So, if they lose, they have to keep training; if they lose their whole lives, they have to stay here for the rest of their lives?
"But don't worry, we still have two months." Ji Tiehan smiled slightly, but in Ji Yueyao's eyes, his smile could be described as ferocious.
Mommy, it's so scary, sob sob...
In short, the last two months were a living hell for Ji Yueyao and the others. Although their strength did improve greatly as a result, she still felt that period was both the happiest and the most difficult time.
When Ji Yueyao returned to her dormitory that evening, she opened the door wearily and found that Kaqi was already in bed resting early. After hesitating for a moment, she asked softly, "Kaki, are you awake?"
"Mm." Kachi nodded, but didn't sit up, and her voice sounded a little strange.
"What's wrong with you?" Ji Yueyao naturally noticed something was wrong and sat down next to Kaqi to ask softly. Actually, she wanted to ask why you left first yesterday, but seeing Kaqi's listless appearance, she swallowed the words back.
“Wu Qianqian is dead.” Kaqi turned over and faced Ji Yueyao. “She was killed by Xiao Yaru.”
Dead? Ji Yueyao was stunned. Then, the image of the pitiful woman who had been tortured last night flashed through her mind. In this place, was death really so close to her?
She sighed softly, unable to describe her feelings at that moment.
"Wasn't Xiao Yaru originally Wu Qianqian and your roommate? Why would you kill her?" Ji Yueyao asked, puzzled.
“They never liked each other to begin with, and after Xiao Yaru became Mu Liu’s woman, their relationship soured even more. But I never imagined that Xiao Yaru, who was originally so kind, would do something like this.” Kaqi’s voice was somewhat angry, but her trembling lips revealed that she was truly heartbroken.
Ji Yueyao was never good at comforting people, and at this moment she just sat silently on the edge of the bed, not knowing what to say.
Kachi's feelings were incomprehensible to her because these things were originally too far removed from her life. In her previous life, no one would suddenly be killed by anyone else, but now... they were right in front of her.
"If Wu Qianqian was murdered, then Xiao Yaru..." Surely the murderer won't get away with it.
Kachi didn't look up, her voice very calm, "She'll be fine, because Mu Liu is protecting her."
Is that so? Lowering her eyes, Ji Yueyao patted Kaqi's back reassuringly, "It's alright, go to sleep, everything will be fine tomorrow." Because that's what she tells herself every day.
Kachi didn't say anything, but slowly buried her head in the blanket.
In short, Wu Qianqian's matter came to an end. Perhaps because Ji Yueyao and Wu Qianqian were not familiar with each other, the news of Wu Qianqian's death did not affect her much. A few days later, a new roommate came to their dormitory, named Xu Yajun. The name sounded very quiet, but she herself was a very lively person. She was eighteen years old this year, the same age as Ji Yueyao.
Kachi seemed to recover quickly, and she was still cheerful and generous, only occasionally revealing a touch of sadness.
"Yueyao, are you getting ready to go to the training area?" Xu Yajun asked as he followed Ji Yueyao out, who looked all ready to go.
"Okay." Ji Yueyao nodded. "I remember you're going to work too, let's go together."
"I heard you have your assessment tomorrow. Are you confident?" Xu Yajun looked at Ji Yueyao's increasingly well-proportioned figure with some envy. Because she had to carry heavy objects every day, she was now short and disproportionate.
Ji Yueyao still has short hair, but her childish face has gradually become more resolute. There is a long, conspicuous wound on her neck. Although it has scabbed over, you can still imagine how much suffering Ji Yueyao endured in the training area.
"I wouldn't say," Ji Yueyao smiled. "I feel pretty good about myself."
"It's great to be able to go to the training area. I couldn't stand it. This feeling is completely different from those of us who live such miserable lives." Xu Yajun sighed. "You and Sister Kachi are the same. You seem to be living a very easy life."
“The training area is tiring too. Look at all my injuries. Aqi isn’t having an easy time either. Anyway, everyone here is living and working hard.” Ji Yueyao patted Xu Yajun’s shoulder and waved to her, saying, “I’ve arrived. I’m leaving now.”
"Okay." Xu Yajun nodded, then hurriedly headed towards his work area.
Ji Yueyao watched her retreating figure, then turned and walked towards the training area. She was gradually adapting to life here, at least she wasn't crying every day anymore. But along with that came a deep longing for her home.
Mom and Dad, I miss you so much! Your daughter is doing very well here, so please don't worry.
"Woman, you're so slow." Wei Kang leaned against the pillar by the door with his arms crossed. "With your skinny arms and legs, you mustn't slow people down."
"Why don't you give it a try?" Ji Yueyao sneered. Not a single good word came out of this guy's mouth.
"Let's give it a try." Wei Kang shrugged nonchalantly, then lowered his center of gravity slightly and pounced on Ji Yueyao, immediately sweeping his leg out.
Ji Yueyao almost instinctively jumped back, grabbed Wei Kang's shoulder, and kicked him back. The two of them went back and forth, having a great time. It was just a pity for the people who came in after them. The brave ones dared to go in, while the timid ones didn't even dare to enter the door.
"Are these the two most skilled people in our training area this year?" A boy leaning against a pillar by the door whispered to the person next to him. At the end of last month, everyone in their training area had a chaotic battle, and in the end, only the man and woman in front of them were left standing on the training field. The man was alright, but the thin woman was also one of the people standing on the training field!
"What's so strange about that? Didn't you notice that while we train for one unit of training, those two train for ten or even a hundred units of training?" Another boy standing next to the one who spoke sighed, watching the two fight in front of him, and knew that he was no match for them.
Ji Yueyao's hearing was getting better and better, so she naturally heard the conversation between the two. She couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself, and stepped aside to signal Wei Kang to stop the fight.
Actually, she didn't want to work so hard at all, okay? But whenever she wanted to rest, Wei Kang would make sarcastic remarks from the side, and then the two of them would start arguing, and that's how things ended up like this.
Ji Yueyao silently shed tears of helplessness. Anyone would feel the same way if they had such a venomous teammate.
However, her appetite has indeed increased significantly. Two packs of biscuits are no longer enough for her. Fortunately, she has Kachi's financial support, otherwise she would have starved to death.
Standing on the training ground, Ji Tiehan looked at the four people in front of her with satisfaction. Although Ji Yueyao and Wei Kang's strength surprised her, Yao Lin and Xu Lingnan were not bad either.
"Tomorrow is the assessment, and I hope you will all do your best." Ji Tiehan seemed very pleased. "You should know that as long as you represent the Xiyu Base in the battle, you will receive a reward of fifty points, and the winner will receive an additional one hundred points."
