Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 416 - 411: Central Region Tournament (Part 4)

Chapter 416: Chapter 411: Central Region Tournament (Part 4)

When Ji Ning took out the items, she had already scanned the surroundings and saw that no one was paying attention to them.

Principal Zhang winked at Ji Ning and whispered, "Put it away for now, let’s head back to the hotel."

Ji Ning found it amusing and saw that other teachers and students were surrounding her, trying to keep other schools from noticing. She flicked her finger, and the items on the ground vanished instantly.

"Quick, quick, quick, pack up, let’s return to the hotel!" Principal Zhang immediately called to the students, who were still in shock.

They never expected that their classmate and mentor was not only a high-level healing ability user but also a space superpower user.

Oh my god! A dual-system superpower user.

They had kept such a low profile for so long right among them.

It’s simply unscientific.

The crowd looked at Ji Ning with eyes that were no longer filled with admiration but a kind of reverent gaze, as if looking at a deity.

If someone were to tell them now that Ji Ning was a multi-system superpower user, they wouldn’t be surprised.

After all, deities are different from ordinary people.

On the way back, Hu Lingling tugged on Bai Xiaotang’s sleeve and asked softly, "Tangtang, do you have a picture of Sister Ning?"

"I do, I have tons in my smart brain."

"Can you give me one?"

Bai Xiaotang glanced at Ji Ning ahead and didn’t dare agree immediately. "What do you plan to do with it?"

"I won’t worship Buddha anymore; I’ll start worshiping God Ning!"

Bai Xiaotang: ...

Hu Lingling wasn’t the only one with this idea.

Some wanted it as a talisman, others to ward off evil at home. The various requests made Bai Xiaotang chuckle.

The group, chattering and laughing, returned to the hotel.

Though the hotel was small, its security features were excellent. Principal Zhang stayed here every year when bringing students for competitions, and he was familiar with the hotel owner, who directly provided the VIP event room.

The owner built this for himself, and it wasn’t usually open to the public, but he lent it to Anhe Middle School as a training room because he was acquainted with Principal Zhang.

"I’ll go turn off the surveillance, and you guys can practice here."

Principal Zhang was very cautious, only allowing Ji Ning to bring out the items after turning off the room’s surveillance with a remote control.

This time, Ji Ning took out quite a lot of things: three brand new sets of protective suits with gas masks, medical equipment commonly needed for walking in the pollution zone.

Folding stretchers, bandages, splints, metal chains, medical kits, oxygen tanks, and more.

There were so many types of items that many teachers at Anhe Middle School had never seen them before.

Everyone squatted in a circle on the ground, eagerly looking towards Ji Ning, seeking more answers.

"You three explain, and Instructor Ying will supplement." After handing over the teaching duties to others, Ji Ning walked over to a sofa to rest.

Huang Ying sighed and directly called out, "Bai Xiaotang, you start, You Le and Lin Yuanyang will add on."

Bai Xiaotang was forced to take on the role of a teacher.

It was her first time lecturing in front of so many people, including teachers, superpower students, and students from the elite class, causing her baby face to flush red.

Her voice trembled a little at first, but as she started speaking, she gradually found her rhythm.

Starting from the pollution zone’s classification standards, she explained how to wear protective suits, how to properly use gas masks, how to help others wear them, and so on.

Everyone listened attentively, secretly envying the three for the convenience of living with Ji Ning and Huang Ying.

But no one guessed they had actually been to Nanling and even planted trees at the borders of the semi-pollution and pollution zones.

***

The day of the competition.

The students from Anhe Middle School were no longer dispirited upon learning the competition project; each was full of energy and confidence.

This state left the opposing schools puzzled, assuming they were merely feigning confidence and that it was another tactic by Anhe Middle School’s "Hyperthyroidism" principal.

These days, Principal Zhang had gained a bit of notoriety because of his energetic and loud manner, earning him the nickname "Hyperthyroidism Principal." However, no one had gossiped about this in front of the Anhe Middle School teachers or students, so they were unaware of the nickname.

Led by Ji Ning, Bai Xiaotang, Lin Yuanyang, and You Le arrived at the competition preparation area and submitted their entry details.

The judges for this competition were retired warriors from the original First Base, each having experience executing missions in the pollution zone.

They still carried the unique aura of soldiers, inspiring respect.

One of the judges briefly explained the competition rules: "The rules are best-of-three; the first round is a solo match, the second round is a duo cooperation, and the third round involves a team of three... Now, participants for the first round, please enter the field."

Meanwhile, in the viewing area, occasionally someone would pay attention to Group C’s matches. Upon seeing the competing schools, they would typically exclaim, "Last year’s champion school is a formidable opponent. You would only face them if you won the group stage."

Yet, as the competition began, the three students from Anhe Middle School seemed unstoppable, perfectly completing every match, leaving no room for criticism.

It was as if they had long been living near the pollution zone.

When this predictable match ended in an unforeseen conclusion, the entire audience was shocked.

Even the teachers and students from Anshui City Experimental Middle School didn’t expect to be eliminated in the group stage, especially by a school that often couldn’t get past it.

This doesn’t make sense!

Since when did Anhe Middle School become this strong?

Is this project that simple?

But no one gave them any reason, just like no one would believe Ji Ning would take three ordinary students without superpowers to Nanling.

Anhe Middle School completed their matches ahead of schedule, securing their advancement spot in the central region.

Next, they only need to prepare for the central region ranked tournaments, striving for more points to gain an advantage in the Hua Continent finals.

Bai Xiaotang, Lin Yuanyang, and You Le were about to leave the arena when a judge suddenly stopped them, "Wait, have you three been to Nanling?"

The judge’s face was somewhat stern because the trio’s procedural steps mirrored the internal training of the First Base.

The three were reluctant to answer, but Ji Ning answered for them, "Trained at Jiuming Mountain Base."

Only then did the judge’s expression relax a little, and he praised, "Not bad! Your movements are very precise!"

The trio secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out of the arena.

Afraid they might be pierced by the opponent’s glaring eyes.

Why are these students from the elite class so sensitive?

***

In the audience area—

After watching the competition between Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang, Bai Yulin clenched his molars tightly.

The mechanical hand wearing white gloves was tightly clenched.

Others might not guess, but he knew that these two had definitely been to Nanling.

And they had specifically been taken there by Ji Ning for training.

Otherwise, how could those two losers possibly perform so brilliantly?

Such practiced operational moves could only come from crossing safe zones and undergoing rigorous training.

Those two losers truly have good fortune...

No way!

They can’t be allowed to compete any further!

We must resolve them before they head to Beijing!

A fierce look of murder appeared in Bai Yulin’s eyes as he pressed a button on his wrist.

He lowered his voice and said, "Contact the Left Wing; I can cooperate with them to secure the target before they advance."
