Volume 19 Chapter 176 Conspiracy and Human Nature

Volume 19, Chapter 176: Conspiracy and Human Nature

During this gambling battle, the system stipulated that I could not summon any creatures, nor could I find helpers. However, the guys I was fighting against could summon any creatures at will. As long as they could summon more, it would not be considered a violation.

Seeing the swamp flying dragon that suddenly appeared in front of me, I quickly retracted my wings and lowered my head to dive down, and then I heard a clicking sound and the sound of teeth clenching. If I hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have bitten me just now. Although with my defense, even a bite from the flying dragon can only be regarded as a scratch, but there are so many people and so many summoned creatures on the other side, even if everyone scratches me once, it is enough to kill me. Therefore, now I try not to get hurt as much as I can, and even if I only lose a few points of blood, I try not to have a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

After ducking under the flying dragon, I immediately flapped my wings twice and pulled myself up to fly above the flying dragon. The flying dragon was also flapping its wings and planning to turn around. Unfortunately, its long neck and tail seriously affected its turning speed. , so much so that I flew behind him, but he still hadn't turned around.

Taking advantage of the opportunity before the flying dragon was ready, I immediately dived and bumped into the flying dragon's neck. Then I hugged its neck with one hand, and aimed the blade claw of my right hand at the flying dragon's neck, and executed several quick attacks in succession. After the first penetration, after stabbing the middle part of the guy's neck into a pile of rotten flesh, I tightened my wrist hard, and then pulled it up sharply, only to hear a tooth-piercing tearing sound, the flying dragon's My head was pulled directly from my body. I threw away the flying dragon's head and kicked down the body that was still reflexively thrashing. I directly used the reaction force to fly again and chased the escaping guy. However, after only such a delay, the guy had already flown out. So far away.

Compared with the people I usually meet, the biggest trouble with these guys is that they know how strong I am. Usually, even if the enemies I encounter know me, they don’t have a complete understanding of my combat power. In other words, even if they know my combat power, they don’t have time to prepare mentally in a short period of time, so that they don’t have time to prepare themselves mentally before interacting with me. In wartime, he still adopts the habit of fighting ordinary enemies, and the result is that he will die quickly.

This group of people now is significantly different from the people I usually meet in the wild.

First of all, they must have known about me before confirming my qualifications for the challenge, and when they found out that they were qualified for the challenge, they would definitely study my various abilities again. Of course, studying my combat abilities and other behaviors is not the focus. The focus is that they adjusted their mentality during this period and developed targeted tactics for themselves. For example, just now, if a player found me chasing him in the wild and summoned a swamp flying dragon to resist, what this player would usually do is stop and besiege me with the flying dragon. This behavior is obviously wrong, because even if I add a swamp dragon, no one can challenge me in a duel.

In the wild, even if those players know that I am very powerful, they will unconsciously think that they have hope of defeating me, so they will not run away after summoning the flying dragon, but will join the battle themselves. But now these guys who challenge me are very aware of my strength. They have fully realized the huge strength gap between themselves and me when they studied my combat ability before, so they have already adjusted their mentality. There is no arrogance or illusion at all. Like the guy just summoned the flying dragon, but he had no intention of cooperating with the flying dragon to fight with me. After releasing the flying dragon, he didn't even look back and just continued running. As a result, by the time I killed the flying dragon, he was already running away. Gone. There is no doubt that his mentality saved his life, and for me, if everyone here had this mentality, I would be in big trouble!

Seeing the guy flying far away, I thought about it and flew directly in a direction with fewer people. Now the crowd below has begun to gather again. Although I can kill him by chasing that guy, the time wasted is not worthwhile. After killing him, I will be surrounded by people, which will not be worth the gain.

Seeing me turning around and leaving, the crowd below immediately became anxious. All kinds of attack magic and arrows flew up in large numbers. Unfortunately, because the distance was too far and the crowd had not yet gathered together, there was no unified firing time. As a result, I easily got through the flying arrows and magic that seemed overwhelming but were actually full of loopholes.

"Damn it, let him run away again." After seeing me dodge all the attacks with a few beautiful rolling movements, the long-range attacker below immediately cursed angrily. However, just when they were extremely disappointed and I was quite proud, the system prompt suddenly rang.

"Temporary notice. Due to the request made by the player Ghost Hand Nobunaga using the B-level wish fruit, the rules of the player Purple Sun Bet Challenge were forcibly changed. The competition venue was changed to a special boxing ring. The competition was temporarily suspended, and the scene was switched after three seconds. Three. Two, one, switch.”

Following the system prompts, I just felt that the surrounding environment that originally looked so real suddenly turned into pieces like mosaics. Then these small squares automatically flipped and reorganized into a new environment. However, this The new environment is just too damn terrible.

I knew it was going to be bad when I heard the system said it was a wish fruit used by Nobunaga the Ghost Hand. Sure enough, the new match scene was replaced with an environment that looked like a high platform used in boxing matches. It was much more different than a regular boxing ring. Up, the only difference between this special boxing ring is that it is slightly bigger. At least the remaining 700 or so people and I have not been rubbing shoulders one after another while standing on it. However, even if it is not to that point, it is still here. Definitely not spacious. In fact, the total area of ​​​​the boxing ring may only be about 3,000 square meters, which means that on average, there is one person standing every four square meters on the ring. There are no obstacles in such a high-density environment. What a guerrilla? Once the system resumes the game, I will definitely be surrounded by this group of people in the center and beaten in an instant.

Looking up at the open area above my head, I finally thought of a way before the system announced that the game would start again, which was to fly to avoid being surrounded. Although I will receive intensive long-range attacks in the sky, as long as I pay attention to dodge and get out of the way of most of the attacks, it should be no problem, at least it is better than being beaten on the ground. However, as if it knew my plan, the system did not announce the start of the game, but sent another notification.

"Temporary notice. Due to the request made by player Shinsuke Yamada using the D-level wish fruit, player Ziri will not be able to fly in the next twenty-four hours, and the maximum airborne time caused by jumping and other actions shall not exceed three seconds."

This time it was completely over. The venue was changed to a flat arena where guerrilla warfare could not be carried out at all. The only method of flying that had any hope of escaping the siege was banned. Wasn't this deliberately trying to kill me? It seems that my evil image in the hearts of *** players is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Forget it about Ghost-Handed Nobunaga, that kid has long wanted to eat me alive. I don’t find it strange at all that he harmed me with the wish fruit. However, later that unknown guy also used the wish fruit to cause trouble for me. This was purely due to my evil image in the minds of *** players.

I don’t know if it was because there was someone taking the lead. Just after the system read out the request to ban me from flying, another prompt appeared immediately after.

"Temporary notice. Due to the request made by player Toshihito Fukuda using the C-level wish fruit, player Ziri will not be able to use any method to recover the lost magic power and health in the next twenty-four hours, and all damage received during this period will be doubled."

"Damn, are you deliberately trying to pile wish fruits to death on me?" Three wish fruits came out in a row, and I almost went berserk. Even if I did a lot of outrageous things in ***, there's no need to hit me with the wish fruit, right? The wish fruit is not an apple. If the three that appeared just now were sold at an auction house, they would probably sell for nearly ten million crystal coins. These guys are really willing to spend money.

Originally, I thought it was over, but the system suddenly sent out three prompts in a row. This time, it was not only me, but also the guys who were fighting me on the opposite side looked surprised.

"Temporary notice. Due to an anonymous player using a 3s level wish fruit to make a request, the rules of this competition have been forcibly changed. In addition to the original punishment rules, the player who loses Ziri will randomly exchange three pieces of equipment with the wish fruit user and directly give a random gift. Give this player only a familiar."

"Temporary notice. Due to an anonymous player's request using a 2s-level wish fruit, player Ziri's attributes will drop by one-fifth in the next twenty-four hours."

"Temporary notice. Due to an anonymous player's request using an S-level wish fruit, player Ziri will not be able to use any of the currently equipped weapons in the next twenty-four hours."

Three reminders in a row shocked me. If I don't use the already equipped weapons, that means I can't use the Eternal, Avenger, Dragon Tendon, and the various stabbing back blades on my body. What's worse is that I have no way to summon the Phoenix Dragon now, so I can't even take out the spare weapons in the Phoenix Dragon space. To put it simply, I will be completely unable to use the weapon within the next twenty-four hours. Of course, I can also steal the opponent's weapons, but because there is no way to get ownership of the weapons, I can only use basic attacks. Of course, that is better than having no weapons at all.

Although this last one is annoying, it is not fatal. The second one is much more fucked up than the third one. All attributes dropped by one-fifth. Based on my attributes, even if all attributes are reduced by one-fifth, they are still much better than ordinary players. But the problem is that I am not fighting one on one, but facing a group fight of more than 700 people. In this case, every attribute is extremely important, but I am doing it for no reason. One-fifth of the attributes are missing. The most annoying thing is that this fifth also includes health points and magic power. In addition, there was a fruit that restricted my life and magic power from being restored within 24 hours, which made me even more dangerous. Of course, these are just the foreshadowing. The real plan to end the household should be the first one among the last three notices.

The effect of activating the 3s wish fruit is that when I fail, I have to exchange three pieces of equipment with the other party. What's the equipment on me? Let’s not talk about the properties of the divine weapon of the Shenlong suit itself. It is still a complete set of equipment. The loss of any one piece means that it will no longer be complete. Moreover, my Shenlong suit is still China’s third national weapon. If the Shenlong suit If one or two pieces are lost, China's national utensils will be incomplete. Of course, even if what is lost is not the Shenlong suit parts but the eternity, it will be enough to kill me. According to the latest news, the simulated valuation of my Eternal Sword on the forum has reached as high as 2 billion crystal coins. If such an artifact among the artifacts is replaced, then I might as well 'commit suicide'. As for the subsequent gift of a magic pet, this is similar to changing equipment, and it is definitely a price I cannot afford.

The other party is clearly trying to kill me, and he is actually willing to spend so much money to trick me. The other party's background is definitely not small. The B-level wish fruit of Ghost Hand Nobunaga is already worth a lot of money, and the S-level wish fruit is priced in hundreds of millions. I estimate that the 3s level fruit alone is worth at least two billion. Although the other two fruits are slightly cheaper, they are not estimated to be much lower. A conservative estimate is that there should still be one billion.

Since the prompt just now was broadcast publicly to everyone watching the game and people on the field, the people in our guild who came to watch the game also knew the news immediately. Although none of the main leaders in our guild came to watch the battle, there must be members of our guild, because almost within two seconds after the three prompts were completed, I received a direct message from Rose with the Ring of Love. contact.

"Ziri, what's wrong with you?"

"I've been tricked by someone. Let's not talk about this for now. Please help me find a way!"

"Just try your best to hold on, and we'll find a way right now."

As soon as Rose finished speaking, the system suddenly prompted: "The competition is ready to resume. Please prepare yourself. Three, two, one, start."

Following prompts from the system, all of us were back in action in an instant. However, what surprised all the spectators, especially the people in our guild and the bastard who used a large number of wish fruits to trick me, was that the more than 700 people did not rush towards me immediately after they resumed action, but instead guarded each other. Then they started grouping, and finally they were automatically divided into three groups.

The medium-sized group of the three separate groups consisted of about a hundred people. These people moved to a corner of the venue and were far away from me. The remaining more than 500 people were divided into two groups. One group had about dozens of people. They were standing very close to me, but they all had their backs to me, and their postures seemed to be on guard. Someone else across the way instead of me.

Apart from these two groups, the remaining group is the group with the largest number of people. There were more than 400 people in this group, all gathered together and facing my direction, staring as if they were ready to kill me at any time.

After the three groups separated, a representative stood out from the group of people leaning on the edge of the venue. The person shouted to me loudly: "President Ziri, we just want to sign up this time to experience being with the world's number one master. The feeling of confrontation is not that we want to be your enemy. Now that the game has turned into this situation, it is obvious that someone is targeting you. We don’t want to be used as a gunman, nor do we want to become your enemy, so we decided to withdraw voluntarily. What happened next We are not involved.”

After hearing their words, I finally reacted, and not only this group of people, but also the intentions of the other two groups of people, I roughly guessed.

"Everyone, thank you for your actions. Although you just gave up the game voluntarily, there is no loss to you, but to me, this is a great favor. People in our guild must have videos of today's battle. Come on If you have any trouble, just come to the Frost Rose Alliance to find me, and I will definitely return the favor."

When the people on the opposite side heard my promise, they all thanked me with the etiquette of all places, and then disappeared collectively from the field. The people who helped me in the crowd outside the stadium were naturally relieved, while those who hated me yelled and cursed, calling these people cowards. As these people yelled and cursed, the people next to me who supported me immediately yelled back, and then the spectators on both sides began to curse at each other. If it weren't for the fact that each seat in the virtual stands actually exists independently, it is estimated that this stand would be It must have been more lively than the fight in the ring.

As the group of people who did not want to offend me left, a representative of those standing in front of me stood up and said: "President Ziri, we are all your admirers. We signed up this time because we want to experience it personally. I want to learn some experience about your fighting style, but it seems that the current situation is not suitable for learning experience. But don't worry, we will definitely protect you to the death. When we fight all the people on the opposite side, there won't be too many people left. Not too much We can’t do anything about those people, all we can do to help you is to weaken the opponent’s number of personnel and combat effectiveness as much as possible!”

I looked at them calmly and said with a smile: "You guys underestimate me, right? Yes, I was really nervous before, but that was because I had to fight against more than 700 people with my bare hands, and there was a price to pay for failure. It's so big that I can't bear it at all, so I'm nervous. But... there are only about 400 enemies left now, and I still have you guys to help me share the pressure. Killing them all is not a problem at all."

"Aren't you comforting us?" the player who spoke asked with some uncertainty.

I smiled and said: "It seems that I need comfort more now, right? Don't worry, as long as you buy me some time, I can deal with them. Oh, by the way, if any of you have spare weapons, trade one to me on the spot and I'll give it to you later. Get a better one."

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a loud noise around me, and a large menu requesting transactions appeared. After a brief look, I rejected the other menus and left only the purchase menu for a sword. "That's it. But I only have 20,000 crystal coins with me, which is definitely not enough for this sword. Can I pay for it later?" I said to the player who provided the weapon.

The other party immediately said: "I trust President Ziri's credibility. You just need to pay a crystal coin to complete the transaction first."

Anyway, I planned to compensate him afterwards, so I didn’t argue with him and just spent a crystal coin to buy the weapon. Because I just bought it, it bypasses the constraints of the previous wish fruit and can be used normally. Although the properties of this sword are incomparable to those of eternity, it is still a Holy Spirit-level equipment and is considered high-end among ordinary players.

"Okay, the preparations are complete. Now let's compete with the guys on the opposite side. I will let them know that I, Ziri, am not so easy to take advantage of."
