Chapter 146 The Gold Medal Arena

The craftsmanship of this Icefield Token is quite in line with the style of this arena.

Its exterior is silver with a snowflake pattern, and it feels cold to the touch, making it feel less like a token and more like holding a block of ice in your hand.

Shen Jue had no choice but to wear warm gloves and carry the token.

After thinking it over, he prepared several more sets of top-quality cold-weather clothing for himself, along with the Frost Armor and various kinds of hot water that had been heated in the space.

There were also food vouchers prepared in advance.

Oh my god, she really appreciates the card maker who invented the food card.

What a genius! Combining hot, delicious food with card-making capabilities, all you need to do is tap to use it.

You can get hot and delicious food from the food card.

Shen Juejue made a lot of food cards, which are very convenient to carry and can be used anytime.

Furthermore, the food scraps can be recycled back into the food card after you finish eating it, which is a great advantage.

Everything is ready.

Shen Jue armed himself from head to toe.

I'm not sure what the situation is like at the gold medal competition, so just in case, I'm putting this on first.

She is quite sensitive to cold.

[Use the Icefield Token to enter the Gold Rush Arena.]

With a thought, the Icefield Token in his hand floated up.

It gleamed faintly with a cold light, and the blue light it released enveloped Shen Jue.

When Shen Jue opened his eyes again, he found himself on a vast, boundless ice field.

Behind it are undulating, endless glaciers.

Oh ho, if you encounter a player in this arena, the only options are to become invisible or hide behind a glacier.

There was virtually nowhere else to hide; there was nowhere to conceal oneself.

A true head-on confrontation.

Upon entering the arena, the game system's voice immediately sounded.

Congratulations on successfully entering the gold medal competition! What role did you choose?

Two identity choices were presented to Shen Jue.

One is a hunter. The other is a guardian.

A hunter can earn 500 gold by slaying an Ice Giant. (The hunter must attack the Ice Giant at least once per hour.)

As for the Guardian, protecting a giant ice beast will earn you 800 gold.

After a moment's thought, Shen Jue asked a question.

Can I have both identities?

Game System: ...

The game system fell silent briefly. [You can only choose one identity.]

Alright. Since he could only choose one identity, Shen Jue chose the Guardian identity.

Poor beasts, she will be the one to protect them from now on.

As Shen Jue's thoughts wandered, he realized that killing was an easy thing to do, but protecting was definitely more difficult than killing.

Occasionally rescuing NPCs in a dungeon can be a unique experience.

[Faction established. Your role is Guardian. Protect the Icefield Behemoths that are not being attacked by hunters. 100 gold per hour.]

Your opposing faction is the Hunters. Do your best to prevent the Hunters from hunting the Iceborne Behemoth. Successfully preventing the Hunters from hunting the Iceborne Behemoth will earn you 800 gold.

Next, we will provide you with real-time updates on the location of the giant monsters across the entire ice plains map, as well as the information security situation.

Wow, the dungeon has been upgraded! Wow, that's high-tech!

The transparent panel, visible only to Shen Jue, displays large green markers for various Icefield behemoths on the map.

This glacier has several types of terrain: one is an endless ice field, another is a valley glacier with complex terrain, and the third is a glacier cave that may collapse at any time.

I read the introduction to the gold medal competition.

The gold medal competition venue is open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM; entry is prohibited at other times.

Each arena has 300 Ice Giants, 300 Hunter players, and 300 Guardian players.

There is also a real-time leaderboard for the gold medal competition that runs for three months.

This leaderboard records player behavior over three months in real time.

Players who choose the Guardian role have two options. One is relatively lucky, where no Hunter players attack, in which case the Guardian receives a guaranteed 100 gold coins every hour.

The arena is open for 14 hours a day, guaranteeing at least 1400 gold per day, but this method is full of uncertainties.

Another approach is to abandon the strategy of camping and instead switch to offense, directly blocking hunter players from attacking the Iceborne Behemoth. Success will earn you 800 gold, while failure will result in losing even the guaranteed gold.

Shen Jue also checked the exchange shop at the gold medal arena.

A pair of warm socks costs 3,000 gold, a warm top costs 5,000 gold, and a warm robe costs 10,000 gold.

Standard winter gear, 20,000 gold.

Medium-grade cold-weather suit, 40,000 gold.

Advanced cold-weather suit, 60,000 gold.

Premium cold-weather suit, 100,000 gold.

Good heavens!
