Among these opponents are archers, martial arts masters, tribal warriors, and traditional martial artists.
The Japanese soldiers were ninjas, which is not unusual and is considered normal.
But the person the Koreans sent was called a Sword Saint, which is a bit ridiculous.
Even more absurdly, the people sent from Southeast Asia turned out to be sorcerers, which is where the story begins to connect with fantasy.
There are also science and technology themed ones, with Captain America and Iron Man being sent by the Bald Eagle.
Ye Zi pointed to the two types of people and asked:
"What's going on? Like in the movies?"
Sister Meng smiled and said:
"The Super Soldier Transformation Program, and armor with modern design."
Ye Zi instantly understood that this was a combination of technology and ruthless skill.
"I hope Iron Man doesn't suddenly shoot a laser and kill me."
"No, this is purely defensive modern armor, and the weapon is a spiked club."
No modern weapons will be used during the match.
Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"That's fine. My tungsten steel mace is specifically designed to break through all kinds of defenses."
"Your weapon definitely doesn't need to be changed, but defense is also an important aspect that cannot be ignored. Tell me what defensive equipment you plan to wear."
According to the mission description, each contestant is required to bring their own armor. They can wear as many layers as they like, and the same goes for weapons. As long as you can carry them, you can bring as many as you can, provided that you can only choose melee weapons.
Once you arrive at the location, organizers will check your weapons and armor before the competition can begin.
“We have armor from various dynasties, and we can also customize it if you have any ideas,” Sister Meng continued.
Ye Zi pondered for a moment, then grinned and said:
"Manipulating mindset isn't something only they can do; I can do it too."
Give me a set of Mongolian heavy armor, and also prepare a horse for me.
Sister Meng nodded and said:
“We understand that you grew up on the grasslands and wear Mongolian heavy armor, but you can’t ride a horse in this competition, and what does that have to do with mental fortitude?”
"When the Mongols conquered the west, all the countries in that direction were killed, and massacres of entire cities were commonplace."
They like to bring up bloodlines, don't they? Well then, I'll let them experience the fear deep within their bloodlines.
I know, of course, that riding horses isn't allowed in the competition, but I'll need them when I enter the arena.
After hearing Ye Zi's explanation, Meng Jie's eyes lit up. So what if it's a bald eagle? Its ancestors were Europeans. Since they were Europeans, their ancestors were slaughtered by the Mongols. It's really an electronic thing that messes with people's mentality.
The impact a Mongol cavalryman would have on these people is definitely something to look forward to.
"We'll do as you say. This year, we'll be the last to appear, so everyone can see you show up in front of them."
"Also, I need to kill people, the more the better," Ye Zi made the request again.
"Why?" Sister Meng asked, puzzled.
"I don't have enough killing intent. I need to kill more people to accumulate enough killing intent."
Sister Meng immediately thought of Tu Fu and said worriedly:
"Will killing too many people affect your mental state?"
"No, I have a way to solve this, don't worry," Ye Zi replied.
"There are more than thirty spies in the cell. You can use them as practice subjects."
Ye Zi shook her head and said:
"Not enough. I need more enemies. It would be best if I could go to the Burmese. I heard there's a group of Japanese devils there."
Sister Meng frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and said:
"I'll arrange it."
With the major mission concluded, Ye Zi's next task is to make another trip to the jungles of Myanmar.
Actually, it didn't matter whether he went or not; he could just stay at the gates of hell and wait for the competition to start. But Ye Zi didn't want to be idle like that, especially since he didn't want to miss the opportunity to kill the Japanese and Koreans.
Back in the lounge where she had stayed before, Ye Zi was still holding the two documents that Sister Meng had given her.
The competition wasn't free; each contestant received a bonus of one million US dollars.
You can earn bonuses for each opponent you kill. In other words, Ye Zi can earn one million US dollars for every opponent he kills, and he can earn as many as he kills.
If the person killed by the leaf has already killed the opponent, the leaf can obtain the opponent's accumulated bonus after killing the opponent.
In this competition, only one person can leave alive, meaning that everyone's bonus will ultimately go to that one person.
Each of these competitions typically has around one hundred participants.
In other words, if Ye Zi wins the final victory, he will receive one hundred million US dollars. Whether or not he has to hand over the money to the underworld, it will all belong to Ye Zi.
The Gate of Hell is a gamble on who will survive to the end. Each faction that sends out contestants will take their bets to a designated place, and the faction of the winner will take all the bets.
There are two other scenarios: forfeiting the match or both sides suffering heavy losses.
The contestants who give up the competition are all begging for mercy when they are facing death. Then, the faction to which the begging contestant belongs decides to offer a price to save their contestant's life.
This price needs to be agreed upon by the winner; otherwise, they will still be killed.
In other words, when Ye Zi defeats an opponent and the opponent begs for mercy, then Ye Zi has to pay a price to save his life. As for how much he has to pay, it depends on whether the other party can afford to give Ye Zi what he wants.
Those who had been to the Gates of Hell had also experienced these things before, and they had paid a heavy price to save their own people's lives.
Another scenario is a lose-lose situation, which Xiao Touming and Tu Fu experienced. Both sides lost their fighting ability. In this situation, there is a certain amount of time buffer, usually two hours.
If neither side is able to move within two hours, the match will end in a draw, and the bonus will be awarded as it is.
Actually, it wasn't like this at the beginning. After a lose-lose situation occurred, it was just a matter of enduring and seeing who could last the longest.
But those sent to participate in the competition were all elites from their respective factions, and no one wanted their elites to die, so it turned out like this.
The stakes for all factions are the same as the bonuses: if a player is killed by a player from another faction, then that player's stake is transferred to that faction.
The organizers of the show will open betting on the dark web after the competition begins, allowing anyone surfing the dark web to place bets on their favorite contestants.
Wu Jing had gambled once before; this is what's known as an off-the-books betting game.
In an effort to coerce Chinese forces into participating, these foreign powers offered various antiques that had been scattered overseas as stakes. They also conspired to set the start of the competition on Chinese New Year, with the aim of manipulating the players' mentality.
Manipulating mentality is not the ultimate goal; the ultimate goal is the national debt held by Chinese forces.
This is the key point, and the original purpose of this competition: the foreigners want to pay less national debt, and China wants those national treasures that have been scattered abroad.
Therefore, China has established a special department called the "Gate of Hell," and has also begun to recruit various special talents from across the country.
That's how Ye Zi and the others ended up at the gates of hell.
