Chapter 215: Chapter 114 Hidden Task, Map Update_3

More importantly, in order to achieve multiple victories, the importance of skill enhancement will be magnified within the player community.

He has already generally understood the situation of the Ancient God Arena through Guidance Analysis.

This is a special venue where a descending force harvests Fighting Soul Power through the killing among warriors.

Each deceased warrior will be drawn by the power enveloping the arena island into the Soul Refining Furnace below the island, eventually being made into a Martial Soul Pearl, which is the reward obtained by Gu Chen when he achieved one victory.

With each victory, the reward will be significantly enhanced.

If a player can achieve more than five victories, each victory will yield a high-grade Martial Soul Pearl bestowed by the Ancient God Race, which can advance a player’s Body Refining Level by one.

For this, he had Guidance calculate using big data; considering the average current strength of players, they could at most achieve one victory.

If it’s among the best players, three victories is roughly the limit, and with some luck, they might achieve four.

As for reaching five victories, the probability is very low.

At the stage of five victories, every opponent encountered thereafter would be a warrior with either extremely rich combat experience or exceptional personal capabilities.

Players, when competing against them, have neither a technical advantage nor an attribute advantage.

But Qi Sheng does not see this as a major issue.

After all, the growth rate of the players’ strength is swift, and they will inevitably climb higher in the arena in the future, achieving more victories and bringing in more sacrificial power benefits.

Thinking of this, Qi Sheng turned his head to look at the Guidance floating beside him:

"Guidance, the souls of players cannot be extracted by the Soul Refining Pool beneath the arena, could this be discovered?"

Facing the question, Guidance shook its head:

[This is a range-covering "Death Soul Extraction Array," which does not focus on the death of individual arena warriors during its operation, nor whether they have been soul extracted, therefore the probability of being discovered is very low.]

"Another question, the life-and-death battles of players in the arena, will they generate the Fighting Soul Power needed by the Ancient God Race?"

[Yes, the Fighting Soul Power is not drawn from the players themselves, but rather harvested from the players’ combat actions, as well as the performance of their willpower during battle.]

[To put it in terms of the Earth era before you arrived, it could be understood as a type of virtual mining activity, which is to say, by computing to produce Virtual Coins. The body strength, spiritual strength of the combatants can be categorized as graphics cards of different quality, the higher the strength, the better the computing performance of the graphics card, and the act of battle is facilitating this calculation, obtaining answers according to the "Fighting Spirit" logic given by world rules, and this answer is the produced Fighting Soul Power.]

[As for the importance of willpower, it can be seen as the energy driving the graphics card, with insufficient energy even if both parties have high life strength, they cannot effectively generate Fighting Soul Power. Hence, the Ancient God Arena requires warriors to maintain high morale and a resolve to fight to death.]

[Regarding the rewards for battle victories bestowed by the Ancient God Race, besides helping warriors repair the physical injuries from combat, it is also a form of psychological consolation, to prevent warriors from choosing death due to unbearable stress, which would undoubtedly be a loss for the Ancient God Race.]

"So you mean, players fighting in the arena also bring benefits to the Ancient God Race."

[They do, but they cannot be compared with other warriors, first of all, in terms of willpower, players do not possess a resolve to embrace death, and their hearts always have a way back to return to the Imperial Tomb Village, resulting in significantly weaker combat willpower... Of course, I am not referring to all players, there are definitely some who possess high combat willpower.]

[Secondly, in the collection of Soul Power, it was originally a recycling system; warriors strengthened by Martial Soul Pearls also have their soul strength enhanced, and after death, they re-enter the Soul Refining Pool and are made into Martial Soul Pearls. Through my analysis and calculations, the loss is 32.7%, but the loss allocated to players’ Martial Soul Pearls is 100%, which means for every expenditure on players, the Ancient God Race can only obtain the Fighting Soul Power, but cannot recover the expended Martial Soul Pearls.]

[In summary, while players are shearing wool from the Ancient God Race, they also bring benefits to them, although not much.]

To Qi Sheng, the analysis from Guidance actually seems like a good thing.

If players were to enter the arena only to take without producing Fighting Soul Power, over time the Ancient God Race would naturally notice the anomaly.

By then, it would be difficult for players to enter the Ancient God Arena again, and they would surely be blacklisted.

Being able to bring a certain benefit to the Ancient God Race would prevent the truth from being exposed, allowing for sustainable wool shearing.

Ensuring this approach is feasible, Qi Sheng started to consider how to transport players to the arena en masse.

The location Gu Chen went to is one of the three major Ancient God Arenas, the Death Arena, located towards the north adjacent to the Bright Star Sea Area, in the middle region of the Ghost Shadow Sea Domain.

There is a slowly expanding Black Tide Domain in the center, with a straight-line distance of 9495 kilometers from the Colorful Mist Coast.

For players without aircraft wanting to travel this distance, it would require a tremendous amount of energy and they would face various dangers along the way.

Thus, marking the map coordinates and letting players travel there by themselves is definitely not feasible.

The idea of constructing a Space Transmission Array surfaced in his mind, then he shook his head.

This idea was also not feasible in his view.

Constructing a stable Space Transmission Array is not important for the consumption of sacrificial power, what matters is the potential for the stable Space Transmission Array to be destroyed unless, like the Colorful Mist Coast, part of the space is partitioned off.
