Chapter 83: Score Control Is Difficult
Chapter 83: Score Control Is Difficult
As Leng Hao's voice fell, the scene immediately fell into silence.
A drop of sweat appeared on Jiang Tian's forehead.
He looked at Leng Hao with a serious expression. "13 points? Classmate, this is not a joke."
"You can see it for yourself." Leng Hao was straightforward. He took out his tactical mobile phone and showed it to Jiang Tian.
Joke?
Are you kidding me? They worked so hard yesterday and only earned a few military merit points.
And now it turns out that the guy in front of him, the one his teammates laughed at yesterday, actually had three-digit military merit points?
Look at him—dressed neatly and cleanly. Now that we're standing so close, I can even smell his shampoo.
A collection of cologne fragrances for men.
Don't ask why—I have the same one at home.
This means that wherever he stayed yesterday, he must have used military merit points to exchange for accommodation and had a good rest.
On the other hand, we were reluctant to use our military merit points and just found a place to sleep on the ground.
Being rich and powerful—so this is what it feels like to have no worries about military merit points?
Seeing the content on Leng Hao's tactical phone, Jiang Tian's brows twitched, and he felt like his head was about to explode.
Why did the situation turn out like this?
Jiang Tian had already restrained himself. Not to mention the furnace that was his physical body, he had even held back his strength when attacking.
How could he have imagined that even after being so restrained, his results would still be this overwhelming?
The gap between his results and that of the strongest competitor in the province was enormous.
This wasn't just a small difference—it was a world of difference.
"It is not ruled out that there are top talents like you in other places, but you are already one of the top candidates in the country." The examiner in charge of registration finally spoke.
When he looked at Jiang Tian, his expression was somewhat unnatural.
Yesterday, I advised them not to risk their lives.

It turns out the two guys in front of me are real monsters.
It is incredibly difficult to earn this many military merit points on the first day.
Even if they do have the combat power, it's not easy to encounter so many alien races in such a short time.
Not to mention, if you're too focused on killing aliens, you may end up getting surrounded without realizing it.
"In fact, we were also lucky." At this moment, Xue Ruyan suddenly spoke. "I am a Qi Refiner by profession. I used my blood and Qi to control the water in the pool and dived to the bottom."
"We found a tribe. It seemed that most of the warriors were out on patrol, so we took advantage of the opportunity."
"The two of us killed the aliens in that tribe. Most of them were at the 0th level of Health Care. There were only a few warriors at the 1st level of Awakening, so they weren't worth mentioning."
Xue Ruyan's explanation made everyone suddenly realize that, if this was the case, it could be explained.
"Even so, it proves that you are quite powerful. Even if a tribe's warriors are on patrol, there would still be a considerable number of foreign warriors left behind."
"And your move was too risky. The tribes under the pond—the Fire Frogs and Fire Fish—are nomadic."
"They may live in one place today and move somewhere else tomorrow."
"It's because their so-called tribes and settlements are built using random stones from the riverbed."
"Sometimes, they use abandoned dwellings from other tribes as resting places. The randomness makes it difficult to predict."
After listening to Xue Ruyan's explanation, the examiner was also apprehensive. "Although some places may look like small tribes from the outside, when you get closer, you may find that they are large tribes."
"By then, it would be too late to run. How can we possibly outrun the Fire Frogs and Fire Fish in the water?"
As the examiner gave his instructions, his eyes shifted toward Leng Hao and the others.
His words were not only a warning to Jiang Tian and Xue Ruyan but also to Leng Hao's team.
Among their group, there were naturally mind masters who could use blood and energy to manipulate and isolate the pool water.
Luck played a big part in Xue Ruyan's actions, so he was worried that Leng Hao and the others might lack self-awareness and would get into trouble if they tried to imitate her.
Leng Hao and the others understood what the examiner meant and nodded, indicating that they knew what was right and wrong and wouldn't joke about their lives.
Afterward, their team continued toward the base.
However, many people kept glancing toward Jiang Tian and Xue Ruyan from time to time, their eyes filled with envy.

Likewise, no one looked down on them anymore.
Xue Ruyan had spoken lightly, but in reality, they had encountered a lot of danger.
However, what she said also gave Leng Hao and the others an idea.
In fact, there was no need to deliberately fight alien warriors head-on.
When encountering a large alien patrol like yesterday, it would be wiser to take it easy and leave early.
It would be even better to observe secretly, seeing if there were any warriors from the Chishui tribe on patrol. Ambushing them along their routes would be much more efficient.
In addition, the examiner also provided useful information. Since the Fire Frogs and Fire Fish have no fixed home and prefer to migrate,
they don't necessarily move only through ponds—they may also travel through rivers or other water systems.
Many rivers have clear water, allowing humans to observe alien movements.
Even attacking ordinary members of these alien tribes would earn them military merit points.
As for whether it was morally right, or whether it was too cruel to target ordinary members of a tribe, that wasn't something they considered.
In the war between races, kindness and mercy would only lead to the suffering of innocent humans.
Ordinary humans had died tragically at the hands of aliens. When the aliens attacked, they never hesitated or questioned if it was cruel.
Here, Jiang Tian and Xue Ruyan finally left the base and arrived outside.
"This is troublesome. I have too many military merit points," Jiang Tian muttered, rubbing his forehead.
Xue Ruyan, standing beside him, also nodded. "It's indeed a bit excessive. Even with your help, my military merit points are only 21."
"I thought killing such a small amount of food wouldn't be a big problem, but I didn't expect this batch of students to be so disappointing."
"If you're this restrained, how can you not end up as the number one candidate in the country?" Jiang Tian sighed, looking at Xue Ruyan. "Luckily, Xue was quick-witted and helped me come up with a good excuse."
"But what should I do next? How can I control my points? Should I just stop killing these aliens?"
"That won't do. Fire Frogs and Fire Fish are pretty good. I don't know when I'll come back next time. I was planning on stocking up on more ingredients."
Xue Ruyan thought about it but couldn't come up with a good solution for the moment.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Tian's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something.
