Three Birds with One Stone, a Bizarre Challenge Quest!

As it turns out, movies may need logic, but reality never does!

When they saw Yang Chan's name appear among the four, and then subtly sought confirmation from Lu Yongyi...

In Su Mo's mind, it was as if ten thousand alpacas were surging through, not only eating all the grass on the grassland but also leaving behind a mess!

"When did my sister gain the ability to communicate with animals and command a group of Treasure Fish to help the Tundra advance?"

"Holy crap, she's the most important one out of the four? Does that make sense?"

Staring blankly at the detailed information sent by Lu Yongyi, Su Mo was dumbfounded!

Although every night before falling asleep, Su Mo had imagined countless times how to sail the Hope and how to bring Su Chan from the Tundra in style.

But suddenly, the brother and sister will be able to meet again soon, still in the ruins.

Even after pinching himself hard a few times, Su Mo still couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Even if he couldn't complete the title upgrade mission this time, Su Mo was completely satisfied with fulfilling the prerequisites for Tier 5 Shelter and seeing his sister! And now, just thinking that there were only twenty minutes left before he could enter the ruins and have a brother-sister reunion.

Holding the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade tightly beside him, Su Mo's hands were cold, but his heart was pounding with warmth.

Suppressing his inner elation, Su Mo focused his attention on the information about the ruins sent by Lu Yongyi and began to calm himself down, taking advantage of the last bit of time to read it.

The rules, a thousand words long and detailed.

Although it doesn't delve into the core content of the Group Ruins, it contains a considerable amount of useful information.

After reading it and summarizing it, Su Mo listed three points to note in his mind.

First, just like Group Ruins Liangfang Town Ruins, once everyone enters the Group Ruins, all game functions except for the Storage Space will be disabled.

Su Mo was neither surprised nor flustered by the only point highlighted in red among all the precautions.

After all, all you need in the ruins is Storage Space; you don't need any other game features.

Secondly, the Group Ruins are not the kind of battle Gu Breeding Chicken Eating Battle Royale where most people imagine, nor do they require humans to fight each other or humans to fight against other races.

In its original intent, this Ocean Overlord Promotion Tournament was a friendly competition set up by the Ocean God to select stronger individuals, not to incite a bloodbath.

Therefore, once everyone enters the Group Ruins, they will enter a level-based mode.

Furthermore, in addition to the dangers posed by the levels themselves, everyone is a commander. Anyone who dares to attack another commander will be kicked out of the ruins by the game rules and will permanently lose their eligibility for promotion.

Of course, there is no specific data on the exact number of levels in the official information currently available, but at least one thing is certain.

After completing the initial individual levels, team levels will definitely be unlocked later, requiring cooperative gameplay.

This is precisely the point Lu Yongyi made when he said to take care of his own people.

Third, once the advancement quest for this Tier 4 Title begins, any player in the wasteland who possesses a core and the title of Ocean Friend will unlock a brand new feature.

This feature is similar to disaster relief live streaming, but with some modifications.

All the spectators outside can see how each leader performs, and in doing so, choose the leader they want to follow.

Additionally, based on the number of followers, a weighted statistic will be calculated after the Group Ruins are completed, according to a list of rankings.

The higher your ranking, the greater the reward from the Ocean God!

"Interesting, but the rules are relatively friendly. It's not like those awful games like Fall Guys where everyone can sabotage each other."

"If it's a one-on-one obstacle course competition, physical fitness will play a significant role, and I should be able to gain a considerable advantage!"

"Furthermore, everyone is prohibited from attacking each other. Given Su Chan's quick wit, she shouldn't be foolish enough to charge in recklessly, so we can rest assured about her safety."

From the beginning, Su Mo had some suspicions about the competition for Ocean Overlord, but seeing these rules only deepened his thoughts.

Although the Ocean God is asleep and hiding, he should still wield considerable authority.

It's only because he's not a major shareholder that he's being exploited and bullied by the game company.

This competition, for example, vaguely reflects the Fertile Soil Era and the gods' beautiful vision that everyone could compete, yet remain friendly.

With only one and a half minutes left, after summarizing all the important points, Su Mo stopped thinking and pressed the earpiece to give his final instructions.

Since there is no danger in the checkpoint, Gonggong's combat readiness level can naturally be lowered.

Furthermore, even though he had already obtained most of the information, which concerned his sister's safety, Su Mo still asked Oreo to perform a divination.

During this period, all the news I received from Oreo was that everything was fine.

And this time, Oreo's feedback did not disappoint Su Mo either!

"Alright, I'm getting ready to go. Be careful, and prioritize your own safety and the safety of the Hope!"

Listening to the respectful replies from the three children in the Bluetooth Headset, Su Mo reached out his leather-covered hand, gently removed the Bluetooth Headset, and placed it beside his pillow.

[Greetings, Lord Su Mo of the Ocean Overlord! Only thirty seconds remain until the start of the Ocean Overlord Promotion Tournament]

Please do not bring any creatures that have not reached the Tier 4 Title into the room, and please do not bring any items that would dishonor the dignity of the Ocean God into the room.

This Group Ruins competition emphasizes fairness, friendliness, and impartiality. Please strictly abide by the relic rules; otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.

[Ten seconds remaining before teleportation. Please ensure that no living creatures are within three meters of you.]

[Teleportation initiated! Best of luck in the ruins!]

As the game's final notification sound faded, Su Mo, gripping his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, vanished slowly from the Captain's Cabin's cabin with a flash of dark light.

Hanging in the distance, a few migratory birds, reluctant to leave the Hope, squawked a few times after seeing the wondrous sight in the Captain's Cabin.

Then, silence returned, just like inside the room. [Congratulations, Ocean Overlord Su Mo! You have successfully entered the ruins of the Large-Scale Group Competition and the Large-Scale Race Competition.]

Please keep the following precautions in mind during the upcoming levels.

[.]

Involving fifth-tier titles and the advancement of nearly 300,000 Ocean Overlord, this Group Ruins teleportation was not as miraculous as imagined.

There was only a slight pause when the time came.

When the game sounds came again, the entire teleportation process was complete.

Because of the game's limitations, and thanks to the pre-emptive adaptation provided by the Heaven Stealing Secret Talisman, Su Mo was not anxious after realizing he had lost control of his body. He patiently listened as the game began to explain the rules.

From the limitations to the challenge mode, the game's instructions and precautions were no different from the information we had received before.

Of course, the game places a slightly different emphasis on the specific rewards.

[This Group Ruins challenge has 10 promotion opportunities for Ocean Overlord. Those who rank in the top ten overall will be able to advance their titles.]

[In addition, each round of this level will have a reward. After clearing the level, you will have the right to own the reward for that level.]

[Note: If you choose to obtain the reward during a level, you will lose the ability to obtain the item again in subsequent levels.]

[Note: If you choose to accumulate rewards during the challenge, each successful completion of a level will upgrade your reward items.]

[Note: Once you select the reward accumulation option, you will lose the ability to select items if you fail the level.]

[Good luck with your challenge!]

As the game finished reading its last sentence, Su Mo, who had been standing still waiting, suddenly found himself relaxed and regained control of his body.

The next moment, as my five senses returned, it felt like I had entered a market, and a rumbling noise began to ring in my ears.

"Damn, they're finally in!"

"Damn it, this game took away my control of my body, it scared the hell out of me!"

"Looking for a team? Anyone want to team up? I've been a professional aquaculture breeder for fifteen years, a swimmer for ten, and I'm very agile. Anyone want to team up for this challenge?"

"Holy crap, this mermaid next to me is so damn beautiful, I'm in love!"

"How do I get into the level? Can any experts tell me?"

Hearing the beautiful Chinese language spoken around him, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes and looked around with curiosity.

Hmm, this is definitely Ocean God!

Just as expected, everyone was indeed in the ocean.

But contrary to expectations, everyone was not free at this moment. Instead, they were like specimens preserved in formalin, placed in a display case.

All the glass cabinets were 3*3*3 (m) in size, and they were neatly stacked together, which looked quite spectacular.

Through the glass display case, Su Mo could clearly see that everyone around him, including those in front, behind, to the left, and above him, were normal human beings.

But beneath his feet was a hideous, enormous crab alien.

The crab was not small, and due to its mutation, it had enormous claws. Standing high in the display case, Su Mo could clearly see how much pain it was enduring.

"The crabs downstairs, this display case isn't very big, please bear with it!"

Curious, it tapped its own floor, provoking the crab below to erupt in impotent rage.

After confirming that the glass cabinet was immune to any harm, Su Mo was temporarily relieved and summoned the Game Panel with a thought.

The gray-black panel has almost all functions disabled, leaving only a Storage Space.

But at the very back of the panel, a new function appeared.

Challenge!

With his mind manifesting as a finger, Su Mo gently tapped the screen, instantly entering a completely new interface.

Welcome, Su Mo, the Ocean Overlord, to this challenge page. A friendly reminder: you can keep your current name or create your own ruler's name and use that name to complete the challenge.

The title of "Commander" will not affect your reward distribution, and a good title will more easily attract more followers!

With blue ripples shimmering around it, and seeing the rename option pop up on the panel, Su Mo entered a new name almost without hesitation. "General Xing Daorong!"

The name sounds very dignified. Whether it's the general or the given name, even without saying it aloud, it evokes a sense of involuntary reverence.

Furthermore, Su Mo believed that as long as Su Chan saw this ID, she would definitely know that it was him!

"Hehe, it is our duty to restore the prestige of our Supreme General!"

With a new name and no longer worried about being exposed, Su Mo's playing style and mentality have become more unrestrained.

Meanwhile, out of the corner of his eye, he saw more and more people disappearing into the glass cabinet beside him as they entered the challenge area.

Su Mo was not in a hurry and patiently examined the remaining functions on the interface.

Currently, a large "Challenge" sign is located in the middle of the entire page.

Furthermore, after these two words, there is a number 1, which means that Su Mo is currently in the first stage.

In the bottom left corner of the interface, there is a small rewards section, which is currently empty because the first level has not yet been completed.

However, in the upper right corner of the interface, a leaderboard is displayed, showing the current progress of the challenge.

In just three minutes, the top 100 spots on the leaderboard have already been filled.

The top-ranked player Gambling Freak Lu Wei, currently has 3 points, giving them a 0.22-point advantage over the second-place player.

Fa Hai, ranked 100th, currently has 0.68 points, a full 2 points behind the first place.

After reviewing the list and confirming that humans currently occupy 75 seats, giving them a significant advantage, Su Mo remained calm and composed. He transformed his thoughts into a large hand and heavily clicked on the challenge level.

The next second, like the other people who disappeared, Su Mo's glass case was also empty, leaving only the crab downstairs pounding the seemingly fragile but actually incredibly sturdy glass case in a helpless rage!
