[Endless Killing: My Fireball has a bug! – Chapter 748: Hive Trial Field! (1/2)]
From the perspective of the Central Auditorium’s audience area, the contestants were put into oval game consoles like Conan the Movie: The Phantom of Baker Street.
But the difference is——
Four huge screens appeared on the four sides of the player area.
Just like a live broadcast, it shows the players’ current competition situation in the virtual world.
Because the game has just begun.
The live broadcast content on all four screens was the same, showing the specific rules of this competition:
【Welcome all contestants to the “Final Trial Field”! 】
【Total number of participants: 10,086. 】
[The second round of qualified players, total: 500]
[The points ranking list will show the top 500 points rankings in real time. ]
【Depending on the evaluation of the contestants by the judges, mentors, and instructors, all contestants will have different initial scores.】
[Initial first place: Xu Wenjian, initial points: 2000. ]
[Initial 500th place: Jiang Huai, initial points: 500. ]
[The remaining ordinary players who are not favored by the judges will have an initial score of only 200. ]
【Dear players, please do not complain about injustice. 】
【Because this is like reincarnation. 】
[When you were born into this world, the initial resources you had were originally unequal.]
[In the next three hours, you can change this “injustice” through your own efforts. ]
[The following is an introduction to the trial rules——]
[The trial space you are in is composed of hundreds of billions of hexagonal rooms, referred to as the honeycomb trial space. ]
[Each hexagonal room has six faces, namely upper left, upper middle, upper right, lower left, lower middle, and lower right, corresponding to six ‘doors’.]
【Players can choose to open doors in different directions and explore different honeycomb rooms. 】
[Each time you open the door of a honeycomb room, you need to pay a certain amount of points. 】
[There are two main ways to earn points——]
[The first method is to spin the various colored wheels hidden in the room and kill the creatures on the wheels to earn points.]
[The second way is to kill other players and take away all their points.]
【The final right of interpretation of this competition belongs to the Ministry of Education.】
[For more trial details, please explore by yourself. ]
【Wish all players a happy trial! 】
As the first half trial rules were announced, various discussions immediately emerged in the audience area:
“You have to pay points to explore the Hive rooms? It costs at least 1 point to open a door, right? Then those players who start with only 200 points can only explore 200 rooms, right?”
“I’m not that unlucky, am I? I didn’t earn any points after exploring 200 rooms?”
“No! Look, someone has already started to move! You have to pay points to open the door once. It’s not 1 point, but 10 points!”
“10 points! So, those who start with 200 points can only explore 20 rooms if they don’t gain points as quickly as possible!”
“If you calculate it this way, maybe someone really has used up all their points and is trapped to death in a room!”
“People like that are either not strong enough or just plain unlucky! I think sometimes luck is also a kind of strength!”
“Yes! Luck! I heard that starting from 2011, the Ministry of Education will be carrying out reforms! In the future, when testing students, it will not only focus on their abilities, but also their luck!”
“I’ve heard that, too! I heard that the assessments in the Great Thousand Secret Realm also depend on luck!”
“So in this competition, maybe someone really made it to the top 500 purely by luck?”
The audience watched the lively discussions of the various school principals, teachers and other characters about the trial.
Lin Chuan, who was sitting in the hexagonal honeycomb room, thought that paying points to book a room was a reasonable thing.
Otherwise…
If there is no cost in exploring the room, then those top-level strong men can go on a killing spree in this honeycomb space!
For example, Lin Chuan.
If there were no restrictions, he could easily roam around and kill all the students in Daqian College, leaving none of them in the top 500.
However, nowadays, it might be difficult to go around killing people.
Lin Chuan first looked around the hexagonal space where he was.
Each side of the hexagon here is about five meters.
In this large space is a flat lawn like a camping site.
There was grass everywhere, not even a tree to be seen.
With his good eyesight, he looked around and found neither the danger nor the turntable mentioned in the rules.
So Lin Chuan took the time to look at the ranking list again.
At this time, the first place had changed from Xu Wenjian to him.
The original first place was Xu Wenjian, but he has dropped to fifth place.
Xu Wenjian’s score has also increased from 2000 points to 1900 points.
At this time, the audience in the real world also quickly discovered the clues, and someone immediately discussed –
“That’s weird! Didn’t they just say that it only costs 10 points to open the door of the honeycomb room? Why did it cost Xu Wenjian 100 points to open the door?!”
“I understand! This should be a restriction for top players!”
“Although Xu Wenjian has a high initial score, the points he has to pay to open a door are also higher! It is directly ten times that of other players!”
“After all the calculations, his initial points are only enough for him to open the door 20 times!”
“From this perspective, this trial is actually fair!”
“Please! This is not fair to Xu Wenjian at all! He has to pay 100 points to open a door! It is ten times more than others! This means that his power will be far less than others! If his luck is worse, he might be trapped in a room and eliminated!”
“Haha! Luck is a sign of strength! If he is really trapped to death, it is just his bad luck!”
As always, the butt determines where the head goes.
The teachers and students from Daqian College naturally hope to see Xu Wenjian fail.
The teachers and students of Yuyuan College naturally felt that Xu Wenjian was treated unfairly.
Being in the trial space, Lin Chuan naturally couldn’t listen to the discussions of the audience.
But when he pushed one of the doors, he immediately discovered the clue.
His initial points were the same as Xu Wenjian’s, also 2000 points.
When he put his hand on the door on the “upper left” position, he got a prompt:
[Ding! Do you want to spend 100 points to open this door? ]
【whether】
One hundred points are enough to open the door once?
For those who only have 200 points, aren’t they only able to book two rooms initially?
What if there are no turntables in the two rooms and no points are earned? Wouldn’t we be trapped every minute?
Therefore, even without listening to the discussion in the audience area, Lin Chuan used his brain a little and quickly guessed it –
For those who initially only have 200 points, the cost of opening the door once should be lower.
If I’m not mistaken, it should only take about 10 minutes.
This setting is obviously also a restriction for top players.
It is still to prevent the top players from killing each other and eliminating the seed players who may enter the top 500 in the future.
Lin Chuan only thought about it briefly and responded “yes” to the prompt just now.
Then, without any sight of a door opening, he flashed into another hexagonal space.
The side length of the hexagon is still about five meters.
The difference is that it was a lawn just now, but now the environment looks like a supermarket.
There are several rows of shelves with various goods on them.
Shower gel, shampoo, facial cleanser, toothpaste…
A few steps further, there are stationery.
On the shelf in the stationery section, he quickly found a palm-sized purple turntable.
At this time, the audience soon began to discuss:
“Look! This Lin Chuan! He also found the turntable!”
