Heroes' Prison-Chapter 128: Intense Competition
Huang Yi suddenly felt he was in an extremely dangerous situation; the Sand Thief King was actually inside the Dandelion Oasis!
With the Sand Thief Kingβs abilities, the Dandelion Oasis was a mere speck of land, and there was no place for Huang Yi to hide; he would almost instantly be detected!
"Are you saying that the Sand Thief King is hiding inside this Dandelion Oasis, and itβs his presence that has tainted these dandelions?" Huang Yi asked in a deep voice. ππ«ππ²π¨πππππ―ππΉ.ππ¨πΊ
"Thatβs very likely!" Slarkβs voice trembled slightly, "The Sand Thief King is too terrifying. Even now, I am still filled with fear towards him, and nothing is impossible with him around! Ever since he made a contract with Biliev, the King of the Fallen, he has obtained unparalleled abilities. His presence is filled with a chilling aura, which I have sensed in these dandelionsβitβs definitely him, no mistake!"
Huang Yi frowned and pondered. Since the Sand Thief King was hiding here, he must have already discovered him. But now a day had passed, and he was unharmed, without any attack.
What exactly was the Sand Thief King planning?
Huang Yi slowly walked out of the Heroesβ Prison, and as he reached the exit, he looked out at the vast dandelions and suddenly felt a great crisis enveloping the area. It was very likely that the Sand Thief King was there, lurking in some dark corner, silently monitoring him. Any spot there, any clump of mud, any dandelion, could be a weapon of the Sand Thief King - stepping out would mean exposing himself to countless dangers.
But in the next moment, he still took the step and walked out, leaving the Heroesβ Prison and entering the Dandelion Oasis. He had already stayed here for a day without an attack, evidently, something had happened to the Sand Thief King, preventing him from taking any action against Huang Yi.
Now, there were two paths before him. One was to quickly use the Teleportation Circle to leave this place, give up on moving forward, and return to Hedun City or Thornbush City. The other was to unravel the secret of this Dandelion Oasis, which could very likely lead to a direct confrontation with the Sand Thief King.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out throughout the world:
"[System Announcement]: Chinese player [Thunder God] has conquered Sun Island, becoming the first player to conquer an overseas region, awarded with 1000 Public Prestige points and the [Unique Achievement]β[Conquering Overseas], China National Honor Value +1."
Thunder God! Upon hearing this announcement, Huang Yi immediately decided to stay and must uncover the secret of the Sand Thief King!
Now that Thunder God had triggered this announcement, he had far outstripped himself. Thunder God had already been the first player to cross continents, and even though no system announcement was made at the time, in the hearts of countless players, this feat was completely worthy of one. And now, he had finally triggered an official system announcement, significantly increasing his winning odds! He emerged from the pool of a hundred contenders, taking a commanding lead!
Huang Yi was almost certain that by tomorrowβs forum support rate, Thunder God would soar to the first place!
Now, Huang Yi was in a passive position and had to achieve a comparable result to add weight to his chances of winning. The Sand Thief King before him was an opportunity!
Huang Yi took a deep breath and continued to search the dangerous Dandelion Oasis, his keen eyes not missing any detail!
...
Gradually, the night passed and Huang Yiβs search turned up no clues. The sky was beginning to show the first light of dawn, and a new day had arrived. The ice crystal dandelions in the sky slowly melted in the sunlight, falling down and dissipating from the world. In their place, the real dandelions on the ground started to rise into the sky, one by one, scattering in all directions, and the Dandelion Oasis returned to the normalcy of daytime.
Huang Yi logged off, ate something, exercised a bit, and quickly readjusted his physical condition to a good state before re-entering The Second World.
He first checked the forums.
As expected, in todayβs list of contenders for the Best Newcomer Award, Thunder Godβs support rate had skyrocketed to first place, reaching 13.27%, while Indian player Zi Xing followed closely behind, ranked second with a support rate of 12.11%. Huang Yiβs ranking had fallen to 22nd, with a mere support rate of only 1.81%, similar to Yang Yuheng, whose support rate had dropped to 2.14%, ranking 18th.
Thunder Godβs announcement from last night directly shook up the rankings, and the vast majority of Chinese players cast their votes for Thunder God today, causing both Huang Yi and Yang Yuhengβs support rates to plummet.
Huang Yi looked at other posts as well.
Apart from the battle for the Best Newcomer Award, the competition for other leaderboards was fierce, with every player striving to claim various honors and achievements. Many had set their sights on Floor 50 of the Tower of Pantheons!
Floor 50 was a very special level because every 50 floors, the Tower of Pantheons offered a super reward, such as Floor 50, the 100th Floor, the 150th Floor, and so on... These floors all contained a super reward!
Many speculated that the super reward for Floor 50 would be Legendary Equipment!
However, obtaining the super reward would be incredibly difficult because Floor 50 was special in that it only had one mode: a 5000-person room!
Floor 50 did not have a single-player mode, nor a 5-person squad mode, 10-person team mode, 50-person small group mode, or 500-person group modeβall these were absent, it only had this single 5000-person mode!
Therefore, to win the super reward for Floor 50, it would depend on the power of a large group. Currently, all 15 guilds from around the world were vying for this level, and even some powers that hadnβt had time to form a guild were also competing for it. Among them, the [Heaven] guild founded by the American player Pope and the [Xuanyuan Clan] guild led by the Chinese player Dao Feng were the most favored to win the super reward, barring any surprises, expected to be taken by one of these two guilds.
However, this level was incredibly difficult, and up to this point, no team had managed to kill even the first BOSS!
Now, The Second World was filled with a thick air of tension, with countless qualifying players going all out to gain leverage for winning awards. Like powerful engines, this batch of top-level players was propelling The Second World forward at full throttle, breaking records insanely and accomplishing achievements after achievements! The Second Worldβs progress was rocketing forward!
