Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 468 Final Exam: PUBG 3
A day has passed.

The thirteen candidates with red serial numbers finally gathered together before nightfall.

They have not encountered a powerful opponent yet.

The biggest dangers are probably the twelfth examinee, Hei Mo, who was standing on the edge of a cliff from the very beginning, the first examinee, Mu Yunke, whose body was almost corroded by the miasma, and the fifth examinee, Meng Youwei, who was scared to tears.
The thirteen little ones, who had finally managed to gather together, put together and counted the supplies they had collected along the way.

The kids who finished counting the supplies: (*∩_∩*) So many treasures! Time to get rich!
Holding the spatula, with her little belly sticking out, Zhu Xia said loudly, "Principal Xixi said that animals are iron, and meat is steel. You'll get hungry if you don't eat a meal!"

While everyone was sharing their experiences along the way, Zhu Xia insisted that they absolutely had to eat on time every meal.

[I'm so worried! What are the kids going to do with all this stuff?]

[And she was so forgetful along the way, truly a case of "picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon." The energy stone that Duoduo found earlier was actually quite useful. But look what happened...]

[As a result, Duoduo just played with it the whole way and then casually threw it on the side of the road.]

[Hey, that's nothing. Just now, candidate number two found a leg bone from a fifth-tier alien beast, but he only played with it for a while before throwing it into the haystack.]

[Forget it, this is probably just a simulated amusement park. Didn't you see the kids walking around all day without complaining of being tired or encountering any danger?]

【Then I wish the little ones a good night's sleep.】

Jiang Yuxi looked at the cub's performance and nodded in satisfaction again.

Excellent, excellent, every step was well planned.

However, for one school that took the joint entrance exam with them, the situation was excessively quiet.

Among the top 100, not a single candidate was from the red camp.

Director Zhou: "Director Chen, you didn't just randomly pick some third-rate school to have this exchange with us, did you?"

Director Wu: "That's where you're wrong, Lao Chen. Even if you want to win, there's no need to choose a school like this, is there? It just makes our victory seem unfair."

Dean Lin also looked at Director Chen with a disappointed expression.

Only Director Chen remained calm, gently blowing on the hot tea in his large bowl. "Don't worry. Twenty-four hours after the exam starts, we'll be able to see each other's live feeds." He added, "It'll definitely dazzle their eyes."

Director Zhou: "Forget it, almost a third of the exam time has passed, and not a single candidate on the other side has climbed into the top 100. How powerful can a school with students of this caliber be?" The last person on the leaderboard now has 78 points.

Zhou Zhou, who came in first place, had a score of over 300.

With 209 points, the gap between them and the second-place finisher was enormous.

Director Wu: "By the way, Lao Chen, how many exam slots did you give to the other side? How come in our live broadcast with thousands of viewers, not a single candidate has encountered the other school?"

When asked about the number of slots, Director Chen paused for a moment, before finally giving a tactful reply: "Each of the second-year students will have one exam slot."

Director Chen wasn't lying; there really was one spot for each second-grade student.

The middle class is equivalent to the second grade, which is fine.

Director Chen's explanation further confirmed to them that the students on the other side were extremely poor in aptitude.

It seems they were either eliminated as soon as they entered the exam room, or they found a safe place to hide.

Dean Lin concluded by asking, "Director Chen, what kind of exam rewards did the other side offer for this joint exam?" Their school had prepared the exam venue and exam items, and had also offered substantial scholarships.

Logically, since the other party doesn't need to contribute anything, the "scholarship" they offer should be more than what their school offers to avoid being impolite.

Speaking of the "scholarship" resources offered by the other party, Director Wu exuded an aura of pride. "Don't worry, the resources they can provide far exceed those of our school. The top ten will receive a meal at Sunshine Hot Pot Restaurant for up to ten people, while the top three will receive an exclusive customized spot at Treasure Pavilion in addition to the meal. If you are the first place winner, you will even receive a purification spot in the Sunshine Purification Room, with no level restrictions, for your personal use."

The announcement of the reward surprised even Dean Lin and Director Zhou.

Dean Lin: "The top scorer in this exam gets a spot in the Sunshine Purification Room + a customized merchandise order from Treasure Pavilion + a meal at Sunshine Hot Pot Restaurant?" This combination is priceless on the black market.

Director Chen said smugly, "The principal of the school across the street has a lot of influence!" How could the real owners of these shops not have a powerful background?
Director Zhou and Director Wu exchanged glances, both certain that the principal of the school opposite them must be a member of a top noble family on the Imperial Star.

Only they would be so generous as to treat such a precious spot as a "bonus" for the exchange.

To be honest, even they were tempted.

They wished they could take the exams themselves and take the exams for the students.

Director Wu: "By the way, if this cooperation goes smoothly, I believe there will be many more student exchange activities in the future." This was something he had begged and pleaded with the teacher on the other side to get from Lady Jiang Yuxi.

It turned out to be the case.

The three of them suddenly understood.

The school across the street is making such a big move; it turns out they want exchange student spots.

Their school is on the Imperial Star. Although it can't be called a top-tier higher education institution, it is still quite prestigious and is the first choice for many students from remote planets.

They envisioned a scene in their minds: a nobleman's son going through countless hardships to beg Director Chen for an exchange student spot.

Director Wu: He's really something, that's how he does it.
Dean Lin: Never mind, at most when the other school sends students over, they'll give them some extra consideration.

Director Zhou: Director Chen's asking price is really outrageous. The other side must be stupid; with these conditions, they could be begging for exchange student spots at more prestigious universities. I wonder how much brainwashing Director Chen did for them.

Unable to hold back his words, Director Wu cried out in anguish, "Old Chen, you're heartless! Old Chen, you've committed a terrible crime! What a pity for your lifelong integrity... Your reputation is ruined in your later years!"

The teachers who happened to pass by the entrance were startled.

"What? Director Chen is heartless?"

"What? Director Chen lost money?"

"What? Director Chen's reputation is ruined in his later years?"

"Really? Director Chen has been poisoned?"

"Are you kidding me? Director Chen got swindled out of his money by a quack doctor and lost everything? He still has hundreds of millions in loans to pay off?"

"How is that possible? Director Chen actually did that kind of...shameless deal to pay off his debts?"

……

The power of rumors is immense.

Within just half an hour, five different versions of the story had appeared throughout the school, but the core idea remained the same: "Director Chen was poisoned to the point of being unable to breathe, and the doctors had all given up. But Director Chen insisted on finding a quack doctor, who then swindled him out of all his savings and even took out a loan of several small amounts of Star Coins. In the end, when all else failed, he had to resort to prostitution to pay off his debts."

The people in the meeting room were practically arguing. Finally, Dean Lin made a decisive move: "It's late, let's go back to sleep..."

However, to their surprise, when they woke up the next morning, they found thirteen red numbers on the blue points leaderboard.

It's such a coincidence that they are all numbered from one to thirteen?

They all made it into the top thirty.

Director Zhou and Director Wu immediately inquired about the situation.

"What happened last night? How could nearly half of the students be eliminated overnight?" Director Wu frantically scrolled through the live feeds of each surviving student.

Director Zhou: "The school across the street only started hunting last night? That's ridiculous. How terrifying is the virtual exam room at night?"

Dean Lin used his privileges to arbitrarily open one of the live stream rooms of a candidate from the red camp.

It happened to be Meng Youwei (number 5) and Tang Lexuan (number 8).

They were collecting materials at that moment.

When they realized that the two were female beastmen, their brows furrowed involuntarily, forming deep frowns.

Director Wu: A virtual image of an adult female? Could it be one of those two cubs from the middle class? Their facial features look very similar. No way, no way? If they get scared by the virtual environment and ferocious beasts in the exam room, will Lady Jiang Yuxi hold him accountable? Oh dear! How could I forget there are two female cubs in the middle class? I forgot to specify the gender of the assessment beforehand…

Director Wu felt increasingly guilty.

Aside from Director Wu, the other orcs were asking: What's up with the examinee opposite? He actually has such a peculiar fetish that's unacceptable to beasts? And what's wrong with examinee number five? A male orc, crying and sobbing like that—what kind of behavior is that? He's completely disgraced males!

In the video, Meng Youwei has tears in her eyes as she cries and rummages through the black mushrooms on the ground.

The mushroom caps have large and small raised black bumps, each with a small opening that is oozing mucus.

Meng Youwei: "Waaaaah, this is so scary! I hate exams the most!" She's terrified of exams.

Tang Lexuan, who was already used to this, didn't take it seriously at all. Like a happy little bird, she touched and looked around, searching for usable supplies.

Director Wu looked at the tear stains on Meng Youwei's face, which seemed to burn like fire, and his heart sank: It's all over. He was truly terrified!
The page scrolled again, and it showed He Wenzhao, number 11. He looked like a playful little wolfhound, full of curiosity about everything.

They bury something here one minute, and dig a hole there the next…

The page scrolled to Lin Xi's live stream room, where he was quietly whittling bamboo. Both ends of the bamboo were whittled to an extremely sharp point...

As the page scrolled, Doris, number 13, appeared. His face, which was even whiter than that of a female, had more delicate and handsome features, and his figure appeared particularly slender compared to that of an adult male.

She exudes a gentle, unassuming aura.

What's the difference between this and writing "I'm super weak, come and bully me"?
Director Zhou paused for a moment, then suddenly understood why Director Chen had privately approached him to ask for help from the candidates in the red camp.

The page continued to scroll, showing twelve live streams in a row. Surprisingly, not a single candidate in the red camp was taking the exam seriously. Instead, they were engrossed in what the red camp considered "unproductive" activities.

In particular, one of the live streams featured candidates from the red camp who were digging in their designated camp, burying lines they had rubbed by hand into the pits.

The morning was spent in the busy activity of the candidates in the red camp who were "not doing their job properly".

At noon, they returned to camp to rest, and then...

To start a fire and cook?

Director Zhou: "Is this a picnic or a...?"

I learned the term "picnic" from Sunshine Hot Pot Restaurant.

A few days ago, a hot pot restaurant had to launch a delivery service for hot pot and barbecue because business was so good.

Delivery services emerged for "picnics".

As a result, a strange phenomenon has recently appeared on the Imperial Star, and even in the Empire and the entire interstellar space: the roadsides of cities and open spaces for leisure are crowded with "picnic" props, with a floral cloth spread out and various hot pot and barbecue ingredients laid out on it, where a group of orcs are eating and drinking together in a circle.

Some orcs, unable to find a spot, cleverly developed new picnic locations.

For example, on the roof of a car.

In any case, the term "picnic" has been incredibly popular since it first appeared.

This has also directly led to the emergence of many new regulations.

For example, picnicking on the roof of a hovercraft while it is in motion is strictly prohibited.

Director Wu: "These candidates, although they are the same age as our students, are obviously raised in an ivory tower."

Even though they were disguised as adult orcs, Hei Mo and his companions' eyes, actions, and tone all revealed their innocence and naivety.

Director Zhou suddenly noticed something strange.

"Look, their points are going up!"

Despite the fact that those thirteen examinees neither hunted any exotic beasts, nor collected any precious spiritual plants, nor completed any tasks, their scores were constantly rising, and at an extremely rapid pace.

Right under their noses, number nine Gacio's points increased from 817 to 920.

Eleven places have moved up on the leaderboard.

The same thought simultaneously crossed their minds: The candidates in the red camp on the other side, were they cheating?!
Although the virtual exam room was provided by their school, and the exam questions were also set by their school.

However, it cannot be ruled out that the school on the other side has extraordinary resources and connections.

Similar incidents have occurred before.

Dean Lin's face was very ugly. He glared at Director Chen and then activated the anti-cheating monitoring program, and applied for a review of the scores of the candidates in the red camp.

He has been teaching and raising children for over a hundred years, and what angers him most is students cheating.

While waiting for their turn to be reassigned, they watched as the thirteen candidates went to sleep in an orderly fashion after the picnic, but their ranking on the leaderboard was still climbing at a rapid pace.

The person is asleep, but points are being added?
What is this if not cheating?

Afternoon nap time is over.

Before the afternoon's work began, Black Ink, number 12, gave a pep talk: "Remember the plan we agreed on before, we can't beat them, so we can only outsmart them..."
