Zongman: I can modify the status bar

Cut off their source of food, and cut off their supplies, and the thief can be captured!

Although Haruki really couldn't think of this, according to Arisu Sakayanagi, she was able to think of this because she got inspiration from Haruki's practice of clearing the entire jungle.

Since Class A's camp has enough supplies to get them through the exam period, it would be easy to put them in trouble. Isn't it enough to just make sure they don't have any?

Although it is very easy for Haruki to do this, it is inevitable that he will use some of his abilities in the process. Once these abilities are used, the people who are hit will basically lose their value to be harvested. In fact, in a sense, this creates an embarrassing situation of favoritism.

If you can't take care of both the beginning and the end, the result will be almost the same as not taking any action.

However, Haruki overlooked a very important point about opinions, that is, not all the people in Class A obey Katsuragi Kōhei, and of course not all the other people are Sakayanagi Arisu's people. There are also some who have not taken sides or are fence-sitters. They only care about who can bring them benefits.

Therefore, even if there are minions of Sakayanagi Arisu in Class A, it is not an easy task to destroy the supplies inside the cave.

Firstly, there are too many supplies and fire prevention takes time. Secondly, someone will try to stop it. After all, if you run out of supplies, you will be the one who suffers. Even the passers-by in Class A will not want to starve for the rest of their lives.

So we need to take a long-term view at this time.

……

Chapter 160: Cut off from Food and Supplies

Faced with the unbreakable cave, Haruki really didn't know where to start for a moment. He thought about it for an entire afternoon but still couldn't figure out how to solve the big problem of Class A.

But there is always a way.

On the evening of the fifth day, Haruki received a call from Arisu Sakayanagi.

She buried the minions in Class A and sat down!

It hadn't even been a quarter of an hour when Haruki could smell the pungent smell of smoke in the air. Hashimoto Masayoshi from Class A had actually burned all the supplies in the entire cave.

Regardless of what methods the other party used, they were really ruthless. It seemed that the other party really wanted to kill Katsuragi Kohei.

Finally, Haruki learned from Hoshinomiya Chie that all the supplies of Class A were destroyed. Because it was in Shandong, the thick smoke produced by the burning combustibles inside could not be dissipated in time, which made it impossible for people outside to get in, let alone save the supplies.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, otherwise it would have been a big problem.

However, the school did not end the survival test, but instead blamed it on Class A's improper use of fire. However, considering that all of Class A's supplies were destroyed, no principled punishment such as environmental damage was imposed on Class A. Out-Group 1, 7, . , :

The hard-hit Class A naturally contributed a lot of weight to Haruki. Haruki had done similar experiments before. As long as they were his own people, their effectiveness was actually no different from doing it himself, and the effect could be achieved.

Now the situation has finally become clear. Class A has no supplies, but it is only the fifth night and there are nearly two days before the end of the exam. If Class A withdraws directly, it will not only declare Class D's victory, but Katsuragi Kōhei's reputation in the class will also plummet. At this point, Class A will become Sakayanagi Arisu's possession.

Haruki roughly calculated the time of the incident in Class A. They should have eaten dinner in the evening, so there are really not many incidents left for Class A and Katsuragi Kōhei. In the face of internal and external troubles, what measures will Katsuragi Kōhei take?

It's very simple. When self-contradictions arise in a group and people's morale is low, all we need to do is find a common enemy from outside.

And the best candidate is naturally Haruki.

……

Early in the morning on the sixth day, Haruki always felt that something was strange. He had obviously not done anything, but the weight value kept jumping around, which was almost annoyed. It was not that Haruki did not want it, but the rhythm and timing of this thing were too weird. Why would he affect so many people so early in the morning?

But this still couldn't stop Yaohui from checking in.

After going around the occupied strongholds on the entire island, Haruki came to the cave of Class A's original base. As expected, the occupation device not far from the cave entrance had already been completed by Class A. Out of curiosity, Haruki explored deeper into the cave. Although it had been cleaned, traces of burning were still visible.

However, the people in Class A have all disappeared. Without supplies, this cave has lost most of its function. It was chosen to serve as a shelter for the large amount of supplies obtained from Class C. Otherwise, it would be of no use other than being able to shelter from wind and rain.

In the end, Haruki, who had nothing to do, planned to go to Class D to check on the situation, but something beyond Haruki's cognition happened.

The students of Class A were actually in Class D’s camp.

Yaohui was dumbfounded. Bewildered, he was about to find Lingyin or someone else to ask what was going on, but before he could even get close to the camp, he was surrounded by a dense crowd.

"It was him who set fire to our camp!"

"Yes! It's him. Even without evidence, everyone knows it. First, he occupied all the strongholds on the island and prevented others from using them. Then, he looted all the food on the island. Finally, in order to defeat us, he even came up with a trick to burn down our camp!"

"Everyone in Class D, don't be fooled by this guy's hypocritical mask. He only gave you supplies to make you thank him. He didn't intend to help you at all!"

"That's right! We were the ones who were burned yesterday, so who else could be burned today? Besides our Class A, there are only four classes left on the island, your Class D, right?"

"You better be careful!"

"That seems to make some sense!"

"What do you mean by 'reasonable'? It's such a simple truth, but you still need someone to break it down for you to understand. I've already said that Haruki has bad intentions."

"That's true. They would have given us the supplies normally, but they insisted on discriminating and only gave them to the girls. It's obvious they want to divide us!"

"Oh no! What can I do? My lover is right over there. If you were a girl, wouldn't you be so happy?"

"..."

Remarks like these were constantly being muttered beside Haruki.

Putting aside the truth of these remarks, Haruki did do it, but only a little bit. It would be too hasty to put all the blame on Haruki.

But there were too many people. However, there were also benefits. Even though Haruki was pointed at and scolded, or was treated sarcasticly, his gains continued to rise. They were all excited by Haruki's scolding, but seeing that he was still so happy being scolded, those people began to show disgusted expressions one by one. Maybe they were tired of scolding, and later they were too lazy to scold even if Haruki was right next to them.

It was obvious that this was Class A's plan. Initially, it was just a few of them leading the charge, but later on, it was the few Shabei from Class D who were doing the damage. At this point, Haruki even wanted to apologize to the Class B students who were enjoying themselves on the cruise ship. Calling them stupid was indeed rude, and these people were clearly even more foolish...

Haruki's intuition told him that this matter was not simple, so after the storm subsided, Haruki found Horikita Suzune to find out the situation.

It turned out that after cleaning up the mess at Class A's camp last night, Kōhei Katsuragi brought all the students at Class A to set up camp at Class D's camp.

The motive for doing this is very clear. The stronghold in the cave cannot be used as a camp anymore. Once such a thing happens, it will inevitably happen again. If there is another fire later, there is no need to continue.

As expected, all other places that could be used as camps were occupied by Haruki. If you used them rashly, even if you just stayed nearby for one night, you would be punished and 50 points would be deducted, which was a heavy loss.

So Kōhei Katsuragi thought of taking refuge in Class D's camp.

But did Class D really agree so easily?

……

Chapter 161 Class A Wins People's Hearts

"Logically speaking, even if it was out of some chaste kindness, taking in everyone in Class A would be a bit too much. Plus, some people even joined Class A in scolding me. This is a bit... So, the guys in Class A must have used some trick or made some kind of deal with the students in Class D, right?"

"Well, that's true. You're right, but the specific situation may be more complicated than you said..." Horikita Suzune sighed and looked very helpless.

"What? Class A has lost all its supplies. The only thing left intact should be just over 200 points. What else can they do?" Haruki couldn't think of any generous conditions for expelling Class A, because as long as Class A was allowed to continue to be homeless, its grades would definitely not be good in the end, and Class D, which was able to survive to the end, would definitely get good results.

"I'm the same as you on this point. We think the problem is too simple. Class A never thought about cooperating with Class D at all. Instead, they directly crossed the class limit and cooperated with individual students. In this way, as long as they complete the transaction with most of the students in Class D and reach a certain consensus, it will not be difficult to let Class D accommodate Class A." Horikita Suzune felt bad when she thought about this matter. The class, which was like a pile of loose sand, was very easy to disintegrate or be used by people with ulterior motives at this time.

"For example, a student in Class A promised a student in Class D that as long as the student could help him get through the difficult times and survive the remaining two days of exams, then the student in Class D would be given 5 PR points every month for the next three months as a thank you. Or some students are more generous and directly give 7 to points in return. How can those students who don't have many points in hand not be tempted?" Horikita Suzune's expression was full of reluctance, because she really had no means to counter this move. She didn't expect the other party to directly use money power.

"That's true." Haruki also understood the difficulty. Even if Class D held on to the end, the points saved plus the points for occupying the stronghold would only be more than 150 points. Although Haruki did not ask in detail, even with its own material support, the remaining points of Class D would not be more than points, and this was without guessing the true identity of the class leader.

And even if it ends like this, the points distributed to each student in the next month will only be around 15,000.

And if you reach an agreement with these guys in Class A, the most conservative income is a one-time 5 PR points directly deposited into your account. If you are patient, you can even get up to 7 points in three months. This is really a fatal temptation for the students in Class D who have always been in a difficult situation. Moreover, Haruki also learned from Suzune that because the other party's purpose is very clear, they only bribed a little more than half of the number of students in Class D. This can hardly be considered a trick, it is a naked conspiracy!

If a little more than half of the students in Class D were bribed, then when Class D held a show of hands vote, the situation would undoubtedly be one-sided, and the result would definitely be in favor of Class A. Even Yosuke Hirata would be unable to do anything about this.

What's more, the current situation is that the students in Class D who had not previously accepted the cooperation are begging the students in Class A to trade, but Class A is too lazy to pay attention to them because they have already achieved their goals. This is quite unexpected.

There was no other way, Haruki could only do this. Although it was not absolutely hopeless, the situation was beyond Haruki's control, but he unexpectedly reaped a big harvest. The feeling was already very strong. As long as he persisted in the last two days, he would be able to pass the level.

"Since there's no other way, let's just accept what they have. To be honest, even I find it hard to refuse the conditions these guys put forward. There's only a day or so left, so just bear with it and it will be over." Haruki patted Suzune's shoulder and comforted her.

"But, doesn't this mean I'm completely admitting defeat? I promised you that I would lead Class D to complete the test well. If this happens, I..." Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth. She was a person who never wanted to admit defeat, so of course she wouldn't feel good now. Her class had completely become a puppet of someone with ulterior motives, and she had made up her mind to work hard and even took on the responsibility of a leader. How could Horikita Suzune be willing to accept this?

"Alright! You've done very well. In fact, there are also a group of guys in Class D who have been influenced by you and are even following your pace. I've seen it all..." Haruki took a step forward, gently embraced Horikita Suzune in his arms, and gently patted Suzune's back to comfort her, "Your brother would definitely be very happy to see you become what you are today!"

"..." Horiki's words touched her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. But how could Suzune, who had a stubborn personality, cry so easily? When Haruki let her go, there was no trace of tears at all, only red eyes. "I understand, thank you."

"Yeah, that's right." Haruki pretended nothing had happened, even though he felt a slight dampness on the back of his shoulder. "You'll be busy when I'm not around. I'm telling you, the student council and the class must all be perfect, so that when I come back..."

"What? You're leaving? Where to?" Horikita Suzune suddenly discovered the loophole in Haruki's words and began to ask.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's get through this first. There's still plenty of time!" Haruki might have been in a low mood because he had been forcing himself not to fall asleep these days. He even told this to Suzune, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, then you have to promise me that you won't disappear suddenly!" Horikita Suzune pouted and raised her fist to hit Haruki lightly.

"No problem, don't worry. We will gather everyone together to discuss this after two days. You have to keep it a secret first, especially don't tell Kei. She's not very smart and you never know what she will do then." Haruki reminded. In fact, it was because he trusted Horikita Suzune very much, otherwise he would not tell her these things.

"Okay, I get it. But then again, it's not easy for you either. You've worked so hard to get so many things done!" Horikita Suzune raised her eyebrows frivolously, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

"..." Yaohui didn't say anything, he was used to it.

……

Chapter 162: Shinohara Satsuki's Underwear Stolen

The morning passed quickly and it was lunch time in the blink of an eye.

The remaining students in Class A and Class D were all killing time in the camp. They probably understood the current situation, which was that there was no longer any wild food or unoccupied strongholds.

All these things are monopolized by the super villain named Haruki, and there is only about one day left for the survival test, and the current situation is basically very clear.

Class A can get around 200 class points in the best case scenario by adding the bonus points earned from occupying strongholds in the past few days to the original remaining points.

Although the situation of Class D is slightly worse, it still has an income of 130 to 140 points.

In addition to this, there is a huge reward in front of them, which is as high as fifty points, and that is Haruki.

As long as you fill in Haruki's name in the column of Class B on the final form for guessing other class leaders, you can get 50 bonus points.

Class A will probably get these points no matter what. As for Class D, Haruki is not sure because Horikita Suzune would not guess Haruki from her own perspective. She is smart and naturally found the loopholes in the rules. It does not clearly state whether the 50 points deducted for guessing correctly will be cumulative. In other words, if Haruki is guessed correctly repeatedly, will the points be deducted cumulatively?

But Class B's original points have been reset to zero, and guessing Chie correctly or incorrectly will only affect the bonus points. Haruki is so crazy about occupying strongholds that it is hard for Suzune not to think too much, but she will not ask actively because this is not something she should care about.

On the other hand, if you guess wrong, will the penalties also be cumulative? In other words, if the leaders of all three classes guess wrong, will they be deducted a severe penalty of 150 points?

So no matter which side she considers, Suzune probably won't act rashly. He doesn't know Haruki's judgment at this time and the specific situation.

The question now is how to organize Class A? How can we get the piece that Haruki is missing?

After walking around and punching in, Haruki returned to Class D's camp. However, the smell of gunpowder that he could smell from afar gave Haruki more room to maneuver.

"Hey! What are you doing? Can't we take a nap in the middle of the day?" The boys complained and confronted the girls on the other side. However, they were all girls from Class D, but the boys' side was a mixed bag.

"I'm sorry, Hirata-san! Although this matter has nothing to do with you, Hirata-san...but we have something we must confirm no matter what, so we asked you to gather together."

When explaining the situation to Hirata, Karuizawa Megumi occasionally cast contemptuous glances at the boy behind Hirata. "Just now, because the weather was too hot, Shinohara wanted to take a shower, but he found that his underwear was missing. Do you have any clues about this matter?"

"In... underwear?"

Hirata, who had always been very calm, finally wavered when he heard this word. This was definitely something he had not expected.

Haruki hid in a big tree in the distance and looked down at the D class camp below. To be honest, he did not see the girl Shinohara Satsuki. That girl was always there in every quarrel, but this time she was not here to assist Karuizawa Megumi. Is this what happened?

"Right now, Shinohara Satsuki is in distress in the tent, and Kushida and the others are comforting her..." Karuizawa Megumi stood at the front of the group of girls from Class D, looking very bossy. After she finished speaking, she deliberately cast her gaze towards the girls' tent behind her.

"Huh? Huh? What's going on? Why are you calling us over just because your underwear is missing?"

"Needless to say? One of you took the opportunity to rummage through the bags of the students in Class A last night while they were putting their luggage away and stole it. Since there were so many people around and it was late at night, no one would have noticed such behavior."

Although Karuizawa Kei's criticism was not directed at a very clear person, one could tell at a glance that she was targeting Class A. Why was everything fine for so many days before, but such a thing happened as soon as Class A arrived? Even if it was not Class A who did it, this terrible incident definitely happened because of Class A, and Class A definitely cannot escape the responsibility.

After understanding the situation, Katsuragi Kohei breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of making excuses, because he was an outsider and a student of Class A, so he couldn't say a word, otherwise it would have a counterproductive effect.

The most appropriate thing to do is to wait for these girls to finish making trouble. Anyway, they have already bribed the students in Class D who have an absolute numerical advantage, so they are not afraid of anything when it comes to class decision-making.

"No no no no no! Absolutely not!"

Chi hurriedly looked back and forth between the boys and girls, and it was the boy in the crowd who, seeing Chi's guilty look, said in a calm voice, "By the way, Chi, you seemed to have gone to the bathroom very late yesterday, didn't you? And it took a long time."

"No, no, no! Um, that's actually because the lighting was really bad so it took a lot of effort. That's right, that's it!"

"Really? You really weren't the one who stole Shinohara Satsuki's underwear? Some people even talk about her name in their sleep in the middle of the night!"

"Stupid... No way! I wouldn't do something stupid like that! Besides, don't talk nonsense in your sleep!"

I don't know who among the boys started to blame each other and made the guy they hated take the blame.

"All in all, I think this is a huge problem. Even if there's only a little over a day left, it's absolutely unacceptable for us to live in the same place with a group of perverts who steal underwear, and spend time camping or something like that!" Karuizawa Megumi represented the girls behind her who were frightened at the moment, and with her arms crossed, she looked like she was ready to switch to battle mode at any moment and issue such an ultimatum.

"So, Hirata-san, could you please find the real culprit as soon as possible? The thought of having to share the same air with someone like that makes me sick!"

"This..." Hirata Yosuke was also puzzled. This was mainly because he had never experienced this before, and he had never even imagined such an incident. "But there is no evidence that a boy stole it. Maybe Shinohara-san accidentally lost it himself, right?"

"Yeah, yeah! This has nothing to do with us!"

The boys behind Hirata Yosuke all shouted out their innocence.

……

Chapter 163 Who did it

"I really don't want to imagine that there is a culprit here, I'm sorry..." It's not so much that Hirata Yosuke is shielding the boy, but rather that he doesn't want to suspect his classmates first. The already tense relationship is likely to get worse because of such a farce.

"I know Hirata-san isn't the culprit... but how can you guarantee the others? The best way would be to check the boys' luggage first, what do you think?"
