"Long time no see." Li Xiang smiled and nodded, then looked at Ai Yakumo who was staring at him. "Congratulations to Miss Ai for successfully gaining the support of the Yakumo family."
"Tsk …" Ai Yakumo stroked the blonde hair in front of her forehead and smiled disdainfully. "Do you think I don't know about the shady business between you and Xiao Lie?"
"Alright, you helped us, and I'll be grateful. In the future, if the Scarlet Moon needs any help, I'll bring the Yakumo family to help. "Ai Yakumo sighed. It turned out that she didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark when she owed someone a favor.
Li Xiang looked at Atsushi Amakusa in surprise and saw him smiling bitterly. It seemed that he didn't know when Ai Yakumo learned about the "Eight Cloud Ruler" incident.
Obviously, Miss Ai's growth was beyond Atsushi Amakusa's expectations, and she gradually gained the right to speak in the Yakumo family without him knowing.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Li Xiang now wanted to rope in all the forces that could help him. After all, Owl's backer was Ji Zhanxue, and it was possible that he would clash with the Black King's Ji family.
Ji Zhanxue was one of the Five Thrones, the most extraordinary existence in the Seven Continents.
They chatted and laughed for a while. Baimiya could represent the Kingdom University this time, which increased her right to speak in the fourth branch family. Li Xiang also learned a lot of information about Ye Tong from her words.
"Anyway, don't worry, if we really go to war with Owl, I'll definitely be on your side!" Baimiya smiled casually. Along the way, as long as she was by Li Xiang's side, although there were always bumps and bumps and difficulties, she never lost in the end. She even earned a lot, so she trusted Li Xiang very much.
Just as they were talking, a silent horn slowly sounded in the lounge. With the appearance of the Level 9 player, Thousand-faced Man, the twentieth member of the Katas Zhaofei Committee, the second trial of the School Championship Competition had officially begun.
Groups of young elites poured into the hall from the various resting rooms. They rubbed their fists and rubbed their palms in anticipation of this grand banquet.
All the students who survived the battle in the Jadeite Forest had gained a lot of benefits, and the other students were extremely jealous. With the space turbulence approaching, who wouldn't want to make a fortune through this official competition?
In addition to the dragon eggs and fairy eggs, the five Thrones also gave the young students who came out of the Jadeite Forest a staggering amount of rewards, including sufficient training resources, a title of nobility, and the status of a member of an aristocratic family.
They used the School Championship Competition to win glory for their school and to seek benefits for themselves. The five Sovereigns also used this banquet to distinguish the strength of the younger generation and to rope in those students who did not have powerful backgrounds.
The appearance of the Thousand-faced Man's true body made countless students hold their breaths, not daring to speak.
This was the first time that most people had seen a Level 9 player. Level 9 was at the top of the player sequence and was the real boss of the seven continents.
The Thousand-faced Man belonged to the Katas Zhaofei Committee, and his origin had always been a mystery. At this moment, he was wearing a white suit, but his appearance was as charming and good-looking as a young girl.
"Everyone, I'm honored to stand here on behalf of the Katas Zhaofei Committee to interpret the rules of this trial for you." The Thousand-faced Man's voice was neutral, but as long as he wanted, he could change his voice, appearance, and even physique. "Before that, I'd like to ask, is there anyone here who has never fought with a mutant before?"
Everyone was speechless. They looked at each other and found that everyone had more or less combat experience with mutants.
"In that case, I'm relieved." The Thousand-faced Man let out a long breath and continued, "The content of this trial is more dangerous. If you have never fought with a mutant before, I personally don't recommend that you continue to participate in the trial."
Everyone was in an uproar. Don't recommend participation if you haven't fought before? Could it be that the main content of this trial was to fight with mutants?
"The [Deep Sea Kingdom] is the ruins of an ancient country called Loulan during the Blue Planet era. Later, it was invaded by mutants and turned into ruins. As the Blue Planet shattered, it sank into the depths of the ocean several times. We spent a lot of effort to preserve it completely. "For a hundred years, the Katas Zhaofei Committee has been dedicated to the research of the [Deep Sea Kingdom]. For some reason, a large number of disaster items were left there, and they were almost 100% preserved. The secrets contained in the immortal items have always been the content of our research."
When it came to the [Deep Sea Kingdom], even the Thousand-faced Man was extremely cautious.
Generally speaking, items that were contaminated with disaster aura would quickly decay and become a pool of black water.
After all, that kind of aura could not be absorbed by players, nor could it be preserved. It was mutually exclusive with everything in the seven continents, especially with source substances.
As for items that relied on source substances and magic particles, their internal structure could not withstand the invasion of disaster aura at all. One of the two would definitely die.
However, the disaster items in the [Deep Sea Kingdom] had been preserved to this day without any harm or dissipation. From this, it could be seen that the ruins of this ancient country were not ordinary.
But how could such a place be used for a trial? Li Xiang was extremely curious. They couldn't possibly bring in a large number of disasters and mutants to fight with them, right?
Doing so would be dangerous and unreliable.
Apart from Bai Lili, no one among the humans could completely control disaster.
Many people had the same thoughts as Li Xiang and quietly waited for the Thousand-faced Man's explanation.
"I believe that many people must be curious about our trial method. Now, I will officially announce it to everyone." The Thousand-faced Man smiled faintly and clapped his hands. The large hall suddenly shook violently.
Li Xiang steadied himself and felt that there seemed to be something slowly protruding from the ground. When the vibration stopped, he was shocked to find that there were countless holes in the ground. It was as if a mechanical device had disintegrated, revealing the layer of intricate parts inside.
In each crack, there was a large capsule-shaped mechanical device.
"This is the latest Origin Substance Clone Transference Device developed by Wessex. It can project your Origin Substance Clone into the [Deep Sea Kingdom]. " The Thousand-faced Man couldn't help but praise sincerely. "These Origin Substance Clone Transference Devices are connected to the Goddess of Calamity. She controls them single-handedly and will generate your Origin Substance Clone according to the results of the scan. As long as the clone dies, the connection here will be broken."
Hearing that there was also the Goddess of Calamity, the students were even more amazed.
Although the Goddess of Calamity's system had always helped humans, it rarely took the initiative to cooperate with them. It was only during the final ranking that she would occasionally interact with the trial participants. For example, Li Xiang and Ji Yanqing had cooperated on the same stage.
With the Goddess of Calamity's participation, it meant that countless data from this trial would be poured into her system. In the future, when they became players, it would be more advantageous for them to judge and exchange.
"Also projected into the [Deep Sea Kingdom] are mutants and disasters related to disaster items! That's right, the projected creatures include disasters, which means that you may unfortunately encounter disasters when fighting against enemies, "the Thousand-faced Man said coldly. The Thousand Faced Man said coldly, "This is the reason why I didn't recommend people who have no combat experience to participate in this trial. Once you're killed by a projected disaster, your nerves may be severely damaged. This kind of injury is very likely to be irreversible. "
The Origin Substance Clone was not foolproof. It was connected to the nerves of the Origin Substance Clone Transference Device here. Once the nerves were damaged, it would be very difficult to treat.
"This …" Some people were afraid. As the best in the university, they had resources and talent that most people did not have. In the end, winning glory for the university in the School Championship was still for their own sake. If the danger was too high, many people would definitely give up.
After all, the School Championship in the past was just a competition between students. No matter how dangerous it was, there were players watching, and there were very few deaths.
"Of course, the risk and the reward must be equal. This time, you will be simulating the war between the human faction and the Calamity faction. This is something that countless sages have experienced. For every mutant or Calamity monster you kill, you will obtain a corresponding Calamity Item Fragment Card. Once you have all the Cards, you can come out and exchange them for the corresponding items! "
"If you don't want that disaster item, we can convert it into an equivalent amount of human camp contribution points and transfer it to your account through the Goddess of Disaster. Because it's a simulation of a real battle, the exchange rate is the most favorable. "
The Thousand Faces looked at them with a smile and continued to tempt them, "You should know very well how difficult it is to obtain human camp contribution points after entering the university. This is related to your future as a player. This is a good opportunity for you. It will be difficult in the future."
There was a cry of surprise. Human camp contribution points were very useful to a cultivator. Whether or not they could become a player, with a large number of contribution points, they and their family would definitely soar. It was not impossible for them to join the Aristocratic Alliance.
If they were lucky enough to become a member of the Aristocratic Alliance, it would be a blessing for their descendants. It would allow their descendants to have a higher starting line than most people.
They had walked through the seven continents and were very clear about the cruelty of the seven continents.
Among the students who could rise up from the ordinary and come here, not one could do so. Without resources and connections, there was no hope for them to rise up.
The last good opportunity to earn human camp contribution points was during the ultimate trial. After that, the contribution points that many people had accumulated over the course of a year were less than a fraction of that.
"We won't force you. Those who are willing to participate can go down and find a portal to enter. Those who are not, please return to the lounge. The Katas Zhaofei Committee will arrange for you to go back to your school. There is no need to feel burdened. We have communicated with your school about this. They will respect your decision," the Thousand Faces said casually.
That was true. However, if they gave up on this trial, their school's points would be reduced by one, which would be detrimental to their school's ranking.
Everyone hesitated for a long time before they slowly made up their minds.
Several students from Lighthouse Academy walked up to Li Xiang and explained awkwardly before they left.
There were still many students who were unwilling to take the risk.
Those students from Lighthouse Academy were the only ones who had given up on the trial by the Chronometer Tower Consortium University!
Many people looked at them with disdain, but more of them were secretly happy.
Lighthouse Academy of Players from the Subcontinent District had unexpectedly won first place in the first trial. That terrifying amount of points had driven many schools into despair. However, almost everyone had given up this time. It was a good opportunity to surpass them.
Li Xiang felt that he was being watched. He comforted his seniors and went down the crack.
Everyone had their own ambitions.
The students from Lighthouse Academy were indeed much weaker. They had no choice but to participate in the School Championship Competition, not to mention that it was so dangerous. It was normal for them to give up.
Bai Micha greeted him and went to a transfer device next to him. She smiled sweetly and took the lead to enter it.
The Origin Substance Doppelganger Transference Device gave Li Xiang the urge to disassemble it. He suppressed this urge and dove into the Origin Substance Doppelganger Transference Device. It was quite spacious inside, and the temperature was just right. There was even a large, soft bed.
Li Xiang lay on the bed. Soon, he felt sleepy.
[Nerve connection activated. 10% … 20% …]
[Nerve connection complete. Creating projection …]
[Host Li Xiang. Analysis complete. Backup of data …]
[Projection complete. Connecting to the Deep Sea Kingdom.]
All kinds of strange electronic sounds were ringing in his head. As he gradually woke up, Li Xiang was surprised to find himself in a small town filled with yellow sand.
Countless information flooded into his mind. This was a small command center that humans had set up to guard the border. He was the chief commander of this small command center.
On the sand table that occupied one-third of the room, there were hills, winding rivers, and scattered human settlements. They were well-organized, precise, and lifelike.
Looking at it carefully, he found that the important templates such as fortresses, defense towers, and positions were all embedded on the sand table. The small command center they were in had a small red flag on it. It was located in the most dangerous area.
Each of the human garrisons emitted different lights, representing different combat strengths and combat readiness.
There was nothing out of place.
Li Xiang seemed to have forgotten his identity at that moment. He naturally accepted the identity of the chief commander of a small branch.
He wore a light yellow military uniform and carried a black box in his hand. At the moment, he seemed to have forgotten the information about the trial in his mind.
I am a human commander, a soldier resisting the disaster. My goal is to drive the disaster out of the country.
Li Xiang suddenly looked up. His eyes were sharp. On the sand table, a dark arc of light gradually flashed. It slowly covered the frontline. Many fortress models were covered and fell into darkness.
"Tap tap tap …"
Powerful military boots sounded outside the door.
"Chief Commander, there is the latest combat information." A girl's loud voice came from the door.
Without waiting for Li Xiang to answer, the impatient girl soldier rushed into the command room.
"Chief Commander, take a look at this information." The girl was his adjutant. She had just finished training in the military base and was transferred here. "These damn black-blooded bastards launched a large-scale attack again."
"Let me see." Li Xiang took the combat information. It was bright red. It was the same as the real-time display on the sand table. The mutants had invaded their outermost positions in a large scale. Many of the positions around them had sent in requests for help.
"If this continues, we will be surrounded by a large mutant army in less than three days." The girl's adjutant had a bitter expression. "What should we do, Chief Commander?"
"Don't worry. Take me to the warehouse. How many people can still fight?" Li Xiang said as he had her open the door and walked out.
"Yes." The girl's adjutant nodded and immediately led the way.
Opening the door, the gloomy weather made his heart feel gloomy.
