MMORPG: DIVINE MECH HUNTER

Chapter 771: Chapter 771: 30 Matches

“Li Yao was immediately teleported to the second round, appearing in a place that resembled a lava pit, where they both stood on the solid red rocks.

Their surroundings were bubbling with lava. The temperature was high, and Li Yao knew that once the match started, if they didn’t have any cold drinks prepared, they would probably continue to lose blood.

“Surrender.” His opponent was an Elf Paladin, who said this upon seeing Li Yao.

Li Yao was taken aback: “What did you say?”

The Elf Paladin shook his head slightly and said: “I’m telling you to surrender. Whatever you want in the game or in credits, just name your price.”

Li Yao finally understood his meaning, he had encountered a rich player, but he wasn’t interested. “I’m sorry. If you want to win, beat me. I’m not interested in what you’re saying.”

“Heh, you really don’t appreciate kindness. How much can you earn in a month? Two thousand credits? Or three thousand?” The arrogant player looked at Li Yao: “I will give you that amount.”

He then held up a finger.

“One thousand?” Li Yao saw that there were only about ten seconds left, so he casually asked.

“You’re really inexperienced. Are you too timid to ask for it? I’m too embarrassed to give it to you. One hundred thousand. As long as you surrender, I’ll give you one hundred thousand credits.” The arrogant player said with a grin, “If you’re not satisfied, we can negotiate further.”

“Man, you’re rich. Your equipment is so good. Let’s not talk about your skills. Just your equipment alone can crush many experts. Why bother?” Li Yao did not understand.

“You poor soul, what do you know? My skills are average, what if you turn out to be an expert? Besides, what’s one hundred thousand? It’s just a meal’s cost, only the poor like you value credits. I want to make sure I win without fail.” The arrogant player continued, “Time’s almost up. I’ll give you two hundred thousand, and you let me win.”

“You’re right. Time’s up. Let’s start.” Li Yao could not understand these people’s way of thinking, nor did he want to. His ultimate goal was to be number one, not just in the tournament region.

Although dying once does not affect the rankings, Li Yao preferred perfection.

As the match started, Li Yao began his attack. This time, he used a sniper rifle, wanting a fast and decisive victory.

With the gunshot, a yellow bullet hit the Paladin. Through the Eye of Titan, Li Yao could see that the Paladin was equipped with +10 or higher gear. Boosted stats alone could turn him into a human tank.

Li Yao’s shot could annihilate a tank, but when it hit the opponent’s neck, it only took away a third of his health. If it were to hit another part of the armor, it would probably result in even less damage.

“Fuck you, you’re courting death.”

The paladin immediately raised his shield, his injured neck healed quickly with a golden light restoring his health to full.

Then he rapidly charged towards Li Yao. Li Yao fired again, this time hitting the Paladin’s shield, sending him staggering back due to the enormous power of the blast. Despite the +13 shield’s superior defense, the damage Li Yao inflicted was just over a hundred.

Li Yao continued to retreat while firing shot after shot.

“As expected of a rich player’s equipment. It is indeed powerful.” Li Yao had gotten a clear understanding of the comparison between his data and his opponent’s.

“You ungrateful bitch! I was being nice to you, and you don’t appreciate it. In another six seconds, I will be within my attack range. Now that you’ve seen my supreme defense, let me show you my supreme attack. I’ll obliterate you, and you won’t get a single dime.” The arrogant player was initially taken aback by Li Yao’s attack.

After testing his rich player’s equipment, it was not easy to penetrate his defense, let alone taking away a third of his health at once. It had never happened before.

Now, with his shield, Li Yao’s damage was just a slight drizzle to him.

“Heh, is the rich player’s equipment that amazing?”

Li Yao pulled the trigger once again. But this time, his target was not the Paladin’s shield, but his foot.

Just as the Paladin’s left foot was lifting, the bullet hit his right foot.

Immediately, the Paladin lost balance and fell onto the ground. After rolling a few times, he fell into the lava with a scream.

His health began to drop rapidly.

“Damn it, you’re despicable!” The Paladin cursed.

But now that he was in the lava, he couldn’t raise his shield. There was nothing to protect his vital spots; a shot directly took away a third of his health. Then came the second shot.

The paladin immediately used his invincibility and hastily said: “I admit defeat. I’ll give you five hundred thousand credits, just let me win.”

While he spoke, he was still trying to climb back onto the shore. However, although Li Yao’s bullets could not penetrate his invincibility, their force was very strong. He simply couldn’t make it back onto the shore.

Li Yao ignored him. Li Yao understood very clearly that he was bound to encounter players with rich-geared accounts in future matches, which was why he took this time to test out the disparity between their stats.

Now that he had a clear understanding of the data, Li Yao didn’t even want to waste time talking to him. Although Li Yao wasn’t wealthy, he didn’t need this man’s money. Even if he was short on cash, there were plenty of ways for him to earn money. He had no need for dishonest methods.

Shortly afterwards, the effect of his Holy Shield spell disappeared, and Li Yao ended the match with one shot facing the Paladin who was low on health.

As for the Paladin’s threats to settle the score with Li Yao later, Li Yao ignored them entirely. He feared no one in the game, and in the real world, he was now the key test subject for many professors and had a military rank. Whoever wanted to touch him would have to think twice.

The third, fourth, fifth up till the thirtieth rounds followed. Li Yao didn’t encounter any worthy opponents.

Of course, it was just the initial screening phase of the tournament with a large number of players. The chances of encountering expert players were not high. From Li Yao’s perspective, so-called expert players were no different from ordinary ones.

So, he basically killed them instantly. There was no suspense at all. Those opponents could only admit their bad luck.

In fact, two of them were pretty good. It was a pity they faced Li Yao and wasted one chance to die.

Herein lies the meaning of the death chances. For instance, a contestant might be able to compete in the world tournament, but if they encounter Li Yao and only have one life, they would be immediately eliminated.

That’s why there’s this rule of three revival chances. Then they can continue to compete for rankings. If they make it to the end, the number of deaths won’t affect their rankings.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Yao quit the qualifying match. Alice came in a moment later and said the teleportation device was ready.

Krober directly handed Li Yao a palm-sized beacon and said, “Master, it’s all set. The teleportation array is established. However, due to spatial distortion, you can only use it once. Use it wisely. Additionally, the number of communication attempts is limited, so try to contact me only when you reach critical points.”

Li Yao nodded and said, “Alright, stay here on standby and wait for my news.”

Having said this, Li Yao left the camp and transformed into a faint blood shadow, charging towards the Lizardmen’s base…
