Chapter 61 Chapter 61 "The Props Competition Sincerely Invites You to Join"...
[Match successful, Opponent: Ruan Ruan and Wolf, Contracted Beast: Swift Wolf, Points: 75]
The moment the system prompt sounded, the body opposite him completely froze, and a tall and thin girl appeared. Beside her was a giant wolf with gray hair and sharp eyes crouching, baring its teeth to reveal its sharp white teeth, and a low, threatening roar came from its throat.
Jiang Qing quickly scanned the information provided by the system: Zhang Ruanfei, a third-year student, a ninth-level mortal Wind Wolf, and a second-level Earth-level Beastmaster.
All her points were earned from fighting and training in the past month. She must have been training outside the school and only recently returned to school.
The Wind Wolf's skill points are mainly in speed.
While Jiang Qing was looking at Zhang Ruanfei, Zhang Ruanfei was also looking at her.
The moment she saw Jiang Qing and Zhu Tianba, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "White-haired scaly pig?"
The rating is so low.
But the landing channel on the other side is the internal equipment of the school guard team, which is generally only available to members of the school guard team. This means that her opponent today is a member of the school guard team.
Zhang Ruanfei first ruled out using connections.
It is well known that the reason why the school guard has always been so authoritative in the hearts of students is undoubtedly because it is impartial and treats everyone equally.
Zhang Ruanfei thought again that the opponent had changed the level.
She quickly rejected the idea.
Since he had doubts about his opponent's strength, Zhang Ruanfei had to be careful and vigilant.
[No money for food vs. Ruan Ruan and Wolf, the battle begins. ]
The system's electronic voice began the selection process without any emotion.
The next moment, the Gale Wolf instantly turned into a green afterimage, and its sharp claws made a sound of breaking through the air and rushed straight towards Zhu Tianba's face.
It was so fast that it arrived almost in the blink of an eye.
"Walk to the left, shock." When Jiang Qing's voice reached Zhu Tianba's mind, Zhu Tianba had already turned sideways and released an earth-shaking sound.
With it as the center, the ground rolled like waves in an instant. The strong shock wave caused the Wind Wolf's body to suddenly stagnate and its movements to be deformed in an instant.
Zhang Ruanfei was quite experienced in combat, and he immediately commanded the Gale Wolf to take advantage of the momentum and roll over. The Gale Wolf opened its mouth and a compressed wind bullet shot out from it.
"Space folding, short distance, five meters to the right." Zhu Tianba responded calmly.
Jiang Qing only felt that the scene in front of her eyes twisted slightly, and the next second, she and Zhu Tianba appeared on the side and rear of the wind bullet's trajectory. The wind bullet brushed past the position where they had just stood and hit the ground behind them, exploding a piece of simulated rubble.
Zhang Ruanfei's pupils suddenly shrank: "Spatial ability?"
She finally understood where her opponent's confidence came from.
Although the Gale Wolf has an advantage in speed, it is not the top one after all.
"Wolf Shadow Clone." Zhang Ruanfei immediately changed his strategy and gave orders to the Gale Wolf.
The Gale Wolf howled loudly, and its figure became blurred. In an instant, it split into three almost identical wolf shadows, which pounced on Zhu Tianba from different directions at the same time, making it difficult to tell the real one from the fake one.
"Sense the wind direction, the real body is behind." Jiang Qing made a quick judgment.
Although Zhu Tianba did not need her reminder, his suppression and dodge skills were enough for him to avoid the attacks of the Gale Wolf.
Zhu Tianba's bristles move without wind and are extremely sensitive to the flow of surrounding air.
Zhu Tianba dodged while saying to Jiang Qing, "Don't bother."
A silver light flashed in its amber eyes, and the small space rippled like water waves. The three wolf shadows that pounced on it instantly seemed to crash into an invisible quagmire, and their movements became extremely slow and distorted, especially the real body behind the left side.
There was even an anthropomorphic look of astonishment and struggle on Wind Wolf's face.
Jiang Qing's mind moved, and his eyes fell on Jifeng Langzhen.
Zhu Tianba immediately understood what he meant, and his huge body showed amazing agility. He rushed in front of the real body in an instant, and suddenly thrust forward with his forehead covered with a faint white light.
"Bang--"
A dull thud was heard.
The Wind Wolf howled miserably as it was knocked backwards by a blow containing the force of spatial vibration. It slammed heavily into the wall of the arena and dissipated in light and electricity. The other two clones were also destroyed immediately.
[The battle is over. Congratulations to 'No Money to Eat' for winning.]
[Points +5, Current Points: 85]
Two consecutive prompt sounds rang in Jiang Qing's ears.
Zhu Tianba retreated back to Jiang Qing's side. Jiang Qing looked up at the man and the wolf who were still in the scene opposite him.
[Battle calculation completed, returning to the main city. Your remaining training time for today is: 02:39:40. Do you want to continue to the next game?]
Just as Jiang Qing was about to make a choice, the system suddenly popped up another window.
[Entertainment mode is now open, and the "Props Competition" sincerely invites you to join. Do you choose to enter?]
Jiang Qing was so quick that he couldn't stop himself and clicked directly into the new link.
The scene changed and I found myself in a huge silver space full of futuristic technology.
There are countless light screens floating around, on which various strange "prop competition" battle scenes are played in real time.
There were beastmasters riding fire-breathing mechanical dragons, spirit pets equipped with floating turrets, and even battles where the environment suddenly flipped gravity or filled with poisonous fog...
"Is this a prop competition?" Jiang Qing became very curious.
Zhu Tianba also tilted his head back, his eyes wide open as he looked at the fancy equipment and environment on the screen, and a puzzled sound of "Kang Kang?" came out of his throat.
Fortunately, the competition does not start immediately after entering the new scene. Trainers who enter the entertainment mode will be assigned to the preparation area. The preparation area can accommodate hundreds of contestants at the same time. If you currently have no intention of playing a game, you can freely choose to watch other people's games, or exit the preparation area to rest, but this will also occupy the daily training routine. Trainers can choose freely.
Jiang Qing did not quit, but watched a few games. Coincidentally, she saw [Ruan Ruan and Lang] from the previous game again. She must have been pulled by the system. In order not to waste training time, she simply started directly.
Prop competition is a very interesting new training method. She watched several games and found that the model is indeed novel.
Victory or defeat no longer depends on the strength of the beastmaster and the spirit pet itself. Those "props" that appear randomly or require several copies to be purchased can change the situation in an instant.
After watching several games in a row, Jiang Qing felt itchy and finally decided to give it a try.
then--
Jiang Qing immediately took action. She clicked on the "Props Mall" interface and prepared to see what good things were there.
As a result, when I saw it, I almost felt dizzy.
[Disposable Micro Particle Shield (applicable to pets, can withstand one attack), required points: 50]
[Environmental Disruptor (Small Range Random Debuff), Required Points: 80]
[High-speed propulsion wing (temporarily increases speed significantly), required points: 100]
......
The prices marked below the dazzling array of props made Jiang Qing feel like a poor person who had just moved to the city.
She looked down at the only 85 points in her account, then looked at Zhu Tianba, who was curiously looking at the virtual light screen with his nose at his feet, as if studying which prop was more delicious, and sighed deeply.
"Tianba, it seems we can only get the most basic ones for free." Jiang Qing slid through the list and finally found the free area at the bottom.
There are very few props in the free area, and the style of the art is unique:
[A resilient-looking cane (maybe it can be used as a whip?)]: Free.
[A handful of fresh mud (for throwing, might it interfere with vision?)]: Free.
[A shiny stone (which seems to have no other use except shining)]: Free.
[Temporary enhanced rations (random flavor, unknown effect, maybe diarrhea?)]: Free.
Jiang Qing: “…” What the hell is this!
No wonder it's free.
She even wondered if these props would have the opposite effect after use.
But the poor have no choice.
Following the principle of "don't miss out on something if it's not yours", Jiang Qing stuffed all four free props into his temporary prop column.
Mosquito legs are meat too!
After she was ready, she began to screen her opponents.
He scanned the preparation list and quickly locked onto an ID.
A pot of wine among flowers
This name sounds elegant and pleasant, revealing a sense of indifference like a free and unrestrained cloud and wild crane. I guess he must be an opponent with a gentle personality who doesn't like to fight, right?
The pressure should be less when dealing with such an opponent.
When it came to the challenge points, she hesitated.
The rules of the prop game are that you can earn points if you win, but they will be deducted if you lose. It is equivalent to deducting a part of the points from your account to participate in the competition, and all the points will belong to the other party if you lose.
The basic custom points were 10, twice as high as the normal training match. After careful consideration, she filled in 8 points.
Just as I was about to confirm, my fingers paused, thinking about the unreliability of those free props and that this was my first time playing. What if I lost? I gritted my teeth, deleted it again, and finally filled it in carefully...
5 points.
"That's it." Jiang Qing muttered softly, as if this could give himself courage, and then pressed the confirm button.
Points are quite important, and she doesn't want to waste them all on the prop competition.
suddenly--
The system prompt pops up: [Challenge rejected. It has been detected that you are carrying the item "Temporary Enhanced Rations", which requires your pet to consume before it (possibly) takes effect. Please purchase or select the "Use" service for your pet before initiating the challenge.]
Jiang Qing: “???”
She clicked on the details and found a line of small print in the corner: "Prop Usage Service Fee: 10 points per game (make sure the props are used correctly and are effective. If they cannot be used due to resistance from the pet, etc., the fee will not be refunded)."
...What a rigged match! They're charging a service fee for free items? And this service fee is even higher than her bet!
Jiang Qing was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and decisively removed the crappy "temporary enhanced rations" from the props column.
The remaining vines, mud and shiny stones should be fine, right?
She challenged [A Pot of Wine Among Flowers] again.
This time the system passed.
The challenge request was issued, and Jiang Qing waited a little nervously.
On the other side, the image of "A Pot of Wine Among Flowers" condensed into a familiar figure. Luo Zhen had been recuperating from his injuries for a while since losing to Jiang Qing in the last guard team selection competition. After returning to school, he had been looking for an opportunity to seek revenge on Jiang Qing, but he never found one.
With all the third-year students having to participate in the five-college selection, his schedule is even more packed.
Luo Zhen's ID was also changed after that incident, which is in stark contrast to his image.
He was yawning out of boredom when he saw the challenge application suddenly pop up and the eye-catching "Challenge Points: 1". He was stunned for a moment and then sneered.
"One point? Which poor newbie is here to experience life?" He wanted to refuse outright, but when he saw the opponent's ID, "No money for food," combined with the stingy 1 point, he suddenly felt it was interesting. "Okay, I'll play with you for a while, just to kill time."
He accepted the challenge.
Jiang Qing saw a flash of light before his eyes, and was instantly teleported into a random battle scene.
A dense electronic jungle.
Zhu Tianba immediately stood in front of her vigilantly. The large virtual trees were lush and leafy, the ground was covered with tangled roots and soft moss, the light was dim, and the atmosphere was tense.
Just as Jiang Qing was about to order Zhu Tianba to take the initiative, he saw from afar a fire-breathing beast with shiny hair and fierce eyes next to the beastmaster with the ID [A Pot of Wine Among Flowers]. It growled, opened its mouth wide, and spewed out a stream of flames.
This doesn’t look “elegant and leisurely” at all!
