Chapter 137: Chapter 137

A week after the meeting with Ludwig Reagan.

At the Omphalo-Centric Academy, Yi Chen woke up in his dorm room, preparing to head to Zed’s Paradise for today’s physical training,

The dormitory phone rang, a rare occurrence.

This call was from outside the academy, and as soon as he picked it up, a greeting filled with killing intent sounded from the receiver.

“Hello! Good morning, Mr. William. Do you remember me?”

“Jin, aren’t you involved with the academy tests recently? Moreover, there’s a pile of things to be done, and Teacher Zed has been dragging me to training every day; I’ve had no time to leave the school.”

“The teacher wants to talk to both of us, you have ten minutes.”

They also discovered a previously unrecorded and unexplored “Newborn Tunnel.”

The organization had promptly dispatched a “Tunnel Watcher” to the site of the tunnel, and had already confirmed the tunnel’s connectivity, specifications, and rating.

The organization will arrange for three qualified squads to proceed together, using the Newborn Tunnel to search for Relics of the Old World.

However, this relic event has several mandatory conditions.

1. The squad size must be “three people,” which relates to the rules of this Grey Zone.

2. All squad members’ Perception must not be lower than “3,” and at least one person must pass the basic exam of the Ancient Living Text.

The so-called “Newborn Tunnel” means never explored before, highly unknown, you might find a Rare Relic, or you might end up finding nothing and instead become infected with a disease.

Of course, the Newborn Tunnel is very much in demand, and perhaps many squads will apply by then.

“Certainly, I am eager to try out my weapons in the Grey Zone,” Jin was never one to refuse. She was always motivated by missions, and she fully trusted her instructor’s judgment.

Yi Chen’s attitude was different. This event involving touching the real Grey Zone and connecting to the channels of the Old World was a first for both him and Jin, and some things had to be asked clearly:

“I have several questions.”

“Why does the organization still deliberately arrange three squads to create a competitive situation in an unknown Grey Zone full of disease risks?”

“Competition is an innate human trait; the stimulation from ‘competition’ can significantly increase your survival chances. If one gentleman can break Limit, the sacrifice is worth it.

Moreover, enough people increase the likelihood of finding a Relic.

After all, every time a tunnel is entered, the chance of it being discovered increases. The probability of discovering a Newborn Tunnel is the smallest, and the organization will not waste such an opportunity.

Any other questions?”

“If Jin and I decide to apply, according to the requirements, we need three people… is there an arrangement for Beili the instructor on this side?”

“Gentlemen from the same batch as you in Cesimani are basically unwilling to team up with Jin, so this ‘third person’ must be found by yourselves.

You have 18 hours to confirm your choice, and then I will submit your squad’s list in the name of Cesimani.

If not many teams apply, we will arrange your departure soon and provide more detailed event information.”

“Alright, we will confirm the third person as soon as possible.”

Although Yi Chen’s face was expressionless, he was actually excited. He had been waiting so long and could also interpret the Ancient Living Text.

He had always wanted to personally explore a channel that leads to the Old World and discover the essence of the so-called Old World.

A few minutes later, Yi Chen and Jin had returned to the street area.

Regarding the third person, Jin first proposed her idea.

“William, the guy called Dash something who defeated me in strength last time, he should be good, right? To have that kind of power, he must also have a strong physique.”

“Darkberg? His Physique is already at “6,” progressing toward “7.” However, he might not , as he is in a team with Edmund.

I have already left them, and if I also take Darkberg away, I really would be a villain.”

“Why bother thinking about all that? Just ask him directly. If he’s willing to come, then let him come~”

“I’ll go and ask Professor Qian Bosen; with his connections, perhaps he can find us a suitable candidate, and at the same time, I’ll report this Relic event to him.”

“If there’s really no other choice, then I’ll ask Darkberg, alright?”
