Mushroom 74
Since the banquet that night, Chloe found that the elf named Fuen never bothered her again.
Chloe keenly sensed that this matter might be related to Katherine's conversation with Fuen that night, so she took the opportunity to ask.
But Katherine just gave her a rather gentle smile and said the matter could be left behind.
Chloe had to give up.
At the same time, she marveled to herself that Katherine was really a very good person.
The rest time left for the main players by the organizers of the competition was not long. The banquet that night was just an occasional recreation. After the recreation was over, everyone had to be busy training.
After returning to the training room, Chloe and the others saw Ren Yunying in the training room.
After shuttling back and forth between the two places for a long time, she looked much more haggard.
Chloe took the initiative to come forward and ask after her health, "Instructor, are you alright? Do you want your student to give you a shoulder massage?"
Ren Yunying pushed her away, "As long as you don't cause trouble, I'll be grateful."
Chloe retracted her hand awkwardly.
Causing trouble? Specifically, what would be considered causing trouble?
After all, in Chloe's opinion, her performance in the competition could not be considered causing trouble at all. She did not know why Ren Yunying was so angry.
Seeing her wandering eyes, Ren Yunying averted her gaze.
Forget it. Some people are only good at receiving and not giving back. Rather than working hard on Chloe, it would be better not to see or hear anything unpleasant.
So Chloe watched with her own eyes as this chief instructor, who used to cook for her, ruthlessly push her aside without any affection. Then she looked at Anderson with a gentle expression,
"Come, good boy, sit here with me."
Anderson: ?
His cold expression almost cracked. He turned to Chloe with an unmoved look asking for help.
Chloe looked at him expressionlessly, then raised her eyebrows.
Knowing that this meant he had to endure it himself, Anderson pressed his lips together and obediently sat in the place closest to Ren Yunying to listen to her talk about things to note about the next game field.
Everyone sat down in a row, raising their little heads to listen carefully to Ren Yunying's speech, much more well-behaved than last time on the beach.
Seeing this, Ren Yunying was finally somewhat appeased.
Their next game field was on an unnamed planet. The planet was covered with rainforests, with all kinds of venomous snakes and fierce beasts. But on this planet, beasts were the least of their worries.
The first thing they had to guard against was the mushrooms ubiquitous on this planet.
The rainforest was damp, so wild mushrooms grew exceptionally lush.
According to the surveyors, in recent years, precipitation on this planet has increased again, and the mushrooms in the rainforest have almost one clump every few steps.
The mushrooms here were also very different from ordinary mushrooms.
Some could cause hallucinations, some could emit intoxicating substances that made people faint, and some could even be fatal with just a slight touch.
To be on the safe side, Ren Yunying warned them not to touch the mushrooms there randomly. At the same time, she gave them a lesson on recognizing mushrooms.
Ren Yunying opened the terminal and projected a huge light screen in front of everyone.
All kinds of mushrooms emerged endlessly on the light screen, clearly and fully displaying their shapes.
Ren Yunying took out a whip and pointed at the mushrooms on the screen with the handle of the whip, introducing them one by one.
"...These are all mushroom species and effects that the reconnaissance personnel have tested out with their lives so far. There are hundreds or even thousands of mushroom species here. I hope you can remember them, not only their names, but also their appearance and toxicity. Don't leave out a single one."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Chloe.
Recalling her amazing memory, Ren Yunying's temples twitched. She scolded,
"I know Chloe has a very good memory, but that is not an excuse for you to slack off. What if there is an accident and Chloe is not with you? What will you rely on to identify the mushroom species without stepping on landmines?"
The training room fell silent.
Ren Yunying looked at them coldly, and finally said to Chloe, "I will send this information to you separately. Remember to check everyone's recitation."
She swept them with a severe look,
"This is for your own safety. If there is one person who can't recite it, none of you will participate in this Joint Military Competition."
As her words fell, everyone was invigorated.
After Ren Yunying left, they started reciting the information desperately.
No kidding. The Joint Military Competition was such a fun and glorious event, how could they not want to participate?
If their performance was outstanding in the competition, that would not only give them priority resources within the military academy, but also getting valued and promoted by the high-level officials of their races would bring first-class benefits!
Especially for Qin Huaibei.
The competition within the human race was fierce, with outstanding offspring emerging one after another from training since childhood. Qin Huaibei had to make efforts several times more than others in order to stand out.
The Joint Military Academy Competition was his springboard.
For a while, there were loud reading voices in the training room.
Students from other military academies who passed by heard the almost uninterrupted recitation sounds coming from the room and were frightened into shivering.
The champions were working so hard, what reason did they have not to work hard!
The recitation sounds on the spaceship became louder and more sustained.
Everyone worked themselves to collapse, to the point of not being able to sleep. Even when dreaming at night, all they saw were knowledge points about mushrooms.
It took Chloe about an hour to recite all the information about mushrooms.
Daniel didn't believe it at first, but after checking with her repeatedly, he found that Chloe had indeed recited every word without error.
Daniel was shocked, "Dear Miss Chloe, can I eat your brain?"
"......Even if you eat my brain, you won't get my memory. Stupid werewolf." Chloe said speechlessly.
Daniel collapsed into loud sobs. He almost went crazy from reciting, muttering like a shaman all day, but in the end, he barely passed when reciting to Chloe.
Of the five people, apart from Chloe who finished first, the other four also recited the information.
But Chloe asked them to take out the information from time to time to read aloud and review, otherwise it would be easy to forget.
Everyone agreed it made sense. In the long run, everyone's mouths were dry.
Except Chloe, because Anderson would give her water on time at fixed locations and force her to drink it.
Soon it was time to enter the game field.
The spaceship stopped above the unnamed planet. A spatial vortex appeared in midair, and the main players of the First Military Academy were the first to be thrown in.
An intense sense of weightlessness came over them. Chloe struggled a few times in the muddy ground before getting to her feet.
Just after wiping away the rainwater and mud stuck to her eyes, she saw a venomous snake pouncing at her.
Chloe reacted quickly, spinning around while swiftly pulling out her greatsword to cut down the venomous snake.
