Shortly after Shen Liangyue arrived at the Central Arena, she received a communication from Ning Chengyu and others.
As the first batch of players to come to the City of Competition, several Supernovas were brought to the Central Arena early and were assigned their respective residences.
After noticing that Shen Liangyue had entered the communication range, several people immediately came to her room.
At first, they thought that Shen Liangyue had obtained the ticket together with Ural, but after hearing Shen Liangyue's story about what happened next, they were very surprised.
"That Ural actually hides a knife in his smile?" Ning Chengyu's eyes widened in anger: "Thank you for our trust in him!"
"Only you can trust me..." Old Wu mocked from the side: "I can tell at a glance that he is not a good person!"
"In the main world, you are called a post-event strategist, right?" Alicia mocked: "But as a reincarnation person, you really can't trust others."
"I have never been worried." Soros was building a card tower: "According to the results of the divination, Shen Liangyue will definitely pass the test smoothly."
Shen Liangyue nodded: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's thanks to that hunter..."
"So, Brother Hunter has also been promoted?" Ning Chengyu looked at the badge: "Why is he not within the communication range?"
Shen Liangyue also frowned: "It's really strange... He should have redeemed the ticket earlier than me..."
"Didn't he come to the Central Arena?" Zep guessed.
"Perhaps, he hasn't come to the City of Competition yet!" The card tower in front of Soros suddenly collapsed: "My divination shows that the hunter's advancement path is not going smoothly."
"Will it go poorly for him?" Ning Chengyu looked in disbelief.
"Why does he have more?" Zep said unconvinced: "This shows that his five-star evaluation may be a little watery!"
"Can you see more details?" Shen Liangyue asked with concern: "Why is it difficult for him to advance?"
Soros shook his head: "I do have the ability to accurately predict, but when it comes to his problems, I can only see the general outline, and it is difficult to read more detailed information... It's hard to say whether that guy can advance!"
…………
"There are only a few hours left..." In the City of Creation, Zhang Lang looked at the time on the badge and was not in a hurry.
In his hand, he still held nine star cards, but he did not redeem them for the ship ticket.
Yes, he did take out all the star cards from Ural's stomach, but except for the ones he gave to Shen Liangyue, he threw away the rest at will. He himself had no intention of redeeming the ship tickets from the beginning.
Because he had a vague guess about the first phase of this mission.
The first thing that caught his attention was the advice given by the Shen examiner: Never be eliminated.
According to the rules, the first phase of the mission is only to snatch star cards, and killing each other is not allowed, and the damage to the environment is also strictly limited. Such rules basically suppress the desire to fight among the reincarnations to a minimum. Even if the mission fails, there will be no He will die, so why should he be warned not to be eliminated?
That can only mean that the players eliminated in the first stage will not be kicked out of the mission directly, but will fall into some very dangerous situation!
What is this danger? Zhang Lang guessed from the number of stars.
According to his observations and calculations, all 339 contestants have a total of 640 stars. So theoretically, 64 contestants will advance to the second stage.
This number is a bit subtle. According to his observation, the star cards will not disappear because the contestants are eliminated. It can be considered that the altar hopes that all star cards will be used to advance. Sixty-four people are what the altar hopes.
, the number of contestants in the second round.
What does this number represent?
Zhang Lang got the answer from the advertisements that can be seen everywhere in the City of Creation.
About the promotion of the best fighting competition in the world!
Yes, in the City of Creation, which is directly below the City of Competition, news of fighting competitions can be seen everywhere, and the competition was held on the day after the first phase of the mission ended, and the location was
City of Competition... Is this really just a coincidence? This clearly tells the players that the second stage of the mission is this fighting competition!
But the key problem is that according to Zhang Lang's observation, it seems that except for him, the other players have automatically ignored this key clue!
They turned a blind eye to the publicity about fighting competitions that was all over the streets, and just focused on looking for star cards.
Perception masking is an old trick of the altar. Rather than directly modifying the mission world and deleting the information about the fighting competition, it is easier to mask the players' perception of this information. And this cannot be hidden from Zhang Lang, who has returned to his original nature.
.
On the contrary, this deliberate cover-up made Zhang Lang more certain about the second phase of the mission.
In the fighting competition, sixty-four people competed in exactly six rounds of two-on-one battles to advance.
So here comes the question, what if the number of people in the second stage is less than sixty-four?
After all, sixty-four people is only the theoretical maximum number of people who can advance, and it is almost impossible to achieve it in practice.
Then the missing people can only be selected from the eliminated ones.
In other words, there must be a resurrection match between the eliminated ones!
Moreover, this resurrection match is extremely cruel, and it is even possible that only the winner who stands out will survive!
This kind of fighting is what suits Zhang Lang best!
For this reason, he waited patiently for the last moment.
With the ability of reincarnation detection, Zhang Lang clearly saw that as the time limit approached, the players in the city became more and more restless and acted more and more frequently... But as the stars became fewer and fewer, in the end, they could
There are only a few people who have successfully redeemed their tickets, and the vast majority of them have no choice but to stay in the City of Creation, waiting for the final judgment.
As the time expired, all contestants who failed to advance received a reminder that the first stage of the mission had failed. Immediately afterwards, flames ignited on their bodies and disappeared from the City of Creation.
But when the players came back to their senses, they were surprised to find that they were not back at the altar, but in darkness.
Where is this place? The contestants immediately became alert, but before their eyes could adapt to the darkness, a dazzling light was suddenly cast from above.
Only then did everyone see that this was a circular secret room with a diameter of more than a hundred meters. The surroundings and ceiling were made of metal walls, which were extremely strong. All the failed contestants gathered here, and among them you could even see those who had passed the exam early due to violations.
Eliminated players.
Just before everyone understood the situation, new mission prompts came from everyone's badges:
"The first phase of the fifth phase of the mission: All contestants who have not completed the first phase of the mission will start a melee in one minute. The nine who survive in the end can be added to the second phase of the mission."
This task prompt instantly made all the players nervous!
The players who were standing randomly immediately distanced themselves and immediately looked for familiar people of the same race to form an alliance... Some of the players who did not have any of their own race simply found ways to hide in corners and try their best to make themselves invisible to others.
But the one-minute time limit is too short. As the countdown ends, everyone's badges send the order for the melee to begin!
