Chapter 210
After the contestants' assembly meeting, it was already 9:30 pm local time.
Considering that everyone had just arrived at the league base today and was exhausted from the long journey, and the brief time they had to sort out their personal belongings was far from enough for them to rest, Sorok readily decided that after leaving the assembly center auditorium, the Golden Uriel school team members would disband on the spot and do whatever they needed to do.
"Those who want to go to the cafeteria can go there. Those who want to go straight back to the apartment building can go back there. Those who want to wander around are free to do so as long as they stay within the building's curfew," said Sorok. "We'll meet in the team meeting room inside the apartment building tomorrow morning at 7:30."
This means that starting from 7:30 tomorrow morning, the Golden Urie school team will officially enter the preparation period.
There are still 20 hours left until the official login time for the competition. Starting from 7:30 tomorrow morning, there is still a full ten hours of preparation time.
The Golden Urie school team scattered like birds and beasts.
Jin Qing, Song Yang, Xiao Yeli and two senior students who were on the team all wanted to go to the cafeteria.
Ulaina, Orliang, Sorok, the first-year students on the team, and others all wanted to return to the apartment building.
Jiang Yunu looked left and right and found that he and Pei Ya were the only ones left at the door of the auditorium.
Pei Ya said, "Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Yunu thought for a moment and asked, "Walk around and get familiar with the situation?"
Pei Ya said, "Let's go."
Jiang Yunu and Pei Ya went around the construction area.
Jiang Yunu didn't take Shen Yijing's subtle gaze and the strange feeling he brought to mind.
It's not a big deal anyway.
Rather than the suspected attention of Captain Shen, the glitteringly titled Captain of Duma Academy, Jiang Yunu was more concerned about the upcoming first round of competition. As for Shen Yijing, she was only curious about his and his team's performance in the first round.
Seeing is believing.
Whether it was the video footage he'd found online two years earlier at the Enge Primary School for Supernatural Powers, or the recent exhibition match he'd watched online via holographic equipment, Jiang Yunu had only witnessed Shen Yijing's combat posture through signal transmission and virtual images. And as a warrior, nothing could better understand an opponent's strength and gauge the depth of the gap between them than direct combat on the battlefield.
"You seem very interested in Captain Shen," Pei Ya said as they strolled around. She had already listened to Jiang Yunu's vision for the first match, and the "Banner of the Stars" map itself was certainly intriguing.
"After all, he is the one who holds the title of 'the strongest'." Jiang Yunu answered readily.
Jiang Yunu would be particularly interested in whoever was recognized as the strongest student in school.
——Even if the other person’s words and actions sometimes seem a little strange.
"..." When Pei Ya heard Jiang Yunu's comment about Shen Yijing being "a bit weird", she hesitated to speak again.
With her intuition as a future outstanding intelligence officer, Pei Ya felt that Chen Yijing did not seem to be unfamiliar with Jiang Yunu, and the two of them did not seem like strangers meeting for the first time; but at the same time, with Pei Ya's familiarity and understanding of Jiang Yunu, she felt that Jiang Yunu was not lying - Jiang Yunu really felt that he had never met Chen Yijing before.
This is a bit strange, Pei Ya thought silently.
It's not just Captain Shen's attitude that's weird, but also your seemingly ambiguous "acquaintance" with each other.
But Pei Ya chose to say nothing for the time being.
Anyway, as long as Jiang Yunu doesn't seem to be troubled or affected, why should others care about him?
Pei Ya accompanied Jiang Yunu to continue visiting the construction area with peace of mind, and took note of all the self-service vending machines in the construction area except those in the cafeteria.
These are all small fixed supply points for Jiang Yunu.
After walking around, Jiang Yunula Peya went to the cafeteria for a late-night snack before the cafeteria completely stopped serving food. She promised again, "After the first round of matches, I'll use the apartment kitchen to make something myself to celebrate the end of the competition."
It was already late, but I didn't expect there to be so many people in the cafeteria. I could see school uniforms from several schools hanging around the cafeteria.
Looking at the tired looks on the faces of the school team members, some of them were even holding their plates while turning on the small screens on their wrists, whispering something with their classmates next to them. It was not difficult to guess that these school teams might have just finished an "evening meeting".
They are all busy holding team meetings as soon as the conference is over.
Jiang Yunu deliberately looked around the cafeteria and found that there was no one in the uniform of their Golden Uriel Academy.
It seems that the members of our school team came to the cafeteria early and had already finished eating and went back.
"You are only thinking about celebrating the end of the game. Haven't you thought about celebrating winning the first place in the game?" Someone suddenly spoke at the table behind them. He didn't mention anyone by name, but from the ambiguous tone of the words, it was probably directed at Jiang Yunu and Pei Ya.
Jiang Yunu thought the man's voice sounded familiar and turned around - oh, the vice-captain of Michelle College.
"It's you." Jiang Yunu said.
She spoke in a calm tone, but somehow this calm attitude seemed to step on the other party's tail again.
"Yeah, so what if it's me?" The vice-captain of Mitchell College raised his chin, as if he was going to "punch Golden Uriel, step on the second-largest district, and head straight for the first district" tomorrow. "You, Golden Uriel College, as a school in the second-largest district, only have this aspiration? You're just preparing to celebrate after the game, without even considering winning the championship?"
"I wouldn't dare." Jiang Yunu said sincerely, "Diyao College and Duma College are still here. Who would say they want to win the championship in front of them?"
——This is true.
The deputy captain of Michelle College was busy making his presence felt on the side of the "Golden Poor Man" and probably didn't notice that just before he took the initiative to provoke Jiang Yunu, students wearing the golden-brown uniforms of Diyao College and the black combat uniforms of Duma College sat down at the tables next to him and behind him respectively.
Upon hearing the keyword "win the championship", the students at both tables stopped what they were doing and looked quietly at the vice-captain of Michelle College.
Jiang Yunu smiled and pulled Pei Ya, who had also finished, to her feet. She pressed the empty plate recycle button on the table. She calmly walked past the frozen Vice Captain Michelle and said expectantly, "See you on the battlefield! Your school has made winning the championship the standard of 'having ambitions'. You must have made every effort to prepare, right? I look forward to your performance."
After saying that, Jiang Yunu passed by Deputy Captain Michelle and nodded slightly to the students Di Yao and Duma whom she had endlessly called, just as a greeting.
As for whether the contestants from these two "TOP schools" who are extremely arrogant will respond to her?
Who cares.
She does what she wants to do, not because she expects others to give her something in return.
The look on the face of the Michelle Academy vice-captain’s face when he froze at that moment was brilliant, and that alone made it all worth it!
Jiang Yunu returned to the apartment building with Pei Ya feeling refreshed and had a full night's sleep. The next morning, before six o'clock, she got up early as usual, did some morning stretching in the common living room of the Golden Urie school team, then connected to the league's player service system and called the cafeteria to deliver meals for the entire team.
Meals from the league base can also be delivered directly to the players' apartments by robots, but the delivery time is limited. It is very convenient to use it occasionally.
Jiang Yunu stayed alone in the living room for at least half an hour. Sorok appeared neatly dressed and was very surprised to see her sitting on the sofa.
"Have you been up for a while?" Sorok said. He could tell from Jiang Yunu's condition that he had not just woken up.
Jiang Yunu said: "I am used to getting up early."
Jin Qing was the second to arrive in the living room. When she saw Jiang Yunu, her first question was, "So early? Have you had enough rest?"
Jiang Yunu handed the senior a cup of refreshing tea and said, "That's enough. You can go to stage □□ now and earn a lot of points for the school."
Jin Qing held the teacup and said in deep agreement, "That's great!"
If I said this at a gathering of eight schools, it would seem a bit "presumptuous", but now I'm in an apartment building exclusively for the school team, so what's wrong with saying something quite ambitious?
No problem!
At 7:30 in the morning, all members of the Golden Ulie school team entered the team meeting room and took their seats in turn.
"The time to log in to the competition stage is 5:30 this evening." Sorok pointed to the real-time time on the floating screen and said, "Now, let's discuss the main tactics for this round of competition—"
Among the stars, the one with more flags wins.
The mechanics of the first round of competition are relatively simple and there is nothing that requires much thought.
The only two points you need to pay attention to are: first, you need to move quickly, and second, after entering the middle and later stages of the race, you need to be careful of others grabbing the flag.
"We can start by dispersing our actions, exploring in different directions, marking as many flags as possible, and then wait until the number of unmarked flags on the field drops to a certain level, then reunite at a designated location and begin collective action." Jin Qing's proposal was clear.
Jiang Yunu was eager to try and said, "The captain and I are strong in fighting alone. We can each be responsible for a location and conduct independent exploration first."
Sorok pondered Jiang Yunu's plan for two seconds and nodded. "As long as we don't encounter the entire enemy team alone, we should both be able to handle it on our own. As for the others, it would be safer to form a two-person team in the early stages."
Sorok also warned: "Even in the early stages, when there are many flags left on the field, if you encounter an enemy team that clearly outnumbers you and both sides are interested in the same flag, everyone should prioritize their own safety and not force a fight."
Sorok's words revealed his "good guy captain" qualities. He is worthy of being recognized as a good guy even by players from other schools. In a competitive scoring competition, he still puts his own players first.
Jiang Yunu responded like everyone else, nodding "hmm" and following the instructions.
But as a logistics staff member accompanying the team, Pei Ya sat in the audience seat and listened. She felt that someone might agree to something verbally, but actually had another answer in mind.
——Jiang Yunu might sneakily try to "steal" from other teams.
But regardless of whether Jiang Yunu can actually "become stronger when facing a strong opponent and seize the opportunity when necessary", the last ten hours of pre-match preparation passed in a flash.
At five o'clock in the evening, all the contestants had gathered in the square of the central stage.
Following the same random draw order, they were collectively teleported to the No. 4 competition platform and then placed at different landing gates by school team.
