Chapter 199: The Rat-Rat Team Ascends to Immortality?
"What? Two barrels of oil!" The dean's voice rose instantly, full of surprise.
"I've struck gold! This game is a huge win!"
No sooner had the words left her lips than a sour, resentful voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Dean, your luck is just unbelievable! You got three barrels of oil in just two games! It's like all the aerospace industry's resources are pouring into you, isn't it?"
Jiang Feng chuckled upon hearing the voice and exclaimed with a smile, "Old Cao? Cao Xumin? Long time no see!"
"It's been a long time!" Cao Xumin's voice sounded even more aggrieved, full of helplessness.
"Your room 214 is so popular! I've been waiting for days, but I can never get a seat. This time, a senior had to leave at the last minute, so I managed to snag a spot. And when I got here, I saw you guys just sitting there collecting empty seats. It's so frustrating!"
The live stream chat exploded with laughter, the screen filled with jokes and banter.
If I remember correctly, this Mr. Cao is using a Huawei phone, right?
[A deep sorrow lingers, I still vividly recall Old Cao's pitiful screams from years ago!]
[Old Cao's video earned Jiang Feng 50 likes, hahaha!]
At this moment, the dean suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Xiao Jiang, a batch of documents suddenly arrived. Let me take a look."
After saying that, the dean cut off the microphone.
Jiang Feng chatted with Lao Cao when he had nothing else to do:
"Cao'er~ How have you been lately? Have you gotten all oily from playing around?"
"I got it, but I'm bankrupt?"
Bankruptcy? Jiang Feng was shocked. If he remembered correctly, Lao Cao was a typical hoarder who happily picked up trash in Puba every day. How could he be bankrupt?
"??? Last time I logged into your account to help you farm oil, didn't you have over 30 million in cash, and your inventory was full?"
Chen Yulin, who was standing next to him, had already quickly opened Lao Cao's battle record panel. He burst out laughing and even sent a screenshot to Jiang Feng.
"Jiang Feng, look! Old Cao's assets are down to only 13M, his K/D ratio is only 0.7, and his recent record is all top-secret aerospace battles, plus an achievement of 11 failed evacuations!"
Jiang Feng glanced at it and instantly understood, feeling both amused and exasperated.
That's alright then. It's become a top-secret aerospace project. Given Lao Cao's level of succumbing to temptation, his aggressive attack on bankruptcy is both reasonable and expected.
Jiang Feng showed Lao Cao's battle record screenshots.
The viewers in the live chat burst out laughing:
Bro, when will you remember that the dam is your home?
[Juehang is a scam! A scam specifically targeting us dam rats!]
[Your warehouse is full—you go to Juehang to collect oil—after failing countless times, you finally get some oil—your warehouse is empty—you don't need oil anymore!]
Cao Xumin begged to be taken on, his voice trembling with tears:
"So, when is Fengshen going to launch the 'Oil-Smearing Poverty Alleviation Campaign 2.0'?!"
"Our business school classmates have been waiting for a clear sky for so long!"
"Yes! That's right!" Jiang Feng's classmates behind him chimed in, chattering excitedly.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments asking for help with poverty alleviation and begging for assistance in beating up the talented young boy.
But Jiang Feng was having a bit of a headache right now.
For him, there are tons of shows he can do: helping genius teenagers, helping the poor, attacking hard on his own, and even organizing gatherings for friends. XDD and Xiaoxin PDD even invited him before.
Not to mention the numerous trivial matters that need to be handled by the club.
Unfortunately, the system provides three challenging tasks every week, and each task is extremely difficult!
Each task takes at least a day, and if three days are used up, only four days are left in a week. Even counting them on your fingers isn't enough, and you really can't be in two places at once.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but grumble to himself: It's all this damn system's fault.
The thought had barely formed when a cold system notification suddenly sounded in my mind:
"Beep... System defect detected. The system is undergoing adaptive improvement."
"Beep... Weekly challenge missions have been changed to monthly challenge missions. Rewards have been increased accordingly: upon completion of a single mission, you will receive 5 chances to draw a prize, 5000 Domination Points, and 500 Attribute Fragments."
"Beep... Upon completion of all monthly challenge missions, you will receive an additional 10 lottery draws, 10000 Domination Points, and 1000 Attribute Fragments!"
"Beep... This week's challenge has been automatically postponed to January 25th year."
Immediately afterwards, the challenge task panel in front of Jiang Feng turned gray and the timer stopped.
Holy crap? An adaptive evolution system? This thing actually listens to advice!
Jiang Feng's heart instantly exploded with joy. After careful calculation, although the total weekly reward seemed small, the individual task rewards were maximized. Most importantly, he had complete freedom of time! He was no longer bound by weekly tasks. Club matters, various programs, and entertaining friends could all be arranged. This deal was a huge win!
The frustration that had been weighing on my heart vanished instantly, leaving me feeling refreshed and relaxed. This was in stark contrast to Cao Xumin's tearful complaints on the microphone, the cheers from his classmates behind him, and the flood of comments in the live stream asking for his participation.
Jiang Feng cleared his throat:
"No problem! We'll cover everything from sweeping up accounts for poverty alleviation, the 'Oil-smearing Operation 2.0', to even helping our viewers get the 'Colorful Genius Boy' skin!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room erupted in chaos!
Cao Xumin's cheers were the first to pierce through the microphone: "Feng Shen is awesome! Feng Qingtian is the best!"
Jiang Feng's classmates behind him also joined in the cheering, banging on the table and shouting, "Poverty alleviation has finally arrived!" The live stream chat exploded with comments, filling the screen with:
Feng Qingtian keeps his word!
[I'm signing up first, you dazzlingly talented young man!]
Just then, the dean suddenly returned:
"I was busy with something just now. By the way, Xiao Jiang, I saw your event application. Tomorrow is your club's first live-stream assessment. Isn't your third-floor location a bit too basic?"
"Here's what we'll do: have Xiao Fang submit an application to the school's conference hall, the one with a capacity of 100 people. Make it a big event, put up banners, hand out tickets, fill the hall, and make it lively and bustling!"
The dean is truly considerate, even offering them advice and suggestions. It has to be said, this approach instantly made the club's opening event much more impressive, far better than struggling to set up in the small third-floor space!
This is a direct and rudimentary approach compared to the current assessment methods used in small live-streaming rooms, akin to a game-changer.
Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't refuse the dean's kindness and immediately agreed, "Alright, Dean, I'll have Ning Xue redo the plan right away!"
Fang Ningxue was in the live stream at the moment and replied with an OK.
Just as the lively atmosphere began, Jiang Feng glanced at the game interface and his expression instantly changed:
"Oh no! Dean, it's too late, we have to leave immediately!"
Two oil tankers, less than 7 minutes left in the game.
Everyone was stunned by his sudden shout. Jiang Feng stared at the map and quickly calculated – there were less than 7 minutes left in the game, but neither of the two switches in the Blue Room had been activated!
Jiang Feng calculated the time, his face darkened, it was already too late.
The prison area wanted to pull the double gates in 2 minutes, but Red Wolf wouldn't have had the chance at all, especially since Jiang Feng hadn't brought any combat stimulants.
The dean was also a little anxious: "I'm sorry, something came up and I was delayed."
"So what do we do now?"
The viewers in the live stream also got anxious, and the screen was filled with messages like:
What should we do then? We can't take the oil with us?
[We can't lose the package! It belongs to the two oil companies!]
Jiang Feng's gaze swept quickly across the map, and he said in a deep voice:
"The Ascension quest is gone; the clearing team probably used it to ascend."
"There's only one solution now, and that's to ascend to immortality!"
