YM778.TV Chapter 130
Maise the God’s every move made the people nervous.
“As he stood up, everyone’s eyes turned to look in an instant. ”
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic would like to inform all players in Night City that the first stage of the Professional Competition shall commence soon!]
“[Before that, players with less than five points will need to be expelled!] ”
“[8,771 players have been expelled!] ”
“The system notification sounded, to everyone’s surprise. ”
“Then rays of light shone down from above, enveloping the players who did not obtain the minimum number of points. ”
“With looks of bewilderment, the players left Night City one by one. They were immediately flung into Amber City, Crystal City and other places! ”
“””F*ck!”” ”
“””They kicked out more than 8,000 players just like that!”” ”
“””There were actually so many people who did not meet the points requirement last night!”” ”
“””Haven’t you considered? To get five points, you had to kill a platinum grade demonic beast. Many of those who signed up were silver grade equipment players! How could they survive?”” ”
“””When you put it that way, I get it now. However, the Professional Competition has finally shown its true colors as a winner takes all, loser stands small type of contest...”” ”
The players were chattering away about the elimination.
“After that, the rules for the first stage of the competition appeared. ”
“””The first stage of the competition will select 100 players from the remaining 5,322 players!”” 1″
“””For this stage, you may form a team or compete individually!”” ”
A player shouted from the side.
Everyone looked up and realized that the player was reading the rules of the first stage off the panel above.
“At that point, Jiang Bai did not need to say more. ”
He had already inputted all the necessary information. The various rules would now be announced by the panel.
“””F*ck! Soft Snow will be the referee!”” ”
“””Whoever does not abide by the rules will be kicked out of the Professional Competition at once!”” ”
“””I’m not worried about Soft Snow. I’m worried about the selection of 100 people out of 5,000. That’s insane!”” ”
“””That’s what makes it exciting! Once the day is over, those who remain standing will be the true elites!”” ”
“””Hahahaha! I think it’s over for me. I’m not even ranked in the top 1,000 on the leaderboard...”” ”
“””I don’t stand a chance either. This might be the day I get eliminated!”” ”
“””Sigh!”” ”
Most of the players looked regretful.
“They knew that after the first stage selection, they would not be staying on in the competition. ”
“But fortunately, it seemed that they would not be kicked out of Night City should they lose this time. If so, they could at least watch the battles there. ”
They would also be able to gain experience.
...
“Soon, a countdown panel appeared above the competition stage. ”
“””20 seconds!”” ”
“””F*ck!!”” ”
The players choked when they saw the number on the countdown panel.
That number meant that every upcoming match would run for a maximum of 20 seconds.
It was at this point that the players realized how cruel the competition’s selection process was.
“The next moment, players rushed onto the stage in succession. ”
“Some fought in teams, while others fought alone... ”
“However, every 20 seconds, there would be a loser. ”
“For most players, that amount of time was enough to determine who was stronger. ”
“However, some players were evenly matched. Neither side could win in such a short amount of time. ”
“In such situations, both of them would join the next batch of players in the competition... ”
Until one of them fell.
“””How tragic!”” ”
“””So many people have been eliminated!”” ”
“””It’ll be my turn sooner or later!”” ”
The players’ eyes were fixed on the competition stage.
“After some players were eliminated, they came down looking disappointed and entered the spectating area. ”
There were quite a number of such players.
“In the end, most of the players were eliminated, leaving only the final 100! ”
“””The last 100 people are the true experts!”” ”
“””There’s no need to say more!”” ”
“””Whether it’s Singer Qiqi, Cloth Bag, Infinite Sin, Cloud Toppling who was outstanding in the first stage, or Bandit Sun...”” ”
“””They have advanced to the next stage!”” ”
...
“In the late afternoon, the Professional Competition entered the second stage. ”
The players could hardly move their legs anymore. But they kept their eyes glued to those on the competition stage.
“””It’s been almost two days...”” ”
“””How can they be so energetic without any rest?”” ”
The players pointed at the experts and exclaimed.
“Just then, the rules of the second stage appeared on the panel above. ”
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic would like to inform all players that forming teams is not allowed in the second stage. Only individual battles shall be held to determine the final five players!]
[Remaining players in the competition: 100!]
[Countdown time: 1 minute]
The time kept decreasing in front of the players.
59 seconds.
58 seconds.
...
“As time passed, they could sense that the upcoming battles would be even more devastating. ”
“Out of 100 people, the final five would be determined! ”
Those 100 people were not weaklings at all. They were all experts.
And many of those experts were evenly matched.
“They noticed that there was no time limit per round this time, fortunately. ”
That meant that one expert would definitely fall before a winner could be determined!
“””Let’s go!”” ”
“””The second stage of the competition!”” ”
The players below cheered.
“But to the players’ surprise, Jiang Bai stretched out his hand and pointed out a few people. ”
“””Infinite Sin, Singer Qiqi, Cloth Bag...”” ”
“””The three of you will face challenges from the other players!”” ”
“””If you defeat 30 people in a row, you will advance in the competition!”” ”
“When they heard that, everyone gasped. ”
F*ck!
Those three experts had to undergo a war of attrition?
How could they possibly withstand that?
“””Maise the God!”” ”
“””He’s simply brilliant!”” ”
“””He knows perfectly well that these three people are the best among the group. So he’s using this method to stimulate their potential!”” ”
“””I wonder if these three players will be able to cope with a war of attrition!”” ”
“While the players in Night City discussed, the world channel was in an uproar. ”
“Infinite Sin, Singer Qiqi and Cloth Bag had already become popular players! ”
“Therefore, those on the world channel paid close attention to matters concerning them. ”
“However, no one expected them to face a war of attrition in the second stage. ”
“At that moment, some enthusiastic players were running a live commentary. ”
“””The war of attrition is about to begin!”” ”
“””Everyone, who among Singer Qiqi, Cloth Bag and Infinite Sin do you think will be able to last till the end, defeat 30 people in a row and advance to the next stage?”” ”
“””Hold on! More unexpected things are happening on the scene...”” ”
“During the live commentary, something unexpected took place in Night City. ”
Jiang Bai pointed to the three players and spoke.
“””You may also choose not to accept the war of attrition. May I know what your decision is?”” ”
“When they heard Jiang Bai, the players understood. ”
The war of attrition was a new addition. It was to test and stimulate the potential of the three players.
“If the three players did not agree to it, they could follow the original rules! ”
“Just then, Infinite Sin nodded slightly to indicate his acceptance of the rules for the war of attrition. ”
“Beside him, Cloth Bag and Singer Qiqi also nodded in quick succession and said, “”We accept the war of attrition!”” ”
“After they said that, the spectating players and NPCs in Night City went wild. ”
