Lazily Yours.

Just like the previous competition, everything that is happening in the arena was also broadcasted. It was broadcasted on the TV and also on the enormous stage just in front of the entrance. While many people and even executives chose to look at the live broadcast on the stage, Lyca and Shen Qui chose to go back to their room.

"You are so calm, ah," Cleo spoke. She followed Lyca and Shen Qui into their room to watch the broadcast. Since their living room is not really that big, the others like Ronan and Hogan were In their own room while Chu Nan also joined Shen Qui and Lyca. "Hogan and Ronan also came back to their rooms. Among all the companies, we are the only companies who didn't leave anyone in the entrance in case one of our people will trigger a trap."

"Stop overthinking," Lyca said. Even if they trigger a trap, they won't be considered dead. After all, her people were smart. They would surely take advantage of the surrounding resources while moving forward. Moreover, their visors have both night and infrared vision. When it comes to survival skills, those people should be considered top-notch, ah. "Just trust in the process." Lyca couldn't think of anything to comfort Cleo.

"Frowning like that will give you wrinkles. Just look at Mr. Chu's face." Lyca added.

"…" Why does she have to mention his face? Was he really that ugly? Chu Nan always believed that he was born good-looking, ah. "You should stop talking about nonsense stuff and focus on what was happening right now."

"Oh," Lyca nodded before she turned towards her husband. Shen Qui was the only serious one as he watched the TV. "You watch, I will sleep."

"But — " Chu Nan was about to protest when Lyca interrupted him.

"Mr. Chu, if I get worried would that change anything?" she asked. Worrying about her people should be normal. However, this won't help anyone. Aside from giving her stress. Thinking too much is bad for her mental health, ah. It is better to sleep now and wake up refresh.

"No." Chu Nan answered. "Then… can you at least tell me what is going to happen?"

"Oh. I didn't discuss this with them." Lyca said.

"…"

"I don't micromanage," she added. A good army is not just people who can follow instructions. It is also the ones who can decide on their own. "They are a team. Once they take missions, I won't be the one creating plans for them. I won't participate in planning or executing anything. This stage will serve as their training." Feeling that she already said too much, Lyca sighed and kissed Shen Qui's cheek. Then she left the living room and walked towards her room.

Being worried is actually pointless. As someone who is already living her second life, Lyca thought that overthinking won't get her anywhere. It would cause anxiety and sleeping disorders. So, she decided not to think about things that she couldn't change or influence.

"They will climb into trees." Shen Qui said just after Lyca left.

"Climbed trees? They won't fight for a tower?" Cleo asked.

"No." Shen Qui shook his head. "The person who designed this competition was truly clever. First, they only made people fight during the night when it would be hard for them to see each other. This would increase the difficulty of the stage. Fighting for towers would surely injure a few people. Imagine this… each team would have twenty-five people, right? These people were all experienced, good in martial arts, and they were carrying nonlethal weapons. Meaning, two companies with equal strength fighting against each other would eliminate a few of their members and weaken each company."

Shen Qui made a pause before he continued. "This means that the two companies who would fight against each other for a tower on the first night when everyone else is energized and strong would sustain a lot of losses. And this is only the first night."

"So the strategy is not to fight for the tower?"

"Yes. Lyca's people are smart enough. She told them to do it the dirty way. Meaning, they would never fight in a fair duel. At most, they would hide on the first night. Watch as the two remaining teams fought against each other and wait for them to settle in their towers before attacking." Shen Qui said.

"Plus people think that they are not very good in martial arts, that they are weak," Cleo added. "So, it would be logical for Long Company and Dal Valley to target each other first before they would try to take care of our Shen Security, right?"

"This is logical." Chu Nan nodded. Actually, he thought that Lyca's people would use their advantage in speed to locate the first tower and occupy it before other teams can. After all, being in a tower is advantageous. "So, they won't occupy any towers? But this would give them a significant advantage. Their visors are night vision, they can see in the dark, spotting enemies if you are on top of the tower is very easy."

"No." Shen Qui said. "The tower could be helpful for someone like Dal Valley who is very brutal and confident in their skills. Our people are smaller and considerably weaker. A tower would trap them, however, a tower could also act as the best spot to deal with their enemies." Shen Qui didn't explain further.

Shen Qui knew that every one of the team has the bracelet that Lyca created. It wasn't fatal and the poison that they have is nonlethal and could only make people sleep. Their strategy could be simple this time, they could trap their enemies in the tower and use the poison to make them sleep. Then… they would get their flags without even using any tremendous efforts.

Of course, this is also the best-case scenario. Shen Qui knew that the enemy wouldn't just let Shen Security's people trap them. Meaning, a fight would surely happen.

Now their greatest advantage is actually the fact that people are underestimating them.
