Special selection, nothing more than observing the brains and strength of these black-robed figures.
Possessing strength without brains greatly diminishes their importance.
"Do you think that little fellow did it on purpose?"
A questioning voice echoed from a dark space.
The voice was somewhat aged, and if Lin Feng were present, he would have been astonished.
Because this sentence was spoken in Chinese.
Before long, another voice responded from the dark space.
"If it wasn't on purpose, then it proves this kid is brainless."
"Although brainless people are easy to control, our organization doesn't want such individuals."
"But if it was intentional, then what's his purpose? To attract our attention?"
The words carried contemplation and a hint of probing.
As soon as the voice faded, the aged voice spoke again.
"In my opinion, he is the latter."
"After all, such strength cannot be possessed by someone with a simple mind."
A brief silence fell upon the dark space.
"Let's wait and see. I've already sent people to investigate all his information to see if there are any omissions or secrets..."
"Hmm, let's wait and see..."
The conversation ended, and the dark space returned to silence...
On the mission planet, Lin Feng was unaware of their conversation.
He hadn't kicked those people mindlessly; Lin Feng had his own thoughts and plans.
Kicking away two members of the auxiliary teams undeniably gave everyone a rough assessment of Lin Feng's strength.
However, this assessment had no impact on Lin Feng; kicking them required little effort.
These two kicks were also meant for the First Sequence to see.
The selection period was too long, and Lin Feng wanted a shortcut.
Given Shan Hai's personality, these two kicks wouldn't seem out of place.
He had initially expected that after these two kicks, at least a First Sequence boss would appear to put on a show.
After all, with his strength, he should have been highly sought after by any First Sequence organization.
But things weren't as simple as Lin Feng had imagined.
Those bosses were more cautious than Lin Feng had anticipated, which was not good news for him.
However, judging by Aaron's words, his objective had been partially achieved.
Kicking two auxiliary team members had indeed attracted the attention of the First Sequence bosses.
So, what was their intention in allowing him to continue participating in the selection?
Lin Feng admitted he couldn't quite figure it out yet.
He would set this aside for now and address another issue.
On this planet, almost ninety-five percent of those selling goods were members of auxiliary teams.
But when he clashed with the Star Management team just now, not a single one came to help. What was that all about?
Lin Feng's gaze swept across the small city.
The city had returned to its previous bustle, and the black-robed figures began to choose their goods.
However, from time to time, some would furtively steal glances at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng paid no mind to these gazes.
"Good heavens, to cause trouble here and get away with it, and still be allowed to participate in the selection, you're probably the first..."
Beside her stall, Agreia's expression was unspeakably strange, her eyes filled with apprehension.
This Shan Hai was too peculiar; his combat power was utterly abnormal.
"Has there been trouble here before?" Lin Feng asked, following her words as he pondered.
"Of course."
"Including you, there have been three in total."
"However, the first two weren't as lucky as you. One was killed on the spot by the Star Management team, and the other, although not killed, lost their eligibility for selection."
"I'm very curious why the First Sequence big shots let you off..."
Agreia's large eyes scanned him from head to toe like a scanner, as if trying to see through Lin Feng.
Lin Feng calmly glanced at her.
Don't be curious, I'm damn curious too!
"You're also a member of an auxiliary team."
"When I clashed with the Star Management team just now, why didn't you guys step in?" Lin Feng posed another question.
Agreia's eyes rolled.
"Want to know? How about a C-rank mission?"
Lin Feng frowned. "This costs money?"
Agreia chuckled. "What are you saying? I'm an information broker, after all. Where would I get free information for you?"
Lin Feng let out a cold laugh and turned to look at Ophelia, too lazy to deal with Agreia.
"Ophelia, tell me what's going on."
Ophelia stood there, dazed.
Lin Feng frowned and nudged her.
"Snap out of it, what are you doing!"
"Ah? Oh! What?"
Ophelia seemed as if she had just woken up, looking at Lin Feng with some apprehension.
"...I'm asking you, why didn't the stall owners, who are auxiliary team members, step in when I clashed with the Star Management team."
"Oh, you mean that." Ophelia snapped back to attention, relieved. She had thought Lin Feng hadn't kicked enough and wanted to kick her too.
"It's very simple. The relationships among members of auxiliary teams are generally not that close."
"Just like our Gold and Silver Tree, we all belong to the Gold and Silver Tree, but it's impossible for everyone to be good friends, right?"
"Your two kicks just now... I think no one would have stepped out unless they had a life-and-death bond with Hans..."
Mentioning the kicks from earlier, Ophelia still seemed a little shaken, looking at Lin Feng as if he were a great terror, patting her chest.
"Is that so... Meaning, the members within the auxiliary teams don't really stick together for warmth, right?"
"Yes, you can consider it an auxiliary sequence sandwiched between the First and Second Sequences."
Hearing Ophelia's explanation, Lin Feng understood.
No wonder those people were unwilling to intervene.
If it were Lin Feng in that situation, even if he had the ability to stop it, he wouldn't have intervened.
After all, there was no benefit to be gained, was there?
With that understood, Lin Feng felt a bit bored.
Since he didn't know what the First Sequence members were up to, or why they were still letting Shan Hai participate in the competition, he would just take it one step at a time.
They couldn't see through Lin Feng's disguise, except for the one beside him.
However, this exception could no longer reveal any information about him.
Ophelia stroked the goosebumps on her arm.
"You, why are you looking at me?"
Her reaction was like a startled rabbit. Was she afraid he'd kick her?
Did he seem like such an irritable person?
"Didn't you say the selection starts tomorrow? So, where are we resting tonight?"
"Tell me, I want to go rest!"
There was clearly nothing for Lin Feng here anymore. The farce was over, and he couldn't be bothered to stay.
What else would he do? Should he set up a stall with these slightly dim-witted Outer-Realm twins?
