31: Re-enter the trial, Blackwater Group.
It was noon on the second day, and the sky was bright.
The scorching sun shone down from the clouds, casting light over the neat courtyard of the orphanage.
Xu Zhengyang, Xu Sanduo, and Li Shun stood at the entrance like javelins.
They were wearing proper black suits, as if they were about to attend some important meeting.
It was evident that they attached great importance to joining Lin Fei this time.
Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi walked out, followed by a few little ones looking around curiously.
"Loyalty!"
Xu Zhengyang saluted first, his movements standard and forceful.
Xu Sanduo and Li Shun followed closely, their voices loud and clear.
"Alright, alright, there's no need to be so polite." Lin Fei waved his hand and pointed to the small courtyard he had just bought next door.
"I've already arranged things over there, so you can settle in first. Don't worry about daily expenses; if you don't have enough killing coins, just let me know."
This morning, Lin Fei had been thinking that he needed to find a place for the three brothers to live.
So, he asked around among the neighbors.
When the uncle in the neighboring courtyard heard that Lin Fei was willing to buy his courtyard for 200,000 killing coins, he agreed immediately.
You have to realize that 200,000 killing coins, plus the money they had saved up, was enough for them to buy a quiet, comfortable, and convenient 100-square-meter apartment in the city with higher security.
The man was overjoyed and kept praising Lin Fei for truly making something of himself.
They had watched Lin Fei grow up and had given him more or less help along the way.
Then, Lin Fei contacted a moving company, and they moved out that morning.
"Thank you, Boss!" A look of gratitude flashed in Xu Zhengyang's eyes.
When the three of them left their previous security company, they had practically left with nothing, so having a place to stay was already a huge help.
Lin Fei said, "By the way, my trial attempts have refreshed. I plan to enter a third-floor trial first."
"I see that the team mode currently supports a maximum of three people. So, Zheng Yang, you come with me. San Duo and Li Shun, you stay behind for now to familiarize yourselves with the surroundings and also help me look after the orphanage."
"It hasn't been very peaceful around here lately, so please help out."
"Yes! Mission guaranteed!" Xu Zhengyang replied immediately, his eyes unable to hide his excitement.
You have to know, he had participated in the 40-person group mode of the security group, but even with that level of manpower, the killing coins and various rewards obtained were not as much as what he had received following Lin Fei last time.
Being able to follow this Boss, whose strength was unfathomable, was his greatest opportunity!
"Understood!"
"You got it, Boss!"
Although Xu Sanduo and Li Shun felt a little disappointed, they nodded immediately.
If they wanted the Boss to carry them through maps, they naturally had to be valuable and be able to help the Boss solve problems.
After a brief explanation, Lin Fei took Lin Mengzi and Xu Zhengyang to the Node Tower again.
This time, Xu Zhengyang was driving that Land Cruiser.
The firearms and ammunition in the car had already been moved down and placed in the warehouse.
Arriving at the Node Tower again, they parked the car in a nearby garage.
After a few days of fermentation, the area around the Node Tower had completely changed.
The original chaotic zone had been cleared and replaced with more standardized management.
The foot traffic inside the tower was several times larger than before; players were rushing about, and their equipment had obviously improved significantly.
Among them were some people whose clothing was clearly different from the conventional gun-toting soldiers; they were obviously some kind of professionals.
The three of them went directly to the third floor.
The number of players here was relatively smaller, but everyone had a steady aura and was well-equipped.
They were clearly veterans who had been through many trials.
"Boss, which difficulty are we entering this time?" Xu Zhengyang asked in a low voice, looking at the elevator doors flashing with different lights.
The trials on the third floor generally had a recommended Rank of Lv4-Lv6.
Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi were both Lv5. Xu Zhengyang was also Lv4.
He had already participated in several trials when he was at the security company.
"The most difficult team trial." Lin Fei pointed to the red elevator door on the third floor and said confidently.
He and his sister now had the strength to solo the most difficult trials.
"Understood." Xu Zhengyang nodded.
Lin Fei operated the System panel, created a team, and added Lin Mengzi and Xu Zhengyang.
【Team created successfully! Team name: Mount Buzhou Squad】
【Leader: Lin Fei (Lv5)】
【Member: Lin Mengzi (Lv5)】
【Member: Xu Zhengyang (Lv4)】
"Mount Buzhou Squad? Interesting." Lin Mengzi smiled.
The three stepped into the elevator door. A flash of light passed, and a sense of weightlessness followed. After the familiar shifting of light and shadow.
Lin Fei, Lin Mengzi, and Xu Zhengyang found themselves in a spacious, cold metal room. It was a bit like the Main God Space.
Soft blue light bands flickered on the walls of the room. The central area was empty, while five teleportation platform starting points, identical to those of other team members, were distributed around the perimeter.
In the corner of the room, there was also a wandering merchant NPC where one could purchase items during the preparation phase.
Besides the three of them, there were fifteen other people in the room, belonging to five different teams. It was clear that these people came from all over the world, with vastly different physical features.
Lin Fei's gaze quickly swept across the room. The most eye-catching group was a party standing directly opposite them.
There were six of them in total, divided into two teams, but they were clearly closely related.
The leader was a muscular, bald, dark-skinned man nearly two meters tall, wearing a set of deep black Level 3 heavy body armor that was clearly a product of the Node Tower.
His chest was covered in spare magazines and tactical gear, and he carried a modified heavy assault rifle on his back. The rifle was equipped with an advanced optical sight and a grenade launcher.
It is worth mentioning that the assault rifle even had a flaming colored paint job, like that of a pay-to-win player.
"Good grief! Just that paint job alone costs 180,000 killing coins!" Xu Zhengyang had seen it in the gun modification room on the third floor.
Lin Mengzi asked in surprise, "To spend so much money, is it just for decoration?"
"No, that paint job can add fire damage bonuses to bullets, increasing the power of bullets and grenades." Xu Zhengyang explained.
The members of that team all had eyes as sharp as eagles, carrying an aura of mercenary lethality.
Especially the 2-meter-tall man; a hideous scar ran across his nose bridge from his brow bone, making him look very fierce. Under his black tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, a roaring black wolf head was tattooed on his arm. It was the logo of "Blackwater Security"!
The five people beside the bald, muscular man were also well-equipped, in uniform black combat suits, with Level 3 armor as standard issue. Their weapons were also modified military-grade firearms. However, they didn't have the expensive paint job with enchantment effects like he did.
After Lin Fei became a mage, his mental sensing ability had greatly improved. He could feel that all six of these people were emitting faint energy fluctuations; although not strong, it was clear that they had at least used basic enhancement potions.
Xu Zhengyang also noticed the logo. "Boss, these people are from Blackwater Group. Blackwater is the largest security company in the Lighthouse Country!"
"There are actually six of them; they must have entered the matchmaking at the same time as a whole team, and as a result, two squads were matched together."
"My previous security company did the same thing, entering the trial at the same time. If two teams can be matched together like this, it increases the probability of completing the mission."
