The Competition Begins

In the <Brave New World> Dungeon.

As Xiao Fan became more and more skilled at the game, he also began to feel that something was amiss.

These little games all seem a bit familiar, don't they?

Each one seems to have echoes of a mini-game from Earth in a past life.

No! That's not right!

Xiao Fan shook his head sharply, banishing the unrealistic idea from his mind.

How could that be?

Is it definitely a coincidence?

How could a game set on Earth possibly appear in "Cloud Sea"?

Yes! It's a coincidence!

It's not that he's belittling his home planet, but a game like <Cloud Sea>, with its advanced technology that allows for large-scale invasions of various planets and even affects the Real World, is definitely the work of a highly advanced civilization.

As a native Earthling, he would only dare to dream like this...

Dream?

Xiao Fan's eyes widened as a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.

"It can't be... that I didn't die after saving someone, but instead became a vegetable."

"Time travel, Blue Star, and the Cloud Sea were all just illusions I experienced while I was unconscious!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan swallowed hard, a huge wave of panic instantly engulfing him.

He often saw this kind of ending when he read novels in his past life!

It can't be true...

Then...

Xiao Fan raised his fist and punched himself twice.

Wake up! Wake up!

Xiao Fan's sudden action startled everyone else.

"Xiao Fan, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan immediately stepped forward and pulled Xiao Fan back, looking at him with worried expressions.

Others also anxiously gathered around.

"Oh no! Has Brother Chen gone crazy from playing games?"

The fat man patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder.

Xiao Fan suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Fatty, use your skills on me!"

The fat man was so frightened that he took two steps back and struggled to pull his hand back.

"Oh no! Brother Chen has really gone crazy! I told you we couldn't just wait to copy Brother Chen's homework, now look what happened, we've driven him insane."

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes. "You're the one who's crazy!"

The fat man stared at Xiao Fan in shock.

"No, Brother Chen, how come you're all better again?"

"This recovery ability is truly worthy of a professional healer."

Xiao Fan smirked, "I was just kidding you guys."

Having played so many familiar games from his past life today, Xiao Fan couldn't help but think of his hometown.

However, the secret realm of "Brave New World" did indeed give Xiao Fan even greater doubts about the game "Cloud Sea".

It's a pity he can't get any information right now. Perhaps as the game updates and he becomes stronger, he will one day know the truth.

Seeing that Xiao Fan didn't seem to be faking it, the others finally felt relieved.

"You scared me to death, Brother Chen! I really thought we'd driven you crazy!"

Han the Person's hand was still trembling as he gripped Xiao Fan's sleeve.

Xiao Fan waved his hand. "Alright, everyone continue playing the game, the rewards are quite generous."

After this incident, the others no longer dared to wait and copy others' work, and they formed teams to explore the game.

Outside the secret realm, registration for the Fusion Challenge Tournament has officially begun.

Players who meet the requirements should click to register immediately.

Some players who did not meet the registration requirements are also working hard to improve their skills.

Because the government released all available job change slots, another batch of players met the registration criteria, resulting in double the number of players registering in the end.

The competition rules will be announced before the competition begins tomorrow.

In the final moments, Zhou He gathered all the registered players together to await the start of tomorrow's competition.

City of Kings.

Quan Zhong breath and looked at the line of less than forty people below; his face darkened.

"Your City of Kings is supposed to be home to Four Great Families of the Dragon Nation, so how come you have so few players who meet the registration requirements?"

His Quan Zhong was filled with deep dissatisfaction.

His reason for joining the City of Kings and teaming up with Shen Long was to take on the server fusion challenge.

The Mirror City Server is fundamentally different from the other three servers.

Further Quan Zhong is unknown.

All he knew was that Mirror City Server had known about the server merging issue several months ago.

Players on the Mirror City Server are now divided into two factions.

One faction hopes that the Mirror City Server will be integrated into the three normal servers, while the other faction hopes that players from the other three servers will be integrated into the Mirror City Server.

The Jun Family supports the faction that retains the Mirror City Server.

Because the two factions were evenly matched, the Jun Family set their sights on the Dragon Nation Server.

They placed Quan Zhong control of the City of Kings, all for this day.

To Quan Zhong, at the moment of registration, fewer than forty players in the City of Kings met the requirements.

Speechless!

Sensing the disdain in Quan Zhong's tone, Shen Long felt a surge of resentment.

Does he want this?

If it weren't for that damned Jiu Chen, his City of Kings would have long become the number one power on the Dragon Nation Server.

Unlike now, we can't even navigate the City of Sin route; it's practically a slum on the Dragon Nation Server.

The reason there are still forty people here is because of Shen Long's great personal charisma; if it were anyone else, this place would have been empty long ago.

As he Quan Zhong, the other three major families became increasingly distant from him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the Quan Zhong's request to help him get the Mirror City Server to the top.

Dragon Nation Server are really not going to survive anymore!

"Don't you have a lot of props? Why don't you just use one that gets all our people to choose it?"

Quan Zhong's lips twitched.

Shen Long doesn't seem very bright.

If he had that kind of item, wouldn't it be better to just bribe fifty players who meet the requirements and then have them forfeit?

"This number of people is fine."

Quan Zhong said helplessly, "I still have some items. As long as I can select a player from the City of Kings, I have a way to make the Dragon Nation lose."

Thinking of this, Quan Zhong looked again at the forty people in the courtyard.

"You've all remembered my instructions, haven't you? As long as you can cause an 'accident' for the Dragon Nation team, I guarantee that after the server merge, your days on the Mirror City Server will be ten thousand times better than those on the Dragon City server."

"I've got it."

The Falling Leaf weakly echoed the others' shouts, but to their surprise, the others also responded listlessly.

Isn't that awkward?

Quan Zhong:...

This seems a bit unreliable.

Shen Long: "They're all veterans of our Shen Sect; they're very reliable."

Quan Zhong: "I'll trust you one more time."

"Dear players, registration for the Server Fusion Challenge Tournament has officially closed. A total of 172 players from this server registered for this challenge."

The team competition will officially begin in ten minutes.

"Now let's read out the competition rules."

"Each server will randomly select 50 players to enter the exclusive competition map, Interstellar Canyon. The four cardinal directions of the canyon map will be the respawn points for players from the four servers, as well as the Guardian Tower."

"Killing a monster Points 10 points, killing a player Points 20 points, and destroying another server's Guardian Tower Points 1000 points."

The final ranking will be based on team Points.

"Now we'll begin selecting players..."
