130 – Seizing Tokens!
After the first person submitted, it’s natural for the second and the third to follow. If they don’t want to be eliminated due to hunger, they can only agree to Xia Ping’s conditions.
Thus, 100 odd people who came to look for trouble with Xia Ping agreed to his demands and became temporary lackeys.
Next, Xia Ping ordered Han Shan and them to give everyone a cup of instant noodles as salary in advance.
Suddenly, a spectacular scene appeared at the villa. 100 odd students are squatting on the ground, eating instant noodles, and even showing happy looks on their faces. It’s as if this were the happiest moment of their lives.
Some students even chocked with emotion and cried.
“My god, I never knew that instant noodles were this good. They’re simply delicious.” A student sighed, and tears welled up in his eyes.
A nearby student looked at the cup of instant noodles in his hands emotionally and sighed: “Right? The soup, the noodles, the seasoning, it’s simply the most delicious thing in the world. No chef can replicate this.”
“Before, I misunderstood them as being junk food and looked down on them. But it seems that I was greatly mistaken.”
Other students nodded one after another. After starving for a day and a night and still hanging in the air for an entire night, they were already going crazy. To put it a bit more hyperbolically, even if they had bark to eat, they would think of it as potato chips, let alone tasty food like instant noodles.
“In that case, we have to thank Xia Ping for making us understand the value of food.”
“Thank my ass. I wish I could put him in a burlap sack, drag him into a remote alley, and give him a good beating. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have fallen so low as to think that a cup of instant noodles is delicious.”
“He made us this miserable, and then gave us a cup of noodles, and you want to thank him? Why are you so cheap?”
“Sorry about that. That guy is my classmate. He just came out of a mental hospital and went to participate in the competition without taking his meds. But rest assured, there’s nothing wrong with him except a slight mental health issue.”
“Drat, this is a big issue. What if we suddenly can’t tell friend from foe and beat up our own.”
The students secretly talked among themselves in hushed voices, afraid to be caught by Xia Ping and beaten.
Therefore, they only dared to complain and curse secretly like this.
Naturally, Yang Wei, Gao Wan, and others who have enmity against Xia Ping saw this via the live-stream.
“Xia Ping, that wretch! Take a look at what evil deeds the scoundrel has done this time!”
“Right? These are top students with pretty good background. Even if they don’t eat exotic foodstuffs from distant locations every day, they must have three course meals at the least. But look at how Xia Ping starved them, to the point that they shed tears while eating a cup of instant noodles.”
“If Xia Ping is allowed to be the boss of a company, who knows what kind of exploitation its employees will be subjected to. If they are given some instant noodles, those employees may really shed tears of gratitude and treat him as if he were a god.”
“He’s a modern day Zhou the flayer [1]. If you dig out his heart, I’m sure it’ll be all black.”
“To tell you the truth, I’m also stingy. I never turn on the air conditioner in the summer and use cold water in the winter to save electricity. A piece of clothing can last me 10 years. When I eat out, I lick the plate clean. But I wouldn’t stand being this miserly. This bastard is clearly a slave driver who works people to the bone, yet doesn’t let them eat their fill. This is inhumane.”
Gao Wan and the others rebuked Xia Ping and scorned this guy’s character. If they were present, they would certainly shout at the top of their lungs and lead the people to rebel against the tyranny of this bastard.
…………
Half an hour later, the students finished eating their cup of instant noodles. But it wasn’t enough to fill them. They could only recover a little strength. However, at least they aren’t as hungry as before, where they could hardly lift a finger.
In the mean time, they also treated their wounds. They can now display 60% to 70% of their fighting strength. As martial arts experts, they possess formidable physical constitution. Some minor injuries are nothing to them.
In fact, these students are not seriously injured. If they were seriously injured, they would have been eliminated already and wouldn’t be able to stay here.
“Alright. Now that everyone has finished eating, let’s get to work.” Xia Ping stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the students.
A student blinked: “Work? What work?”
The other students were also confused.
“The work of seizing tokens, of course!”
Xia Ping’s eyes shone brightly. Since more than a day has passed, in the entire simulated city, there must have been people who have seized tokens from monstrous beasts already.
Even though the monstrous beasts guarding the tokens are powerful, but the students don’t have to fight them to the death. They just have to seize the tokens next to them.
Therefore, if you use a trick to lead the monstrous beasts away, you can easily obtain the tokens.
Although this sounds simple. But in fact, it is extremely difficult to do this. It requires a powerful martial arts cultivation base, a tranquil mind, a smart head, and so on.
However, since the students who are able to participate in the high school martial arts competition are top students of their respective schools, they are naturally excellent. There is not a small number of students who can do this.
However, don’t think that its over once you get a token from a monstrous beast. After all, the token is equipped with a positioning device that tells all students its location.
Therefore, once a student seizes a token, the nearby students will rush at them and besiege them from all directions.
There will be no peace until the match is over.
That is to say, only those who can withstand the siege of countless students and still keep the token are qualified to enter the top 16. This is overwhelming strength that no one can dispute.
“Big brother, I’m done with the investigation.”
Feng Hetang came forward at once: “In the vicinity of the 8th area, it looks like three people have seized a tokens. They are moving frantically to avoid the siege of other students.”
“Perhaps we can attack these three people.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Ping smiled lightly. The reason why he didn’t beat these students until they were eliminated was because he wants to use them to get the tokens.
With the help of so many people, the students who have seized a token will have nowhere to escape!
“Alright, let’s deal with these three!”
Xia Ping looked at the students: “If we get the three tokens, then I’ll only take one of them. The remaining two will be given to the two who have contributed the most. You have my word.”
What?!
The students were excited when they heard that. The reason why they haven’t given up yet is because they hope to get a token and enter the top 16.
If they relied merely on themselves, they may not be able to get a token. But if they have the help of others, it actually may be possible to get one.
Their thoughts fluctuated. Although Xia Ping is using them, but why can’t they take this opportunity to use this guy and get a token?
Once you get a token, you can just run away immediately. The bastard won’t be able to do anything to you.
All of a sudden, the students’s mentality changed. They were no longer half-hearted as before. This is a great opportunity.
“He’s the devil!”
Feng Hetang and company sighed ruefully. By painting a rosy picture, he was able to make this many students work for him. They haven’t realized that the tokens are like the reflection of the moon in a body of water — unattainable.
