The second round is about survival skills.
The conditions are simple: gather all the eligible candidates in a strange city, without allowing any help from personal connections.
Of course, they can establish new connections.
Let them rely on their own efforts to survive in that city for a month.
Everything from food, drinks, accommodation, and transportation must be self-managed, and if anyone can't endure it, they can forfeit.
Forfeiting means conceding defeat.
Anyone who doesn't voluntarily forfeit will be considered as continuing the competition, and if they starve to death, the family won't intervene.
Additionally, there are no rules in this round, all competitors can scheme against each other, even if it's to the point of threatening lives, it's accepted.
After all, being the Patriarch of the Xia Family comes with a treacherous environment, and if one can't withstand such tactics, even if they become the patriarch, they'll perish due to others' schemes.
