"...Chicken Eating Contest?"
Heita's eyes widened and he looked down.
Although in a sense her gaze moving downward was quite appropriate, Sora had to explain that the game itself was not that straightforward.
"Students randomly thrown into the battlefield attack each other with weapons and equipment randomly distributed in the competition area, and a single winner is determined in the shrinking activity area."
Kong's explanation made Black Tower, who was looking forward to hearing more about the past diversity of human species, put down some of his unkind curiosity.
"Besides that, there are all kinds of random activities like the Total Strength Competition. Students ignore Xia Lai's authority and put me on the podium as a prize... There are always eight or nine such events a year. Later on, the honor of the competition itself is no longer important. It's more about the material rewards..."
"It sounds like the emperor is inspecting his harem—"
"Have you ever seen an emperor tied to a podium by his harem?"
Kong said unhappily, "I've always believed that the scariest thing in this world is the moment when you become a scarce resource. What's even scarier is that I've been to quite a few similar places."
"...No wonder you don't take the initiative in matters between men and women..." Heita suddenly realized.
On the other side of the call, Silver Wolf also responded at an inopportune time:
"So you are just bored because you have eaten too much?"
139.Teacher, where are you now? I have grown up
In response to Silver Wolf's annoying complaints, Kong just rolled his eyes and secretly decided that when he was free at home one day, he would call Silver Wolf over to let her understand what "there are good things in my room" meant.
The teacher never eats the children on his own initiative - but if the children jump too much, they will be brought to justice.
...And the reason why Sora suddenly thought of the students of Kivotos was probably related to the sudden activation of the system.
【Aha's energy has arrived again. 】
"Huh?? Why is he transferring money now?"
[It seems that because the host has captured Silver Wolf——the "Azure File System" has been fully charged. 】
"..."
Wow, instead of taking down Ester, Silver Wolf’s favorability satisfied Aha’s requirements first?
Although the last step had not been taken yet, and strictly speaking he and Silver Wolf were not even friends at the moment, Ah Ha was surprisingly lenient when judging Sora to complete the contract.
[Energy is sufficient, no need to activate emergency summons for the time being, host, the "Azure Archives System" hopes to decide who to send over through the traditional Kivotos Battle Royale. ]
...Wait, when did eating PUBG become a Kivotos tradition? ?
Even though most of the students had grown up before Kong left, he had never heard of any student union proposing to make the chicken-eating contest an official event. This thing was like the black market controlled by the group and belonged to a completely gray area - everyone knew it existed and would participate, but there was no official record of such an event.
Although Kong helped his students maintain a fairy-tale world, he also had to make them understand the nature of how the world works when they grow up - and this activity was a product of his own failure in real teaching.
“Why do we have to organize a chicken-eating contest?”
[There is only one spot available for transmission. Emergency summons may cause the remaining reserve reinforcements who did not grab the spot in the first place to beat their chests and stamp their feet in agony.]
Perhaps because the situation was getting better and better, the system was already speaking in a very empty tone - although it was telling the truth: [For the sake of relative fairness and to ensure that the reinforcements have enough combat power, this time we will reserve enough time for the host's students to jointly decide on the candidate.]
...What kind of joint decision is this? If they were ranked by ability, there were only a few students that Sora could think of winning...
Either it’s Baizi who has completely given up hope, or Hina who has already “retired” from the Discipline Committee…but because of their huge reputations, they can easily be besieged in battle, so the outcome is hard to say.
Of course, since he would never have the chance to go back and see his lovely students, Sora was not sure what happened to the powerful students in his memory. Would the uncle abandon his tactics because of his departure? Would Nero still train with C&C? Would Ruoza still go crazy looking at his own photos...
If he immersed himself in the vortex of memories, he might be sucked away by uncertainty and regret at any time. He stopped his wild thoughts in time and took two bites of the steak.
No matter which student came, he just had to accept him - that was all he could do.
"This way, when reinforcements arrive, there will be an extra 50% of energy. Which system should we awaken next?"
[“Gundam UC System”, all the extra energy has been transferred to it. ]
"Great! If everything goes well, we will have ground, space, and personal weapons before we set off."
It seemed that Kong's appetite had improved a lot. This wonderful change in his emotions was reflected in his actions, causing both Screw and Black Tower to look at him a few more times.
"How many days will the chicken-eating contest last?"
[The latest rule is 24 hours. The Azure File System has helped speed up the event. The host's student, Kurosaki Hina... the general student council president, has already determined the venue for the competition——]
"...Wait? Hinata??"
[After you left, she went to the General Student Union and prepared to jump to the federal government, hoping to find you with the help of a greater force—originally she wanted to join Xialai out of admiration for you, but Xialai’s work was not close enough to the “essence” you mentioned, so she decided to do it all at once.]
"…Ah?? That kid actually went into politics?"
Although it was understandable, Sora still thought that Hinata would never suffer any more after her retirement - she had to bear too much during high school, causing her to be in a state where Sora thought she could die at any time.
But this kid, who knew the Ikivotos system well and knew that it would be exhausting to make changes, went from the Discipline Committee to the General Student Union...jumped from one hell to another...
This was something he had never expected, and it made Kong's mood, which had just improved, suddenly become much heavier. The speed of his fork placement slowed down, and the ups and downs were huge.
"...The time doesn't seem to match... Even if she's still alive, she should be very old."
[The flow of time in Kivotos was limited, so a long time had passed. However, the time experienced by the students was probably not as long as the host judged. They were still young while they were mature. The Azure Archives System said that due to the host's efforts, Kivotos did not restart this time. Hinai was preparing to develop in the federal government while studying at university. She already had a group of die-hard followers - and she had obtained the support of the secret arts of numbers.]
This is the strength of the high-level martial arts world. While some of Kong’s old friends have been buried, Kivotos is still standing strong.
"How could that be? She should understand the risks of dealing with the numerology—"
[Kurofu also wants to find the host. He will provide all necessary support and promise not to restart the experiment before that. In fact, since the new treaty was established and the teacher disappeared, all research on the secret arts has stagnated. At present, Kurofu has indeed kept his promise and supplied resources to Hinata to run for and consolidate her position. It seems that finding the "teacher" is a higher priority. ]
"..."
Heifu, you damn Nantong... Forget it, why don’t I ask my students to bring him some local specialties back this time...if there is a chance.
Sora picked up the tablecloth and wiped the cold sweat off his face.
"I have always thought that Dr. Kong is not a person who 'expresses his emotions', but it turns out that on the road to seeking knowledge, people always ignore the perspectives of others."
Seeing Kong's gaze drifting over, ScrewGum, who had been admiring his rich facial movements for a long time, joked.
"He just wants us not to disturb his thinking - either that hacker kid is torturing him, or he is talking to that system." Heita held his chin and kicked his calves under the table like a girl, occasionally touching Kong's boots.
"Don't mind me. I was indeed talking to the system just now. When did you know me so well, Black Tower?"
"Humph, I still have some basic eyesight."
Just this casual remark made Heita feel elated again: "Are you done thinking? Now let's discuss how to shut up those arrogant people."
140. In the online world, truth and falsehood are intertwined.
"Ah, you mean the Black Tower Lady Solo Push Association."
Sora held his chin with one hand and casually picked at the empty plate: "What, are you planning to go after Ester and do something ruthless?"
"…Though those clowns won't really threaten Ester,…I'm worried about Ester's recent work status."
The Black Tower changed its previous attitude of letting Estelle handle it, and prepared to bring down the iron fist called "Parent".
"Her efficiency is too low. The group is still alive and well."
Are you sure it wasn't because you got to base too quickly that Estelle was confused for a while?
Kong thought so in his heart, but there was not even a trace of mockery on his face, which was completely different from the relaxed expression he had just had.
"Maybe she wanted to give the staff a trash can to vent their anger."
He looked up, as if he had thought of something interesting, and chuckled twice: "If the outlet for negative emotions is destroyed, then dirty things will be thrown all over the streets - which is something no manager wants to see."
"...Oh?" Heita raised his eyebrows.
"Although it can't be considered centralized management, with her tacit approval, it can be regarded as opening a pressure relief valve for those dissatisfied section staff. Black Tower, you might as well think about it carefully. If we blow up this group, it will affect more than just this group of people."
"That makes sense."
She nodded.
Heita is just not good at management, which doesn't mean she can't understand the tricks involved.
"But if we leave it like this, those annoying relatives of Estelle will definitely intervene and look for evidence against her. I was too presumptuous in my previous judgment, and the people below me had no intention of restraining themselves..."
"I can make all the discussions in this group for a period of time invalid evidence."
"Just to neutralize it?"
"Yes, the trash can can continue to exist, but its odor will not spread. Wait a minute, I will go talk to Ester. Time is running out."
After saying that, Sora pulled Paimon, who was still reluctant to put down his lunch bag, towards the rich lady's table.
"Esda, you are the leader of the Single Push Association, right?"
"…Hmm? Sora, how did you know that? When did I ever tell you?"
Kong's sudden appearance startled Esta, who was having a heated discussion about astronomy with Haiya.
"Black Tower is very worried that you will continue to be influenced by that group. I took a look and now is a good opportunity to make them shut up. You just need to help me make sure that the data I sent will not be withdrawn."
"Tell them to shut up? Ah, I have already set up a rumor-refuting message from the security center, ready to be sent before the investment department arrives."
"No, that alone won't work."
Sora took out his cell phone and stretched his arm forward, bringing his cheek slightly closer to Ester—
“The combination of reality and fiction is the charm of surfing the Internet.”
Click.
Kong quickly prepared a group photo, and he clicked into the single push association group and immediately @ed everyone.
Ahani Masile: [Family, I found a super explosive piece of information that almost proves that Ester is having an affair with someone! ]
Guatian Lizai: [Super explosive news? Quick, quick, send it out for us to see! ]
Ahani Masile: [Picture]
Mars Robot: [There are actually pictures and the truth! Who is this golden retriever? ]
Unlicensed Flying Spaceship: [Wait... this seems to be a photo of Dr. Kong and the stationmaster? It's him! Where did you get the photo? ]
Bill Gewa: [It is well known that photos can be photoshopped, so they are not necessarily real. ]
Red-haired turtledove: [The point is not whether the photo is real or not, but the shooting angle? This is the angle of a selfie! ]
Driving a spaceship without a license: [Huh?]
