Book 3 Chapter 5: Region Competition

Opening his eyes, Shen Yi found himself on a small hillside.

More than twenty adventurers stood on a basketball court looking at each other.

The Bloody Crest prompt came at this time as everyone looked down:

Entered the X-Men World. Current location: New York suburb.

Mission Mode: Region Competition Mode, no Main Quest.

The region ranked first, the first 15 people can survive, the remaining will be dismissed. The region ranked second, the first 10 people can survive, the remaining will be dismissed. The region ranked third, the first 5 people can survive, the remaining will be dismissed. The region ranked fourth, all adventurers will be dismissed.

The adventurer who has the highest killing points of all Regions will receive a Rank DD additional reward, 2 skill points, BP reward: 1000 x (The remaining number of adventurers of the same region). The second will receive a Rank D additional reward, 1 skill point, BP reward: 1000 x (The remaining number of adventurers of the same region -1). The one ranked third, BP reward: 1000 x (The remaining number of the region -2).

Mission Background:

This scene is the follow-up of X-Men 3: The Last Stand. In the Alcatraz battle, Magneto didnt lose his power but became more powerful. Professor X is resurrected in a new body with the help of Dr. Moira. With the new body, because of the Alcatraz fight, humans no longer trust mutants. Two years later, the US Congress formally passed The Twelfth Amendment to the US National Security Regulations.

The Twelfth Amendment provides1: All mutants, awakened and unawakened, will be required, under the supervision of the National Security Agency, to carry out identity and ability registers. All unregistered mutants are credited as criminals. 2: All registered mutants will be placed under access restrictions and gun owning restrictions. 3: The establishment of the mutant companies, associations, parties, and other enterprises or organizations will be strictly limited by number and proportion. 4: Prohibition of any community purely made by mutants or mutatis mutandis accounted up to 12% of the total number of the large-scale assembly. 5: The mutants are not allowed to hold more than 3% shares in some industries, including energy, weapons, finance, minerals, and other important industrial structures. 6: Governmental institutions in any position, scientific research, education, religion, information dissemination, a total of more than 40 industries, more than two hundred jobs are not to be open to the mutants; in some special enterprises, mutants cannot be in senior management positions. 7: For all the mutants who had violent tendencies or attack-type abilities, they must be placed under supervision and monitoring

The Twelfth Amendment caused a strong sense of resistance from the mutants. Under the leadership of Magneto, the contradiction between the mutants and human beings completely intensified, launching a war, and the entire United States became a battlefield of mutants and humankind. With the specific ability of mutants who set up their own organizations, led by Magneto, launching crazy terrorist attacks on the United States government. New York, as the main battlefield, fell into chaos. Professor X and his students, who continued to remain neutral, called for restraint

A series of information made all everyone exclaim.

Hong Lang was the one with the loudest voice, Oh, hell no! This turned out to be a whole Regional Level Competition Mode!

There were a few new people who didnt understand what the four Regions meant and asked him.

Hong Lang loudly replied, The so-called four Regions, that is, each District, is divided into four Regions of East, West, North and South. The East Region is mostly Chinese people in addition to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan with a few others at the border of Nepal, but they are too small and can basically be ignored. West Region is Europe and the United States. South Region is the rest of Asia. North Region is Africa, South America, and Australia. This mission of the four regions is to let out 25 people to participate in this competition. This is f*****g directly dismiss, the BP we kept is useless! Which is also the calculation of the regional rankings, and the calculation of personal rankings! Which Region has higher killing points, less people have to die.

Damn! Everyone cursed.

Wen Rou said, Since it calculates total killing points for the rankings, does it mean we can kill other adventurers to reduce the killing points and obtain killing points?

Jin Gang smiled, Girl, your murderous intent is so strong. But youre right, this is both a group competition and a personal contest. The only problem is that the other party will also think of this. Im afraid that if we have not thought of killing them, but they will think of killing us first.

There is a problem. Shen Yi suddenly said, We must pay attention to one thing: even if a regional value rank first, in that winning region, at least 10 people have to die. So, that means that another problem came out. On the one hand, we need to unite to fight against external enemies while also having to face internal competition.

Hearing these words, all the adventures hearts were cold.

Thats right, The Bloody City, on one hand encourages the regional competition, but on the other hand makes it so that all adventurers could not really work together. For the adventurers, their own life was always the most important. If they had the lowest killing points, it was likely to kill people whose ranking was in front of them. Through this, they promoted themselves up to the front position. But this approach undoubtedly would lead to other people to follow their footsteps. The consequences of this action was likely to lead to their regions competitive strength being greatly reduced. The aftermath would be the regional ranking falling to the last position and leading to the outcome that everyone be dismissed.

And for those adventurers at the top, they were better. The more people who survived the competition, the higher the reward they could get, and the greater the chance to become the first in total Region.

This contradiction was carefully created by The Bloody City so adventurers were conflicted between personal interests and the interests of the group. Not only did they need to beware of the other Regions, but they also needed to be beware of their own Regions adventurers.

Adventurers would no longer be able to show their back to their comrades as before.

Seeing that everyone couldnt speak, Shen Yi coldly said, So now, we all understand the intention of The Bloody City that has been made very clear. We need to win the Regional Competition, but we also need to win the Individual Competition. As for how to balance it, it depends on how we deal with this conflict.

How to deal with it? Isnt that clear? An adventurer shouted, Immediately go out. Find the mutants, kill. Met other Regions adventurers, also kill. If you see a mutant, see if youre quick and have luck. As for the other areas adventurers, everyone unite to kill them. Life or death depends on your own ability!

Some people sneered, If everyone is so simple as you think, Im afraid that when someone always ranks by the top, the people under will become anxious and do dirty things.

Especially if there are some dragging in the rankings. Some people used a tone of cynicism. The eyes of these adventurers pointed at a shocked Fatty.

He was also participating in the mission, when he saw the mission prompt, he was scared shivering.

I think we better organize and act together. An adventurer proposed, If we go kill the mutants together, the success rate will also be a little bigger. If there is any bastard who dares to harm their own people, kill him. We also have the ability to fight.

Thats a good idea.

Shen Yi coldly said, Do you know how large New York City is? Do you know how many people there is in New York and how many mutants are among them? Do you know where the mutants are located? Not to mention the three days of competition time, even if the city gives you thirty days, do you think it is enough time to let you go everywhere, walk every street here? 25 individuals acting together? Then, how many places can we go to? How many mutants can we kill? The security is there, but what about the efficiency? The other Regions only need to separate into several teams in the region at the same time and we will be thrown to the back. At that time, we dont have to move a single muscle, we just need to wait for the citys dismiss.

Everyone was stunned.

Thats right, if everyone acted together, the efficiency certainly couldnt be higher than by dividing up. If the regional killing points ranked last, even if individual killing points ranked first, their fate was still death.

Shen Yi continued, Moreover, even if this problem can be solved, the internal issue of life and death, how to solve it? The more people that are together, the greater the risk of infighting.

Everyone was silent again.

Wen Rou also said, Collective action may not be as safe as you think. Weve too many people, the target will be too obvious. Its easy to cause unnecessary attacks.

Then what should we do? Hong Lang felt a headache.

Shen Yi coldly said, Abandon all unnecessary thoughts. Since the intention of The Bloody City is to let everyone feel suspicion, then we cant escape this tribulation. Life or death, wealthy or poor, its all up to fate. Sometimes, a problem does not necessarily have a solution, the only thing we can do is to be brave and face it And this is the time.

He looked at everyone, Regional common action is impossible, but dividing into small group operations is possible. Group action, the relative safety is higher, but hunting mutants efficiency is bound to be lower. Acting in a small number, if they run into other areas adventurers, they will be at a relatively high risk. How to make the specific combinations, see for yourself. I just want to say one thing, that is, if we want to have infighting, at the very least, we have to kill the outsiders before that. With foreign enemies present, we have to first repel them!

Good! An adventurer cried out, I support this view, we freely make combinations. I, Liu Hai, first clearly say my state here. Im Chinese, I will not harm Chinese people. If my ranking is the last, then count it as my bad luck, being dismissed is my fate, but who would dare to harm their own compatriots

Then anyone who meets him, dont let that bastard get away. Some people said.

Okay, so to speak. Life and death, wealthy or poor, if you are useless, commit suicide as early as possible, dont drag others down! Shouted a group of people.

Leave some contact information. If some group is in danger, other groups can rescue them. The Chinese people have to unite!

Yes, it s a good idea. I have a flare, you can give it to everyone to make signals.

Dont dawdle, and be faster. We delayed here for a lot of time, other Regions may have already begun.

Adventurers began to introduce themselves to each other, combined into teams and established contact information. Some people who have heard of Shen Yi tried to join his team, but Shen Yi refused.

Hong Lang and Jin Gang came to Shen Yi. Jin Gang said, Do you not intend to pick a few?

Shen Yi shook his head, We have enough members.

Hong Lang laughed, Fewer people is also good, unfamiliar ones are hard to trust.

At the beginning, others should also be able to trust each other, and may also help each other with cooperation. But on the last day, someone will be anxious. The Chinese unite, if this slogan was used in a national crisis, itd be very good, but in this place, its effect is limited. After all, because this is personal survival rather than the fate of the country. Of course, it still has a little effect, at least early on, but as long as there is mouse shit, a pot of porridge will be trashed.

Wen Rou walked over, What do you mean

Shen Yi laughed, Having cat ears is good, even standing so far you can still hear us speak.

Wen Rou blushed as she fiercely kicked toward Shen Yi, Who are you saying has cat ears?

Shen Yi smiled and escaped, Its very simple, first of all, we form a team. Secondly, in any case, to ensure that we are in the regions top 10. Then, we must ensure our Region is in the total regional rankings as first or second. Finally, when the time comes for the final countdown, no one but our own members can be trusted, including those adventurers who are not ranked in the list of dismissal.

Wen Rou and them looked at each other while nodding.

At this moment, someone suddenly scrambled over, Can I join you?
