He was one of the supervisors, in charge of the team-related issues for this event.
Without uttering a word, he signaled for everyone to follow him to a hidden area in the Gentleman Hall.
Just as everyone was about to follow him out, a hurried figure burst through the main door,
The person who rushed in was Yi Chen, with Jin, who was completely asleep and unresponsive to the outside world, still on his back.
Considering the crucial team selection upcoming, Yi Chen chose to use Teacher Zede’s method from last time to carry her over, allowing Jin to rest as much as possible.
The gentleman with the stone mask just turned to look back once before continuing to lead the way.
Finally, the three-person team had gathered at the last moment.
Yi Chen quickly apologized, “Mr. Reagan, I’m sorry~ The preparations last night took too long, and Jin always needs to undergo physical processing before traveling far.”
“The timing is just right, isn’t it? Let’s catch up.”
The three gathered team members followed at the rear of the main group, with Yi Chen also noticing that Reagan seemed different today, though he did not point it out directly.
“By the way, here’s your Gentleman’s Certificate.”
As Yi Chen handed over the Gentleman’s Certificate, he tried to touch Reagan’s fingers… However, before his fingers even got close, an electric arc shot out directly.
It struck the surface of his skin like a heavy slap.
Yi Chen’s entire right hand went numb as a result, with his fingertips feeling a sharp pain.
At the same time, the unexpected electric shock made Jin show signs of waking up, as her body sensed the danger.
Reagan also quickly apologized, “Sorry, my body was connected to a new device yesterday, and it has not yet fully adapted.
However, normal movement and combat will not be affected at all. Give me just one day, and I will fully adapt, avoiding any recurrence of what just happened.”
The group followed the gentleman with the stone mask to an underground area that required verification of a supervisor’s identity, a circular arena made with high-strength materials and sealed construction, specifically used to test the level of the Gentleman Teams.
Once everyone had entered, the stone door closed on its own.
The gentleman with the stone mask finally broke his silence and announced the selection mode that everyone was most concerned about.
“For this Relic incident, seven teams have registered. We will now ‘battle’ to determine the three more capable teams that will qualify to execute the event.”
As he spoke, the gentleman had already constructed a stone box for drawing lots.
“Send one representative from each team to draw a lot. Teams with matching numbers will battle each other, with the winners being selected.”
When he finished explaining the rules, someone immediately raised a question: “There are seven teams here. With this drawing method, one team will be left over. How will that be handled?”
“There’s a blank slip in the drawing box. The team that draws it will be automatically eliminated. ‘Luck’ is just as important in Grey Zone exploration and Relic searching.”
By then, two people had already stepped forward to draw.
Seeing this, Yi Chen looked at his two teammates: “Both of you are luckier than me, you decide who goes…”
Jin showed no interest in this kind of drawing, continuously complaining, “This is so boring. Why do we need to draw lots? Wouldn’t it be better to just let everyone fight it out in a big melee to pick the top three teams?”
At that moment, Reagan suddenly said, “No need to go up, the outcome is already decided.”
The previous team had just drawn the blank slip and left the underground area with grim expressions.
