After the task was assigned to Gentleman Hall, it matched Yi Chen with two teammates within half a day, mainly for two reasons.
1. There was a large number of gentlemen who had reached their limits but never managed to break through. Although Yi Chen already possessed two special relics, finding a relic suited to oneself was extremely difficult for most gentlemen.
Competing for a spot in the Relic Event, braving the dangerous Gray Sand surrounding the passage, and exploring the Old World within a one-day time limit.
Even after successfully passing all three stages, digging ancient relics out from beneath the Gray Sand covering the Old World's Surface Layer did not guarantee that they would match one's attributes. The relics themselves might even be damaged or incomplete, rendering them useless for a breakthrough.
2. Lewenholm was the organization's third-largest city, and many elite gentlemen had been stationed there.
The four people who had yet to transcend the human level would be sent there. They would certainly not come into contact with the most dangerous areas, but would instead assist with relatively ordinary support duties.
As long as they did not deliberately court death, the danger would not be particularly high.
If the event was later determined to be beyond five stars in difficulty, the participants would also receive compensation from the organization. As Barry had said, if they made a significant contribution to the event, they might even receive a relic directly from the organization.
Even without a direct relic reward, they would receive priority for the next Relic Event.
Yi Chen and the other three were taken to the second floor of Gentleman Hall.
Their old acquaintance, Supervisor Aige, who wore his top hat at an angle, was responsible for conducting the four-person "qualification review."
