So this was where the trap lay...
Amid the shocked, awestruck, and utterly disbelieving looks the other players cast his way, Mitian stood expressionlessly in the beam of light, thinking with perfect calm.
After all, he had guessed from the beginning that this Instance would not be so simple. The man on the other side had gone to great lengths to send him an invitation, and surely intended more than merely having him participate in an Instance. Still, he had not expected the man's methods to be so... "childish"-
That man wanted to pit Mitian against every other player.
Fortunately... Mitian silently counted his blessings. Bo Yi's score blends in with everyone else's this time-the only target shoved out in front is me.
He reassuringly patted Bo Yi's hand where it clutched his sleeve, signaling that he need not worry.
On the electronic screen, Mr. "Clown" continued speaking. "It looks like everyone knows our first-place player now~"
"But don't worry, everyone! Each of you still has a chance!"
"Because we'll announce our point rankings twice every day-once during the day and once at night! We encourage everyone to compete boldly for first place!"
Compete for first place?
The Veteran Players all pricked up their ears. They immediately thought of the baffling clearance objective-"Gain the amusement park owner's approval."
Could it be... that taking first place in the point rankings was how you gained the amusement park owner's approval?!
The players were instantly horrified-
Didn't that mean... only one person could clear this Instance in the end?!
Out of a hundred players, only one could clear it?!
Apart from the new players, who had yet to catch on and knew nothing, every Veteran Player's face gradually filled with panic and fear.
This had to be a joke!!!
"Of course..."
As though
