"What did the previous assessment instructor Lu Le mean by the investors and the dome competition?"

Lin Zhou was walking on the forest path of the evergreen forest with his bags on his back, while chatting with Li Yan, who was traveling with him.

Today was the second day they had entered the labyrinth, and now they were very close to the place marked by Li Yan.

When Lin Zhou was on the road in the past two days, he chatted with Li Yan from time to time and asked about something he didn't know about the world of trainers.

Li Yan is idle anyway, and as long as he knows, Lin Zhou will basically explain two sentences.

"The Dome? The Dome Contest is held every 10 years for the management of the Labyrinth during the general election of the Council of Elders. ”

"Fighting for the management of the maze? Doesn't the labyrinth belong to the Elven Alliance? Fight for what? ”

"It's true that the labyrinth belongs to the Elven Alliance, but there are many factions in the Elven Alliance, and various companies, families, and chaebols, as members of the Alliance, all need to share the profits of the Maze.

If they let them divide it by themselves, it will definitely be chaotic, so the actual control and management of the labyrinth is the nine elders of the Council of Elders.

Behind each elder is a group of interests composed of several companies, families, and chaebols.

The Dome Contest is to take out the control of all the labyrinths in the alliance and let the factions of the nine elders choose people to participate in the competition.

Gain control of as many mazes as you can.

The Dome is required to be a rookie under the age of 30, in order to encourage the discovery and development of the younger generation of the league. ”

Lin Zhou sighed in his heart when he heard this, the system of the Elf Alliance is really complex and changeable enough.

Council of Elders rotates, internal factions change, competitions compete for profits, and new recruits are encouraged......

But these initiatives do energize the alliance.

Lin Zhou continued to ask:

"The investor ......"

"An investor is a person who is looking for potential rookies who are qualified to participate in the Dome Competition, recruiting them to invest and cultivate.

Investors may be families or chaebols, but they can be traced back to the very beginning, those who are ready to compete or be re-elected as the next elders. ”

"Sounds a bit like a scout?"

"That's pretty much what it feels like......

Generally, the list of new trainers of the appropriate age will be sent to the investors for a review, and then there will be some ratings, performance, and so on.

If they take their spot, you may be able to get their full funding to prepare for the Dome Tournament.

Let's not talk about the competition for the time being, but when the time comes, I will cultivate resources for free or something, but it will be very cool to be able to get it!

Different families and chaebols have different financial powers, selection methods, selection criteria, and the amount of resources they can provide.

However, in the end, the more powerful the chaebol and family, the more resources they can provide, and the stricter the selection criteria. ”

Li Yan said a little more, obviously very envious of this kind of rookie trainer who can be favored by investors.

Lin Zhou was also surprised when he heard it.

Ooh! This is simply an opportunity for the salted fish to turn over and the sparrow to turn into a phoenix.

Tsk, it looks like we're going to have to pay more attention to this dome contest in the future.

"When is the next Dome?"

Lin Zhou asked.

"It should be soon, there are about three years to go, the Council of Elders will have a general election, and after the general election, there will be the Dome Competition."

Three years......

Lin Zhou wrote down this matter, and after listening to Li Yan's words, he was also a little moved.

According to his current training level and plan, the cultivation funds of a few little guys in the family really put a lot of pressure on him.

If there is an "investor" who can provide some financial support, his pressure may be eased a little.

Lin Zhou pondered this as he walked.

I was about to open my mouth to ask for more details, when there was a sudden click under my feet, as if I had stepped on something slimy.

"Poof...... Woohoo ......"

There was a sound of burnt plastic soles.

Lin Zhou raised the soles of his shoes in surprise, only to see that there was a pool of half-dried venom on the ground, which was so toxic that even the ground was corroded into a shallow pit.

Is this a trace of an elf? Poison elves?

This toxicity doesn't seem small......

Lin Zhou frowned, looked up and looked around, in the trunks and shrubs next to him, traces of venom corrosion could also be faintly seen.

He gave Li Yan a wake-up call, and at the same time asked Mystery Q to be on guard, and then continued to walk forward.

Li Yan was also puzzled when he saw the venom, this corrosiveness looked a little scary.

However, as he continued to move forward, the expression on his face soon changed from confusion to shock!

The originally lush vegetation of the woods was actually covered and corroded by a large amount of venom at this time!

The branches of the trees were covered with a large amount of venom drawing, the grass and trees were yellow and gray, and some were corroded by the poison and only ashes remained, and a pungent strong smell filled the air.

Where is the forest in front of it, it is already a poisonous swamp!

Lin Zhou observed for a moment and said to Li Yan:

"This must have been made by an elf, a poisonous elf who is not weak, this is the elf you are looking for?"

Li Yan shook his head blankly.

"No, the person who sold me the news said that there is a cave here, and there are some rare rock elves in it, and I haven't heard him say that poisonous elves ......"

He's also weird now.

From the power of this venom, it can be seen that this is obviously not an elf that they can deal with, it is very likely to be an elite level, and may even have reached the hall master level......

How could an elf of this strength appear in a primary labyrinth?!

Unless it was running in from outside the "map"?

The primary maze map in their hands only draws a part of the area, which is a part of the area that can be effectively controlled by humans who have built a signal base station.

There's a much bigger area on the periphery.

However, the alliance did not spend more financial resources and manpower to build base stations to form control, but left it to the trainers to explore on their own.

Because it is too expensive to build and maintain a control area, such as always having to repair a base station that has been damaged by elves.

Low-level labyrinths don't have that much value, and it's worth the Alliance's financial and human investment in this way.

The alliance is still in full swing for the development and construction of many middle and high-level mazes.

Financial resources and manpower are concentrated in the middle and high-level mazes, how can there be kung fu to manage the low-level mazes.

Therefore, outside the map, outside the control area, there are some unknown things.

Li Yan felt that the appearance of a powerful elf in the primary maze was likely to come in from outside the control area.

"Let's go back, this looks too dangerous, when we go back, report to the alliance, and someone from the alliance will solve it......"

Li Yan is obviously a little cowardly, just take a test, and if the score is low, the score will be low, and he can't play with his life.

If you really run into a grumpy elite-level elf, it will still be quite dangerous.

Lin Zhou stood in place and gently rubbed the Poké Ball with his hand, looked at the deep forest corroded by venom, thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"I'm going to go over and have a look."
