"Isn't that the Magician?"
"Isn't that Shi Nai over there?"
"Why are these two people here?"
"Do they want to place a bet?"
"I don't think so …?"
The surrounding Players finally noticed Rozen and Shi Nai's presence. After a moment of surprise, they quickly made way for them, no longer squeezing with the two of them.
Shi Nai ignored the situation and just looked at Rozen with a somewhat complicated expression.
Presumably, Shi Nai didn't expect to see Rozen immediately after she went online.
Rozen also didn't expect that.
Therefore, Rozen almost blurted out.
"Why are you here again?"
That was a random thought that flashed in Rozen's mind.
Since yesterday, Rozen had been meeting Shi Nai all the time.
Now that he suddenly said that, it was understandable.
However, this made Shi Nai, who had a complicated expression, instantly angry.
"Do you think I want to meet you?" Shi Nai was extremely unhappy and said, "I didn't expect to meet you when I came to check the odds. If I knew earlier …"
Before she finished her sentence, she was interrupted by Rozen.
"If you knew earlier, you wouldn't have come?" Rozen said slowly, "Even if you didn't come, it doesn't change the fact that you lost to a player with a lower ranking than you yesterday. Today's odds are proof."
"You …" Shi Nai suddenly became angry, "Aren't your odds higher than Dark Wind? If you didn't give up the fifth round yesterday, this wouldn't have happened, right? "
That was true.
Although that match was caused by Rozen's voluntary forfeiture, there were still some flaws in his record. Not every player was that rational. Most of them just followed the trend and didn't even know much about the players themselves. That was why Rozen's odds were higher than Dark Wind's, and people were more optimistic about Dark Wind's chances than him.
But …
"I don't care about these things." Rozen shrugged and said, "As long as I can achieve my goal, the result of the BoB Tournament has nothing to do with me."
These words caused Shi Nai to be stunned.
"Purpose?" Shi Nai asked almost subconsciously, "What purpose?"
Hearing this, Rozen grinned.
"Guess."
After saying this, Rozen turned around and left without looking back.
"Hey!"
Only then did Shi Nai react, and almost subconsciously followed.
Wherever the duo passed, the players hurriedly made way for Rozen and Shi Nai.
Rozen and Shi Nai entered the Office of the President together and first registered for the main competition before walking to the elevator together.
"What are you planning?"
Shi Nai was still questioning this point.
"I say, what does this have to do with you?"
Rozen was helpless.
Shi Nai's persistent questioning surprised Rozen.
"Do you care about me that much?"
So Rozen casually teased.
"Who cares about you!" Shi Nai immediately retorted, "I just don't want you to mess up the next game. What if something goes wrong in the game because of you?"
The main tournament of every BoB had the same rules. First, thirty participants would be selected from the preliminaries. Then, at the start of the main tournament, the thirty participants would be transferred to the same map, where they would engage in a battle royale and a battle royale.
The positions of the players who were transferred to the map were randomly determined, but each player would be at least a thousand meters away from each other. There would be no situation where the enemy suddenly appeared in front of them.
Just like what was mentioned before, this was a game where players used guns to attack each other. It required a wide map. If all thirty players were thrown into a narrow map, then everyone would start shooting wildly at each other at the start of the match. More than half of the participants would immediately die. Such a chaotic battle wouldn't determine one's strength or ranking, and it wouldn't be entertaining at all. Naturally, the game officials wouldn't allow it.
In view of this, the map of the main competition was a circular field with a diameter of ten kilometers. The size was similar to the first floor of Aincrad. There were also various terrains inside, such as mountains, forests, deserts, and even abandoned cities. The thirty participants would compete with each other at a distance of a thousand meters.
Of course, the map was so wide, but there were only thirty players. It was very likely that the players wouldn't even be able to meet their opponents, and they wouldn't be able to fight until the time of the main competition. Some people even took advantage of this and planned to hide until the last person was left. Therefore, the thirty participants were automatically given an item called Satellite Scanner after the start of the game.
The function of this item was to locate the players.
The system set that after the start of the game, every fifteen minutes, there would be a surveillance satellite above the field. At this time, all the participants' receivers would receive the location of all players on the map, and as long as the player touched the flashing light on the map, the player's character name would be displayed, so every fifteen minutes, every player's location would be directly exposed.
In response to this, the players needed to organize their actions according to the position of all the players displayed on the receiver. Whether it was a surprise attack, escape, change position, or direct attack, it was a very difficult test for the players.
Therefore, it was impossible to stay in the game until the end.
Under such circumstances, the thirty players needed to compete on the same stage and finally decide the winner.
And that person would directly become the strongest player in GGO, get the best prize, and may even receive a commission from a company in the real world, becoming the spokesperson of the company's product, gaining both fame and fortune.
But because of this nature of the battle royale, often, the movement of a player would affect the final outcome of the battle.
The opponents of the participants were the twenty-nine people other than themselves, so they had to be vigilant against everyone and could not ignore them. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would fall at any time and never be able to rise again.
Especially with an opponent like Rozen, if they were not careful, it was very likely that there would really be a big problem.
Shi Nai thought of this, which was why she kept questioning.
Other than that …
(Could the purpose he mentioned be referring to the matter between him and the cloaked man?)
If that was the case, what was he going to do?
The two of them had once fought seriously in the death game, what would they do in this competition?
Shi Nai couldn't help but care about this.
Unfortunately, Rozen had no intention of explaining at all.
"If you really want to know, then come to me first after the game starts."
As he spoke, Rozen walked into the elevator and pressed the button to go to the waiting room floor.
Shi Nai followed.
However, Shi Nai didn't ask anymore, as if she knew that Rozen wouldn't tell her the answer, and fell silent.
The two of them went to the underground waiting room together and entered it.
"— — —"
Just like yesterday, the arrival of Rozen made all the voices of the players disappear instantly, and it became silent.
Everyone looked at Rozen, their expressions full of fear and vigilance.
Rozen ignored these people and continued to walk forward.
Shi Nai did the same and continued to follow.
Then …
"You're here?"
A rather familiar voice could be heard.
