Of course, these pursuers wouldn't treat you like a heinous criminal, throwing you into Azkaban after catching you. They believe the Contractor who committed this act is actually a tourist who, by some coincidence, discovered a Bowtruckle and enthusiastically handed it over to the British Museum. So even if caught, you'd "only" have your memory forcibly erased by a flash of light.

However, this seemingly light punishment is actually quite severe. The pursuers' flash of light effectively erases all the adventure experiences you had in this world. In other words, if Fang Senyan were hit, Hagrid wouldn't recognize him, and everything he obtained from the troll would be deleted… At that point, his evaluation for passing the level would be so low that it could be compared to Liu Yan's deep cleavage.

At this time, the owner of the Magical Creature Zoo will be back soon. If he hadn't gone out on business, Phil wouldn't have dared to bring outsiders in. So Fang Senyan and Geli hurriedly left. Walking down the street of Diagon Alley, Fang Senyan was quite curious as to why Geli acted so superior in front of Phil, and Phil could only swallow his anger. Geli seemed very interested in this topic and started to explain from the beginning.

It turned out that among all the extracted Contractors, melee-type Contractors accounted for at least half. However, this half had to be further reduced by about one-third for those who followed the agile melee route. What remained were those whose personal attributes were focused on strength and stamina. Usually, only these Contractors had stronger resistance to attacks and were suitable for charging at the front line.

After this calculation, the number of melee Contractors suitable for charging at the front line was still very considerable, accounting for about 2.5% of the total number of Contractors.

However, everyone knows the cruelty of the Nightmare World. Especially in the initial worlds, the survival rate of Contractors with ranged attacks is significantly higher than that of melee-type Contractors. Therefore, the attrition rate of Contractors whose personal attributes are focused on strength and stamina is quite alarming, at least double that of ranged attack Contractors! So after experiencing two or three worlds in a row, this created a very awkward situation, which is that melee-type Contractors who can entangle with the enemy are quite scarce.

According to Geli, some teams lack manpower in this area, so they cannot even challenge to complete many missions. Of course, among the Contractors who are new to the Nightmare World, there is also a view that ranged attacks have reached a certain saturation point, so there is almost nothing for melee attacks to do.

However, this view only applies to wars in the real world and cannot be applied to the Nightmare World. Especially as the difficulty of the world increases and the creatures to be challenged become stronger.

To give a very simple example, Crowbar's previous six-person team succeeded in killing the troll, but could six gunners kill the troll? The answer is definitely no. First of all, when shooting at moving objects, the accuracy of gunners will inevitably decrease greatly, and there will be absolutely no chance to aim calmly at vital points. The possibility of crippling the troll right from the start is absolutely zero.

Secondly, without anyone to restrain it, a single tree trunk throw from the troll will definitely kill a gunner! Under the threat of death that may come at any time, who can calmly attack? Moreover, the troll is a creature that will run away. Once its health drops to a certain level, it will turn around and run away. Do the gunners chase after it? If the troll hides in a blind spot that cannot be shot at, who will lure it out?

What's more, from a psychological point of view, this type of team cannot be formed from the beginning. Under the threat of immediate death, of course, everyone is willing to fight desperately, but when everyone's life is not directly threatened, there are definitely not many people who are willing to fight desperately.

For example, if a ranged attacker persuades other ranged attackers: "Guys, let's start a team to kill the troll. Although a few people will definitely die, it may not be you. We will definitely be able to kill that monster and get benefits." The ending of this matter will inevitably end in failure… No one will take the risk of certain death to join such a team when there are other ways to gain benefits.

Therefore, in this situation where melee-type Contractors—especially those who can engage in delaying entanglements—are becoming increasingly scarce, the status and voice of these Contractors in the team will inevitably rise, because the risks they take are undoubtedly several times higher than those of Contractors who hide behind and launch ranged attacks. They implicitly have a superior status compared to ordinary team members.

Therefore, in the previous team, although Crowbar's strength was far below that of Metal Mentor, he could still become a core member of the team, and he also dared to damage the interests of Metal Mentor and plot to embezzle the spoils of the troll, relying on this point. If things went according to his plan, and he was the only remaining melee-type Contractor in the entire Symbiosis Society, then Metal Mentor, who could not get any real evidence, really could not do anything to him.

If you think about it carefully at this time, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hatred for no reason. Geli's friendliness to Fang Senyan is also obvious. It is clear that they will be the backbone of the Symbiosis Society's melee Contractors in the future, and Fang Senyan's strength, which he has shown so far, is also very good. If Geli wants to replace Crowbar, then he absolutely needs Fang Senyan's support.

"So that's how it is…" After Fang Senyan heard this series of information from Geli, a light flashed in his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Now that he has personally joined this team, he has already felt a lot of convenience. Geli's news has further strengthened Fang Senyan's confidence in forming his own team.

"Let's go, according to the team's regulations, we have to go to the hideout every afternoon to communicate. Of course, there are exceptions for special circumstances. The mentor said, let me take you there to integrate into the team first, and by the way, do the prefix task for the 'Enthusiastic Person' achievement."

At this time, Geli had already taken Fang Senyan to the end of Diagon Alley. After looking at the time, he knocked on the brick wall a few times and returned to the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron pub in London. At this time, there were already more customers inside. Old Nick was so busy at the counter, but he still saw Fang Senyan and immediately glared at him, wanting to curse. Fang Senyan simply threw a five-pound coin over… In the next few days, he would be coming in and out of here quite frequently, so there was no need to argue with this old man over a bottle of beer.

Old Nick gave Fang Senyan a "I'll teach you a lesson next time" gesture and didn't bother to pay attention to him. When Geli passed by the customers in the bar, he deliberately slowed down his pace and smiled at each plot character, then whispered to Fang Senyan:

"Try to stay here a little longer. I heard that when Metal Mentor first entered this world, he met a wizard in this tavern. His charm was already not low, and he was compatible with this wizard, so he gained a lot of opportunities. Metal Mentor's ability today is inseparable from that opportunity. Although danger is everywhere in this damn world, as long as you seize the opportunity, there is a lot to be gained!"

Fang Senyan noticed Geli's evaluation of Metal Mentor in his words, "gained a lot of opportunities" rather than "gained a lot of benefits." This shows that there is absolutely no free lunch in space. If you have the opportunity but don't work hard to grasp it, it is also a bubble. What's even more sad is that many people don't even get the opportunity! Crowbar can be regarded as a person with both ambition and scheming, but he has never had any good opportunities. In the end, he even has to bet everything to create an opportunity for himself… However, this opportunity was used by Fang Senyan.

Obviously, the two of them failed to gain any adventures in the tavern, especially for Fang Senyan, he simply did not have much hope for his meager charm points.

After arriving in normal London, Geli took Fang Senyan directly to a rather old-fashioned building. When entering the building, Fang Senyan even felt a faint threat aiming at the center of his eyebrows, which should be a sniper or something.

Fang Senyan remained calm and entered the building. After going up to the third floor, he discovered that it was actually a very luxurious hall, with fifteen or sixteen people sitting sparsely inside. However, based on the distribution of their seats, he could roughly see their status in the team. According to the information given by Geli, the entire Symbiosis Society should have used the rare item "**Symbiotic Stone**" to gather together. This should be most of the members of the Symbiosis Society.

From this, it can be seen that what Geli said at the beginning was not fabricated. The Symbiosis Society has a total of about twenty people, but only five of them are relatively outstanding in strength. Moreover, recalling the performance in the previous battle, the qualities of two of these five Contractors were very average. Thinking about it now, it really has the taste of rather have too many than not enough.

Fang Senyan's unfamiliar face undoubtedly attracted a lot of doubtful glances. Geli smiled and sat down in the center of the chairs in the front row. Obviously, surprise appeared in the eyes of several people below. One of them, a man with gold-rimmed glasses who seemed to have a good relationship with Geli, directly laughed and said:

"Geli, you can only sit here now. When Crowbar comes, you still have to give way."
