Beauty and the Bodyguard

Jiang Shenzi was indeed watching Lin Yi's every move.

Although it was not to the point that he would come to snatch people whenever Lin Yi recruited someone, as just now, this possibility was not impossible.

However, now that Jiang Shenzi had recruited Su Wulin, even if he wanted to target Lin Yi next time, he probably wouldn't have the capital.

After all, recruiting these people, the quota for the main competition is the biggest bargaining chip. Jiang Shenzi's team is already full, and it is impossible to replace Li Lanling, right?

Xu Hongyao asked: "Who are you going to find next?"

"Xu Longyin, Xia Chun."

Without Jiang Shenzi's deliberate targeting, Lin Yi's recruitment was quite smooth, and the two had basically no hesitation and decisively chose to join.

There was no other reason. Although these two people had good strength and were both on the Earthly Evil Ranking, their strength was not as outstanding as Luo Xianwang after all, nor like Su Wulin, who could give people huge imagination space.

In terms of personal strength alone, it is not surprising that these two people entered the main competition of the Zenith Competition, but neither of them could take the lead.

To put it bluntly, the two of them have a certain competitiveness, but it is really hard to say how popular they are.

Tiangang bosses all have their own fixed teams, and the possibility of extending an olive branch to them at this time is very small.

There are only a few companies left that may recruit them.

There are too many monks and too little porridge.

Once you miss Lin Yi's village, you may not be able to meet that store again in the future.

Lin Yi looked at the two people in front of him, and the two were also looking at him at the same time.

"Since everyone has decided to form a team, we have to decide the next order of appearance."

The person who broke the silence was bloated and burly, with a magnificent aura, and a signature curly big back hair, and a faint dragon roar rose between his breaths.

This person is Xu Longyin, ranked seventh on the Earthly Evil List.

The other person is thin and inconspicuous in the crowd, but his eyes are extremely deep. Whenever you look at him, you always feel like you are falling into the abyss.

This person is Xia Chun, ranked fifteenth on the Earthly Evil List.

Xia Chun didn't say anything, but from his expression, it was obvious that he meant the same thing.

Before Lin Yi spoke, Xu Hongyao, who was eating ice cream, said first: "There's nothing to discuss about this. Lin Yi is the core of the team. According to convention, he is the last one to appear. As for who is first and who is second, it depends on the situation."

There is no strict ranking limit for a group of three.

According to the rules of the Zenith Competition, the ranking of the appearance can be adjusted at will in each round, including targeted adjustments during the competition, which is completely possible.

However, under normal circumstances, the core combat power is ranked last.

After all, the core combat power needs to be the bottom line for the whole team.

If it is ranked first, it will be deliberately consumed by others, and secondly, it will inevitably be targeted by the opponent in the future.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances and some radical tactics are taken, it has long become an unwritten convention that the core combat power is ranked last.

It is also for this reason that whether it is the last to appear is also a key sign to see whether this person is the core of the team.

Even if they achieve the same results, the core of the team and the ordinary players are two completely different things.

Since the team in front of us is formed by Lin Yi and the quota is also designated for Lin Yi, then it is reasonable that the core of the team is undoubtedly Lin Yi.

There is no other way.

Xu Longyin played with the rosary in his hand and said disapprovingly: "That's not the way it is said. Since we are in a team together, our common goal is to go further in the main competition. In my opinion, the only criterion for determining the ranking is to see how to maximize our overall combat power."

Xu Hongyao pointed out: "Are you going to take over the magpie's nest?"

"Don't say it so harshly, I am also doing this for everyone's good."

Xu Longyin said fearlessly: "Brother Lin is the first time to participate in the A-level competition with the title of rookie king. The pressure must be great. At this time, if If you give him a bigger burden, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. "

"What if he gets killed instantly? It's not only embarrassing, but I can't even imagine what people will say about him later."

"Instead of that, it's better to go light. Not only will you have more room to play, but even if you lose in the end, at least you can still end up with something remarkable. It's the best of both worlds."

Xu Hongyao sneered: "As expected of a veteran master on the Earthly Evil List, you really know how to talk."

The other party said so much, but in the end it all came down to one sentence: Lin Yi gave up his position as the core of the team.

Lin Yi didn't get angry on the spot as the other party expected, and turned to look at Xia Chun on the side: "Senior Xia, do you have the same idea?"

Xia Chun didn't say anything.

Not saying anything means acquiescence.

"I understand."

Lin Yi didn't hesitate. He had thought about things like taking over the magpie's nest.

After all, this group of people is arrogant and conceited. As a freshman, even if he has the title of Rookie King, he has no weight in their eyes. If he is willing to help him, it would be weird.

Seeing this, Xu Longyin smiled and said, "Xiaodi Lin has this self-knowledge, which is rare and precious. After the experience of this Zenith Competition, he may really show his talents in the next Class A Competition. The future is promising."

Obviously, in his eyes, the core position of the team has fallen into his hands, and no one can take it away.

As for Xia Chun, although his strength is not bad, the gap between them in the ranking of the Earthly Evil List has already explained everything. Even if he jumps out to compete with him, he is confident enough to suppress him.

Lin Yi said with a strange look in his eyes: "Senior Xu may have misunderstood. I don't mean to give up the core position. I agree with what you said. It is really precious for people to know themselves."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Longyin's face immediately sank.

Xu Hongyao held his forehead speechlessly: "Don't you understand this? There are more than two of you who want to get a place in the main competition. If you are too arrogant, I, your junior, can kick you away and find someone else."

Xu Longyin choked for a moment.

Xia Chun's expression on the other side was also quite subtle.

This is a threat laid on the table, and the key is that it is really effective!

If Lin Yi gets rid of them, it is not difficult to find two more people. After all, there are many masters looking forward to showing up at the Zenith Competition. As long as they perform well, they can immediately soar to the sky.

The only loss for Lin Yi is that the new players may not be as strong as them, that's all.

But it's different for the two of them.

Once they miss this opportunity, they will most likely miss the Zenith Tournament.

Even if they find a substitute, it will be difficult for them to get the so-called core position of the team. After all, the others are all experienced veterans, and they can't afford to jump up and down like this.
