"Now, you should understand why I acted so crazily just now, right?"
Meng Chao's expression gradually became stern. His voice was like drumsticks that struck the three elites' eardrums at a moderate pace. "Only when you have to risk it all and accumulate enough capital will you have the right to calmly and calmly choose the best strategy when you're in trouble and in danger.
"Information is the most important part of a battle. The real practical test for the national college examination didn't start a few hours ago. It started more than a month ago when the number of injured and dead people was announced.
"From the moment you learned that the number of injured and dead people has increased, you should know very well that the boss-level monsters this year will definitely be fiercer than in previous years. It's definitely not a good idea to fight against them head-on. The key to winning is how you get points from the small monsters and elite monsters and establish your advantage in the rankings.
"That's why I started racking my brains from the moment I got my equipment. I used hand grenades and napalm bombs at the start to preserve my stamina, and when I fought against the Illusion Cats, I drained my stamina and healed my injuries. I might seem crazy, but in truth, I was just trying to avoid fighting against the boss.
"As for you? You chase after perfection too much. You chase after elegance and purity. You want to be unharmed after a fierce battle and still be a shining young master.
"Perhaps this is a goal you can achieve in the university or in the virtual battlefield, but in a real battle, if you slack off and hesitate during the early stages, you'll be in ten times more danger when you're in a desperate situation!"
Luo Hai and the other two shuddered, as if they had just been enlightened.
"Did you really start thinking about the boss a month ago and come up with a strategy related to it?" Luo Hai asked in disbelief.
"That's right. Since it's a battle that will change our fates, I naturally have to think about every detail."
Meng Chao was not lying.
Even though he could see some blurry images from his previous life's memories, this ability had a lot of limitations.
In his previous life, he did not join the practical test for the national college examination. Instead, he went to the monster research center to join the practical test for specialized colleges.
At that time, he was depressed, and his internal injuries acted up. He could not even get into a higher vocational college, so there was no way he would have the mood to pay attention to the contents of the national college examination.
Hence, he did not know that the boss this time would be a Blade Shattering Python.
But when he thought about it carefully, if he wanted to increase the difficulty of the national college examination, he had to arrange for high-grade monsters with incredibly high offensive power, but he could not make the death rate of the examinees too high. The high-grade monsters could not be too aggressive, and it would be best if they were monsters that would not attack unless they were attacked.
'By the way, I can't kill these high-grade monsters instantly. I have to give the invigilator time to save them.'
There were not many high-grade monsters that fulfilled all three conditions at the same time.
Meng Chao found dozens of such monsters' fighting styles, physiological parameters, attack weaknesses, and the best way to fight them. He used a month to think about it and came up with dozens of different strategies.
The core of all tactics was to sweep points like crazy in the early stages. Only then would they be in an invincible position.
After thinking about it deeply, Luo Hai and Fang Da put on expressions of admiration.
A notification popped up at the corner of Meng Chao's eyes.
[Normal citizen Luo Hai has received your guidance. Combat experience increased. Contribution points increased by 15.]
[Normal citizen Fang Da has received your guidance. Combat experience increased. Contribution points + 13.]
Xie Feng still could not accept it. He gritted his teeth and felt greatly humiliated.
Meng Chao frowned a little. "I'm really asking for trouble. I'm telling you practical experience that can't be bought even with money. Those with brains might thank me after thinking about it carefully, because this experience might save their lives in the depths of the fog in the future, but those narrow-minded people will think that I'm too arrogant and hate me to the core. Why should I do that?
'I should have said nothing just now and just followed behind you. I should have just waited to pick up scraps. Why did I have to remind you?'
Xie Feng's face turned red.
He was indeed proud, but he was not an unreasonable person. But when he thought about it carefully, he found that there was no need for Meng Chao to remind them.
Xie Feng had given him guidance selflessly, but he harbored a grudge against him. He was just too narrow-minded.
"Meng Chao, thank you for your guidance!"
Xie Feng was a person who was able to let go of things. When he thought about it, he immediately let go of his obsession and thanked Meng Chao sincerely.
[Normal citizen Xie Feng has received your guidance. Combat experience increased. Contribution points increased by 17.]
Meng Chao smiled faintly.
At that moment, they were all competitors, but after the national college examination, they would be comrades in a trench when they faced the fierce monster horde.
This was the reason why he was willing to provide them with guidance.
Fortunately, the three of them had pretty good temperaments. They were a little grateful, so he did not waste so much saliva on them in vain.
"If you really want to thank me, just injure a few more Blade Shattering Pythons later so that I can pick up scraps. They're here!"
As Meng Chao spoke, he retreated into the shadows in the corner.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
A foul stench came from outside the window, along with the sounds of something crawling.
Four huge pythons popped their heads out of the window. Under the illumination of the blood moon, they looked incredibly monstrous.
Squeak!
The Illusion Cats shuddered. The Rapid Biting Rats had long since fled without a trace.
Luo Hai, Xie Feng, and Xie Feng gulped.
The pressure and fear a large monster gave off was completely different from a small monster like the Illusion Cats.
But they had no other choice. They could only shout, swing their sabers, and jump up.
Luo Hai and Xie Feng were luckier. Each of them faced a Blade Shattering Python. Even though it was difficult for them, they could still maintain their offense.
Fang Da from First High School was unlucky. Perhaps it was because he was slightly plump, but the monsters viewed him as the weakest among the three. Two Blade Shattering Pythons fought against one of them, and they wanted to get rid of his weakness first.
Fang Da barely managed to block a few rounds, and his gel fighting suit was torn to shreds by the Blade Shattering Pythons' erect scales. Eight bloody wounds appeared on his fair, fat flesh.
If he knew that he was going to be injured, he would have imitated Meng Chao and used himself as bait to lure the Illusion Cats. At the very least, every drop of his blood could be exchanged for valuable points!
Now, he could only jump up and down like a spinning top. If he was the slightest bit careless, the Blade Shattering Pythons would tear off a piece of his flesh.
Fang Da was angry and anxious. His stamina gradually ran out, and he could only turn around and run.
The two Blade Shattering Pythons opened their mouths and chased after him.
Fang Da ran around the workshop three times. He wanted to jump out of the window, but the Blade Shattering Pythons were one step ahead of him, and he fell in a corner.
Even though there was a drone above him and the invigilator nearby, the Blade Shattering Pythons needed a long time to kill and devour their prey.
But when he saw the two pythons descend from the beam and open their mouths to smile savagely at him, Fang Da felt as if his life was over.
Then, he saw a saber slash that came at lightning speed.
The saber glare was like a bolt of lightning that exploded in the air, but also like a shooting star that came from beyond the heavens. It left behind a burning mark on his retina.
One of the pythons jumped up and slithered away. In an instant, it vanished without a trace.
The other python looked as if it had been struck by lightning. Its vertical eyes froze, and a thin red line appeared behind its head. It became thicker until blood gushed out.
The huge python's head fell off and rolled to Fang Da's feet. Its mouth was still open and closed.
Fang Da's face was pale.
Meng Chao floated out of the shadows like a ghost. He did not even look at Fang Da and used the plastic bag in the MRE to collect the python blood that gushed out.
Half of the snake's carcass was still hanging high on the beam. The thick python blood was like a shower shower. It covered his head and face, making him look like the God of Slaughter who had walked out of a mountain of corpses.
Fang Da was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had not attacked the Blade Shattering Pythons for more than a minute while he was running.
Hence, even though the two monsters were chasing after him and biting him, they had already become the other examinees' prey.
And Meng Chao had used just one slash to cut into the Blade Shattering Python's weak spot. From the perfect angle, he found the gap between its vertebrae and beheaded it cleanly.
What terrifying saber technique was that?!
And just how precise was his understanding of the monster structure?!
The blood moon hung high in the sky, and bloody fog rose. Meng Chao's image in Fang Da's heart was shrouded in layers of mystery.
Fang Da gasped for breath for a while before he could not help but ask, "W-What are you doing?"
"Most of the blood of snake-type monsters is filled with spirit energy. It can also stimulate the central nervous system and release the potential in the cells. It's a natural stimulant," Meng Chao explained.
"There's so much snake blood. It'd be a waste to waste it."
As he spoke, he opened a bag of snake blood and drank it. He wiped off the blood at the corners of his lips and clicked his tongue as if he was drinking fine wine.
Fang Da fell silent.
He naturally knew the benefits of snake blood.
But most snake-type monsters' blood was fishy and astringent. They had to go through a series of processes before they could be made into medicine and consumed.
But this guy drank snake blood without batting an eyelid. Was he a savage?
Meng Chao did not have time to care about the strange gazes from the greenhouse flowers.
He had used his body as bait to kill the Illusion Cats, so he had used up a lot of energy.
Once he drank two bags of snake blood, his mind cleared up a little, and he could carry out even more meticulous work.
Whoosh!
The scalpel spun and danced around his fingertips. Then, he cut open the Blade Shattering Python's scales as if there was no one there.
He dug his entire arm into the Blade Shattering Python and dug around before he brought out two bloody materials.
They were snake gallbladders and snake hearts.
Snake gallbladders could clear the brain, stimulate brain cells, and stimulate the limits of life. It was very beneficial.
A snake's heart was a lump of meat, but there were a few drops of heart blood in it, which was a natural stimulant that was one hundred times more effective than normal snake blood.
He whistled softly and put away the snake gallbladder and heart. He smiled at Fang Da before he returned to the shadows in the corner.
"Fang Da!"
Luo Hai and Xie Feng had gone through a lot of trouble to kill one Blade Shattering Python each. They did not even have the time to catch their breaths and went to Fang Da's place to pick up the leftovers.
When they saw the shattered monster carcass on the ground, they sucked in sharp breaths. "I didn't expect that you'd be such a ruthless person!"
"It wasn't me." Fang Da was dejected. "It was him."
"Him?"
Luo Hai and Xie Feng looked at each other at a loss. After a long time, they finally found Meng Chao lurking in the corner.
He had become one with the darkness, and only his sparkling eyes could be seen.
When he saw the trio staring at him, Meng Chao grinned.
For some reason, his smile made the trio's skin crawl.
Slurp, slurp. Three more Blade Shattering Pythons came out of the window.
Luo Hai, Xie Feng, and Xie Feng perked up and swore that they would fight in the glory of the three key high schools in the province.
Fang Da gritted his teeth. Even if he had to cut himself up, he wanted to twist off this monster's head.
But against his expectations, after the ground trembled faintly, the three Blade Shattering Pythons froze for a moment. Fear shone in their eyes, and they shrank back and disappeared.
"They ran away?" Luo Hai, Xie Feng, and Xie Feng looked at each other at a loss.
Their auras were not strong enough to intimidate the Blade Shattering Pythons, right?
But Meng Chao had goosebumps all over his skin.
He smelled an extremely dangerous aura in the air.
Beep beep beep beep!
Their communicators suddenly started beeping rapidly, and they shone with an ominous red light.
