Chapter 41: The Knockout Tournament Begins
[The Black Tower test version is over, and the official version is online!] γ
Hearing the movement, everyone around them stopped moving and stood in place.
Wen Ruo turned off the car that had been started, and listened to the announcement of the sudden appearance of the black tower with Xu Qi;
The Southern District, the Central South Base, is preparing for a week after all the high-level leaders of the Southern District Association stopped to discuss;
Everyone in the North, East, West, and Central districts heard the notice from the Black Tower and put down their movements.
The nine-story black tower flickered, and at the top appeared a pink rabbit in a suit, standing on its hind legs, looking at the pocket watch in its hand.
"Is it it?" Wen Ruo looked up and saw the rabbit and recognized it as the gentleman rabbit he had seen on the first day of the battle between the Red and White Queens.
The gentleman rabbit put the pocket watch back in his breast pocket, looked condescendingly, looked around, and said:
[The official version is adjusted as follows:
1. The knockout round opens
2. The difficulty of the dungeon has been increased
3. The ranking list is opened
Official version online time: one week later]
After saying these few things, the gentleman rabbit took out his pocket watch again and looked at it, his face was expressionless, and his figure gradually disappeared.
[Hahahahaha]
A strange tone, sharp and full of crazy laughter penetrated everyone's eardrums, and Wen Ruo rubbed his ears uncomfortably.
[You've all heard the words of the rabbit, so I'll explain the specific rules to you]
Also appearing at the top of the Black Tower, is a figure dressed as a circus clown, with a scarlet smiling face, grinning lips, and a body shape like a child, only about 1.5 meters.
This height reminded Wen Ruo of the judge in his first copy, Fang Yi, but he had already been eliminated in that copy.
[To Dear Human Gamers,
This is an invitation to all human players.
Death and reward, betrayal and suspicion, entertainment and excitement, this is an evolutionary path that we have given to the human race on earth.
However, since the start of the dungeon game, do you feel that there is something missing in this game?
That's the stimulus, more, the bigger stimulus. γ
The clown exaggeratedly spread his arms and fell backwards, as if he had not stood firmly, swaying, one leg had broken away from the top of the Black Tower.
Everyone's eyes looked at the clown who was about to fall, and Wen Ruo saw from the car that someone nearby had begun to take a deep breath.
[Hahahahaha, do you think I'm going to fall? γ
The clown laughed maniacally as he retracted his legs and stood.
[Humans really let us down!
You don't always want to participate in games, but that's not a good habit. γ
The clown's tone was suddenly fierce, and his eyes turned to everyone below. Wen Ruo saw the clown's green eyes lingering on him for a moment, as if it was just his own illusion.
[The game we worked so hard to prepare, but there were many people who didn't participate! Is the game not fun enough? γ
Holding his hair with both hands, the clown looked tangled and innocent, like a child whose work has not been approved by his parents.
Speaking of the back, the clown paused, and his tone became eerie.
[Or, do you look down on me? γ
γOh!
I seem to be off topic, what am I going to tell you? γ
The Joker digs around himself and finally pulls a card out of his jacket pocket.
[Oh, I see! It's a knockout hahahahaha! γ
[All those who clear the first floor of the Black Tower will receive an identity card as an invitation card for the knockout, so what should those who do not receive the invitation card? γ
The clown pointed his finger at his head, seemingly troubled, and suddenly, the index finger and middle finger of his hand pointing at the head were raised, and the thumb was erected
γBangγ
[Of course it's to die!] γ
The clown's words fell, and a card appeared in front of Wen Ruo and Xu Qi, exuding a misty light.
Wen Ruo looked out of the car, many people had cards in front of them, but there were also people who didn't have cards in front of them, it should be said by the clown, and there were no people who passed through the first floor of the Black Tower.
Wen Ruo reached out and picked up the card in front of him, the touch was very delicate and smooth, and the edges were also very sharp.
Seeing that there were no cards in front of him, combined with the words of the Joker, those who did not clear the first floor of the Black Tower began to commotion, and they would die just because of this?
The clown's voice continues:
[However, if you can have an invitation card before the official version goes live, you won't die.]
Whether you're trying to beat the first floor of the Black Tower, or something else, as long as you have one, you're good to go! γ
The clown said meaningfully, and before he could continue to say something, the meticulous voice of the gentleman rabbit came from before:
[Don't waste time. γ
γOkay.γ γ
The clown grinned again, took off his magic hat from his head, and saluted everyone.
[The rest of the rules can be understood through the invitation card!] γ
[Looking forward to seeing you in a week!] γ
After saying the last sentence, the figure of the clown also disappeared to the top of the black tower, leaving only everyone with abnormal faces.
"Boom"
Wen Ruo casually stuffed the invitation card into his pocket, started, accelerated, turned, and became fluent in driving skills.
In this area, everyone who was thinking silently because of the clown's words had to come back to their senses and avoid Wen Ruo's car.
"You don't know how to drive!"
"There's someone here, don't you see?"
The person who was almost touched by Wen Ruo inevitably spoke out angrily.
Wen Ruo didn't react, he was very confident in his driving skills, but Xu Qi touched the tip of his nose and looked at the people around him with a little guilt.
"When I stopped here, there weren't that many people around." Xu Qi whispered.
"It's okay, no matter how many people there are, I can drive out, the name of the autumn mountain bike god is not shouted in vain."
Wen Ruo had already left the area and headed in the opposite direction of the Black Tower.
"Huh?" Xu Qi was stunned, as if he didn't understand the words Wen Ruo mentioned.
"It's nothing," Wen Ruo looked ahead, "which means I'm very good at driving." β
"I, faith, you." Xu Qi grabbed the handrail of the car and said one by one, Wen Ruo's car drove too fast, speeding around the occasional abandoned car on the road, which made him involuntarily increase the force in his hand.
Soon the two returned to the base again, because this time the car drove out of the base, and the base sign was hung on it, so they could enter through the gate.
Wen Ruo slowed down and approached the gate, where a group of people on the left caught her eye, the homeless people near the base wall, all gathered at this time, as if they were discussing something.
"Hello, please show your ID." Soldiers at the gate stopped the vehicle.
Wen Ruo handed out his base resident ID card from the open car window, and the soldier handed it to Wen Ruo again after checking it, and at the same time signaled for the front to let him go.
"Welcome back."
The fence in front of the car slowly rose, and Wen Ruo and Xu Qi also returned to the Silver Wolf base again.
Wen Ruo found that there were many fewer pedestrians on the road than normal, and he didn't know if it was because of the notice that the Black Tower had just noticed.
Until he returned to his current building, Wen Ruo parked his car in the parking area on the first floor, and the vehicles in the public parking area could be provided to the residents living here for free, and the car Wen Ruo was driving belonged to the public parking area.
Put the car, Wen Ruo and Xu Qi entered the elevator, there were only the two of them at this time, Wen Ruo saw that Xu Qi was also a little tired, and he had just finished a copy, so he agreed with Xu Qi to rest first.
When they were four young, they gathered in Wen Ruo's apartment, called Fu Jing and Ming Yeqing, and asked them about their recent situation by the way.
