Contestants from the same place discussed it.
"People with holy medals cannot be robbed in Hanfeng City. Does that mean we can rob them in other places?" someone said.
"That's right, that's the logic. We just need to ambush outside Hanfeng City and snatch the holy medal when the person with the holy medal comes back. There's no need to take any risks." Another person echoed.
The people around him brightened up when they heard this. This was indeed a good idea.
"What are the characteristics of this holy medal? How do you know if others are carrying it?" Cheng Yan walked over and asked.
"There's a positioning system. You can see it on the league's official website." An orc looked at Cheng Yan with an idiotic look. "Don't you humans go online often?"
Wang Xiaohai and Cheng Yan visited the league’s official website a few days ago, but there was only the league’s background and a brief introduction, so they just glanced at it and didn’t open the webpage again. Could there be any changes after the start of the game?
The two hurriedly opened the league's official website.
Sure enough, there is a new section on the official website called the Holy Medal Display Area, which has sixteen flashing dots and a map of the Ice Country. However, the map resolution is relatively low, and the flashing dots and the pixels they occupy are equivalent to a larger town. That is to say, when a person holding a holy medal enters a town, anyone in the town may be the person holding the holy medal, which increases the difficulty of robbery, because if the population is dense, it is not impossible for tens of thousands of people to live in a town.
Cheng Yan closed the official website and said, "It seems that it is impossible to rob in towns and cities, unless you want to go against everyone in the town or the entire area!"
"Not necessarily," Wang Xiaohai said. "Large areas of the Ice Country are deserted. We just need to guard the open areas along the necessary routes and immediately intercept anyone who sees the Holy Plate moving towards us. Since there's no one there anyway, anyone running towards us must be carrying the Holy Plate."
"That makes sense. Should I ambush in the open spaces along several necessary routes?" Cheng Yan seemed to understand.
"What the hell are you doing? Who can you beat? You'd better take the risk honestly." Wang Xiaohai said.
"I heard the area where the holy medallion is located is filled with dangerous and powerful creatures. Going there without the strength of a martial arts master or above is a death sentence," Cheng Yan said. "I estimate that if you rank in the 10,000th place out of the 20,000 contestants, you won't be able to defeat the dangerous creatures, and you won't be able to snatch anything from others. There's no way I can advance to the top 16."
It seems that Cheng Yan also has self-knowledge and understands that he is just here for tourism and to try his luck. Trying his luck means that when a group of people are fighting to grab the holy medal, he takes the opportunity to pick up something. However, there are many people who share the same idea as him. Most of the contestants are here to pick up something and take a gamble. If you buy lottery tickets, why do countless people buy them even though they know the probability is extremely low? It is because they are relying on luck.
"After arriving at the border town, just find a place to stay and wait. If I find two holy medals, I will give you one." Wang Xiaohai said.
"No need, this is very expensive." Cheng Yan said.
"This only represents a spot for advancement. Taking one holy medal is the same as taking two." Wang Xiaohai said, "Taking more than one is useless."
"Why is it useless? You can sell it to someone else, at least for more than 10 billion. Otherwise, I will give you the money?" Cheng Yan said.
"You're going to give me money?" Wang Xiaohai laughed. "Don't brag. Don't I know how wealthy you are? You can only give me a few million at most."
"But if I can make it into the top 16, I will be remembered in history, and my family will definitely be willing to spend the 1 billion yuan on me." Cheng Yan replied.
"How should I describe it? Don't use Earth idioms!" Wang Xiaohai said, "It should be 'bringing glory to the family', not 'going down in history'. But I won't take your money, no matter if it's your family's or yours. Friendship is priceless, and talking about money would be devaluing it."
"I was confused. I'm sorry. I can't help friends without asking for money." Cheng Yan apologized. "From now on, we will be friends for life."
Wang Xiaohai is not short of money now and does not want to ruin the relationship between the two friends because of the 1 billion yuan. If it is 1 trillion yuan, he might be tempted because he can exchange it for the perfect martial arts in the dimensional store. Of course, he knows that it is impossible. He guessed it when he and Chairman Cheng Jie negotiated the price for the Qingliu Vocational School project. The Cheng family's property is probably not much, and the total assets are at most 100 billion.
The two of them consulted the map and headed towards the snowy plains of the Ice Country.
Although most people planned to wait and see, several thousand people still went to the area where the holy cards were placed. They believed that even if they could not defeat others, it would still be easy to escape.
There are also some smart people who want to go with everyone. If they pick up the holy medal, they will quietly hide it in their underwear pockets, pretend that they didn't pick it up, and come back with everyone. After all, the symbol of the holy medal is displayed so large on the Internet, no one will know that it is hidden on him, and he will only suspect everyone around him.
People from the same country traveled together, and there were also several groups from the Allied Powers, but Wang Xiaohai rejected other people's invitations.
A graceful man in a white shirt walked towards me, looking very much like a knight on TV.
The man in white shirt walked past Wang Xiaohai and the other man, and couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh", then turned around and glanced at Wang Xiaohai.
"What's your name?" asked the man in white.
"Wang Xiaohai, Alliance, what about you?"
"Lu Feiyan, Yunwu Country." The man in white shirt replied and left, looking quite aloof.
"This guy has some strength. He is definitely not an unknown person in his country," said Wang Xiaohai.
Cheng Yan immediately used his phone to search for Yunwu Country and Lu Feiyan.
"So he's the Third Prince of the Cloud Mist Kingdom. He's had plenty of resources for cultivation since childhood, but he's also a hardworking person. He doesn't want to enjoy himself, only to practice martial arts." Cheng Yan said as he checked his phone, "It seems he's not a playboy disciple."
"You are not a playboy disciple either." Wang Xiaohai said.
"I'm just the son of the city council chairman. I'm fine with my arrogance in the city, but no one cares about me outside the city." Cheng Yan said self-deprecatingly, "How can I compare with the prince of a country?"
"Does this mean that you often abuse your power in the city?" Wang Xiaohai laughed, thinking that Cheng Yan was shooting himself in the foot.
"That never happened. I was just kidding." Cheng Yan explained, "I've been a very well-behaved kid since I was little. Aside from picking up girls, I've never told anyone about my background, nor have I used it to bully others."
"Why do you talk about your background when you're trying to pick up girls?" Wang Xiaohai walked faster and faster, not wanting to fall too far behind the crowd.
"Because of his good family background, he can't pick up girls." Cheng Yan sighed.
"Oh, so you also know that you are ugly?" Wang Xiaohai slipped and used the Qi Control Technique to float in the air. The road was too slippery and it was difficult to walk.
"I'm not ugly, it's just that girls nowadays are more realistic." Cheng Yan said and followed.
The two chatted along the way, and Wang Xiaohai had a good opportunity to practice flying. The weather was cold, the wind was howling, and walking was difficult. The speed was dozens of times slower than usual. It took the two more than four hours to reach Wuyan Town, the border town of the Ice Country.
"Smokeless Town, a deserted town." Cheng Yan looked at the town sign hanging under the tree lights.
