CH 159

With the aid of these potions, they didn't need to worry about anything when they were collecting supplies or if they accidentally encountered other participants on the way.

Even if they couldn't beat them, they could still slip away with the powerful effect of the Spiritual Sensitivity Potion.

However, battling with the other contestants was secondary according to the rules of the competition. The focus was on collecting supplies, so there won’t be a great impact even if more opponents are eliminated.

Therefore, unless they are competing for supplies, the contestants will ignore or bypass each other if they happen to meet.

However, this did not mean that this round was free from danger and difficulty. The rules clearly state the importance of supplies, so these materials would not be easily accessible to competitors.Pizza

play point on the map is equipped with the defense system. The more abundant the supplies, the stronger the defense system. In addition, there were traps, and it was more likely that the participants would fall in.

However, although this arrangement made things more difficult for the other groups and many lost their team members, it had little effect on Cheng Yi and An Yan's side.

In the final analysis, the reason naturally lay in An Yan's potions.

With the SS-grade potions, they would not run out of spiritual power, lose reflexes due to sudden attacks, nor suffer damage to the mechas due to traps they stepped on.

Therefore, even though they encountered some difficulties that will prevent them from getting the supplies they need, they had their safety guaranteed.

The group went back and forth between the various resource points on the principle of safety first and resources second.

Although it was impossible to get every resource on the way, the amount of supplies the group obtained was still rising thanks to everyone’s efforts.

It was a busy time until the end of the round. Everyone in the group breathed a sigh of relief when the familiar electronic tone announced the successful conclusion of the round.

Everyone returned to the group's initial meeting point and prepared to meet the airship organized by the competition officials.

Everyone was in a relaxed mood and came together to whisper and exchange ideas since this round went well and the competition was over.

Mecha Warrior 6: "I didn't expect this round to be this easy. I'm really lucky to be teamed up with two big bosses! "

Pharmacist 10: "Yes, yes, I was given 5 SS-rank potions, and I wonder if I'm dreaming. Otherwise, how could I be so lucky!"

Mecha Warrior 13: "An Yan is too nice. If it were me, I would never give them away, even if I could successfully make SS-grade potions! "

Pharmacist 15: "Who says otherwise? I've never seen such a generous person before! "

Mecha warrior 16: "I'm not saying anything, I'm a NC fan of boss An Yan from now on!"

Pharmacist 19: "I'm really bad at making potions, I thought I was going to be eliminated in this round for sure, but I never thought I'd be so lucky as to be teamed up with two bosses!"

Mecha warrior 17: "It would have been impossible for all the members of the group to make it to the end if we hadn’t teamed up with boss An Yan."

Pharmacist 7: "Although our group had one team eliminated, it is indeed considered that all of us lasted until the end."

The two people who were eliminated were mecha warrior and Pharmacist no. 18.

They didn't have An Yan’s potions at hand, and were eliminated from the competition after they accidentally stepped into a trap during a search for supplies.

Whether it was the members of the group or the viewers of the live broadcast, everyone was overwhelmed with regret when mecha warrior 18 was eliminated. He had done nothing wrong from the beginning to the end and was completely dragged down by his partner.

In contrast, everyone was very happy to see pharmacist 18 eliminated. Who let you take a potion from the boss and deliberately slander him behind his back? Do you finally know how much weight you carry now that you've been eliminated?

The only regret was that if their group came first in terms of supplies collected, then pharmacist No. 18 would still be considered to have advanced even if he had been eliminated from the competition.

But everyone was very good at comforting themselves. They considered it from a different perspective and felt it wasn't a bad thing. Mecha warrior 18 would get to advance as well.

There was no time for them to dwell too much on this issue. The competition’s airship had already arrived, and the team members boarded it one after another.

Although the group cooperated well in this round, they would be rivals for the title in the next.

Everyone was surprisingly unanimous in their thoughts in the face of this cruel fact.

Mecha Warrior no.1: "Even though I've been promoted to be a fan of the two big bosses, I can't help but feel a bit numb at the thought of meeting them in the next match."

Pharmacist 8: "It's the pharmacists who should be feeling numb. I wouldn't be able to create an SS-rank potion casually even if I practiced for decades!"

Pharmacist 11: "Don’t mention making SS-rank potions casually. I can’t even make one in my lifetime."

Mecha Warrior 13: "Come on, let's all get numb; the most powerful mecha warrior was paired with the most powerful pharmacist. There's nothing we can do but get numb, right? "

Pharmacist no. 15: "We can kneel down and beg not to meet the two bosses too early!"

This comment was immediately echoed by everyone. It shouldn't be a team competition next, so they could only hope they meet the two big bosses much later to be eliminated.

Just as everyone was gossiping with each other on the return journey, the competition officials had counted, verified and announced the results of this round at the fastest speed.

The results were presented in groups and contained two main elements;  the number of supplies obtained by the group and the number of members remaining in the group.

In order to whet everyone's appetite, the results were not announced in one go, but from the 5th and last place onwards.

5th place, 21 points for materials, and 2 members of the group remained.

The materials obtained in the competition were divided into points according to levels. The lowest difficulty was 1 point, then 5 and 10 points upwards, while the most difficult carried 50 points.

There were twenty people in the whole group, and they only ended up with 21 points. It was indeed a bit low, but it was clear that this group was almost wiped out at the start of the tournament by looking at their remaining numbers. So it was difficult for the remaining people to pull off a win even if they worked hard.

Next up was the 4th place group.

4th place, with 86 material points and 7 remaining in the group.

Although it also looked a bit pathetic, it was a lot better than last place.

3rd place, with 179 material points and 8 people remaining in the group.

The 3rd place naturally had better data, gaining more than twice as many material points as 4th place, but with about the same number of people remaining as 4th place.

Next came the 2nd place, with 321 material points and 10 people remaining in the group.

There’s no doubt as to which group would place first after the data for second place was released. Or rather, most people already had an idea in their minds even before the results were announced, as everyone was watching the performance of each group on the field.

However, there was a stir when the 1st place data was announced.

1st place, 2,395 material points, with 19 people remaining in the group.

Many people thought they had misread when they first saw this result. After looking at it a few times to make sure they were not mistaken, they wondered if the officials had given the wrong figures.

It must have been an extra digit, right? 395 points was more likely. How could it be 2395 points? That's a full 2,000 points more than 2nd place!

And isn’t the number of people left in the group too exaggerated? At least half of the teams in other groups had been eliminated. How could this group have only one team eliminated?

While everyone was talking and doubting the figures provided by both sides, the competition officials coincidentally announced the details of the supplies obtained by each group.

The details of the materials obtained were the exact amount of materials obtained by each member of the group.

This time, instead of releasing the data one group at a time as they had just done, they released this information all at once.

However, given the sensation created by the first place team's data, everyone simply ignored the remaining 4 teams and focused on the group that ranked first.

According to the ranking of the resource points gained, the two people in first place were obviously An Yan and Cheng Yi, who had gained 1,111 points alone.

The remaining 19 members did not perform as well, but they also gained a lot of points. Even the member in last place gained 23 material points, which was 2 points more than the total points of the group in 5th place.

Instead of alleviating their excitement when they saw these results, their emotions became even more volatile. The first place in the group alone had nearly 800 points more than the total points of the 2nd place group! In addition, there were many other members who had more points than the total points of the 2nd place group. How is this possible?
