I Can Control Resources - Chapter 80: The First Prompt
Would Gao Neng let go?
Absolutely not!
He pressed down hard, his two wings balled into fists, relentlessly pummeling all sorts of soft spots on the fox’s body.
The scene was, for a moment, quite bloody.
The fox’s cries were miserable, but Gao Neng was too strong. Pinned beneath him, she couldn’t move at all. In the end, she could only die amidst her screams.
Flower Destroyer: 4/30.
Gao Neng was in a great mood. At this rate, he could take down at least ten to twenty in the Virtual Battlefield. If he was lucky, maybe even more.
’Huh? Another female high school student is actually heading my way? She must have heard the commotion over here.’ Gao Neng spread his Spiritual Power out again and discovered that another target was now even closer. This was a pleasant surprise.
Gao Neng decided to wait in the tall grass for a bit.
Soon, a large white rabbit appeared in his field of vision. Its two eyes were red, and its ears were perked up, constantly listening for any sounds in the surroundings.
"QUACK QUACK QUACK!" the duckling squad called out.
"..." The large white rabbit froze for a moment, a hint of caution in its eyes, but it still gradually approached, hopping along cutely.
But the instant she reached the edge of the grass...
A duck wing shot out.
"AHHH!!!" The large white rabbit let out a piercing scream. Before she could even react, Gao Neng grabbed her and pulled her into the tall grass.
Then, miserable screams rang out again.
"I’ll fight you to the death... Ah... It hurts! Let me go... Who are you?! Sob, sob, sob... You’re a bully, you ambushed me... AHHHHH..."
Finally, the sounds stopped.
Gao Neng tidied his feathers and strode out from the tall grass.
Flower Destroyer: 5/30.
Keep it up!
’Time to get quacking, I’m getting close to ten!’
Gao Neng was a positive, hardworking, and aspiring person, so he wouldn’t get arrogant over a small success. He was going to take down even more female high school students.
...
「Half an hour later.」
Two female high school students, walking shoulder to shoulder, came face to face with a flock of ducks. However, the flock clearly didn’t draw much of their attention.
After all, who would believe that more than ten students had all turned into ducks and successfully formed a team?
It clearly made no sense!
Then, to help them improve, Gao Neng had no choice but to act, teaching them a small lesson. Amidst the two female students’ screams, he secured another two kills.
...
「Another hour passed.」
Gao Neng reaped another two female high school students.
At this point, he had already eliminated 9 people in this battlefield exercise!
Among them, a total of 7 were female students.
Flower Destroyer: 9/30.
Just one more, and he would get a Beginner’s Treasure Chest.
Gao Neng didn’t slack off. He could already feel that as time went on, he was encountering fewer and fewer female high school students.
It was probably related to the decrease in the total number of participants.
’I can’t rest. The female students will only become scarcer. I have to seize this early-game opportunity and take them down decisively before they can adapt to the battlefield environment!’ Gao Neng continued to search for targets.
Soon, he found another one.
This female student seemed quite strong. She had turned into a peacock and was viciously beating a rhino. If nothing unexpected happened, the Second High student who had turned into a rhino wouldn’t last another five minutes.
A smile touched the corner of Gao Neng’s mouth.
He immediately sneaked over. After all, this was a heaven-sent opportunity. Not only could he take down a female student, but he could also pick up a kill along the way. It was a profitable deal.
「Three minutes later.」
The rhino clearly couldn’t hold on any longer.
The doubled pain sensation made him understand the true meaning of a life worse than death.
Right now, he couldn’t do anything but lie on the ground. However, just then, he saw a duck with yellow feathers.
This duck descended from the sky like a Celestial God.
A kick from its webbed foot.
It landed right on the peacock’s forehead.
What followed was a scene so bloody it made his heart tremble.
The once-powerful peacock, in front of this duck, seemed to turn into a plucked chicken. It was taken down without even a chance to parry.
"Ah... You’re despicable and shameless! You ambushed me! I won’t accept this!" The female student let out an indignant cry before disappearing on the spot.
The rhino immediately forced himself to his feet.
"I’m Zhang Maomao from Second High. Excuse me, are you Senior Lv Guoyuan?" In the rhino’s eyes, only Lv Guoyuan from Second High would possibly come to his rescue.
Just as he was thinking this, he realized something was wrong.
Because, descending from the sky above his head were more ducks. One, two, three... At least close to twenty of them.
My god!
Is this a duck army?!
"BAM!"
A webbed foot kicked him in the face.
The rhino finally saw reality for what it was. This world was cruel. The other party wasn’t here to save him at all, but to steal the kill... Damn kill-stealer!
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the first stage of Flower Destroyer. You have successfully taken down 10 female opponents. Reward: one Beginner’s Treasure Chest," the mechanical voice sounded.
A treasure chest appeared before Gao Neng.
The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills became three.
If his guess was right, he should be able to break through the third human limit with just one more.
Gao Neng’s mood was excellent.
But...
「Meanwhile, at the military training base.」
The Girls’ High School’s principal, Xue Jingjing, finally couldn’t hold it in any longer.
"That’s eight! Gao Neng has killed eight of my girls’ school students all by himself! Li Qingping... You dare say this is a coincidence? You dare say you didn’t arrange this?! If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, I, Xue Jingjing, will fight you to the death!" Xue Jingjing flew at him, claws out, ready to fight the smugly grinning Li Qingping.
"That’s right, you have to fight him to the death!" The principal of Fourth High also spoke up at this moment. "Anyway, I don’t have a chance at becoming the chairperson of this inspection committee anymore."
"Heh heh... Principal Xue, I support you." The principal of Second High, who had been silent until now, also started laughing. With things having reached this point, the outcome was basically set in stone.
Gao Neng’s kill count was now 11.
Ranking first.
Meanwhile, He Haifan, who was ranked second, only had 5.
As for the other two hopeful competitors, Lv Guoyuan and Mao Shan, they had even fewer.
Lv Guoyuan had 3.
Mao Shan had a mere 2.
Most importantly, this gap seemed to be widening. Gao Neng’s luck was so good it was almost unbelievable; he ran into people wherever he went.
And they were all, without exception, weak female high school students.
When he finally encountered a stronger female student, it just so happened to be at a critical moment when she wasn’t paying attention. The result went without saying.
Not only was the female student taken down, but he also picked up a kill on a Second High student in the process.
If they hadn’t seen it all happen on the screen with their own eyes...
They would have really suspected that this kid was carrying an electronic map marked with the locations of every kill!
"Principal Xue, you’re wrongly accusing an innocent person! How would Gao Neng know who his opponents are? It’s just a coincidence!" Li Qingping said with a laugh. Then, he glanced at the principal of First High, He Lin. "Principal He, why don’t you be the judge here? This business with Gao Neng taking out the girls’ school students, is it a coincidence or not?"
"Hmph... A coincidence!" Principal He Lin from First High gritted his teeth.
"See? Even Principal He says it’s a coincidence. Principal Xue, don’t be so arbitrary. Let’s keep watching... Who knows, maybe Gao Neng will exclusively kill First High students next. Right, Principal He?"
"Hmph!" He Lin snorted coldly, turned his head away, and said no more.
’Talk about the hunter getting pecked by the goose.’ For years, only Second High had ever been able to challenge First High’s authority. But now, the one truly putting the pressure on him was Third High.
...
Gao Neng had no idea what was happening at the military base.
He only knew that the sky in the Virtual Battlefield had darkened. A layer of gray mist had even settled over the dense jungle, obstructing his vision.
And at the same time...
He heard the first system prompt.
"Head east continuously, or you will encounter a storm!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
’East? Which way is east?’ Gao Neng looked up at the trees obscuring the moonlight, then at the ever-thickening fog around him. For a moment, he was a bit lost.
Can Spiritual Power tell north from south, east from west?
