The next moment, the names of all the remaining participating teams appeared before Zhang Pingfan.
Dou Youyou's team was the first one Zhang Pingfan singled out, followed by the teams of the three major guild leaders.
This directly resulted in four teams.
"Youyou, are there any particularly strong teams among those participating this time?"
Dou Youyou was a little curious why her master was suddenly asking this question.
"The best team is naturally my team. There are still 15 teams from our guild left in the competition. Besides my team, the strongest seems to be the one led by Can Jian!"
"Okay, besides Can Jian, who else?"
"Dou Youyou's team. The rest are pretty much the same, mostly composed of players from Novice Village 88!"
"Understood."
Then, he would select three teams from the Eternal Myth guild.
The three major guilds and their three teams would make six teams. For the remaining four teams, he would select others, so as not to deprive them of the experience.
After all, the biggest benefits should go to his own people.
Ding! System prompt: Congratulations, your participating team has been selected as the Lucky Team by the Village Chief. Please proceed immediately to the Village Chief statue in Pingfan City Square to assemble!

Zhang Pingfan sent out ten system prompts at once.
Players who received the messages immediately gathered their members and headed to the Village Chief statue in Pingfan City to assemble.
"You received the message too."
"Of course. As soon as I received the message from the Village Chief, I rushed over!"
"Yes, I don't know what we're going to do. More and more people are gathering!"
The leaders of the three major guilds also arrived with their teams.
Following them, Dou Youyou also arrived with her people.
"Miss Youyou, what does your master mean by this?"
Dou Youyou was also unsure, as her master hadn't told her anything, only asked for her opinion.
"I'm not very clear either, but it seems the people who have arrived are all very strong!"
Indeed, the people Zhang Pingfan had gathered this time were specifically chosen for their high combat power.
Besides these six teams, the teams from the major families also appeared.
After all, the major families had spent money and deserved some benefits.
Before long, all ten teams, comprising 100 people, had assembled, attracting quite a crowd of onlookers.
"What's going on? So many experts are gathered here, even Dou Youyou and the leaders of the three major guilds are here!"
"Yes, what's happening? They're all gathered in this place!"
Soon after, Zhang Pingfan slowly walked over.
"Look, the Village Chief is here! He's probably going to assign them a big mission!"
"With so many high-level combatants here, there must be an important mission. I wonder what kind of mission it is that requires so many experts. It's a shame our combat power is too low to reach their level!"
More and more people were gathering, as the event was quite grand.
Someone had also posted on the forum saying that the Village Chief was assembling the top 100 players at the Village Chief statue in Pingfan City.
Instantly, many people went to watch the spectacle, as such scenes were rare!
"The Village Chief is here, make way quickly!"
"Make way for the Village Chief!"
The onlookers parted, creating a wide path for Zhang Pingfan.
Zhang Pingfan, as if being held in the palm of a star, arrived before the 100 people.
"Master, you're here!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded. The 100 people before him and all the onlookers quieted down.
"Ahem, these 100 people were hand-picked by me. You all should have good coordination within your respective teams!"
The people before him nodded one after another. After cooperating for the past few days, they had indeed developed considerable tacit understanding.
"Very well, from now on you will continue to operate in your existing teams, forming ten teams in total. I hope that in the upcoming mission, each of your teams can exert its maximum ability. These 100 people will be sent to a special space. In this special space, the points each team obtains will determine your final ranking and the ultimate rewards you receive."
Upon hearing about rewards, everyone immediately became eager.
"However, there is one thing I hope you will remember clearly. You are all humans; you must learn to help each other. Do not draw swords against your own compatriots over a few points!"
After saying this, Zhang Pingfan looked at the 100 people before him. Although everyone's expression was a bit strange, they all nodded in agreement.
"Very good, I hope you will keep your word. And the most important thing is, if you die in this special space, you will be eliminated from this mission. So, try your best to preserve your lives. I have a suggestion for you: the best way is to form alliances!"
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly making calculations in their minds.
"Village Chief, what is this mission we are undertaking?"
Someone raised a question, as the Village Chief had not told them what it was until now.
Zhang Pingfan said, "Have you heard of Doomsday Rehearsal? What you will encounter next is a doomsday scenario. Humanity is on the brink of destruction, and you will face extraterrestrial creatures invading Blue Star. Your task is to kill all those extraterrestrial creatures. There are only two ways for this mission to end: either all extraterrestrial creatures are killed, or all players die!"
Zhang Pingfan's words immediately caused a lot of discussion.
"Doomsday simulation? It sounds so interesting!"
"Indeed. I wonder what kind of scene it will be. Will it be like in the movies? And what exactly are these extraterrestrial creatures?"
"I have a bad feeling about this. Is the Village Chief saying that our Southern Star will be invaded? So, he's letting players experience a doomsday scenario in advance?"
"Don't speak carelessly. Spreading rumors is illegal!"
"I'm just guessing. After all, the world we live in now is indeed different from before. With the power of a game being able to affect reality, it's hard not to have other thoughts!"
"Keep what you know to yourself. Don't talk about it!"
"I wonder if anyone is live-streaming from inside. I really want to see what the scene looks like. At least let us players have a good look, right?"
"Yes, I want to ask about this too. At least let us other players see what the game's simulated doomsday world is like!"
Many people wanted to see a live broadcast, but Zhang Pingfan had no intention of fulfilling this request.
Ding! System prompt: The system is issuing you a new mission: Live broadcast this secret realm throughout!
"Damn it, are you deliberately going against me? How can I, an NPC, live-stream?"
