......
The fourth day of the rest period, at 11:50 a.m.
Public Map: [Abandoned Factory]
With only 10 minutes left before the battle officially begins, the abandoned factory is already packed with players.
At a glance, there were at least four or five hundred people, three or four layers deep, surrounding the area so tightly that not even a fly could get in.
This battle is very special, requiring a total of 6 players to participate, divided into three rounds, using a best-of-three system.
Therefore, both sides need to use three [Normal Battle Cards] to upgrade them into [Multiplayer Battle Cards]. After using this battle card, the six participating players need to discuss and set new competition rules. Four or more votes are required to confirm the rules, and the system will then determine whether the rules are approved.
In addition, unlike regular battle cards, as long as both sides of the battle intend to invite others to watch the battle, players who are not participating in the battle can be pulled into a special battle space.
The upgraded multiplayer battle space can accommodate up to 500 people watching the game at the same time, which explains why it attracts so many players to join in the fun.
Yu Xiangnan donned an invisibility cloak and skillfully transformed it into its second form, blurring his face and concealing himself among the crowd, his gaze fixed on the six players in the center.
Blue Star sent Ji Fu, Ying Xiao, and a bald man named Zou Xingyan. Crescent Moon Star sent Wu Shu, along with two other top-ranked guild leaders.
Wu Shu looked at Ying Xiao and the other two with disdain, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He provocatively said, "What, you've been dawdling for so long, are you scared? Now you can finally start, right?"
Ying Xiao remained calm, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she replied unhurriedly, "What's the rush? I'm afraid you'll lose so badly that you won't even have time to make an excuse."
"Hmph, I'll see who loses."
Wu Shu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composed demeanor, seemingly very confident about the upcoming match.

[Note]: [Multiplayer Battle Card] successfully used.
The six players involved in the battle were enveloped by a complex, giant magic circle, while the other players who were invited to watch the battle only felt a flash of light before their eyes and were instantly pulled into a separate space.
The significant difference between the independent space in this multiplayer battle and the regular battle card space.
There is no traditional arena here; to be precise, the entire battleground is actually a dense rainforest.
This is the revised setting jointly discussed by both sides. Half of the plants growing in the rainforest come from Crescent Moon, while the other half originate from Earth. This arrangement is to ensure the fairness of the competition to the greatest extent possible, allowing both sides to perform in a familiar yet unfamiliar environment.

Welcome to the dedicated multiplayer battle arena. Here, you will engage in a fair and balanced duel.
The battle rules are as follows: Both sides can use their class skills, extra skills, and weapons to fight in the arena. Items such as health/mana recovery cards and defense cards are locked. There is no time limit for the battle; it continues until one side's health drops below 30% or they voluntarily surrender. The winning side scores one point, and the first team to reach two points wins the final victory in this duel.
After the winner is determined, all participating players will be teleported out of the independent battle space. Time within the independent battle space is the same as outside time; please pay attention to the time changes.
[Countdown: 3, 2...]
The battle is about to officially begin!
The battle was set in a dense, secluded forest, and the spectators on the viewing platform could not clearly see the two players due to the obstruction of the trees.
Fortunately, the system enabled real-time tracking first-person camera, projecting the images of the two people clearly onto the super large screen at the top in a split-screen format.
[Please have both teams select their players for the first round and stand at the trigger point to await system confirmation.]
As soon as the command was given, the large screen instantly switched to the scene at the trigger point for both sides. The first player sent out by Blue Star was Ji Fu, while the player sent out by Crescent Star was a player named Yun Xiang.
This situation instantly caused a huge uproar in the audience, with noisy discussions rising and falling.
Yu Xiangnan frowned slightly after seeing the players from both sides.
If the order of appearance is arranged this way, then the final showdown will most likely be Wu Shu versus Ying Xiao...
Upon reflection, I realized that I had never actually fought against any members of the special operations team. I only had a general understanding of their ranks and professions, and I knew very little about their skill characteristics, combat habits, and the items they possessed.
This multiplayer battle presents a perfect opportunity. Whether it's players from Crescent Moon Star or Blue Star, the chance to gather more information is ultimately more beneficial than harmful.
She remembered that the profession Ji Fu chose was also a niche one, called [Blood Curse Master]. The [Profession Skill Manual] described this profession as follows:
Blood Curse Masters specialize in researching and using blood-related curses. They can obtain the blood of their target, or draw upon their own blood, combining it with a red thread to cast a blood curse. The red thread then becomes the medium for transmitting the curse's power, causing harm or even death to the target...
This class is quite unpopular in the game, with very few players choosing it, to the point that I've practically never seen its skills. This is a golden opportunity, I must observe it carefully.
Meanwhile, Xia Baizhi sat next to Yu Xiangnan. Looking at Wu Shu, who was sitting confidently at the preparation table, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Tsk, how come I always run into this cheating guy who can't take a game?"
"Cheater?"
Yu Xiangnan looked puzzled and repeated.
“Yes, casinos can actually increase your luck value, but the conditions are extremely strict. You need to have capital first, then gamble with others, and only if you win will you meet the conditions for gaining luck value. Otherwise, you're just wasting money and end up with nothing,” Xia Baizhi explained. “I heard that Wu Shu had a lot of Journey Points. He was famous for losing like crazy at first, but then, for some reason, he suddenly started winning all the time. I guess he must have cheated.”
Yu Xiangnan frowned, pondering to himself.
Casinos do allow you to earn luck points, but even if you spend an entire day there and win every single game, you can only earn a maximum of 5 luck points.
In comparison, it's not as good as digging a hole every day like with a small, broken shovel.
Moreover, winning luck points in the casino also consumes Journey Points, which is really not worth it.
Wu Shu spends all his time in casinos; no wonder he seemed so confident during our betting match...
"However, I'm curious, can battle cards also be used to cheat?"
Xia Baizhi said helplessly, "I'm not sure either, I haven't tried it. But this time the referee is a system, so it should be very strict."
