I have a life simulator.

When Karuizawa arrived at the specific location, there were indeed quite a few groups already there, scattered in small groups discussing with each other.

I glanced at it briefly and saw that about four groups had arrived, but there was no Class B among them, nor did I see any other familiar faces.

Realizing that there might only be one spot left to register, Karuizawa Kei quickly went to the third-year student in charge of registration and promptly filled the last spot in the competition.

Since the number of registered participants was full, the teacher in charge announced without any delay that the project was about to begin and asked the participants from each group to go to the starting point.

A running track about 400 meters long had been cleared out on the beach, with a box placed 200 meters down the middle, presumably where people would draw the borrowing slips.

As Karuizawa Kei had predicted, all the participants in this challenge, except for her, were boys, each rubbing their hands together and warming up at the starting line.

However, Karuizawa Kei didn't care. Ever since she realized at the age of seven that she had a second chance at life, she had been intentionally working on her physical fitness. In addition, with the years of training in the theater troupe, her physical fitness had already been rated as B by the school when she entered school. She was definitely one of the best among the girls, only slightly inferior to the more energetic Horikita Suzune.

As the teacher in charge fired the starting gun, the five participants immediately rushed out of the starting line. Perhaps because they hadn't warmed up their bodies yet, or perhaps because it was their first time running on a beach track, one boy stumbled and fell to the ground after running only a few meters.

Unfortunately, as he fell, his wildly waving hands, desperately trying to maintain his balance, accidentally dragged another boy next to him, causing him to stumble and nearly fall as well.

Because of this unexpected little incident, Karuizawa Kei seized the opportunity and, with the remaining two boys, rushed to the box where the borrowing slips were placed at a fraction of a second's speed.

Karuizawa Kei quickly pulled out a slip of paper:

【Cola】.

Does this mean I have to go to the place where I can exchange the supplies in person?

Without hesitation, Karuizawa threw away the slip of paper and started drawing new ones.

The first slip of paper that the other two boys who came with her also seemed to give them a headache. After a brief hesitation, they also chose to give up and start drawing the second one.

【dress】.

How could anyone bring something like this to a deserted island? Although the school allows students to bring their own clothes, considering the intensity of this special exam, almost everyone brought lightweight short-sleeved sweatshirts and long pants to cover their legs and protect against mosquitoes, with the most likely addition being the swimsuit they had been longing for.

But then Karuizawa suddenly realized something.

It seems she really did bring a dress with her, even though it's been tucked away in the corner of her backpack until now. She did buy a dress at Beechwood Shopping Center and did bring it here.

I can't even remember what I was feeling when I packed my bags.

But Karuizawa Kei immediately ran back to where she had left her backpack, pulled out the neatly folded dress, and sprinted toward the finish line ahead of the other contestants who were still borrowing their items.

"Borrowing objects is acceptable."

At the finish line, another teacher in charge quickly checked the note and dress in Karuizawa Megumi's hand, raised her right hand, and announced the winner of this project.

Another minute passed before the others finally found the right items and rushed to the finish line.

However, when distributing the rewards, the teacher in charge secretly called Karuizawa Kei aside and explained the mechanism of the special cards to her, namely the hidden mechanism that when a normal card upgrade opportunity is obtained, it can be transferred to any student.

After thinking for a moment, Karuizawa Kei walked to a corner, used the communication function on her wristwatch, and called Kitagawa Ryo, completely ignoring the 100-point fee.

"benefit?"

After only two beeps, the call was connected, and Kitagawa Ryo's familiar voice came from the wristwatch. It was a bit noisy around, but you could hear Ichinose Honami and the others.

"Wait a moment, I need to take this call."

Karuizawa Kei heard Kitagawa Ryo say something to the other side, and then his voice came closer again:

"What's matter?"

"I just got an upgrade opportunity for a regular card. What level is your current discount card?"

"That's pretty impressive. My card level is currently level five."

"...How about I transfer this opportunity to you?"

"Is this Hui giving me a gift? Then I should return the favor. Hmm... how about this, where are you now?"

Karuizawa Kei was a little stunned for a moment, but quickly checked her location using her watch:

"I8".

"Oh, it's on the coast. That's perfect. Wait a moment, I'll hang up now."

After saying something cryptic, Kitagawa Ryo hung up the phone. Karuizawa Kei had no idea what the other person was up to. Was he nearby and planning to come find her?

Clutching her dress, Karuizawa stood there for a moment, somewhat bewildered, before suddenly realizing that she hadn't taken a shower since yesterday. On the deserted island, students either showered in the makeshift shower rooms provided by the school or in the temporary shower rooms set up at each project site.

Because the latter environment is slightly better than the former, most students usually go to the location of a research project every morning to take a shower.

Knowing that Kitagawa Ryo might be coming soon, Karuizawa Megumi quickly ran to the temporary shower room attached to the "Borrowing Objects Race" project. Fortunately, because the teacher in charge had called her away to explain the hidden mechanism, the other groups of students had already left.

With mixed feelings of anxiety that Kitagawa Ryo might have already arrived and the desire to take a longer shower, Karuizawa Kei hurriedly took a shower and put on the dress she had been holding.

It was that sleeveless, pure white dress.

Standing on the beach again, with her skirt fluttering in the sea breeze, Karuizawa Kei even had the subtle illusion that she was here on vacation.

Just as Karuizawa Kei was lost in thought, a considerable commotion arose on the sea.

Kitagawa Ryo sped along on his jet ski.

Because it was rented out around noon yesterday, it hasn't actually been 24 hours yet, and Kitagawa Ryo still retains the right to use it.

He whistled lightly at the girl on the beach.

Kitagawa Ryo held the handlebars of the jet ski with one hand, and extended the other towards Karuizawa Megumi:

Want to go for a drive?

"Beautiful lady."

Chapter 158: Risk Avoidance - Kitagawa Ryo

"A jet ski? Where did Liang get that?"

Karuizawa Kei was genuinely surprised that Kitagawa Ryo would come sailing from the sea. Somewhat astonished, she ran over to Kitagawa Ryo and took the orange life jacket that he tossed to her. This was a gift she received when she exchanged the jet ski.

"What do you mean by 'where did you get it from'? Of course, it was obtained by exchanging points."

Kitagawa Ryo patted the back seat of the motorcycle, gesturing for Karuizawa Megumi to get on.

"I remember this was particularly expensive, maybe a thousand or two thousand points, and it was a daily rental."

Karuizawa Megumi hurriedly put on her own clothes

Touching the day at the beginning of the month

As usual, I'm taking a day off at the beginning of the month. Since Hiyori has absolutely no screen time in the latest volume of Classroom of the First Class, I've copied a few jokes about her from the forum:

When Hiyori dropped out of school in third grade, the entire Practical Education forum was in an uproar, with everyone discussing who Hiyori was.

Some people are spreading rumors that Hiyori hasn't appeared in a long time. I'm here to clarify that this is not a rumor.

New readers may not have seen Hiyori's home turf before, and even veteran readers haven't seen it before.

Chapter 159: The First Gathering

Around noon on the fourth day of the special exam on the deserted island, Chabashira Sae, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A, was eating the staff's boxed lunch while looking at the computer screen in front of her.

Chabashira Sae's job today is to coordinate the GPS coordinates and resource allocation of all 100+ students. The four homeroom teachers for the first grade take turns each day, and today it was her turn.

Because the school invested a lot of manpower and resources in this special exam on the deserted island, and in order to ensure the safety of the students as much as possible, there were even more school staff on the island than students. Under these circumstances, despite the abundance of supplies, the teachers' meals were all prepared by the school in a set menu to ensure efficiency.

Although the taste was only so-so due to its semi-industrialized fast food, and much worse than the school's staff canteen, the thought that most students on the deserted island were still eating hard baguettes every day to save points made the rice in Chasaki Sae's mouth seem acceptable.

Moreover, as the special exam on the deserted island has progressed, her Class A has been leading in both group and class rankings.

Thinking of this, the originally bland miso soup, once brewed, seemed to become more palatable. Just as Chashu Sae had picked up the bowl and taken a sip, she heard a sound coming from the school staff's personal radio in front of her.

"G4 area, G4 area supply depot, requesting immediate replenishment of supplies. List as follows: Fresh beef, fresh pork..."

"Okay, received."

Because the other party's tone was quite urgent, Chabashira Sae didn't delay. She put down the bento she was eating halfway through and started taking the printed list to the cruise ship to check the supplies. Then she called a helicopter to airlift them to the G4 area to hand them over to the other party.

All of them were fresh ingredients of all kinds, from fresh meat to vegetables to canned goods. Chasashi Sae checked them and secretly clicked her tongue. The total points required for these ingredients were even more than the current number one group, Katsuragi Kohei's group. It must be that several groups had exchanged the ingredients at G4, which is why they were forced to request allocation from headquarters.

The packaged ingredients were loaded onto the helicopter. Since a face-to-face handover was required, Chabashira Sae also sat in the co-pilot's seat. The helicopter took off quickly and soon landed in the G4 area.

After handing over the supplies to the teacher in charge of the G4 area, Chabashira Sae noticed a group of about a dozen students making quite a racket nearby, and casually asked:

"What's going on today? Several groups have come here together to exchange for ingredients?"

But the teacher in charge shook his head with a strange expression, pointed to the students who were working enthusiastically, and said:

"Although there are indeed several groups gathered here, only one of them is exchanging these supplies."

"One group? Where did they get so many points? You mean several groups each used their points to exchange for ingredients together?"

"Scores cannot be transferred between groups," Chabashira Sae asked, frowning.

She had specifically looked into it before coming, and although she had only done a rough calculation, she knew that the total price of these ingredients was definitely not something a single group could afford.

Besides, who would use so many points to exchange for ingredients for no reason?

"See for yourself."

The teacher in charge didn't bother to explain further, and simply swiped the tablet in her hand to show the page to Chabashira Sae.

[Exchange Record]

[At 11:20 AM, Kitagawa Ryo's group applied to exchange for a certain amount of ingredients, totaling 5,120 points.]

[A member in the group was found to hold a "Discount" (level 8). A total of 5120 × 0.4 = 2048 points were deducted from the group's score, and the redemption was successful.]

"A level 8 discount card?"

Chabashira Sae subconsciously raised her voice, glancing at the text record again in disbelief:

"This is only the fourth day of the deserted island exam, right? Where did he get an eighth-level card? Getting upgrade rewards twice a day on average? How is that possible?"

A series of questions, especially after discovering that this group was from Class D of the first year, caused Chabashira Sae's good mood, which was due to her good grades in Class A, to vanish without a trace.

As a school official, Chabashira Sae was very clear about what level eight ordinary card meant at this time. In the daily assignments broadcast by Tokyo Advanced Nurturing Junior High School, there were usually only one-tenth of the ordinary card upgrade rewards, and they were all exclusive to the first place winner.

Under such demanding conditions, if Kitagawa Ryo's team could achieve level eight on the fourth day, their score must have been quite high.

Chabashira Sae frantically pulled up the current leaderboard on her tablet, but it wasn't until she was almost at the bottom that she found Kitagawa Ryo's group in the thirtieth position.

"They just redeemed two thousand points worth of supplies."

The teacher in charge on the other side seemed to have noticed Chabashira Sae's thoughts. She sat down, opened her own bento box, and casually remarked something, but then looked over there with a slightly melancholy expression:

"If I were their class teacher, I would probably faint from anger if I saw such a group spending so many points on ingredients so extravagantly."

He picked up some rice with his chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered:

"But I am not."

The aroma of barbecue gradually wafted over.

Both of them swallowed hard.

"Damn, it smells so good."

-------------------------------------

"Come on, eat as much as you want. Don't be shy with me, and don't ask how much it cost. Just eat. This is ready again. Lingyin, come and help me take it down."

Kitagawa Ryo skillfully flipped the meat skewers on the grill, placing a handful of cooked meat on a plate. Horikita Suzune walked over and shook her head.

"You really know how to greet people."

"Call someone? What do you mean, call someone? We just bumped into each other on the road, right, Sudo?"

While enjoying his meal, Takeru Sudo laboriously lifted his head from the plate in front of him and nodded quite obediently.

"Yes, we ran into Kitagawa on the way. It was lunchtime, so we decided to have lunch together. Then we met Matsushita and Hasebe."

"It's okay, it's more lively with more people."

Kitagawa Ryo flexed his wrists while brushing oil onto the skewers, then, estimating the time, rushed over to the rice cooker next to him and called out:

"The rice is ready. Come and get some if you want."

Perhaps because they had been eating too much bread on the deserted island for the past few days, a whole pot of rice was quickly devoured by more than a dozen people, and some girls even looked like they were about to cry while eating.

"I never knew that Beichuan had such good craftsmanship."
