Chapter 3732: Scheme

As soon as Ye Jian finished speaking, Zhang Minghong, who had a serious expression on his face, said, “That will definitely happen. However, the a.s.sessment team must’ve also considered that the powerful students will definitely be the first to find all the coordinates in the vicinity. Hence, there’s another rule here… Students from every country can only have five red and green coordinates…”
The red and green coordinates were the nearby coordinates. Every country could only have five. Once they exceeded that, they couldn’t win points even if they found the coordinates.
This rule was for the sake of fairness.
The stronger students would always be one step ahead of the weaker students. Without such rules, it was unfair to the weaker students because they really couldn’t win against the stronger students.
In order to be as fair as possible, the a.s.sessment team came up with such a rule.
Ye Jian smiled and said, “This is a good thing. There won’t be too many fights. However, we… have to be wary of the j.a.panese students. I have a feeling that the match today won’t go smoothly. Everyone, be careful. Try not to be alone.
“Everyone needs to arrive together. In that case, the 16 of us will act together. We won’t split into groups. This will be safer. What do you think?”
This was her personal opinion, but she had to listen to everyone’s opinion.
However, as long as Ye Jian raised her opinion, no one would object.
Ye Jian wasn’t the only one who thought so. Many partic.i.p.ants from many countries had made this arrangement. They had to reach the finish line together to complete the entire compet.i.tion. It wasn’t good to split into groups.
j.a.pan had been discussing it in low voices for a long time. They had also decided to take action together and not in groups.
Leader Maki Fujino said in a sinister voice, “We need to act before the Chinese find the five common coordinates. If they find them and move in other directions, we can only act if we beat them to it and find more coordinates than them.
“Therefore, we only have two chances to attack the Chinese. One is to find the five common coordinates, and the other is to overtake them and find more coordinates than they do.
“However, I personally think that they wouldn’t manage to find the five common coordinates.”
Michiko Matsuyama lowered her head and looked at the map of the primeval forest they were about to enter. She frowned slightly. Then, she nodded slightly to show that she approved of the leader’s arrangement.
“Maki’s arrangements are very good. Let me add that if we find the 40 coordinates first and the Chinese don’t have them, then…”
Looking at the map, she slowly raised her head. A cold glint flashed past her beautiful eyes. “Then, we still have enough time to ambush the Chinese students.
“We’re ranked seventh now. We’re 121 points behind China. Even if we get full marks this time, we won’t be able to surpa.s.s China. However, China is ranked fourth, and the fifth is only a few points behind them. Once China is held back by us, it’s very likely that the fifth place will overtake them.
“Since we don’t have a chance to surpa.s.s China, let’s give the fifth place a chance to surpa.s.s China. As long as we can pull China down, anyone can surpa.s.s China!”
After Michiko Matsuyama finished speaking, the j.a.panese students were silent for a moment before nodding.
They didn’t have a chance to surpa.s.s China, but they could drag the Chinese to death and give the country ranking fifth a chance to surpa.s.s them!
