Chapter 36

"Uh!"

Shen Jingran felt a bit overwhelmed for a moment, sneaking a glance at Sun Yuan, worried that he might be repulsed by her.

Even a day ago, Shen Jingran wouldn't have cared much about Sun Yuan's thoughts, but now it was different. This was a super important person, and she had to hold on tight.

"Chen Yang, Sun Yuan is so amazing and generously shared the Ganlu mushrooms with us. It's a blessing for all of us classmates, and we are truly grateful."

Shen Jingran sighed.

"Right, Big Brother Dajing is too awesome!"

Wang Xu was glad to be Sun Yuan's roommate: "Sun Yuan, I'll make your instant noodles for you from now on!"

"Big Brother Dajing, you don't have to clean the dorm room anymore; I'll do it!"

Zhou Ze took the initiative to share the tasks.

His hand was injured, so his gratitude to Sun Yuan was even stronger. Without Sun Yuan's mushrooms, he would have been in serious trouble.

"Isn't Qin De looking for mushrooms? You guys should hurry up!"

Shen Jingran urged, implying that she wanted to part ways with them.

"There's less than an hour left before the game ends. How can all of us gather enough mushrooms?"

Chen Yang questioned.

"What do you want to do then?"

Xu Qingshan had already seen through this guy's ulterior motives.

"Give us your mushrooms, or this won't be over!"

Chen Yang stared at Shen Jingran. At this critical moment, he had no interest in being a sycophant.

Actually, they had considered robbing the mushrooms before, and now was the perfect opportunity to act.

With so many girls, it was like a free meal.

"Classmate, do you think we are easy to bully just because we are girls?"

Zhao Siyu spoke up, her voice calm: "There are many teams trying to rob mushrooms. Have you ever thought about why we, so many people, are still safe?"

The originally aggressive Chen Yang and his five companions were startled by these words.

"With your physique, Qin De would definitely be willing to team up with you. He's also worried about being robbed, so you can be second in line for the mushrooms, or even your six can go after Qin De's boar."

Zhao Siyu sized up the group and smiled: "Or do you want to taste the flavor of Team Leader Sun's bat?"

"Shen Jingran, this isn't over!"

Chen Yang cursed and turned to run after Qin De.

The others, seeing this, lost their momentum and hurriedly followed.

"Senior Zhao, your eloquence is impressive!"

Sun Yuan praised.

He had indeed not been wrong about Zhao Siyu. She was a wise leader, intelligent, quick-witted, and could remain calm and analyze problems at critical moments.

Although he could handle Chen Yang and his group, it was much easier to retreat the enemy with a few words.

"Team Leader, you flatter me."

Zhao Siyu didn't take credit: "Without your strength to rely on, my eloquence would be useless."

Shen Jingran observed Zhao Siyu, thinking to herself.

This girl is quite capable!

Compared to someone like Zhen Yu, who only knows how to act cute and be a team favorite, this seemingly weak girl is a formidable opponent.

Sigh!

The most annoying are the women who rely on their brains.

"Li Wan, why don't you go pick mushrooms?"

Sun Yuan was puzzled.

"Uh!"

Li Wan was secretly looking at Sun Yuan and didn't expect him to suddenly speak to her. She felt guilty and looked away: "I... I..."

"What? If you don't go find mushrooms, you'll die."

Shen Jingran urged.

"I... I won't look anymore!"

Li Wan lowered her head.

"Huh?"

Zhen Yu was shocked. Was she just waiting to die?

"What's wrong?"

Sun Yuan frowned, enough to crush a crab.

"There are so many people trying to get mushrooms. I can't get any, and I don't want to fight. In the last bit of time, I just want to be with you... with all of you!"

Li Wan actually wanted to be with Sun Yuan.

Does this girl like the senior?

Zhen Yu guessed.

"Don't give up easily!"

Sun Yuan advised.

Li Wan shook her head.

Zhao Siyu noticed something but didn't want to say it.

"Let's go to the teleportation array first."

Sun Yuan didn't know what to do.

Shen Jingran had three Ganlu mushrooms, completing her task, and was in a good mood, chatting with Sun Yuan and occasionally with Xu Qingshan and Zhao Siyu.

This time, she decided to stick with Sun Yuan.

"What's going on with those two?"

Sun Yuan noticed that Wang Xu and Zhou Ze were very cold towards each other, almost ready to fight, so he secretly asked Zhuo Wen.

"They had a conflict over the mushrooms!"

Zhuo Wen revealed.

Although they were roommates, the relationships among them varied.

Zhuo Wen knew of several dorms where arguments and fights had broken out due to snoring or late-night gaming.

Some students even changed dorms due to unpleasant interactions, which was quite common.

In such matters, Sun Yuan couldn't say much and remained silent.

Ding!

[You have a new tip, please check it promptly!]

Sun Yuan raised an eyebrow and quickly opened the attribute panel, clicking on the envelope in the upper right corner.

[A noble saint admires your generosity and kindness, tipping you one divine coin and looking forward to your future performance.]

Seeing this message, Sun Yuan confirmed it.

This divine master lived up to her name, with a saintly heart.

To keep her tipping, he would have to keep doing good deeds.

But that was absolutely impossible.

These were his classmates, and finding mushrooms wasn't that hard. He could help, but he wouldn't risk his life to save them.

In comparison, the righteous dark beast was easier to please.

Shen Jingran leaned over, pressing against Sun Yuan's shoulder, to read his message.

"Tip? Divine coin?"

These four words caught her eye, making her envious.

Even Zhao Siyu was curious.

"The survival game we are in seems to be broadcast live. Some divine masters watch, and if a player's actions align with their preferences, they will tip."

Sun Yuan explained.

"Oh!"

Xu Qingshan wasn't interested; he never expected to get such a windfall.

"Do you have two divine coins now?"

Shen Jingran was envious: "That's great!"

Zhen Yu pouted. If she knew the senior had four divine coins, she might be so excited that she'd throw herself at him.

Sun Yuan smiled slightly but didn't answer.

He wasn't stupid!

Who doesn't like a beautiful and attractive woman?

But for Sun Yuan to be a sycophant was absolutely out of the question.

A mile, 500 meters, and they quickly reached the teleportation array.

It was a stone altar made of dozens of huge stones, with mysterious patterns emitting a pale yellow light.

A magical aura enveloped them.

At the teleportation array, over fifty people were gathered, holding sticks and looking furious.

Besides them, Sun Yuan saw five other teams, all keeping a distance and watching warily, ready to flee at the first sign of trouble.

Deng Zhifan observed these students.

They had clearly gathered here because they had found mushrooms and wanted to complete the game.

No way!

"If I can't live, no one else will either!"

Deng Zhifan shouted.

With time running out and no mushrooms found, he was desperate and had gathered a group to make a last stand.

"Senior, what do we do?"

Zhen Yu didn't expect this. The pressure of death could make people do anything: "Should we fight our way in?"

"Ah?"

Zhou Ze was worried: "There are over fifty people on the other side, how can we fight?"

"Maybe we should negotiate with the other teams and go in together?"

Zhao Siyu suggested.

In this situation, no one wanted to be the first to challenge Deng Zhifan's group. They all wanted to be the last to benefit.

The situation was at a stalemate.

More players appeared nearby.

Sun Yuan saw Su Tanyu, whose white dress was now more stained with blood, now dark purple, and her long black hair fluttering in the wind, giving her a贞子-like appearance.

Ding!

[You have a new game announcement, please check it promptly!]

All players received the message and quickly opened it.

[Players must enter the teleportation array by 12:00 to complete the game 'The Little Red Riding Hood Who Picks Mushrooms.' Those who do not enter by the deadline will be eliminated on the spot!]

This grim announcement increased the pressure on the players.

"Ha ha, let's all die together!"

Deng Zhifan laughed maliciously, rallying his group: "Everyone, be careful, don't let anyone escape!"

"Big Brother Dajing, what do we do?"

Zhou Ze was anxious.

Before Sun Yuan could answer, Tang Tang, wearing a leather skirt and stockings, chewing gum, and carrying an AK47, emerged from the dense spore forest, followed by a yawning Tang Yan.

"Get lost!"

Tang Tang shouted.

"Want to enter the teleportation array? You need to pay a Ganlu mushroom as a toll!"

Deng Zhifan said, then rallied his group: "What are you afraid of? We're all going to die anyway, so why not fight?"

This statement united the group in their resolve.

Tang Tang chuckled and raised the AK47: "Do you want bullets?"

Whoosh!

Everyone instinctively backed away.

"Kid, when you extort, have some eyes!"

Tang Yan warned, walking past Tang Tang toward the teleportation array.

As he passed by Deng Zhifan's group, no one dared to move.

The gleaming gun barrel made them afraid!

Tang Yan and his sister climbed the steps and were about to enter the teleportation array when they suddenly stopped.

"Sister Tanyu?"

Tang Tang saw Su Tanyu, her eyes lighting up, and waved: "Do you have enough Ganlu mushrooms? I have some extra!"

Whoosh!

Everyone's eyes turned to Su Tanyu, amazed by her beauty.

"Thanks, I have enough!"

Su Tanyu remained calm, her expression unchanged.

"Then come over quickly!"

Tang Tang urged.

"Can I call a few more people?"

Su Tanyu asked.

"Sure!"

Tang Tang didn't mind.

"Sun Yuan, come with us?"

Su Tanyu looked at Sun Yuan and extended an invitation.

Whoosh!

Everyone's eyes turned to Sun Yuan.

Especially Tang Yan and his sister, who looked at Sun Yuan with surprise. Who is this guy? Why did Su Tanyu invite him?
