Food From the Sky

After Li Hua's threat, Qianhuan indeed stopped talking.

He pondered for a moment, then looked again at the three candidates on the screen.

Subsequently, Qianhuan made her own judgment.

"I'll choose the werewolf... White Driss."

I don't know if he genuinely believed the werewolves had a better chance of winning, or if he simply didn't trust Li Hua enough.

After Qianhuan made her choice.

White Driss's ink words also floated in front of him.

Next, I chose Carrot.

Carrot didn't hesitate much and chose the same option as Li Hua.

"I also choose Biten."

Next was Mosin-Nagant.

He and Carrot made the same choice.

Three people have already chosen Biten, so the card has given a hint.

"From now on, Biten won't be able to be chosen anymore."

After Ka finished speaking.

Next up was Robin.

Robin moment, Robin said, "Um... I'll choose 'Shadow-Type Pseudo-Human'."

After she finished speaking, the words "Shadow-Type Pseudo-Human" floated in front of her.

Next up was A'yu's turn.

After thinking it over, A'yu finally chose to side with Qianhuan.

"Then I'll choose the werewolf... well, his fur reminds me of my Schnauzer."

"What a hasty reason!"

Qianhuan couldn't help but say.

"None of your business!"

A'yu said aggressively.

The final choice fell to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"Um..."

Judging from the three players themselves, it's difficult to determine who is stronger.

Therefore, I can only follow my intuition.

Lin Yu pondered for a moment.

Is there any significance to choosing the reverse order of the number of "Delicious Paper" items...?

Lin Yu felt as if he had vaguely grasped something.

Perhaps forming a group with A'yu and Qianhuan would be the best choice?

Wrong...

That's probably not the case.

Lin Yu pondered for a moment and finally made a judgment.

"I'll choose 'Shadow-Type Pseudo-Human'!"

At times like this, you have no choice but to take a gamble.

Anyway... losing just means losing two ropes.

After everyone has made their selections, the name of the player they support floats in front of each person.

Octopus Ka put away his paper and pen and made a praying gesture.

"So..."

"The Banquet Game are about to begin, please enjoy!"

"This Game is also my Lord's favorite type."

After Octopus Ka finished speaking, the image on the screen began to change.

On the Arena, three simple iron tables appeared in Arena center.

Then, railings descended from the sky, dividing the Arena into three fan-shaped areas.

Each area was assigned exactly one table.

A sound like rolling thunder came from the sky.

"You blasphemers who have committed unforgivable sins, this is your chance!"

"Defeat your opponent... or return to the Eternal Prison!"

Although the three on the Arena are clearly not of the same race, and may not even have the same art style.

But the words from above the Arena made them understand completely.

Biten and White Driss, who had been somewhat desperate, perked up, their eyes blazing with intense passion.

Even the Shadow-Type Pseudo-Human that seemed to lack much intelligence raised its head slightly, as if it had gained fighting spirit.

But...

At the dining table outside the venue, Li Hua, in front of the screen, frowned slightly.

Why are the Arena separated?

Those railings have completely isolated the athletes from each other.

However, the sound that rang out again next answered the questions of Li Hua and the other Player.

"The duel between the three of you is being watched by the audience."

"Those viewers placed bets on different people of yours..."

"So, during the match, they might give you 'help'—in the form of giving you [Item]!"

As the voice spoke, Octopus Ka added a sentence.

"Hmm... you can use those floating names to throw Item into the corresponding areas on the field—any Item will do."

"Simply touch the Item to the name, and it will teleport you onto the field."

"Aside from the Item they consumed, the remaining Item will be returned to you after the duel."

"When they receive the Item, they will understand how to use Item."

"Of course, whether it will work or not... that's another matter."

"Furthermore—each person has a maximum of three opportunities to provide assistance!"

After Octopus Ka finished speaking, Lin Yu nodded.

"So it's still a race based on Item and support skills..."

Upon hearing this Rule, the other six Player at the table all showed thoughtful expressions.

Especially Li Hua.

"I see. No wonder they didn't ban my ability; the probability and certainty of it being applied to an individual player are just too low."

The Gambler muttered to himself.

Everyone realized that this competition wasn't entirely about "betting on horses" and relying on luck.

Perhaps the three "contestants" standing on the Arena do indeed have varying levels of strength.

But...

What truly matters is the "foundation" of their supporters!

The outcome of the battle hinges on who can provide more support Item to their players and at what time which Item to use!

Apart from Lin Yu, every expert Player sitting here has completed dozens of Instance and is backed by a large organization.

Therefore, they have a great many Item at their disposal.

Everyone has already started planning which Item they should deploy.

"We're separated by railings, so maybe we should provide some ranged attack Item first... No, maybe we'll withdraw when the fighting starts?"

"We need to throw in the strongest Item immediately..."

"How about we use healing Item first to ensure survival before we talk..."

Everyone's brain is working at lightning speed.

Mosin-Nagant and A'yu even took out their weapons in advance, seemingly ready to throw them in as soon as the match started!

However, under these circumstances, Lin Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

While everyone was thinking about "strategy," a sense of unease crept into Lin Yu's heart.

"No... no."

"I feel like we've overlooked something very important!"

This match is definitely not what everyone thinks.

And at this time...

Octopus Ka spoke again.

"Alright, everyone--"

"The match over there has started!"

Numerous dark, unidentified objects appeared above the Arena on the screen.

Then, the unidentified objects fell like a dense raindrop into the three areas, continuously hitting the three players and the table within each area.

"Pat-pat!"

All three contestants were clearly physically strong; none of them were injured or knocked down, but they were all somewhat disheveled.

The objects that fell on them inevitably made them a little dirty.

Having clearly seen the falling object, Lin Yu finally understood where the sense of unease came from.

They all got the competition format and "the content of the duel" wrong.

"Wow, a Food From the Sky..."

A'yu couldn't help but sigh.

What fell from the sky were all sorts of meat patties, bread, kebabs, vegetables, noodles...

All of them smelled delicious!

And then the Octopus Ka and the voice on the screen, which mostly belonged to the Deity, rang out together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the duel--"

"King of Gluttony Competition!"

"The Rule are simple: the first player to finish all the food in their area wins!"
