550: Everyone’s Situation

After resting for a night, Feng Wu and Ink followed the little bunny to the place where cage grass grew. They reached it after walking for half an hour.

Just like the little bunny said, there were over fifty stalks of grass densely packed together behind a large bush. The cluster was the largest they’d found.

After taking a few minutes to harvest the mature plants, Feng Wu and Ink said farewell to the little bunny before walking deeper into the forest. They walked for two hours and along the way encountered other people working individually and people working in groups.

It wasn’t that students didn’t want to steal plants from each other, it was just that everyone stored their items in their dimensional space and the only way to access an owned dimensional space was to kill the owner, which wasn’t possible because killing one another was strictly prohibited.

It was really hard to force anyone to give up their plants too. At most people would get beaten up, and who hadn’t been beaten at least once in the year already? These guys would rather be beaten black and blue than give up their plants. As a result anyone who tried to steal plants inevitably failed.

Since stealing was useless, smart people didn’t bother wasting time trying it, so other than the first wave of attempted theft, no one tried to steal from anyone.

The scramble for cage grass became more intense as time wore on. Sometimes two or three teams would find the same cluster of grass and break out in a fight over it.

Feng Wu and Ink weren’t affected by the tense atmosphere. They weren’t involved in the scuffles but they did have their own troubles.

“Xiao Wu, don’t walk so fast! Wait for me!”

The words with their affectionate undertones did not come from Ink, but rather from a boy neither of them knew. He had a friendly and warm appearance with blond hair and blue eyes that sparkled like jewels. His name was Jia Moore and Feng Wu and Ink encountered him 20 minutes ago.

They had found him lying unconscious under a big tree with various injuries all over. Ink applied healing potion to the external injuries. As for the internal injuries, that was something the guy would have to take care of himself.

After Jia Moore woke up, he insisted it was Feng Wu who saved him. He took the initiative to follow Feng Wu in order to repay her kindness.

Ink was confused. No matter how he looked at it, he was the one who saved this Jia guy. How did it suddenly become Feng Wu? He was a grown man, not invisible OK?

“Ink was the one who saved you.” Feng Wu stopped and looked at Jia seriously.

“Xiao Wu, in my heart, you’re my savior! I believe God must have wanted me to mee you. Something is surely destined to happen between you and I. It’s fate! It's surely fate!”

“Oh? What do you want to happen?” Ink asked darkly from behind Jia Moore.

Jia Moore touched his ear and saw Ink’s dark expression as soon as he turned his head.

“Brother Ink, can you please not interrupt me while I’m trying to build my relationship with Xiao Wu?”

“Relationship?! What relationship? You don’t have a relationship build.” This hateful flirt wanted to hook up with Xiao Wu?

“Well, not yet. That’s why we have to cultivate one.” Jia Moore smiled brightly.

“No cultivation necessary. We met by chance, now it’s time to part.” Ink grabbed Feng Wu’s arm and walked away as fast as he could from Jia Moore. He couldn’t let Xiao Wu fall for the guy’s sweet talk.

Jia Moore was persistent and immediately gave chase.

After three days in the forest, all the students were grimy and gross. They had spent their days, if not fighting each other, then fighting monsters, and busy trying to stay alive while foraging for cage grass. By the time the teacher counted grades three days later, all of them felt reborn.

Even Ink and Feng Wu, who kept a low profile, were involved in two chaotic battles, never mind all the other students.

The teacher took pity on them and gave them two days of vacation and asked that they all use it to rest and adjust their mentality because there would be more field excursions in the future; everyone needed to get used to it as soon as possible.

Feng Wu and Ink left Jia Moore behind when they returned to school. No one could have imagined Jia Moore would cause a huge commotion later.

While Feng Wu was off campus for the three-day field excursion the other two transmigrating girls also had a productive time.

Things happened according to the timeline in the original novel; Zi Cheng finally got together with Caesar, the male protagonist. Zo[notes] tried many times to destroy Caesar’s affection for Zi Cheng, but he failed every time, and ultimately, could not stop the two of them from getting together.

Left with no other choice, Zo had to give up on saving Caesar.

Shortly after Zi Cheng got together with Caesar, she met the primordial spirit of the Demon Ancestor[notes] imprisoned in the virtual world. The two reached an agreement and decided to work together.

The Demon Ancestor coming into the world like in the past could not be avoided. Then with Zi Cheng’s help, the Demon Ancestor wrought unimaginable carnage in the human world.

Ai Lin had been paying close attention to Zi Cheng and had noticed her abnormal behavior early on, and although she wanted to stop it, she knew she couldn’t fight the Demon Ancestor.

The catastrophe of the Demon Ancestor was a calamity arranged by the world’s consciousness for the human world to experience.

Whether it was bad luck or weak strength, you only had yourself to blame if the experience ended up killing you.
