"Waaaaah, I can't believe my idol is gone just like that! He's even more amazing than Sen Qi'an! In my heart, only the Federation Commander can compare to him. What kind of situation is this? It's only the third day of the competition, and the Commander-in-Chief is already out! If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off!"

"Waaaaah, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!!! Give my idol justice! Waaaaah, all my money went to the Second Military Academy!"

The people in the live stream were going crazy. They had always thought Xie Qian was the best candidate, and only Xie Qian could stand up to Sen Qi'an. Moreover, Xie Qian's performance last year when he took down dozens of soldiers was truly outstanding. He was like a born king who commanded respect.

Unexpectedly, this champion was at a disadvantage as soon as he appeared.

Their idol image has completely collapsed.

When Xie Qian was lying at the bottom of the pit unable to move, he glared at Lin Yiran with a fierce look. When he finally heard that he had been eliminated, he couldn't help but raise his hand and give Lin Yiran the middle finger!

"You're amazing!"

That's all I can say.

Lin Yiran squatted down, took the knife, and patted his face. She laughed and said, "I really didn't expect you to grab that vine with your bare hands. Although the thorns on it aren't very dangerous, the vine contains anesthetic. A single vine can kill an adult wolf. With your small frame, you'd be knocked out in a minute!"

Damn! He's really fierce!

Xie Qian couldn't even manage a laugh this time. He felt incredibly frustrated. Who the hell knew that thing was a mutated vine? Besides, they didn't even know that the mutated vine could produce anesthetics!

In interstellar space, a common source of anesthetics is a type of herb called Mafeicao (麻沸草).

Ulmus is a rare plant, and its medicinal properties have not yet been developed. I never expected that he would lose because of this.

It was worth it! Xie Qian swallowed his pride and was completely convinced. He lay straight in the pit, waiting for the teacher to come and take him out.

Lin Yiran did not leave. The anesthetic effect of the vine was very strong, and she had to detoxify him before leaving, lest something happen to him while he was alone here.

Lin Yiran didn't even take Xie Qian's watch, heading straight for the black vines in the distance. This made Xie Qian frown. Was this girl crazy? He had a lot of good things in his spatial storage!

Including the twenty-nine remaining doses of mental energy recovery potion that I just acquired.

This is a limited edition item; it's not always included in supply packs, and it's extremely rare.

She just left so innocently? That's amazing!

However, Lin Yiran returned quickly, holding a handful of leaves from the black vine. She leaped to the bottom of the pit and, in front of Xie Qian, stuffed all the leaves into his mouth.

Xie Qian:? ? ? ?

Viewers in the live stream: ? ? ? ? How is this considered abuse?

However, Lin Yiran then offered an explanation: "The thorns on the vines of the black vine contain a toxin that paralyzes nerves, but its leaves contain detoxifying components. Next time you encounter it, you can eat the leaves directly, and that will neutralize the toxin."

Then Xie Qian really felt that his arm wasn't so numb anymore, and the anesthetic on his tongue was the first to wear off. He could see his arm lift up and move slightly.

The audience in the live stream: an eerie silence.

Senran, who was watching the live stream, fell silent for a moment, then immediately instructed his adjutant: "Write it down quickly!"

The exploration of the Interstellar Hope Forest is less than 20% complete, and Lin Yiran has really helped them a lot this time!

Live stream chat: "So our Commander Xie was ambushed by the mutated vine?"

"No, that's called being ambushed by Lin Yiran!"

"My goodness! This girl is incredibly knowledgeable! Who exactly is she? She cooks so well, has outstanding abilities, and possesses such extensive knowledge. I don't remember this 'black vine grass' being mentioned on the official website, right?"

"It seems so? But I saw a post below saying that this black vine grass does have a nerve-paralyzing effect, but it's not listed in the interstellar encyclopedia of plants. It's just a post. Could it be that she posted this post? It's possible that it was a mistake."

Senran was well aware of the possibility. He knew Lin Yiran's special qualities, and now there was another mystery surrounding her. Senran covered his eyes and sighed on the command screen. He felt that perhaps it was time for him to be honest with Lin Yiran.

If the investigation continues like this, he's afraid Lin Yiran will reveal some huge bombshell.

He was afraid his fragile heart couldn't handle it!

Forget it, forget it. I'll have an honest talk with her when she gets back from this competition and see if she's willing to join the Federation Army and do missions with me from now on.

Of course, she'll receive the highest level of benefits; she's worth the price!

As for why she insisted on following him, Senran didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea. It wasn't about controlling her; he just felt that others might not prioritize her when they were with Lin Yiran. After all, she was a girl, and it wouldn't be convenient for her to be with that group of roughnecks.

…………

Lin Yiran idly twirled the dagger in her hand, then took off Xie Qian's wristwatch and kept it for herself. She even took a closer look at what was inside the wristwatch. When she saw the piles of weapons, bombs, and mecha cores inside, Lin Yiran couldn't stop smiling, as well as the remaining 29 bottles of mental energy recovery potions.

Lin Yiran was overjoyed. Now, no one could stop their No. 1 Military Academy from winning the championship!

Now that things have come to this, she should go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she encounters Xie Qian's troops again and gets wiped out, the supplies will return to the Second Army.

You know, the news has spread throughout their Second Army that Lin Yiran got their commander removed from office. Now everyone is probably thinking about getting Lin Yiran removed to avenge their commander, right?

Lin Yiran had to run!

Otherwise, when the team that set off earlier returns, Lin Yiran will definitely not have a good time!

She chose another direction and headed in that direction, trying to avoid Xie Qian's main force.

Fortunately, Lin Yiran only encountered a few stragglers on the way, which she dealt with quickly. When she arrived at the camp and handed the items to Sen Qi'an, a visibly wide smile appeared on Sen Qi'an's face.

"You've worked hard!" His eyes sparkled, filled with uncontainable joy.

"I didn't expect that guy to appear so soon. This time, the championship is definitely ours!"

"All troops, assemble all forces, let's take down the Second Military Academy's stronghold!"

The Second Military Academy has just lost its commander-in-chief. The role of the commander-in-chief is irreplaceable. Although there are other commanders who can take his place, without the commander-in-chief, they are just a mess.

It would be a waste not to press our advantage and seize this opportunity!
