The next day.
Yang Fan, who had spent the entire night watching martial arts videos, arrived at school with a pair of panda eyes. He boarded the school's own mini airship.
The Cloud Prism Type I airship had both offense and defense. It could accommodate up to 300 people. Yang Fan, under the guidance of his homeroom teacher, Mr. Huang Zhong, arrived at the temporary cabin that belonged to Class 29.
The cabin was about ten square meters. There were two rows of seats on the left and right, so there were exactly ten seats. When Yang Fan came in, there were already four people seated inside.
Yan Han, Hua Yue, Zhao Zhu, and Xia Zixuan, who had lost a leg to Yang Fan yesterday.
When he saw Xia Zixuan, Yang Fan raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised. He did not expect this girl to be here too. Putting aside the fact that her injuries were all healed, judging by her aura, she seemed to have broken through to martial master.
When he saw Xia Zixuan glaring at him with anger and murderous intent, Yang Fan could not help but grin. This girl really did not learn from her mistakes. He had just taught her a lesson yesterday. Had she forgotten it so quickly?
Or did she think that after breaking through to the Martial Master realm, she was so powerful that she could take revenge on him?
Naive!
Yang Fan pursed his lips and walked into the cabin door. He casually found a seat and sat down, not taking Xia Zixuan's threat to heart at all.
"This time, only the five of you from Class 29 are participating in the resource battle this time. As usual, I'll explain the rules of the trial first."
After Yang Fan sat down, Huang Zhong coughed lightly and began to fulfill his responsibility as the teacher in charge this time. He softly explained some of the rules and things to take note of in the competition trial.
"The duration of the trial is nine hours. It officially starts at eight in the morning and ends at five in the evening. All students who are still alive must board the airship on time before the sky turns dark."
"This is very important because the airship will only stay on the ground for five minutes. If you can't reach the designated boarding location on time and board the airship within two minutes, then you can only walk back to West Chu City in the dark."
When he said this, Huang Zhong looked at Yang Fan seriously because he knew that this was Yang Fan's first time participating in a resource battle trial in the past three years. He might not know some of the rules very well.
"In a while, when you reach the designated trial area, the airship will drop you to the ground. The location is random. Whether it's safe or not depends on your luck. If you happen to be thrown into a group of monsters, other than running and wishing you good luck, no one can help you get out of danger."
"Unless you take the initiative to shout for help and the artificial intelligence determines that you have voluntarily given up on this trial, the guardian teachers nearby will definitely not take the initiative to help. Even if you really end up in the mouths of monsters, they can only watch helplessly."
"Also, the competition is divided into two parts. One part is the battle between students and monsters. Every time you kill a level one monster beast, you will be awarded one point. For level two monsters, the points will double. For level three monsters, the points will double. The points will be calculated based on the last attack. Therefore, when you are hunting monsters, you must pay attention to your surroundings to prevent others from taking advantage of you at the last moment."
"The other part is the battle between students. Every time you defeat a student, you will be awarded one point. At the same time, you will also inherit all the points of the defeated student."
"In the end, the more points you obtain, the more cultivation resources you can use these points to exchange for when you return to school. If someone can reach ten thousand points, they will have the opportunity to obtain a top-notch resource that the school has specially prepared for this trial, which is the so-called champion's reward."
"Note that points cannot be freely transferred privately. Only when one side loses or voluntarily gives up on the next trial will the artificial intelligence determine that the transfer conditions have been met. Only the winner will be able to obtain all of the opponent's points."
"Lastly," Huang Zhong glanced at Xia Zixuan and Yang Fan as he cautiously reminded them, "I need to remind you that there will be surveillance throughout this trial. In the competition between students, you can't fake giving in, and you can't have murderous intentions either. You can't intentionally kill people! Otherwise, once you are discovered, you will not be let off lightly! "
Yang Fan and Xia Zixuan were relieved at the same time. So, it was only not let off lightly and not killed on the spot. This was good news.
When he saw their expressions, Huang Zhong sighed helplessly. It was obvious that these two troublemakers did not take his words to heart. They were determined to cause trouble during the trial.
"Alright, the area map for this trial has been sent to you. You can discuss the rest among yourselves. I won't interfere."
Huang Zhong opened his portable artificial intelligence and casually tapped twice. He nodded at the few of them, then opened the cabin door and got up to leave.
The artificial intelligence vibrated, and Yang Fan casually opened it. Then, he saw a map that was similar to the shape of a bottle overlooking the ground. He casually opened it again, and the specific 3D map appeared. This was a huge canyon that was wide at the front and narrow at the back. It looked like a huge bottle with an open mouth.
The map zoomed in, and the dimensions of the canyon were fully displayed. The widest part was about five kilometers, and the depth was more than 20 kilometers.
The basic document that Huang Zhong gave showed that there were a total of 209 students participating in the resource competition trial this time.
Throwing these two hundred people into the canyon, which had a circumference of over a hundred square kilometers, was like throwing a pebble into a great river. It couldn't even cause a ripple.
Moreover, if they wanted to collect 10,000 points with 200 people, it would definitely not be enough to rely on the competition between the students.
It seemed that the main purpose of the school's arrangement of this trial was to let the students hunt as many Demonic Beasts as possible, training them to hunt alone or fight together.
Huang Zhong had just said that there were Level 3 Demonic Beasts in this canyon. In order to protect themselves or obtain more points, in the early stages of the competition, forming a team to hunt Demonic Beasts was undoubtedly the best choice.
After all, not every student had the ability to hunt Level 3 Demonic Beasts alone. For many students who were only Level 8 or Level 9 Martial Disciples, not to mention Level 3 Demonic Beasts, even Level 2 Demonic Beasts were not something they could face alone.
"No wonder Hua Yue and the other two took the initiative to invite me. It turns out that participating in the trial alone is really not an easy task."
Yang Fan understood in his heart, but he still did not have the slightest intention of forming a team with the four of them.
He was now a Level 9 Martial Disciple, and his mental strength had reached the level of a Level 3 Spirit Reader Master. Not to mention hunting Level 3 Demonic Beasts, even if he encountered a Level 4 Demonic Beast, he might not be unable to fight.
With this kind of strength, he did not need to rely on anyone.
"Hmm? Interesting! "
Yang Fan's gaze swept over and discovered that there was actually a participation award among the trial rewards. As long as one participated in the trial and obtained a score of 100 points or more, regardless of whether they won or lost in the end, the school would compensate the student according to the points they obtained before the failure of the trial.
Yang Fan grinned, "This should be the bait to attract the cannon fodder students to participate in this trial. If there were no benefits, only idiots would come and give away their points for free."
If this was the case, at the beginning of the trial, these cannon fodder students would definitely spare no effort to hunt Demonic Beasts to earn points. At the end, they would be harvested by the genius students who had the strength to compete for the champion's reward.
Ten thousand points, it did sound a little scary, but if so many people went to collect points together, there might be a chance to gather enough points!
Yang Fan had a plan in his mind. These students were all fat sheep, and he definitely could not easily chase them away until the last moment. Otherwise, even if he worked himself to death, he would not be able to gather ten thousand points in nine hours.
"Hmm, not only can I not kill them, but when I encounter students who are alone or in danger, I have to act when I need to. Otherwise, if too many people are eliminated at the beginning, ten thousand points will be in jeopardy!"
Yang Fan instantly had a plan in his mind. In the first eight hours of this trial, not only did he have to hunt Demonic Beasts to gain experience, he also had to play the role of a firefighter, helping these cute cannon fodder students to earn as many points as possible.
After all, these people were all working for him. As a boss, he had to treat his employees well, right? Otherwise, why would these cute employees work so hard to earn money for him, right?
Yang Fan's ego was extremely inflated. The trial had not yet begun, but he had already placed himself in the position of champion, treating all the participating students as his chickens.
Opposite him, Yan Han was resting with his eyes closed, looking like he did not want anyone to get close to him.
Zhao Zhu lowered his head and did not say anything. He was as obedient as a quail.
Only Hua Yue and Xia Zixuan were whispering to each other while holding hands. They even glanced coldly at Yang Fan from time to time, as if they were up to no good.
Yang Fan was too lazy to care about them. It was fine if they were obedient in the trial, but if they deliberately schemed against him like they did in the game, Yang Fan did not mind sending them to the afterlife in advance.
Yang Fan would never be courteous to anyone who wanted to take his life.
So what if they were women? Women with vicious hearts were more dangerous than Demonic Beasts. If he was merciful and forgiving, it would only lead to more unscrupulous revenge.
"Yan Han, Zhao Zhu!" Hua Yue ended her whispering with Xia Zixuan and suddenly asked Yan Han and Zhao Zhu, "Does the suggestion of teaming up from before still count?"
Yan Han opened his eyes and glanced at Xia Zixuan who was beside Hua Yue. He then closed his eyes again and said, "Yes."
Zhao Zhu nodded along as well. "I have no objections. My goal for this trial is very simple. As long as I can earn 200 points, that's enough!"
Two hundred points and you're satisfied? As expected of the good-for-nothing Zhao Zhu.
Hua Yue glanced at Zhao Zhu and nodded gently. "If that's the case, then let's set a meeting place first. When the trial starts, everyone will try to gather at the same place as much as possible."
"Don't be afraid of wasting time. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of cutting firewood. Only by concentrating our strength can we hunt more Demonic Beasts with the greatest efficiency."
The four of them quickly set a meeting place and officially formed a team, huddling together to keep each other warm.
From the beginning to the end, they did not ask Yang Fan anymore. They directly treated Yang Fan as a dispensable outsider.
