Chapter 50

"WHAT? Negative 87?!" On their way back, Yang Ming was shocked when he heard that Bu Ye had such a score, and then he burst out laughing without a care, only to realize halfway through, "That's not right, with negative 87, you should be at the bottom of the list. How are you still alive?"

Qi Yanbin was also quite surprised, looking curiously at Bu Ye, waiting for his explanation.

"Originally, I was going to fail, but I recommended myself to Hongguang as a negative example, so he gave me another chance," Bu Ye said calmly.

"Negative example... Ah, I get it... But, isn't that a bit ridiculous?" Yang Ming said, hardly believing it.

"At least I'm still alive," Bu Ye replied.

As they walked briskly toward the stone room, Yang Ming asked proudly, "Guess what place Qi Daren and I are in."

Bu Ye could tell from Yang Ming's expression, "It looks like your ranking is definitely higher."

"Hehe! I'm second!"

Bu Ye was still quite surprised by this result. In his eyes, Yang Ming was somewhat unreliable. He really didn't expect Yang Ming to have such good results.

"Third place is that pretty boy," Yang Ming said to himself.

"Lu Nan?"

"That's him."

Bu Ye then looked at Qi Yanbin, who smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fifth."

"Who's first?" After asking, Bu Ye's mind immediately conjured up the faces of several people, with Nie Ning's image lingering the longest.

Nie Ning gave Bu Ye a sense of having seen through many things, and his demeanor was quite unique, so Bu Ye was optimistic about his performance.

However, something completely unexpected happened. Yang Ming said, "First place is Guo Su."

"Who's Guo Su?" Bu Ye was surprised.

"See, you don't even remember him. When we found out he was first, Qi Daren and I were also very surprised. We had no impression of him at all. We only remembered after asking others. He talked about his mother's death and the urgency of the moment in the stone room," Yang Ming seemed to have anticipated Bu Ye's reaction.

"I remember now, it was him. But I don't recall his description being very good, just barely passing..." Bu Ye murmured.

"Exactly, so everyone is puzzled about him getting first place."

As they talked, the three of them had already arrived at the stone room. Since another group had already arrived before them, they didn't stop but walked straight in.

The stone room seemed unchanged, with its rough, hard ground and walls, and only a long stone table in the center.

However, 39 out of the 50 people were already gone. After the remaining people stood by the stone table, the room felt even more spacious. As for the original corpses, no one knew where they had gone, but they were definitely not there anymore.

When everyone was gathered, Hongguang didn't speak, and they began to look at each other.

Bu Ye noticed that the beautiful Nie Ning, the young Wang Kun, and the author of the physical book, Song Sicheng, were all there. Including himself, there were exactly ten people. As for the ones who had disappeared, he didn't bother to think about them.

At this moment, a will fluctuation suddenly came from the red light: "After you return, the Jieyuan will still be stored in your minds, and the worlds you created will remain inside. In a sense, from now on, even if you don't come back here, you can still gradually create and modify them. However, to make them tangible, it can only be done here for now."

"Sixth to tenth place, no reward, no punishment. However, since you have managed to survive until now, it shows that you have some ability. Therefore, I will still provide you with complete information about the Heart Cloud Blood Star and a small part of the information about the Abdominal Cloud. Now, you can return."

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, five people in the stone room were directly sucked up, their bodies stretched out, becoming intangible shadows that quickly merged into the red light.

After the five people disappeared, the six remaining people were both excited and nervous. Yang Ming even clenched her fists in front of her to vent her emotions.

The competition at the cost of their lives, she had persisted to the end and was about to receive the final reward. For someone as competitive as her, how could she not be excited?!

She didn't even bother to care that Guo Su was first, believing that she would eventually win back the top spot...

Bu Ye continued to look at the remaining people, mainly focusing on the two besides Qi Yanbin, Yang Ming, and Lu Nan.

One of them was Guo Su, with an ordinary appearance, around thirty years old. The other was the beautiful Nie Ning.

He actually had higher expectations for Nie Ning, but after learning that Qi Yanbin was only fifth, he wasn't as confident. In his view, Qi Yanbin had a deep foundation, and if even Qi Yanbin was only fifth, it was hard to say about Nie Ning. Or perhaps, creating a world wasn't entirely determined by one's foundation.

At this moment, Nie Ning appeared very calm, with her back and long neck straight. However, this didn't mean she was in high spirits; rather, she seemed to have gotten used to maintaining a good posture at all times.

Seeing Bu Ye looking at her, Nie Ning glanced back and nodded openly.

She was a woman with a clear conscience.

Bu Ye also nodded slightly and then looked curiously at Guo Su.

This was truly an ordinary man, with short hair, a square face, single eyelids, and yellow skin. If he were thrown into a crowd, he would definitely sink to the bottom and be impossible to find.

However, this man, despite not having outstanding scores in the initial "written test," made a dramatic comeback in the world-creation phase, surpassing everyone, including the historical expert Qi Yanbin, the naturally competitive Yang Ming, the womanizer Lu Nan, the straightforward Nie Ning, and the cancer patient Bu Ye!

So, this seemingly ordinary man must have some extraordinary qualities that they hadn't seen!

Unfortunately, Bu Ye couldn't read minds and couldn't see anything.

Guo Su, however, returned his gaze, neither friendly nor unfriendly, somewhat...

Cold and distant.

Yes, Guo Su seemed unwilling to interact with him.

Bu Ye didn't mind and quickly withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, the red light spoke again: "First place, Guo Su, come in."

With a "whoosh," Guo Su was directly sucked into the red light, leaving only five people in the stone room, which once again fell silent.

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Going in means you won't come back... I mean, not this time. Qi Daren, Wu Song, you must stay alive! I want to see you next time."

This was clearly a farewell. Qi Yanbin smiled and replied, "Sure."

Bu Ye also nodded and said, "Yeah."

"Nie Ning, see you later," Yang Ming waved to Nie Ning with a smile.

Nie Ning smiled back and said, "See you."

Then Yang Ming fell silent, deliberately ignoring Lu Nan.

Lu Nan, however, was broad-minded and took the initiative to say to Yang Ming, "Beautiful lady, take care."

Yang Ming looked at Lu Nan with some disdain and said impatiently, "Got it, thanks."

"Pop!"

At the end, Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, she put on a serious face and said to Lu Nan, "I have a sister who met a guy like you. Don't blame me for not having a good impression of you."

Lu Nan said awkwardly, "It's fine."

At this moment, Lu Nan was cursing himself for being so stupid to tell such a story in front of so many people. Unfortunately, it was too late to do anything about it now...

"Second place, Yang Ming, third place, Lu Nan, come in," the red light said again.

Yang Ming, about to curse, was already sucked up and merged into the red light with Lu Nan.

The stone room was now left with only three people, and the next to leave would likely be Nie Ning and Qi Yanbin, with Bu Ye, the negative example, being left last.

"Goodbye," the beautiful Nie Ning looked at Bu Ye and said proactively.

"Yeah, goodbye."

Qi Yanbin then extended his hand, patted Bu Ye on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "Take care."

"Got it," Bu Ye nodded.

After about two seconds of silence, Bu Ye suddenly looked up and said to Qi Yanbin somewhat mysteriously, "Although there's a gap, just try a bit harder."

"Haha! Don't worry!" Qi Yanbin understood Bu Ye's meaning and said with enthusiasm.

"Fourth place, Nie Ning, fifth place, Qi Yanbin."

A flash of light, and they were all gone, leaving only Bu Ye alone.

After about a minute, the red light's voice sounded again: "Your turn, negative 87."

Bu Ye cursed in his mind, "You b*tch."

Then, Bu Ye felt his entire spirit suddenly dazed, the light in front of him changed, and the next second, he was standing in another red world.

"The rewards are here, choose three, pick them yourself."
