BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126
The members of Grand Sea Guild and Xilong Guild had never expected such a restriction to be placed on players who had just left their guilds.
“It was bad enough that they would not be getting any rewards. Now, the furthest they could progress to was 10th place. ”
“In other words, even if they were the strongest player, they would automatically be withdrawn from the competition as soon as they reached 10th place. ”
“A panel suddenly appeared, causing their eyes to light up. ”
“[If a player passes the Loyalty Order test, he or she will receive points as a reward, and be able to contend for first place!] ”
“””What Loyalty Order?”” ”
“””And what could that be now?”” ”
“The vice guild master of Xilong Guild asked, puzzled. ”
“Tianyu, who had previously heard a little about the Loyalty Order, spoke up. ”
“””A Loyalty Order tests how loyal a player is to a certain person or guild!”” ”
“””Looks like the world of Sword and Magic is really serving Hidden Dragon Guild this time! There’s even a segment to test loyalty!”” ”
“With those words, Bandit Sun’s expression turned cold. ”
“It looked like by participating in the Professional Competition, not only was he unable to earn any rewards, he might even be killed by other players. ”
“””F*ck!”” ”
“””Maise the God is messing with me!”” ”
Bandit Sun said fiercely.
“Then he gave a signal to the elite members of Xilong Guild, telling them not to sign up. ”
“However, what happened next was out of his expectations. ”
“””Singer Qiqi, Pine Tree, Wildflower...what is that supposed to mean!”” ”
Bandit Sun was stupefied.
“He had made himself clear, yet those people had registered for the Professional Competition. ”
“””We want to challenge the experts!”” ”
Singer Qiqi replied.
“When he heard that, Bandit Sun had nothing to say. ”
“However, in view of his warning, some members chose not to leave the guild to register for the competition. ”
“After all, they knew very well that they could not beat the expert players there. ”
10 minutes passed in a flash.
“17,001 people had signed up! ”
“Just then, a series of howls could be heard on the world channel. ”
“””F*ck, why can’t I seem to enter Night City? I want to go over and sign up for the Professional Competition!”” ”
“””It feels terrible, doesn’t it? Could it be that once the Professional Competition starts, no one will be able to enter Night City?”” ”
“””I’m so envious. Players who have registered say that more than 10,000 people have signed up for the Professional Competition!”” ”
“””If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken time to consider. Now, I’ve missed such a great opportunity.”” ”
“””Is there a live broadcast?”” ”
“””That’s the most important thing!!!”” ”
“””If I can’t watch the Professional Competition, I’ll regret it for life!”” ”
The players were feeling down.
“They had missed the registration. And now, they might also miss the chance to observe the Professional Competition. ”
Some people knelt down and cried bitterly.
“They had wanted to register for the Professional Competition. However, they had been delayed by the quest and missed the opportunity to enter Night City. ”
“At the same time, the players in Night City were reading the chat messages on the world channel. ”
They did not realize that so many people would be that frustrated...
“It seemed that they were the lucky ones. At least, they had registered for the competition. ”
“There were at least a million players in other cities. Since they had missed the chance, they could only wait for the other players to provide live commentary on the world channel. ”
...
“Some of the players had bad intentions. They had only wanted to earn rewards from the Professional Competition. However, they soon realized that they had been too naive. ”
“Just like the people from Xilong Guild and Grand Sea Guild, a panel appeared before them. ”
“[Notification to players: If you fail to pass the Loyalty Order test at the end, all point rewards will be taken away!] ”
It was obvious.
The competition only catered to those who did not harbor bad intentions.
“On one hand, it was to provide an arena for the major classes to compete. ”
“On the other hand, it was to help Hidden Dragon Guild select members. ”
“Soon, it was midnight. In the vast and grand competition arena, a five-colored ray of light appeared, illuminating the whole of Night City. ”
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic would like to inform all players that the Professional Competition and Midnight Invasions will commence at the same time.]
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic would like to inform all players that the Professional Competition and Midnight Invasions will commence at the same time.]
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic would like to inform all players that the Professional Competition and Midnight Invasions will commence at the same time.]
...
“As the announcement sounded thrice, the eyes of the players widened. ”
“””F*ck!”” ”
“””Two at a time!”” ”
“””Then what will happen to Night City? It won’t be invaded by demonic beasts, will it?”” ”
“””We won’t die before the competition even starts, will we?”” ”
All the players were panicking.
“Just then, Jiang Bai stood before the throne and spoke again in a deep voice. With his Dragon Slayer title, everyone felt like his voice was pressing down on their heads, as if they were being suppressed. ”
“””The first night of the Professional Competition!”” ”
“””Release the Protection quest!”” ”
“””All players who signed up for the competition must participate!”” ”
[Ding!]
[Players can now accept the Protection quest!]
[Protection Quest: Protect Night City from the invasion and threat of demonic beasts! Players who survive will receive points and the right to step on the competition stage!]
[Players who reject the quest will be expelled from Night City!]
...
“As they listened to Jiang Bai, the players looked at the panel that had appeared in front of them. ”
They gasped.
No one had expected the first stage of the Professional Competition to be the protection of Night City.
“However, after thinking about it, they realized something. If Night City could not survive Midnight Invasions, then the Professional Competition would not be able to continue either. ”
“Thereafter, the players in Night City accepted the Protection quest one by one. ”
“Just then, a dark aura flashed across the night sky. That was followed by the roar of an ancient demonic beast. ”
The sound continued for nearly half a minute.
“As the sound of the demonic beast rang out, the players were shaken. ”
They realized that the invasion of demonic beasts on the second day of Midnight Invasions would be more terrifying than the first...
“The next moment, the world channel was in an uproar. ”
Everyone was discussing heatedly which demonic beast would appear in that round.
“At the same time, the players in Night City were walking in an orderly manner towards the city gates, in all four directions. ”
“Whether it was Cloth Bag’s group or Singer Qiqi’s group, they only had one goal in mind. To defeat the demonic beasts, earn point rewards and then step onto the Professional Competition stage. ”
...
“At the other end, Jiang Bai and Su Muxue sat on the high platform in the competition arena. ”
“””Is the challenge too great for the players this time?”” ”
Su Muxue looked down as she asked worriedly.
“In the previous night of Midnight Invasions, all the players had fled frantically as soon as they saw the demonic beasts. That was the only reason they had survived. ”
“But now, they had to actually fight the demonic beasts. No one could guarantee the players’ survival. ”
“””Only the strong deserve to take part in the next stage of the competition!”” ”
“””The weak will naturally be eliminated!”” ”
“””This is the purpose of the first night of the Professional Competition!”” ”
Jiang Bai replied calmly.
“In his previous life, it had taken a month to determine the winner of the first Professional Competition. ”
Because the weak had not been screened.
“Right now, the invasion of demonic beasts was the perfect tool to screen the weak and pick out the strong. ”
“Following that, they only needed to see how many points each player had earned... ”
“[Ding! Singer Qiqi has killed a gold grade demonic beast, earning 1 point!] ”
“[Ding! Cloth Bag has killed a platinum grade (tier 1) demonic beast, earning 5 points!] ”
