District War System Update
"You won't die, you might get a little injured, but you won't perish. Your house is in this direction, right? If you have any objections, just say so."
Berserk wind swept over Ding Lexin, and a tremendous force came from behind her. The speed accumulated wildly, even compressing the surrounding air into visible shock waves. The scattered aftershocks were like sharp blades, slashing the surrounding ground.
Ding Lexin spoke but couldn't get her words out, "..."
"Hold onto this metal block, I've stabilized the Spell. The wind won't stop you. Go!"
Before she finished speaking, Ding Lexin transformed into a blurry black shadow and, accompanied by her Soul Servant, shot rapidly into the darkness in the distance, with Su Luo's Soul Servant following closely behind to protect her.
Su Luo, who had tossed the person out with the wind, clapped her hands and opened the System Panel.
[Spirit: 21.4 (↑0.6)]
[Constitution: 19.5 (↑0.5)]
[Strength: 18.0 (↑0.5)]

In the past few days, while he was engrossed in studying "Heartfire" and Optimization the energy carrier, he took every opportunity to use his [Skill Book Inscription] professional ability to continuously disassemble and reconstruct his own Attribute- type skills, maximizing all the Attributes he could, which left him feeling extremely weak these past few days.
"I feel like I can't go a few days without feeling weak."
Su Luo made a comment.
As for "Heartfire," its power level has undoubtedly reached the threshold of purple quality. However, Su Luo did not record it into Skill Book.
Even if he were to inscribe it, it wouldn't mean much to him personally. This ability was originally his own, and it wasn't Attribute- based skill, so system certification wouldn't be of much use.
After all, the consumption of engraving Purple Skills is a bit abnormal, and Su Luo can't afford it for the time being. Currently, she has to catch her breath several times to engrave a [Three-Cycle Method (Blue)] that breaks through the limit and reaches level 35.
Su Luo began trading components to other people's Sanctuary through Han Song's Sanctuary.
At that moment, all Survivors ' system Plane vibrated simultaneously, and a prominent announcement popped up:
[District War System Updated]
The last update to the District War System was the one before, which only updated the countdown to the next District War.
[Battlefield Composition]
The ten "qualified" regions will enter a separate temporary plane, with the plane environment randomly generated.
Each region can send a maximum of ten professionals to form a team to participate in the battle. Multiple teams are allowed to be sent from the same region, but the next team can only be arranged after the previous team is full.
[Core Rule of This Version: Points Leaderboard]
Themes include, but are not limited to: regional combat, clearing out specific monster groups, capturing and holding points, and completing high-difficulty timed objectives.
[Reward Distribution Principle: All participating regions are guaranteed a minimum reward; the higher the ranking, the better the quality and quantity of the rewards.]
[Settlement Rules for this Round: When one-tenth of the teams worldwide remain, the District War settlement will terminate.]
Su Luo scanned the list and found that the previous steps were largely the same, except for the change in the settlement rules. Last time it was about elimination and time limits, but this time it was about the total number of people.
The important part is what comes after.
[Special Rule for This Event: Continuation Battle Mechanism]
[Triggering condition: Only regions with a total score ranking in the top 10% of this world have the right to choose whether to "Continued Battle" within one hour after the settlement.]
[If you choose to Continued Battle, your team will not return but will be directly teleported to an advanced battlefield consisting of ten new and more powerful zones, starting a new round of competition with higher difficulty and greater rewards.]
[...]
The current District War System is only in its initial version and is rather rudimentary. More features and mechanisms will be Central Land introduced in subsequent updates.
The criteria for qualifying for Continued Battle and the allocation of eligibility are now more reasonable. It is no longer about having a single winner in a single battleground, but rather a top-tier representation globally.
This means that strong players will not completely lose their chances simply because they are eliminated in high-level matches.
So, the final criteria for judging world rewards might shift from the number of Continued Battle finishes to a more complex points-based ranking system?
Overall, this may be a positive update for professionals.
He quickly contacted Song Shige, and after a brief exchange of opinions, they determined their strategy for participating in the war and then submitted his application to join the fight.
[Registration successful. There are currently 64 registered professionals in Zone 76, automatically assigned to the seventh participating team]
[Group 7: Su Luo, Song Shige, Jing Yunxin, Guizishi]
This is a team that was deliberately not at full strength. The other members of the original team went to mentor newcomers, while Gao Fu was left to play as he pleased.
Su Luo and Song Shige chose this configuration mainly based on two considerations:
First of all, this is the second District War, so the advantage of a full squad will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the rules for this District War may not be the same as the last one—[if teams have the same score, they will be ranked according to the remaining number of players]... It's uncertain whether there are team points or not.
Secondly, based on the changes in obtaining the qualification for Continued Battle, Su Luo believes that the participants in this District War will not be randomly assigned like last time.
This might be hinting at a hidden matchmaking mechanism in this District War, which would group strong players together to avoid a large disparity in strength.
The update to the Continued Battle qualification is perhaps to ensure that losers in high-level matches can also participate in Continued Battles, while ensuring that weaker professional players are not crushed by overpowered monsters.
In these "high-level" matches, bringing too many teammates who are not strong enough will only require you to divert your energy to protect them, making you a burden. So you should bring fewer support characters.
Originally, Song Shige only wanted to bring a nanny, but Su Luo needed to install Laboratory components in the Sanctuary, so she brought Guizishi along as well.
There are currently 80 professionals in Zone 76. Sixteen of them, including Ye Xu, did not participate, each for their own reasons: unable to move, mental problems, recently changed jobs... In short, the screening process is quite strict, and no mistakes can be made.
Of course, there's no need to worry about a power Vacuum, or even about mentally unstable professionals.
Number One has a nuclear core.
At the same time, each squad participating in the District War was also issued a nuclear weapon, Su Luo had them try out the "Layton -style" Intimidation.
After finishing his chores, Su Luo habitually opened the World Channel. Just as he was about to go offline, his attention was immediately drawn to a post that had been deliberately pinned to the top:
[Ye Zizhen: I feel that the current level of Sanctuary is not keeping up with individual abilities, so I think I won't bring the Sanctuary into the District War this time.]
This message itself was Ye Zizhen's reply three days ago when several top professionals were discussing the practicality of Sanctuary.
[Su Luo: The power standard for Purple Skills (sample only from the Demon King, data incomplete) is as follows:...]
[Song Shige: By the way, is your Sanctuary very useful in combat? I feel it's somewhat of a burden.]
[Qing Yunnan: Useless, my Sanctuary is still only level six, too lazy to upgrade. @Jiang Mengrui, Miss Jiang, haven't you Trait Dungeon yet?]
[Jiang Mengrui: I passed yesterday... My Sanctuary is level seven, which is not bad.]
[Ye Fan: Do you guys have a way to level up to level eight?]
[Tali Lang: I've got mine at level eight, it's pretty good, but I don't recommend you upgrade it, it really consumes a lot of resources.]
[It is indeed a burden, but I will still bring it along; I love my little family.]
[Ye Zizhen:]
It was a conversation between several top professionals. These people either won first Continued Battle in the first District War or shone brightly in Trait Dungeons. Even if they had never met, they knew each other.
Ye Zizhen rarely replies to others, suddenly replied. At the time, no one paid much attention to it, as this message didn't seem like a typical notification from Ye Zizhen. They just glanced at it briefly.
