On the beach.
The students were scattered all over the ground, and hundreds of them fainted.
Jia Jiao stared at Lin You, the last one who fainted, for a long time before he came to his senses and looked away.
The light shield, which was now empty, began to disappear rapidly.
Jia Jiao ignored him and walked towards the seashore, gazing at the distant sea level, not knowing what he was thinking.
A few hours later.
On the beach which had been quiet for a long time, a roar was heard. It was a sea dragon.
With this roar, the sea water began to surge, mixed with ice, and fell heavily on the people who were still unconscious on the beach.
As soon as the icy water covered the beach, which had been silent for a long time, responded again.
"Damn it, what's going on? I'm freezing to death!"
"It's so cold, so cold, I'm freezing to death. Is this the work of that sea dragon again?"
"This is too torturous, it's inhumane! Why are you playing with us like this? Instructor Jia, could you please be merciful and change the way you call people next time?"
Many students were shivering with cold teeth and shaking bodies, uttering words of grief and anger, wanting to cry but having no tears!
Come again!
I won’t be treated like this every time I faint in the future, right?
Then who would dare to faint?
No, it’s not a question of whether they dare or not. None of them would be so stupid as to faint willingly. Isn’t this force majeure?
It hurts!
In the crowd, Lin You was also trembling.
There's no way, it's really cold to the bone!
This was the first time he experienced the feeling of being woken up by Hailong. No wonder he was so efficient. Even if the person was so dizzy, he could still wake him up quickly.
But soon, Lin You mobilized the magic power that had recovered in his body and dispelled the ice in his body.
Feeling the amount of magic power, Lin You immediately determined how long he had been unconscious.
At this moment, the sky was already dim and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
The training has been going on since six in the morning, which is quite a long time. Of course, the several hours of coma are also included.
The beach gradually calmed down. After all, they had scored twice. With some experience, they all knew how to use their magic power as quickly as possible to deal with it.
Although the ice is bone-chilling, it is easy to get rid of it.
From this we can see that Jia Jiao still has some tricks up his sleeve.
Otherwise, if you allow the ice to continue to erode, it will not just be a small matter of suffering from the cold. Your body functions may be affected, and in more serious cases, it may even be life-threatening.
At this moment, Jia Jiao walked back from the beach. He glanced at the group who had calmed down and stood up again, and smiled contemptuously, "Why do you always act so awkwardly during every training session? Each time it gets more ridiculous than the last? I'm your training instructor, but I don't want to see this kind of clumsy drama every day. It's not funny, it's boring."
“…”
Everyone felt aggrieved and was criticized again!
Ever since his true colors were revealed, Jia Jiao not only had a sour face all day long, but he also spoke with a sharp tongue.
As he kept scolding some students, they really started to doubt whether they were too useless.
Such a precious opportunity to train high-quality magic shell in advance, but he missed it and fainted so quickly.
In the end, I feel like I gained nothing.
Although the training is painful and difficult, the benefits are real.
Who doesn’t want to create a high-quality magic shell?
Who doesn’t want to become stronger and have a brighter future?
In the past, many people thought they were geniuses. Even if they were not as good as a few monsters, they were from prestigious schools, achieved excellent results in those schools, and were admitted to advanced classes with limited numbers of students.
But after only three days of training, they encountered setbacks everywhere, and their self-confidence was really hit.
Many students were becoming somewhat depressed, but Jia Jiao didn't care. He continued, "Looking at you, it seems you're not completely useless. At least you have some self-awareness. You know you're incompetent, useless, and worthless."
"But why do you know you're useless, yet you still have the nerve to complain about this and that every day? What qualifications do you have? Since you're useless, you have to train hard. You deserve to be tortured. The more severe the torture, the better. At least, it will give you some capital to get rid of the label of 'waste'. You've already fallen to this level, and you still don't make progress. What's the point of being a duelist? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to go home and raise pigs? Or, with your brains, you can't even raise a pig?"
Everyone lowered their heads and was speechless.
I clenched my fists, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but finally let go powerlessly.
It’s not that I don’t dare, but I feel that what’s the point of refuting with words, no matter how many times I say it?
The best proof is to take practical actions and achieve real results.
Jia Jiao talked incessantly for a while, and some people were stunned by what he said.
Some people have strong psychological endurance and simply turn a deaf ear to it.
You can say whatever you want. Anyway, I will continue my training. As long as there are results, what does it matter if I get scolded a hundred or ten thousand times?
Lin You was also one of those who ignored Jia Jiao. He had strong psychological endurance and thick skin, but ignoring Jia Jiao's words had nothing to do with these.
It's easy to tell that Jia Jiao's words were directed at the group of "mediocrities". I, Lin You, have nothing to do with the word "mediocrities".
Isn't this obvious?
Any questions?
no problem!
If that’s the case, and he’s not talking about me at all, why should I care?
"Tomorrow, at six o'clock, training will continue as usual!"
As he said this, Jia Jiao glanced at some students who looked troubled and announced calmly, "We will not accept any requests for leave or opinions. If you have any objections, please withdraw from this training camp. No further explanation is needed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the fleeting thought of "slacking off" that some people had was immediately dispelled.
Immediately afterwards, some people quickened their pace and rushed to the cafeteria in an angry manner.
I'm tired after a whole day. It would be a waste if I don't eat and get drunk.
At this time, even if some people thought that there might be something wrong with the food, they no longer cared about it.
It’s nothing, I’m just too hungry!
Tired and hungry!
Shaping the magic shell in advance is really hard work. I always feel that it consumes a lot of energy, and it would be unreasonable not to make up for it.
As for fatigue, it’s actually not that bad.
I fainted for a few hours before, so I got some rest, although it was a bit strange. But this time, I felt more hungry than tired.
"Lin You, do you think this is another trap set by Instructor Jia to trick us into feasting?"
On the way to the cafeteria, Guo Rui's face was full of suspicion and he didn't even care about his rumbling stomach.
"Why, now you really have no confidence in Lao Jia anymore?"
Lin You joked, of course, having said that, he couldn't say he had much trust in Jia Jiao now, as who knows when, she might try to trick them again.
"What confidence!"
Guo Rui was speechless. "I'm almost dying. I've been exhausted both physically and mentally these past few days. I suspect I'll go crazy if this continues."
"Then can you still hold on?"
"You have to hold on even if you can't!"
Guo Rui sighed, "Who made me have limited talent? Unlike you, a super genius, how many people in such a huge city like Jiangcheng can match you? With limited talent, if I don't push myself, I will be completely wasted and end up being nothing."
"Actually, I'm not complaining. I'm just being suspicious and being more cautious. It's Instructor Jia who has tricked us so many times. Oh, and this morning, Xia Mu mentioned to me that there are indeed some problems in the villa. There might be some mysterious creatures that will invade while we sleep. You should know about this, right?"
Lin You nodded, "Of course I know."
Guo Rui hummed, then continued, "So, the fatigue we feel after waking up early every day is related to those mysterious creatures. Xia Mu said that the later we sleep, the less susceptible we are to the erosion. But if we really want to resist more, we have to go to bed at least after four o'clock."
"But if we go back to sleep after four, we'll have to get up at six. Even if the erosion is less severe, we'll still be tired. This might be okay for a couple of days, but if it continues for a long time, we'll be doomed sooner or later. It might be okay under normal circumstances, but this is the inhuman training period."
Speaking of this, Guo Rui felt a little tired. "It's not right to sleep, and it's not right not to sleep. I might as well sleep now. Maybe there's still some hope. Besides, a few of us can get together and take turns on duty. Each of us can sleep for a while. Anyway, the room can accommodate it."
“That’s a solution.”
Lin You initially agreed, but then added, "However, it might not work. We're still unclear as to the exact mechanism of the mysterious creatures' erosion. If they only care about whether their target is awake, then even if someone is on night watch, they probably won't be able to stop them. As for waking the person instantly, that's probably unlikely to work either. The room is limited, and the mysterious creatures should be eroding very quickly."
"However, if those creatures are afraid of awake people, this method is feasible."
"Anyway, it's worth a try, don't you think?"
Guo Rui blinked and said, "How about, Lin You, we bring one or two more people and sleep together?"
Lin You said nothing.
Guo Rui quickly added, "Don't worry, I don't snore when I sleep, and I don't have any bad health problems. Besides, we're taking turns on duty, and we didn't say we have to sleep together."
"Let's talk later."
Lin You replied casually, not that he really minded anything, but Guo Rui's plan was actually reliable.
In fact, on the way to the cafeteria, many people thought so and were ready to give it a try.
Although it may not work, if it does, it will solve a problem that may bother everyone for a long time in the future.
Still worth a try!
At this moment, Lin You was not in a hurry to give an answer, but was secretly contacting Li Ziqiu.
During the day, Li Ziqiu woke up.
I didn't ask in a hurry at that time. First, the little guy had just woken up, and I needed to give it some time to wake up and buffer. Second, the pressure resistance training of the light shield was about to begin.
However, there is no need to be so anxious. The trouble that interferes with sleep will only occur at night, so it is just right to ask about the situation now.
"Little guy, what happened that night? Why did you suddenly fall asleep for so long?"
Chestnut Ball fell into a deep sleep the night before yesterday and only woke up this morning.
Lin You spent the whole last night in 'Nammo'.
Of course, I took a nap during the day, so I was still quite energetic. At that time, most of the others were fighting against demons.
"Coolie~"
The chestnut ball flew out, in elf form!
He tilted his head, as if thinking.
After thinking for a while, he finally remembered something, but he gestured as he spoke.
He waved his claws for a while, then took a deep breath.
The little guy described for a long time, and Lin You listened quietly. After the little guy finished speaking, he was surprised.
Just as Lao Xia said, when he fell asleep, some special monsters invaded the room.
But the result of the invasion was that he was eaten by the little guy as a dessert...?
No wonder I didn’t feel anything unusual from beginning to end. The reason why the little guy fell into a long sleep was because he ate those monsters.
Those monsters seemed to have a way of devouring other people's spirits, but the little guy ate them directly. No wonder he slept for so long.
There won’t be any problem with eating it, right?
Lin You was a little worried and asked hurriedly. Although the little guy had swallowed dark bugs before, they were dark creatures and were originally its food.
These sleep-inducing creatures are not of the same kind and cannot be lumped together.
However, Chestnut Ball said that those creatures were quite delicious, but they were so delicious that they made him sleepy.
But now, after waking up from a good sleep, I feel full of energy.
Lin You was speechless, okay, you are awesome!
I figured out a lot of things and felt relieved.
From this point of view, Chestnut Ball seems to be able to deal with those sleep-inducing creatures, but Lin You is not going to let it do this easily again.
No matter what, negative impacts exist.
It is a bit abnormal to sleep for such a long time. It may not be as simple as just being sleepy.
Lin You was not going to let Li Ziqiu take the risk for him, but there were other solutions at the moment.
After thinking all the way, I arrived at the cafeteria.
As always, the dishes on the table can be called a "Man Han Banquet", with a large number of exotic dishes that we have never seen or even heard of in normal times.
This training camp, apart from other things, the food is really unique, nothing to say.
Even though it was not their first time, many students found it eye-opening.
Especially at this time, everyone was hungry. When they saw the food and smelled the aroma of the food, they all had their mouths watered.
Even some rational people couldn't help it at this time.
Of course, there are also people who would never eat it.
But these people would never come to the cafeteria to cause trouble and torture themselves mentally.
Self-discipline is easy to say but very difficult to do.
"Lin You, I suddenly feel a little regretful about coming here."
Guo Rui swallowed quietly. He clearly felt that there was something wrong with the food here, but he still came here.
I clearly made up my mind to eat just a little this time, just a little.
But now, why do I have the urge to "go on a killing spree" and eat as much as I want?
"Gululu!"
His stomach was rumbling in protest at the wrong time. Guo Rui steeled himself and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, never mind. I'd rather die full than die!"
As he said that, he rushed into a dining table and quickly started to sweep it all away.
"That's all I can do."
Lin You shook his head and looked at the table full of food. His appetite was indeed quite good, but he didn't feel that eager.
Unless, a temporary rule is set now.
Every time a dish is eaten, a certain amount of duel points will be awarded. Then Lin You can fight with all his might on the spot and ensure that he eats more happily than anyone else.
As for now... just eat something casually.
I am really hungry, but there is still a risk. If it is really not enough, the worst that can happen is that I can go back to the room and find some ham to make do with it.
…
After dinner.
Guo Rui was really obsessed with food, and Lin You didn't try to dissuade him. He said there was something wrong with the food, but wasn't that just speculation? Unlike the problem with the villa, it had been verified and there was solid evidence.
Just eat it, there are quite a few people eating it anyway.
He returned to the room first. It was almost seven o'clock at this time. Lin You rested for a while and started to capture the demon directly.
I have to continue training the magic shell tomorrow, so I have to recover as much magic power as possible.
But maybe it’s not that critical.
At least from today's training, magic is more like a buffer that helps them resist and adapt to pressure.
The real training of the magic shell is the pressure-resistance stage after the magic power is exhausted.
Besides, Jia Jiao didn't seem to have specifically instructed that the magic power must be restored to its peak.
That’s probably true!
Of course, some recovery is possible, but it would be bad if Jia Jiao deliberately deceived people without warning.
However, this is unlikely.
Although Jia Jiao was a bit deceptive, Lin You also understood that he was just using a relatively extreme method to help them grow.
The ultimate goal is to enrich their experience in dealing with things and improve their overall quality and ability!
I will never do anything just to cheat others.
At this moment, without thinking too much, he quickly entered the Namo state.
A few hours passed quickly.
Midnight.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin You was not surprised. He had stopped the demon on his own initiative more than ten minutes ago. Now, he went straight to open the door.
There were two people standing outside.
Xia Mu and Guo Rui.
"Coming?"
Lin You smiled, turned around, took out a kettle casually, poured three times the amount of warm water that had been boiled long ago, and placed it on a small table that served as a coffee table.
"Haha, let's test it today."
Guo Rui also smiled and said, "I hope it works. If this method works, we can sell this information to students from other universities. Maybe we can make a lot of money."
"Are you obsessed with money? You have a pretty good idea."
Lin You said with a smile, "There are probably quite a few people who have thought of this method of keeping watch. It's only been two nights. Needless to say, on the first day, no one was prepared, so naturally no one would have thought of it. As for last night, most people probably still didn't believe it, or didn't take it too seriously, but a few people may have already tried this method."
"That's not a good thing."
Xia Mu smiled and said pointedly, "If it really works, it will probably spread quickly. If it doesn't spread, it means that this method probably still has loopholes."
"Ah? Isn't that troublesome?"
Guo Rui had a headache and suddenly looked bitter.
“I think it can be improved.”
As soon as these words came out, Guo Rui immediately looked at Lin You and asked anxiously: "What, what?"
Lin You smiled and said leisurely, "It's very simple. While we're keeping watch, we can also release monsters to guard the place. If white stars don't work, we can use black stars. The only problem is that the space in this room is limited, and the monsters can't take up too much space. This is also easy to do. We just need to be flexible. We may not be able to deter awake people, but monsters are likely to be different. What do you think?"
“That’s a good idea!”
Guo Rui immediately expressed his support. Although his strength was a little weak, he had made a lot of money in collaboration with Lin You before, and he also had the Black Star Monster.
Otherwise, how could you have the ability to enter the advanced class?
Xia Mu also agreed: "Indeed, using the monster's breath to deter others should be more effective. Maintaining the summoning for an hour or so without fighting is not a big cost for us. What's more, we may really have some conflicts with those sleep-inducing monsters. At that time, it will be easier to deal with them if we summon the monsters in advance."
"Okay, how about you two go to bed first?"
After the plan was formulated, Guo Rui quickly spoke up. Seeing the two of them looking at him, he explained, "I'm the weakest, so taking the lead should be more helpful for the test. If even I can intimidate those guys, then the others can be even more effective. This will be more meaningful as a reference. Otherwise, there might be a certain threshold. What do you think?"
“That makes sense.”
Lin You thought about it and felt it was appropriate.
Xia Mu chuckled and nodded, also thinking it was okay.
However, suddenly, the two looked at each other and thought of something.
There is only one bed in this location!
"It's quite big."
Xia Mu smiled, obviously not taking this little thing to heart.
In addition, the bed is really big and it is very comfortable for one person to occupy it.
"Then hurry up."
Lin You had nothing to be shy about. There was no need for two grown men to be so particular about things!
Soon, the two of them lay down and found that the space was indeed spacious enough.
Not long after, he fell asleep quickly.
After a day, I am exhausted.
Seeing that they fell asleep, Guo Rui was not idle either. He hurriedly sacrificed the monster he had summoned in advance and summoned his own Black Star monster.
The moment the monster appeared, Guo Rui's eyes moved.
He noticed that there was a slight ripple on the wall.
Coming?!
Guo Rui's heart skipped a beat and he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
