CHAPTER 726: CHAPTER 726: THE CORPSE-SNATCHING SQUAD

Yue Qiguang glanced at Ji You, who couldn’t even hold the hilt of the knife steadily, and teased: "Come on!"

"Dad is waiting!"

Ji You opened his mouth: "Jiaojiao!"

Chu Jiaojiao immediately leaned in: "Here!"

Ji You raised his hand and pointed at Yue Qiguang: "Attack!"

Chu Jiaojiao: "Roger that!"

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Hugging his Big Chopper, Yue Qiguang jumped several meters away: "Dad disdains to fight with you!"

Saying that, he picked a target and attacked a lone level 1 Long-haired Pig!

Ji You cursed: "Asking for a beating!"

Even if he couldn’t beat him in terms of martial strength right now, didn’t he still have Chu Jiaojiao, the shameless face-hound?

Grumbling and cursing, Ji You regrouped with Sheng Qingyan. Their location was the highest point of the camp, offering a wide view, allowing them to see everything happening in the camp...

Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang stayed near Ji You and Sheng Qingyan—they were snipers—targeting any lone Long-haired Pigs, ready to rush over promptly whenever needed.

Then—

Ji You and Sheng Qingyan set up their bows and arrows, squinted, and shot at the Long-haired Pigs scurrying around the camp.

Their main targets were groups of Long-haired Pigs numbering 3 to 10. After scattering them, the two would immediately switch targets.

Furthermore, when some students were at a disadvantage in fights, the two snipers would seize the opportunity to shoot arrows and assist.

Back and forth, within the vast camp, all the students got a real sense of what shooting skills mean!

Terrifying!

Terrifying indeed!

shots, at least 9 hits; those missed were due to the shots being too far, and the range of the Energy Bow and Arrow couldn’t reach, becoming a hindrance.

Weaker students, in groups of 5, were responsible for hunting down level 1 Long-haired Pigs.

Whereas students with S-class talents like Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Lou, and Lance, concentrated their strength to attack level 2 or higher Long-haired Pigs, and it generally took less than 10 minutes to deal with one!

The Long-haired Pigs were fierce and could have caused significant damage to the students, but the students were well-prepared and worked together in battle. The group leaders coordinated well with each other, and in just a few minutes, they had formulated a battle plan with Ji You.

There wasn’t much time, and they didn’t know they were facing a group of Long-haired Pigs beforehand, so they couldn’t devise a plan based on the characteristics of the Star Beasts. Thus, Ji You’s plan was simple and rushed, just four words:

Divide and conquer!

As it turned out, it was very successful.

It took about 2 hours, the dim night faded, the fog dissipated, and the light of the stars shone on the land of planet NY50.

Daylight broke, revealing everything around; the students looked at the messy camp, the ground littered with corpses of Long-haired Pigs, some were lying flat on the ground.

Or in the bushes.

Or supporting each other with teammates.

...

Then.

Everyone looked at each other, especially seeing each other’s sorry state, suddenly burst into laughter:

"Holy crap!"

"You look so ugly!"

"Damn!"

"I barely recognized you!"

...

Then—

Everyone exclaimed together:

"Holy crap!"

"We actually took down more than 200 Long-haired Pigs!"

"Holy crap!"

"3 of level 3!"

"30 of level 2!"

"Holy crap!"

"Are we still noobs?"

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed heartily, saying in unison, "No! I’m a king now!"

"Hahaha..."

The hearty laughter filled the entire camp, although the camp they built collapsed, and some teammates were injured, luckily, all were minor injuries...

Happy!

Truly happy!

Then—

The students sprawled on the grass saw Ji You leading group 44 members scavenging corpses around the camp!

Students: "???"

"Holy shit! Why are they picking up that stuff?"

Everyone was utterly confused.

Noticing the students spying on them, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Lou, and Lance, fearing others might catch on, moved faster than ever.

Especially Ji You with badge 4444, sharp-eyed and quick-handed, was picking up only level 2 corpses!

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw her hauling three level 2 Long-haired Pigs!

Suddenly—

Someone had an epiphany:

"I got it! The materials from Long-haired Pigs can be sold for credit points!"

"Holy shit!"

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Instantly, the students were no longer lying around lazily like pigs; they all became energetic and scattered towards the Long-haired Pig corpses around the camp!

Ji You, sweating buckets: "Holy shit! Why are these people waking up so early?"

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

"Group 44, charge! Use the hand speed of your eighteen years of singledom, charge!"

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, and others paused, then Sheng Qingyan curled her lip saying, "Dream on, you poor dead! Give up, whoever finds them keeps them!"

Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiguang: "Right! We won’t share with you!"

"Don’t even think about squeezing half a credit point from us!"

Ji You: "..."

While running, Ji You cursed: "Plastic teammates!"

"Plastic classmates!"

"I’m totally over you all!"

Just as she was complaining, suddenly a level 2 corpse appeared in front of her, Ji You’s eyes lit up, about to pounce—

Suddenly, a gust of wind flashed by, Yue Qiguang grabbed the level 2 corpse and stored it in his Space Button, then dashed far off.

Ji You: "..."

Helpless, Ji You gritted her teeth, settled for the next best thing, bending down to grab a level 1 Long-haired Pig corpse at her feet, only for a slender hand to reach over and deftly snatch it, the level 1 disappeared.

Shen Changqing blushing, softly: "I guess my hand was a bit quick."

Ji You: "..."

Guess? And why the blushing? Can’t you not do it if you feel ashamed?

Dammit!

Ji You, infuriated, rushed towards other Long-haired Pig corpses, but alas, she was short and had stubby legs, plus just having been through a fight, her physical strength couldn’t compare to others, taller and longer-legged—

So—

In the following moments, Ji You only managed to pick up two.

She was about to explode in anger!

...

As the Corpse Collection Team of over nine hundred people swarmed in, within less than 3 minutes, not a single Long-haired Pig corpse could be seen in the camp anymore.

Watching this scene, Ji You howled: "Dammit! Dammit! My get-rich plan!"

"Ruined! Ruined! Ruined!"

Long-haired Pigs were even more valuable than long-eared rabbits, mainly because their materials are more usable, with teeth, claws, arrow-like bristles, and thick skin all being valuable materials.

Conservatively estimated, the materials from one level 1 Long-haired Pig would be worth about 600-800 credit points.

...

Watching the students sitting on the ground, each with a Long-haired Pig in front of them leisurely extracting materials, Ji You’s back teeth ached in frustration!

Then—

Ji You took a deep breath, then pulled out a bucket of pure water from the Space Button, and shouted loudly, "Water for sale! 100 credit points a cup of pure water!"

Thirsty students upon hearing it: "Holy shit! Isn’t that a rip-off?"

credit points for one cup?

Are you robbing us?
