Half an hour later, the real combat assessment began.
The perpetually closed No. 9 entrance finally, at this moment, slowly opened up.
The entrance was large, estimated to be nearly fifty meters wide.
At the supervisor’s command, hundreds of candidates instantly filed in, scrambling to rush into the forest to seize the initiative.
Lin Zichen wasn’t in a hurry at all. He waited until everyone had rushed in and the entrance was no longer crowded, then leisurely entered with Shen Qinghan.
“Xiao Chen, there’s actually a map inside the forest, and even signposts!”
Shen Qinghan looked around the environment and discovered that there was a map sign erected ahead, and each path had signposts indicating the distance to the deepest part of the forest.
There was also a sentence highlighted in red as a warning, saying that the deeper into the forest, the more dangerous it gets, and to proceed according to one’s capability.
“The purpose of the college entrance exam is to select, not to eliminate through life-and-death situations. Having maps and signposts is normal; otherwise, there would likely be numerous casualties.”
After saying this, Lin Zichen stepped forward to glance at the map and signposts, then casually chose a path and went deeper into the forest with Shen Qinghan.
All along the way, he was carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Nearly every 100 meters, one could see a surveillance camera.
As for the safety officers, one could see one every 500 meters.
One could say that unless someone acted recklessly, this real combat assessment had no dangers whatsoever.
After walking about two kilometers,
Lin Zichen, with the effect of his Biometric Attributes “Eyes of the Sky,” noticed a scorecard on a large tree ahead.
It was a 1-point card, tied up with rope, hanging in a position more than ten meters high.
Without paying careful attention, it would be very difficult to spot.
“Han Han, there’s a scorecard on that tree up ahead. Can you see it in that position?”
“I see it. There really is one!”
“You climb up and get the card down.”
For Lin Zichen, this real combat assessment was meaningless; he could pass it with his eyes closed.
Therefore, he planned to let Shen Qinghan take action during the following seven days, to train her wilderness survival skills.
He, on the other hand, was responsible for being Shen Qinghan’s Mr. Yao, stepping in to help her solve problems she couldn’t handle on her own.
About this matter, the two had already agreed on before entering the forest.
Soon, Shen Qinghan arrived at the base of that tree.
She used her hands and feet to quickly climb up and in just a short time, successfully fetched the scorecard that was hung more than ten meters high.
“Xiao Chen, am I awesome or what?”
After coming down from the tree, Shen Qinghan immediately returned to Lin Zichen’s side and proudly said.
From climbing up to coming down, she took less than a minute, with exceptionally good climbing skills.
“Awesome!”
Lin Zichen gave her a thumbs up.
After chatting for a few moments on the spot, the two continued their journey deeper into the forest.
Lin Zichen acted as the radar, telling Shen Qinghan where the scorecards were so she could fetch them.
Working together in this manner for half a day, they easily scored 12 points.
Several safety officers along the way were astonished by their performance.
No matter how well-hidden the scorecards were, the pair could retrieve them as easily as if reaching into a bag, almost as if they had x-ray vision.
In the blink of an eye,
it was already afternoon.
Just as the two were about to look for something to eat, the sky suddenly darkened.
Looking up, they saw rain was coming.
Not far away, there was a cluster of banana trees, so they ran over there, tearing off banana leaves to make a rain shelter while also picking some bananas to eat.
Just as the rain shelter was finished, the downpour started, and the large raindrops beat against the banana leaves with a pattering sound.
“We’re really lucky to have set up the rain shelter just before it started to rain.”
Shen Qinghan stood under the shelter, eating a banana and speaking.
The heavy rain didn’t last long, stopping in less than half an hour.
Seeing that it was getting close to evening, Lin Zichen urged Shen Qinghan to go out and look for food and water, saying they needed to find it before dark, otherwise, they would go hungry tonight.
Shen Qinghan patted her chest and said, “Leave it to me. You have always taken care of me before, but this week it’s my turn to take good care of you!”
After the rain, puddles were everywhere on the ground,
and before long, Shen Qinghan’s shoes and the bottom of her trousers were wet.
But strangely, she didn’t feel uncomfortable; rather, she found the wetness somewhat pleasant.
She knew that this was the effect of her uncultivated superpower.
I’m very compatible with water, feeling comfortable whenever I come into contact with it.
“Can these fruits be eaten?”
Shen Qinghan found many wild fruits in a bush, the size of grapes, emerald in color and hard to the touch.
Uncertain if they were edible, she turned and asked Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen refused to answer the question, smiling and saying, “We agreed you’d take care of me, so I can’t help you with this.”
“Alright then, I’ll try it myself.”
After Shen Qinghan spoke, she picked a relatively ripe fruit and hesitantly bit into it.
The next second, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she spat out the fruit with a grimace, complaining about its sourness.
In the blink of an eye, the sky had darkened, and night had fallen.
Shen Qinghan made a bed from banana leaves, secured it to a tree with vines, and spent the night there with Lin Zichen.
She wanted to take off her pants to sleep, but since Lin Zichen was right beside her, it was inconvenient, so she chose to trust that she wouldn’t wet the bed during the night.
The next day dawned dimly.
Lin Zichen woke up to find Shen Qinghan lying on top of him, sleeping sweetly with drool at the corner of her mouth, some on his neck.
“At least I didn’t wet myself…”
Lin Zichen glanced at Shen Qinghan’s lower body, saw her pants were dry, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon after, Shen Qinghan woke up as well.
The two of them climbed down from the tree and continued deeper into the forest.
Like the day before, Lin Zichen acted as a radar, pointing out the locations of scorecards for Shen Qinghan to collect.
Around noon, they ran into someone familiar on the path.
It was the top student from Qianzhen City who had tried to hit on Shen Qinghan yesterday under the pretense of teaming up.
Seeing the two, the male student expressed surprise:
“What a coincidence?”
“Quite a coincidence.”
Lin Zichen politely responded to him.
The boy quickly turned his attention to Shen Qinghan beside him, and after just one more look, his heart thumped wildly, as if it would explode.
She’s too pretty!
She’s too cute!
If he didn’t get to know her today, he would surely regret it in the future!
Thinking this, the male student took out more than twenty scorecards from his pocket, laid them out in front of Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, and earnestly said:
“I am someone who repays even the smallest debt of gratitude with a wellspring of kindness. The bread and cookies you gave me yesterday, I’ve kept them in mind.”
“You might think it’s nothing, but personally, if I can’t repay kindness, it bothers me.”
“Really, just let me take you two, and we’ll divide the scorecards we collect evenly among the three of us.”
The practical exam isn’t too important in the martial arts college entrance exam, it’s enough to just pass.
The written exam is the same, passing is enough.
What’s really important are the physical tests that were already completed, and the final adaptability test.
That’s why this top student from Qianzhen City was willing to share the scorecards evenly.
Lin Zichen glanced at the scorecards in the other’s hand, there were 28 in total.
That was far more than the ones he and Shen Qinghan had together, almost three times as many.
In the outer area they were now, with not many scorecards placed around, it was impossible for one person to collect so many in a day’s time.
This top student from Qianzhen City, having so many scorecards now, had most likely taken them from other examinees.
With that in mind, Lin Zichen said, “We don’t need to team up, but if you really can’t get over it and want to repay the kindness, you can just give us the scorecards you have.”
Upon hearing this, the male student’s face turned unpleasant in an instant.
Having issued three invites to team up and being rejected all three times had made him somewhat infuriated.
“Classmate, it seems we’re on a narrow road.”
The male student dropped his facade, narrowed his eyes threateningly, and said.
At this moment, Lin Zichen’s “Danger Perception” biometric attribute was throbbing, sensing the intense malice emanating from the male student.
In response, he smiled calmly and said:
“Yes, the road is narrow.”
