A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 782 - 768: Competition Rules Upgrade
It was just as Baiyu had guessed.
On the first night, as he was washing up at the sink in his room, clear water formed rows of text on the basin.
At the same time,
Loloya's voice echoed in his mind.
"Taking the actual situation into account, the format of this competition has been extended to a month. Those who survive will receive abundant rewards from me.
Additionally,
whatever you obtain in the Yellow Sand Realm, you can bring out with you.
There are many great things in this world, and whatever you can take away is yours.
A word of advice:
Many items do not exist in our main world."
After speaking,
the water traces gradually disappeared.
Baiyu digested the information as he continued to brush his teeth.
Judging from Loloya's tone,
it seems death in this world really means no coming back.
Even if one could survive, there would surely be penalties.
In any case, dying here would definitely not be pleasant.
Baiyu stretched his arms and lay down on the simple bed, swiftly falling into a deep sleep.
In the dead of night,
the door suddenly creaked, opening slightly.
Baiyu awoke with a start.
It's An Hongye!
He instantly recognized who it was.
Yet...
he couldn't fathom why she would come in the middle of the night.
Baiyu quietly tightened his grip on Shark Bite, ready to fire at any suspicious movement before him.
"You're awake?"
An Hongye's voice came in the dark, and then she rolled onto Baiyu's bed.
Uh...
Baiyu instantly realized what she intended to do.
"Miss, please behave yourself."
He pinned An Hongye's shoulders down on the bed, rendering her motionless.
"Can't you be a little gentler? Don't worry, I won't hold you accountable. Do you think I'm an easy woman?"
"That's not the reason; I'm just not interested in such things. Please understand."
Baiyu held her shoulders.
An Hongye, utterly immobilized by his strength, finally gave up, storming angrily out the door.
Being refused in this way,
she felt both frustrated and humiliated.
...
Early the next morning,
Baiyu donned casual attire and accompanied An Hongye to Wildfire's medical room.
After last night's awkward encounter, An Hongye's gaze was full of resentment as she looked at Baiyu today.
But,
private life is private,
work is work.
She only sulked for a moment before returning to her usual self.
"You need to take two vaccines: one for radiation protection and the other against pollution viruses. Though you're a mutant, you still need vaccine protection."
An Hongye explained about the two syringes' contents to Baiyu in the medical room.
Baiyu nodded.
After receiving the vaccines, he felt significantly more spirited.
The initially rising pollution levels also started to recede gradually, showing significant effect.
This stuff,
is really great.
He never thought a Tidal World could produce such things, no wonder Loloya said there are many treasures here.
"The Anti-Pollution Elixir is indeed effective, but what about the Genetic Elixir?" Baiyu pondered.
He felt that the Genetic Elixir surely would enhance combat strength.
Earlier, An Hongye mentioned that in the Wildfire Base, there's a Level Three Genetic Potion called "Gun King."
He just didn't know how effective it truly was in combat.
"Here is your Identity Card, you're now a member of Wildfire!"
After completing the vaccinations,
An Hongye handed the Identity Card to Baiyu.
The people at the base generally had assignments, as maintaining such a large base with over a thousand people's logistics and operations is no simple task.
In other words,
there's no room for slackers in such an environment.
Baiyu was quickly assigned to his work post.
Due to his abilities,
he was enlisted into an external team with An Hongye.
The team consisted of five people.
Besides Baiyu and An Hongye, there were two other women and a man, all members of the external team.
Wildfire didn't just have one external team.
An Hongye had been pursued earlier also because of an external mission.
As for the specifics,
An Hongye soon explained to Baiyu.
Since the subsequent operation required his help, Baiyu's strength was crucial to breaking the deadlock.
"They discovered a resource outpost left from a pre-Wasteland era?"
Baiyu was somewhat surprised.
It seemed,
this Wasteland World hadn't existed for long, perhaps just a few decades.
Otherwise, over time, those items would have weathered away completely.
"The resource area is in a forest a hundred miles south of the base, teeming with mutated beasts.
When I went to investigate,
I discovered one of the company's teams also noticed this area.
You know the events that followed."
In the operations room, An Hongye pointed to a simple map, drawing red circles on it.
Their next action would be tomorrow.
The target was still this resource area.
Having suffered a loss previously, Wildfire this time planned to dispatch twenty action teams.
That's a hundred people.
This scale and strength could take down a small gathering place.
A single operational plan consumed several of Baiyu's hours, and with the remaining time, he took a tour of the entire base.
He acquired a basic understanding of the Wildfire organization.
No Martial Artists.
Nor any Superpower Users capable of utilizing Spirituality.
The ability Baiyu showcased when killing those soldiers was comparable to a Tier Six Martial Artist.
Tier Six Martial Artist…
Even a Tier Two mutant seemed hardly to be a threat.
The night passed without incident.
Baiyu kept an eye on the competition's progress while preparing for missions with An Hongye.
A day had already gone by.
No further competition updates.
However,
as night fell, Loloya's voice sounded once more.
It was still the kill list.
But this time, far fewer people had died, only four over the entire day.
It seemed everyone had adapted to this world's survival rules, not seeing the mass fatalities of the first day.
After joining Wildfire, Baiyu faced much less danger.
He also received the vaccines against radiation and pollution.
Looking at it now,
joining was indeed a wise decision.
This undoubtedly increased survival chances considerably.
...
On the third day,
Baiyu was awakened early, finding three heavily armored trucks ready outside the Wildfire base.
A group of seventy to eighty people had gathered.
By the time Baiyu arrived, almost everyone was there.
"Let's go, get in the truck. If we seize the resources this time, Wildfire will expand again. We'll recruit more people, and possibly overthrow the company."
An Hongye confidently stated.
Baiyu, however, lacked optimism about the upcoming mission.
According to An Hongye's account, the company's strength far surpassed that of a resistance organization.
The company had already discovered the resource site earlier.
There's no way they wouldn't send a large force to contest it.
