I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 582 - : Preliminary Competition Rules
Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Preliminary Competition Rules
The rules of the preliminary match are as follows:
First, all registered players enter the field for the game;
Second, winning the game means successful registration.
Third, losing the game means failed registration.
The King will be demoted to subject if they lose, and the subject will be demoted to commoner if they lose.
In other words, registration is not “free”, but only achievable through victory in the game, granting eligibility for the Maze War.
One cannot simply become a king or subject by will, if lost, an identity downgrade awaits.
Fortunately, whether you are a king or a subject, losing a game does not pose a risk to your life.
This fact slightly reassured Bai Youwei.
If it were a matter of life and death, she would rather have Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin forfeit and become commoners directly, because it’s worrying when these two act alone.
Two beams of light appeared in the massive white space.
In one beam of light, the shadow of a sword appeared, while a crown emerged in the other.
“Please make your final choice.”
The Inspector’s voice was gentle and polite, yet also full of anticipation.
“King players, please choose the Crown;
Subject players, please choose the Sword.
Please take with you your props and puzzles too, as the preliminary matched will commence immediately once all players have made their selections.”
The entire room filled with the chatter of 241 people, a constant buzz of voices.
Bai Youwei pulled Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin aside and whispered, “The Inspector didn’t specify the details of the preliminary match game. Perhaps everyone will participate in a large-scale game together, or perhaps it will be divided into groups.
I lean towards the latter. In games with large numbers of players, it’s too easy for opportunist behavior to occur. If the system genuinely wants to confer the titles of kings and subjects, it should separate these hundreds of players into distinct matches, but this would probably mean we won’t be in the same game.”
“You two have never experienced solo games before. Listen to me now: no matter what situation you encounter in the game, your first move is to find someone to team up with! Choose the strongest player to team up with! If you can’t tell who’s the strongest, use this—”
Bai Youwei handed each of them four puzzle pieces.
“These four puzzle pieces, along with those you already have on you, make five. That’s a pretty substantial number among the subjects. Any king with ambition will find ways to win you over in order to get the puzzle pieces in your hands. The king will strive to secure victory with you. Do you understand?”
Pan Xiaoxin nodded with a serious look on her face.
Tan Xiao listened attentively as well.
Shen Mo came over, taking Miss Liu’s longevity lock and putting it around Pan Xiaoxin’s neck.
Bai Youwei was slightly taken aback and asked him, “And what about you?”
“My mud can still be used twice,” Shen Mo said calmly, “Xiaoxin doesn’t have any healing props. It’s safer for her to wear this.”
Bai Youwei nodded, then reiterated her point to the two, “Be smart. Use your props when you need to. You both still have the Lucky Question Card and the Snowflake. If you lose, all your props will belong to someone else!”
“Understood!” Tan Xiao immediately replied, “Even if we lose, we’ll use up all the props before that happens. Otherwise, we would be strengthening our enemies! Don’t worry, Weiwei, I get this! It’s like when we used to fight for territory with big brother. We’d take all we could, and smash the rest. We’d never let those bastards profit!”
Bai Youwei: “…”
So that’s how you developed your underworld vibe?
“Look over there.” Shen Mo said.
They looked over and saw that the light ring of the crown was densely packed with people, while the light ring of the sword only had a few scattered around.
Tan Xiao was stunned: “Wow… so many Kings?”
