Chapter 51 Conspiracy?

The accidental deaths of Zhang Chunlei and others did not affect Chu Cheng's actions. The next day, he continued to leave the northern outpost and enter the wilderness to clear out the large and small alien tribes scattered deep in the wilderness.

The Golden Wasteland is very large. The Cross Fortress is located in the south of the map, and the Northern Outpost is a little further forward, but overall it is still in the south of the wasteland.

In terms of percentage, human forces only occupy about one-tenth of the area in the Great Wasteland.

All other areas belong to alien forces, but the aliens in the past were too scattered and were everywhere.

Affected by the failure of a joint operation, most teams had more or less casualties, which made them extremely cautious in their next actions. With almost no competitors, Chu Cheng could earn reputation and money without any interference.

If you wipe out any small tribe, you will definitely find one or more blue treasure chests, as well as a large number of sundries, which can be sold for at least ten or twenty silver coins, or as much as forty or fifty silver coins.

The accumulation of ten is equivalent to three or four golds, which is a considerable income.

On the first day, Chu Cheng wiped out the Human Horse Tribe, earning 4 gold in addition to the accessories. On the second day, he wiped out more than 5 small tribes deep in the mountains, with a total income of 22 gold and 5400 silver, and his reputation reached .

Adding the original 7200 reputation, the total reputation is 12600.

"I still need 7400 reputation points."

"what?"

Chu Cheng suddenly discovered that it seemed possible to reach 20000 reputation without participating in the big plot.

The reason why he thought he had to wait until the Battle of Blackwater was over before he could reach the level of reverence was because he did not consider that it would be so smooth.

One person can destroy a small tribe and keep all the reputation for himself, which makes his reputation accumulate at an astonishing speed.

It's been less than ten days and he has already accumulated 12600 reputation, which is like riding a rocket.

There are 7400 reputations left. According to a small tribe, the reputation is at least 200, and as much as 300. Only twenty people are needed to make up the number.

There isn't much else in this golden wasteland, except for a large number of small alien tribes.

A medium-sized copy has a total area of ​​at least 100,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of a province. A large copy can be over a million square kilometers. With such a huge area, hundreds of small tribes are already extremely sparsely populated.

In fact, the total number of small tribes in the Golden Wasteland dungeon is definitely more than a hundred. There are more than a hundred marked on his map alone. In addition, the school authorities will spawn more tribes in this joint examination due to the small number of tribes and insufficient reputation. The total number is probably two or three hundred.

However, there were only these alien tribes near the northern outpost, and he had already wiped them out. If he wanted to wipe out the aliens next, he would need to go deep into the wilderness.

This requires careful preparation, as it would certainly be inconvenient to return deep into the wilderness.

After returning to the northern outpost again, Chu Cheng immediately sent a message to Zhang Chunlei:
"I am back."

He received a reply from Zhang Chunlei yesterday, saying that he had been resurrected and had returned to the copy a few days ago.

Hotel, room.

Chu Cheng saw Zhang Chunlei and Zhang Qing with gloomy expressions. Even Cheng Mingyue was there. She was also resurrected. As soon as they met, Zhang Chunlei said:

“The elite class cannot be trusted.”

Zhang Qing also spoke up:
"Wang Weilong is also in the same group with them."

"???"

Chu Cheng looked confused.

“I feel like the elite class is suspected of eliminating competitors.”

Zhang Chunlei's first words were earth-shattering, making Chu Cheng feel even more incredible:

"Elaborate."

"When we attacked Blackstone Fortress that day, we did not attack the city directly. Instead, we lured the defenders out of the city. The two sides engaged in a field battle outside the city. However, we were not strong enough and could not even win a direct field battle."

"Originally, this is not a problem. Even if we fail to win, with the remaining summoned creatures and the mentors' protection, a safe retreat will not be a problem. After all, all of us Adventers have a way to escape, and these heavily armored soldiers will definitely not be able to catch up with us."

"But here's the problem. During the retreat, some of the summoned creatures suddenly disappeared, as if the summoning time had come. Coincidentally, most of the members protected by these summoned creatures were the best in each class."

"When they were divided into teams before, they used the excuse of easier coordination that the elite class was one team and the elites from other classes were one team." "When they were fleeing, the group of cover summons suddenly disappeared. Two Horror Template orc officers led a small team of elite wolf cavalry to chase them, and the formation was in chaos. If it weren't for the instructors who took action immediately, I don't know how many people would have died."

"Well"

Chu Cheng scratched his head and said:
"This alone doesn't seem to explain anything, maybe it's just a coincidence?"

To be honest, Chu Cheng also felt that it was a bit too coincidental, but like he said, they could not be convicted based on these alone, and the victim's subjective speculation could not serve as evidence.

At this time Zhang Qing said:

"But later on, the situation got out of control. An assistant teacher from Class 1 fell into the enemy's formation to protect us. The elite class took out an extraordinary spell scroll and summoned a sea of ​​fire that was hundreds of meters long and ten meters wide to separate the battlefield and cover the team's retreat."

Zhang Chunlei gnashed his teeth and said:

"Let's not talk about why they didn't use this spell scroll in the previous battle. Such a long sea of ​​fire will split the enemy battlefield in half. If they eat up some of the orc troops first, they still have a chance of winning this battle."

"Let's say they used the fire wall summoned by this scroll and placed it directly in the center of the crowd, cutting off our retreat route and causing us to be surrounded and killed by the orcs."

When he heard this, Chu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

This proves that they do have a problem, and the claim of a spellcasting error is not tenable.

At the same time, I felt somewhat fortunate that I did not feel like joining their actions.

If they really did this on purpose, they would be in danger too.

"By the way, have you informed your class teacher of your guess?"

"said."

"What did the teacher say?"

"The teacher said that everyone should be responsible for their own choices, and the school has no clear evidence to prove that they did this intentionally."

"OK then!"

The school has already said this, and unless we have solid evidence, nothing else can be said.

What the school said is also right, everyone is responsible for their own choices, the school can’t clean up everything for you.

Situations like this will be common in the future when you enter society, with all kinds of intrigues and deceptions emerging one after another, and the dangers and conspiracies you face at that time will be much more than they are now.

"By the way, why did you say that Wang Weilong was also in cahoots with them?"

"We had originally agreed to be together, but when the groups were divided, Wang Weilong took the initiative to be assigned to Class 1, and even ignored his younger brothers in Class 6. He obviously knew something."

"."

"Be more careful next time."

Again, there is no hard evidence, just speculation.

Although he is highly suspected, he cannot be convicted.

As for the reason for doing this, it is naturally for the school’s core resources.

School resources are limited and can only be allocated to the best students.

Generally speaking, even if you can be resurrected after dying once, your internal score of the school will be lowered. If the difference between everyone is not big, and your score drops after you die, it is equivalent to my score going up, so this opportunity will belong to me.

To be honest, Chu Cheng didn't quite understand why someone would do such a thing just for the joint entrance exam reward.

"I have to be extra careful next time."

Coming out of the hotel, Chu Cheng let out a sigh of relief and began to prepare for the next plan.
