"I see." Lin Yi nodded his head in enlightenment. Although Heaven's Equal Security had an Nascent Soul expert like Housekeeper Song, he was only there to scare people and wouldn't personally go out to deliver the goods.
Since it was a simulation, it naturally had to be restored to the most realistic situation. Usually, it was the Golden Core stage escort masters who were sent out. Naturally, it was the Golden Core stage escort masters who were sent out this time. Otherwise, it would be meaningless if all the major escort agencies sent out their strongest experts.
If they sent Nascent Soul experts, even if they won, they wouldn't be able to display the true skills of the agencies. The five agencies that won in the end wouldn't be able to convince the public.
"The time limit is one incense stick's worth of time. If the escort party can successfully defend the escorted goods within the time limit, and all four escorts survive and annihilate their opponents, they will get eighty points. For every person the escort party loses, ten points will be deducted. For every person the escort party survives, ten points will also be deducted."
"On the other hand, if the guard doesn't manage to defend the item, they will get zero points. On the other hand, the robber will get 80 points. With the same logic, for every person they lose, 10 points will be deducted. For every person the enemy survives, 10 points will be deducted."
"In this round, the 32 agencies will each get one chance to defend and one chance to rob. When added together, it will be the total points. Do you all understand the rules?" Zhao Bufan said to everyone.
"Yes, sir!" The group of escorts replied in unison with great tacit understanding.
"This rule sounds a little cruel." Lin Yi, on the other hand, couldn't help but be speechless. The rules of the first round of the tournament weren't so much a competition, it was more like killing each other. Moreover, they were using headcount points, forcing you to kill each other!
To sum it up, whether it was the side guarding or the side robbing, there was only one general principle for the armed escorts who were about to participate in the competition. While ensuring that they survived, they had to try their best to kill their opponents. Only then would they be able to get high points!
Lin Yi had participated in all sorts of tests and competitions ever since he came to Sky class island, and while competition was encouraged as well, he'd never been in a competition like this, where he was forced to kill his opponent with a headcount.
All of this could only be attributed to the environment. Compared with the killing competition at present, the trial competitions of the Three Pavilions in the north island were simply like playing house in a greenhouse. They were too comfortable and unchallenging.
No one knew if it was an illusion or if it was real, but from this moment on, the guards of the thirty-two escort agencies suddenly had an additional layer of chilling killing intent on their bodies. The atmosphere suddenly became unusually solemn, as if they were soldiers who were about to go into battle. Layers of dark clouds floated across the sky, pressing down on everyone's heads.
"Brother Qi, what are your plans?" Lin Yi looked at Qi Wenhan, then turned his head to look at the surrounding escort agencies.
Since the rules of the South Continent Escort Agency Grand Event were different every year, they had only just learned of the rules. The leaders of the various escort agencies were busy arranging their troops and formations at this moment.
This was the first round of the competition. Whether they could win the first battle would directly determine the momentum of the escort agency and indirectly affect the direction of the competition. Therefore, it was of utmost importance and could not be lost.
Hearing Lin Yi's question, the guards of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency all looked at Qi Wenhan. Chief Escort Qi Mingyuan was the judge on the stage, so the arrangement of the troops fell on the young master, Qi Wenhan. Everyone's future was naturally in Qi Wenhan's hands.
"That's a good question, Brother Ling. Although the format of the competition is different in every South Continent Escort Agency Festival, the escort agencies that achieve good results in the end all use the same strategy, without exception." Qi Wenhan smiled mysteriously.
"Oh?" Lin Yi could not help but be interested.
"The strategy is actually very simple. With a great reward, there will be brave men!" Qi Wenhan glanced at the surrounding guards, then lowered his voice and revealed to Lin Yi, "Old Master has already told me before that this competition will not be stingy with the reward, so I have been preparing for it for a long time. Otherwise, how could it have taken so long to scrape together the three hundred thousand spiritual jades that we paid to the Hong Consortium last time?"
Lin Yi suddenly understood. So it turned out that he had really been prepared for this long ago.
"Everyone, listen up. In this round of competition, regardless of whether you participate in guarding or robbing, regardless of the outcome, anyone from our agency who participates in the competition will receive a reward of fifty thousand spiritual jades!" Qi Wenhan announced to the crowd.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency all gasped. Even Lin Yi was a little shocked. Fifty thousand spiritual jades was not a small sum. Many escorts would not be able to save up such a sum even after working hard for more than ten years. The Qi father and son were sparing no expense!
But thinking about it carefully, in such a cruel competition, every participant was fighting with their lives on the line. Once they stepped into the competition, it meant that they would most likely die. This was not a joke. If there were no benefits, who would be willing to risk their lives for no reason?
Only with great rewards would there be death warriors. Not only the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, but the other escort agencies also gave generous rewards to the participants. In order to obtain a good ranking in this year's South Continent Escort Agency Grand Meet, this was the most basic of sacrifices.
Of course, for the various escort agencies, this kind of sacrifice was not completely without a reward. On the contrary, if they could win in the competition, or even make a name for themselves, the rewards were far more generous than what the average person could imagine.
This was not because of the competition's rewards, but because the large Chambers of Commerce that had been specially invited to watch the competition had all made verbal promises in advance. Many of their large orders would be signed on the spot with the winning agency!
At that time, the benefits involved would not be as simple as a mere few tens of thousands of spiritual jades. It would absolutely be an astronomical figure that was sufficient to affect the rise and fall of any escort agency, and even the five great escort agencies were no exception.
Not only were these orders shocking profits, but they also directly determined the market share. It could be said to be extremely important. Therefore, the father and son, Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan, were sparing no expense in order to preserve their influence.
Fifty thousand spiritual jades! In the face of such a generous reward, the escorts of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency began to breathe heavily. Although every other escort agency had also offered generous rewards, there were only a few that had reached the amount of fifty thousand spiritual jades.
After all, compared to the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, which was one of the five major escort agencies, the other escort agencies were still lacking in capital. Fifty thousand spiritual jades per person, including the four guards and four robbers in the first round of the competition, would add up to a total of four hundred thousand spiritual jades. This was equivalent to the annual profit of those escort agencies. How many of them could afford it? (Murloc Yuren22, the official QQ interest group "Campus Belle's Bodyguard", welcome to follow!)
