NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 42: Jaw-dropping Rewards
Xu Luo was naturally unaware of the confrontation among the school's senior leadership or Zhong Tianyue's inner monologue.
At this moment, he was simply commanding his Zerg army to charge again and again.
Using several thousand Mountain Shakers as the spearhead, he directly pierced the allied army's defense line, then divided their forces, allowing his Zerg army to devour the opponents in batches.
Although Xiang Xun, with his abundant resources, had replenished his previously lost Dragon Blood Warriors and fully armed them, they weren't a match for Xu Luo last time, let alone now. Xu Luo had deployed more Zerg this time, and with Silver tier Mountain Shakers present, they were even less of a threat.
"I surrender!" Among all the classmates, only Wang Xiaoling had remained a spectator. Seeing no hope as her classmates were eliminated one by one, she simply conceded.
She surrendered after Xiang Xun was eliminated. Xiang Xun didn't even make it into the top five because Xu Luo deliberately left a few others, intentionally pushing Xiang Xun out first.
After Xiang Xun's elimination, the remaining few stopped resisting and began to surrender one by one.
"I surrender!"
"No more fighting, no more. We can't win at all!"
"I give up. Xu Luo, you're too powerful. There's no need to continue!"
If over forty of them working together couldn't match Xu Luo, what more could they do now as defeated troops? At this point, persisting further was meaningless.
Except for first place, the rewards for second to fifth were the same, so there was no need to compete.
This turn of events nearly made Xiang Xun's face twist with anger.
He had worked hard to unite almost the entire class to attack Xu Luo together, but not only did they fail to eliminate Xu Luo, he himself didn't even make it into the top five.
He naturally didn't care about the small rewards for the top five. Even first place wasn't that impressive to him.
But for him, a direct descendant of the Xiang family, to not even make it into the top five of the elite class was embarrassing to say the least!
However, at this point, there was nothing he could do to change the situation.
This time, he had truly lost on all fronts. He had wanted to prove his strength, but instead, he was humiliated again.
Not only did he not make the top five, but the five eliminated people who originally had a chance to stay were now eliminated because they listened to him. He would need to placate them as well.
With everyone eliminated, the battlefield was instantly left with only Xu Luo's units.
[Final victor determined. Combat simulation ended.]
[Calculating assessment rankings. Please exit the game pods in an orderly manner.]
The mechanical voice announced, and Xu Luo's connection to the battlefield was severed.
Exiting the game pod, Xu Luo calmly walked into the line with a neutral expression.
This was just an entertainment mode without real losses, so naturally, there were no gains. However, for him, it wasn't entirely so. At least he now knew the combat capability of his current Zerg, especially gaining a direct impression of the Mountain Shakers' fighting power.
In future invasions of alien Divine Realms, he could be bolder and didn't need to be so cautious.
News of this battle had already spread throughout the entire first-year grade, and even among some second and third-year students.
After all, one person defeating an entire class was simply too incredible.
But the event had unfolded right before their eyes.
Some students from ordinary backgrounds even began to idolize Xu Luo.
Xu Luo's good looks were already quite popular among the young female students.
In the combat arena, the rankings were now being announced.
Xu Luo was undisputedly first, while Wang Xiaoling surprisingly came in fourth, an ultimate win through inaction. She did nothing and naturally became fourth after everyone else was eliminated.
If she had surrendered a bit later, she could have even become second.
At this time, the names of the first five eliminated were also announced.
Although they had known their fate from the beginning, when the results were officially announced, they still felt very disappointed.
Being kicked out of the elite class meant not only losing resource support but also being unable to use many facilities.
Most importantly, being expelled from the elite class was hugely embarrassing. This disparity was something these young men and women couldn't easily accept at their age.
At this moment, Zhong Tianyue and the others who had been observing came down from the high platform.
He was increasingly satisfied with Xu Luo.
"Alright, the results for this time are out. Those still in the elite class, keep up the good work. Those who were eliminated, don't be discouraged. Strive to fight your way back next month!"
After some words of encouragement, Zhong Tianyue signaled the Logistics Director to speak.
"Students, I believe you're not interested in long speeches, so I'll get straight to the point," the Logistics Director said frankly, without any flourishes, and directly announced the rewards for this assessment.
"The Alliance's rewards aren't fixed but increase progressively. First place: The Education Department rewards 5 million faith power, and our school adds 3 million, totaling 8 million. Additionally, you can choose three items from the school's logistics department store in the Divine Realm capital, including one rare item."
"Wow!" Hearing the Logistics Director's words, the students were amazed at the school's generosity.
Although they came from wealthy families, it didn't mean they could disregard millions of faith power.
Eight million faith power plus three items was quite valuable, not to mention one of them being a rare item. This was actually the most valuable part, something money couldn't always buy.
Two months had passed since the start of school. In total, they had invested only about 100 to 200 million into their Divine Realms. Initially, family support was around 100 million. Those from more powerful families might have received a bit more parental aid, but not much more. The rest they had to earn themselves.
Even wealthy families couldn't endlessly supply their children.
To develop, they still needed to research and explore on their own.
Suddenly gaining 10 million would significantly boost their Divine Realm's development.
At this moment, many people were looking at Xu Luo enviously.
"For second to fifth place, the school rewards each person with 1 million faith power. Additionally, you can claim one item from the logistics department."
After announcing everyone's rewards, the group of leaders left directly.
Xu Luo became the center of attention, with a group of people congratulating him. It wasn't about influence, just normal congratulations.
Although these students came from wealthy families, they weren't as materialistic as those who had entered society.
Xu Luo didn't act superior in response to their compliments.
Why make relationships tense when you could build good connections?
