Zongman: I can modify the status bar

Although Chabashi Sae was slacking off, she was indeed much better at intimidating students. Even now, few people in Class D, which she led, understood her, except for those who followed Haruki...

When Yaohui saw how chaotic they were, he quickly called out to several classmates who were carrying supplies to retreat quickly. This was not a place to stay for long!

Yaohui and the others had just walked a short distance when they saw a ruffian-looking red-haired boy running towards them. He had a few razor marks on both sides of his head. He looked quite fashionable, didn't he?

"Sudo Ken?" Someone nearby immediately recognized the other person's identity. It was Sudo Ken from Class D. Because he was very famous in the basketball club, some of the basketball players in the class were relatively familiar with him. Haruki had always been back to the home club, so it was normal that he didn't know him.

Looking at the other person's silly look, it's no wonder that he was tricked by the guy from Class C.

"So your name is Sudo Ken!"

……

Chapter 116 The little angel is still working hard

"Hey! Sudo Ken! What's the rush?" Shibata Sa, who was beside Haruki, greeted Sudo Ken who was running towards him. Shibata Sa was quite familiar with Sudo Ken because he sometimes went back to the basketball team to make guest appearances.

But the other party seemed to be alert because of the group of people in Class B.

"Ah! Are you here to purchase supplies at this time? You bought a lot! Haha!" Sudo Ken responded awkwardly.

"Don't worry, there's no need to be so nervous. Our two classes are in a cooperative relationship after all." Yaohui said lightly from the side.

"Well, what are you talking about? Why would I be wary of you? Haha!" Sudo Ken is not a person who would lie, and no one present would believe what he said.

"Hey! You, when you got into trouble, we were looking for clues everywhere for you. We almost ran ourselves crazy, and you actually treated us like outsiders. You..."

The classmates around him were about to say something unpleasant, but Yaohui raised his hand to stop them.

"Well, let him do his job. We have things to do, don't we? Let's go!"

Haruki walked ahead holding the things in his arms, and the other students followed Haruki's footsteps and left, leaving Sudo Ken alone standing there in a daze.

"Have I gotten into trouble again? Never mind. I can't figure this out even if I rack my brains. I'd better hurry up and take care of the exclusive key card. I can't let Suzune-chan wait too long..."

Sudo Ken hurried over to the tent of Chabashi Sae and the others, "Class D's Leader: Horikita Suzune..."

……

Half an hour ago.

"Hey! Everyone! This is it! Our base!" Chi emerged from the stream shirtless. The students from Class D also rushed over.

“The water is so clear!”

"So beautiful!"

……

"Well, clean water, shade that can receive some sunlight, and leveled ground. If this is the place, it might be really ideal to set up a camp! Thanks to you, Chi! You are really amazing! You can actually find such a good place!" Looking at this base next to the stream, Yosuke Hirata couldn't help but praise Chi for finding it.

"Is that so! Hehehe!" Ike was very proud of being praised by Hirata.

Under a nearby tree was a base terminal that had not yet been occupied, with a notice written underneath stating that only the leaders of each class could occupy the base.

The stream flows slowly. It is a regular stream about 10 meters wide. Behind it are deep forests and gravel roads. However, this place seems to have been specially tidied up. It is quite spacious, and some are even too spacious.

No, this couldn't have been an accidental environment; it had to be a space created by the school. Beside the river stood a wooden sign that declared the river a designated area and prohibited from use without permission.

"I'm sure everyone agrees with setting up camp here!" Hirata Yosuke said as he gathered everyone together. "The question is whether or not we should occupy this place."

"Take it! If you take it, you can use this stream! You can also get points every eight hours." Chi, the meritorious person next to him, said without hesitation.

"Well, but in this case, the [Leader] will have to swipe his exclusive keycard every eight hours," Hirata Yosuke reminded.

"Yes! Other classes will see it!" Although Karuizawa Megumi had terminated her cooperation with Hirata Yosuke, she did not go against the trend. She still honestly acted as the leader of the girls in the class to share the pressure.

Even though this is a relatively wide river, there is also a 360-degree dense forest nearby. If someone is secretly monitoring the cat from the woods, the people in Class D here will definitely not be able to detect it.

"Then why don't we just gather together and form a human wall to block it?" Someone below immediately noticed.

Although there were certain risks, this base could provide considerable convenience. At least the drinking water problem could be basically solved. There was no need to hesitate. If it was occupied by another class, it would immediately become unusable.

This place has certain geographical advantages!

"Yeah! You're right. What do you think?"

"Yeah! I didn't expect you to be so smart at the critical moment!"

"Yeah, that's true. If you don't want others to see it, then there's no problem with hiding it!"

"That's all!"

"Just surround it like this!" N.

"Well! Then let's decide who will be the [leader]!" The meeting led by Hirata Yosuke went smoothly, and he was relieved. Without Karuizawa Megumi's assistance, he was really worried that he would not be able to control the situation.

"Hmm... I'd say Hirata!"

"No, no, no, I'll do it..."

"Why don't we just go with Karuizawa?"

Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things, with absolutely no discipline at all.

"Everyone! Listen to me!" The one who came out to take control of the situation at this time was our little angel/popular king/socialite - Kikyo Kushida!

"Can you come closer?" Kushida Kikyo took a seat in the middle of the group and waved to the surrounding students, signaling them to come over. Class D formed two circles, one inside and one outside. Those on the inside crouched down, allowing everyone's head to be visible. The human wall formed by their bodies also blocked some of the noise from being heard through the walls.

"Actually, I thought about it and felt that Hirata or Karuizawa were a bit too conspicuous, but the person who serves as a leader must have a sense of responsibility, right?" Kushida Kikyo expressed her views softly to prevent the content of everyone's conversation from leaking out.

"Yeah! No problem." Hirata Yosuke nodded. He felt that there was nothing wrong with Kushida Kikyo's judgment. He or Karuizawa Megumi were indeed not suitable.

Meanwhile, Karuizawa Megumi was squatting there with clear eyes, not knowing what she was thinking about. The problem was too complicated, and she was too lazy to think about it. She had done what she needed to do, said what she needed to say, and put it aside...

"I think the candidate who meets both of these conditions is Horikita-san." As she spoke, Kushida Kikyo deliberately looked at Horikita Suzune who was standing aside. Because she was not feeling well, although she had recuperated yesterday, she was still a little weak and afraid of the cold, so she wore this coat and folded her arms and looked depressed.

When Horikita Suzune heard that Kushida Kikyo actually recommended her to be the [Leader], she was stunned. What was going on? What was this guy thinking?

"What do you think?" Kushida Kikyo looked at the classmates around her and sought everyone's opinions in a sincere tone.

(Kushita Kikyo: There's nothing I can do. If I leave this family, we'll be separated sooner or later...)

Chapter 117 Gradually Collapse

"I agree! Kushida-san's opinion, or rather, I also think Horikita-san is a good choice for the [Leader] position. It's up to Horikita-san now. If you're willing, I hope you can accept it. How about that?" Hirata Yosuke immediately agreed. "If Horikita-san doesn't object, then how about that?"

Of course, Hirata Yosuke was very happy to do so. After all, he had already wanted to win over Horikita Suzune to help consolidate the class, but the result he got from Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was "disagree". However, Hirata Yosuke still did not give up and was just waiting for an opportunity. He did not believe that a person who was willing to help classmates would ignore the affairs of the class. Maybe there were some difficulties, but there was always a chance!

Everyone's eyes were focused on Horikita Suzune, who didn't seem to be particularly inclined to refuse.

In the face of Hirata Yosuke's "ultimatum", Horikita Suzune closed her eyes and began to ponder the pros and cons of doing so. In fact, she originally did not intend to get involved in these class affairs, but when she thought of what Haruki said to her, the greater her voice and influence, the more help it would be to Haruki, so Horiki Suzune was also shaken.

"If she doesn't want to, then don't force her. I can take her place!" At this time, Sudo Ken, who was standing aside, raised his hand. He seemed to think that Horikita didn't seem to be very willing to accept this job, so he volunteered.

"Okay, I'll be the [Leader] of the class!" Horikita Suzune Nakayu made up her mind and was ready to respond to Haruki's expectations and her brother's expectations. She would definitely do her best!

Ironically, poor Ken Sudo was completely ignored by everyone. Undeterred, Ken finally begged Hirata Yosuke to take the job of helping Horikita Suzune get her exclusive ID card from the classroom base.

Perhaps it was because Horikita Suzune helped him a lot in the previous incident, secretly and reluctantly provided clues about the witness, and was present at the trial meeting on the day as the leader of Class D. Although he was not exempted from the punishment in the end, at least he was not expelled. It can be said that Horikita Suzune made an indelible contribution to the fact that Sudo Ken can stand here now.

Even the simple-minded but strong-limbed big guy Sudo Ken can distinguish between good and evil, so he also wants to do something for his benefactor Horikita Suzune! That's why he was so cautious when he met Haruki and his group on the way.

Sudo Ken was quick on his feet, returning moments later with a card bearing Horikita Suzune's name, which he handed to her. While the possibility of spies from other classes lurking nearby was low, the entire class, out of caution, gathered and surrounded the capture station's equipment. As the green "Leader" card was identified by the machine's sensor, confirming it was indeed its owner, Horikita Suzune, a large "D" class logo appeared at the top of the screen, followed by an eight-hour countdown at the bottom.

"Great! This way the problems of bathing and drinking water are solved! Yay!" Chi, the discoverer of this stronghold, had shining eyes and shouted at everyone to save some points, so that after the settlement, everyone can increase their income a lot more every month.

But obviously, no one buys into his appeal.

"What did you say? How can you drink this river water? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Chi thought that the water in the river could be used for drinking and bathing, which would save a lot of points, but the girl next to him looked at him like he was a fool.

"Well, it's probably fine for swimming or something like that... but if you use it to drink... right?"

"What? Isn't this completely fine? Who is clean here?" Chi, who was unwilling to give up, even started to drink water from the river in front of the girls.

"Yeah, yeah...it does look drinkable..." The boy next to him also chose to agree with Chi's opinion in order to save points. Of course, he didn't have the courage to drink the raw water here directly, so he just expressed his support with words.

Shinohara was so frightened when he saw Ike who was almost crazy that he quickly pulled Hirata's sleeve.

"Hey! Hirata-san... Is this really okay? Drinking river water directly isn't a wise choice. What if I get diarrhea or something..."

Several girls, led by Karuizawa Megumi, gathered and, anxiously, approached Hirata to discuss the matter. It wasn't anything else, but Ike's encouragement had already tempted some students, who, after all, could save a lot of points. Seeing the quietly flowing river, the girls shook their heads in protest.

"I really don't think the water here is drinkable..."

Seeing them secretly discussing things with each other, Chi asked anxiously, "Really? This river water is very clear, just like natural spring water. The drinking water you usually drink might be packed from a place like this!"

Chi was already obsessed, and in order to save points he didn't care how outrageous his words were.

Although the water was not turbid, it was not just the female students who were not optimistic about this practice. Some male students also watched from a distance without much interest and had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

"What's wrong with you? What are you dissatisfied with? There's no reason for us not to take advantage of this ready-made resource! With this, we can distance ourselves from the other classes!"

"Anyway, let's think about the drinking water issue later! Any unnecessary arguments will only waste time and energy!" Hirata wanted to break the status quo. If this continued, there would definitely be a big quarrel. The class atmosphere, which had been very harmonious just now, suddenly became like this. This was beyond Hirata Yosuke's ability. He... couldn't hold it anymore.

There seemed to be many problems with procrastination, but at least it was better than letting the fire continue to burn. In short, if this was what Hirata meant, it seemed that no one would actively refute him, but at this time a very rough voice came out to stop it.

"Shinohara, stop complaining! This is an exam that requires the cooperation of the entire class!"

That's right, he was that man, the number one problem student in the class and the central figure in the last incident - Ken Sudo. He warned the other party in a different tone than before.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't make everyone laugh. The whole class is cooperating with each other? It's not your place to say such things, Sudo-kun! Are you qualified?"

Although the words were harsh, Sudo Ken was unable to refute them, as he was the one who was wrong after all.

Class D seems to have serious problems internally and may collapse at any time.

……

Chapter 118 You are the King of Sea Hunting

On the other hand, the atmosphere in Class B is much better.

When Haruki led a few people to bring the supplies back to the base, the rest of the students, led by Ichinose, had already collected some branches and firewood from the nearby deep forest bushes.

Seeing Haruki and the others coming back, they all gathered together. Haruki leaned against a huge rock and put away the walkie-talkie that Arisu Sakayanagi had given him, and then spread the food and drinking water in the bag on the mat on the ground.

"Is everything going well?" Ichinose came to Haruki's side and asked softly. Haruki nodded.

"Everyone come here and bring over the things you just made!" Ichinose called out to the forest. Haruki looked over there with a puzzled look on his face, but then he understood what was going on.

I only saw a few classmates, both boys and girls, coming out of the woods. They were carrying a shack made of vines, branches, banana leaves... and some plant tissues that Yaohui couldn't recognize at a glance?

There were a few students following behind with other pieces, probably to be used as walls.

They assembled the prepared parts and built a simple shack right above the equipment used to occupy the stronghold next to the boulder, which should be able to accommodate up to ten people.

"Genius!" Haruki gave Ichinose a thumbs up. The young man was indeed smart. Haruki had not thought of this. Ichinose was also a little embarrassed by the praise. With a blushing face, she greeted the classmates around her.

"Then everyone gather here and take advantage of the chaos to seize the stronghold!"

Everyone gathered together, and then some people went into the shack. Yaohui naturally took advantage of the chaos to sneak in, and then pressed his exclusive key card on the sensing area on the base terminal device. After sensing the card, it also began to authenticate the user's identity. After confirming that it was Yaohui, the occupation of the base was completed. A large "B" class logo was displayed on the top of the screen, and an eight-hour countdown was displayed at the bottom.

"Okay! Then the next step is to start working according to the previous division of labor!" Ichinose gave an order and everyone started doing their own work.

Shibata Sa took some people to the diving area on the beach to catch seafood, while a group of girls went to the nearby forest to collect wild fruits and mushrooms. Just when they were collecting firewood, someone had already discovered several fruit trees, so their goal was very clear.

The boys who didn't like these delicate tasks stayed in the camp to set up tents, make fires, etc.

As for Haruki, he was just leaning against a huge rock and watching them work. Everyone was used to it. Haruki could just keep playing badly...

Shibata Sa was very efficient. In less than half an hour, they had already prepared a large amount of seafood, such as scallops, cat's eye snails, pike, barnacles, razor clams, and yellow croaker. Yaohui was a little impressed by them. Upon closer inspection, there were also sea bass, pike, seaweed, crabs, squid, and mantis shrimp.

It’s a bit too rich. It looks like something I bought at the seafood market. Can I still take photos with it?

Yaohui: It would be better if we could get some kelp!

Although it looks like a lot, it is a bit stretched when divided among each person. However, you can't eat too much of this thing. It can be balanced nutrition when eaten with other foods. Otherwise, high uric acid will easily cause problems.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable!" Yaohui never hesitates to give praise, and besides, the other person does have the ability.

After hearing Haruki's praise, Shibata Sa was also very happy, and even wanted to drag Haruki to experience how to go to the sea, but after Haruki's repeated refusals, they finally didn't go.

Since you have done your work well, you can just rest. Young people are full of energy. Although Yaohui is also young, he obviously does not have the energy that young people like them should have.

Looking around, Haruki decided to do something. It would probably take them a long time just to process all the seafood, so Haruki waved his hand and called Ichinose Honami over, then handed her his exclusive key card.

"This is..." Ichinose looked confused, he didn't know what Haruki was thinking.

"Keep it for me first. If spies from other classes come to check on you, you can act a little. I'm going to go around and check on the other occupation zones. Please keep an eye on yourselves."

Haruki finished explaining everything to Ichinose and left. Shibata Sa had intended to follow Haruki, but Haruki refused. After all, the more people there were, the bigger the target would be, and the more likely it would cause a stir. Besides, they might not be able to keep up with Haruki's speed. Going would only hinder them, so it was better to stay put.

Yaohui was very fast and his steps were very light. He was also alert and kept an eye on the movements around him.

He soon discovered several occupied strongholds in the forest and tried to find the ones that were not already occupied! However, Haruki did not do anything. His exclusive key card was left with Ichinose. He had no intention of occupying them just yet. He silently memorized the locations of the occupied strongholds and continued to explore deeper.
