Chapter 207 Alliance University 14
After digging for half an hour, I unearthed high-quality black crystals.

After collecting 100 jin of high-grade black crystals, Wan Yang stopped mining.

According to the law, once a mineral is discovered, minerals of lower quality can be freely mined, but minerals of higher quality can only be mined up to 100 jin (50 kg). If the amount exceeds 100 jin, it is necessary to apply for permission and pay a fee before mining can proceed.

The school also stipulated that no applications for mining were allowed during this competition.

As it was getting dark, Si Lingle and the others rested in the cave.

Si Lingle went to the cave entrance and set up a trap to prevent a sneak attack.

After setting up the formation, Si Lingle went to cook; today's meal was barbecue.

During the day today, Si Lingle also found some fruits and wild vegetables, which she washed and chopped.

Wrap it around the grilled meat and eat it.

Si Lingle also prepared two kinds of sauces to dip the meat in.

Ke Junhao, Zhong Youyou, and Shi Sisi prefer sweet and sour flavors, so I made a sweet and sour sauce for them.

Everyone else's sauce was spicy.

Shi Sisi said, "I think I might gain weight in the next month."

She doesn't usually eat this much, but Si Lingle's cooking was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat more.

Dou Feixue nodded, "Junior Si's cooking skills are good enough to open a restaurant."

Ji Tianyu said, "Student Si, are you interested in investing together to open a restaurant? I'll find the chef, and you can provide the cooking skills. I guarantee we'll make a fortune."

Ke Junhao: "Si Xuemei wants to open a restaurant, and I will definitely invest. I believe in Si Xuemei's skills and I'm sure she can make money."

"I have no intention of opening a restaurant." She thought he was preparing to join the army.

As for investing in opening a store, she simply doesn't have the energy to do that right now.

She wasn't short of money either; she had earned quite a bit while playing the endless dungeons, and she had cashed it out in advance.

Moreover, her planet Xiaoxiao is engaged in agriculture, and the produce she cultivates is sold to other planets, so she has a source of income.

After eating her fill, Si Lingle asked Wan Yang for some black crystals and then began to condense them.

Zhong Youyou watched from the side and thought to herself: This junior sister Si is so fast at condensing, and the black crystal she condensed is even better than the one she condensed.

Sure enough, strong mental strength is impressive.

Those who specialize in mecha combat all understand condensation.

Seeing that Si Lingle was condensing black crystal, Chang Lan and the other two also began to condense it.

The black crystals that Chang Lan condensed were neither as good nor as fast as the black gold that Si Lingle condensed.

The black gold refined by Si Lingle contains almost no impurities.

After an hour of focused practice, Chang Lan and the other two had almost exhausted their mental energy.

Si Lingle had already stopped refining before their mental energy was exhausted.

She is already meditating and cultivating.

As she cultivated until late at night, Si Lingyue heard the sound of rain.

Si Lingle opened the smart device to check the weather; it had been raining for a whole week in the Cuiyun Mountains.

Rain will slow down their movement and the accumulation of points.

The night passed peacefully. Because of the heavy rain, they did not set off for the time being, and planned to wait until the rain subsided before setting off. After waiting for several tens of minutes, the rain gradually subsided.

They put on raincoats and headed towards the location of the points.

Because of the rain, they were moving slowly, and they encountered fewer star beasts.

Fortunately, they were quite lucky and found a lot of medicinal herbs.

They also earned a lot of points for the medicinal herbs they found.

The rain stopped around noon, but looking at the dark clouds in the distance, it would rain again soon, and the rain would probably be quite heavy.

Qiu Ran urged everyone to hurry toward the points while it wasn't raining.

Qiu Ran planned to arrive at the points early and then have Si Lingle set up a trap near the points to ambush teams that wanted to settle their points early.

They can then collect kills and earn points.

Qiu Ran knew that the area around the points would definitely become a battleground.

So, in order to improve the team's ranking, he plans to arrange for someone to hide, but he hasn't decided on the person yet.

Let's talk about it when we get to the points settlement point.

Less than an hour later, it started raining again. Because the rain was too heavy, Qiu Ran told them to stop and find a place to camp.

Si Lingle was bored, so she informed Qiu Ran and went for a stroll in the neighborhood.

A dozen minutes later, Si Ling, who was strolling around, was delighted. Her mental energy detected a group heading in this direction.

Si Lingle's mental strength exceeded 3S, and the range of her mental perception was farther than others, so the team did not discover Si Lingle.

Among this team was someone Si Lingle knew, her classmate Zhu Xue, who possessed B-level mental strength.

Among the seniors in the team, there was one that Si Lingle knew, a senior named Cai Yuman, who had 2S mental strength and was also in the mecha combat department.

Si Lingle knew about these senior students because they were incredibly brave and made the news.

Cai Yuman accepted a mission during her vacation. When she went to Duran Star to do the mission, she encountered a star beast tide.

She single-handedly intercepted the Star Beast Tide, causing it to change direction and preventing it from reaching Miao Town.

She made the news because of this.

It takes considerable skill for one person to change the direction of the Star Beast Tide on their own.

Si Lingle immediately sent a message in the group, informing everyone that she had discovered other teams.

Qiu Ran knew that Cai Yuman was in the group, so she told Si Lingle to come back first and not to confront Cai Yuman.

Qiu Ran knew Cai Yuman. Although Cai Yuman was a 2S mental power user, she had a fortuitous encounter when she was a child, which gave her mental power supernatural abilities.

Her mental energy possesses fire elemental properties. As long as Cai Yuman's mental energy captures it, her mental energy can release fire, burning the source of the mental energy along with the opponent's released mental energy.

It causes the opponent's mental energy to be rapidly depleted, leading to their collapse.

They use mental energy when they fight, so if Cai Yuman captures them with her mental energy, they might be wiped out.

So it's best to avoid it.

There are quite a few people like Cai Yuman who possess supernatural mental abilities.

Such people will become pillars of the nation in the future.

Si Lingle obeyed orders and returned to the camp.

Back at the camp, Si Lingle didn't rest. Utilizing the terrain, she used magic to set up a natural array and also set up traps.

After becoming a grandmaster-level sorcerer, Si Lingle was able to draw talismans out of thin air using her true energy.

Si Lingle drew a concealment array on the trap so that it would not be discovered.

After making the arrangements, Si Lingle went to meditate and regulate her breathing. Less than ten minutes later, Cai Yuman and her team appeared.

Cai Yuman didn't sense any spiritual exploration. She smiled slightly, realizing that some people in this group recognized her.

They knew about her supernatural mental abilities.

Judging from their appearance, they didn't intend to fight. However, how could they let their prey go so easily? Of course, they had to fight.

Cai Yuman made a gesture, leading her team to rush towards Si Lingle and the others.

Four mech fighters rushed to the front, with the rest following behind.

Cai Yuman definitely didn't notice the trap or know about the formation. A dozen seconds later, they fell into the trap and formation.

As for Zhu Xue, Si Lingle's classmate, although she was in the same class as Si Lingle, she knew very little about Si Lingle.

Si Lingle usually spends time with Li Qiu and the others, and they rarely practice or team up together.

Therefore, Zhu Xue had no idea that Si Lingle had also set up an array.

If it were Li Qiu and the other three, they might know Si Lingle's abilities and wouldn't approach her so easily.

Unfortunately, Zhu Xue was unaware that her mecha had fallen into a mud pit.

Zhu Xue's mecha tried to climb out of the trap, but instead, it sank deeper and deeper.

Although Cai Yuman's mecha did not fall into the trap, she was trapped in the formation.

She then discovered that her teammates were all gone.

Si Lingle and the others had already practiced the formation once, so this time, they quickly assigned their positions.

Eliminate the non-combat type first.

After elimination, Zhu Xue, who was stuck in the mud, was eliminated.

Now, Cai Yuman's team only has three mecha combat pilots left.

Si Lingle and her three companions first joined forces to eliminate the other two mecha combat pilots before finally dealing with Cai Yuman.

Si Lingle and the others knew how powerful Cai Yuman's mental strength was, so they didn't release their mental strength to avoid being detected by Cai Yuman.

Cai Yuman's combat power is on par with Chang Lan's. Cai Yuman defeated those with higher mental strength by relying on her fire elemental mental power. However, if her opponent is on guard, it won't be so easy for Cai Yuman to win.

With Si Lingle and two others joining the attack, Cai Yuman was eliminated after more than ten minutes.

Cai Yuman and the others lay on the ground, staring wide-eyed as Si Lingle and the others opened their nanocapsules and looted the contents.

They were still communicating using the AI.

This AI can be controlled using mental power.

[Cai Yuman]: They used something that made you disappear all of a sudden.

[Yang Liang]: Who knows? Sigh, we're probably one of the last few places. We've been eliminated from the team so early.

I originally thought that with Cai Yuman there, we could get a good ranking, but I didn't expect to encounter a dark horse team.

[Wang Yuan]: The other party must have discovered us in advance, otherwise why would they have set a trap? And yet, they couldn't detect the trap with their mental power. Could it be that the other party used something illegal?

There are some things that can't be brought into the competition. Could it be that this team secretly brought them in?
[Qiao Liwen]: If it's against the rules, the other party will be detected by the surveillance system. They shouldn't be that stupid.

[Mao Zhongyuan]: All the things we found with such difficulty are gone.

Several people lay dead, complaining and grumbling.

After Si Lingle and the others looted the items, they separated and stored them away.

Si Lingle said, "Captain, let's carry them out."

To prevent them from falling into her formation.

Then, the group carried the corpses of Cai Yuman and the others out of the formation.

After they were carried out, Si Lingle went and rearranged the trap.

Cai Yuman used her mental power to see Si Lingle's actions and knew that the trap was set by Si Lingle.

The musician waved his hand a few times in the air, and the trap formation disappeared from sight.

Cai Yuman thought to herself: Could this person also possess mental supernatural powers? And her mental supernatural powers are the ability to conceal things?
[Cai Yuman]: Zhu Xue, you said before that this girl was your classmate and that she had supernatural mental powers. Why didn't you tell me that?

[Zhu Xue]: Senior Cai, Si Lingle is only a 3S-level mentalist and has not cultivated any mental supernatural abilities.

[Yang Liang]: Maybe the other party has cultivated it, but just hasn't shown it yet.

[Zhu Xue]: Well, I don't know.

Cai Yuman took a deep breath. It was too late to say anything now; they had all been eliminated.

Discussions are futile.

After a while, Cai Yuman and the others were taken away.

With the materials in hand, Dou Feixue, Ke Junhao, and the others got busy, starting to prepare the medicine and build energy weapons.

Because of the heavy rain that day, they did not move their positions.

Ten days passed in this way, and Si Lingle and her group arrived at the points settlement point.

Meanwhile, teams were already lying in wait at the points settlement point.

Moreover, this team is the most likely to win first place among all the teams. This team has three 3S mental power users: Duan Ziqing from the sixth-grade mecha combat department, Jiang Zhizhi from the fifth-grade command department, and Duan Ziyu from the second-grade healing department.

There are also four 2S-level mental power users, four S-level mental power users, and one B-level mental power user.

Qiu Ran and the others did not discover the ambush; it was Si Lingle who found it.

Knowing it was this team, Qiu Ran and the others secretly thought they were in trouble; they were in for a bit of bad luck.

They were actually in the same direction as this team. Now that the other team had laid an ambush at the points settlement point, they would run into them if they went to settle their points.

Therefore, one cannot act rashly; one must consider all aspects carefully.

Otherwise, their team might not be able to accumulate any points.

Qiu Ran asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Theresa: "Let's team up with other teams and take down this strongest team."

Nan Jiasheng: "I think we still have more than ten days left, so we don't need to rush. We can first try to get more points, and then go to the points center to settle the points in the last two or three days."

Chang Lan: "I agree with Theresa's suggestion to take down the strongest team first. Taking them down will definitely earn us a lot of points."

Wan Yang: "I agree with Nan Jiasheng's suggestion. It would be too disadvantageous for us to face the strongest team right now. It would be better to wait for other teams to meet the strongest team first, and then we can make our move when the strongest team is down to 50 men. Maybe then we will still have a chance to win."

Eliminating the last member of the team will earn you an extra ten points, which is quite a lot.

The group spoke at once, with no consensus.

Si Lingle remained silent, so Qiu Ran looked at her and asked, "Junior Si, do you have any opinions?"

Si Lingle did some calculations and said, "We don't need to confront the strongest team. We can just set up our formation opposite the strongest team and wait for other teams to come to us."

"Anyway, in these past ten days or so, we've collected quite a few medicinal herbs and materials, and hunted quite a few star beasts. While waiting for other teams to come, we can refine potions and forge weapons, which will also increase our points."

In the end, everyone chose Si Lingle's suggestion.

They set up camp at the location chosen by Si Lingle.

Si Lingle began to set up a trap.

Once that's done, we'll start building energy weapons.

For Si Lingle, creating mechs and building energy weapons is not a difficult task.

Si Lingle also set up a concealment array. The array plate of this concealment array was made by Si Lingle using materials he found over a dozen days, which is not considered a violation of regulations.

Because of the concealment formation, even the strongest team's sensory members did not detect Si Lingle's team.
