284 The Moment of Destruction (I)
Other than buying the item from the Ancient Dragon Boss, Lin Ye only used Hive as a ‘revival point’ and a place to farm Diamond-grade equipment from monsters.
The former did not have any requirements.
The latter had to be stuck at level 15. Otherwise, they could not fight or enter other people’s worlds. All they could do was to spectate other worlds.
However…
Yanan’s entry requirements were not high.
After obtaining the entry pass, one only needed to break through the level 20 lock to enter.
The Professional Alliance did not have the door key, but Yggdrasil had it.
When the time came, Lin Ye decided to just get it from her.
That was why Lin Ye decided to cancel his plan of farming Diamond-grade equipment at Hive and instead farm in Yanan.
‘As long as the Church of Healing did not mess with me, that is…’
At noon.
Lin Ye and Su Mumu used their fire-sitting tools to fly to Hive Town and greet Lingdang.
The three of them gathered together for lunch and discussed the matters regarding Hive and the White Night Kingdom in passing. Then, they parted ways and returned to their respective homes.
When they returned to reality, Lin Ye and Su Mumu found Shangguan Yan and the others. Just as they were about to tell them what happened in Hive, they didn’t expect them to be cut in anxiously.
“Aiya, Big Brother, and Big Sister are finally back. I was almost done for!”
“Hurry up!”
“I’m going to find my sister!”
“Let her arrange your match time!”
“We’re just waiting for you to go up and end the battle!”
“What do you mean?” Lin Ye was confused.
“It’s about the University Tournament.” Nolan explained.
“It’s already time for the final battle of the top ten.”
“There was a student who wanted to challenge you, but you weren’t here, and he couldn’t find you. So the only way I could’ve to buy you some time…”
“Huh?” Lin Ye was confused.
“Didn’t you say it would last for at least a month?”
“Why did the competition progress so fast?”
“You can queue up every day?”
Shangguan Yan grabbed Lin Ye’s hand and dragged him out of the room.
“I’ll tell you the details later. Go to my sister first and ask her to arrange a schedule for you to go into the arena.”
“You’ve already delayed the competition for three days.”
“If you continue to drag this out, you’ll probably cause the students’ anger. The school’s shareholders will also be very unhappy. Who knows, they might even punish you!”
Lin Ye had no other choice.
“Alright,” he said.
“But can’t I make a phone call first?”
“My sister is at the competition venue. It’s not convenient for her to answer the phone now, so it’s better if we meet her in person. “Shangguan Yan said as he walked.
Just like that, Lin Ye was forcefully dragged to the competition venue by Shangguan Yan. Su Mumu, a “spectator” who didn’t participate in the one-on-one challenge, followed them to the arena.
On the road.
Shangguan Yan and Nolan briefly explained the current situation.
“Actually,”
“The situation isn’t all that complicated.”
“It’s the two students who ranked first and second in the college entrance examination. They wanted to compete with you so much that they took the initiative to use their own private resources as a withdrawal reward to make other students give up on the competition.”
“And because too many students withdrew from the competition, the progress of the competition accelerated, and it went straight to the final battle of the top ten.”
“At this time, no matter if someone challenges you or not, you have to go up and fight.”
“It’s equivalent to changing from free challenge mode to random matching mode.”
“But you were still in Hive and haven’t come out.”
“What?” Lin Ye was confused.
“They spend money to make others forfeit?”
“Wouldn’t this make a fake match?”
“Normally speaking,” Shangguan Yan said, “This is a fake match. But the fact that the two of them spent money to make people withdraw from the competition is made public. The school leaders also voted in favor of this proposal, letting the students make their own choices.”
“They say it’s a good way to test the students’ determination…”
“In any case.”
“The real core reward is the three Crowns of Wisdom for the first place.”
“The top 20 will also be qualified to enter a special dungeon.”
“Most of them know that they have no chance. Instead of wasting time, they might as well take the same benefits and end the torture earlier.”
...
“Therefore, there were only about forty people left. The competition for the top twenty places ended in a few days.”
Lin Ye rubbed his chin.
“Alright,” he said.
“I roughly understand the situation.”
“By the way… Did I get you into trouble?”
“Kinda. It isn’t too serious, for now.” Shangguan Yan said
“But if you dawdle for another two days before appearing for the challenge…”
“I think it will become a big problem.”
“Also, the principal will probably have to take the blame for us. After all, part of the school’s power is in the hands of the shareholders. The school has to act according to the shareholders’ wishes. The principal can’t do whatever she wants and give privileges to whoever she wants.”
“You and Mumu came to school four months late, and that already made the shareholders a little uncomfortable.”
“They don’t know what you’ve been doing.”
...
“It’s only because of the principal that most of them didn’t say anything and acquiesced to your behavior.”
Lin Ye was speechless.
“Okay.”
“When the competition is over, I’ll personally apologize to the principal and your sister.”
As they were talking, Shangguan Wan’er, who received the news that Lin Ye had returned, walked out of the office and came to everyone.
“Lin Ye, get ready. The last match just ended.” She quickly said.
“You’ll immediately go into the arena.”
Lin Ye nodded, “Alright,”.
“How many matches do I have to fight?”
Shangguan Wan’er recalled the battle list she had just seen.
“Hmm… If you can win, there will be two rounds in total. If you lose, let’s see if you want to break down the ranking. If not, you will be the last by default…”
