Chapter 241: Chapter 122 Earth Thought and Evil Eye (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng’s gaze was shifting across various arenas and platforms.

After 12 lucky selected players entered the Death Arena, they were arranged for the first round of duels.

The average Hunting Level of these 12 players was 29. In the first round of draw battles, 5 people had quite bad luck drawing opponents whose Hunting Levels suppressed their own.

Players without attribute suppression in one-on-one fights were simply no match for these Alien Race Warriors trained in professional combat tactics.

Killed off without suspense.

The remaining seven players advanced to the second round, happily earning low-grade Spiritual Pearls given by the Ancient Gods amidst the curses from the players watching the livestream, gaining 2134 sacrificial power points.

It’s not over yet.

If they win again in the second round, their gains will double.

This makes the audience players envious, each hoping to get the chance to please the Ancient Gods next time an opportunity arises.

Meanwhile, Qi Sheng, observing secretly, also breathed a sigh of relief.

When players were sent to the Ancient God Arena this round, he was considering two questions.

The first question was, assuming a player is repeatedly sent to the Ancient God Arena in the future, whether this would be noticed.

He wasn’t worried about exposure, as he wasn’t afraid of the so-called Ancient God Race; exposure wouldn’t affect him.

What he was afraid of was the road to exploiting the Ancient God Race being cut off.

This issue was explained by Guidance, stating there’s no need to worry.

To the various forces in Monster World, player appearances are not important; unless there’s continuous interaction, external forces won’t focus on an individual player’s appearance. Generally, members of the Player Clan look quite similar, with no apparent differences.

This can be compared to Black Tide Demonic Spirits and Insect Warriors.

Players don’t focus on the appearance of Black Tide Demonic Spirits or Insect Warriors; to players, they are battle units copied from a template.

Even if other forces discover similarities in looks, they will judge from this angle, not realizing players have resurrection and rebirth abilities.

Additionally, Qi Sheng was concerned about players’ performance in the arena.

The Death Arena is a special channel for the Ancient God Race to acquire Fighting Soul Power; players’ performance in the arena will seriously affect whether more players will be selected to go to the arena later.

When fighting the Alien Race, players will fight desperately for sacrificial power.

But in player-versus-player confrontations, with his understanding of players, there’s bound to be cheating.

For instance, both parties might agree to split the returns half each, then treat the duel as a throwaway, finishing quickly.

There could even be cases where one side willingly takes itself out, ending things swiftly.

Repeatedly having such behavior would greatly diminish the players’ value in the eyes of the Ancient God’s Servants, since the Ancient God Arena isn’t a charitable organization; they need brutal fights between warriors to gain profit.

Spoiled behavior would result in the Ancient God Race extracting no Fighting Soul Energy, thus altering its attitude toward the Player Clan.

This was a concern for Qi Sheng.

If the arena randomly pitted two players against each other, there’s a chance of unexpected performance showing.

But this issue found an answer in this round of investigative observation.

When the Ancient God Race formulated arena rules, they evidently also considered the possibility that encountering the same race might lead to one side sacrificing itself to fulfill the other.

Thus, the arena draw rules separate warriors marked as the same race, avoiding the occurrence of such incidents.

This setup effectively solved Qi Sheng’s concerns.

As long as players don’t encounter each other, abstract incidents won’t occur.

Without overthinking, he started focusing again on players’ performance in the arena.

Players with 1 win resumed status in their rooms without hesitation and requested the start of the second round battle.

For players, they don’t need any psychological build-up or preparation.

Since the first round is finished, they initiate the second round battle promptly.

Waiting for three days in the room is worse than killing them; that time is better spent hunting for profits.

Even without hunting, one could lie on the Colorful Mist Coast Region enjoying the bright sunlight, natural scenery, and various delicious Spirit Foods with taste feedback surpassing the real world.

Staying here wasting time is utterly foolish.

Through the performance of the first player entering the arena, they found that they could initiate the second round battle early, hence contacted the Ancient God’s Servants overseeing the arena without hesitation.

In response, the Ancient God’s Servants did not reject and arranged the second round of battles for the remaining players.

As this round of battles commenced, the live streams attracted a large number of players.

Although they were allied, players in the livestream were calling for mighty foes to appear.

In the words of a player with high likes in the livestream, it goes: "Your folks and old people miss you, don’t try hard, hurry home, the village distributed sacrificial power, everyone is waiting for you to return."

The intensity of the second round increased markedly.

Out of the remaining 7 players, only 2 passed the arena trial, advancing to the Flame Arena.

These two players were rewarded with 2 low-grade Spiritual Pearls, triggering lament in the livestream players once more.

Watching others get rich while being unable to share feels worse to many players than losing their own money.

Especially since everyone started equally, yet some players have the opportunity for Hidden Tasks.

There’s a feeling of mutual poverty, why did you suddenly get wealthy mindset.
