Chapter 294

After both teams left, Su Bei did not pretend to obey but walked slowly towards the roller coaster. It was really nice not to have to queue up in the amusement park. After walking through the winding corridors and stairs, Su Bei unexpectedly saw a little ugly guy.

After a second of hesitation, he suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder he didn't see the little chou that Gillam mentioned just now. It turned out that the little chou was in the ride!

Su Bei couldn't help but chuckle. This was really an accident. However, those guys who were focused on completing the competition would have to work hard to find Xiao Chou. He didn't think they would have nothing better to do and walk into the entertainment facilities.

Su Bei sent the news that Xiao Chou might be in the entertainment program to other people through the watch group chat, and then took the initiative to walk towards Xiao Chou. When he looked at Xiao Chou from a distance, he had a cheerful atmosphere. But when he got closer, he felt more and more weird.

White painted face, bloody sausage mouth, weird starry eyes... There is a reason why the little ugly guy appears as a horror element in so many horror movies.

Su Bei activated his supernatural power and looked at the opponent's head. There was a destiny compass on the opponent's head! This was good news for him. Before entering the illusion, Su Bei was actually a little worried that the nightmare beasts and attackable creatures in the illusion did not have a destiny compass. If they did not have it, he would only be able to rely on the gears to attack.

But when I think about it, when I was playing the game before, the characters controlled by the players in the game all had destiny compasses, not to mention these creatures in the fantasy world.

However, if this is the case, he will not be able to judge which nightmare beasts are created in Jiram's illusion and which nightmare beasts are real nightmare beasts. So he can just kill the nightmare beasts when he sees them, so that no matter whether the opponent is real or fake, it cannot hurt him.

But accurately identifying who is the real nightmare beast can effectively help Shangben determine the nightmare beasts' plans. After all, he only knows that they have plans both in and outside the game, but he doesn't know what the specific plans are.

"Dear child, Mr. Xiao Chou is at your service!" As soon as he walked in front of Xiao Chou, before Su Bei, who was thinking, could speak, Xiao Chou took the initiative to greet him passionately in a gorgeous male voice that sounded a little funny.

Su Bei blinked and did not ask whether he could play on the amusement facilities. Instead, he asked a serious question first: "Can my companions do the task I received here?"

"Of course you can. Since you're the first person to talk to me, I'll tell you a little news." Xiao Chou said with a smile, "The points you get for completing the task will not be reduced for any reason."

As soon as these words came out, Su Bei's eyebrows jumped. In this game, there are two possibilities for points to be reduced, one is voluntary gift, and the other is automatic halving upon death. Points earned by completing tasks will not be reduced, which means that these points cannot be voluntarily gifted and will not be lost upon death.

There is no doubt that the points gained from completing tasks are much better than those gained from destroying nightmare beasts or defeating players. I just don't know if these tasks are limited or can be transferred. If the answer to these two questions is yes, then there will undoubtedly be another bloody battle.

Thinking of this, he spoke without hesitation: "I want to take on a mission."

"Ambitious child, please take out your watch." Xiao Chou had a big smile on his face. He grabbed Su Bei's wrist with the watch and touched it to the machine next to him.

With a beep, a new task appeared on the watch.

“Mission: Please ride a roller coaster and destroy a nightmare beast while riding the roller coaster. (0/3)

Reward: 10 points, 1 chance to be shown as the first place winner"

The points are not many, but they won't be stolen. Normally, destroying a high-level nightmare beast will earn you 10 points, so it's actually quite a lot.

Add to that the fact that there is also a very important item for finding people in the later stages, and the rewards can be considered quite generous.

"What does the number after the mission mean?" Su Bei asked puzzledly, referring to the "(0/3)".

Xiao Chou answered dutifully: "There are only three chances to complete the mission. If you ride the roller coaster three times and still fail to complete the mission, then the mission will fail, and the entire team will not be able to take it again!"

So that's why it can't be completed all the time. Su Bei nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "If I complete the task, can I take it again? Also, how many people can complete the task you have in hand?"

Xiao Chou answered all these questions related to the competition honestly: "After completing a task, the same team cannot take it again. Only ten teams can complete each task."

It really still needs to be fought for. Whoever gets the information about where to find Xiao Chou to complete the task first can seize the opportunity and earn more fixed points as soon as possible. I am obviously the luckiest one among them, Su Bei.

He smiled and said, "Then I will start to complete my mission."

Xiao Chou took Su Bei to the roller coaster, helped him fasten his seat belt, and then operated the controller to start the roller coaster.

This is when the advantage of not being afraid of anything comes into play. Su Bei is not afraid of heights, ghosts or insects. Even on a high-speed roller coaster, he can observe the surroundings without changing his expression or heartbeat to find nightmare beasts.

Because the height of the roller coaster is high enough, if you want to destroy the nightmare beasts while riding the roller coaster, unless you are a long-range attack type psychic, the only ones you can destroy are the nightmare beasts on the roller coaster track.

However, after riding the roller coaster, Su Bei didn't even see the shadow of the nightmare beast. He did see several on the ground when he was high up, but the distance was too far, and it was difficult to control the gears to kill the opponent accurately.

Could it be that this mission can only be completed by a long-range attack type esper? This is not impossible. A team has five people in total. If the team is well configured, it is not difficult to find a long-range attack type esper. The organizer did not require whoever accepts the mission to complete it.

But Su Bei still wanted to try it again. If it didn't work, he would pull other people over to try it for the third time. If the four people were to sit on the roller coaster together, someone would always be able to complete the task.

But before trying, he had to think in advance about where the Nightmare Beast might appear.

The opponent did not appear in the open, either it was a mid-level or higher nightmare beast with the ability to hide, or it was hiding in a corner that could not be found at first glance.

From the time he got on the car to the time the car flew into the air and then landed, the entire journey was spent on the track. When he was riding the roller coaster just now, he deliberately released his mental power to cover the track, and he did not see any nightmare beasts on it. He even used his supernatural powers, but he did not see the destiny compass.

That could only mean that the nightmare beast was hiding in an unexpected place, a place that he couldn't see with his naked eyes, and therefore couldn't see the Compass of Destiny.

Where is this place on this roller coaster?

Two possibilities suddenly flashed through Su Bei's mind. The first possibility was that it was inside the roller coaster track, that is, inside the hollow tube. The second possibility was that it was inside the roller coaster he was riding.

If it was the first possibility, then Su Bei could only accept defeat. He really didn't have the power to cut the steel track, and even if he did, he couldn't cut the track while riding a roller coaster. Wouldn't that be courting death?

And if it was the second case - Su Bei sat on the roller coaster again, but he did not let Mr. Xiao Chou start the roller coaster immediately. Instead, he checked the car up and down first.

Soon he saw what he wanted to see, and after confirming that his judgment was correct, he showed a little satisfaction in his eyes: "We can start now."

As soon as the roller coaster started, Su Bei, who was sitting in the front row of the entire roller coaster, opened the drawer under the steering wheel. An intermediate bird-like nightmare beast immediately jumped out and launched an attack.

This bird-like nightmare beast has a great advantage in mid-air, especially on a roller coaster. Many superpowers would be frightened and make mistakes in a hurry. But Su Bei was obviously not one of them. A "hit gear" was fired and the nightmare beast died on the spot.

Su Bei looked down at his watch and saw that the task had been completed automatically. Ten points were credited to his account. These were ten points for fixed assets, and they were not only displayed on the upper half of the watch's main interface, but also in parentheses next to them, apparently to distinguish between fixed points and other points.

As for the "Show first place once" item, it has become a button, lying quietly on the main interface of the watch. Click it to display it.

After successfully completing the task, he relaxed and enjoyed the roller coaster happily. Although he is not afraid of heights, roller coasters are something that can stimulate people's adrenaline, and even people who are not afraid will feel excited.

Best of all, it's a thrill without the danger.

After getting off the roller coaster, Su Bei posted all the information he had just received on the group chat. When Jiang Tianming and others saw the points, they knew that he had completed the task, so they kept watching their watches and waiting for his feedback.

When the message was received, the group immediately became lively.

[Lan Subing: So our first priority now is to take over Xiao Chou’s mission]

[Si Zhaohua: Since there is a limit on the number of missions, it is definitely better to accept them as soon as possible. Later on, the major mission entrances may be directly guarded by teams from other academies.]

【Jiang Tianming: Then collect the “tickets”】

[Wu Mingbai: Once they complete their mission, we can eliminate them.]

[Si Zhaohua replied to Wu Mingbai:

If they decide to do so, the "tickets" will definitely be designed to be very expensive, in order to squeeze the opponent to the maximum extent.】

【Lan Subing replied to Si Zhaohua:

Of course, although all points are equal, given the nature of fixed points not being lost, if you want to complete a mission controlled by the university, you will definitely have to pay a price far exceeding ten ordinary points.]

[Su Bei: Aren’t the three of you together? Why can’t you communicate face to face?]

[Su Bei: You are here giving advice to other schools, but you will behave yourself when they ask to see your chat records]

【Si Zhaohua: ……】

【Lan Subing: ……】

【Wu Mingbai: ……】

【Jiang Tianming: ……】

[Jiang Tianming: I forgot, is there a way to clear the chat history?]

【Su Bei: ...upper right corner.】

After this roller coaster ride, Su Bei did not continue. The amusement park was so big that he certainly could not waste too much time on one project, which would be a sheer waste of resources.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the roller coaster, Su Bei was surrounded by a group of people. One of them, probably the leader, said with a smile: "I saw you riding the roller coaster from a distance. Tell me, have you received any mission?"

"Is it possible that I just want to have fun?" Su Bei looked at the unfamiliar school badge and was speechless.

Although their sophomores and juniors were wiped out, and only a group of freshmen came to participate in the competition. But as students of the "Infinite Power Academy", after all, a skinny camel is stronger than a horse, so it is not possible to be threatened by a player from an unknown school.

There were many colleges participating in the second competition. Teacher Li had introduced many of them to them before the competition began. He also showed them the school emblems of several schools so that they would not accidentally compete with those strong schools.

Teacher Li introduced a total of 30 colleges and showed the school badges of a total of 40. With such a wide range of coverage, those who were not introduced by Teacher Li can be said to be the soft persimmons among the soft persimmons in this competition.

The school emblem of the college in front of him was like this, and Su Bei had never seen it before.

Although they intend to treat the enemy as weak in the early stages of this round, this does not mean that they will be submissive to everyone. It is okay to pretend when facing a tiger, but if they pretend to be so when facing a mouse, it would be a bit fake.

The people on the opposite side obviously didn't notice Su Bei's murderous intentions, and they were still arrogant: "Who would believe it? I think you are treating us like fools! The main force of your academy was wiped out. In my opinion, you should just quit. You will definitely not get good grades anyway. Besides, our great 'Infinite Ability Academy' doesn't need to win this competition, right?"

The last sentence he said was extremely sinister, but it was hard to hide the jealousy in his eyes. Su Bei immediately understood why he was making things difficult for himself. It turned out that he was jealous of the strength of the "Infinite Power Academy".

But he knew clearly how powerful the "Infinite Power Academy" was, so why did he think that the first-year student sent by their academy as a backup was weak?

"Don't waste your words on him, Boss. We don't know when this guy's teammate will come. Let's eliminate him first." A team member behind him couldn't help but remind him. He was worried that when the teammate from Su Bei came, there would be too many people and they wouldn't even be able to beat the first grade. That would be too embarrassing.

The captain also had this concern, and nodded: "Okay, let me do it--"

Before he could finish his words, a gear flew out of Su Bei's hand and cut his neck.

Blood gushed out immediately. The captain covered his neck with a pale face, his eyes full of panic, and he asked for help in a hoarse voice: "Quick! Treat!"

The team in the group battle was naturally equipped with medical equipment. A chubby boy turned his wrist and a herb appeared on his palm. He squeezed the herb to make juice and smeared it on the captain's neck, and the blood that kept flowing out was stopped immediately.

Only then did everyone have time to look at Su Bei again. Su Bei looked nonchalant, as if he didn't think he had done anything excessive: "Although I don't mind being eliminated, it's still a bit too embarrassing to be eliminated by you guys."

The missile he just fired was the "Hit Gear". He was originally worried that the captain would have some defensive means to dodge it in time, but it turned out that he was overthinking it and felt like he was wasting his skills.

The reason why he was not killed directly was mainly because he was worried that the others would be killed. Although he should be able to eliminate these five people by himself, it would be too conspicuous. It would be no problem to defeat one easily.

"You!" The captain covered his neck with one hand and stared at Su Bei in anger.

Su Bei was a little impatient: "Do you want to continue?"

It was impossible to continue. Su Bei didn't want to play anymore, but they still wanted to play. Their college was already bad, and this time they finally squeezed into the top 50%. If they couldn't get the top 10, they had to get the top 30 at least. If they lost members at the beginning, they could just give up the competition.

Originally, the captain and several team members thought that Su Bei was just a high school freshman who was just there to make up the numbers. There was only one person in the group, so how strong could he be? They also wanted to use the title of "Infinite Ability Academy" to promote themselves.

But after one attack, all of them became quiet. I don't know if Su Bei is strong, but it's definitely easy to deal with them.

If they are kicked out quickly because of some meaningless provocation, their class teacher will scold them to death after they are kicked out.

There was no intention to talk to Su Bei, and the few people turned around and were about to leave. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded: "Are you allowed to leave?"

Of course, the one who was familiar with the voice was Su Bei. He raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and saw the familiar black and white cow cat: "Elvis"

Elvis glanced at him with his two-colored eyes, and then looked at the people opposite Su Bei: "Bullying the weak, right? Now you have become the weak ones."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guys behind him rushed forward in perfect harmony and knocked the enemy to the ground at an extremely fast speed. Then a wood-type mutant tied them all up with vines.

Su Bei, a "weakling of a generation", was a little amused and asked the guy next to him: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Elvis snorted and said meaningfully, "You have a good temper."

He knew Su Bei's strength. Even though the opposing team was able to participate in the second match, the speed at which they were defeated was probably due to sheer luck, and they didn't have much strength. Even so, Su Bei was no problem to defeat five people alone.

Hearing him say this, Su Bei casually released five gears, each of which accurately cut a person's neck: "Are you a little more angry now?"

However, after saying this, his brows suddenly frowned.

Noticing his expression change, Elvis asked curiously: "What did you find?"

Su Bei thought about it and did not answer the question: "I'm going to continue playing. I advise you to let these people go. There is no need to reduce the number of players in the early stage, especially when these people are so weak, it is even more unnecessary."

The reason why Su Bei persuaded the other party to release the person was not because he wanted to repay evil with kindness, but because he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. Even if this discovery was not certain yet, Su Bei had to stop Elvis's actions.

The persuasive words were what the crew chief had said to the braided captain just now, and now they have successfully persuaded the team of "Alpha Superpower High School". The captain of the team looked at Elvis and said, "Let's go, we still have to look for Xiao Chou."

Elvis didn't answer immediately, but stared at Su Bei. He was sure that Su Bei had just discovered something, but he knew that he couldn't ask: "Tell me what you just found, and we will let you go."

Although the two are friends in private, they have no friends on the court and he has to be responsible for his team.

However, how could Su Bei be the kind of person who would accept threats? Facing an old friend who knew some of his strength, he shrugged nonchalantly: "If you are not afraid of layoffs, you don't have to let me go."

As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of the shod. In this game, his character does not mind being eliminated. If that is the case, he can just act tougher. Anyway, those who know his strength should know that even if he dies, he can at least take a few people with him. And for those who do not know his strength, it is easy for the Destiny System to show its strength.

Apparently, this threat was intimidating enough. The captain coughed behind him, reminding Elvis not to really annoy Su Bei. Although she didn't know Su Bei's strength, she knew Elvis's. Someone who could be respected by the arrogant Elvis must be very powerful.

Hearing the cough, Elvis withdrew his gaze and ignored Su Bei: "Let's go."

After they left, Su Bei's face suddenly darkened. He came to a secluded corner, cleared out the nightmare beasts there, then summoned a gear and slashed it at his arm.

A stinging sensation came, and a bleeding wound immediately appeared on Su Bei's arm.

Looking at the wound, his brows furrowed even more. It was because the feeling of being injured was too real, so real that he began to doubt that this was not an illusion.

He felt something was wrong because the feeling of the gears cutting his skin was too real.

As mentioned before, Su Bei's advanced mental power is an absolute nemesis of any illusion-type supernatural power. Li Shu's illusion can hardly fool him, but an illusion master like Jiram can make him feel as if he is actually there. However, since he already knows that this is just an illusion, with his advanced mental power, he can still tear off the illusion a little.

However, even though he focused all his mental energy on his arm, he could not see the falsity of his wound.

If I remember correctly, before they came in, the host said that everything they were experiencing now was an illusion perceived by the mind, and in fact the body was just standing there and would not suffer any harm.

How come his hand is so real that even his advanced mental power can't detect the slightest bit of fake damage?

Is it that Gillam's illusion is far superior to that of ordinary people, or is there something wrong with this illusion?

If it was the latter... even Su Bei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. You know, their mission is to eliminate all opponents! If everyone in this illusion is their real body, then eliminating the opponent means actually killing them, right?

Su Bei suddenly thought of what the Calabash Nightmare Beast had said at that time. It said that the best way to avoid being affected was to win the game.

This answer was completely in line with his guess. Those who didn't win would die, so only those who won could return safely. But the victors weren't much better off. Having killed so many superpowers, even if they didn't leave a deep psychological shadow, they would be overwhelmed by the overwhelming insults and blame from the relatives and friends of the deceased.

What a vicious plan!
