My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

However, the four of them seemed to be starving, stuffing food into their mouths without any manners, eating to their heart's content, which made Leng Yihan's perception of the four of them refresh.

That's normal, though, since it's already 1:30. Lin Yin may have eaten breakfast, but the others may not.

While everyone else was enjoying their meal, Leng Binglan and Leng Yihan sat on the sofa and discussed tactics.

They had all witnessed the match between Class 2 of Grade 11. Yao Yao Ling's extremely high burst damage was undoubtedly a dagger hanging over Lin Yin and Mo Ruyu's throats, ready to fall at any moment.

The lineup of Class 2, Grade 1 consists of a Priest, a Bard, a Sword and Shield Knight, a Lance Knight, a Swordsman, and a Hunter. In most cases, the Swordsman is used as a substitute, and the other four protect the Hunter.

The requirements for the protected side in a four-protect-one team, which is the center position, are very high, because once she is lost, the combat power of the remaining four people is very worrying. In the first few matches of Class 2 of Grade 1, it was obvious that the team played around the hunter. If there was any fatal danger, as long as the hunter had teammates nearby, they would definitely sacrifice themselves to block it for the hunter.

The best strategy for a four-protect-one composition is undoubtedly twofold. One is to directly eliminate the carry amidst a large group of enemies, but this is not feasible as they lack assassins and crossbow hunters. The second is to send people to hold off the protector while others kill the protected one – the most basic strategy.

Considering the strength of Chen Wei, Mo Ruyu, and Ye Zixing, Leng Yihan prefers to use a more conservative approach, and the question of who will kill the 110 police officer is a good one.

After watching the match of Class 2, Grade 11, Leng Yihan seriously suspected that this guy was either an alternate account of the Elf Fairy or her apprentice, as many of his habits were extremely similar to the Elf Fairy.

Although Leng Yihan couldn't quite recognize her, Yu Xiao could. As Lin Yin's best friend, how could they not be QQ friends? She immediately recorded a video and sent it to Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao: This... I don't know if Yao Ji has a secondary account, but I do think I saw her shadow. It's definitely related to her.

That's roughly how it is. If that's the case, then only Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan can cut her; Ye Zixing definitely can't.

This raises another problem: if Leng Yihan goes on the field, the opposing team will most likely lose, and the battle will end quickly. This means the author can't make the battle more difficult and pad the word count, which is very disadvantageous.

After discussing it for a short time, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan decided that Leng Yihan would be the first to appear, but Leng Binglan would be the one to kill the monsters, while the other four would be quickly eliminated by Leng Yihan and then the other five would provide support.

After asking the four people who were still eating, none of them had any objections, so the lineup for Class 1 of Grade 1 was decided: Leng Yihan, Chen Wei, Lin Yin, Leng Binglan, Mo Ruyu, and substitute Ye Zixing.

It was already 2 o'clock when the four of them finished eating. The event was starting in half an hour. Students from Class 1 of Grade 1 to Class 5 of Grade 12 gradually returned to the screening room. After all, watching the competition was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and they could participate in the school festival activities tomorrow.

After explaining the tactics discussed in detail to the four, and since the four still had no questions, the group from Class 1 of Grade 1 started playing around. After all, with their strength, it was hard to imagine that they would be overturned.

Half an hour passed quickly amidst everyone's casual chatter, and the School Festival Oracle Finals officially began!

"Alright! The two-and-a-half-hour break is over, and the Academy Festival Oracle Finals are about to begin!" Li Shimo said, standing in front of the stage, with Taiyang standing next to him, who hadn't finished eating yet.

“…Alright, let’s invite the twelve contestants to the stage.” When it was his turn to speak, Taiyo quickly swallowed the food he hadn’t finished eating and continued.

This school festival competition surprised him greatly. He originally thought it was just a small-scale competition at school, but this time he not only saw the real-life versions of Jihan and Yinse, but also Lanyue, who had shown off his skills to the point of killing Xukong. Moreover, they were all first-year high school students, which made him, a twenty-year-old adult, feel too embarrassed to show his face.

He's not even as good as a first-year high school student. They might be better than him, who makes a living playing the game Oracle, even if they just take time out of their free time to play. That's what you call talent, I guess.

Sun, feeling frustrated, took another bite of the half-eaten scallion pancake in his hand. He still had time to eat now, but he would have to start commentating on the game soon and then he wouldn't have time. He quickly took a few more bites, and if the scallion pancake hadn't cooled down, he would have definitely burned himself.

After Leng Yihan led her team up, they happened to see the real 111 on the other side. Her long black hair was loose and draped over her shoulders. She was probably too lazy to take her hair off in the game pod, so she just left it loose.

He gave off a strange feeling... a composure beyond his years that made him seem particularly reliable, and the depth in his eyes made Leng Yihan unable to look away.

"Hiss..." Feeling the soft flesh on his waist being pinched when he was completely unprepared, Leng Yihan gasped and turned around to see Leng Binglan pouting in dissatisfaction.

"Does brother really enjoy flirting with women?" Leng Binglan said, making a grinding sound as she spoke.

"Oh dear~" Leng Yihan apologized with a wry smile. All he did was look into someone else's eyes for a little too long, how did that turn into philandering? He was clearly a very devoted man…

Although it might seem strange to call him a man now, Leng Yihan is actually a boy! A typical teenage boy!

"Please give me your guidance in this competition..." Hearing what Yao Yaoling said, Leng Yihan couldn't help but glance at her eyes again. They were still so deep and lifeless, without a trace of emotion. Even her words were cold, as if they were just empty shells with no real soul inside.

"Please guide me." He shook hands formally with everyone in Class 2 of Grade 1 before walking to his game pod, showing respect to the class.

After all, the victory in the competition will surely belong to us. Sorry, classmates of Class 2, Grade 11!

As Leng Yihan pondered this, she crawled into the gaming pod. After closing the pod door, she adjusted her posture before putting on the gaming helmet inside. Although she didn't quite understand why the official design was so complicated, she figured she might as well use it since that's how it was designed.

"Log in," Leng Yihan read aloud. She guessed that this kind of format would only appear in competitions, which was quite interesting, but unfortunately, she couldn't experience it in regular gameplay.

[Login successful. Current room capacity: 10 people.]

Are there still two people who haven't logged in?

Just as Leng Yihan was thinking this, the two of them finally connected to the game. Once the number of players was met, the game started automatically. The system randomly selected a map, and then it was all about luck!

[Map confirmed: Frozen Mountains.]

[Information confirmed. The countdown for the competition has begun. The competition will start after the countdown ends.]

"3."

The familiar system voice rang in everyone's ears, and the countdown began. The surrounding scenery was gradually being constructed, revealing the original appearance of the Frozen Mountains.

Although the map is also called Frozen Mountains, the surrounding maps don't resemble Frozen Mountains at all; it might just be a map with the same name.

"2."

"1."

"The match begins."

The first round of the School Festival Oracle Grand Finals has officially begun!

41 About the School Festival (5)

"We can also use the power of NPCs... a new mode?" Leng Yihan muttered to himself in confusion, and the four people around him did give him strange looks.

"Wait, what's with those expressions?!" Seeing her companions' strange looks, Leng Yihan felt uncomfortable. This kind of strange map was definitely not found in the usual games.

"Yihan... haven't you watched the professional league?" Chen Wei asked, unable to believe that a die-hard fan of the game "God Ranking Number One" wouldn't know about this mode.

When Leng Yihan heard Chen Wei mention the professional league, she immediately realized that this model must be related to the professional league.

“No, I rarely watch professional leagues…” Leng Yihan shook his head and replied, he really had no interest in professional league matches.

"This is a unique mode in the professional league: the large map. First of all, literally speaking, the large map is definitely larger than the regular map, much larger. Secondly, the large map is a place independent of the Oracle, and it has its own story. Finally, I believe you've heard that completing the main quest will grant you additional buffs and stronger NPCs to help you, but the main quest is usually very difficult."

"So... even if you don't do the main quest, there will still be NPCs to help you?" Leng Yihan asked. Chen Wei shook his head and said, "If you don't do the main quest, then do the simpler side quests."

Leng Yihan looked at Chen Wei speechlessly. Weren't we still supposed to do a mission?

"In short, we were quite surprised by the appearance of a large map. Perhaps it's because the official Oracle is starting to gradually open it up," Chen Wei said at the end. Leng Yihan sighed. A large map, it seems, is going to be a long battle.

Main Quest: Enter the nearby village.

There should be more than that... There should be more later, and you can get the buff as long as you complete them all.

Leng Yihan pondered and observed the vicinity of where everyone had appeared, but all she saw were patches of pure white snow.

"Um... who watches the professional leagues the most? How do you figure out this map?" Leng Yihan turned to her teammates with a wry smile and asked.

"Large maps are randomly refreshed..." After hearing Chen Wei's words, Leng Yihan turned her head back, which meant that she would have to explore the map on her own.

"Let's go... let's wander around." Leng Yihan said, walking forward along the woods on the left. To the right was a vast snowfield that stretched as far as the eye could see, so she was pretty sure they weren't going that way.

On the way, Leng Yihan tried to open the mini-map, but it was blocked, so she had to give up and search for it step by step on her own.

“…Yihan! There’s a knife mark here, doesn’t it look like a road sign?” Lin Yin was the first to notice. While looking at the nearby woods, she noticed something unusual on a tree and discovered it was a knife mark made with a small knife.

After looking around, Leng Yihan said, "Let's search the area. It should be some kind of marker."

"Alright!" The five of them dispersed and entered the woods, searching for the same marks. Everything went smoothly from there. The trees in the woods weren't very dense, and the group slowly moved forward along the knife marks they found.

They didn't have to wait long. After walking for about ten minutes, they finally passed through the woods and saw two somewhat dilapidated stone paths. The snow wasn't covering them, so it looked like they had been cleared away.

Leng Yihan walked to the stone path, which was now another fork in the road. The stone path might lead to the village, but she didn't know which way to go.

"...Okay, Chen Wei, Mo Ruyu, and I will go to the left, while Binglan and Lin Yin will go to the right. If we find anything, notify each other in the team channel." Besides the forest they had just passed through, the stone path was surrounded by endless mountains and forests. Since they didn't know which way was right, they decided to split up.

"Huh? Why should I go with Ye... Lin Yin!" Leng Binglan objected. She had thought that Lin Yin would also say that she didn't want to go with her, but instead she saw Lin Yin pull her to the right.

"Hey?! Lin Yin, what's wrong with you?!"

"Yihan's assignment is indeed the most correct, just do as she says." Lin Yin pulled Leng Binglan further and further away. Leng Yihan realized what was happening and quickly called out, "Be careful not to get robbed by the 110 spies from Class 2 of the first year!"

"Okay!" Lin Yin turned around and shouted back from a distance, releasing Leng Binglan's hand as the two walked further and further away along the stone path on the right.

"Let's go, let's go to the left." After watching the two girls walk away, Leng Yihan led Chen Wei and Mo Ruyu along the stone path on the left, and Class 1 of Grade 11 temporarily split into two teams to explore.

While exploring, Leng Yihan and her two companions kept a careful look around to avoid being ambushed by Class 2 of Grade 11, but they were soon captivated by the beautiful scenery.

Wow! It looks so good!

"Ah...yes, although it's a snowy landscape like the Frozen Mountains, it has a different kind of freshness." Leng Yihan replied. The atmosphere among the three of them suddenly didn't feel like they were playing a game, but rather like they were traveling and enjoying the scenery.

The three chatted and laughed as they explored, creating a lively tourist atmosphere, while on the other side, Lin Yin and Leng Binglan were...

"I said..."

"What?" Lin Yin looked speechlessly at Leng Binglan, who was extremely vigilant, as if she could notice even the slightest movement around her.

"You don't need to be so wary. This is going too far. Don't forget that our equipment is not bad. Even if the Elf Fairy herself wanted to take away 2/3 of our health with a combo, she would have to come into our line of sight."

Lin Yin said that constantly being vigilant about one's surroundings like Leng Binglan would undoubtedly be a huge drain on one's mental energy. Upon hearing this, Leng Binglan agreed and relaxed.

The two chatted back and forth for over ten minutes until a huge cave appeared before them.

After seeing this, Leng Binglan and Lin Yin did not continue forward, but instead found a higher place to observe the cave from a distance.

The cave is about four meters high and two meters wide, and is arched in shape. It looks like it was man-made, and perhaps someone lives there.

The two didn't go in immediately, but instead shared some information with their teammates and checked if they had found the village.

Voiceover: Ice Blue and I found a strange cave, want to go in and take a look? By the way, have you found the village yet?

Not long after Lin Yin sent that message, someone replied to her.

Jade Beauty: We've found the village... but... things aren't looking good...

Voice quality: Huh? What's going on?

Mo Ruyu raised her head with a wry smile and looked at the villagers who were wary of them. Leng Yihan was negotiating with them, but the arrows surrounding them were really not a good sign.
