Chapter 251 We are all living hard
Chapter 251 We are all living hard
The weird competition is not a very difficult thing in essence.
Its opponents are only at the elite level, and the difficulty of decrypting them is not great.
This place itself is the dragon gate for the small fry.
Logically speaking, the humans who can come here wouldn’t be too strong.
The host's brain froze when he suddenly heard the question raised by Wen Xishu.
Then it laughed and said:
"It's theoretically possible, but it won't work like that. The Demon King is very powerful. Hahahaha, but I really like this sense of humor."
"In an asymmetric competition, the hero's ability is very weak. We must gather all the heroes and work together to defeat the Demon King."
"One hero fighting a group of demon kings? Impossible."
"Of course, the Demon King is also challenging, and even if the Demon King wins... he won't have any advantage. To get the points, you still have to be a brave warrior."
"Defeat the Demon King, or survive the Demon King... both have high points that can be divided equally. The former will be a lot."
“Ultimately, the points will be used to determine the qualification ranking, which will further determine the awards received.”
Wen Xishu nodded. He couldn't control things related to probability. Although the Crazy Dice also had the ability to determine probability, he didn't get that number this time.
Wen Xishu said:
"Okay, so how many rounds do we need?"
The host laughed:
"We will eventually decide on the ten lucky ones who survive to the end. If the number is less than ten, the competition will come to the final round."
Wen Xishu understood that as long as the number of survivors could be controlled within ten, for example, only himself and Lao Zheng were left, then the game could end early.
It’s a really nice setting.
If there are endless challenging projects later, it will also make Wen Xishu feel troubled.
He no longer spoke to the host, but went to other places with Zheng to observe this area, while waiting for people from other areas to come out of the second round of the competition.
"Brother... do you really want to challenge multiple demon kings as a hero?" Zheng Zai heard it.
Wen Xishu nodded and then shook his head:
"That's the plan, but the other party probably can't do it. I don't know the intention of this person for now, but if we are not classified as Demon Kings next, but become heroes..."
"That means that the official attitude of the Weird Contest is somewhat malicious towards us humans."
Zheng Zai was puzzled: "I don't understand."
Wen Xishu said:
"The host's explanation of the rules was biased. He mentioned the Demon King and the Hero, but his words tended to make us play the role of the Hero."
Zheng Zai said:
"The hero has a lot of points. Brother, you are going to play the hero too, right?"
Wen Xishu said:
“Yes, I do intend to play the role of someone who can get high points, but Lao Zheng, its tendency is to trick us.”
"Look at the second round. A group of rare species faced the elite trees, but they were eventually divided because of their cowardice..."
"The heroes must work together to defeat the demon king. They can't even work together when facing a tree that they could have defeated. How can you expect them to work together when facing a demon king that is difficult to defeat?"
"Did you pay attention to what the host said? There are two ways to determine the game. One is to survive the Demon King. In other words, before the time runs out, you win as long as you don't kill the Demon King and only survive yourself."
"Also, if you kill the Demon King, you will get extra points - divided equally. The point I'm talking about is divided equally."
Wen Xishu smiled and looked at Zheng Zai. He immediately threw out the conclusion:
"If I'm not here, then the key to winning the third round will be a matter of luck. Whoever draws the Demon King will win."
Zheng Zai figured it out, and it was true. There is an old saying that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.
The average distribution seems to be fair, but in the game, the average distribution is often uneven.
You get the MVP, you have 28-0-0, your teammates have 0-28-0, you are always the C, and your teammates are always giving away.
In the end, you won, except for the settlement interface, which showed that you were in C, dealt tons of damage, and turned the tide... but in the end, you got the same score.
Do you think it's even?
Dozens of brave men, each trying their best, never lying down, all selflessly devoting themselves to the devil...is it possible?
Zheng Zai suddenly felt terrible.
It's too miserable to draw a brave one.
But Wen Xishu patted Zheng Zai on the shoulder:
"Don't be afraid, we will win."
……
……
Time passed slowly, and it was not until five hours later that more than thirty people from the second zone came out.
Another hour later, about a hundred people appeared in the fourth competition area.
Then half an hour later, there were over 300 people in the third competition area.
After waiting for half a day, Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai are finally about to face the third round.
The lounge finally became lively again.
The host's excited voice appeared again:
"Congratulations everyone. Some of you have already earned a lot of points in the last round. You are very close to becoming the lucky winner of the Weird Contest."
"Next, you will start drawing lots. The method of drawing lots is the same as when you draw cards."
"I wish that you all can become a brave warrior who can overcome all obstacles. After defeating the Demon King, you can stand on the stage of becoming a strong man and receive honors."
"The third round of competition is called Brave Fighting Demon King."
Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai had actually heard the rules, but apparently, the host made a small change to the rules in order to prevent "humans" from appearing on the stage again.
All survivors will be unified into one competition area.
In other words, a total of 450 people will participate in "The Brave Fights the Demon King" together.
The larger the cardinality, the greater the likelihood of rare probability events occurring.
Wen Xishu did not draw the lot immediately, but drew the card first.
This time, he still retained the magic card that could exempt teammates from negative attributes, and Wen Xishu replaced the remaining five card slots with combat and killing type magic cards.
This also consumed a lot of Wen Xishu's points, and he finally had only 24 points left.
The main reason was that Wen Xishu had basically seen all types of cards, so he didn't continue to waste cards.
Zheng Zaiting wanted to ask about Wen Xishu's six-piece equipment configuration, but Wen Xishu just smiled and said:
"It's a secret, but you can rest assured that my card slot is full of good cards."
"Unlike you, I have seen all the cards and know how to combine them to maximize the benefits."
"But you guys, basically you can't even pull ten in a row, so just use whatever you have and don't be picky."
This is the confidence behind the 530,000 yuan, and Zheng is convinced.
His luck in this round was not bad. With more than a thousand points, Zheng Zai went all in twice in the orange card pool with 648 points.
There were no god cards, but I did draw an excellent card and a magic card.
【Card name: Death Scarecrow. 】
【Level: Magical power.】
[Effect: The next three fatal injuries will leave a scarecrow with the same attributes as you, and you will be transferred to a relatively safe space and receive a certain degree of healing.]
【Card Name: King Kong】
【Level: Excellent. 】
[Effect: Your overall defense ability will be greatly improved. ]
As of now, Zheng Zai’s card pool has the following cards.
Magic card, malicious random, death scarecrow.
Excellent card: King Kong.
Order Card: Helps with Qi and Blood, Helps with Speed. Chaos Card: Silent Marathon, Good deeds will be rewarded.
Zheng Zai finally discarded the card "Good Evil Will Be Rewarded", and all the six cards in the card pool were loaded.
no doubt……
His attributes are pretty good. Defense, health, and speed are all pretty good. He also has three chances of avoiding death and the ability to randomly transfer hatred.
But with this configuration, there is no chance of winning the challenge against the Demon King.
After the card drawing session, Zheng Zai and Wen Xishu started drawing lots.
There is no doubt that they are brave.
It is worth mentioning that heroes have both shortcomings and advantages.
The hero of Wen Xishu is called the Sword Hero, or Sword Hero for short.
Zheng Zai's hero is called the Shield Hero, or Shield Hero for short.
The advantages of the Sword Warrior: fast attack speed, holding a sword will unlock certain sword skills, and there is a 15% chance of triggering a combo attack when attacking with a sword.
Jian Yong's shortcomings are described as follows:
"You are a taciturn swordsman. People hate the fact that you speak obscure words like 'Hasagai' that they can't understand. Over time, no one wants to communicate with you."
"Speech expression ability -4. Effect of inexpressibility +3. Ability to arouse emotions with words -2."
Wen Xishu was delighted when he saw this.
Fortunately, the game hasn't started yet.
Wen Xishu said:
"Not only did they give us heroes, but they also destroyed my biggest advantage in talking... They have such great malice towards humans."
"I don't quite believe this is a coincidence. I feel like... we're being targeted, Lao Zheng."
Zheng Zai was not feeling well either. If Brother Wen’s language ability was weakened... then how could he command others?
How can we unite?
Zheng Zai's shortcoming is called "aggressive appearance".
Simply put, his Shield Hero looks too ferocious, which naturally makes his teammates distrust him.
Wen Xishu thought it was amazing.
One is not trusted, the other has no eloquence. With these shortcomings, how can they expect to cooperate seamlessly?
You don't even want to act anymore, are you really here to kill people?
"After entering the game, it may be difficult for me to express myself. Anyway, Lao Zheng, just follow me and kill all the way."
"In the first two games, I wanted to use my brain, but now I don't need to. I just want to stretch my muscles."
Zheng Zai nodded vigorously:
"I'll listen to you!"
Their thoughts were soon interrupted because of the bad news.
All the warriors looked ashen.
Because among the four hundred and fifty people... there are actually twenty-three demon kings.
In other words, even the minimum configuration of thirty warriors against one demon king could not be achieved.
Moreover, the difficulty of 30 warriors cooperating with each other is already exaggerated.
Not to mention the tacit cooperation of more than 400 heroes.
For a moment, the morale of the brave camp dropped to freezing point.
At this time, a rare species that retained the outline of a human but was covered with spikes sighed:
"My parents... and my eldest brother, they died for me. I must live, even if I have to eat the flesh and blood of my own kind."
"In that cruel apocalypse, I will keep eating people! Eat people! Become the best of the best!"
"But I couldn't do it. I never attacked them. I just hid, thinking about eating some corpses. I gnawed on the carrion all the way and evolved into a rare species."
"I also received an invitation and had a chance to make the leap, but I didn't expect... this would actually be an invitation to die."
It muttered there.
But because Wen Xishu at this time was blessed with a special magic card, his five senses were very powerful.
Wen Xishu actually doesn't care much about these cannon fodders.
This is how the world is, the strong devour the weak. No matter how miserable the weak have been in the past, if they don't have that kind of luck, there is nothing that can be done about it.
But he suddenly found it interesting.
"No... I have to survive, I have to survive! If I think about it carefully, I must have a way!"
"I can see the pattern of the last round, so I can definitely survive this round with my brain!"
"To kill the Demon King... this option with the highest score is unlikely. But the host said that as long as we survive, it will be fine!"
"Also, we must find a way to create conflicts between the demon kings."
"The host said that in the end, ten people survived..."
"But there are twenty-three demon kings."
"As long as we can make the Demon King realize that the real enemy is not the hero, but other Demon Kings..."
"Then, as a brave man, you may survive."
Wen Xishu was slightly surprised. In fact, when he heard the number of demon kings, he had also thought of doing this.
But his "eloquence" has been greatly weakened, and it is very likely that he will not be able to do such a thing after the game starts.
And he really didn't expect that there was someone who could think of the same thing as him.
Wen Xishu began to look at this rare species carefully.
Zheng Zai followed Wen Xishu's gaze and found that the other party was just an ordinary rare species.
It is covered with rock-gray spikes and looks like a second-round statue.
In fact, in the second round, this rare species pretended to be a statue so that he could slowly observe the patterns.
"Brother, is there anything special about this guy? He caught your attention." Zheng Zai asked.
Wen Xishu said:
"Old Zheng, if you run into this guy after the game starts, you can be my mouthpiece and ask him his name for me. I want him to survive."
Zheng Zai was somewhat surprised:
"Is he special?"
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"People with brains are always worth cultivating. This weird competition is a stage for the small fish to leap over the dragon gate."
"But it's also possible that this is a place where some powerful people screen talents. If I come across a talented person, I don't mind snatching him away."
Zheng Zai was interested to hear Wen Xishu say this.
"He has thought of a correct entry point that can help him survive. It's very good. The difference between rare species and elite species and the leader and dominant levels is not only in strength, but also in brains."
“I’m very optimistic about this guy.”
Zheng asked:
"So... bro, you heard how he dealt with those demon kings? Are you planning on outwitting him this time?"
Wen Xishu shook his head very seriously:
"No, I said, I'm going to slaughter everyone in this round. I need to shock the host a little bit so that he can reveal the secrets behind the scenes."
"I plan to brute force my way through the game, not using the mechanics. The first two rounds are actually OK, but I want to try to use my skills to clear the game."
"But I'm tired of playing around. Everyone is trying their best to live their lives, so I should try my best too, right?"
