Xinghui Dream Plaza
Previously, the square stipulated that teams of no more than six people could be formed. Normally, when forming a team, a relatively large number of people would be considered.
Shu Shenan nodded: "Yes, I thought that having more people might not necessarily be an advantage, and my sister doesn't like dealing with strangers. Of course, it's different from you. They are all acquaintances on the same floor."
If we consider the factor of mutual coordination between the team members, it would be better for them to just have two people who are completely familiar with each other to challenge the level.
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Fu who was standing outside.
"That's good, are you okay with your injury?"
Ding Can saw that there were large bruises on his face, but there was no blood oozing out at the moment, so he didn't know what the actual situation was.
Shu Shenan touched his nose, tilted his head and whispered, admitting first: "Actually, it's because I just blocked unnecessary damage for her, and she's a little angry now."
No wonder he had that expression. Ding Can understood. Shu Yubei must be feeling half guilty and half distressed. Anyone would feel a little bit uncomfortable if someone close to him got hurt while protecting him.
Shu Yubei finally spoke at this time, his expression no longer as cold as before: "I accept your protection, but the premise is that you can guarantee that you will not get hurt."
She looked at Shi Yan and knew her original occupation: "Can you help take a look at my brother's injuries? He just fell to the ground and hit his head."
"Okay." Shi Yan nodded, but now she couldn't see the inside of the brain due to lack of advanced medical equipment, so she could only make a judgment based on the ordinary methods of observation, smelling, questioning and palpation.
Approaching Shu Shennan, she used her good hand to check the back of her head for any obvious injuries or lumps.
Yu Fu looked at Shu Shenan who was standing beside him with a concerned look on his face, and suddenly remembered the person he had heard them mention after entering here.
He asked Gao Wenwen in a low voice, "Is this the person Ding Can mentioned before, the one you care about?"
But he remembered very clearly that he was looking for someone in the crowd at that time.
"Shh! Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense." Gao Wenwen almost covered his mouth subconsciously, and the tips of his ears flushed. He looked in the direction of Shu Yubei to observe her reaction.
Seeing that the other party was concerned about his brother's injury and didn't seem to hear these words, he felt relieved.
But Yu Fu had once dabbled in human psychology when he was bored in the office, so he understood that this expression was actually an attempt to cover up something.
I shouldn't ask any further questions at this time, so I just nodded and decided to keep silent.
Gao Wenwen, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed and expectant, wondering if Shu Yubei would also be happy to see them here.
After Shi Yan's examination and confirmation that Shu Shenan would not have any physical problems for the time being, more than one person present felt relieved.
We can finally return to the normal mode of reminiscing.
Shu Shenan chatted for a while about what happened in the previous few blocks, and suddenly his speech became intermittent. He looked at Ding Can, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
At first, Ding Can was puzzled as to why he had such an expression, but after thinking about it, he vaguely understood what the other party meant.
He must have been concerned about the presence of the stranger Yu Fu, probably thinking that he was pulled over to make up the numbers when they first entered the square, so he had less trust in him when discussing some topics.
She turned her head to look at Yu Fu, revealing a comforting smile, and then said to Shu Shenan: "I can guarantee that he is trustworthy. We met in the training camp building."
Although I cannot directly tell them that Yu Fu is the dormitory manager, I still need to give them the necessary explanation.
Since they knew each other before, that made it easy. Shu Shennan didn't beat around the bush: "I want to ask, have you collected all three fragments?"
"Already." Ding Can gave the answer.
Shu Shenan's expression relaxed slightly: "We have gathered all the people, but my sister said that this level may not be so easy to pass."
"Now is the time to be most vigilant." Xia Jialian said.
At the same time, all teams had entered the judgment area, and a familiar broadcast voice appeared in the sky.
[All team members, please stand in your designated area. We will provide further instructions shortly.]
Shu Shennan nodded and said, "Then we'll go first. We'll see what happens next."
The brother and sister's team marked out an area not too far away from them, a distance where they could clearly see each other's movements.
Some team members who were still confused at the back also moved into their respective positions.
But by looking at the different expressions on these people's faces, you can roughly tell whether they have obtained positive results in the previous blocks.
"The situation may be worse than we thought." Based on preliminary observations alone, Xia Jialian felt that only a few people had truly found all the fragments.
At this moment, above the ground where they were standing, a barrier similar to a hydrogel film was projected from bottom to top.
The speed was very fast. Gao Wenwen touched it and found that it was indeed a solid layer, and it had some elasticity. It could be pushed forward about ten centimeters and then would not move anymore.
Unless the barrier is reopened, they can't get out.
This means that the system is preventing them from going out for some reason.
[A challenge mission is about to begin. Teams that don't have three fragments can choose a team from the assembled teams to challenge. You only have one chance.]
[For challengers, if the challenge is successful, all fragments will be obtained. If the challenge fails, it will be considered a copy failure and cannot be cleared.]
[The same applies to the challenged team. Only complete victory in at least one challenge can clear the level.]
When the broadcast ended, the crowd began to discuss.
Shi Yan frowned: "This is too unfair to us. What if many people choose our team at the same time?"
The system will not divide the opposing teams into teams, so some teams may be selected many times at the same time, or some teams may be lucky enough not to be selected and advance directly.
Looking at the last minute countdown hanging above their heads, a long list of team numbers has appeared on the barriers of those teams that have not yet collected the fragments.
They have the right to choose, and they only have one chance. Once they choose, they cannot change it.
"We are the passive party. Besides, the system doesn't directly explain how the confrontation will be conducted."
Xia Jialian paid attention to the areas of other teams around him. At this time, he could actually roughly see the proportions. Only the team that had not collected all the fragments had golden characters on the barrier.
At first glance, it seems that almost everyone is like this. There are far fewer people with clean barriers.
It is unexpected that the team that should have been in an advantageous position would face such a dangerous situation at the last moment.
Yu Fu felt the malicious looks coming from all around him, and he knew that the situation he would encounter next would require him to give it his all.
This is different from encountering other NPCs in the dungeon. Directly challenging other students is a test of human nature.
He began to doubt the system, and even the intentions of the Diary Training Camp itself. They claimed that they were carefully selected students and used huge rewards to attract them, but in fact they were hiding a deeper, unknown purpose, which was the information he had been trying to find.
Some of them looked troubled. He whispered, "Are there any teams unwilling to take on the challenge?"
Being directly expelled from the copy, or choosing to face unknown challenges and confrontations with unknown outcomes, he was curious about what the situation would be like next.
"No one should choose nothing, right?" Shi Yan couldn't understand why the situation he described would occur. After all, there were more possibilities, and most people would not think of giving up.
Anyone who has been able to persist from the time they entered the camp until now must have had some kind of determination.
Ding Can narrowed his eyes. "People often unleash abilities they've never displayed before when they risk everything. Perhaps we can use this as a starting point to draw further conclusions."
Xia Jialian also had this idea: "You mean, the system may be intentionally identifying the prominent points in everyone's personality."
"They just use us as samples for research." Gao Wenwen summarized simply.
However, human personality traits have actually been summarized by many relevant personnel at home and abroad for many years, and he feels that there is no need to study them further.
Humans are advanced animals, and it is simple to say so. Sometimes it is not difficult to explore them.
The countdown finally ended, and some people looked at each other in confusion. Perhaps no one wanted to be the first to take action at this time.
But the silent wait was also unbearable, so some people started to move.
"Look over there at Shu Shenan!" Gao Wenwen had been glancing at the brother and sister from the corner of his eyes, and he noticed something was wrong at the first moment.
In the square area, four figures suddenly appeared in front of them, standing in staggered positions. Both sides looked a little surprised, and then the originally transparent barrier suddenly turned black, and they could no longer see what was happening inside.
Ding Can looked around and quickly discovered: "Those who challenged were deliberately choosing teams with smaller numbers."
Although the content of the challenge is unclear, the chances of winning will always be greater if there is an advantage in personnel. What's more, this team only has four people, and it is impossible for them to challenge a larger number of people than themselves.
In addition, the venue is now open, so I can see the number of people in most of the teams around me with my naked eyes.
It is normal for people to be chosen first because there are only two people like the Shu brothers and sisters.
"How could these people do this?" Gao Wenwen could only complain, realizing that he could do nothing at all.
As time went on, more and more areas began to darken.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like the sky above the entire judgment area has darkened, as if a storm is about to come, and the actual situation is indeed so.
In addition, the black barrier not only blocks vision but also hearing, so it is impossible to guess what is happening inside.
Everyone felt a little uneasy at the same time.
Of course, I wasn't lucky enough to think that I wouldn't be chosen.
Sure enough, six unfamiliar faces soon appeared in front of them. The place was already small, and the other party seemed to be surrounding them.
The light around him dimmed, and in a flash, the scene around him changed.
Everyone was in an oval-shaped area, surrounded by several steps, some short windowless houses, and extremely high railings.
The medieval decoration and the many broken walls and ruins in the building reminded Ding Can of the Colosseum he had seen before.
The seats set up on the side are for the audience, but now they are empty, but one can still feel the empty gaze.
It was as if some disembodied existence was watching the status of the ten people on the stage.
