My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 42 Ladder Qualifying Tournament

After listening to Liu Chang's introduction, Chu Mu seemed to be thinking about something.

Different contributions to the alliance will result in different permissions in the Star Virtual Network. This is easy to understand, and contributors naturally need to be treated preferentially.

"How do the ladder ranks correspond to permissions?" Chu Mu asked about another factor that affects permissions.

"You know what the Decisive Ladder is for, right?" Liu Chang glanced at Chu Mu.

"I know." Chu Mu nodded.

In the decisive ladder, you can be randomly matched with star warriors from all over the alliance for virtual battles, and increase or decrease your rank points based on the wins and losses. When the points reach the upper limit of this rank, you can enter the next rank and match opponents of stronger ranks.

The virtual battle system used by the school is a minimalist version of the ladder, and can only be used to compete with fixed users.

This is the main reason why Chu Mu wants to obtain a personal virtual helmet. There are too few star warriors to come into contact with in reality. Being able to fight against star warriors from all over the world who are proficient in various weapons will greatly help Chu Mu improve his vision and skills.

However, Chu Mu didn't know before that the ladder to victory was also related to authority.

"The Starry Sky Virtual Permission Level is consistent with the standard resource level division stipulated by the Alliance, starting from the lowest F1 level all the way up." Liu Chang paused, "And the rank of the Decisive Ladder is from bottom to top: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold..."

"Each rank has a maximum of 1000 points. Once you have enough points, you can advance to the next rank by passing the rank promotion match."

"So... Black Iron corresponds to F grade, and Bronze corresponds to E grade?" Chu Mu seemed to understand the correspondence between the two.

"Yes." Liu Chang nodded. "The minimum score to maintain a rank is 100 points. If the score is below 100 for more than 7 days, you will automatically drop to a lower rank and need to re-enter the promotion match."

"From 100 points up, every 100 points increase will increase your authority by one small level."

"The authority is based on the highest score in history. Even if the score drops later, the authority will not be reduced."

"I understand." Chu Mu nodded slightly, "Then I'll go to the Victory Ladder to take a look."

After listening to Liu Chang's story, he was eager to try it.

"I knew it." Liu Chang spread his hands, "It seems that I won't have the chance to treat you to a feast in Star World today."

“Definitely next time.” Chu Mu smiled, found the entrance to the decisive ladder, and after choosing to enter, the scene around him changed instantly.

The interior of the starship cabin, which was previously full of technological style, suddenly turned into a sacred and solemn hall. A row of primitive torches were fixed on the wall, and the dancing flames seemed to be able to ignite the high morale of the star warriors.

"It looks a bit like an arena, which fits the name Victory Ladder." Chu Mu nodded slightly and commented casually.

"As long as Mr. Shuangmu likes it." A light voice appeared beside Chu Mu.

Chu Mu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl floating in the air who looked a bit like a cartoon character.

"I'm Weiwei, the ladder assistant." The little girl was very polite. "This is the rest hall of the decisive ladder. You will come here before and after the competition. I'm always here. If you have any questions about the decisive ladder or need any help, you can come to me."

Is this an intelligent system for winning the ladder?

Chu Mu understood, "This is my first time here, can I start fighting right away?"

"Mr. Shuangmu doesn't have a rank, so he can't participate in the ladder competition or the ladder bounty competition for the time being." Weiwei smiled, "He needs to have a ranking match first, and his initial rank will be determined based on the assessment results. Only then can Mr. Shuangmu participate in the ladder competition."

"Qualifying Tournament..." Chu Mu nodded slightly, "What is the Ladder Bounty Tournament you just mentioned?"

This was something he had never heard of before.

"There are currently two competitive modes in the Ladder Showdown. In addition to the original Ladder Fighting Competition, there is also a new Ladder Bounty Competition." Weiwei explained, "The Ladder Bounty Competition can be unlocked when you are at the Silver rank or above."

“Complete different stages of challenges in the bounty competition and you can get different amounts of virtual currency bounty rewards.”

"Can I get money?" Chu Mu's eyes lit up.

Virtual currency and alliance currency can be exchanged.

Therefore, virtual currency bounties can be completely exchanged for alliance coins.

"Silver rank..." There was a bit more anticipation in Chu Mu's eyes.

Sure enough, after becoming a star warrior, there are many ways to make money. Of course, practicing star warriors is also very expensive.

"I want to participate in the qualifying match!" Chu Mu spoke impatiently.

"Okay." Weiwei waved her hand and a light door appeared next to her.

"Entering the light gate is considered the start of the assessment. Please choose your weapon in advance. You cannot change it after the assessment begins."

"The basic strength of the examinees is unified at 500 kilograms."

"The duration you last and the number of enemies you kill will determine your initial rank."

Chu Mu pulled out the weapon selection list, selected two long swords, took a deep breath, and rushed into the light gate without hesitation.

The next moment, he appeared in a primitive jungle.

Before he could stand firm, a crab-like monster about two meters long with hideous bone spurs all over its body rushed over.

Star beast?

No, it should be an opponent set up to simulate the star beast.

Chu Mu couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

With a basic strength of 500 kg, it’s nothing compared to facing a real star beast.

Although his mind was full of thoughts, Chu Mu's hands did not slow down. The long sword suddenly stabbed out and accurately penetrated the gap of the crab star beast's exoskeleton, piercing its body.

A fatal blow.

The crab star beast turned into a point of light and dissipated. Two star beasts with strength similar to that of the crab star beast, but different in appearance, quickly rushed over.

Facing the star beast that was rushing towards him, Chu Mu took a deep breath and took the initiative to meet it.

He wanted to see how difficult this qualifying match was!

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Accompanied by continuous sounds, one star beast after another fell on Chu Mu's path. The strength of the star beasts was constantly increasing, and their numbers were also increasing, from the initial attack of one star beast to the subsequent siege of seven or eight at the same time.

As time went by, Chu Mu also felt the pressure.

In the beginning, you can kill your opponent with just a casual sword strike, but later you need to use the Yunhong sword technique to fight the enemy, gradually reducing the number of opponents in the fight.

"Roar!!!"

A star beast suddenly pounced forward, opening its bloody mouth and attacking the wounded Chu Mu.

With a frown, Chu Mu raised his two swords in an instant.

Penetrate the sky!

With one burst of power, Chu Mu pierced through the star beast's head. Without hesitation, he changed his sword style and faced the other star beasts that were coming.

Finally, under the siege of the star beasts, Chu Mu was caught off guard and was pierced through the chest by the sharp claws of one of the star beasts.

The qualifying round is over.

Back in the lounge, Chu Mu rubbed his chest, where the pain had not yet completely subsided, and asked, "Are the results of the qualifying rounds out?"

"The results are out!" Weiwei smiled. "Congratulations on lasting 237 seconds in the qualifying match and killing 85 star beasts!"

"Your initial rank is: Bronze rank 450 points!"

"Your starry sky virtual authority has been upgraded to E4 level!"
