The Reason for Victory, Gao Linzhi's Entertainment

Until this encounter, when they met the pet of the "Rugged Glory Guild"—the Crimson Flame Bat.

He thought the legend of his family's ducks' invincibility was about to end.

But the ending was still astonishing.

Remain calm in a crisis.

Facing an opponent whose combat power and bloodline far surpassed its own, this Lovebond Duck showed no fear whatsoever, calmly launching its unique courtship offensive.

It circled around the Crimson Flame Bat, showing off its mottled, scraggly fur.

Perhaps in its eyes, Warcraft in the world are only divided into two categories: those that can fly and those that cannot.

This person before me, capable of soaring through the skies, is surely a match made in heaven.

Thus, the renowned and highly anticipated Crimson Flame Bat was dumbfounded and defeated.

At this time.

Gao Linzhi was also casually watching the match.

Life is so boring, we always need to see some excitement.

He saw the truth at a glance.

This duck can release a kind of mental wave that can reduce the intelligence of its target...

Seeing their Powerful pet defeated by a scruffy duck, without even having a chance to use its special skill, they were overwhelmed by the duck's indescribable offensive.

Not only were the Rugged Glory Guild indignant, but the spectators also expressed their incomprehension.

"What's wrong with this world!"

"Can a duck really act so arrogantly? Who does it think it is, daring to mess with whomever it wants?"

"My Summoned Beast was ruined by this tactic! I'm going to complain, I'm going to report it to the game designers!"

"To be honest, I've never heard of this 'Lovebond Duck' before. Could it really be a very special mutant?"

"Perhaps it possesses mental skills, capable of intimidating the opponent at the start, lowering their guard, and then seizing the opportunity to win."

"Don't overthink it. Its owner has confirmed that it's just an ordinary duck, the only unusual thing about it is its exceptionally thick skin and overconfidence."

"That's ridiculous! This is a battlefield. You think you can win just by being thick-skinned? There must be some hidden attributes or talents!" one player scoffed.

"The defeat of the Crimson Flame Bat will likely break the hearts of many players."

"An epic dark horse broke into the top ten; no one could have predicted it."

"The bookmaker has won big! I bet they'll make it into the top ten!"

"Let's be even bolder, I'll bet on the top three! Judging by this momentum, the Earthshaking Vajra Bear and the Blazing Fire Golden Ape are no match for it."

"Brother Duck, I believe in you!"

The highly anticipated "Lovebond Duck" has once again encountered the ace of the Legion Guild — Sky-Soaring Mystic Crane— in the round of 20 to 10.

This Warcraft, renowned in the God's Domain for its wisdom, strategy, and skill, has been meticulously nurtured by the Legion Guild and has reached its peak combat power. Everyone believes that it is invincible.

However, reality took an unexpected turn—it also lost, defeated by this wretched-looking duck!

"It can't be real! How could this be!"

"How could the Sky-Soaring Mystic Crane lose? It surrendered without even taking off!"

"What on earth is the Legion Guild doing? Isn't this their so-called most advanced air force?"

"I thought this was a sure win, but I lost everything! The authorities must give an explanation!"

"Ridiculous! Our ducks are all about surprise attacks! They rise to the challenge! We'll always support the duck team!"

"The people upstairs must have made a killing... This was an absolutely incredible comeback."

"At this rate, it's not impossible for the duck to break into the top five."

Not only were the spectators shocked, but the Legion Guild itself found the outcome even more unacceptable.

Sky-Soaring Mystic Crane was originally a level 40 leader-level being. As the king of the Black Crane clan, he was always regarded by the Legion Guild as their trump card in the competition for the top three, but he suffered a crushing defeat here!

"Immediately check the condition of the Sky-Soaring Mystic Crane. Why is it hesitant to fight?"

"Tell its contractor, Captain Chen Feng, to communicate as soon as possible—does that duck possess some kind of special ability?"

The Legion Guild's leadership was equally perplexed.

"We've already inquired," Captain Chen Feng said dejectedly. "The opponent's Summoned Beast might possess some kind of disruptive skill or innate characteristic."

"As soon as Xuanhe entered the duel, his mind became scattered, and he was completely unable to control himself."

"It seems this duck has quite a history."

"We also need to investigate their background. If we can find similar individuals, they might play an unexpected role in the future."

If it was unexpected that the Lovebond Duck triumphantly made it into the top ten, then the advancement of Chongxing's "Azure-Scaled Dragon Python" was exactly what everyone expected.

Although it was Summoned Beast obtained early on, its strength far surpasses its peers, and it has never been caught up with. Entering the top ten is already a foregone conclusion.

"I told you long ago, Chongxing's companions are no Common Tier. My previous worries were completely unnecessary."

"As expected, betting on Chongxing Zhongxing was the right move! Even the Blazing Fire Golden Ape from the Dragon Diagram Guild was defeated in one strike, so their chances of winning the championship are very high!"

To be fair, if the "Azure-Scaled Dragon Python" were just an ordinary leader-level Warcraft, it would indeed be difficult for it to compete with the high-level Summoned Beast cultivated by various forces—its starting base level is ultimately too low.

Its ability to defeat opponents of a higher level is entirely due to its unique skill, "Protect Master".

"Activating this skill allows the user to inherit 30% of the master's attributes and temporarily gain one of the master's designated skills. The effect lasts for one hour, with a one-day cooldown."

Regardless of that extra skill, the 30% of attributes inherited from Zhang Mingzhen alone are enough to crush most of his current opponents.

If we could obtain a "God-level Evolution Pill," it might be able to fundamentally compensate for its insufficient level.

In the ensuing battle, the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python encountered the "Shadow Demon" of the "Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven," a fight that proved to be quite perilous.

Shadow Demon are rare evolved magical pets, originating from the newly emerged Shadow Demon race in the God's Domain. Their evolved forms are extremely rare.

The Shadow Demon is a level 44 wild monster. It is said that the Century Imperial City Guild gathered all its experts to fight continuously in the corresponding area for several days in order to capture an evolved form.

They expended a great deal of medicinal resources, and their combat effectiveness certainly justified this investment.

Its attributes are secondary; what's truly remarkable is its innate skill:

"It can blend into the environment and become invisible. The first attack launched after emerging from concealment will always be a critical hit with a 100% critical hit rate. Speed is doubled and attack power is tripled."

However, after unleashing this deadly move, the user will be weakened.

In previous battles, the Shadow Demon had kept this deadly weapon hidden, intending to save it for a crucial battle. Unexpectedly, it encountered the Chongxing Azure-Scaled Dragon Python again and was forced to reveal its trump card.

That attack was incredibly powerful, directly pushing the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python to the brink of death; if Chongxing hadn't preemptively bestowed the "Spring Wind" skill upon it, the outcome would likely have been reversed in an instant.

This is the importance of burst damage skills; they leave you no time to adjust, and even if you could win, you can be defeated instantly.

Although it ended without serious injury, the formidable power of the "Shadow Demon" was deeply etched into the minds of the spectators.

Many players have already predicted that this "Shadow Demon" is very likely to win the top three prizes in the competition.

"That was truly terrifying! I almost thought the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python was about to collapse!"

"The Shadow Demon is too strong! No wonder Century Imperial City went to such lengths to capture it back then... Once I'm high enough level, I'll go try my luck in the Shadow Demon's territory!"

"I advise you not to oversimplify things. Shadow Demon are all level 44 or higher; it's almost impossible for them to succeed alone."

"Even if we go with the team, if we really encounter the Shadow Demon, ownership is still unknown."

The appearance rate of the Shadow Demon is extremely low. It is rumored that some players have defeated hundreds of thousands of monsters before encountering it by chance, making it a once-in-a-million opportunity.

Moreover, subduing them is another challenge.

"Whether it's the Shadow Demon or the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python, their strength is extraordinary, and they will definitely be firmly in the top three."

"I'm really curious which other Summoned Beast will be in the top ten—I'm betting on that duck to make the list!"

The "Chosen One" has never been in the spotlight as much as it has now.

Many player factions inquired about the origin and acquisition methods of the Lovebond Duck from him.

He never expected that one day he would be able to experience the feeling of being the center of attention thanks to this duck.

Initially, I participated just out of curiosity, but unexpectedly, I not only broke into the top 1,000, but now I've even made it into the top 10.

All of this felt like a dream to him.

The next opponent will be the pet of the War Alliance Guild.

The think tanks of the major guilds had already devised countermeasures against the elusive special abilities of the Lovebond Duck.

They focused on Earthshaking Vajra Bear's mental resistance, even preemptively shutting down its vision and hearing, forcing it to fight solely with brute force.

After all, the threat posed by the Lovebond Duck is almost entirely psychological.

If we disregard that point and consider only physical attacks, this duck is utterly vulnerable.

As expected, the Earthshaking Vajra Bear truly won the duel.

This result finally brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

"I thought this guy was cheating."

"So there was a solution after all!"

Players from other guilds also learned how to deal with it.

The Lovebond Duck' journey ended in the top ten, but for the Chosen One, this achievement was enough to make him happy for a whole year.

The reward of two random rare pet eggs is enough for him to keep one for himself and resell the other.

Today, "God's Domain Gold Coin" have replaced real-world currency and become the most common medium of exchange on Blue Star.

After all, real-world currencies are too prone to inflation.

How can human credibility compare to the Skyfall Game System?

Earning Gold Coin in games is much easier than earning real money, and he could almost see the wealth rolling in.

Finally, the inaugural Warcraft III tournament in the God's Domain has come to a close, and the top ten list is as follows:

First place: Azure-Scaled Dragon Python.

Second place: Shadow Demon.

Third: Earthshaking Vajra Bear.

Fourth: The Blazing Fire Golden Ape.

Fifth: Sky-Soaring Mystic Crane.

Tenth: Lovebond Duck

Apart from the "Chosen One," most of the other Summoned Beast owners who made it into the top ten are management members of large guilds.

After receiving the rewards, most of them choose to use the resources for their own or guild's internal circulation, and rarely sell them to outsiders.

This is why the rare pet egg posted by the Chosen One was subject to fierce bidding, eventually reaching a huge price.

It made him a fortune.

He became yet another lucky breakout winner in the God's Domain Game.

The moment Zhang Mingzhen obtained the divine evolution pill, he fed it to the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python.

Although this python's level has not yet reached the top, its unique "Protect Master" skill is extremely suitable for players with such overpowered attributes.

He only hoped that this precious characteristic would not be erased after evolution.

The Azure-Scaled Dragon Python seemed to understand the importance of this pill, and obediently swallowed it. A system notification appeared. "Evolution in progress, estimated time 12 hours."

Seeing that the Summoned Beast had entered its evolved state, Zhang Mingzhen recalled it, intending to continue exploring other gameplay features of Sky City.

Right now, besides the Warcraft III tournament, the speedrunning competition is the most popular event to register for.

The races here don't just refer to vehicle competitions; players can also participate with their mounts.

There are quite a few people in the God's Domain who own mounts, and many of them are known for their speed.

At this moment, his Azure-Scaled Dragon Python is in a critical period of evolution, so Zhang Mingzhen is naturally unable to participate in the competition.

Furthermore, he didn't raise a second pet, so he could only watch as other registered players prepared for the upcoming competition.

That's not bad either.

You can't have everything.

"I only got a consolation prize in the Warcraft III tournament, but the speedrunning race is a different story!"

"My mount is as fast as lightning, it'll easily break into the top thousand! You slowpokes, just you wait and see!"

"The schedule is too tight. The Warcraft III tournament just ended two hours ago, and the speedrun is about to start."

"My Summoned Beast is exhausted, I have to get it some good food to help it recover! If we can get into the top 1000, I'll definitely treat it to a big meal!"

"A race sounds simple, right? Just run fast, right? My Featherwing Bird's greatest strength is speed! Don't even try to take it from me, I'm definitely going to finish in the top 100!"

"The person upstairs clearly didn't read the rules carefully."

"This race allows players to participate directly, and they are allowed to use any means necessary to eliminate their opponents! Think about it carefully."

"With your combat strength, plus that Featherwing Bird, do you really think you can squeeze into the top 100? I think you might not even make it into the top 1000."

"Oh My God!"

"I just noticed this rule! This isn't just a simple race, it's downright death!"

"Will I lose experience points if I die? I don't mind dying, but I can't lose experience points!"

"I finally reached level 30, and if I die, I'll lose a lot of experience points. I'll have to reconsider whether I should even sign up..."

"A word of advice to all players: if you have doubts about your own abilities, it might be safer to give up at the start and claim the consolation prize. Don't force it!" one player said disdainfully.

"This is indeed safer, but the prizes for the speed race are never as enticing as those for the Warcraft tournament. It would be a shame to only get a participation prize, so please participate according to your ability."

The speed race did not include Rare Tier treasures such as "Spirit Pet Evolution Pills" as rewards.

Perhaps because it is essentially a competition of speed, the prizes are mostly mount-related items.

Participation prize: 10 Pet Experience Pill

Top 1000: 10 Pet Experience Pill, 5 Fullness Pills

Top 500: 20 Pet Experience Pill, 10 Fullness Pills

Top 100: 100 Pet Experience Pill, 100 Satiety Pills

Top 50: Random Land Mounts

Top 20: Random aerial mount

Top 10: Selectable Flying Mounts

Third Place: Mount Evolution Pill

Runner-up: Mount Evolution Pill *2

Champion: Rare Tier Mount Evolution Pill

Players typically use their Summoned Beast as a means of transportation.

Most of the Warcraft in the God's Domain are enormous and have excellent carrying capacity; giant battle pets like the "Azure-Scaled Dragon Python" can even carry several people at the same time.

However, some players' Summoned Beast do not have the function of being ridden, such as the Lovebond Duck, Bloodthirsty Bee, and Devil Vine, which are small or have special shapes.

These types of players often need to find their own exclusive mount Warcraft.
