Chapter 47 Why Do We Have to Do Her?Li Qingxuan again pointed to another amiable-looking and slightly fat middle-aged man, saying, “This is sir Li Luoran from the city master"s mansion. He"ll be in charge of your food distribution, grade registration, and others…”
People from the master"s mansion also got involved in the qualifying match?
It was kind of strange.
Leading teacher Ding Sans.h.i.+ secretly considered in the heart.
Li Qingxuan continued, “My name is Li Qingxuan. On behalf of the Cloudy Dream City Education Department, I"ll be in full charge of the qualifying match for the entire city"s grade two students. I have a nickname, Mean Cold Face. And soon you"ll get to know me. Today, I"ll remind you once again. Out of the 100 people in the camp, only 20 people will be selected into the official match. So, I hope you"ll seize the chance and prove your abilities.”
20 people out of 100?
Lin Beichen got kind of surprised.
It was an elimination rate of 80%.
It was cruel.
“But I like it.”
Though he only took part in the qualifying match for the Talent Token, he was indeed moved by the compet.i.tive atmosphere.
At least, at that moment, Lin Beichen felt his body actually slightly excited.
“Next, I"ll announce the rules for the qualifying match.”
Li Qingxuan"s eyes swept. He looked more serious than ever.
“The qualifying match officially starts tomorrow. You"ll leave the camp into the green wilderness to explore when the first ray of suns.h.i.+ne rises up from the horizon. You have two goals, one is to hunt low grade beasts, and second is to look for Star Badges hidden in the wilderness…”
“To hunt low grade beasts is to make sure you survive because, from the next day, the camp will not provide you with water or food. You"ll have to gain everything in the wilderness with your own two hands.”
“And Star Badge is the only standard to decide the individual rankings. There are 100 badges hidden in different places in the wilderness in total. Every badge you take back to the camp and hand to sir Li Luoran will get you 10 points. When the 10-day trial is over, 20 students with points ranked in top 20 on the list will have opportunities to take part in the Talent Battle official match.”
“Before sunset, you have to report back in the camp.”
“No killing other students in the compet.i.tion.”
“No intentional severely injuring or crippling other students.”
“Except that, there are no other strict rules.”
“You, understand?”
Li Qingxuan said those in a row and shouted loudly.
“Yes, sir.”
The students answered excitedly.
Most of them were young geniuses who had taken part in the Talent Battle before. Therefore, they were quite familiar with this kind of rule.
However, hearing that, Lin Beichen tut-tutted, feeling amazed.
Wasn"t it a freaking wilderness survival training?
Moreover, the seemingly simple qualifying match rule contained a very big secret.
It was okay if they had to find food by themselves, but the idea of fighting for the Star Badge was very thought-provoking.
Li Qingxuan"s words contained another layer of meaning—
They couldn"t just find a Star Badge.
They needed to personally hand it to the hands of Li Luoran, the manager of the camp.
It meant that when you did not kill, injure, or cripple other students, you could totally s.n.a.t.c.h badges from other students as your booty.
Therefore, to get points, you"d not only have to find Star Badge but also protect your own Star Badge.
The second one was harder.
Lin Beichen stood in front of the line, pretending to be excited and shouting some random words with the crowd.
Li Qingxuan added, “One last thing. Tonight, after sunset, the camp will hold a bonfire party. You"ll have two interaction hours to get to know each other. During the process, you"ll have one chance to eat your fill. Remember, you can only eat, no storing… When tomorrow comes, your grades will decide what you can eat and if you"ll get full. Destiny is in your own hands.”
The crowd cheered again.
Then, they dismissed.
It was one hour later.
Bonfires on the square raged high.
On the stone tables around the bonfires, lay grills, fresh fruits, pancakes, wine, and various other cuisines. At night, aromas temptingly permeated.
All of a sudden, the entire camp livened up.
Lin Beichen"s eyes flashed.
Back on earth, he was a gaming shut-in and also a foodie.
He would not miss delicacies from another world.
Moreover, they were free. Why not?
Greeting Ding Sans.h.i.+, Lin Beichen didn"t stand on ceremony, sat at the stone table, and grabbed a beast thigh grill to enjoy himself.
“Wow, yummy.”
After one bite of the beast meat, Lin Beichen"s eyes flashed.
“Gee, the wine tastes good too. Sour and sweet, it"s like fruit wine on earth.”
“The pancake is delicious too.”
Like a man who died of hunger in his last life, Lin Beichen ate more and more.
It was already very noisy around. The students all got relaxed, preparing for tomorrow"s compet.i.tion.
In usually days, they would seize every minute to cultivate in school. Today, in the camp, without so many rules, some youths tried to express love to their G.o.ddesses. They gathered and tried to find all kinds of topics to get close to them.
Especially, there were always people surrounding those G.o.ddess-like girls.
Moreover, some boy genius students from the Royal National Junior College also somewhat became the center of the crowd.
Once in a while, some female students would felt shocked at Lin Beichen"s looks so they couldn"t help but say h.e.l.lo to him.
However, he ignored all of them.
“Isn"t he putting on airs too much?”
“Humph, he acts so arrogantly even before he can enter the top 10. What"s so good about him?”
The girl students who got the cold shoulder obviously felt resentful. They walked away, swearing.
Lin Beichen still went on his own way, immersed in the great cause to fight the delicious food.
He didn"t notice that, in a stone room in the camp, a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes were on him all the time. They were almost fixed on him all the time, seemingly appreciating or weighing something.
Suddenly, a familiar figure sat beside Lin Beichen.
“Did you die of hunger in your last life?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ felt very speechless and said in a helpless manner, “You little brat. This is such a good opportunity. Will you really only bury yourself in eating?”
Lin Beichen stuck a piece of fat and delicious grill into his mouth. He asked in reply while munching hard. “Or what else? Didn"t sir Li Qingxuan say it all? We should seize the opportunity to eat our fill tonight.”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ felt more speechless and said, “Are you dumb? That"s just the surface. Haven"t you realized the real purpose of the bonfire party for a split second?”
“What"s that?”
Lin Beichen said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Em… isn"t it eating?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ almost wanted to knock the black sheep"s head into his chest with a scabbard. He said, “You only care about eating. It"s for you to do some mingling.”
”Em, Mingling?” Lin Beichen said, “Who"s Mingling? Why do we have to do her?
“I…”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ couldn"t take it anymore. He hit Lin Beichen"s head hard.
“Can you be normal.” The old teacher growled helplessly and roared. “I"m talking about real business. No jokes.”
