“Strong Luck” and “Transformation” – both of these people’s abilities were extremely troublesome.

No matter which one joined Qi Xia’s camp, he would need to formulate detailed countermeasures.

Now both Xu Liunian and Yun Yao had basically parted ways with him. From his own perspective, trying to recruit them to join carried certain risks.

Moreover, the trick of “Transformation” was very difficult to fool a team led by Qi Xia. There would be risks if he chose that option.

At this moment, Qi Xia reached up to touch his chin, with many people’s names swirling through his mind.

The difficulty of this “Appointing Generals” lay in the fact that they had no idea what kind of game would follow. Merely the information of “team confrontation” was far from enough.

This unknown state could only make them choose as versatile a team as possible in order to deal with all situations.

“Well…?” Chu Tianqiu probed. “Have you decided who it is?”

“Of course.” Qi Xia took a deep breath, then stepped forward and wrote down a character.

“Yun.”

When Chu Tianqiu furrowed his brow, Qi Xia stopped his hand.

He turned his face expressionlessly, seemingly observing Chu Tianqiu’s reaction.

“What?” Chu Tianqiu asked. “Don’t you know how to write ‘Yao’?”

“Ha…” Qi Xia laughed. “Chu Tianqiu, you should know… I’ve never believed in ‘luck.'”

“Oh?” Chu Tianqiu thought for a few seconds and nodded. “That does sound like something only you would say.”

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu sighed softly: “Qi Xia… I know my chances of winning aren’t great. I just want to become as strong as possible in this game.”

“Good thinking.”

“So ‘Yun Yao’ appearing on your side would make my situation even more difficult,” Chu Tianqiu said. “After all, you and I have one very similar trait… which is that we won’t make things too easy for ourselves on the path to becoming stronger.”

After hearing this, Qi Xia smiled but still didn’t continue writing.

The “Yun” on the screen also gradually disappeared after Qi Xia hadn’t made a move for a long time.

“Chu Tianqiu… I think the same way as you,” Qi Xia said. “Only if ‘Yun Yao’ stays with you will this game have meaning for me.”

“You…”

Chu Tianqiu paused, then said: “Since it’s not Yun Yao, then that only leaves Xu Liunian.”

“Xu Liunian?” Qi Xia shook his head. “Deceiving people by changing appearance – that’s not my style.”

After hearing this sentence, Chu Tianqiu was a bit puzzled.

“You haven’t met many people from my room at all. If it’s neither Yun Yao nor Xu Liunian, then how will you choose?”

“Perhaps it’s not someone from the ‘current room,'” Qi Xia smiled. “For example…”

Qi Xia extended his hand and wrote three characters on the screen: “Zhang Chenze.”

The moment Chu Tianqiu saw this name, his eyes widened instantly.

“What…?” Qi Xia asked. “Don’t remember who she is?”

“You…”

Chu Tianqiu had never expected that after just one short day, Qi Xia’s memories had recovered some more. But Wen Qiaoyun hadn’t activated her “Echo,” so how had Qi Xia recovered his memories?

“Chu Tianqiu… you’ve hidden things deeply enough,” Qi Xia interrupted Chu Tianqiu’s train of thought and said. “Even though Zhang Chenze has already appeared in my room, you still pretended as if nothing happened?”

“Unluckily for you, I only remembered this matter after saying goodbye to Zhang Chenze that day,” Chu Tianqiu smiled. “You brought her from my room and kept her by your side… but ‘Soul Migration’ is such a niche ability – what use does it have for you?”

Hearing this sentence, Earth-Dragon furrowed his brow slightly and turned to look at Qi Xia, but still didn’t speak.

“I owe her,” Qi Xia answered. “She once helped me. This counts as my repayment.”

“That’s good,” Chu Tianqiu said. “Zhang Chenze once helped me too, but I didn’t know how to repay her.”

Earth-Dragon turned around and opened the wooden door. Outside was Zhang Chenze’s cold face.

“Hmm…?” She was sitting alone in the classroom of “Heaven’s Mouth,” her face full of confusion.

“Main General ‘Qi Xia’ has appointed ‘Zhang Chenze’ to enter ‘Cangjie Chess’ as reinforcement. Accept the order and walk through the door, or refuse and step back five paces.”

“Reinforcement…?” Zhang Chenze slowly stood up, walked to the door, stared at it for a long time, then opened her mouth to ask: “What is ‘Cangjie Chess’?”

“It’s my game,” Earth-Dragon answered from inside the door. “I am ‘Earth-Dragon.'”

After hearing this, Zhang Chenze nodded, then carefully examined the black light gate before her and asked once more: “Did Qi Xia himself request that I participate?”

Earth-Dragon felt that the young woman before him seemed a bit special. Compared to other people, she appeared extremely calm.

“Yes,” Earth-Dragon said.

Zhang Chenze pondered for a long time, then finally raised her head and said: “One last question… how many people are with me?”

Earth-Dragon looked back at Qi Xia, then turned his face and said: “Six.”

“Good.”

Zhang Chenze nodded and stepped into the light gate, her figure disappearing with it.

“What a calm and rational person…?” Chu Tianqiu said. “A teammate like this would put the team at ease no matter where they are, right?”

“Absolute rationality isn’t a good thing,” Qi Xia said. “What I value is her ‘big picture perspective.’ If Lawyer Zhang feels that her own death is the optimal solution to a problem, she’ll go to her death without hesitation. Based on this point alone, she’s very similar to the two of us.”

“No…” Chu Tianqiu shook his head. “Qi Xia, the three of us are completely different. You became absolutely rational in the ‘Land of the End.’ She was already completely rational before coming here.”

“Oh?” After hearing this, Qi Xia nodded. “Then what about you?”

“From the moment I was born, there has only been rationality in my brain,” Chu Tianqiu smiled. “What’s different from you two is that I gained a trace of emotion in the ‘Land of the End.’ This situation makes the three of our manifestations look almost the same – we all have nine parts rationality and one part emotion.”

“So are you planning to throw away that portion of ’emotion’?” Qi Xia asked probingly.

“I will,” Chu Tianqiu answered.

“Do you need me to help you?” Qi Xia asked again.

“Qi Xia, the only way you can help me is to let me see the gap between myself and you,” Chu Tianqiu said. “You can calculate my every move, so do you know who I’m going to choose next?”

“Of course,” Qi Xia said. “She’s right outside.”

“You… truly are a monster,” Chu Tianqiu said. “You can already walk this far without even needing to rely on your own ‘Echo.'”

Qi Xia didn’t speak, only watched as Chu Tianqiu extended his hand and began writing on the electronic screen.

Three elegant characters gradually emerged.

The next person he had chosen was none other than “Yan Zhichun.”
