The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Chapter 282 Mimic Cloth

"Bang, bang, bang."

The "man" walked into the forest with heavy and powerful footsteps and an arrogant attitude.

The next second after the shadow covered him, the tall and strong "man" seemed to have deflated as if a balloon, and his appearance instantly turned back to a thin shape.

Liu An, who had transformed back into his original form, was holding the jade token of points and grinning smugly, waving it around at the others: "I got it in one go! As expected, the best way to earn points is written in the imperial law."

Article 248 of Chapter 3 of the Laws of the Dawn Empire stipulates the crime of robbery.

"How many points did you get?"

"It's quite a lot, tens of thousands. There will be no problem in advancing." Liu An returned the points jade card to Jiang Liujing.

He was happy for a second before sighing, "But it still can't compare to the first place. That school, Wings of Glory, is crazy. How could they have over 200,000 points? Are they fighting all day and night?"

Jiang Liujing opened the scoreboard, and the others gathered around and looked at it curiously.

If the captain could see the jade cards in their hands at this moment, he would find something very strange - the rankings and points of each team shown on their two jade cards were not the same.

On the ranking list in Jiang Liujing's hand, the score of the Imperial Magic Academy soared, instantly jumping into the top ten and staying in the ninth position.

But in the eyes of the captain, they remained unchanged, while the other team's points increased.

And the reason why...

"This little thing is so useful and so cheap, how come no one else has discovered it?"

Mo Ya's tone was puzzled. He picked up the cloth that he had just taken off Liu An's face with his fingers and pulled it hard to both sides.

The translucent, cool fabric was extremely stretchable and could be easily torn apart and enlarged.

Mimic cloth, a small toy they had found in the backseat of the prop store. Compared to other expensive weapons that could easily cost tens of thousands, this piece of cloth only cost 500 points, which was considered very cheap.

The fabric itself has no color, and when it is attached to an object, it becomes invisible and does not feel like a foreign object when touched.

Its effect is that it can change into the desired appearance according to the user's wishes. Liu An just used it to disguise himself as someone else.

In the process of collecting points, he also placed a piece on the opponent's jade token, directly forging false data for the opponent and leading them to seek revenge on another annoying team.

Lessden explained, "The Mimic Cloth itself doesn't provide any combat bonus. For teams that rely on battling mythical beasts for points, it's a completely useless item. Even 500 points is too much for them."

Fantasy beasts rely on their breath rather than their appearance to move, and the only thing that mimicry cloth can truly deceive is the human eye.

Most teams are essentially "honest people" and would not do things like framing others.

Liu An smiled and patted Lesden's shoulder vigorously, praising him: "Young people have good brains."

He is so good at using a knife to kill someone else that he deserves to be the man who was unanimously voted as "old pervert" during the selection.

Lesden smiled shyly and spoke modestly.

"I was just going along with the situation. The key is that Senior Jiang found this prop. Senior Jiang is so smart, he must have thought of this at the time. I am just speaking on behalf of Senior Jiang."

Jiang Liujing: “?”

Jiang Liujing suspected that Lesden was trying to shift the blame for his evil deeds to him, and he had evidence.

He stepped back and protested with a smile: "No, I really just meant to use it to cover my face."

Although his original plan was to harvest the points of these isolated teams, he was not so ruthless as to use them as pawns. He simply wanted to hide the identity of his own team.

It was Lesden who finally suggested that since changes were going to happen anyway, they might as well cause some trouble for the other teams chasing them.

But obviously, from the outside, they are all one and the same. It makes no difference who proposed it, who perfected it, and who implemented it.

[I heard this is the kindest team in the league. I'm a bit naive, but I didn't realize this kind of kindness.]

[…I take back my previous comments about this team. They are not kind, they are too insidious.]

[Not only is it not enough to steal someone's points, but they also trick them into working for them, discouraging others from pursuing them. Even an unscrupulous boss wouldn't dare to use their employees like this!]

[When the game is over and the members of the robbed team come out and find out the truth, they'll probably be furious. Hahahaha.]

Who was it that so confidently declared the Imperial Magic Academy doomed? Now, stand up and say something again! Does it hurt?

[We only got one team's points, so don't get complacent too soon.]

After a brief conversation, the group quickly moved to another location and did not stop until they were sure they would not be caught.

"Although this method scores quickly, it cannot be used frequently," Lesden said regretfully.

"There aren't many teams that still have a lot of points when they're alone. Besides us, other academies are definitely keeping an eye on them. Using too much will easily expose us."

It is not difficult for them to advance, but what they want is first place.

The summit cannot be reached this way alone.

"No rush." Jiang Liujing shook his head, his words filled with calmness and determination. "There are only two days left. Even if we don't take the initiative to look for them, a team will come to us on their own."

"All we have to do is wait and then confront them."

A gust of cold wind blew by, ruffling the boy's waist-length black hair slightly.

Although his frail body had nothing to do with being strong, it held everyone's hearts steady like an indestructible magic needle.

The invisible anxiety quietly dissipated, and everyone looked at each other and laughed.

Given their experience of being persecuted so badly these days and having their rankings plummeted, if someone else were to be the captain, there would inevitably be internal conflicts within the team.

But this person happened to be Jiang Liujing.

Because it was him, they were all willing to believe and wait.

Waiting for him to lead them to the final victory and bring forth the supreme glory.

The branches and leaves rustled, and a soft white ball suddenly emerged from the dense grass.

It ran extremely fast and arrived beside Jiang Liujing in a blink of an eye. It kicked off with its hind legs and jumped steadily into the boy's arms.

Chi noticed it earlier than Jiang Liujing. When he saw it was it, his calm expression changed instantly and he reached out to catch it.

The little thing seemed to have predicted his movements long ago. It twisted flexibly, avoiding Chi's palm while getting closer to Jiang Liujing.

It poked half of its furry head out from Jiang Liujing's arms, turned around, and stuck out its pink tongue at Chi provocatively.

The air was silent, but everyone present seemed to hear a loud—

"A little bit."

“…” Chi’s face quickly turned dark.

The corners of the others' mouths twitched slightly, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

Although he tried his best to hide, he was still discovered by Chi in an instant.

Under Chi Leng's cold gaze, they coughed and turned their heads away.

Chi usually bullied them with ease, but he hadn't expected to be repeatedly defeated by a tiny creature these days. Everyone's shock at the first sight had turned into a state of familiarity, and they even felt like laughing.

If I had to describe it in detail, it would probably be that kind of feeling of gloating, "Oh, you've come to this day, kid."

But it was different from the past. Today, Chi's murderous aura lingered behind him for a long time and did not dissipate. It seemed that Chi's desire for revenge was particularly difficult to calm down today.

This is not good. If they don’t take some measures, they might be the ones who are in trouble.

The first step to saving yourself is to pretend that you don’t care about what just happened.

Liu An pretended to look up and exclaimed, "Ah, what a blue sky!"

Mo Ya also raised his head: "Ah, what a bright sun!"

His tone was affectionate, as if he was about to say a sonorous and powerful "Motherland, I love you" in the next second.

Wen Xun glanced above his head and suspected that they had mental problems.

"Are you two crazy? The sky is full of dark clouds and it's going to rain soon."

Liu An looked at him with a look of disappointment: "Wen Xun."

"Ok?"

"Some people have mouths for talking, but you don't. Please shut it."

Wen Xun: “…………”

Wen Xun felt very aggrieved.
