Chapter 323: The Selection Begins
"That’s right!" Ye Feng reached out and picked up the night suit on the table, "Now we should divide the work and cooperate, and see how we can smoothly pass the selection tomorrow!"
"Oh, there’s one thing I forgot to tell you!" Chen Moxiang suddenly interrupted their conversation, "As the examiner for tomorrow’s selection, I can’t participate!"
"What?"
Lin Tian was taken aback, "Sister, are you kidding me?"
This small, temporarily assembled team originally had only three people. Now that Chen Moxiang can’t participate, won’t it be just me and Feng?
If we fail to pass the selection, won’t it all be for nothing?
"However, I believe in both of your abilities, you will definitely stand out!" Chen Moxiang smiled slightly at Lin Tian and Ye Feng.
"Even I don’t believe in myself?" Lin Tian replied.
"Then just wait and see!" Chen Moxiang continued to smile, but the smile was indescribably odd.
"Even if Mr. Chen doesn’t participate, I believe that the two of us can definitely pass the selection!" Unlike Lin Tian’s joking manner, Ye Feng said confidently.
"Tomorrow morning, you two should meet in front of the Fuyuan Building!" Chen Moxiang instructed them about the arrangements.
"As for other matters, you two can discuss them!" With that, Chen Moxiang left the small room.
"Look, this is a smooth steel wire rope, we will definitely use it when the time comes, it’s great for hoisting people and transporting things!" At some point, Ye Feng had a thread gleaming with cold light in his hand.
"This thing seems very strong!" Lin Tian took the wire rope from Ye Feng and tugged at it, it was very sturdy and difficult to break.
"Do we have a lot of this?" Lin Tian turned to ask Ye Feng.
"As much as you need!" Ye Feng casually opened a box that was packed with steel wires of various sizes, from thick to thin, all available.
"Great!" Lin Tian chuckled, "With this wire rope, it’s like a fish in water!"
"Here’s my plan!" Ye Feng quickly listed a schedule with each person’s responsibilities clearly written, "I have a habit, I must make a plan in advance when taking action, so everyone should act according to the plan to prevent unexpected events!"
The plan was passed to Lin Tian who carefully looked it over.
Roughly, Lin Tian was responsible for scouting and infiltration, Chen Moxiang was responsible for assisting Lin Tian and monitoring the enemies and surroundings.
As for Ye Feng, he was responsible for operating various electronic equipment and overseeing the situation.
It could be said that the three people in the small group had well-coordinated responsibilities.
"Then we’ll act according to this plan!" Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Tian stayed at Ye Feng’s place until the evening, and since there wasn’t much to do, he simply didn’t leave.
It wasn’t until the evening that Lin Tian left Ye Feng’s place and found a budget hotel.
Ever since the breakup with Bai Shishi, Lin Tian was now eager to buy a house. Otherwise, staying in budget hotels is not a long-term solution!
Back at the hotel, Lin Tian ordered takeout, ate it, and then started busying himself with training.
This Kanyue City cultural artifact exhibition is bound to be dangerous, so improving his cultivation level quickly is crucial.
White spiritual qi enveloped Lin Tian, and all night he sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed in meditation.
Early the next morning, Lin Tian arrived at the Fuyuan Building as scheduled.
Located in the heart of Kanyue City, the Fuyuan Building is a typical commercial building with many jewelry stores and luxury shops inside, frequented by wealthy businessmen and women.
"Why did Chen Moxiang choose this place?" Lin Tian was puzzled, as it didn’t seem suitable for a selection.
Under the Fuyuan Building, Lin Tian met up with Qiu, who was carrying an unusually large backpack that seemed to contain a lot of items.
"Are you here to see Mr. Chen?" Just when Lin Tian was looking around waiting for Chen Moxiang, a young man in a suit suddenly approached and asked.
"That’s right, where is she?" Lin Tian nodded.
"Follow me!" The young man gestured, leading Lin Tian and the others into the Fuyuan Building.
They took the elevator directly to the top thirty-fourth floor of the building, walked up another flight of stairs, and Lin Tian found himself on the rooftop of the building.
At this time, quite a few people were standing on the rooftop, and Lin Tian’s group’s appearance immediately drew a lot of attention.
While others were observing him, Lin Tian was also examining those standing, wondering if these were today’s competitors?
"Are these our competitors?" Ye Feng leaned over and asked Lin Tian.
"Yes!" Lin Tian nodded, seeing that about twenty people were present, grouped in threes or fours, clearly separate small teams.
What Chen Moxiang said was true, if I came alone, how could I stand out among so many teams and pass the selection?
"I’m glad everyone could arrive on time!" Chen Moxiang’s voice suddenly echoed.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the approaching Chen Moxiang, instantly making her the center of attention.
"Those of you who are here today are renowned thieves from the Celestial Dragon Continent, delighted to meet you all!" Chen Moxiang greeted everyone courteously.
But this greeting made everyone present feel a bit uneasy, after all, the term ’thief’ isn’t a good profession.
"Some of you I approached personally, some were introduced by friends, regardless of who brought you here, your presence means you all have a patriotic heart!" Chen Moxiang clasped her hands behind her back, her sharp gaze sweeping through the crowd as she continued forcefully, "I trust you all understand why we’re here today!"
"There are twenty-two people and six teams in total, and only two teams can win in this selection!" Chen Moxiang raised two fingers, "These two winning teams will undergo another stricter selection to achieve final victory!"
"If anyone has anything to say or any confusion, feel free to ask!" Chen Moxiang concluded, quietly waiting for the participants’ questions.
"Mr. Chen, I don’t understand why such a confidential operation would be known to so many people?" A young man raised his hand to ask, "What if someone is eliminated, holds a grudge, and leaks the information?"
"Good question!" Chen Moxiang’s lips curled upward, "Because the difficulty of this secret operation far exceeds imagination, and there is only one chance, failure is absolutely not an option. Thus, we must go through the selection, only the strong can carry out the mission! As for your concern, we are well-prepared!"
"All eliminated teams will temporarily stay at our Security Management Institute until the mission is completed, and we hope you all will understand!" Chen Moxiang explained the solution, which immediately sparked murmurs below.
