Chapter 125
With the crazy background sound of "It's all sharks", the glass windows on the first floor were the first to be unable to bear the weight and obvious cracks appeared. Then, crisp shattering sounds were heard, and the glass windows were sacrificed violently. Dark and oppressive summoning creatures rushed in, and screams echoed in every corner.
The teaching building that Yu Tu escaped into had only three floors. The first floor was an ordinary classroom with a huge screen in the front. The second floor looked like a dance studio. Looking up from the stairs on the first and second floors, the second floor was empty with wooden floors and glass mirrors all around.
Less than thirty seconds after the summoned creature entered, many of the first batch of students who came into contact with it began to glow white. The white light formed a transparent "membrane" that wrapped around them and randomly teleported them to any corner of the second floor. It was obvious from this posture that they had already "died" once.
Before, in open areas, even if you couldn't defeat the summoned creatures, you could use the buildings to run around them. But now you are restricted to indoors. After the combat power of the summoned creatures has increased by 20%, the small space is even more unfavorable for students to perform, and the battle situation has become one-sided to a terrible extent.
In just a few breaths, the first floor became much emptier—the students who had been resurrected for the second time had been teleported to the second floor.
Yu Tu initially hid on the first floor, at the innermost part near the stairs. Seeing the situation, he decisively turned around and climbed to the second floor. Don't ask him why he didn't try to defend the first floor. The reason is that everyone is a rookie. Even if a god-level commander came, he couldn't lead such a large group of rookies!
Yu Tu felt a chill on his back when he was halfway up the mountain. The intuition he had developed during his time on the second floor of the competition tower prompted him to throw out the iron bracket without even looking back. He heard a loud "bang" and in his peripheral vision, he saw a piece of white bone flying to his feet, which looked like a hand bone.
Skeleton is worth 0.1 credits. Judging by the score, it is definitely the easiest to kill among all summoned creatures!
Yu Tu turned around decisively, holding the iron bracket with his other hand. After infusing a weak wood-type spiritual power into it, he waved his hands, and a skull flew up and hit the wall, then bounced off the wall and knocked down another skeleton that was chasing after it. The neck of the skull that came out of nowhere hit the handrail of the stairs, and it broke into two pieces with a "crack".
Yu Tu heard a hint:
[Amazing! Double kill of skeletons! Credits +0.2! ]
The wall next to him had bulged into an irregular shape, faintly black, and it looked like something was about to come out. Yu Tu poked the triangular iron bracket on the wall with an expressionless face, and received another system prompt:
[You gave the ghost a big blow, and the ghost's rage increased. ]
Yu Tu: “…”
Seeing that physical attacks seemed to be ineffective against non-physical creatures like ghosts, Yu Tu ran away!
When I ran to the safety door on the second floor, I immediately heard the howling of other people, accompanied by the sound of banging and clanging, as if someone was destroying a house.
Yu Tu turned around and decisively ran to the third floor!
The reminder sound in my ear is like another kind of spiritual pollution——
【You have encountered an ogre. 】
【You encountered three zombies. 】
[You stepped on the zombie's butt, and the zombie went into a violent state. ]
[Two ghosts met, triggering a combination of music, and a powerful ghost appeared. ]
[You gave a powerful ghost a blow, and the ghost's rage increased. ]
Yu Tu: “…”
The iron bracket was swinging in his hand so hard that an afterimage appeared. Yu Tu especially missed the whip he used during training on the second floor of the competition tower—that was the weapon he was most familiar with!
Perhaps this kind of chaotic battle is more conducive to stimulating people's potential. The experience that Yu Tu gained from entering the medical formation many times finally slowly became his own. Sometimes the body took action before the consciousness could react.
With the prompt [excellent! Zombie skewers! Credits +0.6!], the iron bracket in Yu Tu's hand finally completed its mission gloriously and broke under the heavy load.
Yu Tu was confused by the powerful ghost. When he reacted, he was informed that he had lost one credit. He was teleported to the third floor. The unpleasant reminder was almost completely synchronized with his teleportation:
【You encountered a vengeful ghost. 】
[You ignored this resentful ghost, and it fell into sorrow. ]
[Congratulations, you died again, credits -2. ]
Yu Tu: “…”
Is this ever going to end? You know how hard it is to earn credits!
At this moment, Yu Tu felt that his resentment was greater than that of the resentful ghost.
After dying once on the third floor, you will no longer be teleported and will only refresh again at a slightly farther distance. When Yu Tu opened his eyes, he saw a vengeful ghost with a hideous face rushing towards him.
Yu Tu had no weapon in his hand now, so he recited the talisman he learned in the theory class as a last resort and drew the talisman in the air. After the spiritual power was injected, the movement of the vengeful ghost did indeed pause for a moment.
Useful, but not much.
The white light on the third floor flashed like fireworks, and Yu Tu could hardly open his eyes. After briefly stopping the vengeful ghost again, Yu Tu rushed to the window and instantly turned into his original form. He slid along the side of the wall to the window on the first floor with an extremely smooth movement that even Newton's coffin lid could not cover. The higher he went, the more high-level summons he would receive. He might as well go back to the first floor to fight monsters!
Credits are valuable, but your life is more valuable!
*
[First-year student xxx died, credit -1; second-year student xxx died, credit -1…First-year student xxx died, credit -1; third-year student xxx died, credit -1…]
The thirty-odd fourth graders who took part in the coalition felt their hearts bleed as they listened to the incessant and almost uninterrupted broadcasts.
In less than ten minutes, they had collectively lost more than 100 credits. If these 100 credits were distributed equally among each of them, there would not be many points. But the premise is that they can make a quick decision and not add more credit to the summoned creatures!
"Don't activate this formation!" Chu Tinghan grabbed Shi Bufan's hand and said sadly, "It's probably wrong!"
Just now, Fu Lin activated the combined formation by mistake and increased the combat power of the summoned creature by 20%. If he activates it wrong this time, the combat power of the summoned creature will double again... The credits are deducted so violently, it is simply worse than a tragedy, more tragic than a tragedy!
Whether it is to prevent the erroneous formation from getting out of control or to draw a new formation to collect the summoned creatures collectively, it is a very anxious and frustrating thing, but the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to make mistakes, otherwise the consequences will be more serious.
"If you are nervous and your hands are shaking and you can't draw, stop now!" Jin Wanqing stopped calculating on her draft paper. All the classmates around her were sweating. "Calm down before continuing, otherwise you will make things worse!"
Shi Bufan seemed to have heard some kind of amnesty order and put down his pen: "I'll take a break. I'm so panicked now."
The sound from the screen on the teacher's side could be transmitted to them, making people more and more nervous. Especially Shi Kaiming, the first one to "die"—that was his younger brother!
The more anxious he gets, the more confused he becomes!
The fourth graders were in a mess, but the teachers in front of the screen were quite relaxed, occasionally commenting on the students' actions that were randomly cut into many small screens.
If the fourth graders can't even handle such a simple emergency, they will have a hard time next semester!
…
Yu Tu went from the third floor to the first floor, and then from the first floor to the third floor, and from one teaching building to another. When his seventh new weapon was on the verge of being scrapped, he finally heard a "celestial music" -
[Regretfully inform all students that the fourth graders have completed the joint formation and the summons have been collected collectively. This [Credit Defense War] has officially ended. Thank you for your active participation! ]
Synchronized with this "heavenly music", the color of the zombie's hand pressing on his new weapon became lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared like a wisp of green smoke.
This deadly battle royale is finally over!
Yu Tu was so tired that his hands were shaking badly. He opened his watch and saw it was filled with his kill records and death records. The watch had automatically calculated his score. After fighting for an entire afternoon, his credits were 0.3.
Yu Tu thought expressionlessly, fortunately it was not negative, otherwise it would be a huge loss.
Maybe the teachers in the school also knew that the students probably had no energy left after this ordeal, so the next few days were calm, except for some students who had negative credits deducted, and the credits deducted were particularly large. The combat class in the morning was particularly brutal - they all received warm guidance and greetings from the teachers.
Although Yu Tu's credits were not deducted, he did expose many shortcomings in this "Battle Royale". In the rest of October, the phantoms that fought against him targeted his weaknesses, causing the number of times he entered the medical formation to soar again.
Yu Tu...Yu Tu gradually got used to it.
Coming back with a head full of theoretical knowledge, Yu Tu sorted out his notes. After washing up and preparing to rest, he checked his watch as usual, only to find that Gu Hongying had sent him a message, asking him if he wanted to go to Watch World during the holiday at the end of October.
Freshmen and sophomores at Miller College all have a monthly holiday, with two days off each month. This month, Yu Tu was so busy with training that he didn't even notice that tomorrow was the day off.
After [Credit Defense], Yu Tu concentrated on training and even cut off Buyehou's vest just to provide dog food for Xiao Hui. Today, when Gu Hongying reminded him of this, he thought about it and felt that he should relax a little - since the college entrance examination, his life seemed to have turned into an unexpected path, and he has basically never had a peaceful life.
Yu Tu replied with an emoticon that said “no problem”.
When he woke up the next day, Yu Tu changed out of his school uniform and went to the transmission point of Millerkel University.
Miller College is in the inner world. Although the school has complete facilities, it certainly does not have entertainment venues such as the outer world cinema and snack street.
There is a monthly holiday every month. There are many students in the transmission point, and they are leaving in batches. Yu Tu waited for a while, and Gu Hongying appeared from another direction.
"Let's go, Tutu!" Gu Hongying bared his teeth and laughed foolishly, "Let's go out and play for two days!"
After the tough battle in the [Credit Defense Battle], his progress has been rapid! Just yesterday afternoon, he finally broke a millimeter of skin on the ice chain!
It’s really not easy!
He wants to give himself two days off to celebrate!
After being teleported to the surface world, Gu Hongying took Yu Tu onto the car that the school had specially prepared for them.
"Tu Tu." Gu Hongying's eyes were full of eagerness to try, "Look, let me show you my new skill - spiritual pathfinding!"
This was the skill he had mastered best in the ice cave in Kunlun!
"Wait!" Yu Tu interrupted Gu Hongying, "Are you sure it won't become a hot topic if we teleport directly to the destination?"
Gu Hongying was going to a bustling commercial snack street!
"Don't worry, we've emphasized this since the beginning of the school year: 'Don't use your spiritual power recklessly in the surface world to get discovered.'" Gu Hongying patted his chest and said confidently, "I just add skills to the car and let it drive itself. I just need to put my hands on the steering wheel and get ready!"
After all, he hasn't got his driver's license yet!
…
An hour later, Yu Tu and Gu Hongying stood under a building, looking at each other.
Yu Tu paused his phone and held the screen in front of Gu Hongying: "Are you sure this is a snack street?"
The bustling scene on the phone forms a sharp contrast with the current situation.
Gu Hongying: "...Maybe this nameless snack street we took the wrong way is a wasteland street."
"Wasteland style..." Yu Tu murmured, "It's quite tactful."
"Do you think they have a health license?"
In front of them was a building that looked old and a bit eerie. The blue glass exterior was covered with moss, which looked neither blue nor green. The door to the first floor was open. There was a layer of dust on the ground, and some messy footprints. Through the dirty and not very clear glass wall, you could vaguely see that the interior decoration was still there.
"Maybe this place is more informal———" Gu Hongying glanced at his phone, then turned his head to look at the building: "Forget it, I can't make it up anymore."
He looked puzzled: "What is this place?!"
He could swear that his spells and casting gestures were absolutely correct! There was someone outside their car window a few minutes ago, and the scene was normal!
Yu Tu was also full of confusion.
Probably, possibly, perhaps...it's the male protagonist's halo that's working?
Neither of them had any interest in committing suicide, so neither of them planned to go in.
Gu Hongying turned around decisively: "Let's go!"
He took two steps and found that Yu Tu didn't move, so he turned his head again: "What's wrong?"
"I guess we can't leave now." Yu Tu looked at the phone that suddenly went black and didn't respond no matter how he pressed it. He was as calm as a capybara, and even felt that the dust had finally settled. "No signal."
