Volume 101: Chapter Brothers in Distress The perspective switches, and in the depths of a dense forest on a rugged area on an uninhabited island, rustling sounds continue to be heard. A hand that was obviously a man's reached out from behind the overgrown weeds on top of the mound and slightly pushed them aside. A face that was very familiar to everyone in the first grade appeared behind it. It's Ryuen Sho. Just as Wu Yi guessed, he did not leave the island and board the boat, but continued to lurk on the island. If someone was nearby and looked through the gaps in the weeds that Long Yuanxiang had pushed aside, they would have discovered that behind the mound was actually a small sunken basin with a small natural pond in the middle. However, since there is a lot of green plants around and the roads are difficult to walk on, generally speaking, not many people would come to this kind of place. There is also a tent, a portable shower, and a portable toilet in this small basin. These were the equipment that Class D had that the members of Class B saw on the beach at that time, but now they have been moved by Ryuuen Sho to this remote and inconspicuous place as the basic guarantee for his solo survival in the wilderness. But it is normal to do so. After all, these supplies were purchased through special examination points. As long as he is still in the examination period on the island, he can continue to use these things.
"Ah……" After confirming that there was no one around, Long Yuanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the grass back into a pile, returned to sit on the tablecloth in the middle of the basin, and took out a painted map of the uninhabited island from the package, and crossed out two locations on it. Those are the bases of Class B and Class C respectively. After doing all this, Long Yuanxiang opened the tent door sideways, took out a box of completely cold lunch, and began to eat while thinking about the map. Where on earth did the damn Class A hide? Since the first day of the exam, Ryuen Sho has been constantly thinking about this question. However, now it is already the third day of the exam, and there is still no sign of anyone from Class A showing up, not even a hint of news. Could it be that they all became moles and dug holes? Whenever he thought of this problem, Ryuen Sho had the urge to smash the table. In fact, he was only half right about Wu Yi's guess about Long Yuan's battle plan. It is true that Ryuen wanted to use this method to gain the 150 points for guessing the class leader in the final stage of the exam, but this was only one of his goals, or in other words, compared to the other goal, these 150 class points were just a bonus. Ryuen Sho is a person who is cruel to others and even crueler to himself. According to his original ideal plan, he was going to find Class A first to sign an agreement, transfer 200 points of supplies to Class A in this exam, and keep only 100 points for himself to let the people in his class happily play on this island for a day, and then let everyone except himself and Ibuki Kaneda return to the ship. In exchange for this, each member of Class A must transfer 20,000 personal points to Long Yuan every month. In other words, as long as the contract is not terminated, the income from these 200 class points will be permanent. And according to the rules, since scores cannot be deducted as negative, even if he squandered all 300 test points and let the other 37 people return to the ship, the most he would end up with would be no increase in class points. And if you can achieve the ideal outcome and find the leaders of the other three classes, you can get another 150 class points on top of that. One hundred and fifty class points plus the twenty thousand individual points per person per month in Class A, if we are not too picky in the calculations, it means that Class D can gain a full three hundred and fifty class points in this exam. But what about other classes? Daily food and drink alone would take away at least twenty points a day, which would be one hundred and fourteen for seven days. If one chose not to guess other class leaders out of caution, then at most one hundred and sixty would be left, plus the test points earned from punching in. Besides, how could it be possible to spend only the points for food and drink? The two tents distributed by the school were for eight people each. If you squeeze in, maybe ten people can lie down, but the problem is that there are forty people in a class.
Are we going to let the remaining 20 people sleep in the open air? And what about bathing? Going to the toilet is also a hassle... And so on. It is very difficult to have 100 left at the end of the calculation, not to mention that if the class leader is accidentally guessed, it is possible that there will be no point left and it will be a complete waste of time. Therefore, as long as they can proceed according to the plan, even if they only complete the first step, Class D will most likely become the biggest winner in this exam. Then the problem came. He didn't find Class A at all... Long Yuan's plan was blocked when it was just the first step. The entire Class A seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. No matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find a single person. Instead, time passed by little by little. It wasn't until the second day of the exam that Long Yuan, who still couldn't find anyone, finally lost his patience and simply spent all the remaining exam points. After letting everyone have one more day of fun, he sent the thirty-seven people back to the cruise ship, while he and his two other confidants stayed on the island to carry out the second step of the plan. Now, the only thing Long Yuan can count on is the 150 points of profit from the leader. "Ibuki, Kaneda... don't let me down." Staring at the red cross on the map, the Internet Cafe God of War muttered to himself. …… At the same time, at the foot of the cliff where Class A's Katsuragi faction was stationed, coughing sounds that seemed to be coughing out the lungs echoed throughout the camp. "Ahem...Mashima-sensei, ahem...Is this supposed to mean I can't continue with the exam?" Totsuka Yahiko, who was barely able to stand with the help of Katsuragi Kōhei, looked pale, covered his mouth, looked weakly at the silent homeroom teacher in front of him, and said in a weak voice. In order to be judged as unable to continue taking the exam as soon as possible, Yahiko Totsuka has been almost committing suicide by committing crazy self-mutilation these days. For example, deliberately eating abnormally, only drinking cold water, and always wetting hair with water before sleeping. In short, after this series of unremitting efforts, he got what he wanted and lived up to everyone's expectations... he caught a bad cold. Looking at the student in his class who had been weakened by illness, Tomoya Mashima frowned with a hint of pity in his eyes, and he nodded. "I understand. I will report to the school immediately. It should be approved soon. However, you will have to discuss with Hashimoto and the others about who will take over as the leader..." "No need~ We have already discussed it. Our Sakayanagi faction will completely withdraw from this exam." A frivolous voice was heard, and the bushes surrounding the camp were pushed aside from the back, and the Sakayanagi faction, led by Hashimoto Masayoshi, strode into the base without any concealment. Faced with the sudden appearance of the Sakayanagi faction, Katsuragi Kōhei was filled with surprise. And Hashimoto Masayoshi just responded with a casual smile. "I'm sorry, we stayed here for a few days just to observe and confirm that you, the Katsuragi faction, will take responsibility. But since Katsuragi-san really intends to take responsibility, there's no need for us to stay with you any longer." "Then, we will wait leisurely on the boat for good news from you, Katsuragi-san~" “Hashimoto…” Due to extreme anger, Totsuka Yahiko's face, as white as gold paper, showed a sickly flush. "Are you Sakayanagi-faction really going to do this?"
"……what are you saying?" As if he couldn't understand, Hashimoto Masayoshi shrugged and spread his hands. "Besides, we are doing this to reduce the burden on Katsuragi-san. You should know that this is already the third day of the exams. The daily food consumption for so many of us will reach 20 points, which means that the original 120 points will only be 60 points after today. If you deduct the 30 points you gave for withdrawing from the exam, Totsuka-san, there will only be 30 points left." "In other words, even if we don't quit, Katsuragi-san will be forced to run around for the class's meals after tomorrow." "In that case, why don't we just withdraw from the exam and let Katsuragi-san exchange all the remaining points for supplies before we withdraw from the exam? In this way, not only can we return to the cruise ship first, but Katsuragi-san can also be greatly relieved of pressure because of these supplies, right?" "This..." Totsuka Yahiko was speechless for a moment. "Yahiko, what Hashimoto said makes sense, just do as he says." Gently placing his broad hand on his best friend's shoulder, a hint of determination flashed in Katsuragi Kōhei's eyes. "All of you can quit the exam now, and leave the rest... to me!" ￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥ Eh, if I teach Ibuki the dark sleeping technique, then wouldn’t that mean… hehe… hehehe… Ibuki will lock me… Volume 102: Chapter : The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind Time flies and another three days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Long Yuan's mental exhaustion became increasingly severe. He had to stay in the camp for a while so he couldn't go out for the first two days, but during these three days he had been searching for Class A with all his might, almost searching the entire island, and confirming all the bases except for Class BC from a distance. There is absolutely no one from Class A! This made Long Yuan so puzzled that he almost went crazy. He really couldn't understand how a class of such a large size could manage to remain silent on this island. Even if we hide in a cave, we should at least send two people to guard the door, right? No! There is none at all! Not a single person! What was even more annoying was that he couldn't get closer to check. After all, if people from other classes found out that he was still on the island, his operation would be deemed a failure. Before we knew it, time had quietly come to the evening of the sixth day. According to the school's arrangement, the exam would be over at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. However, just when Ryuuen was almost helpless and furious, he unexpectedly received a call from Ibuki. Because he didn't need to sneak into other classes, he always carried his walkie-talkie with him. When he heard a sound coming from inside for the first time in six days, Ryuuen was almost ecstatic and grabbed the walkie-talkie to answer it, then switched to his usual low voice. "Hey?" "it's me." From the other end of the intercom came Ibuki Mio's rapid but not disorderly breathing. It seemed that she was hurrying on her way, and she lowered her voice. "I have taken a picture of the leader of Class B with my camera, but they found me while I was taking the picture. I have just escaped from their camp. I didn't see the name clearly because I took the picture in a hurry. It seems to be Hori something. Do you know him?" "……do not know."
Ryuen Sho was not surprised that the other party would say something like taking a picture with a camera. He had bought this camera at the time using twenty exam points. There were two cameras in total. In order to facilitate spying on his class, Ibuki and Kaneda each had one. "It doesn't matter. As long as we've taken the photo, let's get rid of them and meet at the place we agreed on before." "understood." After briefly answering on the intercom, Ibuki cut off the signal. Upon receiving the news, Long Yuan also stood up and prepared to head towards the agreed location. But before he had walked halfway, the voice on the walkie-talkie rang again. However, this time it was no longer Ibuki Mio's voice, but Kaneda Satoru's. He seemed to be running for his life as well. Perhaps because he was not as strong as Ibuki, his voice on the intercom sounded a little breathless. "Ryu-Ryuen-san! I got the key card for Class C! We just escaped from their camp!" "…Wait, you said you got the key card? How did you get it?" Ryuuen suddenly stopped when he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. This was such a coincidence. Just as Ibuki took a picture of the name of the leader of Class B, Kaneda got the key card of Class C. Such great successes did not go to his head, but instead made him alert. "Uh, it's Ichinose from Class C..." Kaneda began to speak intermittently. "She said that today was the last day anyway, so she took the whole class to the beach to play and take photos. I was originally invited, but I sneaked back when I saw no one was paying attention. Since there was no one in the camp, I searched around in the tents to see if I could find any clues. Unexpectedly, I found the key card... Oh, the name on it is Chihiro Shiranami." "...Shiranami Chihiro?" After listening to Kaneda's description on the other end of the intercom, Ryuen couldn't help but be speechless. If the situation wasn't wrong, he would have laughed out loud at Ichinose's incompetence and Wu Yi's lack of wisdom. So I'm going to perform the Empty City Strategy for him here? Old Zhuge Liang! After all the twists and turns, didn't he succeed in the end? Indeed, everyone would think that something as important as a key card would be carried with them, but who would have thought that it was actually placed in the tent. As for the reason, it is probably very simple. It is just that it is inconvenient to wear sportswear when playing at the beach, and there is no place to hide the key card if you only wear a swimsuit, so just leave it in the camp. "I don't know, but they can't forge the key card, right?" Kaneda's words completely dispelled Ryuen's last bit of vigilance. Although he knew the other party couldn't see him, he still nodded slightly through the intercom. "Got it. Let's meet up at the agreed location. Ibuki and I are on our way there too. Victory will belong to our D class." "learn!" After ending the call again, the three of them headed towards the same place to meet up. It took nearly half an hour for Long Yuan to arrive at his destination. It was an extremely tall fir tree, about 40 meters high. It would take at least four or five people to hug it. Such a size could barely be considered a landmark on an uninhabited island covered with primitive jungle.
Under the cedar tree, Ibuki Mio had already arrived and was leaning against the trunk, slowly adjusting her breathing. When she noticed Ryuuen's arrival, she took out her camera and handed it to him. There was only one photo in the camera memory. It seemed that Ibuki climbed up the tree to take the photo when no one was paying attention when Class B was clocking in. The ultra-high-pixel lens clearly captured the name on the key card. ——Horikita Suzune. "Well done. This way Class B will lose the fifty points they worked so hard to save." After looking at the photo, Long Yuan smiled coldly. Ibuki Mio seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, the sound of messy footsteps suddenly came from not far away. It was Kinda Satoru. He had obviously broken through his own limits and ran all the way here. Before he could hand over the key card, he fell to the ground with a thud. He struggled for a long time before he got up and handed the card to Ryuuen.
