The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

"Don't be nervous, dizziness is normal!" On the way back to the west campus, Ji Ran chuckled and teased as he carried the goods, "You guys didn't see it, but when I told Cao Bin this before he died, his eyes were so fierce, it cracked me up!"

Chen Qingquan adjusted his glasses: "Aren't you afraid he'll come back to you in your dreams at night?"

"What's there to be afraid of!" Ji Ran retorted immediately, his face full of disdain. "I'm not afraid of him alive, so why would I be afraid of him dead? Come on, try it if you dare!"

Even so, the chubby boy couldn't help but sneakily glance around at the pitch-black night.

"That's awesome!" Lin Feng chuckled at this moment. "I just tallied it up: twenty cases of bagged instant noodles, twenty cases of cup instant noodles, sixty self-heating hot pots, ten cases of beer, two cases of liquor, five cases of sausages, and some spicy strips, peanuts, and stuff like that. We've struck it rich!"

Ding Hang added, "That's not all, there are several boxes of cigarettes too! Does anyone here smoke? If no one smokes..."

Chen Qingquan timely reminded him, "What are you thinking? We'll have to wait for Brother Fan to divide it..."

"I never said I was going to take it secretly!" Ding Hang snorted and retorted. "I just said if no one else draws it, I should get a bigger share!"

Unlike the others who were laughing and joking, Jiang Fan remained calm and silent.

The threat from the alien race loomed like a dark cloud, and he knew that now was not the time to relax!

Not to mention, there are still so many things to deal with right now.

"Alright!" Just then, Jiang Fan suddenly interrupted them, "There's something I need to apologize to everyone for."

Chen Qingquan was the first to stop him: "Brother Fan, we all understand what you're saying, you don't need to apologize."

Raymond Lam chimed in, "Exactly! You don't need to apologize for such a small thing; nobody will care."

These people who were able to get into a 985 university couldn't possibly be completely brainless. Even if they didn't realize it at first, how could they not see that when they were at a disadvantage earlier, Jiang Fan was deliberately testing them?

The group's noisy chatter seemed to be an attempt to move on from the matter, but unexpectedly, Jiang Fan himself brought it up again.

He then interrupted Jiang Fan repeatedly, not wanting him to continue.

After all, anyone would feel a thorn in their side if they were in this situation, and talking about it would only cause more trouble, so it's better to just not mention it.

"Alright! Listen to me first," Jiang Fan said again. Of course, he knew what everyone was thinking, but some things are not a big deal if they are said out loud. On the contrary, keeping them buried in your heart will only make the thorn grow deeper and deeper.

After all, even if those people chose to betray, they were still roommates, classmates, or friends of some of the people present. If they didn't get an explanation, they would eventually have some thoughts about it.

"I know you all probably guessed what I did earlier when I deliberately tested you all."

But I also want to tell you all that the reason we are doing this today is not for my personal sake, but for yourselves.

You should be well aware of the difference in strength between me and those people. As for me personally, you should be even clearer whether I need to worry about them suddenly betraying me and causing me harm.

But since I am your leader, I must be responsible for all of you.

If your hunting team were to face a life-or-death crisis, would you really want someone in the team to suddenly betray you out of fear or apprehension?

That's why I took this opportunity today to help you uncover the hidden dangers within your team.

This will allow everyone to confidently entrust their backs to their companions during future hunts or adventures, instead of being wary of each other.

Jiang Fan spoke sincerely and logically, recounting the whole story in detail.

Everyone around fell into a long silence.

Honestly, when they face a crisis in the future, are they really not worried that someone might suddenly betray them?

Humans are selfish; who isn't worried about being pushed out as a scapegoat in a crucial moment?

Moreover, everyone present was a freshman who had only been in college for a month. Even if they were classmates or roommates, how much friendship could they possibly have?

"Brother Fan, I'm sorry, it was my oversight." Chen Qingquan was the first to apologize; he hadn't thought that far ahead.

Ji Ran added, "Brother Fan, I'm sorry, I was too short-sighted. Actually, you did this entirely for our sake, and I even felt a little wronged before..."

Not only the two of them, but also Zhao Yi, Zheng Xiuyuan, and the more than thirty people who had just joined the team and had not yet officially started hunting apologized to Jiang Fan, admitting that they should not have held a grudge before.

"Fanzi...I..." Even at the very end, Lin Feng couldn't help but speak, though his tone was hesitant and somewhat affected. (Chapter 94: Resolving the Heartache, Gratitude Points Soar (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month, Thank You Everyone), latest chapter available here.)

But Jiang Fan wasn't going to let him get away with it. He kicked him directly and said, "Stop being so indecisive. I didn't tell you guys because I don't trust you. I was just worried that your acting skills wouldn't be good enough and you'd waste this opportunity."

"I see." Chen Qingquan nodded, his face showing realization.

Zheng Xiuyuan and the others immediately understood and stopped worrying about it.

Only Ding Hang touched his bald head, looking somewhat bewildered, and asked, "What are you guys talking about? I don't quite understand..."

The others all gave him strange looks, and even the usually taciturn Jiang Xu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ding, how did you get into our university?"

"Huh?" Ding Hang was taken aback. "I'm a shot put specialist... I was lucky, I got accepted with just over 200 points..."

The others were speechless, because even the worst among them needed a score of over 600 to get into this school, and in some provinces with stricter entrance exams, a score of over 650 was required.

"Damn it! Why did I barely get into college with a score of 560+?" Zhao Yi, also a sports student, was immediately indignant.

"Do you have any certificates?" Ding Hang asked.

"I'm a second-level judo athlete!" Zhao Yi said, a hint of pride in his expression.

But he soon looked distressed, because the style he practiced was suitable for close combat, and it did not give him a great advantage in fighting wild animals.

However, his words surprised some of the people around him who knew the inside story.

This included Jiang Fan and Chen Qingquan, the latter of whom couldn't help but ask, "Your Level 2 score is already high enough for most 985 universities' single-admission requirements, right? Why do you need so many more points?"

"There weren't enough spots left, huh?" Zhao Yi sighed helplessly, then looked at Ding Hang, "You still haven't explained why you got in with such low scores!"

"Me...?" Ding Hang touched his bald head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm a shot put champion."

"Hmm? Doesn't sound that impressive..." Lin Feng was the first to speak.

Ji Ran and the others also showed expressions of confusion.

"Holy crap?!" But Zhao Yi's reaction was completely different from theirs. "You're an athlete?! Awesome!"

Chen Qingquan and Jiang Fan also looked at Ding Hang with some surprise. Neither of them expected that this guy was hiding his true abilities so well.

After his initial surprise, Zhao Yi took the initiative to share some relevant information with the others: "Sports certificates are currently divided into five levels, from highest to lowest: International Master Athlete, Master Athlete, and Level 1, 2, and 3 Athletes."

In other words, I'm at level 4, and he's at level 2. To get Ding Hang's certificate, you need to at least qualify for the National Games, the National Championships, or an international competition.

"This..." Everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise at the night mist.

If they didn't quite understand what Ding Hang meant by "sports champion" before, they immediately understood after Zhao Yi's explanation.

In short, it's "awesome"!

But Zhao Yi quickly asked again, "That's strange. Since you're also from the sports academy, I've never seen you before. The sports academy doesn't admit many students, only a few dozen in total..."

Ding Hang thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Maybe it's because I didn't participate in military training and was pulled away by the instructors for special training..."

Zhao Yi was speechless. What was there to ask?

If we were to compare myself to an average student, I would at best be considered to have decent grades, while they would be top-performing students with the best grades.

How could the treatment be the same?

However, after the two of them interrupted, the topic of Jiang Fan testing them was completely put to rest.

The atmosphere among the group became increasingly harmonious, and they began to reminisce about the exhilarating results of the night or chat about the bright future.

Some even suggested that they go back and have a proper late-night snack.

Jiang Fan, unwittingly, reaped another wave of gratitude from the crowd, in addition to what he had previously gained from Bai Feifei and Wang Youfu, the remnants of the martial arts world, Xiang Tian and Feng Peter, and even Li Wenzhou and the deceased Meng Xuan.

His total gratitude points have increased from over 1 before this operation to an astonishing 76597.

There are only a little over 2 units left to get the next purple blind box.

This speed is nothing short of astonishing!

But unlike Jiang Fan's joyful and hopeful outlook on the future, Feng Peter, who was leading the Honglu Society to escort the remaining Jianghu criminals to the teaching building for temporary detention, was about to face a horrific massacre.

I'm currently reading Chapter 94, "Unraveling the Knot," and my gratitude level is skyrocketing (I'm asking for monthly votes at the end of the month, thank you everyone!). I'm completely engrossed in it.
