The changes in the ranking information immediately attracted the attention of many people. Some were whispering and pointing at the ranking panel, clearly discovering a more cruel unspoken rule through this clue: as long as you are strong enough, you can leave no way out for others.

"An interesting ranking."

Su Lin glanced at the ranking panel and smiled coldly.

This ranking information panel does not divide rankings by the number of badges, but continues to retain the ranking of assets.

Regardless of how many badges Su Lin has, his name is still number one, attracting the attention of almost every survivor in the entire region.

Those with more assets are more likely to be spied on and become targets for sabotage during promotion matches.

Su Lin scanned the top ten rankings. Luo Han had two badges, Yin Wunan had two, Wang Dingguo had two, and Xu Zhiyi had no badges... The top ten basically all had two badges each, which was very fast.

Xu Zhiyi was the only exception. Su Lin didn't think she was weak at all; this woman was probably plotting something again.

Su Lin didn't care, turned her gaze away, and looked at the notification message that appeared in front of her.

You have acquired a new badge type, and its effect can be triggered at any time.

[Luck Badge (Privilege)]: In this promotion match, you can choose to restore one of your own full-type mechanic abilities, or there is a 50% chance to cause a survivor to lose the restored mechanic ability; the privilege of a badge can only be used once. After use, the badge loses its privilege, but it can still be retained as proof of successful promotion.

"Brother, you're in luck!"

Huang Yi's voice came from beside him again. Su Lin looked over and saw the blond-haired boy smiling as he walked towards him.

He was patient, waiting for Su Lin and even trying to exchange pleasantries.

"stop."

Su Lin frowned and warned calmly, "Do you want to die?"

Su Lin's warning made Huang Yi's expression stiffen slightly. He scratched his head in surprise, then turned and left with an innocent and obedient look, appearing harmless.

He didn't know where he had offended Su Lin, but he certainly didn't dare ignore the warning from the number one on the list.

Clearly, the top-ranked player doesn't want to form any alliances.

In this promotion match, there was no interference from any local forces in the match world. The survivors were opponents to each other, and even temporary alliances were not solid.

Su Lin understood this principle deeply and was too lazy to contact anyone.

He looked down at the badge in his hand again, and without much hesitation, confirmed the mechanism power that needed to be restored.

"Attendant, Xiao Linlin."

Su Lin held the Luck Badge, watching as a colorful light burst forth from it and floated around him, the light dazzling, slowly coalescing into the figure of a small girl.

Logically speaking, if one were to recover a follower to help oneself, the Mimic would be the best choice, followed by Li Xingtian, while Xiao Linlin and Lyanna would only be in the third tier.

But for Su Lin, the prerequisite for the best option is that there are also mandatory options.

"elder brother!"

The light emanating from Xiao Linlin faded, and she quickly saw Su Lin beside her, calling out sweetly.

"Hmm, how are you feeling?"

Su Lin asked, and she shook her head: "Nothing bad has happened. Everyone is in the entourage settlement area. We were placed there after passing through the passage, but we can't leave."

"The followers can see the promotion rules and information this time, but they don't know where each master is at or how far the game is progressing."

As soon as Xiao Linlin finished speaking, Su Lin took out two luck badges and handed them to her: "Just got them."

"Brother is amazing."

Xiao Linlin offered a compliment, but it was clearly not sincere; she had long anticipated that obtaining the badge would not be difficult for Su Lin.

The key to this match lies elsewhere.

"Haven't they started fighting yet?"

Xiao Linlin held the badge without looking at it, but instead looked around the waiting area. Seeing that the crowd was still there, she murmured, "They really are the top team in Zone C. Some people are almost getting their third badge, and they can still keep their cool."

"You also think they'll win?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on Xu Zhiyi."

Xiao Linlin pointed to the information on the leaderboard. Without any delay after their reunion, she went straight to the point and analyzed for Su Lin: "The president didn't get a badge. She must be busy with something else."

"Brother, don't forget that before the second promotion match, the guild leader didn't even participate in many matches. She spent the whole month focusing on expanding the self-help group."

"This woman wouldn't do anything to waste her time; she definitely has her own purpose in every step she takes."

"Looking back now, it seems she knew the general outcome or rules of this promotion match beforehand, and she was planning ahead."

Xiao Linlin paused, then narrowed her eyes slightly: "Judging from the situation in Zone C, the Self-Rescue Association has quite a few members, firmly holding the reputation of being the number one force among the survivors."

"In the internal battlefield where everyone is fighting against each other, such a naturally stable survivor faction is almost destined to dominate this promotion match."

"Even if someone could think of this, there's no way to resist the Self-Salvation Association. This force is too large. Even if they can't win, they can drag most people down with them. No one dares to be the first to stand up against her."

"Because of her presence, the pace of the game slows down. No one would be foolish enough to let the self-rescue team benefit from the fight."

Xiao Linlin paused, then looked at Su Lin: "So, for those who are not members of the Self-Help Association, the key to breaking this deadlock lies with you, brother."

"Or to be more precise, your attitude toward Xu Zhiyi directly determines who will win and who will lose in this promotion."
