"Stop right there!!"
Wang Tianwei bolted like a rabbit with her backpack, the wolf leg meat weighing over five catties wrapped up and stuffed into the bag she had just retrieved.
'I'd be crazy to stop!'
Wang Tianwei thought indignantly.
This was nothing like the college life she had imagined!
Even if the class atmosphere wasn't that harmonious and friendly, they shouldn't be chasing her down to "kill" her like this, right?
They've been chasing her for so long, and they still haven't given up!?
"Huff! Huff!"
The four-person squad behind her was also extremely frustrated. If they had known, they would have been more careful and not alerted her...
But that girl was overly alert. She spotted them before they even got close!
After that, the two sides engaged in an hour-long chase...
The problem was, didn't Yama Chao say she only had B-grade abilities!? How come an A-grade like him couldn't catch up to her?
The sky was already quite dark. If it weren't for a beastman in their squad who could clearly smell the bloody scent of meat on Wang Tianwei, they probably would have lost her long ago.
How could someone with such short legs leave them so far behind!? No wonder she was worth 20 points!
The squad leader Shi Hong didn't know the reason, but the viewers in the live broadcast room saw it clearly.
"She only steps on fallen leaves and grass, makes a sharp turn every hundred meters or so, and dives into any woods she sees... What exactly is the Eldest Miss's background?"
"I suggest a strict investigation into Yida Technology!"
"Applying what she learned to this extent... I can't even remember the textbook stuff this accurately."
"She just finished killing a star wolf and ran for this long? The Eldest Miss's physical stamina is definitely beyond B-grade!"
Wang Tianwei was fleeing purely on instinct. By now, her brain had stopped working.
The food she ate at noon had long been digested. After battling wits and courage with the star wolf just now, she ran into classmates who wanted to use her to farm points on her way back.
After one day, she felt like she had aged in reverse... because she was tired like a dog!
Several times when she was about to be caught, she almost wanted to turn around and shoot!
But they were just classmates. Yama Chao's words echoed in her ears repeatedly:
"When dealing with your classmates, you guys shouldn't be crazy enough to use firearms, right?"
That was clearly meant for her!!
Wang Tianwei gritted her teeth, tasting rust in her breath.
It had been a whole afternoon, and she hadn't even had time to drink water!
She had sprayed herself with scent-masking agents. Logically speaking, under such a dark sky, the people behind shouldn't be chasing so tightly!
She knew it was because of that wolf meat... but she really couldn't bear to part with it!
She had worked so hard to hunt it! She was counting on this little bit of meat to replenish her energy for the next three days!
She couldn't spray scent-masking agents on food... If worse came to worst, she could only do that...
Wang Tianwei fled frantically through the dense forest, with the squad behind her biting tightly onto her trail.
"Huff, puff! I can't do this anymore!"
A skinny boy in the team was the first to give out, slowing down his pace.
He only had B-grade mental strength... but Ran Caizhe felt like he and Wang Tianwei weren't even in the same B-grade tier!?
Did that zebra-head never get tired!?
Squad leader Shi Hong had long heard his breathless panting and didn't urge him to push harder. Instead, he turned his head and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Find a place to set up camp! Start a fire, and wait for us to come back for you!"
"Huff!... Okay!"
They were still chasing!?
Hearing the shout behind her, Wang Tianwei felt nothing but despair. She had no choice... She made another turn and ran toward a direction she knew!
The sky had turned completely black.
"Wang Tianwei... stop running!! There are so many of us, you can't get away!"
The person in front turned a deaf ear.
Shi Hong's squad had actually completely lost sight of her, relying entirely on the nose of their half-beastman classmate Dodd to lead the way.
But as the group chased to the riverbank, Dodd crouched down and sniffed the mud by the river.
"The scent stops here. She went into the water..."
"Damn it! Does she have to go this hard!?"
Shi Hong couldn't help but stomp his feet.
Another A-grade female student rested her hands on her knees, panting.
"Forget... forget it. We forced her into the river... Who knows if she'll be okay, being a girl."
Shi Hong couldn't help scratching his scalp.
"Who wanted to force her!? Being caught wouldn't hurt her anyway. Who knew she'd go to such lengths?"
The half-beastman stood up and looked at the calm water surface.
"Going into the water at night, if she doesn't dry off in time... she'll get sick, right?"
"...The way you guys talk makes me sound like a scumbag... Aren't I doing this for the credits too!?"
The female team member walked over and patted their captain's shoulder.
"We know, we know. Everyone is doing it for the credits, no one blames you! Since she went into the water, it's so dark we probably won't find her. Ran Caizhe was left behind just now, so let's head back first."
The squad leader then reluctantly started walking back.
"Sigh, Teacher Chao... with this kind of game rule, I didn't want to chase a girl like this either..."
The half-beastman Dodd honestly added insult to injury.
"The main point is that we still didn't catch her."
"..."
The few of them walked back relying on the light from Winnie's flashlight. After walking only a few hundred meters, Shi Hong completely lost his way...
It was the half-beastman who sniffed out their companion's scent again, allowing the three to stumble their way back.
"Oh my god! We almost got lost."
Ran Caizhe had already started a fire and pitched the tent.
"Didn't catch her?"
"She went into the water."
"..."
The four-person squad was enveloped in an eerie silence. Everyone was reflecting on the fact that, for twenty credits, they had ruthlessly forced their female classmate into the river...
The freshmen couldn't hide their emotions on their faces, making it obvious to the people in the live broadcast room.
"Oh my, the juniors are feeling guilty!"
"Haha~ So cute!"
"Don't worry, the Eldest Miss won't blame you!"
"Right! If you want to blame someone, blame Yama Chao! Only a ruthless person like him could come up with such twisted rules!"
"Looking at them, I'm reminded of the days when I still had a conscience... My heart feels so soft."
"And now, on the training ground, I just want to kill those cockroach-like classmates..."
However, the bullet screen on Wang Tianwei's side had a completely different vibe.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Tragic! Absolutely tragic! Looking at her makes me feel like failing my class today was nothing!"
"The person above better go prepare for the makeup exam!"
"Help! The Eldest Miss's hair is all messed up, she looks so creepy..."
"...Evil spirits step back."
"The junior needs to warm up by a fire quickly!"
Wang Tianwei scrambled ashore in a sorry state and struggled to pull her backpack up...
She collapsed by the river like a dead dog and rested for a long time, completely exhausted... Fortunately, the river current wasn't very fast, so it didn't wash her too far away.
Even so! Because she had to hold onto her gun and backpack, she almost didn't make it!
After resting a bit longer, the cold became unbearable, so she rolled over and climbed up from the ground.
Since she was already by the water, she simply washed the wolf meat and other ingredients clean, and then walked a few steps upstream to fill her water bag.
Before leaving, she took off her fish basket, threw it into the water, and made an inconspicuous mark on the riverbank.
When she set up camp later, she really wouldn't have the energy to make another trip...
The soaked backpack was at least twice as heavy as it was during the day! It bent Wang Tianwei's waist.
Even so, she didn't dare to camp by the river. She took a bite of a carrot to replenish her stamina and decided to walk further inland to take a look...
