Chapter 620 Climbing High
Ask A, well... let's call him that for now, what kind of feeling is he experiencing right now?
It's quite complicated; in just a few weeks, his views changed and were reversed repeatedly.

He thought he had really met a powerful patron, and not just any powerful patron, but a different kind of one.

He initially joined the group simply to avoid elimination, without much hope. After all, in this situation, he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone others, much less help them. Not taking points from others was already a sign of kindness.

Xiao A initially guessed that the other party intended to use him as cannon fodder, or simply wanted to recruit a lackey as a stepping stone. He thought that although he had lost his freedom, if he could follow behind and get some scraps, he wouldn't expect to make a living. At least he would be able to get recruited.

But who would have thought that she didn't even cook any broth? She simply took the pot and devoured everything in her path, leaving nothing behind. Not only did she eat it herself, but she also shared it with others, regardless of whether they could finish it... Seriously, he was almost moved to tears.

Moreover, his boss, the candidate whose random code ended in 395, has a special skill. This guy really knows everything; what he saw back then was just the tip of the iceberg.

It turned out that the props he saw on her were all made by herself, using whatever materials she had on hand, creating freely—no, it should be said that she did whatever she wanted.

He had never seen anyone like this before, who could use a leaf, a branch, or even a small piece of bark as a prop.

He watched as the other man crafted his own axe, tinkered with simple carrying racks, and even made practical tools like nets or baskets woven from plant fibers and wood roots, all for navigating the forest.

The other person's ideas were also very diverse and flexible, making it seem easy for the two of them to walk through this unpredictable forest.

Of course, A knew this had nothing to do with him, because not long ago he thought this forest was huge and unpredictable, and could be swallowed up at any time, but now he felt it was nothing special.

All of this was brought about by 395. The other party was practically a walking cheat code, while his underling was completely useless. Even when trying to pick up scraps, he could barely manage to do so. At this moment, Xiao A felt extremely useless.

But what good would knowing do? The big shot clearly didn't care, continuing to drag his wrecked boat through the forest, hacking and slashing. Even someone like Little A, with his skill level, had personally chopped down three or four giant exotic plants.

Of course, that was with the other party's help. If he were to face those terrifying creatures on his own, he would probably go weak in the knees in a second.

Moreover, compared to harmless plants, vines, or fruit shells, the weapons dropped by these lethal creatures are far more advanced. They retrieved guns, alloy daggers, firearms, and other more practical items from them, instantly reducing Jiang Hui and her companions' weight considerably, as they discarded some large and useless tools.

But I have to admit it's really awesome. Good heavens, who would have thought that he would be living like he was playing a video game in the national college entrance examination, a process that all intermediate students struggle with? And in such an easy mode at that.

But he has a little bit of trouble now. His new boss is really too capable and keeps moving forward tirelessly. He feels that his weak body is really not able to keep up with the amount of exercise.

"Hey, no, let me rest, please let me rest." Little A was panting heavily, supporting his back. He felt like his health bar was almost at rock bottom, he was completely exhausted.

He thought the other party wouldn't listen to him, since based on his observations along the way, the other party didn't seem to get tired at all. Besides, what kind of leader waits for his underlings? That would be absurd if word got out.

But when the other person saw that he had actually stopped, they asked him with some surprise, "You must be tired. I thought you were going to walk a bit further." Upon hearing this, the man's hair practically stood on end.

What? What does that mean? It sounds like they knew he was tired and were just waiting to see him make a fool of himself. But then I thought, he hadn't stopped the whole way; how could he have had time to see him make a fool of himself?

In fact, Jiang Hui didn't mean to laugh at him. Actually, not only had the other party been observing Jiang Hui, but Jiang Hui had also been observing him... After all, they were going to cooperate, and if someone had ulterior motives, he would kick them out immediately and never give them a chance to betray him.

However, this person is indeed as simple as he appeared at the beginning, with everything written on his face.

Yes, the fact that you can still read his emotions from time to time from such a data-driven, generic face shows how shallow his mind is.

This guy, true to his tutoring background, is clearly not very good at fighting, but he's obviously had some training; after all, he's a military professional, so he should meet the general standards. But he's definitely not very good at it.

Sometimes I want to create opportunities for him to fight monsters, but he's not quick enough or decisive enough. However, he's very pragmatic and willing to cooperate. And while he might not be able to apply what he's learned to other situations, he can catch up with just a little guidance.

Although Xiao A felt he was getting in the way, he actually helped Jiang Hui quite a bit, making her feel a little more secure being all alone in the forest.

Moreover, the other party was also connected to him mentally. Jiang Hui could actually see more through the marks entangled in his mental position, like having an invisible observation port, which made his control over the surrounding situation more comprehensive.

The two could be said to have helped each other and benefited each other, and in just a few weeks, they had swept through a section of this forest.

But Jiang Hui felt that this guy was being a little too afraid of her. Apart from the time she pointed a gun at him for spying on her, she hadn't done anything to him, and had even given him points. But wasn't this guy being a little too reserved?

They looked so tired they were almost out of breath, yet they didn't dare say they wanted to rest.

Jiang Hui isn't usually one to make things difficult for others; she's very generous to her own people. But for some reason, she couldn't help but probe the other person's intentions.

Even though his stamina bar was almost empty, he kept drinking those low-end stamina replenishments that didn't really help much, while his health bar kept decreasing, but he still didn't ask Jiang Hui to stop and rest for a while.

If Jiang Hui hadn't almost fallen into a crevice due to exhaustion, she doubted the other party would have suggested stopping.

Little A was panting heavily. He didn't know why a fully simulated holographic arena felt so real. The feeling of being so exhausted that he felt like he was about to vomit blood and collapse at any moment was so real.

He had a feeling that if he really fainted at this moment, the exam might be over when he woke up, and then his joy would turn into sorrow.
