Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

What makes this competition more like a battle royale is that as the safe area continues to shrink, the probability of teams meeting on an island will become greater and greater.

In this situation where the total points are limited, it is unlikely that the two encountering teams will be able to get along peacefully, and fighting will usually break out.

Only the winner can get the points on the island and move on.

In fact, the rules of the game seem to encourage fighting between different teams, and if one team eliminates another team, they will also receive a point.

"There is no chicken game in this world... Which genius came up with this kind of game rules? It's really interesting."

After reading the rules of the competition, Yun Xiao exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.

From this perspective, what Gu Zixia said was true. Under this kind of rules, team members are more important than in regular competitions.

After all, in this situation where a three-person team is competing for points, the stronger the overall strength of the team and the better the level of coordination, the more efficient they will be in obtaining points, which will improve the effect whether they are fighting with other teams or clearing the current island.

But then again, who should I look for?

Yun Xiao thought for a moment, and two most suitable candidates instantly emerged in his mind.

The first person is Bi Ningshuang.

This girl is one of the more capable ones among the peers I have met so far.

During the previous school team competition, Bi Ningshuang’s strength had already reached the elite level.

Moreover, after that competition, the side effects of her frost bloodline were directly eliminated by Yun Xiao. Without the trouble of the side effects of the bloodline, Bi Ningshuang's strength must have improved within this month, and once she activates her frost bloodline, her combat effectiveness will increase significantly again.

Yun Xiao thought of this girl for two reasons. First, after getting to know her, he found that Bi Ningshuang seemed to be the type who didn't talk much but was very reliable. This kind of person was most suitable to be a teammate in the game.

And secondly...after learning about Bi Ningshuang's situation, Yun Xiao still wanted to help her more if he had the chance.

After all, these days, it is rare to find people who have a good background but insist on working hard to make a living.

Bi Ningshuang was the first choice, and the second one was naturally Linka, the successor of Bodao whom Yun Xiao had just met on the Qinglong not long ago.

Needless to say, the reason for choosing him was that he already had the power of waves, and that Lucario was already a gym leader-level Pokémon at the time... If he could join the team, Yun Xiao even felt that he would definitely be able to win the championship.

Although we have two candidates, whether they are willing to come is another matter.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao took out his cell phone and first dialed the number that Linka left for him.

"Hello? Who are you? What can I do for you?"

On the other end of the phone, Linka's voice sounded somewhat puzzled.

"I wonder if you still remember the one who faced the giant poisonous jellyfish with you."

Yun Xiao smiled.

"Yun Xiao!!! It's you! I've been so busy with training lately that I almost forgot to give you my business card."

Linka's voice immediately became excited.

"Why? Are you planning to visit the Forest of Waves? I can welcome you anytime."

"Well, I might have something to do in the future and need to come to the Forest of Waves, but not in the next few days."

Yun Xiao said truthfully;

"I called you this time to ask you - are you interested in participating in a competition with me?"

"The China Youth Competition will start tomorrow morning in Haining City. I'm still short of two teammates, so I came to ask you, are you interested?"

In fact, when Yun Xiao heard the other party say that he was busy with training recently, he felt that Linka might not be able to be called this time.

After all, Bird Forest is some distance away from Haining City, and it is hard to say whether Linka has time to participate.

However, after hearing Yun Xiao's words, Linka gave a direct affirmative answer.

"Okay, it's no problem if I team up with you. I'll be there tonight."

Yun Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"You agreed so quickly? You didn't even ask what the specific competition was? Also, aren't you busy training recently?"

On the other end of the phone, Linka smiled brightly.

"Hey, hey, why are we still talking about this? We've been through life and death together. What's the saying? When a brother is in trouble, you have to help him."

"As for training... you're going to be competing in this match, right?"

“Battles are needed, and they may be frequent.”

Yun Xiao answered truthfully.

"That's right. What's the point of training? It's better to practice and practice."

Linka chuckled.

"To be more precise, I need the championship reward of this competition, two top-level secret treasures..."

Yun Xiao thought of another key thing and planned to talk to Linka about the secret treasure.

After all, this competition is a team competition, but I need those two secret treasures, so I have to discuss it with Linka, such as letting the other rewards go to him, or compensating him with some resources and money.

However, Linka didn't even listen to the end and just said it was okay.

"It's okay. Just take the reward. After all, you saved me once. This is nothing."

"Then it's settled, huh? I'll buy a boat ticket to Haining City. Where should I meet up then?"

Yun Xiao was still a little stunned that the other party had agreed so quickly. After thinking for a while, he responded:

"We haven't decided where to meet yet, but I'm also booking a flight for tonight, so I'll let you know in advance."

"I'll forward the rules of the game to you later. Oh, yes, there may be another team member this time. She's my classmate, a girl named Bi Ningshuang. She's quite capable."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Linka's cautious voice sounded.

“Is she as good as me?”

Yun Xiao thought about it.

"Probably... No."

"Then I'm relieved! See you tonight!"

Linka seemed to be relieved.

Yun Xiao had no idea where this man's emotions were coming from, so he could only respond with "see you in the evening" and hung up the phone.

After forwarding the rules of the competition to Linka, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

If Linka joins, the two of them should be enough even if Bi Ningshuang doesn't come.

Two gym masters should have the effect of a dimensionality reduction attack on most other players.

However, if I could call upon Bi Ning Shuang, it would definitely be much better than getting a random teammate.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao found Bi Ningshuang's phone number again.

The last time they contacted each other was during the school team competition. After that, Bi Ningshuang never took the initiative to look for Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao naturally never contacted him either.

However, Yun Xiao did not forget one very important thing. He once triggered an SS-level mission - to find the old principal of Demon University, who was Bi Ningshuang's father.

If you want to complete this task, asking Bi Ningshuang for some clues about her father is obviously an important step.

And if I don't get closer to Bi Ningshuang, it would be difficult to ask such questions directly.

Yun Xiao felt that this competition was a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and pressed the dial button.

To Yun Xiao's surprise, Bi Ningshuang answered the phone faster than Linka. The call was connected before the busy tone even sounded a second time.

"Yun Xiao? Long time no see."

Bi Ningshuang's cold, indifferent, and emotionless voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing this familiar voice, the other person's face, as cold as a glacier, seemed to appear in front of Yun Xiao again.

This took him a while to organize his words before he spoke.

"Student Bi Ningshuang, how are you doing recently?"

"Very good. The Snow Demon Girl had already reached the initial stage of gym leader the day before yesterday."

Bi Ningshuang said lightly.

Yun Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I didn’t expect Bi Ningshuang to break through to become a gym master so quickly.

Others can't compare with me. I have the modifier behind me to support me, but Bi Ningshuang relies entirely on her own efforts and talent.

If you calculate carefully, when I first entered the Magic City University, Bi Ningshuang's Snow Boy was only at the professional level.

After evolving into a Snow Demon Girl in the battle at the beginning of school, her strength was raised to elite level.

Now, in less than two months, the Snow Demon Girl has reached the level of a gym owner.

This speed of strength improvement made Yun Xiao feel ashamed.

If I didn't have a modifier, I might not be able to level up so quickly?

"Congratulations..Your progress is so fast."

Yun Xiao sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"I know I'm still a lot slower than you, but that's nothing."

"Also, the Snow Demon Girl was able to improve so quickly because of the time you helped me."

"Though I don't know how you did it."

Bi Ningshuang's voice continued to sound faintly, sounding serious and solemn.

"that time?"

Yun Xiao took a moment to react and finally understood.

What she was referring to was probably the time when she used the skill extractor to help Bi Ningshuang remove the side effects of the frost bloodline.

If that's the case... then the Snow Demon Girl's strength is increasing so fast, it's a little more acceptable...

Just as Yun Xiao was thinking, he heard Bi Ningshuang whisper four words in a very soft voice.

"But thank you."
