The spiders melted into a pool of blood as the torrential rain washed over it.

The number of spiders crawling out of the cave had gradually decreased visibly, and the last few that crawled out were also killed by the acid rain in an instant. Xiao Tu’s nursery rhyme <Two Tigers> could only be played twice, and at the end of the song, the spiders in the cave were also cleaned up.

The surroundings were quiet, and the students looked at Yue Xingwen with a complicated look.

Yue Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “A false alarm. My torrential rain will greatly enhance the other major skills, and this acid of the Chemistry Department, when merged with my torrential rain, creates an enhanced version of acid rain that can kill any animal in a second.”

If there was no Xin Yan on the scene, a male student from the Chemistry Department, he could also do this kind of cooperation just now with the electrical skill from the Physics Department, and using lightning to kill all spiders, or the scalpel from senior brother Liu could also be used to make a knife rain.

This ‘Torrential Rain’ skill, had exceeded Yue Xingwen’s expectations in its first actual battle.

Yue Xingwen’s calmness of thinking the trick of ‘leading spiders out of the cave and wiped out in torrential rain’ at a critical moment made Ke Shaobin give a thumbs up, “It’s still Xingwen who is powerful. I was so confused just now and I didn’t think to let Xiao Tu lure them out.”

Yue Xingwen said, “You are afraid of spiders, so you can’t be blamed.”

It was impossible for a human to maintain absolute sanity when encountering something they feared, and Ke Shaobin had done a good job. Yue Xingwen patted his shoulder and said, “I have to trouble Xiao Tu to scout a little more to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.”

This spider contained a high level of poison, and if they missed a few of them, rushed in and got bitten, their previous effort would be wasted. Ke Shaobin immediately had Xiao Tu re-enter the cave and take the video inside the cave.

In the dark and damp cave, Xiao Tu’s radar monitoring did not find any heat traces of any life forms present, indicating that the spiders were all lured out, and Xiao Tu’s monster luring skills were truly impressive.

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and said, “The interior of this cave is very narrow, only one person can pass through. I will go in and get the card, you guys wait outside…”

Jiang Pingce reached out and stopped him, “Don’t bother, I’ll do it.” He glanced at the images taken by Ke Shaobin’s laptop and asked, “What is the length of the cave’s inner diameter as detected by Xiao Tu?”

Ke Shaobin said, “15 meters.”

Jiang Pingce calculated the distance mentally, raised his right hand lightly, and drew a coordinate system.

Judging from the image of the cave taken by Xiao Tu, the red card was placed on the stone deep in the cave. Jiang Pingce quickly wrote out the formula, and the flashing red card suddenly floated into the air as if it was blown by the wind, and then it floated up and down like a wave, all the way out of the cave and landed steadily in Jiang Pingce’s hand.

Yue Xingwen had long been accustomed to this scene, but the four students on the other side widened their eyes slightly. The ponytail female student asked curiously, “Classmate, what kind of skill do you have? Can you still pick up things from the air?”

Jiang Pingce said, “The Mathematics Department’s formula.”

The female student looked dazed, and Yue Xingwen explained it with a smile, “The Mathematics Department is too complicated, the average person can’t use this ability even if they get it, he just calculated the exact coordinates of the card, and then made the card float out of the cave with a sine curve movement. It’s not really moving objects from the air, it’s just a manipulation of the trajectory of a certain coordinate movement.”

The female student was shocked and muttered, “It’s a good thing I didn’t go to learn mathematics in the first place, or else it would be too bad if I got the skill and couldn’t even use it…” The companions next to her nodded in agreement. The Mathematics Department was too hardcore, they had to calculate formulas to use the skill!

Xin Yan asked, “How many points does the red card have?”

Jiang Pingce opened the card, and saw the number ‘20’ written on the back of the red card.

Yue Xingwen was overjoyed, “Great, 20-point card! As we just agreed, let’s split it equally.”

The ponytail female student on the other side blushed a little and said, “I think it’s not good… We didn’t help much, you were the one who commanded the team to destroy the spider swarm, and if it wasn’t for your robot and torrential rain, we wouldn’t have even been able to get into the spider cave.”

Yue Xingwen said, “Xin Yan’s acid helped a lot. Without his acid, killing the spiders would not be so fast.” He took out two 5-point green cards from his pocket and handed them to Xin Yan, “I take this 20-point card and give you two 5-point cards, considering that we got 10 points for each team.”

Ke Shaobin also said, “Since Xingwen had given it to you, you can take it. We have already 50 points before, these 10 points will add up to the passing grade and we can report to the finish line.”

Xin Yan frowned slightly. “50 points? Are you the C-183 Research Group?”

On the current Research Group’s leaderboard, there were two research groups with 50 points [C-183] and [B-16], he did not say the four people of Yue Xingwen’s team were the B-16 research group, and directly said they were C-183 research group…

Then there was only one possibility. Yue Xingwen asked rhetorically, “Are you the B-16 Research Group?”

Xin Yan nodded his head, “It’s a coincidence, we also have 50 points, tied with you.”

The ponytail female student’s eyes next to him brightened with excitement, “Does that make both of our teams pass at the same time?!”

Yue Xingwen took the 20-point card and gave them two 5-point green cards, and the final result was—— Both teams scored 60 points and passed at the same time, all happy.

Xin Yan was no longer polite and took two 5-point cards from Yue Xingwen’s hand, “Thanks.”

Yue Xingwen said, “You’re Young Ke’s high school classmate, and we’re schoolmates, no need to be polite.”

Xin Yan looked at Ke Shaobin, “Young Ke? When did you have such a nickname?”

Ke Shaobin’s ears turned red and he said, “If they call me Shaobin, it similar to Shaobing which means baked sesame-seed coated cake, and the abbreviation is SB… *cough**cough*,  so I asked them to call me Ke Shao(Young Ke), it sounds a little bit… cool.”

Xin Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at the white robot in Ke Shaobin’s hand, “This Xiao Tu, did you name it too?”

Ke Shaobin nodded his head, “En, isn’t that nice?”

Xin Yan looked at the little robot with the light on its head and said, “…Not bad.”

Yue Xingwen came over and asked, “Xin Yan, you had collected 50 points so quickly. Did you search the outskirts of this deserted island?”

Xin Yan replied, “That’s right. We made a mistake when we landed yesterday and were almost blown into the sea. Yesterday afternoon and today, we searched along the coast on the beach, finding 6 green cards and 2 blue cards for a total of 50 points.”

In this way, there was no need for them to continue to the periphery.

Yue Xingwen took out the map and pointed to a swamp. “You haven’t searched in this swamp area?”

Xin Yan replied, “En. You didn’t search either?”

Yue Xingwen said, “We came from the other side of the mountain. There is still time, since our teams are sure to pass, why don’t we split up and search the swamp? And we will cooperate together if we encounter a more difficult red card.”

The other team’s members looked at each other and agreed.

Everyone parted at the fork in the road and conducted a carpet search on the vast swamp.

On the way, Yue Xingwen casually asked about Xin Yan, “Young Ke, how is your relationship with Xin Yan? How much do you know about him?”

Ke Shaobin replied, “Our relationship is actually very ordinary, and we just know each other. After going to university, because we were high school classmates, I left contact information to him but we usually have very little contact, which is definitely not as good as you and Pingce.”

Yue Xingwen glanced at Jiang Pingce and met the latter’s gaze, and both of them smiled at each other—— It was rare to have a good relationship like them. From high school’s rival to best confidants in university.

Yue Xingwen continued to ask, “Then what do you think of Xin Yan’s personality?”

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses, and said seriously, “When he was in high school, he didn’t talk to people much. Because he was relatively thin with fair skin, and his height had not yet grown, some boys in our class often bullied him…”

Yue Xingwen could imagine what happened to Xin Yan in high school. The students in high school loved to group together to bully some classmates they did not like, which was actually school bullying and caused a lot of psychological damage to their classmates.

Xin Yan had fair skin, a relatively rare cold fair skin among boys. His temperament was cold, not very sociable, plus his height had not yet grown up, indeed look quite good to bully.

Liu Zhaoqing was most disgusted by this kind of bullying, and when he heard this, he could not help but frown, “He just let people bully him? Doesn’t he know how to fight back?”

Ke Shaobin looked around to make sure there were no outsiders, and then whispered. “That’s not true. This Xin Yan is particularly a vengeful person. Once during the holidays, several boys in our class were blocked in the toilet and beaten blues and their faces were swollen. One of them was smashed by him with a bench, with seven stitches on his head. Since then, no one dares to say that he is a sissy, and hiding after seeing him…”

Liu Zhaoqing’s scalp was numb. “I can’t see it ah! This boy is so fierce!” Even if Xin Yan was now taller, he looked quite gentle and clean, he did not expect that he could directly smash people’s heads, which was indeed fierce enough.

Ke Shaobin smiled, “You can’t judge a person by appearance. He looks civil and frail, but he is terrible when fighting, the kind that has to see blood.”

Jiang Pingce leaned over to Yue Xingwen’s ear and whispered, “You’re inquiring about him because you want to recruit him as a teammate?”

Yue Xingwen said, “Our team is not strong enough to pass the courses of other major faculty’s courses later. If there are multiple Chemistry Department in the team, you have just seen how powerful it is when combined with my torrential rain. No matter what the personality is, as long as that person doesn’t do anything to betray his teammates, I’m okay with that.”

Ke Shaobin scratched his head in confusion and said, “But he has a team, right?”

Yue Xingwen analyzed, “Their team should be temporarily formed for the Public Elective course, they don’t talk to each other much and they don’t seem to be familiar with each other. Maybe they will be disbanded after the Public Elective course.” He paused and continued, “Depending on the situation, Young Ke, you can keep in touch with him, if one day his team is disbanded or he quits, you can pull him to our side.”

Ke Shaobin nodded, “En, I understand.”

The four of them chatted while searching for the point card. Since they now had a full score of 60 points, there was no need to be so nervous. Of course, it was better to find the point cards, but it did not matter if they could not find it.

The path through this swamp was not easy to walk, and the four of them slowly scouted forward, finding two more 5-point green cards before dark.

They had 70 points now. Yue Xingwen was satisfied and said, “There’s no need to fight too hard, it’s almost dark, let’s get out of this swamp as soon as possible. We can’t see the road after dark, in case we get into trouble if we get stuck in the mud.”

The four of them left the swamp with the help of Xiao Tu’s scouting, and went to the nearby forest to find a large tree to rest.

After a few moments, Xin Yan and his team probably saw the fire and came to join them.

Ke Shaobin asked, “Xin Yan, how was your harvest ah?”

Xin Yan said, “We only found two green cards.”

Yue Xingwen said, “It seems that the number of red cards is very low, and there should only be green cards left in this swamp.”

On the leaderboards in the upper right corner, their two teams tied for 70 points, with the first place still the A-76 Research Group with 100 points. They had not met with that team yet, obviously that team was on the other side of the deserted island.

Yue Xingwen sat down by the tree and took out the grilled fish from his backpack. Xin Yan had a lot of shells and crabs in their backpacks, which they should have caught from the sea. Then, they set up a fire and started roasting them to eat.

Both sides looked at each other. Ke Shaobin swallowed his saliva and whispered, “Can I change a crab with you?”

Xin Yan handed a crab, and Ke Shaobin hurriedly handed the grilled fish to him, smiling, “Thank you!”

Yue Xingwen was helpless by the foodie Ke Shaobin’s obsession. In his opinion, this deserted island was a rotten place, and it was good to be able to eat enough.

It was thoroughly dark by the time everyone had settled their dinner.

At this moment, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky. The heavy rain poured down, and everyone’s clothes were instantly soaked by the rain, and the fire they had just built was also extinguished by the heavy rain.

The heavy rain stopped after only a few minutes, and this kind of rain shower was the most annoying. Everyone’s faces who were drenched into chicken soup did not look good.

Liu Zhaoqing directly cursed. “Is this fucking rain deliberately preventing us from getting a good night’s sleep? Our clothes are all wet, the surrounding leaves and branches are also wet, how can we light the fire?”

Hearing this, Yue Xingwen suddenly took out his own modern idiom dictionary.

Liu Zhaoqing’s mouth stiffened. “You don’t want to burn the dictionary, right?”

Yue Xingwen immediately took out a lighter, smiled and said, “Tear a few sheets of paper and burn them for everyone to dry their clothes.”

They saw Yue Xingwen tear off many pieces of paper and light it, then retrieve the dictionary and summon it again, continuing to tear off the paper. Since the dictionary was very thick and had a self-healing ability, he kept summoning, tearing the paper, retrieving, summoning…

In this way, he had a constant supply of paper.

This was much better than the wet firewood.

Everyone: “……”

If the dictionary had a consciousness, it would be very aggrieved—— Yue Xingwen, how can you treat a magic dictionary like this?!
