The Great Reporting Era?
Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, "Do the five alliance leaders even use memes?"
After venting his thoughts, he quickly pondered the gameplay of this level. The first level tested intelligence and adaptability, so it was likely that the second level would focus on testing martial strength.
This arena match simulated a large-scale slaughter dungeon, and the core of a slaughter dungeon was killing, which meant martial strength.
Fight. But what's with this "Great Reporting Era"? It's impossible to associate it with war from the name. While he was puzzled, the scenery in front of him showed a wave-like distortion. Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Right, I'm about to enter the scene, what's the point of me thinking about this here?"
The scenery went from distorted to clear in less than two seconds.
Zhang Yuanqing looked around and saw ruins and broken walls. He was in the ruins of an ancient city. As far as the eye could see, there were collapsed houses. In the buildings, a mixture of blue bricks and wood, some of the roof beams had collapsed, and some of the walls had fallen. Among the decaying wood and bricks, clumps of green weeds grew.
《My Healing Game》
"So this is the scene for the second level?"
Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself. At the same time, he sensed his Yin corpse, just three meters away. In the first level, Undead No. 1 was "shielded" by the dungeon, and he, as the master, couldn't sense it.
Now it was back.
Also, the light-colored suit he was wearing had disappeared, and he was back in his pajamas.
A Spirit Realm notification sounded in his ear:
[The Great Reporting Era!]
[Spirit Realm Introduction: Once, there was a powerful general who led the imperial cavalry to conquer cities and seize territories, achieving remarkable military feats. However, his achievements were so great that he aroused jealousy among petty people and suspicion from the king. Thus, treacherous officials colluded with a foolish monarch to falsely accuse him and imprison him.]
[The general died in prison, filled with injustice. Before his death, he made a curse that all who enter this city will die by reporting.]
[Competition Rules: Each person can report once every ten minutes, and if the report is successful, the function refreshes. If the report fails, the function is sealed for thirty minutes.]
[Reporting Method: The general's heroic spirit hovers in the sky above the ancient city ruins. The reporter must shout "Report Content" and "Report Reason" towards the sky. The general's heroic spirit will judge on its own. If it determines the report is successful, the general will shoot an arrow at the reported person, deducting three points. If it determines the report is unsuccessful, the general will shoot an arrow at the reporter, deducting one point.]
[Note 1: The general's armor is lost in the ancient city, with parts scattered throughout the city. Every half hour, a piece of armor will light up with a precious glow. Please collect the armor and defeat your enemies.]
[Note 2: Each person can only equip one piece of armor. Killing or eliminating one person unlocks one piece of equipment permission.]
[Note 3: Please note, do not violate laws and regulations or engage in morally reprehensible acts (except for killing and fighting) in the ancient city.]
[Note 4: Eliminating a contestant allows you to plunder their points.]
[Clearance Requirement: Fight until the last two people remain.]
The Spirit Realm notification ended here. In the dim sky, a figure condensed from black mist appeared. It was a hundred feet tall, dressed in military uniform, holding a strong bow, and standing proudly under the firmament, above the ancient city.
No matter where you are in the city, you can see it.
Zhang Yuanqing pondered, chewing on the dungeon information.
"A personal free-for-all dungeon... no, it's a team free-for-all mode. Fighting until the last two people remain means that players will form alliances, two people per group, for a total of four groups."
"External assistance: reporting and armor. The armor is easy to find, similar to airdrop supplies, appearing every half hour. Every time it appears, it should trigger a major battle. The reporting function is not easy to use and cannot be used indiscriminately. One mistake will not only cost you points, but the reporting function will be sealed for half an hour."
"Hiss, eliminating team members allows me to plunder their points. This rule directly makes me the target of public criticism. How am I supposed to form alliances? Do I have to fight alone?" Zhang Yuanqing grimaced.
......
Dozens of miles away by the river, Yuan Ting led his Yin corpse, hiding behind a broken wall by the river, frowning tightly:
"Fight until the last two people remain, which means we can form alliances?"
"People from the Five Elements Alliance can't form alliances. I should look for Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang. Zhao Chenghuang has a strange personality and is not a good choice for an alliance. I'll look for Sun Miaomiao. If she doesn't agree to form an alliance with me, I'll go to Yuanshi Tianzun, even though he has the highest score..." Yuan Ting listed Yuanshi Tianzun as a backup option.
"First, wait for the armor to appear and see if I can get one. The armor function should be good."
Ancient city main road.
Tianxia Guihuo leaned against the wall, arms crossed, staring at the hundred-foot heroic soul in the sky, thinking:
"Killing and injuring people are not within the scope of reporting, but in the dungeon, besides killing, what other illegal or morally reprehensible things can you do?"
His eyes lit up suddenly, and he understood the core of this rule - to induce others to make mistakes, and then report them!
"I feel like there are many ways to play with reporting, but I only have ten points left, and there is no room for trial and error."
Eliminating a player clears their points. Of the eight players now, Yuanshi Tianzun has fifty points, and everyone else has ten points.
The gap is a bit large.
Tianxia Guihuo's resolute face showed a smile, "Yuanshi Tianzun is finished. He can't have any allies, and everyone in the dungeon wants to eliminate him."
The player with the highest score gets a powerful item, and the person with the item can compete for the championship.
Anyone who wants to win must eliminate Yuanshi Tianzun.
Tianxia Guihuo gloated for a moment, then thought about forming an alliance:
"Among the seven people, Yinchi and Qingsongzi have mid-to-lower-tier combat power, and their ability to strategize副本 (dungeons) is the same. I am good at strategizing副本 (dungeons), so they are the ones I can easily win over. The top three strong players are difficult to win over. Even if we force an alliance, we will be wary of each other, making it even more difficult for me to take the lead..."
As for Yuanshi Tianzun, Tianxia Guihuo didn't even consider forming an alliance with him.
Anyone who allies with Yuanshi Tianzun is a target.
"Form an alliance?"
Zhao Chenghuang walked through the ruins with his Yin corpse, waiting for the precious light to appear while searching for other players.
Zhao Chenghuang's Yin corpse had been repaired by his great-grandfather.
Otherwise, with his Taiyin power, it would take ten days and a half months. Although Zhao Chenghuang had other Yin corpses, Yin corpses at the Extraordinary stage could not be compared with Level 4.
"The reporting function seems very gimmicky and difficult to use. As for forming an alliance, I can choose Sun Miaomiao."
Rank 1 and Rank 3 joining forces would be enough to suppress the other players. "But in this way, Sun Miaomiao and I will definitely be jointly attacked by other players. Yuan Ting is a member of the Taiyi Sect. I can use off-site benefits to unite with him. Then the situation will be three against five."
Zhao Chenghuang frowned. The three players from the Taiyi Sect were fighting against the five players from the Five Elements Alliance. Although he was confident, he couldn't say he would definitely win. "There's no need to make the situation clear-cut from the start. The Taiyi Sect has fewer people, but fewer people have their advantages. The Five Elements Alliance has more people, but the biggest drawback of having more people is that they are not united."
"That's right, Yuanshi Tianzun has the highest score..."
Zhao Chenghuang raised the corners of his mouth. He had an idea.
At this moment, outside the arena.
The pictures projected by the crystal round mirror were switched to eight equal parts, corresponding to the eight players respectively.
"This dungeon is very interesting. There are many rules, and it's chaotic. There are too many things to use. I'm looking forward to the battle of the top eight players." "Many rules? They are all nonsense. It's very simple to clear this dungeon. Just rush to the center of the city and start fighting. If you want to take it slow, collect the armor and then start fighting."
The person who said this was obviously a Fire Master.
The audience discussed while watching the videos. Compared to the test in the first level, the melee in the second level was obviously more interesting.
It was no longer Yuanshi Tianzun's solo show, but a battle of wits and courage among the eight players.
After reading the rules, many people began to complain for Yuanshi Tianzun. "Ah, Yuanshi Tianzun is too unlucky. He finally passed the first level, and he became a public enemy again in the second level?"
"I feel like he has bad luck. He started in hell mode, and it's been hell mode ever since."
"And the reporting function is very gimmicky. Who would break the law in that kind of place?
Yuanshi Tianzun's point advantage is useless."
Everyone began to discuss the rules:
"This level is called 'The Great Reporting Era'. The name proves that the reporting function is a powerful weapon to determine the outcome. It depends on who can fully develop the gameplay of this function. If used well, you can eliminate opponents without fighting."
"I think you can only report reasonably if you induce your opponent to make a mistake, but the players who made it to the top eight are all experts. Who would be induced?"
"Look, those players only looked at the heroic spirit once and then stopped paying attention. They obviously all think the reporting function is useless."
"Huh, what is Yuanshi Tianzun doing?
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yuanqing had an idea to verify the reporting method. He immediately walked to the Yin corpse, squatted down, and pulled down the Yin corpse's pants. Then, he raised his head, looked at the sky, and shouted loudly: "I, Yuanshi Tianzun, officially report that Undead No. 1 is exposing his lower body in public. Reason for reporting: Indecent behavior!"
The heroic spirit standing proudly between heaven and earth remained silent and did not respond. [Ding! Reporting successful. The reporting target is not an participating player, belongs to target error, no punishment.]
So that's how it is... Zhang Yuanqing rubbed his chin, further clarifying the rules. The reporting target can only be the participating players. If the target is wrong, no punishment will be given.
After pondering for a few seconds, he thought of another idea. He immediately walked to the wall and summoned the Yin corpse to stand beside him. Then, he took out the 定海神针 (Dinghai Needle) from his crotch and began to urinate.
Amidst the clear stream of "哗啦啦 (huala la)", Zhang Yuanqing used the wall and the Yin corpse to cover his size, while manipulating the Yin corpse to look directly at his large weapon.
Since he had just peed when he woke up, the volume was not large, and it ended in a dozen seconds.
After urinating and retracting the 神针 (Needle), Zhang Yuanqing raised his voice and shouted: "I, Yuanshi Tianzun, officially report Yuanshi Tianzun for urinating in public. Reason for reporting: Undermining public morality."
"I, Yuanshi Tianzun, officially report Undead No. 1 for peeping at my private parts. Reason for reporting: Illegal!"
Above the ruins, under the sky, the tall infantile spirit slowly looked over.
Then, he raised his bow, drew the bowstring, and the bow was instantly like a full moon.
"休 (Xiu)!"
An arrow condensed from black energy shot towards Zhang Yuanqing.
The arrow was like a falling meteor, slicing down from the gloomy sky.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Yuanqing heard the dungeon notification:
[Ding! Reporting successful.]
[Ding! You have been reported by Yuanshi Tianzun, deducting three points. Report content: Urinating in public.]
[Ding! Reporting successful. The reporting target is not an participating player, belongs to target error, no punishment.]
"Interesting..."
Zhang Yuanqing smiled.
He figured out the following rules: First, you can self-report! Second, you can pull down the other person's pants and report them for exposing their lower body. Third, you can actively show your lower body to others and report them.
"As long as there is this thing, no matter what the truth is, it's a one-size-fits-all solution. No wonder it's called the Great Reporting Era."
The reason why he made this attempt was that the dungeon's introduction gave him inspiration. The dungeon's introduction clearly stated that the general was wrongly accused, which was a malicious report, not a fact. That is to say, the act of malicious reporting is likely part of the curse.
It was indeed successful.
"Someone reported successfully? Who is it?!" The seven players in the arena raised their heads at the same time, staring in astonishment at the gloomy sky.
Their eyes seemed to still reflect the fleeting arrow.
So fast?
How long has it been since they entered the dungeon, and someone has already successfully reported their opponent? How did he do it?
The seven players instantly felt anxious and a sense of urgency.
Colosseum.
The audience was full, but it was terribly quiet, silent.
ps: I'll update the wrong words first and then modify them, and continue to write the second chapter.
