50: Chapter 50 Others come to compete, we come for a picnic.

"Ugh... isn't this realism a bit too high?"

"Ghost Eye" Li Gui, who was in charge of reconnaissance, had half his leg sunk into it.

The nauseating stench lingering at the tip of his nose made life worse than death for someone with a clean-freak nature like him: "They even simulated this slimy texture? I really need to report the development team for being psychopaths!"

The Healer, Han Mu, beside him was in an even worse state, holding his staff up to maintain the [Purification Halo], exhausted like a dead dog: "Stop complaining... save your energy, my mana is dropping faster than the stock market..."

Even the thick-skinned Xiang Lie had to be constantly vigilant against poisonous insects that might spring up from under his feet, walking cautiously with every step.

However, when they subconsciously looked up at the sky above them.

Everyone's mouth couldn't help but twitch violently, seeing that twenty meters above the ground.

Lin Yuan wasn't just floating as everyone had imagined; he felt that hovering constantly was too tiring and required maintaining body balance, which wasn't comfortable enough.

Thus, this captain, who possessed Third-Rank Spiritual Telekinesis, did something that made the entire audience drop their jaws.

Clatter—

Several huge pieces of black volcanic rock were forcibly pulled up from the depths of the mud pit by telekinesis and suspended in the air.

Immediately after, his invisible spiritual power danced like a carving knife, smoothing and joining these rocks in the blink of an eye.

In less than a minute, a "stone throne" had taken shape in mid-air.

That wasn't enough.

Lin Yuan then moved his mind, skinning the few Level 2 "Swamp Crocodiles" he had just killed and spreading them over the cold, hard stone seat, even thoughtfully adding a backrest.

Then he lay down comfortably on his side, crossing his legs.

He even utilized the virtual system's "taste simulation function" to redeem a bag of potato chips and a bottle of Happy Water from his storage space (the virtual backpack that came with the system).

"Hmm, the potato chips in this virtual world are barbecue flavored, nice."

The external livestream room.

The originally tense and intense comment section experienced a three-second vacuum at this moment.

Then, it completely exploded!

"What the f*ck?! What is he doing?!"

"Others are in a life-or-death battle royale, and he's vacationing in mid-air? And he's eating?!"

"Referee! Isn't this a foul? This is cheating!"

"Is this the world of the strong? I admit I'm jealous; I want to sit on that sofa too!"

At the commentary desk, the gold-medal host opened his mouth wide, struggling for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Uh... it seems our contestant Lin Yuan has a very good mindset, very... relaxed."

Back to the battlefield.

"Captain Lin... um..."

Xiang Lie on the ground couldn't help but shout: "Shouldn't we be... slightly more serious? After all, this is a full federal broadcast."

"I am being very serious."

Lin Yuan casually tossed the empty cola bottle (which disappeared into a data stream), brushed the crumbs off his hands, and his eyes instantly became sharp:

"Fed and watered, time to get to work."

He leaned forward slightly, and his immense spiritual power, like radar waves, instantly covered the two-kilometer radius of the swamp area.

Under this god's-eye view, no disguise could escape his notice.

"Listen to my commands."

"Su Xiaoxiao, two o'clock direction, 300 meters, there are three campers squatting behind that pile of withered grass. They should be a team from some unknown small academy, preparing to ambush us."

"Got it!"

Su Xiaoxiao shouldered her "Thunderfire Heavy Cannon" and fired a high-explosive shell at the coordinates Lin Yuan reported.

Boom!!!

The seemingly calm patch of withered grass in the distance exploded instantly.

Without even a scream, three beams of white light rose directly—that was the sign of being forcibly logged off after being judged dead.

[Students Killed: 3! Points Plundered: 150!]

"That accurate?!" Ghost Eye was startled.

"It's not over yet."

"Xiang Lie, ten o'clock direction, behind that largest crooked tree, there is an elite monster 'Rot-Poison Lizard' (Level 2 Peak) hiding. Its weak point is the white spot on its abdomen. Go, blow it up."

"Roar!"

Xiang Lie didn't even think; he immediately activated [Rock Bodyguard] and charged over like a tank.

Bang!

[Elite Monster Killed! Points + 100!]

"Ghost Eye, Healer, don't zone out."

Lin Yuan continued to call out names, "You two, walk fifty meters to the right. There is a hidden supply crate there containing antidotes and ammunition."

"Copy that! On it!"

Over the next twenty minutes, Modu Martial Arts University's points skyrocketed like they were on a rocket.

Group A Leaderboard: NO.1 Modu Martial Arts University — Points: 2850

NO.2 Northwest Military Academy — Points: 1200

NO.3 Holy Light Academy — Points: 800

"Looks like someone can't stand us farming points so fast and wants to come deliver a package."

Lin Yuan looked into the depths of the mist ahead.

There, a team wearing colorful clothing was rapidly approaching.

[Southern Border Gu Arts Academy (Group A Strong Team)]

This team came from the southern border of the federation and was best at driving poisonous insects and miasma.

For them, the swamp terrain was practically a home field within a home field.

"From Modu Martial Arts University?"

The leading Southern Border captain was a sinister-looking youth, playing with a colorful poisonous spider in his hand:

"Flying in the sky is amazing, huh? Being so arrogant, aren't you afraid of falling to your death!"

They had originally been ambushed here, preparing to sneak attack a passing team.

As a result, Lin Yuan flew too high and reported their position directly to Su Xiaoxiao, forcing them to expose themselves early.

"Hand over your points, or... be eaten by my babies."

Whistle—!!

As the whistle sounded, dense black shadows suddenly surged out of the surrounding swamp.

Those were countless "Black-Winged Poison Bees" the size of fists!

The sound of their wings beating gathered together, as piercing as thunder.

Thousands of poisonous bees gathered into a huge black cloud, blocking the sky and sun, diving straight at Lin Yuan in mid-air!

Xiang Lie on the ground looked at the cloud, his expression changing: "Old Lin! Get down! Those are Gu insects! There are too many of them!"

This kind of poison bee doesn't have strong individual attacks, but they excel in terrifying numbers, and their tail stingers carry neurotoxins.

Once surrounded, even a Third-Rank martial artist would be instantly stung into a hornet's nest!

"Sting him down for me!!" the Southern Border captain sneered.

Facing this overwhelming insect swarm.

Lin Yuan was still half-lying on the stone throne, not even intending to sit up.

"Noisy."

Lin Yuan gently raised his right hand and snapped his fingers in the void.

Snap.

[chaos grinding mill · Spiritual Storm!]

Boom—!!!

With Lin Yuan as the center, a visible transparent ripple, like a nuclear blast wave, instantly spread in all directions!

Those menacingly attacking poison bees, the moment they touched the spiritual ripple, were as if they had been pressed on a pause button.

Their tiny brain nerves were directly shattered.

The wings that were originally vibrating stopped instantly.

Clatter—

Thousands of poison bees lost their vitality, falling from the sky with a pattering sound, piling up into a thick layer of corpses.

In just one second.

The sky full of black clouds vanished into thin air.

Only Lin Yuan remained, sitting cleanly on the throne, not even a single strand of hair out of place.

"This... how is this possible?!"

The Southern Border captain's smile froze on his face. That was his carefully cultivated swarm! Just like that, it was gone? Gone with a snap of his fingers?!

"Too many bugs, a bit noisy."

Lin Yuan picked his ear and waved at Su Xiaoxiao below:

"Xiaoxiao, show them out."

"Got it!"

Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—!!!

"I'm not reconciled..."

"We are the pride of the Southern Border..."

Accompanied by a few screams, five beams of white light shot into the sky.

[Defeated Southern Border Gu Arts Academy! Points Plundered: 800!]

The battle ended faster than it began.

Lin Yuan glanced at the leaderboard; Modu Martial Arts University's points were already far in the lead, leaving the second place behind by a full margin.

"Remember to bring insecticide next time you go out."

Lin Yuan muttered to the air, then picked up another bag of virtual potato chips and tore open the packaging:

"Let's go, to the next point. I heard there's a snow mountain ahead? Perfect, let's go skiing."

On the ground, the four teammates looked at each other, seeing deep sympathy in each other's eyes.

Sympathy for those opponents who hadn't met them yet.

Where is this a competition?

This is clearly Lin Yuan bringing four accessories along to come to this Asura battlefield... for an outing!
