On the stage, Lin Haifeng also explained this plan, which largely matched Wen Yu's speculations.
Then, Lin Haifeng stared intently at Wen Yu and Caius, waiting for their reactions — only Wen Yu, Caius, and Arcade among the top ten sequences were not under Lin Haifeng's control!
Arcade naturally couldn't hear this plan, and it was highly likely that Lin Haifeng would take action against Arcade before the demonic disaster, so Arcade's opinion didn't need to be considered.
The focus was on Wen Yu and Caius.
...
Wen Yu carefully pondered the pros and cons.
This plan had only one advantage — after giving the sequence number to the military, he wouldn’t have to face any hunting teams anymore. Right now, Wen Yu knew nothing about the incoming hunting team, including their strength, numbers, whether they relied on strong kills or assassinations; he was completely in the dark, which meant that the risks posed by this so-called hunting team were impossible to assess!
If he agreed to this plan, then this so-called human race hunting plan would have nothing to do with him.
However, the benefits of holding the title of sequence two...
Wen Yu looked at Lin Haifeng, who was quietly waiting at the podium, and his mind raced. After a moment, Wen Yu gently shook his head.
"I refuse!"
Sequence two was merely a hollow title, but the significance and hidden value behind this title were absolutely not empty!
The sequence itself concealed the secrets and purposes of the sovereign, and coupled with the benefits that came with the authority, Wen Yu was very certain of one thing — if this title were given to the military, it would be difficult to take it back — Wen Yu didn't even know what standards were used for judging the sequence or how positions were promoted or demoted.
Upon receiving Wen Yu's response, Lin Haifeng nodded expressionlessly and then turned his gaze to Caius.
Caius also shook his head. "I refuse too!"
This was not surprising; if Wen Yu could think of these things, Caius could naturally do the same.
Lin Haifeng, however, did not seem disappointed. He smiled at Wen Yu and Caius and said, "Your refusals are within my expectations. However, Tang Haofei has already agreed to this plan, so I hope you two can cooperate with our plan during tomorrow's sequence ranking battle and allow our selected personnel to replace Tang Haofei!"
After Lin Haifeng finished speaking, Wen Yu immediately began to contemplate.
As Tang Haofei's gatekeeper, to replace him, he had to challenge himself first, which meant his sequence number would be knocked down one by one until he was kicked out of the top ten, and only then could he challenge for sequence ten again, climbing back up step by step.
The process sounded complicated, but in reality, it was quite simple — it was just throwing fake punches!
The only thing that worried Wen Yu was if Tang Haofei firmly held onto sequence ten. If he couldn't defeat Tang Haofei, then he would only be left with sequence eleven.
As for whether Lin Haifeng would use such means, Wen Yu held a skeptical attitude!
...
Wen Yu and Caius fell into contemplation, while Lin Haifeng slowly took something out of his Spatial Ring and walked over to Wen Yu and Caius, signaling them to take a look.
It was a scroll, or rather, a contract.
Wen Yu and Caius took the contract and carefully read the text on it. Lin Haifeng explained, "This contract is itself an s-rank item. The breach of contract terms for both of you is quite lenient. The general content is that if you help us fulfill this plan, I will provide each of you with an ss-level skill scroll!"
"SS-level?"
Even Caius, whose expression was usually unchanging, couldn't help but show a surprised look.
An ss-level skill was quite a considerable rating for Wen Yu, not to mention for Caius.
"That's right, ss level!" Lin Haifeng confirmed.
However...
"I still don't believe it! I can't be sure if there's any ability in this world that can break a contract. What if your actual plan is just to use the identities of sequence two and sequence three? Won't that put us at your mercy?"
