Sidney looked around.

Those weird people seem to be still doing 'warm-up exercises' in Mune, and they don't care about him at all.

He picked up the note and read it.

Death Arena 1 Rules:

[Rule 1: Time is life, time is over, and you fail to clear the level.] 】

[Rule 2: Your teammates won't necessarily help you, but your enemies won't help you.] 】

[Rule 3: Athletes can only see their own time, but you are the only athlete who can actively share their time, and you can only share it once a day.] 】

[Rule 4: There are many strange things in the arena, such as encountering a creature with horns on the top of your head, please find a way to kill it, it will be good for you.] 】

[Rule 5: The referee is fair, please don't do anything that violates the rules of the game in front of them, or you will be executed.] 】

[Rule 6: As an athlete, it's important for you to find a way to get the right results.] 】

[Rule 7: Don't get wet, keep it clean so that your teammates don't attack you.] 】

[Rule 8: Eliminate the opponent to get 10% of their remaining time, eliminate teammates, and reduce your remaining time by half.] 】

After reading the rules, Sidney began to take a deep breath.

Almost all the Chosen ones will do one thing after reading the rules, and that is to confirm the time in their hands.

Where is this time, this is simply the countdown to life.

When each Chosen One sees the first rule, a sense of unease arises in his heart.

The advent of the death rule is bound to make everyone pay attention.

As long as the countdown is over, whoever will die.

The countdown is now 3 hours and 40 minutes.

"If I guessed correctly, the reward for this arena should be time, if you can't get a good score in the arena, you can't get the time reward, then you won't survive tonight."

Sidney can also be regarded as having the experience of clearing the level twice, plus the guidance of El Greco and Robert, he has actually learned a lot.

After all, if two people guide him, he will play in two ways.

Greco's style of play is to preserve strength and follow the process, and if it is not necessary, do not use the ability beyond the ordinary Chosen One, otherwise the process will change and it will be more difficult.

Robert's style of play is to use his special ability to contact suspicious targets as much as possible when he predicts that he will not die, triggering dangerous missions, and once the tasks are completed, he will get very high returns.

However, Sidney still prefers the steady El Greco, and Robert's style of play is too promiscuous, and may only suit him.

Rule 1 alone has already made all the Chosen ones who enter the world of weird talk dare not be careless.

The audience outside the big screen even began to worry about their chosen ones, this one really couldn't be wasted, and the pressure was also given to the two top transcendentals.

Because Rule 8 mentions, if you eliminate an opponent, you can get 10% of their remaining time, and if you eliminate your teammates, your remaining time will be reduced by half.

The strength of the top transcendent is undoubted, but if you kill a teammate by mistake, it is basically more than lucky.

The audience in Longguo was even more worried, for fear that Zhang Yangqing would kill the red eye and lead to an early elimination.

If Zhang Yangqing knew that they thought so, he would definitely say: What did I do to make you think I was murderous!

The pressure of ordinary Chosen One is not without it, after all, they may not be the one who kills, but the one who is hunted down.

The top transcendents killed the wrong ones just halved the time, and they died directly when they were killed.

Before the competition began, many of the Chosen ones followed the example of those athletes with dull expressions.

While doing the warm-up exercises, continue to analyze the rules.

In addition to Zhang Yangqing and Sidney, there is also a more ruthless Chosen One.

He is Ramirez, the Chosen One of the Angentine Kingdom, who also has a wealth of experience in the world of weird stories.

Ramirez has been training hard lately and missed the Chosen One conference.

But I am also fully prepared for this strange talk world.

He didn't choose to use resources to smash himself crazy and be promoted to transcendental.

Because of the different playing styles and concepts, he feels that once he becomes an extraordinary person and has more choices, he will hesitate, and he will not be as ruthless as he used to be.

Moreover, some people's talents are indeed not enough, and even if they have more resources, they cannot become transcendent.

Instead of becoming a crappy existence, it is better to strengthen the exercise of physical fitness and make your reactions more flexible.

Ramirez is an unusual person with a withdrawn personality and used to be a car mechanic.

Even if he settles out and gets an SSS and an SS, his daily life still hasn't changed much.

It's not like Rahman and Miller, who entered the expert group as a big man.

He just used the bonus given to him by the state to open a car repair shop and became the boss.

He has never fought for this place, as long as the country needs it, he will be there.

Angentingguo's results in the last few games have not been very good, and they have either died violently or have not received the desired rating.

The expert group discussed again and again, let's let him, the SSS-level Chosen One, go.

So, here he came.

Don't look at his experience in clearing customs, he is also very strong.

But his popularity is too low.

Ramirez's style of play is very unpleasant, he is purely hurtful to others and self-interested, and clears the level in an extreme way.

is usually very low-key on social media, so in terms of popularity, he is at the middle and lower level.

For example, after reading these rules, he has his own unique understanding.

In particular, Rule 3 mentions that an athlete can only see their own time, but you are the only athlete who can actively share their time, and only once a day.

The other Chosen ones can naturally understand that if they have enough time, they can find a [teammate] who does not have much time and get his help by giving him time.

That's true.

Ramirez has a different understanding, and he thinks he can find a way to make his strongest teammates lose a lot of time.

And he is the only one who can give him time, so he can use him to clear the level.

After all, Rule 2 only says that teammates don't necessarily help the Chosen One, just because they won't help.

That's what Ramirez has always done, and the highlight is to do whatever it takes to get there.

It is also a reasonable use of one's own 'privileges' and understanding of the rules.

In his eyes, the rules are not the same as those of the other Chosen One.

This time, many of the Chosen ones are looking for some keys to survival.

However, Ramirez felt that this time the rules not only gave him privileges, but also gave him a 'means of attack'.

In the world of strange talks, ordinary Chosen ones have always been a vulnerable group, unless they have props to improve their strength, otherwise they can't fight against the aborigines and strange creatures here.

It's just that some of the Chosen ones have gone off the rails and started to play tricks.

For example, the water mentioned in Rule 7 should be polluted, this kind of thing is very common, and the normal way to play is to avoid the area where this kind of thing appears, and other Chosen People will avoid it when they encounter it.

But Ramirez doesn't think so, and if he wants to attack his opponents and teammates, that's a good thing.

There are many layers to this rule 7.

The first layer is what ordinary Chosen ones can understand, the water in the arena may be polluted, and if you see a place with water, or see a teammate who is wet, you need to avoid it in time.

The remaining two layers depend on how the Chosen ones understand it.

Sidney understands the second layer, after all, according to previous experience in customs clearance, pollution and viruses are also effective against the same type of indigenous people.

You can splash water on the enemy, greatly reducing the enemy's combat effectiveness, and then kill steadily.

It is also a 'means of attack' given to the Chosen by the strange world, otherwise how could a normal Chosen One be able to defeat those powerful enemies.

Anyway, there are hints in the rules that killing an enemy will give you a tenth of his remaining time.

That's what the wiser Chosen can think of.

If you are not human, you can think of the third layer.

Ramirez felt that if he wanted to kill any of his teammates, but didn't want to get his hands dirty, he could sprinkle water on his teammates, so that the powerful teammates would kill the person who wanted to kill him.

It can be said that before going to the arena, Ramirez's gun was already aimed at his teammates.

Whether you want to do this when the time comes depends on the situation, but you can't think about it.

This is Ramirez's style of play, it can be said that the aborigines of the world are talking about weirdness, and if he is ranked as a teammate, it is simply not too scary.

As long as the benefits can be obtained and the consequences are not too serious, this guy can backstab his teammates anytime and anywhere.

Here's a well-known caveat.

Referring to the rules of the wax museum security guards, and the rules of the polar night snow mountaineering team, a teammate who is polluted is not a teammate.

Since Rule 7 says so, it means that any teammate who is wet can be killed, and the penalty rule for killing a teammate is not violated.

However, it seems that killing teammates will not be rewarded, unless the time comes, or basically no one will do it.

What kind of danger will be faced, you have to enter the arena to see, and the Chosen One who is here now is only predicting what will happen next according to the rules.

Everyone knows the main story, which is to get good results, and the higher the ranking, the more time you get.

But Zhang Yangqing has a doubt, that is, the statement of Rule 6.

[Rule 6: As an athlete, it's important for you to find a way to get the right results.] 】

The reference here is to get the 'right' result, what is the right result?

The right score does not mean that it is the first, this is still an unknown problem.

After all, no one said that the first place is a good result, and the rewards for each place are different, and some rewards may not be what you want?

Who can be sure if the reward for first place is time?

But he had memorized all these rules, and now he began to observe his own situation.

After all, there will be some negative states in the world of strange talk in the first few times, and the most important thing is to figure out what your negative state is first.

"It's strange, this time the strange world is so kind, and I didn't add any negative status?"

Zhang Yangqing has carried the negative state several times in a row, but suddenly it is gone, but he is a little unaccustomed to it.

If this were heard by the other Chosen One, they would surely vomit blood on the spot.

Countdown to death isn't enough? What more do you want?

Zhang Yangqing felt that things were definitely not that simple, so let's wait and see.

There were only five or six people in a large dressing room, and these people, without exception, did not seem to want to speak to the Chosen One, not so much with empty expressions as with some kind of fright.

Walking in the locker room, there are some strange breathing sounds from time to time, and some whispers that are not human beings.

This empty and strange environment makes people start to be afraid of what will happen next.

On top of that, there is a door in the locker room that can't be opened, and there seems to be some kind of rule here.

Unless a specific condition is triggered, you will be able to get out.

Some of the Chosen ones jumped up and clinged to the bars of the windows with both hands, trying to see what was outside.

But unfortunately, it was still hazy outside.

Many of the Chosen ones are thinking about how to trigger the conditions for opening the door, is there something they haven't discovered?

But the rules didn't seem to remind them how to get out, and as time decreased, the restlessness of the Chosen ones began to appear.

That's the scariest thing about the weird world.

Originally, everyone was experienced, and they thought that they could just go through the process.

Even if the process is scary, it's better than no process at all.

You know, in this weird world, time is fate.

Even some transcendents are thinking about whether they have to kill these people in the locker room before they can get out?

Only a handful of the chosen ones choose to sit on the bench and rest.

Zhang Yangqing was not so excited, since this is the locker room, his identity is an athlete.

Then if you want to go out, you must have your turn to play before you can get out.

The strange world will leave some time for the Chosen One to adapt and judge.

The reason why other Chosen ones are so anxious is because they have experience and are relatively quick to judge.

When you have more time, it's easy to get cranky.

Sure enough, just as the countdown in hand came to 3 hours and 30 minutes, there was a violent noise at the gate.

A bearded middle-aged man wearing a hat opened the door to the lounge and walked in.

He is the leader of these athletes, with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, and the bearded middle-aged voice is very thick.

As soon as he entered, he shouted and asked the people inside to gather.

I have to say that his words were full of majesty, which made many ordinary Chosen ones tremble.

In the locker room, the wooden athletes finally showed fear when they heard his words, but they had to obey his order and immediately go to the door to assemble.

Ramirez was a calmer Chosen One, and he followed the five men to the door.

They stood in a line, waiting for the leader to speak.

"Today, there is a project called 'Falling Arena', there is a time reward for surviving, and those who want to participate should come to me and sign up."

When the bearded middle-aged man said this, he didn't mean to force everyone to participate.

The main thing is that one is voluntary, and if no one participates, this time they abstain.

If it were the same as before, the Chosen ones were thinking about such a good thing?

It's not about being able to hide, and who doesn't know how scary the Death Arena is.

But now it was different, the Chosen ones had three and a half hours left to live.

If you don't participate in the competition, you'll die.

Even if it wasn't mandatory this time, the Chosen ones still took the initiative to sign up.

Without exception, none of the other five athletes in the locker room registered.

This makes Ramirez feel a little strange, is it because they have enough time? Or is it dangerous?

Thinking of this, Ramirez asked, "Team leader, are there any other projects?" ”

The team leader looked through the list and said, "This is the only one at this stage, and the next project will start at 12 o'clock tonight." ”

When Ramirez heard this, he didn't struggle anymore, so he signed up directly.

It's now half past four in the afternoon, and I still have three and a half hours to live.

You have to get at least 4 hours before 8 o'clock.

To be on the safe side, the more you get, the better, and if you have more time, you can optionally 'skip' some of the more dangerous items in the future.

Flexible use of time and rules is the key to increasing your survival rate.

That's what came to Ramirez's mind after the exchange.

It is also an experienced and adaptable chosen person who can quickly consider something.

Theoretically, the first level should not be too difficult, but there is a risk of death.

After the registration ended, Ramirez began to curry favor with the bearded middle-aged team leader, seeking some information about the 'Falling Arena'.

After all, other athletes can't communicate, only he can talk, and if you don't ask him, Ramirez really doesn't know who to ask.

The bearded middle-aged man seemed to be comfortable with his ass on the back, and began to explain some key points.

The so-called Fall Arena is like a competitive area similar to the Go board type.

As soon as someone steps into an area, the countdown to the fall in that area begins.

The countdown is only visible on instruments in the core area.

The more people enter, the faster the countdown.

When everyone leaves the area, the countdown does not stop, but only continues to count the time one person enters.

In other words, as long as this area is activated, then this area is in danger of falling.

The countdown is different in every place.

Once the Chosen One falls, they will die directly.

The Chosen ones need to find other areas to settle in before they can fall.

to make sure you don't fall with the fall zone.

When he heard this, Ramirez felt that it was very difficult.

In other words, this level not only has to face the pursuit of enemies, but also has to consider the time of the adjacent area, or whether the adjacent area still exists.

For example, if you want to kill a powerful person, you can drop all the area around him.

Then when the time comes, the place where he is, will fall, and he will surely die.

That's what Ramirez had in mind.

The idea of the average Chosen One is that if I find a place with a lot of countdowns, and I can make the surrounding places fall, then no one can hurt me.

Most of the Chosen ones are thinking about how to survive, and Ramirez is always thinking about how to kill other people to make a profit.

"Team leader, if I kill my opponent in this way, can I kill him?"

Ramirez said directly, after all, this strange talk world is said to be a competition, but it is a special killing competition.

Using means to eliminate opponents is a competitive way in itself.

The team leader glanced at him approvingly, as if to say: You kid has a very high understanding, you have thought of this.

After thinking for a moment, the team leader said: "No, because there is no direct injury, but this is one of the few ways to eliminate the opponent without being punished by the referee for a foul, you have to remember that in front of the referee, you can't attack anyone." ”
