Free Web NovelChapter 671: Chapter 238: Who is the Strongest_2
And so, time ticked on till evening.
Little Phoenix Fox and Grace Spring are also players this year, so they went along with them.
Grace Spring didn’t mention playing cards with Ree Shil throughout the day, even though he didn’t achieve his aim last time.
While talking in the car, Ree Shil came to know that the lad wanted to save the opportunity for a more formal occasion.
That is, Grace Spring wanted to duel with Ree Shil during the match.
Upon hearing his words, Greenfeather felt oddly familiar and merely smiled without responding.
The scale of the Association Headquarters in Lan-Lan Metropolis indeed surpassed theirs.
The number of players who came from various cities in the Lan-Lan Competition Zone was nearly a few thousand, yet the audience seats in the venue seemed quite sparse.
After everyone was accounted for, a tiny, cute hunchback woman, dressed in a short skirt, walked to the center of the arena.
[Dear players, good evening to you all]
[I am your host for this city’s Lan-Lan Competition Zone, Tuo Tuo]
[Or you could call me Hunchback Woman]
As she spoke, she even struck a tongue-out, endearing pose.
"Hunchback Woman, a well-known host from the Balance District."
Grace Spring timely introduced to Ree Shil, "She is known for her wide range of poses, especially those middle-schooler poses. And in the hosting arena of the entire Balance District, only her poses do not make people feel awkward."
"And more impressively, she herself doesn’t feel awkward either."
Little Phoenix Fox followed up.
[Firstly, congratulations, as each one of you has distinguished yourself in your respective cities]
[I will be at your service for the entire event of the Lan-Lan Competition Zone in the coming days]
[Now let’s dive straight into the main topic, the rules for the first round]
[The first round of the competition will be—— The Strongest Individuals Instance!]
"Wow-wow!" xN
No sooner had she said this than the audience stands began to buzz.
If we’re talking about the most brutal instance game, it has to be the Strongest Individuals Instance.
In the Strongest Individuals Instance, card players must fight in the most direct and primary way.
And the number of players advancing is usually fewer than in other types of instance games.
In other words, the competition is fierce.
[I won’t spoil the details of the instance here]
[But, I can give a little hint to the players]
[In this instance, you will all be able to choose your superpower~!]
(Self-selection...)
Upon hearing this, Ree Shil frowned slightly.
This meant that his advantage in the superpower game had vanished.
If he can choose, so can others.
[Just now, everyone received a personal communicator when checking in]
[If you have any questions, you can consult it directly]
[Or you can seek help from the staff nearby]
After explaining the various rules and procedures of the first round, Hunchback Woman concluded in this way.
Depending on the race, Ree Shil and others received an electronic information wristwatch. free𝑤ebnovel.com
With a few random clicks, a faint blue-light mini screen popped up.
The information written on it was basically what the host just explained.
The gathering of the players tonight did not take up much time; the main purpose was to disseminate the pre-match information.
Upon the announcement from the Hunchback Woman, the gathering of a few thousand people disbanded on the spot.
They would have a good rest that night, as the finals would start tomorrow.
Seeing that there was still plenty of time left, Ree Shil decided to go browse around the exclusive stores outside.
To accommodate for the sudden influx of players, these exclusive stores will also be open 24 hours a day in the coming days.
However, after deliberately waiting inside the arena for half an hour before leaving, he found that the shops were still packed with customers.
There were some players from even smaller cities than Ree Shil’s Tier-3 City; they are here mainly for the experience and shopping spree.
This crowded situation made it inconvenient for Ree Shil to use his Absolute Card Sense.
So he strolled casually for a while, then let Grace Spring, who was accompanying him, take him to try some local snacks. After that, they returned and went to sleep.
The next day, the group energetically returned to the Association Headquarters.
By eight-thirty in the morning, the crowd of spectators outside the Association Headquarters was already impenetrable.
After all, this is a grand event held every few years, and it feels more lively and exciting when more people watch it.
The Instance Game is also loved by the audience.
Through special equipment, they can also watch the happenings inside the instance.
Luckily, the players had a dedicated passage, otherwise just breaking through the crowd could take half an hour.
At nine o’clock in the morning, all 3200 players in the Lan-Lan competition zone arrived on time without a single person being absent or late.
Then, they were arranged by the Association to draw lots. freēwēbnovel.com
The sign had one random number from 1 to 32, and all the players on site were divided into 32 groups.
Flat Orange pulled a number five, Little Phoenix Fox pulled a number nine, and Grace Spring pulled a number thirteen.
Quite coincidentally, both Ree Shil and Greenfeather pulled number twenty-one. The odds were pretty small.
But the two of them didn’t know about each other.
Because as soon as they entered the drawing area, the Association began implementing confidentiality measures to protect the players’ information.
The so-called confidentiality measure was actually very simple.
It was a Puppeteer Control Cabin.
The players entered the Puppeteer Control Cabin arranged by the Association and got a controllable puppet.
The puppet started in its initial form, just like an elf light group similar to the elemental race.
All the appearances were the same, and it was impossible to identify whose puppet was which.
Then this puppet was connected to the mind and could move + use the player’s own cards + enter the instance within a small range in the arena.
