Chapter 298: How the hell can the raid start on me?

Chapter 298: How the hell can the raid start on me?

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of these top talents, Ling Zhan's expression remained unchanged.

Zhou Hongfu gathered the Dragon Kingdom team members together and smilingly announced the generous rewards from the Dragon Kingdom's education department for those who achieve outstanding results in this competition.

"The 50-man team competition is the same as the individual competition."

"If you can make it to the top eight, each person will receive a B-grade skill book."

"If you make it to the top four, each person will receive an A-grade skill book."

"If you can make it to the finals, the reward is an A+ grade skill book."

"If you win the championship..."

At this point,

the elderly man, whose face was kind but eyes were full of the vicissitudes of life, slowly exhaled a breath, and his voice became heavy.

"If anyone wins the individual championship, the Dragon Kingdom will reward them with an S-grade skill book and a top-grade spiritual weapon!"

"And the team championship will earn each person an S- grade skill book and a B-grade eternal amplification potion!"

"The FMVP will receive an additional S-grade skill book!"

Wow!!

As Zhou Hongfu finished speaking,

the entire team immediately erupted in shock.

These rewards...

are far richer than those from the previous domestic exchange trials by many times!

Even B-grade skill books are extremely rare!

Skill books are essential items in this world of profession transitions!

If the team can win the championship...

50 people!!

50 S- grade skill books as rewards!

Plus 50 B-grade eternal amplification potions!

Such generosity is unparalleled.

To wash away the humiliation Dragon Kingdom has suffered in the Warcraft Competition over the past decade, the authorities have invested heavily.

The top ten famous schools likely contributed a lot of resources.

Simultaneously, the front-line battlefield's inventory must have been emptied somewhat.

In the end, the authorities might even have to borrow a few skill books from some powerful families to make up the numbers.

But overall, this has already shown the attitude of the Dragon Kingdom's authorities.

That is to shine brilliantly on the grand stage of this Warcraft Competition and bring glory to the motherland!!

Such generous rewards, coupled with the already intense patriotism,

ignited a strong, unyielding fighting spirit in the eyes of every team member!

However, at this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? We're missing someone, where's Ke Long?"

At this mention,

everyone hurriedly looked around.

They found that indeed someone was missing!

No one noticed that Shou Jingyuan's face had turned extremely dark and gloomy at this moment!

"It's like this,"

Li Chaoge said calmly at this moment, "Ke Long was not feeling well, so he was sent back to Dragon Kingdom to recover."

Everyone: "!!?"

What's going on?

Not feeling well!?

But there are priests in the team!

Not to mention feeling unwell, even if you were dead, you could be resurrected!

Precisely because of this, many priests who couldn't reach level 20 eventually chose to become doctors in remote and backward towns and villages.

They could still make a lot of money.

At this moment,

everyone seemed to smell something unusual.

Their first reaction was to turn their heads to look at Shou Jingyuan.

But they saw that Shou Jingyuan's expression was indifferent and cold, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.

So everyone turned to look at Zhou Hongfu and the Sword God Liuhuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed.

They found that these two big shots were also silent.

Ah, this...

"Captain Chaoge, we're missing a person!"

"What should we do? We don't have a substitute..."

The team members' faces indeed showed layers of worry.

It's basically impossible to have a substitute for a team of this size.

Because choosing a substitute is too difficult!

Sometimes, a coordinated attack you've trained for can be ruined because the substitute's profession or skills are different.

Even if they are both mages, the high-level skills used as finishing moves are different.

Moreover, each person's attack frequency, movement trajectory, casting time, and other habits are different.

These all require both parties or multiple parties to spend a long time adapting.

Considering various factors, it's hard to choose a substitute, so they simply don't.

But unexpectedly, Ke Long ended up missing for such a ridiculous reason...

There must be an important reason behind this, but they didn't know it.

He Chuan, Ba Meng, and a few other teammates exchanged astonished looks.

Then they understood.

Maybe they knew the reason.

"Who said we don't have a substitute?"

Facing everyone's worries, Li Chaoge's beautiful face remained unchanged.

Under everyone's gaze, she gracefully moved to Ling Zhan's side, then turned to face everyone and said calmly:

"Isn't he a perfect substitute?"

Everyone: "..."

Ling Zhan: "..."

Huh!?

Ling Zhan as a substitute!?

"I object!!"

At this moment, Shou Jingyuan subconsciously raised his hand and voiced his opposition.

"Oh? Then tell me, who is the most suitable substitute?"

Seeing Shou Jingyuan dare to object at this moment, Li Chaoge's long, narrow phoenix eyes slowly narrowed, and a cold light appeared in her pupils.

Obviously, this domineering celestial lady really hated anyone who defied her decisions!

Facing Li Chaoge's sharp gaze, Shou Jingyuan's palms were sweating, and he regretted it deeply.

Damn it!

I regret it!

I shouldn't have opposed!

He just didn't want to see that idiot non-specialist get double rewards!

Among the five individual competition participants, only Li Chaoge and Situ Yalan were participating in both formats.

Shou Jingyuan, Xue Ming, and Ling Zhan were not allowed to participate.

"I'm asking you, who is the most suitable substitute!!"

Seeing Shou Jingyuan's fearful and silent appearance, Li Chaoge's voice became even colder.

"Xue Ming! I think Xue Ming is more suitable as a substitute than Ling Zhan!"

In his panic, Shou Jingyuan could only pass the buck!

"Hmm!?"

Xue Ming, who was originally watching with a bystander's attitude, suddenly widened his eyes upon hearing this.

Damn it!

How the hell did the raid start on me!?

Swish!!

Li Chaoge's icy gaze instantly locked onto the stunned Xue Ming.

Xue Ming: "..."

Damn it!

Does this woman really think I'm in cahoots with Shou Jingyuan?

"Captain Chaoge! Don't listen to him! I think your decision is excellent!"

"I fully support your decision! I also believe that Ling Zhan, as a non-specialist, is a versatile asset... no, a versatile treasure!"

"His all-class system can perfectly fit into any team composition!"

"So I firmly support your decision, Captain Chaoge!"

"Come on! Let's welcome Ling Zhan to the team, applause!"

Amid the bewildered and amused gazes of the team,

Xue Ming quickly blurted out this survival-driven speech and clapped his hands with a forced smile.

"Welcome Ling Zhan, welcome!!"

Fortunately, there were many students from Haston Academy in the team.

They also gave face and clapped along.

So as not to let this second-seed individual competition participant be embarrassed.

Ling Zhan, watching this farce unfold, was truly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

However, this Warcraft Competition concerns the honor of the motherland.

Since they needed him, it was natural not to decline any further!

At this moment, Dean Zhou Hongfu also nodded to Ling Zhan, then turned to the team members participating in the team competition and said solemnly:

"Since everything is settled, please prepare for the teleportation."

"Although today's schedule is the individual knockout competition, which doesn't concern you, you should still watch carefully! The showdown between the world's top talents will also provide us with valuable combat experience."

"So stay focused, study hard, and don't slack off!"

Everyone: "Yes!!"
