87: Old Railway Street

In a high-end residence, a Family gathering was underway.

“Huh?”

“Aunt, why is your channel showing Pisces Domain?”

Yang Fan looked at the Seven Regions Genius Battle projection screen, puzzled.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Yang Fan. I always thought your cousin would represent Giant Bear Domain.”

“I only found out yesterday that the competition divides camps based on where the students are from.”

“Your uncle and aunt were both doing business in Pisces Domain in their early years, and their company underwent a transformation midway.”

“Later, we went to several other domains, and it wasn't until Yang Fei was seven that we settled and developed in Giant Bear Domain.”

“I see.”

Yang Fan replied with a slight hint of regret.

Although he was a little disappointed that his cousin couldn't represent Giant Bear Domain, that wasn't the main point.

As the only one in the Family to get into one of the Three Great Academies, and even a Genius cousin with a C-level letter of intent from Black Dragon Martial Arts University!

He had told his classmates countless times about his Genius cousin, and many thought he was bragging or exaggerating.

Now that the Seven Regions Genius Battle was being livestreamed, he would confidently stride into class on Monday, three days later!

[Yang Fan: Pisces Domain - C Zone - Yang Fei]

[Yang Fan: I made a mistake before, my cousin belongs to the Pisces Domain camp.]

[Yang Fan: You'll soon see the value of a C-level contract!]

Yang Fan posted this in a class V-group without any teachers.

This competition had a total of 300 participants, with one commentator for each group in each domain, making a total of 21 commentators.

Viewers could search and select their favorite contestant, locking their perspective to watch the battle.

......

“Let's move individually for now, but don't stray too far. The seven of us will head towards one large resource point.”

Chen Du began to strategize after hearing the rules.

Normally, D-level contract students theoretically had no hope of reaching the top ten.

But directly making them resource-carrying tools, they probably wouldn't agree.

After all, they were all Geniuses, and even D-level Geniuses had their pride.

As tools, the only thing they could pray for was that the team's points must enter the top three.

Otherwise, they would not receive any rewards from this competition.

Another option was for all seven people to act together, not targeting resources, but instead adopting a tactic of directly eliminating people from other domains.

Then, they would collect resources later.

Although Chen Du was confident in this, the risk was also very high. Once they failed, both individual and team points would be lost.

Although the number of people in the three groups was different, points would be multiplied by a corresponding coefficient for groups with fewer people, based on the initial number.

This meant that any group, whether Major General, Lieutenant General Group, or Junior General Group, accounted for one-third of the total score.

If one group was completely wiped out, the team reward was definitely gone.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

This was the choice of High Martial Civilization, and it was also Chen Du's choice.

“Captain, I'll try it myself first. If my ability is indeed limited, I'll come back to help you transport resources.”

A short-haired girl stood up and said after hearing Chen Du's words.

Everyone had no objections to this. As students about to enter one of the Three Top Academies.

They were not only excellent in Martial Dao but also in cultural subjects.

The moment they heard the rules, they all understood the specific mechanism of the competition.

Chen Du nodded, slightly surprised:

“Okay, Jasmine.”

Jasmine only had a D-level contract, and her Life Strength wasn't as high as his. To be honest, she was indeed the weakest in the team.

But fortunately, she had self-awareness and didn't lose touch with reality because of the title of Genius.

“There are a total of 14 large resource points in Zone C.”

“Then let's head towards Lao Tie Street, at this coordinate.”

“From the map, there are very few resources here; an entire resource point only has 20 resources.”

“The competition has just started, so let's test the waters in a place with fewer resources first.”

“We need to guard against not only the students from the other six domains who are like us, but also the Alien Civilization.”

“Lao Tie Street is well-connected, so even if we encounter danger, it's easier to retreat.”

“Chen Fu and I are the strongest in the team. We'll be on the sides, and you'll be in the middle.”

“This way, if anything unexpected happens, we can provide support more quickly.”

This was what Chen Du considered the most stable start.

Having seven people act together or being too dispersed were both not good.

Neither Chen Du, Chen Fu, nor Jasmine, nor the other four, belonged to the aggressive faction.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

......

Lao Tie Street.

“I don't see any resources at all. Is the error that large?”

One reason Chen Du chose the wider area of Lao Tie Street was because of the Black Robe's rule that there was a 50-200 meter error between the resource markers on the map and reality.

This distance was completely visible to the naked eye, but he was worried about obstructions, as he couldn't see through them.

But now Chen Du had already reached the exact center of the marked point.

Calculated by the maximum error of 200 meters, there didn't seem to be any resources within the diameter.

But he didn't see any Aliens either?

Wasn't it either non-resources or Aliens?

Just as Chen Du was thinking.

Snap!

A silver hand suddenly emerged from the ground beneath his feet, gripping his right ankle.

Damn it!

At that moment, Chen Du understood that the 50-200 meter range the Black Robed person spoke of.

It included not only front, back, left, and right, but also up and down!

A powerful downward pulling force came from his ankle, apparently intending to drag Chen Du directly into the ground.

In an instant, a layer of almost solid blue light surged around Chen Du.

Under the effect of 14th-level Spiritual Power Attachment, his strength instantly increased greatly.

He forcefully lifted his right foot, directly pulling out the Alien that was trying to drag him into the ground.

“Silver Demon...”

Chen Du muttered, revealing an expression that said,

I knew it.

The only ones who could hide in the ground were the Hunter Civilization's Silver Demon and Yellow Demon.

Surprise attacks and assassinations were their trademarks.

This was the second time Chen Du had seen a Silver Demon, although this one was only created by High Martial Civilization using technological means.

When he sent Chen Qun back to school, how could a Silver Demon openly block him on the road?

Chen Du still hadn't figured out this question, only being able to assume that the Silver Demon had lost its ability to burrow into the ground after being injured.

However, it ultimately

burrowed

into the ground.

“Alien, die!”

Unlike last time, Chen Du clearly understood the Alien's language this time.

“The simulation is quite realistic.”

Chen Du muttered to himself, raising his staff. From the brief skirmish just now.

He could feel that the opponent's strength was similar to his own.

He could win in a head-on confrontation even without using Mental Energy.

......

Pisces Domain, C-4, at the main camp.

“Our Junior General Group only has 6 people.”

“For safety, I plan to have two people per team, with three teams going to three large resource points to search for resources separately.”

“One person locks in the resource points once, and then both return together.”

“Although this tactic won't get us into the top ten, it can guarantee our team points!”

“You all know the reason, Zhou Xiaogu of the Lieutenant General Group is incredibly strong!”

“With her around, if we operate steadily, Pisces Domain can't say anything else, but at least third!”

The remaining five people all nodded. This was the unanimous decision of everyone after five minutes of discussion.

Although this tactic would prevent their individual points from reaching the top ten, being in a two-person team made it less likely to be eliminated.

Sacrificing individual gain to protect the team was the tactic of the Pisces Domain Junior General Group!

“Yang Fei! You're with me.”

“This way, even if we encounter a strong enemy, we'll have the strength to fight.”

Captain Rikawa Kouban said indifferently to a handsome young man wearing a hat.

“I'm not very lucky. You pick an area, and we'll go there.”

Yang Fei heard this and pondered to himself:

“There are a total of 7 teams, and 14 large resource points...”

After speaking, he pointed to a location on the map.

“There aren't many resources in this place, so very few people should choose it. It fits our steady development tactic.”

Rikawa Kouban nodded:

“Good, then the two of us will go to Lao Tie Street!”
