My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

"No, I just analyzed it. If they were planning to catch it randomly, they would have started throwing the ball a long time ago. But up to now, no one has thrown it, so they must be counting. As long as they are counting, it means that they have found a way to make up the answer number with their teammates. Otherwise, they should just give up like the previous teams did."

After coming to this world, Hao Xie had never heard the term "tanking". He complained in his mind while pitching the ball just now. Could it be that this girl learned it at that time?

"Yes, that's when I learned it. Sorry, I know what people are thinking as soon as I see their faces. As long as I don't look at you, I won't know what you are thinking. I will be careful to control it in the future."

Recalling his state just now, Hao Xie was actually a little embarrassed. But since Tiantian had said this, he felt ashamed again, after all, the victory just now was all thanks to Tiantian.

"It doesn't matter, you can watch it if you want. I am a consistent person, I definitely won't say one thing in public and another behind my back, cursing people in my heart."

"I know."

Tiantian looked at Haoxie who was staring intently at the competition venue and smiled again.

It is because she knows that this man is kind at heart that she follows him and helps him... As for the difficulties that may arise later, just let nature take its course.

There was no need to think about the past anymore. From now on, she only needed Hao Xie...

Tiantian was staring at Haoxie and didn't notice that Han Shan next to her suddenly turned his gaze towards her, as if he had discovered something about her.

The competition is over. A total of four teams answered all the questions correctly. For the other teams, some were much worse, some were less worse, and some were even more outrageous. The answer was 100, but they shot in more than 300 balls. Even if each person shot 100 balls, the maximum number of balls they could have shot was only 300.

They obviously wanted to torture their teammates to death. It was unknown why this happened, but in short, their team was directly eliminated, and the place after elimination was a place that Hao Xie definitely did not want to go.

Tiantian guessed correctly. In the team of triplets, their numbers were very accurate. The four teams tied for first place, but there was only so much reward, so they still had to decide the winner.

The examiner announced a new rule: If you want a reward, you can apply to participate in the next reward battle. The final winner of the reward battle will receive the points reward for this level.

If you do not participate, you will only receive the reward that you would have received for winning the competition, and no additional rewards.

In other words, even if they participated in the reward battle, it might be the same as not participating, and they won less than those teams whose answers were ridiculously wrong.

No team could bear this kind of gap. As expected, all four teams chose to participate in the reward battle.

The rules of the bonus battle are very simple, 4 to 2, 2 to 1. No. 1 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. 4. The game is divided into two time periods, morning and evening, two games a day, and it can be completed within two days.

Hao Xie drew number 2, and the team that drew number 1 was the triplets team.

Tomorrow morning, Hao Xie will face off against this team of triplets.

He felt that with Tiantian's mind-reading ability, even if the opponent cooperated well, he would not be able to beat them without any chance of fighting back. In addition, with a master like Han San, there was still a chance of winning.

But Haoxie didn't expect that when he returned to the dormitory, Tiantian's expression looked very deep, as if she was worried about something.

Your own thoughts can be understood, but it does not mean that you can understand other people's minds.

"What's wrong? You were so depressed all the way back." When Tiantian entered the room, Hao Xie couldn't help but hold her back and asked, "If you have any concerns, please tell us in advance. We still need to strengthen communication in our team."

"I don't know what's going on. I always feel inexplicably panicked. And when I think about facing a pair of twins, I feel even more panicked..."

Tiantian's words made Hao Xie full of doubts.

"Why? Can't you tell what people are thinking just by looking at them? Isn't it enough just to be there?"

Faced with Hao Xie's question, Tiantian seemed to be hesitant to speak. She just pursed her lips slightly and lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something but didn't know how to start.

Seeing that she really didn't want to talk, Zhang Hao stopped asking and just added at the end: "If you have anything, you must tell me in advance. Sometimes if you don't tell me, I don't know what you are thinking and I can't help you. After all, we are friends, aren't we?"

Yes, they are friends. But Tiantian still has something in her heart that is hard to talk about, and she doesn't know how to start...

"Welcome all candidates to the sixth floor. I am Kevin, the examiner of this floor."

After reaching the fourth floor, Haotang met the familiar examiner.

This examiner had helped Haotang before, but he also made a promise with him: to help him do something if necessary. Although it would not involve other people, this matter always brought some uncertainty to Haotang.

Fortunately, the premise of the agreement was not to affect Haotang’s friends, so Haotang reluctantly agreed.

At this level, everyone starts to divide their positions.

In a team, three positions are needed: forward, support and ace.

The striker is naturally Red, who deserves the title both in terms of physique and strength.

However, Haotang and Raymond had differences on the two positions of support and ace.

Haotang believes that the ace position must be given to Raymond, and he can be a support. But Raymond refuses this position, believing that Haotang is the strongest.

The two of them were so polite to each other that the examiner assistant in front of them became a little impatient.

"Now we are just letting you make a preliminary selection. Later, the examiner will personally assign you places based on your abilities. Don't worry about it now. Just choose according to your first instinct."

Haotang and Raymond looked at each other, and suddenly saw the same look in each other's eyes. They smiled at each other and clapped their hands on the paper that belonged to the trump card.

The examiner's assistant looked at them, smiled slightly, and approved of their choice.

"You're still the first to fight for a spot. Previous teams would give up their spots for the sake of the team, or they would fight each other to decide the winner."

Hao Tang replied: "In our team, there is no winner. We either lose together or win together. No one will benefit alone. Since the two of us can't choose, let the examiner behind us choose."

Just as they received their admission tickets for the sixth floor and were about to go inside, they suddenly heard someone behind them say, "Also, I want to remind you that if you haven't decided before the examiner assigns you a seat, the examiner may mischievously give you a completely opposite seat."

Haotang looked back at the examiner's assistant and smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your reminder, but since this is the path we chose ourselves, we will definitely follow it well."

Hearing this, the man didn't say anything else. He just nodded and mouthed "Good luck to you."

After walking a long way, Haotang asked Lei Meng in surprise: "Why didn't the examiner assistant remind others when they went up before, but reminded us when we went up? Does she know you? I just saw her expression...she seemed to know you."

Yes, Haotang did see the examiner's eyes linger on Raymond for a second or two. Although each time was very short, the emotion was hard to ignore.

Raymond shook his head.

"It doesn't matter whether she knows me or not. I have no contact with them now. I guess this person is just here to monitor me. I don't know her, but she should know me."

Surveillance?
Although Lei Meng said so, Haotang still had some doubts in his heart.

In addition to defensiveness, there seemed to be other emotions in the woman's eyes, such as reluctance or heartache.

If you are just here to monitor, then isn't this kind of emotion a bit redundant?
Since Lei Meng didn't want to talk about it, Hao Tang stopped asking. Anyway, as long as they were still on the sixth floor, the truth would be revealed sooner or later.

They moved into the contestant dormitory, but this dormitory... seemed a little strange. To put it nicely, it was a dormitory, but to put it bluntly, it was no different from a prison.

Looking around, there are iron railings everywhere. The environment is dark and damp. When walking on the ground, you can clearly hear the sound of your feet stepping into puddles.

This environment made Zhang Hao feel depressed, but looking at the contestants around him, they looked normal, as if they were mentally prepared.

"Is this kind of environment common in the Tower of God? They don't seem surprised at all." Zhang Hao finally couldn't help but ask Layton.

Layton glanced at him.

"It seems that you really don't know anything. Now the information of each floor is basically public. This sixth floor is where the criminals below the tenth floor are detained. There is nothing here except the prison. With so many of us coming here at once, we definitely can't stay in the hotel. We can only stay in the prison. Do you understand now?"

Zhang Hao still shook his head in confusion.

He really didn't understand, or rather, he didn't understand the situation at all.

He had spent a lot of effort to collect information about the Tower of Earth before, but when he got here, he realized that the amount of information he had was insignificant compared to others.

In this situation of information asymmetry, if it weren't for the help of Raymond and Layton, he probably wouldn't have survived until now.

Three people squeezed into a room.

After entering, Zhang Hao felt that calling this place a "room" was a bit of an exaggeration. It was clearly a cave with railings. The wall paint inside was peeling off in large pieces, the ground was full of puddles, and the air was filled with an indescribable fishy smell. Zhang Hao could vaguely smell the smell of blood.

"Lie down and rest for a while. At this level, I think it won't be long before they find something for us to do."

After hearing this, Zhang Hao obediently lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

In a daze, he seemed to see the blond man in black robe again.

"What do you think of the world?"

"It's terrible." Zhang Hao said honestly, "After coming here, I realized that I am just an ordinary person. I can't do anything. I have no ability. I have to rely on others for everything."

"If you could choose again, would you come here again?"

Will you come again?
Zhang Hao hesitated.

He didn't know if he could come again, or whether he should come again.

What he was afraid of was not that he would encounter an accident, but that he would not be able to change anything even if he tried his best, and he might not even be able to achieve the original purpose of coming here.

The man didn't rush and waited quietly for Zhang Hao's answer.

After a long, long time, Zhang Hao finally responded.

"I think I might come after all."

After saying that, Zhang Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm a bit stubborn. The more difficult something is, the more I want to try it."

"Then why did you hesitate just now?"

"Because I'm afraid of screwing up... If it was just my own business, I wouldn't be afraid no matter what the result is, but I still have other people's expectations on me, and I can't allow myself to risk failure."

After all, Zhang Hao still lives in the eyes of others and can never feel at ease.

"Okay, now I'll return your abilities to you. I really want to see what you can do after you regain your original abilities."

What does this mean? What is original ability?

Before Zhang Hao could ask, he felt dizzy the next second. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Raymond shaking his shoulders hard.

"You finally woke up. I thought you would never wake up. I was scared to death."

Layton also said sarcastically: "I thought we were going to find new teammates."

"I just took a nap, why are you so nervous?"

When Zhang Hao stood up, he still felt dizzy.

"You just slept for a while?" Layton's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "You almost fell asleep. Who can sleep for more than fifty hours? If you sleep any longer, we will ask the examiner to issue you a death certificate."

More than fifty hours?

Zhang Hao still couldn't believe it.

I actually slept for more than fifty hours. Why?
Subconsciously, Zhang Hao thought of the person he had seen in his dream.

That person said he wanted to return the power to him...what power?

As Zhang Hao's mind gradually became clear, he found that he could see many things that he had not seen before.

There was a faint light emanating from Raymond's body...it seemed blue, and also green.

Zhang Hao was very familiar with this light. Wasn’t it the color of the spiritual energy that he had seen in that world before?
The five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth have given rise to more than a dozen additional elements. The light on Raymond's body is a very pure blue light.

Before, Raymond had tested that his attribute was water. At that time, Zhang Hao could not see the light emanating from him, but now, he could actually see it...

Zhang Hao was startled and quickly jumped up from the bed, trying to circulate the strength in his body.

Sure enough! The power is restored!

Endless power surged in Zhang Hao's body, more powerful than before. Wherever he looked, there was spiritual energy everywhere. The spiritual energy here was abundant. If he stayed here, his strength would definitely be further improved.

Zhang Hao tried to draw a spell on the wall.

Although it was not written on the talisman paper and the words were not visible, he just retained a small amount of spiritual power along the trajectory of his fingers. The next moment, the wall where the talisman was drawn exploded!

The moment the wall exploded, everyone in the next room was shocked and stared at Zhang Hao with wide eyes.

Zhang Hao's hands still maintained the posture of drawing the talisman, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

His strength really came back.

Then from now on, he will be the strongest among these people!
With power comes doubt.

Who is that man in the black cloak? Why should we help him? (End of this chapter)
