Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 27 The Favored Newcomer
In the 11th layer of the Dark Abyss, among the 1950 contestants, the most terrifying one is the cosmic star anchor 'Tata' who has already reached the eighth level limit. Tens of millions of fans in her live broadcast room are paying attention to Tata's every move.
"Mid-sized escapes from the abyss. Tata always easily gets through the first nine rounds and easily makes a lot of money. Why can't I learn it?"
"That's because Tata is too strong. I've also reached level seven. I played five times today, and only once managed to get past the first nine rounds."
"Tata is so powerful! Watching her escape from the abyss is simply an art."
Fans were amazed.
Although Tata, a cute girl wearing a hat, could not see the comments, she still held down her hat and said with a smile: "From the tenth round onwards, I have to be careful too. Because I could fall and be eliminated at any time."
Naturally, what she said could only be heard by the audience in her live broadcast room.
"In fact, the Dark Abyss officials have always been biased towards newcomers and the weak, targeting the strong." Tata explained, "This is also normal. For example, there are one million contestants in this escape from the abyss, and nearly 900,000 of them are fifth-level star life forms. Most of the prize pool is provided by fifth-level star life forms. In order to ensure the attraction to fifth-level star life forms, they are naturally biased towards them in the early stages."
"In fact, no matter how biased we are, there will only be 125,000 people left in the first three rounds, and more than 870,000 people will be eliminated. Naturally, those eliminated will be mainly fifth-level star life forms."
"For fifth-level star life forms playing Escape from the Abyss, I suggest that you go for a low-level Escape from the Abyss. Relatively speaking, the probability of breaking even is higher. Playing a medium-level Escape from the Abyss... they still mostly lose money, which is really not wise."
"As for the seventh-order star life forms, although they were targeted in the first six rounds, the elimination rate was only over half."
"For them, the most dangerous rounds are from the seventh to the ninth round, because each round is a team battle, and the losing team is eliminated. So after each round, about half of the seventh-level star life forms will be eliminated. After these three rounds, too many will be eliminated."
"After the first nine rounds, less than one-tenth of the seventh-level star life remains."
Tata smiled and said, "This is still the average data! If you are an old player, you are experienced and you earn a lot... The more you earn in Escape from the Dark Abyss, the more you will be targeted."
"When I participate in large-scale escape from the abyss events, I tend to fail in the first few rounds. Because there are too many eighth-level masters in the large dark abyss, and sometimes even ninth-level masters participate."
"So, don't be greedy and always keep a clear head. If you get carried away by a large bonus, you may end up falling into the abyss and lose everything."
"Everyone says we have to escape from the dark abyss." Tata said with emotion, "But the real key to this game mission is to 'escape from the dark abyss in your heart.' Only by mastering your own mind! Having absolute self-control! Can you become the winner The vast majority of other contestants are swallowed up by the dark abyss."
Tata's words caused countless viewers in the live broadcast room to sigh.
“I was devoured.”
"I can't escape the dark abyss in my heart."
"My dad is an old player. I calculated for him. He has earned over 10 million in the past month! My dad is an eighth-level star life. He can make tens of millions a month just by doing any job. But my dad still plays frequently. He plays large-scale escape from the abyss activities. He says it is to hone his mind and prepare for a breakthrough to the ninth level. I think he has sunk into the dark abyss. I dare not control him. Sigh, I am helpless!"
"Hey, I'm a sixth-level star life, and I made ten times more from escaping the abyss than from working! If you want to learn, you can contact me!"
…
"This is the start of the tenth round."
Tata walked around carefully, saying, "I mainly play the medium-sized Escape from the Abyss. The medium-sized Escape from the Abyss can't threaten me in the first nine rounds. Even in a team battle, whichever team I'm assigned to will win. But starting from the tenth round, the game officials will definitely try their best to target me."
"Because I am probably the strongest one among these thousand people! In fact, the game officials are still too stingy, and I don't make much money from them." Tata walked carefully, looking cautious.
Tata has reached the eighth level limit a long time ago and has made many outstanding achievements. His income from any job would be terrifying.
Tata doesn't care too much about the 'unstable bonus' she got from escaping the abyss. On the contrary, the tips from tens of millions of viewers in her live broadcast room are the biggest part!
She has lived for more than 5,000 years, and even bought a beautiful native life planet as her own territory! Now, her biggest pursuit is to become a "ninth level".
"Okay, let's stop talking." Tata carefully observed the surroundings. "This layer of the abyss contains a small number of weapons, but I know very well that the game officials would never hide weapons near me."
"This contestant with a horn was in a team battle before, and he killed more than 30 people by himself. He is very likely an eighth-level star life."
"Yes, I will prove it too."
"It's amazing. One person killed more than 30 people."
In the distance, however, a one-horned man with green pupils was being targeted, and many contestants were surrounding him.
"Unlucky guy, he should have shown too much strength in the team battle." Seeing this from a distance, Tata explained in a low voice, "Before his teammates treated him like a treasure, but now they all wish that such a great master would be eliminated as soon as possible."
…
Xu Jingming kept his distance from the others while searching for weapons. He was close to the edge of the land and could see the land slowly collapsing not far away. As it collapsed, the land would become smaller and smaller, forcing the contestants to move in a smaller and smaller area.
"The killing has started in the middle." Xu Jingming glanced at it from a distance. He was thrown at the edge from the beginning, so he could keep as much distance as possible.
"kill."
"This purple-haired guy is also very powerful, maybe an eighth-level master. Kill him!"
"Deal with him."
The contestants who escaped from the abyss were all ambitious and wanted to be the final winner. Now, they all set their sights on the super-powerful players exposed in the "Team Battle"! All the masters with at least 20 times the actual combat bonus were surrounded by a large number of masters, and even among the besiegers there were strong people like "Tata".
"If a team does not show its strength in three consecutive rounds of team battles, it may lose and be eliminated. But if it does, all other teammates will remember it! It will be completely exposed." Tata said, "Therefore, leading the team to victory without exposing its strength is the key to making it to the later stages."
"puff."
Tata also mixed in the crowd and suddenly launched a sneak attack. He kicked the one-horned, blue-eyed man, forcing him to dodge, but he was hit by the claw of another man behind him, tearing the flesh on his waist.
The one-horned, blue-eyed man was soon surrounded and killed.
"How pitiful." Xu Jingming also saw that the purple-haired man in the distance lost his life after being besieged by more than ten people.
In the early stage of land shrinkage, the contestants were more likely to target those who had previously shown strong strength! After all, most of those who could survive nine rounds were quite strong. They naturally cooperated with each other and eliminated some strong opponents in advance!
These strong rivals are the biggest obstacle to winning first place.
"Huh?" Xu Jingming glanced around and saw a blue-haired man taking out a sword from the bushes in the distance, and several people rushed over immediately.
The sword flashed, and the broken arm flew away! One person was killed and two were injured immediately.
"Haha, good luck." The blue-haired man held the sword in one hand and looked around with excitement.
The other contestants' faces changed slightly and they didn't dare to get any closer. Since they failed to snatch the weapon the first time, trying to snatch it again... would be too risky.
"This man knows swordsmanship."
"There's no need to compete with him." The other contestants walked around him.
A first-rate master holding a sharp blade is more terrifying than a top-notch master with bare hands.
Because with flesh and blood, they dare not touch the sharp blades at all, otherwise they will break their arms and legs! Unless there is a huge gap between them, and the combat power is several times different, they can defeat those masters with weapons with bare hands.
The ground was collapsing, the scope was getting smaller and smaller, and the contestants were getting closer and closer.
Fighting became more common.
After all, the contestants are very careful. When the range is smaller and they are too close to each other, they will naturally strike first!
When the range was narrowed to a certain extent, a large-scale fight broke out. Xu Jingming had just exchanged a few moves with one person when a dark red light column descended! Because the fight in the central area was too tragic, the death toll was enough.
"Buzz." A dark red beam of light enveloped Xu Jingming and a thousand others, heading towards the 10th level of the dark abyss.
…
"I managed to get through the tenth round quite easily. On the contrary, many masters, such as the purple-haired alien, were eliminated." Xu Jingming thought to himself that he was indeed insignificant, because his real strength on the field was only at an average level!
The 10th level of the Dark Abyss.
Xu Jingming was once again assigned to an area closer to the periphery, and he immediately began looking for weapons.
"According to the information I collected, there are usually about ten weapons on the 11th floor, and about twenty weapons on the 10th floor. Once the weapons are obtained, most of the other contestants... are unwilling to rush up unarmed." Xu Jingming searched anxiously, "Once I obtain the weapons and escape the abyss, I can go further and get a higher prize."
Not long after walking, Xu Jingming caught a glimpse of a cold light in the weeds on the distant hills, and his heart trembled.
"weapon?"
Xu Jingming immediately approached quietly, wanting to quietly take away the weapon, but he found that there was also a burly green-skinned alien approaching there, and the green-skinned alien couldn't help but look at Xu Jingming.
The two of them made eye contact and both realized that the other had discovered the weapon!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two of them burst into speed in an instant and rushed straight towards the cold light!
"Huh?" Their sudden speed immediately attracted the attention of other contestants around them, and several of them quickly approached.
"Get out of the way!" A green-skinned alien rushed forward, and a shadow of his leg was like a big axe, chopping down as fast as lightning.
Xu Jingming was unwilling to retreat, because retreating would mean giving up this weapon. He raised his elbows with both arms and used shield skills to block this heavy kick! The impact of the tip of the elbow on the leg bone made the green-skinned alien's face change slightly.
"Swoosh." While Xu Jingming blocked the kick, he kicked the weapon to the side with his toes and he himself rushed out immediately afterwards.
The direction he kicked with his toes was exactly the direction where there were no contestants.
He was naturally the first to catch up with the enemy as he pounced! With one hand, he grabbed the weapon.
This is a dagger.
Holding a dagger, Xu Jingming stopped and looked around. The five contestants around him looked at each other and began to retreat one by one. No one was willing to fight with the contestants holding weapons.
"I got the weapon." Xu Jingming was overjoyed. With the weapon in hand, his strength increased several times. He was confident that he could deal with top-notch masters!
…
Xia Country, Life Evolution Bureau.
Director Zhou sat at his desk, looking at the files on the panel and examining them carefully.
"Last year, the virtual world was fully opened, and people around the world began to practice evolution. It was also a period of rapid growth for geniuses. In Xia Country, Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tu Ling, Fang Yu, Zhao Fan, Zhang Qing and many other geniuses emerged." Director Zhou shook his head slightly, "But that was a global screening of billions of people. It's too difficult to find geniuses now."
At least within the territory of Xia , no other geniuses discovered can compare with Xu Jingming and Liu Hai, let alone Fang Yu and Zhao Fan.
“It’s really difficult.”
Director Zhou sighed secretly.
Buzz——
Director Zhou frowned slightly, touched his watch lightly, and a light screen appeared immediately.
On the screen, Secretary General Angus was looking at Director Zhou with a smile: "Director Zhou, hello, I want to report a good news."
"What news?" Director Zhou asked puzzledly.
"We, the Blue Star Virtual Intelligence, are always collecting important information from the virtual world network," said Secretary General Angus. "We just collected a piece of news. In the Dark Abyss virtual world, Xu Jingming is participating in one of the most popular missions, 'Escape from the Dark Abyss.' He has already made it to the top 1,000! Because his appearance has not changed at all, our Blue Star Virtual Intelligence can identify him instantly."
"Escape from the Dark Abyss? The first thousand?" Director Zhou couldn't believe it. "Are they low-level people who escaped from the Dark Abyss?"
"Medium-sized." Secretary General Angus said.
"What?" Director Zhou couldn't believe it.
"This news shocked a lot of people. Many of our senior executives from Blue Star went to watch." Secretary Angus' eyes lit up. "If Xu Jingming is lucky enough to get first place, then..."
Director Zhou said: "Wake up, wake up, stop dreaming."
Secretary General Angus smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it. After all, it's 50 billion Universe Coins plus tips from the audience."
"It's amazing to be in the top 1,000. After all, there are one million space citizens competing." Director Zhou couldn't help but said, "I'll go online now."
…
Director Zhou and other Blue Star executives watched the official live broadcast of Dark Abyss one by one. The game officials were also broadcasting the "Escape from the Abyss" event. The number of viewers for just the "Medium Escape from the Abyss" live broadcast reached a staggering 300 billion!
This is just a popular side quest in the virtual world of 'Dark Abyss'.
This shows how astonishing the number of viewers is for 'Dark Abyss', which is the second most popular evolutionary game in the entire universe.
"More than 300 billion citizens of the universe are watching?" Director Zhou and others, at this moment, are among the more than 300 billion people watching the dark abyss scene appearing before them.
Buzz——
A dark red beam of light descended, covering the five hundred people.
Five hundred people arrived at the 9th level of the Dark Abyss. Xu Jingming was holding a dagger. He was one of the very few people among the five hundred who possessed a weapon.
"Xu Jingming has entered the top 500." Director Zhou's eyes lit up, "And only 35 of them have weapons, Jingming has the advantage!"
