Whether it was a PVP expert or a PVE expert, as long as they had some achievements in their respective fields, they could enter the core elite group.
Of course, because the purpose of expanding the core elite group this time was to increase the strength of the Stronghold, the most important thing was to promote PVP experts. The concept of the Ruling Cup was proposed for the first time. It was far from the Capital of Glory's Glory Cup, but it still caused a huge stir in the circle.
At the very least, this meant that Ruling Sword was once again at the forefront of the majority of clubs.
There were also many people who thought that Ruling Sword was too arrogant. They had only been developing for a few days and they already wanted to organize a competition. The Glory Cup had been around for ten years.
Lu Li didn't care about what others thought of him. He gave everyone three days to sign up. People outside of the club could also sign up, as long as they didn't have any organization tag on them. If they had a tag, they could also join after leaving the organization.
There were only individual competitions in the competition, which were carried out in groups. At the beginning, there were ten people in a group and the top three would advance.
The later stages of the competition were more or less the same. In the end, the top 10 would be decided, and there would be even more prizes. There would be a total of 300 prizes, which looked very attractive. However, the prizes were a little small. The first prize was only 1 million dollars and a piece of Legendary equipment.
However, many people didn't care about the prize, but the direct entry into Ruling Sword's core group.
Ruling Sword made it very clear that anyone who won the prize would have the right to enter Ruling Sword's elite group.
If some people didn't care about this and only wanted a million dollars and a piece of Epic equipment, then that wasn't a problem. Ruling Sword wouldn't force them. There wasn't a situation where they had to join to receive the prize.
At least there wasn't a situation where no one was interested. More and more people signed up to participate in the competition. Ruling Sword's strength was clear for all to see. They were the best in Instance Dungeon First Clears. They occupied three Strongholds and were allies with Drizzle Court and Peerless City. They also had a foothold in Wild Bosses.
No one would refuse a club like this.
Other clubs wouldn't refuse such an opportunity either. As such, when Wander received the registration form, he saw many suspicious IDs.
"This person is suspicious. I remember that he went to Blood Red War Flag before, then left and went to Seventh Heaven. He left a few days ago. There's also this one. This one should also be suspicious. I found out that he was once chased by Wings of Dawn. Apparently, it was because he sold information. And this … and this … On this registration form, I can find at least two hundred people who are suspected to be spies. Lu Li, by doing this, we're obviously creating an opportunity for others to take advantage of us. "Wander was not optimistic about Lu Li's rules at all.
What bullsh * t rules? There were no rules at all.
"It's not a big deal," Lu Li said. "Do you think I don't know that they will send someone to participate in our competition?"
"Then why are you still like this? Why don't you restrict such people from participating in the competition?"
"Do you think this is something that can be restricted just because you say so? Show me your limits, "Lu Li said speechlessly.
"But we can't be so careless and accept everyone." Wander was now in the intelligence business. He knew better than anyone what kind of disaster it would be if these suspicious people were to enter the club.
"Hehe, with you here, why would I worry about this?" Lu Li said with a smile. "I'm showing you this list so that you can count these outsiders who can enter our core elite group and do a long inspection. Only those who are confirmed to be correct will be kept. As for those we're not sure about, we'll just find a chance to expel them in the future."
"Expel all of them?" Wander was speechless. "Then what's the point of doing this? We might as well not let outsiders participate."
"Do you know that as long as these spies don't get the information they want, they will work harder than ordinary club members. Only then will they be trusted and be able to participate in more confidential activities. These people are more powerful than you think."
"What you're saying is that we'll temporarily borrow the strength of these people, and when we have enough people, we'll fire them?"
"That's right. As long as we can't guarantee 100% that they'll be fine, we have to expel them."
"F * ck, that's too unkind. Lu Li, you're too shameless."
"Whether it's unkind or not, just touch the corner of your lips. Don't you know how much you approve of it? Don't pretend to be innocent here," Lu Li said with disdain.
The three-day registration period was over, and the competition was held as scheduled.
Lu Li applied for a competition venue from the System, but the cost of this kind of venue was too high. It was so high that the average club couldn't afford it. As such, the venue that Lu Li applied for was only for the final competition venue. The first few people were directly driven into the arena by him.
Anyway, the arena only charged a few copper coins to rent a room.
In fact, if it didn't look too shabby, he even wanted these people to plant flags in the wild.
This time, there were tens of thousands of people who signed up for the competition. The scale couldn't compare to the large-scale competitions, and it couldn't even compare to the small-scale competitions. This was because Lu Li clearly prohibited those with club identities or other identities from participating in the competition. Therefore, it was already a very impressive number to have tens of thousands of people participate.
In the first round, 70% of the tens of thousands of people were directly eliminated. 30% of the people advanced, and so on. 300 people were quickly eliminated, which was the number that Lu Li wanted.
Some of these 300 people probably wouldn't join Ruling Sword. They just wanted that little bit of prize money. After all, they had thrown out a lot of real money this time, as well as equipment. Even the lowest consolation prize was a Dark Gold equipment. For the top players, Dark Gold equipment wasn't even worth looking at, but for the casual players who couldn't enter large-scale Instance Dungeons, Dark Gold equipment was enough to make them go crazy.
These 300 people would also compete for the final rankings, but for Lu Li and the others, they had already achieved their goal of winning this competition.
Lu Li sent people to talk to the 300 people about joining Ruling Sword's Core Elite team. At the same time, he urged Cat Dad to speed up the promotion. He had spent so much money on this competition that only lasted for two days. Of course, he couldn't just get a batch of Core Elite team candidates. This was actually a very good promotion process.
The competition video was broadcasted at the same time, and it was edited to look very high-end.
Many players were excited to see this and became fans of Ruling Sword. Some of the casual players who were originally hesitant to join Ruling Sword also made up their minds.
Among the 300 people that Lu Li had received, about 160 of them were Ruling Sword's own Elite team members. They had gone through a lot of tests and officially became members of the Core Elite team. They could enjoy more benefits and participate in more high-end club quests.
Lu Li was much more at ease with this group of people.
Among the remaining 140 people, about 20 to 30 people clearly refused to sign an agreement with the club, which meant that they would leave after receiving the prize money and equipment.
There were also another 100 people. What made Lu Li and Wander speechless was that most of these 100 people were suspicious.
As Wander said, 70 to 80 people who were suspected to be spies were a bunch of ticking time bombs that could explode at any time.
In fact, it was normal to think about it. Since they were sent to be spies, they couldn't be too weak. At the very least, they had to be able to pass Ruling Sword's assessment.
The champion was a player with the ID 'Lonely Little Fireball'. He was quite strong, but no one had heard of him. According to him, he had entered the game rather late, and he used to be an unaffiliated player in other games.
