The Big Sucker Takes the Stage

"..." What Yang Bo had not expected was that the guy actually went to sleep after returning to the underground laboratory.

The conditions in the underground laboratory were excellent, and they even provided beautiful women as a service.

What kind of research are they doing? Yang Bo's curiosity was piqued.

Then he logged back into the game and practiced archery with Su Wei.

At ten that night, the regular competition draw was announced again.

This time, only 500 contestants remained in the regular competition. Over the course of one week, 200 people would be eliminated, with the bottom 200 in the points rankings eliminated after the week was over.

After a week of regular competition would come another week of Free-for-all Competition.

Then, in the third week, would come the top 100—the final round.

In other words, the Alliance contestants would have to remain in the Empire for at least another month, since there would also be a closing ceremony and an investiture ceremony.

The top five contestants would very likely be awarded Noble Titles.

There were two kinds of Noble Titles in the Aquamarine Empire. One was hereditary. Noble Titles awarded through the competition, for instance, could be inherited, but the requirements were extremely strict because such titles were practically the lowest rank.

The other kind could be bought with money. These could not be inherited, and even territories could be purchased.

But even those with money generally only bought titles, rarely territories, because purchased territories did not enjoy the same privileges as other nobles' lands, such as their own taxation rights, laws, armies, and so on.

And even then, only the lowest-ranking title could be bought.

Yang Bo was currently ranked eighteenth, mainly because he had received a bye once. Otherwise, he would probably have been ranked first.
