"Lin Ye, so far, there are only two suitable people..."
Li Fei looked at Lin Ye with some difficulty.
Almost an hour had passed, and although people had come to sign up intermittently, only two were suitable, not even enough for a five-person team.
Others either weren't willing to pay or had too many objections...
After all, the Black Stone Mine Secret Realm was still too challenging at the moment.
Moreover, there were very few novice Professionals who could reach Level 5 now.
Not to mention, most of these people were candidates with excellent talent and resources, who wouldn't even consider joining a wildcard team.
That's why Lin Ye had such trouble recruiting suitable team members.
That said, having two effective sign-ups already was not too bad.
Lin Ye checked the time, then simply said, "It's fine. Let them come over, and let's get ready to set off!"
Li Fei nodded, "Alright! I'll call them over now!"
Lin Ye thought about getting Hook to make up the numbers, but he found that this guy had already entered the Secret Realm, so he had to give up.
Once a Professional enters the Secret Realm, it's as if they've entered another world, becoming temporarily disconnected from reality.
Since Hook had already gone to the Secret Realm, Lin Ye simply gave up on the idea of getting five people together.
Anyway, missing a bit of bonus experience wouldn't matter much.
It's just that with Hook missing this time, there might really never be another chance to venture into the Secret Realm with Lin Ye again.
The gap between them was destined to grow larger and larger...
Soon, the two sign-ups were in position.
One was a guy named Han Dong, an A-level Talent Fighter, Level 5.
As for the other, a girl named An Xinmeng, small in stature, holding a Magic Staff even taller than herself, possessing an S-Class high-end talent, but her profession was unusual, a Level 5 Aura Master.
An Xinmeng's profession, placed among quirky professions, was quite outstanding.
So even though she had an S-Class Talent, she still had to join a wildcard team...
Though Aura Master is a rare profession, its combat power is not high, only becoming formidable after transitioning into an Array Master later.
But before transitioning, it's essentially a matter of just passing the time.
In an Ordinary Level Secret Realm, gaining experience and leveling up is the way for an Aura Master to grow.
And the reason An Xinmeng could level up to Level 5 so quickly is precisely because her previous Secret Realms were all breezed through.
Although the experience gained in a single Secret Realm was little, she didn't tire easily and could make up for it through frequency!
So, An Xinmeng's level was quite high.
As for why she joined Lin Ye this time, it was purely because S-Class Talent didn't require payment...
"What about the other person? Is it just the four of us?" Han Dong looked around, somewhat suspicious.
Including An Xinmeng, who was clearly here to farm experience, at most there were only four of them.
Did they not say it was time to set off?
Could it be that four people were going to tackle Abyss Level difficulty Black Stone Mine?
"Four people are enough. If you think it's dangerous, you can leave the team now," Lin Ye said indifferently.
He also knew that his team looked unreliable.
If it were his past life and he saw such a novice team saying they were going to tackle Abyss Level Black Stone Mine, he would definitely think they were courting death.
So Han Dong having doubts now was also normal.
But unexpectedly, Han Dong only thought for a moment before saying, "No problem, let's set off!"
To be honest, Han Dong felt this team had significant issues!
However, he was also gambling on a possibility.
That Lin Ye indeed had a way to lead them through!
Whether to live an ordinary life forever or gamble on a chance to make a name for himself, he chose the latter.
He had an A-level Talent and had to pay Lin Ye a hundred thousand to join, but if they could really clear the Black Stone Mine for the first SSS difficulty, that would be a huge gain.
Compared to such an achievement, a mere hundred thousand was nothing.
So what he was really gambling on was his own life...
Succeed or die trying!
As for An Xinmeng, she had no objections about the team having only four people, so they set off directly.
Meanwhile, a notification appeared before all the Professionals in the plaza.
['Forest Squad' has entered 'Black Stone Mine (Abyss Level)'!]
This news immediately stunned the Professionals within the plaza.
Originally, they had long forgotten about it, as Lin Ye's recruitment notice for team members was posted an hour ago, and many people quickly forgot after discussing it briefly...
So seeing this information pop up now surprised them; they didn't expect Lin Ye hadn't withdrawn the recruitment notice.
Especially when they saw the team composition, they went completely crazy!
"No way? Four people? Damn, aside from saying 'wow,' what else can I say?"
"It's actually three people because there's an Aura Master inside, a notorious filler profession."
"Wow... isn't that really going to end badly?"
"What exactly was the thinking behind this..."
The entire Professional Plaza was shocked by Lin Ye's team information.
To be honest, it wasn't surprising for Lin Ye to tackle Black Stone Mine...
After all, he was already Level 5, had the strength, so challenging Black Stone Mine made sense.
But now, the problem was Lin Ye's team!
Only four people, and one was just a filler...
How to even fight with that?
Anyone with a normal mind would struggle to imagine what method Lin Ye's team could use to clear successfully...
Or even make it out of Black Stone Mine alive.
There are countless Professionals who die in Secret Realms every year, so after some slight surprise, the plaza quickly returned to its original state.
A death is a death, after all.
...
"Does such a team dare to enter the Secret Realm?"
Lu Yunsheng, who was about to leave the plaza, was somewhat surprised to see this news.
"That An Xinmeng is in there too..."
Lu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
This was also one of his students...
And a rather rare S-Class Talent.
Unfortunately, the Professional Badge she got was for Aura Master, and she was stubborn, unwilling to be persuaded to switch to another common profession, wasting her outstanding S-Class Talent.
So Lu Yunsheng could only let her fend for herself...
Although an Aura Master's transition to Array Master was quite strong, what did it have to do with him?
At least before college entrance exams, An Xinmeng couldn't transition!
This was of no help to the school's admission rate and of no interest, so Lu Yunsheng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her.
Who would've thought this foolish girl would have gotten mixed up with Lin Ye...
"Whatever, the arrogant and the foolish teaming up, is actually quite fitting!"
Lu Yunsheng sneered and left the Professional Plaza.
