Chapter 026: The Ultimate Challenger
Although the image in his mind had not yet been displayed, Qin Shi was already able to tell that the image that appeared in his consciousness was a three-dimensional map of Sunset City.
Qin Shi also found at this time that the more progress on the light screen, the more refined the images in his consciousness became. Millions of lines, criss-crossed and criss-crossed, eventually form a concrete image.
"Uh......"
As Qin Shi contemplated the details in the image, he felt his brain twitch to the ground, and almost at the same time, the feeling of hunger instantly filled him, making his legs weak and his hands trembling slightly.
Almost at the same time, Qin Shi found that the image in the depths of his consciousness began to dim from a distance, and gradually disappeared into nothingness. Fortunately, he has a good memory, and can roughly remember the general pattern of some areas.
While forcing himself to remember more images, Qin Shi reached into the worn-out backpack behind him with one hand, took out an oiled paper bag, hurriedly peeled off the curtain, and swallowed a piece of meat into his stomach.
Picking up the kettle again, he poured himself a few sips of the nutrient solution provided by Yin Sa's team, which suppressed his physical and mental hunger.
This feeling of hunger made Qin Shi feel bad.
Living in an environment like the ancient continent of Egypt, hunger is something that most people experience. Hunger and starvation are also the most common things for Qin Shi.
So Qin Shi, who is used to starving, will not have a big problem if he doesn't eat for three or five days, he even got lost in the wasteland once, and even starved for nearly ten days, relying only on a little drinking water to survive, but at that time, he was so hungry that he almost wanted to put the stone in his mouth and chew it, and he didn't have the strong hunger just now, that feeling, as if all the energy in his body was instantly consumed.
"Hoo ......"
Qin Shi exhaled heavily. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, trying to keep his thoughts under control. There was no definite return date for the procession, and the food they were carrying was extremely limited, and it would never be a good thing to consume the food cleanly.
After the hunger pang was relieved, Qin Shi noticed. The number on the light screen on the retina has reached "10%". It seemed that at the moment when Qin Shi's physical energy was exhausted, the change in numbers had accelerated.
"Could it be that it is draining my strength?"
Qin Shi thought secretly in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he became more and more sure of his thoughts. It's just that it's hard for him to guess what will happen after the so-called system update.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Qin Shi felt a violent tremor under his feet, and the people and things in the vision of the entire ancient city were in a crooked appearance.
"The ancient city is about to collapse?!"
Qin Shi thought of such a thought in his heart.
"Don't panic!"
Yin Sa stood at the front of the team, drew his heavy sword in one hand, and held himself in a hurry.
She had already noticed that although the castle was trembling, there was no sign of collapse, not even a trace of smoke and dust, which was probably just one of the normal visions of the castle.
Sure enough, at this moment, a voice sounded in everyone's hearts, "The entrance time of the Predatory City is over, and all the living people in the city will automatically become assessment contestants, and they will accept the 72-hour assessment and trial of the Predatory City." ”
"What?!" Everyone looked at each other, and this time, even the guards around Sophia couldn't keep their composure. In their cognition, only the legendary powerhouse has the ability to use secret methods to enter the sound and send the voice into the consciousness of others.
"This assessment adopts a point system, and those who complete the designated tasks can get a certain number of points, and the maximum number of points is twelve, and they will be rewarded, and the losers will be punished with the most severe punishment......"
"The following are a number of rules that participants must follow, otherwise they will be disqualified and judged a loser......"
“……”
Rules and regulations appear in the depths of everyone's consciousness, and after they appear, they are deeply imprinted in the depths of everyone's consciousness and cannot be forgotten.
"It's just an illusion......"
Yin Sa patted his head vigorously and expressed doubt. However, when she realized that everyone had received the information she thought was a hallucination, the thought vanished.
And the most important point is that Yin Sa found that in her mind, there seemed to be a timer that began to calculate the time.
"Not a hallucination......"
Sophia didn't seem to realize that the atmosphere was wrong, but she seemed even more elated, she clapped her little hands and said, "Sister Yin, don't worry, in this competition, we still have an advantage!" ”
Yin Sa's eyes lit up, but soon his expression became more solemn.
The rules indicate that the candidates who enter this place with the secret realm key are included in the ranks of seeded players, have certain permissions, and can get some help, not to mention, before the assessment task begins, these guys who are listed as seeded players have all got 10 points.
And judging from the variety of things I have seen, nearly 30 regulations and rules for obtaining points, it is not easy to get 1 point.
"-110 points ......"
Qin Shi suddenly noticed that a line of red numbers appeared on the light screen in his eyes, and this line of numbers stabbed his heart bloodily.
"What's going on?!"
Qin Shi almost yelled. He also has a key on him, and if there is no accident, he will have the same 10 bonus points as Yin Sa and Sophia.
But in fact, not only did he not have this preferential treatment, but he also gave him an unacceptable negative number.
"According to your personal wishes, as the challenger with the highest authority to challenge the Predatory City, you enjoy an exclusive name, as the ultimate challenger, according to the regulations, open the Purgatory difficulty level challenge system for you, and to open this system, you need to consume 17% of the energy of the Predatory City, so 110 points will be deducted......"
"When did I become a challenger with the highest authority?!"
Qin Shi almost fainted. He didn't do anything, why did such an inexplicable and terrifying thing happen to him?!
"Determine ...... based on the system"
"Isn't it my personal will?"
Qin Shi keenly grasped the voice that appeared in his mind, and the content of the exposition changed. The logic between the two is not right!
"It's also your personal ......"
As this voice sounded, Qin Shi found that the light screen in his eyes began to flash a lot of words. The words are all ancient characters, and Qin Shi's cognitive level has not reached this level, and he can read them without barriers.
However, when he saw these words, the meaning of them naturally appeared in his heart, and there was no obstacle to interpretation.
In the complicated and varied rules of extension, Qin Shi finally discovered the reason why he was regarded as the so-called ultimate challenger.
The home planet on his body, which is actually the core control of the Prey City, was taken out of the Prey City countless years ago, so the Prey City is no longer controlled and has become a ghost city.
The people who took away the home planet also established rules and permissions for the predatory city, maintained the castle's self-survival, and opened up some permissions. One of the twelve keys to the ancient city is one of them. Hold one of the keys to come to the test, and once you succeed, you can get the gift of the Predatory City, and even have some access to the Predatory City.
And once the person who holds the home planet enters this place, he is regarded as a challenger with the highest authority, and once he succeeds, he is the master of the predatory city. If it fails, it means that this self-aware ancient city will take back its core authority and become a free city completely!
Qin Shi didn't know that after Old Kenan gave him his home planet, he was the quasi-master of this predatory city, and he was the challenger of the ultimate authority!
