"Next match … from … Lucard Bernstein to … Honda Tadashi wins."
Matches were won and lost on the battle stage one after another. Regardless of whether the previous match was soul-stirring or boring, the copper lion statue that was in charge of announcing the matches would not care.
Disregarding the situation on the battle stage, let's talk about the situation below the battle stage.
After Ruo Yu's battle ended, Feng Bujue left the battle stage and walked toward the stone tablet with the rules written on it.
Seven Kills and Xiao Tan were standing near the stone tablet. Seeing Brother Bujue walk over, Xiao Tan waved at him.
"Oh … You can't fight below the battle stage, right?" Feng Bujue walked to the stone tablet and saw the first rule. He then turned to Seven Kills and Xiao Tan. "Sigh … My plan to kill you two below the battle stage is ruined just like that …"
"Hey! How could you say that in front of us! "Xiao Tan was shocked.
"Why can't I say it? It's a Killing Game after all," Feng Bujue replied with a shrug.
"Haha … Brother Feng, you're still the same." Seven Kills' reaction was calm. "Although the words are harsh, it's hard to hate your personality."
Seven Kills was a few years older than them, so he had more life experience. He understood that people who would say such things in front of you were not scary … On the contrary, people who were overly polite and knew how to flatter people were the ones who needed to be wary of.
"Unfortunately …" Feng Bujue laughed self-deprecatingly. "Most people have already started to hate me before they get to know my 'personality'."
"Are you sure it's hate and not fear …" Xiao Tan said in a timely manner.
"The two emotions of 'fear' and 'hate' are often related." Brother Bujue continued with a straight face. "I can easily list a dozen examples, such as … cockroaches, snakes, slugs, ghosts, second-hand smoke, violent mental patients, rich kids who race on the road in the middle of the night, mock exams, pop quizzes, midterms, finals, high school exams, graduation theses …"
"Are you sure these things that you have listed are in a parallel relationship?" Xiao Tan narrowed his eyes.
"And … starting from the mock exams … the rest of the questions seem to be similar …" Seven Kills' mouth twitched as he spoke.
"If you let him continue, he might say something like 'deadline.'" At this moment, a woman's voice sounded and joined their conversation.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Hua Jian, who was a few meters away.
"I haven't delayed a draft in a long time." Feng Bujue looked at the woman and showed a very unhappy expression. "You're still talking about that … Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Only people like you who see 'delay' as normal …" Hua Jian looked at Brother Bujue with disdain. "Would see 'deadline' as something to brag about."
"Tsk …" Feng Bujue raised his head forty-five degrees and said in a disdainful tone, "If you're not satisfied … You can find someone else. I'm just like this."
"You're not ashamed, you're proud of it …" Hua Jian was helpless in the face of Brother Jue's attitude.
"Oh! Oh right, I almost forgot. " Hearing this, Seven Kills suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Brother Jue. "Brother Feng, you're a writer, right? I think I've seen you on TV before. "
"Ah … A writer … I'm not worthy of that title." Feng Bujue replied lazily, "At most, I'm an author … You know, people like us who are in the art industry are very low-key. Don't worship me, or I'll be embarrassed."
"Uh … From the content of your words to the tone of your voice … Do you feel the slightest bit 'embarrassed'?" Seven Kills replied with a dry smile.
"Yes … Look at how shy I am." Feng Bujue glared at her with his dead fish eyes and replied shamelessly.
"That's enough, brother …" Hua Jian cast a sympathetic look at the embarrassed Seven Kills. "If you continue to argue with him … you'll just lose your sanity."
"Then why are you walking over?" Feng Bujue said to Hua Jian, "Do you think your sanity is too high?"
"I'm here to see the rules. Can't I?" Hua Jian replied.
"What's there to see? You're not going to fight." Feng Bujue's seemingly casual statement actually contained the intention of 'testing' and 'provoking' Hua Jian.
"Hah …" Surprisingly, Hua Jian was not surprised that her plan was seen through. At the same time, she was sensitive enough to notice her Brother Jue's intention. "You're trying to provoke me? Who cares? I'm not going to fight. " Then, she took two steps forward to stand before the stone tablet. "Is there a rule that says … those who don't fight can't see the rules?"
"Hmm?" Seven Kills did not seem to understand what Hua Jian was saying. He asked with confusion, "Pretty lady … if you don't fight, how are you going to complete the main mission?"
"The content of the main mission is ambiguous," Hua Jian replied without turning her head around. "Furthermore, the mission tab does not say … that after surrendering, you'll be teleported out of the scenario, right?"
"Hmm … You have a point." Seven Kills scratched his chin and nodded. "Even though the content of the main mission is to win the martial arts competition, what is the concept of 'victory'? Is it to become one of the 'ten challengers' or to successfully kill Yuanlu Zhi?"
"I think … no matter which one it is, the difficulty is very, very high." Feng Bujue continued. "In comparison, killing all the players other than yourself before the martial arts competition ends … might be easier. Furthermore … based on the basic rule of Killing Games, as long as you're the last surviving player, you'll win, and it won't matter if you don't complete the main mission. "
"That's easier said than done," Xiao Tan said. "Currently, before the martial arts competition ends or something happens, it's impossible for players to kill each other. If you want to kill each other off the stage, you have to have the confidence to kill all your opponents before the demon generals arrive. If you can't do that, for example, if you only kill one or two people before the demon generals arrive, then all your efforts will be for naught. You'll be doing all the work for others. " Now, he was able to analyze the problem easily. "With regards to the killing in the ring … it's also very difficult. Even if the announcing statue calls out the names of two players, one of them can escape death by surrendering. There's no need to fight at all. "
"You're right. That's the real difficulty of this scenario." Feng Bujue placed his hands in his pockets and paced around. "That 'main mission' is just a catalyst. It has led us to a relatively safe environment where personal fighting is prohibited. Here, whenever a player's name is called, they'll be faced with a very dangerous duel. 'Directly admitting defeat' is indeed an absolutely safe way to get through this once and for all, but based on my gaming experience, this kind of solution that seems to conflict with the main quest on the surface and does not require any skill at all will definitely come with a price. It's just that we don't know what the price is yet … "At this point, he glanced at Flowery Jian and continued," Now, the problem in front of us is … how to successfully kill all the other players in such an environment. And before we achieve that goal, each of us has to pray … that our names will not be called too many times … "
"Hmm …" After he said that, the four who were gathered together lowered their heads, and their expressions were solemn.
To be honest, the conversation between them and the atmosphere … was rather strange. They were a group of people who were supposed to fight for themselves, but they were gathered together to discuss how to kill each other. This indirectly reflected that … each of them had considerable confidence in their own ability and intelligence, and they had a very good gaming mentality.
At the same time, on the other side of the training ground …
Ruo Yu, who did not participate in the discussion, was communicating with Wind Mark.
Both of them were the type who kept their words short and to the point. Even if a normal person stood next to them, they might not understand what they were talking about.
In any case, Uncle Feng was teaching Ruo Yu the correct way to use the twin swords.
