Chapter 99 Aboriginal
Boom.
With a shock at the back of her head, Chen Xiao'er opened her eyes dazedly.
"Where's my phone... huh." She rubbed her head and touched her phone, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found it was still there.
"Xiao'er, are you okay?" A slightly cool hand reached out and covered her forehead with the palm.
Chen Xiao'er raised her face: Senior Sister Ling is still as calm as ever, but her tone is so gentle.
As she watched, her cheeks flushed. She rubbed her senior's hand like a cat and pursed her lips coquettishly: "It's okay~"
"I'm glad you're okay." Ling nodded, supported her shoulders and wrists, and helped her stand up steadily.
Chen Xiao'er looked around, a bewildered look on her face. "This... is a classroom? How is that even possible?"
There are no walls or floors around, only vast grasslands and open yellow sand. When the wind blows, grass flies everywhere.
"The school's AR technology is amazing!" The quality is at least 100 years ahead of the market. Remember, her mobile phone games are still stuck in the Snake era.
Hmm~ Chen Xiao'er grabbed the AR glasses and squinted her eyes to observe carefully. The scene in her eyes had not changed at all. It still looked like a loess plateau spliced together with the East China Plain.
"This isn't an AR, it's a special training ground. Come on, be careful not to trip over the equipment."
"AR technology? No, we're currently in the gap between the first and second layers of the Abyss. Be careful, I'll be keeping an eye out for any unusual activity."
Ling held Chen Xiao'er's waist and gently carried her out of the cabin.
Princess carry...it's so easy for senior.
Chen Xiao'er looked away embarrassedly and found that her classmates were much faster.
They jumped out of the car wearing plastic-like protective suits and lined up in groups of three, three, and four. The captain of each team stood in the middle, surrounded by his teammates.
"Student Chen, put your glasses on!"
Liu Pingan turned around and shouted at her: "If you don't wear that, you might miss the monster~"
Missing monsters?
Oh, no wonder they have to wear AR glasses. It seems the mining site is real, but during the mining process, they have to use the glasses to play an interactive game.
Chen Xiao'er quickly put on her glasses and asked excitedly, "Thank you. By the way, will I lose points if I miss a monster or get killed by a monster?"
Liu Pingan choked up, scratching his head for a moment before saying, "Of course. Please don't miss any monsters. If you get killed by them, you'll have to drop out of school."
"Oh, no matter how you interpret it—don't leak it, or you'll die!"
Dropping out of school just because you got killed by a monster?! You're kidding me again.
Chen Xiao'er's expression fell. Classmate Liu was just like that last time. He was obviously the top student in the class, but he still pretended to cheat during the exam to tease you.
But when she looked at the other classmates, she found that no one reacted after hearing it, and no one refuted Liu Ping'an.
Could it be true?
She leaned her head towards the senior student and asked cautiously, "Is what Liu said true? Will you have to drop out if you're killed by a monster?"
"Really? If you're killed, you'll have to drop out." ["Yes, if you're killed, you'll die."*]
Zero listened to the whole thing and nodded seriously.
[Drop out of school.] The two words hit Chen Xiao'er hard on the head, frightening her so much that she shuddered and looked around, holding her glasses.
Left? Safe, right? Safe, teacher, there are no monsters around!
There are vast plains in front, behind, and on both sides, with not much bushes.
Chen Xiao'er raised her left hand and walked forward along her thumb for a distance, carefully observing whether there was any "monster".
There's even a bizarre rule: "If you're killed by a monster, you're expelled." But the monsters are definitely going to be weaker, right? You can't just let excellent students drop out; they'll be slammed by society!
Even though she thought so, her legs still trembled as she walked forward.
What if a giant sandworm emerges from the ground and kills me in an instant? How am I going to call my mom and tell her I'm dropping out of school?
Say "Mom, I'm sorry, I was expelled from school because I was so bad at playing games."
Her legs froze at the thought.
The classmates behind him called out hopefully, "Student Chen, is it dangerous up ahead? Are there any monsters?"
I also want to know if there is anything weird!
Chen Xiao'er was extremely nervous. She took a deep breath and moved her legs forward.
Because my classmates also took care of me.
Moreover, as a member of the group, my test scores are at the bottom. If I retreat again when encountering problems, everyone will not be able to help but distance themselves from me.
Thinking back to the previous group activities, I performed so badly that it was all thanks to my classmates who helped me clean up the mess.
And what about the incident with Xinnaya last time? They risked breaking the law to help me shoot. How could I be afraid of just being expelled from school? No, I'm still so scared!
Phew~ Calm down, don't be afraid.
Chen Xiao'er closed her eyes, put her fingers through her glasses to wipe the corners of her eyes, let her dry eyeballs move left and right, and then suddenly opened them.
Since it's a game, there should be hint lines or something...
The guess turned into reality in an instant, and the clear eyes slowly widened: It’s true!
A white dotted line appeared out of nowhere, stretching from her feet into the distance. She took off her glasses and quickly put them back on: they vanished as soon as she took them off, reappeared when she put them on—truly a game-specific clue!
"Hey everyone, I found a clue. Wait, there's more than one!"
Chen Xiao'er walked a few steps along the clue line before she saw a dotted fork in the road. A blurry black shadow vaguely appeared on the other end of the dotted line.
She turned and ran along the dotted line, and a small raised mound of earth came into view.
The black shadow became solid, twisting and turning in the mud. It was obvious that it was a wild monster.
Her classmates followed her, feeling so overwhelmed by the pressure of being expelled that they dared not even breathe.
Chen Xiao'er lowered her voice and asked, "Can you see the monster over there? How about... I go and kill it?"
"No need, classmate Chen, please come back first."
Qian Xiaomei and Xing Shuyao exchanged glances, then took Zhao Zhengyi away from the team.
They tacitly separated to the left and right and surrounded them from both sides.
Pasha, Pasha.
The footsteps of the two were already light, and Qian Xiaomei was almost flying on the wind.
Chen Xiao'er stood in the distance and watched nervously, until her classmates approached the monster's feet, she breathed a sigh of relief: victory is certain.
"Chiu?"
The black monster the size of a bathtub twitched, and then a sharp sword appeared in the center.
"Chimi——"
The sword turned and dug out a large piece of flesh!
Sizzle——
Qian Xiaomei rotated the hilt of the sword and cut it horizontally, smoothly cutting it into two pieces.
Zhao Zhengyi's hammer followed closely behind, hitting the cross section with a clang.
Sizzle... The monster collapsed, and large swathes of gas evaporated with a hissing sound. When the steam had completely dissipated, a small, bright round bead appeared on the ground, rolling playfully.
Chen Xiao'er nodded quietly: No wonder their attacks avoided the core, it turned out they were after the dropped items.
Qian Xiaomei picked up the round beads through her gloves. She was about to put them into the collective storage box when she turned to look at Chen Xiao'er: "Student Chen, let's put our harvest together first and divide it up when we get back."
"Of course you can~" Chen Xiao'er was very familiar with the team mode of online games and subconsciously agreed. After answering, I felt a little like laughing. I didn't participate in the battle. This question should be asked to Zhao Zhengyi.
Ling looked at Chen Xiao'er's smile intently, and suddenly a line of words appeared in front of him.
[Acting Alone with Chen Xiao'e - Observing Changes in Her Abilities]
It's a mission.
Ling blinked, took two steps forward, and naturally took Chen Xiao'er's hand.
"What's wrong~" Chen Xiao'er turned around and brushed against her senior sister's smooth long hair.
Zero lowered his head slightly, his icy blue eyes filled with concentration. "I want to go alone with you, is that okay?"
alone!
Chen Xiao'er's cheeks quickly turned red, and she stammered, "But my classmates..."
"Do I need to ask for the opinions of my classmates? I understand."
Ling nodded, then turned to face the students around her. Her voice was calm and clear: "Classmates, Xiao'er and I will be working alone to complete the mission assigned by the school. Do you have any objections?"
"Dear students, I will be working alone with Xiao'ai to conduct various tests required by the church. Do you have any objections?"
Senior sister, how can you say that!
Chen Xiao'er's face changed, but before she could explain, her classmates had already tacitly made way, leaving the scene clear, as if to say, "Please do as you please."
"Well, everyone..." Chen Xiao'er was led by her senior sister and walked a few steps. She couldn't help but look back at Lin Lang: Please help~ Say something.
Lin Lang received her signal, gave a mysterious smile, and then - raised a thumbs up.
What on earth did you understand? I just can’t understand!
"Student Chen."
Finally, Xing Shuyao came over. He didn't act as a riddle teller, but he didn't understand Chen Xiao'er's blinking eyes at all.
He handed me a notebook and said sincerely, "The dotted lines on the glasses are a bit messy. Could you mark the approximate location of the monster in the notebook? Just a rough direction will be fine. It would be a great help."
"We can't detect the monster's exact location. Could you draw the information you sensed? Even just marking the general direction would help reduce casualties. Thank you very much."
Those dotted lines are okay, maybe the background image is a bit noisy?
Chen Xiao'er didn't think too much about it. She took the notebook and used a ballpoint pen to draw all the dotted lines she saw.
Rustle, rustle.
After she finished drawing, she handed the notebook back: "Okay, there are six dots in total. Actually, there is no need to fight monsters, we can just avoid them." No matter how fun the game is, the risk of dropping out is too great.
Xing Shuyao took the notebook, smiled, and shook his head. "Thank you, but unfortunately we can't do that. To get more regular points, we have to take some risks."
"Thank you, but unfortunately we can't do that. Energy is too important, someone has to take the risk."
After he finished speaking, he slid his wheelchair away with his classmates. Judging from the direction, it should be the nearest dotted point.
Chen Xiao'er stared at their backs as they left in a daze: I always feel that everyone is different from me.
It’s not IQ or personality, but a certain kind of...enlightenment.
If the teacher asks us why we go to college, I will say it is for a better life, in fact, it is to find a good job. What about you, how would you answer?
I'm afraid your reasons are completely different from mine.
"Xiao Ai, let's go."
The senior student's hand was gently placed on her shoulder, and Chen Xiao'er came out of the mysterious feeling.
She smiled slightly and took Ling's hand lightly. "Okay~"
Don't think too much!
Everyone is no different than me. It doesn't matter if their motivation and goals are different. Don't make excuses for your laziness.
Chen Xiao'er raised her head and looked into the foggy distance.
Okay, you're both perfectionists and hard workers, that's great. You guys go ahead and I'll catch up!
"Three, two, one."
She laughed and counted to three, then let go of her senior's hand and rushed out.
…
I can’t push forward anymore.
Chen Xiao'er stood on one foot by the pond, took off her shoes and shook off the sand.
They were really scared just now. A translucent monster was hiding on the small map and suddenly jumped out when they walked towards its face.
Fortunately, the monster flew away howling and no forced battle was triggered, otherwise she would have cried to death in the principal's office if two student records were dropped at once.
The training location chosen by the school was quite dull, with nothing but plains all around. They hadn't even bothered to build a pavilion. She and her senior schoolmates navigated a multitude of monsters before finally finding a pond to rest.
Crash.
Ling emerged from the lake, her long silver hair curled up with water droplets.
She scooped up a pool of water and held it in front of Xiao'e: "Look, pearls." ["Look, energy fragments."]
It’s really a pearl!
Chen Xiao'er picked up the beads from the water in amazement, and when she held them up to the light, she could see the iridescent coating on the surface.
She admired it for a long time before reluctantly returning it to her senior: "This is a decoration, right? Do you want to put it back?"
"No, this is also a game item." ["No, this can also be used to charge."]
Zero grasped the pearl into his palm, and the light flashed and then disappeared.
This game is so realistic, and it even has a backpack system.
Just as Chen Xiao'er was about to say "I'll try it too", she saw several figures walking towards her from the horizon.
This group of people are tall and short, strong and thin, but the age gap is quite large, so they are definitely not students from other classes.
Could it be the "dangerous indigenous people" the teacher mentioned?
Chen Xiao'er took a closer look and burst out laughing: Impossible, he is dressed like a savage, he must be a cosplay staff member.
She took off her glasses and put them back on. As soon as she put on the glasses, she could see a layer of light purple light on them, which was obviously an NPC prompt.
The school was really generous, inviting so many extras for a practical class. "Zero, I'll go follow and see. Maybe I can trigger some hidden quest."
"wait,"
[Number 0, just testing Chen Xiao'er's attitude towards humans from other factions, and comparing it to her attitude towards anomalies.]
Ling's worried eyes turned cold again. She chased after Xiao'er, took her hand, and said calmly, "Wait, I'll go with you."
