Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Maise the God’s every move made the people nervous.
“As he stood up, everyone’s eyes turned to look in an instant. ”
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic would like to inform all yers in Night City that the first stage of the Professional Competition shallmence soon!]
“[Before that, yers with less than five points will need to be expelled!] ”
“[8,771 yers have been expelled!] ”
“The system notification sounded, to everyone’s surprise. ”
“Then rays of light shone down from above, enveloping the yers who did not obtain the minimum number of points. ”
“With looks of bewilderment, the yers left Night City one by one. They were immediately flung into Amber City, Crystal City and other ces! ”
“””F*ck!”” ”
“””They kicked out more than 8,000 yers just like that!”” ”
“””There were actually so many people who did not meet the points requirementst night!”” ”
“””Haven’t you considered? To get five points, you had to kill a tinum grade demonic beast. Many of those who signed up were silver grade equipment yers! How could they survive?”” ”
“””When you put it that way, I get it now. However, the Professional Competition has finally shown its true colors as a winner takes all, loser stands small type of contest...”” ”
The yers were chattering away about the elimination.
“After that, the rules for the first stage of thepetition appeared. ”
“””The first stage of thepetition will select 100 yers from the remaining 5,322 yers!”” 1″
“””For this stage, you may form a team orpete individually!”” ”
A yer shouted from the side.
Everyone looked up and realized that the yer was reading the rules of the first stage off the panel above.
“At that point, Jiang Bai did not need to say more. ”
He had already inputted all the necessary information. The various rules would now be announced by the panel.
“””F*ck! Soft Snow will be the referee!”” ”
“””Whoever does not abide by the rules will be kicked out of the Professional Competition at once!”” ”
“””I’m not worried about Soft Snow. I’m worried about the selection of 100 people out of 5,000. That’s insane!”” ”
“””That’s what makes it exciting! Once the day is over, those who remain standing will be the true elites!”” ”
“””Hahahaha! I think it’s over for me. I’m not even ranked in the top 1,000 on the leaderboard...”” ”
“””I don’t stand a chance either. This might be the day I get eliminated!”” ”
“””Sigh!”” ”
Most of the yers looked regretful.
“They knew that after the first stage selection, they would not be staying on in thepetition. ”
“But fortunately, it seemed that they would not be kicked out of Night City should they lose this time. If so, they could at least watch the battles there. ”
They would also be able to gain experience.
...
“Soon, a countdown panel appeared above thepetition stage. ”
“””20 seconds!”” ”
“””F*ck!!”” ”
The yers choked when they saw the number on the countdown panel.
That number meant that every uing match would run for a maximum of 20 seconds.
It was at this point that the yers realized how cruel thepetition’s selection process was.
“The next moment, yers rushed onto the stage in session. ”
“Some fought in teams, while others fought alone... ”
“However, every 20 seconds, there would be a loser. ”
“For most yers, that amount of time was enough to determine who was stronger. ”
“However, some yers were evenly matched. Neither side could win in such a short amount of time. ”
“In such situations, both of them would join the next batch of yers in thepetition... ”
Until one of them fell.
“””How tragic!”” ”
“””So many people have been eliminated!”” ”
“””It’ll be my turn sooner orter!”” ”
The yers’ eyes were fixed on thepetition stage.
“After some yers were eliminated, they came down looking disappointed and entered the spectating area. ”
There were quite a number of such yers.
“In the end, most of the yers were eliminated, leaving only the final 100! ”
“””Thest 100 people are the true experts!”” ”
“””There’s no need to say more!”” ”
“””Whether it’s Singer Qiqi, Cloth Bag, Infinite Sin, Cloud Toppling who was outstanding in the first stage, or Bandit Sun...”” ”
“””They have advanced to the next stage!”” ”
...
“In thete afternoon, the Professional Competition entered the second stage. ”
The yers could hardly move their legs anymore. But they kept their eyes glued to those on thepetition stage.
“””It’s been almost two days...”” ”
“””How can they be so energetic without any rest?”” ”
The yers pointed at the experts and eximed.
“Just then, the rules of the second stage appeared on the panel above. ”
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic would like to inform all yers that forming teams is not allowed in the second stage. Only individual battles shall be held to determine the final five yers!]
[Remaining yers in thepetition: 100!]
[Countdown time: 1 minute]
The time kept decreasing in front of the yers.
59 seconds.
58 seconds.
...
“As time passed, they could sense that the uing battles would be even more devastating. ”
“Out of 100 people, the final five would be determined! ”
Those 100 people were not weaklings at all. They were all experts.
And many of those experts were evenly matched.
“They noticed that there was no time limit per round this time, fortunately. ”
That meant that one expert would definitely fall before a winner could be determined!
“””Let’s go!”” ”
“””The second stage of thepetition!”” ”
The yers below cheered.
“But to the yers’ surprise, Jiang Bai stretched out his hand and pointed out a few people. ”
“””Infinite Sin, Singer Qiqi, Cloth Bag...”” ”
“””The three of you will face challenges from the other yers!”” ”
“””If you defeat 30 people in a row, you will advance in thepetition!”” ”
“When they heard that, everyone gasped. ”
F*ck!
Those three experts had to undergo a war of attrition?
How could they possibly withstand that?
“””Maise the God!”” ”
“””He’s simply brilliant!”” ”
“””He knows perfectly well that these three people are the best among the group. So he’s using this method to stimte their potential!”” ”
“””I wonder if these three yers will be able to cope with a war of attrition!”” ”
“While the yers in Night City discussed, the world channel was in an uproar. ”
“Infinite Sin, Singer Qiqi and Cloth Bag had already be popr yers! ”
“Therefore, those on the world channel paid close attention to matters concerning them. ”
“However, no one expected them to face a war of attrition in the second stage. ”
“At that moment, some enthusiastic yers were running a livementary. ”
“””The war of attrition is about to begin!”” ”
“””Everyone, who among Singer Qiqi, Cloth Bag and Infinite Sin do you think will be able tost till the end, defeat 30 people in a row and advance to the next stage?”” ”
“””Hold on! More unexpected things are happening on the scene...”” ”
“During the livementary, something unexpected took ce in Night City. ”
Jiang Bai pointed to the three yers and spoke.
“””You may also choose not to ept the war of attrition. May I know what your decision is?”” ”
“When they heard Jiang Bai, the yers understood. ”
The war of attrition was a new addition. It was to test and stimte the potential of the three yers.
“If the three yers did not agree to it, they could follow the original rules! ”
“Just then, Infinite Sin nodded slightly to indicate his eptance of the rules for the war of attrition. ”
“Beside him, Cloth Bag and Singer Qiqi also nodded in quick session and said, “”We ept the war of attrition!”” ”
“After they said that, the spectating yers and NPCs in Night City went wild. ”
