216: Intervention data rules

Chapter 216: Intervening in Datafication Rules

Lu Ran was determined to win this battle!

Liu Xinxin had said that the championship reward this time was extremely generous and a must-have.

Although he didn't know what it was specifically, Lu Ran certainly wouldn't give up.

Furthermore,

There was no possibility of him losing; he just needed to perform as usual.

The spectators were incredibly enthusiastic, and as the two entered the arena, cheers instantly erupted throughout the venue!

Countless fans of Lu Ran clamored and shouted, vying with each other.

There were even many new banners about Lu Ran.

Some of these banners even directly displayed the words 'Champion Lu Ran'.

In contrast, Zhang Zheng was unremarkable, and no one paid him any attention.

Although they were the last two in the finals, with equal status, Zhang Zheng seemed more like a sparring partner.

A green leaf meant to ultimately set off Lu Ran, the fresh flower.

This made Zhang Zheng's mind extremely unbalanced; although he feigned composure, his expression was inevitably somewhat distorted and twisted.

On the stage,

Zhang Zheng immediately couldn't hold back.

He looked at Lu Ran mockingly and said, "The last battle, the championship, will definitely be mine."

Lu Ran glanced at him.

He couldn't be bothered to respond, but still replied, "Alright, alright, you do your best."

Then,

Lu Ran looked at the sky around him.

He had noticed it when he first came out.

Dark clouds had begun to appear in the sky around the entire Imperial Capital, as if the weather was about to change.

But strangely, the sky above the Imperial Capital was unaffected.

Only a slight breeze seemed to begin to blow.

Lu Ran had been in the lounge just now, so he didn't know about the Monster Siege. At this moment, he was just a little puzzled.

Below the stage,

Amidst countless cheers, Lu Ran's appearance attracted everyone's attention.

It seemed that no one was even paying attention to the impending Monster Siege.

The major factions were also closely watching the final arena, waiting for the champion to emerge.

The leaders on the stage had even begun to prepare their final speeches, and the awards ceremony was also being prepared.

This was normal.

Because no matter who ultimately won the championship, the awards ceremony would proceed as normal; only the person receiving the award would be different.

At a seating area below the stage,

There weren't many people.

Cen Yu Nuo sat at the very front, with the young woman who had spoken to Cen Yu Nuo beside her.

"This is..."

Cen Yu Nuo suddenly said, "Lu Ran has already noticed the anomaly caused by the Monster Siege, but he still doesn't seem to know exactly what it is."

The young woman looked around.

She asked, "What Level Monster Siege?"

Cen Yu Nuo casually replied, "Level 4."

Level 4 difficulty meant that the monsters appearing were all Level 40, with a maximum of Level 50.

Elites and bosses were likely Level 45.

Even if there were fluctuations, they wouldn't be too exaggerated, and the difference wouldn't be significant.

At the same time,

A Level 4 difficulty Monster Siege was also the highest difficulty experienced by all main cities in Dragon Xia.

But even with monsters in their forties, it was no wonder they called this a benefit.

"Not enough." The young woman shook her head.

Cen Yu Nuo was startled and looked at the young woman.

"Don't you really want to see Lu Ran's rampage and his other abilities? This is a good opportunity, but at Level 4 difficulty, Lu Ran most likely won't act, and even if he does, it'll be minor, because he needs experience, but monsters in their forties, even with five times experience, probably aren't very appealing to him, right?" the young woman continued.

Cen Yu Nuo seemed to understand something.

She pondered, "You mean to increase the difficulty?"

The young woman nodded.

She said, "That's what I mean."

Cen Yu Nuo hesitated slightly.

After thinking for a moment,

She then continued to ask, "Then to what Level should it be raised? Is it not good to intervene in the datafication rules now?"

"There's nothing to worry about, as long as nothing unexpected happens, and with Lu Ran here, nothing unexpected can happen," the young woman said.

"Alright, then, raise it to Level 5?" Cen Yu Nuo said, gritting her teeth.

"Level 5 difficulty is indeed very high, and high-level professionals won't be enough, so Lu Ran will definitely act, but it's still not explosive enough." The young woman shook her head.

Cen Yu Nuo was greatly startled.

She exclaimed, "Level 6 difficulty? This... if something goes wrong, it'll be terrible. Once the Monster Siege begins, the teleportation arrays in the main city will become ineffective, and we won't be able to get outside help. If the main city is breached, everyone here will die. You should know the horror of Level 6 difficulty!"

The young woman, on the contrary, was much more relaxed than Cen Yu Nuo.

She shrugged and said, "Level 6 difficulty is certainly terrifying, but as I said before, with Lu Ran here, no accidents will happen. At worst, I will intervene. Let's go with Level 6."

Hearing her say that, Cen Yu Nuo calmed herself down.

She nodded and said, "Since you put it that way, then let's do it. The experience from Level 6 difficulty is incredibly exaggerated, and Lu Ran happens to need experience. The National War in a few days will also be even more exciting. I'm really looking forward to it."

After speaking,

Cen Yu Nuo said, "Let's wait until the finals are over. I still want to watch this match. There's enough time for the Monster Siege. When the time comes, I'll intervene in the rules to increase the difficulty."

Their conversation was inaudible to others.

If others had heard it, they would most likely have thought these two were a bit crazy.

Intervening in datafication rules, modifying rules—what kind of ability was that?

It was terrifying!

On the stage, Lu Ran and Zhang Zheng faced each other.

The match was about to begin.

Zhang Zheng listened to the commotion from the surrounding spectators, still feeling unconvinced and somewhat twisted inside.

So he couldn't help but make one last taunt: "I know your abilities are strong, and you don't think I'll be your opponent, but you don't really think the methods I used against Cong Shuang were all my abilities, do you? No way, right?"

Lu Ran looked at Zhang Zheng with a gaze as if he were looking at an idiot.

With such a disposition, personality, and twisted mindset, what was there to worry about with such an opponent?

So he casually said, "I don't know all your abilities, and that has nothing to do with me. I don't care. Also, you know my abilities? I'm an Undead Mage. Have you seen my summoned creatures?"

Ah, this...

A decisive blow!

Zhang Zheng was instantly silenced.

In terms of abilities, he had already displayed a portion, although he had hidden some, and Lu Ran indeed didn't know about them.

But in contrast, his understanding of Lu Ran's abilities was pitiful!

As an Undead Mage, Lu Ran had yet to show any summoned undead creatures, which was the strangest part!

The only thing visible was Lu Ran's Blood Spear!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but steady himself, admonishing himself inwardly to fight carefully and not give Lu Ran any chance!

It would be best to win the match directly at the start, without giving Lu Ran a chance to act, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand that Blood Spear!

"Then let's speak with true skill," Zhang Zheng mused.

"It should have been like this long ago. You've been rambling for a while, and I just couldn't be bothered to respond to you," Lu Ran said unceremoniously.

There was no need to be polite to such a character.

The next second,

"Time's up, the match begins!" the host shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zheng

Without hesitation, he instantly raised the whip in his hand.

"My weapon is called the Immortal Binding Rope! In this battle, I will surely win!" Zhang Zheng roared.
