Chapter 44 Battle of Zhuolu
After watching the afternoon game, all four of them felt that they had gained a lot.
As the sun sets, today's preliminary promotion competition has come to an end, and people in the audience are leaving one after another. They are still not satisfied and are waiting for tomorrow to come.
But for the protagonists, today is not over yet.
Therefore, after the officer stretched his limbs and left the seat where he had been sitting all day, he met four familiar faces at the stairs.
"Hey, what's the matter? Did you come to me to ask for compliments after your successful promotion?"
Patting the wrinkled hem of his clothes, he glanced at the people who were blocking his way and preventing him from leaving get off work, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately praised:
"Well done! You are worthy of being our most promising superpower team. You defeated the opponent easily. Commander, I was watching you intently from above. I will reward you for your continued hard work tomorrow."
"Really?" Ye Yunhe snorted coldly, lengthened the tone, and glanced at his pocket meaningfully.
"Then why do I remember that when I looked up at you, sir, someone never made eye contact with me, but instead kept his head down, and I don't know what he was looking at?"
"yes--"
Si Yu'an also joined in the conversation. He looked at his superior who had a calm expression on his face, reached out his hand and hooked the other's suit pocket, revealing the mobile phone hidden inside.
He sighed softly and shook his head.
"Sir, you don't want others to know that you were slacking off during the Battle of Zhuolu, do you?"
"ah."
The officer read it aloud, then held his pocket, with a sad look on his face as if to say "my son's rebellion has broken my heart", and he almost took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.
"I never thought that there would be a day when I would be stabbed in the back by the children I raised. People are really cold and heartless. I even specifically informed the young boy Qi Heng in advance, but in the end no one understood my good intentions. It's so miserable, so miserable."
Qi Heng, who was named, pointed at himself in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"Stop acting." Lin Muyu had no choice but to interrupt the other party's perfunctory acting. "As the one who reminded us, you must know the inside story. Since we are related to this matter, we must have the right to know."
What does "informed in advance" mean? It's obvious that he wanted to make fun of them. Who knows if this person took photos on purpose.
Several people found a secluded place to talk.
The officer stopped performing and returned to normal, folded his arms, and described vividly what had happened a few days ago in the speechless eyes of everyone. He talked about the envelope airdropped in daylight and the subsequent stages of cooperation, sometimes pausing for a few breaths at key points to prolong the audience's curiosity.
After hearing the third pause, Ye Yunhe took a deep breath, and the desire to kick his superior reached its peak.
It was like her anger level was at full throttle. Every time she couldn't stand it any longer, the other person would continue talking smoothly until her anger level dropped slightly.
Nothing ever happens more than three times. Ye Yunhe thought about it, taking notes carefully while silently accumulating strength.
"At that time, the senior executive said that you must tell us your abilities in detail, otherwise this cooperation will be too threatening to us!"
"Then a lady stood up and apologized to Bai Zhou, saying that the senior executive was wary of outsiders with special abilities whose backgrounds he didn't know, and begged him not to take it seriously."
Unfortunately, the commander seemed to sense the murderous intent of the audience and did not continue his pause technique this time. Ye Yunhe failed to kick out after all.
"Bai Zhou just smiled and nodded. I'll omit the words that angered the higher-ups. Anyway, he answered his question very straightforwardly about his special abilities."
"It is related to what you guessed. It is indeed a function control type. It can control the carrier's thoughts and behaviors. The prerequisite for use is contact and eye contact. As for whether it is true or not... we don't know. At least those who like to make sarcastic remarks are much more honest."
Si and An applauded sincerely, giving the dedicated storyteller the due honor.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. It is a rare skill to be able to speak for such a long time to summarize something that can be summarized in a few simple sentences."
Qi Heng also clapped in cooperation. I feel that this person's selfishness is heavier than a ball of light. If I were not the person involved, I would not have been able to tell that this person was deliberately piling up words to avoid the main point.
Alas, who knows if he really didn't lie about his supernatural powers. It’s a pity that it can’t be shown in the Battle of Zhuolu. After all, Lin Du, who was hesitant to speak, was still in the audience, and he couldn’t just keep reading the messages sent by the other party on his mobile phone without replying.
Lin Muyu, who was standing by, fell into deep thought at the beginning. After a while, he raised his eyes and said, "Sir, can you tell us the probability of daytime that you estimated?"
"Well." The officer pondered for a moment, remembering the feeling of having his energy drained away in an instant that day, "It's surprising, right? I didn't figure out anything."
"In theory, with my ability, I can estimate the probability of various events. Therefore, I am responsible for arranging teams to clean up dungeons. No matter what level of dungeon, I can successfully estimate the probability and reduce the mortality rate."
"But when I tried to estimate the events related to Bai Day..." He spread his hands and shrugged, "I only got the answer of unknown, and lost all my energy."
"......"
Everyone fell silent, not knowing what expression to make.
Bai Zhou took the initiative to show goodwill to the government, proposed cooperation, and even took out a supernatural item that was powerful enough to cause a huge storm. Was it just to legitimately join the Battle of Zhuolu and find the flaws in the cult?
Even if it wasn't that simple, no one would refuse his proposal. Even without using his powers, he can still manipulate the emotions of others.
After learning about this person, the current situation seems to have undergone a subtle shift. It seems that everything is developing in a good direction, but who can see the turbulent waves in the dark? Is everything they did really right?
"At least this will be an opportunity." Qi Heng suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. He looked into his companion's slightly confused eyes, his face as calm as ever.
"Just move forward with peace of mind. No one knows whether it will be good or bad until the end comes."
——
The next morning at eight o'clock, the intermediate group battle started on time.
The opponents to be fought this time are from Yongxi Guild. They are a four-man team that has fought together before and are more difficult to deal with than the opponents at the initial stage.
The third game of the competition is scheduled for the morning. The protagonists are reviewing the file that Qi Heng sent to the group. On it, you can even find the supernatural information of all the contestants. The details are so detailed that people want to know the boss's contact information.
Lin Muyu slid the screen, thoughtfully.
He naturally knew that the boy was hiding many mysteries, and there was nothing wrong with that, as everyone had their own secrets.
On the contrary, what he cared about was the other party's inexplicable trust and the gradually disappearing vigilance. From the time they've been together, it can be seen that the boy keeps a distance from strangers and is highly suspicious of them, which is consistent with his distant and cold appearance.
Lin Muyu subconsciously became suspicious. Looking back, Qi Heng seemed to have met them at that point in the daytime. Coupled with a series of events that happened, it always touched his nerves unconsciously.
As he was thinking, he sensed unfamiliar footsteps coming from behind. His fingers paused, and he and his teammates looked in the direction of the sound.
What I saw was a foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes. He had deep facial features, a tight-fitting suit, and even expensive leather shoes. He nodded toward them.
The other person stopped at a suitable distance, put his hands on his chest, bowed slightly, and had a polite posture, like a gentleman walking out of a book.
"Hello, sorry to bother you. I am Calint from the Dawn Guild."
"He is also the captain of the mid-level team. He is here on behalf of all the team members to make a request for cooperation."
cooperate.
When the three heard this word, their eyebrows couldn't help but jump, and they felt that the appearance rate of these two words recently was a bit too high.
As the team leader, Lin Muyu was the first to stand up and return the greeting. He reached out his hand and shook it briefly with Calint, then asked:
"I don't know what you mean by cooperation. Can you tell me more about it?"
Si and An brought over some extra empty stools and raised their hands to signal the gentlemen in suits and leather shoes who were also participating in this competition to sit down and chat.
Calint thanked him and took his seat gracefully.
"When I say cooperation, I mean team competition."
"Perhaps it's a little early to talk about this now, but I think this is the most appropriate time. After all, tomorrow's high-level battle will consume more energy, and it's not suitable to talk before or after."
"There are many people in the team competition. If you fight alone, you may be outflanked and eliminated by others. Therefore, after discussion, we chose to propose cooperation to your team."
"I see." Lin Muyu replied in a gentle voice, "But the outcome of the match is still undecided. Aren't you worried that we will become opponents on stage?"
The other two nodded seriously in agreement.
Seeing this, Calint smiled and replied calmly: "You don't need to worry about this. I have predicted it to specialized psychics before. The conclusion is that it will not happen."
“That’s one of the reasons why we chose to cooperate.”
"......"
The prophecy ability is so expensive, just use it for this.
However, due to the previous record of "using precious dropped objects to send letters in broad daylight", the few people were not too shocked by this expensive behavior. There was just a brief silence because I didn't know what to say.
At this time, Qi Heng came back with bread and drinks.
He stopped at the door, looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared, then looked at his teammates who were looking at him quietly. His mind quickly turned and he understood what was happening. He calmly walked over under the gazes of the four people.
Qi Heng let Si and An take the things in his arms. He looked out carefully at Calint, who was dressed in a suit and tie, and asked tentatively:
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Calint? I saw a lady outside looking for you. She might be your teammate. Judging from the distance, she should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the protagonist group of Calint who was looking at the opposite side noticed that the other party's face suddenly froze, and the perfect smile on the corner of the mouth also froze.
Soon, he returned to normal, but his tone sounded like he was gritting his teeth, and he strode out while speaking:
"I'm your teammate. Thank you for reminding me."
"Well, for some reason, I won't stay long. Here is my contact information. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. Bye."
Leaving behind a card and a farewell that dissipated into the air, the gentlemanly Calint strode away from the place as if a ghost was chasing him, a completely different attitude from when he came.
Counting the time, he had stayed with the protagonist group for less than five minutes. At first glance, it seemed like a rough request for cooperation.
The four of them looked at each other and were amazed at how fast this person came and went.
