Before Alyssa left the room to contact other contestants, Ruan Mei stopped her.
"I have another question for you. How many contestants did you see in the square just now?"
“Thirty people, what’s wrong?” Alyssa replied with some confusion.
"And you?"
"Including me, there are of course thirty-one people. Didn't the administrator welcome everyone before..." The number that came out of her mouth made Alyssa's words stuck in her throat.
If I included myself, there were thirty-one players in the square who had passed the first level. Then what about Ruan Mei? She had clearly also passed the first level, and was the last player to receive her reward. Including her, shouldn't there be a total of thirty-two players who had passed the level?
"I've finished asking questions, you can go back to your work."
Ruan Mei nodded. Alyssa's words once again confirmed her guess about order.
Alyssa wanted to ask, but seeing Ruan Mei’s expression of having lost interest, she knew that even if she asked, she would not get an answer.
So she turned to Ruan Mei and asked, "The White Eagle contestants said that we should all get together tonight to discuss the next mission. Do you want to come? Although I know you probably don't want to go."
"You're right." Ruan Mei had no interest in this proposal at all.
"Okay, I'll tell them about your transaction. See you later." Alyssa shrugged and walked out of the room.
In the evening, Alyssa came to the agreed tavern and told them what Ruan Mei said.
Although the contestants were skeptical about the effectiveness of Ruan Mei's reagent, as the saying goes, it doesn't cost money to trust it. As fellow Blue Star people, Ruan Mei would not harm them. Moreover, according to the administrator, taking some monster remains with them would be a convenient thing to do, so they agreed.
Apparently, noticing that everyone had a high level of trust in strangers, the Sakura Empire player, who had been curled up in his chair and was obviously very introverted, took the initiative to confess his abilities to everyone.
The ability of this Sakura Empire player, who hasn't graduated from university yet, is to create a chat group that can communicate instantly regardless of distance and transfer small items.
Of course, because she has just awakened her ability, the upper limit of the chat group members is ten people, but the upper limit of members can be increased as the level increases.
Upon hearing this news, all those who had a bit of common sense at the scene became happy. Although this ability seemed simple on the surface, it could definitely be a magical skill if used properly!
After some discussion, everyone made a decision, which was to prioritize resources towards the Sakura Empire player until her ability grew to LV.4, at which time everyone would be able to enter the chat group.
As for now, the players from Sakura Empire were asked to bring the nine people with the highest combat capabilities into the group.
"Let's raise our glasses to celebrate this good news. Of course, those who are minors or in poor health can drink some juice." White Eagle contestant Jimmy, an extroverted muscular man, raised the glass in his hand and shouted to everyone.
His proposal was unanimously approved.
After all, this is a death game, a death game that concerns the country behind them.
How could they not be extremely happy about the news that could improve the survival rate?
Everyone raised their glasses high and drank the somewhat turbid wine with cheers.
After a glass of wine, the slight estrangement and awkwardness in the air gradually melted away, and everyone started talking and chatting.
"Speaking of which, that contestant from Donghuang has a really weird personality." The Royal contestant looked at the lively scene and couldn't help but think of the contestant who had never shown up.
"Who says she isn't? From the time I entered the National Destiny battlefield until now, I have never seen her. I don't even know what she looks like. I just know that she is a woman and she dresses in the Donghuang style." A contestant next to him echoed.
"Oh? I didn't expect your country would pass on such insignificant news to you. Anyway, my country didn't even mention it, just said that we should come to the square to get medicine at noon today." The speaker was the Byzantine contestant.
"I thought I'd see her at the square, but she didn't show up at all, and she didn't even come to the dinner tonight."
When talking about this topic, everyone suddenly became interested. After all, although they had never seen Ruan Mei, they all got news about her from the national communication. This made Ruan Mei a bit like a mysterious dragon in their hearts.
Anna stood next to Alyssa with a wine glass in hand. When she heard everyone's discussion, she elbowed Alyssa and said, "Why don't you say a few words? As for Ruan Mei, you are the only one who knows her among all the people here."
“It’s not good to talk about others behind their backs, right?” Alyssa said.
"I'm not asking you to discuss it, I'm asking you to introduce it, idiot. Has spending all day in the lab ruined your brain?" Anna rolled her eyes at her college classmate and lowered her voice. "Make her feel more approachable, understand?"
“Oh…” Alyssa thought about it and found that it seemed to be the case.
"Everyone, since you are all interested in the Donghuang players, why don't you let Alyssa introduce them?" Anna saw that Alyssa had figured it out, cleared her throat, and said.
"Okay, okay." The world-famous star spoke, and everyone immediately looked over.
"Oh! Little Anna, you still understand us!" Jimmy immediately gave Anna a thumbs up.
“You, get out,” Anna rolled her eyes at Jimmy, then pushed Alyssa, “Go ahead.”
"What should I say?" Alyssa, who was pushed out by Anna, was a little at a loss.
"Forget it, let's do this. You think of me as a reporter interviewing you, and I'll ask the questions." Anna looked at Alyssa and sighed, knowing that her classmate had the same old problem again. She looked so aloof, but she got nervous when there were a lot of people around.
Anna drank all the wine in her glass in one breath, turned the glass upside down and used it as a microphone.
It was just that when Ana stood next to Alyssa with the cup in her hand and faced Alyssa, she realized something was wrong: “Tsk, why are you so tall?”
Anna was small, only a little over 1.5 meters tall, while Alyssa was a typical Beilian person. She was not short to begin with, and with short boots on, she was almost 1.8 meters tall.
In front of Alyssa, Anna was like a child, not to mention that she had to hold a microphone. The scene was hilarious just thinking about it.
So Anna looked around, picked up a small stool from the side, and stepped on it.
"This height is not bad." It was just right, and he was looking at Alyssa at eye level.
However, this scene was still full of humor, making everyone present burst into laughter, and the barrage of comments was even more hilarious.
"As expected of the famous star Miss Anna!"
"Anna, small and cute."
"When will you come to Donghuang for another concert? I couldn't get a ticket last time. These people are really fast."
"Quiet, quiet. What are you laughing at? And there are barrages. Even though I can't see you, you must be laughing." Anna glanced at everyone present.
"Let's start the interview now. Let me think about the first question. Um... What kind of image do you have of the Donghuang contestant, Ms. Ruan Mei?" Anna asked, holding the "microphone".
Alyssa, who was already a little nervous, realized from Anna's previous words that this was a makeshift interview and that people all over the world would be watching. She suddenly became even more nervous - she had subconsciously ignored this point before.
So when Anna asked this question, Alyssa didn't even think about it and blurted out the first impression that came to her mind: "God."
"what?"
Chapter 30 Be Self-aware
Seeing Anna's strange look, Alyssa realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly waved her hand to make amends: "I didn't mean anything else, I just said that Ruan Mei gives people a very reassuring and omnipotent feeling."
"For example, these reagents she made. She clearly hasn't rested since leaving the guild that day. I don't even know when she suddenly made them."
If others listened to Alyssa's words, they might believe it directly, but Anna was Alyssa's college roommate who knew everything about her.
How could a person be described as God simply because he made a reagent whose origin is unknown and whose effectiveness is hard to say?
"It seems that Donghuang's Ruan Mei contestant is indeed outstanding, but it is difficult to convince us and the curious audience with just this little reason." Anna smiled meaningfully, then stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Alyssa's ear.
"My dear Alyssa, you don't want your dark history to be known to the whole world, do you?"
Alyssa was visibly shaken.
Seeing this, Anna pressed the issue, "Think about it, has Ruan Mei ever told you anything about keeping it a secret? If she doesn't care, why are you still hiding it? Just treat it as telling a friend's anecdote during an interview. It's not offensive or rude at all, is it?"
Anna is not really indifferent to other people's feelings. Just as she said, some simple things do not even need to be avoided. After all, these are just some interesting things. Speaking of them can actually bring her closer to the contestants.
After these words, Alyssa compromised. To be precise, she realized one thing, that is, Ruan Mei didn't care about these words at all, and she would not hide her behavior at all.
Whether it was the dangerous experiment being conducted in front of her, or the information that was ahead of its time being given to her, as long as she had any intention of hiding it from others, she would keep it secret from others.
After figuring this out, Alyssa felt relieved and felt much more relaxed. She finally didn't have to keep the shocking news in her heart anymore. She felt a sense of relief.
Alyssa looked at Anna with a flicker in her eyes: “Actually, I ran into her experiment before.”
Alyssa took a deep breath and uttered the following words word by word: “She is creating life.”
What? Creating life? Such exciting news? I have to sit up and watch this!
As soon as Alyssa said this, all the players present sat up straight, pricked up their ears, and paid full attention.
Anna blinked: "Alyssa, you mean, she conducted experiments here? And then created life?"
"Yes." Alyssa nodded affirmatively. Now that things had come to this, she simply told her what she had seen that day and Ruan Mei's introduction to the experiment.
"I am absolutely certain that Miss Ruan Mei did not lie. She did create a monster that can destroy itself, just like the God in the Bible."
"She then gave me a study kit, saying it was the most basic knowledge and asked me to study hard. But..." Alyssa's eyes became a little melancholy when she said this. She was still quite confident in her talent. "I already have a doctorate, but when it comes to those basic knowledge, I just feel like a newborn baby."
Anna's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. She understood how terrifying Alyssa's talent was. Her college roommate had obtained a doctorate degree at the age of 23, and it was a degree from Moscow University, the top university in the Northern League.
The other contestants also fell silent. Creating life is something that only gods can do in mythology!
"What? What did this Beilian woman say? She said Ruan Mei can create life? Could it be that Ruan Mei is the human form of the goddess Nuwa?"
"A few months ago, we were celebrating our progress in cloning, but now we're creating life? Isn't this technological advancement a bit too fast? Like a rocket?"
"Can you reach this speed by riding a rocket? This is a direct jump. No need to act anymore."
"Hey, man, is she kidding? That joke is a little off."
"No, even if Ruan Mei has strong scientific research capabilities, how is she going to move her lab equipment over? How can she conduct research without lab equipment?"
"Yes, even the best cook cannot cook without rice!"
Not to mention the boiling barrage of comments, the Donghuang National Destiny Strategy Bureau was already in chaos at this time.
Time goes forward a little bit, and Alyssa is heard saying that Ruan Mei created life.
There was a loud bang, and it turned out that it was Mr. Qin, a master of biology who had retired many years ago, who slammed the table and stood up.
Although he was already over 90 years old, he suddenly stood up, pointed his finger at the screen, and opened his mouth but said nothing.
The commander-in-chief took a look and his heart skipped a beat: "Quick! Quickly support Mr. Qin!"
The next moment, Old Qin closed his eyes and fell backwards.
Fortunately, the commander-in-chief's words just now made everyone come back to their senses immediately. An expert sitting next to Mr. Qin immediately supported Mr. Qin's back, and another expert also lent a hand.
Everyone helped Old Qin to lie down and found that his eyes were closed and his expression was numb.
"Let me do it, I have healing abilities!" The situation stabilized after a player who had passed the National Destiny battlefield took action.
As for the commander-in-chief, he looked at the big screen and finally understood why he couldn't get the real information about Ruan Mei at the beginning.
It turns out it was hidden here. This level of scientific research ability is probably only known by the top few people.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on Blue Star.
Alyssa's words were like a bomb, exploding in the hearts of everyone watching the live broadcast. You know, all the players are gathered together now, which means that almost everyone on Blue Star knows the news.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten the threat from the National Destiny Battlefield and started arguing about the outrageous news from Alyssa's mouth.
“You really are…” After Ana came back to her senses, she shook her head, not knowing whether to praise Alyssa or blame her for giving her such a big scare.
"That." At this moment, a voice sounded.
When the contestants turned their heads, they saw that it was the Byzantine contestant. He raised his hand and asked weakly, "Should I quit the group?"
The Byzantine contestant was the weakest among the nine people selected to join the chat group.
Facing the Byzantine player's words, everyone almost said in unison: "Nonsense."
"Quit the group quickly and make room for the boss."
"Hurry, hurry, get out of here quickly, don't let the boss do anything."
"Okay!" Just waiting for these words, the Byzantine player immediately quit the group chat, and then the Sakura Empire player pulled Ruan Mei in.
In the hotel room, Ruan Mei stopped what she was doing and looked at the virtual screen that appeared in front of her. She instantly figured out which contestant had this unique ability, so she clicked to agree to join the group.
Ruan Dianmei: “?”
Natural fitness comes to me: "Boss! Vegetables! Fish!"
Anna was furious: "White Eagle, where is your moral integrity?!"
Then she lowered her head, and quickly sent a message in the group.
I am the Iris superstar: "Boss! Vegetables! Grab it!"
Isn't it nice to cling to someone powerful? As long as you can survive the battlefield of national destiny, who cares about this or that?
Chapter 31 Is this a game?
As everyone was having fun, time passed by like a white horse.
