The First Stage of the Competition Ends

Creating the Puppet was more difficult than the contestants had imagined.

In the past, skills were skills, Profession were Profession, and weapons were weapons.

On Puppet, skills, Profession, and weapon must be combined into one.

In other words, skills, Profession, and weapons correspond to and complement each other.

This presents a new challenge for Blue Star players, since in the past, games like <Cloud Sea> involved separate components.

The skill creation data system will automatically adjust, but the equipment data requires the player to adjust it automatically.

The total stats of the twenty pieces of equipment on the five Puppet are the same. If one piece of equipment has a higher stat, the stats of the other pieces of equipment will be lower.

Creating equipment with special effects also has numerical requirements. Just balancing the data of twenty pieces of equipment is enough to give four players a headache.

They initially thought creating Puppet in a day would be incredibly easy, but it seems they underestimated the challenge.

Even though Jian Qingfeng was prepared, he still felt that there wasn't enough time.

00:04:34

The countdown timer above the desktop was ticking away rapidly, with less than five minutes remaining.

All four contestants had tense expressions, their brows furrowed with anxiety.

It's too difficult.

Saint Yuan Venerable of Jing City has completed the creation of his two perfect Puppet and is now creating his fourth incomplete Puppet. He originally planned that if he had enough time, he could also create a skill for the last Puppet.

It's too late now; he's already given up on creating the last Puppet, and it would be good enough if he could even complete the fourth and a half Puppet.

The Cannon of the White Nation was similar. He created a perfect Puppet that replicated himself, saving some time, but due to the balance of equipment stats, he had to abandon the creation of the last Puppet.

The Wang Abu in the Black Nation; he failed to create a perfect Puppet, and the incomplete Puppet he created were also a mess.

"Fuck, why is there such a rare competition?"

Wang Abu finally couldn't hold back and started cursing.

By the time Jian Qingfeng finished creating the fourth Puppet, time was running out.

There was no other way; for the fifth Puppet, he could only create one and replicate his own Puppet, just like with Cannon, to save time.

Choose his favorite Profession: Sword Master, which matches his skills and weapon (sword).

In fact, Jian Qingfeng did not understand the purpose of creating Profession. In his opinion, whether Puppet has Profession or not seems to have little effect.

However, as required by the competition, he still diligently completed the creation of all the Puppet.

00:00:00

Time's up.

"System: The first stage of the Server Fusion Challenge Individual Competition has officially ended. The Puppet creation status of the four contestants is as follows."

In an instant, all the players on the server looked up at the Sky Screen above them.

"System: The Black Nation contestant has achieved 70% completion for three Puppet, 60% completion for one Puppet, and 50% completion for the last Puppet."

"Wow, Wang Abu truly lives up to his reputation as the top expert in our Black Nation! He managed to complete so much in just one day, that's amazing!"

"The Black Nation will prevail."

System: White Nation contestant: Two Puppet are 100% complete, one Puppet is 70% complete, one Puppet is 50% complete, and the last Puppet is 0% complete.

"Heh heh, our White Nation's Cannon is far smarter than that disgusting black Wang Abu. Giving up one Puppet and getting two perfect Puppet, isn't that more powerful than five incomplete Puppet?"

"Black Nation are all brainless idiots."

System: Jing City contestant: Two Puppet are 100% complete, two Puppet are 70% complete, and one Puppet is 10% complete.

In his final moments, Saint Yuan Venerable created a skill for his last Puppet.

The countdown ends exactly one second after the skill is created.

He breathed a huge sigh of relief; his Puppet was currently the most complete. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it was also the most complete among the four players.

"What do the other three contestants have to compare with our Saint Yuan Venerable? When he was practicing martial arts, the other three players' parents weren't even born yet."

"Our Jing City Server is the strongest; what other servers can compare?"

"It seems that Saint Yuan Venerable's Puppet is the most complete in the first stage. Our Mirror City Server will definitely win the next two days of the competition."

Amidst the proud cheers of the players on the Jing City Server, a weak voice rang out.

"Although... but... the situation with the Puppet of the Dragon Nation Server players hasn't been reported yet, right?"

Upon hearing this, the people on the Jing City Server reacted as if they were cats whose tails had been stepped on, and various sharp voices rang out.

"What do you mean? Could it be that players from the Dragon Nation can surpass Saint Yuan Venerable?"

"Jian Qingfeng has only studied traditional Chinese martial arts, while Saint Yuan Venerable comes from an ancient martial arts family with a thousand-year history. The difference between them is like that between an ancestor and a grandson. What makes Jian Qingfeng think he can win?"

"This person must be from another faction, deliberately trying to badmouth our Jing City Server. Everyone, ignore him."

Just then, a message popped up.

"Look, the completion status of the Dragon Nation contestant's Puppet is about to be released."

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention returned to the Sky Screen.

Upon seeing the completion status of the Jian Qingfeng Puppet on the Sky Screen, the entire Jing City Server seemed to be paused.

System: Dragon Nation contestant: All five Puppet are 100% complete.

After a while.

"How could this be...?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could you possibly create five perfect Puppet in a single day?"

"The players on the Dragon Nation Server must have cheated. That's right, they definitely cheated."

The weapon players in the Jing City seemed to have found what they considered a reasonable excuse, and their shouts grew even louder.

Five perfect Puppet —this advantage will definitely lead to victory in subsequent Puppet competitions.

It's important to understand that Dragon Nation has already achieved a perfect score of 10 in the team competition. If they can also achieve a perfect score of 10 in the individual competition, as long as their overall strength isn't the worst, they will be the undisputed champions.

No, they won't allow that to happen.

"The Dragon Nation player definitely cheated. We request the system to re-detect."

On the competition stage.

Saint Yuan Venerable, Cannon, and Wang Abu all stared at Jian Qingfeng in disbelief.

Jian Qingfeng lowered his eyes and leaned back in his chair, seemingly oblivious to the gazes coming from the three sides.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

"That was close, but thankfully... it's done."

Jian Qingfeng had previously bought several skill books from Xiao Fan and had also consulted Xiao Fan on Profession creation.

In addition, I had already prepared by reading Xiao Fan's strategy guide beforehand.

Finally, we achieved satisfactory results in the first phase.

Five perfect Puppet are enough for him to win first place in the later competitions.

No matter how much players on the Jing City Server complained about Dragon Nation cheating, the system simply ignored them.

In fact, whether Jian Qingfeng cheated or not, the three contestants, Saint Yuan Venerable, knew best in their hearts.

To put it simply, time was so tight that they didn't even have time to cheat.

System: Next, we will announce the details of the second phase of the Puppet competition.
