The Final Day
The Buddha's friendly attitude left Dokter somewhat bewildered.
On the contrary, Shi Jia was a good boy who firmly believed in the inherent goodness of human nature. He also knew that the strange uncle who liked to touch his Bald Head was generally not a bad person.
After being pulled up by Futu, Dokter couldn't help but ask, "Why did you say you lost? You not only blocked my strongest move, but you also countered it. By all accounts, I lost, right?"
"If I used the same power as you, I would be killed in this battle. The reason I broke through your attack was because I used far more power than you. You are the first demigod to force me to use my full strength."
Hearing Futu say this, Dokter felt much better. He knew that there was a big gap between his strength and Futu's. After this exchange with Futu, he even doubted whether Gu Ding could defeat Futu, although he had never seen Gu Ding's true strength limit.
"Since I lost, my points are yours." Fu Tu said, transferring all of his nearly 20 million points to Dokter before Dokter could even react.
"Hey, don't mess around, okay? What do you mean by transferring all your points to me?" Dokter was speechless. "These are the rules of the game. If you lose, you hand over all your points." Futu seemed quite nonchalant, turning to leave.
"Then what will you do? You'll be eliminated..."
"Don't worry, I can still plunder other people. I still have four and a half days." Fu Tu said this and disappeared from their sight with a few leaps.
On the Ranking List, Dokter, thanks to Floating Buddha's more than 19 million points, surpassed Liliath, who was originally ranked first, and became number one.
This dramatic change naturally caught the attention of many powerful figures. They also discovered that Futu, who was originally ranked eighth, had disappeared. In fact, Futu's name was nowhere to be found on the entire Ranking List.
"Dokter has killed the Buddha!!!" This news quickly spread throughout the virtual world.
Many powerful figures firmly believe this, as Dokter is also a super strong individual ranked fifth on the Demigod Prodigy Ranking. Although his overall strength is slightly weaker than Futu's, it's not impossible for him to defeat Futu, who is stronger than him, if he suddenly unleashes a killing move. After all, even the best can make mistakes, and often the difference in strength doesn't necessarily determine the final outcome of a duel.
However, the rest of Gu Ding Team sensed something was amiss, as they all knew Dokter well. Liliath immediately questioned Sea Emperor about what had happened. Sea Emperor didn't hide anything.
"So that's how it is. It seems Uncle Futu isn't a bad person after all," Gu Ding grinned after hearing the whole story.
"Don't be careless either. I just watched the battle between Futu and Dokter. The Combat Strength unleashed at the end was no weaker than yours at your peak. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, his Martial Dao Intent has entered the second major level, the Spiritual Affinity Realm. If he becomes your opponent, he will be an extremely troublesome fellow." The Sea Emperor was not very optimistic.
"I will not lose!" Gu Ding said confidently.
Although the dramatic changes in the Ranking List have attracted considerable attention, the game continues in this virtual world.
The first day of the fifth round passed quickly.
By the end of the first day, out of over 100,000 players, only about 8,000 remained. The loot-based gameplay resulted in an unprecedentedly high elimination rate, with a survival rate of less than 8%.
At the top of the Ranking List is Dokter, with a total of over 67 million points. Second is Liliath, with over 59 million points, approaching 60 million. Third is Karrot, with over 48 million points, Elsa is in fourth place with over 45 million points...
After defeating Hake, Gu Ding found several other players with considerable points, accumulating over 32 million points, and finally broke into the top ten again, ranking eighth.
In the following days, clashes between various powerful individuals became commonplace.
Gu Ding fought against Karrot, Scarlet, Miniana, and even Na Luo, but he was never assigned to the same area as Futu.
Over the course of three days, Futu's points skyrocketed. The drop in points had led many powerful figures to believe he wasn't invincible, prompting several high-point holders to actively challenge him. This propelled Futu's points to the top three on the Ranking List.
In first place remains Dokter, maintaining his lead with over 140 million points. Second is Liliath, with over 130 million points. Futu ranks third with over 120 million points, followed by Karrot in fourth and Elsa in fifth, both with over 110 million points. Gu Ding and Scarlet are sixth and seventh respectively, both with just over 100 million points.
After three days, of the original eight thousand players, less than two thousand remain.
On the eve of the final day, the woman's voice rang out again in the sky.
"The game is about to enter its final day of the fifth round, which is also the final day of this game. First, I congratulate all the survivors. Congratulations on surviving. Your ability to hold on until now proves that you are among the most powerful demigods. But..."
Hearing this "but," many people's hearts clenched, because the appearance of this word usually means that things have taken a bad turn.
"However, due to the sharp decrease in the number of players and the large number of game zones, everyone's exploration has been restricted, making it increasingly difficult to obtain points. Therefore, the game rules for the final day have been changed. We hope everyone can take advantage of these changes to earn more points."
"Change 1: The isolation between the five zones has been completely eliminated. No matter which zone you are teleported to, you can freely enter other zones without any restrictions."
"Change 2: The original top 1,000 Ranking List has been expanded to 2,000, so that all surviving players will appear on the Ranking List."
"Change 3: The previous method of spending points to check the position of players on the Ranking List has been changed to allow you to check the position of all players for free."
"Change 4: The points-based looting mode has been changed. Players who are looted can concede, and each player has three conceding rights. After conceding, half of the points are given to the looter, but the player will not be eliminated."
"Change 5: Team mode has been removed, and the authority to allocate points after forming a team has been eliminated."
"Change 6: The ability for players to actively transfer points between each other has been removed."
"Please remember these six new game rules. The countdown for the final teleportation is about to begin. Have fun!" After the female voice finished speaking, a mechanical countdown sounded from the sky.
"...3,, 1..."
The twenty-fifth day has finally arrived, which is also the last day of this virtual world game.
Fa Te himself was a little incredulous that he had actually made it to the last day, even though he had already fallen off the Ranking List long ago.
The moment he was teleported to the new area, Fa Te felt a weight on his body. He knew he had been teleported to the Boulder Zone again. In this final round of the game, he had already experienced the other four areas, but had never been to the Boulder Zone before. Therefore, it was not difficult to guess that the final teleportation point would be here, because the teleportation area would not be repeated in each round.
Feeling the intense gravity pressing down on him, Fa Te tried his best to adapt to the pressure. He had been to this place four times before and was not unfamiliar with it. However, the gravity was always stronger each time he came, so he was always a little unaccustomed to it. He also knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult to break free from the gravitational pull of this place in a short time; he could only adapt slowly.
Taking advantage of this lull, he opened the Ranking List page again.
On the projected screen, everyone's names were much smaller; the list, which originally could only hold one thousand names, now had a full one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three names. This number also represented the current number of players remaining in the game.
Fa Te quickly found his name, ranked 1,586th, which was near the bottom among the survivors. Fa Te didn't complain; he knew very well that his current strength was only at this level, and it was already difficult enough that he had survived.
Then, Fa Te found the names of the other team members: Dokter, Liliath, Gu Ding, Elsa, all prominently displayed on the Ranking List. He suddenly remembered someone else, "Miko is doing..."
When Fat entered Miko's name into the search engine, Fa Te was surprised to find that Miko, like himself, hadn't been eliminated. What surprised him even more was that Miko's ranking was higher than his, at 1163. Although not in the top 1000, it was still quite remarkable, considering the boy was only ten years old.
"1.25 million points, how did he get that?" Fa Te was surprised that a child who couldn't see anything had almost twice as many points as him.
Just as Fa Te was reviewing this information, a figure slowly walked towards him.
"The Gu Ding Pirate Crew, you actually have someone as weak as you? You've made it to the very last day, and you still can't even escape the gravity of the Boulder Zone." The speaker was a Golden-haired Youth. "You've managed to get this far; I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky, perhaps more unlucky. If you were lucky, you would have been eliminated long ago, not waiting until now. And now, you've run into me..."
"What do you want?" Fa Te knew he was no match for his opponent, a fact easily discerned from the fact that the opponent moved through the Boulder Zone as if it were flat ground.
"You have two choices. One is to be eliminated by me and lose all your points. The other is to admit defeat to me three times in a row and give up your points. If I'm in a good mood, I might just turn around and leave..." The Golden-haired Youth brushed his hair with one hand and smiled at Fa Te.
