Chapter 150: Simulated Warfare Does Not Have to Be All About Fighting and Killing

The club ranking simulation battle also has scores, which are called ranking points.

The winner scores points, the loser loses points.

After accumulating a certain number of points, you can launch an irresistible club ranking simulation battle against those senior clubs. The winner will advance and the loser will be demoted. This is the so-called promotion competition.

…

Inside the battlefield.

"Food defense war? We are the defenders. Hmm, it seems like we are at a disadvantage."

This time the battlefield was a rice field. There was a village behind the Spicy Spicy Group, but the village was just a background, a wall at the edge of the battlefield, and could not be entered.

In other words, the village is just a picture.

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and said, "This is already a bit of a loss, President.

First of all, this is our first time participating in a mock battle. Secondly, there are 20 people on the other side and we only have 18... This is not a bit of a disadvantage, this is too much of a disadvantage!"

Ji Ruo scratched his head and said, "It's not that serious. The goal of this battle is not to kill the enemy. If two people are missing, it won't have much impact, right?"

There is actually not much difference between club ranking battles and ordinary mock battles.

The battlefields, combat methods, battlefield missions, etc. of the two modes are not fixed.

For example, the mission of Ji Ruo and others in this scene is to guard enough food for the "village" behind them within the specified time.

Their opponents are a group of "monsters" living underground. Of course, those monsters are played by their opponents.

In this simulated battle, the condition for winning is not how many people each side kills on the other side, but to defend or plunder enough food within the specified time.

As for why it is not a simple competition, the school explained that everyone will encounter many situations in the future and it is impossible for all battles to be fair.

Sometimes, there doesn't even have to be a fight.

Simulated battlefields exist for this very reason.

Allow students to experience more diverse combat forms as much as possible under the premise of safety.

…

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and said, "But if we don't have enough people, we definitely won't be able to defend it. The rice is almost ripe and as high as our chests. If those guys hide in the rice fields and plunder quietly, it will be difficult for us to even find them!"

After the simulated battlefield was upgraded, the number of people that could be accommodated in a simulated battle increased a lot. In order to allow all club members to participate, Ji Ruo chose a 20-person field specification.

The other side must be full, but here, there are only eighteen people.

When others wanted to say something, Liang Shixian said directly, "Forget it, since we are here, we should make the best of it and try to keep the food.

Everyone, please tell me about your own martial arts proficiency, and I will make the personnel allocation. We must protect as much food as possible... Although all of this is a simulation, please take it seriously.

Assuming that this battle really happened, if we had not secured enough food, many people in the village behind us would have starved to death.

So no matter whether we can win or not, we must take this battle seriously and go all out. "ωωw.cascoo

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense, and they told Liang Shixian the martial arts they were good at, waiting for Liang Shixian to make personnel assignments.

If Ji Ruo did not participate, he came to the rice field and observed it carefully, stretched out his hand to pinch it, and then turned his head to look at the village that existed in the form of the 'background'.

There are a few trees at the entrance of the village, and their leaves have turned yellow.

“I said it wasn’t that difficult.”

Ji Ruo smiled, raised his hand and pulled out the wooden stick on his back, swung his hand and swung out a sword energy. Suddenly, large pieces of rice stalks were cut into pieces by the sword energy and fell to the ground.

Qu Fei had been secretly paying attention to Ji Ruo, and was shocked when he saw this.

"What are you doing? Even if your chances of winning are low, you don't have to give up!"

Upon hearing this, the people who were in the process of personnel assignment turned around.

So they were all confused.

"President! Even if there is little hope of winning, you can't do this!"

Their mission is to protect, while the other side's mission is to destroy!

What is this doing?

Ji Ruo said as he wielded his sword: "The mission doesn't say that we have to protect the crops only if they grow in the fields, right? 'Stir-fried Pork with Green Peppers' also said that we are few in number and the protection area is so large that it is almost impossible to completely protect it with normal means. So I think we can harvest the crops for the village first. I see that the crops are almost ripe..."

"But……"

"Hey, let's give it a try. Aren't simulated battlefields used for testing?" Ji Ruo said, "Just like what the squad leader said, if this 'scene' really exists and this situation really happened, then why didn't those 'monsters' living underground come to cause trouble before? They must also want to eat the ripe food!

If they can harvest, why can't we?

You have to learn to think from other people’s perspectives!”

Everyone was stunned.

Even Liang Shixian was a little confused.

They felt that what Ji Ruo said did make sense.

"It seems to make sense..."

"It makes sense, so why don't you come and help? If I'm wrong, then this battle will end soon and we will lose. But if I'm right, we can collect the food first, and it will be much easier for us to defend...Huh? There's a cave here? Those 'monsters' should have come out of these caves, right? My good man, if we defend normally, we may not be able to defend it."

Everyone looked at each other, and then quickly began to help collect the rice stalks that Ji Ruo had chopped off with his sword.

…

Underground.

"Haha, what good luck, it's actually a plunder battle!" A 'rat man' whose appearance was changed by the rules of the simulated battlefield laughed: "We have the blessing of simulated talent and the home advantage, so we don't have to win? After this game, our points are almost enough to advance. I can even foresee the scene of 'D-level promotion'!"

"Don't be careless. Let's get familiar with the situation in the cave first. The mission requires us to loot more than 70% of the food in two hours to win. Let's get familiar with the cave first, and then fight a guerrilla war with them."

"Yeah, I think so too."

After a brief discussion, the twenty "rat men" moved quickly through the cave.

As the plundering party, they were divided into the "Monster" camp by the battlefield rules, and this mission will be carried out as "Monsters".

And since it is a monster, it naturally has special talents.

The simulation talent they obtained allows them to see normally and breathe freely in the darkness underground, and they can also gain a significant movement speed bonus when traveling underground.

Even after leaving the underground, they were able to use their talents to move the hole on the ground!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is a sure win.

Twenty minutes later——

The Ratmen gather again.

"We have checked it out. We have already dug a hole through the ground. There are 20 exits to the ground, one for each of us. Now let's check the time——"

A 'rat man' who seemed to be the president held up his watch.

"After three minutes, we will get out of the cave together and start looting at the same time. No matter how much we get, we will leave immediately and move to another cave entrance at the same time. Don't stop.

Killing the enemy is not the main purpose, stealing food is."

"Received!"*19

The president nodded and said, "Then let's get started. Once we get the food, we must bring it back to the 'nest' as soon as possible... Wait, what does this smell like?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, which was a bit pungent.

…

On the ground.

If Ji Ruo had the achievement buff, he would be able to chop rice stalks extremely quickly!

In pursuit of efficiency, Ji Ruo even used sword energy.

The remaining seventeen members of the Spicy and Spicy Group were busy with anxiety. They were all worried that they would be judged as failures in the simulated battlefield for no apparent reason.

But after Ji Ruo had cut down more than 60% of the rice stalks, there was still no notification on the simulated battlefield, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Ji Ruo's idea is right.

With everyone working together, it only took about seven minutes to gather the entire rice field to the village entrance.

On the bare ground, there are twenty holes with a diameter of half a meter scattered everywhere, which is very eye-catching.

Xu Dong sighed and said, "I finally know why you are the top scorer. How did you come up with this idea? Why can't I think of it?"

The mission rules are there, they only say to guard, but they don't say how to guard.

Everyone subconsciously believes that only when food grows well in the ground can it be considered protected...

Liang Shixian also said: "Since this is not against the rules, now we just need to defend this pile of food. The twenty holes are still a short distance away from here, and they are so obvious, the defensive pressure is greatly reduced!"

"Do you think this is the end?" Ji Ruo asked with a smile.

Xu Dong was stunned for a moment: "Is it not over yet? Now we just need to guard this pile of food, and each person just needs to keep an eye on one cave entrance according to the distance.

Although there are two holes that cannot be watched all the time, the distance between the two holes is not close, so there is no need to watch them all the time..."

"Eh, even if we don't watch it, it can't be wasted."

Ji Ruojiang picked up a bunch of rice stalks and knocked down the rice ears, saying, "It's troublesome to keep watching them. If they don't come out, don't we have to wait for another two hours?

We must learn to make full use of our own conditions. We can obviously end the battle quickly.

A simulated battle doesn’t necessarily mean fighting and killing, you also need to learn to use your brain.”

"What are you going to do, President?"

Ji Ruo answered irrelevantly: "The people on the other side are all seniors, but they are only at the Qi and Veins realm. If the two of us guard one cave entrance, can we hold it?"

"able……"

"That's easy."

Then everyone saw that Ji Ruo held a large pile of rice stalks, rubbed them with his iron sand palm, and then stuffed the burning rice stalks into the hole...

The rice stalks were mature and yellow, and had a little moisture. Once they were ignited, thick smoke immediately billowed out!

"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and deal with the rice stalks! You can tell they've never been used to farm before. You need to burn the fields after the harvest so that the soil's fertility doesn't decrease."

Everyone: “???”

Under the leadership of Ji Ruo, the members of the Wuxiang Mala Group knocked down the rice ears from all the rice stalks, then held the rice stalks and waited for Ji Ruo to light them, and then stuffed the lit rice stalks into eleven caves that were relatively far away.

Because they contain moisture, the rice stalks do not burn very quickly, but once they are ignited, thick smoke billows.

After a simple distribution, the 18-member Wuxiang Spicy Group formed groups of two to guard the remaining nine cave entrances.

After a while, Ji Ruo looked at the wisps of green smoke coming out of the cave in front of him and said with a smile: "Sure enough, these caves are connected underneath. Just wait... Hey, it's coming out."

“Cough cough cough!!!”

A 'rat man' coughed loudly and crawled out of the hole.

"Hello, classmate!"

Ji Ruo was quick with his hands and eyes, and slapped down with an iron sand palm.

"Goodbye, classmates!"

The 'rat man's' head suddenly shattered, he died on the spot, and his body disappeared instantly.

On the other side, a 'rat man' also came out coughing from the cave guarded by 'Fried Rice with Egg' and 'Red Braised Pork'. Unlike Ji Ruo who had participated in a simulated battle before and was more measured in his attack, they did not kill the 'rat man' all at once, but just beat the 'rat man' back into the cave.

“It’s fun!”

Both of them were a little excited, squatting at the entrance of the cave waiting for the 'rat man' to appear again.

The others followed suit, squatting beside the nine holes with excitement, waiting for the 'rat man' to appear with a cough, and then they would hit him with a few big pouches.

The damage is not great, but it is extremely insulting.

Ji Ruo laughed loudly: "Everyone, they are no longer seniors now, they are 'monsters'. We don't need to talk to them about martial arts spirit, just two against one! Beat them up!"

The smoke in the cave became thicker and thicker, and even those "ratmen" with their simulation talents could not endure it.

All planning and caution were gone.

With tears on their faces, they tried to crawl out of the hole.

But what greeted them was a bunch of big assholes...

"Despicable! Too despicable!" The president of Rat Man had just been slapped back by Xu Dong. The thick smoke made him burst into tears and he shouted angrily: "How can you burn fire and smoke to block the entrance of a cave?

You are so despicable!"

"Come on, you are 'monsters'." Xu Dong said cheerfully: "Our president said that this is called strategy! There is no need to talk about martial arts spirit when dealing with you 'monsters'!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Cough cough cough cough..."

The smoke in the cave became thicker and thicker, and the Rat Man president felt that his eyes were about to be blinded by the smoke.

The nineteen "rat men" were so choked by the thick smoke that they were crying and snotting, feeling extremely aggrieved.

They had never fought such a frustrating simulated battle!

"Boss, let's fight them! I can't stand it anymore!" a 'rat man' cried.

It’s not that he wanted to cry, but he really couldn’t help it!

"Not yet. Now that we have the talent for simulation, it won't take long for us to adapt to the thick smoke.

Even though they are waiting for us at the cave entrances now, they must be feeling uncomfortable from the smoke. If there are two people waiting at one cave entrance, that means there are still ten cave entrances that are completely unguarded. They can’t guard them completely. All we have to do is…”

The Rat Man president hadn't finished speaking yet.

Outside the cave, Ji Ruo saw that the enemies were showing up less and less frequently, and he knew that these guys must be trying hard to adapt to the thick smoke. He thought, how can this be possible?

So Ji Ruo lay down at the entrance of the cave and used the Lion's Roar Technique.

Qi and blood gathered in the throat, condensing the sound into a line, and then bursting out -

"Classmates, come and say it with me: Congratulations to the Spicy Spicy Group for winning the first battle!!!"

The space in the cave is limited, and the rolling sound waves are like substance, spreading wildly in the interconnected cave.

The echoes intertwined and overlapped, becoming more and more terrifying.

The eardrums of the remaining 19 "rat men" were instantly shattered by the terrifying sound waves, and the strong tinnitus made it impossible for everyone to remain calm.

“Ahhhh!”

They couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out of the cave frantically, but were knocked back by the members of the Spicy Spicy Group who had already treated this simulated battle as a game of 'Whack-a-Mole'.

No one is trying to kill anyone, they are just enjoying the fun of playing whack-a-mole.

"How can there be such a nasty club! Let us out if you dare! One on one!"

Xu Dong kicked the head of the Rat Man's president, who had just emerged, and kicked him back, laughing: "I am the Spicy Spicy Group, the Fireworks of the World: Stir-fried Pork with Green Peppers, who dares to fight me!"
