The night was gentle and quiet. However, the city's night was much noisier than the day. The night market in the university town was a perfect example of this. As the sky gradually darkened, neon lights flickered. All kinds of street vendors were shouting. The fragrance of all kinds of snacks filled the air. There were also all kinds of small goods that attracted the eyes of passersby.
In an outdoor stir-fry shop in the bustling night market, there was a table of customers that had a completely different atmosphere from the hustle and bustle around it. There were three men sitting there with solemn expressions that seemed somewhat out of place. However, to the owner of the small stir-fry shop, Old Wang and his wife, these three were regular customers here.
However, he didn't have the black hair and black eyes of a normal person. Instead, he had white hair, white eyebrows, and blinking white eyelashes. Even his eyes were pink. His pupils were pinkish red as they contracted. His expression carried a hint of sadness. His facial features were delicate and pretty, and his body was rather thin. Although his skin was very white, it wasn't deathly pale. At this moment, he covered his forehead with one hand and sighed deeply. "Considering our credits in the city college, our failure rate, as well as the results of the group combat test, I feel like we should properly think about our livelihood before the next test …"
Sitting to the left of Ye Cang was a man called Chang Zhengxiong. He had a chiseled square face like a sculpture. His facial features were firm and masculine. His body was abnormally well-built. His eyes were round like a tiger's, giving people the impression of a boorish man. However, even if he was sitting, no one would doubt that he was at least 185cm tall. At this moment, he clasped his hands behind his back and nodded. He casually looked at Ye Cang and said, "Bro, what's your idea?"
Among the three, the one sitting to the right of Ye Cang was an ordinary-looking young man named Lin Le. He had the appearance of a big boy from next door. He had short hair and a strand of ahoge that swayed from time to time. He was relatively petite, about 1.6 meters tall. His eyes were more lively than usual, but there was a bit of dullness in them. When he heard Ye Cang's words, he shrugged as if he didn't care and lightly nodded in agreement.
Ye Cang slowly placed her hands on the table and crossed her fingers in front of her face. She took a deep breath, raised her white and clean eyebrows, and said seriously, "In terms of subjects, we'll most likely have to repeat until we die. And our only hope is the actual combat group test. We've also been eliminated, but! I still have a plan for our current situation, but unfortunately, my plan to pretend to be Lele and call his rich girlfriend to ask her to provide for us has failed. So it seems that we can only start the backup plan and find a part-time job to last until the next group test. "
Chang Zhengxiong raised his head and thought for a while, then doubtfully reminded her. "That, bro, letting sister-in-law provide for us is the backup plan …"
"Brother Lil 'Xiong, what does providing for mean?" The person involved, Lin Le, blinked his big eyes and said doubtfully.
Ye Cang and Chang Zhengxiong looked at each other and sighed. Ye Cang rolled her eyes at Lin Le and continued to talk. "The next group test will be in half a year. We need to make a living, so Axiong, you're in charge of pushing the cart and selling fried cakes. Lele, you're in charge of setting up a stall to roast sweet potatoes …"
The two slowly nodded. Chang Zhengxiong felt that something was wrong. "Bro, what about you?"
"I'll be in charge of supervising you and collecting money." Ye Cang said coolly without blushing or skipping a beat.
At this moment, the sound of a holographic advertisement once again appeared in the noisy night sky. The three of them raised their heads and looked at the dazzling holographic advertisement in the sky. Sword and magic intertwined, justice and evil collided, countless classes and all kinds of creatures fought in the sparks.
"《New Era – Faith》 will officially open at 9 tonight. An unknown and mysterious new world is waiting for you to explore! Brave warriors!! What are you waiting for! "
《New Era – Faith》 was planned by the gaming alliance and released by the federal government of each region. It was a new season of highly realistic virtual games. There was also a restriction that only 18 years of age could enter. After a short and dazzling battle advertisement.
"Wow ~, it feels so awesome …" Lin Le's eyes flashed with the light of a child's yearning.
"Bro, what do you think about taking advantage of this season to become a professional gamer?" Chang Zhengxiong looked at the holographic screen and muttered.
Ye Cang slowly retracted her hands from the table and leaned back in her chair. She closed her eyes and frowned slightly. After thinking for less than a second, she suddenly nodded and said seriously. "Alright, then it's decided. Cheers!!"
Lin Le happily revealed a child-like innocent smile and shouted. "Long live Little White!"
Ye Cang smiled indifferently. She reached out and patted Lin Le's head. Then she raised her wine glass. The three of them looked at each other and drank in one gulp.
"I say, you three are already drinking!?" Just as the three of them were drinking, a slightly hoarse female voice came from the front. Although it was a bit hoarse, it gave people a very relaxed and cheerful feeling.
The three of them all looked towards the source of the voice. The one who was out of place was a tall and beautiful woman wearing a pitch-black tattered windbreaker, leather jacket, leather skirt, long fishnet stockings, knee-high leather boots, extremely heavy makeup, smoky eye makeup, and gorgeous crimson red lipstick. She was full of dark gothic style. She was carrying a large guitar case and walked towards the three of them with a smile. Everyone around her looked at her strangely, but the three of them were already used to it and didn't have much of a reaction. This person was the one the three of them were talking about. Her real name was Wu Na. She was in charge of a band called Falling Sand, which was quite famous in the east side of Lin Hai College.
"The band is very busy today?" Ye Cang smiled and looked at the person who had come.
"Yep, we're going to perform soon, so we've been adjusting for a long time today." Wu Na shrugged. She put away the guitar case and slowly sat down. She quickly opened the bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly looked towards the freshly baked squid. "I'm starving. Right, how was your test?"
"We didn't pass! We all failed! "Ye Cang slightly raised her chin. Her expression was cold as she proudly said with her hands behind her back.
"Same!" Chang Zhengxiong patted his chest and laughed heartily.
"Me too! Me too! "Lin Le was like a child jumping for joy.
"… …" Wu Na looked at the three of them and choked. She was speechless and roared: "This isn't something to be proud of!!"
Wu Na helplessly sighed: "Then what about the group test?"
"We've been eliminated!" Ye Cang's posture didn't change as she proudly said.
Wu Na rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to ask why, the holographic announcement not far away began to broadcast: "For this group test, the groups that passed are number T-13 and T-36 … (omitted). We hereby announce that group T-105, Ye Cang, Chang Zhengxiong, and Lin Le. Due to their extremely vile behavior, they caused three instructors and 15 group members to suffer severe mental trauma. They have been eliminated from the group test and have been disqualified!!"
"… …" Wu Na's mouth was wide open. What did these three bastards do!!? She suddenly turned to look at the three of them.
"Well done!" Ye Cang raised her hands and high-fived Chang Zhengxiong and Lin Le in celebration.
"… …" Wu Na didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt short of breath. She once again felt suffocated. She continued to roar: "What did you guys do!? Also! This isn't something worth celebrating!! "
Ye Cang and the other two stared blankly for a moment, then slowly came back to their senses. They raised their heads and began to recall.
"I remember when we were barbecuing by the river in the third area. Someone called Instructor Wang said some dirty words to us, but then he was knocked out by Brother Lil 'Xiong …" Lin Le murmured.
"After that, we stripped him of his clothes and confiscated his equipment. I think Lele said, 'Let's punish the bad guys who bullied us ~ ~'. Brother also agreed, so we tied him to the raft naked, and then …" Chang Zhengxiong added.
"It's all Lele's fault! Why did he have to make a wish during the festival! "Ye Cang sighed and interrupted.
"Eh! You guys humiliate an instructor like that!? "Wu Na's mouth was wide open. These three guys were already out of control. She raised her eyebrows." Wait! What do you mean by making a wish!? "
"I prepared three candles. After lighting them, I put them on the raft, but there was no space, so I could only put them on that bad instructor. I made a lot of wishes. For example, I wished for world peace. I wished for everyone to be happy forever …" Lin Le's eyes were full of hope. He began to recall his wishes and the scene at that time. The three of them put their hands together and faced Instructor Wang who was about to go on a naked journey. They all closed their eyes and made a wish.
"However, after that, I realized that this might be a good opportunity, so I showed off a bit of my strength as a master strategist …" Ye Cang once again took over the topic and sighed.
Wu Na was already stupefied. It wasn't over yet. Do you guys want to play Instructor Wang to death? She facepalmed. "There's more!?"
"After that, bro used the floating raft to make an electromagnetic trap with the electromagnetic grenades confiscated from the instructors. He hid them under Instructor Wang's butt. As long as someone let go of the raft to save him, it would detonate. Through the moisture and the surrounding water, it would cause a large area of paralysis. In short, he electrocuted two instructors who went to save him. Then, we stripped them of their clothes, confiscated their equipment, and made three more raft traps. Just like that, we snowballed. We took a stroll along the river and killed three instructors and fifteen small teams, until we were called back to the command center …" Chang Zhengxiong said proudly, with a hint of regret.
"Unfortunately, they said that our combat results were invalid …" Lin Le pouted unhappily.
"Hah, there's nothing we can do. The heavens are jealous of our elite team. However, in half a year, we will return … "Ye Cang sighed, then smiled. She reached out and put her arms around their shoulders to comfort them.
"Definitely!!" Lin Le and Chang Zhengxiong both nodded with a smile.
"Bro, next time, let's just find a way to blow up the command center." Chang Zhengxiong said unhappily.
"Yeah! Too hateful. They actually told us to go to the command center just to wipe us out … "Lin Le fanned the flames.
"Humph, don't worry. This enmity … we'll get our revenge …" Ye Cang put her arm around their shoulders and sneered as she looked at the holographic announcement.
"…" Wu Na facepalmed, speechless. Is this still a f * cking combat test!? It wasn't the first time that an electromagnetic grenade had been detonated under her butt. She couldn't help but shudder. Knowing the three of them better, she began to pray for the next participant. She sighed deeply and asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Enter Conviction and become professional gamers for a while. See if we can make some money. While we're at it, we'll wait for next year's test. Oh right, Nana, come with us tonight." Ye Cang's words made Wu Na roll her eyes. She couldn't help but roar in her heart. You three want to enter the gaming world and become professional gamers!? You think you can become a professional gamer just because you're human!? You think it's that easy to survive in the virtual world!?
Wu Na felt powerless, but then she thought about it. She sighed deeply with a headache and nodded. She'll just treat it as playing with them.
"Alright! Then it's settled … "Ye Cang nodded, pleased. She opened the bowls and chopsticks. The four of them chatted and laughed as they entered the dining room.
College City's third science building.
"This T-105 group, Ye Cang, Chang Zhengxiong, Lin Le. Haha, they're really three interesting guys …" A middle-aged scholarly man in a suit muttered after looking at the combat test data. He then opened the holographic template of the three of them and scrolled to the ability test data.

"A normal person's IQ is 90. These three guys are all lower than normal, especially this Lin Le. He clearly got in through the back door. Oh, wait ~ He was actually recommended by Song Xin? As for this Ye Cang, what do you think … "The middle aged man tapped his fingers on the table and slowly turned his head to look at the woman in the tight commander uniform. She had a capable ponytail and an elegant oval face that was exceptionally cold and meticulous. He said with some disdain," In this group T-105, the core strength is all on Zhang ZhengXiong. As for this Lin Le and Ye Cang, they can only come up with some bad ideas, but they can be ignored … "Ye Cang nodded and said with some disdain," In this group T-105, the core strength is all on Zhang ZhengXiong. As for this Lin Le and Ye Cang, they can only come up with some bad ideas, but can be ignored … "
"Is that so …" The middle aged man smiled and rubbed his chin. "Forget it. Let's observe Chang Zhengxiong first. Gather some information on his background. The five schools competition isn't far away. Besides Qin ShaoTian, Yang Huo, Sun Xue, and the others, we still need some outstanding fighters."
"I understand." The ponytailed woman nodded with a serious expression and turned to leave.
The man thought of something and asked with a smile, "Oh right, how are Instructor Wang and the others?"
"They're traumatized by the electromagnetic grenade. Their emotions are extremely unstable. Seven of the groups have chosen to specialize in liberal arts …" The woman didn't look back and directly left. She thought of the rescue mission she had brought. That spectacular scene of a group of naked people drifting on rafts. She also thought of the shivering students in the hospital and the roaring Instructor Wang and the others who wanted to kill people. She sighed.
The man looked at the image of Ye Cang's calm appearance and smiled, muttering, "Is there nothing outstanding about them?"
