Despite their astonishment, Lyanna remained calm, standing silently in the corner of the dormitory.

If you don't look closely, part of her body seems to blend into the shadows in the corner, and her beautiful face is also faintly visible.

Sulin had been observing Lyanna, assessing her strength.

Xiao Linlin looked at the two of them, and the more she looked, the more she couldn't help but think: "Why does this woman seem to have a temper a bit like my brother's? They're both very cold."

"It is my glory to be like the Holy Spirit."

Lyanna heard Xiao Linlin's mutterings and calmly expressed her opinion.

"You say my brother is the Holy Spirit?"

Xiao Linlin was very curious and seized the opportunity to ask, "Does this word have any special meaning?"

"The Holy Spirit is a being worthy of my respect."

Lyanna's answer was calm, and Xiao Linlin nodded thoughtfully.

"Leanna, right? Let me introduce you."

Jia Zhengyi coughed and said with the air of a senior, "This young lady is Xiao Linlin. My name is Jia Zhengyi. We will be teammates from now on, working under the boss."

"We arrived earlier than you, so we're considered seniors. If you have any questions in the future..."

As Jia Zhengyi spoke, his voice grew softer and softer until he fell silent.

He saw it; Lyanna's beautiful eyes were fixed on him. Although her expression was calm, the coldness in her eyes grew deeper, containing a strong warning.

Only after Jia Zhengyi shut up did she say calmly, "Please call me the All-Powerful Arrow, the Dragon Slayer, or the Forest Ranger. You cannot mention my name; it is an offense to me."

"Forehead..."

Jia Zhengyi scratched his head, muttering somewhat awkwardly, "What a strange custom... Okay, I choose to respect it."

Su Lin did not interrupt the conversation between his followers, but simply observed them silently from the side.

Without a doubt, Lyanna is a follower who is more combat-oriented, possessing extremely powerful and well-rounded combat abilities.

Her addition will allow the escape team formed by Su Lin and his followers to have more flexible and varied tactical arrangements, and can better provide backup for the team.

Xiao Linlin realized this too, and she playfully bumped Jia Zhengyi's arm: "Radar, you got slapped, didn't you? You were just worried that your brother would get a follower with overlapping functions with ours, but you didn't expect your brother to be so lucky! You got a top-tier follower right away!"

"That's really good. At least our positions can be maintained for a little longer."

Jia Zhengyi shrugged, then glanced at Lyanna and reminded her, "Well... this girl seems a bit unapproachable, she's really cold."

“She’s old enough to be your great-grandmother, not a little girl.”

Xiao Linlin shook her head and skipped towards the dormitory computer area: "I'm going to expand the dormitory rooms for the new students. Radar, you and your brother go outside and take a look. We just arrived in Zone C-1, so we should at least see what's different here."

"Of course, in my opinion, the waiting area environment is probably similar, and there is unlikely to be any significant difference."

Xiao Linlin naturally assigned tasks, and Su Lin nodded silently before turning and leaving the dormitory.

Even if Xiao Linlin didn't say anything, he still planned to explore the C-1 area. He wasn't in a hurry to start a new escape; he wanted to familiarize himself with the new environment first.

"Boss, wait for me!"

Jia Zhengyi followed closely behind, and when he passed by Lyanna, he deliberately took two extra steps.

I dare not provoke this great-grandmother; who knows if she might suddenly punish me for my "disrespect" just now.

Apart from Su Lin, no one in the team dares to give orders to this powerful newcomer follower. Even Xiao Linlin is still figuring out how to start a friendly first conversation with the newcomer.

After Su Lin left the dormitory, the familiar long corridor still came into view.

Walk through this corridor to its end and enter the spacious waiting area lobby.

The environment and furnishings of this hall are completely consistent with those of Zone C, which is very similar to the environments of the previous zones. This also corroborates Xiao Linlin's analysis: the level of a zone does not necessarily indicate the general environment of the waiting area.

If there is any difference, it might be that this place is empty, and no one has been promoted to area C-1 yet.

Su Lin was the first to escape, and his promotion match ended in the fastest time. None of the other 19 lucky players who escaped with him entered area C-1.

As of now, he is still unaware of the specific rules for promotion to the next division.

Su Lin took a deep breath and looked up at the [C-1 District] sign hanging high on the information wall in the hall, along with the district-level information that had been published year after year. Only his name was listed on the district-level leaderboard.

"System, are there any special conditions for promotion to Zone C-1?"

Su Lin suddenly asked a question, and soon a new information notification popped up in front of him.

[The conditions for promotion to Zone C-1: Survivors must be in a zone below C-1 and escape during a promotion match. Promotion to higher zones will be based on the specific performance of the escape.]

[If the original escape zone level is lower than Zone C, based on the quota of one hundred people, the top ten will enter Zone C-1, and the rest will enter Zones C2-C10 in order.]

[If the original escape zone level is lower than Zone C, and the number of promotion slots is less than 100, then only one person can enter Zone C, and the rest will enter Zones C2-C10 in sequence.]

[If a survivor who is promoted was originally in Zone C (not Zone C1), then the top ten players in the promoted match will definitely enter Zone C1; if the promoted survivor was already in Zone C1, they can move to a higher zone.]
