The rules for the fifth round of the competition sounded very simple and straightforward, and there didn't seem to be any difficulty. Although the competition was about who had the most supplies, one would advance as long as they could make it to the end of the competition. So the difficulty was not small.
At least that's what everyone thought when they heard the rules for this round.
After hearing the rules, the next step was to group the teams together.
An Yan and Cheng Yi were placed in Group A, while Cheng Yang and Gu Qing were placed in Group C.
Cheng Yang wailed after the groupings came out. "I wanted to be in your group so that we could move together!"
An Yan smiled and reassured him. "It's okay, maybe we'll meet later."
After the grouping, the teams of each group boarded the airship and were sent to random locations on the map.
The journey was brief, but the teams in each group got to know each other.
Although each group consisted of twenty teams, the total number of contestants varied from group to group as some were in teams of two while others were alone.
There were 34 contestants in An Yan and Cheng Yi's group, which meant that 14 of the 20 teams were in pairs, while the remaining six were mecha warriors fighting on their own.
Because the time was short, they only had time to say their names and which academy they came from. There was a small commotion when it was An Yan and Cheng Yi's turn to introduce themselves.
"Oh my God! I can't believe I'm in the same group with two bosses. I'm so lucky! "
"Are these really the two bosses? Maybe they happen to have the same name? I ....I still can't believe that I'm seeing them in person!"
"Begging the two bosses for a cover! I'm counting on you guys for this round!"
"Can you sign my autograph when this round is over?"
......
However, they were in the middle of the competition, so neither An Yan nor Cheng Yi made any response to all the chatter from the other group members. Everyone managed to control their emotions in time, and the commotion passed quickly.
After everyone had finished their individual introductions, someone soon brought the topic back to the two: "Since it's a team competition, shouldn't we elect a team leader first? That way, it is more convenient when we act later, right? "
This proposal was immediately approved by all the members of the group, and someone immediately suggested, "Since we have to choose, why don't we let Cheng Yi and An Yan be our team leaders!"
There was another wave of tacit agreement. Cheng Yi and An Yan were undoubtedly the best choices in terms of personal strength, leadership ability, and fame.
With everyone's unanimous choice, Cheng Yi and An Yan looked at each other and said, "Thank you all for your trust. Since that's the case, Yan Yan and I will take over as team leaders for the time being."
In fact, being a team leader was not really attractive to Cheng Yi. Not only did he have too many things to manage, but it also affected his show of affection for the little one. However,
Yan Yan’s face was full of enthusiasm, and all the group members were surprisingly united in their opinions, so Cheng Yi had no choice but to agree.
The airship arrived at its destination and stopped just when this conversation was ending. Before everyone got off the airship, they each collected their mechas, and the competition was about to begin.
Everyone got into their mechs in good order and then began to discuss the next course of action.
In previous competitions, there was no real-time communication between mechas in order to ensure absolute fairness in the competition. Otherwise, wouldn’t a battle be quelled with some small talk if you met someone you knew on the field?
But since they were acting in teams for this round, it was obvious that they needed to communicate with each other in a timely manner. So the mechas they were allocated this time had the communication function switched on, though it was also limited to use within the group members.
Everyone had different ideas for the next course of action, and in the end, the issue was put on Cheng Yi.
He was the leader of the group, after all, and had really strong personal skills. Everyone naturally had very high expectations of him.
The problem was that everyone had been transported to a certain point on the map, and they still had no idea about the overall layout nor the resources they were supposed to obtain. Even the most powerful person wouldn’t be able to come up with a reasonable course of action.
The most important thing now was to find out the situation on the field before they could consider how to act.

"In order to facilitate better communication, let us number everyone's mechas." Cheng Yi spoke calmly, "Mecha warriors should also tell me their spiritual power level, as well as their mecha handling level. Those with a team partner should also report the pharmacist's spiritual power level and potion making level too. "
Everyone had no objection to this and quickly described their situation as Cheng Yi recorded the data and numbered everyone.
Once their numbers were determined, Cheng Yi began to assign the group members their first step of action: "No. 1 and No. 7 are a group, scouting south. No. 2 and No. 8 are a group scouting north, while No. 3 and No. 9 are a group scouting west. Make sure to keep your communication channels open at all times, and report any situation you encounter. "
The first six numbers were all lone participants in the competition. According to the data they reported, several of them had A-ranked spiritual power, and their mecha handling ability was not bad. However, they were not accompanied by a pharmacist, so it was best not to act alone in case they encountered unexpected situations.
From number seven onwards, they were ranked according to their overall strength. The higher the mecha warrior's mecha handling ability and the pharmacist's potion making ability, the higher their rank would be.
The only exceptions were Cheng Yi and An Yan, who were group 20.
Once these six had set off in accordance with the mission instructions, Cheng Yi then said to the rest of the group, "All pharmacists will now start making potions. Mecha warriors must observe the surroundings at all times and no unauthorized actions are allowed. "
Everyone responded, and the pharmacists scrambled to start making potions.
But An Yan was not idle either. He asked Cheng Yi while making potions: "Senior, can the members exchange potions with each other since this is a team competition?"
Cheng Yi's gaze flickered slightly. In fact, whether it was this team competition or the previous rounds, the rules did not state that participants could not exchange potions between themselves, but this was made a unanimous default for everyone.
It was in a competition, afterall. Everyone was fighting for the final championship, and no one would be kind enough to give their potions to others, as such kindness would probably end up hurting themselves instead.
Under this default rule, it was unlikely that anyone would have had such a thought in the first place, let alone raise such a question.
However, since An Yan already had such an idea and the rules did not explicitly state that this was not allowed, then the matter was worth a try.
Cheng Yi then said, "We can try it out. It would indeed be advantageous if group members could swap potions with each other."
An Yan immediately produced a spiritual recovery potion, then left the mecha and handed the potion to one of his new teammates.
Although this teammate had not seen An Yan's potion making process before, he had seen the relevant posts on the virtual net. He knew that the spiritual power potions An Yan had made during the competition were either S-rank or SS-Rank, and he now looked at the potion as if he was worshipping some treasure.
Although it might be an exaggeration to say so, this teammate was very excited at the moment. Not only was his hand shaking with excitement, but he didn't even dare to reach out for it. "Is this... potion really meant for me?"
Boss An Yan was giving him such a powerful potion. He was simply too happy. Wuuu wuuu!
An Yan nodded affirmatively, "I just don't know if you can use the potions I make."
If the competition rules really prohibited the exchange of potions between contestants, then it would be useless even if he gave this potion to the other party without any scruples.
Speaking of this, An Yan was still a bit worried.
His teammate didn't think much about it. He only felt dizzy and his whole body was about to float.
He trembled as he took the potion, but his movements were so careful that one could not see. He had an extraordinarily silly smile on his face as he held the potion: "Is this... an S-rank Spiritual Recovery Potion? It's the first time I've seen such a good potion. "
An Yan was taken aback by the other party's reaction and weakly corrected, "This potion isn't S-rank."
"I... I didn't mean that... even if it's an A-rank potion, it's still very powerful! Really!" The teammate was afraid that his words had hurt An Yan, and was instantly chagrined as he hurriedly spoke up to remedy the situation.
However, he heard An Yan calmly correct him again, "This is not an A-grade potion either. I just tested it and it’s an SS-grade potion. "
The teammate's hand shook and the potion bottle almost fell out of his hand, "This...is an SS rank potion?!"
His voice was so excited that it almost broke.
He was able to come into contact with an SS-rank spirituality potion in this lifetime! He felt his life had completed a full circle!
An Yan was startled. "Well... you'd better try to see if you can use it first. If you can, I'll send you a few more potions. "
"Send me a few more potions?!" This time the teammate’s voice really broke.
