Shen Heng glanced at the crowd discussing.
Just as their abilities can be categorized by intensity.
Calamity Beast can also be categorized into different levels based on the strength of their race.
The Dragon Armor Beast is marked as such in the Calamity Beast Illustrated Guide.
Near-S-Class Calamity Beast!
Although it's not a pure S-Class Calamity Beast, the fact that it's separated from the A-Class and marked as Near-S-Class in the Calamity Beast Illustrated Guide shows just how terrifying this kind of Calamity Beast is.
Moreover, as Zhang Chenguang just mentioned, the Dragon Armor Beast that will appear in the simulation are at the Late Third Tier.
Among those present, Wu Hongxuan had been at the Third Tier for the longest time, but he had only broken through less than a month ago.
They were weaker in ability and there was a gap in rank, so everyone really didn't understand how to kill them.
Zhang Chenguang raised his eyes and glanced at everyone before speaking:
"If it's targeting the Dragon Armor Beast, then Third Tier teams are permitted to operate together."
"Also, although there are no rewards for this simulation, your performance will be recorded in your personal files, which will be very useful in the future, so I hope each of you will take it seriously."
"Isn't this just empty promises?" someone muttered quietly from below.
However, Zhang Chenguang didn't pay attention to that; he glanced down at the time.
"Alright, you have ten minutes to form teams now."
"The simulation will begin in ten minutes."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started discussing it.
"Brother Shen Heng, how do you plan to form a team?" Cao Mingyu asked.
He broke through to the Third Tier a few days ago, which means that in this simulation, he can only act alone, unless he is targeting the Dragon Armor Beast.
Shen Heng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Fang Ran and Zhou Xuan beside him.
"Do you guys have any ideas? If not, how about we form a team of three?"
"That's how it should be!" Zhou Xuan laughed.
"Okay, sure." Fang Ran nodded in agreement.
Seeing the three of them team up so easily, Cao Mingyu couldn't help but laugh:
"It's only because I'm already at Third Tier, otherwise I'd really like to team up with you guys!"
"Don't take your good fortune for granted. How about we switch places? I'm at Third Tier, and you're at Second Tier?" Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"If it's possible to exchange it, of course, no problem!" Cao Mingyu laughed loudly, then turned to look at Shen Heng.
"Are you planning to form teams of three and not recruit any more people?"
"We can continue pulling, but it's not really necessary," Shen Heng replied.
"Why?"
Shen Heng replied:
"With more people, it will be safer and the speed of killing the Calamity Beast will be faster, but correspondingly, the points you can get after killing the Calamity Beast will also decrease."
"Like now, you kill one Calamity Beast Calamity Beast, but we need to kill three to catch up!"
"Hmm, that makes sense." Cao Mingyu nodded thoughtfully. "Would those few people be better off?"
"Ideally, there should be 3-5 people. This way, we can deal with the Calamity Beast quickly without ending up with a situation where we kill the Calamity Beast but each person doesn't get many points."
Shen Heng gave a simple reply, then turned to look at a figure walking towards him.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"I'm here to join you." Lü Wenrui walked up to the group.
"Hmm? Why do you suddenly want to join us?" Zhou Xuan looked at Lü Wenrui with some curiosity.
"Everyone's in a team of several people, so our speed in killing the Calamity Beast shouldn't be too different, but..." Lü Wenrui said, looking at Shen Heng.
"You guys have Shen Heng, right? He'll definitely be faster at finding the Calamity Beast than they are, so joining you would be a bigger advantage!"
"That makes a lot of sense!" Zhou Xuan nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Shen Heng. "Should we let him join?"
Shen Heng pondered for a moment, then looked at Lü Wenrui and said, "Give me a reason."
"Reason?" Lü Wenrui was slightly taken aback, then said:
"I'm very strong. Didn't you see that I was able to occasionally snag the right to use an advanced Origin Power room just two months ago?"
"If it weren't for several people breaking through to Tier 3 in the last month, you would have seen me quite often later on."
"Hmm, that's somewhat convincing, but still not enough," Shen Heng said.
"Hmm? That's not enough? Don't be so demanding!" Lü Wenrui's composure crumbled slightly. He had thought that once he displayed his domineering aura, the other party would accept him as a member.
"It's not that I have high standards, but teamwork is more about coordination," Shen Heng explained calmly.
"Cooperate? I can cooperate with you guys too!"
Shen Heng pondered for a moment and said, "If we have to say, we're still lacking a tough enough meat shield. Can you do that?"
"Meat, a meat shield? I can't do that!" Lü Wenrui shook his head.
"That's more like it," Shen Heng said.
Seeing that Shen Heng seemed to have no intention of adding any more people, Lü Wenrui panicked and quickly took two steps forward, lowering his voice to say:
"Big brother, dear big brother! You absolutely have to let me join!"
"I just turned down several people who wanted to join you. If you refuse now, how am I supposed to go back and live?!"
"Puff..."
Zhou Xuan forced back his laughter, then turned his head to the side, afraid that others would see the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but raise.
Beside him, Fang Ran also subconsciously lowered his head.
Shen Heng glanced speechlessly at what was behind Lü Wenrui. Not far away, there were indeed several people watching them.
"Big brother, how about it? Can you let me join? Please!" Lü Wenrui pleaded.
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze with a hint of helplessness.
He wasn't lying; they genuinely have enough manpower right now.
Of course, adding one more person won't have much of an impact.
Although adding another person will result in a higher score, it will also make dealing with some difficult Calamity Beast much easier.
"What are your opinions?" Shen Heng asked, looking at Zhou Xuan and Fang Ran.
"I don't care!" Zhou Xuan shrugged.
Fang Ran looked at Lü Wenrui, who was gazing at him eagerly, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Why don't we let him join? That should make things safer during the simulation!"
"Good brother!"... Lü Wenrui looked at Fang Ran eagerly.
Shen Heng nodded, but did not make a decision immediately.
He recalled Lü Wenrui's performance over the past three months, only knowing that the opponent seemed to be quite strong, and that he used a long spear, and as for his abilities...
I've never seen it before; is it an invisible ability?
"What's your ability again?" Shen Heng asked, looking at Lü Wenrui.
"This one!"
As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Lü Wenrui eagerly introduced:
"My ability is Fortune; occasionally, good fortune comes my way."
" Fortune?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan looked at Lü Wenrui with some curiosity.
This was the first time he had encountered an ability similar to his own, yet also somewhat unscientific.
