Chapter 145: Players lead the U17 elimination team to fight...
“Hey, it smells so good…”
196 people gathered around the [Portable Stove Set] with the chicken and cat as the centerpiece, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
A warm atmosphere permeated the entire venue. Looking around, the common point was that everyone had a bowl of freshly baked, steaming white and thick bone soup in their hands!
Holding the edge of the bowl, Kintaro Toyama carefully followed the slurry as his eyes lit up. Then he inhaled it like a whirlwind the next second!
“Oh vaguely——!!”
"Oh vaguely-nice!!!"
It was simply impossible to control the speed of eating. Everyone slurped the food right next to their bowls. Some even finished their meal quickly without even looking up and shouted, "One more bowl!"
Looking at the scene before him, he no longer had the decisiveness and decisiveness that he had just used when he shouted, "Even if I starve to death, die outside, or jump from here, I will never eat a single bite from this brat."
The chicken cat was expressionless and diligent, constantly picking up bones from the ground and stuffing them into the [Portable Stove SET] with one click.
I diligently pulled back the NPCs whose stamina had dropped to the red line one by one.
And brushed up the favorability of the NPCs,
The sound of "ding ding dang dang" echoed in his ears, indicating the increasing favorability value. The player remained calm and continued to distribute the "Skull Soup" efficiently.
When you are exhausted, struggling, in dire straits, and completely exhausted, there is still a bowl of hot bone soup to drink. What a wonderful feeling it is!
"Alas... I don't know what good life the others are having right now..."
As they were drinking, a faint sigh suddenly came, and all who heard it couldn't help but imagine,
"I guess... there must be some high-quality steak to eat!" Toyama Kintaro wiped the saliva from his mouth.
"--Maybe there's dessert, like Yorkshire pudding..." Unable to control himself, Mukaito couldn't help but join in the conversation.
"So, they can now absolutely eat as much meat as they want?"
Tian Renzhihui gritted his teeth secretly and made a sound of envy.
The high school students in the U17 elimination group held their bowls and reminisced, "Yeah, yeah... Life in the U17 was tough, but the food was absolutely amazing..."
“…”
"Damn it, I'm a little jealous... Those guys are so lucky!!"
Everyone was silent, just holding the bowl in their hands and drinking bowl after bowl.
—Damn it, don't they look even more miserable in comparison?!
Not only do they have to fight these monsters beyond normal cognition, but even finding food is difficult. They have to use local materials, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on monsters to eat monsters.
Fortunately, this layer is made of skeletons, which can be used to make soup. If it were the slimes on the previous layer...
They all shuddered at the same time, and everyone was shocked.
At the same time, the hatred towards the members of the winning team who were probably enjoying themselves eating meat happily at the U17 training camp base was rapidly increasing!
"How can I repair it? If they can live a good life just by being bombed once, let them live that life for once!!"
“…”
"...It's been...how long..."
The voice came out slowly and dazedly, the vocal cords were hoarse, as if they had been torn and stretched beyond recognition.
Yukimura Seiichi, who had dug himself out of the ruins with great difficulty, well... now it might be more like Misfortune Village Seiichi,
He was so completely blown away by the bomb that he probably wouldn't even recognize the people from the Rikkai University elimination group standing in front of him.
My body instinctively pulled me out and turned left, heading straight for the 'Gui Juice Distribution Center'.
This action has been performed countless times within this day. No matter how badly you get beaten after catching the ball, the most important thing is to save your life.
"Ah," Saito, who was still helping and recording at the distribution counter, raised his eyebrows when he saw the figure slowly approaching.
"Is it... Yukimura-kun?"
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations, you're the first one to catch eight balls at the same time, and the fastest to reach today's goal. Really fast~"
The unfortunate village spirit looked at him slowly, was silent for a long time, and then reached out again to take the juice and drank it down with his head tilted back.
It was still difficult to resist Guizhi's deadly attack, and his face changed from black to white to green to yellow to red to colorful flashes.
Finally, it froze in a pale, almost bloodless color.
After barely regaining some strength and being able to regain the composure of the Minister of Rikkai University, Yukimura Seiichi spoke.
"Is that so? I thought... I missed another ball."
Saito Shi laughed, "No, no, no—Yukimura-kun, you were able to fully achieve your goal in the last round."
Yukimura Seiichi held back his anger and said, "Since we've already achieved our goal...then why did we get bombed just now?"
Saito Shizuka twisted his braid and said with a frank and hearty smile, "Well... because the student next to Yukimura-kun failed to catch it?"
Yukimura Seiichi: "?"
Saito Shi: "So luckily it flew in your direction, Yukimura-kun, and exploded!"
Yukimura Seiichi: "..."
Is this luck? This is clearly misfortune, right?
——This luck is given to you, do you want it? ! !
After admiring the rare expression of speechless purple-haired boy in front of him for a while, Saito glanced at the time and suddenly realized.
"Oh, has it come to this already?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yukimura Seiichi was startled and pressed his twitching eyelids.
I watched helplessly as Saito Shi pulled out a loud speaker from behind his back, "Hi hi - TESE! TEST! Can you hear me? Hello, hello, hello?"
After confirming that the sound from the loud speaker reached the entire venue, Saito finally felt relieved.
"To all students who are still taking on or have completed the challenge, now is the precious intermission time—"
As soon as these words came out, all the U17 high school students put down their bomb balls and stood still with their rackets in hand.
Seeing this, the people who had dug themselves out of the pit of the ruins with great difficulty finally got a chance to breathe. Kikumaru Eiji, who was already short on physical strength, fell directly to the ground, his face covered in dust and dirt, and he muttered in embarrassment,
"Great, really great... halftime..."
Akutagawa Jiro, a fellow sufferer, struggled and waved his hands, "I can't do it anymore... I want to sleep... I'm so sleepy zZZ..."
“Sizzle, s ...
“Sizzle-sizzle-sizzle-sizzle!!”
The sharp sound of the twisting electric wave beat violently on the eardrums, and the people who had just relaxed were immediately stimulated to the point that their eyelids twitched wildly.
I managed to pull myself together and turned around to see the culprit, Saito Shi, putting away his hand that was fiddling with the radio and smiling. Although he was no less than a devil in front of everyone,
The devil with an evil smile, Saito Michiru, was very considerate. "No, no, no, although it's halftime, it's not for you to rest~"
Eiji Kikumaru/Jirou Akutagawa/Junior high school student group: "...?"
Hey, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Saito Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong at all, and clapped his hands behind him.
A heavy shadow came out.
Looking again, it was Yukio Kurobe pushing a food cart!
"Man is iron and rice is steel. Only when you are full can you have the strength to continue to complete today's goals—"
Saito Shi smiled and lifted the white cloth on the dining car——
With a "crash", golden light shot straight into the sky!
Premium Beef Wellington, a drink from 1982, and a soft, crystal-clear pudding that rises and falls with the slightest shake.
There are other delicacies lined up and displayed in front of everyone.
Even the Ice Emperors who were used to seeing delicious food couldn't help but look sideways.
After all, putting aside other things, they played ball all day, going through fire and earth.
Although there is juice to keep me alive, the spiritual emptiness - at this moment, I need to make up for it with a good meal!
Wiping their mouths, Akutagawa Jiro and Golden Koharu were the first to lose control, "Then - we will be polite for now -"
Others followed closely behind, only a few school heads were still holding their feet, their intuition telling them that this matter was definitely not that simple.
"Pah,"
——As expected, Saito gave another high five, and Akutagawa and Golden Koharu, who were rushing towards the dining car, were stopped firmly.
The two struggled on the spot for a long time, not to mention getting closer, they were even being pulled further and further away.
The others were not much better off. The high school students who had just stopped fighting now formed a human wall, blocking the middle school students from the food.
Saito, who had just arrived belatedly, seemed to realize it only too late. He clenched his left fist and knocked his right palm.
"Oops—look at my memory, these foods are only for students who have completed the simultaneous return of the eight-ball, okay?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence.
All the junior high school students looked towards the four principals at the same time.
After Rikkai University's Yukimura Seiichi took the lead in achieving an eight-ball return, he was followed by—
Kunimitsu Tezuka of Seigaku, Keigo Atobe of Hyotei, and Kuranosuke Shiraishi of Shitenhoji also managed to break the eight-ball return mark!
Under everyone's gaze, the four school heads, with their expressions unclear, sensed some malice from U17.
At this time... using this method to alienate and divide them,
Everyone's emotions have been shaken after repeated mental and physical shocks, and if stimulated again, they may do something even more extreme.
What on earth are these U17 guys trying to do?!
"So—it's simple,"
Saito Shi showed a devilish smile, "As long as everyone can hit back eight balls at the same time, you can enjoy these delicacies."
"Otherwise, you'll just have to watch these four students feast on their food, okay?"
The four people who had no intention of feasting: "..."
Is it just this extent? Is this some conspiracy theory of theirs?
This U17...isn't that evil?
"Of course - for those students who still can't reach the eight-ball today, we won't let you starve."
The demon turned around, pushed out another food cart, stretched out his big hand, and directly peeled off the white cloth on it——
"Get excited! You can enjoy all-you-can-drink 'Gyu Juice'!!"
“…”
“…”
Saito spoke with great passion, but the listeners were silent for a while and then quietly dispersed.
Before dispersing, they looked deeply at the ministers of the four departments who had achieved the target.
Marui and Niou had complicated expressions, "Minister Yukimura...you must bring back our portion as well!"
Yukimura Seiichi suddenly felt a heavy burden fall from his shoulders: "..."
Similarly, this scene also happened in Qingxue, Hyotei, and Shitenhoji.
The four ministers looked at each other and confirmed their thoughts.
"No, leaving the team members behind and enjoying ourselves is not what we want," Yukimura said firmly and forcefully.
"I'm not that unglamorous. This is just food. My members are more important than these material possessions!"
Atobe Keigo's loyalty is online, he really follows a group,
Shiraishi Kuranosuke also maintained a calm expression and spoke slowly, "It's not just Minister Yukimura and Minister Atobe, this is also what Minister Tezuka and I think—"
Tezuka Kunimitsu held up the frame of his glasses, which had been blown off to the point of leaving only half the arm, and said in a deep voice, "—Don't be careless, go down!"
When the four people spoke, the junior high school students who thought that the situation was hopeless were stunned for a moment, but then they reacted and were deeply moved.
"Yukimura, Atobe, Tezuka, Shiraishi..."
"I'm so touched... You're actually willing to..."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole place was harmonious. The two looked at each other, full of resolute courage and touching warmth.
“…Hmm, you even anticipated this, you’re truly worthy of being the head coach…”
A light and quick whisper suddenly slipped past his ear, and Yukimura Seiichi's eyelids twitched when he noticed it.
The head coach anticipated... Kei wouldn't...
“—I’m so touched!!”
Saito's expression changed. He wiped his tears with one hand and picked up the loud speaker with the other. "Since everyone says so, then—"
All of a sudden, sensing a turn of events, the junior high school students couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in their hearts.
"——The four students who passed the test can also enjoy unlimited drinking of 'Gui Juice'!!"
"Let the high school students enjoy these delicacies! Thanks to the four qualified students for their donations."
Saito Shige urged, "Eat quickly—after you finish eating, you must work even harder to help the middle school students quickly reach the level of being able to return eight balls simultaneously."
“…”
“…”
Hey, why don't you play by the normal rules?
The high school students looked at the four people who stood there with a bitter smile, looking at them like idiots, and said, "Yes! Thank you very much!"
Turning around, whispering and mumbling sounded one after another,
"Are these four people idiots? They have food but refuse to eat... Stay away from them for now, be careful not to get infected..."
"I agree..."
“…I gave it to you for free.”
"Really, it was given away for free..."
The gaze that was mixed with a little envy, subtle yearning and jealousy in the previous second suddenly turned into pity and complexity.
The cooked steak flew away from my mouth, and not only did it fly away, I had to continue to pour "gui juice" on it.
I've seen people who couldn't get over it, but I've never seen anyone as depressed as this one.
Slowly approaching, Marui and Niou each put their hands on Yukimura's shoulders, "It's okay, Minister Yukimura, it's okay. If you're really upset..."
The two struggled for a moment, "We... can drink 'Gui Juice' with you."
Unfortunate Village Jingshi: "..."
This is really very righteous.
Yanagi Renji narrowed his eyes, looking at Marui and Niou who were shoulder to shoulder, and Yukimura who was shoulder to shoulder, his gaze slightly absent-minded.
"I wonder what's going on with Genichirō, Akaya, and the others..."
As soon as he said this, both Marui and Niou fell silent.
Yukimura took a deep breath. With Kei by Sanada and Akaya's side, he figured... at least, he wouldn't be hungry.
This is definitely much better than their current situation where they have to go through fire and earth and can only drink juice.
“…”
"Thinking about it... I really envy them, those guys who were eliminated..."
"If I had known this earlier, why, why bother... Alas!!"
A long sigh, finally, slowly turned into a sentence in the heart -
"I'm so envious of those guys..."
“—A-choo!”
Toyama Kintaro sneezed loudly. This time, not only him, but also Jack Kuwabara, Mukai Taketo, Ibu Shinji, and Higa Nakata Nakata Shihui,
The cat was right next to him, and Kirihara Akari couldn't come up with such a ridiculous thing as "Could it be that Kei is thinking about me?"
"...Could it be the guys from the winner's group?"
Oshitari Kenya, pinching his nose, doubted,
After all, sneezing so many times in quick succession was unusual no matter how you looked at it.
"Haha, those guys are definitely enjoying themselves right now. They only barely remember us during their free time. Who knows what they're doing right now!"
“…”
“………”
Just thinking about it makes me hard, my fists become hard,
This is outrageous to both humans and gods - outrageous! !
"--Quiet!"
Suddenly, a sound came from the front. Suddenly, everyone fell silent and looked over.
The voice came from Genichirō Sanada, who was leading the charge and holding a torch.
Under the flickering shadows of the firelight, Sanada's profile was serious and tense, even with an indescribable sense of vigilance.
Seeing this, everyone immediately followed the direction of his sight.
A faint pearly white shadow passed by, and a chill suddenly passed through.
It was so cold, as if the back of my neck was deeply immersed in a puddle of damp water, I literally gasped for air.
“What, what is that…?”
"I don't know, it shouldn't be... that thing..."
The voice was trembling, and even the energy in his body was completely dissipated. Although the skeletons on the previous layer and the slimes on the layer before that were beyond common sense,
But in the end, they are still material entities. If this thing is really what they think...
——How do we fight this?
The pace gradually slowed down, and the leader, Genichirō Sanada, felt extremely distressed at the moment.
Although there is no distinction between day and night inside the mine, according to Sanada's strict work schedule, it is definitely close to dawn.
At this delicate moment... it seems normal for something like this to appear...
But to have them face something like this—it's just not normal no matter how you think about it!!
A pearly white shadow flickered faintly at the end of the torch light, making it hard for everyone to grasp it.
Fear, in this ever-lengthening wait, expands to its maximum.
Tao Chengwu, who was also holding a torch in front, suddenly moved his ears and turned his head sharply in a certain direction.
"Why do I hear...some sounds?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air fell silent again, and everyone followed his lead, holding their breath and listening intently—
"SHI——"
“SHI——SHI——”
There was a rustling sound, like some kind of creature rubbing against the ground. Tao Chengwu tried to distinguish it for a while, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
"Could it be... a poisonous snake!!!"
He was shocked and then overjoyed, but the others who heard this were also shocked.
"Poison, poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous snake?!!!"
"No, why is there a poisonous snake here!!!"
"How can we fight this?! How can we fight this?!!!"
"Huh?"
Tao Chengwu was overjoyed when he saw that everyone behind him suddenly collapsed on the spot and scattered everywhere. He was bewildered and stretched out his hand.
"Eh, eh... No, not that poisonous snake, it's that poisonous snake..."
"Besides that venomous snake, what other venomous snake is there?! Just give up! We won't foolishly rush forward and take risks again!!"
“Courage is precious, but life is more precious!!!”
"That's right—that's it again, and the venomous snake again... Let's just retreat to the upper floor now!!!"
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and sensing something, Sanada Genichirō and everyone else turned their heads to look.
Once again, behind the black-haired boy who walked away nonchalantly while throwing the bomb ball with his hands in his pockets,
A complete collapse.
Genichiro Sanada: "..."
Others: “…”
The corner of his eye twitched, and Guan Yuechu forced himself to speak politely, "This kid... must be a spy sent by someone, right?"
“…”
"——How can you say that!!" Kirihara Akaya immediately responded without hesitation.
Fuji Yuta hesitated, "But..."
"——We don't allow you to say that about him!!"
Guan Yueyue/Fuji Yuuta: “…?”
This time, even Fudomine, Hyotei, Higachu, and Yamabuki looked at him in confusion.
The ones who spoke up—surprisingly—were the high school students!
At this moment, they are united and speak out together to protect,
"In short...he definitely has his reasons for doing this!!"
"Don't be ungrateful—he's definitely doing this to train us!"
"That's right, only by blowing up our retreat can we bravely move forward without fear of danger!"
"We must understand his painstaking efforts!! Don't be ungrateful!!!"
One is more passionate than the other, one is more surging than the other,
At first glance, it looks like the aura of Okinawan men who are ready to sacrifice their lives!
But this momentum suddenly appeared here,
No matter how you look at it, it's a little bit weird.
Facing everyone's subtle gazes, the high school students remained motionless.
After all - in order to protect the head coach, this is exactly what should be done!!
I firmly support all the actions of the head coach and all the decisions of the head coach.
——Guimen!!!
“…”
The middle school students looked at each other in confusion for a long time. Hirakoba Rin was puzzled.
"...Could it be that the bone soup just now was drugged?"
"But...we drank too?"
"...Are we going to end up like this soon..."
Seeing the blazing flames and unparalleled momentum behind the high school students,
The junior high school students shuddered in unison.
"No, let's not do that... It seems a bit scary."
Witnessing everything in silence, Sanada Genichirō finally felt tired.
...This feeling of being completely incompatible has never gone away.
Whenever a cat-and-mouse appears, it will definitely be like this...
The player blew up the retreat route and clicked to check the monsters on this floor.
...Oh, ghost?
Just in time - the player clicked on all NPC panels and scanned the five-dimensional graph values.
Now the NPCs' strength values are higher, and a small triangle is highlighted.
Now it's time to balance and practice control.
In that case, drive away the monsters with one click and start!
The cat scurried out with a whoosh, and when Genichirō Sanada caught a glimpse of the shadow from the corner of his eye, his eyelids twitched for some reason.
Still immersed in the sudden and intense abnormal performance of the high school students, everyone was hesitant to speak, but still respected and blessed them.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than others. As long as we unite as one and fight the enemy together, we can--"
"Then..."
My words got stuck, I couldn't say anything.
Because all I see is white.
The layers of white that should have been shaky and extremely thick stacked together actually gave off a solid effect.
Likewise, the hideous terror, the sharp roars, and the bone-chilling cold were multiplied several times, a hundred times more!
All of a sudden, everyone felt like they were falling into an ice cellar, their blood vessels were almost frozen.
The fingers holding the racket were frozen and stiff, unable to move at all.
Looking at the terrifying panorama of someone suddenly charging straight in the face and turning his head to kill him, even Genichirō Sanada, who was known to everyone as the most resolute and decisive—
The heart also crackles.
No more jumping.
“…”
"Hey...are we going to die again?"
"Ha, haha...it seems so!"
"——We're not going to die, at least be respectful and stop talking like you're going back home!!!"
