"If that's the case, it's not time for you to be proud."

After hearing what Cao Yanhuang said, Lin Han relaxed and couldn't help but sneer.

He originally thought that Cao Yanhuang had colluded with the top management of Baojian Tower in secret, so he knew the content of the competition. In that case, if Cao Yanhuang wanted to cheat in the competition, he would be powerless to stop him.

After all, the organizers all have Cao Yanhuang's people, so everything will develop according to Cao Yanhuang's plan.

For example, in this team competition, Cao Yanhuang was in the same team with him and was causing trouble for him.

That would be a difficult situation indeed.

However, since he only got the inside information of the team competition through gossip, it means that he is not colluding with the organizer, so it is acceptable.

However, it is also possible that Cao Yanhuang said this in order to make him relax. Whether his words can be trusted is another matter.

So Lin Han didn't completely relax either.

"Really? Then let's wait and see!"

Cao Yanhuang patted Lin Han on the shoulder, confidently walked past Lin Han and headed towards the competition stage.

And Lin Han followed behind.

There are a total of sixteen contestants, and all of them have arrived.

Of course, these are the contestants who are still here and can still participate in the competition.

There were originally more than sixteen people participating in the competition. More than a dozen people were forced to leave due to Cao Yanhuang's influence.

But even if Baojian Tower knew this, they couldn't do anything to Cao Yanhuang, after all, they had no evidence.

And this is also the reason why Yang Lan stared at Cao Yanhuang with a gloomy face in front of everyone.

"What's wrong? Aren't all the people here? Why haven't you started the game yet? Or are you still waiting for those bad people? If they leave, it will save you the effort of eliminating them, right?"

Cao Yanhuang raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly.

Indeed, it was originally planned to be an elimination match, but Cao Yanhuang's "help" really saved a lot of effort.

But some things have to be done according to the rules, and he is breaking the rules.

What's more, there might be some very strong people among those people who can win this game. He eliminated them in this way without considering the issue of strength.

And there is no need to say more about what will happen once their affairs become known.

It will definitely affect their future career in treasure appraisal, and this stain will always exist on their resumes.

So what Cao Yanhuang did was excessive!

But without evidence, they can't do anything.

"The game begins!"

Yang Lan announced the start of the competition unhappily, and soon someone carried something up from the stage.

It was a lottery machine with many white balls with the same number. The same numbers were grouped in pairs, for a total of 8 groups, or 16 balls, corresponding to the 16 people here!

So the effect of this thing is obvious.

It is through this thing that the winning team of the competition is decided.

It was just as Cao Yanhuang said, they really formed teams to compete.

Except for Cao Yanhuang and Lin Han, everyone else was very confused about this thing.

Because until now, Yang Lan has not explained the rules of the competition, so it is obvious that they don’t understand the function of this thing.

Some people might think that they were asked to identify this thing!

"The rules of the first round are that teams compete in pairs, and it is also an elimination match. The losing team is eliminated directly and has no right to participate in the next round."

"Oh! I see!"

"It's a team competition. This is my first time doing it as well. I'm looking forward to it."

After Yang Lan announced the rules of the competition, all the other people who didn't understand suddenly realized the purpose of the lottery machine.

And this kind of machine will naturally shake out the numbers randomly, so you can rest assured that it will not be tampered with.

"Isn't this why Cao Yanhuang said that luck will determine whether I will be eliminated in the first round?"

Lin Han thought so after looking at the lottery machine.

If he draws the same number as Cao Yanhuang, then he is definitely finished, but the chance of this happening is not great.

One fifteenth, no, not one fifteenth, it depends on the situation.

Cao Yanhuang is the thirteenth, if the people before him did not get the same number as Cao Yanhuang.

Then among the remaining three balls, there is a ball with the same number as Cao Yanhuang.

So the probability is not one in fifteen, but one in three!

But there is also a high possibility that someone had teamed up with Cao Yanhuang before that.

"People with the same number will form one team, and two teams with adjacent numbers will compete to determine the winning team! For example, Team 1 and Team 2 will compete. Now, the people whose numbers were just read will come forward to draw lots,"

The first person nodded slightly after hearing this and immediately stepped forward to draw a number.

He got it and held it high. It was 7!

On the stage, there is a fluorescent screen with a pyramid diagram on it. The bottom layer has 8 boxes, which correspond to the eight teams.

After that person got ball No. 7, his name appeared in the box of the seventh group, which also meant that he was in the fourth group to compete.

Then the second person, and the third person, came forward to draw the numbers.

Lin Shaoxian is number 4, in the second group.

Lu Siyu is No. 6, in the third group.

Finally, it was the thirteenth number. Cao Yanhuang stepped forward to draw the number. After the number was drawn, he looked back at Lin Han with a half-smile on his face, then held the number ball high.

It says number 1!

Lin Han couldn't help but frown when he saw this, because there was indeed ball number 1 among the last three balls, and the other two were 2 and 8.

If he also drew number one, he would have to be in the same group with Cao Yanhuang, and this was the last thing he wanted to see.

"It's your turn now. I hope your luck will be better and you can find more reliable teammates!"

Cao Yanhuang walked down and whispered in Lin Han's ear with a wicked smile.

Lin Han walked forward with a gloomy face. When he arrived in front of the lottery machine, he grasped the joystick of the lottery machine and gently turned it a few times.

The white ball inside was bounced up by the machine below and finally fell back onto the funnel-shaped machine below. A ball fell out from the opening at the bottom.

And then the opening closes, preventing the ball from falling any further.

“Bang!”

There is a delivery port at the bottom of the lottery machine that looks like a beverage machine. Lin Han reached in and took out the numbered ball.

But in fact, he had already breathed a sigh of relief before he got the number ball. After all, he could see which two numbers were left in the glass cabinet, so he knew which number the ball that fell was.

He was lucky, it was not number 1, but number 8!

Lin Han turned around and held up the number ball high, and then his name appeared in the second box of the fourth group on the upper screen, along with another name in the box.

Fang Boyi!
