Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 315 What a coincidence~ Are you also coming to pilot a mecha?
About seven days ago, someone in the Starry Sky Club posted a screenshot of something in the group chat, like showing off a payslip.

The group chat, which had been mostly occupied by the Twin Towers challenge, was instantly ignited with enthusiasm by this screenshot—

The item is called the "Twin Tigers Contract," a contract item that allows two people to team up.

The items are based on the "Hot-Blooded Fighting" dungeon, which is a fighting-type dungeon that is different from the regular dungeons that focus on killing enemies.

Players must team up in pairs and engage in 2v2 hand-to-hand combat. After a series of elimination rounds, they will be awarded the only remaining spot to advance. The final opponent will be the champion fighting duo, "Tiger One and Tiger Two." If the player wins against them, they will receive the "Tiger Treasure Chest," which has a chance to contain the "Twin Tiger Contract."

The attributes of this contract are somewhat similar to the "Double Dragon Contract" in Double Dragon, and the overall attribute bonus is significantly higher than that of the "Dead or Alive" contract between Luo Meiling and Eve.

Of course, attribute bonuses are the least important factor; what matters most is that the two players in the contract can enter the same main quest and remain in a team.

The sense of security that comes from having a teammate you can trust to rely on is incomparable to that of random teammates.

Encountering those three reliable guys in Cheng Tian's first main story mission is a rare and precious occurrence. This is already the top-tier setup in a random team, and the probability of encountering them again is extremely low.

During her sparring match with Cheng Tian, ​​Eileen realized that Cheng Tian had completely surpassed her in overall strength, whether in terms of offense, defense, or summoning.

While she herself possesses melee capabilities, she is still far inferior to a true melee guardian like Bazett. If she and Mina, a dual archer duo, want to achieve a better output environment, then someone like Cheng Tian, ​​with his defensive barrier, numerous summonable units, and powerful melee guardian, is currently Eileen's best choice, without exception.

Yes, she absolutely did not intend to assert her dominance over Fina through the team contract, absolutely not!
However, genuine team-up contracts are almost never seen on the market, and the one that this guy posted a screenshot in the group is the only team-up contract that has been seen outside the auction area during this period.

So after a flurry of noise in the group chat, the guy who posted the screenshot unsurprisingly sent a private message.

Birds of a feather flock together. While there are bound to be some crazy and some eccentric players among those who are included in the Starry Sky group, they certainly won't be messing with other people's mentality for no reason.

Since the other party posted the screenshot in the group, it means that he definitely intends to sell it.

There are probably two reasons why they don't sell it to an auction house.

One possibility is that he urgently needs some money and can't wait for the auction at the beginning of next month.

Another possibility is that he doesn't lack money, but he's just spreading the word to see what good things he can get from other players who urgently need team contracts.

Eileen tried sending private messages to inquire, but at first there was no response. However, perhaps knowing that she had aroused the interest of others in the group, she was sure that not replying would make them resentful. So she "tactfully" rejected Eileen's purchase intention and offer.

At this point, Cheng Tian joined in.

Having already obtained the Demon Gauntlet, he can use Red Souls to enhance the non-critical levels of his equipment and items. Theoretically, as long as he kills enough enemies, he can save all the money for non-critical levels and use it for other things.

He also really wanted the Twin Tigers contract.

In terms of ability composition, Cheng Tian's ranged attack and suppression capabilities rely heavily on dungeon attributes, and are greatly limited if the dungeon is not on the technology side.

As for the magic-side abilities, the skills of the Sun Mask and Nightmare form are still biased towards defense and damage to dark units, while the latter is a high-damage move that cannot be used frequently. Irene's archery ability, which is not restricted by either side, can obviously fill the gap in the middle.

As for the Phantom Sword... Cheng Tian plans to hide the ability attached to these underpants under Eileen's archer ability.

As the sixth person in line, how can I not hold back a few tricks?
"What? Not enough money? Eighty thousand isn't enough? This person has quite the appetite~"

Cheng Tian replied while frowning.

"...That's just how unreasonable the seller's market is; who told us to be the demanders?" This time, it was Eileen's turn to comfort Cheng Tian.

"Is it really impossible to find it elsewhere?"

"No, this stuff doesn't circulate much. Apart from crazy guys like this, it can only be sold to newbies who know nothing."

Just like when you sold the knight's armor.

"That's just a lack of experience."

Cheng Tian looked indifferent and then immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, what are your dungeon's affixes?"

"TNND!"

Upon seeing Cheng Tian's question, Eileen immediately swore. Instead of replying directly in the private message, she simply left a message saying, "Wait for me to come over!" and then quickly arrived.

The woman's gist was that the space was targeting her. She had just completed bloodline purification and perfected her professional abilities, and was performing well in both magic-based and technology-based dungeons. However, the space assigned her a dungeon entry called "Mech Combat".

"Just tell me, isn't this targeting me?"

Eileen was clearly annoyed, and her gaze kept wandering towards the various intelligence dealers who were surrounded by other players.

Whether she likes it or not, she's determined to enter this main storyline. If she doesn't want to die, she can only try to get some potentially useful information and items in advance.

But soon, Cheng Tian showed the same keywords he had received.

Eileen immediately put on an expression that first showed delight, then followed by distress.

While this isn't a universally used term, it's not exactly rare either. The number of players potentially affected is unknown. Even if two players have identical term descriptions, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be assigned to the same instance, and even if they're in the same instance, it doesn't mean they're in the same faction. There are just too many variables involved.

Just imagining Cheng Tian as the opposing side filled Eileen with a sense of despair.

Moreover, even though Cheng Tian's Heart God skills were sealed, Eileen knew perfectly well that Cheng Tian still possessed abilities highly compatible with mechs.

"You know what, if the distribution were really as I wanted, and if you and I were on different sides, it might have been a better situation."

Cheng Tian said mysteriously.

……

As the teleportation light enveloped them, a large number of players disappeared from the plaza.
