Inside the Black Wind Stronghold's preparation area, the five members who couldn't participate in the match were switching between two screens, watching the game with bated breath.

Li Siqi diligently cracked walnuts for everyone, filling a whole plate with walnut kernels. However, almost no one had time to eat them, and he himself didn't either, as his attention was entirely focused on the screen.

Yan Zhao, Tang Yunxi, Ling Ye, and Du Songzi will compete in the White Gate Division in this round. The theme of this round is the three-way struggle between the three races: the vampires, the werewolves, and the humans.

The three teams of players matched in the same game will be given these three different character identities. They will be born in the town of Waterfall and will need to collect various materials in the town within 48 hours to prepare the potions required by their tribe in order to avoid the outcome of being mutated.

Because the materials used to prepare the potions overlap and are limited in quantity, players must seize the initiative. If they fall behind other teams, they can only steal the potions by killing other players.

The final score will be calculated based on the completeness of each team's potion preparation and the number of mutated individuals.

"Actually, I've always felt that the second-in-command is a born vampire," Jiang Ling sighed. "Look at her, her skin is so fair, she has two little tiger teeth, she doesn't like to sunbathe, she always wears all black, and she has a cold and arrogant temperament. Anyway, that's how I imagine vampires to be."

"If that's the case, Ye Wang is more like a wolf," Su Su added. "Yun happy and Song Zi are both like humans, especially Song Zi. He'd have to be the kind of delicious human captured and imprisoned by vampires."

"Wow!" The other four people gave a thumbs up in agreement after hearing this. "You're absolutely right, you have a great imagination."

Thanks to Tang Yunxi, the search for basic potion materials on the first night went relatively smoothly. Given the large size of the town and the fact that they hadn't encountered the other two teams of players yet, the process was relatively uneventful.

Or rather, compared to the Black Gate Squad's antics of getting face-to-face with female ghosts in the toilet, throwing balls at people's heads in the basketball court, and racing against hanged ghosts in the library, their lives are certainly quite ordinary.

"It's almost dawn, so it shouldn't be as dangerous during the day as it is at night," Jiang Yao suggested. "Anyone who's sleepy can go take a nap. Lingling and I will keep watch here and let you know if anything happens."

"Okay," Wang Mingyue nodded in agreement. "Then let's go take a nap for a while, and then we'll switch shifts."

"Can."

……

Inside the bureau, at Mangcang High School, dawn had already arrived.

Yi Zanglan and his three companions went to the nearest canteen, No. 2, to find something to eat to replenish their energy after a night of hard work.

Upon entering the cafeteria, one finds it in complete disarray, as if a fierce chase and fight had taken place. Tables and chairs are overturned, and there are bloodstains spreading across the walls and floor, suggesting that someone has been dragged a considerable distance.

"It seems this is also one of the mission locations." Shen Yubai looked around thoughtfully. "The token should have already been taken by another team."

"Take it if you want. We can't cover every location. We'll run into each other again eventually," Yi Zanglan said. "Perfect, mission accomplished. Let's have a peaceful meal first."

Hunger affects her condition, and she needs to replenish her calories and sugar every now and then to ensure she is fully charged.

Qin Shaoyu went to the back kitchen and found that there were semi-finished products in the freezer, as well as some sealed vegetables, and the gas stove could be turned on.

He poked his head out and reported, "Captain, it seems we can cook something simple."

"I'll go," Shen Yubai said calmly, standing up. "You can help me chop some vegetables."

"No problem! How about we cook some noodles? We can each have a bowl, it'll save you trouble."

"No, Lanlan has to eat at least two bowls."

So the two of them discussed it and went inside to arrange breakfast.

Yi Zanglan rested her forehead on one hand, examining her bracelet, while Wu Ying sat opposite her, intently observing her.

"...Is it that good-looking?" Yi Zanglan noticed, casting a half-smile at him. "What are you thinking about?"

"Tsk, admiring my own wonderful aesthetic sense." Wu Ying tapped the table with her fingertips in a relaxed manner. "Go back and open our suitcases. I'll put together a second set of combat clothes for you to wear in the next match."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"It's not hard work, it's my new hobby."

The two chatted idly for a while when they suddenly heard a light footstep outside the cafeteria, which then stopped abruptly, as if someone was secretly probing them.

Yi Zanglan's expression turned slightly cold. She picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table, suddenly exerted force in her wrist, and threw them out with a backhand motion.

The chopsticks flew out with the speed of a hidden weapon, passing straight through the soft curtain of the cafeteria, and it's unknown who they hit on the spot.

"Gentlemen, since you're already here, just see them if you want, fight if you want, stop sneaking around."

"…Captain Yi, it's a misunderstanding!"

A girl with a heart-shaped face, permed hair, and dressed in a hippie-style outfit quickly lifted the soft curtain and appeared.

Behind her followed a handsome woman with short wolf-tail hair and roses tattooed on her arm, and a quiet man with a topknot and black-rimmed glasses.

These three people are Yu Qing, Ouyang Yu, and Zhang Nan.

"Oh." Wu Ying looked the other person over seriously, raising an eyebrow slightly. "We really have a deep connection with the Spring Water Team."

Yi Zanglan leaned back in his chair and sighed enigmatically, "Who can argue with that? This lineup is clearly chosen by Captain Ouyang himself."

In her memory, the Chunshui team ranked third in the captain's competition, which gave them the right to choose their own teammates.

"Indeed, it was my own choice." Ouyang Yu smiled, walked to the table and sat down opposite her. "Speaking of which, I still owe Captain Yi a favor. If you hadn't stepped up and made way for me, Zheng Hao and I probably wouldn't have made it to the end."

"It's not really about personal favors. After all, my main target wasn't you guys at the time. I was just doing a favor for an acquaintance." After saying that, Yi Zanglan changed the subject and asked, "Shouldn't each team have four people? You're one person short."

"He sacrificed himself to get the token last night," Ouyang Yu sighed in reply. "He's probably back to life now and is probably in the spectator area worrying about the three of us."

"Oh, that's a shame."

Yi Zanglan turned her gaze to Zhang Nan, who was standing to the side. She saw that her virtuous childhood friend was silently rubbing his stomach, guessing that the chopsticks had unfortunately landed on him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, we didn't know it was you."

Zhang Nan quickly waved his hand, still stammering in his familiar manner: "No...no...it's nothing!"

At this moment, Shen Yubai brought out two bowls of tomato noodles, originally intending for Yi Zanglan and Wu Ying to eat first, but he was stunned when he saw that there were three more people.

"Oh...you're from the Spring Water Team? I'll go cook some more noodles, everyone can just have a bite?"

Ouyang Yu and Zhang Nan exchanged a glance, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed to trouble them. Just as they were hesitating, Yu Qing's eyes lit up, and she happily agreed.

"Really? Thank you, handsome guy!"

"……polite."
