Chapter 85 The Last Game
"Do you want to participate in the class competition?" Lily asked Wen Le.
Wen Le is a very busy man now. He successfully upgraded to a three-star therapist three years ago, and this was widely reported on Starnet for a while.
Ever since becoming a three-star healer, Wen Le has been incredibly busy. Not only does he have to manage the clinic, but he's also been receiving more and more assignments from the association. Besides the annual requirement to produce a certain amount of potions and submit them, he's also been asked to help with cleanup tasks. While healers aren't required to accept these tasks, they can't always refuse them. Furthermore, the rewards for these assignments are quite substantial, especially since three-star healers offer points, which are even more generous. Wen Le couldn't bear to let these points slip away.
This has caused him to be extremely busy now.
"I plan to attend. After all, this is the last class activity, so at least I want to keep a souvenir." Wen Le said, "Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to hear others reminiscing about the past when I don't attend the class reunion."
"You've even thought about something like a class reunion?" Xu Dongdong clicked his tongue, "Why would you attend such a low-level thing?" In the little fat man's understanding, a class reunion is for those who are doing well to show off, and those who are not doing well to build relationships. What's the point of a group of people getting together with various purposes?
Wen Le smiled but said nothing. Li Zhenzhen, however, said pertinently, "It's actually quite fun for classmates to get together and reminisce about their school days." As for being treated as a foil to a red flower, that wasn't the case with them. Forget about others, Wen Le alone would be enough to put those people in a league of their own. Even if Wen Le continued to stagnate, he was still a three-star healer, not someone who could be easily offended.
As for the three of them, even if their future achievements cannot compare to Wen Le, they have the resources and will not do too badly. So they can go to the party with a relaxed mood, and by the way, they can also watch the jokes among their former classmates.
Wen Le nodded: "That's what I mean."
The little girl still understands him.
…
The class competition was a little different than Wen Le had imagined. He'd thought it would be a field competition like the team competition, where they'd be thrown into a real-life battle. Instead, it turned out to be a quiz. The competition consisted of two parts: a quick-answer test of basic knowledge, with the class with the highest score winning. The second part involved practical application, and the combined scores from both parts would give the class with the highest overall score the winner.
Wen Le was a little disappointed, finding it rather uninteresting. He was completely defeated in this kind of quiz. He'd been flopping through theory exams for years, barely passing them each time. If he were to participate in a quick-answer contest, his class would likely be left with nothing.
The head teacher obviously knew this, so when assigning representatives to answer the questions, he directly designated their class's study committee member and the top nine students in the theoretical exam. As for Wen Le, he was assigned as the leader of the practical group, and he led the remaining nine students to participate in the final practical operation.
For this reason, students in the practical group even joked: "This is a manifestation of true strength. Our slogan is to never talk nonsense if we can do it."
This caused the students passing by to burst into laughter.
The result was unexpected: a tie in the test section. This led to a debate. Watching the two sides engage in a heated debate over a single topic, each trying to outwit the other with their sharp tongues, Wen Le felt dizzy. His only thought was, "What a great eloquence!" Never argue with cultured people again, or I'll never win.
After the questions, it was time for the practical portion, which was Wen Le's strong suit. The potions required were simple, elementary, and he could make them with his eyes closed. So, of course, his class won the practical portion. However, because they had lost the debate portion, their overall score was only second place.
Wen Le and his team were eliminated.
Even though we lost, everyone was in a good mood. After all, as we had said at the beginning, participation was the most important thing, and the main event would be the team and individual competitions. The class competition was just an appetizer.
After the class competition came the team competition. Xu Dongdong excitedly shouted, "First, first, first! I must take first place this time!"
They had managed to finish tenth in the last competition, so they had to take first place this time. Over the past five years, they had grown in both height and age, and their strength had also greatly increased. With Wen Le's potion as their aid, if they still couldn't take first place, then those five years would have been wasted.
The competition was quite moving. Wen Le and his 4+1 team were like wolves among a flock of sheep, their attacks hitting home with precision. Even the muddy swamp couldn't stop them from harvesting heads. In the end, everyone had to hide from them, forcing Wen Le and his team to engage in a chase-and-escape game in the swamp forest.
The audience watching the live broadcast laughed and said "The wolf is coming". Some experts even changed the faces of Wen Le and others into wolf faces, and the faces of the students who fled in panic into rabbit faces. The scene was surprisingly harmonious and made netizens who saw the video laugh uncontrollably.
Some viewers also lamented how time flies. In the blink of an eye, those four children have grown up so much, and their fighting ability is completely different. Even if they fight in person, they may not be the opponent.
Some netizens even said that the 4+1 team was like cheating, not to mention that Wen Le was a three-star healer, which was unfair to other participating students.
As soon as this was said, other netizens who supported Shaohua Academy responded with a retort: "What do you mean by unfair? It's wrong for someone to become a three-star healer through their own efforts? Your school is too cowardly and has low combat power, so you turn around and blame others for cheating. How can you be so shameless?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate uproar in the live broadcast room. Some netizens who were eager to watch the fun also joined in the war of words, making the already muddy waters even more muddy.
Xu Dongdong, one of the main culprits in this melee, couldn't help but sigh after harvesting yet another head: "It's so boring. It's getting harder and harder to catch the fat sheep."
As a student of the auxiliary department, the fat boy’s five years of classes were not in vain. Although he was a poor student in theory, his performance in hands-on operations was among the top in the whole grade. In addition, his family and friends provided him with endless good materials for practice, so the fat boy is still very capable now.
As soon as the 4+1 team landed in the swamp, Xu Dongdong fashioned a small boat using local materials. While the other teams were still struggling in the mire, Wen Le and his team were already free to come and go. It's easy to imagine how brutal the ensuing scene would be. Many contestants were crushed in the mire by Wen Le and his team before they could even demonstrate their abilities, resulting in their elimination.
As for Lily, she was even more direct, confronting him head-on. This little girl's fighting skills had improved over the years, and even her strength was greater than before. This punch directly hit her opponent so hard that tears and nosebleeds flowed, and she knelt down and called her daddy on the spot.
Li Zhenzhen and Jin Cancan, unwilling to get their hands dirty, teamed up to set up a few traps. Each of them, along with their cat, disguised themselves and waited for the "silly rabbit" to come to them. After a few such encounters, Wen Le and his companions became terrifying figures that the other contestants avoided.
In the end, Wen Le and his 4+1 team earned more than 200 points more than the second place team. This was because the other teams avoided them, otherwise the area they were in would have been cleared out.
Until the end of the competition, all the contestants in the area where Wen Le and his group were located felt relieved. Compared to facing threats directly, the days of living in fear all day long were the most difficult to endure. Now they were finally relieved.
Almost as soon as the teacher announced the end of the competition, all the hidden contestants shed tears of excitement, some even cried like 200-pound children. It can be seen how much physical and mental torture they had endured during this period.
This made the netizens who were watching the live broadcast feel embarrassed to laugh at them, and some even shed a crocodile tear. The main reason was that these kids were just too pitiful, hahahaha.
Even the judges who announced the results had expressions of pity on their faces when they read out the rankings, which shows how pitiful the contestants in the same district as Wen Le and his friends were.
The younger students below also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the brutal seniors were about to graduate, and they would not encounter these humanoid weapons in the next qualifying round. It was really cause for celebration.
The principals of the other schools were so envious that their faces were twisted with envy, yet they still had to congratulate their envied colleague. God knows how much they wanted to smash their smug faces. Last time, Shaohua Academy took first place, and now it's the same school again. How unfair! Then they wondered why Wen Le, the three-star healer, wasn't a student at their school. Otherwise, they would be the ones taking the spotlight right now.
It's foreseeable that the upcoming intake will see a surge of new students flocking to Shaohua College, many of whom are expected to possess a talent for healing. It can't be helped; Wen Le's reputation is incredibly well-known. As Wen Le's alma mater, Shaohua College is the most direct beneficiary. As long as Wen Le's reputation endures, Shaohua College will be remembered by the interstellar world, along with the Wen Le name.
The three students with Wen Le also performed very well in the competition. Even with Wen Le, a therapist, standing next to them, they were not outdone by him, which is enough to show their excellence.
Tsk, the more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel.
