Chapter 1 The sky in Jiacheng New District is a bright, sunny sky, and the people of Jiangbin City love it so.

After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, Jiang Xiao and the others arrived in Jiacheng, a city renowned throughout Beijiang Province.

This city is quite remarkable, known as the place in China that greets the sun earliest.

The use of the word "place" is quite clever. It's not truly the city that sees the sun first, but that city is under Jiacheng's jurisdiction, so...

Jiang Xiao didn't have time to greet the sun; the team got out of the car around 8:30 a.m. and rushed to the designated hotel to register.

When Jiang Xiao's team arrived, they found the place packed, with nearly a hundred people, probably more than the teams participating in the "Beijiang Province High School Professional League."

Although there were more participants, there were fewer cameras, indicating that the second wasteland reclamation competition wasn't highly valued.

Indeed, the second wasteland reclamation competition had few broadcasts. Compared to the previous provincial league, not many local stations broadcasted it because it wasn't eye-catching enough.

Simple racing and map drawing are tedious processes. To score points, students try to avoid fighting alien creatures and changing their population distribution and survival status, so the competition isn't very exciting.

If it were a national wasteland reclamation competition, with a special and rare alien dimension map, and letting the masters explore it, it might cause a social sensation.

But this provincial high school second wasteland reclamation event didn't attract much attention from society.

Back to the main topic.

Jiang Xiao found it very interesting that when they opened the hotel auditorium door, all the teams looked over, their eyes making Jiang Xiao's heart flutter.

Suddenly, there was a sense of familiarity. Why did it feel so much like a manga about laborers?

This chapter should be… the scene where ninjas from various countries come to participate in the Chunin Exams?

From the eyes of these children, Jiang Xiao saw envy, jealousy, resentment, expectation, and even wariness and fear.

Jiang Xiao saw so many emotions that he was dazed for a moment.

Undoubtedly, having just won the "Beijiang Province High School League" championship before the new year, they had become the focus of attention.

How come it suddenly felt like being a "big boss"?

Tsk, tsk,

This feeling...

Is actually quite good.

All of you, open your eyes wide! Recognize the name of the Poisonous Milk King. When you encounter me, obediently walk around!

Wait, the competition seems to prohibit contestants from fighting?

Uh,

Sorry, sorry...

Jiang Xiao suddenly remembered something, scratched the back of his head, and continued to maintain an innocent look.

The students were sizing up the legendary master team, while Jiang Xiao was also secretly scanning the room. His eyes immediately landed on the most handsome guy in the village—Zhou Cang!

Zhou Cang had obviously washed his hair today, and his mental state was very full. For this kind of gentle, artistic youth, washing hair and not washing hair are completely different.

He was seen with his long hair fluttering, occasionally flicking his bangs with his fingers, whispering something to the person next to him.

The person next to him, however, was not a member of his own class, but… Wu Haoyang from Xindanxi No. 11 High School?!

Jiang Xiao looked closely and realized it really was Wu Haoyang. How did these two get together? And they looked like they were having a pleasant conversation?

As expected, they were both strong and appreciated each other. These two rivals could actually talk and laugh so freely; they were indeed not ordinary people.

Jiang Xiao watched from afar as the two leaned together, standing by the window and whispering, feeling that the scene was very beautiful.

But An Luming, standing next to Wu Haoyang, was about to go crazy.

Wu Haoyang and Zhou Cang had their shoulders pressed against each other, neither willing to give way half a step, both smiling, looking like detached masters, not competing with the world, but secretly competing fiercely.

Zhou Cang: "First place is mine."

Wu Haoyang: "No, first place is mine!"

Zhou Cang: "Hehe, don't dream."

Wu Haoyang: "What's mine is mine!"

Zhou Cang: "Wake up, it's already dawn."

Wu Haoyang: "First place is mine!"

An Youyou: "Wu Haoyang, let's go, we already registered half an hour ago."

Wu Haoyang still stubbornly pressed against Zhou Cang's shoulder, with a smile on his face, whispering: "First place is mine, mine!"

Zhou Cang smiled, looking indifferent, shook his head gently, his dark long hair swayed, and faintly uttered a word: "Mine."

Wu Haoyang immediately replied with two words: "Mine! Mine!"

As if more words were more persuasive, Wu Haoyang suddenly turned to look at Qian Zhuang and asked, "Tell me, isn't first place ours?"

Qian Zhuang: "I, I, I, I, I..."

Wu Haoyang nodded heavily, with an approving look: "That's right!"

Zhou Cang: "..."

An Luming impatiently shook her bun head and stamped her foot: "So annoying, if you're not leaving, I'm leaving first."

With that, An Luming took the lead in leaving the scene, and An Youyou and Qian Zhuang hurriedly chased after her.

Nearby, Lu Jingfeng, Lin Zi, and Cheng Lu from Qicheng No. 1 High School looked at each other and also turned to leave, leaving Zhou Cang and Wu Haoyang to continue competing.

Before the two could continue, they felt a commotion in the auditorium.

Buzzing discussions were endless:

"This is the Jiangbin No. 1 High School god team. I finally see them in person."

"Wow, I finally saw the legendary Snow God~"

"Oh my god, she's too beautiful. What kind of fairy beauty is this..."

Zhou Cang and Wu Haoyang looked over at the same time and saw this team of "worries."

Although the two had been arguing for first place, in reality, the teams they belonged to were second and third.

The real first team had just entered the scene.

Jiangbin No. 1 High School had already won first place in the previous Beijiang League. If they won first place again in the second wasteland reclamation competition, they would solidify their position as first, at least leaving a record in the history of Beijiang Province.

Wu Haoyang and Zhou Cang looked at each other solemnly. After a long time, Wu Haoyang said in a deep voice: "First place is mine."

Zhou Cang: "..."

Among the vast number of teams, Jiang Xiao discovered another familiar team.

Jiang Xiao walked beside Han Jiangxue and whispered: "No. 3 High School is also here. Zhang Weiliang, Zhang Mingming, and Yu Zhen are all here, but they changed one person. It's a girl, I've never seen her before."

Han Jiangxue didn't look sideways and ignored the team, saying: "Ignore them."

Jiang Xiao and the others ignored the Jiangbin No. 3 High School team, but Xing Lang's team behind them exploded directly!

Everyone present was an awakened student, each with a high and proud heart. To be selected to participate in the competition meant that they were outstanding in their respective cities, so these students had a certain amount of strength.

Therefore, the hostility emanating from Xing Lang's team and the stirred-up star power were clearly felt by these students, and the atmosphere in the small auditorium changed instantly.

After all, this was the registration site for the "Second Wasteland Reclamation" competition, and the tense atmosphere was relatively less. Why? Of course, because the competition prohibits fighting between students.

But now, the appearance of Xing Lang's team was like a torpedo rushing into a school of fish.

What Jiang Xiao never expected was that Xing Lang was reckless enough, but his team member, the female mage Liu Chang, was even more reckless than Xing Lang!

Liu Chang's eyes were almost spitting fire, staring at Yu Zhen, as if she remembered the battle a few months ago.

In the final, Xia Yan solved Yu Zhen with one strike. For this, Liu Chang bought a lot of snacks for Xia Yan, sausages, potato chips, yogurt, etc., making Xia Yan feel very comfortable. It could be seen how much resentment Liu Chang had towards Yu Zhen.

Strictly speaking, mages like Liu Chang and Yu Zhen are basically strong offensively but weak defensively. In the Nebula stage, any attack from a mage's star technique is enough to determine the outcome of the entire battle. Therefore, although Yu Zhen's overall strength is much stronger than Liu Chang's, Liu Chang, who also had a chance, was really unconvinced.

Moreover, Liu Chang obviously couldn't control her emotions well.

Perhaps she thought that after several months, she would be able to face everything calmly.

But when she saw Yu Zhen's expressionless and arrogant face, Liu Chang found that the scenes of her being ravaged by the other party returned to her mind, making her more and more angry!

Finally, Liu Chang couldn't help but take action!

Yes,

A scene that stunned everyone appeared. Liu Chang actually took action!

Even if you take action in the competition, the highest penalty is just a deduction of points for violating the rules.

But you take action on Earth? In the registration hall?

Youth, ah,

Is really so passionate!

There's no need to fan the flames, it can burn on its own...

Even if Yu Zhen said "What are you looking at?", would you, Liu Chang, take action?

The problem is that she didn't say anything, didn't do anything, Liu Chang just held it in and "exploded."

It really is as the old saying goes:

Endure for a while and feel aggrieved, take a step back and get angrier the more you think about it.
