………………
The next morning, at 7:45 in the morning, in a restaurant on the luxury cruise ship, all the students of Class D had arrived. They were talking in low voices about the [Privileged Player Game] among each other, but with the appearance of Li Mo, everything fell silent.
Most of the students in Class D are in awe of Li Mo, the big devil. After all, they didn't know much about him when they just entered the school. But when Li Mo began to show his prowess and the stories of the "freshman big devil" spread among the senior students, the students in Class D realized that he was an absolute strong man. Coupled with the first month's assessment for freshmen, the midterm exam and the uninhabited island survival assessment, Li Mo's position in Class D was established.
Haven't you seen that Li Mo sent a message in the D class's communication group last night asking all the D class students to gather here before 7:45 in the morning, and no one dared to be late. There is no need to mention Horikita Suzune, Karuizawa Megumi and the others, even Koenji Rokusuke, Hirata Yosuke and the others had no objection. The reason is that Li Mo has become the absolute backbone of the D class, and the psychological pressure created by his previous fierce means can be said to be a combination of kindness and force that has led to the current good situation in the D class.
In a sense, the original plot line of the anime had been trampled upon by Li Mo so much that not even a trace could be seen, including the male protagonist Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who has now become an inconspicuous student in Class D. He seems to be very satisfied with his current peaceful life and has no intention of jumping out at all. Even Class D's head teacher, Chabashi Sae, ignored him and did not look at him any differently.
Of course, Li Mo also knew very well that his current prestige was built on the basis of continuous victories. If he did not want to use coercive means to make the students in Class D obedient, he had to strengthen his own authority while continuing to win.
"Everyone should know the rules of the [Favored Player Game]. Now, in the name of the leader of Class D, I ask everyone to take out their personal communication terminals!"
Seeing the other thirty-nine students in Class D, Li Mo directly stated his method. In the name of the leader of Class D, he said to all the students: "Don't worry, I will not confiscate everyone's personal communication terminal, nor will I look at the secrets of everyone's personal communication terminal. I just want to master the list of all the favored players in Class D of the [Favored Player Game], and prepare for our Class D to win the game. Everyone write your name on a sticker, stick it on the personal communication terminal and temporarily hand it in..."
Well, Li Mo was so polite purely because the situation was different. After all, Japan in the real education world was still a peaceful modern world, and [Advanced Development High School] was at most a special high school. He was not to the point where he could decide the life and death of the students in Class D with just a single word. He had to at least explain what he was going to do.
Otherwise, with the importance modern people attach to their mobile phones, which is comparable to the importance they attach to their personal computers, many secret things may be found on students' personal communication terminals. Even if the students in Class D are very respectful to Li Mo, if you don't give a suitable reason to make everyone hand over their personal communication terminals, which may leak their private information, it will also cause resentment or even disgust among the students in Class D.
Maybe they will still obey the orders directly given by Li Mo, but many students may have some small thoughts. If Li Mo continues to win in the [Favored Game], it will be fine. If he fails and fails one or two more times in the future, even the freshman devil will lose the right to speak, unless Li Mo uses absolute violence to unify, such as the situation where Ryuen Sho of Class C violently unified the entire class.
In this regard, Li Mo felt that it would be a good thing to spend some time to explain his method to the students in Class D. Before he explained that this was a preparation for winning the [Favored Player Game], the emotions of the students in Class D stabilized.
"My personal communication terminal!"
"this is mine……"
After hearing what Li Mo said, no student in Class D had any objection. As Horikita Suzune put a blank sticker and a ballpoint pen in their hands, each of them consciously wrote their name on the blank sticker, pasted it on their personal communication terminal and handed it in.
If Li Mo had not explained it in advance, and the issue involved was the special exam of [Privileged Player Game], it would not be easy to ask them to hand over their personal communication terminals. No one wants the confidential information on their personal communication terminals to be leaked. God knows whether others will know the personal secrets when looking at their personal communication terminals. This is something that every student in Class D cannot accept.
Fortunately, Li Mo had already explained it in advance and said that he would take a look at the information of the [Favored Game]. Due to the prestige that Li Mo has successfully established, the students in Class D are still willing to support their class leader in this regard. Even Yamauchi Haruki, who was taught a lesson by Li Mo and imprisoned in the last uninhabited island survival assessment, was very smart at this time and did not say a word. He obediently wrote his name on the sticker and handed it to Hirata Yosuke who helped collect it.
Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yosuke, Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Megumi all helped with the collection of personal communication terminals. Forty personal communication terminals, including Li Mo himself, were placed on the table in front of him, and the students in Class D were all sitting in their seats. No one had the intention of chatting, and many students in Class D kept looking up at the clock, wanting to see when it would be eight o'clock.
The silent atmosphere did not last long. As the clock hand in the restaurant passed eight o'clock, in less than three seconds, forty personal communication terminals simultaneously rang with the sound of receiving text messages, which made the few students in Class D who were waiting heaved a sigh of relief. Then they looked at Li Mo who had started to act.
This time, Li Mo acted very decisively. He picked up the personal communication terminals one by one to check them and deleted the messages on them. His speed was very fast and he completed the goal in less than ten minutes.
"OK! I have deleted the information about whether the school has reminded you that you are a "favored student" from your personal communication terminals. Except for me, no one knows who has been selected as a favored student in our class!"
When Li Mo put down the last personal communication terminal, he asked Horikita Suzune and the others to return the other thirty-nine personal communication terminals to their original owners. He looked at the thirty-nine students in Class D and gave an order that made many of them scratch their heads: "Next, return the personal communication terminals to everyone. Those who like detective novels, have excellent reasoning skills, and have excellent math grades, stay and wait for my next order. The rest of you can leave, and keep the news confidential..."
When Li Mo's order came, the students in Class D, who were not very smart and not even average, naturally found it difficult to understand his approach. However, most of the students in Class D realized that the leader of their class was planning to let smart people conduct research to find out the logical rules of the [Favorable Treatment Game].
After all, everyone had heard the rules of the [Favored Player Game] last night, and naturally knew that each zodiac group would select a favored player. Li Mo is now concealing the information about the [Favored Player] of Class D. Except for him and the people who stay behind, the students in Class D have no idea who the [Favored Player] of their class will be. And those students who like detective novels, have excellent reasoning skills, and have good math grades, I'm afraid they will study whether there is any logical pattern in the [Favored Player].
Even though they envied those who stayed, the students of Class D quickly made their choice. They were very self-aware and more than 30 of them left in an instant. Even Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Koenji Rokusuke chose to leave. The former really pretended to be an ordinary student to the end, while the latter, after talking to Li Mo for a few words, Li Mo ignored this guy who had made a lot of efforts in the survival test on the uninhabited island and let him choose to leave.
In just less than a minute, Li Mo, Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yosuke and two other students from Class D were the only ones left in the entire restaurant. Even Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Megumi did not stay because they were really not good at reasoning and mathematics!
……
"Mo Jun, what should we do next?"
Seeing Li Mo asking other students from Class D to leave, Horikita Suzune looked at Hirata Yosuke and the other two students from Class D and found that they were all looking at her at the same time. The beautiful girl with long black hair who already knew about her close relationship with Li Mo and the news spread to Class D and even other classes was not shy but asked directly. She was very confident that her lover definitely had a suitable plan.
In the morning, Li Mo was notifying her and others to cooperate in getting other students in Class D to hand over their personal communication terminals. Horikita Suzune already had a definite idea, and now she was just asking her lover what to do!
"It's very simple. Here are the names of the three favored students in Class D. Here are the names of our class and the other three classes, as well as the names of the twelve different groups. Let's try to use decryption and mathematical logic to find out if there is a certain pattern among them, such as the birthday arrangement of the twelve zodiac signs, the number of strokes in their names, etc...."
Facing the attention of Horikita Suzune and the other three students from Class D, Li Mo tapped his desk lightly, and displayed the papers with the names of the three "Favored Players" from Class D. He then took out a list of student names in that grade, as well as the group lists of the four first-grade classes that were confirmed last night and that would participate in the "Favored Player Game". He then arranged for Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke to conduct data analysis.
Although Li Mo himself knew the correct answer and had already found the "favored" personnel in the "Favored Game", he did not want the other students in Class D to develop a mentality of over-dependence on others, otherwise they would be complete losers who were clinging to others. He did not need so many people either. It had always been Li Mo's idea to let the students in Class D gain experience, and from the current situation, this approach seemed to be effective, so Li Mo would naturally continue to implement it.
No matter how you look at it, Li Mo has no intention of being a babysitter for everyone in Class D, otherwise sooner or later he will feel irrelevant and let go. For example, from the time he took charge of Class D until now, he has been frequently training the abilities of other students, and the exam situation of the [Favored Game] this time can also allow these students in Class D to try it out. After all, many things can only be understood through actual practice.
Hearing Li Mo's words, Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yosuke and the other two students from Class D nodded in agreement. They all looked at the list of "Preferentially Treated Persons" carefully, and then began to examine and calculate. However, Li Mo left the restaurant first!
Chapter 41 Katsuragi Kōhei's Final Struggle
Click——————
Later, in Room 504 on the fifth floor, with the sound of a door opening, Li Mo, Karuizawa Kei and two other students from Class D stepped into the room, attracting the attention of the other Rabbit Team members sitting in the room.
The situation was slightly different from last night. Nine students from the other three classes had already gathered in Room 504, but Class A's head teacher, Satoshi Mayu, was not among them. He had already explained the reason yesterday that the members of the [Rabbit Group] needed to discuss among themselves, and after the grouping was completed and all the rules were informed, the head teachers could leave without any supervision.
After all, it's not a survival test on a deserted island where you'd be worried about unexpected situations that require a teacher to make a daily round of inspection. The [Favored Game] is mainly about using your brain, so you don't really need a class teacher watching over you, and it also prevents certain leaks of questions!
"Student Li Mo! Students from Class D, you are here!"
Seeing Li Mo, Karuizawa Kei and others come in, Ichinose Honami, who was chatting in a low voice with her classmates, stood up and greeted him, and also greeted Karuizawa Kei and the other two students from Class D.
"Haha, Captain Ichinose, it looks like we're the last group to arrive~!"
In response to Ichinose Honami's subtle and intimate greeting, Li Mo responded with a smile but did not make any ambiguous gesture.
There's no way around it. Li Mo is in a relationship with Horikita Suzune on the surface, and if he does anything overly ambiguous with Hiranose Honami and the others, it would be big news in [Highly Developed High School], not to mention when outsiders are watching.
Even if Li Mo himself didn't care, Ichinose Hoba and the others had to consider their own face. Even Sakayanagi Arisu felt a little hesitant about this issue, forcing him to openly keep a certain distance from the beautiful girls. At most, they were classmates with whom he had a good relationship. As for someone like Ichinose Hoba who took the initiative to greet him, it did not arouse suspicion from other students because she was always so enthusiastic.
In response to Li Mo's greeting, Ichinose Honami sat down with a smile on her face. The other students from Class A and Class C became noticeably serious after their eyes met someone, probably because some bad memories were awakened by them.
When Li Mo and his four companions took their seats, the broadcast in the room sounded soon after.
"In the next hour, the first round of group discussion will begin!"
This was not just in room 504; the broadcasting sound spread throughout the entire cruise ship, making people realize that all groups were taking this special exam at the same time.
I won’t talk about other groups for now. In room 504, after the announcement, no one spoke. The atmosphere in the not-so-narrow space was so dull that it seemed to be frozen. Everyone was paying attention to what others were doing.
Ichinose Hoba looked around, confirmed that no one wanted to speak, and then stood up, breaking the extremely silent atmosphere:
"Well, although everyone should know each other's names, considering that some of us may be meeting each other for the first time, and the school also has instructions in this regard, I think it would be better for everyone to introduce themselves!"
"This……"
When these words were spoken, except for Li Mo and Karuizawa Megumi, the other students who were not familiar with Ichinose Honami's personality were all surprised.
It should be said that in Japan, where "reading the surrounding atmosphere" and "determining one's own social class" are compulsory courses in everyone's life, any normal person in this situation would follow the crowd and remain silent!
However, Li Mo, Karuizawa Megumi and several students from Class B were not surprised by Ichinose Honami's behavior. This beautiful girl was simply a social elite!
"Is there any need to introduce yourself at this time?"
Seeing Ichinose Honami breaking the immersive atmosphere, the next person to speak was a student from Class A. Li Mo took a casual look and it seemed that the student's name was Machida Koji. He was a background board like Passerby A or Passerby B who he had no impression of at all.
To use a more appropriate description, this guy is one of those passerby background boards who may not even have any lines, and he doesn't have any eye-catching performance in actual animation!
"Besides, I don't think the school's so-called instructions are serious. In this case, those who want to introduce themselves should just come forward!"
Machida Koji's attitude was very rude, and several students from Class A remained silent.
"If Machida-san and the others in Class A insist on doing this, then I naturally cannot force you. However, there may be a microphone secretly installed somewhere in this room. Such an act of openly defying the school's exam instructions may bring harm to our entire group. What do you think?"
Ichinose Honami was not angry. She smiled kindly but said something that most likely made the other students change their expressions.
"I, I'm a student in Class A, Machida Koji!"
Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Machida Koji's expression changed a few times, worrying that he would bring trouble to the entire group and even himself, and he simply introduced himself and that was it.
The other students in Class A did not dare to bet on whether the school would do this, so they all made a simple self-introduction. Then, Ichinose Honami also began to introduce herself with confidence, and then the others introduced themselves one after another.
Because it was just a test for the "Favored Player Game" and not a matchmaking event, everyone was very concise, just adding their class and name, and the whole process went very quickly. According to the current class sequence, they introduced themselves directly. Li Mo was no exception, even though everyone present knew him, he was just doing superficial work.
But after everyone had introduced themselves, they all looked at each other, not knowing what to say next!
"Dear students, I have something to ask you..."
At this time, Ichinose Hoba stood up again and clapped his hands with a gentle smile on his face. He looked around and found that even Li Mo did not stop him. He said in a very calm tone: "If, based on the premise that 'no one is a preferential treatment recipient', do you think that the ending of this [Preferential Treatment Recipient Game] is the best solution for everyone, ending with the result?"
The first result of the [Favored Person Game] is that if everyone in the same group knows the identity of the [Favored Person] but does not choose to report it themselves to get the reward, then all team members will receive 500,000 personal points, and the favored person himself will receive 1 million personal points. It can be said to be a happy ending.
But all students know that there are four possible outcomes of the [Favored Treater Game]. Except for the happy ending, the other three are the best ending for the [Favored Treater], the ending for the person who is best able to discover the identity of the [Favored Treater], and the worst ending of losing everything. Besides, the identity of the [Favored Treater] should not be known to anyone except himself for the time being (Li Mo had previously directly asked students to hand in their personal communication terminals, which was very difficult to do).
The benefits of hiding one's identity may be higher, but one is afraid that others will know that he is the "favored one" and expose him, which forms a hide-and-seek game like werewolf. It is really difficult to achieve result 1 of the "favored one game". For example, Li Mo does not think that the thirteen people in the "Rabbit Group" can resist the option that is more beneficial to themselves. It would be strange if it were that simple.
Li Mo actually didn't care what Ichinose Honami wanted to do. He allowed the beautiful girls and beauties to fuse with the [Seed of Extraordinary], but he didn't want to turn them into obedient puppet dolls. It was up to them to play competition games like this.
"In theory, Result 1 is the best choice for everyone, provided that none of us are "favored". Otherwise, would we want to get more points?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Mo spoke directly.
There is no doubt that as the "freshman devil" of the first grade, Li Mo's speech made the students in other classes feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Some students had a hint of fear on their faces, while others were brave enough to try to defeat this devil with stubborn expressions.
That’s right, I’m talking about Ibuki Mio from Class C. She was looking at Li Mo with a stubborn expression. It was obvious that she had not forgotten the disastrous defeat she suffered during the survival assessment on the uninhabited island!
"Also, the students in Class D didn't see the text messages sent by the school. The reason is that I asked them to leave their phones with me, and they deleted the messages after reading them. In other words, even if there is a favored person in the Rabbit Group in Class D, he won't know about it, let alone agreeing to Result 1 and revealing his identity as a favored person..."
Unfortunately, Li Mo didn't wait for Ichinose Honami to continue speaking, and directly strangled her and others' ideas in the cradle.
No!
Can you still play like this?
This means there is absolutely no way to know if there are any "favored ones" in the Rabbit Group in Class D!
In an instant, almost all the students from Class A, Class B, and Class C in the room had different ideas, and they looked at Li Mo with strange eyes.
Even though they had to admit that Li Mo's method was very brutal, as he made the [favored ones] in Class D not even know that they were [favored ones], let alone gaining more personal points, this method was indeed unsolvable, and other people had no way of getting relevant information from other students in Class D.
As for the possibility of working together to achieve a happy ending, Li Mo does not have such a possibility at all. He has completely blocked this path in advance.
Ichinose Honami couldn't help but touch her forehead. She didn't expect that her lover would be so extreme!
At this moment, when Li Mo brought out the strategy of Class D, Ichinose Honami knew that it was impossible for him to make the Rabbit Team or even the twelve teams achieve the most perfect result. Even if someone was tempted, the uncooperative attitude of Class D was enough to make others fall into a chain of suspicion and not believe it.
What's more, Ichinose Honami herself knows that in order to achieve result one of the [Favorable Player Game], it requires both strength and luck. However, she herself is unwilling to give up, so she works hard to achieve the best ending!
"No! The teacher clearly said that students are prohibited from disguising or modifying the school's text messages in any way during this exam. You are violating the rules!"
At this time, Machida Koji from Class A suddenly stood up, pointed at Li Mo and shouted loudly, attracting the gazes of other students who looked at him as a warrior.
"Then go tell the teacher!"
Li Mo didn't even raise his eyelids when talking to this kind of warrior. He just spread his hands and said.
"you……"
Seeing that his threats were completely ineffective and he was instead mocked by Li Mo, Machida Koji couldn't help but get angry. He gritted his teeth and took out a personal communication terminal from his trouser pocket, unlocked the screen and called their Class A teacher, Tomoya Mayu.
However, as the call was connected, Machida Koji's expression quickly changed from excitement to astonishment, and finally he hung up the phone, sat down and remained silent!
"How is it? Mr. Majima, are you planning to disqualify me from the exam?"
Seeing Machida Koji's frustrated look, Li Mo laughed at him without hesitation:
"From the looks of it, I'm afraid there won't be any reaction. I think he should have told you this - the exam rules prohibit students from disguising and modifying school text messages. This is to prevent students who are proficient in programming from changing the content of text messages by connecting to computers and operating them. In this way, they can deceive other students in the same group. Deleting text messages does not fall within the scope of the rules for disguising and modifying, and it does not exceed the rules of the game."
"Besides, there is no rule in the [Privileged Player Game] that everyone must show their text messages to other group members. If I don't show them to you, then what does it have to do with you whether I delete the text messages or not?"
After saying this, Li Mo deliberately provoked Machida Koji and other students in Class A, appearing to be particularly mocking them, which made Machida Koji so angry that his veins were exposed.
"…Indeed, as you said, we just need to not say anything. In this case, for all the following discussions, we in Class A will remain silent!"
Seeing Li Mo's provocative attitude, Machida Koji clenched his teeth, trying hard to suppress the urge to beat Li Mo but then get beaten up. He turned to look at other classmates in his class, then spoke directly.
"Let me guess, this is Katsuragi Kōhei's strategy, right? Turtle defense style..."
Li Mo raised his eyebrows and mocked Machida Koji again at his words, but this time the students in Class A all said nothing tacitly. They just chose to sit there pretending to be dead, clearly showing an attitude of "I can't hear anything".
This was not a strange thing at all for Li Mo. When he was getting along intimately with Arisu Sakayanagi, she had said that she would not participate in the command of this [Privileged Player Game] and would hand over the baton of Class A to Kōhei Katsuragi. However, it would be better if Kōhei Katsuragi did not suffer any loss this time, or even better if he could lead Class B again and keep the title of Class A. But if he failed again, he would have to step down from the position of leader in disgrace.
After all, the two double-headed eagles before Class A, Kōhei Katsuragi and Arisu Sakayanagi, were both tit-for-tat, and their styles of doing things were completely different. In this [Game of the Favored Guest] and the previous [Uninhabited Island Survival Assessment], Arisu Sakayanagi was ready to let Kōhei Katsuragi take the blame, and even secretly made a move.
Now, it is not a strange strategy that Kōhei Katsuragi chooses the conservative turtle defense flow. However, to Li Mo himself, he only thinks that this is the opponent's dying struggle, which is completely useless!
"..."
Even though Li Mo's words were very impolite, Machida Koji and several other students in Class A chose to remain silent. At this time, they really implemented Katsuragi Kohei's strategy and ignored Li Mo's words at all, lying down and pretending to be dead.
Of course, the reason why the students in Class A were so obedient and fully carried out Kōhei Katsuragi's orders was not because Kōhei Katsuragi's prestige in Class A was still so high after his failure once, but more importantly, they were facing the big devil of Class D. Even the warriors who had just tried to find the big devil's flaws were actually thinking that Li Mo would not directly take any violent actions during the [Favorable Treatment Game] assessment.
Otherwise, even if Machida Koji had the courage of a leopard, he would not have been able to provoke Li Mo head-on. As a student in Class A, his abilities were certainly not outstanding, but he was definitely ranked among the top freshmen. He knew very well that even if several students in Class A were tied together, they could not be the opponent of the big devil who challenged all the fighting clubs on the first day of school. Moreover, he had provoked Li Mo before and directly called the Class A teacher Tomoya Mayu, actually with the idea of suppressing Li Mo with rules.
As a member of Class A, Koji Machida naturally understood the importance of the rules of the game. If he could really grasp Li Mo's weakness and successfully gain victory over the big devil, the benefits would be innumerable. He might even be able to climb to the position of leader of Class A when Kōhei Katsuragi's position as leader was shaken. Even if he failed, he could use the school rules and at least he wouldn't have to worry about violent retaliation.
Unfortunately, when Machida Koji found that his action had failed, he decisively chose to play dead. The other students in Class A were also not stupid. They did not stand out, so why bother to say much? Naturally, they followed Machida Koji and chose to remain silent.
