CHAPTER TEXT:
PS: There was a bit of a bug in yesterday's chapter. Thanks to the reminder from readers, it has been corrected. The specific content can be checked in the previous chapter. Essentially, even if a challenger fails, they won't be teleported out of the treasure land until the end, but they still only have one chance to fail the challenge. Sorry... I've been very busy these past two days and managed to create a little bug. I should be done with all the busy work by the day after tomorrow; I'll be updating more and hopefully have a big breakthrough.
...
"You're looking for Wen Yu?"
Without any breath, heartbeat, or presence, if it weren't for the sudden voice, Yang Hong would have never noticed someone standing behind him.
Turning around abruptly, he saw a figure leaning against Door No. 1, smiling as he stared at Yang Hong.
Sequence One, Tang Haofei.
Yang Hong swallowed hard and nodded slightly.
Tang Haofei took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Let's go together."
In the next moment, the door opened, and Wen Yu's figure appeared behind it...
...
Inside the room, Yang Hong took the initiative to go to the kitchen to prepare some drinks, while Wen Yu sat in a chair, flipping through the manual in his hands again.
Meanwhile, Sequence One—Tang Haofei—was holding a glass of freshly squeezed juice, sipping through a straw while casually evaluating Wen Yu with his legs crossed.
A slightly eerie atmosphere filled the entire room.
Ten minutes later...
Yang Hong still hadn't come out of the kitchen, and it was unclear what drinks would take so long to prepare. Eventually, it was Wen Yu who could no longer withstand Tang Haofei's gaze. He threw his hands on the table and gestured to Tang Haofei.
"What are you here for?"
Tang Haofei shrugged, "Just bored and wanted to sit here. Besides, you're more welcoming than I expected; otherwise, you wouldn't let me in."
This treasure land had excellent safety measures in place; even someone with the strength of a level 5 professional couldn't forcibly break in. The fact that Tang Haofei could leisurely drink juice in Wen Yu's room was undoubtedly because Wen Yu had allowed it.
As for Wen Yu's intention—he had none. In this treasure land, professionals couldn't attack each other, so there was no need to guard against any sneak attacks. Interacting with Sequence One could only be beneficial.
Unfortunately, Wen Yu underestimated one thing.
Tang Haofei was clearly more uncouth than expected—walking into Wen Yu's room was like returning to his own home, constantly scrutinizing the owner of the room...
He exuded an unmistakable air of arrogance.
"Come on, what do you want from me?"
"Nothing much, really. I was just bored in my room, so I came to check on you. By the way, little secretary, get me another glass of juice."
"At your command, my Lord..."
Wen Yu's intelligent little secretary was also a completely shameless character. When faced with someone of a higher rank than Wen Yu, he readily betrayed the master he had just acknowledged.
Perfectly occupying the nest...
Wen Yu suddenly regretted letting this guy in.
...
Casually chatting with Tang Haofei, who was also good at conversation, no matter what Wen Yu said, he could always pick up the thread, but he revealed not a shred of useful information.
This made Wen Yu deeply understand that this guy not only had terrifying strength but also a quick wit.
Ten minutes later, Yang Hong finally emerged from the kitchen, bringing drinks and snacks for both Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.
Then, the television screen switched, and the challenge qualification battle began.
...
The so-called qualification challenge was a segment set up to eliminate a large number of weaklings—after all, if a level four or above professional could challenge sequences from ninety-one to a hundred, these ten sequences would each have to fight tens of thousands of matches... Even though the sovereign would completely restore their physical state after each battle, the mental burden was not easy to shake off.
