"Hey, hey, hey, I have no ill intentions towards you, don't think about killing me!" While speaking seemingly innocent words, the youth actually moved closer to Li Changan.
Li Changan frowned and said, "Wen Anran, 19 years old, born in..."
Before Li Changan could finish speaking, Wen Anran reported his background, "Born in Jiucheng, the northernmost city of East Continent, 1.71 meters tall, weighing 53 kg. Hobbies are barbecue and shopping. Extremely strong physical fitness, has single-handedly killed a hunting team that coveted his spoils."
"The information they gave you is unreliable. For example, they didn't include anything about my superpowers, right? My superpower is [Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune] from the Mystery Series. Although I can't know what dangers are coming, it's the most suitable for alliances."
Li Changan was eating his now cold food with chopsticks, as if the previous conversation had never happened.
"How cold." Wen Anran gnawed on a lamb leg regretfully.
"You mean I'm the safest among these people. Hearing this doesn't make one happy." Li Changan tilted his head slightly and a cold smile appeared.
Wen Anran was startled for a moment, then continued smiling, "How strange. Your behavior doesn't match your disguise. A mere low-level superhuman, yet facing me you have repeatedly shown dominance and undisguised killing intent. Your character setting will collapse."
"Isn't a character setting made to collapse?" Li Changan put down his chopsticks. The table of food had been finished. There was no reason to stay here anymore.
But before leaving...
Li Changan walked to a tall, slender youth in the corner and lowered his voice.
"Friend, how about the info on the top three?"
"The full version, I'm the only one selling it on the market."
"You see that youth over there, Wen Anran ranked third, his superpowers are known only to me."
"You saw me chatting with him just now, didn't you?"
A few minutes later, after tapping their ID cards, 500,000 was transferred to Li Changan's account. Li Changan was quite satisfied. After all, he didn't have much talent for business. Being able to sell at the price he had hoped for initially was not bad.
Returning to the previous table, Li Changan put down several stacks of cash. "I sold your info for 100,000. We'll split it fifty-fifty. This is your share."
"Then we're allied now!" Wen Anran eagerly took the money. Seeing Li Changan leave without a word, he reluctantly spit out the bone in his mouth.
"Selling my information right in front of me, this brat is too nasty. Rather than his character collapsing, it was more like our conversation was just an act, deliberately done to make me take notice of him."
"But... my information only sold for 100,000? That's not scientific."
Back in his room, Li Changan transferred the cash in his card to Jiang Shuibu's account.
Within minutes, Jiang Shuibu's call came as expected.
"Hey, you brat didn't go killing again, did you?"
Li Changan half-lay by the bedside and laughed. "Of course not, this is money I earned from selling stuff."
"Bullshit. When you were helping me, you couldn't even sell a drink. Luo City is too far, I can't get there right away. Don't go killing again. I'm afraid I won't make it in time."
Long used to Jiang Shuibu's nagging, Li Changan kept nodding. "Alright, don't worry. I'm very well-behaved. Even if I do kill, I'll clean up thoroughly."
He could clearly hear Jiang Shuibu sigh over the phone. "...So you did go killing again. Forget it, how long will it take to get out this time? I'll go pick you up in advance."
After thinking for a moment, Li Changan continued, "There are a lot more experts this time, I've already seen four A-levels since getting in. Unless the Trials Facility is too big, I should be able to get out in a month or so, two months at most."
"That's not bad either. I'll take the girl you left with me to see the world in the meantime." Jiang Shuibu never doubted Li Changan's judgement. If he said two months max, then it definitely wouldn't be a day longer.
"Right!" Speaking of which, Li Changan sat up straight. "Was it Little Five or Little Six? How is she?"
"You left the girl with me, at least remember her name! But she's not bad, maybe really talented. She picked up what I taught very quickly, just one day and she can make fried egg and rice already."
For a moment, Li Changan didn't know whether to marvel or retort. "Alright, teach her something else if you have time. Make sure she eats more, being too thin is no good. That bronze sparrow..."
"I have it with me, don't worry." Jiang Shuibu tacitly replied.
After some idle chatter, Li Changan hung up. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, he let the sunlight from outside shine on him.
There were no real alliances in the Trials Facility. So-called alliances still operated independently. The two could exchange information and supplies when they met, but would not collaborate, even if one side was on the verge of death. The best outcome would be a quick end.
Some people had thought of gathering a large group of subordinates, heavily injuring other participants, then finishing them off themselves for points.
But such a victory would give a Baptism equivalent to taking a bath - it would only make the body a little cleaner and had no other use. Also, it would incur the unanimous siege of all participants.
Once someone discovered participants banding together, the message would immediately spread to unite everyone in attack. Injured participants in such battles would also not be taken advantage of and killed. They would have a brief recovery period.
These were rules established by the first few winners of the Trials Facility, even made public. A certain master who emerged from the Trials Facility and was now in the Empire's upper echelons also put out the message:
"Is the force behind you greater than this old man's fist?"
So alliances in the Trials Facility today were just a formality. There would only be one winner. Who would truly want to prepare the bridal clothes for others?
Li Changan would.
He hoped for an invincible prodigy to sweep through the Trials Facility, as long as he himself could survive.
The top three were considered to have high win rates because there was the most information available about them. There was too little known about the others, so they were thought to be weak.
So there was no need to spend time investigating the rest. Moreover, with over a hundred participants, it was impossible for Li Changan to investigate each one.
True understanding came from speculation and confirmation between life and death struggles. Other kinds of understanding were just armchair strategy.
There were four hours until the next bell. The bell signified the start of the trials.
Killing intent enveloped the entire Trials Facility. Pressure would truly explode in the final moments. Some would go mad, some insane.

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet."
