After each victory, Nan Zhou kept the points for himself and handed over all the props to Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang to count.
Li Yinhang truly understood the meaning of “building a tower with sand.”
AD
The 10,000 points they earned had successfully offset the minimum price set by Nan Zhou in this game.
In addition, they also obtained 6 S-grade items, 5 A-grade items, 6 B-grade items, and 3 C-grade items.
Of course, other players weren’t fools either. Most of the S-grade items used as bets had limited uses, and the remaining quota was only 1.
Even so, this purchase was quite fruitful.
This sudden income triggered Li Yinhang’s money-saving radar to go online immediately.
Faced with the pile of assorted items, she began by selecting several S-grade items, savoring the satisfaction akin to squirrels hoarding pinecones for the winter.
[The Eye of Elf], S-grade, can be used once, with a duration of 15 minutes.
[Function introduction: Rolling eyeballs, going to unknown places, and taking a look at the world that I cannot see for the time being.]
In short, it’s a proportional eyeball-shaped detector. The owner can share their vision with the eyeball and let it help explore the path.
AD
[I said this is a prohibited item, but you’ll still eat it, right?], S-grade, 10 pills remaining.
[Function introduction: within 3 minutes, after taking it, all negative states can be immediately eliminated.]
[However, the drawback is that after 3 minutes, players who use the medication will enter a comprehensive mental breakdown negative state, lasting for 3 minutes.]
Overall, it was still quite useful and could be used as an emergency measure in life-or-death situations.
[Skeleton Shield], S-grade, with only a pitiful 1 point of durability left.
This was a tattered bone shield, made from dozens of dried bones tied together. It looked so fragile that even a dog could chew it up in one bite.
But within these dozens of bones, there were also dozens of malevolent spirits hidden.
These spirits could help the player holding it to negate any physical or non-physical attack.
In addition to these three particularly useful items, they also acquired some peculiar and silly props.
For example, an A-grade item called [Snow-colored Photo Album] can force two players to kiss for 60 seconds on the spot, during which they cannot separate.
While Li Yinhang eagerly counted the items, and Nan Zhou curiously observed the players in the World Channel who were experiencing a spike in blood pressure, Jiang Fang stood beside Nan Zhou, wearing a soft smile. Together, they shared and endured the curses, jealousies, insults, and hatred directed their way.
In the eyes and mouths of these people, Nan Zhou was like a malicious demon lord manipulating everyone.
Jiang Fang looked at the screen and softly asked, “Do you want to eat ice cream?”
The demon lord immediately turned around and asked, “Where can I find it?”
See, the demon lord was easily hooked, just one ice cream cone will do.
The break time in the [Colosseum] was strictly regulated.
Players who remained in the arena could request a ten-minute break from the referee after three matches. During this break, they ccould restore their health by consuming health potions, strength-enhancing fruits, or by purchasing food from the supply point within the [Colosseum].
Three people took a 30-minute break and spent 180 points to buy three ice cream cones at the supply point.
Even though he earned a lot of points, Li Yinhang still asked the boss if they could get a buy-two-get-one-free deal, as usual.
…You could say they were quite thrifty.
The three of them stood shoulder to shoulder against the iron cage, simultaneously taking a big spoonful of ice cream into their mouths.
Their actions were quite synchronized.
They let the cold sweetness melt in their mouths, bringing relief and relaxation to their tensed nerves.
The snow-white floor of the [Colosseum] was covered in glistening sand.
As sunlight gently descended, half of it fell on them, while the other half was swallowed by the thin sand, and reflected onto them.
This dual illumination provided double warmth, creating a sense of comfort from both the outside and within.
——So, Nan Zhou used up today’s quota in just an hour and a half.
Jiang Fang asked, “What about the 99-player tournament?”
Nan Zhou scooped a spoonful of rich vanilla ice cream into his mouth and answered decisively, “Not playing.”
Jiang Fang nodded in understanding. He had observed that due to the game’s hardcore nature, players could only participate in a real-life battle royale tournament once a week.”
Only a few players were willing to participate in the risky “Roman Noble Game”, let alone the intense 99-player battle.
The reason was simple.
If players wanted to challenge the heavens, they could play PvE.
If they wanted to battle against other players, they could engage in PvP.
The 99-player battle royale was indeed incredibly intense. Even the strongest individuals could fall victim to an unexpected ambush in a corner.
In reality, since the official start of the [Colosseum] tournament, there had only been one round of the 99-player battle.
The winners were a five-person team.
This team is none other than “Zhao Hui,” currently ranked second in the team leaderboard. However, it was said that their methods of victory were quite dirty.
T/N – Zhao Hui meaning morning sunshine
That was before World Channel was officially launched.
Nan Zhou and the others hadn’t even entered the game yet.
After realizing that no one had tried the 99-player battle, “Zhao Hui” decisively chose to guard the area where newcomers appeared. They showed kindness to those who were new to the environment, unaware, and in need of support, by providing them with oxygen and food to meet their basic survival needs. They formed a “Newcomer Sanctuary” alliance, creating an organization that protected newcomers, like Eden.
After gathering all 99 players, they began a grand and spectacular sacrifice.
How could those without any equipment, no dungeon experience, and even relying on the newcomers’ supplies given by “Zhao Hui” defeat them?
Not only did “Zhao Hui” successfully achieve the “Pioneer” achievement, but they also received incredibly generous rewards.
What’s even more amazing was that they skillfully eliminated 94 opponents by the rules.
No evidence to prove their deaths.
The 94 skeletons were recovered by the [Colosseum], ground into powder, and became part of the venue’s surface.
——It was the white sand flashing in front of Nan Zhou and the others.
Many older players still remembered the “Newcomer Sanctuary” created by “Zhao Hui,” and the shock and anger they felt when it was destroyed overnight, witnessing “Zhao Hui” rise directly towards the top of the rankings.
The incident was brought to light after the World Channel was opened, with some attempting to condemn “Zhao Hui” for moral corruption.”
But “Zhao Hui” only sent one person and blocked them off.
[“Zhao Hui – Su Meiying” morals? Are you elementary school students planning to win the game by reciting moral thoughts?]
[“Furthermore, adults rely on evidence when speaking. Do you have any evidence?”]
Indeed, no one had concrete evidence. Those with genuine grievances were all dead.
Memory was just memory. Who could prove that those who confidently claimed that “Zhao Hui” plotted against newcomers weren’t simply sour about their achievements?
The victory fruit, cultivated through the sacrifice of 94 lives, was overly sweet, to the extent that it emited a putrid smell.
As for the non-human creature Nan Zhou, he had also read the hidden history of the second-ranked team in the world channel.
However, Nan Zhou’s reason for not participating in the 99-player match was not because he “doesn’t want to kill” or “doesn’t want to be tainted.”
“These players’ life and death have nothing to do with me,” Nan Zhou said, enjoying his ice cream and feeling very good. He wiggled his feet slightly. “Humans are your kind. You will continue to live with them in the future. Your place is with me. Just leave the rest to me and I will try to balance it.”
Li Yinhang was slightly startled.
After the moment of shock, a wave of tenderness washed over her chest.
If before, she could barely understand the players’ panic about Nan Zhou being a dangerous ‘variable’ now, she genuinely felt unfair to Nan Zhou.
However, Nan Zhou didn’t think he had said anything remarkable.
After expressing his stance, he wholeheartedly immersed himself in the delicious ice cream, allowing Jiang Fang to gently touch his head, obediently, without any resistance.
As Jiang Fang stroked his hair, he lowered his gaze, but something caught his attention in his peripheral vision. He furrowed his brow and absentmindedly ran his fingers over the paper cup filled with ice cream, lost in thought.
He asked Nan Zhou, “Do you want another ice cream?”
Nan Zhou answered quickly, “Hmm.”
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but suppress a smile and asked, “What flavor?”
Nan Zhou, holding the almost empty ice cream cup, replied, “The one you just had.”
Jiang Fang looked at Nan Zhou, playfully wanting to tease him, then lowered his head, letting strands of silver hair touch Nan Zhou’s cheek, and asked, “What flavor did I just have?”
“You don’t know?”
Nan Zhou gazed at him with curiosity, then tilted his head naturally and tenderly kissed his lips.
Jiang Fan, “…………”
After tasting the flavor lightly, Nan Zhou said, “It’s chocolate.”
… This caused Jiang Fan to walk straight to the ice cream vendor, with a faint hint of red on his typically cold Eastern European face.
He arrived in front of the store, but instead of rushing to make a purchase, he scanned all the packaging inside.
Nan Zhou’s attention was distracted by the game for the most part.
Jiang Fang, who hadn’t joined the game, was observing the surroundings.
Since entering the [Colosseum] earlier and facing off against Nan Zhou, he had felt a subtle sense of discord, albeit indescribable.
He just couldn’t pinpoint the source of this discord.
Now, he figured it out.
He looked at the empty paper box used to hold the ice cream.
On it was a simple logo in the shape of a walnut.
A few simple black and white lines outlined a silhouette that Jiang Fang found quite familiar.
——That’s the logo of the [Brain Invasion] factory they just cleared.
Jiang Fang had seen this logo on the walls of the feeding box filled with nutrient solution.
Jiang Fang took an empty paper cup and turned towards the vast white jade [Colosseum]–
Multiple places around the arena were branded with the same brain logo.
But because there was no mention of the [Brain Invasion] factory, only the graphic pattern, and it appeared too openly, it could easily create “The shadowless lamp” effect.
This made Jiang Fang absurdly think of certain manufacturers’ operations in reality.
…The [Brain Invasion] factory placed advertisements in [Forces of Temptation]?
Is the [Brain Invasion] factory not just a game setting, but something that exists in the dimension that controls them?
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Fang suddenly turned around and looked at a certain place in the void.
If there were advertisers, there must be viewers watching the live broadcast in the [Colosseum].
His gaze was extremely cold.
And this sharp, knife-like gaze was accurately captured by the countless, invisible cameras scattered in the air.
Little did Jiang Fang know that this glance skyrocketed his ranking to second place in the Chinese region for winning bets.
And he ranked seventh in the global leaderboard.
Viewers always preferred smart people.
…………….
On the other hand, Nan Zhou, who was still unaware of this, went online again on the World Channel.
[“Cube Boat – Nan Zhou”Hello, everyone. Thank you.]
[“Cube Boat – Nan Zhou” What would you like to play next?]
…It was like a game streamer asking their sponsors what they wanted to see him play.
Players obviously couldn’t accept the fact that they were being played by a game boss.
Amidst a fierce chorus of insults, everyone reached a consensus and exclaimed excitedly, [If you’ve got the skills, let’s play in a team match!]
[“If you’ve got the skills, let’s play in the ‘Roman Noble Game’!”]
Nan Zhou affirmed their proposal, saying, [“I do have those skills.”]
Nan Zhou: [“Just let me finish my ice cream.”]
Nan Zhou: [“Don’t worry, guys. Take your time.”]
The World Channel was once again flooded with ellipses.
…What a dog!
How can there be such a dog boss?!
And Nan Zhou’s next move made other players’ blood pressure skyrocket.
When the new team, “Bisheng” finally made it through the trial level and gathered in the center of the arena, ready for an intense team match to showcase their teamwork, the three of them were stunned.
One of them couldn’t help but question the opponent, “Why is it still just you?!”
Nan Zhou stood alone in the center of the arena, calmly saying, “Because I am enough.”
Before the words even finished, Nan Zhou swiftly moved towards them like the wind.
One minute later, “Bisheng” was eliminated.
As the World Channel once again filled with discussions of “Did they just serve them on a platter,” a five-person team was engaged in another team battle.
Or, you could say it was a one-sided massacre.
Four out of the five-person team on the other side were already dead, and the only surviving college girl had her hands and feet completely bound by a spider web-like sticky substance.
As the only living member of the team, she couldn’t even forcefully surrender and quit.
The five-person team didn’t seem to have any intention of giving the girl an easy way out.
Standing in front of her was a young man wielding a blade, his eyes adorned with a spider tattoo that covered half of his face.
He casually poked and prodded the girl’s limbs, cutting off a piece of her flesh or leaving a deep scar that revealed the bone.
Unable to bear such torment, the girl moaned in pain and begged for mercy, “Just kill me! Let me go!”
“Stop making a fuss,” Spider-Man hushed, laughing. “Let us strategize first. We don’t want to waste our energy and resources on battles with other players, so we’ll have to make do with having you help us increase our game time.”
After speaking, he turned to the other four teammates who were discussing among themselves, asking, “Hey, have you reached a decision yet?”
“……No.”
The girl he asked raised her head.
She had light pink hair and a pair of ponytails, and she looked quite sweet.
However, her worn-out, dyed denim shirt, along with her overly vibrant makeup and calculating eyes, emitted a chilling and evil aura.
She gently opened her blood-red mouth and said, “That treasure of mine must be kept in the 99-man game before it can be used.”
The man with the knife sneered, “Since we’re going to kill anyway, can’t we do it in a team match?”
“Do you think those few points in a team match are worth your attention?”
The girl’s voice was gentle, with a hint of laziness and sinister undertones, “If we can recreate the glory of the first 99-player match, then our “Zhao Hui” will never be surpassed again.”
The girl hugged the album tightly in her hands and giggled, saying, “My precious, it’s perfect for Nan Zhou right now.”
“The more he wins now, the better. The higher he climbs, the more pitiful and miserable he’ll look when he falls and begs for mercy.”
After each victory, Nan Zhou kept the points for himself and handed over all the props to Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang to count.
Li Yinhang truly understood the meaning of “building a tower with sand.”
