Chapter 364 Heroes List
Chapter 364 Heroes List
Chen Xiaomei stood quietly by, listening to their conversation but completely oblivious. She vaguely suspected they were practicing some mysterious technique, but it was too far-fetched and unfamiliar to her. Knowing she wasn't suited to participate in such discussions, she didn't ask any questions, but continued to silently eat her melon seeds. This novel food was intriguing and truly exhilarating to eat.
The atmosphere in the monitoring room was tense and quiet.
"Captain, their individual combat capabilities are very strong!" A soldier stared intently at the surveillance footage, a look of surprise on his face. He excitedly turned to Ren Sheng and said, "Recently, he's been most interested in following the progress of Nangong Jingming and his team. As soon as he sees any signs of fighting, he'll immediately notify Ren Sheng."
"Well, continue to observe their situation and let me know if anything happens." Ren Sheng nodded slightly, looking deeply at the surveillance footage, and spoke calmly. His eyes revealed a strong interest in this team. In his opinion, Nangong Jingming's team was full of mystery and potential, and worthy of his close attention.
"Yes," the soldier replied respectfully. He knew that Ren Sheng cared deeply about this team, so he was always paying close attention to their every move, not daring to slack off even a little.
"Why are you all so powerful?" The man with level five mental power asked, his eyes full of confusion and resentment. He looked at Nangong Jingming and Feng Bolin and couldn't help asking. In this battle, he originally thought that his level five mental power was enough to easily deal with it, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the other party without any chance of fighting back.
"Because we're always fighting!" Feng Bolin said confidently, his back straight. His eyes gleamed with determination. He believed that constant fighting was the secret to their strength. They honed themselves through repeated battles, constantly improving their strength, which allowed them to face any opponent with fearlessness.
"Why aren't you on the Hero List?" The Level 5 Psychic's brow knitted into a knot, his eyes filled with confusion. He looked Nangong Jingming and his group up and down, his tone tinged with doubt. His investigation revealed that these people were incredibly powerful, any one of them would have topped the assessment, yet their names were nowhere to be found on the Hero List. This was truly unusual.
"What Hero List?" Feng Bolin asked, his eyes wide with confusion. He had no memory of this so-called "Hero List"; in their single-minded focus on battle and exploration, they had never heard of such a list.
"It's the potential ranking of the candidates for this assessment." The fifth-level psychic explained, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, as if to say that this was a matter known to everyone, so how could they be so ignorant.
"I don't know, does this thing exist?" Nangong Jingming's team members looked at each other in bewilderment. They had come from Earth to this interstellar world, focusing solely on tackling various challenges, and had never paid attention to such lists.
"Well, I think I know a little bit about it, but our names weren't on it, so I didn't pay attention to it," Zhong Shumei said weakly, standing aside. There was a hint of hesitation on her face. She had originally thought the list had nothing to do with them, so she didn't take it seriously.
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Zhong Shumei, and their eyes seemed to be saying, "Why are you saying it now?"
"You knew, why didn't you tell me?" Feng Bolin frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance in his tone. He felt that if he had known about such a list earlier, he might have been able to get some useful information from it.
"Is this important?" Zhong Shumei blinked and said innocently. In her mind, the ranking was just a bunch of people's own judgments, and it wasn't very valuable, so she didn't think it was necessary to bring it up.
"Forget it. You said it wasn't important, and it seems it wasn't. So, forget it!" Feng Bolin pondered for a moment and felt that Zhong Shumei had a point. They weren't familiar with the people in this interstellar world anyway. Even if they knew the list, what would it matter? They had no idea who was strong and who was weak, let alone who was who.
"Aren't you a little too arrogant?" Seeing that they didn't care about the Hero List at all, the fifth-level psychic suddenly felt that his cognition was challenged. A surge of anger surged in his heart, and he looked at them angrily and said.
"Really?" Nangong Jingming and the others looked bewildered. They really didn't know anyone else, nor did they feel they were arrogant. In their hearts, they were just focused on their own goals and didn't deliberately look down on anyone.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's keep going!" Nangong Jingming looked at the sky and the surroundings, and felt there was no need to dwell on this topic any further. He knew that time was precious to them, and the Zerg were a rare resource. Collecting more and bringing them back would be of great significance to their research and development.
He had also reached an agreement with Chen Zeyu that they would not accept any of the Zerg corpses obtained during this assessment. They only wanted Chen Zeyu to give them a de-cluttering ball. In Nangong Jingming's view, these Zerg corpses were a rare resource, whether used to study their edibility or develop other uses.
"Brother Chen, why do I feel like we'll win easily this time if we follow them?" Number One said with excitement in his eyes, looking at Nangong Jingming and his team with admiration. In his eyes, Nangong Jingming and his team were extremely powerful, and with them leading them, this assessment was a sure thing.
"Winning without doing anything is not a good thing." Chen Zeyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. He had to admit that he felt the same way. From the moment he met Nangong Jingming and the others, he had a vague feeling that this assessment would yield something different.
Zhong Shumei watched her teammates successfully enter the gate one after another, feeling a pang of anxiety within her, like a cat scratching at her. From then on, she always rushed forward during the rest of the journey. Whenever she encountered a smaller Zerg, she wouldn't even bother with a mech, charging directly into the fight with her bare hands. Her desperation was terrifying. Her eyes were filled with determination, and every punch she threw was filled with a thirst for breakthrough.
Hard work pays off. On the fifteenth day of the assessment, Zhong Shumei finally succeeded in entering the realm. At the same time, Su Wenyu also successfully broke through and entered a new realm.
