Chapter 87: Heading into the Wilderness
The three examiners did not refuse. They greeted Xu Xinxin with a smile and drove away.
The results of these two tests were announced almost the next morning when Xu Xinxin had just finished breakfast and received a text message reminding her that she had passed the tests and could prepare to take the third test on April 18th.
The third assessment is different from the previous two. This one requires you to gather and report at the mall one day in advance.
Once those who are taking the test arrive, they will be divided into groups on the spot, with ten candidates in a group, along with three examiners in charge of the test, and they will go to the wilderness together.
Therefore, Xu Xinxin needs to report to the mall on April 17, and then go to the wilderness with the examiner. The assessment will officially begin on April 18.
This time, Xu Xinxin still brought the little orange cat with her.
In fact, if she could bring one more pet, she would like to bring the mushroom crab.
With cooked crabs in the wilderness, her assessment would probably be easier.
Just when Xu Xinxin was daydreaming, she had already been successfully grouped with nearby candidates at the gathering place in the shopping mall.
The examiner in charge of the third assessment was a middle-aged woman, who was accompanied by a more mature young man and another older sister who looked more stable.
After the examiner divided the students into groups, he began to call the roll and then took them to the wilderness.
With the experience of going into the wilderness before, Xu Xinxin followed the examiners and went through the "security check" again. When he saw them taking out the supply bags, he seemed much more mature and calm.
A young man nearby was probably entering the wilderness for the first time. He looked at the security check mode and exclaimed in surprise: "So this is how the security check for entering the wilderness works."
At this time, the elderly grandfather and grandmother next to them, who looked older, seemed to have been to the wilderness before, and kept explaining to the young man:
"The security check for entering the wilderness is like this. It mainly checks whether you have important things like a fire extinguisher and a safety rope."
"You youngsters, it's obvious you didn't learn anything in advance, let me explain it to you..."
The old man and old woman next to them just started to explain science. On the other side, a middle-aged man heard their conversation and said actively: "Yes, that's it. When you enter the wilderness, you must control your curiosity, follow the examiner honestly, and don't cause trouble."
Although they were going into the wilderness for an assessment, the places they were going to had all been inspected in advance. Even the places where they appeared and the creatures that appeared had been greeted in advance.
Even if they are unlucky and encounter suddenly mutated animals, the examiner can quickly take them to the safe house, and the defense forces patrolling nearby will rush over quickly.
In short, everyone's safety is relatively guaranteed.
Xu Xinxin, like other candidates nearby, did not know the inside story, so they felt nervous as soon as they stepped into the wilderness.
Especially Xu Xinxin, she had just entered the wilderness and had encountered the "Afro" and the triplets who were chased and stung by mutant bees, so she was still very awed by the wilderness.
However, her awe gradually faded when the examiner brought them to a forest.
"Meow?"
"Xinxin, isn't this the hometown of the mushroom crabs?"
The little orange cat that had been held in Xu Xinxin's arms looked at the familiar woods in front of him and couldn't help but call out to Xu Xinxin.
At this moment, Xu Xinxin heard the little orange cat's voice and reluctantly controlled her facial expression. She nodded at it and said, "Well, yes, but we still have to remain vigilant."
As she spoke, someone next to her shouted in surprise: "Look, there are mushrooms over there, could they be evolved mushrooms?!"
It’s not time for the assessment yet, and there are still a few hours until midnight, so everyone has not yet put too many restrictions on their words and actions.
The examiner next to him had already taken out the safe house and reminded everyone, "Let's take a break now and adapt to the wilderness environment. The examination will officially begin in the early morning."
Amid the examiner's voice, everyone couldn't help but look towards the white mushrooms in front of them.
Not to mention evolved mushrooms, even ordinary delicious mushrooms are difficult for ordinary people to eat.
If delicious dishes like this appeared in the vegetable market, they would either be expensive or very popular.
So when everyone saw the mushrooms in front of them, they were all eager to try it.
The examiners nearby looked at everyone eager to take the test and looked at them expressionlessly.
In fact, the third test did not start in the early morning, but from the moment they stepped into the wilderness.
The third assessment is to test everyone's acumen... If you are careless in the wilderness because the assessment has not started yet, your acumen will definitely not pass.
So the three examiners, watching everyone eager to try that mushroom, were quietly waiting to see who would run over first and then be poisoned by the mushroom crab and eliminated...
Just as the three examiners were thinking this, the mushroom crab, which had been quietly nestling in the woods, suddenly stood up and ran quickly towards Xu Xinxin.
Just when everyone was surprised that the mushroom was growing on the crab's back, everyone saw that the crab quickly "cut" off a piece of the mushroom on its back, threw it at Xu Xinxin's feet, and then ran away quickly.
The three examiners nearby: ...
Candidates nearby: ???
All the examiners and candidates present turned their heads to look at Xu Xinxin and the mushrooms in front of her.
Xu Xinxin: ......
"Meow......"
Just when Xu Xinxin was confused, the little orange cat in her arms cried out.
"Xinxin, the big crab just said that its big brother is leaving with you, and specifically told us that if you come again, everyone must actively entertain you."
Unexpectedly, this group of mushroom crabs are quite hospitable.
The mystery was solved. Xu Xinxin smiled at everyone and said, "Do you want to eat some mushrooms? It's just that there are not enough of them. Maybe everyone can't eat much."
Just as Xu Xinxin said this, the mushroom crabs hiding nearby all moved.
Then, an unexpected scene appeared.
In the previously ordinary woods, there was suddenly a rustling sound of crabs crawling everywhere.
Then, crabs with white mushrooms growing on their backs came to Xu Xinxin one by one, pinched off a piece of mushroom with their claws and piled it at her feet, then ran away.
The mushrooms in front of Xu Xinxin quickly grew from half a plant to a pile.
Examiners: ...
Candidates: ......
Xu Xinxin: "...Ha, now it seems that there are enough mushrooms to eat. Do you want to eat stir-fried, fried, or boiled?"
