Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 764: Increase the number of places
Donna simply sent an email to Li Jiu through the God of War system, asking him to bring Bacchus and Xiaodao back to the Night Rose Mercenary Group as soon as possible, but did not specify the reason.
However, Li Jiu also sensed a sense of tension from the email.
Therefore, he did not dare to delay and immediately dismissed Zhao Wu, Gordon and Joseph, and took Bacchus and Xiaodao and quickly rushed to the Night Rose Mercenary Group.
…
"Captain, why are you calling us here so urgently? What happened?"
In the Night Rose Mercenary Group, in Donna's office, Li Jiu and the members of the Fifth Team all came and sat in front of Donna, looking at her with curiosity, not knowing why she was in a hurry to gather everyone together. The anxious Bacchus asked directly.
"This matter is very important, so I'll get straight to the point." Donna looked around at everyone, a hint of excitement on her face, "The reason I only called a few of you here is because I just received a notice from above about the provincial competition!"
"Provincial competition?" The team members were slightly stunned, and then couldn't help showing surprise.
Could it be that the specific details of the provincial competition are about to be announced?
The team members all thought of this at the first moment, but when they thought about it carefully, they felt that it was unlikely.
Because during the last city-level competition, the specific competition details were not announced until all participating teams arrived at the competition site.
This provincial competition is more important than the municipal competition. According to common sense, it should be more mysterious. It seems unlikely that the details of the competition will be known to everyone so soon.
"However, this notice only involves the upcoming provincial competition, but its main purpose is related to the biochemical combat in the eastern province." Donna continued with a smile on her lips.
Now the team members were even more confused. Why was it related to the biological and chemical warfare in the eastern province? What was the relationship between the two?
"Captain, stop keeping us in suspense and just say it directly." Li Jiu said with a helpless smile. Just now Donna said that she would tell everyone straight to the point, but the result was that the more she talked, the more confused everyone became. It was obvious that she was just trying to whet everyone's appetite.
However, judging from the smile on Donna's face, this notice seems to be a good thing for everyone. Therefore, Li Jiu has nothing to worry about.
"Haha, Li Jiu, why are you in such a hurry? Every mercenary group will receive this notice, and your Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group is no exception. It's just that mercenary groups like us who have already qualified for the provincial competition will receive it earlier than you." Donna smiled and said indifferently.
Then, looking at the deep curiosity on everyone's faces, Donna shook her head and smiled, "Okay, I really won't keep you in suspense this time."
"The content of the notice above is quite long, but to sum it up, its core meaning is just one sentence: the higher-ups are going to temporarily increase the number of participants in the provincial competition!"
"What? Increase the number of places for the provincial competition?!"
The team members couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then they all frowned and looked at each other.
Even Li Jiu frowned slightly at this moment.
When Li Jiu saw the smile on Donna's face just now, he thought that this notice should be a good thing, but now it seems that it is of no benefit to anyone at all!
Increasing the number of entries for the provincial competition? What a joke!
You know, in order to win the city championship in Shoushan City and get a place in the provincial competition in Zhongzhou Province, my teammates and I put in a lot of sweat and effort.
Even before the city-level competition began, he led his teammates to venture onto the battlefield and experienced a month of non-stop fighting, going through life and death countless times.
Moreover, even so, on the day of the city competition, if the defender camp had not suddenly launched a biological war, he and his teammates might not have been able to win the city championship!
In short, the members of the fifth team went through a lot of hardships to finally get the qualification to participate in the provincial competition. But now, the people above just sent a notice to add new participating teams and add more competitors to everyone. No matter who it is, I'm afraid they will feel unfair, right?
After all, even now, Li Jiu is not sure that he can lead the fifth team to win the provincial championship, let alone add other competitors.
"It seems that you all don't like this news?" However, Donna still had a smile on her face, as if the reactions of the crowd were just what she expected.
"Captain, this is too bad, isn't it?" Bakus said with a bitter face, "This notice is obviously unfair to our team that has already qualified for the provincial competition! If we had known that we still had a chance to qualify for the provincial competition, why would we have fought so hard to get the only spot in Shoushan City?"
Although the others didn't say anything, they nodded silently, obviously agreeing with what Bacchus said.
"Haha, you can't say that." Donna looked around at everyone, shook her head and smiled, "You know, the hard work you put in in the city competition was not in vain. At least you won the city championship and got the warrior-level honor. Now, even if other teams have the opportunity to qualify for the provincial competition, they will never get the warrior-level honor this time."
Everyone was silent.
What Donna said was right. Everyone’s efforts in the city-level competition were indeed rewarded.
However, even if all the gains from the municipal competition were added together, it would probably not be as valuable as the qualification to participate in the provincial competition!
After all, although it was just a qualification, there was only one spot in the entire Shoushan City. Moreover, getting this qualification meant a chance to get higher honors and greater benefits!
Therefore, even after hearing what Donna said, everyone still felt a little unhappy.
"Captain, this notice... you haven't finished speaking yet, right?" Li Jiu pondered for a moment and asked Donna.
He didn't believe it! If this notice was just like this, Donna would never be happy.
"Smart!" Donna glanced at Li Jiu and nodded with a smile, "Increasing the qualification for the provincial competition is for all mercenary groups in the alliance. At the same time, the alliance has naturally taken into account the feelings of those of you who have already obtained the qualification. Therefore, for you, that notice also gives you extra opportunities!"
"Oh? What extra opportunity?" Li Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This opportunity is that even if we are eliminated in the next provincial competition, we are still eligible to participate in the league finals!" Donna said with a smile, with excitement in her tone.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly became quiet and stunned, as if they couldn't believe what Donna said.
Even if you lose in the provincial competition, you can still participate in the finals?
This... this is basically equivalent to a resurrection card in the game!
No! Calling it a resurrection card seems to be underestimating it!
If you can still advance after losing, doesn't that mean... you don't even need to participate in the provincial competition and can directly advance to the finals!
Of course, if you advance directly without participating in the competition, then you will naturally have no chance to win the provincial championship and obtain heroic honors.
But even so, this opportunity is still too incredible, right?
At this moment, even Li Jiu couldn't help but have a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
Very good!
If this opportunity really comes, then I will definitely seize it!
It just so happens that I have no confidence at all about the upcoming provincial competition.
If nothing unexpected happens, the fifth team will basically be eliminated in the provincial competition in a month.
However, if they can get this opportunity, then the Fifth Team will have a little more hope.
You know, although the finals will start soon after the provincial competition, there is almost no time interval in between. But even if the time interval between the two competitions is smaller, there should be at least a few days, right?
And now, what he and his teammates lack is time. Even if it's just a few days, perhaps the strength of the Fifth Team can be taken to a higher level.
"Captain, what can we do to get this opportunity?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu couldn't help but ask quickly.
At this moment, what he cared most about was what he should do to seize this opportunity.
"Well, well, Captain, how can we get this opportunity?!"
At this time, the team members also understood the value of this opportunity and asked excitedly.
"It's easy to get this opportunity. You just need to go to the eastern province to hunt biochemical warriors! Moreover, the more you kill, the better!" Donna restrained her expression and nodded solemnly.
However, after hearing her words, the excitement on the team members' faces gradually disappeared and was replaced by solemn expressions.
Go to the Eastern Province to hunt down biochemical warriors? The more the better?
This method... doesn't seem to be simple at all, right? !
Everyone has seen the situation in the eastern province. It is definitely not safer than the battlefield outside.
The key is that there are simply too many biochemical warriors there, and it is impossible to kill them all!
Moreover, when you are dealing with a group of biochemical warriors, more biochemical warriors may suddenly appear to besiege you.
"Captain, what does the provincial competition have to do with the things happening in the eastern province? Why does this notice link these two things together?" Li Jiu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.
He also knew that going to the eastern province to hunt biochemical warriors was very dangerous, but even so, he still wanted this opportunity!
But now, he first needs to figure out what the full meaning of this notice is.
The provincial competition is linked to the battle in the eastern province, and there is probably something complicated going on.
