Chapter 293

Next, he said to Wu Mingbai: "Basic superpowers like the elemental system must have been trained in every academy. You didn't have special training for superpowers in your first year of high school, but you will have it in your second year. So if you want to use superpowers on people, it's best to use some unexpected tricks."

Wu knew clearly that what Teacher Li said was right. Their elemental powers were indeed poorly researched. Unless one's ability was strong enough to defeat ten others with one force, it would take more effort to defeat others.

"As for you, Su Bing, you can use [Word Spirit] frequently in front of others in the early stage, but the power must be weak. They don't know the power of your ability. As a freshman in high school, no one will doubt you even if your ability is weak, but it will make them let down their guard."

After giving her instructions, Teacher Li continued without stopping, "The same goes for you, Tianming. If you have multiple abilities, just use a few of them."

Finally, she looked at Su Bei and said, "I want to hear what you think, whether to live with them or go it alone."

Because they wanted to show weakness to the enemy, they had to stick together at the beginning. After all, I have never seen a weak team split up, wouldn't that be pure suicide? As the one holding everyone's points, Su Bei had more options.

Even if others knew that he had all the team's points, they would not immediately attack Jiang Tianming and the others just because they were useless. On the one hand, they were kept to clean up the nightmare beasts, and on the other hand, they could be used to lure Su Bei to appear in the later stage.

"Go alone." Su Bei answered without hesitation. He certainly didn't want to go with others.

Although he can encounter events and understand the plot faster when he acts with the protagonist group, he will also face many dangers. It is different if he goes alone. With his willpower, even without the invisibility talisman, he will not face too much danger when he goes alone. Instead, he can take a break and have a general view of the situation.

Teacher Li nodded and said, "Then what you need to do is to find a way to let others know the reason for your trip alone, and don't let them think that you have any hidden cards in your hand. If they think you are a threat, if they can't find you, they will definitely attack other people in our school first."

Hearing this, Su Bei replied thoughtfully: "I understand."

Teacher Li's words did remind him that he couldn't just hide, he had to make a presence. Although the protagonists would definitely not be wiped out because of him, he might be found out because of the jealousy of others!

Without the help of the invisibility charm, even if Su Bei had the best luck, he couldn't escape the pursuit of others. You know, tracking abilities are not uncommon, and if they really wanted to catch him, Su Bei might not be able to escape.

After explaining the precautions to everyone, Teacher Li had nothing else to say. After thinking for a while, she looked at Qi Huang, the only one who would not participate in the competition: "You voluntarily gave up the opportunity to participate in this competition. The academy will compensate you. You should know my special ability, [Teaching and Learning] can help you learn new skills faster. If you don't mind, come find me when you return to the academy."

"Thank you, teacher!" Qi Huang was surprised when she said that. You know, the skills learned from Teacher Li's "Teaching and Learning Together" can be quickly absorbed and mastered, saving a lot of time for adjustment. It can be said to be the best teaching method.

Because of the pressure of teaching two grades at the same time, the option of asking the head teacher to assist in teaching, which could have been redeemed from the points store, was no longer available. This opportunity was in high demand, so she was naturally very excited.

After Teacher Li left, Jiang Tianming stepped forward and said, "Let's discuss how to make others relax their guard and think that we are not a threat."

Hearing this, Wu smiled knowingly: "That's my area of ​​expertise."

The next day, the remaining fifty or so teams stood neatly in the center of the venue, and the host on the stage was announcing the rules of the second competition.

It is worth mentioning that in order to win, you have to eliminate all the other college players. Elimination here means "killing" the opponent in a physical sense, but of course no player will really die. After they enter the illusion, their bodies don't need to move, and all they use is consciousness. In a sense, it is equivalent to a holographic game.

Su Bei and others who already knew the rules in advance were also forced to pretend to be listening carefully. There were many people watching them, so they had to pretend.

It was no secret that all the regular players of the "Infinite Power Academy" were poisoned, and only five first-year reserve players could play. Although the Sesbia government deliberately concealed this matter, the incident happened in a crowded hotel restaurant, and the "Infinite Power Academy" was the favorite to win the championship, so it was bound to attract attention. Other academies knew what happened after a little inquiry.

After learning that the new players were a group of freshmen, everyone assumed that the "Infinite Power Academy" had given up on the competition. The reason they sent the freshmen to play was just to give them a practice.

But even though they thought so, when they showed up in front of everyone, everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances. Not just out of curiosity, but more of observation.

Because Su Bei and the others had fought in individual battles before, people who followed the "Infinite Power Academy" were not completely unfamiliar with them. In individual battles, their opponents were generally quite different in strength, and their full strength could not be seen. But the strength of these first-year superpowers was indeed seen.

Therefore, although I don’t think those first-year students can cause any trouble, I still remain vigilant towards them.

Under their gaze, Si Zhaohua had a serious face, looking very solemn. Lan Subiao lowered his head and hid behind others, his body trembling slightly. Su Bei looked nonchalant, with a kind of beauty that was more about participation.

In a sense, the three of them are all acting as themselves, and Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai, who are both great actors, deliberately acted nervous, afraid and a little excited, portraying to perfection how they were given a mission in a critical moment, knowing that they had no chance of winning but still couldn't help but feel lucky.

People who followed them didn't think they were acting, they just thought they were young and couldn't hide their emotions. After seeing their performances, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If they don't have confidence, just be afraid. It's easy to see that they are just trying to rush into something and there is no chance of winning. If they all act calm and confident, then others will start to worry.

After the rules were explained, a dark-skinned foreigner came out. He was Gillam, the illusion maker for the second game. Gillam waved his hand, and an illusion resembling a water mirror appeared on the playground.

The scene in the mirror was shocking; it turned out to be an amusement park! There were roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and bungee jumping machines, and they had to complete the competition in the amusement park.

This is undoubtedly a very novel map. Su Bei and his team have been to many fantasy worlds before, but they are usually based on a city map. The map usually only has various buildings, which are not very useful except as shelters. There are very few maps with such high entertainment value.

"Isn't it a little too small?" Lan Subing muttered softly. Even though he was trembling in a crowded environment, he was still able to speak after a school year of training. The trembling was purely a subconscious reaction.

Su Bei also felt that it was too small, more than 50 teams, nearly 200 people. It sounds like this number is not much, a larger amusement park can accommodate 1,000 to 2,000 people at the same time.

But the problem is that these 200 people are not here for fun, and most battles require ample space. Besides, the nightmare beasts should be counted as people in a sense. If the nightmare beasts are added, the space is really a bit insufficient. We can't let them compete with a nightmare beast every two steps and an enemy every three steps.

"The amusement park in the competition will definitely be bigger than usual." Wu Mingliang shook his head, "Besides, if it's an amusement park, the space in the air must also be considered as an area."

The amusement park map is quite suitable for playing in the air, whether it is fighting on a roller coaster, on a flying carousel, or on a jumping machine...

Of course, the premise is that the amusement park has no electricity. If it has electricity, it's another story. At least Si Zhaohua can't use his supernatural powers on a high-speed roller coaster. Although he is not afraid of heights, he has never done such a dangerous thing.

Many people were whispering in the arena, but it was not strange because the audience in the audience seats were also whispering. Gillam did not want to explain too much, he clapped his hands and said loudly: "There is a little clown in a doll costume in the amusement park. The players need to find the little clown to take on tasks. After completing the tasks, they can receive rewards. Please do not hurt our lovely staff. There will be punishment if you hurt them!"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Gillam announced the start of the competition. Everyone walked into the water mirror in an orderly manner, as if they had naturally arrived at the amusement park. It was a seamless transition without any abrupt feeling. The master of illusion was well-known for his skills. If they encountered him normally, they might not realize that they had unknowingly entered the illusion.

When arriving at a new environment, the first task is to observe the surroundings. Su Bei took a quick look around and found that he was in a haunted house. Jiang Tianming and others were next to him, and it seemed that each group could be teleported together at the beginning.

"This haunted house... is quite big." Lan Subing looked up at the seven or eight meter high roof and exclaimed sincerely. Usually haunted houses are stacked up, but it is impossible to judge the size of a house in one place. But the roof of this haunted house is so high, it is obvious that the area must be quite large. If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to spend some time here.

Jiang Tianming frowned slightly: "With such a big ghost, there may be more than one team in the house. Even if there are no other teams, there must be nightmare beasts."

It is true. Many nightmare beasts like darker environments. Moreover, a haunted house is a good place to hide and attack people unexpectedly. The organizer must have arranged for nightmare beasts to hide there. If you are lucky, some low-level nightmare beasts will appear here. If you are unlucky, high-level nightmare beasts may appear here.

And most importantly, if there are other contestants here, they will either be timid and not give their all, or they will have to eliminate their opponents in time, which is equivalent to killing them.

"It's better to... fight with caution," Wu Mingbai suggested. God knows how many teams are here. If they cause jealousy among others, they will easily be the first to be eliminated.

Jiang Tianming nodded: "I have no objection, what about you?"

The other three also shook their heads: "No opinion."

Although some of them are militants, they are still very clear about when to fight and when not to fight. Besides, there is no rush to fight, and the real skill is to survive to the end.

After shaking his head, Su Bei stretched his waist and was about to say something when he suddenly felt the extra weight on his wrist. Before he could raise his eyes, Jiang Tianming suddenly said in surprise: "Look, these should be points watches on our hands."

Everyone followed his words and looked down, and indeed saw the extra watch on their wrist. The watch was black, and the display did not show the time, but some buttons and numbers.

A "0" occupies the upper half of the watch, which should represent their personal points. There are three buttons in the lower half, the first one is "Team Group Chat", the second one is "Point Exchange", and the third one is "Task Information".

Everyone lowered their heads to study the buttons and clicked into the "Team Group Chat", which was an interface that could only be used for voice input. There were only five of them in the group, and they could add or remove members.

Everyone sent a message and found that each person's name was a string of numbers, which was equivalent to their ID in this competition.

Next, let's look at the "points exchange" function. Just enter the other party's ID and you can transfer the points you want to transfer to the other party. Undoubtedly, this is good news. They can transfer points remotely, so Su Bei doesn't need to regularly find other people to meet and collect points.

The last mission information button is blank. Su Bei guessed that it was because they hadn't accepted the mission yet. Once they accepted the mission, the panel would change.

After learning about all the functions on the watch, Su Bei said goodbye decisively: "I'll leave first. Please contact the watch if you need anything."

"If you encounter danger, don't forget to call us." Si Zhaohua reminded him while looking at his back. Otherwise, he felt that Su Bei would not encounter danger, but walking alone would always be more dangerous than the four of them walking together.

Su Bei didn't look back, but waved his hands as if he understood.

Just as Lan Subing said before, this haunted house is really big. Su Bei walked for a long time but couldn't find the exit, but he did discover something on the way. First of all, the playground outside should be real and playable. All the small decorations that suddenly pop out and scare people in the haunted house can work, so there is no reason why the ones outside can't be played.

But it is true, this is a fantasy created by Gillam, and everything that happens in the fantasy is reasonable. The amusement park where you can play in real life aroused Su Bei's long-lost interest. He really hasn't been to an amusement park for a long time. The last time was when he was in elementary school.

The original reason for going on my own was no longer necessary. I saw that there was no chance of getting good grades in the "Infinite Ability Academy", so I decided to go on a fantasy tour.

Thinking this way, Su Bei relied on his great luck to walk out of the haunted house. Finally seeing the light of day again, he stood where he was and observed the scene outside.

It was similar to what I saw in the mirror before the game started. The whole playground was colorful and full of childish fun. In the distance, I could see two teams facing each other. It was bad luck for both teams to end up in the same place at the beginning.

The supernatural has good eyesight. As soon as Su Bei appeared, the two teams noticed him. They didn't want to fight now, so they tacitly stopped fighting and came together to find trouble with Su Bei.

Su Bei showed no fear and walked forward confidently. He had just looked around the amusement park and had already chosen his target, and walked straight to the roller coaster that was not too far away from him.

"Hey, you...are you from the 'Infinite Power Academy'? Why are you outside alone?" Perhaps because she knew Su Bei was a freshman in high school, the girl with the braided hair in the lead didn't speak in a too aggressive tone.

Su Bei replied lazily, "I had a quarrel with my teammates."

Hearing this, the girl's face flashed with suspicion, and she didn't believe what he said. The captain of the other team with a buzz cut directly questioned: "What a mess! Why are you making a mess as soon as you came in?"

"We had conflicts after we were selected to participate in the second match yesterday. I felt that we couldn't beat anyone anyway, so there was no need to take it so seriously. But they..." At this point, his expression looked helpless and indifferent, "They didn't agree with my philosophy."

Why do they have different ideas? Of course they still want to fight seriously! Several people showed clear eyes, this is indeed a contradiction worth making a fuss about. And Su Bei is now walking alone, obviously with the idea of ​​​​showing off.

Captain Mahua Braid's expression was a little complicated. On the one hand, as an enemy, she agreed with Su Bei's choice. Just put it on the table and save them the trouble. But on the other hand, if she were in Su Bei's position, she would definitely choose to finish the game seriously like his other teammates, instead of putting it on like Su Bei did.

Thinking of this, the captain of the Mahua Braid took a fighting stance and said, "Then I will just send you out. This will satisfy your wish."

"Hey wait!" Before Su Bei could say anything, the crew chief stopped her and said, "I think it would be better to keep him."

"Why?" Captain Mahuafan asked puzzledly.

The crew chief calmly explained, "If you kill him now, you will only get five points. These points are useless. But if you raise him, he will encounter nightmare beasts during this period of time. Wouldn't it be better to kill him when you have more points?"

As soon as this was said, the Mahua team leader immediately understood. This was to "raise pigs" and wait until they were fattened before slaughtering them. There was indeed some truth to it. In their eyes, Subei was a lamb to be slaughtered, and they could kill it for meat at any time.

But she still had a question: "But how do you know we can meet him again in the future? What if he is killed by someone else after being fattened up? Then we will be doing wedding clothes for others in vain."

"What does it matter?" The crew chief shrugged. "Anyway, if you want to win in the end, you have to eliminate the others. If someone else eliminates him, you can just eliminate that person. If he stays, he will be a fighting force for the Nightmare Beast, but he will be an ATM for us."

After thinking for a moment, Captain Mahuafen had to admit that he was right and nodded immediately: "Okay then, we'll spare his life."

While they were talking, Su Bei stood there bored, looking very natural, as if he had no idea that they were discussing his life or death. This also increased the trust between the two teams. Su Bei didn't look like someone with lofty ambitions, and didn't care about his own life or death.

But in reality, Su Bei still cares. If he doesn't have a separate mission, he doesn't mind being eliminated at the beginning. Anyway, there are plots inside and outside the game, so there is no need to insist on being with the protagonists.

But the problem is that he now has a mission to save everyone's points and survive to the end. If he has accepted the mission but fails to complete it, it will be a serious ooc for him.

So even though he appears calm on the surface, he is actually thinking of a countermeasure in his heart.

What the crew chief just said was one of the reasons he came up with to save himself.

In addition to this, there is also the pitiful selling method, which is to say with a dejected look on your face that you haven't been to an amusement park for a long time since your father passed away, and you originally wanted to have a good time in this amusement park where there is no queue.

There is a high probability that the other party will agree. They are still students, and most of them are a little soft-hearted. Besides, Su Bei does not pose any threat.

The third method is to say that if I am eliminated at the beginning, even if I rush to the stage, I will definitely be scolded when I return to the academy. So I hope they can keep me for a little longer. After they agree, I will find a way to slip away.

There is always one way out of the three. Fortunately, there was no commotion, and the crew chief persuaded the captain with the braided braid to do it.

Seeing that they had no intention of continuing the conversation, Su Bei asked, "Have you guys agreed? Can I leave now?"

"What are you going to do next?" Captain Mahua asked curiously. She originally thought that Su Bei would ask for death. But Su Bei didn't do that. While she was curious, she also felt a little alert. Could it be that Su Bei was just lying and didn't really want to die?

Captain Mahuafen didn't want to let the tiger go because of a momentary weakness. Although she didn't think Su Bei could be called a "tiger", she was always prepared for the worst. If Su Bei really saved the "Endless Ability Academy" in the end, and she let him go now, she would be furious.

Su Bei pointed at the roller coaster not far away that hadn't started yet: "It's rare to come across an amusement park where you don't have to queue up, so of course I have to have a good time!"

This touched the hearts of several people, and many of them showed excitement in their eyes. A girl whispered to the captain of the Mahua Braid: "Anyway, there is no point in killing people in the early stage, why don't we also..."

"No." Although the captain was also tempted, he still refused decisively. "If you play on these amusement facilities and get spotted, it will be difficult to get off. He is not afraid of being eliminated, so are you?"

After successfully dispelling his teammates' thoughts, Captain Mahuafen looked back at Su Bei and said, "If you have nothing to do, why don't you kill more nightmare beasts? It will be worth it for us to let you go."

After that, she led the team away, and had no intention of "renewing the relationship" with the crew chief's team or continuing the confrontation. As that team member just said, killing people in the early stage is meaningless, it is better to kill more nightmare beasts.

The principle of fattening them up before slaughtering them applies not only to northern Jiangsu, but also to others.
