Chapter 296 Freeloaders

Jian Kant wanted to say that he had never provoked the locals in the two previous times he led the team, and he didn't even know anything about the Zhao family.

But on second thought, didn't this only highlight his mediocrity when he led the team? He

was insensitive to the surrounding information and was only thinking about breaking through the checkpoints, and as a result, he was treated as a fat sheep by the locals.

He was too embarrassed to speak.

Fortunately, he still had a mouthpiece, Zeng Mingda raised the question on his behalf: "I think the most urgent task is to find a way to break through. Being too high-profile may attract attention from the outside world, and it may be targeted by people with ulterior motives, which

will be more troublesome." Liu Jianan nodded slightly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but you have to understand that instead of waiting for trouble to come to you, it is better to let those who are looking for trouble consider the cost of doing so first. Only when we become strong, we will not be afraid of trouble coming to us."

Xu Zhaoxin echoed: "I have calculated that breaking records has a high probability of getting more rewards, which is especially important for us. So even if the crazy record-breaking behavior is suspected of pandering to the public, we think that the benefits are very high and it is worth the risk."

Zeng Mingda himself was also shaken.

But in order to save face for Chief Jian, he still said stubbornly: "It's up to you, I will do it according to my own ideas."

Liu Jianan glanced at him, then turned to look at Jian Kant: "Chief Jian, please understand, I didn't beg you to come in. The reason I am standing here today, dispatching personnel, and weighing the pros and cons is largely because you, Jian Kant, asked me to be the commander-in-chief of the exploration of the Lingbao secret realm."

Jian Kant responded awkwardly, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Little Brother Liu is right, Mingda, don't say such things in the future. We are a team, we can have arguments, There can be friction, but there must be no disagreement on the battlefield, understand? "

Zeng Mingda lowered his head in shame: "I understand, Chief Jian, I was thinking wrongly."

Jian Kant knew in his heart that Zeng Mingda was speaking for him, but he could only bear the pain and said: "You should not apologize to me."

Zeng Mingda bowed to Liu Jianan: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry."

Liu Jianan waved his hand: "It's normal for everyone to have different opinions. We can discuss ideas, but remember that the interests of the team are above everything else."

So no matter whether Zeng Mingda and Jian Kant were sincere or false.

Liu Jianan would assign everyone's work and make the best use of the gifts of the Trial Tower.

It was already evening when the order of the first level was arranged.

The hotel provides three meals a day, and the dishes are quite rich, which undoubtedly hurts Jian Kant's heart.

If it weren't for Liu Jianan, he would never have come across such a cheap and good hotel.

But he couldn't figure out whether Liu Jianan was lucky to meet someone from the Zhao family, or he had already guessed the cat behind it through the information he provided.

Jian Kant has always adhered to a steady and cautious style of doing things.

Naturally, it is difficult to agree with Liu Jianan's adventurous approach.

In fact, even if Liu Jianan and others did not meet Zhao Xingwei at the gate of the Trial Tower, they would have come into contact with the top leaders of the Zhao family sooner or later by breaking the record.

There is a saying that goes, if you bloom, flowers will come.

Liu Jianan and his team's strength meant that they could not keep a low profile on this trip.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, gather their strength, and prepare for tomorrow's tough battle.

"It's called a tough battle, but in fact, you have arranged the time to kill the shadow beast. As long as everyone follows the steps, it won't be a problem to get the thirteen rewards." Duan Haiping, who was summoned, analyzed while massaging Liu Jianan.

Liu Jianan thought that he felt quite comfortable during the massage, so he didn't care about what happened yesterday.

His own team had a total of ten people, and Jian Kant had three people, so it was indeed thirteen rewards.

"It's a pity that summoned creatures can't enter alone, otherwise you and the four brothers Jinwu could also break the record once, and then you would have eighteen rewards." Liu Jianan said with emotion.

Duan Haiping laughed and said, "Just be content. You haven't seen how hard it is for others to upgrade their abilities. There are many people who hold the chisel stone and don't sleep every day. Look at you, you don't have to sacrifice your rest time to absorb the chisel stone, and you can quickly improve your abilities. You have all the benefits."

Liu Jianan raised his eyebrows: "Why, from what you said, you are jealous of me?"

Duan Haiping raised his hands in surrender: "I'm not jealous at all. The more powerful my wife is, the happier I am. Baby, I will rely on you to protect me in the future. I didn't expect that I, Duan Haiping, would have a gigolo one day."

Liu Jianan was amused by him and leaned in the man's arms and closed his eyes.

He was willing to feed Duan Haiping a gigolo for the rest of his life.

For this, he must continue to work hard and strive to lead Lao Duan to a good life without worries about food and clothing as soon as possible!

...

The next morning.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in front of the Trial Tower.

They walked here, after all, it was only a mile from the hotel to the Trial Tower.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xingwei brought a group of people and waited here early.

Liu Jianan narrowed his eyes: "Brother Zhao, how are you? Does your knee still hurt? Don't think you are young and don't pay attention to joint problems."

When the knee was mentioned, Zhao Xingwei remembered the humiliation of being forced to kneel yesterday.

I don't know what my uncle was thinking. He insisted on entertaining this group of outsiders and asked him to bring people to investigate the situation of these outsiders breaking through.

To him, it was completely unnecessary.

Because this group of country bumpkins will definitely not be able to get through even the first level!

Liu Jianan originally thought that the other party was here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that after he had finished mocking him, the other party didn't respond, nor did he order the thugs to rush up to ask for a fight.

It seems that Zhao Xingwei appeared here with the instructions of others.

Most likely, it was the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhengxing, who sent Zhao Xingwei to find out their true and false.

However, Liu Jianan was very curious, why did the other party notice them.

At most, they had a little conflict with Zhao Xingwei, and they didn't even have time to show their strength.

Is it just because they had a feud with Zhao Xingwei that they got the attention of Zhao Zhengxing?

This reason is obviously untenable.

There is no point in overthinking it. Since Liu Xingwei is not going to cause trouble again, Liu Jianan is too lazy to care about him.

He nodded to Ke Jianfeng and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."

Ke Jianfeng nodded and walked towards the Trial Tower.

The moment he walked into the gate, his figure disappeared.

Then the gate of the first floor of the Trial Tower closed, and all the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the first floor of the tower lit up at the same time.

It seemed that this was the beginning of the trial.

Everyone was more or less worried about Ke Jianfeng who was going in, especially Lin Haichuan, who paced back and forth vigorously, and looked at his mechanical watch from time to time.

"I say, what are you waiting for?" Zhao Xingwei sneered and said, "You outsiders are stupid. Is the Trial Tower so easy to break into? Even the first level is not something you country bumpkins can pass. I bet that before long, the person you entered will be beaten out with a bruised face!"

Liu Jianan and others ignored him, only Lin Haichuan was arguing meaninglessly with Zhao Xingwei.

A minute passed quickly.

Zhao Xingwei was a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect that you, a bunch of despicable foreigners, would actually use a delaying tactic. Even if you can delay time, what's the use? If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. If he can beat the shadow beast, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball!"

Liu Jianan couldn't help but look to the side.

It doesn't matter whether it's a gamble or not.

The main thing is that I've never kicked a ball made of a head, and my feet are a little itchy.
