The competition venue is quite large. In order to hold this competition, all personnel in the entire area were moved out. However, such a large competition venue also brought a negative impact, namely, it would become very difficult to find various supplies.

Especially now, with the widespread temperature drop, apart from the instigator Li Wei's team, all other teams have been negatively affected and unable to maintain their initial mobility. This also means that the gap between the two sides will widen further and further. When the gap becomes large enough, the game will enter garbage time, which is something he cannot accept.

However, the current situation is like an ordinary person suddenly getting a gun, and the gun is loaded with bullets, enough to take someone down. Before the bullets are fired, the gun is a real deterrent. If no one else wants to be the first to stick their neck out, the situation will be extremely advantageous to the person with the gun. As the number of bullets in the gun increases, the other ordinary people will have no choice but to back down.

At this moment, Li Wei was happily searching for spoils with the three girls. Yu Guangren was unaware that he possessed powerful perception abilities. Supplies hidden in various places, which would take others a lot of time to find, were as if they were laid out in the open for him.

He could even search only the most important places, take the best supplies, and leave the rest to whoever wanted them, provided they could find them.

The drone faithfully recorded the figures of several people rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Li Wei smiled at the drone's camera and said, "I think the most interesting part of this competition is this time of collecting loot. Nobody knows what good stuff we'll find next. Let's see how lucky I am."

Inside the official live stream, the two hosts were speechless at the situation; Li Wei was treating the match like his personal live stream.

However, Li Wei does have the confidence to do so because the other teams are indeed performing quite poorly right now. At least this team has a certain level of entertainment value. Moreover, from the perspective of female viewers, even if a handsome man like Li Wei is just sitting at his desk reading a book and not saying a word during the live stream, many female viewers will still be interested.

Even now, Li Wei's willingness to interact with the audience behind the camera can be seen as a unique way of attracting viewers to the game.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments again, but this time, the comments were mostly posted by female viewers and consisted of extremely explicit remarks.

Little Grass rummaged through various boxes and soon found a small card. She held it high in her hand and excitedly ran towards Li Wei.

"Big brother, I found something good!" Little Grass said excitedly.

The drone's camera zoomed in, revealing the item in the little grass hand: a beautifully crafted card, only the size of a bank card, covered with a dense array of text.

Hiding in his private office, Yu Guangren saw what Xiaocao was holding through the drone's camera. He immediately covered his face. It was exactly what he feared. He was afraid that Li Wei would discover the special prop that was always there. Li Wei didn't discover anything, but the prop was discovered by Xiaocao.

The viewers watching the live stream also became curious. Although this wasn't the first time Li Wei's team had revealed special props, the audience still loved watching these "unboxing" events.

Li Wei picked up a small card, showed it to the drone's camera, and then began to read the text on it.

Yui and Akitsu also joined in, each carrying various foods they had found. The scene looked somewhat comical; after all, ordinary viewers rarely see such a down-to-earth scene.

Because of MBI's promotional campaign, ordinary people thought that the Sekirei were high and mighty goddesses. But now, the so-called goddess image has been almost completely ruined by Yui, this slightly silly girl, and Akitsu, this expressionless girl.

At this moment, Jie's mouth was full of various foods, and her cheeks were bulging out like a hamster. This sudden close-up really did make her look like a big hamster. This silly yet cute image made the male viewers watching the live stream breathless, and they were envious.

At this moment, the male audience members were burning with jealousy towards Li Wei.

Chapter 4. Rules and Restrictions

With food still in his mouth, he mumbled, "Did you find something good?"

Akizuki, expressionless, gently touched Kiyoshi's slender waist with his finger and said, "Swallow your food first before you speak, or you'll choke. I can only provide ice here."

Jie swallowed hard, almost choking herself. Qiu Jin gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.

Akitsu said, "What would it be like if I choked in front of the whole world?"

With a blank expression and a tone that barely changed, Akitsu's words were incredibly damaging to Yui.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Alright, alright, anyone who cares about details is an idiot. Let's see what good things Xiao Cao has found. This seems to be another special rule card. Let's see what kind of special rule it is this time."

Several people gathered around the card and began to carefully examine the small print on it.

After reading the text on the card, Li Wei smiled at the drone's camera and said, "This time the luck is pretty good. I found a card that increases the number of fouls before, and this card allows me to use up three fouls to launch a second attack on other teams. This means that I can only launch one attack, but there's no limit to the attack range. In other words, as long as the attack range is large enough, I can defeat other teams while defeating the target team. That's really good."

Inside the official online live stream, all the viewers were in an uproar upon seeing Li Wei's explanation.

The commentator was also taken aback. He realized that if the main perspective was fixed on Li Wei, there was just too much to explain. If it were any other team, the show wouldn't have the same effect.

Sitting in his office, Mihiro immediately ordered the referee team to rush to where Li Wei and the others were and announce the restrictions on the use of this card in front of a global audience. If these restrictions were not imposed, who knows what might happen next?

If Akitsu and Kogusa don't suppress their power and go all out, they might be able to end the match completely with just one attack opportunity.

Mihiro was completely stunned. He had prepared this card for the other Reshiba besides Li Wei, naturally leaving loopholes to help them out. But now that it was in Li Wei's hands, it would be an absolute disaster for the other Reshiba.

Other wagtails with reed shoots, even those with wide-area attack abilities, have their limits; being able to cover an area the size of a football field is already considered quite good. But it's different for Li Wei's situation.

It's unclear whether Jie's strength has changed significantly compared to before, but the area-of-effect damage that Akitsu and Kogus have shown means that if they go all out, they could cover most of the arena. If they were to do that, the match would be impossible to continue.

After all, once all the other participating groups were eliminated, only Li Wei's group remained, thus automatically determining the winner of the competition.

What should have been a perfectly good scavenging competition has been turned into this mess. Yu Guangren is truly exhausted. Li Wei's formidable strength gives him a much greater margin for error than other participating teams. Li Wei's team can make countless mistakes, but other teams don't have that ability. A single mistake could mean being eliminated.

At the competition venue, Li Wei sensed a high-speed object approaching. It was a referee standing on a pedal. After landing, the referee came to a short distance from Li Wei and the others.

The referee was somewhat embarrassed, after all, what he was about to announce might anger Li Wei. The big shots above were keeping their distance, but unlucky guys like him had to face the wrath of Li Wei, the strongest bud.

The referee cautiously said, "Mr. Li Wei, I'm here to convey some information to you. The rules on the card you have are not fully described due to the limited surface area of ​​the card itself. I'm here to fill in the missing information."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Just tell me, I'm listening. It must be tough on the designers to write so many words on such small cards, so it's understandable that mistakes might happen."

The referee's back was covered in cold sweat. He was genuinely afraid that Li Wei would turn on him. In front of the drone's camera, Li Wei might maintain his image, but given Li Wei's methods, it would be far too easy for him, a mere referee, to encounter an accident on the return journey. He couldn't help but be afraid.

The referee explained, "This card allows you to exchange three foul opportunities for one attack opportunity. However, this attack opportunity is a single-target attack, which can only be directed at one of the other participating teams. The attack range will be limited, and it cannot affect more teams."

After the referee finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly, waiting for Li Wei's shot to land.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I thought I could exploit a loophole in the rules, but it turns out there's no way to use it. Thanks for reminding me. If I had unknowingly used this loophole, I would probably have been disqualified. Thank you, referee."

The referee cautiously opened his eyes, and Li Wei was still as amiable and easy to talk to as ever, which relieved him.

The referee bowed slightly, a fawning smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Li Wei, I'll take my leave now. Have a pleasant match."

Looking at the referees who were running away in a panic, Li Wei said, "Am I that scary?"

Jie laughed and said, "When Li Weijun gets serious, he can be quite intimidating to outsiders, right?"

Li Wei stretched and said lazily, "I thought I had a killer move that could eliminate all the other teams, but it turns out we only eliminated one. What a pity. Now, let's see which cutie will run into our team."

Li Wei wouldn't use this card easily, since it takes three fouls to equal one shot attempt. Even with a foul increase card, he still needs two more fouls. Until he finds a new foul increase card, Li Wei will carefully choose when to shoot.

Of course, if Sanada Nishi were to appear in front of him now, he would not hesitate to eliminate him. After all, Sanada Nishi is the largest force and one of the few who plays the game with his brain. It would be good to deal with this hidden threat.

Chapter 4. Hu Die's Analysis

Li Wei said, "The most valuable supply here should be this special rule card. Let's pack up and get ready to leave. Jie, don't take too much food; we can't eat that much."

Jie was carrying large and small bags of food. The wooden dragon's head already had a lot of food stored up, but Jie was still not satisfied. She found even more food here and wanted to take it with her.

With a slightly aggrieved expression, Xiao Zhen said, "But I'm really hungry..."

Akitsu said expressionlessly from the side, "I'm very curious, where does all the food you eat go? Do you really have a four-dimensional stomach? You can eat a lot normally, and I've never seen your mouth stop even when you're resting."

This made Li Wei quite curious. Jie's constitution was very special; she was the type who could become stronger by eating. So, in addition to her three regular meals a day, she often used a gourmet tablecloth to give herself extra meals. Even he didn't know how many times Jie had cooked for herself.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I really can't do anything with you. Let me help you carry it. When we get back, I'll treat you to a European-style seafood feast, plus authentic Cantonese cuisine."

Li Wei took the food from Jie's hand and placed it on Mu Long's head. He was surrounded by all sorts of girls, and with so many of them, it was normal for some strange characters to appear. Jie did have a big appetite, but as long as her health didn't suffer, it wasn't a problem; he could afford to support her.

"Thank you! Li Weijun, don't forget my big meal after the competition!" Jie said excitedly.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget. If I really do forget, plenty of people will remind me. Uranium Girl and Moon Sea are watching the live stream right now."

Several people sat atop the wooden dragon's head, and the dragon slowly rose into the air, heading towards the next coordinate point. Li Wei collected the next two coordinate points, but aside from various items, there were no special treasures at either location.

Li Wei knew he was being targeted. If other reed shoots had arrived, there would definitely have been special items hidden in the shadows waiting for them to dig them up.

Li Wei possesses exceptional perception, enabling him to detect the referee team's clandestine actions. Although numerous drones monitor the entire competition venue, they automatically shut down their cameras when the referees are in action, preventing them from accidentally recording or broadcasting any underhanded tactics by the referees.

Such broadcasting mishaps happen to television stations all over the world, although they are rare. MBI, however, still chose to exercise extreme caution. After all, manipulating matches behind the scenes is dishonorable and would negatively impact viewership and betting popularity. Therefore, MBI opted for the most prudent approach.

According to Li Wei's perception, both coordinates originally contained special items, but while they were traveling, the referee team members rushed to the coordinates and took away the special items that were hidden at the two locations in advance.

He had already passed two coordinate locations and gradually adapted to the low temperature before catching up with the other participating teams.

Because the other teams had already started moving and were not too slow, the referees only took away the special items from two locations and did not touch the special items from the other locations.

Because of the drone filming throughout, Li Wei couldn't go directly to the hiding places of the special items. He was certain that the hiding places of those special items were the coordinates for later, but those locations weren't marked on the map yet. If he went down and found the items now, he wouldn't be able to explain to everyone watching the live stream how he found them, and it would only cause trouble.

As the most eye-catching celebrity contestant team, their every word and action was being watched by viewers around the world watching the live stream, which meant that Li Wei and the three girls often had to use the team's communication channel to chat.

After all, some sensitive topics could only be discussed on the squad communication channel, which also became a place for the girls left behind at home to talk. Li Wei, who was far away at the competition venue, could obtain various intelligence support from the girls left behind at home through this method.

Hu Die: (MBI is clearly targeting your team, sir. If this continues, you won't be able to collect the important special items.)

Uranium Girl: (So what should Li Wei do?)

Hu Die: (Due to the timing, the referees must have secretly taken the special items. So, adults can deliberately lag behind, letting the other participating teams rush ahead. Once they arrive at the location, adults can then speed up and catch up. Our goal is the special items. After collecting enough special items, we can take any team away, gaining an absolute advantage in the crucial final battle!)

Hu Die's strategy was very clear: to crush them. As long as she could bring out a small team without taking damage, and accumulate enough of that condition, the rest of the match would be much easier.

Hu Die is an extremely intelligent girl. Li Wei didn't provide her with any information, but by watching the live broadcast, she already knew that the referee team was making underhanded moves and deduced that MBI was manipulating the course of the match behind the scenes. When she really got into it, her intelligence analysis ability was terrifying.

Hu Die: (As long as we can collect enough special items, we can unleash enough damage at crucial moments. In the latter half of the match, someone may have already obtained the artifact. What we need to do is take advantage of the opportunity to deal damage without taking any damage and directly take down the team that has the artifact. With the strength of our team, once the artifact is in the adult's hands, it will definitely not be taken away by anyone else. Maintaining the artifact for ten minutes is actually the easiest thing.)

Li Wei: (Thank you, Hu Die, your analysis is excellent. We will try our best to obtain more special items. I will bring the artifact back. Dangerous things like this should be destroyed or sealed away.)

Li Wei spoke with great righteousness, but this time, he, who always liked to play the villain, really had to act as a partner of justice. Simply put, judging by actions rather than intentions, collecting these dangerous artifacts was a good thing for all mankind.

The artifact carries the potential risk of going out of control. If it does, it could lead to the souls of tens of millions of people being extracted, which is even more dangerous than nuclear and biological weapons. If the artifact were activated, destroying the world would be a very simple matter.

In just a few seconds, billions of people around the world can have their lunch ready—how quick and convenient!

Chapter 4. Playing the Wicked

With Mu Long deliberately slowing down, the other participating teams quickly caught up with Li Wei. Just as the other teams activated the coordinates and the new coordinates appeared, Li Wei arrived at the scene.

Li Wei's arrival made the referees, who were hiding in the shadows, hold their breath. Because the other teams had arrived at the coordinates first, they hadn't collected the special item cards hidden in the shadows. Now that Li Wei had arrived, they could only pray that the other teams would find the special item cards faster than Li Wei.

Li Wei's arrival also made the other team members nervous. The huge wooden dragon hovered in the sky, looking down at everyone. This pressure made Wei Ya from the other team dare not get too close to Li Wei and the others.

The viewers watching the live stream had a god-like perspective, while the other team members who didn't had a god-like perspective kept their distance from Li Wei because Wei Ya was afraid of him, so they didn't give Li Wei a chance to suddenly make things difficult.

The location was inside a factory building, and Levi and the other participating teams maintained a semblance of peace. Sanada Nishi watched from afar as Levi searched everywhere inside the factory, feeling somewhat puzzled.

His wagtail came to his side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Xi, the situation with the wooden dragon has been investigated. There are all sorts of supplies on its head. I don't know where they got those things from."
