Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

……

"You're finally back." A male student from Class 7 came over and was about to speak with an anxious expression.

But he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"Have all the people from Xuantiansi left? Have you all encountered ghosts? Did you find yourself back in town after walking around?"

"How do you know?"

“…I fucking knew it!”

Chapter 134: Found a Treasure Chest

No one knows exactly what is going on here.

There are two facts before us.

1. Xuan Tiansi and the teacher group all disappeared.

2. They could not leave Xintongshui Village because the road out had been blocked.

Right now, the only one I can rely on is myself.

There were only five people gathered here, and six people had not returned.

"I suggest that we hold a meeting in advance." The person who spoke was a girl named Wu Shanshan.

"Everyone hasn't arrived yet. There's no need to be so anxious, right?" Kong Wen said, "There are still six people who haven't returned."

"Excuse me, but they probably won't be coming back for the time being." Wu Shanshan shook her head and said, "We also came back here after escaping the bondage of the ghosts. I guess it's the same for you three, right?"

Zhang Ji, a young man wearing glasses and looking gentle, nodded and said, "Indeed... I met a ghost asking for directions on the way. He said he couldn't lift his head to see the road, so he asked me for directions, asking which way to get to Wang's house."

"How did you answer?" Qiu Tongtong, the other of the two girls, asked curiously.

"Any answer in that situation would be wrong, and I really didn't know." Zhang Ji pushed his glasses. "So I kicked him to the ground and ran away."

"Will physical means work? Isn't this a rule ghost?"

"It's indeed useless against evil spirits, but it's useful against ordinary ghosts." Zhang Ji replied.

Kong Wen immediately praised him, "You are quite good. You are so knowledgeable. Are you a lay disciple of the Taoist sect?"

"I'm not."

"Then how did you learn this precious family book?"

Zhang Ji replied, "...storytelling."

It was a bit dull.

Bai Yu broke the silence and looked at Wu Shanshan: "According to what you said, the other six people might have been captured by the ghost?"

"Yes, and it's already half past five and pitch dark. We're not in a good situation," Wu Shanshan said. "We were the first to come back, and we've been waiting for half an hour. I don't think they'll come back. Next, we need to go find someone, but before that, we have to have a meeting."

"Meeting?"

"Yes, in this special situation, decision-making is a very important step." Wu Shanshan was very capable, as if she had rehearsed this kind of situation before, and said calmly: "We have all participated in various social practices and exercises, and we should understand this. In this case, we must make a collective decision, and once a decision is made, it cannot be easily changed."

"I agree." Zhang Ji nodded. "Group strength is great, and group decision-making is equally important."

Kong Wen shook his head and complained, "There are only a few of them. There's no need to make a big deal out of it."

"There are eleven of us in total, and we don't know each other. Of course, we need to get to know each other well and understand our differences so that we can make decisions more easily." Wu Shanshan took the initiative and said, "I'm Wu Shanshan from Class 5, and I'm also the class leader. There are five students from Class 5 participating in this practical class... I'm very familiar with the other four, so I hope you can give me the decision-making power. Let me make the small decisions, and we can vote on the big ones."

Kong Wen didn't say anything, and neither did Zhang Ji.

Bai Yu said calmly: "Decision-making power...?"

"I was originally planning to do this during this practical class, but I did it a little early." Wu Shanshan pressed her chest. "I'm not stupid. I'm not doing this to compete for the right to speak, but to prevent the group from splitting up and going our separate ways. This can easily lead to danger and bad consequences."

She continued, "I'm not just talking, please listen to my analysis of the current situation."

"Regardless of whether this is a social practice class or not, we must recognize the current situation and hold on as long as possible. If there is an accident, we need to give the adults outside enough time to rescue us."

"If it's just social practice, we only need to stick with it for seven days."

Kong Wen was about to speak when Bai Yu stepped on his foot, signaling him not to speak.

Zhang Ji took the initiative to speak: "We say we must persist, but do we have the supplies?"

"Yes, supplies are the most troublesome. Seven days of food and water for eleven people is a problem." Wu Shanshan snapped her fingers. "But we have checked this in advance."

"We have food and drinking water," Qiu Tongtong said. "We've checked. There are some supplies stored in the white tent. We sorted it out before everyone came. There are some daily necessities here, a certain amount of drinking water, and rainwater collection and purification equipment... As for food, there's self-heating rice and self-heating hot pot, as well as some compressed biscuits, not a lot. There's also a bowl of unfinished instant noodles... all left by Xuan Tiansi."

"If we live frugally, it'll be enough for us..." Wu Shanshan paused, "Five days."

"Only five days?"

"If each person eats one portion, two meals a day will be enough for five days." Wu Shanshan continued, "If you must eat one meal a day, you can last up to ten days. However, in this place, I still recommend eating your fill rather than skimping."

"why is that?"

"Because once a person is weak, they're easily taken advantage of. Ghosts and spirits can mostly control those who are weak. You're all teenagers with strong yang energy. As long as you're well fed and well-drinking, you don't have to worry about being possessed by ghosts." Wu Shanshan said this and took out her backpack. "We also brought some snacks with us... but we kept it a secret from the teacher. I had suspected that this social practice class wouldn't be easy, so I made some preparations in advance. The snacks here are all high-sugar, high-calorie desserts and energy bars. They won't completely fill you up, but they can provide energy."

She spread out her hands: "Everyone can take two pieces for emergencies."

Having said that, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Wu Shanshan will get the decision-making power and the right to speak.

……

A camera was hung on the tent as a disguise.

The situation here can be seen through the camera. In fact, Xuan Tiansi has spies in the entire village.

The entire negotiation process fell into the eyes of Xuan Tiansi and his men. They moved to another place and set up tents again near the bus.

Zhao Ping'an stroked his stubble. "This girl is incredible. She has high emotional intelligence and IQ. Her high IQ is that she prepared the food in advance, which proves that she has foresight. Her high emotional intelligence is that she brought this out to prove that she has no selfish motives and can also win over the other party."

Monk Kongjian also rubbed his bald head. "Also, she casually mentioned earlier that there were five students in her class, which almost made up half of the group. She was hinting at the others. Even if they didn't agree now, her group still had a numerical advantage among the eleven. The other students didn't know each other, so it would be even more difficult for them to form an effective alliance."

The team leader also praised: "Although Wu Shanshan's talent is only ordinary yellow level and not a genius, her interpersonal skills and personality are indeed very good. She is also a capable and practical cadre in the class. Having her lead the team this time will make things a lot easier."

Zhao Pingan also breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the smiling Buddhist monk: "This is the best."

He didn't want any problems to arise during this social practice... and there were less than three days left before the miasma from the ghost den spread.

However, at this moment, a discordant sound was heard in the picture.

This made everyone in Xuantiansi suddenly become nervous.

……

"Before you make a decision, I have something to say." Bai Yu said.

Wu Shanshan looked at Bai Yu. She had always known this boy. It would be more accurate to say that there were few people in Nanling No. 3 Middle School who didn't know the students in Class 1 of Grade 3, especially the influential figure Su Ruoli... and as her childhood sweetheart, Bai Yu was also forced to receive more attention.

Especially when the first class of senior high school encountered a disaster, the miracle of group survival really attracted the attention of many students.

Wu Shanshan had also heard that Bai Yu had entered the Changye Division several times and even received several banners. She also occasionally heard teachers mention that his moral rating was already the highest level in the school.

If there is anyone here who can challenge her...it's probably only her.

She thought that Bai Yu's usually dull personality was just an act, and in fact he was always hiding his incompetence.

"Please say."

Wu Shanshan is ready to meet the challenge from the other party.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yu suddenly kicked the ground. After the floor shook, a steel plate bounced off, revealing several silver metal boxes from under the ground.

He also didn't know why there was a treasure chest icon in this place, and it was marked with red letters... It shouldn't be a violation of etiquette or morality to take it away privately, right?

Forget it, it’s already this late, I can’t care about so much!

All the mistakes are Xuan Tiansi's fault!

"This is what I want to say." After making the decision, Bai Yu lifted a metal box from the ground. "Xuan Tiansi's funds are quite sufficient. They don't fight a battle without preparation. When they go on business trips, they must have a lot of emergency supplies on hand, like this..."

He raised the corner of his lips: "I didn't expect that I could dig up a treasure chest!"

……

"Damn it, you didn't even take this thing back!" Zhao Ping'an glared at the other people in Xuantiansi.

"Well, Taoist Zhao, we didn't expect to be found. We hid it very deep, and even added a cloaking talisman..." The civil servant of Xuantian Division scratched his head helplessly: "The evacuation time was too short, and we didn't have time to move."

Zhao Ping'an's eyes suddenly turned red: "These are all good things that were transferred in half a month ago. I usually don't want to use them. How can I let the students waste them!"

"Amitabha, calm down, be composed, and be at peace." Monk Kongjian comforted.

"Calm down! How can I calm down?"

"Don't worry, how would these students know anything about talismans? I'm afraid they don't even know how to use them."

After hearing this, Zhao Ping'an thought about it. Indeed, even professionals might not be able to distinguish these talismans, so how could ordinary students do it?

"It's also..."

Zhao Pingan calmed down and said, "How could an ordinary student possibly use this thing? I am thinking about this for my own good."

Just when the atmosphere on Xuan Tiansi's side became a little more harmonious.

Another sound was heard from the screen.

"I know all of these!"

Zhao Ping'an turned around with his eyes wide open. On the screen, Zhang Ji was holding a talisman in his hand, smiling broadly. "This is the Evil-Exorcism Talisman. I know it! I saw it at the story club!"

A roar echoed in the cold night sky.

"What publisher would teach this? I'm going to sue them!"

Chapter 135: Working Hard to Deplete Xuantiansi's Funds

When they casually opened the metal box, the things inside immediately made Kong Wen and Zhang Ji's eyes light up.

"Are these all talismans?"

"Evil-dispelling talisman, I recognize this one." Zhang Ji took out one of the pure white talismans. "It's a one-time talisman for dispelling evil spirits. It's said that it can even break illusions like ghost walls. This quality... Wow, Xuan Tiansi is indeed rich!"

"This is the Qingfeng Lu..." Zhang Ji looked at the one in Kong Wen's hand again. "If you stick it on your body, you'll feel the cool breeze. It lasts for five minutes and increases your speed."

“This is all…”

"Yes, I saw it in the story club." Zhang Ji nodded repeatedly.

"Wow! The Vajra Mantra! This is incredible! It can significantly increase your defenses. It's said that even evil spirits can't hurt you at all. It's incredibly valuable. You can't even buy one for tens of thousands!"

"Wow, there are also black donkey hooves! This..."

"It can restrain zombies, right? We all know that." Bai Yu interrupted his excited explanation.

"I feel like we've dug up Xuan Tiansi's treasure trove. It's full of good stuff." Kong Wen waved his hand: "Aha, now we don't have to be afraid of evil spirits! Beat him up!"

He touched Zhang Ji's arm as he spoke, "Speaking of which, is boy's urine effective against ghosts?"

"It's ineffective against ghosts, but it's useful against monsters with low cultivation." Zhang Ji replied.

"As long as it works."

"You're not a virgin." Zhang Ji glanced at Kong Wen and said disdainfully, "Only boys under ten years old have virgin urine. You're at most a virgin."

Kong Wen blushed when he heard this: "What's wrong with me being a virgin?"

……

"You know what? Zhang Ji is incredibly knowledgeable," Monk Kongjian exclaimed in amazement. "He's actually quite knowledgeable. Did he learn all that from reading extracurricular novels? He's a promising talent, isn't he?"

"It's just some basic knowledge. You can learn it in a week of accelerated training at Xuantiansi!" Zhao Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's not really a skill!"

"Old Zhao, don't bring personal emotions into this."

"How could I not bring it in? That's more than half of our department's activity funds for this quarter!" Zhao Ping'an said frantically, "This is for dealing with the vicious ghosts that escape from the ghost cave. There are several boxes of it!"

The teacher in charge smiled helplessly: "So, let's go get the things back now?"

Zhao Pingan stood up: "Go immediately!"

"That's inappropriate!" Kong Jian shook his head and said, "Classes have already started. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go back now? Don't we in the Xuantian Division have any dignity?"

Zhao Pingan blew his beard and glared: "Can face be eaten? Money is more important than face!"

Kong Jian chuckled, "Amitabha, let's keep going and see. These students may not use the talismans recklessly. With their spiritual power, they won't need more than a few... If we can discover some talents that are suitable for my Xuantian Division, it will be a return on investment."
