The rest area of Hall 24.
"Here." He waved his left hand towards Su Qi.
Su Qi walked over and looked at the people around him. They were the leaders of the top clubs before. They did not bring any companions with them, and were not in the public area.
That's normal.
The previous high-profile gathering of everyone to reach a cooperation was deliberately done for certain hostile clubs to see.
Now that the qualifying battle has officially begun, they no longer need this gimmick, but must go all out to make all preparations.
"Brother Su, we meet again."
Jian Baiyi took the initiative to speak and greeted him.
Su Qi nodded and looked at the others: "By the way, you guys are not going to hold another discussion meeting like last time, are you?"
"That won't happen." Zuo Shou stretched out his hand and took out a stack of things: "Now the main thing is to exchange information. This is the information I got about the so-called Twelve World Championship. You can take a look."
Each person had a piece of information, and Su Qi took a look at it and saw that it was information they had collected from multiple channels.
"The current competition system is still unclear, but it is very likely to be a points or elimination tournament. After all, this is a competition for players who have reached level 20 in all servers. This number is terrifying, and the so-called twelve worlds should also be divided into twelve competition areas."
Zuo Shou said softly, "For details, we have to wait until two o'clock in the afternoon."
That's when the ranked battles begin.
The left hand shared the information first, showing sincerity.
Several people from other clubs also spoke up.
"I'd also like to share a piece of information I learned from Paradise. The world that the competition will enter will most likely be linked to various forces."
"?" Someone frowned, "Does that mean we will enter another world with shelter?"
There are many powerful beings whose prestige and strength can shock the world and prevent it from being polluted and eroded.
"Yes, this means that we may be able to come into contact with the real forces of all parties, and even enter the world protected by the legendary Seven Spirit Kings."
"That's too far away from us. Each of these Spirit Kings is a terrifying existence with tremendous power. At most, we can only come into contact with their lowest-level organizations." Someone shook his head: "But this is also a good opportunity to improve our reputation, but we must be careful at the same time. After all, most of them are weird and unfriendly."
They still have self-awareness.
Once you enter the relevant world, try not to cause trouble and remain humble. After all, after entering the paradise, these forces appear more frequently, and many worlds are connected. No one wants to enter a certain copy and find that there are wanted posters of themselves everywhere.
Of course, this is also a way to increase your reputation.
"etc."
Zuo Shou suddenly paused and looked at Su Buxian. He was stunned for a moment: "I almost forgot. We have said so much but didn't explain it. Brother Su, you don't seem to know these things yet, right?"
"Um?"
"About power, spirit kings, the abyss, etc. After all, you don't know much about Paradise."
Ling Wang himself had heard of it. The one to whom Russell offered the heavenly gold seemed to be called Sunset Ling Wang.
It seems that a small piano was also offered up.
"It's not a big problem."
Su Qi paused and said, "After all, I never memorize the plot when playing games. I just skip the plots, worldviews, etc., and the unknown is often the most interesting, right?"
"."
This is an important ranking battle, it's the Abyss Paradise!
This is not your ordinary workshop game!
The big guys in the park are investing a lot of resources, and the attitudes of all the upper forces are very serious and urgent. How come it becomes interesting when it comes to you?
Jian Baiyi glanced at Su Qi silently. As a person who was good at observation and had been through a copy with him before, he felt that Su Qi was serious.
"correct."
Finally, Jian Baiyi also took out the list of strong players in the competition, "If anyone in the 12th competition area encounters these people, please be careful."
They were extremely well prepared for this ranking battle, and obtained intelligence about the opponent's skills, equipment, etc. from various clues.
Everyone nodded solemnly. This competition was extremely important, the situation was complicated, and the enemies were dangerous, so there weren't too many twists and turns.
That's about all the information has been shared.
"Wait, you're all done?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Su Qi.
Su Qi said softly: "Then I will also provide some information."
Hmm?
Many people know that Su Qi is not a super newcomer in the club, and has no connection with Paradise. Where did he get the information?
"Based on the information I have so far."
Su Qi: "There are a lot of people in this hall."
"????"
What kind of intelligence is this? And what does it have to do with your information?
"And at least seven people have their eyes on us. Of course, if you look over there, they will look away."
Jian Baiyi paused and frowned slightly: "Are you saying that we are being monitored?"
Zuo Shou shook his head: "It's not necessary. This kind of surveillance is useless."
Su Qi said calmly, "They are watching your departure time. As long as they estimate that you will enter the competition, they will notify the people above. At the same time, they may bribe hundreds or thousands of players to match with you, and then act as actors or stab you in the back."
Everyone's face darkened: "Such a despicable trick?"
Zuo Shou was stunned: "Su Buxian, how do you know so much?"
Su Qi said to himself, "I have to mention the game I played a month ago. Someone actually accused me of cheating and opened more than 50 accounts to snipe me, and then acted as an actor and gave away heads."
"This is too much. What happened next?"
"Later, both of us were banned."
"??? You are so happy!"
Su Qi remained calm and composed.
"It's rude."
This [?] [!] ability appears in an ordinary online game. Can it be called cheating?
This is called triggering an Easter egg!
Can you blame him?
Fortunately, the game "Abyss Paradise" is fair, just and open, unlike other games that would mistakenly ban him.
Jian Baiyi coughed and said, "Anyway, everyone should pay attention to this and try to stagger the time when the time comes."
Everyone's expressions gradually became solemn and serious.
Then began to disperse.
They also need to continue communicating with the upper-level forces to get the prepared trump cards.
This time.
The undercurrents surging in the dark are about to turn into turbulent waves in the light.
In paradise.
Many upper-class forces are watching all this with deep eyes.
"It's about to begin"
"It's the same as those internal tests."
"Although the rules have been changing over the years, and this time is not as cruel as before, but..."
"This year's competition is the most extensive, fiercest, most resource-intensive, and most super newcomers in the competition!"
Someone laughed strangely and said,
"I wonder who can enter the place that so many people covet and flock to!"
Time passes by every second.
All the players entered the game early and were waiting silently in their personal spaces, with the number of players increasing.
The number of online users may have reached its peak today. Fortunately, there was no server crash in Abyss Paradise, otherwise so many people would have collapsed in other games long ago.
Su Qi also returned to his personal space.
He looked at his friend list and found Ye Shou was still in the dungeon. He couldn't contact this guy in real life recently and there was no news about him in the game. Even though the championship was about to start, he was still in the dungeon.
"That's not right. Maybe he was covered up by some authority of Paradise." Su Qi thought of Ye Shou's background. He has been very mysterious recently. The last message he sent was "Brother Su, I'm going to do something big. Wait for me to come back."
I don't think he's going to have a sex change operation.
And at this time.
It's two o'clock.
The clock's reminder sounded in each player's personal space! And the sound came from outside the room!
"Ding!"
Suki looked outside the room.
The sound in the black fog was like an ancient bell, strange and distant, vibrating everyone's heart!
Almost at the same time.
A flashing message box also appeared in front of Su Qi and countless players.
[Dear players, the Twelve World Championship has officially begun]
[All players who are level 20 or above in all servers can participate, and the competition will be divided into twelve different competition areas. Players may be exposed to a series of universes, worlds, backgrounds, and forces.]
[During the competition, all other matching channels will be closed]
[The rewards for this competition are Potential Award/Sequence Award/Destiny Award/Ultimate. The specific method of improving the ranking will be explained after the player enters the dungeon]
Su Qi's eyes paused slightly.
There was one more sentence at the end, written in a different color from the previous ones. It was crooked and looked like a crawling worm, and it also sounded like some kind of curse.
I was just looking with my eyes, but it seemed as if it appeared next to my ear, whispering, laughing strangely, and giving advice.
[New players, you seem a little too stupid and weak]
He started cursing right away?
And why did his tone sound like the one who sent him the invitation to the paradise?
[.It's like a sailor who hasn't set out to sea yet, hasn't set foot on the road to the future, but is already complacent, hasn't seen the true magnificence yet, but thinks he understands what the world looks like]
[It's really funny.]
It was really laughing, like a throat-sticking laugh, or like a cold mockery, laughing louder and weirder, making all the players' scalps numb, and the cold air poured in from the back and then extended to the whole body.
"It feels like a heartfelt, hoarse laugh, a very unique laugh," Su Qi commented.
The laughter slowly stopped, but all the players felt like they had tinnitus, the aftermath was still echoing, and then it continued to sound strangely along with its hoarse voice.
[And now! Before this grand paradise ship sets sail. No matter how crazy you are, how you fight, and how hard you try! Don't forget that this is just a beginning, the beginning of enlightenment that will give you the opportunity to see the true meaning of life, and the pen that will write your own destiny. All the uncertain gears are still turning quietly.]
[at last]
The handwriting turned blood red, like blood flowing, slowly revealing a sentence that everyone had seen before, but at this moment, it made their hair stand on end.
[Welcome all players to the Abyss Paradise]
