For the next while, the people in the team chatted idly.

After chatting for a while, on the advice of team leader Liu Yichao, they set off to find a water source.

After all, the most basic requirement for a real-world assessment is to successfully survive in the wilderness for seven days.

Therefore, ensuring the reserves of food and water is absolutely the first thing that must be guaranteed.

As for everything else, that can wait.

On the way, everyone continued to chat idly, making small talk.

But hardly anyone spoke to He Xie.

Because they thought He Xie was too boastful.

Moreover, he often speaks with a distorted thought process, making it tiring to talk to him.

However, the two girls in the team didn't mind at all.

She was still trying every means to get close to He Xie, eagerly trying to get herself into his mouth.

There is no other reason.

It's simply because He Xie is so incredibly handsome that he perfectly hits their sweet spot.

In particular, there was an unknown aura emanating from He Xie's body.

He made them so intoxicated by his scent that they wanted to be near him no matter what.

He Xie felt both happy and troubled about this.

He was pondering whether he should try to acquire such a rare and wonderful person as the "school heartthrob" if he had the chance to do so again.

After all, her charm level is already quite high.

If it continues to improve...

Wow, the scene is too beautiful to imagine.

By then, I'm afraid girls will instantly lose their minds the moment they see me.

All I can think about is giving away freebies and money.

He Xie was thinking about all sorts of random things.

Suddenly, a couple appeared in his field of vision not far ahead.

The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was petite and cute.

The woman, whether injured or tired, was currently being carried on the man's back.

However, the man did not complain and had a smile on his face.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two should be a couple... He Xie thought to himself.

At this moment, Zheng Yiyun, who was standing next to him, suddenly shouted excitedly, "Zhang Shukang, who is that woman!"

After saying that, she immediately rushed towards the couple in front of her, which startled the man so much that he quickly put the girl behind him down.

Soon, a quarrel broke out ahead.

It was mainly Zheng Yiyun who was making noise.

The man, on the other hand, was scolded the whole time and kept explaining himself in a humble voice.

After listening for a while, He Xie realized that the man was actually Zheng Yiyun's boyfriend, and his lips twitched.

Good heavens!

You already have a boyfriend, but you were still flirting with me just now, acting all lovey-dovey and throwing yourself at me.

Is that really so dog-like?

Thinking it over, He Xie quickly followed the crowd forward to watch the excitement.

Meanwhile, the man was trying his best to explain what had just happened to Zheng Yiyun.

Zhang Shukang: "Yunyun, let me explain. I don't know her at all. I just saw her injured on the road and carried her out of kindness."

Zheng Yiyun: "Hmph, I'm jealous. This isn't over until you find a grove of trees to comfort me!"

He Xie: "Is it really that big of a deal? It's just that you carried a girl you didn't know for a while. You're always being all lovey-dovey with your boyfriend, and I've never said anything to you about it."

Zheng Yiyun: "???"

Zhang Shukang: "???"

Others: "???"

He Xie's sudden interruption completely baffled everyone.

Zhang Shukang, in particular, who is Zheng Yiyun's boyfriend, was completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens!

So you cheated on me before I even did?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shukang got angry and glared at Zheng Yiyun with his green hair, questioning her relentlessly.

Zheng Yiyun didn't back down and directly confronted them head-on.

They kept arguing like this, and soon they broke up.

They broke up on the spot.

He Xie smiled with relief upon seeing this.

That's right.

High school students shouldn't be in relationships.

The right choice is to separate quickly and focus on the exam.

Let's try to get into university so we can spend the summer together.

Then they break up after summer vacation, or they suffer together in a long-distance relationship while in college.

The melodramatic romance ends here.

Liu Yichao added the man and woman to the team, and then they went together to find a water source.

When enemies get together, trouble is bound to ensue.

All the way, the boy named Zhang Shukang carried the petite and cute girl on his back.

He was reciting it while chatting and laughing with the girl.

This was clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke Zheng Yiyun.

Zheng Yiyun was not to be outdone, and she gave He Xie all sorts of things, even offering herself to him for free.

It's all about stimulating and tormenting each other.

Zhang Shukang looked at He Xie with a grimace, frequently trying to strike up a conversation with him.

Zhang Shukang: "Hey classmate, what's your family's financial situation like?"

He Xie: "It's terrible. My family is destitute, but at least I can make ends meet by living off my wife."

Zhang Shukang: "......"

[Character design completion rate: 30%]

Zhang Shukang: "Hey classmate, what's your biology level?"

He Xie: "Very low, ordinary third rank, but fortunately I can live off a woman and seek protection."

Zhang Shukang: "......"

[Character design completion rate: 40%]

After hearing He Xie's answer, Zhang Shukang felt a surge of disapproval in his heart.

Holy crap! Who are these people?!

You keep saying that I can live off a woman, and that makes you seem very capable, right?

Aren't you ashamed?

However, he soon breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that someone like He Xie, who had neither money nor ability and only good looks, posed no threat to him whatsoever.

Once Zheng Yiyun stops being stubborn after the party, I can coax her back and we can be loving and affectionate again anytime.

......

Half an hour later.

The group finally crossed the grassland and entered a forest filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

As soon as you enter, you can clearly hear the sound of flowing water.

Everyone was excited; the water problem was solved.

Perhaps even food can be taken care of at the same time.

After all, where there are rivers and streams, you can usually find fish in them.

Shh, there's a demonic plant ahead.

As the group walked, Liu Yichao, who was leading the way, suddenly gave a solemn "shush."

Following his gaze, the people behind him quickly spotted the strange plant not far ahead.

It's a huge patch of eerie plants!

The branches and leaves look no different from ordinary plants, except that there is a gaping maw on the branch, filled with sharp fangs stained with blood.

He Xie recognized this kind of demonic plant; he had come into contact with it quite a bit when he was cramming on evolutionary theory.

This thing is called Giant Mouth Flower, and it's a fairly common type of monstrous plant.

It belongs to the category of carnivorous plants.

The upper limit of the creature's level is relatively low, mostly around the third or fourth tier.

A few exceptional individuals might reach around the seventh or eighth rank.

As for those that reach the advanced level, they are the top-tier, the kind that are one in a million.

Liu Changle: "Captain, let's quickly go around and leave. It's too dangerous to observe here."

Liu Yichao: "Don't panic. This carnivorous plant is also known as bean sprout. Its branches are extremely fragile and can be broken with just a little force."

"Moreover, their biological level is not high and their intelligence is also low, making them very suitable for scoring points."

"Everyone step back a bit, let's sit down over there and discuss how to divide the work and hunt these carnivorous plants."

Ignoring the opinions of the other team members, Liu Yichao made the decision to hunt these man-eating flowers on his own.

Although the others were somewhat worried, they didn't say much.

Even if they had objections, they thought they should first see how Liu Yichao would divide the work and cooperate later.

On the other hand, upon discovering the man-eating flower, He Xie originally intended to rush over and ruthlessly destroy it, wielding his Soul-Slaying Blade to reap souls.

But then he thought that it would be better to first figure out how to establish a low-key persona.

I want both the character design and the carnivorous plant!

soon.

So everyone gathered together to discuss it.

Although it was called a discussion, it was actually mostly Liu Yichao unilaterally assigning tasks.

"Since I'm the squad leader, I'll be in charge of facing the enemy head-on."

"Huang Xin, Xiao Dong, Zhi Chao, after I start fighting with Yao Zhi, you guys are responsible for flanking me."

"Chang Le, Shu Kang, Hai Bo, I will select some weaker-looking demonic plants for you to lure to my pre-arranged ambush location, where I will launch the attack."

"Yiyun, Xueping, Keran, you girls are in charge of observing the surrounding environment. If anything happens, be sure to alert us immediately."

As they were talking, Liu Yichao looked at He Xie beside him and asked, "He Xie, would you be interested in joining our hunting operation?"

He Xie nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Yichao: "Then you'll be in charge of seducing the demonic plants with Chang Le and the others later."

He Xie: "No way, Captain Liu, my legs aren't very agile. If I dare to go up and cause trouble, won't those man-eating flowers catch up with me and swallow me whole?"

[Character design completion rate: 50%]

Liu Yichao: "In that case, you'll stay with Huang Xin and the others and be responsible for covering me on the flanks."

He Xie: "No way, Captain Liu, I'm so weak. If I accidentally attract the carnivorous plant's aggro while providing cover, I'll die on the spot!"

[Character design completion rate: 60%]

Liu Yichao: "......"

This won't work, that won't work, what the hell do you want?!

Liu Yichao was furious and wanted to curse loudly.

But after glancing at the camera on a tree out of the corner of his eye, he ultimately chose to hold back.

However, while he tolerated it, the other boys in the group wouldn't.

Soon, some people became dissatisfied.

Liu Changle: "Why are you having so many opinions? If you don't want to accept the arrangements, then don't come with us. Our team doesn't need any burdens."

Peng Haibo: "What a coward, he's not even as good as those girls."

Lin Xiaodong: "Heh, he's always bragging, but when it comes to actually doing something, he's a total coward."

"Alright, everyone, stop talking."

"It's normal for a team to have both strong and weak members; this is what truly tests our team's capabilities."

"Everyone should learn to be tolerant."

After everyone had finished expressing their dissatisfaction, Liu Yichao came out and said this to the camera as a formality.

Then, he looked at He Xie and smiled, saying, "How about this, you can follow a few girls and be responsible for observing the surrounding situation."

He Xie: "No, Captain Liu, my senses are very dull. Could you change the task, like handling the carnivorous plant's corpse afterward?"

[Character design completion rate: 70%]

Liu Yichao: "......"

Liu Yichao: "Never mind, whatever you like."

Liu Yichao: "It was agreed beforehand that the spoils would be distributed strictly according to the amount of effort put in, and you would get very little."

He Xie: "I have no objection. Someone like me, who is so weak that I can't even kill a chicken, doesn't need to be divided at all."

[Character design completion rate: 80%]

[Contrast value from Zheng Yiyun: +9473.]

Um?

The sudden contrast in the values ​​left He Xie stunned for a moment.

Soon, Zheng Yiyun, who was standing next to him, asked with a puzzled look, "He Xie, you were so reckless when you were cutting down rabbits before, why are you suddenly so cautious now?"

He Xie: "You're such a chatterbox!"

Zheng Yiyun: "???"

[Contrast value from Zheng Yiyun: +9488.]
