If they didn't let it go, it would seem like they weren't being generous enough. Public opinion would shift towards the other side.
"Okay, since Head Escort Hai says so, then we won't say anything else. However, it's been a full three joss sticks' worth of time. We've used so many methods to no avail. According to the rules, our escort agency should get 100 points. There's no doubt about that, right?" Qi Mingyuan immediately said.
Boundless Sea lowered his head in silence. He wanted to object, but after making such a big mistake, especially since the other side pretended to be magnanimous and didn't pursue the matter any further, how could he object?
Even Boundless Sea was scared. Zhao Bufan and the others wouldn't touch him either. They could only silently agree.
"That's good." Qi Mingyuan nodded his head in satisfaction. He looked at Lin Yi, Qi Wenhan, and the others and smiled. Even though there were many twists and turns, the result was satisfactory. They had gotten 100 points, which far exceeded their expectations.
Everyone thought that this farce had come to an end. Just as they were about to move on to the next agency, Lin Yi suddenly said, "Everyone, please wait a moment. Isn't there a special challenge segment? I want to try it out. Is there anyone who wants to challenge me? If there is, I'll put the item back where it was. "
Everyone's eyes lit up. Right, this was the most important segment of this round. Taking out 100 points as a bet, there was a 200 point difference between entering and leaving!
However, excitement was just excitement. If they couldn't find the item after so much effort, it was clear how difficult it was. How could a normal escort agency have the confidence to challenge him?
"I'll go!" Boundless Sea suddenly shouted. He had just suffered such a huge loss. He was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to get back at them. Who would have thought that this kid would actually deliver the opportunity to him!
"Okay." Lin Yi smiled calmly. He turned around and walked to area 30. He hid the item again, walked out, and made an inviting gesture to Boundless Sea. "Please."
"Hmph. Kid, you don't think that your little trick is so brilliant that no one can break it, do you? Just now, I deliberately gave you a taste of the sweetness. My Four Seas Escort Agency will definitely get this one hundred points! " Boundless Sea grinned sinisterly. He turned his head and ordered the Four Seas Escort Agency's assistant: "Go call Lai Jizi over!"
The crowd went into an uproar. Zhao Bufan and the others suddenly realized that Boundless Sea had a backup plan. No wonder he lowered his head. It wasn't like him at all.
"Laze around for a while?" Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan, father and son, asked. His expression immediately changed.
"What's wrong? Is this person very powerful? "Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Uh, I can't say that he's powerful. His strength is just so-so. However, he's an extraordinary person. It's said that he's very good at breaking all kinds of formations. He used to wander around primitive places like Lufeng Forest. I didn't expect him to seek refuge with the Four Seas Escort Agency!" Qi Wenhan explained.
"Good at breaking formations?" Lin Yi was slightly taken aback and became even more puzzled. "What does this have to do with the competition?"
"Eh? Brother Ling, didn't you use a formation to hide the delivery? "Qi Wenhan couldn't help but lower his voice. He was thinking the same thing as Boundless Sea and the others. He felt that Lin Yi must have set up a small camouflage to hide the delivery, which was why so many people didn't see it …
"Who said that?" Lin Yi glanced at him and immediately laughed.
At this moment. In the distance, a sloppy uncle came. From head to toe, his clothes were dirty and tattered. He also had a pungent body odor. He looked like an old beggar. This person was the subordinate of the Four Seas Escort Agency, Lai Jizi.
After hearing Boundless Sea's explanation, Lai Jizi bared his yellow teeth. He looked up and down at Lin Yi and said disdainfully, "These days, there aren't many people who know how to use formations. Even if they do, it's just a small trick. It's not worth mentioning. It's fine to fool amateurs, but for an expert like me, I can see the problem with one glance. Uncle Sea, just you wait."
After saying this, Lai Jizi curled his lips and strode into area 30. Lin Yi looked at this guy and couldn't help but laugh. "This is the strange person you guys were talking about?"
"Strange people have their own strange appearances. You don't even know this? Have you really not seen the world or what? Are you a frog at the bottom of a well?" Boundless Sea sneered after hearing this.
"Who's the frog at the bottom of a well? We'll know soon enough." Lin Yi smiled faintly. He couldn't be bothered to argue.
"Haha, stubborn duck!" Boundless Sea didn't waste any more words. He waited outside for Lai Jizi's good news. He thought it would be a piece of cake, but he didn't think that he would wait for two incense sticks' worth of time!
"Time's up. Chief Sea, can you invite your Master Lai out?" Qi Mingyuan immediately said. The time limit for the challenge was two incense sticks' worth of time.
"Go and call him out!" Boundless Sea's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what was going on inside, but he could only do as he was told. However, when he saw Lai Jizi come out empty-handed, his face immediately turned ashen. He didn't find it again?!
"Uncle Sea, this … you can't blame me for this … Apart from the large illusion formation outside … there really isn't any formation inside … there isn't any formation at all …" Lai Jizi spread his hands helplessly.
The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone looked at Lin Yi strangely. He couldn't find it anywhere. Now, even a formation could be ruled out. How did this guy hide the dart? Could it be that he was a professional in this field?
"Haha, thank you for the 100 points, Chief Sea. As a senior in the Four Seas Escort Agency, you spared no effort to support our Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's junior. You really are an elder. We will gladly accept the 100 points!" Qi Mingyuan said happily.
Boundless Sea's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but it was too late to regret.
They had only obtained 70 points in this round. In the end, they lost a whole 100 points. Not only did they not get a single point in the fourth round, they lost 30 points. This wasn't just a big loss, it was a loss of blood!
In comparison, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency had won this round. They had earned a whole 200 points, which was more than the total points of most escort agencies. It was enough to make people go crazy with jealousy.
"Next one." Boundless Sea didn't even want to look at Qi Mingyuan and the others. He turned his head and was about to go to the next house. At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and shouted, "You hid it so well. Why don't you give our Dragon Boat Escort Agency a chance and let us try too?"
The crowd was in an uproar. The person who spoke was the Dragon Boat Escort Agency's chief escort, Long Kuiba!
