Chapter 247 No Techniques, All Numbers
Chapter 247 No Techniques, All Numbers
Wen Xishu certainly knew that points did not represent combat effectiveness, but in a sense...
If it's a card game, others are still relying on signing in and doing daily card pools, but you have unlimited card draws...
Then it is hard to say that your fighting power will not be the overwhelming one.
Wen Xishu had indeed never fought such a prosperous battle.
Zheng Zai was stunned:
"How much...how much? How much did you say just now, brother?"
Wen Xishu made a shushing gesture:
"You heard it right. Keep a low profile, Old Zheng. I will do my best to protect you."
Zheng felt dizzy.
Of course, this number had nothing to do with him, but even so, he still found it outrageous when he heard it.
It's just like in the world of martial arts, while others are still practicing a certain sword manual and fighting to the death, while you have already comprehended the law of heaven and earth. It's outrageous.
The difference in numbers is so big that it doesn't seem like the same game. However, as a participant in the Weird Contest, Zheng Zai can see the card pool.
He also knew what such a huge points gap meant.
White card pool, can draw chaos attribute cards. Price 6 points per time.
Of course, if you are lucky, there is a small chance of drawing an order card, a tiny chance of drawing an excellent card, a super low chance of drawing a magic card, and an extremely low chance of drawing a weird god card.
In the blue card pool, you can draw chaos cards or order cards, low-probability excellent cards, super-low-probability magic cards, and extremely low-probability weird cards. The points are 30 points each time.
After seeing this, Zheng Zai basically understood that with his score, the card pool he could choose was at most the blue card pool.
The purple card pool at the back, with 128 points each time, starts with order cards, a small probability of excellent cards, a tiny probability of magic cards, and an extremely low probability of weird cards.
Zheng Zai felt that he was not yet able to squander...
And further on, in the orange card pool, for 648 points at a time, there is a high probability of drawing an excellent card, a small probability of drawing an order card, a small probability of drawing a magic card, and a very low probability of drawing a weird god card.
The probability of drawing strange cards has been upgraded from extremely low to super low, and the probability of drawing good cards has also been greatly increased.
But even that innocent cockroach can only take such a gamble once.
There are also higher levels. The black card pool costs 1888 points. There is a small chance of drawing a strange card, a % chance of drawing a magic card, and a % chance of drawing an excellent card.
This is not something Zheng Zai can hope for.
Zheng Zai even wondered how many times he would have to pass the Weird Contest before he could afford to draw a card like this?
After all, even those monsters seem to be unable to be smoked.
My own sequence, attributes, runes, and props only exchange for three-digit points in total. If I can draw a card from the card pool with four-digit points, the improvement it brings will surely be much greater than my original ability, right?
But it's all too far away.
He still has a huge score gap from the top card pool.
Zheng Zai originally thought that even if it was Brother Wen...he estimated that in the early stage, he could only afford to be beaten a few times?
Turns out he was wrong.
Five hundred and thirty thousand...what an exaggerated number.
Not only can he draw, but he can draw a hundred times without consuming less than half of his points.
"Brother...you, you are really not a human being anymore. You are too perverted, aren't you?" Zheng Zai was very happy.
But because he was too surprised, his joy was obviously suppressed and not very noticeable.
Wen Xishu didn't expect it to be like this.
"My items are much more valuable than my attributes... Of course, I have to admit that I also have a few rather outrageous sequences and runes."
"Now that I think about it, I seem to have quite a lot of treasures. If the game had retained my original abilities, perhaps I wouldn't have such a big advantage, but this game chose to quantify my props and abilities..."
"This actually magnifies my advantage."
Wen Xishu was very calm.
Among Lao Zheng's props, the only impressive one is the Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse Chainsaw, and the sequence... is indeed very useful, but it can only exchange for two or three points.
Wen Xishu thought about it now...some of the items on him were really scary. It just so happened that he chose a flying double-winged throw that could amplify his own attributes.
The result is that my own numbers are supermodel.
He was completely relieved. This was a good thing. This way, he could experience the game in depth. The error tolerance was so high that it was almost impossible to make mistakes.
"Next, it depends on how this weird competition is organized."
"We are actually still at a considerable disadvantage. The events of the Weird Contest are still unclear, so we cannot underestimate our opponents. But what is certain is that our human bodies will definitely put us at a disadvantage in certain aspects."
Yes, although everyone's abilities and props have been scored, for example, the cockroach's powerful body, agile crawling ability... and the van with centipede legs, their natural physical qualities are there.
Those with wings can fly, and those with iron skin can withstand blows. These are advantages that humans do not have.
Zheng Zaiye nodded. He still hadn't recovered from the number of 530,000.
Now, no one seemed to be able to draw cards. In the lounge, everyone stayed in their original positions, as if waiting for something.
Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai, because they are too normal, don't fit in with the environment here. After everyone is no longer curious about why humans come here...
No one paid any attention to them.
The lounge was very lively, with all kinds of strange creatures communicating with each other. Most of them were "rare species" and "normal species".
The innocent cockroach should have reached the threshold of the elite species.
Compared to the elite species and leaders, most of the creatures here are very weak. Wen Xishu was also wondering what kind of competition was this?
It seems... there are no interesting beings to be encountered.
Wen Xishu looked at Zheng Zai:
"Old Zheng, if...if we win this weird competition, but I get a rare sequence or item and you don't, will you be unwilling?"
Zheng Zai shook his head:
"No way, brother. I'd rather climb the tower with you and keep all the rewards. As long as I stay alive, that's all."
Zheng Zai was telling the truth. After all, when climbing the tower with Wen Xishu, he felt that it was mainly dependent on Wen Xishu.
It was the same this time, with just over 200 initial points, fighting against monsters of 700, 800, 800 or 900 points... I was at a huge disadvantage, not to mention the physical gap.
You know, now he has no sequence, and he really can't eat those weird things.
Wen Xishu felt better.
Actually, it stands to reason...
Coincidentally, this effect will allow him to snatch the fruits of his opponent's labor. If he wants to snatch them, then so be it. He shouldn't have any psychological burden.
After all, he was sure that he was the most powerful person in the strange tower.
However, facing Lao Zheng, Wen Xishu still felt guilty and thought that he must help Lao Zheng make a fortune.
Not long after——
All discussions stopped, and all the strange creatures saw a huge booth appearing at Tianyuan's location.
A character wearing a gray suit and an exaggerated big head mask, who was suspected to be the host, appeared on the scene.
It holds a microphone in its hand.
"Wow, this is truly the largest weird competition in recent years. There are nearly a thousand people in this competition area alone."
"Hello, fellow minions, welcome to the Weird Contest! This is the highest-rated show in the Three Towers World!"
"Let me hear your cheers first! Get excited!"
The host pointed the microphone towards the audience, as if the people in the audience were not contestants but fans who came to listen to his concert.
The key point is that all the strange creatures really cooperated and became restless.
The deafening cheers made Wen Xishu feel his eardrums vibrate.
Especially the van with centipede legs, the sound it made was like a vehicle horn, which was extremely harsh.
"Very good, very enthusiastic. I believe that there will be one person, or even more than one, from your region standing on the final award-winning stage."
"You must be eager to achieve a higher level of evolution, and you must be eager to have stronger qualifications! And the Weird Contest is to provide a stage for you to realize your dreams!"
"It's not just the people in the bunker who are qualified to make progress by cheating! You can too, as long as you pass the tests of the Weird Contest and win in the end! Then congratulations, from now on you will no longer be cannon fodder in the Three Towers War, you will become an important existence!"
"Of course, if you perform well enough, you will not only become an elite, you will even become a leader! At that time, the door to domination will no longer be closed!"
After listening to this, Wen Xishu roughly understood that this was probably an opportunity for the huge group of normal and rare species in the Three Towers World.
There are even a few elites among them.
These monsters, who were originally slaughtered by various forces in the Three Towers World, have a huge obsession with the desire to become stronger and evolve... They have built a special world of obsession -
Weird contest.
Ironically, the host mentioned that bunker people can improve by climbing towers, and Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai, who are bunker people, are...
He actually sneaked into the weird competition.
At this time, Wen Xishu remembered... Only Lao Zheng was qualified to come in. Because Lao Zheng's guide said that Lao Zheng's strange way of killing people made the mechanism mistakenly think that Lao Zheng was a monster.
Lao Zheng likes to solve problems by eating, and this special way has led to him being judged as a non-human.
This led to Lao Zheng receiving the admission ticket to the weird competition.
The key is that it’s a fucking double portion.
Wen Xishu was a little happy. If he won... as a human, would he also gain the qualifications to become an elite leader?
No matter what, Wen Xishu was very interested in this competition.
Coincidentally, Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai are also about to face their first round of challenges.
"Although everyone has a bright future, our elimination round is very cruel. Are you ready? The first round is a ten-mirror penalty. There are nearly a thousand people in this division, and the same is true for other divisions."
"And the one thousand of you will be divided into ten groups. Each group will have one hundred people."
The host laughed weirdly:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. In the first round, 90 percent of the people will be eliminated. Only about ten people will survive from each group."
"But everyone, you can all draw cards. The cards you draw might help you survive the first elimination round, even if you made the wrong choice."
"Well, next, the first round of the competition is about to begin. Everyone has three minutes to draw a card."
A huge 180-second countdown appeared above the host's head.
At the same time, Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai discovered that red dividing lines began to appear around them.
These dividing lines, also called boundary lines, suddenly appeared and divided the hall into ten areas.
Zheng Zai was sweating coldly:
"The first round... is a life-or-death situation. It means that only one person out of ten can survive. Fortunately, brother, you and I are in the same area and are not separated by the border line."
Wen Xishu thought about it and decided that he had to stay with Zheng Zai all the time, in case Zheng was assigned to another area and he would be unable to protect him.
As the dividing line formed ten areas, the scene began to change.
Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai both saw ten huge square mirrors appear in the sky.
They could no longer see what was happening in other areas. Only in their own area, ten mirrors appeared in the sky.
Wen Xishu looked at the mirror and felt extremely strange. He could not see anyone else in the mirror. He could only see himself, which was fully reflected in the mirror and made him into a square.
At the same time, all the exhibition stands disappeared, and in their place, coffins appeared one after another.
The scene seemed eerie.
There were a hundred people in the area where Wen Xishu was, so a hundred coffins appeared.
The coffin is large enough to accommodate some beings of special sizes.
There are one hundred coffins, each numbered from 01 to 100.
The host said:
"From one to ten. Ladies and gentlemen, in the first round of the challenge, the Ten Mirror Penalty is about to appear. There are strange creatures hidden in the mirrors. They come from another world..."
"They'll take your lives, isn't that interesting?"
"But there are only ten coffins with special numbers that can allow you to resist the punishment of ten mirrors. Pick your lucky number. Haha, I wish you good luck."
The host disappeared.
There are ninety-five seconds left in the countdown to one hundred and eighty seconds.
Zheng Zai panicked, he chose the blue card pool, the card pool of 30 points, and drew two cards. He didn't dare to draw too much, because there were many challenges to come.
He was worried that he would run out of money now and would have to watch helplessly later.
So he only drew two cards, spending 60 points. He was heartbroken, but even more panicked, because both cards... were Chaos Cards.
The worst card, the so-called chaos, is a card that may even bring negative effects.
For example, the card Zheng Zai drew was "Silent Marathon".
【Card name: Silent Marathon.】
【Level: Chaos Card. 】
[Effect: You will be unable to speak, but your running speed will be doubled. ]
For the first level, the penalty of ten mirrors is completely meaningless.
Zheng Zai had four card slots in total, and he did not equip this card immediately. Instead, he looked at the second card.
[Card Name: Good Deeds Will Be Rewarded]
[Level: Chaos Card]
[Effect: If you are evil enough, you will be lucky enough. If you are kind enough, bad luck will entangle you.]
Two waste cards.
Sixty points, just gone like that!
Zheng Zai was about to despair. At this time, Zheng Zai got a hint -
[It is detected that you have no extra cards, and there are cards left in the card slot, so the cards that have been drawn will be loaded forcibly. 】
He can't speak anymore.
Because of the effect of the silent marathon, Zheng Zai was completely panicked, and he began to gesture with his hands, trying to let Wen Xishu know that he was in a bad situation.
He didn't know which coffin number to choose. If he chose based on luck... he had no luck at all now.
Zheng now realized that nothing would be easy in the Ghost Tower.
But then, Zheng Zai soon discovered that he could speak.
“Fuck, Brother Wen… I just realized I can’t speak anymore. I’m so anxious. What… what on earth happened?”
"It's okay, Lao Zheng. I now have four magic cards in my card slot. I guess there will be a way to expand the card slot later. Oh, and one of the magic cards is called the Great Healer, which can make teammates immune to the negative effects of cards."
Zheng Zai said in surprise:
"Amazing! Bro, you are simply amazing!"
Wen Xishu smiled faintly.
As long as the points are high enough, what cards can't be drawn? He even sacrificed a bunch of cards. Wen Xishu started by drawing ten times from the top card pool, and then got a prompt that the cards were over the limit, and he could choose to sacrifice cards to increase the chance of getting good cards next time.
This plan is quite conscientious.
In short, Wen Xishu only spent 40,000 points and already had four pieces of divine equipment.
One of the cards directly made Lao Zheng immune to negative attributes.
And there is another card that allows Wen Xishu to directly find a scapegoat.
In other words, in this round, Wen Xishu can choose someone to die for him.
No matter which coffin he chooses from these one hundred coffins, he can survive the punishment of ten mirrors.
【Card: Disaster Transfer. Consumable.】
【Level: Weird God Card.】
[Effect: You will not receive any damage this round, but in return, you will designate one person to bear all the damage you receive until the end of this round.]
This is a strange card, the power of which is so strong that it can almost directly affect the outcome of the battle.
Normally, Wen Xishu needs to keep passing levels and accumulating points before he can get one in the finals.
But now, still in the elimination audition stage... he has all four pieces of equipment.
"No skills are needed. I can win this level just by numbers... but I want to try."
Theoretically, you don't need to play decryption, you can just fight hard.
But Wen Xishu was also very curious whether he could try to pass the level without using any magical equipment.
There are twenty-five seconds left in the countdown.
From one to ten...
This was the only clue given by the host. It looked like a puzzle. Wen Xishu also saw that the coffins numbered one to ten had been occupied by various strange creatures.
After all, literally speaking, it seems that one to ten are lucky numbers, and if you hide in these ten numbered coffins, you can survive.
But Wen Xishu thought not.
He looked at the ten mirrors in the sky and smiled. At this moment, there were only nineteen seconds left. Zheng Zai was anxious:
"Brother, time is running out!"
Wen Xishu said:
"Okay, I think I should have found the answer."
