Chapter 327 'Promotion Ceremony' Battle for the Domain King
That's right, 80 candidates were eliminated in the first pass, and 95 of the remaining 20 candidates were eliminated in the second pass. The number of remaining winners accounted for exactly 1 of the total candidates.
Only those who become the top 1 are qualified to face the "Beast King" in the third level!
Others, if they are not confident enough in their own strength and are lucky enough to pass the level, can choose to quit midway.
Exiting midway will not result in settlement, but it can preserve the number of super-material crystals to the maximum extent and avoid the "doubling of bets" in the promotion ceremony, which will cause the card holder to lose everything.
Jiang Qian habitually observed and calculated the game rules of this promotion ceremony and determined his intention:
"continue."
…
As Jiang Qian finished speaking, additional rules based on the 95 elimination rate were displayed:
Tip: At this stage, every time a candidate completes "three" hunting quotas, the candidate will be qualified to apply for foreign aid "once" and twice capped. This qualification can only be used in the "War of the Beast King" stage.]
Then, the promotion ceremony jumps to the selection of props for the domain king to compete for:
Please select six items from the personal items and put them in the temporary storage slot as auxiliary equipment for the "Promotion Ceremony" battle for the domain king.]
Note: Priest props are prohibited from being used at this stage.】
This level has relaxed the quantity of props, but the quality of the props is still strictly controlled below the level of clergy props.
Jiang Qian carefully selected six props and put them in the filter box.
They are: Exploration Notes, Beidou Button Camera 4/7, Invisibility Cloak, Chivalrous Cloak, Pen, and True Spirit Spider Web Replica.
The limited resources are still concentrated on strong investigation, strong defense, and strong offensive props.
This choice was also planned in advance.
At this stage, Jiang Qian has to face the situation of survival of the fittest in the same dungeon environment where all the card kings who have passed levels in adjacent categories are gathered together.
The quality of the candidates has been significantly improved compared to the first level. Coupled with the "foreign aid qualification" method mentioned in the additional rules, the battle for the domain king will obviously advance faster than the card king stage.
In order to adapt to the rules, Jiang Qian's strategy has also been adjusted.
In the previous level, Jiang Qian's strategy was to "lie down".
Save resources as much as possible, avoid consumption, and don't waste lives in meaningless conflicts.
He practiced it very well. Not only did he not consume himself, he also collected a lot of information about players with similar identity cards through the detection props.
Including dealing with the conflict between the Crown Prince of the Holy Mountain, we also adhered to the core idea of energy saving and low consumption, took advantage of the situation, and obtained the desired information from the three Holy Mountain license holders with minimal consumption.
In this level, the battle for the domain king, Jiang Qian's strategy is "hide".
The two seem to have similar meanings, but they emphasize completely different purposes.
"Lying" means doing nothing, hiding oneself away from the fight in order to reduce losses.
The purpose of "hiding" is to act quietly.
First give up the stage and enjoy other people's performances; wait for those assassins who may exist who are targeting him to take the initiative to reveal their flaws.
When the opportunity arises, Jiang Qian will take the initiative to carry out his "warm-up exercise" before facing the King of Beasts, and he will definitely get the qualification to apply for foreign aid twice before the elimination rate approaches the threshold.
The actual words of the instructors at the training camp were: "Without enough killing and sacrifice, the powerful beast king cannot be suppressed."
Hiding is to find the most suitable sacrifice to sacrifice to his beast king.
…
Jiang Qian's vision gradually became clearer.
He found that he was in a dark and damp cave...
It was still the first time to put on the chivalrous cloak and invisibility cloak, and at the same time turn on his spiritual vision to examine the surrounding environment.
At this sight, Jiang Qian's movements stopped.
At this time, the invisibility cloak was wrapped around him, and his figure had disappeared in the darkness.
However, at this moment, a flat and smooth head was quietly protruding from behind Jiang Qian.
A giant copper-patterned python with the thickness of a bucket was spitting out a letter and slowly approached Jiang Qian. The long and narrow letter had already passed over Jiang Qian's head and entered the range of his naked eyes.
At the same time, a strange fishy smell triggered the sense of smell...
Not a player... Jiang Qian quickly made a judgment:
This place is a snake den, and the "owner" has discovered him.
Snakes rely on their tongues to capture information from the outside world. Although the invisibility cloak can block the dispersion of information such as smells, the python must have discovered clues during the process of wearing clothes.
Jiang Qian turned around and looked at a nest of baby pythons hidden deep in the cave.
Just then, Snake Xin came over again.
He turned slightly to avoid the snake letter, and then retreated step by step towards the entrance of the cave.
In the darkness, the python's eyes were as bright as two luminous pearls, always staring in the direction of Jiang Qian's movement, but it stood still and did not attack rashly.
Perhaps because they were members of the same genus in a super-species sense, Jiang Qian found that the way the other person looked at him was completely devoid of the ferocity and coldness that such a large predator should have. Instead, it revealed his nervousness and fear towards Jiang Qian.
It's like a manifestation of instinctive intuition: the sense of worry that a predator displays when encountering a more powerful predator higher up the food chain.
Jiang Qian retreated to the entrance of the cave.
At this time, he was wearing the double barrier of invisibility cloak and chivalrous cloak.
After visually confirming that there were no traces of other players' activities in the surrounding area, he decisively left the snake's nest.
His prey is outside.
It's bright outside.
At the same time, Jiang Qian received the initial data of the "Battle of Domain Kings":
Initial number of candidates: 279]
Current elimination rate: 0】
Regarding this set of data, Jiang Qian had a fleeting question: 279 people?
Is this quantity too much?
In the card king stage, there are a total of 31 snake candidates. Based on the elimination rate of 80, about 6 people will enter the battle for domain king.
Although there are variables in the number of candidates for each category participating in the promotion ceremony.
But compared to the data of only 6 people in the Snake genus who have advanced, if the adjacent genus is added together, a population of thirty to fifty people is considered to be prosperous.
The number 279 is outrageous...
However, Jiang Qian is not entangled in this matter. The current amount of observations is limited and not enough to make a judgment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He released the Beidou button camera and first observed the environment and opportunities in the nearby area from a broader perspective.
The Beidou button camera is completely invisible during the day and is more flexible to use during the day than at night.
The immediate environment is a swamp.
It is not the pure natural environment of the virgin forest in the first level. This swamp is close to a fishing village.
On the other side of the fishing village is the sea, and there are obvious traces of human activities in the fishing village.
Viewed from the perspective of the Beidou button camera, the entire fishing village does not occupy a large area, with only two to three hundred households, and the village has initially achieved modernization.
In the field of vision, characteristic buildings unique to the life of fishermen are arranged row after row. Each house has its own unique door and furnishings. Every house has its doors open, giving a strong atmosphere of life.
At this time, fishing boats in the village were going out to sea one after another, and most of the people in the village were the old, weak, women and children.
The second stage of the powerful promotion ceremony is actually set in a modern background with the participation of ordinary humans... This is something Jiang Qian did not expect.
He thought that this kind of dungeon would at least match a simpler environment to facilitate survival competition among players.
But no, right now it is an ordinary human activity area that is no different from the real world.
The only difference is probably that there are no rule restrictions from the dungeon perspective, nor are there any lawful official regulations, management, and deterrents for super-species players...
A virgin land of complete freedom.
When Jiang Qian realized this, he also predicted the "storm" that this small fishing village, which currently seemed quiet and peaceful, was about to face.
Hundreds of ordinary families face 279 super-species evolvers...
how to say?
Full of endless possibilities.
No, it's not just the hundreds of households in the village. Once someone calls the police, the local public security organs will be alerted, and the matter will get bigger and bigger. This will definitely affect the progress of the battle for the domain king.
Fortunately, the humans here are all NPCs arranged by the super-species world. Let's think so... After roughly observing the overall surrounding environment, Jiang Qian had a plan in mind.
He spread his wings and left the swamp, heading towards the fishing village.
