53: Hundred-player faction confrontation mode

Lin Mengzi walked over to Lin Fei and said softly, "The three of them are indeed very reliable."

"Mm," Lin Fei watched them disappear, "Professional matters should be left to professionals."

Time quickly came to evening.

The children at the orphanage had already fallen asleep, and Aunt Chen had also returned to her room to rest.

Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi were in the living room, studying the two sealed treasure chests from his second sister, Shi Jin.

They were discussing how to choose the rewards.

Just then, Lin Fei received a private message from Zhou Kai.

The wording of the private message was very respectful and earnest.

"Sir, I apologize for the intrusion.

We three brothers are immensely grateful for your guidance, which allowed us to survive the trial world this time.

Additionally, we were lucky enough to open blue rare-grade class change books from the silver treasure chests; I changed my class to [Flame Boxer], Li Feng to [Gale Archer], and Zhao Gang to [Shield Guard].

After much thought, we believe that only by following you will we have hope for the future.

We three brothers are willing to serve you like dogs and horses, if you would be willing to take us in!"

After reading the message, Lin Fei looked up and met Lin Mengzi's gaze.

Lin Mengzi was incredibly intelligent; seeing Lin Fei's expression, she guessed the general idea and smiled, "Those people added you as a friend?

Zhou Kai and his companions are good people; they are capable and know how to be grateful.

Since I changed my class to Necromancer, my judgment of people has improved greatly.

They are good people.

Having more helpers is always good."

"I think so too."

After Lin Fei became a Supreme Magister, his spiritual power became strong.

Perceiving the elements of heaven and earth, it was as if he had a bond with the unseen.

When he made many choices, if a choice was wrong, he would distinctly feel uncomfortable.

But after deciding on some choices, his whole body and mind would feel comfortable; this was the guidance of the Dao that a Magister obtained from the unseen.

Lin Fei nodded; the performance of Zhou Kai's three men in the trial was decent.

Although their strength was temporarily not as good as Xu Zhengyang's, they were more than enough as supplementary strength for the team.

He picked up his terminal and replied to Zhou Kai.

"Alright."

"From now on, we're family; no need to be so polite.

My location is the Zhou Mountain Welfare Institute in the Lower District of New Jeju; come find me."

"Okay!"

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

"Loyalty!!!"

It was almost an instant reply; Zhou Kai sent an excited, somewhat incoherent, thank you emoji and message.

Then, he put down his phone.

Lin Fei thought for a moment and finally chose the 500,000 experience point item from the four options.

The reason was simple: killing coins were not items and could not be strengthened ten thousandfold.

He temporarily had no use for class change books because he already had a profession.

However, this 500,000 experience book, that was an item!

Although this item could only enhance basic skills and skills not on the skill tree.

But it was still very good.

If 500,000 were increased ten thousandfold!

It would become 5 billion experience points!

Then his Monument Breaking Hand could be instantly maxed out!

As for Lin Mengzi, she chose super rare equipment, which further boosted her combat power.

The night passed without a word.

The next morning, the sun rose.

Xu Zhengyang and the others returned to the orphanage; his eyes were a bit dark, and his combat uniform was stained with dust, clearly indicating he hadn't slept all night, but his spirits were exceptionally high.

He went directly to Lin Fei, who was exercising in the yard, and handed him an encrypted storage device.

"Boss, I have not failed you!"

"The locations and basic activity patterns of the four targets are all here.

That Judge of the Crusaders was the most cunning and hidden the deepest; he took us a lot of effort.

Colonel David's guards were indeed tight, but he has a mistress whom he sometimes meets at night."

Lin Fei took the storage device and patted Xu Zhengyang's shoulder: "Well done, go get some rest."

"It's no trouble, Boss!"

Xu Zhengyang and the others chuckled and turned to find a place to catch up on sleep.

Lin Fei took the storage device back into the house, connected it to his large foldable phone, and carefully checked the information inside.

The data on the four targets was well-organized, with activity times, locations, and possible guard strengths all marked, and there were even a few blurry photos taken from a distance.

"It won't be long before I wipe out all four of them."

The invaders are despicable.

Those who act as lackeys for the invader party deserve to die even more!

......

At lunchtime, the hot sun streamed through the clean glass windows, spilling onto the dining table.

The welfare institute was getting livelier.

Everyone sat together, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

While eating the pork ribs Aunt Chen had put on his plate, Lin Fei told a few people about the latest intelligence he had seen on his large foldable phone that morning.

"Brothers, the fourth floor is a bit special," Lin Fei said while eating.

"I saw information online saying it's a large-scale confrontation mode.

Players will be divided into different factions to fight or complete objectives on specific maps."

"I looked it up too; it's true." Xu Zhengyang wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth. "It feels like a game battlefield in PUBG!"

"It's roughly the same idea, but much more varied." Lin Fei nodded.

"And I've seen some leaked videos that show dying in the fourth-floor trial doesn't deduct lifespan; you just get eliminated.

However, the cost isn't small; participating in a fourth-floor trial requires a 50,000 killing coins entry fee."

"Fifty thousand?!" Li Shun gasped, "That ticket is quite expensive! Losing once would be a huge loss!"

"High risk, definitely high reward." Lin Mengzi was relatively calm. "And you don't have to worry about death penalties."

killing coins can be earned back, but if your life is gone, you have nothing left.

"Exactly," Lin Fei looked at everyone, "This afternoon, after the cooldown ends, we'll go test the waters.

This time, we can form a four-person team.

My sister, Zheng Yang, San Duo, and I will go.

Li Shun, you stay behind for now, and when Zhou Kai and the others arrive, coordinate with them and arrange their accommodation."

"Yes, Boss!" Although Li Shun felt it was a bit of a pity.

But the boss had already spoken, so he immediately agreed.

Moreover, Li Shun didn't need to rush; eventually, Xu Zhengyang would be able to take him and San Duo to the trials.

He had followed Boss Lin Fei the earliest, making him one of the first batch of people, an elder among elders, and his future was bound to be smooth sailing.

There was no need to compare these few days.

Xu Sanduo chuckled, scratching the back of his head: "Hehe, I get to be with the boss again!"

Xu Zhengyang was even more eager to try his hand; he had just acquired a purple profession and was looking for a place to practice.

This confrontation mode, which didn't consume lifespan, was simply the perfect training ground!

"Shunzi, wait for me to get you a class change book so you can take off in one step." Xu Zhengyang was full of ambition.

"OK! I'm counting on you, Brother Yang."

After lunch, they made some preparations.

Zhou Kai and his two companions also arrived at the orphanage on time to report; Li Shun warmly received them and took them to the small courtyard next door to settle in.

Lin Fei, meanwhile, drove Lin Mengzi, Xu Zhengyang, and Xu Sanduo to the Node Tower once again.

At the Node Tower, due to the strong opposition to monopoly from a large number of players in the Lower District.

A small-scale battle broke out between the two sides.

The people from the three major guilds were temporarily driven away.

Therefore, today, free entry and exit were still possible.

However, the three major guilds would likely not let the matter rest.

It was highly probable that they would receive support from the Blue Flag Country, borrowing strength to suppress the players in the Lower District.

Lin Fei admired the indomitable choice of these resistant players.

They were a group of people who dared to fight, still had spirit, and had not become numb.

They had done enough; after this trial, he, Lin Fei, would handle the rest.

The four walked up the stairs, familiar with the route, to the fourth floor.

"There are already more people here today than yesterday." Lin Mengzi looked around.

Lin Fei said, "Others will slowly catch up later."

Xu Sanduo looked left and right; among those on the fourth floor, he was the only one without a profession yet.

"And the people on this floor are all quite strong."

"Yes! After all, the entry fee is 50,000; without some financial backing and strength, one wouldn't dare to come up easily." Xu Zhengyang said.

"Moreover, just from our New Jeju Lower District alone, many players have already reached the fourth floor."

"Globally, that number would probably be even higher!"

"Indeed."

Lin Fei walked to the control panel on the central platform to check the current trial mode.
