Meng Huai skillfully prepared the medicinal porridge, and soon everyone was served a warm breakfast.
"I couldn't get a reservation at the medicinal cuisine restaurant, and I still have to watch you drink medicinal porridge in the morning. Who can understand me!"
"The shop owner is indeed the shop owner, look at those practiced movements!"
"I want to eat medicinal cuisine again, sigh, it's really getting harder and harder to get a spot! I strongly urge the shop owner to expand the store!"
While they were having breakfast, the other military academy students were clearly not as leisurely, all relying on a single nutrient solution to get by. Even Xiao Wu from the Twelfth Military Academy, after resisting drinking the nutrient solution and failing, could only compromise.
Fortunately, most of the audience was unaware of his identity. Otherwise, if they knew how much he disliked nutrient solution, it might affect their family's business!
It was the second day, and it was another endless battle against star beasts.
The teams behind wanted to earn points to surpass the teams ahead, and the Imperial Military Academy was currently topping the points leaderboard. These students from the Imperial Military Academy had conserved their energy, and after resting for a night, they were even more energized to fight!
"Congratulations to the Imperial Military Academy for successfully killing a 3s star beast."
"Congratulations to the Imperial Military Academy for successfully killing ten double-s star beasts."
"Congratulations to the Twelfth Military Academy..."
"Congratulations to the Fourth Military Academy..."
"Congratulations to Azeel..."
The broadcasts all day long were non-stop. These students were going all out to find and kill star beasts. Anyway, they didn't know where the finish line was, so they might as well earn points while searching for the path.
The best-case scenario might be walking along and suddenly spotting the finish line flag!
The strength of the established five military academies was still somewhat stronger than the newly joined ones. However, the dark horse, the Twelfth Military Academy, was not inferior to the previous five.
After these two days, judging solely by the rankings in this competition, these military academies were still at the forefront.
The sandy planet was vast, and the military academies were wandering without a specific target. As a result, even on the third day, no military academies had encountered each other yet.
The director occasionally provided the audience with thoughtful updates on how far each military academy was from the finish line. Seeing some teams venturing further and further away made the audience frown with worry. Their faces were filled with concern, but the military academy students couldn't see it.
"What if the Imperial Military Academy reaches the finish line, and no other military academy arrives for a long time!"
It must be said that this viewer was prophetic!
It wasn't until the fifth day that, apart from the Tenth Military Academy automatically withdrawing on the first day, only a few individuals encountered danger during battles with star beasts and had to voluntarily withdraw for treatment, thus being eliminated.
"We just can't meet them! Without the struggles of the military academy students, this league is missing something!"
"Then the Second Military Academy wants to cause trouble, but they just can't meet anyone, so they can't cause any trouble. This is hilarious!"
Speaking of the Second Military Academy, their team was sighing in various ways at this moment.
Murong Shuai regretted that the secret weapon he had specially prepared couldn't be used.
Fetta was also puzzled: "Where did the Imperial Military Academy go?"
They had all planned to make those students from the Imperial Military Academy look bad in this competition! And not just the Imperial Military Academy, why couldn't they meet any other teams? How could they widen the point gap without engaging two teams?
Murong Shuai looked at the current points leaderboard: 1. Imperial Military Academy: 305,145
2. Fourth Military Academy: 283,670
3. Twelfth Military Academy: 278,100
4. Second Military Academy...
Seeing their military academy ranked fourth at this moment, Murong Shuai was extremely anxious.
"We still need to find the finish line!"
Murong Shuai muttered to himself. Only by obtaining the points for the finish line ranking could they possibly surpass others.
Although Murong Shuai's voice was not loud, the audience could hear him clearly. Upon hearing this and looking at their distance from the finish line, it was truly indescribable.
"You're dreaming!"
"Boss, you're still very far from the finish line!"
"Dear commander! The Imperial Military Academy is about to pull the flag, hurry up!"
On the other side, Zheng Yiran was also wondering: "It's really strange, five days have passed and I haven't encountered a single military academy."
Rong Feihong said: "Could it be that no one found the way?"
Meng Huai did a quick calculation with her fingers, without attracting anyone's attention. She said: "It seems like no one has found the way."
...
Everyone was speechless. Was it really that difficult?
Hui Xingxiu raised his hand to speak: "Can I ask how they found the finish line in previous years?"
Zheng Yiran, whether truthfully or to appease Hui Xingxiu, said: "Perhaps, we just walked and walked, and arrived?"
In any case, the audience felt that Zheng Yiran was joking, and they all commented with "Haha!", "I'm dying of laughter!", "This fool won't believe it?".
Compared to the solemn and angry atmosphere in the other military academy live broadcasts, the Imperial Military Academy's live broadcast was incredibly relaxed. It couldn't be helped, as they were getting closer and closer to the finish line!
Indeed, it was still quiet even when they arrived at the finish line.
Zheng Yiran looked at the three solitary flags. This scene had never occurred in her years of participation. Wasn't it always a time when the major military academies started fighting when they reached the finish line stage?
A competition was at its most deadly stage just before the finish line.
At this moment, there was no struggle for pulling the flag. Feeling the quiet atmosphere, Zheng Yiran said: "I'm really not used to this."
It wasn't just her who wasn't used to it.
"I'm not used to it either!"
"Are they just pulling the flag? Won't a team suddenly appear from somewhere?"
"I've watched the live broadcasts of other military academies, and they're all struggling on the road!"
"Is it only me who's thinking right now: Is the path Meng Huai pointed out really correct? Is her wooden head really that useful?"
"Did you only just think of this problem? Didn't we discuss it when the path was first pointed out on the first day?"
"No, shouldn't we discuss it again when we reach the finish line?"
"It is indeed worth discussing again!"
Zheng Yiran leisurely pulled the flag, and the broadcast sounded: "Congratulations to the Imperial Military Academy for winning first place, with a reward of 200,000 points."
Alright, upon hearing this broadcast, Murong Shuai's dream of accumulating points was shattered!
At this moment, Fetta pointed to the signal in the sky and said: "There's a signal over there. If there's no broadcast, who got eliminated!"
Others in the same team said: "Could it be the signal from the finish line?"
"The rule is that only when eliminated is there a signal; there is no signal at the finish line."
As they discussed the reason for this sudden signal, Murong Shuai directly said: "Let's head towards it first!"
There was no other way. The organizers couldn't stand seeing these military academy students wandering aimlessly. They simply used the Imperial Military Academy pulling the flag to issue a signal. Whether they could decipher the mystery depended on these military academy students.
After all, the organizers had done their best...
