Never Have I Had Such a Wonderful Opening!

Never Have I Had Such a Wonderful Opening! Yuji's words got stuck in his throat, and his momentum inevitably weakened a notch.

As the saying goes, beardless youths cannot be trusted with important tasks.

Yuji was currently just a sixteen-year-old dark-skinned athletic student, not yet that Emperor Yuji who had undergone sixty-eight years of seasoning.

The words spoken from his mouth lacked any real persuasion, making it hard for anyone to believe he was capable of solving the Culling Game.

"This, um..." Yuji stammered for a long time, suddenly looking up and pointing behind him, "We're the vanguard, here to scout out the situation! The boss is right behind us!"

"Oh!"

Jie Jian nodded meaningfully.

He hadn't intended to come into conflict with Jujutsu High in the first place, so naturally, there was no need to expose Yuji's lie.

Besides, Yuji was the protagonist no matter what; if they drove him to desperation, he had better watch out for Emperor Yuji to hit him with a "mysterious farmhouse" and drag him off to hoe two acres of land in a small courtyard!

"Since you're official brothers, please come right in. We've got plenty of citizens waiting for you here."

"Alright, alright. Sorry to trouble you, big bro."

Yuji smiled and nodded on the surface, but behind the scenes, he cautiously tugged on Panda and whispered.

"Panda-senpai, is it really dangerous here? I think this guy is pretty easy to talk to, you know?"

"Indeed." Panda also stole a glance at Jie Jian, "I don't think this man looks like a bad guy either."

The encounter between Yuji and Panda was purely accidental.

Although the man and the bear hadn't landed at the same spawn point, coincidentally, those two spawn points were extremely close to each other!

Panda's nose was exceptionally sharp, and it wasn't long before he caught Yuji's scent and tracked him down directly.

Inside the colony, they followed their plan to search for players who might possess high points.

Not long ago, they had run into someone.

That person claimed there was an evil player around here with a massive number of points.

According to them, that person bullied men and women, acted recklessly, committed every imaginable crime, and was extremely dangerous.

Yet when Yuji and Panda arrived, they found things didn't seem quite like that.

The people here looked quite happy; right when they arrived, they even saw a few people drinking and dancing.

At that moment, Jie Jian in front suddenly turned his head and looked at them suspiciously.

"What are you two whispering about over there?"

"Hahaha, nothing, nothing. Isn't it almost time for a meal? We were just discussing where to find something to eat later."

Yuji hurriedly laughed it off, trying to cover up his true purpose.

Panda nodded repeatedly as well, "Right, right, exactly like that."

Jie Jian waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Visitors are guests, and we've got everything here. We'll have some prepared for you shortly!"

The man and the bear repeatedly expressed their gratitude upon hearing this.

Yet beneath the surface, they exchanged a glance, and the meaning was clear.

They must remain vigilant later on and on no account fall into danger!

The people from Jujutsu High were all acting with great vigor.

Yet not everyone's journey was as smooth as Yuji and Panda's; some people's Culling Game trips were rather troublesome.

Tokyo No. 1 Colony.

Kinji Hakari's trip through the Culling Game was not going smoothly.

Right after entering the colony, he found himself playing human target in mid-air!

Before he could even land, a person who looked just like an airplane directly slammed hard into him from above.

This sneak attack was exceptionally malicious.

If it had been an ordinary sorcerer, they might truly have been wiped out directly by it.

Regrettably, however, the one they encountered was Kinji Hakari!

A moment later.

Kinji slammed his foot down hard onto Haba's head, loosening up his shoulders while shouting a classic Japanese tongue-roll.

"Baka yaro! Do you have any idea how much that hurts? I'm telling you guys, do you want to die or what?!"

Haba attempted to use his own head to challenge the sole of Kinji's shoe.

Yet quite clearly, their challenge failed.

Not just him, but beside Kinji's foot, Haba's partner Hanyu was also lying on the ground.

The two of them hadn't defeated Kinji; they hadn't even inflicted any serious injuries on him.

After venting for a bit, Kinji finally remembered the main business.

He had come to the colony to look for high-point sorcerers, and he needed to grill these veteran players inside the colony about the current situation.

He grabbed the unconscious Haba off the ground by the collar.

"Hey! Tell me who has the highest points in this colony!"

However, Haba had long since passed out at this point and was completely unable to answer Kinji's question.

"Tch! How is he already knocked out!"

Kinji tossed Haba onto the ground in annoyance, shifting his gaze toward Hanyu on the other side.

Yet she had clearly passed out as well, and could not answer any of his questions either.

Kinji scratched his head in irritation, his gaze snapping toward a corner nearby.

"Oi! Brat, come out! I see you!"

"Don't attack, don't attack! I'm coming out right now!"

The next moment, a young man raised his hands high and stepped out from behind a wall.

The newcomer was none other than Yuji's former classmate, Rin Amai, who possessed the Star-Condensing Sugar technique.

"Hey! Do you know who has the highest points in this colony?"

"I, I'm not too sure..."

Rin answered instinctively, but seeing Kinji's fierce glare, he immediately changed his tune.

"I know, I know! I know someone whose points might be very high!"

Kinji's expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

"You don't need to be scared, I'm not some bad guy. My name is Kinji Hakari, what's yours?"

Rin gave a low, submissive chuckle, the look of worry on his face failing to vanish.

"Big Bro Hakari, my name is Rin Amai."

"Little Amai." Kinji stepped forward and patted Rin on the shoulder, "You said you know someone with very high points?"

Rin nodded uncertainly.

"I'm not sure exactly how many points he has, but I know the number of sorcerers he's defeated is massive—a conservative estimate would be over a dozen!"

"Oh!"

Kinji's eyes lit up slightly.

A single sorcerer could yield five points, and a dozen or so sorcerers meant seventy or eighty points.

If the other party had also been in battles Rin didn't know about, it might add up to around a hundred points total!

Lucky, lucky!

My luck really is on point; I get to run into a sorcerer worth a hundred points this fast!

It seems the rule to add a point-transfer mechanism is right before my eyes.

Kinji hooked an arm around Rin's shoulder, asking eagerly.

"Who is he? Do you know where he is?"

"His name is Hiromi Higuruma, and he should be inside a theater right now."

Tokyo No. 2 Colony, the residential villa area where Jie Jian was located.

Unlike Kinji's situation, Yuji and Panda's side could be described as utterly peaceful!

The moment they entered the villa area, they were surrounded by the hundreds of survivors inside.

Hearing that government people had arrived, the survivors all rushed out in a swarm and gathered around the pool.

A few anxious people crowded directly around Yuji, asking when the government was going to rescue them.

Meanwhile, some younger children surrounded Panda with eyes full of curiosity, constantly shouting "It's a panda, eh".

A few daring kids climbed all over Panda without a shred of fear, and Panda happily played games along with the little kids.

Even some older women crowded around Panda, petting him here and there while chanting the classic "So cute".

Yuji glanced at Panda, who was surrounded by children and women, and then looked at the survivors swarming around him and asking questions left and right.

Clearly, Panda was unable to offer him any help right now; the work was his alone to do.

Yuji raised his hand helplessly.

"I know you guys are in a hurry, but don't panic yet. We will definitely rescue you all and get you out of here, but right now there's something I need to ask you—who among you has the highest points?"

As soon as those words fell, the scene instantly fell silent for a moment.

Afterwards, everyone's gazes unified and turned toward Jie Jian.

Looking at Yuji, who followed their line of sight, Jie Jian grinned.

"I don't think I've introduced myself yet, have I?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jie Jian, I currently have 96 points, and right now I'm the person with the highest points in this area."
