487: Hidden information within the monster fragments! Break the record for clearing the game!

“Clang! It really hasn't started yet!” Su Lie jumped in surprise.

He speculated that the participants who had already died before the start of the competition must have walked directly out of the starting point, fallen into the void, and been formatted by the data.

Because the area they were currently in was a digital zone.

The organizers had already made this clear before the competition.

He waited until the prompt disappeared.

Only then did he walk step by step into the maze.

At this moment, Qingfeng in the VIP section watched Su Lie’s movements on a small screen in front of her, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly: “This boy isn’t bad; he’s cautious and vigilant enough!”

At this stage, every audience member can pay to view the live stream of their preferred contestant clearing the stage.

Of course, they could also watch the selected highlights on the main screen.

Reap, sitting next to Qingfeng, couldn't help but softly agree: “That’s right, my Lady! However, the rules of the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition are different every time! Many participants this time acted according to the rules of the previous session and all ended up falling into the trap!”

He was also paying attention to Su Lie.

At the same time, there were five other screens in his field of vision.

These were five participants from the Xuntian Clan.

However, these five were not in the Tier 1 competition area but in the higher-tier competition area where the rewards were more generous.

Most of the audience in the venue were checking the progress of the higher-tier competition area.

Although Su Lie was also listed among those receiving more attention.

This was also due to Qingfeng’s rule-breaking behavior before the opening, which attracted the attention of many races.

Qingfeng turned her head and glanced at Reap: “the rules are constantly changing! This is not something any life form can know in advance! Since we entered the Mist World, haven’t we been advancing blindly every step of the way?”

“Whatever situation participants encounter on the field, they must rely on their insight, perception, cognition, and many other aspects!”

“If they can’t even judge the first step, what qualifications do they have to move on to the next one?”

After speaking, Qingfeng immediately praised: “Look at Su Lie of my race! Although he is the only human in the Tier 1 competition area this time, his actions are commendable!”

“Especially upon entering an unfamiliar environment, he doesn’t just run toward the first door he sees like a simpleton from the Ox Clan! You have to observe the surrounding environment!”

The Ox Clan expert next to her turned pale at her words.

This Ox Clan expert trembled with rage but dared not lash out, only enduring the humiliation.

Qingfeng glanced at the other party, sneered, and then looked at the expert of the Qingqiu Fox Clan not far away: “You also need to understand what you are doing now! What you need! What you should do next…”

“Of course! Thinking too much is also not good!”

“Take the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, for example! They are too clever, and their cleverness backfired. Even though they knew there was no path beneath their feet, they wanted to jump into the maze. Isn’t that seeking death?”

“Doesn’t she know this is digital space? Doesn’t she know that walking randomly can lead to spatial formatting, turning them into digital fodder!”

This caused the Qingqiu Fox Clan expert to quickly close her eyes. Although she was extremely unwilling, the Tier 1 challenger of their race was truly too damn idiotic.

Subsequently, Qingfeng proceeded to point out the flaws of the other races sitting around her.

This immediately caused the expressions of all the races to change.

Reap next to her hadn't expected Qingfeng to disregard the various races so openly.

He asked, completely confused: “My Lady! Aren’t you making enemies for Su Lie? When he reaches the second or even the third stage, that’s where anonymous spending happens! If a race trips him up then, wouldn’t Su Lie die unjustly!”

“What is there to fear! If you have the ability, then come at him! If Su Lie dies in a legitimate competition, I will accept my loss! If he wins, he will be a hero of the new generation! Such a person is exactly who I, Qingfeng, favor!”

Not only did Qingfeng not reply quietly, but she responded loudly and cheerfully.

This made the various races grind their teeth in anger, wishing they could immediately spend money to set obstacles for Su Lie.

Reap of the Xuntian Clan’s eyes spun after hearing this; he seemed to understand something, and immediately began criticizing the surrounding races.

Before long, Reap was severely beaten by a Xingtian Clan warrior who could no longer tolerate him.

Although he did not die, he was left half-dead.

And that Xingtian Clan warrior was thrown into the Virtual Street prison for violating the rules and fined 10 million Mist Points as a penalty.

Reap, bruised and swollen, looked at Qingfeng and said, almost crying: “My Lady Qingfeng! I just don’t understand! Why is it fine when you criticize them, but I get beaten up! I’m furious!”

Although he resented the other party.

But the Xuntian Clan simply could not defeat the Xingtian Clan.

He could only settle for verbal venting.

Qingfeng glanced at Reap mockingly, and immediately swapped seats with the person next to her: “Damn it! I don’t make friends with idiots!”

“Ah!” Reap was stunned, feeling deeply insulted. That feeling of despair left him disheartened: “I’m not an idiot!”

At this moment, a Rabbit Clan expert next to him whispered to Reap: “My Lord! Don’t forget! Hall Master Qingfeng is an envoy of the rules, and her backer is a top-tier powerhouse!”

“Anyone who dares to attack her without legitimate reason is offending the rules! They will definitely suffer divine retribution! Even their race will be punished!”

“But behind you is only the Xuntian Clan. Weak races dare not provoke you, but do you think powerful races wouldn’t dare to strike?”

Reap suddenly realized after hearing this, and he slapped himself twice: “I damn well thought too highly of myself as a big shot!”

As he spoke, he slapped himself twice, *pa pa pa*.

Immediately after, Reap said to the surrounding powerful races: “Everyone, I apologize!...”

... At this point, Su Lie had successively passed the log bridge, the plum blossom stakes, and the trap zone.

He was walking very easily toward the depths of the maze.

When he walked to a cross intersection.

“Howl!” Suddenly, a savage bull composed of countless digits rushed at him from behind.

When Su Lie looked, he saw a health bar above the savage bull’s head.

【Savage Bull, HP 1 billion; Damage: 10 billion;】

Seeing this, he shifted his stance and threw a punch at the charging savage bull.

He didn't use any Fighting technique for this punch.

Instead, it was a genuine head-on collision!

Crash! The moment the punch connected with the savage bull, the bull dissolved into a sky full of digits.

Su Lie did not gain any experience points.

However, Su Lie saw an indicative arrow within the scattered digits.

The arrow flashed and disappeared.

He felt something instinctively and continued walking in the direction indicated by the arrow.

When he arrived at the next intersection.

Another saber-toothed tiger condensed from digits pounced toward him.

【Saber-toothed Tiger, HP 1 billion; Damage: 30 billion;】

Poof! By the time Su Lie saw the saber-toothed tiger’s attribute bar, his fist had already struck the saber-toothed tiger.

This time, he once again saw a very concealed arrow.

This made Su Lie’s eyes light up, as if he had found a way to quickly clear the stage: “So this maze isn’t impossible to navigate! As long as you kill these digital monsters, you can see the guidance marker!”

“What a pity! These digital life forms don’t grant experience points!”

Just like this, Su Lie quickly passed through one intersection after another.

He was getting closer and closer to the maze exit.

At this moment, the powerful experts of the various races who were paying attention to Su Lie were all surprised.

The Xingtian Clan expert found the competition referee, pointed at Su Lie in the image, and solemnly said: “My Xingtian Clan demands an explanation! Why does this guy seem to know the layout of the maze, accurately walking in the correct direction every single time!”

“And isn’t his strength somewhat excessive?”

“Our race’s Tier 1 participant needs to use at least two Skills to kill one digital savage beast, so why does he only need one punch! And it was a seemingly effortless punch!”

These words caused some races who hadn't been carefully watching Su Lie’s progress to also turn their attention to him.

Immediately after, several other races voiced their opinions.

Qingfeng found this amusing, but did not speak.

Just like this, more than a thousand powerful races raised objections.

After hearing everyone’s objections, the referee immediately activated the mist rule for review.

Finally, a prompt appeared on the big screen.

【Buzz!】

【Tier 1 participant Human Su Lie has not committed any rule-breaking actions or cheating behavior! His current level is 73, which meets the selection requirements for Tier 1 participants of the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition!】

【Therefore, regarding the objections raised by the Xingtian Clan, ... Archangel Race, Skeleton Race, totaling 1091 races, the mist rule rules that the objections are invalid!】

【According to the competition rules, the experts from the Xingtian Clan... Archangel Race, and Skeleton Race, totaling 1091 races who raised objections, are each penalized 100 million Mist Points.

These points will be awarded to Su Lie as an extra reward after he completes all the competitions!】

【If Su Lie dies during the competition, the proceeds from this penalty will be distributed to the event organizers!】

【Note: This ruling is a mist rule ruling!】

【Note: This ruling adheres to the principle of fairness and justice. No race shall raise further objections, or it will be deemed provocation against the rules and subject to severe punishment!】

... After the experts saw the mist rule ruling, their expressions changed involuntarily.

They stared blankly for a few seconds.

Only then did they sit down, full of unwillingness.

Just then, a dazzling light burst forth on the big screen.

Immediately after, salutes rang out across the venue.

For a moment, everyone looked toward the main screen of the venue.

They heard a grand and excited voice ring out.

“Everyone! Let us cheer for the Tier 1 participant Human Su Lie! Congratulations to Su Lie for successfully becoming the first person to clear the first stage of this Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition!”

“Su Lie’s total time this time was 30 minutes and 01 seconds.”

“Today we jointly witnessed a Human refreshing the historical clearing record for the Great Maze Escape stage!”

“Oh my God! This is simply unbelievable!”

... Accompanied by the host’s enthusiastic voice.

Qingfeng was stunned, and she couldn't help but curse under her breath: “Holy crap! You boy are too outstanding! Wasn’t I just utterly stupid moments ago!”

She regretted causing trouble for Su Lie.

Originally, according to her plan, Su Lie should have cleared the stage in about three hours, ranking in the top 10 or 50...

After all, Su Lie was not primarily a warrior, but a Refiner.

The reason she caused trouble for Su Lie was specifically to allow him to receive more rewards.

Now Su Lie had actually broken the clearing record for the Virtual Street Great Maze Escape.

This made her restless!

Because such an outstanding talent was an object that all races must target.

At that time, it wouldn't just be the races she had just criticized that would attack Su Lie.

All races in the entire venue would spend money to set obstacles for Su Lie.

And the races she offended would spare no expense to ensure Su Lie died on the competition grounds.

“This kid probably won’t hate me, right!”

Qingfeng pondered silently: “It’s fine! It’s fine! Who told him to be so outstanding! They would deal with him sooner or later anyway, so it doesn’t hurt to have me draw a little extra hatred for him!”

Just as she was thinking, the self-important Reap suddenly laughed: “Haha! See that! You are all trash! Su Lie is the true god in my heart! His light only proves your inferiority and baseness!”

He had previously grasped Qingfeng’s purpose in drawing hatred for Su Lie.

Now he actively spoke out, even taking a step ahead of Qingfeng.

This was to help Qingfeng deepen the hatred of the various races.

Sure enough, after he said this, the eyes of the experts from all races looking at the screen changed.

At the same time, a page showing the Tier 1 competition area clearing time ranking appeared on the big screen.

The first place was clearly Su Lie.

Second place was Aska, with a time of 2 hours and 14 minutes... The time difference between this second place and Su Lie was about an hour and a half.

The venue instantly fell into an inexplicable silence.

【Buzz!】 Immediately after, the audience saw a change in the reward value next to Su Lie’s name, who was ranked first on the popular contestant leaderboard in the live reward section.

Because only Su Lie had cleared the stage at this stage, there were only rewards and bets concerning Su Lie listed here.

“Everyone! A viewer has rewarded Su Lie 100 trillion Mist Points, setting the scenario for Su Lie to face monsters 100 times the strength of the savage beasts!”

“This is the largest reward ever seen in the Tier 1 competition area!”

“So!”

“Everyone, guess whether Su Lie can clear the second stage?”

“Currently, the betting odds for Su Lie are 1:50!”

... 【Buzz!】 Subsequently, a huge change occurred again in the live reward section.

This time, tens of thousands of experts spent varying amounts of Mist Points, from 1 to 1,000 trillion, to set obstacles for Su Lie to clear the stage...
