Chapter 1142: Competition Rules and Exchange

Hum

In an instant, a light pillar a hundred meters thick suddenly fell, and a huge white glowing sphere instantly illuminated the entire square.

"Beep, the warzone competition is about to begin, now announcing the rules."

"1. This competition will be divided into seven continents, each continent having three qualifying spots; qualifiers will participate in the intercontinental competition."

"2. In the final intercontinental competition, three spots will also be taken, and rewards will be given. The first round of intra-intercontinental confrontation lasts 7 days; the second round has three days for rest, after which the final confrontation begins."

"3. During the competition, withdrawal is prohibited. Only when the number of domestic Awakened Ones drops to 30% can forced withdrawal be allowed."

"The first round of the competition is divided into two stages; the first stage is a survival challenge."

"Awakened Ones from each warzone will be randomly scrambled and enter the apocalypse battlefield; survivors will proceed to the next stage."

"The second stage is a defense battle."

"In the apocalypse battlefield, the first-round survivors will gather together to jointly resist subsequent enemies; after the defense battle ends, each warzone may attack other warzones' bases, and advance based on kill-point rankings."

"The following are the winning rewards..."

"As a flood of information scrolled across the screen, the tens of millions of Awakened Ones in the square all read it seriously."

"Relying on his hyper-efficient thinking, Lin An quickly finished reading all the information."

"As expected, given the system's ruthless style, third place gets no reward at all—just no punishment. Second place receives a group reward and the individual reward of the winner. First place obtains an attribute boost for all warzones, plus a fourth-stage card!"

"Moreover, Lin An unexpectedly saw that the system had actually opened an exchange shop for this competition."

"Kill points can be exchanged for any equipment or skill, and the exchange location is in several large buildings behind."

"Presumably, after a single intercontinental confrontation, this is to allow the qualifying warzones to make up their strength."

"Captain Lin, these rules are kinda twisted..."

"In the first round, we have to both survive and defend the city, and finally we have to fight each other."

"Playing like this, how many people will die..."

"After a rough look at the rules, Zhang Tie could also imagine how bloody this competition would be."

"Three rounds of screening; only after 70% of people die are they allowed to withdraw."

"This time, aren't we looking at seventy to eighty million deaths?"

"Rearing gu."

"Lin An watched Zhang Tie sigh, then calmly walked away."

"The survival trial is obviously meant to farm individuals."

"The defense trial tests collective ability, or in other words, a nation's strength."

"Finally, warzones fight each other—it's simply a bare comparison of who survives, retaining the most strength."

"Upon reflection, the competition is actually very like a real apocalypse, but of the forcibly accelerated kind."

"Glancing at the countdown to the imminent teleport, Lin An simply took advantage of the free time to go look at the buildings behind."

"For the first-round survival screening, he didn't really have any tactical arrangements to speak of."

"The members of Long An have enjoyed the best treatment for so long; it's time they drilled and saw true cruelty."

"As for the system's exchange prepared this time, Lin An was quite curious."

"Equipment, props, single-use consumables. Spiritual energy fruit."

"Inside the all-metal enclosed hall, Lin An quickly flipped through the system's light screen; just looking at the dazzling exchange list, he couldn't help but feel fired up."

"The system is rarely this generous."

"Inside, he saw many things he wanted to exchange."

"Even flipping to the end, he unexpectedly saw that cards and rule fragments were also in there!"

"Fourth-stage card: after obtaining it, start a series of tasks; upon completion, promote to fourth stage."

"Exchange points: 300,000 points!"

"Rule fragments: after combining multiple fragments, obtain a rule prototype, usable for promotion to fourth stage."

"Exchange points: 100,000 points!"

"Designated rule exchange, price doubled!"

"Dungeon escape item: after use, ignore escape requirements, immediately return to reality."

"Exchange points: 20,000 points!"

"Perfect mission completion item: after use, automatically completes system tasks, limited to A-rank and below."

"Exchange points: 60,000 points!"

"Awakener potion d-rank: after use, 100% become an Awakened One, gaining a random d-rank talent."

"Exchange points: 100 points."

"Awakener potion b-rank: after use, 100% become an Awakened One, gaining a random b-rank talent."

"Exchange points: 10,000 points."

"Awakener potion s-rank.."

"Exchange points: 60,000 points!"

"Gold: % purity gold."

"Exchange points: 1 point per 400 kg."

"Compressed biscuits:"

"Exchange points: 1 point per 10 kg."

"Note: Even after entering the apocalypse battlefield, the exchange function can still be used, but exchange prices increase tenfold!"

"After quickly glancing at the exchange list, Lin An couldn't help but feel his heart stir."

"Other things he might not care about, but the exchangeable sets, cards, and rule fragments inside—these three things also moved him!"

It's just that the price is so high it makes you suck your teeth, as always conforming to the system's pissy nature.

Being able to redeem these things will greatly shorten his speed to reach the Fourth Stage, and it will also be of great help in mastering the rules later.

According to the rules, roughly one Awakened One equals 1 point; of course this refers to a high-level Second Stage. As for a First Stage, killing one would probably only yield a few tenths of a point. The value of a Third Stage is higher; calculated by strength, it's roughly around a thousand points.

Put bluntly, these redemption rewards are the system forcing them to slaughter each other from another angle.

Kill ten people and you can exchange for a common blue gear; kill a hundred, it's advanced blue gear; kill a thousand, it's Epic Tier gear! Kill ten thousand, legendary gear beckons you! Kill a hundred thousand! You might advance to the Fourth Stage! Kill three hundred thousand, and you will definitely become Fourth Stage!

Under such naked stimulation, Lin An has no doubt that Awakened Ones from all countries will go crazy.

Standing at the redemption list label, he could clearly hear the Awakened Ones who had just entered, their breathing becoming rapid.

Many who had never seen or known about the cards, especially Third Stage Awakened Ones, were almost fanatically staring fixedly at the redemption list.

Closing the light curtain, Lin An calmly walked out and looked toward the crowd before him, like a tide.

I don't know how many people will be able to return alive after this confrontation ends.

One percent? Or one thousandth?

Lin An's heart had not much turbulence; he merely felt a faint, indiscernible pity rise subconsciously.

However, in the redemption list he discovered a rather interesting little gadget.

"War Zone Transfer Token"

After use, one can participate in other war zones.

"Tie Er, have you seen Lord Rhein?!"

Among the Awakened Ones troops numbering as many as 270,000, several Soviet Third Stage repeatedly inspected their own troops' Awakened Ones, yet still failed to find where Lin An was.

Facing the inquiry from our own Third Stage, Tie Er replied with a bitter smile:

"Lord Rhein said he had come in, but told us not to look for him."

"He will act as a hidden trump card, striking when necessary."

"He said, this way we can get a good ranking, so as not to be targeted by other war zones.."

He sighed; Tie Er also didn't know what to say.

As long as Lord Rhein can get in, he only hopes the other side acts promptly, so as not to let his own war zone suffer too many casualties. As for other things, he isn't worried at all.

Lord Rhein is so strong that they still have great confidence in this confrontation.
