After Truman finished his match, he played several more matches.
The morning's round of 32 matches have finally come to an end.
After lunch, the afternoon's Round of 16 matches will begin immediately.
Taking advantage of the mealtime, a large group of reporters somehow barged into the athletes' canteen.
Lin Nai and the others were having a nice meal when suddenly more than a dozen microphones were shoved in front of him, and a bunch of cameras were clicking away around their table.
"Lin Nai, congratulations on advancing to the top 16! Would you like to say something about your achievement?"
"Lin Nai, as an Apostle yourself, what are your thoughts on Mu Xun, the other Apostle in this competition?"
"After watching his match this morning, how much do you think your skill level is compared to his? If you were to face him later, what are your chances of winning?"
"Besides being an inheritor of divine power, Mu Xun is also a disciple of Guigu. How many moves do you think you can last against him?"
"Linnai, please answer this..."
Linnaeus: "..."
Hey! You people!
A referee walked over and said coldly, "This is the athletes' private dining room. Media reporters are not allowed here. All of you, get out!"
The dozen or so television reporters had no choice but to slink away after being driven away by several referees.
But another female reporter was still lingering around Lin Nai, winking at him seductively: "Lin Nai, if you'd like to be interviewed alone, you can come to my room tonight. Here's my phone number..." As she spoke, she slipped a business card into Lin Nai's pocket.
Linnaeus: "..."
"You son of a bitch!"
The referee, with a toothpick in his mouth, walked over, kicked her, and said sternly, "Get lost, get lost!"
The female reporter glared at him, then slunk away...
"My God..."
Ah Guang muttered, "These media outlets are really crazy..."
“This is normal.” Hua Lingze shrugged. “Once a superhuman gains fame and potential, this is how it is. Reporters and the media will drive you crazy. I’m used to it, and Lin Nai, you should probably get used to it soon too.” He, Chu Men, and Meng Feifei continued to eat with Lin Nai and the others.
Meng Feifei pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "I did defeat the second seed from the Yin Yang Academy, so why do those reporters seem to have no interest in me at all?"
“The battles of others are meaningless to these media outlets,” Tang Hongshan said. “For them, the biggest topic this year is definitely the two apostles, Lin Nai and Mu Xun.”
"Sigh..." Meng Feifei leaned back, resting his arms behind his head, and said dejectedly, "Bad timing..."
"By the way, Lin Nai," Lin Yuxi suddenly asked, "who is your opponent in the next round of 16 match?"
Lin Nai tilted his head back, took a sip of soup, swallowed it, and then said calmly, "The academy directly under the Gene Company, Monkey."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hua Lingze smiled and said, "We've already reached the top 16. The remaining contestants are all elites among elites. There are almost no weak ones left. It's practically impossible to avoid strong opponents now."
“Exactly.” Meng Feifei took a bite of a croissant and nodded vigorously, convinced of the point. “Besides, those people from the gene company can’t cheat with drugs in the illusion anymore. With Brother Nai’s abilities, dealing with a little monkey is a piece of cake…”
Linna remained silent.
He lowered his head and ate the food on his plate, his mind preoccupied with other thoughts.
For him, the next game is no longer his biggest concern.
Lin Nai slowly raised her head and looked into the distance.
That blue-eyed imposter referee was standing right at the restaurant entrance.
He looked like an ordinary referee standing guard there.
Last night, he tricked the chief referee into going to the surveillance room. Although Sun Shuai and his team eventually caught him, no one knows what he did on the computer...
Lin Nai worried that, given the technological level of the Black Angel civilization, even if he did something on the computer in the Sky Eye Room, Sun Shuai and the others probably wouldn't be able to detect it at all...
'Looks like I'll have to do it again...' Lin Nai sighed softly to herself.
I realized I was really playing both father and mother, having to worry about everything...
......
A table in the corner of the restaurant.
The team leaders from the gene company, Brother Zhang and Brother Li, along with the remaining three contestants, Bai Shou, Monkey, and Liang Ao, were all eating here.
Brother Li observed the situation at Lin Nai's table from afar and whispered, "Monkey, in the next match, you'll be facing off against Lin Nai. Do you have any strategies?"
The monkey next to him did not respond.
Brother Li turned his head and saw that the monkey had fallen asleep leaning against the chair.
Brother Li: "......"
"Forget it, let him sleep." Brother Zhang sighed. "Actually, he's been pretty lucky. Now that he's in the top 16, it's impossible to perfectly avoid all those strong opponents. At least Monkey ran into Lin Nai, not Mu Xun..."
"The problem now is that the competition is about to end, but we haven't obtained Linnai and Muxun's extraordinary genetic data yet."
"And now our only chance to get close to them is in the illusion, but even if we obtain their genetic samples in the illusion, we can't bring them into reality..."
As Zhang Ge spoke, he sighed again.
“Brother Zhang, why don’t you leave this to me?” Liang Ao suddenly said from the side.
Brother Zhang raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "You?"
"Yes," Liang Ao said in a low voice, "I know I can't win the championship, and I can't win anyway, so you can just give me this task from the company. Just tell me what to do!"
After pondering for a while, Brother Zhang realized that it seemed he had no choice but to trust him now.
Otherwise, they will all be punished if they fail to complete the tasks assigned by the company!
“…Alright.” Brother Zhang said, “To obtain their extraordinary genetic data, we need to take their blood samples, hair samples, and most importantly, their soul power samples! The soul power samples here do not refer to the soul power they unleash during battle, but rather the pure soul power samples that do not erupt from their bodies and exist within the nodes of their internal soul power meridians… To obtain these, we must make close contact with them.”
