Chapter 313: Chapter 313: It seems like you pursued Commander Gu once
In the five-person team from Empire University, though there were three girls.
Su Wan was married.
Sheng An was not considering personal feelings for the time being, and besides, Lan Ruojin had pursued her before, only to fail swiftly.
Lastly, there was Pandora. She preferred PK fighting. What were men to her?
So Lan Ruojin’s plan of using his good looks instantly went bankrupt and failed.
However, Su Wan hesitated for a few seconds.
Because Lan Ruojin had said their Mermaid Clan possessed other talents as well.
So, could it have something to do with the Mermaid Queen’s superpower?
Seeing that Su Wan did not immediately agree or refuse, Lan Rui could no longer hold back.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for Su Wan, but she absolutely could not accept teaming up with Su Wan!
Lan Rui said coldly, "I disagree with teaming up with them!"
Just at that moment, Sheng An came back from scouting, and Su Wan gave Lan Ruojin a polite smile, "Then, since that’s the case, we’ll be leaving first."
"Ah..."
Lan Ruojin turned his head and glared fiercely at Lan Rui.
Meanwhile, Sheng An came over to Su Wan’s side, and their Empire University’s five-person team gathered together.
Of course, they kept a certain distance from the people of Siren University.
Sheng An: "Davis University indeed chose the middle path, but they encountered Mecha soldiers, and moreover, there is magnetic interference. They’re currently in a dire situation, unable to extricate themselves."
"Both the left and the right paths are covered with something hazy; they should be for blocking sight."
After finishing, Sheng An looked up, "So which one do we pick?"
Looking at it this way, the left was the same as the right.
Nobody had traversed them yet, so they hadn’t been activated.
Su Wan touched her chin, "Yuanyi University’s people actually flew straight over, they must be aiming for the shortest time to come first. What does everyone think, should we go left or right?"
Everyone said, both were fine.
Su Wan looked around and finally chose the left.
As they moved into it, Alex whispered, "Xiaowan, will that group of fish follow us?"
Su Wan smiled: "They will."
Alex: "Then what do we do?
Su Wan looked back and said with a smile, "So, let’s hurry."
The left path looked perfectly normal, just that the vine plants were particularly abundant, some with little flowers in bloom and small fruits forming.
Su Wan saw a vine quiver.
She immediately said, "Everyone avoid these vines, do not touch them."
"Mhm."
All the teammates were very reliable people.
Even Bai Qi, who rarely spoke, nodded and then kept away from the beautiful-looking vine flowers.
Soon, they were faced with two paths again.
The five people stopped.
They could faintly hear sounds of battle.
That was probably from Davis University’s team, fighting with the mechanical checkpoint on the middle path.
Of the two paths, one was thick with vines, and the other had almost no vines.
Pandora, who was the bravest, stepped forward to inspect them.
She frowned and said, "The path with a lot of vines probably has the main body of the vines here. Whereas the path without vines has unknown dangers."
Su Wan turned to Bai Qi, "Xiaobai, pluck a flower and see if there’s any poison on it."
The nickname from Su Wan startled Bai Qi.
His overly pale face turned slightly embarrassed, but he still obediently nodded and plucked a white flower from a nearby vine.
The vine seemed to wince in pain and twisted a little.
Bai Qi ate it and then... he swallowed it down.
He said, "No poison, it’s actually quite tasty."
Alex immediately became interested when he heard this, "Really? Let me try!"
He pinched the largest flower and after eating it, his eyes popped open wide.
"Hey, Xiaobai didn’t lie, it’s really good! Su Wan, you should try some quickly, to see if you can make some kind of dessert from it in the future."
Su Wan indeed became interested.
Because there was a type of dessert before that incorporated various edible flowers.
Finally, even Sheng An and Pandora joined the action of tasting the flowers.
After Su Wan tasted it, she confirmed the flavor of the flowers.
Then all four friends suggested that they had containers and could help Su Wan pick more flowers to make desserts when they got back!
Vine plant: "..."
Teachers in front of the surveillance cameras: "..."
Lan Yurou cleared her throat lightly, with a somewhat scornful smile.
"I suddenly remembered that Commander’s wife’s family owns a restaurant. But, this is a serious competition between five schools; this seems a little inappropriate," she said.
Lan Yurou had a good relationship with Lan Rui.
Most importantly, Lan Yurou once had a crush on Gu Jue as well.
After being coldly rejected by him, she gave up.
To be able to add some frustration to Su Wan’s experience was something Lan Yurou was very willing to do.
Adolf cleared his throat, "There’s no rule against eating the stuff on the competition field in this match."
Jiang Qinghao was indifferent to the matter.
But seeing Mermaid Lan Yurou attacking the young girl, he said with a sneer, "I suddenly remembered that you, Teacher Lan, once pursued Commander Gu, didn’t you?"
As he said this, everyone looked at Lan Yurou with that peculiar gaze.
Lan Yurou smiled lightly, "I admit I’ve admired Commander Gu, after all, there are many who have admired him, aren’t there? As such an outstanding Commander, his wife should be even more outstanding."
Andrew didn’t usually get involved in their quarrels.
But since this concerned Su Wan, he was definitely going to speak up.
He said, "Su Wan, relying on her status as a pure human, came in second place in our school’s mecha competition; that is her strength."
"What’s more, I personally don’t see anything wrong with being able to cook, I actually respect her for it."
"Exactly! Nowadays, there aren’t many who can make traditional Ancient Earth cuisine, right? I think this young lady, Su Wan, is pretty great!"
"Skilled in the kitchen and in piloting mechas to kick butt! How awesome!"
Watching everyone speak up for Su Wan, Lan Yurou’s face grew uglier by the minute.
At this time, the team from Empire University had already made their choice.
They chose the path with the densest vine growth.
Adolf squinted his eyes, "They’ve made the right choice once again."
Indeed, the deeper Su Wan and her team went, the more vines they encountered, and some even began to attack them.
It was a type of mutated plant.
Fortunately, as they were non-poisonous, the children had made preparations in advance, and the vines’ attacks didn’t do much harm to them.
Then, they successfully arrived in front of the mutant vine’s main body.
After slaying the mutant vine’s main body, Empire University’s team successfully obtained the vine seeds capable of growth.
The second bonus point, was theirs.
And the Mermaid Clan from Siren University, indeed, also chose the left path.
Initially, they were very cautious of the vines and didn’t touch them.
Then, they arrived at the fork of the two paths.
The left path was devoid of vines.
The right path seemed to be enveloped by the vines.
