I Can Control Resources - Chapter 85: Combat on the Lake
’What’s going on?’
Gao Neng was startled. The students from First High and Fourth High, who had been locked in a fierce battle, were now rushing toward him. Not only that, but even Li Caicai and the others, who had swum nearly a hundred meters out, were swimming back to shore.
’I’m surrounded!’
"Gao Neng, you dare bully the students from the Girls’ High? Watch how I, He Haifan, take care of you!" He Haifan shouted righteously as he ran.
"That’s right! We at Fourth High won’t let you off either!" Mao Shan immediately chimed in.
"What? Gao Neng was the one who eliminated Axiang?" The girls swimming back were in disbelief when they heard He Haifan and the others.
’Have I been exposed?’ Gao Neng’s mind raced. He had expected to be found out eventually, so it wasn’t a huge surprise.
What he hadn’t expected, however, was that First High and Fourth High would abandon their brawl to team up against him alone. They were even trying to rope in the Girls’ High.
’If all three schools really join forces, this could be a bit troublesome.’
’What should I do in a situation like this?’
Gao Neng was perfectly calm.
He didn’t shout, "I’m not Gao Neng!"
He wasn’t that naive. He simply glanced quietly at He Haifan and the others, then bellowed, "The glow of a firefly dares not compete with the splendor of the sun and moon! Today, I, Chen Bai, will show you the strength required of an Alliance soldier!"
"What?! Lieutenant Chen Bai!" A student at the very front, only five meters from Gao Neng, immediately skidded to a halt, his face filled with terror.
"Don’t listen to his nonsense! He’s Gao Neng!" Seeing the student stop, He Haifan shouted anxiously. ’Only a damn idiot would fall for that, right?’
"An impersonator?" The other students were startled.
But just then, Gao Neng made his move.
BAM!
A dull thud echoed.
Almost as soon as He Haifan’s voice faded, the student who had stopped was smacked by a duck wing.
And then...
He went flying.
"So fast! He’s running the 100-meter dash in five seconds, at least!"
"His explosive power is ridiculous, definitely over 1,000 points!"
"Look... Ah Ga’s mouth got knocked crooked!"
The students were horrified.
But Gao Neng wasn’t flustered at all. In fact, after his successful strike, he even paused. "Sigh... So weak! Your target is that small island, not me, Chen Bai. Understand? Now, scram!"
"Ah... Run!"
"Lieutenant Chen, we were wrong!"
"He’s not Lieutenant Chen! He’s really Gao Neng! Don’t run! If we all attack together, we can take him down! It’s our only chance to become the top scorer in the exam!" He Haifan’s eyes were bloodshot.
"Top scorer? That’s your business. I just want to get into the Military University!"
"Right, right! If we really offend Lieutenant Chen, we’ll be in deep trouble. Better safe than sorry. Let’s get out of here!"
"Lieutenant Chen isn’t really trying to take us out. Let’s run!"
The students weren’t idiots. The only ones with a real shot at being the top scorer were He Haifan and his group. The finish line was so close; why would they fight someone who might be Chen Bai here?
Only an idiot would do that!
"He Haifan, don’t worry! I, Mao Shan, believe you and support you! You go first, I’ll cover your back!" Mao Shan didn’t retreat, instead shouting loudly.
"..." He Haifan was speechless.
’Fuck your mom!’
’I’d have to be a fucking idiot to go first!’
He wasn’t going.
Naturally, Mao Shan wasn’t going either.
The two of them were at a stalemate.
Meanwhile, Gao Neng didn’t spare them another glance. He charged straight for the lake and, with a SPLASH, dove right in.
Soon...
Screams erupted from the lake.
"Ah! Lieutenant Chen, no! Please let me go... I’m just a student... I’m begging you, don’t come over... Ah, GLUG GLUG GLUG..."
"Run! Lieutenant Chen is killing people!"
"Swim to the island! This must be part of the Military Department’s test!"
"But I’m not a good swimmer... I can barely swim... Help!"
The students from the Girls’ High panicked, and the scene descended into chaos.
Naturally, Gao Neng showed no more mercy.
He was an excellent swimmer. He’d grab a girl, drag her into the water, and then finish her off with a flurry of punches and kicks. It was remarkably efficient.
In no time at all, two girls had been victimized.
On the shore, He Haifan and Mao Shan were dumbfounded.
’You can do that?!’
’If we’d known, we would have impersonated Chen Bai too! If you just have his name over your head on this battlefield, you’d be a nightmare for the other students, wouldn’t you?’
"Quick! While Lieutenant Chen is busy with the girls, let’s swim for it!" one clever student immediately decided, and leaped into the lake.
The other students still on the shore quickly caught on.
Right now, "Chen Bai’s" targets were the girls. For them, this was the perfect opportunity to rush to the island.
SPLASH!
SPLASH!
...
One by one, the students started diving in.
He Haifan and Mao Shan exchanged another look, then immediately followed suit.
As for the students from the Girls’ High...
No one paid them any mind.
It’s not like they could actually die, they’d just be eliminated. At a time like this, their test scores were what mattered most!
...
「Military Training Base.」
"Elder Li!!!" Xue Jingjing’s face turned a shade of reddish-purple as she watched Gao Neng drag her students underwater one by one on the screen.
"Old Lady Xue, are you starting this again?!" Li Qingping’s expression changed. He still had bite marks on him from last time; he did not want a repeat performance.
"Jingjing, honestly, for Gao Neng to be targeting the Girls’ High students like this... I wouldn’t believe it if you told me there wasn’t some inside story!" the principal of Fourth High immediately fanned the flames.
"Elder Li, those are my best students! I, Xue Jingjing, may not be able to kill Gao Neng, but I can definitely kill you! I’ll fight you to the death!"
"Holy shit! Old Lady Xue, don’t go too far... Don’t bite! If you bite again... I... I, I, I... I’m getting desperate! I’ll drop my pants!"
"You shameless old pervert! Go on, drop them! I dare you!"
"I... I’ll do it!"
"..."
...
「In the lake of the Virtual Battlefield.」
Gao Neng had no idea what was happening back at the military base.
He only knew that right now, he was a wolf let loose in a flock of sheep. All the sheep were trying to flee, but the more they panicked, the slower they swam.
Gao Neng took out three in one go.
"Lieutenant Chen... no!" The fourth girl was caught by Gao Neng. She struggled with all her might to swim toward the island, but she couldn’t move at all.
"GLUG GLUG GLUG..."
"..."
Soon, the fourth girl from the Girls’ High was eliminated.
Without hesitation, Gao Neng swam toward the fifth girl.
’It’s so tiring being a man!’
’I was once an upright, kind, and innocent young man. But alas, I have this idiotic system. To protect humanity, to become stronger, I have no choice but to be ruthless.’
As the fifth girl fell into Gao Neng’s clutches, Li Caicai finally made it to the small island, dripping wet.
"Too bad, one got away..." Gao Neng felt a bit helpless. That Li Caicai was just too fast. However, none of the other girls had escaped.
The Girls’ High Self-Defense Squad.
At this point, only Li Caicai survived.
All the others had been eliminated.
’Just four more eliminations, and I’ll get a spin on the lucky prize wheel!’
While thinking this, Gao Neng grabbed the head of the girl in his hands and pushed it underwater. The girl struggled desperately, again and again...
"GLUG GLUG GLUG..."
Ruthless Ravager: 26/30
"I’m sorry, I was forced into this. Reality is cruel, and everyone has to grow up!" Gao Neng figured that since this Girls’ High Self-Defense Squad had made it this far, they must have some "blood on their hands" already. Passing the practical combat exam shouldn’t be a problem for them, right?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a powerful force grip his ankle and begin dragging him furiously down into the water.
"GLUG GLUG GLUG!"
Gao Neng choked on a few mouthfuls of lake water.
’This sucks!’
’Who dares to ambush me?!’
