Chapter 380
Liu Qingqing restrained her expression and pointed casually as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go here. There's a river nearby. At least we don't have to worry about food and drinking water by the river."
Mu Jiuyue nodded and agreed obediently.
Soon, the person in charge of leading and directing them gave an order, and everyone rushed towards the place marked on the map.
Liu Qingqing and the others were naturally no exception. The area covered by the map was actually quite large, including large areas of forests, plains and other places.
The place they were going to now was a stream next to the forest not far away.
It didn't take long before they arrived at the stream. Looking at the clear water, Mu Jiuyue felt the urge to drink a sip to quench his thirst.
However, just as he was about to squat down and scoop up some water, Liu Qingqing stopped him.
Mu Jiuyue was a little confused. He was about to ask why, but the next moment Liu Qingqing pointed to the stream in front of him and asked him to take a closer look.
Mu Jiuyue looked at the stream hesitantly, and soon he found his target. He saw something black in the stream, but he didn't know what it was.
Adhering to the principle of safety first, Mu Jiuyue stood up first. He picked up a stone and threw it into the stream. Liu Qingqing immediately pulled him back.
Mu Jiuyue fell on his butt and squatted. He covered his butt and raised his head with his eyes almost popping out.
He saw a particularly large mutant fish opening its bloody mouth right where he had just stood, and the next moment the mutant fish dived into the water again.
Judging from the situation, Mu Jiuyue could guess that if Liu Qingqing had not pulled him back just now, half of his body would have been in the big fish's mouth.
Mu Jiuyue stood up tremblingly and bowed gratefully in the direction of Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing didn't say anything else. She picked up a small knife in her hand and stood in front of the lake, looking down.
Mu Jiuyue pulled her sleeve and tried to pull her back:
"Boss, it's too dangerous down there. Let's get away from here!"
Liu Qingqing couldn't help but shook her head when she looked at Mu Jiuyue in front of her. Mu Jiuyue's blood ran cold when she saw this.
What does that mean? Is Liu Qingqing disappointed in him?
Everyone on the Star Network watched this scene and discussed:
"I'm not saying this, but Mu Jiuyue is too timid. It's just an A-rank mutant fish. If a small beast like that can scare him, then he's not fit to be a Space Marine!"
I agree. I can't imagine what would happen if such a coward stood before us and protected us one day...
[Hahaha, if one day they were ordered by their superiors to hold the defense line, would Mu Jiuyue be so scared that she would turn around and run away?]
"I think it's very possible. If someone like this can still serve as a soldier, then the alliance is in jeopardy!"
"I say... what's wrong with the audience this time? They're just a bunch of beginners, right? Why are we expecting so much from them?"
[Everyone goes through a process of adaptation from being uncomfortable! One day, Mu Jiuyue will adapt, and he'll be able to stand on the battlefield and protect us ordinary people. That's already great!]
"That's right. Furthermore, Mu Jiuyue is just a young master who's only been in school for a few years and hasn't seen much bloodshed. He's just studying pharmacy. The same standards you hold him to for a mecha soldier are a bit too harsh."
It's no wonder that people have such big differences. Many of the people who come to watch Liu Qingqing are accustomed to bloody fights, and it's somewhat depressing for them to watch this kind of rookie-level competition.
They were used to analyzing a soldier's combat power and combat methods whenever they saw one, but they completely forgot that the group of people they were watching were just rookies.
Mu Jiuyue felt cold all over. He really couldn't imagine how sad he would be if Liu Qingqing disliked him.
Fortunately, Liu Qingqing just sighed. She really didn't mean to dislike Mu Jiuyue. She just felt that Mu Jiuyue's previous living environment was too clean!
It is indeed not suitable for someone like him to be a warrior. He can obviously live a smooth life relying on his family connections. Even being a playboy is better than facing a group of alien beasts or star beasts and other threats in the future.
"Relax, you'll get used to it after a few more experiences, so don't take it too seriously! But please don't be afraid or back down, you always need to see more of the world!"
As Liu Qingqing spoke, she turned around and stood at the edge of the river. Mu Jiuyue looked at Liu Qingqing's back this time. She seemed to always bring infinite strength and courage to people.
Finally, Mu Jiuyue gritted her teeth and stood by the river with Liu Qingqing.
His legs were obviously still shaking, he was scared!
But even so, Mu Jiuyue still gritted her teeth and persisted, showing no intention of backing down.
His behavior actually aroused the audience's favor, and they also reflected that they seemed to be too strict with them.
From this perspective, this group of people does not seem to be without merit!
The other three people were originally standing at the back, but after hearing what Liu Qingqing said, they all wanted to stand at the edge of the stream.
Liu Qingqing waved her hand with amusement and asked them to leave:
"I'm standing here because I have the confidence to face it. You guys should just forget it. There might be some trouble, so you guys should just stay back!"
Zhong Chuannan, one of the mecha soldiers, waved his hand when he heard this and asked the others to retreat first.
"The boss has said everything, so we should just listen and not cause any trouble for him!"
Another mecha soldier, Yuan Lang, thought this made sense and nodded, mumbling:
"Indeed, our strength isn't that great to begin with, so we should stop holding the boss back!"
Hearing this, Lan Yanping, the mecha soldier, coughed quickly and signaled Yuan Lang to shut up!
Their original strength was indeed not that great, but what if Liu Qingqing looked down on them after they said it so openly?
In fact, Lan Yanping always had a feeling that Liu Qingqing had no idea of their strength and was deceived by Mu Jiuyue into joining their team!
Otherwise, according to Liu Qingqing's ability, why not choose any other strong team, but choose them?
Yuen Long saw what he meant but still said honestly:
"What's wrong with telling him? The boss will find out sooner or later, and it's not fair for us to keep it a secret!
It's better to speak out sooner rather than later, so that the boss doesn't misjudge our strength and become the one holding us back!"
Liu Qingqing looked at the group of people in front of her and sighed:
"Alright, I already knew you weren't that strong. You should just evacuate now! Otherwise, what will you do if you get into danger?"
Everyone else was stunned for a moment. No one asked Liu Qingqing how she knew this. They all took a few steps back obediently.
Liu Qingqing gripped the hilt of the knife tightly in her hand, watching the dark shadows moving underground.
She seized the opportunity, pulled out the knife, and thrust it into the water with all her strength. Then the water began to roll violently, as if water had fallen into a frying pan, crackling and jumping non-stop.
It gradually stopped after a while. When Liu Qingqing raised the knife, both Mu Jiuyue and others who were present and the people who were watching the Star Network all looked at the tip of Liu Qingqing's knife in some surprise.
There was a mutant fish stuck there at the moment, which was about as long as an arm and as thick as a bucket.
Suddenly everyone fell silent.
Even though this mutant fish isn't even S-rank yet, it's still an A-rank after all! How could it be killed so easily?
At this moment, some people who couldn't stand it were even thinking about the possibility of reporting Liu Qingqing.
They want to report that someone is cheating in the test for junior novices!
Thanks to "Seventh Prince" for the reward, I will add another chapter!
Let's just say today was incredible. My learning app has been around for two years, and it's been clicked over 147,000 times. That means I need over 200 clicks a day to reach that number. So this is about to strip me clean!
Please, I would really appreciate it!!! I don’t love studying that much, and it’s impossible for me to live in Xuexitong!
