Ji You fell silent for a while after hearing the information brought back by Shen Changqing and others, stroking his chin and saying, "From the looks of it, there is nothing significant within a hundred miles."
What does it mean that nothing significant was found?
It means they can’t guess Teacher Mu’s tactics.
If they can’t guess the tactics, they can’t be prepared in advance, and if they can’t be prepared in advance...
"Not good." Ji You frowned and asked, "Little Zhouzhou, did you just say that 200 kilometers from the camp, there is a large pig farm?"
Xuzhou nodded: "Yes."
Immediately, he asked puzzled, "Why is that not good?"
Here on NY50 Star, it’s a planet integrated with both planting and breeding, and there’s a pig farm nearby, so why is that bad?
Not only Xuzhou, but others also looked at Ji You.
Ji You furrowed his brows and said, "What I meant by ’not good’ isn’t about the pig farm, it’s that we don’t know what Teacher Mu really wants to do. I initially thought that this place would be like the freshman practice field, requiring the students to engage in battles according to their groups, and thus there would surely be a large practice field nearby, but—"
Shen Changqing said, "But, there isn’t."
Ji You replied, "Exactly!"
Yue Qiguang heard ’pig farm’ and his eyelids wouldn’t stop twitching: "Don’t really make us raise pigs."
Last time at Taoyuan Space Station, being forced to assist a pig in birth had already made Yue Qiguang’s hair fall out, so now, he was absolutely unwilling to raise pigs.
*Ahem, ahem, ahem...*
*Spit, spit, spit...*
*Childish talks!*
A group looked at Yue Qiguang irritably, with Ji You even more frustratedly saying: "Yue Qiguang, you know that your words are annoying, so talk less!"
Yue Qiguang scratched his hair forcefully and loudly said: "Where did dad’s words annoy anyone?"
Everyone unanimously replied: "Everywhere!"
Yue Qiguang: "..."
Yue Qiguang became withdrawn.
Ji You turned to Zhang Ye, asking: "Is there a large chicken farm 300 kilometers from the camp?"
Zhang Ye shrugged helplessly: "Absolutely true."
Ji You stroked his chin: "To the east and south, there are breeding farms. To the west and north, there are crop farms. The middle of the northwest is the meat warehouse, and to the southeast is the grain warehouse."
"Ahem!" Ji You coughed fiercely and also somewhat irritably grabbed his hair: "What the hell! Does this look like a military academy assessment base?"
Zhang Ye muttered in agreement: "Yeah, this is totally a standard Agricultural Star."
Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing... When everyone squatted down, frustrated and pulling their hair along with Ji You, only Sheng Qingyan nonchalantly said: "What are you worrying about? Maybe it’s just the simplest task of asking us to farm. Why think so much? Like me, Little Cutie, I never ponder these things—just eat, drink, play, and sleep..."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone simultaneously stopped pulling their hair and turned to Sheng Qingyan: "What did you just say?"
Sheng Qingyan: "I said just eat, drink..."
Everyone: "Shut up! The sentence before."
Sheng Qingyan immediately became reluctant to repeat and pouted: "Don’t remember, figure it out yourselves."
Ji You and the other nine people ignored Sheng Qingyan, looking at each other, and suddenly said in unison: "If they really let us farm, wouldn’t that be too boring?"
Zhang Ye: "Right!"
Lance: "Boring!"
Yue Qiguang was most devastated, with a faint urge to burst out in anger: "Dad’s forty-meter Big Saber was all prepared for cutting down Star Beasts, and now dad is expected to farm?"
Yue Qiyuan glanced at his foolish brother and didn’t say anything unnecessary.
Xuzhou and Shen Changqing appeared relatively calm.
Lou this big guy, after pacing in a circle, sighed slightly: "Fine, if it’s raising pigs, then I’ll raise pigs. I’ve done it once before anyway."
Chu Jiaojiao clenched her fists and said, "There’s no way I’m raising pigs, I only know how to slaughter them!"
Ji You gave everyone a glance and said, "Alright, alright, stop guessing, time is almost up, let’s quickly head back to the camp."
No one dared to delay and hurriedly ran towards the camp.
Upon arriving at the camp, the time used was exactly 39 minutes and 59 seconds. Mu Jianling glanced at the timer, said nothing, but the expression of regret on her face made Ji You and the others’ back teeth hurt.
Ji You, thick-skinned, approached and said, "Teacher... Our group completed the task perfectly, so... you see..."
[It’s time for some benefits.]
Ji You threw flirtatious eyes at Teacher Mu crazily—
Unfortunately, Mu Jianling was completely like a blind man, ignoring her completely, and said, "Alright, no delays, get lost."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a deep breath and said, "Teacher... How about a little compensation for running errands?"
Mu Jianling looked straight at Ji You and said indifferently, "You ran errands voluntarily, it wasn’t me who forced you? What compensation do you want?"
Ji You: "..."
Mu Jianling waved her hand, shooing them away like flies: "Hurry up and scram! Otherwise, I’ll change my mind and forcibly take the water and biscuits in your pockets!"
Ji You: "..."
All ten people in Ji You’s group opened their mouths and shouted, "Fuck!"
Mu Jianling frowned and started counting: "1-2—"
In an instant—
Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang... all ten people disappeared in less than a second.
Hiding in their quickly constructed shelter, Ji You couldn’t help but pat his chest, still terrified, "That was terrifying! Is she a devil?"
Yue Qiguang and others: "She’s definitely a devil."
Shen Changqing whispered, "Walls have ears."
Yue Qiguang and others: "Cough cough... How could a devil be on earth? She’s an angel!"
Shen Changqing was somewhat speechless and shut up.
Sheng Qingyan’s beautiful face was now scrunched like a bun: "I’m so sad, I called him ’Black-faced Brother’ for so long, and I didn’t expect him to betray us in the end..."
The six bottles of water and six packs of military biscuits were begged from the Black-faced Soldier guarding the storeroom; the leak could only have been him. Otherwise, how could Teacher Mu possibly know?
Thinking of this, everyone felt a bit depressed.
Ji You said, "It might not necessarily be Black-faced Brother deliberately leaking the info, it must have been requested by Teacher Mu."
Ji You really trusted the character of that three-star warrior.
Thinking over it, Ji You said, "I guess you’re not hungry right now, so keep these bits of food and water with me for now, don’t touch them, let’s see how easily we can get food tomorrow."
They had to start being careful with resources from now.
Regarding this, no one had any objections.
Following that.
Ji You said, "It’s getting late, everyone rest well to face tomorrow’s assessment."
The shelter constructed by Ji You’s group had walls, a roof, and a door, but it was still very rudimentary with not even a bed inside; they could only make do and nest for the night.
The boys, all sprawled on the grass, that was that.
Leaning against the wall and covering herself with a jacket, Chu Jiaojiao suddenly giggled, opened her arms towards Ji You, and said, "Ji You, at this moment, I want to tell you something—my arms are always open for you."
Ji You: "..."
