8: Chapter 8: Resources Can Also Get Critical Hit

As Teacher Qin Bing finished speaking, the girls in the vehicle looked at each other, but few moved.

"Go down just like this, completely naked?"

Although they had been excited for a while because of Fang Che's talent, once they calmed down, their sense of shame regained the upper hand.

Teacher Qin Bing noticed their hesitation and frowned.

"Is this the time to worry about such things?"

"The sooner we find clothes, the sooner we'll be safe!"

She looked at Fang Che and Jiang Ning.

"You two have the highest stats in the team right now."

"Fang Che, you lead one group. Jiang Ning, you lead the other."

"Search the shops along both sides of the street separately. Prioritize finding clothes, food, and water!"

Teacher Qin Bing's arrangement was very reasonable, and no one raised any objections.

Soon, the thirty-plus naked girls split into two groups.

The strongest members, Fang Che and Jiang Ning, naturally became the backbone, and the girls all gravitated toward them.

"I'm with Fang Che!"

"I'm with Fang Che too, he has good luck!"

"Ningning, we're with you!"

Chen Keke and Xu Zhaozhao stood on either side of Jiang Ning, choosing her decisively.

Fang Che glanced behind him. A crowd of over a dozen people followed him—a sea of vibrant women, with various figures on full display, including Su Qingxue and Mu Waner.

He withdrew his gaze and looked ahead down the street.

"Let's go. The target is still that Convenience Store."

It was the only place they had confirmed to be relatively safe; starting there was the most prudent choice.

The group marched imposingly toward the Convenience Store.

After walking just a few steps, the girls in front suddenly slowed down, gathered together, and pointed at the ground, followed by muffled, suppressed giggles.

"Pfft……"

"Look, what is this?"

"Wow, the battle must have been intense."

"This…… isn't this a bit too much?"

Fang Che followed their gaze and his scalp went numb.

On the concrete ground at the entrance of the Convenience Store, where he and Jiang Ning had fought intensely earlier, there were still pools of half-dried, dust-mixed white stains.

Against the surrounding gray tones, those marks were exceptionally eye-catching.

Jiang Ning, following behind, naturally saw them too.

Her face flushed instantly, turning red from her neck to her earlobes.

It was over.

She had been so busy being angry and embarrassed that she had completely forgotten to clean up the scene.

Now, this was a massive, public social death, executed for a second time.

"Ningning, you're something else."

Chen Keke leaned in and teased her in a whisper.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder you got so many points; the amount contributed is truly substantial."

Xu Zhaozhao also winked and made faces.

"Exactly. Look at this, Fang Che must have put in a lot of effort."

"Both of you, shut up!"

Jiang Ning gritted her teeth, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and glared at Fang Che with eyes full of fury.

This bastard!

He was walking in front, he must have seen it a long time ago!

He didn't even give a warning, nor did he clean it up beforehand!

Fang Che felt that scorching gaze on his back and felt speechless.

Damn, these women, they really love to stir up trouble.

Jiang Ning was in a fragile state right now, thin-skinned; if they kept teasing her, she might snap right then and there.

He needed to find a way to divert their attention.

He ignored the heckling and the marks on the ground, and met the dozen or so varied gazes as he calmly stepped into the Convenience Store.

His bare back tightened, revealing smooth muscle lines in the dim light, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

This composure actually made the whispering girls quiet down.

His calm voice was exceptionally effective at this moment.

"What are you all standing around for?"

"Why aren't you going in to find supplies? Do you want to be dinner for the monsters?"

Reminded by him, the girls immediately remembered the task at hand, reined in their gossip, and followed him into the Convenience Store.

"Wow! There's still so much food!"

"Look, there are biscuits here!"

"Water! I found water!"

Inside the Convenience Store, most of the shelves had toppled over, but there were still plenty of intact items scattered on the floor or stuck in the gaps of the shelves.

A group of girls who had been hungry for a day saw the well-packaged food and water, their eyes filled with longing, and swarmed forward, causing the scene to become somewhat chaotic.

Fang Che did not join the scramble.

He walked over to a shelf that was still relatively intact and scanned it.

On the bottom shelf, a bottle of mineral water was wedged at an angle, its packaging still sealed.

He bent down, reached out, and picked up the bottle of water.

This was it.

As his fingertips touched the bottle, a prompt only he could see popped up before his eyes.

[——Triggering Critical Hit check——]

It's here!

Fang Che's heart skipped a beat.

He wondered if this thing would have an effect on supplies.

[Critical Hit multiplier: ×30]

Thirty times!

Before Fang Che could react, his arms suddenly sank!

Clatter!

Twenty-nine bottles of mineral water appeared out of thin air, totaling thirty bottles with the one in his hand. They instantly filled his arms, and a few even fell to the ground because he couldn't hold them all, making a thumping sound.

"Holy crap!"

Fang Che stumbled from the sudden weight, nearly losing his balance.

He held the huge pile of water, completely stunned.

This talent…… is it really this ridiculous?!

Even picking up an item can trigger a Critical Hit?

The commotion here immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The girls who were scrambling for snacks stopped, turned their heads to look at him, their faces full of confusion.

"Fang Che, what are you doing?"

"Where did you conjure up so much water from?"

Lin Xinyi was the closest; she looked at the pile of identical mineral water bottles in Fang Che's arms, her eyes wide.

"That's not right, I looked there just now, there was clearly only one bottle of water!"

Everyone fell silent.

Dozens of gazes were fixed directly on Fang Che and the water in his arms.

The opportunity had arrived!

Fang Che immediately understood that this was the best time to divert everyone's attention.

He cleared his throat and intentionally raised his voice a little to ensure everyone could hear.

"My talent, it seems, is not only effective for stat bonuses."

He shook the pile of mineral water in his arms, showing a perfectly measured expression of surprise.

"Just now, I picked up one bottle of water, and then…… it turned into thirty bottles."

One second.

Two seconds.

The Convenience Store fell into an eerie silence.

All the girls were stunned, mouths agape, expressions blank, clearly unable to process what had happened.

The next second, screams filled the entire Convenience Store!

"What?!"

"Turned into thirty bottles?! You call that 'seems effective'?"

"Are you kidding me! Picking up an item can also trigger a Critical Hit?"

"My god! Isn't this just a real-life version of glitching the game?"

"Thirty times! Picking up one bottle turns into thirty, so if we find a can of food……"

The girls went crazy.

This news was even more shocking to them than when Fang Che and Jiang Ning had gained ten points in all stats earlier!

Stat bonuses were still ethereal numbers.

But these twenty-nine extra bottles of water that appeared out of thin air were real!

They were life-saving supplies!

Su Qingxue pushed up her non-existent glasses and stepped forward quickly. She took a bottle of water from Fang Che's arms, picked up another bottle from the floor, and compared them carefully.

The production date, packaging, and barcode were identical.

"It's real……"

She muttered to herself, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Fang Che changed completely.

It was the look one would give to a priceless treasure.

Teacher Qin Bing also walked over quickly; her chest heaved violently from excitement, but her voice remained calm.

"Fang Che, say it again, your talent can trigger a Critical Hit when you acquire supplies?"

"From what I can see, yes."

Fang Che nodded.

"Is the Critical Hit multiplier fixed?"

Teacher Qin Bing pressed on.

"Not fixed, it's random."

Teacher Qin Bing's breathing became a bit more rapid.

She scanned the room, her voice carrying decisiveness.

"Everyone, listen up!"

"From now on, all uncollected supplies we find, especially key resources like food, water, medicine, and equipment, must all be gathered together!"

"No one is allowed to pick them up privately!"

"Finally, Fang Che will be the one to collect them all!"

Once this order was given, no one objected.

Everyone looked at Fang Che with an incredibly fervent gaze.

If Fang Che had previously been just a combat unit with extremely high stats.

Then now, he was the key to bringing in massive amounts of supplies!

He was the strategic core who could instantly double the team's supplies!

His value had become immeasurable!

"Understood!"

"Received!"

The girls responded in unison, their enthusiasm soaring.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat chaotic due to the scrambling, instantly became orderly, and everyone began a carpet-style search with great enthusiasm.
