Hearing Su Yao's serious nonsense, Jiang Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing again.

At the same time, she could also hear Su Yao's subtext, meaning that without her help, even if he was alone, he might not be able to deal with Lord Night Weasel.

This made her feel a little relieved.

"But of course, even if I meet me in the rematch like this, I won't show mercy." Su Yao said casually after eating the energy bar, "Don't let go just because I am handsome."

Jiang Xiaoyue smiled slightly: "Well, that's of course...or, I don't have a standpoint to do that."

When she said this, she still sounded helpless.

Su Yao knew what she meant.

After all, whether it is becoming an awakened person or participating in this competition, this is actually not Jiang Xiaoyue’s own wish. It’s just that because the teacher and family think she is talented and think it is the best way out for her, so she did it.

To put it bluntly, she did not play this game for herself, but for those who had expectations for her.

After spending two days with her, Su Yao discovered that Jiang Xiaoyue herself actually had a very different impression of her than others.

Many people may take it for granted that geniuses are cold and inaccessible, or they may think that people who have achieved so many honors and achievements like her should be the kind of people with strong ambition and strong sense of autonomy.

But in fact, she is exactly the opposite of these.

The real Jiang Xiaoyue is actually a very easy-going person. She doesn't show any high attitude towards others, and she always speaks lightly and delicately, and she rarely even refutes you anything.

Su Yao guessed that the reason why she always seemed a little lonely was because few people were willing to get close to her.

This is not a strange thing, because the fact is that she is better than most people.

Birds of a feather flock together. It is difficult for people to play with people who are better than themselves, especially among students.

Too good can become a wall between you and others. People will naturally think that you are the person on the other side of the wall and think that they cannot get close to you.

Regarding the autonomy, she is completely contrary to others' imagination.

Although she seemed to have gone very far along the way, Su Yao actually found that Jiang Xiaoyue had a completely unindependent personality.

Although she is very talented, learns very quickly, and has the best among her peers, she is actually not good at making decisions on her own, at least during her team with Su Yao.

Often, Su Yao said she would go quietly wherever she said she would go. She would go obediently if Su Yao said she would go obediently if Su Yao said she would go...

Although Su Yao would usually explain his ideas and reasons for his actions to her and share his opinions in order to respect his teammates' opinions. However, now he suspected that even if he did not explain anything, she might do what he meant as long as he was not outrageous.

From a certain perspective, Jiang Xiaoyue is actually quite simple, she is the type of "selling her and helping you count money"...

"Since you must play in this game anyway, why not change your mindset?" Su Yao said, "It's not for anyone else, but for yourself."

Jiang Xiaoyue pointed at herself in confusion: "For myself?"

"Yes." Su Yao nodded, "Go to the hell out of any parent and teacher's expectations. After stepping onto the arena, the battle belongs to you. Whether you win or lose, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Jiang Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment without saying a word.

It seems that she is not very adapted to such a change. After all, she has never done anything for herself since she was a child, but has been trying hard to respond to other people's expectations.

"That's better." Su Yao changed his tone, "We'll know each other like this. When the game is over, let's have barbecue together. But..."

He smiled mysteriously.

"If my ranking is higher than you in the rematch, you have to be responsible for treating. On the other hand, if your noun is higher than me, it is me treating you. How about it?"

Jiang Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"OK."

......

The third and last day of the preliminary round.

Su Yao and Jiang Xiaoyue have earned enough points. As long as there is no accident, they should be the top two in the preliminary round. There is no need for them to earn points specifically on the remaining last day. They just need to reach the end point designated by the map within a limited time.

After spending these days in the forest, they have already had enough experience in dealing with it and basically no longer encounters any obstacles along the way.

On the way, they also encountered a wave of water ghosts and a few wild wolves, but now they are familiar with these miscellaneous fish. The points they can earn are just drizzling in front of the total points in their hands, and nothing worth mentioning.

The two of them rushed to the full speed for a while and finally arrived at the designated location marked on the map just after noon.

Or, at least it should be said below that location.

Following the guide of the map, I walked out of the jungle. What caught my eye was a black Wei Ran mountain, standing like a sword blade, extending all the way into the lingering clouds and mist.

"So the goal is to this?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked.

"It seems to be." Su Yao shrugged.

The paths dug out manually on the mountain walls are not too difficult to climb.

The two of them walked along the rugged mountain road, with no one around, not even a ghost.

After walking for about twenty minutes, they began to discover traces of others... or ghosts.

Those were a few water ghosts, but they had already died. Two of them were broken open, and one of them was roasted all over, just like cinder poured out of the boiler.

Su Yao and Jiang Xiaoyue looked at each other.

Someone went up before them.

This is nothing strange, not even as expected.

After all, today is the last day of the competition. To be safe, most students should come to the finish line to meet up now. If they fail to catch up within the deadline because they are greedy for so many points outside, it would be too much of a loss.

However, generally speaking, most people should choose to come here today. The game time limit is only three days in total. The earlier you come to the finish line, the more chances you give up to earn points, and you will be easily left farther by others.

Of course, if you didn’t plan to win a place in the rematch from the beginning and just wanted to pass the level guarantee, that would be a different matter.

Looking up at Wei Ran's tall mountain peak, the clouds and mists, Su Yao suddenly had a strong premonition.

The finish line of this game may not be that simple.
Chapter completed!
