Chapter 383: Can you defeat me in one second at the same level?
Lao Pi slept until ten o'clock today.
He had already planned it out.
The Zhoutian competition requires strategy!
Therefore, it is very important for the character to get the first victory!
Go in at 8 o'clock, it's the boss's world.
Going in at nine o'clock is the golden period for students.
What about going in at ten o'clock?
This is the time when busy office workers get up.
The combat effectiveness is generally low!
This is the best time for him!
And so he dragged it on until ten o'clock.
At ten o'clock, Lao Pi took a deep breath and picked up his phone.
“Let’s go!”
He clicked on the [Big Competition] interface with trembling hands.
The scene suddenly changed.
A huge and magnificent arena appeared before his eyes.
Clouds and mist rolled around the arena, and countless shadowy figures stood on all sides watching the fight.
Although it's just a special effect, the atmosphere makes people's heart beat faster instantly.
"Entry locked... Simulating rank matching..."
"The secrets of heaven are being arranged..."
"Comparing fate..."
"Match successful!"
The system prompts are flooding.
Screen switching,
Lao Pi's character was thrown into a huge arena.
The translucent light of the little man model flashed,
[Zhoutian Competition·First Round Begins]
[Entry locked: Morning bells and evening drums]
[Basic Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 7]
[Opponent's Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 7]
【Battle Mode: Best of Three】
Lao Pi was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, that's reasonable!"
"The cultivation levels are all the same!"
Soon, the comparison begins.
In the center of the arena, two little mannequins automatically faced each other.
The villain opposite was stepping on a ball of red flame, and with a wave of his hand, the sword light was like a rainbow.
Before Lao Pi's villain could even get into a stance, he was chopped away by a sword.
The system prompts are clear and concise:
You were killed
【First round failure】
Lao Pi stared at the screen for three seconds and was petrified on the spot. He suspected that he was dazzled.
He blinked and raised his hand to rub it, but the prompt box was still dazzlingly bright.
"...No, this little guy is animating so seriously, just to make me watch for a second?"
"Or an instant kill?"
"We are at the same level, can you defeat me in one second?"
"Didn't they say that this paid attack effect doesn't increase attack power?"
Lao Pi gnashed his teeth,
"Impossible! I calculated the time! Office workers will enter the scene at 10 o'clock, so their fighting capacity should be generally low!"
He wanted to say something, but the scene cut back to the ring.
After all, it’s just one entry, and he doesn’t have much room to maneuver!
[Start of the second round]
The opponent's villain brandished a sword and rushed over.
Circles of ripples spread out in the center of the arena, like stones thrown into the water.
Lao Pi's little man was directly knocked back three feet, and then his feet were empty and he was swept into the air.
“Wow wow wow wow wow…”
Lao Pi watched helplessly as his little man rose into the air like a rag doll hanging on a kite, and then fell.
The other villain immediately rushed over,
The long sword was held in the air, and the villain rolled to the ground and disappeared on the spot.
You were killed
【Second round failure】
[Competition Result: Failure]
The next second, the system prompt appeared again:
[Due to the defeat in the competition, the character will be randomly dropped]
[Entry Drop: Morning Bells and Evening Drums]
Lao Pi was completely confused.
“…Falling?!”
His eyes widened suddenly, and his face flushed red.
"No... I just lost two games and they even dropped my entry?!"
"I only have one entry! And you put it in randomly!"
Before he could recover,
The system thoughtfully provides a summary of the opponent's combat information:
【Opponent Information Disclosure】
Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 7
Number of visits: 5
Skills: [Xuanwu Body Protection Skills·Minor Success], [Buxu Body Skills (Basic Body Skills)]
Equipment: Red Flame Sword (Common Item)
Entry: [Spur of the moment] - When you draw your sword for the first time, your attack power increases by 30%.
Lao Pi stared at the line of text, his brain buzzing for a moment.
“…Damn it!”
It turns out that although their cultivation levels are the same, they are not at the same level at all!
The other party not only learned the skills, but also had the equipment to support him.
Most importantly, their entries are also very good!
No wonder he was killed instantly!
There is no comparison at all!
He only has one entry: [Morning Bells and Evening Drums]!
It's a good thing in normal times, but it's useless in the ring!
Moreover, it has fallen off now!
Lao Pi pulled his hair hard and fell into an endless cycle of doubting his life.
"This game...this competition...isn't just about comparing your skills!"
"That's because I've traveled more than anyone else and accumulated more resources!"
"I shouldn't have been scared! I barely used the travel button in seven days!"
"You're scared!"
He held his phone tremblingly as he opened the forum. The posts on the front page pierced his heart:
If you don't travel, what can you use to fight others?
[Big match failure! All the AFK players were defeated in seconds!]
【Entries are important! Accumulation is more important!】
Lao Pi stared at these posts and felt like crying more and more.
"You didn't say that a few days ago!"
He felt so regretful.
"I thought I could trick a few noobs during the 10 o'clock prime matchmaking period, but I didn't expect to trick a hunter."
"That's good..."
"The more entries, skills, and travels others have, the bigger the gap will become!"
He clicked on his character panel,
Empty.
At twelve noon, the first small peak of the competition ended.
Forums, communities, live broadcast rooms, and all platforms are discussing the [Zhoutian Competition] simultaneously.
In the official forum of the game,
One post received over a thousand replies within half an hour:
[Shock! It turns out the winner of the competition can create a second character!]
"I won the competition and unlocked a second character spot. I was stunned! This reward is too good to be true!"
The comments were filled with sobs and envy:
"Winning even once is as hard as climbing to heaven, and winning consecutively and being able to open multiple characters? I'm jealous."
"Wouldn't that mean I have more opportunities? I'm so envious!"
"I'm so envious! I'm just a worthless character, I haven't even mastered all the skills yet."
"I got a spot for a second character! I'm going to make a support-type entry."
"Traveling with two characters together doubles the effect, wow."
…
By the evening, the discussion heated up instead of down, becoming more and more intense.
More and more people are starting to participate in the Zhoutian competition.
Someone posted a long post in Tieba, summarizing the rules of the competition:
Cultivation is just an entry ticket, not a deciding factor!
Skills, equipment, and entries are all indispensable!
Traveling is a shortcut, not traveling = blank slate.
The item drop mechanism is a love-hate relationship, but it ensures excitement.
You must get the chance to create a new character! If you fail in the competition, you will lose more than just a week!
There are over a thousand replies, and players are expressing their opinions one after another.
Some people think this is the "true cultivation of immortality".
[Isn't cultivating immortality about allocating resources, letting geniuses rise to prominence, and letting losers get eliminated?]
【Only when you lose the entry does it feel real, painful, and exciting! 】
[Isn't this game just forcing you to struggle like hell? Otherwise, what's the difference between cultivating immortals and cultivating yourself?]
【We didn’t make it this time, let’s prepare for next time! 】
Some people also cursed:
[This is so horrible! The character entries I worked so hard to raise are gone just like that!]
But the more people criticize it, the more people download it.
A Zhoutian competition,
"Certificate of Immortality" has gained a lot of new downloads.
And just like that, the first Zhoutian competition came to an end.
Some people run wild, some people gain.
