Game Rules

The Gu Ding Team, of course, also saw the message released by the Federal Government, and they were somewhat surprised. In this era, although the Federal Government had significantly reduced its crackdown on Interstellar Pirate, it had never invited Interstellar Pirate or similar forces to participate in any activities, let alone activities with rewards. Normally, even if Interstellar Pirate received benefits from the Federal Government, they were always those who had received honors from the Federal Government.

"Is this some kind of trapping plan?" Liliath was the first to raise a doubt. "Lure those potential Interstellar Pirate there, then imprison them all and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"It's indeed suspicious that the Federal Government suddenly released such a message. After all, we Interstellar Pirate are their hostile forces. It's strange that they claim to have a mysterious reward but don't say what it is. If they really want to attract many powerful people, it would be more attractive to just post the generous reward directly." The Sea Emperor also raised some questions.

"Logically speaking, Interstellar Pirate are the enemy of the Federal Government, that's true. But if there's a more powerful enemy, it's not impossible for the Federal Government's top brass to temporarily set aside their conflict with the Interstellar Pirate," Miko, resting her chin on her hand. "To add to that, before the Federal Government released that news just now, all the rumors on SkyNet were wiped out without a trace. Even I can't find any information about them anymore; it's probably SkyNet's doing," Sea Emperor suddenly spoke up, making the whole matter even more perplexing.

"The more this is the case, the more it proves that it's related to that ruin." Miko's expression was very certain.

"From this perspective, it's highly likely that the Federal Government's selection of only the top one thousand is for those spots in that ruin. But there's something I don't understand. A ruin that attracts the attention of the high-ranking officials of both races should be a very important one. Why are only some demigods being selected instead of the truly powerful ones?" The Sea Emperor was puzzled. "That explanation is a bit far-fetched, because the more powerful the ruin, the fewer restrictions there should be on cultivation levels, but we can't rule out the possibility you mentioned." The Sea Emperor felt that Gu Ding's conjecture was unlikely.

Just as Gu Ding and the others were discussing this issue, Gu Ding, Elsa, Liliath, and Dokter all received text message notifications almost simultaneously.

Gu Ding and the other three received the same message. In addition to the content of the message, the final signature was also alarming. It was the joint signature of the Federal Government leader Abel, and the two deputy leaders.

"It seems the Federal Government is very concerned about this ranking selection. I estimate that all three hundred people on the Demigod Prodigy Ranking have received this news. Whatever. Since it's related to a powerful ruin, I won't give up my spot to enter the ruin." Gu Ding always felt that he was still missing something to break through to the god level. He had a strange premonition that the possibility of breaking through this time by entering that ruin was very high.

"Judging from this message, I estimate that all the powerful demigods in the Universe Sea will participate in this hunting game. Count me in! I really want to know just how powerful I am!" Dokter has always enjoyed challenging others and is also eager to try.

"I want to join too, it sounds like a lot of fun!" Elsa, being a violent person herself, naturally joined in the fun.

Liliath raised her eyebrows. "Alright, I'd also like to see the results of my recent training."

"Can I participate too?" Miko asked somewhat uncertainly, though he seemed a little excited.

"Of course you can. It's just a virtual game anyway, so it doesn't matter if you die." Gu Ding nodded. "I think you and Fa Te should both participate. Take this opportunity to improve your combat skills. After all, most of the demigods in the Universe Sea will be participating this time, and it will be hard to find such training opportunities in the future."

Fa Te was actually a little afraid. Although he was quite powerful, comparable to Mid-rank God, he wasn't very good at fighting. Hearing what Gu Ding said, he thought about it and realized it was just a game, and participating wouldn't be a big deal, so he nodded in agreement.

Bigge looked somewhat disappointed. He also wanted to participate in this battle, but his cultivation level had exceeded the limit, so he could not participate.

Robert and Tagore, who also exceeded the cultivation limit, were also ineligible to participate.

As for Blue, he seems to be a demigod. As Devouring Beast, he should have amazing combat power, but he has never shown any combat power, so no one expects him to do anything. As for this kind of competition, he was not included.

When Gu Ding and his group made their decision and went to register, they discovered that the number of registration numbers had already reached over 800,000.

"There are so many people signing up. In less than half an hour, more than 800,000 people have already signed up. How can there be so many demigods in the Universe Sea?" Liliath was very surprised.

"There are actually quite a few demigods in the Universe Sea, because in addition to those who entered from various Universe Country, there are also a large number of native inhabitants. However, due to the limitations of their cultivation levels, information about demigods rarely appears in the news. Famous demigods are few in number, so many people think that there are few demigods in the Universe Sea," the Sea Emperor explained.

"The registration is complete. Take these three days to further improve your skills. In Robert's domain, this is a three-month period. But be careful not to accidentally break through to the god level," Gu Ding grinned.

Three days passed quickly, and Gu Ding and his group's Combat Strength improved slightly.

The notification that the virtual hunting game had started was sent to the Smart Watch of every registered participant without exception.

Following the instructions on their wristwatches, Gu Ding and his friends entered the game.

Gu Ding felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly he found himself in a peculiar area. The environment before him made him frown.

Almost no patch of the cracked earth remained intact. It bore black, scorched marks, with flames and billowing smoke visible everywhere. In the distance, several towering volcanoes could be seen, emitting thunderous roars. Meteorites occasionally fell from the sky, pounding the ground with deafening explosions and causing the earth to tremble intermittently—a scene straight out of the apocalypse.

"Welcome everyone to the game. Now I'll give you my explanation."

A female voice came from the sky, clearly reaching the ears of every player.

"In this game, all players' physical data is completely consistent with reality, and all sensations generated in the game, including pain and hallucinations, are also completely consistent with reality. Therefore, players with special abilities don't need to worry about their abilities becoming ineffective here. The items in everyone's Storage Space are also generated by SkyNet simulation, and the types and quantities of items in everyone's actual Storage Space are completely consistent, because the items in the Storage Space can also be considered part of strength in real combat. Everyone can use them freely. Using them in the game will incur corresponding costs, but the quantity of physical items in the Storage Space will not decrease after leaving the game, so you can rest assured. However, the detection function of Smart Watch cannot be used in this world, and everyone's detection capabilities have been weakened by ten thousand times and will be affected by environmental interference."...

"A total of 15.88 million players have registered for this event, and the number of players who have officially entered the game is roughly the same. The game will last for 25 days, during which time you will not be able to leave the game. However, the game will not cause any loss of mental energy, so you can rest assured that it will not affect your health. As for eating, since you are all demigods, you should be able to go 25 days without drinking water without any problems."

"After 25 days, there will be a points ranking. The top 1,000 will be the ultimate winners of this reward. As for points, there are two main ways to obtain them: survival points and hunting points."

"Let me start by talking about the survival points. I believe everyone has already noticed that the current environment is very harsh. This is because we have divided the game into five areas, and distributed these 15 million players evenly among these five areas. These five areas are the Flame Zone, the Purple Lightning Zone, the Gale Zone, the Frost Zone, and the Boulder Zone."

"The Flame Zone, as the name suggests, is a world of flames. The Purple Lightning Zone is a world of lightning strikes, and the environments of the other zones are similarly described by their names. All five zones are dangerous places full of changes. The damage caused by all these environments is at least at the level of High-rank God. Don't think that the lightning in the Purple Lightning Zone is just ordinary lightning; any bolt of lightning is at least comparable to a full-force attack from One-Star High-rank God. Any meteorite impact in the Flame Zone is also at least comparable to a full-force attack from One-Star High-rank God, and the same applies to the other zones. In the game, once you die, you are immediately eliminated."

"Each person will be randomly teleported to a different area each day without repeating any. In other words, for the first five days, everyone will experience five different environments, provided they are not eliminated. Starting on the sixth day, the game enters its second round, and the difficulty increases. The attacks of all natural environments are upgraded to the level of Two-Star High-rank God, and the remaining players will be randomly teleported five more times. From the eleventh to the fifteenth day, the difficulty increases again, and the attack power of the natural environments is upgraded to the level of a three-star High-rank God. From the sixteenth to the twentieth day, the attack power is at the level of a four-star High-rank God, and from the twenty-first to the twenty-fifth day, the attack power is upgraded to the level of Five-Star High-rank God."

"The game consists of five rounds. In the first round, which lasts for five days, everyone who survives will receive 100 points per day. In the second round, the points will be 200 points per day, and so on. In the fifth round, the points will be 500 points per day."

"Let me talk about the hunting points. Since this game is called a hunting game, I personally prefer to call it Hunting Game. The harsh environment is just an appetizer; the key is the hunting. In the game, there are special creatures in various environments. The weakest of these creatures are at the level of Low-rank God, while the strongest are at the level of Peak-rank God."

"Each time you hunt a creature at the level of Low-rank God, you will receive 1 to 5 points, corresponding to the star rating of the creature. One-Star Low-rank God is worth 1 point, two-star is worth 2 points, and so on. Hunting Mid-rank God creature will earn you 10 to 50 points, also corresponding to the star rating of the creature. Hunting High-rank God creature will earn you 100 to 500 points. And hunting Peak-rank God will earn you 1000 to 5000 points."

"Of course, in addition to Hunting Game, you can also hunt humans. As long as you hunt a human, you can take all the points he has earned and add them to your own score."

"One last thing I'd like to remind everyone: to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the rankings, the game will list the top 1,000 players in real time, which everyone can view for free. However, if you want to check the position of someone on the rankings, you must pay a certain amount of points. The positions of people outside the rankings cannot be checked."

"If you didn't understand what I just said, you can check the game hints, where there will be more detailed explanations with pictures and text."

"Alright, let the game officially begin. Have fun, everyone!"
