Struggle in the Steam Age

"Because the astral plane has obvious power limitations, it is naturally impossible for us to send referees to the astral space in advance to judge your behavior like usual games. So we will ask several mages to cast magic for you. Mark to record your performance in the New Territories space."

　　 After the words of the highest consul of the New Lufthansa Republic fell, some of the contestants' faces showed a suddenly realized look. But the confusion on the faces of most of the contestants became even stronger.

For example, Lawrence belongs to the group of contenders. After all, it has only been a few months since he became an extraordinary person, and he has not experienced any systematic extraordinary education at all, and he has all the knowledge he has now. Relying on self-study. In this case, he naturally didn't know something about the extraordinary world.

　　 Even after experiencing the blessing of the God of Knowledge last time, his accumulation of extraordinary knowledge is deeper than most spellcasters of the same level. But this part of the knowledge is not very comprehensive after all, and it is normal for him to be unclear about certain routine operations in the extraordinary world like this kind of magic mark record.

　　Of course, Mr. Supreme Archon also discovered this. He smiled and explained: "Before everyone enters the astral plane, a few wizards will use the power of the magic tower in the capital of the Republic to put a mark on your forearms. Kill the extraordinary monsters and kill the possible messengers. Ogres who enter this plane will get high scores. And they will also get a part of the scores if they win against other contestants."

　　 "But—" The supreme consul made an extremely serious expression at this point. "Please remember that this is just a game, a game to unite the young generations of the extraordinary world of the New World. Therefore, deliberate killing of other contestants is absolutely forbidden. Once discovered, that person will be regarded as a murderer. At the same time, he will be added to the New World Bounty List as a red wanted criminal."

　　 "What a severe punishment." Lawrence's eyes widened suddenly, because only those who were deemed to be completely betraying the civilized world would the extremely evil guys be listed on the New World bounty list. And every country in the New World and non-evil forces will treat these guys as enemies and hunt them down.

　　 At the same time, the content of this list will be delivered to the world. Any force has the right to hunt down and kill the evil people on the list and come to the New World to redeem rewards.

　　 The red wanted criminal in the list represents that the amount of bounty that this guy hangs on his body ranks second in the list, and there are basically no masters in the black iron level competition. This also means that any contestant who commits this taboo will face endless pursuits, and there is basically no possibility of escape.

　　 Therefore, all the contestants present were shocked by the severe punishment, but at the same time secretly relieved. This shows that the organizers of the competition do not want everyone to kill each other, so naturally everyone will be safer.

　　 "Okay, I have already said what should be said. Now we will distribute the list with specific questions to you. If you have any questions, you can ask your familiar staff. The game will officially start in 40 minutes."

　　 Soon, the platform floating in the air split into many pocket platforms and landed on the top of the mountain where Lawrence and the others were. Then the staff who came down from the pocket platform walked to the side of the contestants and began to distribute various detailed receipts about the activity and began to explain.

　　 It was a priest of the Church of Knowledge who distributed the receipts to Lawrence and his team. After receiving the receipts, Lawrence found that it is no wonder that so many people are eager for this kind of comparison, because the rewards are too generous.

　　 For example, the team that won the first place in the game can get an extremely precious opportunity to strengthen. This strengthening opportunity is not a simple comprehensive strengthening, but a strengthening of the human body's potential. After experiencing this kind of strengthening, the transcendent can go further and smoother on the road of transcendence.

　　 In addition to this most precious prize, the members of this team can also get 360 copies of magic food for a whole year. The bronze stage gives priority to the opportunity to use each church meditation room, and one professional-level magic item per person. And choose a vocational skill training from the major professional associations in the New World until the peak of the bronze level.

　　 In addition, if the victor is from the White Eagle Federation, then they can get a Black Iron Level Lending Card from the White Eagle Federal Library and the honor of carving a bust on the outer wall of the Federal Memorial.

　　 "Squeak, it looks amazing." Miss Raka the Ratman widened her eyes. "This reward is simply too rich. With these rewards, I can definitely become a hero and even a legendary rogue."

　　 "Yes, the prizes are indeed huge." Lawrence remained calm as he watched the contestants who were discussing more and more enthusiastically around him. "This also means that the competition will be very fierce, and each of us may need to go all out to win."

"It's actually not a big chance for us to win the championship." At this time, the Paladin John opened his mouth and said. As a Paladin who can be raised as an extraordinary person since childhood, his information channel is naturally better than Lawrence. This kind of half-hearted is a lot more. Naturally know more about this game.

"At a low level, especially at the Black Iron level. Those non-human intelligent creatures are naturally stronger than humans by virtue of their talents. Historically, they accounted for no more than 1/3 of the overall population. But the number of championships can be more than half."

　　Speaking of this, John found that everyone seemed a little lost, so he quickly cheered everyone up. "But it is necessary to go all out to participate in the competition. You know, the higher the ranking, the more prizes. I think there is no problem with us getting a good ranking, and the prizes are also very good—"

　　 "My brother, shut up!" Warrior Reso interrupted John directly. "It's better for you to keep quiet."

　　 "Well, I'll just shut up." After hearing Reso's words, Paladin John closed his mouth immediately. Lawrence and the others were laughing while covering their mouths.

　　 John is a true Paladin, impeccable in morality and behavior. But for some reason, he habitually pours cold water on others or picks which pot is not opened~www.ltnovel.com~ and has a tendency to crow's mouth. So his best friend Reso is often responsible for stopping him from continuing to talk before things get worse.

　　 After the excitement about the prizes passed, Lawrence and the others began to look at the information on the materials seriously. According to the rules of the competition, the astral space selected for the competition is different every year, and this time the astral space called "Sea and Flame" is a circular space with a diameter of about 70 kilometers.

　　 In this space, a volcanic island with a diameter of more than 40 kilometers floats on the blue sea, with many small islands and reefs scattered around. Lawrence and their task will be to stay in it for a week.

　　 In addition to a map full of freehand style attached to the data, it is only vaguely mentioned that the closer these islands are to the volcanic monster, the stronger it is. And near the crater in the center and the largest of the map, there are about two thousand dragon-veined kobolds, divided into several tribes, blocking the road to a mine on the volcano.

　　 Although the investigators who entered this space did not enter the mine in order to avoid disturbing the group of dragon kobolds. But just the breath radiating from the entrance of the cave has already convinced several investigators that there is definitely something good inside.

　　 In addition to the kobold tribe, there are various monsters in the forest on the island. The most powerful monster is a professional-grade thorny porcupine and a professional-grade water-shooting turtle. In addition, there are some official monsters.

　　 It’s just that these official-level monsters are often the leader of a group of monsters, so dealing with them is not any simpler than the previous two monsters. And under this circumstance, Lawrence and the others could not massacre a certain kind of monster, otherwise it would be easy to draw out these powerful monster leaders.
