Chapter 278 Misunderstanding and Truth

"Oh, why do I always feel that today's breakfast is better than yesterday's?" Chu Tian said with satisfaction while holding the breakfast plate.

"Because you didn't taste the essence of breakfast yesterday." Zhang Meng laughed as he ate, "You were splashed with coffee when you took the first bite."

"Coffee? Oh, by the way, I almost didn't drink it." Chu Tian couldn't help laughing when he thought of the embarrassment yesterday, "At that time, I was thinking whether it would be better to add some sugar."

"By the way, yesterday's event ended quite late." Wang Yue said, "Do you have any special arrangements today?"

"Special arrangements?" Ye Li looked confused. "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I heard about it too." Qin Feng interrupted, "There is a school-wide treasure hunt this afternoon. I heard it is a new traditional activity of the college."

"Treasure hunt?" Chu Tian's eyes lit up, "Then we must participate in it."

"I heard this activity is very interesting." Zhang Meng also said excitedly, "But we need to understand the rules."

"The rules should be announced before the event." Wang Yue said while eating, "Let's prepare as soon as possible."

After breakfast, everyone returned to the dormitory to pack up and prepare for the treasure hunt in the afternoon. While everyone was busy, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the dormitory.

"Hey, why is it so noisy outside?" Chu Tian asked curiously, "Let's go and take a look."

We walked out of the dormitory and found many classmates gathered in the square. In the middle of the square there was a huge box with the words "Treasure Hunt" on it.

"Everyone, please pay attention. Today's treasure hunt is about to begin." The academy's broadcast sounded, "Each group will receive a clue. The team that finds all the clues and completes the task will receive a grand prize."

"Wow, this big prize must be very tempting." Ye Li said excitedly, "We must strive to get it."

"Then we have to prepare well." Qin Feng said, "Each group should have a task list, and we need to assign the tasks."

After the details of the event continued to be announced on the radio, everyone learned the basic rules of the treasure hunt: each group will receive a task list, which lists some target items and clues. The team that finds these target items and completes the task will win.

"We have to find our task list first." Zhang Meng said, looking around, "I think it should be in that box."

"I'll go get it." Chu Tian volunteered, "Everyone wait here, I'll go take a look."

Chu Tian walked towards the box and prepared to pick up the task list. Next to the box, he met a classmate who looked nervous.

"Are you also joining the treasure hunt?" Chu Tian asked with a smile.

“Yes, I just got here,” the student said. “I haven’t found my to-do list yet.”

"Don't worry, we should be able to find it soon." Chu Tian comforted, "Everyone is looking for it."

While Chu Tian was chatting with that classmate, the box was suddenly opened and several task lists were distributed. Chu Tian got a task list and returned to the team. Everyone couldn't wait to check the tasks.

"There are several target items listed on the task list this time." Qin Feng said, "We have to search for them in every corner of the academy."

"Okay, let's split up." Wang Yue suggested, "This way we can find the target faster."

Everyone quickly divided into several groups, each responsible for a task. Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were responsible for finding the "ancient college nameplate", Wang Yue and Ye Li were responsible for finding the "lost documents", and Qin Feng was responsible for finding the "mysterious gem".

"Let's go to the library and look for it." Wang Yue and Ye Li began to search in the library. "These documents may be hidden in a corner."

At the same time, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng searched for ancient nameplates in different corners of the campus.

"It looks like these nameplates shouldn't be too difficult to find," Chu Tian said, "but this academy is so big, it's still a bit tricky."

"That's right." Zhang Meng agreed, "But we can start by looking at some old buildings in the college's history."

Just when everyone was busy, they suddenly heard a scream. Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran towards the direction of the sound.

"What happened?" Chu Tian ran to where the sound came from and saw a classmate standing in the grass with a look of fear on his face.

"I found something here, but it looks like it was messed up by a prank." The classmate said, pointing to a box in the bushes.

"Prank? Let's take a look." Zhang Meng walked closer to the box, opened it, and found a pile of fake gems and broken documents inside.

"What's going on?" Chu Tian frowned, "Is this what we are looking for?"

"It looks like someone deliberately did a prank," the student said. "I don't think these fake things should be on our task list."

"We have to confirm it quickly." Qin Feng came over and checked the things in the box. "These things do not meet our mission requirements at all."

Everyone decided to go back to the square and report the situation to the teachers. The teachers checked and confirmed that someone was indeed playing a prank during the event.

"Thank you for your feedback, we will deal with this issue immediately." A teacher said, "Please continue to look for your target items, we will ensure the fairness of the activity."

Everyone continued to return to the task, trying to find the real target object. Although there were some minor incidents, everyone was not discouraged.

"This activity is really full of twists and turns." Wang Yue sighed, "But we will definitely find the target item."

"That's right, stay calm and keep searching." Qin Feng said, "We will definitely be able to complete the task."

After a period of hard work, everyone finally found all the target objects. Everyone brought the objects they found back to the square and reported the results to the teacher.

"Congratulations, you have successfully completed the treasure hunt." A teacher said, "You performed well and received a special reward."

"Thank you, teacher." Everyone said happily, "This activity is really interesting."

"Yes, although there were some minor setbacks in the middle, we still completed the task." Chu Tian said with a smile, "I hope the next event will be more exciting."

Everyone ended the day in a relaxed and happy atmosphere and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. Although there were some misunderstandings in today's treasure hunt, their efforts and teamwork ultimately allowed them to successfully complete the task.

"Today is really full of surprises." Ye Li said, "We have gained a lot from this event."

"No matter what happens, we can overcome difficulties together." Qin Feng said, "We will definitely be able to meet the challenges in the future."

Everyone summarized and discussed today's activities and looked forward to more adventures and opportunities in the future. They knew that as long as they united, they could meet any challenge.
