I'm not a drama god

Chapter 792 Torch

On the old platform, this slowly moving light and shadow immediately attracted the attention of several people.

The man was wearing a fluorescent robe, which was extremely conspicuous under the light of the kerosene lamp, like a glowing light bulb. On his chest and back, there were two white numbers "17", and a work badge was hung on his chest.

"I'm the referee for this trial, number 17." The man glanced at everyone, took out a few forms from his arms, held a pen in his other hand, and spoke again, "Are you all here to participate in the trial? Tell me your names."

"Lin Yan."

"Jane is healthy."

"..."

After everyone reported their names, the referee matched the names on the form with the black-and-white photos one by one. The backgrounds of those photos were all in the office, and they appeared to have been secretly taken when they submitted the registration forms, to prevent the registrants from not matching the actual participants and causing cheating by stand-ins.

After confirming the identities of the people, the referee nodded slightly:

"There is still one hour and twenty-five minutes until the competition officially begins. Next, I will set a starting point for each of you. You need to walk there by yourself. When the fireworks go off at twelve o'clock, it will be considered the start."

"Original location?"

"In order to prevent participants from forming groups in advance and affecting the fairness of the competition, we will set a starting point for everyone. Some members of organizations with official backgrounds will also be deliberately separated." The referee said calmly, "At the same time, during this competition, no more than three people are allowed to travel together. Once discovered, they will be warned for the first time, and will be disqualified for the second time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling felt deeply moved that the five major realms were indeed serious this time. Not only did they not give any preferential treatment to their own official organizations, but they deliberately weakened their advantages and left opportunities to civilians... From a human perspective, they were too thirsty for fresh blood.

"This battle will last for 48 hours, during which time you can use any method to reduce the number of people participating in the battle.

In addition, we have hidden a 'secret palace' in the old district, which contains a 'privilege'. This 'privilege' will be related to the final fight for the [Tongtian Star Position] and will bring great advantages to the owner.

When the countdown enters the final three hours, seven Starlight Thrones will rise in the old district. When the countdown ends, the seven people sitting on the Starlight Thrones will become candidates for the [Sky Star Position].

The referee used the most concise language to first summarize the requirements of this competition, and then calmly asked:

"Do you understand everything?"

"clear."

"Now, you can take the kerosene lamp and set off."

The referee marked the initial positions of everyone present on a map. After everyone made note of it, they walked out from behind the station, holding kerosene lamps, and dispersed towards the dark old district.

Jian Changsheng held a kerosene lamp and walked side by side with Chen Ling in the abandoned city. The hazy starlight seemed to sprinkle a light white frost on the road. At the end of the street in the distance, the faint light of other kerosene lamps could be seen, like fireflies, walking silently.

"Don't mention it, this is quite an atmosphere." In the darkness, Jian Changsheng seemed a little excited, "If I can get that [Tongtian Star Position], I can change my luck... From now on, I will say goodbye to this fucked up life."

"Then come on."

"...Why are you so cold?"

"In the script, people who usually say lines like this don't survive more than three episodes."

"..." Jian Changsheng gritted his teeth, "No, you have no interest in this star position at all?"

"A little, but not much." Chen Ling smiled slightly, "Rather than the result of snatching it, I would rather enjoy the process... This kind of stage that gathers all the Shinto geniuses is rare in a century."

"What a pervert."

Jian Changsheng rolled his eyes, and he and Chen Ling stopped at a crossroads.

"My initial position is here, what about you?"

"In the opposite direction from you."

"Okay, let's split up." Jian Changsheng was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, if you run into that bitch from Diamond 6, remember to give him a good beating for me!"

"..."

Chen Ling did not answer, but just waved her hand and walked into the darkness.

For some reason, the organizer seemed to think that he and Jian Changsheng were companions, and specially set their starting locations far apart. It took Chen Ling a full twenty minutes to reach his own location.

It was an abandoned residential building with about seven floors. From the outside, it looked like an old neighborhood before the catastrophe, but now the facade was already dilapidated... When Chen Ling saw this scene, she felt like she was in a disaster doomsday movie.

The light of the kerosene lamp illuminated the dilapidated stairs. Chen Ling walked up step by step. After reaching the top of the building, she looked around...

Within his field of vision, he saw the glow of two kerosene lamps, one on the residential building opposite him and the other on the street not far away.

After Chen Ling appeared, the kerosene lamp on the street went out first. It should be that the person noticed that there were two competitors around and felt a little dangerous, so he turned off his own light source first and completely disappeared into the darkness to avoid being killed and eliminated at the beginning.

On the other hand, the kerosene lamp on the building opposite Chen Ling was still bright, and it seemed that the man was somewhat confident in his own strength.

When Chen Ling saw this scene, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"The strong show their fangs, while the weak hide in the darkness... Although it is the most reasonable approach, it is too conventional."

Everyone wants to survive to the end and compete for those seven positions, so at the beginning, everyone will be more conservative... But Chen Ling is different. What he wants is not the final result, but to earn enough expected value in a short period of time.

Currently, his audience expectation is still stuck at 51%, but if he wants to be reborn safely and restore his arm, he needs an expectation of at least 70%...

After all, it is difficult to survive in this arena full of monsters and geniuses with just one hand.

A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Ling's narrowed eyes.

He held the kerosene lamp in his hand and suddenly clenched it. Strands of electric light flickered on it. The next moment, a raging flame blew the kerosene lamp into pieces!

boom--! !

A crisp explosion sounded.

A ball of hot and bright fire first rushed up into the sky from Chen Ling's position, like a candle dragon dancing in the night sky, instantly attracting the attention of all participants within a radius of dozens of kilometers!

At the same time, the participant on the building opposite Chen Ling saw the extremely arrogant fireworks, and his mouth opened unconsciously... with an expression as if he had seen a ghost!

When everyone was thinking about extinguishing the flames or protecting themselves, the fierce man on the opposite side actually led the flames up to the sky!
