given, so as not to miss anything and be unable to make up for it even if they wanted to.


Chili and the others were also grabbed by the leading teacher from their own school and told them, emphasizing that if they encountered any danger that they could not cope with, they must send a distress signal or tear open the teleportation scroll as soon as possible.


Each team will be assigned a copy of these two things before the game. The distress signal is something like a firework. Just pinch the bottom and twist it, and you can shoot magic fireworks into the sky, notifying the nearest teacher to come to the rescue. And teleportation As long as the scroll is torn open in an emergency, all students within a two-meter radius can be teleported to a safe place.


Double protection of students' life safety.


Seeing that the organizers were so well prepared, those who originally complained about the competition venue they had decided on became completely quiet now.


However, unless absolutely necessary, everyone will definitely not use these two life-saving items. After all, once one of them is used, the entire team will automatically be deemed to have given up the game and will be eliminated.


"...In short, whether you win the game or not is secondary. Your safety is the most important. Do you understand?" The teacher said a lot, and finally emphasized to Chili and the others with a serious face that everyone must use their own life is most important.


He is so nervous about the safety of Chili and his team, not because there are several students with extraordinary family backgrounds or even princes from their country in the team, but simply because he thinks that the students in this team are generally younger and less powerful. They are also the lowest, and they do not put their hope of winning the championship on them, so the only requirement for them is to focus on participation.


This time, the school's focus on letting Chili's younger team come to participate in the competition was to let the students come over in advance to practice. If they come to participate in the next three-school joint competition, they will be able to compete for the championship of that session. or.


So in fact, the school's expectations for them are in the next session. This session should be just for fun. Everyone just needs to do their best to collect some points and help their school accumulate some advantages while ensuring safety.


"Students..."


Seeing that the leading teacher continued to repeat the same words tirelessly, before Chili and others could stop, the leading teacher from Natale Academy stood up to speak again, and used amplification magic to attract the audience. attention.


Everyone turned their heads following the voice, and saw the other person holding a luminous crystal ball, suspended in the sky, looking down on all living beings like a god, with his own unique arrogance in his soft tone: "I forgot to tell everyone, this time The game is a little different than before.”


He pinched two fingers and put them in front of his eyes, saying that it was really just a little bit: "In order to better demonstrate the strength of our major colleges and allow the outstanding figures of the students to be better displayed in front of everyone, this year our tower Lai College also specially set up countless image transmission crystals in the competition venue, and sold the image crystal balls projected from the other end of the crystals as competition specialties. It is estimated that millions of copies have been sold so far. Anyone who purchases our Anyone who has a crystal ball image can see through the crystal ball what everyone looks like during the game, so students, please work hard during the game and show your best side."


"Oh shit!"


It was rare for Chili to hear Ekarina swearing so irritably, and she couldn't help but look sideways, but saw her face full of anger: "Who allowed those people in Talai to sell our image for money? How shameless!"


Larry and the others also looked unhappy.


As members of the royal family and nobles, they are very concerned about their external image, and they are very taboo about their embarrassing side being shown to the public.


Participating in a competition in the World of Warcraft Forest definitely requires a lot of ups and downs. Your life will be threatened at all times. Who has the time to take care of your own image? No one is willing to have their unsightly side shown. As a result, Talai College actually came to play this trick with everyone just before the game started. It was obviously planned in advance.


"I will tell my father about this when I get back." Larry said solemnly.


He is a member of the royal family, and Talai College randomly broadcast the crystal ball live broadcast without his consent. This move can be regarded as wanton exposure of the privacy of portraits of royal members of other countries. It has risen to the nature of a relationship between countries and needs to be controlled by the king of the Kingdom of Tsikangliwa. Ordered to send people to negotiate with the Kingdom of Talai.


But now, if they don't want to quit before the game starts, Larry and others still have to hold their noses and compete.


Of course they can refuse to participate in protest, but isn't this the same as admitting to the world that they are cowards who can't even confront others head-on?

Forget it if it were other times. After all, it is others who are unreasonable and not them. However, the battle for the crown prince of the Kingdom of Tsikangliwa has recently entered a fierce stage. Even if Larry is unwilling to participate, he has to think more about things. In the end, it is I can only hold my nose and endure this dumb loss.


"If you think about it this way, it's actually very suspicious that Talai College suddenly took advantage of this opportunity to do something like this, isn't it?" Lenana frowned.


Otherwise, why didn't you come here earlier to play, but why did you come at this time?


I'm afraid I didn't realize that Larry had no way to refuse to participate in the competition due to family matters at this time. And they, Prince Larry's followers, could only follow him to participate in the competition because of him. They all stayed, and the seniors Some of the senior students are not from noble or royal families. In fact, they don’t care much about their own portraits. Even if it is just for the honor of the school, they will not easily not participate in the competition. In this way, the team of Tsikangliwa Academy will no longer be able to withdraw from the competition. .


"What did Oureni say?" Isiel asked.


Due to various reasons, Tsikonriva was unable not to participate in the competition, so Oureni wouldn’t have so many restrictions, right?

"It's impossible for Oureni Academy to withdraw from the competition." Chi Li shook his head and replied: "You have forgotten that for a warrior, it is simply a shame for him to surrender without a fight."


Moreover, people’s reaction to being broadcast live is not as big as theirs. They obviously don’t care, so this problem is not a problem at all for them.


In fact, Chili also observed that many people at Oureni College became even more eager to try after hearing the live broadcast of the game. Not only them, but also teams from many schools were like this. Everyone seemed to think that this was A chance to become famous.


This is easy to understand for those colleges that are not famous enough. If their students can perform well in competitions and be seen by many people, then even if they fail to win the championship in the end, they have met the need to make the school famous.


It can be said that the arrangement of Talai College directly fits their needs.


So in the end, although this incident caused some commotion in the crowd, no one stood up to object, especially after Talai Academy promised to divide half of the proceeds from the sale of image crystals equally among all contestants. , and no one said another word.


It was the first time for them to see such a good thing as being famous and getting money, but it was strange.


"Everything has been planned, and we seem to have no other choice but to fall into the trap." Ekarina sighed and patted Larry's shoulder helplessly to comfort him.


"Then let's win the championship. Since their stage has been set up, what if we don't go up and perform well?" Chi Li raised her eyebrows and chuckled, suddenly feeling inspired to fight.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if it was the first time they saw her showing such a strong side, and then their originally unhappy expressions became full of fighting spirit: "To win the championship, you have to win the game fiercely. Since Talai Academy likes to give people Let’s watch, then let’s show everyone how they lost to our Tsikangliwa Academy!”


"The game is about to begin."


After only a short delay, the huge magic clock standing above everyone's heads had almost reached twelve o'clock.


When the last second skipped and the minute and hour hands jumped to the top twelve numbers, layers of gorgeous magic light suddenly lit up under everyone's feet. These lights were intertwined and quickly built into teleportation magic arrays. Teleport these students standing together in small teams into the competition venue.


At the same time, the crystal balls in the hands of those who bought the image crystal ball also lit up, and the game began.


Chi Li felt her eyes flicker, and she appeared in a dark primeval forest.


The surroundings were quiet, with only the chirping of unknown insects, occasionally mixed with one or two strange animal cries. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her shoulder to confirm that Ashix was still firmly lying on her shoulder. Relaxed, he began to explore around, looking for his companions.


According to the previous explanation of the rules of the game, team members standing together will not be teleported too far away, so as long as they expand the search area slightly, they should be able to find each other easily.


Before the person could be found, Chili suddenly spotted a shining object from the corner of her eye. She followed the light and turned her head to check, and found that the light seemed to be emanating from a hidden tree hole.


Using the scabbard in her hand to peel off some of the covering leaves, Chi Li discovered that the tree hole should be a food storage nest for some small animal similar to a squirrel. It was filled with many nuts and two small shiny beads. .


By coincidence, Chili recognized these two beads.


Just before the competition, the leading teacher from Talai College was still showing them. The smaller ones with a grayish-red color in the middle were the scoring beads, and the larger ones with only a white patch on them were the image crystals.


After Chi Li confirmed that the owner of the cave was not in the cave, he took out the integrating bead inside and grabbed a handful of nuts as a food reserve.


In order to test the students' ability to survive in the wild, although the competition does not restrict students from carrying weapons and other equipment, they are not allowed to bring food, water and the like. Even if you bring them, you cannot take them out to eat, but must take them from the competition. Food is available onsite at the venue to fill your stomach.


It just so happened that everyone in this competition was surrounded by countless image crystals. Even if they wanted to cheat and eat the food they brought, they couldn't. In the end, they had to honestly look for food on their own.


In fact, as long as you know more about it, it is not difficult to obtain food in the natural treasure house of the Warcraft Forest.


Like now, the lucky Chili encountered not only a point bead at the beginning, but also a food storage cave whose owner was not there, and he got the points and food at the same time.


However, considering that nuts are not very filling and can only be eaten as snacks, and considering that this is the food that other small animals have worked hard to accumulate, Chi Li did not take more and just grabbed a handful.


As soon as she put the points beads and nuts into two small bags, she heard a rustling sound behind her. She turned around suddenly, directly scaring Lenana who was about to sneak up and scare her. One jump.


"what!"


Lenana was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and then angrily accused Chili: "You have discovered me a long time ago."


"I'm not deaf. Your footsteps are so loud. I've already heard them."


Chili smiled and stretched out her hand to pull her up, and patted the fallen leaves on her body thoughtfully. Seeing that Lenana was still a little annoyed, she took out the bag with the integrating beads and waved it in front of her, coaxing her. : "Look, what is this?"
"What?" Lenana took the bag in confusion and squeezed it. This feeling...


The expression on his face suddenly changed to surprise, and he asked in disbelief: "Is that..."


"Hmm." Chi Li nodded proudly.


After opening it, sure enough, a bead representing one point was lying quietly inside. Lenana immediately hugged Chili excitedly: "That's great, how did you find it!"


How long has it been since the game started? Is it 1 minute?

They already have one point, who can be faster than them?


"There were some nuts in a tree hole. I grabbed a handful and took them out. If I don't find enough food tonight, I'll roast them and eat them as snacks in the morning."


They had already discussed it before they came in. They would explore for an hour after starting the game. After an hour, no matter whether everyone gathered or not, they would find a relatively safe place to spend the night, have a good rest, and then start exploring in depth after dawn. , and look for the integrating beads.


The Warcraft Forest at night is still too dangerous, so this is also a relatively conservative arrangement.


After successfully reuniting with Chili, Lenana relaxed obviously. She was just a squishy priest with no attack power and limited self-protection ability. After entering such a dangerous environment, she had to find powerful teammates for shelter as soon as possible. , otherwise it will be easily eliminated early.


Next, the two of them walked together, exploring the surrounding environment while continuing to look for other teammates.


As a result, before her teammates could find it, Lenana watched as Chi Li pulled out several points beads from various corners, which made her feel a little dazed: "So points are so easy to find?"


Encouraged by Chi Li's easy finding of the points beads, Lenana simply stopped looking for her teammates and directly joined the search for the points beads. She took her over and searched for them for a long time. Not to mention the points beads, they were of no use. She couldn't find any image crystals. Instead, Chi Li harvested three point beads again. Adding the ones she found earlier, she now has eight points!

This was equivalent to a huge sum of money in the early stages of the game.


"Did those beads jump into your hand consciously? Why don't you come to me? Is it because I'm not good enough?" Lenana touched her smooth and tender face as if she had self-doubt.


"It's not that you're not good-looking, it's just that I'm luckier."


Chi Li told the truth, but Lenana didn't believe it and kept touching her face.


"Lili, Lenana, I found you."


The sudden sound attracted their attention. They all turned their heads and saw Isil and Kolod walking out from behind the bushes, approaching them with surprise on their faces.


As a result, before the two of them walked in, Lenana cautiously pulled Chili back a big step and shouted, "Who are you?"


"We..." Isil and Kolod looked at each other, then raised their arms together, revealing the blue fluorescent ring on their wrists: "We are members of the third team of Tsikangliwa Academy."


"The verification is correct, you have finally found me."


After confirming the other party's identity, Lenana smiled and pulled Chili over to join her companions.


Because I heard that among the Warcraft in the Warcraft Forest, there are those who are very good at deceiving people by pretending to be members of the same team, so before coming in, Larry, the team leader, gave everyone a fluorescent bracelet and ordered Send a password, and as long as both parties match their bracelets and passwords, they can confirm each other's identities.


The bracelet is also a magic alchemy tool, so there is no need to worry about being snatched away. This becomes the best identification between them.


"It's just Larry and Ekarina."


There were only two people left in the six-person team. Seeing that the time was still two and ten minutes away from the promised hour, everyone simply continued to act, thinking that it would be best to meet everyone smoothly before the exploratory time was over.


Fortunately, after searching for more than ten minutes, they met Larry and Ekarina who were alone. When they met Ekarina, Chili also found that she was fighting a small monster.


Seeing that Ekarina was very easy to handle, everyone did not step forward to help. They waited for her to finish the battle before moving over to join her.


When everyone is here, the next step is to find a place to spend the night.


Chili may come in handy this time.


She took out the eight points beads she found and put some fighting energy into them. The eight beads lit up together, and a map of a small forest appeared about ten centimeters above, with eight red dots gathered together. Together, they obviously refer to the eight beads on Chi Li's hand.


If someone takes away a bead, one-eighth of the map will be broken into pieces, and the broken part of the map will be taken away along with the bead that was taken away. The range of the map shown on the bead is different. changes, but the specific position will change as the position of the beads changes.


For example, if a bead can display a map scene within a radius of ten meters at most, then if you take the bead and walk out of this ten-meter radius, the map scene above will also change accordingly, and a new one will appear. A map scene with a radius of ten meters radiating out from the center of the bead.


The range of scenes that can be displayed on the map will increase with the increase of point beads. This is equivalent to if Chili and the others can collect a sufficient number of point beads, they can even have a map of the entire competition venue, and can locate and search through these maps. The location of other integrating beads.


Not only can it speed up the search, it can also...


"Robbing whoever has the most." Ekarina expressed everyone's thoughts.


"Many people haven't started collecting points yet. Even if they want to grab them, it's not at this time. Let's find a place to rest first." Larry said.


According to the map, there are no caves near them, but there are three towering trees surrounding them. The roots of these trees are extremely lush and crisscrossed, magically forming a relatively airtight and large tree cave, suitable for them to live temporarily. .


The six of them decided to go and have a look. When they arrived, they found that the place was too small and it was still an owned place.


The owner of the tree hole is a litter of monsters with cubs. The monsters in this period will be more cruel. In order to protect the cubs, the mother of the monsters will lifelessly attack any outsiders who dare to approach them. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chi Li and others decided to remain silent. leave.


It's not that I can't beat him, but it's not necessary to have a temporary residence that I can't live in.


After much searching, they really couldn't find a suitable place. In the end, they all exceeded the time they agreed on at the beginning. As the night went on, everyone was already a little sleepy. There was no other way, so they simply climbed up a tree to rest.


Although it is not 100% safe in the tree, it is at least better than under the tree.


Chili occupies a relatively thick tree trunk. After lying down, she is glad that this body is young and not too tall. She can lie flat on this tree trunk slightly tilted, which will make her sleep more comfortable.


With her own balance ability, Chili was not afraid of falling into the tree. Even if she accidentally turned over in her sleep and fell, Ashix would not let her fall in pain, so she slept quite peacefully until The sky was bright, and the sunlight fell on her face through the gaps between the branches, waking her up from her sleep.


Sitting up holding the cloak that was used as a quilt last night, Chili yawned and asked, "What time is it?"


"Twenty past seven." Ashiks replied quietly as he loosened his tail from around Chili's waist and the tree trunk beneath her.


"Is everyone awake?"


Looking under the tree, I saw that Rod and Akarina, who had gotten up early, had already set up a fire below, and they were roasting the monster that Akarina had killed last night.


There was even a bubbling soup pot on the fire, with some mushrooms and the like floating in it.


After nimbly jumping down from the tree, Chili sat next to Ekarina and raised her hand to greet them: "Good morning."


"Morning." But Rhodes took a wooden bowl and filled a bowl of soup for Chili. He also used a knife to slice some barbecue for her and soaked it in the soup: "Try eating it like this, it's the way our Behemoth people eat it. Very delicious.”


"Thank you."


Chi Li took the soup bowl, picked up a wooden spoon and stirred it to dissipate the heat, and then started to taste it.


Not to mention, the greasy barbecue was soaked in the delicious mushroom soup, which removed the greasy smell and gave it a refreshing feeling without losing the mellow flavor of the meat. It was indeed delicious.


"It's delicious." Chi Li never hesitates to praise delicious food.


"Thank you, would you like some more meat?"


Rod was in a good mood after being praised for his craftsmanship. He picked up the knife and sliced ​​some meat into Chili, as if he wanted to feed her until she was full. (End of chapter)
