The leaderboard is constantly being updated. Some people get angry as soon as they meet, and some teams are laughing and joking one moment and turning on each other the next.
Mao Hongtao led Chen Fang to climb onto Longyue and the other two. Although Chen Fang was capable, she couldn't fight against so many opponents. These were all lessons learned from her predecessors, conclusions drawn after countless verifications.
"Captain Zhu, don't worry, I absolutely won't give you any questions that will be delayed!" Chen Fang swore to the heavens, her sincerity couldn't be more genuine.
Zhu Yan: ━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Screw Captain Zhu!
Mao Hongtao put his hand on Zhu Yan's shoulder, looking like good buddies. Now they had to deal with the captains of other teams. No matter how well they got along outside, once they entered the battlefield, who cared about whether they were brothers outside?
However, there are also rules among the team captains. They cannot fight each other to the death. Once a teammate's points are taken away, it means that the captain is also eliminated. At this time, no matter what, no one can fight anymore, and the eliminated person needs to leave the battlefield.
In the fourth residential area of Binnan District, a thousand miles away from Rongcheng, Huang Guozhong was urgently summoned to school by Huang Bai's homeroom teacher from No. 3 Middle School at dawn.
"How could this happen?" Huang Guozhong trembled the moment he saw Huang Bai in the office, and in a panic, he reached out to touch his son's pale, handsome face.
At this moment, Huang Bai was sitting quietly in his wheelchair, his gentle eyes tightly closed, his expression pale and peaceful, his head gently resting on the back of the wheelchair, looking as if he were fast asleep.
Fine strands of hair fell onto her smooth forehead, adding a touch of fragility to her gentle figure.
However, Huang Bai's legs were wrapped in thick gauze, and there were a few scarlet spots on the white gauze, which deeply stung Huang Guozhong's eyes.
Huang Guozhong wiped his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down. "Teacher, please tell me what happened?"
The homeroom teacher, a male teacher, was looking at Huang Guozhong with a guilty expression, his gaze turning to Huang Bai with heartache.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken this mission. My team encountered a D-rank monster and a wave of E-rank monsters, and then the team was scattered. By the time I found Huang Bai, he had already passed out."
"And the legs..."
The homeroom teacher didn't say what came next, because it was simply too cruel for a father and a family.
The homeroom teacher felt deeply guilty. To him, Huang Bai was not just a student, but the most talented and promising student he had ever taught. He had always treated Huang Bai like his own child, but...
It's all his fault; he shouldn't have taken on this mission!
"I understand!" Huang Guozhong's back bent over instantly, his whole body exuding an aura of dejection. Looking at his only child, he pursed his lips, his heartache and regret written all over his face.
"How about this, I'll look for another doctor. I refuse to believe we can't find someone who can cure him!" The homeroom teacher looked at Huang Bai with a heavy heart and said through gritted teeth.
Huang Guozhong shook his head, "No need, thank you for your kindness, teacher. I'm already very grateful that you brought him back, how could I trouble you any further?"
"Besides, you already took him to see a doctor, which is already quite a hassle!"
"Don't mention it. You and I are both teachers. A teacher's relationship with a student is like that of their own child. There's no trouble or inconvenience involved."
The homeroom teacher sighed, "Seeing him like this makes me very sad too. If he needs any help, please contact me. By the way, this is a spirit coin card; Huang Bai's rewards for completing tasks are all in here."
Of course, there's also a part of me!
However, the homeroom teacher did not say this aloud. If he had, Huang Guozhong probably would never have accepted it.
As expected, Huang Guozhong reached out and took the spirit coin card. He gently rubbed the sea-blue spirit coin card with his index finger a few times, and his eyes unconsciously became moist.
"Phew... I'm sorry to have made you laugh, teacher. I took Huang Bai back with me!" Huang Guozhong smiled, but his smile was full of bitterness.
"Go back. Put his studies aside for now. I'll grant him a long leave!" The homeroom teacher was also downcast, his brow furrowed from the very beginning. This was his favorite student.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Huang Guozhong took the wheelchair and slowly pushed the already sleeping Huang Bai out of the classroom. Even in his sleep, Huang Bai's brows never relaxed, and he occasionally mumbled in his sleep.
Huang Guozhong looked at the spirit coin card in his hand, and the grief in his eyes could no longer be concealed. Money, it's all about money!
Bai'er only went on missions with her homeroom teacher to earn spirit coins. If it weren't for earning spirit coins, this wouldn't have happened, and Bai'er would still be fine, perfectly fine...
Huang Guozhong looked at his trembling hands and choked up. He simply couldn't imagine how his wife would react when she saw their child like this.
His wife had always opposed their child going on missions, and now that something had happened because of a mission, Wang Jing's health had improved over the past few years, but how could she accept this?
It's all my fault. I'm useless, so useless that I had to make my child do such a dangerous mission...
"You're back. What did your teacher say when she called you to school?" Wang Jing opened the door for Huang Guozhong with a smile.
But after seeing the scene outside the door, the smile froze on his face and then gradually disappeared.
"Xiao Bai?" Wang Jing could hardly believe her eyes. Her son was sitting quietly in his wheelchair, pale and without any of his former vitality.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, Wang Jing felt dizzy and lightheaded, and slowly leaned backward.
***
In Rongcheng, Longyue encountered the first group that wanted to rob them. The other side had nine people, equivalent to three small teams, three of whom were captains.
"Stop right there. Hand over all your points, or you'll face the consequences if we have to take action."
The three team captains blocked Zhu Yan and Mao Hongtao from the very beginning. Captains fought captains, teammates fought teammates—it was fair...
Bullshit!
Zhu Yan stared coldly at the captain who had stopped him, his aura as a level ten martial artist fully unleashed. Mao Hongtao was equally unyielding, his strength as a level ten martial artist on full display.
The other side consisted of three level-ten martial artists, who were eyeing the two men menacingly. "Actually, you don't need to struggle at all. Just hand over your points and leave the battlefield, and you'll be safe. We won't do anything to you!"
"If you want to fight, then fight! Why all the nonsense? You want to grab points? Don't you even know your own strength?" Zhu Yan sneered and started fighting immediately!
The three of them, including Longyue, were surrounded by six men of varying ages, the youngest of whom was probably around forty years old.
"Little girl, hand over your points, and your grandpa will let you off the hook!" one of the older men said arrogantly.
