Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 461 - 456: Finals (Part 2)

Ji Ning finished distributing the equipment and then wandered over to chat with several other artificial NPCs.

Not only did he succeed in taking them away, but he also cleaned out the equipment in their vicinity.

The person in charge of watching the scene almost had a heart attack.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of shooting oneself in the foot.

A teacher asked in surprise, "Where are they going?"

Huang Ying, who was quite familiar with Ji Ning’s tricky maneuvers, said calmly, "They are closing the defense circle, forming a boss united alliance to give the students a lively outdoor survival class together."

Principal Zhang, who understood the thought processes of both people, felt so embarrassed he wished he could curl up into a shell.

Training with Ji Ning is an arena of "surprises," and competitions with Ji Ning...

Hehe...

Absolutely unforgettable for students for life.

...

As the competition progressed, students from each school began to leave the camp and explore more remote areas.

The map showed that the color areas corresponding to the students’ dots started to gradually expand.

This is also one of the competition tasks, expanding each safety zone’s territory and seizing more resources.

Students from each school need to clear unknown areas of mutant beasts, collect mutant herbs, expand outward, and establish a safety zone defense line.

These tasks are conditions for expanding your camp’s territory.

The students doing the tasks only have one life in the game, and if they are "killed" by monsters or students from other schools, they can only leave the game cabin and watch from outside.

An hour had passed since the start of the competition, and finally, a school suffered "casualties."

Moreover, three students exited the game cabin together.

The three of them didn’t look good, as this was a formal competition, and they hadn’t earned many points for their school before getting slapped out of the game by mutant beasts.

They thought they would see their guiding teacher’s slightly displeased face, but unexpectedly, there was no one outside the game cabin, while laughter was heard from a spectator room.

"Hahaha... Which school’s students got successfully ambushed?"

The three: ...

When they approached, they confronted their guiding teacher’s unrestrained smile with a mournful look on their faces.

The guiding teacher’s smile stiffened, and then he stood up.

He went over, patted them on the shoulders, and comforted, "You worked hard, you did pretty well. The competition score doesn’t matter; what’s most important is what you learned from it. Which lessons should you learn for next time..."

The three fell into a brief silence.

If they hadn’t seen with their own eyes that he had been joking with other teachers about them, they would have thought the guiding teacher in front of them was an "undercover" agent sent by another school.

Soon, they found out why the guiding teacher laughed.

Their hearts were filled with complex emotions...

"Hahaha, are they kidding? Do they think hiding in the grass means they won’t be found?"

"Laughing so hard, dude, look behind you to see if it’s a teammate or a boss monster..."

The three students followed in the footsteps of their guiding teacher, laughing while complaining internally, and took a secret pleasure in watching the misfortunes of students from other schools, feeling inexplicably relieved.

It turns out it wasn’t that I was too weak, but that the opponent was too strong.

"Teacher, can we also become NPCs?" one of the students raised his hand to ask.

The person in charge quickly declined, "We don’t have that many accounts. Next time, you’re welcome to come back and play anytime you want."

"Teacher Tan, I feel this game could develop a boss faction for the kind of confrontation we’re having now; it would definitely be exciting," another student suggested.

The person in charge’s eyes lit up and immediately praised, "That’s a good suggestion. I’ll mention it to the game company when I get back."

...

In the game——

The boss alliance composed of Ji Ning and other guiding teachers engaged in fierce battles with students from various camps.

The students from Anhe Middle School and Beijing No. 1 High School temporarily formed an alliance to jointly repel the enemy.

Lin Yuanyang, as the strongest brain, was the overall commander of the two schools, and Gu Sili was the deputy commander.

This alliance was also coincidental; both sides were initially exploring unknown areas outside and happened to run into each other.

Mainly, a three-person exploration group from Beijing No. 1 High School was being chased by a big boss.

In the end, they were rescued by the exploration team from Anhe Middle School, composed of Wang Hao, You Le, and Li Mu.

The six temporarily repelled that highly mobile boss and hid in an air-raid shelter.

With reports from other team members of being attacked, Lin Yuanyang and Gu Sili keenly noticed that the game bosses were different from those in previous training camps.

It wasn’t just regular changes like having high health and many skills, but more so changes in speed and agility.

They were almost supernatural, saying they were human wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

After collecting all the information, Lin Yuanyang deduced, "I suspect these big bosses are artificial NPCs, probably played by our camp teachers."

Gu Sili had the same suspicion, and after communicating, both sides quickly reached an agreement to form a temporary alliance.

The main goal was to work together to eliminate these artificial NPCs.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the boss alliance teachers also realized their little cubs seemed to suspect their identity.

They even temporarily set aside the competition tasks to form alliances between several schools and work together to hunt them down.

The defense circle of several boss teachers was getting smaller, and besides the agile "big monkey" Ji Ning, the health of the mutant beasts or mutant monsters they controlled was decreasing.

They had to make a tactical retreat or flee to the vicinity of system NPC mobs to seek assistance.

"Why do I feel like the Blood Queen who ambushed us earlier moved a bit like my guiding teacher?" a student from Beijing No. 1 High School asked suspiciously.

Gu Sili directly confirmed his answer, "It was Lao Li. Lao Li habitually raises his right arm in moves during training. When dodging, he also habitually steps back with his left foot first..."

The student was stunned and unhappily said, "What is he doing here? Just to cause us trouble?"

Gu Sili wasn’t worried about Lao Li; with so many people here, they’d grind him offline eventually, but he was just worried that Ji Ning was also online.

He looked seriously towards Lin Yuanyang, not far away.

"How likely do you think it is that Sister Ning is acting as an NPC?"

Lin Yuanyang was thinking the same thing and answered seriously, "There’s a high probability she’s online. If she’s in this area, we wouldn’t even last two rounds with her."

"So we need more allies, we have to unite with more schools," Gu Sili said in a deep voice.

Lin Yuanyang agreed with this point; an alliance was necessary, but even if they united all the students from every school, could they really defeat Sister Ning?

She’s the first female War God of the Hua Continent, a legendary figure among the three top forces in times of chaos.

But they still wanted to try...

"Gu Xiaosi, the communicator I’ve collected here can send a signal for up to 5000 meters, how about your side?"

"3000 meters."

"Alright, you cover northward, and I’ll cover eastward; we’ll take whoever is willing to join."

While the boss teachers were still discussing which school’s students to attack next, a school alliance led by Lin Yuanyang and Gu Sili quietly formed and even rapidly expanded to include students from all schools.

These students had already forgotten about the competition, as their hearts were filled with the belief in defeating the teacher bosses and the indignation of being fooled.

"Look quickly... they seem to be gathering."

The teachers and students outside watched as the dispersed little color dots on the map slowly gathered together, feeling indescribable emotions in their hearts.

Both gratified and worried for their colleagues.

"I hope they can withstand this wave of student anger."
