Chapter 825: Chapter 844: Taking You Into Q3 Planet
Yellow sand covered the ground.
The cameras were already rolling on the way there. Regardless of the situation, with so many people waiting, they decided to start the live stream early to capitalize on the initial wave of traffic.
The cameraman adjusted the angle and microphone of the little robot. With the decaying planet and the RATTLING hovercar as her background, Xiao Xiao sat up straight and flashed her signature on-camera smile.
Ting Mo sat off to the side, somewhat curious.
"Hello, viewers. I’m Xiao Xiao, the reporter for this special interview on the fourteen-school joint practical at Q3. After a long day and night of traveling, we’ve finally arrived at our destination, the Q3 Planet.
"Currently, we’re on the outskirts of the main city, riding in a local hovercar toward the joint practical site of the fourteen schools: Q3 Central Hospital."
Because this topic was trending high on the popularity charts, a massive crowd of viewers immediately flooded into the live stream the moment it started. Since being a non-combat field reporter didn’t require absolute seriousness, Xiao Xiao occasionally interacted with the netizens in the live chat.
The audience took in Q3’s dilapidated environment. As the hovercar gradually made its way toward the inner city, a dense, dark crowd of people appeared in the camera’s frame.
Even Xiao Xiao was startled by the sight, and the live chat, needless to say, exploded.
"???"
"What am I looking at..."
"Even the planetary destruction blockbuster I watched before didn’t have this many people, right?"
"Are they laying siege to the hospital?"
A massive question mark hung in everyone’s mind. Ultimately, it was the driver who answered their question. He explained that since it was a free clinic, these were all patients coming for medical treatment.
"There are this many patients?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Yeah," the driver said, completely used to it. "Q3 has a huge population. Having this many patients is completely normal."
That wasn’t it at all. Having this many patients might be normal, but having this many people lining up all at once here was incredibly abnormal!
But before she could ask anything else, the hovercar flew past with a WHOOSH, and they had more or less arrived at the hospital.
The driver had to return to report for duty. At the rear of the hospital, the local garrison was already waiting to receive them. Under the garrison’s guidance, the group first settled into their accommodations before going to interview the local leaders, the hospital director, and Dean Zhu’s team.
Running through preliminary interviews with all the major figures was part of the standard procedure. This segment was not broadcast live; it had to be edited before being added to the special feature. Only after all the bigwigs were interviewed did they get into the main feature—the very topic everyone on the Star Network was so curious about: the evaluation and the medical treatments.
For this, they needed to interview the professionals.
Dean Zhu refused to do a lengthy interview, so the specific details were introduced by the dean from Haiyun Star. Asking why this event was held and what significance it carried was highly official content. After getting a basic understanding, Xiao Xiao asked about the rankings. "We saw some students on the Star Network disclose the existence of a leaderboard. Is that true?"
"It’s true," the dean replied.
"I heard there’s a student on the leaderboard who is leaving everyone else in the dust—"
"That is also true."
"Could we take a look at the leaderboard then?" she asked.
This wasn’t a secret, so naturally, it was allowed. After waking up the AC intelligence, the student rankings quickly appeared on the screen to the right. There were four columns on the leaderboard. Between the top and the rest of the pack, the numerical gap truly left everyone else in the dust.
However, Xiao Xiao noticed something. "These are the rankings from three days ago. Are there no real-time rankings for today?" she asked.
"The students have been resting for the past three days, so the rankings haven’t been updated."
Xiao Xiao let out a gasp of surprise. "But when we arrived, we saw many patients still going in and out of the hospital."
"That is a free clinic organized voluntarily by the students."
