First Player

Chapter 437: Four hundred and thirty-five

Chapter 437 Chapter 435 · "Boss Rabbit, please restrain yourself!"

 Edward came prepared this time.

 In the fourth world of peak competition, he failed miserably. Apart from being a hunter who shot Noel away and had no effect, he even showed his disregard for the overall situation, which caused his status in people's eyes to drop a lot.

However, in view of the irreplaceability of all of his perfect clearances, the United Group still did not give up on him, but continued to work hard to provide for him. However, compared to the beginning of the world game, his situation was much more difficult.

 After all, no one is willing to give up his gains to others. Players will not bow to the authority of the old organization at will. Except for some groups with directly related interests, and lagging players who still can't see clearly the situation, Edward already lacks the kind of people who are dedicated to him.

 Looking at Su Mingan, who had achieved a great success in the seventh world, and seeing the increasing combat power values ​​on the ranking list, his mentality was extremely impetuous.

 …How come this guy can always find the most hidden plot line? Why is this guy always the core of the identity of the dungeon character?

Even if he knew the plot routes of the underworld to replace him, he would probably have to kneel down. But people are like this. They are very good at imagining their unobtainable results and want to surpass those who have achieved it. People say this is called "competitiveness".

 Obviously, Edward is very "competitive".

  In the eighth world, there will only be one winner, rather than a united camp system. He believes that he can fully demonstrate his strength. If you take one out of a hundred, anyone can capsize in the gutter. Just like fighting chicken on a hundred-man battlefield, a top professional player may be suddenly sniped by ninety-nine other passers-by. Not to mention, these ninety-nine people are not just passers-by.

As for the "number one player", the one who is recognized as the only winner of the Eighth World, Su Mingan should be under the greatest pressure. The pressure he faces is not unprecedented, but it is absolutely unprecedented.

 Almost a whole world of expectations weighed on him. It's hard to imagine what kind of trouble this person would face if he couldn't stand to the end and was eliminated midway.

"..." Edward's eyes couldn't help but shift slightly to the left. He wanted to see how nervous the guy who had always acted like he was sure of victory must be now.

From the corner of his vision, he tried his best to look to the left through the pink light.

 —He saw a smile on the face of the black-haired young man who attracted much attention.

Edward was a little stunned.

He didn't understand why this guy could still laugh.

—Su Mingan is so confident, thinking that under the targeting and prying eyes of the other ninety-nine people, he will definitely win in the end?

Edward's doubts were not answered when he was interrupted by a sudden sharp scream.

 “Dear players! Your dearest boss rabbit is here——”

The Boss Rabbit spoke with a shrill voice. He stretched out two soft white hands and seemed much more excited than usual.

Facing everyone’s gaze, the curve of the corner of its mouth increased eight degrees:

“—Before the eighth world begins, I will tell you the specific rules of the eighth world—ah, by the way.”

It seemed to remember something, a pair of red eyes rolled around, and its line of sight quickly changed direction:

"Ah, isn't this the number one player we kissed? My dear number one player, long time no see. I miss you so much. I miss you so much that my rabbit ears are about to fall off. I miss you so much that my eyes are red. —”

Seeing this scene, everyone was not surprised.

 When Boss Rabbit arrives, he will definitely "greet" Su Ming'an who is present. This is a custom. They would be surprised if they ignored Su Ming'an this time.

  As for the reason, they have also guessed. They are not as superficial as ordinary viewers, and they will not think that this is a manifestation of Su Mingan being a lackey of the organizer. After all, which employer would deliberately push its employees into the spotlight?

 They prefer to believe that this is the benefit of some special status. Or the organizer is targeting the first player.

“It seems to like you very much.” Standing on Su Mingan’s left, the 100th black-robed player said.

Facing Boss Rabbit’s twisted and funny smile, Su Mingan looked away.

 “Shadow.” He whispered: “Concentrate.”

 “Cough cough, cough cough cough—!”

"Boss Rabbit"'s red eyes flashed, and he faked a few violent coughs. He retracted his big white hand that seemed to want to hug him:

“So—let me tell you the specific rules of the eighth world—”

Su Ming'an was speechless watching the film's exaggerated performance.

 The reason why he chose Ying to play the role is because Ying is more suitable for the task of "inspection". Ying has high mental points and has stronger observation ability and sensitivity than Ming, making him suitable for helping him find clues.

Moreover, Shadow has enough mana for spatial displacement. Once caught in some special event, he can run away quickly. If you are entangled by an NPC, the space vibration will be much faster than slashing with a sword. As long as you silence him in time and prevent other players from discovering the traces of space vibration, Ying's true identity will not be exposed.

Although, the price is that Ying's character is much worse than that of the knight-like Ming.

“Everyone, please listen carefully. I will only report it once. I will not repeat the details if I miss them!” The movie actor was so happy that he almost looked like the boss Rabbit Bentu:

“The specific rules of the eighth world are as follows—”

 The surrounding players immediately pricked up their ears for fear of missing any information.

Su Mingan looked at Ying and thought slightly.

—First of all, from the perspective of game mechanics, he definitely made the best choice.

After reporting the answer "play as the boss rabbit", the clone became the "boss rabbit" in the eyes of the players and became the "rules introducer" of the eighth world.

 And even the viewers outside the live broadcast screen don’t know this.

As an outsider’s ‘rules introducer’, the avatar does not have to deal with other NPC interpersonal relationships. In fact, other players will not take the initiative to attack the boss rabbit, and no one will challenge the authority of the organizer.

Although the boss rabbit wandering around the venue will appear a bit abrupt, it is still much better than randomly choosing an unknown NPC to replace it.

Of course, as a duty, Shadow, who has taken over the responsibility of Boss Rabbit, needs to truthfully report the rules of the Eighth World. He must not conceal reports, make false reports, or take the initiative to interfere in the game, just like now.

“First of all, rule 01—” the shadow’s extremely excited voice echoed in the venue.

Su Ming’an listened carefully. The rules are roughly as follows.

  【Rule 01: The Eighth World venue is not large, and some "small dungeons" will be randomly distributed in the venue. Players can freely choose the small dungeons they want to participate in to obtain "Silver Stars". Each small dungeon player can only participate once, and cannot communicate any information about the dungeon to others in advance. The contents of the small dungeon will be kept strictly confidential. 】

  【Rule 02: Players have 15 days of free action. After 15 days, players who have not obtained 12 silver stars will be automatically eliminated. Players who get 12 silver stars automatically enter the "final stage". 】

  【Rule 03: After entering the eighth world, each player will get a "guide" who is responsible for guidance, and the guide will become a powerful assistant to the player. 】

  【Rule 04: Among 100 players, there are 5 "malicious persons". Before dawn today, your guide will tell you whether you are a "malicious person". The "malicious ones" don't need to collect silver stars, they will try their best to interfere with other people's dungeon clearance. Every three days of the dungeon, all surviving players will gather here again to banish those who you think are malicious. If the banishment is correct, all those who voted correctly will receive 1 silver star. On the contrary, if the banishment fails, all voters will deduct 1 silver star. 】

 …

"The rules are not difficult." Noel's voice sounded from beside him. He had wandered over to Su Ming'an and seemed to be eating bubble gum.

Generally speaking, the rules are that players go through various small dungeons in the venue, with the goal of getting 12 silver stars, and then gather together every three days to banish the "malicious ones".

"I guess that the 'guide' in this rule should be a very important part." Noel said: "According to the previous keywords, 'rebirth' and 'nurture' are a very important part of the eighth world. . The 'Guide' should become our important combat aid..." He said, suddenly raising his head.

“Speaking of which,” he said, “do you think the boss rabbit is much cuter today?”

“…” Su Mingan had long expected that Noel was an intuitive player, but he didn’t expect that he could be so sharp.

 “Not cute.” Su Mingan said, his expression unchanged.

"Okay." Noel shrugged: "Just pretend I didn't say it. After all, you should hate it."

 He quickly changed the subject:

“After the dungeon starts, the transmission should be dispersed to leave enough buffer time for cultivating ‘leaders’. If the team channel chat is unavailable, how should I join you?”

"There is no need to meet up for the time being." Su Mingan said: "Protect yourself first. I guess the competition outside of the small dungeon will not be very intense."

Noel listened and nodded.

 Beside them, after listening to the rules, others quickly found the allies they had found in advance and began to discuss countermeasures.

 The sound of soft conversations floated on the platform, and people had different expressions, with excitement and vigilance on their faces.

The Central Committee, after reporting the rules, is already planning to leave.

  “—Ask a question!”

 At this moment, a hand was raised high.

 The person who raised his hand was Sirius, the fifty-third ranked mercenary, a tall mercenary with thick black eyebrows.

 “I would like to ask about the specific rules of this guide——” He was half-sentenced.

“Oops! It’s forbidden to ask questions at the moment!” Ying interrupted ruthlessly: “All the rules have been published, please explore the specific details on your own!”

Ying said, raising his hand.

Everyone who was still thinking was wrapped and entangled in white light—

Su Mingan turned his head sideways.

At the moment he was teleported, he saw several acquaintances not far away, Edward, Mizushima Kawakora, Lu Shu, Yamada Machichi...

 “I will come to you.” Mizushima Kawa Sora said.

She was not wearing a kimono today, but was wearing a black combat uniform, and her whole body was wrapped in pitch black.

 She covered herself tightly with a high collar, black gloves, and a black hat, probably to protect herself from the possible wild environment.

Her eyes were cold, and after Mizushima Kawaharu disappeared, there was no smile on her face again.

Su Mingan ignored her.

 “Click.” A soft sound of footsteps sounded on his left side.

 A hand gently touched his left shoulder.

When he turned his head, he saw the 100th player's calm dark golden eyes, covered by a black robe.

“I will also come to you.” The player said: “If you agree to cooperate, don’t forget, ‘Player No. 1’.”

 “Then remember to tuck in your shirt this time.” Su Mingan said.
