Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1280: Chapter 20 This Sacred Land is Almost Named Wang! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2 Chapter 1280: Chapter 20 This Sacred Land is Almost Named Wang! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2 Fairness demanded that the initial situation each candidate faced was exactly the same as Wang Ying Xuan’s. The only slight difference was the name of the “[Main City]” that had just swept through a round of taxation, and the number of the farmer stronghold was different too.

Wang Shouzhe observed for a while and felt that this most likely meant everyone was playing a “[single player game]” or that they were not on the same “[map],” and they would need to level up before possibly encountering one another.

The reason Wang Shouzhe observed so carefully and earnestly learned and remembered every detail was simple.

The Divine Martial Officer Training Academy had not yet been found, but its study assessments might be similar in mode to these trial pods. If he could get the hang of this aspect ahead of time, he could perhaps gain an advantage when “enrolling” in the future. And if he had the chance to break some academy records, world records or such, wouldn’t that be a major score?

Since each candidate had a different personality, naturally, their choices in the same situation would also vary.

After all, the farmer stronghold’s food supply could last another two to four months; there was plenty of room and flexibility for different approaches.

Among the many candidates, some chose to stay in the farmer stronghold, plant crops methodically, build houses, and enhance defensive facilities. Others took their small squads out to cautiously explore and search for useful resources.

Everyone did their best to try to quickly resolve the first wave of the food crisis.

However, as the saying goes, “When the forest is big, all kinds of birds will be found.”

For example, Wang Licui…

When the big screen switched to her scene, people were shocked to find she had done nothing. No, to be precise, she did do one thing!

She was busily chowing down on food…

At this moment, within Farmer Stronghold no. 8305.

Everyone had participated in cooking food, and pot after pot of coarse grains was cooked, “huffing and puffing” as it was brought before Licui.

Wang Licui was eating unreservedly, moving from one pot to the next, continuously eating, eating, and eating.

The peasants of the stronghold all looked on woodenly at her.

The Elder of the stronghold, acting as the novice mission guide, was even more desperate, beating his chest and stamping his feet, looking up to the heavens with a long sigh, “Oh, heavens~ Oh, earth~ Why is the fate of our 8305 Agricultural Village so miserable, how did we end up with such a heavenly blessed one?”

Thirty units of food was enough for thirty people to eat for a year!

Yet, this heavenly blessed one managed to single-handedly consume so much in one meal… Was she the reincarnation of a Demonic King?

This scene also shocked the observers.

What kind of operation was this?

The stronghold was already short on food, and here you come, gobbling up everything without any care in the world – what, did you not eat enough before entering the trial?

“Licui sister, you truly are my idol!” Lan Wanyi, sitting in the back row of the observer seats, did not seem surprised in the least but looked on with eyes shimmering with admiration, unwavering in her blind worship of Wang Licui, “Even though her strength was diminished upon entering the trial, she can still eat so much!”

They all had the devouring type of Talent, and her, Lan Wanyi, was much weaker by comparison.

“Is that really worthy of admiration?” Jiang Xingyuan, sitting beside her, gave her a glance and sweated profusely, “She has a world’s best Talent and had a chance to win this round of the saintess competition. But she started off so recklessly; isn’t that cutting herself off from the rest of the world?”

The mutated Little Green Snake temporarily coiled on Lan Wanyi’s shoulder was also reminded of some unpleasant memories. Their Azure Dragon clan was almost eaten to extinction by such behavior!

The Enlightened Ones in the front row were also taken aback by Wang Licui’s actions, each of them as surprised as they were baffled.

“Oh, Yunyang~” Enlightened One of the Fire Element looked at Yunyang’s Enlightened One, saying with a face full of “regret,” “Is your disciple a fool? She ate all the food, and now the stronghold is doomed to fail, definitely getting a score of zero at the end. Such a waste of her world’s best Talent!”

Yunyang’s Enlightened One could not stand others belittling Wang Licui and snorted coldly, retorting sharply, “How much better is your Zhen Shicong? He led a hundred or so people out to hunt from the very start, boasting about his skill in troop deployment and terrain use, but ended up losing thirty people on the first outing!”

“He at least made a small sacrifice to capture two Fierce Beasts that together weighed nearly ten thousand pounds, greatly enhancing the physical abilities of the villagers. With that initial experience, subsequent hunts will likely see fewer casualties. Compared to others, his development speed is definitely the fastest; it’s the optimal choice,” said Enlightened One of the Fire Element, “Yunyang, if you disagree, we can make a side bet.”

“Let’s bet! A separate bet on Wang Licui and Zhen Shicong’s Points outcome!” Yunyang’s Enlightened One was clearly full of confidence in his disciple, “Twenty Immortal Crystals on the line.”

“It’s a deal!”

Enlightened One of the Fire Element’s eyes lit up. Although Zhen Shicong had almost no chance of taking the Saint title, winning some money to offset losses was not a bad option.

Wang Shouzhe was listening on the side without a word; he had also seen Zhen Shicong’s maneuvers. Although the kid seemed unreliable, his basic skills were actually quite solid. He was truly excellent in command and micromanagement and made good use of the natural terrain.

If not for the villagers’ inadequate training, lack of experience, and panic in the face of adversity, there would have been no need for thirty casualties. Zhen Shicong, having learned from the experience, was bound to improve, and his future prospects should not be underestimated.
