Xi Xi handed over Tritans' six-piece set, "Shield Wall," to Cheng's mother.

As one of the core logistics figures of the entire team, Cheng Ma received this honor for the first time, and her expression immediately became serious. She hurriedly urged Cheng Xu to teach her the key points of mastering skill cooldown intervals.

As for Sallyman, she has consistently made excuses regarding the distribution of supplies.

This is because she herself possesses the six-piece "Norse" set, whose effect is "Melee Master," which greatly increases melee weapon damage and critical hit rate. This complements Li Jinshao's "Ranged Warrior" set, creating a synergy between the two.

...

That said, today's attack on Clinton's H team was Yoo Eun-hee's first time personally taking to the field, so she was inevitably a bit more nervous than in the previous days' drills.

"Sigh, I still can't quite control the distance..." Liu Enxi said with some guilt afterward, feeling that she still needed to practice more.

If it weren't for the bloodline bonus of "Covering One's Ears While Stealing a Bell" that allowed her to "steal" twice in a row and offset the mid-game skill cooldown, she would probably have dragged the entire team down with her today, getting riddled with bullets!

However, because of this action, in addition to the key, Yoo Eun-hee also "stole" something extraordinary.

It was a warm, pebble-sized gemstone, deep orange-red in color!

The gemstone's surface shimmers with an intensely fiery luster, and within it, faint veins seem to pulsate slowly—this is a relic of the Nordic culture imbued with power.

“This makes a perfect eight-piece set! It came so easily!” Liu Yunyan glanced at Sallyman and laughed.

Aside from the six-piece set that comes with it, Sallyman herself possesses a seventh relic of the Nordic culture, called the "Fragment of Bark from the World Tree of the Nordic Peoples".

When Valerie locked her in the dark room, it was this item that allowed her to briefly break free from the restraining spell's restrictions and thus send a warning message to Xi Xi.

The World Tree refers to Yggdrasil in Norse mythology, which is said to protect its holders from disease, aging, and mental manipulation.

This cultural relic is a fragment of tree bark. Although it does not have the divine power described in the original story, it can temporarily resist the attack of the talisman, which is already a very powerful treasure!

Sallyman stared at the still-warm orange-red gem in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then turned her gaze to Xi Xi.

She was unaware of the eight-piece bloodline bonus before this. The main reason she started collecting the Nordic cultural relics was because Xi Xi had given her the only cultural relic, , as a birthday gift during the tunnel incident...

“That’s right! You’re mixed-race, so you should inherit your parents’ bloodline.” Xi Xi finally realized.

If she had remembered this earlier, she would have generously given Sallyman her "Fragment of the Norse Thor's Girdle".

A look of embarrassment crossed Sallyman's face; she felt somewhat ashamed.

After all, she had only known everyone for a short time, and this was her first time participating in a team activity!

Despite feeling somewhat guilty, Shaliman ultimately accepted the gift with gratitude, spurred on by the crowd's enthusiastic encouragement.

Just as everyone expected, Sallyman's body did indeed contain the bloodline bonus of , and this bloodline bonus was surprisingly good!

[Congratulations to the adventurer for obtaining the 8-piece set bloodline bonus !]

The system notification sounded in her ears, and Sallyman repeated it to everyone.

This bloodline bonus means she can better hide her presence in battle, making her less easily detected by enemies. For melee classes, this is undoubtedly a huge advantage.

In addition, with the Frostblade in Sallyman's hand that can briefly stun and reduce the agility of hostile creatures, once she launches an attack during a standoff, the enemy will probably be powerless to fight back and will have no choice but to surrender!

That's incredible!

Just as everyone was feeling sentimental, the system notification sounded from the public chat activity interface—it was a message that the competition was about to end.

Ahead of the vehicle, the puppet manatee continued its tireless race, while Xi Xi and her group sat around the dining table and simultaneously activated the light screen.

"So annoying... why does the broadcast always stop at mealtimes!" Cheng Xu complained, his hand, which was about to pick up some food, froze in mid-air, seemingly even his appetite was affected.

In contrast, Xi Xi appeared much calmer. She smiled and urged everyone to ignore the light screen and eat while it was still hot.

Meanwhile, Sallyman couldn't sit still. She was overjoyed and couldn't wait for the competition to end.

The event required that all teams could only withdraw and not join during the entire mileage accumulation period, which prevented her from truly joining Xi Xi's team, and she always felt that this was not quite right.

Now that the competition was finally coming to an end, Sallyman couldn't wait any longer.

The final betting began quickly, and as usual, everyone cast their votes for "Shizhu" (拾箸). Meanwhile, the public chat was in an uproar—

It is rumored that internal strife has broken out within Clinton's organization, with a heated argument reportedly erupting in the next room due to a poor handover.

Xi Xi glanced at it quickly and found that the root of the infighting was that a Clinton team claimed to have been attacked by a mutated shark, suffered heavy losses, and requested a postponement of the handover.

And this team was none other than Team H, the same team whose submarine they had taken from them today.

"Good heavens, we've become mutated sharks!" Cheng Xu, who was initially a little nervous, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"So that fat old man was a philanthropist in the original world, tsk tsk..." Liu Yunyan pouted and complained, "You can't judge a book by its cover!"

As we were chatting, Fu Zhijing started compiling and reporting statistics.
