Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 186 The most heaven-defying entity in history, this is really messing with people's mentality!

"It's full! It's full!"

Among the group of people who looked like college students, someone shouted something.

Suddenly, the metal gangplank extending from the steel sightseeing boat retracted at an extremely fast speed.

The pirates still on the gangplank lost their footing and fell into the sea with cries of alarm.

However, these pirates were not as lucky as the others who were about to board the ship but were accidentally pushed off the gangplank.

The pirates who had been pushed overboard would have all ended up on the deck of this tourist ship from which there was no escape. But this time, as the gangplank retracted, the pirates who had fallen into the sea—

boom! boom! boom!
Hundreds of pirates who fell into the sea exploded, their blood staining the sea red, their flesh rising and falling with the waves.

At this moment, there are still about nine hundred pirates remaining on the Red Porcupine.

Fortunately, the captain of the Red Pufferfish, Dagney, the first mate, the second mate, the head chef, and other crew members had not yet boarded the sightseeing boat with no way to escape via the gangplank.

In total, apart from the more than 170 pirates who unfortunately perished, only a little over 200 pirates managed to board the sightseeing ship from which they could not escape.

Then, Prince Justinian, Avalon, and Shafa boarded the ship.

The pirates gazed at each other from afar, separated by the two ships.

The pirates, trapped on this tourist ship from which there was no escape, were filled with despair.

As for the pirates on the Red Porcupine, although they were relieved, they couldn't help but show a look of sorrow.

Because, very likely, this is the last time we'll see each other.

"The second rule is that the sightseeing boats that cannot be escaped seem to only be able to accommodate about two hundred guests, while the rest can escape."

Even under these circumstances, Avalon remained remarkably calm as he summarized his points, his voice clearly audible across the ship, reaching many on the Red Porcupine.

Some of the more alert pirates immediately took out paper and pen and wrote it down.

This is extremely valuable intelligence; it could potentially save many lives.

Moreover, it was summarized by Avalon, the greatest mechanical genius and angel-level overlord of the Augu Kingdom in a century, so the possibility of error is extremely small.

Although this intelligence may seem trivial and anyone could summarize it, it would be better if Avalon confirmed it.

Avalon remained calm, seemingly realizing that the group of university students on board wouldn't care about those already aboard, at least for now.

That's why He dared to transmit information so boldly.

As for what will happen next, that's unclear.

As the gangplank retracted completely, the sightseeing boat, from which there was no escape, suddenly fell silent.

The college students, regardless of gender, all turned around and looked at the more than two hundred people on the deck.

Their faces still held the same enthusiasm and innocence, but their eyes all held a hint of cunning.

This cunning was undisguised, shining brightly in their eyes.

Immediately, all the pirates on the deck, along with Xia Fa and the other two, disappeared along with the college students.

……

"what happened?"

On the Red Porcupine, the first mate looked completely bewildered.

Not only him, but even Captain Red Pufferfish and Dagney and the others stared blankly at the sightseeing boat from which they could not escape, their faces full of confusion.

Just now, in their sight, the pirates on the deck all turned their heads at once, including Avalon, Prince Justinian, and Shafa, who lined up like obedient students to enter the cabin.

Following closely behind, the group of people who looked like college students also entered the steel-hull-like cabin.

This scene was truly bizarre. Everyone knew that pirates had different personalities, some were irritable, some were indifferent, and some were alert. But all the pirates on this sightseeing ship just obediently went into the cabin.
Moreover, this happened without those college-aged individuals saying a single word.
This is highly unusual. You see, some pirates are truly fearless. The reason they boarded this tourist ship from which there is no escape is entirely to risk their lives to gather intelligence.

But those fearless pirates did the same thing, without resisting at all, and without receiving any orders, they obediently went into the cabin... It was really too strange.

Even Prince Justinian and Avalon, two angelic overlords, walked into the cabin without any resistance.

But then, something even stranger happened!

The sightseeing boat, unable to escape, began to sink, plummeting straight towards the sea.

Seawater quickly flooded the deck, then the cabins, and in an instant, this terrifying and mysterious steel sightseeing ship sank completely.

The sea returned to calm. A petrel swiftly skimmed across the water, its sharp claws snatching up a small silver fish. The fish struggled, but to no avail, and was carried away by the petrel to the distant horizon.

All that remained was the seawater stained red, and floating flesh and blood, rising and falling with the waves.

……

"what happened?"

Xia Fa stood in the cabin, looking around blankly.

He could clearly sense that the sightseeing boat, from which there was no escape, remained motionless on the sea.

After he and the others disappeared, he appeared alone in the cabin.

I wonder if the others were the same, appearing alone in their respective cabins.

The ship's cabin was made of steel, with a floor welded with rivets, and a square hole in the ceiling that allowed sunlight to stream in through the glass, making the room bright and airy.

Directly in front of the cabin was a blackboard, which was blank. On the table in the lower left corner, however, was a box of chalk.

In front of the blackboard, in the middle of the cabin, there were rows of desks pieced together, all made of pear wood, varnished, and exuding a pleasant aroma of paint.

The pearwood desk was covered with all sorts of snacks, including potato chips, preserved plums, candied fruit, and so on, and even chicken feet, duck wings, and chocolate cake.

Xia Fa was completely confused about the situation, but the thought of the tragic deaths of nearly two hundred pirates sent chills down his spine.

This was the most unbridled, cruel, and indifferent entity he had encountered since his first real-world encounter!
Although the storyteller once casually wiped out a life-bearing planet, that planet was full of secret heretical organizations, all of whom were pests and scoundrels. Wiping it out was actually doing a good deed for the people.

The pirates on the Red Pufferfish, while not exactly benevolent, were at least law-abiding and never robbed or harmed civilians.

But they died just like that.

Part of the reason was that they didn't board the sightseeing boat from which there was no escape in time.

Another reason is that the ship was full of guests, and they fell directly into the sea, their bodies exploded, and they didn't even have a chance to return to the Red Porcupine.

These entities... these entities that look like college students, are so ruthless and cruel in their actions, they leave absolutely no room for compromise.

Seeing the rows of chairs next to the pear wood desks that had been pieced together, Xia Fa almost immediately rushed over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Currently, apart from that unknown entity resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, nothing else—not even the Storyteller, one of the top three entities in terms of strength, or the Gourmet, etc.—can stop him from escaping using his ability to "randomly freeload." Therefore, at this critical moment, Xia Fa can't care about anything else, nor whether his secret of randomly freeloading is exposed. He immediately prepares to sit down in a chair, fantasize about delicious food, and leave this place.

When he was on the Red Porcupine, there were no tables and chairs on the deck, and the sightseeing boat that he couldn't escape approached him in the blink of an eye, so he didn't have time to leave the deck to find tables and chairs.

But now, the opportunity has come!

Just as Xia Fa reached out to pull out a chair, suddenly, the chairs were pulled out automatically in a strange way.

Then, one by one, the figures of college students emerged from the chairs.

They sat there in the chairs, men and women, all smiling and looking at Xia Fa.

"Guest, come on over and have some!"

The group of figures, resembling college students, waved at Xia Fa and pointed to the snacks on the table.

Another female college student was quite enthusiastic and directly picked up the chocolate cake on the table and handed it to Xia Fa.

Xia Fa glanced around and saw that all the chairs were occupied by this group of college students. His heart sank and his expression became increasingly serious.

Thinking back to the previous incident where these college student-like entities allowed pirates to board the ship, and those who didn't board immediately had their bodies explode, and when they said the ship was full, the pirates on the gangplank also fell into the sea and immediately exploded to death.

Xia Fa realized that if he didn't accept the chocolate cake, or even if he didn't go to the desk to eat snacks with them, his body might very well... explode in an instant!
For these individuals who appear to be college students, their words represent a kind of "rule" that cannot be defied!
Thinking of this, Xia Fa immediately stepped forward and accepted the chocolate cake handed to him by the female college student.

"Eat up, it's delicious! I bought it from the Dark Chocolate Cake Shop!"

The female college student enthusiastically introduced the snacks to Xia Fa, as if she were genuinely sharing her favorite treats with him.

Xia Fa understood that he couldn't disobey these college students, so he had no choice but to pick up the chocolate cake.

Fortunately, he had previously eaten stir-fried lamb intestines with eggs made by a gourmet, and had not encountered any problems after eating it. Therefore, although he had not figured out the rules of this group of college students, the food they provided should be fine.

Thinking this, Xia Fa took a bite of the chocolate cake.

The taste is very normal and very pure. The top half is cream with a chocolate shell, and the bottom half is a dense cake. Xia Fa didn't find anything strange about it so far.

"Come on, have some, these preserved plums are delicious."

"And these braised chicken feet are a specialty of our university cafeteria!"

"Don't just eat, have some beer! This beer is brewed from golden wheat, it's guaranteed to be delicious!"

Seeing that Xia Fa had eaten the chocolate cake, the group of college student-looking beings started feeding him all sorts of snacks.

"No, I won't eat it! You fucking bastards, you bunch of bastards, if you have the guts, just kill me!"

boom! ! !
An angry and desperate roar came from behind the steel-plate wall, followed by the familiar sound of a body exploding.

Xia Fa was startled. Could it be that in the cabin next to his, a pirate had already been blown to pieces for refusing the snacks offered by these college students who appeared to be real people?

It's likely that, in the pirate's eyes, these foods were just as bizarre as the physical forms of these college students, and he refused to eat them because he figured he was going to die anyway.

Then, his body really did explode and he died.

After tasting the chocolate cake, Xia Fa was basically certain that these were all normal snacks.

So he accepted them one by one and started eating, occasionally taking a sip of the golden wheat beer that a male college student handed him.

There weren't many snacks offered, and Xia Fa quickly finished them, even feeling a little full, probably because the beer was making him bloated.

The cabin suddenly fell silent, deathly still. The group of figures resembling college students stared fixedly at Xia Fa, saying nothing and making no further moves.

It was as if they had all turned into wax figures in an instant.

Xia Fa suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, mainly because he had no idea what would happen next.

They ate all the snacks they were given, but then what?
These are, after all, entities; there should be rules, right?

It's impossible that their "rule" is to feed the guests snacks and then let them disappear completely, right?
That's really true, that's so strange.

Moreover, it was a situation that was tantamount to certain death for anyone who encountered this tourist ship from which there was no escape!
A rustling sound rang out, and Xia Fa turned his head to look, only to see the blackboard.

On the table in the lower left corner of the blackboard, in the chalk box, a piece of chalk suddenly flew out and started writing and drawing on the blackboard.

Xia Fa was taken aback at first, but then he saw that the chalk had written out numbers, inequalities, and... mathematical symbols!

The chalk finished writing quickly, then snapped with a snap and fell onto the steel floor.

The group of figures resembling college students suddenly regained their senses and their faces brightened.

They smiled at Xia Fa, their eyes revealing undisguised cunning.

"Guest, since you've eaten our snacks, how about doing us a favor?"

"Yes, yes, please, guests, help us!"

"This is a difficult problem left by the professor. We've brainstormed together but still can't solve it. We've been working on it for several days now. If we still can't solve it, we'll fail the course!"

"Guest, you're clearly the kind of person who's knowledgeable and quick-witted. We're counting on you!"

"If you can help us solve this problem, we'll do anything you ask!"

Xia Fa was somewhat taken aback, and at the same time, an extremely absurd idea surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that those guests who boarded the ship and were unable to escape and thus disappeared completely were because they couldn't solve the math problem posed by these college student-looking entities?
Xia Fa turned to look at the blackboard, feeling a sense of absurdity mixed with despair.

Because, with just one glance, he understood that he wouldn't...

"I don't know how! I only went to elementary school, I can't even understand these symbols and numbers. Why are you torturing me? Kill me or do whatever you want—"

boom! ! ! ! !
Another desperate wail and the sound of bodies exploding came from behind the steel wall on the other side.

Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed that yet another pirate had died from an explosion because he couldn't solve this math problem.

Having no other choice, he had to bite the bullet and walk to the blackboard, then casually took a piece of chalk from the chalk box on the table.

He looked at the blackboard, at the math problem.

【已知1+1=2，那么，1+2=？】

Xia Fa only glanced at the math problem and knew it must be an extremely difficult problem.

The reason is simple: in his previous life, he at least had a bachelor's degree and had studied advanced mathematics such as calculus and linear algebra.

However, faced with this difficult problem, they couldn't understand it at all.

"How should we solve this..."
