"Everyone together, yay~"
Pop! Pop! Pop!
With the spray of three party poppers.
Meng Li, Ye Xiaoxiao, Zhou Minjun, and Ye Mo cheered in unison.
They were celebrating the two girls' successful passage through the preliminary rounds and entry into the top sixteen.
The start of the next top-sixteen competition would be held in two days.
Ye Xiaoxiao's side could be said to have been smooth all the way through. She never revealed her Skeleton Summoning skill.
Relying on the high attribute blessing of the "Scourge Divine Radiance Staff" and her "Death Breath" skillâŠ
She directly killed her way through the preliminary Zone A.
She made a name for herself as a "Melee Mage."
On the other hand, apart from encountering the dark horse Zhang Tingting, Meng Li didn't encounter any strong enemies afterwards.
Her high-burst ultimate move, "Oblique Moon Ghost Slash," was also kept hidden.
Hiding one's strength was also a tactic.
In the top sixteen in two days, the opponents that they would encounter wouldnât be as easy as in the preliminary rounds.
"Th⊠this is the one I saw first. How can you snatch it from my bowl?"
"Tch! What's the use of seeing it? It has to be eaten! Besides, I was the one who bought these small dried fish."
At the dinner table, Ye Xiaoxiao directly snatched the treasured small dried fish from Meng Li's bowlâŠ
Making Meng Li gnash her teeth in anger.
Puffing out her soft and cute cheeks, she made a "wurulu" threatening sound.
During this period of them living together, Ye Xiaoxiao and Meng Li often bickered and quarreled.
The two had disliked the sight of each other for a long time.
"Mr. Ye, I heard that you've advanced to Tier 2. When are you planning to contract your next player?"
Zhou Minjun drank her red wine and looked at Ye Mo, somewhat tipsily.
Because of Ye Xiaoxiao's outstanding performance, plus due to her well-placed advertisementâŠ
During this period, many players had already gone to Ye Mo to inquire about joining him.
But most of them were just inquiring and were still in a wait-and-see state.
During this period, there were also players who made offers, intending to buy Ye Mo's SSS-Rank Class Card.
Unfortunately, none of the prices met Ye Mo's expectations.
And some who had made offers that met his expectationsâŠ
Began to hesitate again after hearing that the Class Card was bound to the Agent.
The thinking of most people in this world was still to join the "Six Saint Sanctuaries."
This was similar to private enterprises and state-owned enterprises.
For ordinary people, the significance of private versus state-owned enterprises might not be too great as long as they can make money.
But for some children of major aristocratic families, it was different.
The competition between aristocratic families, besides money, was also about connections and networks!
The Agents of the Six Saint Sanctuaries had law enforcement powers. The higher the status, the greater the law enforcement power.
For the children of aristocratic families, this was undoubtedly a powerful logistical support in the struggle for the family headship!
This formed a bad phenomenon: those who could offer a high price to buy Ye Mo's Class Card minded Ye Mo's identity as a Wild God Agent.
And those who didn't mind Ye Mo's identity couldn't offer a high price.
"I plan to wait until after the national competition ends and my reputation is completely established before recruiting new players."
Regarding this point, Ye Mo wasnât in a hurry.
He knew very well that as Ye Xiaoxiao's and Meng Li's fame grewâŠ
The number of people making offers later would only increase, not decrease, and the price would naturally rise as well!
Especially when the two of them reached the top three and stood on the award podium.
At that time, the value of the Class Cards in his hands would be truly reflected!
Then, there would probably be more players willing to find him, and their offers would be higher!
Of course, if he were a person of the Six Saint Sanctuaries, then the price of an SSS-Rank cardâŠ
Could probably soar to hundreds of millions, or even billions!
"Let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to sell at a high price, undoubtedly choosing a player from an aristocratic family is the best option. But it's best not to sign a contract with this type of person.
Once you sign a player contract with them, it means taking a side. The struggles between aristocratic families are often the most intense!
This is very likely to implicate your family, and even the other players under your command."
Signing a player contract with a child of an aristocratic family wasnât just as simple as cultivating them for dungeons.
There were just too many interests involved.
Zhou Minjun's meaning was very clear.
She was reminding Ye Mo that he could sell Class Cards to children of aristocratic families.
But he mustnât sign a contract with them, because this was equivalent to being bound to a faction.
It was easy to be suppressed and targeted by other hostile factions then!
If Ye Mo were a person of the Six Saint Sanctuaries, he naturally wouldn't need to worry about these things.
But he was a Wild God Agent with not much backing.
Although children of aristocratic families also had to abide by the law, they had connections.
If it couldn't be done openly, then it would be done secretly, as long as no evidence was left to be found.
"Thank you for the reminder, Iâll be careful."
Ye Mo nodded in thanks, but sighed helplessly in his heart.
His SSS-Rank Class Cards were bound to his god's faction.
Although this could ensure that the players under him wouldnât betray him, it also meant that he lost the opportunity to sell them separately.
Unlike the "Berserker" Class Card, which could be sold at will even without signing a player contract.
It seemed that he still had to increase his own strength as soon as possible.
âAs long as I advance to Tier 3 and bestow upon myself the ability "Invulnerability to All Laws"...â
âAlmost no one can kill me.â
At Tier 4, I could basically walk sideways in this world!
Even if I couldn't beat a powerful enemy, I could wear them down to death!
"By the way, I should mention that your hope of sending these two into the top three might be in vain."
Seeing that Ye Mo had a plan in mind, Zhou Minjun changed the topic again.
"Why?"
Ye Mo looked at her, puzzled.
"I used my authority to check the information of the contestants this time."
Zhou Minjun took a deep breath and continued.
"You could say that theyâre all freaks!
Especially the top three dark horses. Their levels are all as high as around 35, and theyâre all SSS-quality classes. During the finals, I estimate that theyâll most likely advance to Level 36.
Even if I do my best to carry Ye Xiaoxiao to grind levels these couple of days, at most, before the finalsâŠ
I can raise her to Level 22. As for Meng Li, I think Level 24 is the absolute limit."
The level gap was nearly 13 levels.
And the opponent's class grade wouldnât be lower than the two girls.
The equipment on them was also most likely Transcendental quality and above.
"En, I'm aware of this."
Ye Mo nodded, took a sip of red wine, and continued.
"But I still have confidence in sending them into the top three."
"Hmm?"
Hearing these words, Zhou Minjun became interested, turning her head to size up Ye Mo curiously.
"I just advanced to Tier 2, and I still have one Secret Realm Trial unused, so I plan to go to the Secret Realm."
The so-called Secret Realm Trial was a special dungeon that only Agents could enter.
And one only got a chance to enter each time they advanced a tier.
For every full hour spent inside, one could obtain an Evolution Crystal, with an upper limit of 10.
This thing could allow a player to level up directly, ignoring experience points.
But it was a locked item. It could only be given to a currently contracted player, and it couldnât be traded or sold.
"You want to enter the Secret Realm Trial?"
Zhou Minjun's brow furrowed slightly.
She was now a Tier 4 Agent, but she had only used the opportunity for the Secret Realm Trial once.
Because...
Once an Agent died in the Secret Realm, it was death in the true sense!
And it was said that there might be God Servants of Evil Gods, or even an Evil God's true body, entrenched inside!
Too many Agents had died directly because of entering the Secret Realm!
The only time she entered the Secret Realm, she also just wandered on the outskirts and didn't dare to go deep at all.
But even so, she almost lost her life.
Since then, she had never used the opportunity to enter the Secret Realm again.
So to this day, no Agent has ever cleared the Secret Realm.
Most just lasted a few hours, taking a few Evolution Crystals before coming out.
"Don't worry, it's very hard to kill me."
Ye Mo smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly.
He had âIndestructible Body.â Lasting ten hours in the Secret Realm was definitely not a problem for him.
As for encountering an Evil God...
That couldn't be better!
It was a free reward for him.
