"Clap, clap, clap …"
The sudden clapping sound entered everyone's ears. It was extremely clear. Everyone stopped, including the many students who were fighting for seats. They all shifted their gazes to the other side of the C-shaped five-step staircase.
There was also a high platform on that side. There was only a row of ordinary-looking seats, but no one dared to fight for seats there because that row was obviously the rostrum.
There was no one there before, but at some point, more than a dozen figures who were shrouded in divine light were sitting there. The one who clapped was the only middle-aged man standing on the rostrum.
The man looked no different from an ordinary person. They could clearly see his appearance, but as long as they looked away, the impression of his appearance would disappear. They would forget what he looked like, how old he was, and even his gender. However, they were very clear that there was such a person, which was very contradictory.
This extremely extraordinary scene made everyone's heart tremble. They couldn't help but quiet down. They quietly looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Excuse me.
I'm the host of this year's super freshmen summer camp. You can call me Instructor Mo. From now on, the new super freshmen summer camp has begun. "
He paused for a moment to let everyone digest the news first, and then continued.
"From now on, you can check the rules and procedures of this year's summer camp."
Before everyone lowered their heads to check subconsciously, he stretched out his hands and waved gently.
"Students who have seats, please sit down first. Those who haven't got a seat, please stop and read the procedures first."
Lin Xiao happened to have no seats, so he sat directly on the ground. The light screen of his wristband popped up. There was indeed a new message to check. He tapped lightly with his finger and the new message unfolded.
First, he looked at the rules. This was simple. It was nothing more than not being allowed to kill. However, there was an explanation clause about the death index at the back, which meant that accidental deaths were allowed in this year's summer camp. The bloody prompt made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Next was the procedure of the summer camp. The first stage was the positioning.
The explanation was very simple. The total number of people in this year's summer camp was as high as 4,158, but there were only 585 seats in total. Each seat could only be occupied by one person, which meant that more than 3,500 participants did not have a seat.
What should they do?
Snatch!
According to the rules, every student had three challenges. After paying the price corresponding to the level of the seat, they could challenge the current owner of the seat. If they won, they would snatch the seat. If they lost, the price would belong to the owner of the seat. It was equivalent to defending the ring.
The challenge fee for the stone throne was a Purple Epic-grade 5-star card.
The fee for challenging the Black Iron Throne was two Purple Epic grade 5-star cards.
The challenge fee for the Bronze Throne was three Purple Epic-quality 5-star cards or one Orange Legendary-quality card.
The challenge fee for the Silver Throne was two Orange Legendary five-star cards.
The highest golden thrones were naturally three orange Legendary five-star cards or one gold Mythical-quality five-star card.
If the challenge was successful, both the card and the throne would belong to the challenger. If the challenge failed, the challenge fee would naturally belong to the winner of the throne.
This was equivalent to encouraging challenges, but the high challenge fee would make everyone challenge rationally, and those who were challenged would be able to obtain both glory and great rewards.
The prerequisite was that he could successfully defend his position. If he was beaten down, there would naturally be nothing left.
Meanwhile, the method of the challenge was naturally a virtual showdown in God's Domain. Both parties would compete against each other using the comprehensive strength of their God's Domain.
After most of the students finished reading the message, the host said,
"The duration of this stage is one week. During this period, you can challenge at will. After one week, any student who has not sat on any throne and defeated any opponent will be eliminated!"
"Wow!!!"
Uncontrollable shock resounded in the hall. This elimination rate was simply exaggerated. It meant that students like Lin Xiao, who were prepared to muddle through this stage, had no idea. They had to fight for it.
Not only did they have to fight for it, but they also had to defend their seat at least once.
In other words, not only did they have to win once and snatch a seat, but they also had to defeat an opponent.
"This is really f * cking killing me!"
Lin Xiao looked around. Bai Cheng, Lin Xu, Shen Yuexin, Dai Lingtong, and Tang Ling reacted quickly. They were lucky and had snatched a seat early. Next, they just had to defend one round.
At this moment, the host said again,
"But correspondingly, students who can still sit on these thrones after one week will receive generous rewards based on the throne they sit on. Please check the specific rewards yourself."
After saying this, the host left just like that. However, more than a dozen unknown projections were still sitting on the rostrum. They were motionless, as if they were fake.
Lin Xiao guessed that they were the projections of some big shots. The projection's consciousness had not descended, but it could descend at any time. Perhaps it had already descended, but they could not detect it.
He looked up at the stars in the sky and guessed that at this moment, there were probably many gazes cast here to watch their performance.
At this moment, Bai Ze and Qiao Kaiyuan came over. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't challenge them first.
Let's discuss it with the boss first. "
"Okay."
As he spoke, he opened the group chat. However, the group chat was silent. No one said anything.
Lin Xiao knew the reason. If it was just a seat, it would be easy to solve. However, not only did they have to snatch a seat, but they also had to defeat an opponent. That was difficult.
There was a way to exploit this loophole. That was to have five companions who did not have a seat challenge the five who had a seat. They would surrender once and let the first batch complete the task. Then, they would challenge again and successfully sit on the throne.
Then, they would find another five people to continue the challenge. This round, the five newcomers would go easy on them and let the second batch complete the task. Then, they would let the third batch sit on the throne, and so on.
However, if they did this, there would be a problem. If this round continued, everyone would have to give up at least two challenge opportunities to succeed. Most importantly, someone in the last batch would have to sacrifice themselves. They would have to give up three challenge opportunities for everyone to meet the conditions.
Then, there was a problem. Not everyone was willing to give up all the challenge opportunities.
After all, they were not very familiar with each other. Although they came from the same place and should help each other, the premise was that it would not affect their own futures.
This was especially true for the strongest few in the group. They had a chance to challenge for a better seat. Three challenge opportunities were very important to them.
A very simple rule broke their thoughts of joining other groups. The rules allowed you to cheat as long as you and your companions were willing to pay the price.
The first to break the silence was Lin Xu. He waved at Lin Xiao.
He came to Lin Xu's throne under the envious gazes of the others.
"You challenge me first and admit defeat. Then challenge me and I admit defeat. Then I challenge you and I admit defeat. That way, I only have to use up one challenge opportunity, and you have to use up two challenge opportunities. How about that?"
The people in the group were extremely envious, but there was nothing they could do. The other person's uncle was taking care of his nephew. Outsiders could not envy.
"That's not a problem."
Lin Xiao immediately agreed. In any case, with his strength, he did not have the confidence to challenge others and succeed. Using two chances to complete the task was worth it.
Lin Xu's seat was a black-iron throne. It required two purple epic-quality five-star cards to issue a challenge. Lin Xiao now had one epic-quality five-star card in his hand, but he could replace the three blue rare-quality five-star cards with one purple epic-quality five-star card to issue a challenge.
That was not to say that the value of three blue rare-quality cards was comparable to that of a purple epic-quality card. It was just that the exchange value in the summer camp was like that. Three cards of the same type could be exchanged for a higher-grade card.
However, after the summer camp, they could not exchange like that. After all, even cards of the same level had different values.
For example, the Divinity Card and the Bloody Arena in Lin Xiao's hand were both of gold mythical quality, but the actual value of the Divinity Card was almost equivalent to two Bloody Arenas.
Among the gold mythical five-star cards, the Divinity Card was the most valuable, followed by the Divine Territory Card.
The two of them discussed the details in a low voice, and he immediately issued a challenge to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu quickly accepted his challenge. The scene before Lin Xiao's eyes changed abruptly, and he appeared in the sky above a virtual plane. Lin Xu was opposite him. Just like in the simulation, he chose the terrain first.
There was no need to observe the plane. He directly admitted defeat and let Lin Xu complete the task first.
Then, he immediately took back the card used for the challenge with Lin Xu and continued the challenge. This time, Lin Xu decisively admitted defeat. He ended the challenge without even looking at the virtual plane clearly. When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found himself sitting on the black iron throne that Lin Xu had just sat on.
Then, Lin Xu would challenge him again and admit defeat. Then, he would complete his mission. Next …
Lin Xiao suddenly found several envious and eager gazes staring at him. He immediately understood what was going on. He had completed the task anyway, and he could not hold on to this position. There would definitely be a replacement. Rather than giving it to others, he might as well give it to his companions.
He looked at Lin Xu with an inquiring gaze. Lin Xu shrugged and gave him an indifferent expression.
"Do as you see fit. I'll go observe the others."
Obviously, he was not going to continue sitting on this throne.
After he said that, Lin Xiao had to make his own decision. His gaze swept across Bai Ze and Shang Xiaoxue. He had become more familiar with them during this period of time, and felt that they could talk quite well.
He did the same thing as he did with Lin Xu. He let the two of them discuss the order. They would complete the task first. As for who it would be given to later, he did not want to care. He let them decide for themselves. After all, he could not sit on this bronze throne.
After completing the task, he felt relaxed. He did not care how they divided it. He walked around the venue with his hands behind his back.
There were a total of five levels of thrones in this venue. Like a pyramid, the higher one went, the fewer there were. When he walked to the top level, he saw that all nine golden thrones had owners. Each of them had a strange appearance. Figures with extraordinary auras sat on the thrones and looked down.
From another point of view, the placement of each throne in this venue was particular. From a distance, the way the thrones on the lower levels were arranged seemed to be clustered around the thrones on the upper levels. It looked like the thrones on the lower levels were surrounded by stars surrounding the nine highest positions in the center. Just the thought of sitting there made him feel refreshed.
