Cheng Haoyue made the decision: "Let’s go!"

He Yu hesitated a bit, primarily because she wasn’t good at close combat. If she encountered a group of people as soon as they arrived at the opposing side, wouldn’t she be in danger?

She didn’t want to be eliminated.

At least, not eliminated so quickly.

He Yu put a lot of effort into this competition. Her school is located on a remote planet in the Fourth Star System, called Kolas Star. It is not the Administrative Star of the Fourth Star System, and due to the planet’s relatively poor resources, it neither has scarce mineral resources nor suitable conditions for farming natural plants and raising natural animals. Therefore, the economy of Kolas Star isn’t prosperous, and the citizens’ living standard is actually at a low level within the Alliance.

But!

He Yu’s family condition belongs to the wealthy class on Kolas Star, and coupled with her good talent, she has always received strong support and cultivation from her family. Being able to represent the school in the competition this time is because she is indeed considered a genius of the Combat Department at the Korasi Star Military Academy.

The living environment combined with the acquired training and the smooth circumstances she has always been in have made He Yu a rather arrogant person inside. She has always felt she truly deserves the title of ’genius’.

It’s precisely because of He Yu and 9 other students’ unremitting efforts that their Korasi Star Military Academy defeated other powerful competitors in the star system, becoming one of the 100 schools representing the Fourth Star System in the competition.

However, before departure, while He Yu and the other 9 students were full of ambition, eager to achieve a good ranking to bring honor to the school and themselves, her mentor, whom she had always respected greatly, suddenly told her privately not to worry, just do her best, and even if she really made an effort but lost, she shouldn’t regret it.

Upon hearing this, He Yu was furious inside.

Would she lose?

She was so strong, how could she lose?

The mentor seemed to know what she was thinking and sincerely said at that time: "The competition students are numerous aces; our Korasi Star Military Academy’s strength isn’t prominent, so as long as we try our best and are cautious and careful, it’s already a victory to earn more time for you and other students."

How did He Yu respond at that time?

She remembers that she just lifted her chin with quite some confidence, saying: "Others are strong, but I am strong too! The battle hasn’t started yet, how can we admit defeat in advance? No matter what, I absolutely won’t fail."

After speaking, she stormed off indignantly.

He Yu was truly angry then. She was upset at how the mentor could say such discouraging things that uplift others and degrade herself?

How could this be?

He Yu clenched her teeth, secretly swearing that she must last long in the competition and live well, not for anything else, but just to slap her mentor’s face.

Of course, if she achieves a good ranking in the competition, her position in the family will become more consolidated, with resources increasing more than before...

If she achieved a good ranking, not only would she gain personal benefits, but her school would also receive more attention and reputation, possibly attracting more excellent students to apply, which would be wonderful.

...

In short, He Yu valued this competition greatly and wanted to achieve a good ranking, which depends on living longer than others...

Following Ji You to the enemy camp, what if they get eliminated early?

He Yu was very conflicted, indecisive.

At this time, it seemed Cheng Haoyue saw through He Yu’s thoughts, suddenly saying: "Being able to stand in this area, none of us is mediocre. If you want to be safe, choosing the conservative method is, of course, the most appropriate."

He Yu, Liu Jia, and Wang Xin were silent upon hearing this.

"The premise is, if you are willing to be mediocre." Cheng Haoyue’s tone turned serious, saying: "But today I tell you, points are not easy to acquire. If you want to earn points, this will be your best chance, maybe even the last chance."

Cheng Haoyue said: "Enough said."

Once finished.

Cheng Haoyue didn’t hesitate, stepping into the water.

At this time, Ji You and He Nu had already swum to the middle of the river. Hearing the faint sound of water from behind, Ji You knew she made the right bet.

Cheng Haoyue wouldn’t give up and would also try to persuade He Yu and others.

seconds later, Ji You agilely climbed ashore, He Nu following closely behind.

Next, Ji You unfolded her clothes again, changed into them, but still didn’t move. He Nu asked: "Ji You, are we not going over immediately?"

Ji You said: "Wait for them."

He Nu was slightly puzzled and asked: "By teaming up, defeating those 5 people is not difficult. Why wait for them?"

Ji You smiled and said: "More people means better outcomes."

He Nu was more confused, whispering: "But their abilities are not outstanding; what’s the difference if you add a few more of such people?"

In other words, there isn’t even one who can fight.

What use can such teammates have?

Ji You smiled: "Precisely because their abilities aren’t outstanding, they’re the best."

He Nu: "..."

Ji You smiled: "Having too high ability, they wouldn’t listen."

He Nu: "..."

Could it be, she’s really just looking for a few obedient, compliant ones?

Ji You said: "Here they come."

Cheng Haoyue quietly climbed ashore.

Next.

Were He Yu, Wang Xin, Liu Jia.

The clothes of He Yu and the others didn’t have waterproof features, all drenched at the moment, Ji You said: "Dry your hair, follow me. When I tell you to stop, you stop. Without my order, don’t come out or speak."

To prevent mishaps, Ji You gave clearer instructions this time, detailing the actions the few were supposed to take.

No one had any objections.

Keeping a short distance from the small outpost where the 5 people were, separated by a small hill, Ji You led them for a while, waiting at a spot with higher terrain, able to overlook the enemy camp from beside a stone, Ji You stopped, saying to He Yu, Liu Jia: "He Yu, Liu Jia, Wang Xin, the three of you with wet clothes and hair, hide here and don’t make any movements."

She spoke in a whisper.

The three listened, although not completely understanding, they generally knew their clothes would easily reveal they had been to the riverside and inside the river, what if exposed?

This arrangement seemed reasonable.

The three didn’t express objections.

Next.

The three hid behind the big stone, initially thinking Ji You would lead everyone to quietly approach, but surprisingly, in the next moment, they saw Ji You leading, together with He Nu and Cheng Haoyue, heading straight for the enemy camp without any concealment all the way.

Liu Jia’s mouth twitched slightly and said: "She’s doing this and not fearing a backfire."

Wang Xin said softly: "Feels like she’s treating the enemy as idiots, really thinking of going over like this, fooling them?"
