Chapter 165 - My Unreliable Teammates

Zhang Che was obviously not sincere enough in his prayers. All the gods up above ignored him.

After the random distribution, the examinees assembled in their assigned teams in the plaza. Zhang Che immediately met the four teammates he was grouped up with.

Mmm, that was right. There were four teammates, not one less, and not him in a group of his own!

-The hell, do I really have to babysit them…- Zhang Che groaned inside. He could only accept the reality of this.

It was likely that the only group without a full team of five would be placed with one of the Tier Four beastmaster candidates. Not only that, their beast cards’ quality was sure to be even higher than Zhang Che’s.

-Forget it. I’ll babysit if I have to. With that, there’ll surely be someone in the team with a scouting-type beast. Even though I didn’t choose to bring the Purple Jade Condor, there shouldn’t be much of a difference.-

The five teenagers stood together, exchanging looks with one another. They only greeted with their gazes and considered that a hello.

Here wasn’t the place to exchange information with each other about their own subdued beasts. They still had half the day to themselves; it was more than enough for them to get to know one another better.

Since the examination rules were already announced, and the examinees were assigned their groups, naturally there was no need for anyone to remain in the plaza. The organizers immediately disbanded the assembly.

The following half a day would be free time for everyone. The examinees only need to make sure to remain in Jin City and that they could be contacted by the organizers at any time.

Since the examinees were adjourned, the accompanying teachers were naturally done with their missions, and could take it easy in the most prosperous city in the entire Hua Xia region.

The problem of the examinees’ food and lodging would be arranged for by the organizers. If there were any personal effects left behind in the hotel they were staying at, the organizers would deliver them to their new lodgings.

-How much manpower and resources did all this take to ensure there wouldn’t be any problems in this examination? As expected, the organization’s power is massive.- Zhang Che couldn’t help but lament deeply.

There were over ten thousand examinees in Jin City alone, and at least another two hundred thousands from the Hua Xia region in Bei Du City and the surrounding satellite cities.

Let alone others, just the manpower involved was no trifle matter!

Of course, none of this was something Zhang Che needed concern himself with.

—————-

After standing around in the Jin City Central Plaza for half a day, Zhang Che was feeling famished, adding on to the fact that he only had a little to eat for breakfast.

Zhang Che suddenly realized an extremely severe problem. -This can’t go on forever. In the future, I’ll have to spend lots of time just to get food. It truly is too troublesome.-

The corpses of exotic beasts slain by subdued beasts in the beast world vanished. What would he eat then?

At that time, he definitely couldn’t reveal the frisky monkey. Let alone that it was against the rules, how would he explain the matter of exotic beasts leaving a corpse behind after his “subdued beast” slew them?

He could only rely on the food he brought in.

However, even if the organizers allowed it, he couldn’t bring much food in, either. He’d surely starve if he didn’t think of a solution. Although he wouldn’t starve to death per se, it would feel freaking terrible. Really, really terrible!

It seemed like he could only wait until the group was going to rest for the night, and he’d hide somewhere sneakily and get some food to eat.

Luckily he had foreseen this previously, and stashed thousands of kilograms of cooked meat away in the Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket. Otherwise, he’d really be in a pinch.

Once they were dismissed, one of the examinees who was assigned to the same group as Zhang Che came up and tried to strike up a conversation. He was probably thinking of introducing himself, or perhaps for some other reason. “Hey there…”

However, Zhang Che directly cut him off and said, “Let’s not bother with introducing ourselves for now. I still have some matters to attend to. We’ll meet up later tonight. There’s plenty of time to get acquainted then.”

After he said that, Zhang Che directly turned around and walked away with long strides, leaving the four youngsters standing there, confused.

-Where did this guy come from? Isn’t he being a little too ridiculous?-

Although there was indeed plenty of time for them to mingle together tonight, everyone would enter the beast world tomorrow and be fighting side by side then. Wouldn’t it be better to understand each other’s character or something?

The four youngsters all hailed from different cities in Hua Xia region. None of them knew how strong Zhang Che was, nor did they know their other teammates’ strength. Thus, when they saw such an uncooperative guy, they immediately felt despondent for their upcoming test.

If they didn’t unite as one, how could they possibly hope to compete against the other teams?!

“From which city did that guy come from? That’s so uncooperative of him; is he going to give up on the test?” a delicate-looking man asked, narrowing his eyes and harboring some other underlying intentions.

“Isn’t that right? That guy should’ve given up long ago if that’s what he intended. Isn’t he purely dragging us down by delaying until now? What a freaking guy!”

“Forget it. Let’s ignore him. We’d better find a place and get to know each other, and make preparations for the upcoming exotic beast hunting competition.”

The few of them chipped in here and there, criticizing Zhang Che. After that, they left together on the same note.

——

Alas, Zhang Che truly didn’t have to time to pay heed to them. He felt that if he didn’t go eat immediately and continued starving this way, he might want to eat whatever meat that was in front of him…

At that time, it would truly be horrifying. Just imagine the news reporting this: A certain examinee was suspected of becoming mentally unsound due to pressure, and he was so inhumane that he actually ate his teammate…

Tsk, tsk. Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

Zhang Che didn’t go buy food; he didn’t have the time to take it slow. He directly found somewhere secluded and had the Rock Tortoise cough up two large pieces of exotic beast meat, and he wolfed them down in an animated manner.

The two pieces of exotic beast meat weighed over fifty kilograms in total. Zhang Che finally felt a sense of satisfaction from his stomach, and was immediately contented.

After that, of course he wasn’t interested in going to find his four teammates. They were going to need him to babysit them, any way. He didn’t need to foster good relations with them.

After they entered the beast world, those youngsters would naturally know how they should act.

Considering that the organizers might preside over how much food each person could bring into the beast world, Zhang Che rolled his eyes about and opened up his personal terminal. He found a shop nearby that sold compressed biscuits and bought a pile of them.

It happened that the Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket still had close to two cubic meters of free space. Thus, Zhang Che thought of bringing more dry rations to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances..

After all, it was very easy to get tired of eating meat all the time. Although Zhang Che’s digestive system no longer needed different kinds of food to regulate his nutrients, it would be pretty good to switch things up for a change, even if compressed biscuits were a little bland and tough to swallow.

After purchasing the compressed biscuits, Zhang Che continued searching around on his personal terminal.

This time, he searched for a weapons shop that specialized in archery!
