Chapter 121: Chapter 109: The Elf King’s Ruse, S-Class Parts Obtained, Approaching SSS-Level!_2

Xu Gu felt noticeably more at ease and smiled at Sun Lu, saying, "Thank you."

"This is what you deserve," Sun Lu shook his head with reluctance, then turned to Xu Gu and said, "Next, let’s talk about the trial."

"You should already know the reason."

"I’ll go over the trial rules with you."

"The trial would take place in the three-star Mechanical Abyss Demon Dragon Mechanical Abyss. We will field three cities, and the Mage Clan will offer three cities, matching six stages. Each stage is guarded by mechanical monsters."

"Each side can send three teams of five, as they are all from the Human Clan; participants must be under twenty years old."

"We need to first capture the stages representing our three cities, then occupy the opponent’s three stages, taking over their cities. Afterward, city distribution will depend on the stages held."

Xu Gu’s eyes gleamed slightly, "These rules are very unfavorable to us."

The Mage Clan and the Mechanical Abyss were aligned; the mechanical monsters would undoubtedly not attack them and might even help guard their stages.

Meanwhile, they could freely leave their stages and take over the Human Clan’s three stages, possibly even cooperating with the mechanical monsters.

"Nothing can be done," Sun Lu said, "The Mage Clan is also part of the Human Clan, and the Creator System recognizes them as human, thus leading to this absurd trial."

Xu Gu nodded, "Please continue."

"These rules can’t be changed," Sun Lu stated,

"If you want to participate, you need to form a team or join someone’s team. You can post team information in the Elite forum."

"Because the rewards are substantial, team leaders can get an S-rank accessory, while other team members can earn an A-rank accessory. Many teams are forming, so the competition is fierce."

"Even though you’re given a reserved team spot, if you can’t secure strong teammates, and your overall strength is lacking, you might still get eliminated."

"You might have to join another team."

Sun Lu added, "The stakes are high this time since it concerns the survival of Nanhe Province."

"An S-rank, as expected," Xu Gu nodded, delighted at the thought that all his primary components might reach SSS rank, "How are the other teams?"

"There are already two teams with three SS-rank members. Another team has two SS-rank members. They come from all over the country, having awakened last year, and might bring a few bodyguards."

"If you confirm your participation, you should start recruiting."

"At least bring in someone awakened last year and has SS rank."

"That part’s easy," Xu Gu was confident.

Being the only SSS rank in this trial, he should be in high demand.

"Since you’re SSS rank, you shouldn’t worry about finding teammates," Sun Lu chuckled.

"By the way," Sun Lu’s expression shifted, "there’s another special rule in this trial."

"What special rule?" Xu Gu inquired.

"We’re not allowed to kill mechanical monsters," Sun Lu said, puzzled, "and we’re not even allowed to crush defeat them. If we do so too much, exceeding a threshold, the stage might enter nightmare mode."

"A bizarre rule."

"No killing monsters, not even crushing?" Xu Gu suddenly looked up with a sharp gleam in his eyes.

A rule clearly targeting him.

Targeting his Red and Blue Battle Instrument!

"The Elf King? Are you involved too?"

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Xu Gu’s eyes. Beside his Car Servants, only the Elf King knew his secret.

This deliberate targeting was evidently the hand of the Elf King.

It also aligned with the Elf King’s motives.

It was desperate for his Battle Instrument.

Thinking of this, Xu Gu fell silent.

Most of his combat power relied on the Red and Blue Battle Instrument. If it was countered and couldn’t be used, that would indeed be troublesome.

This time, it might be quite dangerous.

However, his gaze soon landed on the S-rank defense accessory he newly acquired, and the corners of his mouth lifted again.

"You overlooked one thing."

"I have more than just one SSS rank component."

"Last time, you sent me your wife and daughter. I wonder what you’ll send me this time!"

Xu Gu burst into laughter and said to Sun Lu, "Maybe they’re afraid we’ll slay too many mechanical monsters, which might make them heartbroken."

He naturally wouldn’t tell Sun Lu that someone was targeting him.

"That’s possible," Sun Lu laughed too, "I have a contact for you, someone you could reach. My niece is an SS rank. She might help you fill a team slot."

"Thanks," Xu Gu thanked him but didn’t decline.

"Someone will inform you of the trial’s schedule. I won’t hold up any longer; the Provincial City Association is stacked with tasks," Sun Lu said.

Sun Lu indeed left directly.

The work was indeed pressing. If not for the utmost importance of the S-rank accessory, he wouldn’t even come personally.

As he saw it, sending an attractive secretary would suffice. Perhaps Xu Gu would be even happier.

Xu Gu saw Sun Lu off, looking at the communication number Sun Lu pushed on him for his niece, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Sun Yaohui?

"This name."

"Hiss."

"China’s number one star? The youngest leading actress? Angelic Voice Sun Yaohui? Allegedly a twin?"

Xu Gu hesitated for a moment. Though surprised, he didn’t lose composure; even the Elf Queen was his Combat Puppet, so one Sun Yaohui wasn’t enough to faze him.

He applied to add her as a friend.

No response.

Xu Gu didn’t wait but instead entered the Elite forum, filled with S-rank or higher Auto Men.

True elites.

Xu Gu browsed through the posts, finding that these elites weren’t very chatty, with no juicy gossip.

He posted in the forum.

"I am Xu Gu, SSS rank from Xia City, seeking to participate in the Nanhe Province trial. Currently recruiting four team members, SS rank preferred."

Xu Gu reviewed the post several times, found nothing wrong, and sent it out.

However.

What he didn’t know was that this post stirred up a storm in the Elite forum.

What should have been a standard teammate recruitment post appeared incredibly brazen to everyone.

"Who is this?! Pretending to be SSS rank?! Don’t they know the rules here?"

"Xu Gu? SSS rank? I know him; he really is SSS rank."

"But he’s just a freshman this year, awakened only twenty days, still a civilian."

"Even though he’s lucky enough to be protected by an exceptional fighter, that fighter seems really poor since nobody’s heard of him, nor from a big faction. Can’t give Xu Gu any resources."

"Are you kidding? Newly awakened just twenty days, still a civilian, and he dares to join this Nanhe Province trial? Does he really think being SSS rank can defy the odds?! Doesn’t he know what this trial signifies?"

"And he still wants to lead as the captain? Just awakened twenty days, better to be a team member first; even then, he might not be wanted!"
