“Although the second world looks good, it is controlled by the government and conglomerates. Will we be able to adapt to the system there?” Shen Xuanyi asked.
Luo Xi also said, "We want to build a new world, not adapt to another social system."
Everyone was deep in thought when suddenly, with a loud "bang," Xu Anran slammed her hand on the table, stood up from her chair, and excitedly shouted, "I've decided! We'll go to the first world. Although it's ancient, we can turn it into modern times!"
After hearing Xu Anran's decision, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Xiao Feng said, "Yes! We'll rebuild that place, develop technology, and it will be a new beginning!"
Qi Ziqi agreed, saying, "At that time, we will establish a completely new social system ourselves."
White also expressed his opinion: "I want to develop machinery, create machines that can travel through time and space, and I want to return to my world."
Shen Xuanyi also said, "We can develop technology; everything is brand new."
Thus, with everyone's unanimous agreement, Xu Anran chose the first admission ticket.
After selecting their tickets, they have a week to prepare. A week later, they will travel to a new world, settle down there, solve the disaster, and create a brand new world of their own.
Two days later, a scene like this appeared in the waiting hall of the high-speed rail: people lined up in long queues, moving slowly side by side. A middle-aged woman in the queue asked the young girl standing in front of her, "Young lady, are you here to register too?"
The girl nodded: "Yes, I don't know if I'll be selected."
"Sigh, I don't know what their standards are. Several people I know have been rejected. When they asked for an explanation, they just coldly said, 'It's the chairman's decision.'" The middle-aged woman sighed, very worried that she would be rejected as well.
The girl also said, "Some of the people I know were selected, and some weren't. There were no criteria. A kind older brother I knew was rejected, even though he was very capable. Meanwhile, one of our team members and his seven or eight-year-old child were selected."
A voice came from the front of the line: "Next group."
Fan Yunfei called the first ten people in the group to follow him into the villa. These ten people stood in a row, facing Xu Anran who was sitting on the sofa.
Of these ten people, some had sweaty palms from nervousness, while others looked calm and seemed unconcerned about the outcome; still others had smiles on their faces, confident in their abilities.
Xu Anran's golden pupils swept over them, and she raised her hand, pointing to the three people and saying, "This one, this one, and this one, these three people pass."
The three chosen were overjoyed and happily followed Qi Ziqi to another room to register and join the guild, while those who weren't chosen could only leave disappointed. One of them complained, "Why? That guy who just entered the VIP waiting room and doesn't even have any special abilities got chosen, but I didn't."
This was the same person who had been so confident in his abilities earlier. He pointed at Xu Anran and continued, "You didn't ask any questions, just glanced at her a few times, and then decided who to choose. That's too hasty. I need a reason. What is the reason?"
Seeing how agitated this person was, seemingly unwilling to give up without knowing the reason, those who hadn't been chosen and were about to leave also stopped in their tracks, lingering in the room to hear the reason.
Xu Anran sat on the sofa, sipping orange juice, and casually looked at the unconvinced person, saying, "Fine, then you'll regret it!"
"Go ahead, I'm all ears."
Xu Anran pointed at the man: "In your original world, you killed your cousin. Later, when you became a passenger, you pushed an innocent person out to shield yourself from disaster while you were escaping. Also, in a disaster world where earthquakes were common, you stole the ticket of the girl who shared a room with you and killed her."
After hearing this, the man tried to argue back and deny it, but Xu Anran, seeing his expression, continued, "Don't deny it, I also know a few things about you and someone in the guild."
Upon hearing Xu Anran's words, the man's face turned pale, he snorted, and turned to leave.
The others wanted to hear more about what had happened, but seeing the man turn and leave, they were all filled with regret. The other unsuccessful candidates also quickly left after he was gone; they didn't want Xu Anran to reveal the reasons for their defeat. They knew perfectly well what they had done before.
People outside could tell from these people that they had been rejected. Some asked them what the criteria were for selecting members of the mutual aid association, but they all kept quiet.
After all, they can't exactly say that the mutual aid society selects people who haven't done anything wrong, because that would be tantamount to them admitting they're bad people and warning others not to trust them.
After the group left, Luo Xi went up to Xu Anran and asked, "Are you tired? You just selected everyone in the guild a couple of days ago without taking a break. Today you have to screen so many people. Can you handle it?"
"It's okay, I'm not tired at all. I'll watch for another three hours, then I'm going to watch videos with Mai Sui and Mo Mo, so I'll stop watching then," Xu Anran said with a smile.
Then, the next group of people was brought in, and it was another round of selection.
Thus, including the screening within the guild in the previous two days and the selection of members in the past few days, five days have passed, and the entire guild currently has 239 members.
For the remaining two days, Xu Anran, Qi Ziqi, Fan Yunfei, and Liu Yong will divide the two hundred people into groups, while Shen Xuanyi will lead the group to study the establishment of the city. Zhao Chang'an, Luo Xi, and White will prepare for the development of technology in the new world.
Before we knew it, the day of departure arrived. The guild's more than two hundred members were divided into five groups. The first group consisted of four teams led by Xu Anran and his three core members. The remaining four groups each had about forty members, and each group had a leader and a deputy leader.
Everyone, carrying their prepared supplies, arrived at the waiting hall and stood in their respective groups. Before leaving, the Flying Leap Guild came to say goodbye. They were the second group and had chosen the second ticket. They would also be departing tomorrow.
After saying goodbye, Xu Anran shouted "Let's go!" and everyone disappeared from their spot, teleporting to a special vehicle. The members of their guild sat on the train, feeling both excited and nervous about the new world they were about to travel to.
"Dad, what do you think that world will be like? Will we leave after we get there?" A seven or eight-year-old boy looked up and asked the man beside him.
The man didn't speak, but gently stroked his son's head with his large hand.
