Chapter 1087: Chapter 659: If You Can’t Die, Keep Moving Forward!
At this mont.
Zheng Yuandong and Lu Yuan, with nothing else to do, were watching the wall climbing challenge.
Even at 1 a.m., the area in front of the 10-ter wall was still packed with people, requiring each pair to take turns lining up.
Everyone had been tempted by the academy’s APP; each one had failed before but was now returning to face it again.
Zheng Yuandong curiously remarked, “Why are there still so many students? Many surely left last night.”
He knew so would keep striving here but didn’t expect such numbers.
Lu Yuan said quietly beside him, “Qing Chen’s efforts to expand the pool of potential Knights are downright extre and outrageous…”
By 2 p.m., several accounts began extolling the virtues of Zhi Lanxing, Realm callia, and Immortality.
By 4 p.m., other accounts started shouting slogans like “Not challenging makes you less of a Chinese.”
By 6 p.m., the academy even published a notice: All successful challengers can now return to the challenge site for a lottery, and 10 lucky challengers will receive additional rewards of Immortality, Zhi Lanxing, Realm callia!
Moreover, at the challenge site, soone even received double rewards for being the 66th, 73rd, 88th, 166th, 179th, and 188th lucky challengers.
The students present were bewildered, wondering if this was so kind of consur appreciation event. How could there be a randomly chosen lucky viewer?
Are you running promotions or what?
While numbers like 66 and 88 being lucky are understandable, how did 73 and 179 beco lucky challengers?
Honestly, isn’t the challenge oversight team a bit too hasty in picking lucky challengers?!
However, all explanations were left to the challenge oversight team, and every student hoped to be the lucky one.
When the news spread, everyone got even crazier.
Students started returning to the wall climbing challenge venue one by one; the atmosphere was already heated.
However, deciding to return ans sweat, effort, and a price to pay. The only constant here seems to be the amount of Chicken Blood Sprout on the ground; as long as a little is used, Xiao Qi and the others would replenish it.
With only 7 hours left until the challenge ends, everyone is racing against the clock.
As of now, 189 people have completed the first stage of the challenge.
If you look into the night, you’ll find that over a hundred successful challengers, led by Chen Zhuoqu, have already started tackling the second stage.
The towering 48-ter gray wall.
This spirit of relentless pursuit is both infuriating and admirable.
Actually, strictly speaking, Chen Zhuoqu and the others aren’t really oppressive competitors.
The essence of relentless competition is that individuals compete excessively, leading to a decrease in their returns.
In other words, when the cake is only so big, relentless competitors make the cake require 200% effort to earn instead of the usual 100%.
The quantity of the cake hasn’t changed, but the effort required has doubled.
However, using the term relentless competitors in this challenge is different because no one knows how big the Agricultural College’s cake truly is…
Just because soone worked harder doesn’t an you’ll earn less.
In the current situation, perhaps the word hard work is more appropriate for them.
Of course, this doesn’t prevent everyone from calling them relentless competitors.
Discussions over at the 10-ter wall don’t affect Chen Zhuoqu and others; she just glanced back while leveraging a foothold and continued climbing upward.
And then fell ti and ti again.
The safety rope on the 48-ter wall was even more compromised.
You’ll have a 5-ter fall before it tightens, risking head injury.
…
…
Countdown 68:00:00.
Four in the morning.
Outside the academy’s Points Exchange Location, students lined up in a long queue to grab the morning’s limited products.
Compared to the chaos and disorder of the first day, the queue was already well-organized.
At this mont, dozens of ragged students erged slowly from the night.
They were covered in injuries, blood running from soone’s arm down to their fingertips.
Their clothes were worn out, presumably torn sowhere.
When these people arrived, they caused a small commotion and chatter outside the Points Exchange Location.
This is Whale Island, not a battlefield; how did everyone end up like this?
The injured students didn’t explain anything; they just quietly joined the end of the line, waiting to exchange products.
Soone curiously asked, “Brother, what happened to you guys?”
The group of injured students answered, “We were challenging the academy’s wall and got injured there.”
“Then why suddenly co here?” soone puzzled.
The injured student explained, “We all felt like we don’t have enough strength, just a bit short, so we discussed using all our remaining points to temporarily grab so Immortality fruit.”
At this ti, a newly awakened student ca running from the dormitory area.
An injured student looked at him and said, “Sorry for waking you. I don’t have enough points… Can I borrow your points to grab so fruit first? If I complete the challenge, I’ll pay you back imdiately; otherwise, I’ll earn points to repay you.”
The newly awakened student chuckled and put his arm around his shoulder, “What are you talking about? We’ve been buddies for years. Don’t worry, I’ll queue up and get it for you.”
