Su Lin nodded, glanced at the nearby passages, and randomly chose one to walk into.
Xiao Linlin skipped along, and the two of them, one big and one small, disappeared through the gate amidst the prying eyes of the crowd.
......
Beyond the new passage lies a long, golden tunnel.
Su Lin led Xiao Linlin through the tunnel, pushed open a new metal door, and was immediately met with the enormous roar of the surging crowd!
Su Lin looked up and saw a giant domed arena. He was below it, and above and around him were countless figures, but he couldn't make them out clearly, and he didn't even know if they were human.
All you could hear were them cheering, jumping for joy, and screaming excitedly.
"arena?"
Xiao Linlin covered her ears, looked around at her surroundings, and asked in surprise, but also with a hint of excitement: "Is this the arena for the Strength Badge competition?"
"Wow, my brother is going to participate as a fighter!"
Xiao Linlin smiled happily, looking forward to seeing Su Lin's valiant demeanor.
Su Lin's gaze swept over the audience in the stands, and she frowned as she asked, "Linlin, do you think they are human?"
"no."
Xiao Linlin asserted immediately: "The mechanism is based on different worlds for competition. The universe is so vast that it is impossible for only one advanced species like humans to exist."
"They are not human, but in their eyes, we are not human either."
"Mechanisms can modify human cognition and emotions, and they can certainly do the same to humans."
Xiao Linlin pursed her lips: "In short, we're all just toys of the machine."
"Um."
Su Lin nodded without asking any further questions; the new rules information had already appeared before his eyes.
The stage is set; the competition for the "Badge of Strength" has begun.
[The current badge competition rules are now being announced:]
1. Randomly wait for 1-10 survivors to enter the Badge Arena and participate in the competition as arena players.
2. Opponents are randomly matched; they may be survivors or non-survivors, and the strength of the enemies is unknown.
3. Killing an enemy allows you to start the next match or leave at any time; being killed by an enemy eliminates you from the game.
4. A random number of enemies contain a strength badge; if a survivor dies, all obtained badges are stolen by the enemies.
5. Cheating is allowed.
......
The rules are not difficult to understand and still follow the conventions of the mechanism: the rules of the test are different depending on the badge.
Of course, participants can break the rules at any time, if they can.
【Would you like to start a new matchmaking session?】
Your companions will be considered "assistants" and will participate in the competition together.
A notification appeared before Su Lin's eyes. He pondered for a moment and then made a request: "My attendants will not participate in the competition; they will only observe."
[Followers are forced to participate in the competition, sharing life and death with their masters.]
The mechanism's response was cold, rejecting Su Lin's request.
"Oh no! I miscalculated!"
"Brother, will I be killed?"
Xiao Linlin clutched her chest, looking at Su Lin in alarm. Su Lin helplessly flicked her nose: "Of course not."
"whee."
Xiao Linlin smiled and linked her little finger with Su Lin's, watching the man confirm the start of the new match: "Let's begin. Keep matching until I get the badge, no need to remind me again."
[Matching opponents...]
[Match Successful: S-Rank Creature - Modo Giant Fish!]
As the information prompt appeared.
"boom!!"
The steel gate behind Su Lin crashed down, and immediately afterward, the iron gate opposite the huge circular arena slowly rose, reaching its maximum height of 100 meters!
A dark shadow was slowly emerging from within.
It was a dark, fleshy mass that was squeezed little by little until it slid out of the door with a "pop," its massive body stretching out and fully exposed to the audience.
This is a monster so huge it's like a mountain peak. It resembles a fish, but it has no scales and its surface is as smooth as a mirror. It is over 100 meters tall and nearly 500 meters long!
Despite the absence of sea around it, it still floated in mid-air, as if swimming freely in the water, its body twisting and turning, revealing a glint of sharp, cold light.
Su Lin could see it clearly; they were thick, tree-like spikes, faintly visible in the gaps between the fish's flesh and blood.
"A strange creature, I wonder if it tastes good..."
As Xiao Linlin muttered to herself, the moment the big fish appeared, the audience in the stands erupted in an even louder and more spectacular wave of screams, becoming increasingly excited and frenzied!
at the same time.
Xiao Linlin also heard a clear voice suddenly ring out around her. The voice was not loud, but it clearly suppressed the sound of the waves in the stands and could be understood by Xiao Linlin.
"Welcome to the Colosseum of the Labia Galaxy!"
“Our new challenger is sponsored by a mysterious figure… Oh, look! He’s a human!”
"My God, it's been ten thousand years since a human gladiator has appeared here! A cunning and greedy race, how dare they stand on our stage!"
"Oh, no, no, no, don't lose your spirits! Let the joy continue, I promise... this guy is just an appetizer!"
The mysterious voice sounded like a passionate man, but Xiao Linlin was certain it wasn't human; it was just a mechanism that allowed her to understand the words.
Amid the high spirits and excitement of the audience in the stands, some unusual voices emerged, with waves of boos that seemed to be directed at Su Lin.
The host was still shouting and explaining why humans were standing there, refusing to let his passion dissipate, and he kept emphasizing something.
