Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Heading to Shenzhen

As the only two candidates from Shan City qualified to participate in the Champion Battlefield, Lin Ye and Ke Jue were escorted by staff from the Shan City Professional Center to Shenzhen.

Undoubtedly, the most convenient mode of transportation nowadays is the Teleportation Array, which teleports you directly to your destination in one step.

The Teleportation Array is a type of creation built by Array Masters, capable of facilitating long-distance movement, although it consumes a lot of resources in the process.

In human society, this is a mode of transportation that only Professionals can use.

Of course, if you have confidence in your own strength, you can also choose to traverse the forbidden zones and head to other human settlements. Many guilds’ main source of income is transporting goods back and forth between settlements.

These types of caravans occasionally carry some travelers to other settlements too.

Of course, choosing this way of travel isn’t cheap either.

You could say that ordinary people of this era are essentially locked in a single settlement their entire lives, finding it difficult to move even a step.

Unless their settlement is destroyed, survivors might then be relocated to other new settlements.

“Let’s go! It’s time. I’ll take you to the Teleportation Array.”

After staying in the room for a while, Chen Daosheng finally spoke up.

The use of the Teleportation Array must be reported in advance and conducted according to the notified schedule.

Just like airplanes before the arrival of the Abyss, there were rules and restrictions, and you couldn’t take off or land at your own discretion.

If you don’t use the Teleportation Array according to the rules, being banned for life from teleportation is the least of the worries; getting caught in space turbulence is no joke.

Under the guidance of Chen Daosheng, the two reached the teleportation center.

Throughout the journey, Ke Jue remained silent.

Lin Ye, however, was indifferent; he’s not much of a talker, but this allowed him to pick up some clues.

It seemed like Ke Jue’s relationship with Ke Yue of the Ke Family in Shenzhen might not be very harmonious.

Ke Yue was the one who constantly tried to set up enemies for Lin Ye, both openly and secretly, attempting to draw Lin Ye in during his time at the Skill Divine Hall.

When Ke Yue first met Lin Ye, within a few words, he asked if Lin Ye knew Ke Jue.

In the end, Lin Ye tactically suggested Ke Yue contact him through Ke Jue when responding to Ke Yue’s proposal for cooperation.

In truth, Lin Ye had no intention of collaborating with Ke Yue.

Even if Ke Yue genuinely found Ke Jue to contact him, Lin Ye would directly ignore it.

As for Ke Yue, whether he’d be affected by this matter or not, was beyond Lin Ye’s concern. Since the guy tried to set a trap for Lin Ye first, he couldn’t really blame Lin Ye for setting one back.

“Let’s go! The Space Control Bureau gave us only ten minutes. Don’t dawdle,” said Chen Daosheng.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye and Ke Jue stepped onto the Teleportation Array.

Under the operator’s control, the Teleportation Array emitted a bright light; the blue glow lit up the entire space.

Lin Ye could only feel the scene before him suddenly twist, spinning rapidly in retreat.

This was a space tunnel, a peculiar space created between two Teleportation Arrays, allowing those within it to traverse hundreds of miles safely in an instant.

However, the cost of such long-distance teleportation, often costing hundreds of thousands, is not something every Professional can afford. Lin Ye was only able to use the Teleportation Array for free this time because he was participating in the Champion Battlefield.

The twisting vision before him quickly dissipated, and when Lin Ye could see clearly again, he found himself in a particularly spacious area.

“Welcome to the Shenzhen Professional Center!”

Welcoming voices sounded around.

Clearly, Lin Ye and the others had arrived at the Shenzhen Professional Center.

Just judging by the venue, this space was indeed much more impressive than Shan City’s Professional Center.

Inside this facility alone, there were no fewer than ten Teleportation Arrays!

The specifications of a first-tier settlement indeed far exceeded those of a fourth-tier settlement like Shan City.

Waiting outside the Teleportation Array were evidently staff from the Shenzhen Professional Center. At the forefront was a tall, good-looking woman.

“Hello, I am Huang Li from the Shenzhen Professional Center!”

“Hello! I am Chen Daosheng.” Chen Daosheng walked over and shook hands with Huang Li, somewhat nervously.

“Assistant General Manager Chen, right? Last time President Zhang was here, he mentioned you to President Yue and even said he wanted to recommend you to study here for a while,” said Huang Li with a smile.

“President Zhang did indeed mention it, but…” Chen Daosheng’s face turned a little red.

“But what? You agreed, didn’t you?” Lin Ye, seeing Chen Daosheng’s current state, immediately interjected, as if fanning the flames.

“Don’t add fuel to the fire!” Chen Daosheng said helplessly, telling Lin Ye to hold his tongue.

Huang Li then shifted her gaze to Lin Ye.

“And you must be Lin Ye, right?”

“Hello, Director Huang, I am Lin Ye!” Lin Ye said, glancing at the work badge on Huang Li’s chest.

Huang Li slightly smiled, a bit surprised by Lin Ye’s demeanor, which was exceptionally mature!

Unlike the timid girl next to Lin Ye, who reacted as children of this age typically would when meeting them.

“And this must be Ke Jue, right?” Huang Li then looked at Ke Jue.

“Ah… yes, I am Ke Jue!” Ke Jue hurriedly looked up and replied nervously.

“Alright, let’s chat as we walk! The center has already arranged accommodations for you all. During this time, anyone participating in the Champion Battlefield is not allowed to leave the premises privately!” said Huang Li.

Those qualified to participate in the Champion Battlefield are among the most elite of the newly rising Professionals each year.

To ensure their safety, they will be gathered for unified inspection and isolation over the next few days.

Led by Huang Li, Lin Ye and the others went through a series of registrations and checks before finally receiving their room keys.

“The Champion Battlefield will start the day after tomorrow. In the meantime, you must stay within the center’s surveillance range,” said Huang Li.

At this point, Huang Li looked at Lin Ye and said, “Especially you. Please do not enter your private domain unnecessarily to avoid any troubling misunderstandings.”

Having one’s own private domain at the age of 18 and above Level 20, like Lin Ye, was unprecedented.

It must be said, this was a case where a long-standing rule, often suggested for removal during annual reviews of redundant regulations, found its justification this year with Lin Ye.

Those who made these rules were truly foresighted.

“No problem! Unless absolutely necessary, I won’t enter my domain,” Lin Ye nodded.

Rules are fixed, but people are alive. If faced with a situation requiring him to enter his domain, Lin Ye wouldn’t heed rules just for the sake of it.

“Alright, up ahead is your lodging. Remember not to engage in physical conflicts. Any disputes can be resolved on the battlefield instead. However, if it’s just sparring, you can use the center’s arena,” advised Huang Li, quite thoughtfully.

“Rest assured, no conflicts will occur,” Lin Ye laughed, eyes sparkling.

Ke Jue, on the other hand, nodded repeatedly, behaving very obediently.

Huang Li couldn’t help but look at Lin Ye again, feeling he didn’t quite look like someone who would obediently follow orders.

“Lin Ye, just go in. I will wait for you to come back!” Chen Daosheng said somewhat seriously.

Lin Ye: “…”

The way you say it, it’s as though I’m heading to prison!
