Volume 19, Chapter 126: An Unexpected Special Level and the Gunslinger’s Special Hobby

Along with the system prompts, the entire arena was suddenly brushed by a white light, and all the original sections disappeared, leaving only a deep pit. Yes, it is a deep pit, and it is an artificial pit. Why is it said to be artificially constructed? The reason is... Have you ever seen a naturally formed pit surrounded by ceramic tiles?

At the same time that I appeared at the bottom of this pit that looked like a swimming pool but was n times larger, other people participating in the competition were teleported to the surroundings of the pit and stood on five platforms that extended into the top of the pit.

As everyone stood still, a mechanical arm suddenly descended from the void from the top of the arena, and then the mechanical arm with many joints stretched directly in front of the Queen of Spades on the 'chairman' stage outside the arena. "Ask the competitor to place additional bets on the enemy side. This level will increase the level difficulty according to the value of the items. If you do not place the items, there will be no increase in difficulty. After the end of this level, if the contestant wins, the bet items from both sides will be automatically merged and attributed. It belongs to the other party. If the other party does not place the item, the item will directly belong to the other party. If the other party fails in the level, the bet items of both parties will be automatically merged and returned to you. If the other party does not place the bet item, this item will be returned directly."

"Why do you still say this?" Gunslinger asked in surprise.

The Queen of Spades put a stone that seemed to be everywhere on the tray handed over by the robotic arm and said: "This is also part of the chessboard. If you are afraid, you can admit defeat."

The Gunslinger glared at the Queen of Spades angrily but said nothing. The mechanical arm took back the stone, then stretched it out in front of me and said: "Please ask the competition personnel to set the difficulty to offset the bet. This level will be based on The remaining value after the value of the items you place and the value of the opponent's items are offset reduces the difficulty of the task. If you do not place the items, the difficulty will not be reduced. After the level ends, the items of both parties will automatically merge and belong to the winner. If you do not place the items, the level will be based on the value after the level ends. In the event of victory or defeat, the opponent’s items will be handed over to the winner.”

I thought about it and asked, "Does it mean that the higher the value of the things I put, the less difficult the task will be?"

"correct."

"Can I put a lot of things on it?"

"The bet items can be multiple pieces, but they must be able to be carried by the pallet. In addition, after the level is over, the opponent's items will be merged with all the items you placed. The winning side can choose to absorb the attributes of the opponent's items or merge them into the other side. of items. If you win and choose to keep your own items, the properties of the other party's items will be evenly distributed among your items and the multiple items will have associated properties, so it is recommended that you place them best Sets of items, and the quantity should not be too large. If you choose to keep the other party's items, all your items will be merged into the other party's only bet item. Please decide the bet amount based on the information."

"Can I ask what the woman put there and what its value is?" This bet seems to be used to strengthen equipment, which is definitely a good opportunity. You must know that the opportunity to strengthen equipment is much more cost-effective than obtaining a new piece of equipment. For example, if you have a helmet with very good attributes, and then you are given a helmet with similar attributes and an opportunity to strengthen the helmet, which one would you choose? Of course, it's to strengthen your helmet. No matter how good the attributes of that helmet are, they are almost the same as the one you are wearing. You only have one head. How can you use two helmets with similar attributes? Therefore, strengthening opportunities is definitely a good thing. There are originally many options for strengthening equipment in the game, but without exception they are all difficult to encounter, and even if you encounter them, it may not be 100% successful. Many enhancement opportunities have a failure rate. If the more advanced ones fail, they will only lose materials and this opportunity. The more rubbish ones may even explode with the equipment. Therefore, a chance like this that is 100% guaranteed to enhance the success is really Not common.

This level system seems to be very patient. After I asked, I immediately replied: "The other party placed a perfect god-level soul core. There is a god-level weapon spirit that can evolve infinitely sealed inside. The system value is 750 million." point."

"What does this score represent? Does it correspond to the number of crystal coins?"

"The rating does not correspond to currency and is only used as a reference for increasing difficulty."

After hearing the system's answer, I immediately tried Fenglong Space and found that it worked. It should be that the system temporarily relaxed the restrictions to facilitate me to take things.

He pulled out the Eternal Sword directly from the Fenglong space, and then asked to the mechanical arm: "How many points can I get if I make a bet with this thing in my hand?"

"The name of the weapon is Eternal, a regular weapon with a score of 2.39 billion."

Upon hearing this prompt, the crowd outside the venue let out a buzz. A perfect god-level soul core is already priceless, but when that thing only got more than 700 million points, my eternity actually got nearly 2.4 billion points. This value gap is a bit too big. Bar?

The Queen of Spades jumped up from her seat and rushed to the edge of the 'chair' table, shouting to the audience: "This is impossible! You must have made a mistake. Even if the sword can transform, it won't be my soul." More than three times the core, right?”

The good old system immediately answered: "The score is correct after checking again. Eternity has cutting rules and can cut off anything, including matter, energy, time, and even cause and effect and existence. It no longer belongs to the category of ordinary weapons, so it received a score of 1.5 billion. "

"1.5 billion? Then why do you say more than 2.3 billion?"

"Because Eternity also has a weapon spirit. Although the level is not as good as the weapon spirit you took out, it is still worth 600 million points. The remaining part is the rating of various attributes attached to Eternity. The final total rating is 2.39 billion .”

After listening to the system's explanation, I immediately took out the entire Shenlong suit with a smile, and then asked the system: "How much rating is this set of equipment worth?"

"Ninety-eight billion."

boom. The auditorium exploded again. This score is simply frighteningly high, more than 9.8 billion, which is almost 10 billion. Compared with this, the perfect soul core of the Queen of Spades can be thrown away.

After getting the exact score, I asked again: "If I put the Eternity and the Shenlong suit together, what will be the enhanced effect if I win and choose to keep my equipment?"

"Sorry, because the fusion itself is random, it is impossible to know the specific results before the fusion is completed, but it can be completely certain that it will not cause negative effects. The worst case scenario is just a few invalid or duplicate attributes. It will not reduce the effectiveness of the original equipment."

After hearing the system's assurance, I immediately and without hesitation carefully placed the Eternal and Shenlong suits on the tray. The reason why you need to be careful is because this tray is really not too big, so many things can easily fall if not placed properly. After putting the things away, I couldn't help but ask after thinking about it: "Well, can I put some more things on it that can be integrated into my suit and sword after I win?"

"No. Fusion can only use items added by one party as raw materials to be fused to all the items of the other party. You cannot freely specify the raw materials and the fused objects."

"That's it, let's get started."

"Understood, bet confirmation accepted." The mechanical arm quickly retracted into the void above my head, and then I was inexplicably lifted up by a force and flew to the same height as the platform where the other five were standing. The difference is that there is a platform under their feet, and it is located on the edge of the pit, but I am suspended in the air, and in the middle of the pit. But having said that, although this pit looks a bit like a round swimming pool, its area and depth are definitely not smaller than some large artificial lakes.

Just when I didn't understand why I was being lifted up, the system prompt sounded again. "According to the basic difficulty, start setting up the environment and filling it with toxic sewage." As the prompt ended, a large amount of turbid sewage suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pool at our feet, and the water surface was still rising rapidly, reaching our feet within a few seconds. , but the sewage stopped when it reached the height below our feet and did not continue to rise.

After the water surface stopped rising, the prompt sounded again: "Sewage filling completed. Low-level pollution, visibility of two meters, light toxins, which can cause a slow decline in health and is expected to cause death after one hour of continuous exposure. Start loading monsters below. "

Whoops, suddenly there was a group of scary monster fish with ugly faces around us. Although this thing is not very big in size, it is densely packed with tens of thousands of them, and looking at their large teeth exposed outside the mouth, it is not difficult to imagine the habits of these things.

Sure enough, the system immediately said after the strange fish appeared: "The demonized piranhas were loaded successfully. Quantity: 20,000. Next, the task difficulty will be added. The task difficulty will be added based on the score of the enemy's bet items. The toxic sewage was changed to highly toxic mud. Zero visibility, huge amounts of toxins, severe pain immediately upon contact, and death within seven minutes.”

Following the system prompts, the originally gray-black liquid in the pool suddenly turned into black mud, and bubbles continued to bubble. Although sewage can poison people, at least it lasts for an hour, and you can still swim forward in the water. Now this is done. I won’t talk about the poisonous stuff, it just shortens the mission time. The key is the properties of this mud. As long as you can swim in the water, it's not a big deal, but in the mud, it's over. No matter whether you are a synchronized swimming champion or a member of the national diving team, if you enter the quagmire, you can only sink to the bottom to ensure that the second situation will not happen.

I haven't adapted to this environmental change yet, and the system prompt rang again. "Change the monster data and strengthen the demonized piranhas into abyssal corpse-eating insects." As soon as this prompt ended, the piranhas around us that were suspended in mid-air and struggling desperately suddenly turned into a kind of eight-meter-long monster. There are many, disgusting creatures as thick as a well, with black skin and flesh covered with spines. However, the most terrifying thing is not their appearance, but the eight rings of teeth in these guys' mouths. Yes, it is indeed eight circles. These guys have eight rings of fangs that look like crushers in their mouths. It is estimated that being bitten by them is definitely not a pleasant thing.

Before the piranhas were turned into big bugs, the system prompted: "Add the number of monsters. The current number is 20,000, and it will be increased to 40,000." Needless to say, as soon as the system finished speaking, those big bugs all started to divide and reproduce. , and then the 20,000 worms turned into 40,000 worms. The most abnormal thing is that after they split, their size did not change, they were still the same size.

Seeing these monsters, the Queen of Spades' expression softened a little, but before her smile could spread, it suddenly froze on her face. Because the system prompt is still ringing. "The bet on increasing the difficulty has been completed. The difficulty is now reduced based on the score of the items bet by the contestants. The highly toxic mud has been changed to ordinary river water, with a visibility of eight meters. It is non-toxic and can be fatal if soaked for more than ten hours." Following this prompt, we The disgusting mud under my feet suddenly turned into a liquid that was a bit like rice water. Although it was not clear, at least it didn't look dangerous, and it didn't have the strangeness of the mud before. Taste it.

As soon as the water surface changed, the system prompt immediately said: "Change the monster data and weaken the abyssal corpse-eating insects into poisonous jellyfish." The monsters around us that were more than eight meters long and as thick as water wells suddenly turned into one kind of monster. Less than the size of an apple, its body is translucent and there are many red and blue dots on its surface. It looks like a poisonous jellyfish like a mushroom with tentacles. After these things appeared, the system explained: "Poisonous jellyfish, a poisonous creature, has no intelligence and will not take the initiative to attack. However, when it comes into contact with other creatures, it will wrap its poisonous tentacles around the opponent and attack. The poison has a slight paralysis effect and continues to A sting can kill someone in fifteen minutes.”

After hearing this data, the Queen of Spades entered a state of madness again. Although being able to poison someone in fifteen minutes is quite powerful, the system is talking about continuous stinging. Would ordinary people just ignore being stung and let those guys continue to sting themselves to death? Obviously that's impossible. With the size of these little things, just two hard blows when stung can kill them, and then the stinging will stop. As for other poisonous jellyfish, these little things are passive-aggressive anyway, so as long as you are careful, you won’t encounter too many, right? Therefore, rather than saying that these little things are very poisonous, it is more appropriate to say that they are not aggressive at all.

As if the Queen of Spades wasn't angry enough, after publishing the data on the poisonous jellyfish, the system continued: "Reduce the number of monsters. The current number is 40,000, reduced to 2,000." Suddenly, there were fewer little things around us. A large, seemingly dense group of jellyfish suddenly turned into only three or two kittens. Each of these two thousand jellyfish is less than the size of an apple, and the area of ​​this pool is comparable to a large artificial lake. Even if all these jellyfish are floating on the water, there is no way to seal the entire pool, let alone disperse and suspend them at different depths. In the water. It can be said that if two thousand poisonous jellyfish are scattered into this pool, as long as you avoid them carefully, the probability of being encountered is almost zero. Moreover, even if you encounter a few, their poisonous nature is not fatal at all. Although they still don’t know what the mission is, the audience already understands one thing - this mission must be passed.

The reality is pretty much what everyone thinks. After that, the tasks announced by the system became completely child's play. The task required me to go to the bottom of the water to salvage two keys, and then help the two team members who were locked up unlock the handcuffs. After that, I only had to swim to the side of the three hostile personnel and push them into the water one by one to pass. The initial difficulty of the mission was to find the key in water with only one meter of visibility, to deal with piranhas that were constantly attacking, and then to rescue and push people. Although it was not absolutely impossible to complete, it was still difficult enough. . Not to mention the difficulty level that was increased later. Finding the key in the mud of such a large pool was definitely impossible even without those bugs. Don’t forget that the mud is poisonous. I could only stay in it for seven minutes. But now the task has become child's play.

Two thousand jellyfish thrown into the pool are indeed extremely sparse. The average distance between two jellyfish is more than two meters. As long as you are careful, you can easily pass through such a large gap. Finding the key was originally quite difficult, but now the visibility of the pool water is as high as eight meters, so this task has become much easier. The entire pool was only eight meters deep. After diving to a depth of two meters from the bottom of the pool, my eyes could still cover a large area of ​​water. I found two keys after swimming around a few times. Needless to say, the final part of removing the handcuffs and pushing the person into the water. It's just an obstacle course in the water. If you're a little careful, you can easily reach the target point. As for the resistance of the other party's personnel...it seems that I haven't lost my weapons yet.

"Congratulations on completing the special level. All levels have been cancelled. You have won the final victory. According to the agreement, the bet items will be fused. Which attribute should be extracted and fused into the other item?"

"Extract the god-level soul and fuse it into my divine dragon suit."

"The equipment fusion is completed. For your safety, the equipment has been automatically transferred to your previous storage space. Please check the properties later."

As the prompt ended, Logan and I were all teleported to the 'chairman' stage in a flash, and the other party's personnel were also teleported out together. The arena below automatically returned to the Colosseum mode composed of yellow sand. .

The Gunslinger didn't even have time to congratulate us on our return, he happily ran to the Queen of Spades and shouted: "Now that I have won, can I make any requests?"

"Impossible, this is impossible!" The Queen of Spades yelled crazily, not knowing whether she couldn't accept it or just wanted to pretend to be crazy and take advantage of the opportunity to refuse the payment.

The Gunslinger didn't give any face, and directly shouted: "Hey, old woman, if you are going to go crazy, can you clear our account first?"

"No, let's do it again." The Queen of Spades grabbed the Gunslinger's shoulders and said excitedly, looking like a gambler who lost his money. Seeing that the Gunslinger was unmoved, she added: "If you win this time, everything I have will belong to you. As long as I have it, including my men and myself, it will all be yours."

The Gun God pushed the Queen of Spades away and said: "You old woman, what do I want from you? Stop being disgusting, okay? I just want her." The Gun God suddenly pointed at the cloaked man who had been following the Queen of Spades and said .

"Pfft..." When I heard the Gunslinger's request, I squirted out all the water in my mouth while I was taking a rest. "Damn it, Gunslinger, you have too strong taste, right? You paid so much to ask me for help just to find a male favorite?"
