I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 538 Part 3

Facing the candidates from the two families who had already gone through the selection process, Long Gaoyuan said, "You are all the best in the family. I hope you can show your strength in this selection. After that, we will face the strongest people in the whole country, no, I should say, the strongest people in the whole Blue Star. I hope you can show your best."

After he finished speaking, Long Gaoyuan slightly turned his head to glance at Yin Liu. Since their two families had already chosen to cooperate, he hoped that the Yin family would not hold back at this time.

When Yin Liu met the other person's eyes, he knew what he meant. He nodded in response. After all, wasn't that what he was thinking?

"Understood!" everyone answered in unison.

On the Long family side, Long Tao is also among them. He is a candidate for the reserve team member that Long Gaoyuan is very optimistic about. Long Tao has rich experience in exploring secret realms. In the past, when the Long family did not allow Long Gaoyuan to venture into the secret realm, Long Tao was almost the Long family's most frequent visitor to the secret realm.

The preliminary competition is a competition of the ability to explore secret realms. Long Gaoyuan hopes that Long Tao can win and join the official team.

Long Tao (blue talent, early stage of level 4 mental power, grade D physique), he is also a top-tier expert in the Long family, he is determined to get a place in this competition, he is ready to face the upcoming competition.

"In this competition, we are not only fighting for the right to develop the secret realm, but also for the opportunity for our two families to showcase their talents and strive for honor for the family. I hope everyone can take it seriously," Yin Liu also added.

Long, Yin, Jiang, and Yang are the four hidden families in Xia State that have been passed down for who knows how many years. Now that the Yang family is gone, the relationship between the Jiang family and the association is getting deeper and deeper, and it can be said that they have entered the official system.

In addition, there are some families that also have their own heritage and have also moved closer to the official.

The Long family and the Yin family are still independent. They still maintain their own set of rules as secluded families. They have transactions and cooperation with the official, but there is no in-depth cooperation.

Originally, there was a master in each of their families who was forcefully invited over by the association, but fortunately, he transferred to the academy not long after. It’s not that the academy is bad, nor that they want to go against the association, but what they want more is freedom, without being restrained or forced.

This is something these families have been accustomed to since ancient times.

But Blue Star is now in a period of great change, and the secluded family can no longer hide behind the scenes, so they simply let go of their development. Unfortunately, the situation on Blue Star is changing too fast, and their family has also suffered heavy losses due to the invasion of alien Zerg.

They used to be very picky about talent and had high demands, but when they opened up their doors and wanted to recruit more talent, they found that there were too few people willing to join them, and most of them were mediocre.

The first choice of those high-quality awakeners after graduation is always the official. They are firm in their belief in defending their country, and it is difficult for them to be chosen by forces like hidden families and private enterprises.

The elders of the two families believed that this was because the public did not have enough knowledge about their family and did not understand their strength, which was why they came up with the idea of ​​bringing out their strongest strength to participate in the competition to show themselves and attract talent.

Yin Liu didn't think so. He felt that he was not favored because his family had a strong sense of self-preservation. However, he was just a junior from a side branch, and there was nothing he could do if a bunch of elders disagreed with his views.

Argue with reason? Change the minds of the family members? No, no, no, Yin Liu didn't intend to fight for power and become the head of the family himself, but even if he just made an opinion, he was suspected because of his growing strength.

Especially Yin Chang, the next heir of the main family. Yin Chang does not have the talent and strength like Long Gaoyuan, and is very wary of his peers who have emerged in the family.

Faced with this situation, Yin Liu simply did not return home after graduation and left to start his own business. However, he did enjoy the support of his family's resources since he was a child, and he would also help solve the family's troubles, just like this time, when the head of the family asked him to represent the Yin family in the competition.

Looking at the energetic and motivated faces of the people in front of him, Long Gaoyuan loudly announced the rules of this selection, and then it would depend on their performance.

······

No. 21 Dacheng (Licheng), Dai Ning’s office.

Now 26-year-old Dai Ning has joined his family's company and is specifically responsible for managing the hunting team formed by the company.

That’s right, Dai Ning also awakened. She succeeded when she went to the association for the third time to assist in awakening.

However, the sudden bankruptcy of the Tao and Luo families caused a small turmoil in the business community of Licheng. Some were implicated and suffered heavy losses, while others took the opportunity to make a profit. The Dai family was one of those who shared the profits.

Because of this, Dai Ning missed the opportunity to go to the Psychic Academy.

After the Dai family successfully reaped the profits, expanded the company, and joined the new top circle in Licheng, Dai's father also wanted to send his daughter to the Psychic Academy.

But this was already the second year of enrollment, and those who had previously been skeptical about the college had their doubts dispelled. A large number of students wanted to enroll, and it was no longer easy to get into the college.

Wanting to contact Su Mo but unable to, Dai Ning, who possessed the blue talent, had to figure it out on her own. Fortunately, her father was very kind to her and gave her all the resources he could get.

Afterwards, other schools also opened psychic majors, and Dai Ning transferred to study there. Now that she has graduated, she is also an awakener with the peak of the second level of mental power and a physique like Xin.

Here in City No. 21, her company is strong, and the hunting team she is in charge of is also quite strong.

So when the news of the martial arts competition came out, many other companies approached her seeking cooperation, and Qisi Aisen, who also did business in City No. 21, was one of them.

Qisi Aisen (green talent, peak level 3 mental strength, equal physique.)

Since losing contact with Tao Jibang, Qisi Aisen left the capital immediately and returned to Licheng. She had realized that she had made a failed investment this time, so she stopped the loss in time.

Compared with the Yang family, Qisi was not so conspicuous. She left early and was not involved in Yang Zhixu's subsequent affairs. Su Mo didn't even want to cause trouble for her.

Licheng already has a company framework that Tao Jibang had already built. Even if Tao Jibang is gone, it will not affect Qisi's continued use. Relying on this company as a foundation, Qisi has gradually gained a foothold in Licheng.

It’s just a pity that after the continuous outbreak of insect plagues, it is almost impossible for her to return to Country J, and her secret realm in Country J is already out of reach, so she can’t control it even if she wants to.

Later, she learned that the Zerg would attack the secret realms, and Qisi no longer held out hope for the several secret realms that she was supposed to own. She knew her own business, and she only sent people to guard those secret realms. There were no shielding measures at all, so the Zerg would discover them as long as they passed by.

But she was also lucky because she came to Xia Country early and obtained Xia Country household registration during the last period of time when immigration and settlement could be processed in Xia Country.

Not only herself, but most of her subordinates obtained citizenship of Xia Country.

This is not surprising. She has already invested a lot of money in Licheng and has a mature hunting team. At the same time, her original country is J, which is friendly to Xia Country, which makes the immigration procedures smoother.

With an official identity, she is qualified to enter and explore the secret realms that are officially open to the public in Country Xia. This is a bit of comfort to Qisi, who has lost several secret realms in Country J.

"Captain Dai, we had a very pleasant cooperation last time. If we continue to form a team together in this competition, we will definitely achieve good results." Qisi stated her purpose straight away.

What Qisi said was true. Their last secret realm collaboration was indeed pleasant. Dai Ning thought so too, but...

"Ms. Qisi, we are old friends. To be honest, I received several invitations today."

"Oh? I wonder what Captain Dai thinks?" Qisi raised her eyebrows, not in a hurry.

She is aware of her own strength and the strength of her subordinates. At least in City No. 21, she is definitely Dai Ning's best partner!

"In such a large-scale competition, the opponents must be strong. We all have good teams, but to be honest, we are definitely not good enough for the big competition."

"So, we need to cooperate, right?"

"Of course!"

"Captain Dai, can you tell me frankly, how many other companies are there besides you and me?" Qisi had no objection to the cooperation.

She just doesn't want to cooperate with too many forces. It would be best if there was one less force sharing the benefits.

Dai Ning held up three fingers. This was not the number of people who came to her, but the number she wanted to cooperate with.

"Since we have chosen to participate, everyone must want to get a good ranking. If Miss Qisi agrees, I will organize a team tomorrow and bring out the people recommended by each of our five families to compete. We will then select a team to participate in the competition."

Qisi was silent.

Dai Ning did not want to give up Qisi as a partner. She carefully analyzed her ideas and the advantages of the other three companies with Qisi.

Qisi listened in silence and finally nodded in agreement.
