CH 114.1

[Each player will have a 10-second warm-up.]

[Once the warm-up time is completed, the countdown will officially begin.]

After the system prompt, the sky above the players turned blood red.

Above them, a massive countdown timer with the number “10” appeared, and the players regained control of their bodies.

“Who can sell me some acceleration prop cards?” A player with glasses took a card out of his backpack, “I’ll exchange this mall points card with you! I’ll pay ten times the price with this points mall card, or we can exchange for something else!”

The countdown for the warm up went from “10” to “9”.

“I have a extra card.” A player in sportswear took an accelerator card from his backpack not far away. “Didn’t you say you’d pay ten times the price in exchange?”

“You’d better not, brother.” A yellow haired palyer said sarcastically, “You want money more than your life? Who knows if you will have to take another running test later? Isn’t the school concerned with overall development? It is not only concerned with moral and intellectual development, but also with physical, aesthetic, and labor aspects. You should keep prop cards on hand for emergencies.

The player about to hand over the accelerator card paused for a beat. When the player in the glasses saw this, he wanted to cry. He began pleading as he drew several cards from his backpack, “I’ll give you 20, no, 30 times more!”

“Well,” the player in sportswear finally exchanged the card with the one in glasses. “Since I won’t use it, I’ll give it to you.”

The player in glasses quickly shoved the points card at the player in sportswear and snatched the accelerator card.

Bai Lixin looked around at the players. They were all lined up in front of a flat concrete road, and he was standing on the edge of the line.

He tried to reach forward, but there was an invisible wall ahead of him. When the countdown officially begins, the wall will most likely be removed.

Because they were lined up, Bai Lixin could not see all the players’ faces clearly. He only found Zhou Guang within his range of vision.

He got a notification from the chat window.

He opened the taskbar and found the notification for a message from Zhou Guang.

Zhou Guang: [Do you all have prop cards?]

Li Cancan: [I have an accelerator card.]

Xia Chi: [I used points to increase my physical fitness before I came in. It should be no problem.]

Liang Xi: [I also have an accelerator card.]

Zhou Guang: [Let’s try to rush to the front when running. The entrance at the gate looks small, so those at the back will be crowded and trampled, and the entrance will be blocked by players.]

Liang Xi: [Yes, we should go all out at the beginning.]

Li Cancan: [I’m not sure what punishment will be imposed if we don’t make it within the time limit. The system is unpredictable and the atmosphere is a little scary.]

Liang Xi: [I never thought that I would come back to high school after graduating eight years ago.” Ah, I think of my miserable days before the college entrance examination when it comes to high school. I got up early and went to bed late just to get an extra point. It was a nightmare.]

Li Cancan: [Who isn’t unhappy? Can a high school student that has never worked hard be called a high school student?]

Zhou Guang: [Well, you were so miserable in high school but I was different. It was a breeze.]

Xia Chi: […]

Li Cancan: […]

Liang Xi: […]

Zhou Guang, get out of here!

Zhou Guang: [God Xin probably found the college entrance examinations easy too, right?]

Bai Lixin: [I actually took the college entrance exam several times.]

Zhou Guang: ??

It wasn’t a lie. He had just come of age when he first went world hopping, and also went through different ages as he transmigrated.

So, he ended up participating in the college entrance examinations repeatedly. Although the knowledge points and examination methods differed between worlds, their significance was equal to that of college entrance examinations.

Xia Chi: [Anyway, let’s go!]

The warm-up countdown overhead was approaching zero, and the system prompt rang out again.

[The countdown is about to begin.]

[3, 2, 1! The [Strange Campus Talk] copy game officially begins! I wish you all a happy campus life!]

With that, the huge timer in the sky began to move.

[00:44:59]

A sharp whistle came from the distance right away. “The school gate will be closed soon,” the tall, athletic man said to the players, putting down his whistle. “We don’t accept students who arrive late to school!”

“Run!”

All of the players rushed out at the command, accompanied by the sharp sound of the whistle in the background.

The players on Bai Lixin’s side had the most geographical advantage, while those in the middle had the least.

The light from the prop cards that were being activated kept shining. Bai Lixin did not rush out, but instead took a seat in the middle.

Taking advantage of the panic, he finally saw the 100 players participating in this copy.

[Ding! Congratulations to player Huang Mian, who is the first student to enter the school. Other players should make persistent efforts.]

Bai Lixin’s thoughts were drawn back by the system’s prompt sound, and he looked forward to the metal gate. The player in sportswear from earlier was standing behind the iron gate.

The countdown above their heads had reached the 25th second.

It only took 20 seconds for the player named Huang Mian to make 400 meters, so he must have improved his physique to a high level.

No wonder he was willing to give out his prop card. With his abilities, he didn’t require accelerated prop cards.

The first player’s qualification stimulated the panic among the players, and they doubled their effort to rush to the gate.

In the next ten seconds, ten players managed to make it through one after another.

Among the ten players was Xia Chi, and Li Cancan was about to pass through the gate.

Zhou Guang was just behind them, and Liang Xi ran the slowest.

Bai Lixin checked the time and Liang Xi’s speed. If Liang Xi kept up his current pace, he’d be at the gate in no time.

However, the path was crowded.

In the next five seconds, ten more people passed through the gate, and Li Cancan crossed as well.

The majority of the players were still about 100 meters away from the school gate, with one player trailing behind the large army.

There were still over 80 players left on the runway, but the countdown was only 15 seconds.

The player was already sweating heavily. The fear of death and the pressure of time kept squeezing everyone’s nerves, making their underdeveloped muscles tense and their bodies heavier.

The sound of the system suddenly sounded. Why? You are the future of our country. How can you be defeated by a mere section of the road?

[There are only 10 seconds left; how come so many people have not yet entered the campus?!]

The system’s voice suddenly rang out.

[Why? You are the future of the motherland; how can you be defeated by a minor setback?]

[Ding! In order to increase the players’ motivation, the copy will release auxiliary power.]

[This is the only thing that the system can do for you. Please cherish it.]

Players who had fallen into despair suddenly cheered up.

Auxiliary force?

Was it like a random dropped item in online games? Release auxiliary power? How will it be released? Was it from heaven? Or would it suddenly appear before them?

Would they have a chance to cross the gate with the prop card?

Players who had the opportunity to reach the gate within the time limit did not want to be distracted and continued to sprint forward seriously. Liang Xi also started the final sprint and acceleration.

However, players who had made little progress or had given up hope began to look around, hoping to come across the auxiliary force mentioned by the system.
