In fact, I can add unlimited points

After some searching, the leader of Class A found some fishing gear, so they could fish without renting it from the school.

But the most noteworthy feature is the cabin itself, which has a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and living room, and the space is quite large, enough to accommodate several people.

He'd decided to stay here for the next seven days, rather than be crammed into a cave with a bunch of other people.

After making his choice with a smile, Shun Aragaki left the hut and continued his card-swiping journey.

I don't know how many outposts there are on the island in total, but let's take over the ones that are visible first...

.........

"We've run into each other again," Shun Aragaki said, raising an eyebrow as he took over a hidden stronghold under the trees and watched Rokusuke Koenji rushing towards him. "How many strongholds have you taken now?"

"Are you late again?" Koenji looked at the spot where Aragaki Shun was standing, memorized the location, and replied nonchalantly, "I've already found 12, but Aragaki boy beat me to it 3 times. It seems my beauty isn't perfect yet, there's still room for improvement."

“I have now captured 15 strongholds, plus the 9 you have, and I saw that Longyuan has also captured 4, so there are now 28 strongholds that have been found on the island.”

After arriving at this number, Shun Aragaki narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was pondering something.

The school is located in a visible, easily discoverable location, such as a cave, river, well, or cornfield—areas suitable for setting up a camp.

There are a total of 16 such outposts, and they are all surrounded by conspicuous resources, making them easy to spot.

In this regard, the three classes, A, B, and C, conducted a resource exchange, exchanging their surplus resources for what they needed, so that all three classes could retain as many temporary points as possible.

However, after these camp-style outposts were all explored, the remaining outpost facilities were deliberately hidden by the school in very concealed places, such as under bushes buried in the forest, on riverbanks piled with rocks, or on specially carved-out slopes...

In short, the further back the outpost is, the harder it is to find, and even if you do find it, there may not be any usable resources nearby.

Fortunately, all three classes worked together; otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for Class A to find all the outposts within a day or two.

Even if you find them all, those remote places are hard to clear. It would be impossible for an average high school student to clear all the strongholds within eight hours, even if they worked themselves to death.

Well, putting everything else aside, just considering the cabin that Shun Aragaki chose to stay in, going up and down the cliff three times a day, he must have to be careful, otherwise it wouldn't be fun to accidentally slip on the ladder and fall straight into the sea.

How many outposts do you think there are on this island in total?

"There are 16 visible camp-type outposts, and there should be no fewer more hidden outposts."

After thinking for a moment, Koenji gave his answer, "There are at least four or even more bases that haven't been discovered yet. What do you think, Aragaki-boy?"

"My approach is to search for as many as possible within eight hours, and after eight hours, regardless of whether the hidden stronghold still exists, we should just pretend it doesn't exist."

After finishing his calm speech, Shun Aragaki turned around and continued his journey of finding a base to swipe his card.

Since the exam officially began, the leader of Class A has been running around the island for 3 hours. However, with his superhuman physical strength and immunity to all diseases and poisons, he doesn't have to worry about getting tired or sick.

Compared to all that, he was actually more curious about what Longyuan was doing.

After all this time, he's only managed to capture four strongholds. He can't be that useless, can he?

Is he slacking off or...?

183. Let's have fun at Longyuan! Wang Meiyu, who was led astray by Xiao Qianxun.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was night of the first day of the exam on the deserted island.

"So, all the people from Class D have already returned to the cruise ship?"

Taking a bowl of meat porridge from Wang Meiyu, Aragaki Shun listened attentively to the intelligence gathered by Shibata Sa.

As the cake served to the three classes at the very beginning of this special exam, Class D, having already exhausted all its temporary points, naturally had no reason to stay on the deserted island.

The temporary scoring round and the leader guessing round were both fixed by him using the school's agreement, leaving only the capture point round as the only round where points could still be scored.

However, since Horikita Suzune has already been identified as the leader of Class D, and all three classes will guess her identity at the end, it would be pointless for the girl to try to capture the stronghold.

In short, there's nothing more that Class D can gain by staying any longer, so it's perfectly normal for them to have their fill of fun and then return to the cruise ship to rest.

"Do the numbers match? Surely none of them secretly stayed behind?"

Without any supplies, the rest of Class D certainly didn't have the ability to survive on this deserted island for seven days, but Shun Aragaki hadn't forgotten the masterpiece from the White Room.

To prevent the other side from pulling any tricks, the leader of Class A naturally had to confirm the whereabouts of the group from Class D again and again.

"That's right, I saw with my own eyes that everyone in Class D returned to the cruise ship together."

"The same goes for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, the one you asked me to keep a close eye on; he hasn't made any other moves."

Although I don't understand why the leader of Class A would pay attention to a student from the bottom of Class D, I just need to know that the class monitor must have a deeper meaning in doing so.

"Well, so, the only students from Class D left on the island are Xiaomei and Lingyin."

Shun Aragaki looked at the cold beauty with long, straight black hair and the girl with blue hair and twin tails. Both of them were destined to join Class A, and staying together on the deserted island would make it easier for them to integrate into the Class A group.

With those two excluded, Class D is now completely out of the running in this exam.

It's not surprising, really. You can't make bricks without straw. No matter what Ayanokouji's true identity is, since he didn't step up to take charge of Class D from the beginning, the current situation is no longer up to him.

Unless he abandons his previous persona and participates in the special exam in his own name in a high-profile manner, he can only follow the crowd and return to the cruise ship.

"With one variable eliminated—Class B, under Koenji and Katsuragi's command, shouldn't be resorting to underhanded tactics—that leaves only Ryuen..."

After assessing the current situation, Aragaki Shun quickly finished his dinner and took the opportunity to praise Wang Meiyu, who was looking at him expectantly.

"This meat porridge tastes great. I heard that you and everyone else made it together, Xiaomei. I never knew you had such good skills."

"Hehe~ I learned the cooking methods from my hometown from my mom. I'm glad you like them, Aragaki-kun."

A satisfied smile appeared on Wang Meiyu's face. She felt that secretly studying cooking skills during this time was the right thing to do, and she finally had the opportunity to show off her skills.

Seeing this, Chihiro Shiraha took small sips of the meat porridge in her bowl, her face showing a subtle expression, as if she was somewhat unwilling and frustrated.

But then, as if a lightbulb went off in the girl's head, she suddenly felt light and cheerful again.

After giving Wang Meiyu a thoughtful once-over, Xiao Qianxun blinked and thought that since Xiao Meng and Xiao Mazi were moving so slowly, she shouldn't blame her for giving the opportunity to others.

This cook looks like a rather insecure and timid girl. As Aragaki-kun's official girlfriend, she feels that she must get along very well with him.

Shiina Hiyori just watched quietly, but in her heart she was thinking that Shun-kun's daily life was just like that of the male protagonist in a novel. She wondered what role she would play in it.

Unaware of what the girls were thinking, Shun Aragaki checked the time and, after confirming that eight hours were almost over, immediately patted his butt and stood up. "I'm going to do the second round of check-ins now. Ichinose, arrange the people to take turns on night watch. After we've taken over the base, I'll go straight to the cabin to rest."

"By the way, could you please go over and help me tidy up? This round of check-ins will probably take me a few more hours. If you feel sleepy, go to bed early. You don't need to wait for me."

"I understand!" Honami Ichinose nodded first, as organizing the division of labor among the class was her job.

The pink-haired girl hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Aragaki Shun was about to leave, she couldn't help but ask the question that was on her mind.

"Are you sure it's okay? I remember there are a few hidden strongholds that I only found half an hour ago. If I want to wait until they're occupied before I can farm them for the second time, it'll take at least seven and a half hours, right?"

Each time you check in, the occupied stronghold will have to wait eight hours before you can check in a second time.

However, with an eight-hour cycle, the check-in time for each outpost varies. Some take an hour, some take between one and two hours, and some are not found and occupied until the seventh hour.

In this situation, Shun Aragaki, as the leader, would have to occupy all of these strongholds, and each round of check-ins would take more than seven hours.

Having to complete three rounds of check-ins a day, with a total rest time of perhaps less than two hours, would be too much for even the strongest person to handle.

“I understand what you mean.” Aragaki Shun explained nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, I will only use the first three hours of each round of check-in. As for the remaining strongholds that haven’t finished occupying, I’ll leave them to Koenji and Ryuen Sho to fight for.”

"As long as I try to keep the base points in the first year, there will always be a chance to get them from Class B and Class C in the future. I'm not going to risk my life for these few points."

Based on his previous conversations with Koenji and the others, he had determined that there were a total of 40 outposts on the uninhabited island.

If a first-year student can max out all the stronghold points, the final score will be an absolutely astonishing number.

However, Class A has already gained enough from this exam, and Shun Aragaki doesn't want to exhaust himself just to gain one or two points.

In any case, most of the 40 strongholds were found within three hours. The leader of Class A felt that he didn't need to be too greedy. As long as he could occupy more than 20 of them each round, that would be enough.

After explaining his plans and calming the emotions of the Class A members, Shun Aragaki quickly left the cave camp with the key card.

Watching the boy's figure disappear, Wang Meiyu withdrew her lingering gaze and was about to get up and walk around when, unexpectedly, a similarly petite figure suddenly approached her.

"Whoa!"

The blue-haired girl with pigtails was startled and took two steps back.

If it were someone else, the girl might not react this way, but she had just been swooning over the man she liked when his girlfriend showed up. Who wouldn't be scared by that?

"Chihiro, is there something you want to tell me?" Feeling a little guilty, Wang Meiyu didn't dare to look Chihiro Shiraha in the eye. She subconsciously looked around, as if trying to find a way to escape.

The girl with short, white hair immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wang Meiyu's hand. "Wait a minute, Xiaomei, come with me to the cabin. It's getting late, and it's not safe for me to go alone."

"Huh? Me?" Her pupils suddenly contracted. Just as she was about to make an excuse to run away, she heard this invitation that was too much for her to handle. Wang Meiyu opened her mouth, but her mind went completely blank.

My rival invited me to her and her boyfriend's private room.

Is this...is this really true?

Could she be trying to make me watch her and Aragaki get intimate so she can give up on him?

.........

"Stop sleeping! Get up and party!"

Three hours passed quickly. After taking over 21 strongholds, Aragaki Shun ran to Class C's camp as if it were empty, told the students on night watch, and went straight to pull Ryuen Sho out of the tent.

"What exactly do you want to do, you bastard?"

Long Yuan, whose sleep had been disturbed, looked very annoyed. He had only just lain down when this bastard suddenly showed up. Couldn't a person get any sleep?

"It's nothing serious. I just came to let you know that in this second round of check-ins, I have already occupied 21 strongholds, and Koenji has also captured 7. There are 12 strongholds left, and the occupation time will gradually end in the next 5 hours."

"Look how good I am to you, I've specially reserved so many points for you. As the leader of Class C, how can you fall asleep so easily at a time like this?"

Looking at the Dragon Garden, which was preparing for something, with a half-smile, Aragaki Shun's gaze was quite amused.

This tyrant of Class C has always been known for his bravery and ruthlessness, and he always deliberately causes trouble for others.

As a result, the other party was surprisingly unenthusiastic about capturing the stronghold during this special test... There's no doubt that this person was secretly plotting some sinister scheme.

"I remember you only captured 6 strongholds in the first round, right?"

"That won't do. If the students in Class C find out, they'll think that I'm ganging up with Koenji to bully you."

Upon hearing this, Long Yuanxiang's face darkened, realizing that his idea of ​​conserving his energy was completely futile.

Although he didn't manage to capture many strongholds in the first round, he personally visited all 40 strongholds and drew up a special route map.

The main problem is that this kind of intelligence is also very difficult to hide. The island is only so big, and the three classes of more than 120 people are scattered in various places. If the three leaders openly swipe their cards, they will definitely expose the location of their strongholds.

With this in mind, Shun Aragaki decided to share information with the two of them so that they could find all the hidden strongholds as soon as possible.

If possible, Longyuan would like to operate openly and normally while secretly advancing its plans.

However, his physical strength was no match for those two monsters, Shun Aragaki and Koenji. After spending eight hours running around and exploring all the locations of the strongholds, he had to stop and rest for a while before he had enough energy to continue his mission.

Now that this bastard has come knocking on his door, Long Yuan's first thought is to ignore everything and go back to his tent to continue sleeping.

But after thinking about it, if he didn't take action, Aragaki Shun and the rest of Class C might ask him to withdraw from the exam and then change the leader... After all, withdrawing from the exam only deducts 30 temporary points, while if he could fill all 12 bases, he could get at least 200 class evaluation points.

After much deliberation, Longyuan finally decided to refrain from doing so.

This test on the deserted island is a perfect opportunity, and I can't let a moment of impulsiveness alert others and cause the plan to fall apart.

"Get out! Get out! Get out! You bastard, you're actually willing to give up the remaining 12 strongholds. It seems your capacity is only so-so."

Long Yuan adopted an arrogant expression, "Don't underestimate your enemy like that, you'll regret it later!"

"Sorry! At least I don't see that possibility in you."

Shun Aragaki smiled, turned around, and left Class C's camp.

He came here only to keep an eye on the state of Dragon Garden and gather some intelligence. As for whether the other party actually went to attack those 12 strongholds... that's not really that important.

Even if no one occupies it, it's just a matter of losing 12 stronghold points.

When the next round of eight hours comes, the occupation time of these 12 strongholds will be reset to zero. At that time, all 40 strongholds will only need to be checked in for the first three hours, which will be more convenient for him.

With a gloomy expression, Ryuen Sho watched as Aragaki Shun's figure disappeared. He glanced at the rest of the class and, without saying a word, ran off to claim the stronghold.

In his eyes, the entire Class C was like a sieve, with countless people acting as that guy's spies.

For this reason, Ryuen did not tell anyone about this plan. Before it was officially launched, even Ishizaki Daichi and Yamada Albert did not know what he was secretly plotting.

It's a bit of a shame that Aragaki didn't try to maximize his score.

Otherwise, as long as the opponent is allowed to clear 40 strongholds each round without giving him enough time to rest, by the night of the sixth day, I can...

.........

Three hours meant three hours. After harassing Ryuen with Class C, Shun Aragaki decisively returned to the rest hut directly below the cliff.

It's already past 9 p.m. On the island, students can't bring their phones to the exam and there are no other forms of entertainment. Normally, students have no choice but to go to bed early.

Therefore, when Shun Aragaki entered the small house and found it completely dark with no lights, he wasn't really surprised.
