CHAPTER XLII

Mo Wen and Shao Yan, who were in the conference room, watched Qi Min eat in the wind, and both of them felt a little frightened. Although they had long heard that Qi Minzhi, the dean of the Capital Star Scout Academy, was an unsophisticated person. But they couldn't have imagined that he was such an unsophisticated person. Shao Yan suddenly smiled, it seems that the entire Capital Star Scout Academy is so interesting.

The next day, Liuli and his party left the hotel. They went to the largest medicinal herb market in Qiandao Star. If you want to survive in the wild, what better place to learn about the plants and medicinal herbs of this planet than the medicinal herb market?

Liuli and the others are ready to take a good walk around. Although they are basically adapted to the climate here. But who knows if the body will feel uncomfortable after strenuous exercise. So start with walking for a long time, and gradually let your body adapt to exercising in a wet and cold environment.

A group of people chose to walk to the medicinal herb market. The medicinal herb market is only 10 kilometers away from the hotel, and it is only a half-hour walk to get there. Liuli insisted on walking five kilometers before feeling that she couldn't do it. She was not hypocritical, and sat directly on the back chair that Jiang Hongjie was carrying. This chair was specially built for this competition. It not only did not violate the regulations of the competition, but also ensured the convenience of Jiang Hongjie and Liuli's movement to the greatest extent.

A few people went shopping, but the standing position was the one they had practiced for half a month. Wu Zheng and Jiang Ruan opened the way at the front. Among them is Jiang Hongjie carrying Liuli on his back. The four are the strongest, so they are in front. Behind are Liu Danfeng, Li Jun and Huang Yiyong. These three are weaker. Behind are Lu Baichuan, Huo Xiangxiang and Guo Zifan. There is no echelon with Adepts in the middle. And the physical ability protects the ability in the middle, and can carry them forward at critical moments.

When the few people who walked walked to the medicinal herb market, their breathing was a little short. Liuli got down from Jiang Hongjie's back and carefully observed the state of several people. She frowned and said, "I didn't feel it at first, but now you think about it, do you feel that your body is heavier than before." Especially Jiang Hongjie, have you noticed any difference between my weight on my back and my usual weight? ”

Several people looked at each other and sensed it carefully, it was really like that. Jiang Hongjie also recalled it carefully and replied, "That's really the case." It's really a pit to choose Qiandao Star for this competition. We thought we just had to adapt to the cold and humid climate. I didn't expect gravity to need to be re-adapted. ”

Wu Zheng estimated and said: "In fact, the gravity here should not be much compared to the Capital Star. It's about 1.2 times the gravity of the capital star. If you don't pay attention, you won't feel it. But once you exercise vigorously, you can consume more than twice as much physical energy. Luckily, we found out early, so we need to practice a little bit more when we go back. ”

Ruri agreed, "That's right, the Adept also needs to practice. The gravity becomes larger, which affects the speed and accuracy of our attacks. I'll go back to the hotel later, I'll go to Wang Dali to see if there is a training room to rent. I was thinking of a step-by-step exercise. But it's not even a few days before the start of the game. If you want to break through the shackles as soon as possible, you can only train to the extreme. A few of you who are physically fit should be prepared to endure hardships. I will contact the school doctor who is with me and he will always be ready to help us adjust our physical condition. ”

The others nodded in agreement. Jiang Hongjie also said: "Actually, it's good to do extreme training in this situation. There are great benefits to the breakthrough of our capabilities. ”

A few people walked around the medicinal herb market, and Liuli saw a huge stall with many herbs on it. An old man with a white beard is processing herbs. In the interstellar era, once people appear old, it means that life is coming to an end. It also means that he has lived long enough and has a lot of experience.

Liuli walked over with a well-behaved smile on his face: "Hello grandpa, my name is Mo Liuli." Can you tell us about the properties of these herbs and the environment in which they are grown? ”

The old man looked at the uniform on Liuli's body, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes: "The little girl is smart, she knows that she came here to learn about the plants of the Thousand Island Star." It's not a hassle to explain it to you. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, so what are you going to pay me? ”

Ruri glanced at the old man with a kind face. There was a sparkle of wisdom in his eyes. reminded her of her eighty-year-old grandfather in the 21st century, and a closeness arose. Liuli's smile was more sincere: "Thank you for the compliment." What is the grandfather's surname? ”

The old man saw that Liuli's smile came from the bottom of his heart, but his impression of her was much better. Of course, he could see that Ruri was pretending to be obedient at first. But as a participant, her little caution seemed harmless to him. The old man also smiled: "My surname is Bai, and everyone in this area knows that my old man Bai's herbs are good." ”

When Liuli heard this, she was even happier: "It turns out that Grandpa Bai is so famous in this area, he must be very capable." I was so lucky, I picked the best. ”

The old man Bai was comforted by Liuli's sycophancy. But he wasn't just casually coaxed. He asked with a smile in his eyes, "Okay, don't be a sycophant, little girl." Let's be honest, what are you going to pay me? ”

Liuli asked him rhetorically: "Then what kind of reward does Grandpa Bai need?" ”

The old man laughed: "Cunning little girl." Okay, look at your eyes and mine, and you will stay and help me. Well done, I'll tell you about these herbs. ”

Where did Liuli not know that this was the old man who released the water. The group of them immediately saluted Old Man Bai and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Bai, just tell us if you have something." ”

Throughout the afternoon, Old Man Bai was really not polite, and commanded the ten of them in a circle. However, Old Man Bai was not ambiguous when he explained the knowledge. It's not just the environment in which these herbs are grown and the basic benefits. What other herbs can be combined to dispel what demonic beasts, and what poisons can be cured, it is clear what kind of poison can be dissolved. Especially when talking about the latter two, Liuli always felt that the old man Bai looked at them with a particularly meaningful look. This made Ruri have to think more.

When it was almost time for dinner, Old Man Bai drove them back. After they left, Old Man Bai dialed the communication of the organizing committee: "The Capital Star Scout Academy has completed an intelligence collection mission. Shao Yan, who received the information, smiled directly. He was getting more and more interested in the little ones. Being able to think of going to the medicinal herb market to collect information means that some of them must have received professional training in the quality of a commander. If not, it can only be said that the person who came up with the idea was born a good seedling to be a commander. Either way, it made him look forward to this group of little guys more and more. I don't know what the situation of the other colleges is, but they should all be here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, it can be seen from the bad character of the deans of the major Scout academies that each Scout Academy is cheating on the students. The difference is only in the degree of the pit, and the degree of the cognitive pit of the students. And the Federal Scout Academy Tournament obviously can't get around the pit.

Even if there is a dean leading the team, the academy will not interfere in the affairs of the team after registration. The unanimous statement for students to come here early is to avoid adaptation. But the real reason is the invisible assessment of the students' ability to prepare for war. There are many stealth intelligence providers and assessors like Old Man Bai on this island. It's up to these participating students to find out.

Back at the hotel, Jiang Hongjie wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liuli shaking his head. Liuli motioned for him to look at the door of the hotel, and another member of the Scout Academy came to report. Everyone understands that from now on, they will not only have to gather intelligence, but also prevent others from stealing their intelligence.

Back in the room, Ruri asked everyone to check if there was any sign of anyone coming in. Although everyone felt that Liuli was a little overly worried, they still checked it carefully. Everyone said they didn't find anything. If it was in the past, Liuli would be relieved. But after the teaching of Old Man Bai this afternoon, she had an idea in her heart, which made her have to guard against it.

Liuli turned out a detector newly developed by Wu Yuan from the space button. Originally, Wu Yuan threw it to her to play. Tell her to find a chance to try the effect. When she was packing up, she brought it with her. That's where it comes in handy.

Liuli turned on the detector, and after a while, the screen showed that there were monitors and bugs in the living room. The people at the Capital Star Scout Academy were speechless, they didn't expect these things to really exist. Thankfully, the person who is this thing still has discipline and didn't put it in the bedroom?

Liuli sighed and said, "These should be released by the organizing committee." We were still careless, and Uncle Wang reminded us yesterday that our every move after reporting was within the scope of inspection. I should have thought of it yesterday. ”

Jiang Ruan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't find yourself a pot back, we can only say that we have underestimated the lower limit of the organizing committee." Now the question is, are we going to leave these things alone? ”

Huo Xiangxiang spoke first: "That's not good!" Even if it's something put by the organizing committee. But when we think of it, our every move is in the eyes of this group of people. Every word spoken will be heard by them. I was sick. ”

Seeing the others looking at him, Liuli nodded: "Tear it down, who knows if the organizing committee will leak our information on a whim." ”

Several of the boys immediately followed the instructions of the detector and found the monitor and bugging. Jiang Hongjie said while dismantling the surveillance: "The organizing committee won't do such a crazy thing, right?" ”

Wu Zheng sneered: "God knows. Haven't you seen the beginning of this afternoon's events? ”

Jiang Hongjie said: "Of course I see that something is wrong. But I think the team leader has a deeper view. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken out the detector. ”

Ruri sighed and said, "I suspect that coming here early to adapt to the environment is just a pretense. The race started as soon as we reported to the climate. ”

The crowd fell silent. Liu Danfeng threw the dismantled bugging device on the coffee table and said, "In this way, we should have completed an intelligence gathering mission today." ”

Ruri nodded in acquiescence.

"Damn!" Jiang Hongjie burst into foul language, "Sure enough, there are pits everywhere!" We thought that the college was enough to pit, but the organizing committee of the competition turned out to be even more pit. It's really a pit that is deeper than a pit! ”

When Ruri heard this, she smiled. She said a joke on the planet: "The longest road we have traveled is the routine of the organizing committee. ”

As a result, the group of people who were still depressed just now laughed.
