Chapter 236 Li Shiyin's Staff



"Join you?" Tian Wenjin was puzzled. "What are you doing?"

"Assessment! Get first place!" Long Qiqi raised his two little fists, clenched them hard, and said to Tian Wenjin.

"Get first place in the assessment?" Tian Wenjin looked at Long Qiqi, not understanding what the assessment had to do with her. "Shiyin wants to get first place?"

"Of course I do!" Long Qiqi said, "Don't you want to take first place?"

If I say I don't want to take first place, that would be a lie. Tian Wenjin looked at Long Qiqi and said, "I am very confident in my ability, so I know I can't take first place. Shiyin, Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Liu, I am still a step behind them in terms of my ability."

"For this kind of assessment, strength only accounts for a part of it..." Long Qiqi and Tian Wenjin said seriously, "There are also luck and strategy. We can't control luck, but we can use strategy."

Tian Wenjin became interested and asked Long Qiqi: "What strategy?"

Long Qiqi raised her hand and beckoned her to come closer. When Tian Wenjin squatted down and her ear was close, she lowered her voice and said, "Collect intelligence, predict the opponent, analyze the situation, and formulate a strategy against the enemy in advance..."

After she finished speaking, she stared at Tian Wenjin and raised her eyebrows, "How is it?"

Tian Wenjin thought about it carefully and was surprised to find that what Long Qiqi said could indeed help them win. She couldn't help but look at Long Qiqi carefully, and then looked her up and down. To be honest, she had never seen how powerful this black-hearted little loli was.

"How can you do this?" she asked, "Where did you learn this?"

The Daojian Sect's pre-knock-on-the-door assessment has been going on for thousands of years, but no one has ever had such a unique idea.

Although Long Qiqi was scheming and cunning, she could only have learned this way of thinking from Qin Ran. She didn't answer, but kept asking Tian Wenjin, "What do you think? Do you want to join? Do you want to? Do you want to?"

"What stage have you reached now?" Tian Wenjin thought for a moment and asked.

"Collecting disciples' information." Long Qiqi said.

"If I want to join, what should I do?" Tian Wenjin asked, "I mean, what is the price?"

After two or three years of working in the cultivation world, Tian Wenjin already knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"What's the price?" The dark little loli glanced at Tian Wenjin in a reproachful manner and said with a smile, "It's just that we collect intelligence together, do analysis together, and come up with strategies together. We are all friends, and we just share intelligence."

Tian Wenjin pondered: "How many people do you have now?"

"You and Shiyin, and then there's me and Zhuifeng."

"Why isn't there anyone else?"

“I don’t know the others well.”

"Okay..." Tian Wenjin was successfully tricked by Long Qiqi into joining the gang. She asked, "What should I do now?"

"You go collect intelligence on behalf of Zhuifeng. Zhuifeng is too big a target, and running around will easily attract other people's attention."

"Okay." Tian Wenjin nodded and asked, "What exactly do you want to collect?"

Long Qiqi told her everything, and after listening, she turned around to look for Zhuifeng.

"Wait!" Long Qiqi suddenly remembered something and called her again, motioning her to lean closer and asked, "What's the number on your identity token?"

"One hundred and seventy-one..." Tian Wenjin said, taking out the identity token to look at it, and then he was startled, "No, when did it become seventy-seven?"

Long Qiqi's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Your number has changed?"

"What's the meaning?"

"After the first round, some people's numbers changed, while some people's numbers did not change." Long Qiqi replied, "For example, Shiyin's number did not change, it is still 67; but your number changed, from 171 to 77."

"Do you know what the reason is?"

"I don't know." Long Qiqi shook his head, "There should be a pattern in this, but I haven't figured it out yet."

"All right……"

Following Long Qiqi's instructions, Tian Wenjin replaced Zhuifeng and, as usual, wrote down the names, numbers, occupations, levels, etc. of the two people being assessed. As a cultivator, Tian Wenjin naturally wrote down details such as the fighting styles and habits of both sides of the battle.

The first day's assessment lasted from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. It was not until night fell that the bustle of the main peak gradually faded away.

Qin Ran had been a referee for the entire day and was already extremely tired. As soon as he returned to Danfeng, he lay down on a chair and fell asleep.

But the group of four who had also been running around the discussion platform all day did not seem tired at all. They were now sitting in a circle on the lawn in front of the cabin, having a heated discussion.

Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin sat cross-legged, while Zhuifeng and Long Qiqi lay prone. Zhuifeng lay on the opposite side to reduce the impact of his body size, while Long Qiqi lay on this side, sticking out his little butt and chattering non-stop.

She spoke in a low voice with a lot of breath, much like the hissing sound of a snake.

Qin Ran couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he got up and walked over. With the light from the corridor, he saw Long Qiqi holding a thick stack of papers with her elbow. There was a table drawn on the paper. The table contained numbers, names, descriptions, marks, etc., which was very densely packed.

When he got here, he saw Long Qiqi taking a pen and drawing on the paper, and he said with a hiss: "Among the outer disciples, there are eleven who are worth noting. Comprehensive analysis shows that they may have strength, or they may have hidden strength, or their skills may be strange, or their magic weapons may be strange, etc.

"And the two that need special attention are Lin Yi and Xiao Bufan. Lin Yi's skills are complicated, and he probably hides his strength; the fire used by Xiao Bufan is very powerful, probably the strange fire of heaven and earth, and he has the capital to defeat the strong with the weak.

"This is for outer disciples." She handed the form to Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin, then she took out another form and continued,

“As for the inner disciples…the inner disciples are very powerful, and most of them you cannot take lightly.

"There are seven that require special attention, namely...

"Among them, this guy named Ximen Wushang needs special attention. This guy is from the main peak, and I feel that his strength is not inferior to the top ten geniuses."

"Such a high evaluation?" Li Shiyin was surprised. "This is only the first game. Everyone's performance is not very strong, right?"

"I watched his match..." Tian Wenjin took over the conversation, "His opponent was Senior Brother Jianfeng. That senior brother was extremely strong, not inferior to me...but in the end he was defeated by Ximen Wushang, so I made this evaluation."

"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded in response.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard Zhuifeng call out "Dad". They were startled and looked up, only to find that Qin Ran had been eavesdropping for a long time.

Realizing that he was exposed, Qin Ran glared at Zhuifeng and said, "You have a good eye, right?"

He coughed dryly and laughed: "Not bad, it's done well! Keep it up..." Then he fled at the speed of light.

After Qin Ran left, the foursome continued their discussion. As they talked, they brought up the issue of digital transformation, but they still hadn't figured out the pattern behind it.

The more Long Qiqi thought about it, the angrier he got. He suddenly sat up, pointed at Zhuifeng and cursed, "This kind of numerical pattern should be your business, but look at how well you have learned arithmetic?"

Zhuifeng was lying there like a huge lump, being scolded by the tiny Long Qiqi so hard that he didn't dare to breathe.

"The numbers must be related to the order of tomorrow's battles. If we can't find the pattern... do you know how many opportunities we will miss?"

"Alright, alright..." Li Shiyin tried to smooth things over and comforted him, "We've already collected enough information. We should be able to understand the numerical patterns and so on after watching a few more games tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow! If we knew today, we would have had plenty of time to prepare!" Long Qiqi glared at Li Shiyin again and said angrily.

Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. If they and Zhuifeng were combined, Long Qiqi's strength would not be as good as one of their fingers, but...

Of course, despite all the scolding, Zhuifeng still couldn't find the pattern in the numbers in the end... It really was a waste of having such a big brain.

That night, a big cat lay on the cat climbing frame, feeling the cold wind and unable to sleep all night.
