Main Text Volume Chapter 191 Ranking Table
In the third level of death, in addition to the venue changing and fewer players, the rules of the game have also changed accordingly.
The points competition and promotion rules remain unchanged, and the points for promotion are a little less than the previous levels, because the number of players in the last three levels is relatively much smaller.
What has changed is the rules for selecting opponents. In the previous levels, opponents are selected on the spot and the game is played immediately. However, in the third level of death, the selection is made the day before, giving you one night to prepare, and the official game will be held the next day. In this way, the audience can know the next day's event in advance and have time to choose the game they want to watch. This is also where the Sky Tower makes money.
Many popular seeded players' games will even be determined one or two weeks in advance, giving the organizers enough time to promote.
In view of this rule, if Angel wants to play, he can only wait until tomorrow.
Angel stayed on the field and watched a few more games. The contestants were all elites at the same stage. If Angel did not have an alchemical weapon, he would not be able to win a game even if ten of them were added together.
After roughly confirming the strength level, Angel came to the draw area to select tomorrow's opponent.
The staff member was a skinny old man with a pigtail. He crossed his legs, smoked and read a book, looking very relaxed.
When Angel approached, he smelled a sweet smell of cigarettes. Angel himself did not smoke, but it did not prevent him from judging the grade of tobacco. The tobacco smoked by this old man with a pigtail must be of higher quality than that smoked by Nausicaa.
"Hello, grandpa, I am here to draw lots." Influenced by Jon's Confucian culture since childhood, Angel has always been respectful to older people.
The old man with pigtails looked away from the book with red eyes.
Can you get jealous even when reading a book? It seems that he is an emotional senior. Angel thought to himself.
The old man with pigtails did not even look at Angel, nor did he speak. He stretched out his hand and spread his palm.
Angel was stunned, not knowing what the old man with pigtails meant.
The open palm was bent a few times, urging Angel to hurry up!
Is he asking for a bribe? So blatant? Angel recalled that when he was a child, those who tried to curry favor with old Viscount Pat sometimes couldn't get through the direct route, so they came to bribe him and Lyon in a roundabout way. Therefore, he has been well versed in the tricks since he was a child, but it was others who bribed him, and he never bribed others.
Angel carefully took out a magic crystal from his pocket and placed it in the palm of the old man with pigtails.
After the old man with pigtails took it, he was about to brush it on the machine beside him, but suddenly he felt that the feel was wrong. He looked at the thing in his hand carefully, and his eyes widened.
"Hey, little brat, why are you giving me the magic crystal?" The old man with pigtails was furious: "Are you trying to bribe me?"
Angel: Did he guess wrong? Didn't the old man with pigtails ask him for money?
The old man with pigtails shouted angrily: "You want to bribe me with a magic crystal? Don't even think about it!"
Angel: It seems that there are not enough magic crystals?
"No! No matter how many magic crystals you give me, I won't be bribed! Unless you help me find the collector's edition of this book!" The old man with pigtails looked mighty and unyielding, and then picked up the book on the table.
Only then did Angell see the name of the book clearly: "Cool Summer".
What's important is not the title of the book, but the two indescribable ** girls on the cover.
Angell:...Shameless old man!
After some explanation, Angell finally explained his intention to the old man with pigtails.
"So you are a newcomer who has just been promoted." The old man with pigtails stroked his beard, with a compassionate face: "I asked you to take the information card, not to ask you to bribe."
The old man with pigtails said with a smile, and he took the magic crystal that Angel gave him into his arms without shame.
"This magic crystal is just a small lesson for you. Young people, you must learn some lessons to avoid making mistakes."
Angell's hand hidden in his robe clenched into a fist.
"Give it here, your information card."
Angel resisted the urge to hit someone and handed the information card to the old man with pigtails. After the old man took it and carefully checked it, he suddenly looked at Angel with strange eyes.
Even though he was wearing a wizard robe, Angel still felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
This old man is not simple. This thought flashed through Angel's mind. Just the look in his eyes made him feel uncomfortable. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Hehe." The old man with pigtails laughed a few times: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be you."
"Senior, do you know me?"
"No, but I know you. Melansha has a good impression of you."
Melansha is the director of the Sky Tower. He can call Melansha "little girl", which shows that the status of this old man is only high, not low.
Angel wondered: Don't these senior executives have anything to do on weekdays? Why did they all come to the lottery area to guest star?
While Angel was thinking, the old man with pigtails swiped the information card on the machine next to him and returned the information to Angel.
"Are you sure we should draw now?" The old man with pigtails picked up the lottery box and shook it, and a few sporadic voices came from the box, "Did you hear that? There are not many players in the pool right now. Since Melantha is optimistic about you, I can give you some inside information..."
"There are only thirteen players in the pool right now... Eight of them have their points on the ranking list."
After the old man with pigtails finished speaking, he pointed to the poster behind him. On the poster was a table recording the ranking list of the thirteenth floor of the Sky Tower.
The so-called ranking table is actually the meaning of the ranking list. However, the ranking here is not based on strength, but on total points.
The ranking table lists the top 50 players in this level. Although points do not represent strength, being able to obtain high points also reflects personal strength to a certain extent.
The current ranking table of the 13th floor of the Sky Tower is 197 points for the first place, 154 points for the second place, and 47 points for the third place.
Angel looked at this ranking table and frowned slightly.
He remembered that only 45 points were required for promotion. All the players on the ranking table had passed the required score for promotion, but none of them chose to promote.
"The strength of the last three levels is not much different, so it doesn't matter whether they promote or not. If you are on the ranking table, you will receive a contribution point every month, and promotion will eliminate the current points, so many people simply don't promote." The old man with pigtails explained.
"I see."
"Now you know, most of the people in the pool are on the ranking list." The old man with pigtails smiled: "With your personal strength, even with alchemical weapons, it will be difficult to continue."
"Thank you for the reminder, I still want to rank." Angel said.
"It's up to you." The old man with pigtails handed the lottery box to Angel.
Angel reached in to choose, and there were indeed few balls to choose from as the old man with pigtails said.
Angel took out a ball at random, numbered: ooo539.
Soon, a line of words appeared on the transparent screen in front of the old man with pigtails: "Milk Baron vs. Wasteland Warrior"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that you are unlucky. You met a player on the ranking list as soon as you came." The old man with pigtails shook his head.
Wasteland Warrior, 37th on the ranking list, 69 points.
This Wasteland Warrior, in David's information sheet, is a second-level apprentice who has merged the blood of the Earth Fire Salamander. The defense is very high. Angell estimated that ordinary golden arrows would not be able to break the defense...
"I need to draw lots again." Angell said.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
The old man with pigtails did not speak. Looking at Angell's very confident expression, he felt a little doubtful. He had just used special magic to look at Angell's whole body. Apart from the alchemical weapon on his wrist, there was no other means worthy of praise... Why is he so sure of victory?
"Okay, I look forward to your...means." The old man with pigtails thought that Angell was just courting death. If Sanders hadn't been standing behind him, he would not have bothered to mention it: "You continue to draw lots. According to the agreement between you and Melantha, the interval between the two games is 5 minutes, but because there are too few people in the pool, this agreement can only be temporarily invalidated. The specific time of your game will be rearranged when you come here tomorrow morning."
"Draw now." The old man with pigtails put the lottery box in front of Angell.
The second game: "Milk Baron vs. Dark Night Twilight"
Dark Night Twilight is still a player on the ranking list, ranked 41st, with 61 points.
Angel pondered Dark Night Twilight's information for a while. It seems that he is also a second-level apprentice on the bloodline side. It is not clear what bloodline he has merged with. He only knows that his body movements are swift and unsteady.
Angel thought to himself: Is Toby as fast as he is?
"I still need to draw lots." Angel said to the old man with pigtails.
The old man with pigtails narrowed his eyes and finally shook his head: "Your points are zero now. Giving you two chances to draw lots is already the bottom line. If you want to play more games every day, at least you should have a base of points first."
What the old man with pigtails said is also right. He currently has zero points. There is a ranking list for the points of the third level of death. If he loses once and gets negative points, why should others help you continue to rank?
Also, if he was killed in the first game.
Then wouldn't the second game be a free gift of points to others.
This is not good for the Sky Tower itself. If you don't show your strength, why should others help you blindly?
Thinking of this, Angel did not argue and nodded to accept.
"Before you leave, I still say, don't die." Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to Sanders... The old man with pigtails muttered the remaining half of the sentence in his heart.
"Thank you, senior."
"Don't call me senior, my name is Baroque."
...
Although the outside world calls the last three floors of the Sky Tower the third level of death, as if you must go through the third level of death to reach the top.
But for Angel, it is not three levels, but two levels. His goal is to reach the top. Once he reaches the fifteenth floor, he will not have to continue to participate in the battle. In other words, Angel only needs to face the players on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors.
For Angel, these are the last two floors, so many hidden means should be used.
Toby has also practiced various cooperation with him these days, and it's time to take him out for a stroll!
