The teachers originally thought the elimination wave would only last for a while, and that once most of the examinees had experienced one or two battles, the number of eliminated people should sharply decrease.
However, to their surprise, as time passed, the number of eliminated examinees not only did not decrease but actually increased.
"What's going on? Who eliminated you?" one teacher couldn't help but ask his student.
This student had A-grade talent and was a top performer in his class. The teacher had high hopes for him, believing that with effort, he might even squeeze into the top five hundred of the Copy. He never expected him to be eliminated so quickly.
"Wen Xiangjie! I was eliminated by Wen Xiangjie!" the examinee cried, tears streaming down his face.
"Wen Xiangjie? Did you know her before? Did you have any conflict with her?" the teacher asked, puzzled.
"I don't know her at all!" the examinee said, looking wronged. "Who knew why she attacked my farm? I was instantly killed by her, and I didn't even see her shadow from beginning to end."
"If you didn't offend her, why would she attack you?" the teacher grew even more confused.
"Who knows! It's not just me; Zhao Yujie and Qi Feng were also eliminated by Wen Xiangjie!"
"What? Wen Xiangjie actually attacked so many examinees?!"
The same conversations occurred between many teachers and students.
News of Wen Xiangjie simultaneously attacking a large number of examinees also spread.
"You were also eliminated by Wen Xiangjie? Me too!"
"How did she manage to attack so many people at the same time?"
"Exactly, the magical deed's description doesn't even mention this function. Is Wen Xiangjie really cheating, like modifying the code?"
"Do you think the Game Copy is an online game? How could anyone cheat!"
"Wen Xiangjie must be crazy; how dare she attack so many examinees?"
Even the teachers' expressions were not good.
"It's over. With Wen Xiangjie here, this elimination cannot be stopped."
"She wouldn't be trying to eliminate all the examinees, would she?"
"Looking at this momentum, it seems so. She might think that the strongest farmer needs to eliminate everyone, but there's no need for that at all! As long as she has the most farms at the final settlement, that's enough!"
"Sigh, this student is a bit too eager for quick success. Eliminating so many examinees doesn't benefit her. Didn't she notice anything strange about this Battle of the Strongest?"
"Hmph, when she can't defeat the boss in the end and her settlement points plummet, she'll learn her lesson!"
Hearing that Wen Xiangjie had incurred public wrath, Lin Zhaokai and Bao Yunjing, among others, were secretly delighted.
Especially since they knew the final boss required all examinees to resist together.
If Wen Xiangjie eliminated all the other examinees, then she would have to face the final boss by herself.
Wen Xiangjie's strength was indeed great, but that was only compared to them, the examinees. Before the final boss, she was nothing!
The day Wen Xiangjie was eliminated, they would personally wait at the Copy entrance to watch her being miserably kicked out of the Copy!
Inside the Copy, Wen Xiangjie was still mass-eliminating examinees.
Although one magical deed only cost 5,000 gold coins, Wen Xiangjie was eliminating most examinees by herself, so the gold coin consumption was still very fast.
Outside the Copy, more and more examinees were being eliminated, and almost all of them were eliminated by Wen Xiangjie.
Now everyone knew that Wen Xiangjie's goal was to eliminate all examinees except herself and claim the title of Strongest Farmer.
The examinees simply didn't leave; they gathered in the open space, loudly discussing and cursing Wen Xiangjie.
At this moment, Wen Xiangjie was having lunch with Emos.
"Wen Xiangjie, is that you? This is Zhao Qiqi."
Suddenly, Wen Xiangjie heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"Um, I don't mean anything else, I just wanted to confirm if you're the Wen Xiangjie I know," Zhao Qiqi said cautiously.
Wen Xiangjie could hear the sincerity in Zhao Qiqi's words.
She put down her chopsticks, picked up a drink, and switched to the battle with Zhao Qiqi.
"Is there something?" Wen Xiangjie asked curiously.
"It really is you!" Zhao Qiqi's eyes lit up, and then a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Seeing you do so well in the Magic Farm Game Copy, I feel relieved." After saying this, Zhao Qiqi realized her words sounded a bit strange and quickly explained in a panic.
"What I meant was, I'm really sorry that I was afraid of offending the Lin family and didn't dare to lend you my talent to copy. I felt very guilty, like I was aiding evil. Now that I see your talent won't be taken by Lin Zhaokai, my guilt has lessened a lot."
Out of consideration for Zhao Qiqi being a sincere young girl, Wen Xiangjie replied to her.
"We are just strangers. You don't need to be responsible for a stranger's life. You couldn't afford to offend the Lin family anyway, so protecting yourself was the right thing to do. Put away unnecessary sympathy. When you can fully control your own destiny, then think about these messy things."
She waved her hand dismissively at Zhao Qiqi and exited the battle with Zhao Qiqi.
If she didn't hurry back, Emos would eat all the soup dumplings.
Although she could order more if they were finished, the feeling of snatching food was even more delicious.
Zhao Qiqi, who had been eliminated, appeared in the open space at the Copy entrance.
"Kiki!" Zhao Qiqi's best friend, An Yuejun, saw Zhao Qiqi and quickly ran over, helping her up from the ground.
"You were also eliminated by Wen Xiangjie?" An Yuejun quickly asked.
"Also? Junjun, you were also eliminated by Wen Xiangjie?" Zhao Qiqi asked back in surprise.
"Yes." An Yuejun pouted, "Not just me; most of the people in this open space were eliminated by Wen Xiangjie."
Zhao Qiqi looked around and found that the open space was already full of people, with only a central spot left for newly eliminated examinees.
"Come on, let's go chat over there. Don't block the spot for the examinees who will be eliminated later." An Yuejun pulled Zhao Qiqi towards the edge of the open space.
"Why are these people gathered here? Didn't the teachers say to leave quickly after being eliminated and not stay at the Copy entrance?" Zhao Qiqi whispered.
"They are all waiting for Wen Xiangjie to be eliminated so they can mock her. The teachers also seem a bit dissatisfied with what Wen Xiangjie is doing, so they're just turning a blind eye to their lingering," An Yuejun also whispered back.
"Wen Xiangjie eliminated us by her own strength, so why should the teachers be dissatisfied with her?" Zhao Qiqi frowned, "Where are the invigilators? Aren't they going to do anything?"
