I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 73: Battle Royale

At that moment, Qiao Suisui was somewhat surprised because the person in front of her seemed very solemn and emitted an oppressive aura, but his spiritual power was nonexistent.

As soon as she had entered the hall, several currents of spiritual power quickly enveloped her. After confirming her level and threat, they promptly faded away. Although those males didn't say a word, their gazes clearly meant, 'You're too weak; I don't want to bother,' and 'Ah, so weak; absolutely not a threat.'

This experience was unprecedented for her and was the only time, besides when she was accidentally affected by Ruka's intimidation, that she had exchanged spiritual power with others since awakening her own. That feeling was too magical, something she had never experienced as a female.

Actually, Qiao Suisui didn't know that this was how male Beastmen usually greeted each other. However, when it came to females, Interstellar had clear regulations that males should not casually release their spiritual power. Coupled with the moral shackles of society, if a male tried to probe and envelop a female with spiritual power, he would be condemned to social death for they considered such males to be frivolous and not serious.

But how could this person, who clearly seemed very strong, have a lower spiritual power level than her own?

"Ah, sorry, I stepped on you." Her voice, altered by the Voice Changing Pills, no longer had its natural gentleness but sounded like a clean young man who had just gone through puberty.

Anubis merely nodded slightly and then withdrew his gaze, not looking at her anymore. Unless necessary, he wouldn't interact with anyone—knowing more meant exposing more risks.

"My name is Qiao, nice to meet you."

"Hmm."

"What's your name? We might be classmates in the future."

Anubis glanced at her coldly, noticing her face filled with anticipation, her black pupils bright and clear as if they could cry at any moment. He indifferently withdrew his gaze and after a long moment, in the noisy crowd, he quietly uttered one word, "Bi."

This was the name his father and Uncle Siwoen often called him when he was little, always 'Little Bi,' 'Bi,' at that time everyone thought there was hope in life…

Unlike the youth's gloom, Qiao Suisui tilted her head and smiled, bright and cheerful—her mood greatly improved having come out here.

"We both have one-word names."

Could his also be a false name? She joked to herself.

Suddenly, a feedback screech from a microphone sounded on the hall's stage, and then a square-faced, stern-looking man stood at the center of the stage and addressed the thousand freshmen below.

"The theme of this test: Survival Game. Rules: There are no rules. Objective: Survive till the end. Okay, begin now."

A speech that began and ended abruptly and shockingly, without even a prelude. The males below mostly had not reacted, some looking at each other, some frowning in confusion, some looking lost. Amidst the crowd, someone shouted, asking, "Then how do we pass?"

"Since it's a game, what's most important?"

After saying this, the man in the center walked straight off the stage, leaving the baffled freshmen behind.

"What the heck, why leave without clarifying?"

"Damn it, I bet on the wrong thing every year."

"So what do we do now? Did he just say to start?"

Amidst the crowd, Qiao Suisui looked towards the boiling hall, silently lowering her eyes in thought.

What's most important in a game?

Perhaps it was a hint left by the person who set the question.

Anubis calmly observed everything around him, first fixing his gaze on the windows and doors. Since it was a survival game, escaping would mean victory, but he didn't act immediately.

Clearly, many quick-reacting Beastmen thought the same; they quickly rushed toward the hall's main door, wearing smug and triumphant smiles.

"A bunch of idiots, thinking too complicated, just do it."

A monkey Beastman had already run to the door and without hesitation, opened the door and went out, as if sprinting to the finish line. The moment he stepped out, he lost his footing and, screaming shrilly, plummeted down.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

"He fell down? How could this happen?"

"What happened?"

Subsequently, several more Beastmen, running too fast to stop, also fell out the door, while those who had been slower to follow were lucky enough to save their lives.

"It's a Bottomless Pit down there!" someone yelled from the edge of the door.

A few brave Beastmen cautiously looked down to find darkness all around outside the door, as if the entire hall was situated within a black sphere hanging in the air.

"But when we came here, it was clearly a garden path, weren't we in the Interstellar Strategy Academy?" someone shouted, grabbing his hair and losing control of his emotions.

A few agile Beastmen had already climbed up to the windows. With the lesson learned, they didn't jump down right away but observed and then shouted, "There's a Bottomless Pit outside the window, too; we can't go that way."

Anubis watched as several Beastmen started to break down, screaming 'Let us out,' yet he remained as calm as if he were emotionless. Qiao Suisui was equally composed in the face of danger, she had already thought of escaping through doors and windows but had not acted rashly.

At that moment, a voice came through the hall's speakers, "Survival kits will now be distributed, group up, minimum number: 7 people. Form your teams freely."

Aside from those who were already acquainted, everyone else was still dazed by the situation; however, Qiao Suisui had rapidly located those who, like her, had been calmly observing the situation.

One was the person next to her. There was also a group of people, each of them over six feet tall, well-built, with bronze skin, and various mysterious totems painted on their faces.

She reached out to them with her spiritual power to greet them.

The group of five nearby immediately turned their attention to Qiao Suisui. The man in the center had white spells painted over his brow and around his eyes and was clearly the one with authority in this small group. Beside him, a male whispered in his ear, "Jie Jin, don't burden ourselves with her."

All five, hailing from the pure-blooded lineage of the enthusiastic Ma family, bore facial totems symbolizing their respective branches. The Ma, who prefer to herd, are large, enduring, and valiant. Although they do not strictly adhere to the lion Beastman belief of the survival of the fittest, they still have a hierarchy of disdain, and a C-grade like Qiao Suisui did not fit their criteria.

Jie Jin glanced at the slender young man, whose eyes were filled with determination and sincerity. Then he stepped forward, and, startled, the others followed him.

"You want to team up with us?"

Qiao Suisui nodded, her self-awareness about her capabilities clear, so she had to concisely show the benefits she could bring to this small team to avoid being left out.

"I have space; take me with you, and I will be useful to you."

Nuowei and a few others were surprised, sizing her up and down skeptically said, "Just you?"

Qiao Suisui didn't utter a word but immediately took out a reward from the storage compartment provided by the System. Everyone saw a Water-shaped dagger appear in the palm of her hand.

"Nuowei, she seems to indeed have space," remarked another.

Nuowei, feeling rebuked, was about to protest further but shut his mouth obediently when he saw Jie Jin's hand gesture.

Jie Jin said, "Okay, we still need one more."

Qiao Suisui grabbed Anubis's wrist beside her and said, "We are two."

Anubis was taken aback, he hadn't expected her to include him.
