Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

When Yi Zanglan and Wu Ying returned to the spectator area, they found that their teammates from the White Gate competition area had already returned.

Naturally, the two received a warm welcome from everyone.

According to Yan Zhao, they were not matched with any particularly strong teams in this round. In the later stages, Ling Ye basically eliminated everyone they could. Tang Yunxi was quick to find materials, and Jun Songzi was very efficient at making potions. So, with eight hours left before the end, the system declared the mission a success and released them.

"We heard from Lao Shen that you actually ran into the Dawn Team, and it just so happens to be almost the strongest member of the team. The opponent can also summon weapons at any time." Tang Yunxi hugged Yi Canglan's hand and swayed it affectionately. "Lanlan, in my opinion, next time when you don't have to choose between men and women, you still have to bring me along. Lao Qin's luck is a bit bad, and it sometimes makes things more difficult."

"...You can say whatever you want, but you still have to kick me while I'm down?" Qin Shaoyu, with a spicy snack in his mouth, leaned over from the side, annoyed. "But my ability can be transferred! I can transfer my luck to the captain, and I'll do it to her every game from now on, so she can experience pure, unadulterated goodness! Envious? You cunning lucky koi fish."

Tang Yunxi's eyes widened in anger, and she lunged forward, grabbing his hair tightly.

"The evil villain has disguised himself as one of our teammates and infiltrated our ranks!"

"Let go! Who's the more evil one here?!"

Because the two were making too much noise, Shen Yubai stuffed apple cores into their mouths with one in each hand and warmly suggested that they go to the side and decide the winner by playing rock-paper-scissors.

He turned around, picked up the plate on the table, and gestured to Yi Zanglan.

"Want some? It's freshly cut."

"I'm not eating anymore."

He thought for a moment, then opened another can of beer, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "Want some?"

Yi Zanglan was silent for a moment, then finally smiled. She opened another can with one hand and lightly clinked it against his.

"Cheers."

……

After the four-player tournament, each team was given 48 hours of rest.

The team matches include meals on time. Two boxed meals are distributed each day based on the number of players remaining. The meal consists of one meat dish and one vegetable dish with rice. Sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's not.

Today's food was really hard to eat, so when Yi Zanglan came out after taking a nap, she heard the team members cursing that the food was so salty it was like they had put half a bag of salt in it.

She took a bite, but was clearly not very satisfied, so she had to make do with it.

"There's nothing we can do. We can't keep the ingredients fresh all the time if we bring them here, and Lao Shen and I can't cook for you on the spot."

Tang Yunxi rummaged through her suitcase again: "Want some of those sandwich buns I bought last time? They're so delicious, I hope you can finish them all!"

Jiang Ling leaned closer curiously: "What kind of filling is it?"

"Sweet mustard filling."

"Sweet mustard filling?!"

"Don't be scared off by the name, it's actually really delicious!"

"...Then I'll try it."

Two minutes later.

A burning sensation shot through Jiang Ling's head. Tears streaming down her face, she staggered back with the remaining half of the bread in her hand and quickly stuffed it into her brother's mouth.

Yan Zhao took a bottle of honey water and stood in front of the big screen, silently watching the team rankings scrolling on the screen.

Black Wind Village remains firmly in first place, followed by Waves Washing Sand in second place and Bad Species in third place.

Team Dawn is currently in sixth place, Team Spring Water is in tenth place, and Team Hunter Time has dropped to eighteenth place.

"Lang Taosha is really pressing hard," she muttered to herself. "I bet Yin Canglang is putting pressure on the team members."

Having a competitive spirit is one thing, but relentlessly pursuing Yi Zanglan is quite another.

Having finally reunited, and having just fought a fierce battle, how could such a proud person be willing to be looked down upon by his former partner?

"When the two teams meet again, things will probably get busy." After saying that, she looked thoughtfully at Ling Ye not far away, "Right, Wild King?"

Ling Ye had been watching the screen the whole time, but he didn't expect her to suddenly interact with him. He paused for a moment, then turned his head away expressionlessly.

"What is it?"

"Who do you think is the best partner for Lanlan, yourself or Yin Canglang?"

He raised an eyebrow and coldly retorted, "Then who do you think is Lanlan's best partner, yourself or Yin Canglang?"

The two remained silent, neither answering the other, and both turned their gazes away, pretending nothing had happened.

When he turned around, he found Yi Zanglan standing behind him, who had probably been listening for a while.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Yi Zanglan's gaze swept back and forth across the two faces. After a long while, he asked with great patience.

So who exactly is it?

"..."

She patted both of them on the shoulder at the same time: "Take your time to discuss it, or even have a little competition, and remember to give me an answer."

"..."

Then Yi Zanglan stopped talking about it. She tapped the screen and said to Ling Ye in a casual tone.

"Without you, Hunter Time and Space has indeed suffered a complete defeat. He Rui probably has no reputation left now."

"All the members watched that captain's match; he was completely humiliated."

"That's not enough. We need to kill him a few more times." Yi Zanglan shook his head with a smile. "I want to make sure he can never hold his head up again. When we get back to the City of Misfortune, I'll make sure he's dead."

Ling Ye looked at her, momentarily dazed, and after a long while responded in a low voice.

"it is good."

Just then, Tang Yunxi suddenly came over with small, quick steps, holding her hand in one hand and Yan Zhao's hand in the other, gesturing excitedly.

"Let's talk about whether they're dead or not later. Shall we play board games? Susu and Siqi are waiting, and Lao Qin wants to join in too."

"What board game?"

"It's supposedly a board game where you draw cards and fight monsters."

"Do you think we can win?" Yan Zhao was speechless. "With you and Lao Qin around, what good cards could possibly end up in our hands?"

Yi Zanglan retorted seriously, "How can you say that? With you at the bottom, I'm more likely to get something good."

"...You're really getting more and more incompetent these days."

"You flatter me."

……

Anyway, that's the truth. The ending didn't change at all. Yan Zhao still lost badly in the card game and ended up having his face drawn on by his friends with highlighters.

Although it was an erasable highlighter, she still washed her face three times afterwards.

This event is also recorded in the history of Black Wind Village and is known as the "Second Boss Graffiti Incident".

The 48 hours inside the game are tough, but the 48 hours outside the game fly by, and before you know it, the new rules for the competition have been released.

Everyone was yawning and sleepy-eyed as they sat together, listening to Yan Zhao's introduction.

"The next game is a team dungeon, which is also the first team dungeon in this season's team competition. Everyone has to participate—it will last for seven days, and the final score will be calculated based on four criteria: [mission completion rate], [team coordination], [captain's individual performance], and [members' actual contributions]."

"Everyone has to participate?" Li Siqi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. "Great! I can finally enter the dungeon!"

Su Su patted his shoulder with relief: "Congratulations, baby."

"Then everyone should take another hour to rest and prepare," Yan Zhao said. "In this team competition, we are determined to..."

Tang Yunxi slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Let's pull off a big one!"
