Chapter 148 Selecting People

He Guangzhi smiled faintly and said, "No need for testing. We will teach them everything and see how much they can understand."

Lu Yunsheng asked curiously, "Why did you change your personality? Don't you usually keep the secret of your special moves very secret?"

He Guangzhi said: "It's very simple, because I have already fully realized the stronger one. Now it's okay to teach this old version. I can also see if there are any successors who can take it as my successor."

Soon someone notified the top ten players in the second round.

Li Yi and others received the news. Although they were surprised, no one said anything.

The most urgent task, of course, is to complete the last task of the second round first.

That is, team member selection.

Of course, we can't pick people here. Although the top of this peak is big, it can't accommodate 120 divine mechas standing on it.

You need to go back to the main base first to confirm whether the results of the last two rounds are correct.

For example, whether the rankings of the two who arrived almost at the same time were controversial, whether those who frequently fired divine energy cannons went too far and damaged the foundation of the big peak, etc.

Only after going through this process will the mecha pilots be allowed to physically get off the plane and select team members face to face.

…

In the main base, in front of a large mecha fighting arena, 120 mecha masters in various uniforms were standing scattered around, waiting quietly.

Half an hour later, after all the chores were completed, a middle-aged Heavenly Rank expert in military uniform with a two-door star-shaped badge on his shoulder came over and said with a light cough:

"I am Lin Wendong, the commander of the vanguard regiment of the Border Star Garrison Corps, and I am also the organizer of this competition."

"According to the confirmation of all mecha masters, the top ten of the second round of the speed race have been announced. I will report it now."

"Ranked first is the captain of the first team of the Heng'e Ship's standing team, Ning Feiyu."

"Second, the captain of the first team of the Kunlun ship's standing force, Lei Guangyao."

"Third, the middle-ranking mecha master of the Yao Chi ship, Li Yi."

"Fourth, the instructor of the Changbai ship's special class, Wen Keyi."

"Fifth, the Shura ship's top mecha master, Lin Xiu."

"Sixth, the captain of the first team of the Dijiang ship's standing team, Zhao Yingying."

"Seventh, the captain of the third team of the Five-Colored Fleet Standing Team, Huang Juxian."

"Eighth, the instructor of the Taishan ship's special class, Long Jinchan."

"Ninth, the Kunpeng ship's top mecha master, Xiao Dongxuan."

"Tenth, the captain of the third team of the Fushan ship's standing team, Ye Yan."

"Now let's congratulate the top ten players in the second round again, and then leave."

Upon hearing this, the top ten masters looked around and walked out.

There is no doubt that Li Yi, as a mid-level mecha master standing in front of this upper-level mecha master, became the focus of the whole audience.

Not the bottom of the top ten, but third.

This shows that this guy is definitely not weak, and it is impossible for him to have made it into the top ten by luck.

And when everyone saw Li Yi's young and handsome face, they were even more surprised.

Even if the evolvers can maintain a youthful normal state, the appearance and temperament brought by different ages are naturally completely different.

At this time, Li Yi also saw the Yueyin mecha pilot Ning Feiyu, and the Evil Ghost mecha pilot Lin Xiu, whom he had been paying attention to.

Among them, Ning Feiyu's height is normal, about 1.7 meters, which is considered short considering that evolvers are generally very tall.

However, she is quite pretty.

Even under the uniform, one can still see her graceful figure and exposed fair and translucent skin. From a distance, she looks otherworldly and pure.

Looking at her face again, it was peaceful and gentle, her eyes slightly restrained under her long and dense eyelashes, with a look of tranquility and neither sadness nor joy.

The other Lin Xiu had arms and waist as big as an ape, a handsome face, and eyes that seemed calm at first glance, but were actually round and moving around at will, as if he was hiding his cunning, but not hiding it very obviously, as if he was doing it deliberately.

Since Li Yi had been deeply impressed by the skills, tactics and characteristics of these two people before, he took a few more glances at them.

He did not hide it and just observed openly.

The two of them noticed Li Yi's gaze and responded.

Among them, Ning Feiyu nodded slightly, with a hint of kindness in his eyes.

Lin Xiu frowned twice, looking quite funny and without much sense of distance.

This first contact left a not-so-bad impression.

He also observed the other people one by one. They all had good looks, captivating eyes and outstanding temperament.

Obviously, these ten people who can become upper-level evolvers and break out from so many powerful people are really not comparable to ordinary powerful people.

It can be imagined that these ten people will have a greater chance of breaking into the heavenly realm and truly becoming inhumanly powerful people.

Lin Wendong looked around at everyone, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's not waste time on the selection phase. I will project everyone's performance in this speed race on the screen."

“Captains can take five minutes to quickly review and confirm their candidates.”

"Don't complain about the short time. In an emergency battle, as a commander in the future, you may have to observe the characteristics and abilities of your teammates within a few minutes and make appropriate arrangements."

"So, this is also a test for you."

“Who can pick the one that best matches their abilities in this round may determine the true outcome of the third round.”

The ten people looked at each other, and each saw the determination to win in the other's eyes.

…

The candidates that Li Yi has currently accepted are Liang Zhishen, Teng Juli, Hu Yitong, Lin Huiyi, Zhang Pengting, and Lin Xiaohu.

As well as Xu Weilu, recommended by Liang Zhishen, and Tan Haode, who are yet to be confirmed.

There is also the human-snake mecha pilot, Yu Longhui, who is currently ranked twelfth.

For the last one, he hasn’t found a target candidate yet, so this is a good opportunity for him to quickly confirm and select one.

According to the previous strength configuration, it would be best to have a strong man of the same level as Yu Longhui.

By the way, in this race to the top, Li Yi’s target candidates had different rankings.

Liang Zhishen 35, Xu Weilu 42, Tan Haode 58, Hu Yitong 65, Zhang Pengting 67, Teng Juli 69, Lin Huiyi 89, Lin Xiaohu 91.

In Li Yi's opinion, except for Lin Xiaohu's unsatisfactory ranking, which was slightly lower than his strength, the rankings of other people were commensurate with their strength, and the fluctuations were indeed not big.

For example, Liang Zhishen ranked 36th in the last session, and this time he was able to get one with the addition of so many top players. His overall strength is already quite impressive.

Although he calls himself a scoundrel, he is indeed one of the few young experts below the heavenly level of the Yao Chi ship.

Xu Weilu and Tan Haode's overall rankings are similar to last time, so there's nothing much to say.

Hu Yitong's performance was outstanding this time, and he actually rose to 65th place from his previous ranking of barely 120th place.

But it's no wonder. She only suffered a loss in the positional battle last time. In terms of real strength, Li Yi is estimated to be in the top 80.

In addition, her flexible movements during the race for the top position improved her ranking significantly, which shows that her reaction speed and combat awareness are relatively advanced.

Teng Juli's performance was slightly worse than Liang Zhishen's prediction, but this time a lot of masters were added, and he was still able to keep the target of the top 70, which is not bad.

The reason why Li Yi had to give priority to people he knew when selecting people this time was because, except for the top 20 who had a large gap in hard power, there was a gap in the next few dozen people, but it was not big.

Therefore, compared with the attribute of strength, he values ​​the attribute of trust more.

Moreover, he has already reserved a spot for the top 20 experts, which should be enough according to the selection order.

After all, people are selected in turns, so it is impossible for one teammate to have all the top players, and there must be a gradient of strength within the team.

After a quick look, Li Yi has confirmed his three candidates and is waiting to be selected.

…

Division Commander Lin Wendong said:

"Five minutes are up, let's start selecting people. The first one is Yue Yin mecha pilot, Ning Feiyu."

At this moment, Ning Feiyu had obviously already spotted the target, and said in a calm voice: "Yu Longhui."

Hearing this, Li Yi shrugged. It seemed that everyone could see that Yu Longhui was obviously in the top ten, and everyone was paying attention to him.

Fortunately, Li Yi had anticipated this situation and was not in a hurry.

If you can't have the best, something worse will do.

Anyway, the third round of exploration is weighted more than combat, and the diversity of abilities is obviously more important.

Then, Qin Xushuang, who was ranked eleventh, was selected by Lei Guangyao.

Li Yi remained unmoved.

I have decided to pick one with better perception ability, and focus more on exploration attributes.

The one ranked 16th is the Xiguang Mecha of the Alien God Sequence, from the Tianlang Ship, named Jiang Chaoqun.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

According to Li Yi's previous observations, it should have a good ability to recognize light information.

It just complements Li Yi's current expertise in oscillation frequency, trace recognition, and his newly mastered microscopic analysis capabilities.

These three are Li Yi's combination of his perfect-level tracking and perfect-level predictive abilities, combined with his understanding of information system analysis data and the exploration skills mastered by the memory fragments.

Among them, oscillation frequency and trace recognition are abilities that have been mastered long ago, and they played a lot of roles when exploring the Tianshu ruins.

As for the micro-resolution capability, the current scale is able to see minute information of 0.1 mm scale under long-distance detection, which was acquired after spending time to master it after exchanging the information.

I am still at the entry level and have just formed a system, but I am not proficient enough yet.

However, even with these three, I believe he will be able to play a powerful role in subsequent exploration missions.

At this moment, it was Li Yi's turn to pick someone next. He said;

"Jiang Chaoqun."

Suddenly, everyone else's attention turned to the person in the field who was obviously much fatter than the people around him.

This person is of medium height, and his waist circumference is obviously much larger than those around him, which makes him very conspicuous.

When he heard Li Yi's selection, his eyes lit up and he seemed quite satisfied to be chosen by Li Yi.

But a friend around him joked to Jiang Chaoqun:

"Old Jiang, you're out of luck. Although Li Yi is very powerful, he's obviously very young and probably doesn't have much experience in exploring and searching for ruins. By then, the team won't get lost if it means they won't join them."

"Stop being so sarcastic, you know nothing!"

Jiang Chaoqun said calmly:

"Li Yi obviously has the greatest potential among all the people present. He will definitely become a Heavenly Rank expert easily, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. Even if I lose this time, I can take this opportunity to build a good relationship with a future top Heavenly Rank expert. As for you, just wait to be picked by the guys who rank lower."

As he spoke, he smoothed his short hair in a showy manner, shook his sleeves, and walked towards Li Yi with a proud look.

Li Yi chose Jiang Chaoqun, who was ranked only 16th, which was beyond many people's expectations.

Because in the eyes of others, they would at least choose the 13th or 14th one, but in the end they chose the 16th, which really wasted the good ranking of the third place.

There were some discussions around, discussing who made the better choice, but Li Yi remained unmoved. In the next selection, he continued to pick out the candidates he had already reserved.

Afterwards, Liang Zhishen, Teng Juli and others also came over one after another.

As for Xu Weilu and Tan Haode, I don’t know whether Liang Zhishen had communicated with them in advance or not, but they were not surprised that Li Yi would choose them, and they just walked behind Li Yi.

Everyone was very efficient and no one refused to choose.

Basically, whoever is picked will walk over automatically and consciously.

Li Yi was not surprised by this.

Everyone has some familiar people, and if they are confident of getting into the top ten, they will naturally call them in advance to avoid being picked out.

For those who don't have any acquaintances in the top ten, no matter how strong or weak they are, the probability of being left behind is not low. If they go from being at the top of the rankings to no one picking them and become the last 20 left, that would be embarrassing and they would most likely have to find a corner to hide in on the spot.

This is human nature, and we have been selecting each other along the way.

Those who are left behind will have a great sense of inferiority and self-doubt, even if they have not suffered any losses.

…

After completing the selection, everyone dispersed one after another, some to build relationships in advance, to develop strategies, some to familiarize themselves with their abilities, to develop group tactics, and so on.

However, the first ten people still have to report to the command room after disbanding.

It is said that the Heavenly Rank powerhouse will give a surprise to the top ten mecha masters in the second round.

Therefore, after Li Yi asked Liang Zhishen to greet those people on his behalf, he followed the guiding AI with the ten people and walked towards the first division.

Halfway through the journey, Lin Xiu came over and greeted Li Yi with a smile:

"We were in the next division in the round, so we should have paid attention to each other at that time, right?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Your evil ghost mecha has rare characteristics and its attacks are so fierce that I am amazed."

Lin Xiu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed:

"Not bad, not bad. I said I felt your gaze at that time. Sure enough, you do have good eyesight."

His words not only praised Li Yi, but also frankly expressed his confidence in his own abilities. There was no sense of distance between his words, which made him difficult to dislike.

Li Yi smiled and said, "With your outstanding mecha tonnage and various fierce and sophisticated skills and tactics, it's hard not to impress people."

Lin Xiu was very satisfied with the flattery from Li Yi, one of the top three strongest men.

Whether it's business promotion or not, it always sounds comfortable.

On the other side, Lei Guangyao, who ranked second, also came over and said with a smile:

"Two masters, let me introduce myself. I am Lei Guangyao from the Kunpeng ship. Although we are competitors in this competition, it does not necessarily mean that we will not cooperate to kill the enemy in the future. We should communicate more when we have the chance."

Lin Xiu said: "Of course, of course."

Li Yi also responded politely.

Li Yi also had an impression of Lei Guangyao. In the second round of racing, he was ranked sixth and was ambushed by the person ranked tenth. However, he was not injured. In the counterattack, he successfully shot down the tenth person. Then, in the final sprint, he burst out with all his strength and surpassed the second person at that time.

Li Yi also had another small outburst behind him, pulling himself back to third place from almost falling behind in fourth place.

As a result, the second place at that time became the fourth place in the end.

As they were talking, everyone entered the first area one after another.

Originally, most people in the first zone did not have local permissions and could not enter.

But since the words came from the two most powerful people on the border star, the temporary authority would naturally be very simple.

Then, everyone entered a huge command tower in the division, which covered an area at least equivalent to 10 football fields. There was a spiral staircase inside, and everyone climbed up all the way and soon reached the top floor.

As soon as they entered, everyone was shocked by the thousands of light screen projections in front of them.

Almost every light screen presents the observation scenes around various planets around the boundary star with ultra-high-definition lossless image quality. Countless star points are presented on it, and it seems that the page can be zoomed in and out clearly according to the control of the staff below.

The central area is a relatively detailed observation image of the area surrounding the boundary stars.

There are numbers on the top and bottom of each light curtain. A sharp-eyed person can immediately see that the numbers of the light curtains in the corners are over 10,000.

This means that there are tens of thousands of huge surveillance cameras that monitor the areas inside and outside the border star.

At this time, Lin Wendong knocked on the door frame and said with a smile:

"General He, the top ten guys are here. Can you please say something?"
