However, even though that was the case, Meng Tong, the owner of cave No. 15 at the foot of the mountain, was indeed in the most advantageous position in the following Challenge Round. There was no doubt about this. Other than him, no one else could possibly obtain the theoretical full score of 119 points. It would only be lower than this, no higher.
This was an innate advantage that no amount of effort could change.
From this point of view, when Lin Yi took the first cave from him and gave him the worst cave, number fifteen, on his first day at the welcome Pavilion, Lin Yi did him a favor in some sense. After all, no one would have thought that the challenge Round would have such a rule.
In the face of Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai’s complaints and confusion, the miserable senior brother analyzed,””In fact, the intention of the rules of the challenge is very obvious. They want to encourage newcomers to fight with others as much as possible. Only then can they get as many points as possible. This way, they can see the potential and shortcomings of each newcomer to the greatest extent. The points reflected will also have value as a reference.
“That’s right. If you only pursue a higher ranking, it’s useless even if you succeed in the challenge. After getting fifteen points, you can only be like Xiao ran, who can’t take the initiative to challenge and can only respond to the challenge. Instead, it’s better to start from the lower ranks and challenge the higher ranks one by one. That way, you’ll get more points. ” Lin Yi agreed.
Hearing this, Qiao hongcai suddenly realized something and said,””In that case, people like us who are in a lower ranking cave dwelling from the beginning have an advantage?”
He was in cave number thirteen at the foot of the mountain. Other than Lin Yi in cave number fourteen and Meng Tong in cave number fifteen, he had an advantage over the other GreenCloud Pavilion newbies.
“That’s right. As long as you challenge the abodes one by one, you should have a good chance of getting a lot of points with your current strength.” Lin Yi said with a nod.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that a lousy abode like ours would have such a benefit. It seems that the last month was not in vain!” Qiao hongcai couldn’t help but smile.
For a newbie who lacked spiritual jades, the quality of a cave was very important, especially for someone like Qiao hongcai who didn’t have outstanding strength at the start. If it weren’t for Lin Yi’s help, he wouldn’t have been able to get to where he was today, only a thin line away from Foundation. He would only be stuck at the bottom of the newbie level, and without other good fortune, he might never have a future in his life.
However, with Qiao hongcai’s current strength, even if he hadn’t reached the foundation establishment stage yet, he could still be ranked in the top five among all the new disciples of the GreenCloud Pavilion. In addition, he had an extremely favorable starting position, so he had a good chance of earning a lot of points after setting up a challenge plan.
On the other hand, although Xiao ran’s strength was above Qiao hongcai ‘s, he was in the most awkward position of cave abode No. 1 at the foot of the mountain. If there was no major turning point, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything.
Thinking of Xiao ran’s embarrassing situation, everyone didn’t know what to say. When Lin Yi gave him the cave number one, he wanted to help his own people, and Xiao ran did benefit a lot in the past month.
From what Lin Yi could see, other than the four of them who were already in the Foundation Stage, Xiao ran was one of the few who was the closest to the Foundation Stage. He had a strong foundation as well, no weaker than the elites from the ascending Sky Pavilion and the mysterious Pavilion. Once he reached the Foundation Stage, even Meng Tong, who was in the Foundation Stage earlier than him, might not be his match.
However, no one would have thought that Lin Yi’s kind decision would put Xiao ran in such an awkward situation.
Of course, this wasn’t Lin Yi’s fault. Even Xiao ran, the person involved, only felt gratitude towards Lin Yi. He didn’t have any resentment towards Lin Yi for doing something bad with good intentions. It could only be said that fate made a fool out of Lin Yi. This situation was completely unexpected.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment before suggesting,”How about this? Xiao ran, I’ll exchange cave abodes with you. This way, you’ll be cave number fourteen at the foot of the mountain. You’ll be in a more advantageous position like Hong Cai, so it’ll be easier for you to fight for challenge points.”
As soon as he said that, the miserable senior brother and the others were shocked, especially Xiao ran.
“You can ‘t, boss Lin Yi. It’s rare for you to get so many points, and it’s a great opportunity to leave a deep impression on the three pavilions” higher-ups, paving the way for your future development. If you give up this opportunity for me, I can’t take it!” Xiao ran quickly refused after he came to his senses.
Lin Yi had gotten full marks for the God-level appearance in the previous two segments-if he could maintain this pace, he’d be the number one newbie in the GreenCloud Pavilion, even if the ascending Sky Pavilion and the mysterious Pavilion were included.
In the future, if he were to enter the GreenCloud Pavilion with such qualifications, he would definitely be able to obtain the appreciation of the upper echelons. In the future, it would definitely be a cinch for him to soar into the sky!
However, if he were to exchange cave abodes with Xiao ran now and jump into cave number one at the foot of the mountain on his own initiative, it would be very difficult for him to perform well in the following challenge rounds. If no other newcomers challenged him, it would be useless no matter how strong he was. He could only watch as his competitor, Meng Tong, plundered points without restraint, while he himself could do nothing.
Don’t forget that Lin Yi had accumulated a lot of advantages in the first two, but Meng Tong had the help of Meng jueguang and the others, so his performance wasn’t too bad. Lin Yi only pulled ahead by thirty-three points.
In this round of the challenge, the theoretical full score was 119 points. Once Lin Yi fell into the deep pit of cave number one, he would almost certainly be overtaken by Meng Tong. There might even be a big gap between them.
This way, his previous two God-level perfect scores would all be for naught.
After all, the higher-ups only looked at the final points and not the performance in each segment. By then, the first place of the pavilion would probably be Meng Tong, and Lin Yi would only be second at most. If that happened, Xiao ran would become a sinner of the ages!
And so, although Lin Yi’s suggestion touched him, he would never agree to it!
“That’s true. Junior Brother Lin, no matter how loyal you are, you have to consider the occasion. Although you’ve set Junior Brother Xiao free, the biggest beneficiary is actually Meng Tong. You have to consider this carefully.” The miserable senior brother persuaded.
