Survival Arena

He took a deep breath and focused his attention on the rules.

Mad killing, why did it look so much like the rules of a battle royale game?

The 99 Survivors might seem intimidating, but on closer inspection, this rule set was safer than a factional Survival Competition.

At least there was no need to worry about undercover enemies.

Because every other Survivor was an enemy.

Of course, for the weak, these were undoubtedly hellish rules.

"It seems I must choose survival skills that can strengthen my combat abilities,"

Chu Ge murmured to himself. He now had 1200 Survival Points and needed to keep 200.

According to Gao Fei, a Two Stars Survivor would be directly deducted 200 Survival Points if eliminated, which was 100 more than a One Star Survivor.

Upon learning this news, Chu Ge instantly regretted it.

If he had known this, he wouldn\'t have advanced to the next rank even if it killed him.

The screen then shifted to a list of Survival Skills.

1000 Survival Points could exchange for a Lv3 Survival Skill.

Since his promotion to Two Stars, the list of Survival Skills had expanded.

There were five days left to prepare.

Chu Ge must choose carefully.

…

The next morning.

Chu Ge secretly took his phone to school, planning to call his sister Chu Yingying and have her lay low for a few days.

The next Survival Competition was in four days, coinciding with Monday. This meant that during the task time for the mad killer event, Xuanjiang University students would be in class, making them an easy target for the Survivors.

What if a crazed Survivor attacked a university student?

Chu Ge didn\'t want his sister to face such danger.

When he was done with school at noon, Chu Ge went to the cafeteria and called Chu Yingying while in line.

"Hey, Xiao Ge, is something the matter?"

Chu Yingying\'s voice floated out from his phone—light and melodious, quite pleasant to the ear.

Having only been in the north for a short time, Chu Ge thought his sister\'s voice had become much louder.

"Sis, starting from next Monday, make sure you head back to your dorm right after school and don\'t wander around outside,"

Chu Ge said straightforwardly, as he couldn\'t tell Chu Yingying to take three days off—it was unrealistic and he had no tenable reason.

"Why?" Chu Yingying asked with a laugh, apparently surrounded by other girls. Chu Ge heard someone asking who the boy was that wanted to talk to her.

Chu Ge replied with a smile, "Sis, trust me. When have I ever said something like this to you? Just bear with it for three days and afterwards, you\'ll understand why I\'m asking this of you."

Chu Yingying paused, then answered, "Alright, but if I find out you\'re messing with me, you\'re dead meat!"

Her threat didn\'t weigh on Chu Ge\'s mind.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chu Ge hung up.

"Why do you want your sister to go back to the dorm early? Are you afraid she\'ll get picked up?" asked Song Xiaoyu\'s teasing voice from behind him.

Chu Ge turned to look; Song Xiaoyu and Tang Xuejia had queued up behind him at some point.

He said with a laugh, "Yep, my sister is quite pretty. If you were my sister, I wouldn\'t be worried at all."

Song Xiaoyu gave him a glare and huffed, "Are you saying I\'m not pretty?"

Chu Ge shrugged, not giving her a direct response.

Tang Xuejia watched them bicker with a smile on her face.

Not far away, the class monitor Xiao Xiaojie saw this and was so angry his hands trembled as he held his lunchbox.

"Why are they getting so close lately?"

Xiao Xiaojie didn\'t understand. Before, Chu Ge had been inconspicuous and low-key, so how had he suddenly become so popular with Tang Xuejia and Song Xiaoyu?

Just because he could run fast?

Nonsense.

Is running fast even useful?

What, was he going to deliver takeout or courier parcels in the future?

Xiao Xiaojie thought jealously, but as irritated as he was, he didn\'t dare to go over and make trouble for Chu Ge directly.

He couldn\'t afford to lose face in front of all these people.

After getting their food, Song Xiaoyu invited Chu Ge to eat with them, and he accepted. The three of them found a table in the corner of the cafeteria and sat down.

Xiao Xiaojie carried his lunchbox over and smiled at Chu Ge, "Can I sit next to you?"

Song Xiaoyu and Tang Xuejia were sitting in the same row, just beside Chu Ge was an empty seat.

Chu Ge glanced at him and said, "Class monitor, you should go back to the classroom to eat, we still have things to discuss."

Song Xiaoyu, propping her chin with her right hand, looked at Chu Ge and Xiao Xiaojie with interest.

Meanwhile, Tang Xuejia was eating her meal obediently, not casting a glance at Xiao Xiaojie.

"Oh? What\'s up?" Xiao Xiaojie asked curiously.

Chu Ge shook his head and replied, "Mind your own business."

Xiao Xiaojie felt a spike of anger and scrambled his brains, trying to find an excuse to stay.

"Chu Ge, Xuejia said she likes chocolate ice cream, we found a new place, let\'s go together, and then head over to Xuejia\'s house to study," Song Xiaoyu suddenly suggested with a smile.

Xiao Xiaojie\'s heart ached upon hearing this.

Fuck!

He has already been to Tang Xuejia\'s house?

Xiao Xiaojie felt as if the sky was falling. Chu Ge, usually so quiet, had moved so quickly.

Chu Ge laughed and said, "Sure, I want to eat the dishes Auntie cooks. Didn\'t she tell me to visit often last time?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiaojie left with a forced smile.

Tang Xuejia looked up and glared at Chu Ge, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The reason she didn\'t expose the farce between Chu Ge and Song Xiaoyu was that she too wasn\'t fond of Xiao Xiaojie\'s attentiveness.

"She started it, take it up with her, oh, the drama of plastic sisterhood."

Chu Ge deflected the blame, causing Song Xiaoyu to really want to hit him.

Getting away with mischief!

After this incident, whenever Chu Ge would come to the cafeteria, he would somehow end up eating with them again.

He swore it wasn\'t his doing.

With only four days left, after school, he would eat dinner and then lock himself in his room, pushing himself to the limit in the Primary Training Hall.

He spent 1,000 Survival Points to exchange for a Survival Skill.

Muscle Strengthening[Lv3]: Enhances the muscles of oneself, requires 1,000 Survival Points.

...

Having seen Xiao Panda Nangong\'s capabilities, Chu Ge became interested in the idea of bullheaded physical strength.

Now, with the Lv3 Muscle Strengthening he exchanged, he could not only enhance his defensive power but also his physical strength.

His Attribute Panel saw significant improvement as well.

Star Rank: Two Stars

Biting Force: 322

Forelimb Strength: 245

Hind Limb Strength: 289

...

Compared to his previous experience in the Survival Competition, he was multiple times stronger!

Chu Ge felt somewhat confident about the upcoming deadly hunt.

However, now that he was a Two Stars Survivor, his opponents were likely also Two Stars Survivors, and wouldn\'t be as weak as before.

The day before the frantic hunt.

Nangong sent a message to Chu Ge.

Nangong: Boss, I got roped into the Survival Competition again, I feel like I\'m going to get played to death.

Nangong: What\'s your task, boss?

Chuge Siqi: Crazy Hunt, 99 survivors fighting it out on campus, no allies.

Nangong: 666, that\'s exciting, suddenly the Survival Competition doesn\'t seem so bad.

Chu Ge: ...
