Chapter 966: The New Member

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

After talking to Sheyan for a while, Zi recovered from her surge of emotion.

"The Stockholm Party did it. They didn't get into the world on a large scale to interfere with us, but we were set up in a very dangerous situation nonetheless. We were defeated under the combined attack from three parties. One of the parties had originally allied with us but they betrayed us at the most crucial moment! If it weren't for the various powerful survival abilities of the Ace Party, we would have been decimated."

Sheyan's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He then sighed deeply and said,"Stockholm Party. Well done! I'll remember this!"

Zi did not speak for a long time. Sheyan seemed to need a little time to digest the information he was getting, so for a long time neither of them made a sound, allowing the slight buzz in the phone to fill the thousands of kilometers of void between them. For some reason, Sheyan suddenly find himself missing those delicate and slightly raised lips of hers.

The two of them remained silent for several minutes, but the atmosphere was not awkward. They could clearly understand each other's thoughts. The silence, at that moment, conveyed more meaning than any words could.

After a while, Zi finally said, "I'm sorry to have brought you such bad news. What about you? I think the fact that you're able to answer my call is already a good news in itself. According to the statistics I have, the passing rate of a Bloody World does not exceed 50%, and the chance of dying during the first breakthrough challenge is higher than 20%. So your chances of survival in the last world were actually less than 40%.

"Don't most people who attempt the breakthrough challenge survive?" asked Sheyan.

"There are always exceptions to everything," replied Zi with a slight sigh.

Sheyan knew that it was a heavy topic, so he smiled and said, "According to your statistics, what is the probability of successfully breaking through to a Growth Hunter and surviving the Bloody World at the same time?"

Zi was quiet for a moment. Sheyan could feel Zi's relieve from the other end of the phone.

"This is the only good news I've heard in the last 24 hours. Well, according to my calculation, it's about 7.3%. You should be part of the 7.3%"

Sheyan laughed again.

"Then, according to your calculation, what is the probability of successfully breaking through to a Dual-Specialty Growth Hunter and surviving the Bloody World at the same time?"

Zi stopped talking completely. Sheyan could even imagine her furrowed brows right now. He knew that she was a very competitive woman, so the fact that he became a Dual-Specialty Growth Hunter would certainly provoke her. After a while, she asked in a slightly disgruntled voice, "Did you really manage to do that?"

Sheyan said with a nod, "I sure did. The doubling of the attributes was really quite troublesome, and the terrifying 1000% bonus to HP almost made me lose hope. Fortunately, I managed to overcome the challenge. " 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Zi sighed with some melancholy.

"I knew I should have tried a few more times. Which two attributes did you choose? Strength and Physique?"

"Yup, but you haven't answered my question yet."

"I don't have an answer for you, because there's no one crazy enough to attempt a dual-attribute breakthrough while going through a Bloody World," replied Zi with a bitter smile.

"Well, this crazy man was also forced to complete a Golden Side Mission along the way - I'm sure you think I'm just bragging and won't believe me."

Zi finally became like a crazed wild kitten as she said scathingly, "You're a total madman!"

Then, she hung up. Only after that did Sheyan say quietly into the phone, "I think you haven't slept well for a couple of days, have you? Now, have a good rest and relax. I know you must be feeling really bad. You've done your best. Leave the rest to me.

**************

The one who died in battle was Franklin, who had just joined the team not too long ago.

At the most critical moment, the allied party that had been fighting by their side suddenly turned hostile. They already knew how strong Zi was, and also knew that Reef was an MT, so they concentrated fire on Brother Black and Franklin with the idea that it was better to break one finger than to hurt all ten.

Faced with this situation, Reef could only rescue one of the two. Reef had always been a sentimental person. The most profound piece of memory he had was when Sheyan and Brother Black rescued him from the Zerg wave numbering hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, although Franklin showed a very strong will to survive, and Zi also tried her hardest to rescue him, but in the end, the role of an MT was irreplaceable. In addition, the external pressure was simply too strong with the three teams attacking them together, one of them even stabbing the Ace Party in the back! If Reef had promoted to an Awakener MT, it might be possible to save Franklin too. Unfortunately, that was not the case…

At the last minute, the mage contestants of two parties joined forces to suppress Zi. The mage contestant of the last party specialised in dimensional ability, so he was able to first cut off Franklin's attempt to connect to the 'Amniotank', and then cut off Franklin's teleport formation, eventually leading to Franklin's demise.

Under the enemies' persistent pursuit, the Ace Party could only flee pathetically. They did not even have the time to complete the main mission, let alone the side missions. In the end, they could do naught but swallow the bitter pill, quietly accepting the biggest loss the party had suffered since its establishment.

At that point, they truly missed Sheyan's large-scale disease. If they had the help of the disease, they wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing predicament, where they were struggling just to run away. What's more, Zi had a faint feeling that there was someone coordinating the joint attack of the three parties from behind the scenes!

Zi was, without a doubt, a capable party leader who can handle most situations very well. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could have done better in this difficult situation. Perhaps she lacked Sheyan's sharp intuitive ability to see through things.

Uncle Dasi had become suspicious of them lately, so Sheyan and Sanzi dare not leave home for a prolonged period of time. It's not good to make old people worried, but it's not like Sheyan and Sanzi could tell Uncle Dasi about the hardships they faced. So, if Ace Party were to have a meeting in the real world, the others would have to fly to Taipei.

The luxurious Gulfstream business plane slowly landed in Taipei Airport amidst the drizzle. The roar of the plane and the wind from it swamped Sheyan and Sanzi, who were waiting patiently on the wet ground. Three dejected figures then slowly walked down from the plane.

Sheyan walked up to them, hugged them in turn, and slapped them on the shoulders. He used this body language to eliminate the negative emotions in their hearts. However, Sanzi noticed that Sheyan hugged the cold beauty with nice legs for at least fifteen seconds and his hands behind her were not that honest, prompting the beautiful lady to stomp on his feet a few times with her high heels.

To be honest, when the others saw Sanzi there, they were rather surprised. To bring another person to join their circle would mean a few things. It showed that this person was a contestant, and he had gained Sheyan's complete trust.

Contestants were relatively common, but to earn Sheyan's approval and trust was not an easy feat, so they could not help but pay attention to Sanzi closely. They were all quite sharp, especially Zi, who had always been an excellent judge of people. They could see that Sanzi, who often hid a few steps behind Sheyan, was naturally timid, which perplexed them.

Sheyan smiled and said, "Allow me to introduce my younger brother, Sanzi."

Hearing the words "younger brother", both Reef and Zi frowned slightly. They were frankly reluctant to let things like family relationship mix into the affair of the party. It would affect objectivity in decision-making. More importantly, it was not uncommon for a party to collapse from having personal feeling interfere with member selection.

Sheyan apparently noticed their uneasiness, but he waited until they entered the airport lounge before he laughed and said, "Allow me to make another introduction. You can call him…Sanzi, the Chosen. I think he has great potential and should be able to fill the gap in the team.

"A CHOSEN?!" Reef spit out the coffee he happened to be drinking at that moment. "I've only ever heard of Seeded contestants! Do the Chosen really exist?"

Sheyan signaled Sanzi to display to the party his innate ability. Sanzi did as he was asked, but he did utter some dissatisfaction.

"Bro, I hope the next time you introduce me, you should introduce me as the powerful summoner Sanzi, and not Sheyan's brother Sanzi."

Sheyan narrowed his eyes and smiled as he replied, "Sure, but only if you can beat me."

After seeing Sanzi's innate ability, they expressed no objection to Sanzi joining. Although all of them appeared calm on the surface, they were all silently cursing the brothers as crazy in their hearts. Sheyan was crazy in plotting and scheming, while Sanzi simply had crazy good luck.

Sanzi had no objection to Sheyan's proposal. He suddenly remembered something.

"Bro, this ain't right. I've told you all my information, yet you didn't tell me anything about yourself! The only thing I know about your ability is that you can use animals to make mixes.

Zi chimed in.

"Sanzi, you may be strong, but there's no way you can beat Seaman anytime soon."
