Wild Star.
Freshmen of the First Military Academy are undergoing field survival training here.
After entering university, I began high-intensity military training. For a whole month, the young and energetic boys and girls went from being excited and looking forward to it in the beginning to just wanting to be alive. They just hoped that the final wilderness survival training could be completed smoothly so that they could have a few days of rest afterwards.
"This week you will be spending time with teammates who are completely strangers to you. Each team will have ten people. We will appoint a captain and allow the team to change captains. At the same time, each person will have a rescue wrist. If you encounter danger, you can use the wrist to call for help. However, as long as the wrist is used, it means that the student has withdrawn from the competition."
In the Wilderness Star Base, the instructor was explaining the mission to the freshmen below, and the faces below the stage were all dark or honey-colored. No matter how outstanding their looks were, they would not be able to whiten their complexion after a month of torture. However, the freshmen had firm eyes and stood upright, looking very heroic.
The instructor nodded secretly and continued, "As for the method of obtaining points, we will send it to everyone's intelligence brain. Although some animals and plants with high danger levels have high points, I hope everyone recognizes their own strengths and does not lose the big picture for the small. Okay, your respective team assignment lists have been issued, and all teams will set off on time this afternoon."
The freshmen in the base began to look for their new teammates. After all, knowing the members of the team in advance also means that arrangements and deployments can be made in advance.
As the captain of Team 57, Zhao Yijie has found the other eight team members, except for the last one.
"Zhou Zhou? He's from the Mecha Department. That's not right. I haven't heard of this person in the Mecha Department in this month." Zhao Yiji looked at the list with a puzzled look on his face.
Just as he was about to go find the teacher to ask, an instructor discovered him.
"I was just looking for you. Your teammates are with us. Take them back quickly."
Zhao Yijie has met the other people, so the one with the instructor is the last teammate Zhou Zhou? But why is it with the instructor?
Zhao Yijie was full of doubts and followed the instructor upstairs.
The base covers a huge area. The bottom and first floors are various training rooms, while the second and third floors are student dormitories. Every year, students from many schools come here for training.
The fourth floor is the instructor's dormitory. Zhao Yijie followed the instructor to the fourth floor. He originally thought that Zhou Zhou would be here, but the instructor was still going upstairs.
Fifth floor? What is the fifth floor? It seems to be a monitoring room.
In order to ensure that the ecological balance on the planet will not be destroyed by the trainees, the testing room is mainly used to test the environment. It can also change the weather and climate, monitor the students' dynamics on the planet, etc. Generally, students are not allowed to enter here.
But why is this student named Zhou Zhou on this floor?
Zhao Yijie was confused, but he didn't dare to ask.
However, the instructor did not stop.
Sixth floor!
Zhao Yiji showed a shocked expression. It turned out that there was a sixth floor in the base? He had never heard of it.
At this time, Zhao Yiji also became curious about this teammate he had never met. What was his identity that allowed him to enter the sixth floor of the base.
The sixth floor is not large, but the surrounding surveillance systems and defense equipment are very advanced. He can even feel a strong sense of being watched. There must be someone in the dark watching their every move.
The instructor who had been nonchalant at the beginning now looked much more serious. He stood in front of the door of the innermost room on the sixth floor and knocked.
Zhao Yijie stared at the instructor. This instructor who was always unkempt and always scolded and kicked them on the buttocks actually became so polite! It's simply a curiosity.
From the student's expression, it can be seen that he must be cursing him in his heart. The instructor secretly kicked Zhao Yijie before the door was opened. What kind of look is that kid giving him? It's as if he is looking at a monster.
"Come in." A clear voice of a boy came from inside the door, and then the door was opened and a boy popped his head out.
Zhao Yijie's eyes lit up. The boy in front of him looked the same age as him, with flawless fair cheeks and soft and delicate features. He was as pretty as his cousin's favorite doll when she was a child.
The instructor nodded to the boy in front of him and said, "This is your captain, Zhao Yijie. You can ask him if you have any questions. I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, the instructor left, and his back looked like he was fleeing in a panic.
Zhao Yiji didn't expect that this person was his last teammate. He felt a little nervous when he saw him because he couldn't figure out his identity.
"You must be Zhou Zhou, I am your captain, and we will act together in the next week."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Zhou Zhou quickly ran back to the house and put on his backpack, then waved to the person standing in the shadows: "I'm leaving first, see you in a week."
Zhao Yijie could hear Zhou Zhou talking to someone, but he couldn't see the other person. However, he guessed that the one who could enter this level was probably a noble or a high-ranking official, and Zhou Zhou should be the young master of a noble family. He had the privilege of not participating in even the early training and came here specifically for field training to gild himself?
Unlike previous training, field training will be ranked, and teams with higher rankings will receive extra points. The scores students obtain through training, exams, etc. can determine which legion they will join after graduation, and people in the legion will naturally favor students with higher scores.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yijie's attitude instantly became subtle. Zhou Zhou, with a backpack on his back and a fair and tender appearance, did not look like a student of the mecha department at all, but more like a student of the art department.
I hope this young master can be more obedient, Zhao Yiji sighed. After all, the instructor brought him here to show his identity as a young master, and he probably wants him to take care of the other party.
The two walked down from the sixth floor. Zhou Zhou looked around curiously and was very interested in everything.
Zhao Yiji was silent for a while, thinking that they would still have to spend another week together, so he should understand the young master's character as soon as possible so that he could respond accordingly.
"Your name is Zhou Zhou, right?"
Zhou Zhou looked at Zhao Yijie and nodded, "Yeah."
"Didn't you come to the training before?" Zhao Yiji couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Zhou looked a little confused, and answered honestly: "I was in the hospital before and missed the training. I was just discharged today, and I will make up for it during the next holiday."
"Oh, I see." It turned out that he didn't skip the training because he was too tired, but because he was sick. This was forgivable. Zhao Yijie immediately changed his opinion of Zhou Zhou.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the team of ten gathered. Although they were all unfamiliar faces, Zhou Zhou stood out among them.
Because his appearance was so outstanding, there were three girls and seven boys in the team. Both boys and girls were exposed to wind and sun every day for this month. Even though the girls did a lot of sun protection, they were still tanned to a honey color, so the white and tender bun among them was particularly obvious.
Everyone's eyes couldn't stop looking at Zhou Zhou, but Zhou Zhou was very sensitive. Whenever someone looked at him, he would notice it and look over there immediately. He would also smile and nod at the other person, which made many boys and girls feel embarrassed.
Ten people introduced their names and majors respectively. Finally it was Zhou Zhou's turn. When he said that he was a student in Mecha Class 1, a boy in the team who was also in Mecha Class 1 questioned him, saying that he had never seen Zhou Zhou in the class.
Zhao Yiji hurriedly said that Zhou Zhou missed training due to illness and was discharged from the hospital today.
Several team members frowned when they saw the thin Zhou Zhou. After all, they wanted to get a good ranking in the wild survival, so they naturally hoped that there would be as many strong people as possible in their team. Although Zhou Zhou was from the mecha department, he didn't even participate in the training because of illness. He looked like a drag no matter how you looked at him.
"Are you hospitalized due to injury, or do you have some illness?" asked a boy.
"Duan Yu!" Zhao Yiji frowned. It was very rude to ask someone what illness he had in front of so many people.
Duan Yu glanced at the others and said, "I'm just asking. What if his illness is serious? We all want to get good results in this training. If someone falls behind, we have to keep an eye on him to see if he falls down. Why go to military school if you're not in good health? Why don't you just lie down at home?"
The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, but everyone heard it.
The others fell silent immediately. After all, they really didn't want to have a sick person in their team.
Zhou Zhou looked calm and said, "I had a stomachache last month, so I have been hospitalized. I don't have any other illnesses, and I have a good status."
Since entering this body, Zhou Zhou has been doing rehabilitation for several months. From the initial discomfort, when he couldn't even walk, to being able to move freely now, it really took a lot of effort.
Elvia originally wanted Zhou Zhou to take the school exam again the next year, but Zhou Zhou was unwilling to waste time. He studied knowledge while rehabilitating, and finally was admitted to the First Military Academy. His body also recovered to normal condition.
I successfully graduated from graduate school a week before school started.
Before, he had been eating the nutritious meals provided by the research institute. He almost cried after eating all kinds of porridge. After leaving the hospital, he secretly ran out to eat delicious food without telling Alvia.
The result is that I ate too much.
Zhou Zhou could eat from morning to night in the virtual world, and thought he could do the same in reality. He ate from one street to another, and then he collapsed.
Although he is an adult, Zhou Zhou's stomach and intestines are as fragile as those of a newborn baby. How could he possibly take in so much food at once?
He was then sent back to the research institute, where he underwent a series of examinations and had his gastrointestinal tract and various organs evaluated. He was not discharged from the hospital until a month later.
Zhou Zhou was telling the truth, but no one else believed it. Would he have to stay in the hospital for a month just because of a stomachache?
Everyone in the team had some complaints about Zhou Zhou, thinking that having such a person would definitely lower the score of the entire team, but they couldn't change teammates.
But Zhou Zhou didn't care about these at all. It was the first time for him to travel far away by himself. Everything around him was so new to him that he couldn't take it all in. Even though he noticed that some people didn't like him, it didn't matter to him now.
The team set off on time at one o'clock. Other teams left in different directions, and they also headed into the jungle according to the original plan.
The animals and plants that can obtain high scores are all recorded in the intelligent brain, and they did not bring food and water when they set out, so the top priority now is to find a water source.
When everyone was discussing where to go, Zhou Zhou listened quietly; when everyone was talking about what prey to catch for food and what high-value plants to look for, he still listened quietly without expressing any opinions.
When the team found the water source, it was already getting dark. Zhao Yijie decided to rest at the water source for one night and set off again tomorrow.
Some people looked for prey, while the rest set up tents and made fires to cook.
Three of the girls, Zhou Zhou, and a boy from the Botany Department were left behind, and the rest looked for food.
The remaining five people all looked rather thin. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with this way of division, the girls still tried their best to do what they were supposed to do. Zhou Zhou and another boy named Meng Ziye also helped.
Zhou Zhou didn’t know how to pitch a tent, but when he helped the other two girls, he learned it after watching it once. The others didn’t even notice that he didn’t know how to pitch a tent, and he pitched the second and third tents successfully.
Zhou Zhou didn't know how to make a fire either, and only learned it after watching Meng Ziye do it once.
Although Zhou Zhou didn't talk much, he worked very quickly and helped others, which changed the impression of the four people present on him.
The girls originally didn't have much of a bad impression of Zhou Zhou because of his looks and well-behaved personality, and now they find that he is quite capable, and their attitude has become more friendly.
By the time the tent was pitched and the fire was lit, the other five people had not returned yet.
"I don't know where they went to find prey. Logically, we should be able to find traces of animals not far from the water source. Could they have encountered some danger?" a girl said worriedly.
Another girl snorted, "Didn't they say they were very powerful? Maybe they caught a big prey."
This girl also studied combat, and when the tasks were divided, she also wanted to follow them to catch prey, but another boy from the combat department secretly mocked her not to hold them back, and said that girls should do easier work.
This is the kind of talk she hates the most.
"Okay, let's wait a little longer. Maybe they just walked far away. What if they come back when we go out to look for them?" the third girl advised.
The five people present were warming themselves by the fire, but they were all hungry. They had been walking from one o'clock in the afternoon to the evening, and had been working since then, so they must be hungry.
When he heard someone's stomach growling, Zhou Zhou stood up and said, "I'll try to find some fish from the river next to us."
After saying that, he walked towards the river.
The others looked at each other. It was so dark at night, how could they possibly see the fish in the water?
Zhou Zhou saw a kind of thin and long plant growing by the water when everyone was stationed there. He collected the plants one by one, then sat by the fire and began to weave a grass net.
The others came over curiously, guessed what he wanted to do and helped to weave. With the combined efforts of several people, the grass was soon woven into a simple net. Zhou Zhou put the net into the water and spread it out, and tied the two sides of the grass net to a nearby big tree.
The river they were in had several branches. Zhou Zhou picked up a branch and slapped the water upstream to drive the fish towards the grass net.
When the two girls pulled up the net, they found that there were actually several fish in it.
"We really caught a fish." Everyone's eyes lit up. No one thought that such a simple method could actually catch fish.
The girl from the combat department scaled and gutted the fish very skillfully and cleaned it up thoroughly.
The fish was already roasting on the fire. Zhou Zhou looked at the distance and asked, "There is a rabbit about 20 meters away from us. Do you want to eat it?"
"eat!"
Zhou Zhou nodded. The distance was not too far, and he could rush back immediately no matter what happened, so Zhou Zhou went to catch rabbits again.
The girl from the combat department had long lost her initial resentment, and she immediately stood up and followed Zhou Zhou.
Not long after, the girl came back holding a fat gray rabbit. The rabbit was dead with a dagger stuck in its body.
The girl held the rabbit with a bit of pride: "I caught it myself, and shot it in one shot."
The other two girls looked at her smug look and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, we know you caught it, we're relying on you for dinner tonight, but where is Zhou Zhou?"
The girl walked towards the river with the rabbit in her hand, saying, "He taught me how to catch the rabbit. He said he saw something edible, so he asked me to come back first."
Meng Ziye did not participate in the girls' conversation, but stared at the grilled fish, turning from time to time and sprinkling something on them.
When the girl brought back the washed rabbit, he took it and continued to roast it, and even lit another fire because the fire was not enough.
Zhou Zhou saw a tree with edible fruits, and the top part was already ripe and especially delicious.
Almost the moment he saw the fruit, Zhou Zhou began to swallow his saliva.
After he became a human, the biggest discovery he made was that the food in the real world was a hundred times more delicious than that in the virtual world. Especially after eating porridge for several months in the research institute, everything he saw now tasted delicious.
When I saw the red fruits on the tree and thought of their sour and sweet taste, I couldn’t help myself.
The tree was quite tall, so Zhou Zhou rolled up his sleeves and started climbing up. After half a year of rehabilitation, he had become very flexible in using his body, so climbing a tree was no problem at all.
After picking the fruits, Zhou Zhou put them in his clothes and went back happily.
When Meng Ziye saw these fruits, his eyes lit up instantly.
Originally thinking that he also liked to eat this kind of fruit, Zhou Zhou generously gave him a few. However, the other party did not want the ripe ones, but only wanted the few raw fruits that Zhou Zhou accidentally shook down when he was climbing the tree.
"This fruit is very sour before it's ripe. It just so happens that we are roasting all meat, which would be a bit greasy to eat like this. Adding a little bit of the acid in the fruit can neutralize it."
Meng Ziye seemed to have a lot of experience in making food taste better. Zhou Zhou immediately approached him to ask him how to cook various foods. The two people with similar interests immediately became familiar with each other.
In the dark jungle, several people sat around the fire, chatting while waiting for the food to be cooked. The atmosphere was very lively.
The other side wasn't so lucky.
After the five boys left, they soon found traces of a prey. While tracking the prey, they accidentally found a zero-horn beast. The attack power of the zero-horn beast was not high, but the points were very high and the meat was very delicious.
Field training does not require them to bring back all the prey. Instead, points will be automatically added after capturing or killing the prey specified in the manual, so they basically eat the prey themselves.
After seeing the zero-horn beast, several people immediately gave up tracking their previous prey and turned to capturing the zero-horn beast.
However, the reason why this animal has a high score despite its low attack power is because it escapes very quickly and has a high IQ.
When the Zero-Horned Beast discovered someone was following it, it immediately ran away. When everyone thought it was hopeless and were about to give up, it reappeared, swaggeringly stopping in front of a few boys, eating fresh grass leaves with its tail swinging back and forth leisurely.
When the few people caught up again, the Zero-Horned Beast would still walk around with them. When it was about to be caught up, it would run faster. When it found that the people behind could not keep up, it would stop to eat grass.
After being tricked several times, the freshmen finally realized that they had been tricked by an animal. They were furious but could not catch the zero-horned beast.
"What should we do now?" They had already run very far, and now not only could they not catch the Zero-Horned Beast, they couldn't even catch their prey for dinner.
Zhao Yijie looked at the zero-horned beast that was slowly walking in front of them again and said, "Give up. We can't catch it at our speed. Besides, it's dark now. The forest is very dangerous at night. The remaining few people are waiting for us to bring back food. Let's look for prey when we go back."
The five people walked back together. As confident as they were when they came, they were now as frustrated. No one spoke, but kept paying attention to the surroundings, trying to find some other animals.
Perhaps they were unlucky, as they only caught a rabbit on the way back. The rabbit was not very big and was not enough for ten people to eat.
"Let's just make do with it tonight and set out early tomorrow to find food." Zhao Yiji looked at the fire in the distance. They were about to reach the water source.
As they gradually approached their camp, the joyful laughter of boys and girls reached their ears.
Duan Yu was already in a bad mood because he got nothing that night. When he heard the laughter, his face instantly turned bad. He sneered, "Listen, we worked hard to find food outside, and they stayed by the fire and chatted. I thought they were out for a picnic. They are so lucky. Anyway, they still have the energy to chat and laugh. Don't share the rabbits with them. We will eat them ourselves. We will have to earn points for the next week."
Zhao Yijie frowned and said, "Stop talking. If we hadn't gone to catch the Zero-horned Beast ourselves, we would have come back with food long ago."
"We go to catch zero-horned beasts to get a better ranking, not to go out and play, unlike them." Another boy muttered.
There was only one rabbit, which was definitely not enough for ten people. Now they could only let those who worked harder eat more, and then set out early tomorrow to find food. Zhao Yiji had no other choice but to eat less when he returned and let the team members who went out with him eat more. After all, these people would be the main force for earning points later.
"Okay, I'll communicate with the others when I get back."
Duan Yu: “It should have been done earlier.”
The other two boys said nothing, but just looked at Duan Yu and Zhao Yiji with unclear expressions when they made the decision.
They had a good idea, but only after getting closer did they notice the aroma of food coming from the fire.
