Chapter 119 Easter Egg

Time passed quickly while I was attending classes and instructing Xi Hongjing and others.

The multi-school competition, which students were only aware of but did not understand the details of, was finally put in front of them in full.

A total of seven schools participated in this event.

In addition to the host Elite Academy, the other six parties each brought 30 students. Together with the 90 students from three grades of Elite Academy, the total number reached an astonishing 270.

But if we compare this number to the math competition that Yuan Ying and He Yuchen participated in previously,

It doesn't seem to be a big deal.

The two were facing national-level schools, and Cui Tong could only temporarily come up with six schools to cooperate with in a short period of time.

Of course, this evaluation was made by the teachers within the Elite Academy themselves.

What’s interesting is that after Elite Academy posted the news of the competition online and announced that it would be broadcast live to the entire network, regardless of country or region, and could be searched as long as there was an Internet connection, a lot of opposition erupted internationally.

Some people say that the people in this country have gone crazy, and some people say that this is considered a large gathering of dangerous people...

This means that the Elite Academy wants to secretly gather armed forces to attack other countries.

Such outrageous words were only met with a single sentence.

"You have previously denied the existence of spirits, so what does what we want to do have to do with you?"

No more idle talk.

Just say that on December 11, when the seven schools gathered together——

This number of people is not really that large, but when you think about it, each of them is a spiritualist with different abilities, and they also have the label of being of the same age...

The second-year students of the Paranormal Department were still excited.

However, before any communication or exchange between students took place, the first person they had to deal with was a group of teachers.

As the host, you must be magnanimous. But if people from other schools come to provoke...

"Hey, Jing Yunsong, it's been a few years." A tall and thin man stood behind Jing Yunsong and put his hand on his shoulder.

The visitor is a senior teacher from Xuanxin High School. When he was a student, there were psychic departments on campus, and there were also exchanges.

It’s just different from now. Everything seemed more peaceful back then.

Most of the communication between the two schools is in the form of exchange students.

More than ten years ago, Jing Yunsong was one of the members who was exchanged to Xuanxin.

At that time, the person who was speaking looked at his hand on Jing Yunsong's shoulder, feeling the muscles under his palm stiffen for a moment, and the next second, he quickly withdrew his hand.

As expected, the steel rod was suddenly swung out with blue power...

"That was a close call. With your strength, it looks like you were going to break my arm."

The person who spoke snapped his nails and raised his eyelids to look at Jing Yunsong who had a dangerous look in his eyes: "When we competed in the early years, I was unlucky and lost to you. But now it's the students' turn to compete, so I want to see who can come out on top."

"I'm not interested in competing with anyone else in terms of educational skills." Jing Yunsong looked as if he didn't want to get involved.

The person who spoke curled his lips and said, "What do you know? Comparing with each other is also a way to make people progress."

The students standing behind the teachers had the same idea in their minds.

Teacher Jing must have had a lot of hard time during those days when she was an exchange student!

"But seeing as you don't even want to compete, I guess the students in your class are really too embarrassed to watch." He teased with a grin.

"Lian Huaiqing! I think you haven't been beaten in some years!" Jing Yunsong's emotions were finally aroused.

He had no problem with any talk of comparison, but when it came to saying that his students were not as good as their opponents, Jing Yunsong felt very unhappy.

Let’s not talk about He Jingtong who can open a realm at A level, just look at Jian Zirui, Chi Qian, Bai Yuewen and others who are also in the second grade. Any one of them is a good student who can fight well.

"Why do you care if I've ever been beaten? Just decide whether to compete or not. If my students win, it will prove that your education skills are not as good as mine. If they lose, we will have another fight. I want to see if you can still beat me after so many years."

Jing Yunsong wrapped his arms with steel sticks, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said in a tense voice: "Don't set a trap for me here."

"Even if I refute you, I can only say that even if my students lose, I can still beat you."

"I don't want to assume that my students will lose."

"They will win. After it's over, I will still fight with you, and I will still be the winner." Jing Yunsong's aura suddenly radiated outward, and Lian Huaiqing, who was once his classmate, changed his expression.

But then other teachers of Xuan Xin appeared behind Lian Huaiqing.

The teacher stepped forward and seeing everyone's attention, she quickly said, "Stop, let's stop talking about this topic."

"What's important now is the competition between students, not having two men in their 30s pretending to be hot-blooded teenagers."

"Especially you." The teacher stared at Lian Huaiqing dangerously, "How old are you? You are still so childish."

"A man stays young until he dies!" Lian Huaiqing said as if he was very right.

However, the next second, the teacher pointed the tip of the hook-shaped weapon at his temple.

"If you died in your thirties, I could just pretend you were two teenagers."

The silver-white metal gleamed coldly under the sun. Lian Huaiqing decisively closed his eyes and said in a voice so fast that it was almost inaudible: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have said such irresponsible and stupid things!"

He slid to his knees particularly quickly.

On the other side of them, Tan Dong had already pointed out a temporary place for Xuan Xin's teachers and students in a soft voice. She also communicated with Xuan Xin's other team leaders about some relevant information.

As a result of these things, the second-year students, who were originally thought to be able to communicate with each other, fell into a state of depression.

He Jingtong even heard a classmate muttering, "It was agreed that the students should join in the fun."

The classmate's teammate Yu "comforted" him: "If you had eyes, you would have seen that there was a student behind Mr. Lian, and the way he stared at He Jingtong was like a light bulb."

He Jingtong, who ate the melon and ended up eating himself: …

He followed the classmate's gaze and looked behind Xuan Xin's teachers.

Sure enough, there was a person with extremely scorching gaze among them.

He Jingtong was here - when he looked into his eyes, he had a feeling that he could never get rid of that gaze.

Like a shadow.

Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui, who also saw that man, took a step forward at the same time and blocked He Jingtong firmly behind them.

The former even mouthed, "What's the point of just staring at my teammates? Are other students from the Elite and Psychic Department not worthy of your attention?"

The man snorted and then retracted his gaze.

Afterwards, on the playground where seven schools and a total of about 300 people gathered, Cui Tong began to explain the details of the competition.

"The first round of this competition will last for three days and will be divided into three modes. As for the specifics of the three modes and their advantages and disadvantages, the Spiritual Master app will provide some information later."

Cui Tong obviously softened his tone when using the word "part".

"In addition, I hope that all students present here understand the importance of this competition. Strength is the only criterion for us to resist the spirits and protect ordinary people."

After a while, Cui Tong talked about a few more things here and there before concluding: "That's all I want to say. If you have any questions about other related matters, you can contact teachers Qu Shu and Xiang Li Xingqing."

Cui Tong walked off the stage in a flash.

Taking the students' conditions into consideration, the competition actually started on December 12th.

During the 11th, we just wanted to let everyone know the general situation of students in other schools.

Also, during the period from the night of the 11th to the 12th, it is up to the students to decide whether to collect information about other schools or to have a good rest.

As for collecting intelligence... Qi Xueyi only reacted after being reminded by Chi Qian.

The white-haired boy looked at the message on his phone and told his two teammates what he had heard in surprise.

In a blink of an eye, he got a reply from Jian Zirui, who said: "If conditions permit, you must know more about your opponent in advance. If conditions do not permit, then you should take a good rest and be prepared for any changes."

"Also, why are you so surprised?"

Qi Xueyi coughed and was too embarrassed to say that he had absolutely no idea about this.

The model of three-person teams of psychic science students is destined to allow a certain individual student to form a unique three-person small circle.

This model does not deliberately restrict students' social interaction, but it does allow different student circles to be independent.

Like He Jingtong and three others.

They usually don't have much time to pay attention to other classmates.

During the first grade, those students with whom Qi Xueyi had been close, since entering the second grade, each of them was squeezed out by various things and it was difficult to maintain a good friendship.

Eventually, it evolved into a gentlemanly friendship that was neither too close nor too distant. When they remembered each other occasionally, they would leave messages and communicate with each other on the phone.

"Ahem, anyway, our plan here is to have a good rest and be prepared for any changes, right?" Qi Xueyi roughly repeated Jian Zirui's words and changed the subject somewhat stiffly.

"So now, what we need to focus on is how the points system activities will proceed..."

Qi Xueyi shook his phone again: "There are three items. The first one is to kill a limited number of alien spirits. Points are calculated based on the number of kills."

"The second is to investigate the causes and consequences of the birth of the supernatural in the first project, and score based on accuracy."

"The third option seems to be independent, and requires you to challenge a spirit that is stronger than you. But the big problem with the third option is that no points are awarded for failed challenges. Moreover, the standards faced by each student are not unified, and they are all based on individual strength as the standard for measurement."

"I always feel like it's not well planned..." Qi Xueyi shook his head.

Jian Zirui also looked down at her phone and said, "Whether it is calculated or not, there is no need to pay special attention to it for now. The more important thing at the moment is the issue of rules. What Lao Cui said is too vague, and the information sent by Teacher An Lai is obviously not all."

"In other words, we must first go to Teacher Qu and Teacher Xiangli to find out the situation."

"But it will be easy to meet other students, right?" Qi Xueyi said with a bitter face. After all, if he met other students, he couldn't just pretend to be blind and ignore it without knowing anything. "There would be no such thing as a good rest."

"Is there a possibility that the teachers arranged it this way on purpose?" He Jing was still looking at his phone as before, but now he had turned off the screen and looked up at his two teammates.

"Are you going or not? Are you going alone or are you going all three of you?" He Jingtong raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I suggest that all three of us go." Jian Zirui stated her reasons, "There's no need to tell the two of you about your intelligence. You probably all know what you should and shouldn't know."

Qi Xueyi treats spiritual masters of all ages. He even has a specific time every month to go to different spiritual master gathering places to treat those who are on the front line and are full of hidden wounds.

He Jingtong...

There is no need to say much about the prophet, his lightning abilities have already been exposed in the live broadcast.

The only one that makes sense is the Nine Passes.

But melee weapons, after all, have a sense of change but remain essentially the same.

In this case, the only one who did not reveal any information was Jian Zirui.

"And if I go... then everything will be different."

Jian Zirui's tone was meaningful.

He Jingtong understood and said, "It's still fishing."

"I have no objection," Qi Xueyi said.

.

As for the teachers, Qu Shu's ability tendencies have superficially covered the entire college.

This is not to send all the people in the academy into the stealth space, but to make use of her control over the stealth space to achieve reasonable external live broadcast.

Yes, the competition started live on the 11th.

The initial proposal came from Lian Huaiqing.

Earlier, when Lao Cui brought people to Xuanxin for negotiations, at one of the meetings, Lian Huaiqing said that instead of starting the live broadcast when the competition actually started, it would be better to start it the day before.

First, we can see how much students pay attention to the Internet.

If they saw this live broadcast on the 11th, it means they can learn a lot of information about their opponents in advance through the live broadcast, and if not...

Then just consider yourself unlucky.

At this time, a group of teachers were in an empty classroom, watching the playback images of eighteen cameras at the same time.

In the camera, students of all kinds flashed by, and finally, six of the cameras were focused on Qu Shu and Xiang Li Xingqing, who were serving as NPC guides outside.

Many students have appeared around those two people.

They also only say what they are asked to say.

"The previous notification on the Spiritual Master APP only mentioned three events lasting three days. But in my case, the information I am allowed to provide is the competition rules for the first three events." Qu Shu looked gentle when speaking to the students from other schools.

The first-year students she taught were like mice, hiding under nearby trees, on chairs, or in corners, stealthily listening with their ears tilted to the side.

"Each student is only allowed to participate in one project, and each team of three must participate in three projects at the same time."

"After that, you will all receive a unified message at 12 o'clock in the evening, with the registration deadline being 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

The students were stunned by all the information: "But what the teachers said before was too vague, and there were some hidden misleading information..."

"What if a student thinks that they can participate in all three projects and has registered for all of them? And this is the premise that everyone knows about the registration. What should we do if we don't know?"

"Of course they are all eliminated." Qu Shu said with a smile, which surprised many students.

She had a side ponytail that fell naturally on her shoulders. She looked gentle and honest, but every word she said was more realistic than the last.

"Ordinary people trained by the N organization who can communicate with spiritualists are even fewer than spiritualists."

"Although they are expanding, this expansion also requires new training and new review mechanisms."

"Also, I hope you don't treat members of the N organization as psychic binding assistants. They usually cooperate more with students." Qu Shu must tell these students about the rules that have existed for a long time in the past that are unknown to ordinary people.

It takes time for new rules to emerge, and during this time, spiritualists can only wait and continue to abide by their past ways of survival.

"It's like collecting intelligence, discovering spirits, understanding the causes and consequences of the appearance of spirits, resolving the spirits, and dealing with the aftermath accurately... This series of tasks is the work of adult spiritualists."

"I don't even know the specific rules of the game and the corresponding time points..."

"That was fine in the past. Three years of high school and four years of college were enough for you to slowly learn. But now... I'm afraid it won't work."

Qu Shu shook his head and said, "This competition will expose you to too many adults. Some will feel sorry for you because you are still students and understand your hard work. But there will also be people who will take you for granted that the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility."

"I don't want to discuss the so-called social responsibility. But I also have to tell you that those are the things you are already facing."

At this time, a large number of viewers had entered the official live broadcast room.

The single digit that flashed by at first was replaced by the letter K in the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of thousands, millions of people, all flocked to the event.

There are too many Chinese who know nothing about spiritualists, and many of them have climbed over the wall to find out whether there really are spiritual people in the world...

Qu Shuyu smiled and changed the subject: "This is all the information I can give you. Is there anything else you want to ask? Teacher Xiangli has been waiting for a long time."

Several students from other schools couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw her gentle gaze, and some even took a few steps back.

An indescribable sense of danger is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Xiangli Xingqing glanced at Qu Shu and couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't want to keep you in suspense, so I'll just say it straight out."

"The first round of three events will be held over three days, and the median score will be taken in the final result. All students who score less than that number will face elimination."

"But among the three events, the third one is obviously very difficult. If you fail and get no points, what should the participants do then?" Jian Zirui asked.

Xiang Li Xingqing also gave a corresponding answer: "The team of three is one, and the standard for a single person's points is the average of the three people's values."

"As for the three events, whether you play a game of Tian Ji's horse racing or choose to fight to the death is up to you."

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Xiang Li Xingqing glanced at all the students present.

"If you have asked all the questions you want to ask, then your teacher Qu Shu and I will assume that these questions are all the questions that all students want to know."

"And then, here will be the recording of everything we've said before."

"After all, you can't ask teachers who are in their prime to actually act as an NPC and be asked the same questions over and over again. That would be too pitiful, wouldn't it?"

Everyone present felt that this sentence had a hidden meaning.

It means that they should have something else to ask, but they can't remember what to ask...

Everyone fell into a unified silence.

Until two voices said in unison: "I have more questions."

One is smooth and clean, the other is powerful and serious.

It was He Jingtong and the student from Xuanxin School who had been staring at him.

He Jingtong raised his hand and motioned for him to go first: "You ask first."

The man crossed his arms over his chest and did not try to tangle. He just said, "I want to know if you are deliberately hiding some information because we did not ask certain questions."

The person who asked the question discovered one thing, that is, the two teachers who claimed to be NPCs did not have the ability to deceive.

"Yes." Qu Shu still smiled.

Although at this time she was stared at by many students.

"It's your turn." The student who asked the question first looked at He Jingtong.

He Jingtong nodded in greeting and asked, "After the students below the median are eliminated, will there be a resurrection competition?" This question was asked in a decisive manner, more like stating a fact.

"Yes." Xiang Li Xingqing smiled. She originally thought that He Jingtong would remain silent throughout this small information inquiry activity.

"The final ranking is still determined by the individual spiritual master's ability. In other words, students with low average scores may have strong enough abilities. It's just that the project is too difficult and they can't get an excellent score."

"It would be a shame to eliminate them just like this, wouldn't it?"

"I have one last question. Can you two teachers answer it?" He Jingtong let out a breath.

"NPC won't allow players to ask just one question. Please ask." Qu Shu raised his hand to signal.

"The 45 teams that are destined to be eliminated in the first three days will only be able to decide on 45 winners of the resurrection match, and their opponents will all be their teammates, right?"

This question surprised Qu Shu and Xiang Li Xingqing.

At least they didn't expect it.

Many students also have this question

He had a look of shock on his face.

Because once this question is answered definitely, it means that everyone who enters the resurrection match will have to face a situation of fighting with their closest teammates.

Those who win in this situation will have a built-in rage buff when they fight alone in the future.

"This kind of Easter egg that was supposed to be revealed later has been discovered now."

"Damn Easter eggs, this is too bad!" I don't know which student blurted out this sentence, and when the two teachers looked over, the person who spoke had already disappeared into the crowd.

"Don't just blame us two for being bad. This model was decided by teachers from seven schools together." Qu Shu had an expression that showed he was determined not to take the blame.

"Alright, everyone." Xiang Li Xingqing raised her arms inward and pretended to glance at her watch which didn't exist. She then said, "It's time to get off work and it's time for the regular NPCs to leave."

In the end, many students could only watch the two leave hand in hand.

But the last words that Xiang Li Xingqing said were a complete trap.

Because this sentence is absolutely misleading.

Misleading many students into thinking they have revealed all they have been hiding.

But in fact, at least they didn’t say that the live broadcast had started today.

The news about the resurrection match and the fact that those who fail to register on time will be eliminated are bound to cause a lot of students to be entangled tonight.

At least they will definitely work harder to find out information about each other.

Well... only refers to a certain group of people.

Anyway, after He Jing and the other two learned so much, they all felt that there was no need to get to know students from other schools.

They have to figure out who's coming for the third event first.

That is, to fight against a spirit that is one level stronger than oneself. !
