My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

Chapter 145 - 105: This Child, Defying the Heavens (Part 1)

Clear laughter spread throughout the venue.

All the alien races looked at Chen Yu in surprise.

"…"

Chen Yu immediately covered his mouth, pretending as if nothing had happened, and started fiddling with his fingernails.

The examiner blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at Chen Yu for a moment before asking, "Prime Minister, why did you laugh?"

’I laughed at how the Transcendents lack cunning and how the aliens are short on wisdom. I merely disguised myself as a staff member and tricked all the fools into giving me their token numbers...’

Though his thoughts muttered this, Chen Yu’s face was honest and simple: "Sorry, I just thought of something very funny."

After giving Chen Yu a deep look, the examiner switched to several languages to reintroduce the examination rules to all alien contestants.

Then, scanning the entire venue, she asked, "Does anyone still not understand?"

The contestants remained silent.

"Are you sure?"

Everyone: "…"

"Good. Since there are no questions, everyone, get on the bus and head to your respective starting points," the examiner ordered with a wave of her delicate hand, and hundreds of military off-road vehicles drove in from the gate in the earthen wall.

Encircling all the contestants.

"It’s finally starting." The chubby neighbor took a deep breath and whispered into Chen Yu’s ear, "Yu, what’s your number?"

"Why?"

"I’ll find you, so we can team up. You’ll be safer that way."

"No need," Chen Yu declined, and stepped towards one of the off-road vehicles: "Just take care of yourself."

"Hey? Yu!" The chubby neighbor, anxious, stamped his foot: "Why are you so careless?"

"Bang!"

Chen Yu got into the car, shut the door. He waved at the chubby neighbor and said, "Driver, let’s go."

"Please state your name." The driver, seeming to be just an ordinary person, respectfully greeted Chen Yu: "Once you say your name, I can know your route."

"Chen Yu."

"Alright, just a moment." The driver pressed his earpiece communicator and reported Chen Yu’s name.

A second later, the off-road vehicle’s display screen immediately refreshed with a navigation route.

"Route is set, should we go now?"

"Yes."

"But…" the driver hesitated, "leading the way will expose your direction to everyone. I recommend you wait until everyone is on board and then leave together…"

"No need," Chen Yu interrupted. "Just go."

"Okay, hold on tight."

Without further delay, the driver twisted the key in the ignition, started the engine, and with a press of the accelerator, became the first vehicle to leave the scene, heading in the northeast direction.

Within the crowd.

Two aliens with ape-like appearances whispered to each other in their native language, "Remember his direction, let’s take him out first."

"The organizers arranging a car could mean the driver’s route might be fake. Or a detour."

"Even if it’s fake, the general direction should be correct. We just follow that direction. It doesn’t matter if we don’t encounter him. If we do, we take him down."

"Okay."

In the meantime, the chubby neighbor couldn’t delay either, quickly jumped onto a vehicle, and ordered the driver: "Catch up to him!"

Driver: "…"

Driver: "Sir, this isn’t a taxi. I can only take you to the starting point assigned to your number."

Chubby neighbor: "Useless!"

Apart from the chubby neighbor and the two "ape" aliens,

Among the crowd of participants, many were also watching the direction in which Chen Yu departed, each with their own plans.

For instance, the niece of the Li Family Head—the girl with green hair.

For instance, the first-ranked person from the Alliance Academy—the man with long hair.

And also, the other aliens who were "tricked" by Chen Yu for their token numbers.

"It’s him, the one who took advantage of us not understanding human language during the rule explanation by the human examiner, and saw our numbers." (Alien language)

"Prioritize killing him." (Alien language)

"He knows our numbers. If we let him reach the end, we’ll all lose 1 point." (Alien language)

"Kill him first." (Alien language)

With Chen Yu taking the lead, the remaining contestants no longer hesitated and boarded their vehicles one after another, driving in different directions.

"Examiner, are we sure we don’t need to change the rules?" After most of the contestants had left, one of the supervisors quietly asked the examiner.

"No need," the examiner replied, shaking her head: "Intelligence is a part of strength. And whether they can protect their intelligence, that depends on their strength."

…

The off-road vehicle was equipped with brand-new all-terrain tires.

Even in this pathless mountainous forest, it could advance rapidly.

Chen Yu sat in the back, his body jolting violently with the motion of the vehicle, yet his mind was full of thoughts.

The rules of this examination were not as simple as they appeared.

Every contestant started with 1 point and the starting points were eleven kilometers from the endpoint.

Moreover, every ten kilometers traveled would deduct 1 point.

This meant that anyone reaching directly in a straight line to the endpoint would end up with 0 points.

If one wanted to score more than 1, they had to know at least one contestant’s token number.

Thus, conflicts between contestants were inevitable.

"Is it to reduce casualties?" Chen Yu pondered silently.

When two contestants encountered each other, the weaker party only needed to display their token number to avoid death.

After all, everyone was after "points."

Killing was pointless.

Furthermore, deducting 1 point for every ten kilometers traveled ensured that in this examination, there would be no one "sweeping the field."

Because everyone was scattered within an eleven-kilometer radius of the Sky-reaching Tower. If someone truly "killed" all contestants, the points gained might not even cover the deductions…
