Settings and Strategy

"The candidate guessed correctly; ten points in Gryffindor."

Wang Yan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sorry, this is Konoha, not Hogwarts. We can't just give extra points to examinees based on their personal preferences. Just take it as a joke."

The examinee who had guessed the truth was initially overjoyed but then became sad. He was filled with resentment but dared not show it. He could only mutter a few words to himself to vent his frustration.

After all, Wang Yan has been incredibly stylish from yesterday to today, and he made a fool of everyone from the very beginning. No one, not even a fool, would believe that he has no real power or influence.

"Hmm... it seems there's no one to let me show off and embarrass myself, that's a bit of a shame..."

Wang Yan's smile vanished instantly, seamlessly switching to a poker face. "Next, I'd like to introduce a Virtual Reality game to everyone— 'Honor League'!"

After he finished speaking, he snapped his the Snap.

Snap!

Five hundred and seventy-five Game Helmet instantly appeared next to each examinee.

"Although it looks similar to the helmet from yesterday, it is actually a completely different thing."

"This Virtual Reality can perfectly reproduce the abilities of the Dou Zhe in the battle, without blocking out real-world memories. In addition, it incorporates some environmental and equipment factors, which can fully test the participants' adaptability and resourcefulness."

"In this game, you will not truly die. Even if you are beheaded, have your heart pierced, or are even burned to ashes, it will not affect reality."

"All candidates are free to use any means necessary; this is the ultimate showdown!"

At this point, the spectators and examinees in the arena began to whisper among themselves and discuss the matter enthusiastically.

If Wang Yan wasn't lying, this so-called Virtual Reality game is simply a groundbreaking invention!

Some quick-witted rulers of small countries and the Kage of Shinobu villages immediately recognized the practical value of this helmet!

There's no need to worry about injury or death; it's a 100% Simulation. This means that practical combat experience is no longer a problem in training ninjas! If this technology could be introduced into one's own faction, it probably wouldn't take many years for them to rise rapidly!

Wang Yan gave them some time to discuss before continuing, "In the game, even if you exhaust your Chakra and stamina, you can Reparo completely in the next match! The only limitation for the examinees is their mental endurance."

"Therefore, the current plan is to hold 10 matches per day!"

Therefore, the entire Second Order of the competition will last a full 12 days.

This process takes too long! If any other organization were to hold this event, there would be resistance to this rule.

However, because Konoha kept coming up with amazing things, many forces took a liking to the Virtual Reality Game Helmet and did not jump out to antagonize Konoha at this time.

After all, how much could a nation's strength be improved in just twelve days, even if it were devoted entirely to handling government affairs?

0.5 percent? 1 percent?

After the host gave a passionate explanation, the Second Order of the exam officially began!

Ten super-large screens were set up on the field to broadcast the candidates' battles in the virtual world in real time.

Blue sky and white clouds, Qing Shan.

This is the 041 standard battlefield map of "Honor League".

"Huh?"

Naruto looked around for a while, his expression somewhat regretful. "It's not much different from the 'Shadow Breaking the Firmament' world! I thought there would be some fun stuff..."

Sasuke chopped him with a chop to the neck. "Each team has to play all 114 matches. There's no room for luck. And our written test scores weren't that great, which means we can't afford to lose any matches due to carelessness when facing weaker teams, understand?"

Naruto had just been chopped in the hand, turned around, rubbing the back of his neck, and glared at Sasuke: "Loser Sasuke! How dare you say that? You're the worst student in Team 7 on the written test!"

Sasuke's forehead veins bulged, and his face turned black.

He began to wonder if he had been bewitched when he borrowed Reward Points from Orochimaru to exchange for that ability.

Having a genuine ability to be lucky, he now makes many judgments based on intuition and whims, without needing any evidence or reasoning.

The same principle applied to the time when Naruto went to see Orochimaru to make a deal—borrowing money to exchange for abilities.

Seeing the two of them start their love-hate relationship again, Sakura smiled awkwardly but politely, "How's your training of that ability going? Isn't it supposed to require a lot of teamwork? This can't go on..."

Sasuke and Naruto exchanged a glance, snorted simultaneously, turned their heads, and said in unison, "As long as he doesn't mess things up!"

Compared to the three members of Class 7, the newly joined Rock Lee and Tenten were experiencing Virtual Reality games for the first time, so they inevitably acted like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time.

However, they did not forget their mission and quickly went through the "beginner's tutorial" to familiarize themselves with their purpose.

Eliminate as many enemy soldiers as possible to gain points and win equipment and items rewarded by the "God of Honor" to enhance your strength. At the same time, kill the enemy Admiral and destroy the opponent's base! Achieve victory!

"Do we just need to confirm that the last attack that killed the soldier was ours...?" Sakura's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"God of Honor? You get rewarded immediately after gaining enough battle merits! Is this what they call game settings? It's really convenient!" Tenten seemed to really like this setting.

"Random reward equipment?"

Sasuke smiled when he saw the word "random".

Some test-takers might painstakingly eliminate soldiers to gain merit, only to end up with an extremely useless piece of equipment.

But he was different.

Fortune smiled upon him!

One hundred and fifteen teams have completed the first round of battles, with each team having its own wins and losses. Teams that scored 5 points are naturally in high spirits, while teams that suffered their first defeat are demoralized.

Because it was the first time anyone had encountered this kind of MOBA-style Virtual Reality competitive game, many candidates only learned after a match that they could exchange equipment bestowed by the gods by eliminating enemy soldiers, thereby enhancing their individual strength.

In short, the first game was a complete rookie battle.

Teams with stronger overall strength and better adaptability gained an early advantage.

Even though it was a clash of novices, it still got the audience, who had never seen a competition like this before, excited.

Some outstanding candidates have already gained their own personal fans.

The opponents that Class 7 encountered in the first round of battles were relatively weak, with low hard power and zero battlefield strategy. They did not develop their skills at all, and the five of them blindly pushed forward as a group, thinking that they could catch the enemy off guard.

Unfortunately, their offensive was futile.

Taking advantage of the "Barrier Tower's" location, Naruto directly unleashed the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Once you pull out the Rasengan, it's truly...

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.
