“You. . .  Senior Ming Xi, look at Feng Wu!” Yifu was so angry that she stomped her feet and shouted out in anger as she complained to Ming Xi.

“Cough, cough.” Ming Xi uncomfortably faked a cough as he turned his head away pretending to be blind and deaf.
He couldn’t take sides and fight with the girls.
He was a guy!

Feng Wu turned to Ming Xi and grabbed his face between her hands, forcing him to look at her.
“She said to look at me.”

OK, now what? What are you trying to do with what you’re trying to say with that serious face of yours? Ming Xi wondered in his head.

“Do you see me?” Feng Wu asked.

“Yes!” Ming Xi replied promptly.

“OK, he’s done it.” Feng Wu turned to Yifu and reported.
As soon as she said it, the crowd of movie watchers coughed a storm.

This girl. . .  was she being intentional? Her face was so serious, she had to be serious, otherwise that was some great acting!

“You. . . you. . . ” Yifu was shaking with anger.
Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought she’d gone crazy.

“Are you making me mad on purpose?! You’re a vicious woman! Senior Ming Xi, don’t be deceived by her!” Yifu couldn’t best Feng Wu so she turned to Ming Xi.

“She’s a good person.” Ming Xi imitated Feng Wu and kept his face serious.

Yifu was so shocked at his words that she ran away crying.

Feng Wu looked at Ming Xi with bright eyes.
Senior Ming Xi had praised her! So happy~!

Ann stared blankly at Ming Xi as though he was a heartless scoundrel.
“Brother Ming Xi, you’ve changed.
Don’t you like me anymore?” Ann asked sadly.

“I’ve always thought of you as a sister.
I thought you knew.” Ming Xi secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
He had no romantic affections for Ann and he wished the audience would stop looking at him like he was the worse scumbag in the world.

To make such a beautiful girl cry: you’re a scumbag!

Sure enough good-looking men are scumbags!

Scumbag! You should let that sister go.
I’ll swap places!

The single dogs watching were super jealous as they mentally talked smack about Ming Xi.

Ming Xi: I don’t know anything.

“What? You clearly said you would marry me once I grew up!” Ann was so distraught that she burst into tears.

“When did I say such a thing?!” Ming Xi couldn’t recall having dug such a pit for himself.

“You did; when I was three you visited me and we played house.” Ann said with conviction.

Three?! Ming Xi did remember playing house with her, but it was only because her sister, Grace, hadn’t been there and the other children didn’t want to play with her because she cried too much.
Ming Xi was older, so it was normal for him to look out for the younger ones the other kids didn’t like.
He never expected the Ann to remember their game.

“It was just a game.” Ming Xi was afraid Ann wouldn’t understand so he made his face as serious as possible.

“Wa! Brother Ming Xi is heartless and disloyal!” Ann ran away crying.

Scumbag!

Scumbag!

Scumbag!

How could you treat a girl who’s had a crush on you since she was three so heartlessly? Why are no girls like that with me?!

Truly casting pearls before swine.

The barrage of insults grew in the audience’s mind.

The corner of Ming Xi’s mouth twitched.
He took Feng Wu’s side and moved away from the crowd.
He was not going to go shopping for a while.

Feng Wu: The ice cream melted. . .

“Hello everyone, your beautiful senior sister here.
Today is the day you’ve all been waiting for: the individual segment of the extreme survival challenge! But before we start the competition, I would like to introduce today’s guest commentator.
The person next to me is non other than our very own vice principal! A hand of applause for the vice principal everyone!”

Applause came from all over.
Some, afraid they weren’t clapping hard enough, clapped extra hard.

Don’t you know these guys were the ones who were talking about the vice principal before? Another reckoning was possible if the old man thought they were clapping too slow.
They were still suffering from the last bout.

The vice principal was suitably pleased with the warm welcome.
He really was the most respected person in the entire school, well just below the principal anyway.
Yes, very appropriate.

“Will the vice principal reveal some of the competition’s details to us? The competition has been under such tight wraps no one’s been able to get any hints.
None of us even know what form the individual challenge will take.
Can you tell us the inside story?” Tamansha turned her head and asked the vice principal.

“Of course. . . not.
If I say it now, it won’t be a surprise.” The vice principal was clear.

Sighs of disappointment came from below.
And here they thought they would get the scoop at last.

Feng Wu and a few others were waiting in the preparation room, so they weren’t aware what was going on in the outside world.
It was a big room, large enough to accommodate many people.
The battle in the individual challenge would be brutal.

The requirements for the individual challenge were different from those of the team challenge.
Everyone was given a chance to participate in the individual challenge despite most people doing poorly in the team segment.

In the team segment, the lord of the virtual world monitored their progress and gave each person a personal score based on their performance.
Anyone who scored 60 or higher had their score recorded as a part of their overall ranking and was as also given the opportunity to participate in the individual challenge.

It was good news for everyone.
Feng Wu scored 85, which was relatively high.
Those who dragged their team down were given accordingly lower scores.
This was very satisfying for those watching the challenge on screen.

Feng Wu didn’t know the contestants were being observed and scored in the team challenge.
She had thought she would participate as long as she signed up.
It was only after she returned that she found out it wasn’t the case.[notes]

“Hello contestants, I will now explain the rules.
In the individual challenge, you will not be given any additional supplies.
The only things you can bring in with you are those items you had from the team portion of the challenge.

Everyone will receive a map once the challenge starts.
It is the same map for everyone.
Whoever gets the item at the end of the map first will be the winner of the individual challenge.

And as usual, the lord of the virtual world will give out scores based on performance.
I hope you all perform well and strive for good results.”
