"Sausages for sale! Oscar Brand Sausage, delicious and sweet!"

The three of them followed the sound and saw a young man with a thick beard pushing a small cart, enthusiastically promoting his sausages to the passing examinees.

However, the moment he saw the three young women, including Ning Rongrong, his eyes lit up instantly, and he flashed what he believed to be a dashing smile.

Yet, the three women merely cast a cold glance at him and, as if by silent agreement, bypassed him entirely, their eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

The look in their eyes was as if they were staring at something filthy.

The smile on Oscar's face froze instantly; he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, turning to stone on the spot.

Why? Why would these three peerless beauties look at me like that? Has my charm failed? (Do you even have any right now?)

Tang San, who was following behind, saw this and, though he didn't understand the situation, subconsciously followed the three women in bypassing the sausage stall.

Dai Mubai led the group, and they were soon to arrive at the final assessment location.

Facing the level 76 Spirit Saint, "Immovable Wisdom King" Zhao Wuji, the three women felt unprecedented pressure.

Before they even reached him, they gathered together and quietly sent a distress signal in the group chat.

[First Cute Bunny: @All Members Help! The assessment content is exactly like the video the Group Owner revealed. We have to team up with Tang San and hold out against Zhao Wuji for the duration of one incense stick!]

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: Yeah, yeah! Isn't this just bullying us?]

Although they all knew they would eventually qualify due to Tang San's performance, they certainly didn't want to be knocked unconscious or injured.

After all, having already learned of an unpleasant outcome, who would willingly walk toward it?

Inside the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong saw these messages, a flicker of interest crossing her crimson eyes.

[Most Beautiful Pope: Report your spirits, levels, and spirit skills.]

The three women dared not delay and immediately sent their information to the group.

As the Pope of Spirit Hall and their senior, Bibi Dong—despite being somewhat love-struck when it came to romance—was someone whose experience and strength they dared not deny or ignore.

Bibi Dong merely glanced at the data, combined it with the details from the video she had seen yesterday, and quickly formed a judgment in her mind.

[Most Beautiful Pope: One power attack, one agility attack, one support—the configuration is decent, but the level gap is too vast. A direct confrontation is no different from throwing an egg against a rock.]

[Most Beautiful Pope: However, it is not entirely without opportunity. I have a tactic here that you can refer to. The core idea is to abandon direct confrontation and focus on maneuvering and containment. At the same time, use that Tang San beside you as a natural mobile shield and a tool to draw aggro.]

Bibi Dong sent out her "sell out your teammate" tactic in a concise and clear manner.

[Most Beautiful Pope: Zhu Zhuqing, you are responsible for using your speed advantage to constantly harass Zhao Wuji and lure his attacks toward Tang San's direction. Xiao Wu, you provide support from the flanks, protecting Tang San from being directly crippled while using your Charm skill to disrupt Zhao Wuji's rhythm. Ning Rongrong, your task is the heaviest; you must ensure the buffs on the other two remain constant while paying attention to your own safety.]

After reading this strategy, the three women looked at each other, seeing the hesitation in each other's eyes.

Make them sell out Tang San? This... isn't that a bit wrong?

Although they were already on guard against Tang San because of the Group Owner, using him as a shield directly—wouldn't that be a bit unscrupulous?

Moreover, even if they really did that, with their current strength, could such a tactic last long? The opponent's strength was simply too overwhelming.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: But... Your Majesty Pope, any tactic is likely ineffective in the face of absolute power, right? If we slip up, won't we end up getting beaten quite badly?]

[Most Beautiful Pope: You are right. Therefore, unless you have a way to prevent Zhao Wuji from fully exerting his power, or you possess strength that can momentarily surpass his, getting beaten is inevitable. This Seat can only provide tactical guidance; how you execute it is up to you.]

Bibi Dong's words caused the hearts of the three women to sink to the bottom.

Just then, the clever Xiao Wu suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

[First Cute Bunny: Wait! Didn't the Group Owner say we could find him if we had trouble? Let's ask him if he has a way!]

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also felt as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw and immediately @'d Ye Qiong in the group.

[First Cute Bunny: @Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero Group Owner! Save us! Is there any way for us to avoid getting beaten and still pass the assessment?]

Aedes Elysiae.

Ye Qiong was currently sensing the information brought about by the unsealing of the Void Archives.

"Hum!"

Accompanied by a soft chime, the golden cube stopped spinning and hovered quietly in Ye Qiong's palm, a feeling of blood-connection surging into his heart.

It was done!

Ye Qiong could clearly feel that he could now use this life-bound weapon as he pleased.

Just like in his past life, it could truly mimic all things!

"Mimi?"

Mimi, who was nearby, floated over curiously and rubbed her little head against the golden cube, seemingly very interested in this novel toy.

Ye Qiong's thoughts stirred, recalling the days he fought side-by-side with his sister in his past life.

"It's decided, it's you! Come out, my baseball bat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden cube instantly transformed into a silver-gray metal baseball bat engraved with star patterns, appearing in his hand.

The bat felt slightly heavy in his grip, and that familiar sensation made Ye Qiong's blood boil with excitement.

He looked not far away at a scarecrow printed with a Romantic Ancient Scholar, a fanatical smile curling his lips as he assumed a classic batting stance.

"Rules are meant to be broken!"

Whoosh!

The baseball bat tore through the air, tracing a perfect arc before slamming precisely into the head of Romantic Ancient Scholar.

"Bang!"

Romantic Ancient Scholar's head shot straight up into the sky, tracing a perfect parabola through the air before finally rolling away into the distance.

"Satisfying!"

Ye Qiong, as if possessed by Xia Luo, danced about in excitement.

"I declare! Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero has officially returned today!"

Ye Qiong raised his baseball bat high, pointing it toward the heavens with a passionate expression.

"Mimi! Mimi!"

Mimi mimicked him from the side, raising its little paws high and letting out an enthusiastic cry.

Just then, the classic @ notification sound of the group chat rang out again, interrupting his chuunibyou declaration.

Ye Qiong gave a tactical cough and opened the group chat.

Seeing the three women's cries for help, he smiled and replied patiently.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Well, it's not that there isn't a way. I might have something here that can help you.]

[First Cute Bunny: Really?! What is it?]

The three women were overcome with excitement; the Group Owner really did have a way!

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Wait a moment, I'll send you an exclusive red packet. This item can be transferred through a red packet.]

The others lurking in the group were also filled with curiosity. So red packets could actually be used for this? Learned something new today.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: However, I can give you the item, but there is one condition.]

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: What condition?]
