Chương 71: Seeking Rescue, the Price, and Team Formation

Lin Shuxuan returned to his dormitory.

Ye Lingyue's sudden serious illness not only caused him to lose credit points to purchase materials, but also greatly reduced the team's combat effectiveness.

According to the hospital's treatment plan, she will need to undergo surgery and follow-up examinations, which will prevent her from making it to the upcoming deathmatch base.

The combined effect of these two factors significantly weakened their team's combat effectiveness to a considerable degree.

After all, Hai Lanlan's abilities are more supportive, and the more people there are, the greater her role becomes; her own combat strength can only be assessed as that of a roadside idiot.

If he had reached the Transcendent Realm, things would have been fine, but now Lin Shuxuan himself is barely able to protect himself.

Furthermore, he doubted whether Hailanlan had saved enough credits to pay for the entrance fee to the Deathmatch Base.

Perhaps I should seek help from the outside world... Lin Shuxuan, who had suddenly lost 30, 000 credits, was extremely vulnerable at this moment; Guan Yunyang's name came to mind.

Although he didn't know why, this major general and director of the Xinhai City Public Security Bureau took special care of him from the beginning, even to the point of not asking for anything in return.

Gong Yuan and Qin Feng also frequently offered assistance, but they were clearly after Lin Shuxuan himself and wanted to recruit him into their ranks.

He has always remained cautious about offering this kind of help, even if it comes at a cost.

Although Guan Yunyang never made any demands on him, this kind of uncommitted gift was even more worrying.

Just like Bai Shasha back then.

However, recent events have indeed gotten out of his control. He has no clue what happened to Ye Lingyue's inexplicably shattered path.

This is something that only Guan Yunyang can handle.

Open the chat window and review the recent events with the Major General.

A reply came shortly afterward.

[Guan Yunyang: I'll handle it. Next time something like this happens, tell me earlier. Do you have enough credits?] What exactly was I holding onto before...? Lin Shuxuan felt a warm glow in his heart.

【not enough. 】 [Guan Yunyang: There's nothing we can do if it's not enough. If all else fails, we'll have to ask Qin Feng and Gong Yuan for help.] Asking them for help is like becoming their son, right...? Lin Shuxuan closed the chat box, thinking to himself, Guan Yunyang couldn't help with the credit points either.

Guan Yunyang must have some idea about this series of events, but for some reason, he refused to reveal the details.

This may be the unstated price. As a high-ranking official in the Federation, he is bound to have many enemies. Growing up under his support will inevitably lead to being targeted from the shadows.

Although being used as a pawn is unpleasant, all we can do now is wait for Guan Yunyang to reveal his hand.

"What's wrong? Why the long face? Tell me and cheer me up!"

Li Rufeng sat on his bed, making light of the teasing.

Lin Shuxuan glanced at it:

"Please don't sit on my bed wearing your outer pants; there are a lot of germs there."

"oh."

Li Rufeng slightly rose and was about to take off his trousers.

"Never mind, I've already sat down."

His roommate had a feminine appearance; his profile, partially obscured by his sideburns, was indistinguishable from a girl's. Lin Shuxuan found it hard to accept that someone with such a face would make such gestures.

"The Deathmatch Base event starts in two weeks. Are you planning to participate?"

He asked, recalling what he had seen when he first arrived at the dormitory, Li Rufeng's strength should be a notch above Tang Hao's back then, otherwise Tang Hao would not have been so wary of his roommate.

"I'm not participating. Qin Yuanba has been conscripted by his family, and my team only has one idiot, Lu Xiaoguo. Do you expect me to fight those monster juniors from the Federation all by myself?"

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Lu Xiaoguo.

The eccentric young man with purple highlights and an eye patch seemed oblivious, still facing the window with his back to the other roommates.

This is a good opportunity... Lin Shuxuan learned that Qin Yuanba had left the team, and since he was currently without teammates, he could form a team with his two roommates.

It's not that I look down on Hai Lanlan, but in high-intensity competitions, she is indeed the one who drags the team down.

Lin Shuxuan did not accept the extraordinary path, otherwise it would have been easy for him to carry her to victory.

But of course, it's a different story if you haven't saved enough money yet.

He extended an invitation to his two roommates and briefly summarized Ye Lingyue's injuries.

"hehe."

Li Rufeng smiled mockingly:

"Now you want to team up with me? Too late! You'd better think carefully about what price you should offer to satisfy me."

Lu Xiaoguo, who had turned his back to everyone, turned around:

"You have given away your wealth for your companions, which is exactly the will that I, the Lord of Evil Dragons, want to protect. I will bring my retinue to lend you a helping hand."

Before Lin Shuxuan could understand what Lu Xiaoguo was saying, he saw Li Rufeng gritting his teeth:

"Who are you calling your 'family'? I'm clearly the captain every time we compete!"

An incredulous look appeared in Lu Xiaoguo's single eye; he clearly hadn't expected Li Rufeng to be so arrogant and ignorant.

The two of them fought for a while.

Li Rufeng straightened his hair:

"Lin Shuxuan, as your roommate, I have to remind you first that the Deathmatch Base has an extremely high entry threshold; the entry fee is 10, 000 credits."

"If I replaced Lu Xiaoguo with Qin Yuanba, I would have a better chance, but this idiot can only be used as a punching bag. If it's just the two of us, we might not be able to successfully evacuate in this match."

Lin Shuxuan nodded. He understood Li Rufeng's concerns. On paper, this team still did not have the advantage.

They have no money to buy weapons, and have never even touched a weapon. In terms of equipment, they are far behind the descendants of the Nine Clans.

Moreover, his own martial arts cultivation has entered a period of slow growth. Without the additional support of the Hextech system, the group of prodigies from the Nine Clans already possess combat power no less than his.

However, Lin Shuxuan was confident.

He didn't rush to answer, but instead unfolded a map of the Deathmatch base.

"In each competition, six teams will land outside the base."

Lin Shuxuan analyzed the map, which is funnel-shaped overall. The top is the respawn point for all teams, the middle is the resource core area filled with tens of thousands of credits, and the bottom is the only withdrawal point on the entire map.

Unless the six teams purchase a 5000-point access card, they must enter the core area from the central control point in the center of the field.

The central control area is narrow; if two teams are located within it, a major battle is inevitable.

"I will buy access cards to bypass the central control and enter the core area directly to take away the valuable alien beast materials."

Li Rufeng directly refuted:

"It's pointless. The opening of the extraction point will announce the entire area and start a countdown. Even if we use the portal card to gain an advantage, we will still face other teams at the extraction point."

Lin Shuxuan nodded, and was about to add something when Li Rufeng nodded as if he had just realized something:

"I understand, you want to directly absorb the Dao path with your own body and break through on the spot!"

You should read less martial arts novels; you've really been poisoned by them... Lin Shuxuan shook his head.

The plan to house the deep cave was one he had decided on long ago, and it was not to be changed.

However, I do need to explain my plans to my two teammates in detail.

And so on... and so on...

......

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The deathmatch base for the first half of Dingding's military academy career is about to begin.
