Chapter 283: Chapter 193: Crazy Points Scramble!
"So, I don’t intend to be cannon fodder in a war. Nor do I wish to see the things and people I’m familiar with and cherish fall before me. Therefore, I’m simply boosting the combat power of my country a bit. This, well, is harmless!"
"Boost? Haha, you dare say, boy? Your ’harmless’ boost is enough to give Black Dragon Empire a headache!"
Getting the maintenance manual, the deans indeed stopped bothering Long Yi. This manual was rapidly written by Long Yi using the Giant’s ring, and he broke several pen tips due to the high speed of writing.
Speaking of which, Long Yi really wanted to complain about the writing tools in this world. Ordinary people could only afford pen tips made from bamboo or animal bones. But the very wealthy could have them custom-made by elves.
Yes, only the elves could make the magical water pen tips!
The price of ordinary pen tips is about three silver coins, while an elf pen tip costs more than five hundred gold coins. The former can handle about two thousand words of writing, while the latter can last a lifetime as long as you don’t use it for combat.
The problem is, many people can’t make enough money in their lifetime to afford a few elven pen tips.
The Dwarves are really not up to snuff, missing out on such an obvious business opportunity.
Hehe, who said I don’t have a head for business? Isn’t this a head for business?
Long Yi promptly met Wesley in Golden Hammer’s blacksmith shop, and when he told him about his discovery, Wesley informed Long Yi that both humans and dwarves had tried to make pen tips out of metal but ordinary steel pen tips rust easily, and though rare metals don’t rust, they are much more expensive.
Long Yi grinned and said to the Dwarf Golden Hammer sitting across the table.
"I have a stainless steel formula. Are you interested?"
Golden Hammer grabbed his beard: "Young man, name your price!"
"Uncle calm down, you’ve got the generations wrong!"
New knowledge is always good!
Looking at the two green-eyed fellows, Long Yi couldn’t help but feel that knowledge is wealth.
Entering the fifth grade, the courses obviously became more relaxed. Most of them were self-study, supplemented by the instructor’s guidance. Long Yi also gained a lot of time. Then, Long Yi suddenly realized that his credits were pretty low.
He had previously advanced with the Dean’s special approval and didn’t pay attention to credits. But now it seems his credits were pathetically low.
What can be done to earn credits?
Dragon God Space.
This is where Long Yi obtained the turbojet engine and met the Third Crown Prince. It is also where he accumulated quite a few credits.
But this time, Long Yi wasn’t alone.
Little Mermaid Mina also followed in. As the Princess of the Sea Clan, Mina was under the strict surveillance of her bodyguard and could not get out. However, Long Yi, who often wandered around, came back fortunately.
This time, Long Yi didn’t leave the little mermaid. He invited her to play in the Dragon God Space together.
Long Yi was still Nameless, but as the little mermaid was by his side, it was impossible for him to remain Nameless. Long Yi chose a few random battles, got some credits, and under Mina’s insistence, he chose an image for himself.
Himself.
Yes, although you can choose different images in the Dragon God Space, Long Yi finally chose the image he is most familiar with, himself. At this point, Long Yi feels that there is nothing more to hide.
However, even though he thinks so, others don’t.
The rule of the Dragon God Space is that if you choose a different image, then you have the right to name your new image. However, if you choose your own image, your name will automatically become your real name.
Therefore, the name Long Yi appeared on the leaderboard of the Dragon God Space, with an incredible winning streak.
"What? That Nameless is Long Yi? Is it really him?"
"Damn it! I wondered why that bastard’s style was so familiar, turns out it’s the same person!"
Such language was soon spreading throughout the Dragon God Space.
Then the fearless challenges came.
In the outside world, if you challenge someone and lose, you not only lose face but you may also risk your life, especially since it’s rumored that this bastard Long Yi is heavy-handed and likes to teach people how to behave with fists and kicks.
But in the Dragon God Space, it’s different. Almost everyone hides their identity here; no one knows if you are male or female, old or young, human, or ghost. Also, even if you are killed here, the only loss is credits.
So, those who are fearless and want to try their luck swarmed in.
Long Yi glanced at the dueling invitation, looked at the bursting dueling invite on his wristband, and gave Mina a grin.
"Sis, want to see something exciting?"
Mina immediately nodded vigorously: "Yes!" She loved fighting the most! And loved the thrill the most!
Smiling, Long Yi put forward the request for a dueling arena.
Long Yi established a dueling arena! The battleground was the Four Side Array! The dueling method was the Last Survivor! The battle method was Team Fight!
The Four Side Array was, as its name suggests, a square battleground where death was certain if one fell into the abyss surrounding it.
The Last Survivor meant that the one who lasted the longest in this arena would win.
Usually, those who chose this battlefield were chaos-lovers who could earn terrifying amounts of credit if their luck held out till the end. However, it was different for Long Yi. He chose Team Fight! His team was composed of just himself! There was no limit for the other side! In other words, anyone could join in at any time!
"Is this bastard looking down on us!"
"He’s being too arrogant! Too reckless!"
"Destroy him! Annihilate him!"
In the blink of an eye, the not-so-large Four Side Array was swarmed with people, and even before the fight started, some unlucky fellows were already pushed into the abyss.
The Dragon God Space wasn’t very clever. It didn’t limit the number of players in the arena. As long as there was still space to squeeze in a person, it would allow one to join. Then, screams of the doomed resounded, and along with the screams, new participants joined.
Long Yi was squeezed in the middle, surrounded tightly by people. These generally shorter people had their heads pressed crushingly against Long Yi’s chest, unable to move a whit. Suddenly, someone disappeared in a flash of white light: they had been squeezed to death!
Almost at the same time, Long Yi suddenly raised his hand, drew the Dragon-slaying Sword, and executed the Dragon Wing Slash. A line of white light flashed in front of him, and the human instinct to dodge made a bunch of people step aside in synchronization. And then, both a tragic stampede and a fatal drop into the abyss happened.
The white lights rose one after the other, and Long Yi took this opportunity to hack wildly. He didn’t care at all about the technique; there were enemies all around him, and people were pouring in every moment. As long as he kept swinging his sword, he’s bound to hit someone.
Above in the sky, a huge number was constantly changing, surpassing seven hundred thousand in the blink of an eye!
At this point, some slightly cooler-headed people finally realized that things were not as simple as they had thought. Some raised their wristbands only to find all their credits had been deducted!
This Last Survivor game in the Four Side Array was a gamble!
Those who died and wanted to rejoin found their credits were zeroed out. They deep down wished to devour Long Yi. They followed the lead and stormed into Long Yi’s room without a second thought, yet who would have expected Long Yi being so sick in the head to start a gamble!
Unable to participate, people came to the spectator seats, only to see the number soaring in the air reaching nearly a million!
Damn it! My credits are in there too! I died from a fall! How unjustly did I die!
Regardless of how loudly people cursed, it didn’t affect the battlefield. Long Yi was still joyfully hacking in the middle of the field.
Soon, when the last few credit presenters were eliminated, the characters in the field became clearer.
You could tell they were all combatants of strength as they had managed to stay alive amid Long Yi’s mindless hacking. At this moment, they were all looking up at the sky; the number had reached three and a half million.
This was a number never seen before in the Dragon God Space—which was because no one had been crazy enough to do it, except, of course, a freak like Long Yi.
The remaining people were many, but not enough to change the battle. They tried to join forces against Long Yi. Unfortunately, the gap in their abilities couldn’t be bridged.
Then, a large ten-second countdown appeared over Long Yi’s head. When this number hits zero, it means Long Yi will win this round.
Mina, watching from the stands, was absolutely thrilled. This game might not have been a technical showcase, but it was exciting! Entertaining! Especially that unprecedented score display—how exhilarating!
Suddenly, someone plummeted from the sky. That person didn’t say a word, just headed straight for Long Yi. You could see that this person had a full three Dragon Mark Auras.
However, three Dragon Marks weren’t enough to defeat Long Yi.
Then, the number in the sky increased by two hundred thousand.
An eighth-grade Dragon Rider, now in the camp, was sobbing with his head in his hands, "My two hundred thousand credits! I worked so hard to save that up!"
The countdown appeared above Long Yi’s head again. Then another person appeared, also with three Dragon Marks. Sweeping the Dragon-slaying Sword in his hand, he declared,
"I’m here to avenge my brother!"
Of course, he still lost.
Another eighth-grade Dragon Rider, just like the one before, burst into tears, hugging the previous guy, "My three hundred and fifty thousand credits! Earned from fighting to death at the border!"
In the camp, three people glanced at each other: "Brothers! Let’s do this!"
Five minutes later, the three people snapped out of their dazed states, saw the hopeful looks on the previous two guys’ faces, then the five people huddled together, crying their hearts out.
Under the promise of generous rewards, brave men will surely rise to the challenge. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com)
