It's worth mentioning...

This system notification resounded in the ears of all civilizations throughout the entire Lesser Thousand Worlds of 2012.

In other words, on the surface...

It's a hunting competition between four officially civilized teams, but from another perspective...

Isn't this also a sniping attack by all the civilizations of the entire 2012 Minor World against the four officially participating civilizations?

Of course, there are also those who are more relaxed...

...........

The pinnacle of oil.

Sesame oil civilization, soy sauce civilization, olive oil civilization, sunflower seed oil civilization.

Representatives from the four civilizations gathered, all wearing smiling, happy expressions.

"Hehehe..."

"Once again, we have successfully escaped the once-in-ten-thousand-years civilization competition. Of the civilizations that survive, only one in ten remains."

"Indeed, only those leeks that can never be harvested can live the longest."

"As for becoming the dominant civilization..."

"Ha! After fighting the Lesser Thousand Worlds, we'll fight the Middle Thousand Worlds, and after that, we'll fight the Greater Thousand Worlds. We'll also have to fight the Cosmic Union Tournament. Only someone with a brain would keep fighting like this."

"Yeah, yeah, so what if we surrender? So what if we lose a few resources? What does that matter compared to the destruction of an entire civilization?"

"Ten thousand years! Even if we lose a lot of resources, we can make up for it. What's there to be reluctant about?"

"That's right, surrendering is the only way to minimize losses and avoid risks."

"Let them fight it out, let's keep refining oil!"

"Yes, oil refining!!"

..................................

The ancestral home of the Feng family.

A group of people stared at Li Qingyu, wide-eyed.

a long time.

Plum Blossom Green clapped his hands.

"Never mind, it's late, I should go to sleep."

"Yeah, yeah, let's go to sleep. This lousy competition doesn't even have a venue. It's so lame." Wu Yingying put her arm around Mei Hua Lü's shoulder and left affectionately.

"Well, Grandpa, I'm sleepy too. Qingyu, you should go to sleep early too. As for the points, we'll all help you catch them at the big meeting tomorrow."

Feng Qige waved her hand and turned to leave as well.

Immediately afterwards, the maids and widows, who had been in high spirits, also left.

Li Qingyu was also speechless.

Damn it...

The seventh universe system is stingy.

But at least the Civilization Competition has a dedicated competition venue, a rest area for the contestants, and even a live broadcast.

As a result, they arrived in the Ninth Universe...

All you posted was the competition rules, nothing else?

Amidst my reflections.

Li Qingyu casually opened the war map provided by the system.

Soon, a semi-transparent holographic map appeared before Li Qingyu's eyes.

This map shows the 2012th Lesser Thousand World, a miniature of the entire World Ocean, and the locations of various civilizations.

To Li Qingyu's surprise...

The map only marks the civilization and whether or not the Daoist is present.

However, the exact location of Daozi was not marked...

"Does the system mean to play hide-and-seek, or to eliminate all threats?" Li Qingyu muttered to himself.

You know what...

There are quite a few civilizations within the entire 2012 Minor World.

Li Qingyu was too lazy to go into details.

However, Li Qingyu did roughly count the civilizations marked as possessing Daozi.

Nearly a hundred!!

The closest civilization to Li Qingyu was the Goblin Civilization.

"What a coincidence..."

"So, if we just bomb the goblin civilization again, the first match will be over?"

Li Qingyu found it somewhat amusing.

While surprised that the goblin civilization had survived the bombardment of the psionic mushroom bombs, Li Qingyu didn't believe they could withstand a second one.

However, just as Li Qingyu was about to close the war map and go back to his room to sleep...

Tomorrow, when considering whether or not to fry it...

Li Qingyu suddenly realized....

In the upper right corner of the war map, there is an ancient-looking Chinese character for "Shang" (商).

Li Qingyu tentatively nodded.

Suddenly, the holographic map in front of me changed to look like the item shop in the game.

And at the very top of the item shop.

It displays a commemorative Dragon Sniper rifle that is entirely gold and engraved with a golden dragon pattern.

The bottom right corner of the Dragon Sniper rifle indicates a 60% discount today; the original price was 100 points, but today it's only 69 points.

"Well...."

"It's really turned into a game now..."

Li Qingyu tried clicking on the details of the Dragon Sniper rifle.

It contains only two simple sentences of introduction.

One shot blasts through the continent, two shots blast through the world, three shots annihilate everything.

The premise is that all three shots are fired from the same spot.

Of course, whether the description is exaggerated or not is secondary. The main thing is... Li Qingyu could clearly feel that the souvenir Dragon Sniper rifle in this shop contained 100% fragments of the Heavenly Dao!

This is also an imperial artifact containing fragments of the Heavenly Dao!

"No wonder..."

"With this shop around, any civilization that considers itself strong will definitely not choose to end the game prematurely."

"The civilizations that officially participate are basically confident; those that lack confidence would have surrendered long ago, just like those few oily ones."

Li Qingyu withdrew from the introduction of the Dragon Sniper rifle.

Continue scrolling down to look at the points shop.

Then I realized that the Dragon Lore wasn't the most expensive item; the most expensive was a basketball, which cost 1,000 points and wasn't discounted!

Damn it....

Li Qingyu was speechless.

Even if you collect all the Dao points from the entire 2012 Lesser Thousand Dimensions, you probably still won't get a thousand points.

Displaying it in a store, isn't that ridiculous...?

Immediately, Li Qingyu became very interested and prepared to check the attributes of the basketball.

A Dragon Sniper rifle with 100 points can instantly kill everything.

This basketball with a thousand points, shouldn't it be blown out of proportion?

However, before Li Qingyu could even point, the object suddenly stopped.

Because of the open space above Li Qingyu's right.

A space with a radius of about two meters was covered with cracks, just like broken glass.

The scene illuminated by distant lights is also riddled with cracks, appearing precarious.

The next second.

BOOM!! ~

The crack broke.

It revealed a huge, dark, and deep void.

Inside the void, two yellow eyes suddenly lit up.

In an instant, a terrifying aura surged forth, causing Li Qingyu to narrow his eyes. Dark blood intent ignited around him, blocking the oppressive force inherent in this aura.

"Excellent! A contestant officially participating, five points earned!"

"If I save up a little more, I can buy a shapewear bodysuit! Oh my, I'm so excited!"

Listen to the sounds coming from inside the cave.

Li Qingyu suddenly realized.

Oh right....

The Ninth Universe System didn't say that you can only kill the Dao Children of your own world...
