Chapter 32
Seeing that there were no new questions for the time being, Meng Huai talked about the second competition: "Next, let's talk about the team battle. The team battle is for three to six people to form a team freely, and there must be students from at least two classes. It is important to note that a class A student must team up with at least one class F student. There cannot be a bug where two class A students team up with one class F student."
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. When they heard the first half of the story, they had already quickly come up with a perfunctory method of forming a team with Class A and Class F. But they didn't expect that the school would actually ban it in advance. This was indeed good news for the students in Class F.
"The final result of the team battle is the total score of the team divided by the number of people, and then an average score is obtained for comparison. So a group of three will not suffer a loss compared to a group of six."
"That's not right," a classmate immediately questioned, "No matter how you think about it, having more people means more advantage."
Hearing this, Meng Huai sneered: "You spoke without raising your hand, so stand at the back!"
After the unfortunate student stood at the back with a frustrated look on his face, he explained the problem just now: "There are advantages to having more people, and there are advantages to having fewer people. If you have more people, you can't guarantee that there won't be one or two people who drag the team down. When the scores are announced, the average score of each person may be lower than that of the three-person team."
After saying this, Meng Huai seemed a little annoyed, and wanted to sit on the chair next to the podium table: "The specific details of the competition should be posted on the official website of the campus tonight, you can just check it out for yourselves. I only have one request——"
He deliberately dragged out his words for two seconds, waiting for everyone's attention to be fully drawn, before continuing: "In individual battles, I allow you to fail, even in the first round. But in team battles, if you appear in the bottom five teams in your grade, then after the monthly exam, you will receive personal training from me."
"How about it? Are you touched?"
Dare not move, dare not move.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Meng Huai smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, you have a week to form teams. On Friday, send the team leader to hand over the list to the grade director. If you haven't formed a team by then, you will be automatically assigned to the group with other people who haven't formed a team yet. Dismissed!"
As soon as the last word fell, the voice of "Comic Consciousness" sounded: "The King of Superpowers has been updated, please pay attention to it."
Hearing about the comic update, Su Bei's eyes flashed with joy. He was afraid that the comic would have to wait until the competition started to update, then his previous plan would be too late. The mental strength would have to wait until the team battle to improve, and the individual battle would directly destroy the character.
Fortunately, the old thief was good enough and the comic has been updated. So the only thing to worry about now is whether the author has drawn the part he wanted.
Just when Su Bei was worried, Jiang Tianming came over and said, "We agreed before that we will form teams for the monthly exam. I plan to form a team of six people, you, me, Lan Subing, Wu Mingbai, and Mu Tieren. The last one, let's ask Mo Xiaotian if he can come. What do you think?"
"Sure. Once you've assembled your team, just let me know the final roster."
Su Bei nodded on the surface, but in his heart he was asking "Comic Consciousness": "If I hadn't participated, who would have been the sixth man in this team?"
To be honest, he was actually quite worried that he was taking someone else's place. He couldn't justify letting a character lose an important opportunity to appear, or even that the other person might not appear again in the future.
If there really is such a role that he has occupied, then Su Bei might choose to team up with the protagonists. He thought clearly that it didn't matter, he could team up with Feng Lan.
If nothing unexpected happens, Feng Lan will join Si Zhaohua's team. It's not bad for me to join a villain team.
"Manga Consciousness" didn't know that he actually wanted to give up teaming up with the protagonists, and answered honestly: "Originally, the manga set up a team of 3 to 5 people for this monthly exam, but because of the addition of you, it became 3 to 6 people."
"Eh!" This was an answer Su Bei had not expected. "Did I change the setting of the comic?"
"Not really." "Comic Consciousness" denied this statement, "This section is set up by the participants of the previous round of searching for the murderer to form a team together. This is because the comic originally only had five people searching for the murderer together, so the setting was 3-5 people. Now there are six people, so the setting becomes 3 to 6 people."
So that's how it is, Su Bei suddenly realized. If that's the case, then he's relieved. Although it's good to join the villain team, it's not as good as joining the protagonist team.
After finding out the truth, he did not waste any more time and hurried back to the dormitory.
After opening the app, Su Bei skipped the previous plot without thinking. It was not until he saw Jiang Tianming getting up early and getting ready to go to the classroom that he breathed a sigh of relief, his purple eyes full of smiles: "It seems that my bet was right."
"Comic Consciousness" was also convinced: "Congratulations."
After making sure that he found the content he wanted, Su Bei relaxed and lazily flipped through the pages.
[Jiang Tianming got up early as usual. Just as he walked to the classroom door, he suddenly heard someone say "Just in time to test the distance." The next second, he saw with his own eyes a piece of chalk flying straight from the podium to the back of the classroom.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianming stood still alertly, and then he heard the voice inside continue to say: "Sure enough, it's still a bit difficult to do this kind of thing when you just become a senior."
The comic shows his heartbeat next to his head - "This sound is Su Bei"
Then Su Bei asked loudly, "Who is outside?" Jiang Tianming tiptoed and hid in the corner as quickly as possible. After waiting for a long time, he walked into the classroom with the next student. 】
The barrage was very exciting.
"Oh my god, this skill has nothing to do with fate!"
"Su Bei still has this trick up his sleeve
"What does 'just become advanced' mean? Advanced Psychic"
"Jiang Tianming didn't move outside, how did Su Bei know he was outside?"
[The plot continues, Jiang Tianming tells Lan Subing about this incident, and the two of them secretly observe Su Bei together. This section uses several split shots to show that Su Bei is in a bad mood and drowsy all day.
When Lan Subing saw him go to the teacher of the spiritual power enhancement class to ask questions after class, she asked in a low voice: "He can do that, is it related to spiritual power?"
The two hit it off immediately, and took Wu Mingbai to the library after school. Soon they found a book about advanced psychic powers. From it, they learned about the two characteristics of advanced psychic powers - the ability to manipulate psychic power to take objects from a distance and keen senses.
Jiang Tianming immediately confirmed their guess: "Su Bei has just become a high-level psychic!"】
Seeing this, Su Bei didn't plan to waste any more time and immediately opened the forum, where there were indeed several posts about him.
"Su Bei is actually a high-level psychic. What other secrets does he have?"
"Su Bei is so awesome! I love you so much!"
《The group battle is stable!》
Seeing that the entire forum was completely convinced that he was a high-level psychic, Su Bei excitedly snapped his fingers: "Sure! 'Comic consciousness' do you know when the author will update the comic next time? Tell me, this should not be against the rules, right?"
"Manga Consciousness" hesitated for a moment: "...Okay, the next update should be on the second day of your individual battle. On the third and fourth days, it will be released together with the group battle."
Although Su Bei's most desired result was to update the next comic before the start of the individual battle, he also knew that would be too mediocre. Although this result was not the best, as long as he could hold on for the first two days, it would not affect anything.
Just click on the post about team battles.
《The team battle is stable!》
[Flying Female Cockroach No. 0: A [Death Summoning] ability, a [Word Spirit], Wu Mingbai's [Earth Element] and Mo Xiaotian's air cube are all very easy to catch by surprise. Now with Su Bei's mysteriously high mental power, the team battle is stable!
I feel like this monthly exam is trying to reveal the secrets of the Iron Man. At the moment, his body enhancement ability doesn't seem to be a good match for this team. (I don't mean to dislike him)】
[No.1: Hahahahahaha the OP’s name!]
[No.2: I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t told me, hahahahahahaha]
[No.3: The protagonist will definitely win the team battle. I feel that this time the main purpose is to let everyone know the abilities of the team members. Not just the wooden iron man. You know, we still don’t know the names of Su Bei and Mo Xiaotian’s abilities.]
【No.4 replied to No.3:
Yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn’t told me.]
[No.5: I thought they would team up with Feng Lan. Sigh, I won’t see the handsome guy with white hair anymore.]
[No.6: The three from Class A (Si Zhaohua, Ai Baozhu, and Zhou Kaixuan) will definitely face off against Tianming and his team. Since all three of them are from Class A, they still need three from Class F to team up with them. I guess Feng Lan will join their team.]
【No.7 replied to No.6:
!!!!!!!】
【No.8 replied to No.6:
Oh my god, I hadn't thought of this if you hadn't told me. Feng Lan will definitely join that team. 】
[No.9: I don’t know which two people in Class F will team up with them.]
[No.10: It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, it should be Jiang Tianming versus his boss Zhaohua, Lan Subing versus Ai Baozhu, Wu Mingbai versus Zhou Kaixuan, Su Bei versus Feng Lan, and the remaining two versus the unknown. It's quite exciting.]
[No.11 replied to No.10: I’m already looking forward to it!]
【……】
Seeing the content of the sixth post in this thread, Su Bei raised his eyebrows. He really hadn't thought about this matter just now. After the other party reminded him, Su Bei immediately started to think about it.
Yes, the other party is right. According to the rules, the three students from Class A must team up with the three students from Class F to avoid breaking the rules. So besides Feng Lan, which two students from Class F will join Si Zhaohua's team?
Suddenly, he thought of two names - Zhao Xiaoyu and Wu Jin.
It's no wonder that he thought of these two people, because they really have a great chance of joining Si Zhaohua's team.
Si Zhaohua and the other two are proud and arrogant. Although they have to accept the three people from Class F due to the rules, they will never take the other people from Class F seriously except Feng Lan who knows their background.
In that case, it doesn't matter to them who they choose.
Zhao Xiaoyu is a smart person. If she saw Si Zhaohua and his team looking for Feng Lan, she would probably take the initiative to bring someone to recommend herself. The reason why she wanted to bring someone was, of course, to save trouble for Si Zhaohua and his team, so that they could gather all the candidates at once.
In this case, the choice of person to lead is also very important. Zhao Xiaoyu is not a girl who is content with the status quo and just wants to be led by others. Her best choice is to lead someone who will not steal her limelight.
Obviously, Wu Jin, who has a very low presence, is a good choice.
It is worth mentioning that Su Bei seriously suspected that Wu Jin's ability was [Low Presence]. Otherwise, how could he be so easily ignored when he was paying special attention to him?
In the evening, Su Bei received a team list from Lan Subing, as well as a friend recommendation request. He then remembered that he had not added Jiang Tianming as a friend. Not to mention Jiang Tianming, Feng Lan had not added him as a friend either.
It's not that he didn't want to or had any concerns, but mainly because he didn't need it on a daily basis. They were all students living in the same school and class, so if there was anything, they would just talk to each other face to face. They were usually busy with exercise and study, so they didn't have time to chat.
After adding Jiang Tianming as a friend, Su Bei clicked into the grade group. This group was created at the beginning of the school year, and it was quite lively, with people chatting frequently.
Su Bei had a small account in the group. Looking at the administrator in the group whose nickname was "Superpower Academy Campus Wall", he directly added the other party with the small account.
Most of the students were playing with their phones at this time, so Campus Wall quickly approved his friend request. Su Bei tapped the keys quickly and asked the question he wanted to know directly.
[Cement Sealed Heart: Is there any information about the first-year students with super powers?]
[The wall of the Superpower Academy: Dear, please be savvy! I have all the information you need here. It all depends on whether you have enough points to buy it.]
[The wall of the superpower school: cat wink.jpg]
[Cement Sealed Heart: How many points does the information I want cost?]
[The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy: This information is divided into classes. Class A is worth 500 points, Class B is worth 100 points, Class C is worth 50 points, and Class D is worth 40 points. If you buy enough information for two classes, I can give you the information about Class F for free.]
[Cement Sealed Heart: Then I don’t want any news about Class F. Can you give the first few classes a lower price?]
[The wall of the supernatural school: Hahaha, excuse me.jpg]
[The wall of the supernatural school: It’s not that good, dear. ]
[Cement Sealed Heart: Is your information guaranteed to be accurate?]
[The wall of the supernatural school: I have a special channel to get these inside information, at least the information is the same as their enrollment registration. ]
[Cement Sealed Heart: How to pay? I don’t want to reveal my identity. 】
[The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy: Dear, you can be anonymous on the official website. 】
Northern Jiangsu:
He really didn't know the news, so he quickly logged in to take a look, and sure enough, he found the anonymous option in the settings of his personal homepage.
[Cement Sealed Heart: I want the ones from Class C and Class D. ]
It's not that he values Class C and Class D, but he can only afford to buy information about these two classes. If he chooses to buy Class B, not only will he not be able to get information about Class F, but he will also have a chance of getting a car accident two days before the individual battle.
As long as he doesn't fail in the two days before the battle, he will have completed his minimum mission and at least his character will not be ruined.
Moreover, Su Bei really needs the supernatural data of Class F. First, he needs to use the supernatural data of Class F to judge the accuracy of the campus wall data. Second, he wants to get a better understanding of the situation of his classmates.
[School Wall of the School of Supernatural Powers: OK~ Search for "School Wall" on the official website, pay 90 points, and then take a screenshot and send it to me!]
【The wall of the superpower school: paste.jpg】
[The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy: By the way, do you need any more information about Class F?]
【Cement sealing: required. 】
[The wall of the supernatural school: Okay~]
After all the formalities were completed, "The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy" sent three compressed files to Su Bei in one breath as promised.
[The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy: Class C Superpower Information.docx]
[The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy: Class D Superpower Information.docx]
[The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy: Class F Superpower Information.docx]
[The Campus Wall of the Superpower Academy: It’s a pleasure to work with you, dear. We look forward to your next visit!]
[The wall of the supernatural school: cat bowing.jpg]
Looking at these three files, Su Bei thought for a moment and opened the information about Class F first. As expected, the list of students in Class F, their photos, and their abilities were all listed. Among them, Su Bei's ability record was:
[Gear]: Can create gears (suspected to have predictive abilities)
Jiang Tianming's subsequent introduction is a complete question mark.
After reading the information, Su Bei nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the accuracy of the information was quite high and it was not false. He took a special look at Wu Jin's ability. The other party's ability was called [Silence is Silence], which meant that his presence was low when he didn't speak.
Su Bei: "..."
It must be said that this ability is quite suitable for Lan Subing. If she could have an ability that would allow her to not have to speak, she would probably be so happy.
Speaking of Lan Subing, Su Bei suddenly remembered another thing and immediately chatted with her privately.
【East, South, West: Are you there? Do you need any information?】
[Silent and Passionate 66: Cat Peeks.jpg]
[Silent and Passionate 66: What information?]
[East, South, West: Class C and Class D's supernatural intelligence, highly accurate.]
[Silent and Passionate 66: How did you get this thing?]
【Dongnanxi: I have found a channel. Just tell me whether you want it or not. I want to sell it to someone to make some money. I sell it for points.】
[Silent and Passionate 66: Yes, yes, yes! How many points?]
[Dongnanxi: It depends on whether you want to buy it or not. If you buy it, you will get 60 points. If you don’t buy it and don’t pass the information to others, you will get 20 points.]
[Silent and Passionate 66: Are you still planning to sell it to Tianming and Mingbai?]
【East, South, West: Of course.】
[Silent and Passionate 66: I bought it for 50 points. Can I only tell Tianming and Mingbai?]
Seeing this proposal, Su Bei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
【Dongnanxi: Sure, give me the points.】
Lan Subing did not doubt the truth of his words and quickly gave him 50 points. Su Bei also sent her the information as promised.
Then he opened the official website to check the latest public news, which was the monthly exam information.
The teacher has already mentioned most of the other content, but there is a small part that was not mentioned, such as killing is not allowed in this monthly exam. Of course, this is common sense.
In addition, there is a referee in individual battles, and in certain situations the referee will actively determine that one side has failed, such as when one side's attack is close to our vital points.
The group battle takes place in a secret place controlled by the school, where nightmare beasts roam. Each student has a watch on their head, and pressing the button on the watch will immediately send them out of the secret place. But that's all, the specific gameplay of the group battle has not been announced yet.
Finally, there are the monthly exam rewards. The first place in the individual battle can get 1,000 points, the second place is 700 points, the third place is 500 points, the 4th-10th place is 200 points, the 10th-20th place is 100 points, the 20th-50th place is 50 points each, and the rest receive no rewards.
The team that wins first place in the team battle will receive 500 points for each member, and the MVP of the team will receive an additional one-fifth of the personal reward, which is 100 points.
The second place winner will receive 200 points, the third place winner will receive 100 points, and the 4th to 10th place winners will receive 50 points. The MVPs of these teams will also receive one fifth of their team's individual rewards. The rest will receive no rewards.
The MVP is determined by the teacher based on the actual situation.
The next day in class, Su Bei actively asked other students if they wanted the information. Of course, he was not asking randomly, but specifically asking those students who were ambitious to leave Class F in this monthly exam. He tried to get only positive answers.
He was not greedy either. After earning back all 100 points, he stopped selling. After all, this is other people's information. If you sell too much and cause dissatisfaction with the person selling the information, it will be a bit outweighed by the gain.
The last person bought the item directly, so Su Bei earned 50 points for free. He didn't care whether the other party would sell it or not, but just asked him not to expose himself.
In the next few days, in order to recognize people, Su Bei occasionally went to the entrance of Class C and Class D. These two classes had the largest number of students, with a total of 160 people in four classes.
160 people is not a small number. If he doesn't take advantage of this period of time to recognize all of them, he may not be able to remember what kind of superpowers the opponent has when the game comes. Su Bei knows that he can't rely on superpowers to defeat the opponent for the time being, and can only rely on his own hard power, so it is important to know yourself and the enemy and seize the initiative in advance.
On Sunday, the official website even opened a new section specifically for the monthly exam, called "Ring Betting". This section will last throughout the entire monthly exam and the content is about winning or losing.
Just like gambling, during individual competitions, except for the last day, the forum will announce the day's competition information one day in advance. Students can use their points to bet on who will win before the competition begins. For team competitions, you can directly bet on which group will win.
Su Bei was very interested in this activity, although he strongly suspected that the school was organizing this activity just to recycle points. After all, as we all know, in gambling, no matter who wins, the dealer will definitely not suffer a loss in the end. But it doesn't matter, knowing that this is a comic world, he is sure that he can make a lot of money by betting all on the protagonist to win. He now has 175 points in his hand, and after the monthly exam is over, he has a hunch that he will become rich overnight.
Everything is ready, and in the restless atmosphere, the much-anticipated monthly exam is finally here!
