The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 632 Melee (Part )

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

They should have known that the education bureau wouldn't let them rank up so easily.

Just like in the various adventure novels that are popular these days, how could there be guardian beasts or obstacles next to you when you get a chance or treasure, making it so that you can't easily get what you want?

Following the sound, they found another random distribution point, but this time no one was ahead of them; they were the first to arrive.

However, the process of getting the items proved far more difficult than they had imagined; they had to shoulder the burden.

The light this time was more dazzling than the previous times they had seen. Based on their experience from previous trials, this was probably a large item.

Despite it being just a few steps away, everyone was still very anxious, fearing that if they were even a little late, the items would be taken by someone else.

When they arrived, the item was indeed still there—a small, closed box. They didn't know what was inside, but it certainly wasn't a potion set or anything like that. The group immediately wanted to retrieve it, just in case anything went wrong.

Compared to the outspoken and bold 276, 899 is more cautious.

She thought about it more deeply, feeling that there was something wrong with the magnetic field around her. But before she could say anything, the group, including members of her original team, rushed forward, eager to check it out.

Seeing these people gleaming, even radiating a wolfish light, 899 had a strange premonition. She seemed to have underestimated human nature…

But it's too late to stop them now. Even the alpha wolf can't stop his subordinates. Otherwise, with the crowd in a frenzy, he might lose his own life too.

Seeing another person acting just as wildly as the others, 899 had no choice but to keep a low profile and retreat to the center line. She was really afraid that she would be swallowed up by them at any moment.

--------------

Although Jiang Hui had done her best and Xiao A had postponed, it still couldn't compare to those who were closer.

Before she even arrived, another team had already arrived, and they were estimated to be three stars ahead of her.

At this rate, she has absolutely no chance of getting that thing...

Just as Jiang Hui was hesitating whether to change course or charge straight ahead, she suddenly sensed a strange, unsettling atmosphere.

This aura... it's not too late to go and take a look.

"what--"

"Get out of the way, you idiot, don't block my way!"

"Damn it, where did this thing come from?!"

"Damn the Education Bureau, what kind of arrangements are these?"

"..."

The space, which had just been filled with joy, was now in chaos. The crowd was scattered, and no one knew who was the leader or who was the subordinate. They had even forgotten that they were actually in a simulation, and that everything they were seeing was fake and illusory.

All they knew was that if they were attacked and killed by this star beast, they would "die" here and lose their eligibility to continue participating in the unified recruitment.

This was an outcome none of them wanted. Going back a few stars, they found something that had just been distributed, ahead of everyone else. Although they didn't know what it was, it wasn't the usual potion set; judging from its appearance, it was something they hadn't found before. Even if it wasn't what they wanted, it could still help them get out of their current predicament.

So the group went crazy, with the leaders even faster than the two team leaders.

Looking at the small box right in front of them, their eyes were practically overflowing with greed and ambition.

One person, wanting to get there first, lunged sideways to reach it, while the others also had ferocious looks in their eyes, not caring about anything else at that moment.

However, treasures are always guarded by their protectors, and those who attempt to seize them without the necessary power will be put to the test first.

The one who rushed forward knocked over the box as he leaped forward, revealing its contents, which were previously uncertain but were now right in front of him.

Inside the box was a mecha button that shimmered with a blue light.

The entire scene seemed to fall silent for a moment, as if everyone's actions had been paused.

The few who were initially vying for the front row looked quite fierce; if someone were watching from the front, they could probably see a terrifying glint in their eyes.

"His-"

Therefore, one's head should not be too congested with blood; once the blood rushes to the head, one will not care about anything else.

Just as the one who had rushed ahead was about to touch the mecha button again, a dark brown streak shot over and accurately wrapped around the neck of the person in front, tightening before anyone could react.

"Crack." A sound that made one's bones ache reached everyone's ears.

Although the voice wasn't loud, it sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

The man, who had been full of energy just moments before, suddenly seemed to have all his vitality drained away, collapsing limply to the ground after being released by the giant python.

It was just a virtual scene, yet it felt so real in the face of death, which was a huge shock to the students present who hadn't experienced much of life.

They didn't expect this to happen.

To them, even the most powerful martial arts technique was just a game, virtual and fake, all of it illusory, devoid of real pain and death. Yet, at this moment, they suddenly realized just how vulnerable they were in the face of the ferocious beast.

It's completely vulnerable.

After the unlucky guy who was the first to deliver the food "died," he, representing the simulated world, only stayed for a short while before his body quickly dissipated, leaving no trace even in his afterimage.

The other candidate is no longer eligible to participate in the unified entrance examination. Being moved out of the examination hall must be quite upsetting for them. However, that's how the rules are; their journey in the unified entrance examination is over. Because they were eliminated so early, they probably won't make it into the final round of offers of admission or the later rounds of admission.

Right now, they were all exposed to this ferocious beast without any defense or weapons.

The serpentine star beast, still unsatisfied after killing one person, became interested in the large group of prey before it.

It was already terrifying enough before it even fully unfurled; the thinner part of it, wrapped around a person's neck, was almost a size larger than their head. However, when it straightened up completely, its pointed snake head was a full half meter taller than the people. Keep in mind that these candidates' physical models were based on the average height standard given in the professional field. Even if they weren't tall, the average height would be at least 1.7 meters. What does it mean to have a snake head that is half a head taller than them suspended in mid-air?
They were in a near-perfect 360-degree blind spot against this serpentine star beast, with nowhere to hide. However, they couldn't easily catch a glimpse of the giant serpent... this was practically a death trap.

The tall, enormous snake's head drooped slightly, and they could hear the unique hissing sound that belonged only to snake-like creatures, which was both chilling and unsettling.
