Chapter 673

"Do you two have any business?"

"Cooperation,"

The handsome middle-aged man, Tanaka, spoke up, "We hope we can cooperate. My group, Group 11, and your group, Group 26, Mr. Ling."

"Reason,"

"Mutual benefit through cooperation,"

Lin Ye watched calmly.

This made Tanaka feel awkward. "I believe that Mr. Ling, who takes the initiative to help other players, possesses high moral character. Cooperating with a player like you is something that can put people at ease."

Because they feel others can be trusted, they come seeking cooperation?

This reason is acceptable, but it cannot convince Lin Ye.

"I find it hard to trust the character of you two."

Tanaka: "..."

Koko: "..."

"We two are veteran players at level 3, possessing relatively rich experience in Eerie Games,"

Lin Ye glanced at Leng Shuang.

Leng Shuang nodded and revealed her nickname and level.

【Leng Shuang · lv5】.

Tanaka:???

Koko:???

A level 5 player, damn it.

And at this moment, Lin Ye also revealed his title and nickname.

【Ling · lv4】

Silence.

The two only had more silence.

They had encountered other players, all level 1 or level 2; they had assumed that level 3 players here should be considered the highest-level players.

As it turns out, not only are there level 4 players now, but there are even level 5 players.

This overwhelming, silent mockery made the two feel ashamed, both wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Bragging about one's own strength and rich experience in front of big shots—isn't this just self-torture?

They had thought Lin Ye's previous performance was just a flash of inspiration, an accidental display, but now it seems this is the other party's display of strength; it was their own narrow vision!

"You two,"

"Sorry, it was our own wishful thinking, but if you are willing, we still hope to establish a friendly relationship with you, helping each other between groups,"

Since they were already here, they couldn't just leave without having done anything!

If Ling refuses, they lose nothing; if Ling agrees, then the purpose of this visit is fulfilled—pure, absolute profit.

Their gazes were focused on Lin Ye.

Lin Ye had already become the undisputed person in charge of Group 26, even though Leng Shuang's level was higher than Lin Ye's, Leng Shuang never had any thoughts of fighting for command.

"No need,"

Lin Ye's one sentence caused all the expectations of Tanaka and Koko to fall through.

"However, when encountering danger, within the allowable scope, I can provide a certain amount of help,"

"Good, we will too, it's a deal,"

Tanaka said happily and immediately.

Soon,

The two left.

"Why not just agree?"

In Nakiri Erina's view, Lin Ye's answer just now was no different from agreeing.

"Because there are other players watching!"

Nakiri Erina thought for a good while before realizing what Lin Ye meant.

If they could agree to Group 11's request, then what about other groups!

Another point is that if they truly encountered a problem that was difficult to solve, would Group 26 go to help or not? If they didn't go to help, in the eyes of people from other groups, this would be an act of breaking trust.

Although credibility is sometimes useless, sometimes it is also very useful.

The final behavior of Lin Ye's previous 'Rice Bucket' project had already established a good image in the hearts of numerous players; this image should not be easily discarded.

Leng Shuang patted Nakiri Erina on the shoulder. "Rest! Soon it will be the second project."

"Ms. Leng, you are a level 5 player, don't you feel..."

She looked at Lin Ye.

"I don't feel that way. What I excel at is martial force; when it comes to intelligence, since Ling is here, I leave it to Ling."

Leng Shuang is not someone who doesn't think, otherwise she couldn't have made it to this day.

But now that there is someone she can trust, someone who is stronger than her in analysis, judgment, and other intellectual aspects, she is more willing to give up thinking and leave this matter to Lin Ye to handle.

Nakiri Erina was very curious about what the two had experienced in their last dungeon game that made this powerful level 5 player willing to unconditionally trust a level 4 male player.

"Coming, coming..."

"Sorry to have kept you distinguished guests waiting for so long,"

The masked man had changed his clothes at this time.

At this moment, he had changed into black sportswear, full of vitality.

"The second project of the Gourmet Sports Assembly is about to begin. Please prepare yourselves mentally, distinguished guests."

Masked figures wearing identical black sportswear appeared one by one.

They cooperated to push 5 small carts to the plaza, and once again placed black bags neatly on the plaza.

Some were small in volume,

And some were large in volume.

Soon,

The cloth bags were neatly placed together one by one.

"The second project of the Gourmet Sports Assembly is very simple,"

"The project name is 'Brisk Walk',"

"The requirement is very simple: in six hours, guests must follow this path and the road signs to reach the target location thirty kilometers away."

Six hours, thirty kilometers, an average of five kilometers per hour; this physical requirement is not very high, considered within the normal range.

"Of course, guests must bring the bags to the destination thirty kilometers away. These contain precious ingredients, so there can be no problems. Every guest must protect them well,"

He emphasized 'protect'.

This made the players realize the importance of the ingredients.

"Hey, hey, hey, what is inside, why are the sizes different."

The volume difference was too great.

If it were something heavier, wouldn't it seriously affect their forward speed?

"Ingredients, various ingredients, random. Players choose the ingredients they want to carry themselves,"

Players immediately scanned with their eyes; they wanted to find the bag with the smallest volume and the lightest weight.

Some were eager to move, preparing to strike immediately.

"However, this time is different from the previous selection. This time, players will follow the order of the previous round."

This caused members of many groups who hadn't achieved good results to show disappointed expressions.

"The last place chooses first,"

The next second,

Players from the groups at the back suddenly beamed with joy.

This must be the organizer's care for them, the players who were lagging in points!

Good thing, too good,

They just loved this kind of organizer.

"We are being targeted,"
