To put it bluntly, the points competition in the casual cultivator track is to select the more elite ones from the mixed casual cultivator group. Even if the selected people are not strong enough, at least the number should be reduced to make it easier for the officials to manage them.
Although the casual cultivator circuit is in full swing every year, there are often casual cultivators who win the status of City Hero and compete in Ascending Dragon Tournament all over the world. However, in the end of the conference, there may not be only one or two casual cultivators who can actually win the Dragon Hall cultivation spot in ten years.
The real top talent has always been produced by Immortal Gate.
Therefore, the official attitude towards casual cultivators is actually quite perfunctory and rude, which is also evident from the points competition format.
The rule of the casual cultivator points competition is that no matter how many people participate, they will all be thrown into a large formation that serves as the arena. Before entering the formation, everyone will receive a protective talisman. The function of this talisman is that once someone dies within the coverage of the formation, he will not actually die, but will be killed by the talisman. The real body and the magic weapon he carries will be immediately teleported out of the formation.
Only being eliminated but not dying is already the greatest concern for casual cultivators.
Within the scope of that formation, there are a series of immortal objects hidden, small ones such as some Qi-returning pills and blood-returning pills, and large ones such as some spiritual materials and immortal treasures. Each item corresponds to different points.
The contestants are placed in random positions in the array, and then they have to collect these fairy objects everywhere.
Everyone is not allowed to carry Storage Magic Artifact. There is only a backpack issued by the organizer. You can either use the fairy items you find yourself or put them in the backpack to keep. In the end, you have to rely on the value of the items collected in the backpack to settle the points. You can steal, rob, cheat, and give away at will. But it is not that easy to leave the array.
There are four small open-air teleportation arrays in the big formation. You have to stay in the teleportation array for more than one minute before you can leave the competition formation and evacuate safely.
Regardless of whether they are killed or still fail to evacuate through the teleportation array after the game time is over, they are considered to be eliminated.
Only after collecting fairy objects of sufficient value and staying on the teleportation array for enough time with a backpack can this evacuation enter the final points settlement, and the winner will be determined according to the points ranking.
The top fifty people advance to the main competition of City Hero Battle to compete with the disciples of Immortal Gate.
When the number of people who have safely evacuated is less than fifty, those who survived but did not evacuate through the teleportation array will be included in the calculation. Of course, as long as they did not evacuate through the teleportation array, no matter how many points they have, they will only be ranked behind the safe evacuees.
This kind of gameplay that puts everyone on the same big battlefield will lead to many hidden unspoken rules.
The old Yin coins that do not search for fairy objects but hide in the dark and wait for others to finish the search and then attack and seize them belong to the sunshine boy here. Darker methods such as forming alliances in advance, gathering a group of casual cultivators together to jointly attack the casual cultivators other than allies. Of course, it will be difficult for those who are weak to resist.
Or it may be a private deal, where you spend money to hire a group of people to be your "bodyguards", give you priority when you find things, and help you clear out enemies when you encounter them.
Especially in a small place like Jiang City, only the top two in the points competition will receive cash rewards. Many casual cultivators who are not that strong in themselves do not mind paying money to be bodyguards. If you are lucky, you may be able to follow the sponsor and get into the top 50 places.
This kind of thing has always existed and there is no way to stop it, but the authorities don't care.
Because no matter what method you use to enter the main competition, you have to fight for me honestly in the main competition. It is impossible to play with the hidden rules with Immortal Gate disciples. If you are not strong enough, even if you sneak in, you will still be eliminated.
This attitude is probably... We don't care how despicable and deceitful your casual cultivators are, so long as it doesn't affect the noble Immortal Gate disciples! Because of this, those who seek alliances and bodyguards are often players with some hard power.
They believe that they can compete with Immortal Gate disciples in the main competition, but they are also worried about being eliminated early by others using dark means, so they do this to ensure that they advance.
Just like the three members sent by Heavenly Venerate Society.
Mi Yunzi has absolute confidence in his own casual cultivators. They can thrive in a large environment like Dragon City. In a place like Jiang City, they can definitely push all local cultivators to the ground and trample them.
But he also knew that some casual cultivators from other big cities also came here, and that was their strongest competitor.
Therefore, we need to win over some local casual cultivators who have hope of qualifying, but are unlikely to be among the top three, and who are poor. These people will not form direct competition with their Heavenly Venerate Society people, and are most suitable to be hired as bodyguards.
The ones in Yue's Cultivation Firm just meet these elements.
Especially when recommended by people at Wangyou Media, they said that the people in their firm are not only strong but also very poor and have no limits on what they can do, so they should be very willing to agree to work as bodyguards.
But what Mi Yunzi didn't expect was that Yue Wen refused from the very beginning, and the reason was that they also wanted to compete for the top three.
His first reaction was naturally to laugh.
Other than being naive, I don't know how to evaluate it.
But what he said did come from the bottom of his heart. Jiang City couldn't possibly have any locals in the top three on the casual cultivator track. He was absolutely sure of this. Because Mi Yunzi, who had done the research, knew very well what kind of strength the non-local cultivators who came here this time had.
"Sorry, senior." Yue Wen smiled faintly, "It's no use asking for your head. Anyway, we can just watch the performance in the game." "I really think this is a good choice for you." Mi Yunzi frowned in confusion. He said, "I dare say that we are the only employer who can guarantee you the top fifty positions, because we, Heavenly Venerate Society, have sent three geniuses this year. If you don't accept the invitation, there is a high probability that you will still barely get a qualifying spot in the end, or even not be able to qualify if you are unlucky."
"Then there is at least a chance of winning. If I agree to you, there is no hope of getting the first place." Yue Wen leaned back on the sofa, "Senior, I won't give it to you."
"It's a good thing to be ambitious, but it's more important for you small-town practitioners to see yourselves clearly." Mi Yunzi stood up and said with bright eyes, "You are a head taller than your peers in the local area, so you think you are some kind of genius who can look down on your contemporaries. In fact, you have no idea about the existence of people outside the world and the existence of the sky beyond the world. I think... you will regret it."
"Can you open the door yourself?" Zhao Xing'er raised his chin and tapped the door.
"Let me put it bluntly, Mr. Yue, you are completely overestimating your capabilities." Mi Yunzi finally said gloomily, turned around and walked out of the office door.
Qi Dian frowned and said, "That's not saying anything bad about me at all."
The wheels outside the door turned and slowly left the sight of the three people.
"Boss, it's you as expected." Zhao Xing'er gave a thumbs up, "If you want to waver, I will insult you."
"That's right, Brother Yue didn't disappoint me either." Qi Dian also said.
"Do you think I don't want to agree?" Yue Wen said with a smile, "The total of eight hundred thousand is not enough Xing'er Refining Gang. I still have to run Wasteland Zone. It's better to reject his hope of winning the first place. As long as he offers three million, do you think I will agree?"
Of course, he was just joking.
After all, the prize money for the first place is only three million. In order to protect the three players, Heavenly Venerate Society cannot only find three bodyguards from them, but must form an alliance with at least a dozen good players to dare to guarantee the qualification, right?
If each person was given several million, they would have gone bankrupt long ago with so many members participating in each session.
Many people are willing to be this bodyguard because they feel that they have no hope of competing for the top spot. Even if they play normally, they can only qualify in the top 50. In this way, being with a powerful boss is equivalent to forming an alliance. If you qualify, you can get hundreds of thousands in vain.
Anyone who hopes to compete for the top spot will not be interested in this kind of money.
The problem with Mi Yunzi is that he thinks it is impossible for Jiang City local casual cultivators to have the competitiveness to be number one, and he also thinks you locals should have this self-awareness.
But Yue Wen just thinks he can do it.
Maybe apart from himself, Zhao Xing'er and Qi Dian are the only ones in the world who think he can do it.
But enough is enough.
"However, if you can be a bodyguard for hundreds of thousands and still have a guaranteed spot, we won't take this kind of job. There must be many people who are willing to take it." Zhao Xing'er said, "These Heavenly Venerate Society people must be the strongest force in the points competition."
"Yes." Yue Wen nodded, "Being so willing to bid is worthy of being a powerful force from Longdu."
"Are you willing to bid? I think it's average." Qi Dian silently retreated to the corner.
Start drawing circles and cursing.
That night, Yue Wen sat on the bed, closed his eyes and immersed himself in Visualization Diagram.
Unconsciously, luminous golden lines began to rise from his five fingers, spreading up and down, lingering like dragons and snakes.
In the world of visualization, he had transformed into a golden light, shuttled freely between countless holes, relying on the spirituality of the dragon's breath, like a golden liquid. After a while, he finally came to the exit of a hole, bang
As soon as the golden liquid came out, my eyes suddenly became clear.
Yue Wen in the room on the second floor exhaled a strong breath, opened his bright eyes, and said happily, "It's done!"
