"That's right, I need your strength to help me win first place. I wonder if you'd be willing?"
"Of course, I will give you many things you want, such as Study Points or Forbidden Object."
Su Xian smiled as she looked at Li Chen, seemingly waiting for his answer.
He has already given his conditions; whether Li Chen agrees or not is up to him.
The so-called choice is actually quite good for Li Chen, because Su Xian wants to compete for first place, and now that she is trying to win over Li Chen, it means that she wants to have one less competitor.
Naturally, this would increase their chances of winning, and it would be even better if they could win Li Chen over to their side.
The conditions he's offering are quite attractive; Study Points and Forbidden Object are things that almost every student in the Special Class wants.
Especially the Forbidden Object; even Li Chen was somewhat tempted, after all, he had witnessed the power of many Forbidden Object.
However, Li Chen hesitated for a few seconds after hearing his words and looked at Su Zhe and the others.
He didn't try to hide anything from Su Xian, turning around directly and asking, "What do you all think?"
Su Zhe shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
"I have no objection, Chen-ge, I'll go wherever you point."
Jianping remained silent, indicating his agreement.
As for Luo Lin and Meng Xi, they had no interest in first place; their participation in the Canglan Tournament was entirely accidental.
"Uh..." Li Chen waved his hand helplessly, looked at Su Xian, and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"But what are the Forbidden Object?"
Having received Li Chen's reply, Su Xian smiled even more broadly and asked, "How about the Forbidden Object No. 356 being revived?"
"As for the effect, it can quickly restore most of the injuries of one Sequence User each day, but its drawback is that it requires the daily supply of morning dew."
Just as Li Chen was listening to Su Xian's explanation, the door opened again, and Ji Shao and her teammates came out.
The current situation is indeed somewhat awkward.
This is clearly a scene of dirty dealings.
Ji Shao frowned and looked at Li Chen and Su Xian, saying with ill intent, "Su Xian, you wouldn't be trying to win over Li Chen, would you?"
Su Xian awkwardly touched the magic book in her hand, thinking to herself, "This couldn't have come at the worst possible time."
Ji Shao snorted coldly and said, "You rascal, you're always carrying around a magic book, I'll burn it one of these days!!"
Before Su Xian could speak, A Jin, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. The gold ring on his finger instantly transformed into a long spear and stabbed towards Ji Shao.
"Ha... how reckless." Ji Shao simply conjured a colorful flame on his fingertip.
"Burning."
Before the spear could even get close, it instantly melted into a pool of molten gold.
But A Jin just sneered, and with a slap of his palm, the golden liquid instantly rose into the air, transforming into a golden blade.
Just as they were about to attack Ji Shao again, Su Xian clapped her hands and said calmly, "A Jin, stop."
Just a moment ago, A Jin was still burning with arrogance, but after a second of hesitation, he retreated and gave Ji Shao one last glare.
"I wonder, does Miss Ji really think she'd interfere in such a trivial matter?" Su Xian asked with a hint of a smile, though his voice was cold.
"Heh... I just can't stand your smiling tiger face."
Ji Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, his words quite straightforward.
She just couldn't stand Su Xian and her group.
"All I want is to get first place, is that going to stop you?"
Su Xian's expression suddenly changed, becoming very cold.
"First, you mentioned it's easy."
"Don't you have any idea about the rewards for the competition?"
Ji Shao did not back down at all and spoke up.
However, their argument left Li Chen puzzled.
Award?
How could he not know that there were rewards for this competition?
Li Chen only knew that the competition seemed to offer a team spot in the Academy Tournament's final competition as a reward for winning first place; he knew nothing else.
At this moment, Su Zhe whispered, "Chen-ge, what's the point of getting first place?"
"It's just being number one, isn't it?"
In Su Zhe's eyes, perhaps even the best thing is being able to eat the Eerie Monsters meat-filled Baozi made by his own nanny every day.
"I don't know." Li Chen shook his head; he didn't know either.
They inexplicably participated in this competition and have now reached the finals; it seems they have no idea what the point of winning first place is.
Luo Lin, who hadn't spoken until now, looked at Li Chen and Su Zhe with a puzzled expression and asked, "Don't you know what the reward is for first place?"
"Unsure." *3
Even Jianping quietly chimed in.
He doesn't usually pay much attention to these things.
"There are only three rewards for this competition: qualification for the Academy Tournament team battle, 50,000 Canglan Academy Study Points, Forbidden Object, the Lunar Eclipse," Luo Lin murmured.
Upon hearing this, Li Chen remained silent.
He now understood why Su Xian had offered a Forbidden Object as a price to recruit him into the team.
He will not lose out if he gets first place; in fact, he will make a profit.
The qualification was obtained, and Study Points were also earned. The Forbidden Object were also directly replenished and even strengthened.
It would be a huge loss if they didn't get first place, but since Su Xian is already Ranking Board first, and with Li Chen's team on the team, they are full of confidence and can be considered a top-tier team.
However, Li Chen now has other plans.
He had a pretty good idea of what Su Xian wanted, and since Ji Shao had also approached him before, he knew exactly what they were after.
Qualified, that's right.
Li Chen had already thought of this; what they were competing for now was the qualification for the Academy Tournament.
Since Su Xian was willing to offer the Forbidden Object as a price, it meant that he had no interest in the Forbidden Object itself.
That means I only have the qualification for the Academy Tournament.
And Ji Shao, needless to say, is no exception.
Li Chen was puzzled as to why they were all vying for the qualification for the Academy Tournament competition.
However, he has already made his plans.
Since they all want it, why not fight for it myself?
Anyway, it's not a loss to get it. At worst, I can sell the qualification to those two teams later, and I'll still get Study Points and Forbidden Object. It's a sure-fire deal.
Of course, the prerequisite is to get first place.
The atmosphere seems a bit serious right now.
Ji Shao and Su Xian just stared at each other blankly, not bothering to talk about being number one anymore.
Su Xian broke the silence first, speaking up, "Li Chen, what about the suggestion from earlier?"
"You've joined us with a Forbidden Object, and of course, I'll give you 50,000 Study Points later."
The conditions were raised again, seemingly in an attempt to appease Li Chen.
Li Chen naturally guessed his thoughts, and his choice was already very clear.
They just wanted to Li Chen and the others into their team.
They don't care about the Study Points, they just want the qualification for the Academy Tournament.
They won't lose out as long as they get first place, but if Li Chen chooses them, he's guaranteed to make a profit.
You can get 50,000 for free to Study Points and also obtain a Forbidden Object.
Li Chen hesitated again. After all, choosing the path he had just considered was risky, but there was a risk-free path in front of him.
Whether he chooses to choose or not is entirely up to him.
The choice between Su Zhe and the others rested with him.
