Xia Family of Canglong Star (1)

Not only did the reference team of Nanteng Military Academy approach Shi Jianxia to buy clues, but the reference team of Fengyan Military Academy also shamelessly came to buy information.

Shi Jianxia accepted everyone who came to her, and would accept any specific clues they wanted as long as the insect crystals were in place. However, she also knew her limits and did not directly tell these teams the final results of the investigation.

Given clues, when to find the memory chip, and what kind of exam grade they will get in the end all depend on the cadets' action and logical reasoning ability.

Regardless of whether the cadets will eat the food or not, the instructors will not allow her to disrupt the balance of the exam. After all, this is an exam, and the essence of an exam is an ability test.

Shi Wuyu and Jun Xiaoyi were still sitting on the tree trunk, swinging their legs.

The former watched as the test teams arrived one after another and sighed, "Not only did she hunt Zerg during her free time from the exam, she even dared to engage in 'illegal transactions' right under the instructors' noses. Have you, Nan Teng's freshmen, become so arrogant?"

There seemed to be no such person among the freshmen of Fengyan Military Academy. If there was, he would definitely be impressed.

Jun Xiaoyi glanced at him, "Illegal transaction? The exam rules don't say you can't trade mission clues."

To be precise, the exam rules do not say that you cannot make trades - any trades.

Shi Wu Yu thought: This is clearly a loophole in the rules. Who in their right mind would sell clues about the exam task to others?

When Shi Jianxia suggested putting the recording chip back into the cold chamber, he was a little surprised. After all, most people wanted to widen the gap between their test scores and those of others. If they took the recording chip away, only their team would be able to obtain a higher performance rating, and the value would also be different.

She is open-minded.

I guess he never thought of exchanging the clues from the recording chip for insect crystals before.

-

There were quite a few freshmen from Nan Teng Military Academy and Feng Yan Military Academy who came to take the midterm exams. At this time, Renxin Hospital was packed with people from the top floor to the fourth floor underground.

The military academy students could see acquaintances as soon as they looked up and chatted with them casually. They all bought clues from Shi Jianxia.

There were also many people who came here out of curiosity to see what was going on because they saw a large number of military academy students gathered here.

From the instructors' perspective, more than three-quarters of the military academy students taking the exam gathered at Renxin Hospital, which had never happened in previous exams.

After several months of training, the military academy students are no longer the ignorant people they used to be. Knowing the specific location of Renxin Hospital and with so many people searching together, they easily found the recording chip in the card slot of the cold compartment on the fourth floor underground.

Because the search process went so smoothly, many cadets began to doubt whether this was the investigation result required for Task Three.

But soon, some military cadets who were good at reconnaissance discovered the latest traces of battle in the passage and ashes scattered on the ground. They guessed that Shi Jianxia and others must have experienced a great battle during their exploration. They were now able to easily find the chip because they enjoyed the convenience after Shi Jianxia and others completed the mission.

After the exam, Shi Jianxia roughly calculated the insect crystal income from this exam and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Xia Shuxing didn't know whether he felt guilty or ashamed, but he gave all the share allocated to him to Shi Jianxia.

This young master was not short of money, so Shi Jianxia naturally accepted it without hesitation.

Wen Qiuqiu and Jun Xiaoyi, one holding Xixi and the other holding the nine-tailed fox, enthusiastically fed them with insect crystals and rubbed their soft fur. They seemed to want to steal them and take them home to raise.

Xia Shuxing was quite jealous and secretly glanced at Shi Jianxia. Seeing that she was not paying attention to him, he quietly picked up a yellow cricket and watched it eating the insect crystals with small mouthfuls. He couldn't help but slowly stroke the soft hairs on its body.

Cheng Huang obviously liked this kind of touch and took the initiative to rub his palm with his little head.

Xia Shuxing was flattered and took out a higher-level insect crystal and handed it to Cheng Huang. The little guy was already used to this kind of feeding, so he hugged the insect crystal and continued to eat it with a crunch.

Who can resist having a cute and adorable furry mimic!

When the chief instructor came over, he saw that the cadets in the combat class one each had a furry toy in their hands, while the cadets in other classes looked at them eagerly, with obvious desire on their faces and their eyelids twitching violently.

When I looked at Shi Jianxia again, she was biting a piece of fruit and talking to Wen Qiuqiu. She looked very comfortable and anyone could see that she was in a good mood.

The chief instructor's mouth twitched at this moment, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the snow-white fox wagging its nine fluffy tails.

To be honest, although many of Shi Jianxia's mimicry look weird, the cute ones are really cute.

Thinking of this, the chief instructor cleared his cough. When the cadets who were still chatting and slacking off heard his voice, they quickly shut their mouths, returned the kids to Shi Jianxia, ​​and stood in line obediently.

Shi Jianxia finished the remaining half of the fruit in his hand in two or three bites, and stood up straight with his head held high and chest puffed out.

The chief instructor swept his majestic gaze over all the cadets present. Some of them were afraid of him and their scalps tightened.

Not everyone is as bold as Shi Jianxiadaner, who can mess around in exams without feeling guilty.

The chief instructor praised the teams that performed well in the exam and criticized the teams that performed poorly. He did not mention a word about Shi Jianxia selling the three clues of the mission, as if he didn't know about it at all.

The culprit Shi Jianxia was also grumbling. She was mentally prepared to be criticized, but nothing happened. It felt like a false calm before the storm.

However, when the lecture was over, the chief instructor did not mention this matter. The cadets boarded the hovercraft one after another and went to the proposed base not far from here to rest. Those who were injured in this exam needed to receive timely treatment.

Shi Jianxia leaned back in her seat, and the nine-tailed fox curled up in her arms into a furry little ball, occasionally wagging its little tail, looking comfortable and contented.

Feeling the hovercraft flying steadily, Shi Jianxia glanced at the chief instructor's location, picked up the nine-tailed fox and walked over.

The chief instructor sensed someone approaching, turned around, and seeing it was Shi Jianxia, ​​raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Jianxia pointed to the seat next to him.

The chief instructor nodded, indicating that she could sit down.

Shi Jianxia sat down holding the nine-tailed fox. The little guy used his front paws to pull at her school uniform, and nodded his little head towards her arms like a spoiled child. He was very cute and adorable.

She got straight to the point: "Instructor, I want to know the final results of the investigation into Task Three."

As Jun Xiaoyi and Shi Wuyu discussed, the clues they finally found could not be self-consistent, and the inferences they made were full of doubts.

The chief instructor hadn't expected her to ask this. He raised an eyebrow in surprise and replied simply, "The Zerg Investigation Department hasn't given me any definitive results either."

"The insect infestation did indeed occur at Renxin Hospital, in the underground morgue, at night. But by the time the rescuers arrived, it was too late. All the doctors, nurses, and patients on duty had perished."

"A parasite escaped the hospital and went on a rampage in the nearby residential area. One resident accidentally killed the queen, causing a vortex to appear and the plague to fully erupt."

"By the time the situation was under control, Renxin Hospital had been completely destroyed, making the investigation extremely difficult."

"The Zerg Investigations Department interrogated the hospital staff and they said the semi-parasites were moved to the underground morgue because they died during treatment. Since they were victims of the Zerg plague sent from Purple Mist Planet, they either had no family or their families were unable to spare the time, so their bodies were temporarily stored in the hospital."

"But this group of semi-parasites is different from ordinary semi-parasites. The purple star beetle larvae died midway while parasitizing them for unknown reasons, and the larvae merged with their blood. Cell tests conducted by the Zerg Investigation Department showed no problems. No one expected that the semi-parasites would transform into parasites after death."

At this point, the chief instructor spread his hands and said, "Task three of this exam isn't about deducing the final investigation results, but about your performance in finding the chip."

After listening to this, Shi Jianxia uttered a thoughtful "oh". After a few seconds, he continued, "Could it be that this is the only batch of these special purple star beetle semi-parasites? I just checked and found several large-scale areas of purple star beetle colonies on Ziwu Star. Based on this, whether it is a parasite or a semi-parasite, there should be a large number of them."

Purple Mist is a fairly developed large tourist planet, and its permanent population ranks among the top in the Federation planet population rankings.

She said this abruptly, and the chief instructor didn't immediately understand what she meant, so he couldn't help but give her a questioning look.

Shi Jianxia continued, "If this particular species of purple star blister beetle semi-parasite completely transforms into a parasite upon death, didn't anyone notice it before the insect plague broke out at Renxin Hospital?"

"Or, after this, has anyone observed whether the same results would occur after the death of this type of hemiparasite?"

The chief instructor narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean..."

Shi Jianxia said bluntly, "I suspect that before the insect plague broke out at Renxin Hospital, there hadn't been any such incidents. Otherwise, the purple star blister hemiparasites would have received significant attention and wouldn't have been easily sent here to participate in the awakening research."

"Then only the latter possibility exists..."

At this point, she smiled brightly. "Instructor, could you ask the Zerg Investigation Department about their subsequent research and handling of the purple star beetle hemiparasites? I'm truly curious about the final results."

There is no such coincidence in the world. All the problematic purple star blister beetle semi-parasites were sent to Renxin Hospital, which caused a secondary insect plague.

If the same type of semi-parasites that were not in Renxin Hospital had not transformed into parasites after death, the insect plague incident in Renxin Hospital would not be as simple as the current investigation results show.

The underground research institute of the Shuiyuan Star Chamber of Commerce Building, the secret flower garden where purple lanterns were cultivated in the underground black market of Nanteng Star, and this time, the underground morgue...

The headquarters of Higanbana is also built underground.

Unfortunately, she was unconscious when she went there last time, and when she came out, she took an interstellar spaceship directly. She had no idea where the place was exactly, otherwise the Zerg Investigation Department would have caused trouble.

Now, Shi Jianxia has a strong intuition that the insect plague that broke out in Renxin Hospital is likely related to the red spider lily, but there is no conclusive evidence, and the information currently known is limited, so he cannot make an accurate judgment.

Good students are always favored. Even though Shi Jianxia is very troublesome, the chief instructor loves and hates her. But seeing her eyes sparkling, and holding the nine-tailed fox's front legs as a cushion and making a bowing gesture, he suddenly found it a little funny: "Okay, I'll go ask her later."

The focus of this exam is not on the final investigation results, and the chief instructor has not read the complete files of the insect plague incident in Renxin Hospital in detail, but with his authority, he can still borrow them.

The hovercraft stopped and the cadets got off one after another. Shi Jianxia was walking at the end. Xia Shuxing suddenly walked quickly to her side and gently pulled her elbow.

Shi Jianxia cast a doubtful look at him, and he avoided her gaze and said, "Well, well...someone is coming to our house."

Shi Jianxia: “?”

She said with a half-smile: "What does it have to do with me if someone comes to your house?"

Before Xia Shuxing could explain, a hovercraft descended from a low-altitude route and stopped in front of the two of them.

The young man in a suit opened the car door and looked straight at Shi Jianxia and Xia Shuxing who were not far away.

He has neat short hair and a handsome appearance, somewhat similar to Xia Shuxing. There is obvious arrogance in his expression, and it can be seen that he usually holds a high position and is sought after by others.

Shi Jianxia met his gaze without dodging or avoiding.

The young man was slightly surprised, but he didn't take his attitude to heart. He casually looked her over a few times, and taking advantage of being half a head taller than her, he put on a condescending attitude and said, "Shi Jianxia?"

Shi Jianxia didn't answer. She vaguely guessed the other party's intention and felt speechless and ridiculous.

The young man didn't know whether he didn't care about her attitude or simply didn't take her seriously. He raised his chin slightly and said, "The head of the family wants to see you."

Seeing his condescending attitude, Xia Shuxing moved his mouth to speak, but Shi Jianxia glanced at him nonchalantly, making him hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Before he could figure out how to react, Shi Jianxia turned around and followed the main group with an attitude of contempt, as if he had just seen a disturbing fly.
