Global Gamification: The Legendary Goddess of Gambit

Chapter 17 A trial with skyrocketing difficulty

When entering the secret realm, Zhou Zheng had received the task of the Dragon Tomb Trial, and the task location was at the martial arts field.

The martial arts arena is located in the center of the burial city and covers a large area.

In the center of the martial arts arena, densely packed stone figurines are arranged in a square array.

Zhou Zheng roughly counted the stone figurines and found that there were about a thousand stone figurines.

And each stone figurine, like the previous paper figurine, gives him a feeling of being alive.

The only difference is the material between the two.

Zhou Zheng observed it, if he guessed correctly.

The so-called trial is to fight these stone figurines.

So before the trial started, Zhou Zheng threw an appraisal spell at the stone figurines.

【Undead Stone Figurines】

【Level: 40】

[Occupation: Dragon Guard]

【Attributes:? ? ? 】

[Skill: Dragon Guard Formation? ? ? 】

----

Seeing the grade of these stone figurines, Zhou Zheng felt a little confident.

He crossed the fence and entered the martial arts arena, and the sound of the system sounded at the same time.

[You have entered the martial arts arena]

[Yes/No to activate Dragon Tomb Trial]

[Tip: Trials may lead to death]

"Yes!"

[Please select the trial difficulty]

[Difficult Dragon Tomb Trial (Level 60) - Reward: Union Token (Purple), 100 million experience points]

[Ordinary Dragon Tomb Trial (Level 50) - Reward: Union Token (blue), 50 experience points]

[Simple Dragon Tomb Trial (Level 40) - Reward: Union Token (green), 10 experience points]

After hearing the system prompts, Zhou Zheng murmured to himself:

"The highest difficulty level is 60? This trial looks a bit dangerous! No wonder the paper mannequin face of the previous city lord looked so gloomy."

Before parting, the city lord once said to him.

Choose the highest difficulty trial and you may get an orange piece of equipment.

Then... the city lord suffered.

Now it seems that the city lord has no good intentions.

She probably wanted to trick him into choosing the hardest difficulty with the orange equipment.

and so……

"I choose normal mode."

Zhou Zheng is still very self-aware and focuses on stability.

He is only level 21 after all.

Although there is support magic and holy armor, his true combat power is far more than that.

Choosing simple mode is a waste, but it can’t be too wasteful.

After all, this game is played at the risk of one's life, and one might die after just one wave.

After Zhou Zheng made his choice, a phalanx of stone figurines and about 100 stone figurines took action.

The movements are neat, just like art.

But as a trialist, Zhou Zheng could feel the terror of those stone figurines even more.

When they move neatly, their breath is like one person.

It seemed that Zhou Zheng was competing with a hundred stone figurines.

But in fact, what he faced was a phalanx of stone figurines.

The stone figurines did not walk directly in front of Zhou Zheng.

Instead, he took out his bow and arrow a few hundred meters away and fired a volley at Zhou Zheng.

From front to back, left and right, arrows were overwhelming.

This is definitely not because the stone figurines’ bow and arrow skills are not good.

Each stone figurine shot accurately, allowing Zhou Zheng to find no flaws.

Some of these bows and arrows were aimed at Zhou Zheng, while the rest blocked the movement around him, making it impossible for him to escape casually.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhou Zheng simply rushed forward.

Relying on his high defense, he was able to withstand the rain of arrows.

The iron arrow tip hit the armor, making a pinging sound, but there was no trace of breaking the armor.

In the face of the 500-point defense of the Holy Armor, the lethality of these bows and arrows is not enough.

Seeing this scene, the phalanx of stone figurines all put away their bows and arrows.

The left hand picked up the buckler, but the right hand failed to pick up the spear.

Instead, he is holding a cone-shaped weapon.

Zhou Zheng became curious about that kind of weapon, and by the way, he threw an identification technique at those conical weapons.

【Broken God Cone】

[Quality: Blue]

[Attack +1, forcefully break defense]

At this moment, Zhou Zheng finally met the phalanx of stone figurines.

He also got a taste of what it meant to forcefully break through defenses.

At the moment of contact, a crack opened in the phalanx of stone figurines, swallowing Zhou Zheng inside.

Although the god-breaking cone in the hand of the stone figurine cannot break the sacred armor,

But when it hit him, it caused Zhou Zheng's body inside the armor to sting from the air.

Often one attack from the stone figurines would cause a row of small numbers to float above Zhou Zheng's head.

HP-1

HP-1

……

The damage is not high, but it is still harmful.

No wonder it is called the God-breaking Cone.

This thing is specially designed to kill high-level people.

The continuous stinging pain made Zhou Zheng frown.

The long sword in his hand slashed down and landed on the neck of the nearest stone figurine.

The body of the chopped stone figurine is slightly tilted, and the same is true for other stone figurines.

It was as if Zhou Zheng's sword struck not this one stone figurine, but the entire phalanx of stone figurines.

Zhou Zheng frowned and looked at them. Isn't this too difficult?

If the defense is high, these stone figurines will take out the God-breaking Cone.

Slash them, and the damage will be directly distributed to everyone.

At this time, the tactic adopted by the stone figurine phalanx is very simple, which is to kill the opponent with hp-1.

Zhou Zheng looked at the movements of the stone figurines and seemed to be planning to completely wrap himself in the depths of the phalanx.

Make yourself unable to rush out and can only be beaten passively.

Knowing the other party's purpose, Zhou Zheng would naturally not let the other party succeed so easily.

He forced his way into the weak spot of the phalanx, creating a small crack.

Then he escaped from the phalanx along the crack.

Zhou Zheng looked at the still neat square array of stone figurines in front of him and said loudly:

"I've seen how shameless you are, and now I'll show you what I'm capable of."

[Heroic Soul Arrival] activates!

The bodies of the stone figurines present shook slightly, resisting the call of the heroic souls.

It’s okay if you don’t want to help.

This is a burial city, and ghosts are everywhere.

So Zhou Zheng looked outside the trial ground.

There was a paper man tied tightly with a rope.

Lord of the Burial City!

This guy was also brought here as a specialty.

But Zhou Zheng seemed to have forgotten to gag the paper man’s mouth.

"You bastard! Sorry for my silence!"

Amidst the mournful shouts of the city lord, a faint soul emerged from the paper man and was sucked into Zhou Zheng's body.

Zhou Zheng’s attributes soared.

He casually waved his sword and rushed forward again to fight with the phalanx of stone figurines.

This time, he used his high mobility to wander around the perimeter of the phalanx.

The long sword in his hand only slashed at the neck of the stone figurine.

After dozens of sword blows, the necks of the stone figurines in the phalanx became crooked.

Just when Zhou Zheng was secretly proud, he suddenly heard the cold voice of the system.

[Intruder detected]

[Dragon Tomb Secret Realm Attack Improvement]

[Warning: The difficulty of the secret realm increases]

[Rewards and compensation are being distributed]

[Tip: Mission rewards increased]

"It's a good thing that the rewards have been increased, but you also have to live to get them!"

Zhou Zheng complained casually, and then spit out a mouthful of blood.

The city lord in his body suddenly became fierce and out of control, causing him to be seriously injured.

The attributes have also dropped a lot.

Moreover, the army of stone figurines in front of them also became stronger.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng's opponents still only had the 100 stone figurines in front of him, and the other stone figurines had not moved yet.

And he had figured out how the stone figurines moved before, and he could still hold on at this time.

Zhou Zheng was thinking about what was going on while dealing with the opponent in front of him.

"Is there any player who got the Dragon Tomb token like me?"

"No, using the Dragon Tomb token to enter here will definitely not make the entire burial city full of aggression."

"Could it be that some players forced their way in here?"

Zhou Zheng always felt that things were not that simple.

And...the forgotten Aqua seemed to be still guarding the gate.

This worried him.

"Hope you're okay."

At this moment, it seemed that the intruder who broke into the Dragon Tomb did something again.

All the stone figurines in the martial arts field, including the few hundred characters resting on one side, flashed with a white light, as if they had become sacred.

As a result, the originally gloomy burial city became faintly sacred.

The ruthless system tone sounded again.

【Abnormal condition detected】

[Because the residents of Burial City were massacred on a large scale, the residents of Burial City were given sacred attributes]

[Warning: The difficulty of the secret realm has been greatly increased]

[Warning: The maximum difficulty of the secret realm has reached level 70, which has exceeded the maximum difficulty determined by the system]

[Tip: Task reward adjustment]

[Tip: Trial content changes]

[The location of the trial is no longer limited to the martial arts arena, and the goal of the trial is changed to escaping from the secret realm of the Dragon Tomb while being pursued by the army of stone figurines]

It seems that the system is also confused about the current situation.

It kept making a tinkling sound.

Zhou Zheng smashed his mouth, spit out the blood in his mouth, took out a bottle of recovery potion and drank it.

Then he sat up and looked at the sacred stone figurines in front of him.

Just now, he was shocked by the system prompt.

The stone figurine, who suddenly became stronger, knocked him away with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, the stone figurines in front of them silently put away the God-breaking Cone, and collectively held the spears on their backs in their hands.

Seeing the murderous look of the stone figurines, Zhou Zheng's eyelids jumped and he quickly escaped from the martial arts arena.

And, he seemed to know exactly what was going on.

Madeacqua!

Just as he was escaping, a paper man full of sacred aura stood in front of Zhou Zheng, blocking his way of escape.

Zhou Zheng looked at the blush on the paper man's body and the evil smile on his face.

He immediately recognized the other person as the city lord who ran away before.

Just bad luck!

A wry smile appeared on Zhou Zheng's face.

"My lord, please spare me!"

"Haha, wasn't your kid very crazy before? Why..."

While the city lord was speaking, Zhou Zheng slashed the city lord directly on the neck.

"Bah, labor and capital are not only crazy before, they are also crazy now! If you can't kill those guys behind you, why can't you, you loser, be killed?"

"Isn't it just that he has divine attributes and does he really think of himself as a person?"

"If the trial target hadn't changed, I would still kill those guys behind me!"

It was obvious that the city lord had been cut to the ground and could not block the way.

But Zhou Zheng still had no intention of escaping. He swung the knife in his hand repeatedly, and the city lord screamed as he cut directly.

"Is it wrong?"

"Wrong, wrong!"

Seeing that the city lord admitted his mistake, Zhou Zheng took the jade pendant from the other party's waist and walked away.
