"The World's Strongest Freshman Competition? What is that?"
Ye Gubai received this message on his phone after returning to his room.
Ye Gubai carefully read the announcement issued by the academy.
———
Tianlong Academy Announcement:
The annual global competition for the strongest freshmen is about to begin, starting on the 1st of next month.
The annual competition tests the strength of each country's emerging nation.
The winner can receive generous rewards, such as hard-to-obtain epic weapons.
In particular, this year's competition has updated its rewards, and all participants will receive a reward.
Those with high scores can even obtain mythical-level selectable items.
Please note that this reward comes from the blessings of Earth.
Assuming the reward is equipment, both its attributes and effects will be much stronger than those dropped from monster dungeons.
So, dear new students, please make the most of the rest of this month.
We will strive to achieve good results and win glory for our country.

After reading the announcement, Ye Gubai muttered to himself.
"Global Freshman Competition? Does that mean competing against freshmen from all over the world?"
"A points system where those with higher scores can get a mythical item of their choice?"
"Looking at it this way, it's not bad. I can participate and win a prize."
"I just don't know how high the level of this mythical item can be selected."
After closing the announcement page, Ye Gubai also saw another notice.
This is also a global comparison, but the information is irrelevant to him.
It is a global competition for returning students, and the requirement to participate is that you have been enrolled for three years.
"New students enroll once, and after three years, they can participate in the global competition twice during their academic career."
"That's pretty good. After reading the reward rules, even those who are last in the rankings will receive a participation prize. That's quite considerate."
Ye Gubai closed the rules page and looked at the background of the Global Strongest Freshman Competition.
After examining it carefully, he also learned about the origin of this thing.
———
The competition arose from an event that occurred ten years ago.
At the time, Japan illegally discharged nuclear wastewater, which, perhaps as divine retribution, caused the eruption of the active volcano, Mt. Qoji.
That night, the capital of the Sakura Kingdom, DJ, was destroyed by lava, and many Sakura people perished.
When natural disasters strike, countries around the world step in to help.
Out of humanitarian considerations, the Tianlong Empire also dispatched a team to provide assistance.
However, during the rescue operation, the international rescue team discovered a mysterious, suspended crystal at the crater.
The crystals have strange patterns and shimmer with a peculiar brilliance.
Logically speaking, this thing should most likely come from dungeons.
Instead of being swept away by a volcanic eruption like we are now.
Seeing the mysterious crystal, the rescue team members instinctively ignored the little cherry blossom.
They completely ignored the accusations from the Sakura people.
The captain of the Flying Eagle Empire's rescue team identified the mysterious crystal using special methods.
The conclusion reached stunned everyone present.
"This is a global competition module, with a total of 99 modules."
"As long as you possess one of these copies, you can initiate a global competition when conditions permit."
"The winner will receive a generous reward."
Although the Flying Eagle Rescue Captain did not fully explain the effects, his few simple words left everyone present with much to ponder.
Clearly, this global competition module is a good thing.
Its birth was most likely a blessing from Earth.
It is a precious treasure that the blue planet has gathered for the world through its own power.
Heaven and earth gave birth to it, bringing blessings to all directions.
It is used to earn rewards for people, enhance their own strength, and fight against the invasion of monsters.
The rescue teams were the best in their respective countries, and they quickly realized this.
There are only 99 copies of the treasure, and if each country receives one copy, it can only be supplied to a maximum of 99 countries.
It's important to know that there are a total of three hundred countries on Earth!
(Blue Star is very large, several times the size of Ye Gubai's original Earth.)
There are only 99 treasures available, which is clearly not enough to go around.
When a reasonable allocation is impossible, only one outcome will occur!
Shoot and rob!
Thus began the conflict between the rescue teams from various countries!
In this battle, DJ, the capital of the Sakura Kingdom, was completely destroyed.
Only half of the reason DJ destroyed the device was to steal the treasure.
The other half, however, was deliberately venting their anger.
There were too many people coming to help, and some of the rescue teams knew they were not strong enough to snatch the treasure.
He simply proceeded to vandalize buildings in Japan to vent his frustration.
Although discerning people could see through these people's intentions, no one stopped them.
Who allowed Japan to secretly discharge nuclear wastewater?
Serves you right!
This battle completely stunned the Japanese.
They appealed to the world for help, asking everyone to help them save the capital city DJ.
Unexpectedly, a pack of wolves arrived?
...
———
"The background of this story is quite interesting, and it was done very well."
Ye Gubai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had looked into the DJ scene in Japan, but since the conflict ten years ago, DJs had completely disappeared.
When the Sakura Kingdom later wanted to rebuild DJ, the monster dungeon area appeared directly there.
Due to the large-scale evacuation, there was insufficient manpower to promptly resist the arrival of the monster-infested area.
This caused the DJ to completely succumb, turning the place into a paradise for monsters.
"Serves you right."
Ye Gubai smiled, stopped thinking about these things, and turned to plan the next steps.
There are only two weeks left until the global competition for the strongest freshmen.
Specifically, there are 17 days left in this month.
"17 days should be enough."
You'll gain even more experience from challenging the King-level dungeons later on.
If you work continuously, you have plenty of time to level up every 3 days.
You might even have two days left to do other things.
If you can reach level 30 in 15 days, you can use the remaining 2 days.
Run through the no-experience mode to quickly obtain new top-tier equipment.
This way, we can have a greater chance of winning the global competition for the strongest freshmen.
Ding-dong!
The phone suddenly rang; it was a message from Zi Yue Ru.
Ye Gubai picked it up and examined it, discovering that the contents were related to the competition.
———
Zi Yue Ru: The announcement for the global strongest freshman competition has been released, have you seen it?
Ye Gubai: I've seen it.
Zi Yue Ru: The specific rules for the competition will be released at the end of the month.
Zi Yue Ru: If the rules of previous editions are followed, it is very likely that it will be a one-on-one duel.
Ye Gubai: Oh.
Zi Yue Ru: ...
Zi Yue Ru: However, my family said that the rewards have changed this time, and the rules may also be changed.
Ye Gubai: Hmm, thanks for reminding me.
Zi Yue Ru: Um, what I meant was, if the rules change and it becomes a team mode, can I team up with you?
Ye Gubai: Sure, as long as there's a reward.
Zi Yue Ru: ...
