Chapter 323: Chapter 261: Traps in the Rules

Mr. Ke answered everyone’s questions one by one until... the scene fell into complete silence, and no one spoke again.

However, it was actually the first time for everyone here to encounter such a situation where someone was specifically responsible for explaining the rules and related matters within Analog Horror.

This had never happened before in Analog Horror.

Previously, people would only try to fathom the rules through interpretation and experimentation, which was extremely dangerous; a slight mistake could lead to death.

But now, there was actually someone to answer their questions about the rules, something that was unthinkable before.

Seeing that no one else spoke up, Mr. Ke announced,

"Now that no one has any more questions, let’s begin forming teams, to search for and select teammates whom you deem trustworthy and can rely on. Remember, choose carefully, as if the compatibility is poor, teammates might instead become an impediment to each other. Oh, let me give you a tip—you can undoubtedly rely on your talents the most. That special ability is the greatest factor in determining victory or defeat, so look for teammates with abilities compatible with your own, even those who can create a synergy where one plus one is greater than two. But... don’t forget, your talent is your greatest support, and if the enemy learns of it, it will become your biggest disadvantage, so... it’s better not to reveal your ability too easily... unless you’re sure the other person is your teammate..."

Hearing Mr. Ke’s words, those who were ready to find teammates all frowned.

Indeed, what Mr. Ke said made a lot of sense and everyone immediately understood, but... to look for a teammate whose ability matched their own without revealing their own ability was incredibly difficult.

Yet, people had no choice but to do it, as it was the only way to survive, but the distance between them clearly grew much larger.

Everyone here was an enemy... and it was better to keep a distance from others when revealing one’s abilities, lest they be known by others.

But there was another problem. While everyone understood the reasoning, in such circumstances, it was still very difficult to find a suitable teammate, which left many confused, hesitant, and frantic...

As for Xiao Yi, he had no such worries, since there were already two people standing beside him, enough to form a team of three.

People also intended to approach Xiao Yi for team formation, as he was undoubtedly the first among Blue Star to clear several instances of Analog Horror and was everyone’s top choice.

However, when people saw that Xiao Yi already had a group of three, they decided not to waste any more time and hurried to find others.

"Oh, it looks like we don’t need to bother looking for more people to cooperate with. I didn’t expect this instance to require teams of three. We’re really in luck," Fei Ye said with a smile.

"..." Sheraya glanced at Fei Ye, somewhat helplessly accepting the situation.

"Then..." Fei Ye clapped her hands, drawing Xiao Yi’s and Sheraya’s attention to her, and said, "Since we’re all here, perhaps it’s time to decide on the next item."

"The next item?" Xiao Yi puzzled, "What else is there?"

"That would be... deciding who the team leader is."

"Do we even need to ask?" Sheraya spoke sternly, "Besides Xiao Yi, who else is more qualified to be the team leader?"

Xiao Yi: "...ah?"

Xiao Yi thought: Being chosen as the team leader? Indeed, the title sounded appealing, but ultimately it involved taking responsibility for leading the entire team... which was rather troublesome.

Xiao Yi had always worked alone, and frankly, it was exhausting. Having teammates would be a relief, so he certainly wasn’t keen on leading.

In fact, Xiao Yi would prefer if his teammates took the lead, so he didn’t want to be the team leader at all.

And, as it happened, just as Xiao Yi was considering how to decline the position, Fei Ye seemed to read his thoughts and promptly spoke up:

"Granted, Xiao Yi is trustworthy and reliable, but... this time, I hope you will let me be the team leader."

"...Really!?" Xiao Yi immediately felt grateful in his heart for Fei Ye’s willingness to volunteer!

Indeed, leadership should be left to those with high consciousness, responsibility, and readiness to act!

But of course, Sheraya would disagree.

"...huh? You?" Sheraya shook her head, "Putting aside whether you’re trustworthy, it’s uncertain whether you have the ability to lead us to victory. Are you trying to say you have the same strength as Xiao Yi? I can’t see it. At least when it was time to ask questions, you said nothing. In that case, we might as well team up with that hooded youth; he’s bound to be more capable than you, especially with Xiao Yi on board, he surely wouldn’t mind a strong alliance.

Moreover, since this instance has distinguished between a team leader and team members, there might be special privileges that come with being the team leader. To entrust such an important role and our lives to you, I simply cannot accept it."

Sheraya’s questioning hit the mark, sentence after sentence. If Fei Ye couldn’t give a convincing response, she indeed had no reason to become the team leader.
