"No matter how many points you have, once your number tag is taken away, everything will be in vain. I see. No wonder you need to form an alliance."
After listening to Mia's explanation, Kaede Sato could not help but feel shocked and troubled by the harsh rules of the competition. At the same time, he also understood why Mia needed to form an alliance.
In the second stage of the competition, it would be very difficult to pass it by relying on one's strength alone. The reason for this was the rule that once one's number tag was taken away, one would be out of the competition.
Kaede Sato could already imagine that in the next stage of the competition, the weak would spontaneously choose to form an alliance to protect themselves, while the strong solo players would be at a disadvantage in this competition. After all, two fists are no match for four hands.
Once surrounded, even a strong solo player like Kaede Sato would be out of the competition. This was because the point was not to defeat him, but to take away his number tag.
This was especially true in the early stages of the competition. A strong solo player like Kaede Sato only had one Wisp in his hand. His overall strength could be said to be greatly reduced, and the chances of him being eliminated by a group attack were also greatly increased.
Moreover, killing each other was prohibited in the competition. Once discovered, it was the same as being out of the competition.
This way, the fear of the weak would be greatly reduced. After all, they did not have to die. Instead of waiting to be eliminated by the strong, they might as well band together and eliminate a small number of the strong first before engaging in internal strife.
This was human nature. In the face of such a situation, any normal person would choose to do so.
If the few strong players did not want to be eliminated by the weak, what could they do? The best way was naturally to band together and eliminate the weak first before engaging in internal strife.
However, the biggest difference between the strong and the weak was that they were generally arrogant and had a strong ego. It was much more difficult for them to band together than for the weak to band together.
If Kaede Sato's guess was correct, most of the strong players in this competition were either the second generation of the rich or the direct subordinates of the leaders of various factions.
These people's personalities were basically the same as Marloys and Xing. Although they were strong and had normal IQ, their EQ was much worse than those Rocket members who had worked their way up step by step.
When Kaede Sato thought of having these people band together, there was only one word that came to his mind: "Impossible."
"If my guess isn't wrong, you are a direct subordinate of Madam Na Zi. Then, this time, Madam Na Zi definitely didn't send you as a direct subordinate to participate in the Newcomer Competition. Why didn't you find those people to form an alliance with? Aren't they more trustworthy than an outsider like me? "
Kaede Sato looked at the pleading expression on Mia's pretty face. He thought for a moment and then asked her with a serious face.
"You probably don't know this, but I awakened my superpower a year ago. At that time, I was just a street thug in Jinhuang City. My talent for superpower was very poor. Those who were more talented than me and came from a higher background than me, how could they possibly think highly of me?"
Hearing Kaede Sato's question, Mia's pretty face suddenly turned gloomy. She lowered her head and lowered her eyelids, looking a little disappointed as she explained.
Although Mia was lucky enough to awaken her superpower, and because of that, her life had changed a lot. However, she found that her life was not as happy as before.
Without comparison, there would be no harm. That was a very true saying.
Mia's background and her superpower talent put her in a very awkward position among Na Zi's bodyguards. She was often looked down upon and bullied by her colleagues.
Therefore, when Mia found out about the rules of the competition from Na Zi, she did not even think about joining forces with her colleagues to complete the second stage of the competition.
She did not even think about joining the direct subordinates of the other rich second generations and faction bosses. Compared to Kaede Sato, who had joined the Rocket Rocket less than two months ago, she knew better what kind of people these people were.
The chances of her joining forces with these people were almost zero. Unless she was really strong enough to suppress these rich second generations and direct subordinates, the problem of her background alone was enough to shut her out.
In general, people like Mia and Kaede Sato who joined the Rocket halfway, even if they were very strong, were not in the same circle as the direct subordinates of the other rich second generations and faction bosses like Xing and Marlos.
That was how society and organizations worked. The higher the level, the stricter the hierarchy. In order to join, one must at least have the strength of a Heavenly King.
That was why the quick-witted Mia decided to form an alliance with Kaede Sato. The reason was that both of them were civilian trainers who joined the Rocket halfway, so they were in the same boat.
Most importantly, Mia had her eyes on Kaede Sato's strength. She believed that as long as she joined forces with Kaede Sato, she would have a high chance of passing the second stage of the competition.
"I see. I understand. I agree to form an alliance with you. Let's have a pleasant cooperation, Miss Mia."
After listening to Mia's explanation, Kaede Sato immediately understood what kind of situation Mia was in. He nodded at Mia and extended his hand forward with a smile on his face.
"I knew you'd agree to form an alliance with me. Let's have a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Sato."
When Mia heard Kaede Sato agreeing to her proposal, her dejected expression immediately turned into a smile. She reached out her hand and shook Kaede Sato's hand happily.
After the two of them agreed to form an alliance, the atmosphere in the room became much livelier. Mia also went one step further and told Kaede Sato everything she knew.
After an hour of discussion about the second stage of the competition, Mia bade Kaede Sato goodbye with satisfaction. With the help of an evolved Yongira, she disappeared from his sight in an instant.
"It's so convenient to travel with a superpower. I can move a long distance with just a blink. With this, I won't have to worry about being ganged up on in the early stages of the competition."
Seeing Mia disappear in front of his eyes, Kaede Sato turned around and looked at the sea in front of him with an envious expression.
The reason why Kaede Sato agreed to Mia's alliance so quickly after learning about the rules of the competition was simple. Part of the reason was that he really needed a strong ally.
However, most of it was because Kaede Sato was interested in Mia's identity as a superpower user. Since she was taught by Na Zi and had a powerful Wisp, she would definitely have a strong tracking ability. (Foreseeing the future and planting a spiritual mark)
With this, Mia, who had the ability to teleport, would be able to meet up with him very quickly. By then, he would have a huge advantage in the early stages of the competition.
With a superpower user by his side, at least he would have a great chance of escaping if he was to be ganged up on.
"I can only use six Wisps, and the second stage of the competition will last for three weeks. I need to prepare well."
After a while, Kaede Sato put away all the Wisps except for the Crosshead Bat. He then had the Crosshead Bat carry him to Red Lotus Town.
