Chapter 74 Survival Competition
"What? This useless piece of shit with no mental power counts?" Norway pointed at Anubis' nose, his expression full of contempt.
Jie Jin looked at Anubis and frowned.
Orcs without mental power are basically waiting to die in this world.
Qiao Sui Sui said firmly at this time: "Either you team up with the two of us, or you can find someone else."
Anubis looked sideways at her, thinking that she was only being strong in words, and that she might be worried in her heart that she would abandon them.
A hint of doubt appeared in the boy's eyes.
She'd clearly already agreed to team up with them, so why had they gone to such lengths to insist on bringing her along? It would be difficult for a C-rank player to find teammates, and if they did find any, they'd likely be of similar skill. Their fighting power was unpredictable; they'd probably be a disorganized bunch.
Jie Jin looked at Qiao Susu for a long time, then nodded in agreement.
Norway shouted angrily: "Jejin, why do you need these two rubbish!"
"Watch your words."
Jie Jin only gave Norway a warning look, which made the latter dare not say anything rude again. He said to Qiao Sui Sui, "Is there any water in your space?"
"A mobile water source, enough for several of us to drink."
She actually had some. She had originally planned to use the storage compartments given by the system to trick them into taking her along, but she hadn't expected her small fortune to actually come in handy, without even needing the space Zongfang had given her.
In fact, before she arrived, several men had given her a ton of stuff for free. Munakata, needless to say, and Ruka practically brought her the entire military arsenal. Later, after her persuasion, he brought her several compact yet powerful guns, perfect for her. Liberi had directly fabricated a royal identity for her, so now, all she had to do was say her full name, Joe Liberi, and even though she was a C-rank, there were bound to be plenty of people willing to team up with her. And if she actually got into school this time, this identity would be very useful in the future.
Before she left, Sang Yan taught her a simple fire control technique. Although it still needed more practice, it was always good to have more skills. The dragon race was naturally gifted in controlling fire, and no one could match Sang Yan in this regard.
A Yao, still in line with his pragmatic nature, gave her a huge amount of fresh food, including finished products, semi-finished products, fruits and vegetables. They could be kept fresh in the storage compartments and it was convenient to take them out and eat them at any time.
This time, Gai Meilun didn't give her a small island. Instead, he gave her a pendant made from his own tooth. He asked her to wear it around her neck. Whenever she was attacked, it automatically blocked the attack, creating a natural shield. Qiao Suisui felt a sense of pressure when she accepted it, and she kept glancing at Gai Meilun's tooth. Later, Sang Yan reassured her that it wasn't a burden, as shark teeth often shed.
So even though she is just an ordinary C-class, her bonuses and plug-ins can directly kill an S-class.
Qiao Suisui chose Jie Jin not because they were strong—of the five, only Jie Jin was an A; the others were Bs. Rather, she believed that in an unknown and extreme environment, a person's character would be tested. A calm mind would find its way back. That was the kind of teammate she needed. She had been observing, and the only people she could see within her field of vision were Jie Jin and Bi.
Therefore, to some extent, it was Qiao Suisui who actively chose a fellow traveler who matched her needs, rather than rushing to ask Jie Jin to take her in. Jie Jin also keenly grasped Qiao Suisui's mentality, so he agreed.
"Water is very important," said Jie Jin. "I think we will stay here for a few days."
Qiao Susu didn't tell them that besides water, she also had supplies. She had to be on guard against others and couldn't reveal all her cards at once, otherwise they would snatch them away.
Except for Norway, the other five members of the group had no objection to their joining, especially after learning that Qiao Suisui had a water source. Jie Jin gave her a whistle, discussed with her how to collect the survival kits depending on the situation, and then led the group away.
Anubis waited until they were far away and asked, "Why did you take me with you?"
Qiao Suisui looked up at him, as if it was a matter of course: "With you here, I can seem less weak."
“.”
Anubis's originally expressionless face was speechless for a moment.
Qiao Suisui patted his arm and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this issue."
He finally understood that she had said that to relieve him of any psychological burden. In her eyes, he was a powerless male, and the way she helped him was surprisingly appropriate. She didn't make him feel pitied, nor did she make him feel embarrassed by his own strength. Instead, she addressed the matter directly in a joking manner, which was very refreshing.
"Let's go find a place to get a survival kit."
"Um."
Anubis took a closer look at the young man. He looked even younger than him. Wolf bloodlines were few, but they loved living in groups. Growing up, he had felt quite lonely. Having a younger brother wouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, he immediately rejected the idea and his eyes dimmed.
He couldn't have anything to do with anyone, or he'd be implicated. Uncle Siobhan, the wandering orcs who died in the canyon, and his father, who had to constantly attract federal attention and hide from the authorities for so many years to ensure his safe growth.
At this time, most people in the auditorium had already formed teams, and there were still some people who were left alone and were running around anxiously, asking everyone if they could be taken with them.
Suddenly, the horn blew—
The blast of a loudspeaker pierced the tense atmosphere, and everyone's eyes turned in the direction of the sound. A cold voice, like a god looking down from above, announced, "You are now receiving your survival kits. But remember, there is only one, and you must prove your worth."
The two met up with Jie Jin and the others, and Jie Jin said to her, "Follow me closely, we have to hurry."
The survival kit collection point suddenly appeared on the east side of the auditorium. The seven-member team quickly moved through the crowd. Qiao Suisui, with her exceptionally sharp intuition, noticed another group quietly approaching them from an obscure corner, seemingly waiting to grab the survival kits before snatching them away. She tugged at Anubis's sleeve and gestured to Jie Jin.
The group followed closely, but stopped when they neared the collection point. Norway released his hook and snagged the survival pack, and at the same time, a large rock fell with a crash.
Anyone who went up to get the survival kit would have died under the boulder.
"Haha, what do you think? I told you it wouldn't be that simple."
Norway laughed triumphantly. As soon as he finished speaking, the group that had been following them surrounded them from all sides. Ten of them, each with extraordinary strength, now blocked Norway's path. Norway's face suddenly turned ugly, and he cursed under his breath. Jie Jin, however, remained calm. He said to Qiao Sui Sui, "Now, blow the whistle."
