Chapter 274: Chapter 150: Instant Field Clear, Dominating the Top 10 of the Solo Competition
"The three of you?"
Time was almost up. Seeing no sign of his parents, Yu, or the others, Shen Fei turned to Number 0 and Xiaohong, who had been stone-faced the entire time. He had also noticed his sister, Shen Yue, and her expression of utter despair. He wanted to ask what was going on.
CRACK!
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
[All surviving players have been detected within the bounds of the finals arena!]
[The solo competition finals will now begin early!]
No one had expected the finals to start early. Seeing the text that had suddenly appeared, everyone understood that there were no more surviving players on the outskirts.
WHOOSH.
His hope that his parents would arrive at the last moment was shattered. Shen Fei looked at the text that appeared on his personal panel.
[The finals will be a battle royale!]
[All players are prohibited from leaving this map area! The combat zone is limited to this mini-map!]
[After the one-minute countdown ends, all players’ Invincible status will be removed!]
[During the finals, killing an opponent will grant you points equal to their current score multiplied by 100!]
[The top ten players by score who ultimately stand on the finals stage will receive rewards!]
The rapidly appearing text left everyone astonished. The finals were still a battle royale. Furthermore, the combat zone was the entire mini-map, not the large arena up ahead. The large arena in front of them was apparently just the final destination to be reached.
Points were still to be gained from other players; it was not a system where one won rounds to earn points. More importantly, during the finals, the points gained from killing a single person were a hundred times greater than before.
WHOOSH.
As the rules were announced, everyone became vigilant. Aside from their own groups, they looked at everyone else as if they were walking gold ingots. The only way to gain points was by killing. Under such rules, everyone was an enemy.
SWISH!
SWISH!
SWISH!
The hundredfold point multiplier made everyone’s eyes turn to Shen Fei. His current score was over twenty million. If they killed Shen Fei, they could get two billion points in one go.
"Brother!"
The rules of the match were clear. Seeing the gazes of over a hundred thousand people all focused on him, Shen Yue could not help but cry out. Even being stared at by a hundred thousand flies would be frightening, let alone the stares of over a hundred thousand people.
A hundredfold increase?
Looking at the point acquisition method described in the rules, Shen Fei furrowed his brow. Of course, it was this point calculation method that made him frown.
This scoring system has a bug! If a person has 100 points and is killed by a second person, that second person receives 10,000 points. If that second person is then killed by a third, the third player gets 1,000,000 points. With just a few consecutive kills like this, the third person’s score would already surpass my own. The advantage I built up early on would be instantly wiped out. More importantly, this kind of point farming can be done internally. If an organization or a country gathers a hundred or so people, they could chain-kill their way to an astronomical number of points.
WHOOSH.
Shen Fei had seen the bug in the point acquisition system, and of course, many others had as well. In less than ten seconds, many of the smaller groups began to retreat. They wanted to get away from the trouble and start farming points among themselves.
[00:00:59]
[00:00:58]
[00:00:57]
Above the massive arena, the countdown to the start of the finals had less than a minute remaining. The various groups all scattered, standing at the very edge of the Invincible buff’s range. Unfortunately, the Invincible buff’s area of effect was too small. Even though they wanted to get away, they could not get very far.
Everyone whispered amongst themselves, discussing their plans while also observing the strongest group present—Great Xia. In the crowd, many people’s eyes darted about as they schemed on how to make the first move.
KLANG!
KLANG!
KLANG!
Seeing that only ten seconds were left, Shen Fei smiled faintly and nodded. A hundred Defense Towers immediately appeared around him.
At this moment, the convenience of being a Tower Master became apparent.
Even though the battle hasn’t started, I can summon my Defense Towers ahead of time. Besides, with the Enlarge and Reduce skill, placing all one hundred Defense Towers is no problem, even in this cramped space.
SWISH!
As Shen Fei summoned his Defense Towers, the few groups that had been relatively close to him instantly fell back. Although everyone’s primary goal was to take down Shen Fei, no one wanted to be the vanguard. They all wanted someone else to go first.
The instant the Defense Towers were deployed, a clear space opened up around Shen Fei. Everyone wanted to get away from him.
Shen Fei, who already had a plan, just smiled at this. Is that really going to help?
With the hundredfold point multiplier, his score advantage would be completely erased after just three consecutive kills. Faced with this situation, what could Shen Fei do? The only thing he could do was not give them the chance to get three kills. He would have to strike first and kill everyone instantly!
CRACK!
The moment the countdown hit zero, a loud noise erupted as the golden Shield surrounding the large arena shattered.
SWISH! SWISH!
At that same moment, countless players acted on their first instinct: flee at top speed. They would hide somewhere far away first, then slowly figure out their next move. In a battle royale, everyone was an enemy. The first priority was self-preservation, and that meant getting as far away as possible from the strongest player: Shen Fei.
