Chapter 12
One apple, you want to bribe me?
The senior student at the counter seemed to notice Jiang Ying and her companion's predicament and offered a suggestion.
"Contribute to the task?"
Jiang Ying and Liu Yue exchanged a glance.
They haven't heard of it yet.
Soon, someone nearby explained the situation to the two of them.
"Contribution tasks are tasks issued by the student council. As long as you can provide the items needed for the task, such as food, fresh water, resources, etc., you can get a reward!"
"There are other tasks too, such as going out fishing with a group. As long as you can bring back a supply box, you can get a pretty good reward!"
Jiang Ying was somewhat taken aback.
She hasn't been a formal member of the student council for very long.
I never expected the student council to come up with all these things.
It felt like we had suddenly stepped from a primitive society into a civilized society.
The senior student behind the counter explained with a smile.
"Yes, we really have to thank President Shen Ya and the mentors in the academy."
"If it weren't for them, we'd probably still be starving."
Jiang Ying learned about it from them.
It turns out that the student council's ideals were proposed by the former student council president, Shen Ya, right when the time traveler arrived.
On the second day, which is today, the student council was officially established with the support of teachers and students.
The student council members spontaneously gathered materials and upgraded the wooden boat they were standing on, making it the student council's "base".
The different types of tasks were discussed and issued by the student council leaders and mentors.
Because the students all possessed some kind of magical ability, they quickly managed to make it look quite professional.
Jiang Ying and Liu Yue were both amazed.
Because both of their abilities had been registered, tasks were quickly assigned to them after a check.
Jiang Ying's ability is healing, so she was assigned to the medical zone.
The medical area was a section of the ship's cabin where some of the injured students were located.
Some people accidentally cut their palms on fish scales, some got seasick, and others had fevers due to acclimatization issues, etc.
There are quite a few students here who are being treated.
However, only two girls have the ability to heal; the others are students with some medical experience.
Now, including Jiang Ying, there are three girls with healing abilities.
Jiang Ying took the first job on the boy whose palm had been cut by fish scales.
She tried to activate her abilities.
A soft green light enveloped the boy's palm, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That's incredible!
This is the power of healing arts!
Jiang Ying sighed inwardly.
After healing that patient, she took a breath and then went on to treat others.
The healing abilities have a wide range of applications, not only for injuries, but also for relieving discomfort symptoms such as dizziness.
It's simply a medical miracle.
Liu Yue also has her own specific tasks.
That is to produce as many vines as possible.
There are several students in the student council with similar abilities. After research, it was found that this vine is extremely resilient and suitable for various uses.
Whether it's used as a rope or for weaving a net.
Activating one's full potential is no easy task.
After urging the vines to spread for an unknown length of time, Liu Yue felt a sense of fatigue.
It felt like I'd run two laps around the track; my body was a little weak.
As soon as she stopped, a girl brought her bread and water.
"That's enough, senior! Take a rest if you're tired. The student council doesn't have any strict requirements."
"There will be a bonfire party here tonight, so remember to come and join us, senior!"
Liu Yue rubbed her temples to steady herself.
Bonfire party?
Although everything is thriving, is it really okay to start celebrating so early?
Liu Yue thought of the classmates who had died yesterday, and her mood instantly plummeted.
"Forget it, I'm too tired."
She politely declined the offer from the younger student.
The younger student didn't insist and even told her to get some rest.
When she returned from the student council, she was carrying the task reward.
A bag of gummy candies, an apple, a sandwich (buckwheat bread with ham and ketchup), and a bottle of Coke.
In this resource-scarce maritime world, the rewards for this mission are obviously quite generous.
When I returned to the area where the classroom was, my classmates stared at me with wide eyes.
"Apples? Liu Yue, where did you get those? You're eating fruit already!"
"A rich woman, huh?"
He took out some gummy candies and shared them with the girls in his class he was close to.
She searched around but couldn't find Li Yi.
Where is Li Yi?
She casually asked the girl next to her.
The girl thought for a moment, her expression somewhat troubled.
"Looks like he went swimming? I wasn't paying attention to him."
She seemed to have thought of something, and a strong gossip gleamed in her eyes.
"Why are you asking him why? Could it be...?"
Liu Yue rolled her eyes to the heavens.
You must be dreaming. That guy probably can't even be considered human anymore.
She was at most somewhat curious about Li Yi.
It's like a novel animal in a zoo.
What kind of being is Superman?
She sat on the raft, and the waves carried her away from the crowd.
"Li Yi! (Very quietly)"
She called out softly.
She wasn't stupid; she could tell that Li Yi didn't seem to like showing off his superhuman status in front of others.
But after calling out for a while, no one answered.
Seeing that she was some distance away from everyone, she raised her voice a little.
"Li Yi!!! (still speaking softly)"
The sea was calm and peaceful.
Liu Yue blushed slightly.
She felt like she was really crazy.
Although Li Yi said he was a superman, he never showed any superhuman abilities.
Could it be that Li Yi was lying to her?
Such a possibility is not nonexistent, and may even be quite high!
Liu Yue was so angry that her face turned red.
"Li Yi! You big liar!!!"
"I shouldn't have believed your nonsense!! If you're Superman, then I am..."
Li Yi suddenly emerged from the sea near her.
He looked at her with a frown.
"What are you yelling about?"
Liu Yue stopped talking immediately and blinked at Li Yi.
Li Yi's appearance at this moment was very strange.
Unlike others, he doesn't need to swim to stay afloat in the water.
Instead, it just stood there, as if it were on another layer of the seawater.
"Are you really Superman???"
Li Yi's expression was somewhat unfriendly.
He didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Yue, but she just kept talking and getting more and more excited.
"If you wanted to verify my identity as Superman, now you understand?"
"Don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary; attracting attention makes no difference to my life."
Li Yi coldly uttered two sentences and then prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Li Yi looked at her with some impatience.
Liu Yue awkwardly took out an apple and handed it over.
Do you want an apple?
Li Yi looked at her as if she were an idiot.
"Isn't it your sand cup?"
"You think you can bribe me with an apple?"
"If you do anything stupid again, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Li Yi's figure quickly disappeared.
In fact, Jiang Ying had also given him food before.
However, she was unaware of Li Yi's identity, so her purpose was pure and simply for his own good.
Li Yi did not reject such behavior.
He doesn't dislike kind people.
But Liu Yue, knowing his true identity, still tried to bribe him with an apple.
Are you crazy?
Why don't you use bananas to bribe Sun Wukong?
On the raft, Liu Yue looked indignant, but dared not say anything.
All I could do was take a big bite of the apple.
He muttered to himself.
"Why are you being so fierce? I only have one apple to offer you, and you won't take it. No wonder you have no friends..."
