Almost simultaneously, someone stood up in Japan, sharing the same thoughts as the evolver from West Asia.
The sea beasts became even more restless, with at least thousands emerging in response to the prompt.
Given the massive base of sea beasts, this number really isn’t that many.
The sudden appearance of a four-digit number of sea beast ‘challengers’ genuinely startled the humans, causing many who had intended to participate in the challenge to stop in their tracks.
At this point, the details of the challenge were still unclear, and approaching recklessly could mean being forced to challenge all the sea beasts. That would be exhausting, to say the least.
The instinct for self-preservation and caution among humans became fully evident at this time. Everyone decided to hold back and observe for a while since the Sea King Disk hadn’t specified when the registration would close.
The faces of the two challengers from West Asia and Japan turned pale. They hadn't expected the situation to unfold this way; they anticipated competition, but they never expected so many sea beasts to appear, scaring the other human challengers back.
The roulette wheel clearly separated the human camp from the sea beast camp, and if the two camps were to confront each other, those two… against thousands of sea beasts? Wasn’t that just courting death?
Thus, a feeling of regret nearly drove them to suicide.
They had hoped to take advantage of the opportunity while high-level evolvers showed little interest in lower-tier roulettes, but who could have thought they were pushing themselves toward the gates of hell?
With faces filled with despair, they turned to see their boss or close friends within their faction, only to find that companions who were usually warm and caring now coldly abandoned them.
Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and hesitated for a moment without taking action. Until he grasped the rules of the roulette, he had no intention of making a move either.
“Brother Ye.”
A voice interrupted Ye Zhongming's thoughts. He turned to see a member of the Xia Bai battle team. This all-female team had gained fame not only in Ying City but had also become a focal point throughout the entire Chinese region. Even upon arriving here, their all-female identity attracted attention, and many from other countries were intrigued by this well-equipped, attractive, and strong female battle team that exuded a chilling aura.
Many foreigners didn’t understand why so many beautiful and well-built individuals had gathered together.
Only Ye Zhongming and a few from Ying City knew that all these women had been ‘carefully chosen’ from a single city; how could they not be beautiful?
The women of the Xia Bai battle team had only two people in their hearts: Xia Bai and Ye Zhongming. Due to Xia Bai, this team often took on the role of guarding Ye Zhongming. They were mostly younger than him, but since Ye Zhongming was just in his early twenties, most of them were indeed older sisters to him.
However, due to their identity, these women, who were extremely cold towards anyone other than Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai, naturally wouldn’t call Ye Zhongming “brother,” nor did they want to call him “boss” like the men did. Thus, they gradually started referring to him as “Brother Ye,” the one who pulled them out of hell.
Ye Zhongming felt no discomfort in this; after all, his psychological age had surpassed thirty, and most in the team were indeed younger than him.
Ye Zhongming had some impression of this woman; her appearance resembled that of a very famous star known for her exceptional singing talent. Once, when Ye Zhongming was crafting equipment late into the night and unintentionally over-exerted his mental energy, causing a headache, Xia Bai had called this woman over to sing several soothing songs.
Now, she was a three-star evolver, not particularly outstanding among the entire team.
“You want to go?”
At this moment, she didn’t look for her immediate superior Xia Bai, but instead approached Ye Zhongming directly. If he still didn’t know what this woman was thinking, he wouldn’t be Ye Zhongming.
