Chapter 80 Grave Numbers Above All 42 Sixth Middle School
Cheng Hai shrugged: "How could that be? We all suffered injuries to varying degrees; we were just worried about the students."
Wu Wangwang slapped away another student who rushed up. She didn't say anything, but was just thinking about when Ling Yuanshan would finish so she could come out and guard against these players.
The NPCs' offensive ceased an hour later, realizing that dragging it out was pointless and would only reduce their own manpower.
Ling Yuanshan finally came out with brown sugar water. He saw that the players had gathered and shared some with them.
After the attack from outside stopped, Wu Wangwang closed the cafeteria door. However, from inside, it could be seen that NPCs began to wander outside the cafeteria windows, presumably looking for a way to break in.
The students were woken up to drink sugar water to replenish their energy. Afterward, everyone went to get supplies, mainly food, enough to survive for at least two days. This cafeteria wasn't a place they could hold out for long; the NPCs would eventually break in, and they also had to consider whether they could survive until the college entrance exam after leaving the cafeteria.
Unfortunately, I didn't bring my bag when I went downstairs, so now I can only make do with what I have and pack as much as I can.
After stocking up on their favorite foods, everyone gathered at a table in the center of the cafeteria to discuss what to do next.
Cheng Hai spoke first: "What are your plans for the future? Judging from the attitude of those NPCs outside, they are already figuring out how to attack us. In fact, if they were smart, they could just set a fire and we wouldn't be able to get out even if we wanted to."
Arson is secondary; the top students in this school are all very good at science. It wouldn't be difficult for them to go to the chemistry lab, get some materials, and blow up the first floor of the cafeteria.
"We chose the cafeteria because we need food. After we get the food, we need to find a way to avoid being trapped in one place. But we can't all stay together; we have to separate. Otherwise, it's pointless to be ganged up on by them. We have to divide their forces." Ling Yuanshan didn't have a specific plan; instead, he said some obvious nonsense.
Cheng Hai wasn't buying it: "So where do you plan to hide? I'm not trying to copy your ideas, but since we're going to separate, we must know where each other can go to avoid each other."
Ling Yuanshan looked at Wu Wangwang and asked, "Ge Nan, it's your decision."
No matter where you go, you can't avoid players wanting to betray their teammates to save themselves. After staying in the game for a long time, it's hard for them to have any thoughts of cooperation. Even if they temporarily cooperate with a stronger player, they will still have their own ulterior motives. In other words, no matter what decisions they make here, they may be harassed later.
Wu Wangwang glanced around and saw that the students were touching their wounds, while the players were all cautiously holding their items. The difference was too great.
After thinking for a while, Wu Wangwang said, "In the current situation, it's better to stay still than to move. The students are all injured to varying degrees. If we go out again, we won't be able to run for long. At least here, because there is food, the NPCs won't launch a large-scale attack for the time being. Let's stall for as long as we can."
One player scoffed after hearing this, saying, "Womanly compassion."
The students all looked up. They had always known they were a burden, but because they hadn't faced this malice directly, and because of Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan's protection, they were somewhat deceiving themselves. Now, the players had repeatedly hinted that they should be abandoned or sold, and Ling Yuanshan had been splattered with blood.
Even clay figures have a temper, let alone these students.
The second male player glared at the player who had just spoken: "What are you so arrogant about? You guys just survived a few more times and have items to use. If we had items, we wouldn't be any worse off than you!"
The players suddenly burst into laughter. One young player chuckled, "Kid, let me tell you something else. All of you survived the first few dungeons by your own bare hands and skill. Did you think you'd get items just by coming in? The first few dungeons were a reward for the game to improve players' living conditions. Items came later."
To avoid arousing suspicion from students about the number of times they entered the dungeon, Ling Yuanshan and Wu Wangwang never mentioned this matter. After all, they had never experienced it themselves, and what they knew about the rules could be said to be from observations of other players. As for the rewards, they were truly keeping it a secret.
They all looked at Ling Yuanshan and Wu Wangwang. The two of them had just taken out other items, which meant that they couldn't have only run the dungeon once. But with a month of emotional build-up, they were willing to believe that the two were hiding it with good intentions. Now they just wanted to know if that was true.
Wu Wangwang nodded: "Yes, I come from the countryside. I entered the instance because I was starving. The early rewards were money and rental houses."
Ling Yuanshan continued, "As you all know, I had to take a break from school due to illness. I went in on the operating table. I spent about ten dungeons in the early stages of the operation on that time to save my life."
In other words, the fact that the students were protected this time is already a form of compensation from God for their accidental entry into the game.
As young people, they tend to be somewhat competitive. They immediately adjusted their mindset, realizing that since they would have to be independent sooner or later, they might as well start now.
They all said not to worry about them, that getting through the mission was the priority, and that they would take care of themselves.
Wu Wangwang glanced at them: "Don't be fooled by their provocation. In this kind of game, the most important thing is to hide and survive to the end. Survival is the key to winning."
Cheng Hai clapped lightly: "No wonder you and Gao Hu have so many items. Just this mentality alone is worse than most players. But you said that it's better to stay still than to move. How long do you plan to stay still? It's okay during the day now, but if they break in at night, it will be difficult for you to even run away, right?"
"No trouble at all. Don't you know that the rules of this school involve killing both humans and ghosts?" Wu Wangwang retorted.
The ghosts' stance is particularly unpredictable. They tend to side with the students who summoned them, but they can also make deals like Liu Hong. However, the abilities of ghosts vary, and neither Wu Wangwang nor Ling Yuanshan need such deals.
Cheng Hai has recently made some progress, but he doesn't have any other clues. He wants to continue searching for other leads, but there isn't enough time. However, it doesn't matter; they are actually better at handling the current situation.
Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan were so meticulous that they couldn't gain any advantage and could only keep quiet for the time being and make plans later.
During the discussion, Wu Wangwang did not forget to keep an eye on the situation outside. She had actually come up with a solution, but she could not stay with the players; they had to be separated.
Then Wu Wangwang came up with a plan. She said directly, "I have a rather unethical method. It was difficult to implement before, but it's possible now. Gao Hu and I will go out for a while. You guys wait here until the students outside start attacking, then run to the convenience store. We'll meet up there."
Ling Yuanshan didn't know what Wu Wangwang was planning, but when she heard that they were going to separate, she started distributing the remaining fireworks to the students so that they would have a temporary chance to break through.
Cheng Hai hurriedly asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"Let's secure the final pass rules. You haven't forgotten that what we really want to pass is the college entrance exam, right? Just in case, Ling Yuanshan and I will find a way to destroy all the stationery in the school later, so that none of them can take the exam." Wu Wangwang didn't hide anything this time.
Moreover, most of the NPCs' weapons are stationery, and many of them were damaged in the fight just now, but it's still not enough. If they didn't have such powerful weapons as stationery, the night would be much easier to endure.
Ling Yuanshan nodded: "Understood, we'll go together later."
The two didn't linger. After discussing it, they were about to leave. The other players, each with their own ulterior motives, didn't stop them. The students, knowing they couldn't help, took their fireworks and hid in a corner. The game difficulty for them had been greatly reduced by Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan. As long as they survived, that was enough to help.
After leaving the cafeteria, Wu Wangwang closed the door and said, "You're good at chemistry, so let's strike first and see if we can get rid of all the places in the school where stationery can be hidden."
Ling Yuanshan understood what she meant, so he took out his long sword and walked towards the laboratory building: "Let's go over there first, then give me some time."
The two quickly broke out of the encirclement, only to find that many NPCs had not attacked the cafeteria. They had already gone to think of other ways to take action. The physics whiz was making weapons, and the biochemistry whiz was making biochemical weapons. Ling Yuanshan's arrival now was already considered slow; they still had to seize the experimental building.
But so much time has passed since morning, those with the skills have already prepared a batch, and without protective gear, it will be difficult for them to break in quickly.
Ling Yuanshan fought off another wave of NPCs. He glanced at the map on the school path and said to Wu Wangwang, "Let's try a different approach and go somewhere else. Follow me."
Ling Yuanshan then moved in a direction they rarely went to. There were few buildings there; it was a small grove of trees that no one knew what to do with, just a place where the vice principal would patrol and crack down on prostitution every night.
Once over there, Ling Yuanshan climbed a tree and said, "Ge Nan, hold my position for me while I find my way."
Wu Wangwang immediately understood what he wanted to do, and readily agreed, while one of them continued to drop the scissors from below.
Ling Yuanshan climbed onto a suitable branch and asked Wu Wangwang to retrieve the Blood Continent. This bow has two modes: one for long-range attacks that only hit illusory objects, and the other for physical objects that only have one arrow. He drew the bow fully and aimed it at the courtyard of the teaching building. From this angle, he could also penetrate the administration building, the activity building, and the art building.
Beyond the school's diameter of 500 meters, the power of the Blood Continent could easily penetrate these buildings.
The illusory crimson arrows flew out, directly slicing off four buildings, and the teaching building was completely destroyed. The NPCs were shocked. They turned around abruptly, feeling the shock of their own base being destroyed.
After finishing the attack, Ling Yuanshan took out a physical arrow and aimed it at the experimental building. Unlike the central courtyard of the teaching building, the experimental building was not a virtual entity and could be considered a virtual object. Therefore, the only way to attack the experimental building was with a single physical arrow.
Without hesitation, he fired a second arrow, and the laboratory building collapsed instantly. Ling Yuanshan quickly climbed down and said, "I've dealt with the building. Shall we go back to pick them up now?"
Wu Wangwang nodded: "Okay, once we're done ahead of schedule, we'll go somewhere else. These NPCs don't seem to die because of our attacks; only school rules can make them disappear. Let's hurry back."
It was a relatively short distance from the grove to the cafeteria, but they had only run halfway when a huge explosion suddenly occurred. The first floor of the cafeteria was blown apart in their eyes. They exchanged a glance and ran back even faster.

Wu Wangwang: Why did the crystal explode? [Sigh]
Ling Yuanshan: You should play fewer games [laughing and crying with face covered]
