Yang Yu crossed his arms and replied casually, "I'm considering the strategy for the next game."
But Carlos smiled and said, "Huh? I never thought that big brother would consider this kind of question.
In my opinion, Big Brother is very strong. All the contestants here are no match for you.
Big brother, you can be said to be a strong contender for victory in the Dragon God Conference."
"That's not necessarily true. There are many people who are stronger than me." Yang Yu shook his head.
"How modest." Carlos struggled to open the candy jar, took out a green candy, and handed it to Yang Yu. "I rarely treat people to candy. Big brother is special, so I'll treat you this time."
Seeing Carlos handing over the candy with a smile on her face, Yang Yu did not take it, but refused:
“I don’t really like sweets.
Besides, eating from a little girl's hand was somewhat inappropriate.
If anyone wants to give, it should be me who gives it to you."
As he spoke, Yang Yu took out a candy box full of candy from the system and handed it to Carlos.
But Carlos opened her arms happily, took the candy box from Yang Yu, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, brother.
However, my grandma told me that eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay.
I accepted my brother's candy out of kindness and will eat it slowly in the future."
Yang Yu waved his hand, indicating that he was happy. "Little sister, you look very strong. Are you the only one attending this Dragon God Conference?"
But Carlos simply answered: "Yeah. My family members are busy, so I have to come alone.
But don't worry, I'm an adult. I can handle this little thing. I'm not bragging."
"very impressive."
Yang Yu praised, and then started chatting casually with Carlos.
Iyas and Bai Jin, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh that Yang Yu could still remain so calm even though such an attack had just happened not long ago.
If it were them, they might have revealed their true colors long ago.
Yang Yu and Carlos asked and answered each other until the staff called Carlos's number. Carlos stood up reluctantly and said goodbye to Yang Yu.
"My elder brother is very friendly. It's almost time for me to perform.
I am looking forward to meeting my big brother in the official competition.
There will only be one winner in the end, and I will not show mercy."
"I won't show mercy either."
Yang Yu bid farewell to Carlos with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that no one who could become a disciple of the Curse Sect was simple.
Every time he performs such a good acting job, he feels like he will win an Oscar.
Watching Carlos go away, an old man with long beard and white hair sat down next to Yang Yu at some point.
The old man was surrounded by several disciples wearing grey hats with gold rims.
Standing at the front was a young girl with skin as smooth as plastic film. Facing outsiders, she was a little reserved and her eyes drooped down in helplessness.
Without waiting for Yang Yu to ask, the old man slowly opened his mouth and introduced himself:
"My name is Ikaro Flo. I am the vice leader of the former S-rank adventure group [Collecting Corpses into Coffins].
When they get old and can no longer work, they leave the work to the young people.
Mr. Yang Yu, the leader of the new S-class adventure group, can we chat for a while? "
"What do you want to talk about?" Yang Yu answered without thinking.
“There are so many things I want to talk about. You and I are both from the Republic of Terun.
We may see each other again, so I came to say hello to you." Ikaro Flo was extremely kind.
"It's unfortunate. I still have a lot of things to do, so I may not return to the Teren Republic for the time being."
"That doesn't matter."
Ikaro Flo laughed and gently stroked his white beard that drooped like a waterfall.
“You didn’t inherit the title from anyone, but instead established your own S-rank adventure group. Your strength is evident.
Knowing what kind of person you are will allow me to make decisions with confidence when we work together in the future.
S-level adventure groups sometimes stick together for warmth."
"What do you want to say? I have not been an adventurer for long. I don't know the rules very well. I can't understand your hidden meaning."
Ikaro Flo stroked his long white beard repeatedly, "To make a long story short, we are facing a huge crisis.
You were aware that we occupied an underground labyrinth, right?"
Yang Yu nodded.
Ikaro Flo began to explain the reason for coming to see Yang Yu:
“To be honest, [Collecting Corpses and Putting Them into Coffins] are actually a group of gravekeepers.
Recently, our tomb has become a little difficult to protect.
Perhaps, under the underground maze we are guarding, a new underground maze will soon be born.
That shouldn't be an underground maze that ordinary people can conquer, so.
If possible, when the maze is actually created, I hope you will join us in conquering it."
Is there such a good thing
Yang Yu's first reaction was doubt, "There should be someone more suitable than us to conquer that underground maze, right?"
Icarus Fro explained: "If possible, I hope others will only conquer the underground maze that caused the problem, and leave the maze we occupy alone.
Other adventure groups might be greedy and attack our underground maze.
You are the best fit.”
"Aren't you afraid that we will do the same thing?" Yang Yu asked.
"Of course I'm afraid you'll do the same thing.
But I believe that a new S-level adventure group like yours will definitely abide by its promise.
After all, you still have to make a living in this world.
New S-class adventure team, people have high expectations for you.
This really helped us a lot." Ikaro Flo said with a smile.
"In short, if I don't follow the rules and conquer the underground labyrinth you occupy, it won't be easy to regain my good reputation in the future."
“At the very least, you’ll have to spend much longer than you do now to build your profile and run around.
But if you use this incident to make your image of abiding by the rules deeply rooted in people's hearts, your future path will be easier."
Yang Yu understood Icaro Flo's thoughts. Other S-class adventure teams had already become experienced. Even if they deliberately made a "mistake" in something, with their current connections, they could get away with it by just fooling around. Being petty would only make them petty-minded.
But Yang Yu and his friends are different. Their network of contacts is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
As long as there is a tiny stain on this piece of white paper, many people will stay away from them from the beginning and look at them with tinted glasses.
It is extremely difficult to correct those people's views.
On the contrary, if you can do this well, as Icarus Flo said, making friends with others will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"I somewhat understand your idea, but I can't agree to it now." Yang Yu said.
"That doesn't matter. Ask the magician in your team to record the characteristics of my magic power. I will be able to inform you if there is any situation in the future."
As he spoke, Ikaro Flo stretched out his skinny hand.
