"Chuchu, what's wrong?"
While He Xie was deep in thought, a boy in the crowd suddenly came over and asked him a question.
At this point, Lin Chuchu had already removed the water droplet from her ankle and returned it to He Xie.
She looked at Lin Qiye and said, "It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle by accident."
Lin Qiye, concerned for his younger sister, said, "Come down, let me check how badly it's crooked."
Lin Chuchu: "No need, He Xie has already checked for me. I'll just rest on his back for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye glanced at He Xie, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He Xie noticed his unusual behavior, but didn't say anything.
He knew that this was Lin Chuchu's cousin, who was also Lin Xiaoxiao's younger brother.
At this moment, Wen Xiuwen, who was standing to the side, said:
"Thank you, I saw Ruoli, I'm going over to her."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards An Ruoli, who was not far to the side.
However, she hadn't walked more than a few meters when she suddenly turned back, smiling, and said, "Thank you, but if Ruoli comes this way, I don't need to go over."
"Um."
He Xie responded.
After he finished speaking, he looked towards An Ruoli and found that An Ruoli was also looking at him.
However, the moment their eyes met, An Ruoli immediately looked away.
He Xie didn't pay attention and his gaze quickly returned to the fruit in the middle of the swamp.
"Look, it's An Ruoli from Shanhai Middle School."
"It looks even more beautiful up close."
"She has both talent and beauty; I wonder who will be lucky enough to have her in the future."
When An Ruoli walked to stand next to He Xie, across from Wen Xiuwen, many candidates around them whispered among themselves, marveling at An Ruoli's beauty.
He Xie listened without any emotional fluctuation, his eyes scanning the swamp around him, using his senses to check for any traps or dangers.
Lin Chuchu, who was on his back, rested her head on his shoulder and looked at An Ruoli with hostility and provocation in her eyes.
An Ruoli pretended not to see it and just stood there silently.
However, it was obvious that her expression had become much colder, clearly indicating that Lin Chuchu's gaze had successfully hurt her.
"He Xie, Chu Chu, you're both here!"
Zhang Kaizi, who was originally on the other side of the swamp, had somehow come over as well.
As soon as he saw He Xie carrying Lin Chuchu, he immediately started to cheer.
The two of them are so intimate, daring to press their bodies so close in public. That's quite something.
Lin Chuchu blushed at his words, but she was secretly delighted.
He Xie ignored his jeering.
Many of the other examinees glanced at the scene and then continued discussing how to obtain the fruit in the center of the swamp.
Gradually, more and more test takers gathered around.
The swamp banks, which used to have some gaps, are now completely packed with people.
He Xie explored for a long time and found that the swamp seemed to be safe.
That's precisely why he found it strange.
If there's no trap, what's the point of the people in the Education Department sticking onto this piece of fruit?
He Xie was deep in thought.
He could easily obtain this fruit from the swamp.
However, this only applies to him.
Many of the candidates present could not do this.
The swamp in front of them alone stumped them.
Because it's too wide.
It's a distance of over a hundred meters.
Most importantly, they feared that some ancient alien race might be lurking beneath the swamp.
Therefore, many people dare not act rashly.
However, some people with good hands-on skills have already gathered a lot of branches and started making rafts, planning to row across and pick the fruit.
Seeing this, He Xie turned to Lin Chuchu behind him and said, "Come down for a moment, I'm going to pick some fruit."
"Um."
Although Lin Chuchu was somewhat reluctant to part, she still nodded in agreement.
Soon, He Xie put her down to sit.
Then he noticed that Lin Chuchu was soaked.
It must have been because we were pressed too tightly together the way we were going.
In the sweltering summer heat, she must be sweating buckets.
Seeing this, He Xie tossed the bottle containing the water to her, smiled, and said, "Take it, it can be used as an air conditioner, albeit barely."
Lin Chuchu took the bottle, feeling incredibly sweet inside.
She looked at He Xie and said, like a wife reminding her husband who was about to go on a long trip, "Be careful, this swamp looks quite dangerous."
"Mm." He Xie nodded.
Then, he took a few steps back, giving himself room to sprint.
Many people looked at him and whispered among themselves.
"Isn't this the arrogant guy from Shanhai Middle School? Is he planning to skip over there?"
"That looks like at least a hundred meters away, how did he jump across?"
"Besides, the piece of land in the middle of the swamp is so small that even if he can jump that far, it's hard to guarantee that he'll land right on it."
Many test takers did not know He Xie, only that he came from Shanhai Middle School, and that his name was not on the real-time ranking of points.
Therefore, I am very puzzled by his behavior at this moment.
Some of the more kind-hearted test-takers, seeing this, offered their well-intentioned advice.
"Dude, this is too dangerous. Please don't overestimate your abilities."
"Yeah, didn't you see how many top students there are here? Everyone else is still observing, so don't overestimate yourself."
"You only have one life, my friend. You can't risk it like that."
Faced with everyone's persuasion, He Xie just smiled and remained silent.
Then, in the next second, he rushed out.
With the help of the crowd, the honey trap was successfully triggered, and the person was lifted high into the air.
Ten meters!
Twenty meters!
Thirty meters!
Forty meters!
Fifty meters!
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
They looked up at He Xie as he rose into the sky, their eyes stinging from the sight of the lady in the heavens.
A few seconds later—
"winter!"
He Xie descended from the sky, landing heavily on a small piece of land in the middle of the swamp with a deafening thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Holy crap!
The people on the edge of the swamp were all shocked.
Those candidates who were still working hard to build their rafts were completely dumbfounded.
Did he jump...jump over there?
How could he just jump over a distance of over 100 meters like that?
Is this even human?
Am I seeing things?
[The contrast values from everyone present are ++8547+9735+8363+9272+9263......]
He Xie wasn't particularly surprised by these unexpectedly high values.
Because they've earned so much, they've become numb.
He looked at the weed in front of him and, without thinking, reached out and picked the fruit off it.
"Ah, my exotic flowers and fruits!"
"hateful!"
"Holy crap! My raft is almost finished!"
Seeing that He Xie had successfully picked the exotic flower and fruit, the group of examinees by the swamp were all wailing.
He Xie ignored the voices and simply examined the fruit in his hand.
The appearance looks familiar, somewhat like the dragon fruit from my past life.
It's dark black in color, and it looks poisonous.
Soon, an item notification popped up from the depths of my mind.
【Sleep Fruit】: A strange flower and fruit that grows deep in dark forests. It contains a deadly poison and is inedible to living beings. If touched for more than three seconds, it will explode and release a large amount of sleep-inducing substance.
He Xie: "?"
The next second—"Bang!"
The fruit in He Xie's hand exploded.
In an instant, a large amount of black mist appeared, spreading to an area of hundreds of meters in radius.
"thump!"
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
"Thump! Thump!"
With a thud, everyone around the swamp was poisoned.
This even includes the security officer whose biological level is at the first mutation level.
He Xie did not fall.
The biological breathing technique he used daily had significantly increased his poison resistance.
He opened all his senses and looked around.
No mastermind behind this has been seen.
I only saw this scene:
—Everyone else had fallen, but An Ruoli remained unharmed on the shore.
He Xie frowned, his mind beginning to suspect something, and immediately used a Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy card to spy on An Ruoli's biological information.
Soon, a biometric notification panel popped up.
Then... he froze.
