Sha Fei’s lead team was Xing Xingkong, so who would Zhenfei’s lead team be?
However, Lu Zixun didn’t quite understand why there was a need to specifically create a position for a lead team.
On the way to the supply point, he felt the presence of at least hundreds of A-level Demon Ability Users among the contestants, and he swallowed subconsciously. This was terrifying.
"Contestants of Zhenfei, please come over here."
A cat clan girl, upon seeing the main troop approaching, called out in a sweetly melodic voice.
The members of Sha Fei, at least the males, felt their hearts warm, and they couldn’t hold back their smiles as they hurried toward the cat clan girl.
He Yixin, who had underestimated the situation, asked, "Excuse me, where is Sha Fei supposed to go?"
The cat clan girl, who was personally putting the passes on the Zhenfei contestants, smiled slightly and said, "Right beside here."
At that moment, He Yixin saw the passes laid out on the table, meaning...
You have to put them on yourself...
Everyone is a contestant, so why is there such a big difference?
"They’re also offering insurance services for a hundred thousand Crimson Coins here?"
At this moment, Feng Yichen, who wandered around during the preparation period at the supply point, discovered a machine.
As if he had found a new continent, he shouted loudly.
The curious members of Zhenfei gathered around.
Feng Yichen read aloud, "Pay a hundred thousand Crimson Coins, and you can get two Emergency Rescue Bombs. Pulling these bombs will call an S-level Demon Ability User to rescue you. Not a million, not ten million, only a hundred thousand to make your insect-killing competition journey like a picnic. What are you waiting for? Buy it now!"
Feng Yichen’s dramatic delivery was just like that of a professional salesman.
People around him watched Feng Yichen with a mix of speechlessness.
It’s not your money, so why are you so earnestly promoting this stuff?
Chen Yue, who felt this sales tactic was familiar, immediately thought of Lu Zixun and gave their team captain a somewhat speechless glance.
At this time, Tang Tianyu also felt helpless.
Probably because of the previous business of selling information, leading to this series of actions.
Tang Tianyu, feeling a need to show some support, squeezed through the crowd and chose to purchase.
"Congratulations, you’re the first to try it out. With the protection of Demon Country, you’re as steady as an old dog."
Ge Changming’s smug voice came from the machine.
Tang Tianyu, who had seen Ge Changming before, collected the Emergency Rescue Bomb with a speechless expression.
Clearly, he didn’t take Ge Changming’s words about being the first too seriously.
Being in the top two or three was fine. First...
Tang Tianyu glanced at Bing Xue Ning, shook his head, and didn’t say anything.
Ge Changming, standing on the city wall, elbowed Xiao Enshuo, "I knew Old Tang would be the first to buy. Pay up."
"Pssh, rigged game. The previous bet doesn’t count."
"Damn, can’t you take a loss?"
Ge Changming cursed and chased after Xiao Enshuo, berating him.
"Old Tang is reliable."
Seeing that all the Sha Fei contestants had bought in, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, his money-loving nature completely unhidden.
The machine, which was very friendly to Sha Fei, was not so friendly towards Zhenfei.
Seeing the lofty price of a million Crimson Coins, the Zhenfei contestants felt dreadful. This was the so-called differential treatment.
Even at such a price, there were still a few teams that chose to purchase, meaning...
Lu Zixun made a killing with this move.
"Here, let me introduce this insect-killing competition,"
"You should all be able to see the watches on the contestants’ right wrists, which are used to track the number of insects killed. The team leader’s watch can bind the members’ kill points and include them in the team’s total points."
"Killing a common insect yields one point, a high-level insect five points, a queen-level insect twenty points, and an emperor-level insect a thousand points!"
After finishing the introduction of the rules, Yang Mingming continued, "This insect-killing competition has two major lists. Everyone, please look behind me."
Behind the commentary booth, there hung an exceptionally tall leaderboard.
On the left was the individual list, and on the right was the team list, which was currently empty.
"Once the insect-killing competition officially starts, the leaderboard will be updated every five minutes, and the team list will also display the number of surviving members. Let’s wait and see how they perform."
Lu Zixun, who had not expected an insect-killing competition to be so elaborate, shook his head.
It seems like Old Tang’s chances of taking first place are rather slim now.
The team led by Bing Xue Ning seemed extremely strong, which was an issue.
Indeed, even Xing Xingkong, who was essentially the overall team leader while also part of a team, would likely gain points rapidly, as would He Yixin from Team Zhenfei.
Tsk tsk, looking at it this way, Old Tang probably can’t even make it into the top three. This is going to be tough.
It was now the rest period, lasting two hours. With nothing to do, Lu Zixun stood up, ready to head to the supply station for a chat.
The entire supply station was directly divided into two areas for the contestants, after all, with different backings, casual conversation might even earn them the cold shoulder.
"Ding—Affinity value from Yao Meng +2000 detected."
Just as Lu Zixun arrived at the supply station, he was noticed by a light element spiritual ability user from Bing Xue Ning’s team.
Hearing about a kitty, Bing Xue Ning’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun.
After a moment of thought, she took out a sausage from her storage talisman and crouched down.
"Affinity value from Bing Xue Ning +3000 detected."
With a face full of question marks, Lu Zixun looked up at Bing Xue Ning. Did this person actually like cats?
Feeling biased in his heart, Lu Zixun shook his head. After telling himself that such thoughts were unacceptable, he ignored Bing Xue Ning and walked toward Old Tang’s team.
Bing Xue Ning, somewhat disappointedly, put the sausage away and stood up, her expression returning to its usual ’no trespassing’ look.
"Lord Xun, why have you come here?"
After entering the tent, Ran You was clearly happy to see Lu Zixun.
"Can’t I just come over for a look if there’s nothing wrong?"
He gave Ran You a look, this was his territory after all.
Looking around, he didn’t see Tang Tianyu.
Lu Zixun asked, "Where’s Old Tang? He should be resting. Where has he wandered off to?"
"He’s gone to look for an alliance."
Chen Yue opened his eyes, "After all, we don’t know what sort of situation Zone 14 is. Having an alliance is always a good thing."
Lu Zixun nodded and licked his paw, "What’s your goal this time? If you find an alliance, will there be enough points to go around?"
"The top three, we haven’t dared to think beyond that."
Shaking his head, Chen Yue hesitated for a while before looking at Lu Zixun and asking, "Lord Xun, I heard that the younger generation from Zone 14 has also come. Is that true?"
As Lu Zixun uttered these two words, Chen Yue visibly relaxed.
But when Lu Zixun let out the next three words, Chen Yue’s face suddenly turned dark.
