New users registered on the official website of the extraordinary state receive 100 Fan Coins, but most are unaware of their purpose. The number of old users on the site is only a few tens of thousands, while new users have exceeded five hundred million in just one day.
The total number of Fan Coins for betting has reached 1.3 billion.
The top three teams in the betting so far are all fourth-year students from the academy. These student council members possess A-class strength. Among the three teams, one is far ahead, currently in first place with 13 points. The next two teams are at 10 and 7 points respectively.
Lu Zhi's team is currently in last place.
Unlike the others, their team members are not as fortunate. They have encountered only Level 3 anomalies, and their points have accumulated rapidly through teamwork. Facing Level 4 anomalies, they have displayed excellent tacit understanding and decisive kills.
Lu Zhi's hastily assembled miscellaneous team, however, appears exceptionally weak.
But each member of their team has a striking appearance. Despite their last-place ranking in points, they attract the largest audience.
It's unavoidable; people have no resistance to beauty.
[Is this white flying duck a pet?]
[Ahhh~ This flying duck is so cute!]
[That's a bird, thank you.]
[Holy cow, pulling out a comb from its head, damn, that looks painful!]
[Dark, thick, long, and straight hair, may I ask what shampoo you use? I'm balding.]

[It's showing its face! Holy cow, a great beauty!]
Before long, the barrage of comments suddenly turned into a uniform sea of [hahahaha]...
...
While the live broadcast was lively, the three people in the examination area were engaged in a game of chase.
"Shit, shit, shit! Why are you only chasing me!" Gu Weiyu suddenly ducked, and a black steel needle whizzed past her hair, piercing through the tree trunk.
Gu Weiyu darted and leaped like a squirrel, while the Makeup Lady, appearing crazed, relentlessly pursued only Gu Weiyu, screaming, "My face, give me my face, give me your face—"
Behind the Makeup Lady, Jiang Yue and Luo Shiyu were hot on her heels. Jiang Yue exploded with anger, "Hey, I'm behind you! Why are you only chasing her!!!"
Luo Shiyu's ice spike smashed down from the Makeup Lady's head, blocking her path to pursuing Gu Weiyu. He then answered Jiang Yue's question with mock seriousness, "Isn't the answer obvious?"
Jiang Yue's eyes widened in anger.
Gu Weiyu, given a moment's respite, breathed heavily, her chest heaving in a way that women envied.
The live broadcast was filled with [666] and [Missy is so cool~].
Seeing the three working together, their bickering fading as they began to fight with increasing默契 (mòqì - tacit understanding/chemistry), Lu Zhi, who had taken a moment to open the live broadcast on his optical computer, was surprised by the massive audience of several million.
He was soon flooded with comments like [Slacker brother is secretly watching the live broadcast].
Lu Zhi realized they were talking about him. He couldn't help but laugh and cry as he closed the broadcast and loudly reminded the three, "It's getting dark soon. We haven't gotten a single point today, and we're already at the bottom."
Upon hearing this, the three sharpened their gazes and, ceasing their banter, rejoined forces to attack once more.
Lu Zhi really wanted to help, but he couldn't leave Lan Yushan alone, fearing a sneak attack from the Makeup Lady.
"Mmm..." https:/
As if responding to Lu Zhi's thoughts, Lan Yushan, whose face was covered in nail scratches, slowly woke up, opened his mouth, and weakly and fearfully asked, "Am I... am I going to go bald."
Lu Zhi, with a wry smile, asked with concern, "Haven't you woken up from the illusion yet?"
Lan Yushan hissed, covering his face and touching his hair, saying with lingering fear, "I, I saw in the regression that I had no hair. It scared me to death!"
Lu Zhi mused, "That's it? Nothing else?"
Lan Yushan seemed to have a headache, and his complexion wasn't great, but overall his eyes were still very clear. "Uh... there was quite a lot, all from that Level 4 anomaly's past."
Lu Zhi suddenly asked, "What kind of person do you think Shao Banxian is?"
Lan Yushan dazedly tidied his hair, which had become a bird's nest, and asked blankly, "Shao Banxian? What deity is that?"
Lu Zhi finally understood the anomaly he had sensed in the regression illusion.
The memory regression belonged to Huang Li, but Lu Zhi, who was possessing a stray cat, should have continued to leave the cat's body along with Huang Li's memories after Huang Li left.
But in the period after Huang Li left, he had exchanged glances with Shao Banxian.
Lu Zhi initially thought it was an illusion, but now, thinking about it carefully, Shao Banxian's words, "So it's a stray cat from who knows where," were directed at him!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi was secretly alarmed.
Who exactly was Shao Banxian?
Was Shao Banxian human? He called himself a 'half-immortal,' was he also a deity?
"Lu Zhi... Lu Zhi?"
Lu Zhi suddenly snapped back to attention, "What is it?"
Lan Yushan pointed at the battlefield, "W-what's going on with this anomaly? Can't the three of them handle it?"
Lu Zhi’s mind returned, and he quickly said, "Be careful yourself since you're awake, I'm going to help."
Lan Yushan immediately stood up, "I'll go too."
"No need, your mental strength isn't stable yet. Rest on the side," Lu Zhi stretched his limbs. "If you're bored, you can watch the live broadcast."
Lan Yushan was full of questions. Suddenly, something heavy landed on his head, and Hao Yunyi imperiously commanded, "Hurry up the tree! Can't you see something crawling up from below?"
Lan Yushan was startled. He looked down and indeed saw black hair wriggling and climbing like mycelia. He quickly followed Hao Yunyi's instructions and shot up the tree like a skyrocket, patting his chest, "I can't, I have a phobia of black hair now."
Hao Yunyi scoffed, "Little chicken."
Lan Yushan politely asked with good nature, "Excuse me, who are you..."
Hao Yunyi ignored him and barked, "Focus on the fight."
Lan Yushan shrunk his neck, obediently said "Oh," and focused on the battlefield.
With Lu Zhi's addition, the vines grew extensively, transforming into thick shields to block the penetration of the steel needles and hair. He warned the three, "Watch your footing."
The three suddenly looked down, surprised to find that fine black hair, like mycelia, had spread across a large area without them knowing.
Jiang Yue frowned, "I knew it! No wonder she could always dodge our attacks."
Lu Zhi glanced at the Makeup Lady standing opposite them and said, "I have an idea."
