138: Chapter 138 Giant Multiplier

He tapped it open to see that it recorded the detailed rules for this Continental Carnival, his remaining personal points were clear at a glance, and there was also a Points Shop.

The student carefully studied the rules, and the more he read, the more terrified he became.

The main reason was the section describing how to obtain points.

Although currently, there were only two ways to obtain points: providing Monster information and killing Monsters.

But when the Continental Carnival officially begins, there will be one more rule for obtaining points.

At that time, both sides can choose between the Fugitives and Hunters factions.

As long as they are still alive, the Fugitives' points will increase by 5 every hour.

And for the Hunters, every time they kill a Fugitive, they can gain 5 points.

Regardless of which faction, as long as they kill someone from the opposing faction, they can obtain all of the other party's points.

Combined with the value of the points... there is no doubt that when the Continental Carnival officially begins, the surroundings will inevitably turn into a bloody purgatory.

Thinking of the tragic scene to come in the future, the student's fingers trembled slightly as he opened the Points Shop.

In an instant, his eyes widened, and his face was full of shock.

"Holy crap... what, what is all this?!"

He couldn't help but exclaim, his gaze scanning the dazzling array of items in the Points Shop, his heartbeat accelerating involuntarily.

Handguns, alloy blades, standard-issue rifles, anti-material sniper rifles... these powerful pieces of equipment that one could usually only see in movies or fantasies were now clearly displayed before his eyes.

And most of them were ridiculously cheap!

For example, a set of exoskeleton armor only cost 10 points!

He glanced at the wide array of military equipment inside, then looked at his pitiful 0-point balance, and swallowed hard.

Anyone with a bit of foresight could see that if they, as ordinary people, wanted to increase their chances of survival in this Continental Carnival, they had to arm themselves to the teeth as soon as possible.

His gaze fell on the instructions in the app regarding how to obtain points.

Currently, it was the warm-up Monster Hunting activity, so killing a Monster was out of the question for him for now.

But as long as the Monster information provided was confirmed to be correct, he could gain 10 points. Even if it wasn't successful, it still counted as ruling out the suspicion of a Monster being there, so at least there wouldn't be any losses.

"Anyway, reporting it won't hurt, and I might even make a big profit."

He saw the prominent button in the app to send Monster coordinates and pressed it without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, many students studying the rules in the air-raid shelters had the same idea.

...

"Branch President, we just received many coordinate signals, all coming from an air-raid shelter two kilometers away from Third Hope Middle School. Should we send a reconnaissance plane to confirm?"

Inside the G District Hero Association command center, a staff member was reporting the situation in real-time.

"Hmm, proceed." The Branch President nodded slightly.

"Wait."

Wan Chaoren, who was also staring intently at the data on the large monitoring screen, spoke up, "Directly deploy the A-Rank criminal Giant-Multiplier Man to the designated area."

The Branch President was stunned upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Wasn't Giant-Multiplier Man originally planned to be one of the finale Monsters, only appearing tomorrow? The activity has only just begun, and preparations like airdropping supplies aren't even ready yet. If those ordinary citizens run into Giant-Multiplier Man, they won't have the slightest ability to resist."

Giant-Multiplier Man was originally an A-Rank Transcendent, but he had been stripped of his legal status and imprisoned in the Prison City for killing his own kind.

This time, the G District Hero Association proposed that as long as he could accumulate a certain number of points during this Monster Hunting activity and survive to the end, he could regain his freedom.

Besides Giant-Multiplier Man, other Transcendent criminals would also participate in this activity in the guise of Monsters.

This proposal was made by Wang Puchuan, who felt that arranging only one Monster would make the activity too monotonous and difficult to sustain for the two-day warm-up period.

After all, asking ordinary people with no Special Ability to kill Monsters was clearly unrealistic.

The real highlight of the Monster faction lay in the mutual slaughter between Monsters.

Through the coordinates exposed by ordinary citizens, Monsters could easily learn each other's locations, thereby finding each other and earning those high kill points.

And the Hero Association could also logically get rid of some prisoners who were heinous but hadn't yet reached the standard for the death penalty according to the Transcendent Law.

As for the citizen faction, the gameplay was to cleverly maneuver around areas where Monsters appeared and try to survive.

The button to send coordinates could only be used once an hour, meaning ordinary citizens had a chance to gain 10 points every hour.

What they had to do was constantly search for traces of Monsters in various areas, strive to earn points, and make full preparations for the upcoming official activity.

Although Monsters didn't get points for killing ordinary citizens, they were, after all, brutal criminals who could even kill their own Transcendent kind; expecting them not to do anything was impossible.

Therefore, ordinary citizens wanting to obtain points would face great risks.

However, if someone was lucky enough to hold out until the last day, they might be able to save up enough points to summon a hero to fight.

At that time, they could use the power of the hero to earn Monster kill points.

Facing the Branch President's questioning, Wan Chaoren just smiled slightly without over-explaining: "I want everyone to get into the state quickly and understand the rules. Besides, the criminals acting as Monsters aren't short of this one, right?"

Looking at Wan Chaoren's smile, the Branch President shivered and hurriedly said: "You're right. Let's deploy Giant-Multiplier Man into the activity now."

Upon hearing the order, the staff member became instantly focused, his hands dancing rapidly across the console.

At this moment, high above the barrier outside C City, a massive, giant unmanned helicopter, as large as a moving castle, was hovering silently.

The rear hatch of the helicopter slowly opened, emitting a low and heavy sound.

Immediately after, a uniquely shaped mechanical pod slowly emerged from the hatch.

It adjusted its angle slightly in the air for a moment, then launched directly toward the pre-set coordinate position.

The mechanical pod broke through with unstoppable force, plunging directly into the transparent barrier that shrouded the entire C City.

It shot straight toward the designated air-raid shelter area. During the high-speed flight, the shackles on the outer layer of the mechanical pod fell off like snowflakes, making crisp clanging sounds.

Locked inside the mechanical pod was a bald giant, three meters tall.

As the shackles fell away, he slowly opened his bloodthirsty eyes, his tone full of excitement: "Hunting time has arrived."
