Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 479 - 474: The Final Match (Part 1)

Huang Ying knew that Ji Ning had already made a choice in his heart, so she didn’t continue to persuade him. She just said, "It’s better to seek the opinion of the person involved."

After hanging up the phone, she already knew that this trip to the West Continent wouldn’t be simple.

Huang Ying took out her darts and dagger, which she had carried with her for years, and wiped them with a cloth, muttering to herself, "You guys want to be sharpened too, don’t you?"

...

The competition started in the afternoon.

You Le led the team along with other school students into the rainforest area.

This area wasn’t fully accessible during the training, but now it had finally opened up all sections, including two regions with a higher danger level.

One contained Initial-stage Mutant Beasts, and the other had dangerous rainforest predators.

schools entered the rainforest area from different entrances.

If it weren’t for the competition, the students would never have known there were over 20 exits leading to the outside world.

The NPC leading Anhe Middle School was a Superpower Teacher wearing half a mask.

He wanted to play his role as a guide responsibly, but being naturally bad at acting, he recited his lines like he was reading a book and often stumbled and forgot his words.

The students secretly chuckled but dared not interrupt his impromptu performance.

"Ah... brave warriors, ahead of you lies the place... uh... world you shall conquer. Please raise your weapons and with... um... courage, step into the rainforest and bring back your glory... that’s not right... your honor..."

Bai Xiaotang couldn’t hold back her laughter and tried hard to cover her mouth, saying, "Guide, please continue..."

The Superpower Teacher couldn’t continue acting either, so he simply gave up: "Cough... dear students, I won’t recite the lines anymore. Let me summarize: I have three levels of tasks here, S-Class, A-Level, and B-Level. You choose the task level you want to complete, and based on that, I’ll take you to different areas.

Once you enter the rainforest, you might encounter some minor incidents. These could be deliberately set up or occur by chance. If you encounter them, don’t panic or run around in the rainforest. I’ll guide you to complete the tasks and also ensure your safety. Can you handle that?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The group of six from Anhe Middle School nodded.

The Superpower Teacher breathed a sigh of relief as long as he wouldn’t have to recite those awkward lines anymore.

"Three tasks, you choose: S-Class task [Rescue the Missing Trish], A-Level task [Gather One Strand of Mutant Beast Hair], B-Level task [Collect Rare Rainforest Butterflies]."

The six people’s expressions slightly changed; the Mutant Beast task wasn’t the highest level task?

What was the S-Class task then?

Lin Yuanyang asked, "Can we take on all three tasks together?"

The Superpower Teacher was momentarily stunned, then nodded, "You can."

"Then we’ll take them all."

The others had no objections; they had already discussed this before entering.

To compete for the championship, they had to take on all three tasks and perform outstandingly.

"Which task area will you go to first?" asked the Superpower Teacher.

Lin Yuanyang replied, "B-Level task area."

The Superpower Teacher led the six people to the riverbank and pointed at the small boat moored near the shore.

"Get on the boat, and we’ll take the water route."

The six nimbly hopped onto the small boat, with the Superpower Teacher boarding last and paddling for them.

The boat barely accommodated all six of them, but their backpacks looked a bit bulky and made it a bit cramped.

Before entering, they needed to select what to carry with them in the preparation area.

Based on previous training experiences, each of the six had chosen a large backpack filled with all sorts of rainforest exploration essentials.

Although the competition time wasn’t long, the environment inside truly mimicked a large tropical rainforest. Not only had they transplanted tropical rainforest vegetation, but they also simulated the variable climate and temperature of the rainforest.

Upon entering, they immediately felt a humid heat.

Now on the boat, the humidity in the air felt even higher.

As the boat ventured deeper, the river mist grew thicker, and a white haze enveloped everything.

The six dared not let their guard down. Anyone who has watched rainforest exploration movies knows that at times like these, there’s bound to be something in the river, whether it’s crocodiles or giant pythons.

Although they felt that the organizers wouldn’t go that far, what if?

What if the organizers decided to spice things up for them?

Lin Yuanyang constantly monitored his radar and extended his spiritual power beyond the boat.

Suddenly —

Lin Yuanyang detected something black swiftly swimming toward them.

He immediately warned, "Caution ahead, something’s approaching."

You Le and Wu Muzhe, sitting at the front, immediately grabbed their spears and cautiously watched the water’s surface ahead.

The Superpower Teacher initially wanted to scare them according to the plot, but seeing these six students being so alert, he felt a slight regret.

When the black crocodile was about to hit the boat, You Le was already poised with the spear, ready to thrust into the river.

The Superpower Teacher hadn’t expected this girl to be so fierce and quickly controlled the boat’s speed. He pressed the remote control in his hand, causing the biometric black crocodile in the river to halt immediately, then roll to the side, dodging the sharp spear.

He rushed through his lines, saying, "Oh my, it’s the fiercest man-eating crocodile of the rainforest. You guys go quickly; I’ll deal with it and meet you in Butterfly Valley."

After saying this, he jumped off the boat and engaged in an intense battle with the black crocodile.

On the boat, Lin Yuanyang: ...

His superpower was somewhat special; when the Superpower Teacher pressed the remote control, he already sensed that the crocodile in the river was a toy crocodile.

However, he stayed silent and let everyone row the boat tensely.

The narrow river ahead suddenly sped up, and without needing to row, the boat sped forward with the rushing river current.

Everyone nervously gripped the handrails inside the boat.

After rapidly navigating a few bends, the boat finally flew off a two-meter-high cliff.

"Ah——"

Bai Xiaotang and Xu Jiaying screamed out loud.

They were lifted off their seats, bouncing upward. Luckily, they had seatbelts on and were tightly holding the handrails.

The boat, propelled by inertia, traced an arc and fell heavily into a huge lake, splashing over three meters high.

The group of six was drenched thoroughly by the lake water.

Sitting at the front, You Le wiped her face and spat out several times.

The person at the front got hit hardest by the water waves. You Le felt like she drank a lot of water.

"Look, the environment here feels quite like a paradise..." Yan Song, sitting at the back of the boat, suddenly said loudly.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction he was pointing.

Misty fog drifts among towering, straight trees.

Huge green leaves seem to cover the entire sky; brilliant sunlight filters down through gaps between the leaves, casting light beams, draping this green kingdom with mysterious veils.

"Heavens, that leaf is so big, it feels like it could cover me."

"The air here is so fresh, take a few deep breaths."

Everyone marveled and wished they could use their phones or Smart Brain to capture these beautiful moments.

But due to the competition, they didn’t bring them.

They only had wireless communicators at hand.

Lin Yuanyang glanced at the cliff behind them. It was realistically constructed with rocks from the rainforest.

The rapid river water cascaded from the cliff into the lake, like a ribbon of water falling into the calm lake.

It created a small ripple that quickly expanded outward, becoming calmer towards the edges.

The lake was living water, and though the flow wasn’t fast, their boat drifted automatically in a certain direction.

After surveying the surroundings, Lin Yuanyang pointed at a nearby shallow bank. "Butterfly Valley should be nearby; let’s dock the boat onshore."
