Edward came prepared this time.
In the fourth world of the peak competition, he was defeated miserably. As a hunter, he played no role except shooting Noel away, and even showed an emotion of not caring about the overall situation, which greatly reduced his status in people's eyes.
However, in view of his irreplaceable nature in completing all the levels perfectly, the United Group did not give up on him, but continued to work hard to provide for him. However, compared to the beginning of the World Game, his situation was much more difficult.
After all, no one would be willing to give up their gains to others. The players would not easily bow to the authority of the old organization. Except for some directly related groups and backward players who still couldn't see the situation clearly, Edward was already lacking those who were loyal to him.
Looking at Su Mingan who was far ahead in the seventh world, and seeing his combat power value increasing on the leaderboard, his mentality had become extremely impetuous.
...Why does this guy always find the most hidden plot lines? Why does this guy always become the core of the copy character's identity?
Even though he knew those hellish plot lines, he would probably still kneel down. But people are like this, they are very good at imagining achievements that they cannot obtain, and want to surpass those who have achieved them. People say this is called "competitiveness."
It is obvious that Edward has this kind of "competitive spirit".
In the eighth world, there will only be one winner, not a faction system that requires unity. He believes that he can fully demonstrate his strength. One out of a hundred, anyone can fail. Just like a hundred-player battleground chicken, a top professional player can be sniped and killed by the other ninety-nine passers-by. Not to mention, these ninety-nine people are not just passers-by.
As for the "number one player", the one who is recognized as the only winner of the Eighth World, Su Mingan should be under the greatest pressure. The pressure he faces is not unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented.
Almost the whole world's expectations were placed on him. It was hard to imagine what kind of turmoil this person would face if he could not make it to the end and was eliminated midway.
"..." Edward's gaze couldn't help but shift slightly to the left. He wanted to see how nervous the guy who had always acted confident of winning was now.
From the corner of his eye, he tried his best to look to the left through the pink light.
——He saw the black-haired young man who was the center of everyone’s attention, with a smile on his face.
Edward was a little stunned.
He didn't understand why this guy could still laugh.
——Is Su Mingan so confident that he thinks he will win in the end despite being targeted and watched by the other ninety-nine people?
Edward's doubts were not answered before they were interrupted by a sudden sharp cry.
"Dear players! Your most beloved Boss Rabbit is here——"
The Boss Rabbit spoke in a shrill voice, and stretched out its two big soft white hands, seeming to be much more excited than usual.
Facing everyone's gaze, the corners of its mouth raised eight degrees higher:
"——Before the Eighth World begins, I will explain to you the specific rules of the Eighth World——Oh, that's right."
It seemed to remember something, and its pair of red eyes turned, and its sight quickly changed direction:
"Ah, isn't this our dear first player? Dear first player, long time no see, I missed you so much, I missed you so much that my rabbit ears are about to fall off, I missed you so much that my eyes are red--"
Seeing this scene, everyone was used to it.
When Boss Rabbit arrives, he will definitely "greet" Su Ming'an who is present first. This is a routine. They would feel strange if he ignored Su Ming'an this time.
As for the reason, they also speculated. They were not as superficial as ordinary audiences and would not think that this was a manifestation of Su Mingan being a lackey of the organizer. After all, which boss would deliberately push his employees to the spotlight?
They would rather believe that this is the benefit of some special status, or that the organizer is targeting the top player.
"It seems to like you very much." said the black-robed player ranked 100th and standing on Su Mingan's left.
Facing Boss Rabbit's twisted and funny smile, Su Mingan looked away.
"Shadow." He whispered, "Be more restrained."
“Cough, cough, cough, cough——!”
The red eyes of the "Boss Rabbit" flashed, and it coughed violently a few times, then it retracted its big white hand that seemed to want to hug:
"Well then - let me tell you about the specific rules of the Eighth World -"
Su Ming'an was a little speechless watching Ying's exaggerated performance.
The reason why he chose Ying to play the role is that Ying is more suitable for tasks like "patrol". Ying has high spirit points and has stronger observation ability and sensitivity than Ming, which makes him suitable for helping him find clues.
Moreover, Ying has enough mana for spatial displacement, so once he is caught in a special event, he can quickly escape. If he is entangled by an NPC, spatial vibration is much faster than slashing with a sword. As long as he kills the NPC in time and does not let other players find traces of spatial vibration, Ying's true identity will not be exposed.
Although, the price is that Shadow's personality is much worse than that of the knight Ming.
"Everyone, listen carefully. I will only report once, and I won't miss any details or repeat them!" The actor acted very happily, almost like the boss, Rabbit:
"The specific rules of the Eighth World are as follows—"
The surrounding players immediately pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any information.
Su Mingan looked at the shadow and thought for a moment.
——First of all, from the perspective of game mechanics, he definitely made the best choice.
After giving the answer "playing the role of Boss Rabbit", the clone became the "Boss Rabbit" in the eyes of the players and became the 'rule introducer' of the Eighth World.
