Recap
Hundreds of students chose to avoid the sharp edge and go to the mountains to hide and survive. They made this decision based on the premise that the first exam was relatively simple and safe. What if this is no longer true?!
___
“It’s all fake, cold hearted Hunger Academy.”
Under the threat of the Hunger Academy’s trickery, governments around the world began to focus on their own students again. They cannot contact the students for the time being, but if they are willing to pay some price, they can strive for half an hour of communication time when the students finish the first exam and enter the “dormitory.”.
At this time, Ninth State’s headquarters were also carefully observing and studying their only student, Ji Xinghai.
Ji Xinghai was too mysterious, and Ninth State’s headquarters’ understanding of him was extremely superficial.
Since everyone in the country got the supplementary volume of the Food Sutra, Ji Xinghai was no longer just a random student in Ninth State. They had to understand him so that they could cooperate with him in the instance to enhance Ninth State’s influence in the instance and even the global arena.
Whether Ji Xinghai was willing or not, he had been tied to Ninth State’s big carriage and became a symbol that could not be ignored.
As a random student, his series of performances exceeded the scope of “ordinary people who have been in a coma for nine years.” The viewers could play dumb, but they wouldn’t. So they began to study Ji Xinghai.
This study, then, revealed a problem.
Although Ji Xinghai’s acting skills are top notch, he could not hide from the 360-degree observation and analysis of a group of world-class experts, frame by frame.
The fact that he was abnormal could no longer be concealed.
“Could he be born antisocial? This kid is more skilled than a forensic doctor in slashing people, and he seems to know a little about human anatomy and has strong detective ability.”
“I read Ji Xinghai’s information. He has both parents and a harmonious family. He has had no special experiences since he was a child, and he has not suffered from school violence. Because of his outstanding appearance and gentle temperament, he is quite popular among classmates and teachers at school. The only setback is that he was inexplicably in a coma for nine years, right?”
How could a good child mutate into this after entering an instance?
Is it true that he traveled through time, like in the novels? Was he possessed by another body?
“Is there a possibility? I mean, it’s possible,” a researcher carefully put forward his guess, “that is, his body may be in a coma, but his soul… may have other experiences that we don’t know about.”
“…” In the past, they would have said that this was nonsense, but now that the Hunger Academy has emerged and “superpowers” that have awakened, special talents have also appeared among humans, what’s wrong with Ji Xinghai’s soul traveling?
“Hehe, for such a talent, we should be tolerant. Everything should be viewed comprehensively. As long as he has not committed any crime in reality, we should judge by his deeds rather than his heart.” The general manager of the Black Tower, who had just rushed over from outside, said it with a smile.
This is also what the above means. Just because Ji Xinghai gave the people of H Province a sky without dark clouds on the first day and added food to the pot of the people of the whole country, as long as he does not betray the country, he is the country’s son, their real son.
Nine years of pollution, nine years of most of the country’s grain harvest. Even if the government tries its best, even if scientists study industrial food and new seeds day and night, it cannot change the problem that people can only fill their stomachs but do not have enough nutrition.
Now Ji Xinghai brings everyone a dry mushroom, but what about the future? Even if it is just a little more vegetables and a little more meat every day, it is a real benefit!
Yes, they sent the summoned dry mushroom to the research institute as soon as possible. It is exactly the same as the dry mushroom in reality. No, it is the original dry mushroom that they used to have.
Some people have made dry mushroom fried rice with their treasured rice overnight. After taking a bite, the whole person is excited—this is the joy of eating mushrooms!
Now the researchers are still thinking about this summoned food and have done several control group experiments.
A researcher proposed a possibility: this summoned food will also disappear after being eaten, which is equivalent to eating an illusion.
The reason for proposing this possibility is that, considering that there are so many people in Ninth State, even if only half of them summon once a day, the amount of food consumed is inestimable, and the Hunger Academy will not give Ninth State people so many benefits for no reason.
They don’t understand this special talent, but they understand the Hunger Academy. That is not a good thing. The sudden global land and water pollution may be caused by it.
“The weasel pretending to offer New Year’s greetings to the chicken*, but we are afraid that it is poisonous.”
*(like a weasel trying to get close to the chicken (to eat it) by pretending to be a good neighbor)
“What are you afraid of? We Ninth State people are not afraid of poisonous food. It dares to send it, so we dare to accept it!”
The abnormal natural disaster in Country N lasted for an hour and had ended, but the impact continued.
The abnormal creatures that were changed returned to normal, but it was basically impossible for the people who had been affected to recover, and the trauma ingrained in their souls was almost permanent.
They would continue to hear and see hallucinations, and then hurt others and themselves.
After tying up these crazy people and sending them away, the next step is to clean up the ruins and save people. At the same time, those unfortunate people who died tragically should be sent to the incinerator.
The spokesman for Country N burst into tears at the press conference. He wanted to apply for international assistance. But other countries said they could not help; they always had to ensure the needs of their own citizens first.
“I don’t know how many days the black smoke from the incinerators will last.” Countries that are also preparing for “abnormal natural disasters” are trembling with fear, and the appearance of rule-based anomalies makes every nerve restless.
The people of Ninth State who have not yet received the invitation of death are also restless. They even dream of rampant abnormalities and terrifying appearances. They got up in the middle of the night and left a speech in Ji Xinghai’s live broadcast room.
[Brother Hai, don’t waste time; being alive is the greatest victory!]
It is now time for Ninth State to fall asleep. The viewers has to get up early to go to work and school tomorrow. Most of them are offline. Only a few people who stay up late are still watching, and there are a few people who are jet-lagged.
Maybe there are fewer people, but the live broadcast room is still harmonious, and everyone also shared their experiences of eating dried mushrooms. People in the southwest said that it is best fried with bacon, and some said that only when fried alone with rice can you truly experience the deliciousness of dried mushrooms.
[I haven’t eaten mushrooms in years. Woohoo, it still tastes like what I remember. ]
[My daughter finally knows what dried mushrooms taste like. I don’t know how to say it. It’s so sad. This generation of children has suffered so much. They don’t get any good things. They have to suffer all the time. ]
The people of Ninth State, whose taste buds have been ruined for several years, couldn’t help crying while eating.
Because of national policies, the gap between the rich and the poor is not big these days in the Ninth State, but if you are really poor, even provincial-level cadres can’t eat a natural delicacy a day. People who like mushrooms have been thinking about this for many, many years.
The overseas Chinese cried the loudest. They missed the evacuation team sent by the motherland. They couldn’t afford the expensive air tickets and didn’t want to change their nationality. They could only survive as a third-class person abroad.
I didn’t expect that now, across thousands of mountains and rivers, I could still receive gifts from the motherland. The words are full of sobs.
What I eat is not dried mushrooms, but homesickness.
[I have submitted an immigration withdrawal application, which was rejected. I cried. I am from Ninth State. My ancestors have been from Ninth State for generations. Why can’t I withdraw? ]
The guy complained in the live broadcast room. No one pays attention to him. He is just a defected citizen. It is more difficult to apply for Ninth State citizenship now than in peacetime. It is easy to go out, but come back? Ha.
[Don’t pay attention to him.] What is our brother Hai doing? ]
It was still afternoon in the instance world on the screen. Ji Xinghai was doing something that was originally very normal, but it was a bit abnormal for him. He finally opened the mission watch to view the instance prompt.
[It’s not easy.] He finally looks like a normal student. ]
Can the upstairs speak? When was our brother Hai abnormal? Our brother Hai has always been normal. ]
[Upstairs, you scolded him the most fiercely before.]
[Me! I didn’t recognize the gold and jade, but now I have changed my ways. ]
Ji Xinghai, who was acknowledged by his country, sat on a stool and looked at the screen that popped up on the task watch. He finally found the password—his name, Ji Xinghai.
The two words “Xinghai”* carry his parents’ hope that he will see the sea of stars and the ties that connected several worlds.
*(Xing means star, hai means sea, it’s a beautiful name)
So, for some reason, he read out his name on the watch and never expected that the watch would be unlocked like this.
Student: Ji Xinghai
Credits: 0
The theme of this exam is: Where can the fish in the dried-up pond survive?
Content of this exam: The “Operation to Eliminate the Fish that Slipped Through the Net” from the enemy will start 24 hours after the start of the instance and will last for 72 hours. Please prepare actively.
The start time of the exam is 6:00 on January 1st.
Number of candidates: 268/291
Passing grade: Survive until the end of the instance; 60 points.
Excellent grade: Make an effective counterattack, and add 1 point for killing an enemy.
Additional points: Not triggered.
After the exam, the top ten students who get high-score rewards of different levels, and the scores of the students will be converted into points, which can be used to purchase materials in the “mall” after the exam.
I hope the students will be brave and strive for good results.
This world is quite fun.
Some great escape, some hunting game, some darkness is coming—all kinds of real-life escape game-themed film and television works jump out of the ocean of memory.
So now he is one of the unlucky ones who was chosen to play this, no, this “slippery fish want to escape” exam?
The fish in the dried up pond literally means the fish in the gradually withering small pond. If they don’t find a new environment as soon as possible, they will die of thirst.
He is now alone on the mountain with only an axe by his side, so it is preliminarily judged that he is the fish that is dying of thirst, and this mountain is the pond.
So why is the pond “gradually drying up”? Because of the “slippery fish elimination operation”?
Is it the enemy who caused all this at the foot of the mountain? How many people are there?
According to the reference number, there were originally 291 students who entered here, but now more than 20 have disappeared. It is not known whether they died or were eliminated, but it is certain that there are still many survivors.
As one of the students, he has only encountered two humans so far, so the exam area is relatively large, which shows that each student can do a large range of activities.
But assuming that each student has a small range of activities, the combined range of activities of so many students will at least extend to several hills.
If you want to surround several hills, in addition to having good equipment, the number of enemies is also… not easy to deal with.
Finding that this matter is difficult, Ji Xinghai is actually very interested. He has never been afraid of difficulties but is afraid that they are not interesting enough, but this “exam” is obviously very interesting.
Since you want to participate, you must get a high score; otherwise, what’s the point?
You only have 60 points to survive to the end. If you want a high score, you either kill the enemy or find the additional questions to get points.
In fact, Ji Xinghai has also considered the method of “burning the mountain” from the perspective of the enemy. However, it may have rained a few days ago; the land is moist, the mushrooms grow well, and the plants are full of rainwater. It is not suitable to burn the mountain at this time.
What about using poisonous gas?
If there is none of these, then there will only be a physical encirclement, which will test the degree of preparation on both sides, the quality of weapons, the amount of information, and personal combat power.
The key to all this is not on the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain.
We must go down this mountain.
