On the third day after the attack on the island subsided, the reservists who had been promoted were allowed to leave the island one after another, each preparing and waiting to enter the promotion ceremony.
Jiang Qian, under Ji Ming's arrangement, moved to a "secret safe house" along the coast, claiming to prevent the assassins from counterattacking again.
But the so-called secret safe house is not actually located on the coast, but on an island.
This operation is the bait dropped to eradicate the last wave of hidden dangers on the island.
This matter is kept secret from most people. The specific reason is not something Jiang Qian needs to care about. His current priority is to be promoted to a powerful person.
As for the hot discussion in the forum, he has no idea at all!
The so-called seclusion means not hearing what is happening outside the window and focusing only on passing through the narrow door.
During this period, his only contact with the outside world was to recover the repaired props; and to receive the two clerical props obtained from the ten tribes: the Eye of Heaven and the Heart-killing Lock.
Therefore, currently, his prop locker is extremely rich in resources! The kind that can walk sideways among the ten clans:
Investigation props: Exploration Notes, Secret Glasses, Beidou Button Camera (4/7), Sky Eye (n/m);
Main attack props: pen, children's water gun, fruit bomb*8, heart-killing lock;
Defense props: chivalrous cloak, rebound handkerchief;
Healing props: Inspiration Poker*1 (scalpel), real living glue (imitation), ginseng fruit (2/3);
Special props: Little Devil Suit (2/7), Purple Gold Gourd, Invisibility Cloak, Gate of Time and Space (imitation), Key of Time and Space*6, Four-panel Display Window, True Mental Spider Web (imitation), True Variety of Food Bait (imitation), summoning bagpipes;
Special items: "Whispers of the Inner Demon" return summons, super crystal *160.
…
During the retreat, Jiang Qian chose to temporarily store some of the overflow props in "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse". On the one hand, it was also used to monitor the movements of Davos Island in the dungeon.
Most of the remainder is used for promotion ceremonies.
However, in the first half of the promotion ceremony, there are clear prop restriction rules.
But Jiang Qian is not worried about this.
As one of the few unconventional evolvers in the super-species world, he also obtained the highest income from top players in the "Containment" dungeon and greatly enhanced his fighting skills. To put it bluntly, he is now not afraid of any provocation of the same level.
For Jiang Qian, the highest risk and most uncertain level in the promotion ceremony is only the last difficulty: the battle between the beast kings.
Unfortunately, there is no information on the promotion operation of double-card players. Where do the two identity cards go? Will it cause a catastrophic event, etc.
There is no record.
A card holder only corresponds to one identity card, which is as deep-rooted and unshakable as the underlying logic of the super-species world.
But he is an unknown alien.
Not only were they given two high-status status cards at the beginning, but they have also been coexisting harmoniously with the two cards to this day. They have kept a low profile and bided their time, and both of them have achieved the promotion standards as expected.
This is mostly due to the fact that Jiang Qian is not afraid of this particularity, not just at the emotional level.
To be more precise, he is used to being "special" and is good at hiding the most special part of himself just right. It seems that walking in the routine with a special identity is his current way of survival.
Even if this is a road no one has ever traveled before.
Whatever is supposed to come will come, even if what comes is "the end of life."
Finally, one afternoon.
Jiang Qian took a lunch break and woke up naturally. Just when he was feeling refreshed, he heard a prompt from the super-species world:
[Player ID: Qianlong, do not use]
[Identity Tag: Tang Snake]
[Evolution Level: Three-State·Fusion (300/300)]
[Judgment: Qualified for promotion]
[Identity Tag: Dragon]
[Evolution Level: Three-State·Fusion (505/300)]
[Judgment: Qualified for promotion]
【Matching...】
The situation was as Jiang Qian expected, and both cards reacted.
[You have been matched to this year's "Promotion Ceremony" of the super species world. Ordinary super species players will have the opportunity to complete the upgrade of their identity cards through this "promotion ceremony"... Please clarify your intention to participate first. 】
[Choose: "Yes" or "No" to confirm your intention. 】
When the sound rang, Jiang Qian had just finished washing and was looking at himself in the mirror.
He was very satisfied with this time point and answered easily:
"yes."
As the words fell, the familiar darkness came as expected.
[Annual promotion ceremony, one-time copy, numbered top secret. 】
[Type: Multiple Death]
[Difficulty Level: Hell]
[Introduction: The annual "Promotion Ceremony" provides super-species players with a fair, just, and open competitive environment in the region. Through the three levels of the battle between card king, domain king, and beast king, the top super-species players are selected and given Comprehensive upgrade of ID badges. 】
[Level 1: Competition for the Card King]
[Tip: 80% of the candidate players will be eliminated at this stage. When the number of eliminated players reaches the standard, they will automatically be matched to the next level. 】
[Betting chips: Life*1/Super crystal*30 (three states)]
Jiang Qian thought carefully, followed the procedure, and wanted to choose the super crystal.
At the same time, another filter box was laid out in front of Jiang Qian.
At the same time, the voice prompted:
[Please select three props from the personal props and put them in the temporary storage column as auxiliary equipment for the card king battle in the "Promotion Ceremony". 】
[Note: High-level dignitary props and clergy props are prohibited from being used at this stage. 】
The restrictions on props in the promotion ceremony are particularly strict in the first level. Only three props are allowed to be brought into the venue, and the quality of the props is limited to control the boundaries of the influence of the props in the promotion ceremony.
Jiang Qian already knew the rules during the training camp, so he had no worries.
He naturally selected three props and put them in the storage column, which are:
Beidou button camera (4/7), invisibility cloak, pen.
The three props correspond to respectively: reconnaissance, defense, and offense.
The perfect iron triangle.
The idea behind not including healing props is simple, it’s not necessary in the first level.
As the first level of the narrow gate competition, which is expected to be relatively least difficult, these three props can be considered an excellent combination of props.
After selecting the props, Jiang Qian's vision gradually returned to clarity.
In front of you is a truly restored original forest.
Jiang Qian was currently hiding in the woods beside a pond.
The sky was clear at this time, and the afternoon sun shone on the surface of the pond, creating sparkling waves from time to time.
However, the dense forest where Jiang Qian was located was blocked from light by dense branches and leaves, and instead there were bursts of cold air.
Jiang Qian immediately turned on his spiritual vision and took out the four Beidou button cameras he had brought in. At the same time, he found a nearby bunker and wrapped his invisibility cloak around his body.
There are clear suggestions for this in the training camp class:
Among the three levels of the promotion ceremony, the first two are screening mechanisms, following the natural law of "survival of the fittest".
Perhaps in order to ensure as much fairness as possible, all players are spread out when they first enter the card king competition field.
Players have the opportunity to find favorable terrain at the first opportunity to hide or set up defenses to build an offensive, without having to worry about being killed and attacked at the beginning.
But this also gave rise to the most difficult point in the battle for card kings: slowness!
Progress is slow and time passes.
Almost all players try to use the "labor" of others to eliminate them, while they hide somewhere and enjoy the profits!
The strategy itself is correct.
But the problem is that if every player is so conservative, it will lead to a terrible war of attrition.
In particular, Jiang Qian's identity card category is still the best at consuming it.
Everyone is hiding in the dark, waiting for others to attack and be exposed first; if they don't wait, then continue to wait until their physical strength reaches the limit...
Therefore, Jiang Qian gave up exploring this difficult way to break the situation.
He chose to spend it with everyone to see who could last the longest.
Jiang Qian is hiding on top of a towering tree.
While spying on the movements of players in nearby areas through the Beidou Button Camera, you can safely appreciate the richness and variety of the rainforest environment in the evolutionary copy.
…
Just like this, one hour, two hours... five hours passed.
The skylight gradually dimmed, and the natural beauty gradually turned into a Shura battlefield...
As the number of deaths in the first level of the promotion ceremony, "The Battle of the Card Kings," reaches a certain order of magnitude, the dungeon will give a progress prompt.
Such as:
The elimination rate is 10%...25%...55%...
This means that players who show their flaws or play with fire are increasingly being eliminated from the game.
At present, Jiang Qian has moved his hiding place for the third time, quietly observing and avoiding the life-and-death fights and plots taking place nearby.
Both hunters and prey are unofficial license holders, most of them are casual cultivators, and a small number are evildoers and fringe characters who are in non-lawful camps and have not yet mutated.
In short, I didn’t see any official acquaintances of the license holders except himself.
Of course.
Thanks to Jiang Qian, no one of his kind participated in the war of attrition in this year's reserves. Everyone was making way for him alone.
This means that he can go on a killing spree during the promotion ceremony without being bound by the righteousness of his peers.
