The participants tended to switch off the signal button of the opponents after taking away the nutritive solutions. This was to ensure that their competitors would be disqualified instantly. Only this Chen Cheng was thinking differently.
While running, she opened the iron box and took out the nutritive solutions. She started to gulp it down quickly.
As the fluid went into her mouth, she realized that it was a middle-level nutritive solution, which tasted much better than those low-level nutritive solutions!
The nutritive solutions had no taste, yet they were not that horrid compared to low-level nutritive solutions!
Soon, she finished one bottle of nutritive solutions. She tossed the empty bottle away. She brought out the signal button and put it on.
In the iron box there were two bottles of nutritive solutions left. She brought them out and hid them in the pockets.
Of course, she did not discard the iron box, but kept it to distract people.
Lan Jiao did all of this covertly. She finished the whole exercise while running between people. Hence, Chen Cheng did not notice her small movements, especially, since her back was facing him.
“Stop running! Watch out!” Chen Cheng shouted, as he saw the prettiest local from Planet Trash cease her steps not far from him.
There was a long beautiful sword with a classical stripe of silver color blocking Lan Jiao’s path. She was forced to halt.
As she looked up, she saw a cold-looking, tall and beautiful girl with a long, raven ponytail. The girl’s gaze was fixed at the iron box in Lan Jiao’s arms.
“Give it to me.” The beautiful girl said in a soft voice.
Lan Jiao was quite surprised inwardly at this sight.
Everyone else’s space storage device had been taken away by small robots, but this girl had such a large weapon in her hand!
Lan Jiao thought for a moment and finally understood the situation. This cold-looking girl did not need any storage device to keep her weapon. The sword was attached to her!
Clearly, she was an excellent swordswoman!
Lan Jiao threw the iron box at her without hesitation and then turned to run in another direction.
Seeing her actions, the girl knew that there was nothing in the iron box without opening it!
She weighed the box and confirmed her guess.
How dare she lie to her!
The girl became furious. She tossed the iron box on the ground and started to run after Lan Jiao.
Chen Cheng, who had been running after Lan Jiao, felt hair standing up on his neck as he saw the sword girl running after his pretty lady from Planet Trash.
Chen Cheng mumbled. “Man, Pretty Lady from Planet Trash is finished now! She would have lost nutritive solutions at most if I had caught her, but Zhao Qingyan is a crazy woman! She is going to torture her badly.”
Chen Cheng did not dare to chase Lan Jiao any more, since she was now the target of Zhao Qingyan, a famous noble lady from the Zhao Family on Alliance Stars.
If Zhao Qingyan, the narrow-minded woman, knew that her target was another person’s target too, he would have to suffer a great deal as well.
Lan Jiao panted and did not cease her steps.
She sighed inwardly as she felt the furious gaze locked upon her from behind!
She had just escaped the wolf’s jaw but was now being hunted by a tiger!
The cold-looking girl, who was running after her, seemed like a bigger trouble compared to that dumb, strong man.
She glanced back briefly and found that the man was no longer visible.
Lan Jiao was sure that Chen Cheng had stopped his hunt only because of this cold-looking beautiful woman!
Zhao Qingyan was the genius of the Zhao Family, who had been born with higher physical quality compared to others. Her physical quality had already reached level S, so it was just a piece of cake for her to hunt down a person much less capable than her.
This girl from Planet Trash who had tricked her was not slow, but compared to her, she still had a long way to go.
Zhao Qingyan jumped up on her toes, overturned in the middle and hopped over several men’s shoulders, to land in front of Lan Jiao.
The moment she touched the ground, she placed the sword in front of Lan Jiao.
“Caught!” The voice sounded cold andreached Lan Jiao’s ears clearly.
Lan Jiao ceased her steps and showed a face full of bitterness.
She knew that she would not be a match against her, so what she could do was…
“Spare my life, girl! I can give you my nutritive solutions!”
Lan Jiao brought out the remaining two bottles of nutritive solutions from her pocket and handed them out politely.
Seeing this girl surrendering so easily, Zhao Qingyan started to frown.
If she was going to be the student of Second Military School and the future honored soldier on the battlefield, why did she surrender so easily?
Couldn’t she show a little more backbone?
She did not deserve to be her classmate!
“I need the nutritive solutions and your signal button…”
“And this too.” Lan Jiao brought out a small box of snacks from her pocket and presented it to her. She had prepared these earlier.
Lan Jiao did not want to do this, but seeing the girl’s micro moves and frowns, she had to use something to buy her way out.
She assumed that the girl was displeased because there were only two bottles of nutritive solutions.
Since she wanted sustenance, Lan Jiao had to use other food items to make up for the loss of the third bottle of nutritive solution.
Zhao Qingyan opened the snack box and was instantly attracted to the flower-shaped cookies.
Zhao Qingyan had sharp senses with a S-level physical quality, especially the sense of smell.
The moment the box was opened, she could smell the milky sweetness of the cookies.
Zhao Qingyan had not tasted the cookies yet, but based on her constant research and deep knowledge of desserts, she was sure that this box of snacks was going to be really tasty. She could determine it just by the smell.
The girl’s actions had shocked Zhao Qingyan. Did she think that she could be bought by these small snacks?
Correct!
These small snacks were enough!
After a startled moment, Zhao Qingyan grabbed the snack box from her.
Zhao Qingyan’s movement was so fast that Lan Jiao felt the weight in her hand vanish with the gust of wind.
The nutritive solutions, on the other hand, were totally ignored by Zhao Qingyan.
Zhao Qingyan did not care about nutritive solutions. These bottles might be important to keep her going, yet she was capable enough to not be constrained by them.
Since she already got something good from this girl, she did not need to disqualify her, after all.
“You can leave now.” Zhao Qingyan said, putting away the box of snacks carefully.
After that, Zhao Qingyan left from there.
