The New Gameplay Added at the Last Minute
Xiao Fan wasn't curious about the fact that Xu Shengguo knew him.
He has cooperated with the country many times, so it's normal for Xu Shengguo to know him.
"Your Lord Xu, our Zone 18 only has seven contestants this time, but the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition doesn't have a minimum number of participants."
Xu Shengguo nodded, but still reminded them, "The national regulations don't specify a number of participants, but the final score is the sum of all participating teams from the region. Having three fewer people puts you at a natural disadvantage."
Xiao Fan knew this, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't force others to participate if they didn't want to.
"Don't worry, Your Lord Xu, it's only three people less. Just consider it as letting them go."
Xu Shengguo:...
Although I know Xiao Fan's abilities, isn't he a bit arrogant?
The other newbies in the Novice Village secretly rolled their eyes. Nobody else? Why give them three? What are they pretending for?
"Who is this Jiu Chen? He speaks so arrogantly."
From the Zone 1 team, a man with a cool and aloof expression spoke up. He was wearing a unique blue soft armor that looked quite valuable.
It was Shen Beijun, the youngest son of Shen Long, the head of the Shen Family, Four Great Families.
Shen Jiangyun quickly stepped forward, his face full of flattery. "Brother Shen, this is Xiao Fan, whom I told you about before. What kind of background could he have? His parents are both dead, and his uncle used to be a servant at Xue Wei's house, but later his legs were crippled in the game. He's not arrogant at all; he's just being stubborn because he can't muster enough people to talk back."
"Oh," Shen Beijun replied casually.
With such a background, he wasn't even qualified to give him a second glance. However, considering their plans in Zone 1, Xiao Fan wouldn't live much longer.
Just then, the soft light on the surface of the Myriad Phenomena Tower turned red.
This is a sign that the Myriad Phenomena Tower is about to open.
Seeing this, Xu Shengguo spoke again, "One last reminder. The Myriad Phenomena Tower is dangerous; please proceed according to your abilities."
"It's time. Prepare to enter the tower."
The participants immediately perked up and excitedly lined up in groups.
The Myriad Phenomena Tower is an opportunity for every participant. Not to mention the rewards for the top few in the competition, entering the Myriad Phenomena Tower in itself is a huge benefit.
Because the Myriad Phenomena Tower contains many Heavenly Spirit Treasure. If you are lucky enough to obtain even a little bit, that would be true wealth!
Only after the eighteen Novice Village had left did Xu Shengguo speak to the people behind him.
"Jiu Chen and Taichu are extremely important to the country; we must do our best to protect them."
"Yes, Chief!"
"Go."
There are a total of 200 slots to enter the Myriad Phenomena Tower. Apart from the 180 slots for the 18 Novice Zone, the remaining 20 slots are for the National Team.
Before arriving, Zhou He specifically instructed that Jiu Chen and Taichu, the two contestants, be well protected.
"Player meets the requirements. Enter the Myriad Phenomena Tower?"
"Yes."
Xiao Fan and the others only felt a blinding white light flash before their eyes, and their whole bodies felt as if they were caught in a vortex.
"What's going on?" Xiao Fan frowned and looked around, only to find that he couldn't see anyone, only a thin white mist shrouding the world.
The thought had barely formed when an ethereal voice suddenly rang in my ears.
"Congratulations on entering the Myriad Phenomena Tower. Your ID is 52."
The Myriad Phenomena Tower leaderboard is now open. You can access the leaderboard at any time to view your score and ranking.
Please select your faction.
"1: Villain (Can actively kill any player; killing other players earns 5 points, killing your own players does not deduct points)"
2: Neutral (You can retaliate against players who attack you; killing other players earns you 3 points, killing your player deducts 10 points.)
3: Kindness (cannot attack any player, nor be attacked by any player)
Xiao Fan:????
Why didn't Blade Shadow tell me that the Myriad Phenomena Tower also had team composition options?
Ding! Factions are a newly added gameplay feature.
Why weren't you told about the new gameplay earlier?
Xiao Fan was speechless. In this situation, they shouldn't have notified each other before entering the Myriad Phenomena Tower; he could have made the same choice as his teammates.
After thinking it over, Xiao Fan still chose the Evil Faction.
Zone 1 is clearly planning to target Zone 18 at the Myriad Phenomena Tower; choosing the villain will increase their score.
"You have joined the Evil Faction."
The surrounding scenery changed again; the white mist slowly dissipated, and everything before our eyes became clear.
Xiao Fan found himself in a circular mountain valley that resembled a large plaza, surrounded by towering mountains and swirling clouds and mist.
"Is this the Myriad Phenomena Tower? It feels like I've entered another world."
Looking around, the other contestants gradually came into view.
Xiao Fan noticed that each player had a huge number above their head, and no two were the same.
"This must be what's called a player ID."
The numbers are divided into three main color categories: red, green, and yellow.
Xiao Fan thought for a moment, and realized that this must be the faction the player chose.
"Holy crap! Is this the Myriad Phenomena Tower? This is amazing!" The fat man looked around at the scene with surprise and excitement.
Xiao Fan turned around and found that all seven people from Zone 18 were there.
"Brother Chen, why do you all have a number above your heads?" Zai Zai looked at the top of everyone's heads with curiosity.
"Everyone has one above their head; that should be our player ID," Xiao Fan explained.
"Oh, I see. By the way, did you hear a voice asking you to choose a faction when you came in?" Zai Zai asked again.
Swift as Wind: "Yes, everyone does. The system said it's a new gameplay mode. I chose kindness, what about you?"
Garfield Without Fat: "Me too."
Han the Person: "+1"
Xiao Fan looked at the green numbers above the three people's heads; it seemed that green represented the good side.
The Zai Zai scratched his head sheepishly. "You all chose kindness, but I chose Neutral."
Fatty: "I'm Neutral too."
Xiao Fan looked at the yellow numbers above their heads, indicating that yellow represented Neutral.
Looking at the red 99 above Qin Muyu's head, Xiao Fan knew without a doubt that she had chosen the Evil Faction.
Xiao Fan was truly impressed that seven players could form three different factions.
"I'll create a team and bring you guys in first."
After everyone joined the team, Xiao Fan noticed that the numbers above their heads had all turned green.
In other words, teammates cannot attack each other.
With a thought, Xiao Fan brought up the competition leaderboard.
1: Overall Ranking 2: Tower Floor Ranking 3: Beast Slaying Ranking 4: Boss Slaying Ranking 5: Secret Realm Clearance Ranking
"There are even five lists!"
Overall Ranking.
The list is very simple: the first part is the ranking, the middle part is the number, and the last part is the Points.
