Chapter 810: 778. Identity Exposed?!

For now, let’s not think about Jiang Qiue.

Xia Feng continued to receive the rule information.

[Rule 1: The Sumeru Realm contains many Evil Fog areas, which will continuously expand into safe zones over time.]

[Rule 2: The Ash Sealed Land requires two players to open. Once opened, how to allocate Ember Stones is up to them.]

[Rule 3: The game rounds are unlimited until one winner emerges.]

[Rule 4: Each game round consists of three stages: ① Ember Stone collection stage; ② Red King exposure stage; ③ Item card exchange stage; and so on repeatedly…]

[Rule 5: Red King dies, Black King automatically turns into Red King; Black King dies, can drop Black/Red King identity card, the player who gets the identity card can acquire the corresponding identity.]

[Rule 6: Sage and above cannot participate in the throne contest, but can be promoted to Sage after the game starts.]

[Rule 7: Each player has one resurrection chance. After resurrection, they automatically exit the game and enter spectator status. If player’s sanity is

[…]

[Rule 999….]

A lot of information flooded in. The victory conditions of the game are easy to understand, but the specific rules are somewhat numerous, detailed, and complex.

Team cooperation is needed for mutual benefit, and there’s also some scheming involved.

But no matter what, it ultimately comes down to individual strength.

And individual strength… Xia Feng wanted to raise his hand to touch his forehead, but eventually held back.

He is currently the weakest in the entire arena. Even his Venerate One Realm Spiritual Pressure state is completely exposed, but he still has to maintain his dignity.

At the same time, those eight people also received the rule information.

Everyone understands that the identities of the Red King and Black King are crucial in this game.

As for who the Red King is, who the Black King is, the eight people’s expressions are calm, observing each other without showing any abnormality.

Xia Feng also quietly observed the eight people, silently chanting in his heart, “I am not the Black King, I am not the Black King.”

It must be said, the Black King identity indeed holds advantages, allowing him to survive for a while longer.

As for the Red King, it’s somewhat tragic. Although gaining an early advantage, if able to quickly gather 1000 Ember Stones, that would directly win.

But unfortunately, Rule 44 states that as long as someone finds the ‘Red King Exposure Card’, they can start the Red King positioning stage, showing all players the general region where the Red King is.

So, it depends on the Red King’s speed in gathering Ember Stones, whether they can collect all 1000 before being discovered and besieged.

And the holder of the Black King identity, Xia Feng, hopes the Red King can live a little longer to buy him time to collect Ember Stones, but also hopes the Red King doesn’t live too long, otherwise if the Red King collects all the Ember Stones, it’s game over.

As Xia Feng frowned and pondered the Black King’s game strategy based on the rules, the countdown had already begun.

[Arrival countdown: 10…9…]

At the same time,

[You have 2100 Life Points, automatically converted to 21 Ember Stones, usable for item card exchange—]

[Round zero item cards announced (level 0 cards): Ash Land Investigation Card, Active Position Exposure Card, Ash Stone Multiplication Card]

[3…2…1—]

The solid high pillar beneath his feet dissipated like a phantom, Xia Feng’s entire being fell into the Abyss, his vision darkened.

But in an instant, light surged into his eyes, and his sight quickly recovered.

He stood atop a sandy yellow dune,

Looking around, the desert stretched endlessly, the blazing sun in the sky was incredibly dazzling, as if he was in a furnace, the environmental temperature reaching 70 degrees Celsius.

[The game officially begins—]

[You have one minute to exchange item cards, the store closes in one minute—]

[Level 0·Ash Land Investigation Card

Function: Activate this card to sense the Ash Sealed Land within a hundred kilometers

Effect duration: 1 hour (card disappears after time ends)

Price: 1 Ember Stone]

This card… is quite useful, because the scope of the Sumeru Realm is larger than Jupiter, making it difficult to find Ash Sealed Lands.

[Level 0·Active Position Exposure Card

Function: Using this card exposes your location information to all players within a million kilometers

Price: 1 Ember Stone]

Ash Sealed Land requires two players to open, this card can quickly allow players with cooperation intentions to find each other.

[Level 0·Ash Stone Multiplication Card

Function: For every 10 Ember Stones you absorb, you gain 1 additional Ember Stone (can be stacked)

Effect duration: Effective upon purchase, expires after one month

Price: 5 Ember Stones]

Hmm? 5 Ember Stones?!

So expensive, Xia Feng couldn’t help but frown, although 5 compared to the final target of 1000 is insignificant, in the initial stage of the game, it’s already considered quite pricey.

At this price, at least 50 Ember Stones must be found within a month to break even.

The risk lies in currently knowing nothing about the difficulty of finding Ember Stones, how many are stored in each Ash Sealed Land, and how long each game round lasts…. Everything is unknown.

Purchasing the [Ash Stone Multiplication Card] is clearly a highly risky move.

“But….”

“I like it.” Xia Feng rubbed his chin, having already thought out his game strategy; being the weakest, it’s impossible to win without taking some risks.

Moreover….

[Notice: In the store, item cards are divided into levels 0-3. Level 1 will be announced during the first exchange stage, level 2 during the second…. Furthermore, each round all announced item cards will increase in price—]

Item cards will increase in price!

This is intriguing. As the later stages arrive, the Ash Stone Multiplication Card will be more expensive!

Thinking of this, Xia Feng no longer hesitated.

Going big!

[Spent 21 Ember Stones, you’ve purchased ‘Ash Stone Multiplication Card x4’, ‘Ash Land Investigation Card x1’]

Initial Ember Stones are related to Life Points, Xia Feng wasn’t sure how many initial Ember Stones others had, but he didn’t bother with that, choosing to spend them all directly.

Take advantage of the lowest prices to buy everything possible first.

[Level 0·Ash Stone Multiplication Card x4

Function: For every 10 Ember Stones you absorb, you gain 4 additional Ember Stones (can be stacked)

Effect duration: Effective upon purchase, expires after one month]

Total cost: 20 Ember Stones]

The more Ash Stone Multiplication Cards bought, the more multiplication, and the effect is exponential.

Also, just collecting 50 Ember Stones will break even.

High risk, high reward.

While thinking, Xia Feng’s mind was suddenly hit by a gender-neutral, indifferent voice: “Found you, Black King.”

“?!” Xia Feng’s pupils slightly narrowed.

What’s happening? I’m already exposed?

However, he didn’t make any big moves, just slightly lifted his Black Spade mask, his black robe swirling as his Spiritual Sense quickly scanned the surroundings.

“No need to search, you won’t find me.”

Xia Feng’s dark eyes narrowed, but he remained silent.

“You’ve probably guessed it, I am the Red King.”

“Now you have two choices: either cooperate with me or I immediately expose your identity to them.”
