My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 95: Ladder Rank: Silver!

Chu Mu patted Xu Qiu's shoulder and was about to say something, but as if he realized something, he turned his head to look at Tang Yu'an who was walking towards him.

"Chu Mu, you and I have both reached perfection in the second level. How about a battle later?" Tang Yu'an invited him to a battle.

"Ah, this..." Chu Mu's expression was a little awkward, "I just made an appointment with Xu Qiu to fight."

"Free training time is long, and having more virtual opponents will be more helpful in verifying your strength." Tang Yu'an's expression remained unchanged, "I believe classmate Xu Qiu won't mind either."

"I..." Xu Qiu opened his mouth and was about to say the word "mind", but was interrupted by Tang Yu'an.

"It's settled then." Tang Yu'an turned and left.

Xu Qiu's expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He waited until Tang Yu'an walked away and lowered his voice, "Chu Mu, beat this guy up hard during the battle!"

"That might be a little difficult." Thinking of Tang Yu'an's powerful halberd, Chu Mu showed an awkward expression, and then couldn't help looking at Xu Qiu, "Do you have any grudge against Tang Yu'an?"

He could feel Xu Qiu's hostility towards Tang Yu'an.

As for Tang Yu'an...

Apart from the huge change in his attitude towards himself, he remained arrogant towards other people.

"No!" Xu Qiu said without hesitation.

Chu Mu showed a look of understanding.

Got it, yes.
-
"Chong-"

With a loud bang of weapons colliding, the red sword blocked the opponent's weapon in front of him. At the moment of flying backwards, Chu Mu's body twisted violently in the air, and the red hook sword held in his other hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake, instantly hitting the opponent's exposed abdomen.

Enter the flesh and then pull out.

"Pfft-"

As a large amount of blood spurted out from the torn wound, the severely injured opponent groaned, his momentum plummeted, and soon his heart was pierced under Chu Mu's intensive attack.

"Brother, your knife is really cruel..."

The defeated opponent bared his teeth and disappeared on the spot after a moment.

When warriors fight, they will use every possible means.

But it is relatively rare to see a knife designed to be as ruthless as this.

When such a knife collides with other weapons, although it can aggravate the opponent's injuries when attacking the opponent, it can easily hook the opponent's weapon and be unable to break away. If it is a single knife, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

But Chu Mu wields two swords, and he mainly uses the Zhuhong Sword to collide with his opponent's weapon. Even if the two swords are crossed to block, the Zhuhong Sword is on top.

"Thank you." Chu Mu cupped his hands, his eyes full of excitement.

The promotion round was finally passed!

[Congratulations to the user for winning the rank promotion match, obtaining D1 level authority, and the rank points are increased to: Silver rank 100 points! ]

Silver rank!
Chu Mu was excited.

After your rank points reach 1000 points in the bronze rank, you can participate in the promotion match, but only once a day. If you fail ten times in a row, your rank points will drop to 900 points in the bronze rank and you will need to improve again.

After his skills were improved to the second level of perfection, Chu Mu spent three days to increase his points to 1000. He then tried seven times before he barely won once.

It's really tough!

In the silver rank, most of them have level three skills, and there are only a few level two perfect star warriors in the low ranks.

In the previous six times, Chu Mu was matched with third-level skills and was quickly defeated due to the absolute gap in strength.

Fortunately, the god of luck finally favored him.

The opponent's burst rate of power was stronger than his, but it was not at the third level. Chu Mu tried his best and finally defeated the opponent by exchanging injuries.

Although with his current strength, he will most likely not be able to maintain his points in the Silver Rank, and will soon automatically fall back to the Bronze Rank because his points will be below 100 for more than 7 days.

But for Chu Mu, this is enough!
Because of the silver rank, you can participate in the ladder bounty competition!

This is what he wants.

Returning to the lounge, Chu Mu immediately heard Weiwei's congratulations, "Congratulations to the user for reaching the Silver rank!"

"Vivi, I want to participate in the Ladder Bounty Tournament!" Chu Mu looked at Vivi and spoke without hesitation.

Ever since he learned that he could win virtual currency in bounty tournaments, he set the goal of reaching the silver rank.

Now that he had finally reached the destination, the first thing he wanted to do was to see how this mysterious bounty tournament worked.

"Yes, but you have never participated in a ladder bounty competition. Before you can officially participate, you need to complete a novice mission."

"How come it's like a game, with novice missions?" Chu Mu couldn't help but complain, and then asked, "What missions?"

"Watch and bet on a ladder bounty tournament." Weiwei smiled.

"I can understand watching the game, but what does betting mean?" Chu Mu asked in confusion, "Like gambling?"

"Yes." Weiwei nodded. "The ladder competition will become an open competition after the silver rank. Users can watch the battles of the same or lower ranks for free."

“You can also watch the Ladder Bounty Tournament, but it’s not free. If you want to watch other users’ Bounty Tournaments, you need to place a bet.”

“If you bet on the bounty competition result correctly, you will get a proportional refund. If you bet wrong, you will not get a refund. The minimum bet amount is 1000 virtual coins.”

“The amount of bets in the bounty game determines how much bounty the users who participate in the bounty game can eventually receive.”

“The more you bet, the more virtual coins you can get at the same stage.”

"No problem." Chu Mu nodded, "Watch the game."

The minimum betting amount is 1000, and he can accept it even if he bets wrong.

Just think of it as unlocking the bounty tournament.

"These are the upcoming bounty matches. You can choose any one to watch!" Weiwei swiped her finger, and a list of ten upcoming bounty matches appeared in front of Chu Mu. "You are currently in the silver rank, so you can only watch the silver rank bounty matches. The silver rank bounty matches are a thousand-player competition, and the match will start when the number of participants reaches a thousand."

Thousands of people...

Looking at the rapidly rising number of participants displayed below the match, Chu Mu's mouth twitched slightly.

There are so many masters in the silver rank.

Without thinking too much, Chu Mu casually chose the session at the top with the largest number of participants, which had exceeded 900 people.

The next second after he was selected, the number of participants reached 1000.

The next moment when all the people gathered, the scene around Chu Mu changed.

He appeared on a stand, surrounded by different virtual images, and behind each virtual image was a user.

There was a crowd of people on a high platform in front of the stands.

"The users on the platform are all participants in the bounty tournament." Weiwei was not there, but her voice appeared at the right time, "You can check their situation now. If you place a bet within five minutes, you can watch the bounty tournament that will start in five minutes."

As she finished her words, a series of participant information appeared in front of Chu Mu, with each participant marked with their user name, rank points, number of duels, and win rate.

The betting items include top 900, top 800, top 700, etc.

Betting on different participants and different rankings will result in different odds.

"This is good." Chu Mu's eyes quickly locked onto one of the masters named "Pei Fang". The opponent was in the silver rank with 854 points and had a win rate of over 65%, which was one of the best in the field.

However, after selecting Pei Fang and checking the betting items, he immediately had a helpless expression on his face, "The odds are really low."

Because Pei Fang himself is very strong, the odds for many betting items are 1, and even if you guess correctly, you can only get back your principal.

“But I’m not betting for the sake of making money.” Chu Mu murmured, and finally decided to bet 1000 virtual coins on Pei Fang being able to enter the top 50, with odds of 1:1.1.

Let this be considered as a little encouragement to this strange master.

After placing the bets, Chu Mu whispered, "Weiwei, how exactly is the competition for a thousand people going to go? Is it a fight between each other?"

As he spoke, he thought of a game in his previous life called PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. That game had a similar gameplay, and the longer you survived, the higher your ranking.

Weiwei didn't say anything, but a middle-aged man standing next to Chu Mu looked over and said, "Young man, is this a novice mission?"

Hearing Chu Mu's self-questioning questions, he had already guessed the general idea.

"Yes." Chu Mu nodded. "This is my first time in a bounty tournament, so I don't know much."

"Haha, Greedy Wei will only keep things a secret for this kind of thing." The middle-aged uncle smiled, "In a competition of a thousand people, participants can indeed fight each other, but this is just one of the rules."

"These 1,000 people will be sent to a virtual small planet, where there will be many inferior star beasts."

"For killing a ninth-level star beast, participants will receive 100 points. For killing an eighth-level star beast, participants will receive 300 points. For killing a seventh-level star beast, participants will receive 500 points."

"If a participant is killed by a star beast or another participant, they will be eliminated early. If they are killed by a star beast, the total points will remain unchanged. If they are killed by a participant, 10% of the points will be transferred to the killer."

"A bounty match lasts for half an hour. When all participants are eliminated or the time is up, they will be ranked according to their points."

"So fighting each other is feasible, but the battle with the star beasts is more important." The middle-aged uncle chuckled, "Do you understand?"

"I understand, thank you uncle!" Chu Mu's eyes flashed, and he thanked him immediately, while thinking in his heart.

According to this rule, the bounty competition focuses on two parts. The first is to kill as many star beasts as possible to get more points.

The second is to protect yourself from attacks by other participants, while at the same time killing as many other participants as possible and snatching their points.

Given his current situation, he should not think about killing other participants. The key is to kill more star beasts and protect himself.

After watching this bounty tournament, he must pay attention to these things when he participates in it.

Although his strength was at the bottom of the silver rank, he was still somewhat confident when it came to hunting star beasts.

Just as he was thinking about it, the scene around him changed and Chu Mu appeared in a dense and boundless forest.

"The bounty competition has begun. You are now in spectator mode. You can choose any participant and appear next to him to watch the competition up close. Neither the participants nor the star beasts can see you, and any of your actions will not affect the bounty competition."

Weiwei's voice appeared at the right time, allowing Chu Mu to understand the current situation.

If you want to watch the game, you naturally have to look at the object of your bet first.

Chu Mu chose Pei Fang to watch the battle. Soon the scene around him changed and he appeared in another part of the primeval forest. A man with a resolute face was holding a sword and fighting with a second-level star beast of the beast soldier level.

Judging from the fighting situation between the two sides, Pei Fang clearly has the upper hand.

There were dozens of people around Chu Mu, all watching the battle with Pei Fang.

This also gave Chu Mu a very strange feeling.

Dozens of people watched the fight between Pei Fang and the star beast at close range, but Pei Fang and the star beast could not see them at all.

Really interesting.

After following Pei Fang's perspective and killing five or six star beasts in succession, Chu Mu randomly selected a participant named "Paen" and wanted to see how other participants performed.

The scene changed, and Chu Mu came to a young man with short golden hair. As soon as Pan made a move, Chu Mu realized that his skills were far inferior to Pei Fang, and his power burst rate was similar to his own.

The bounty tournament grants participants a unified basic strength of 50,000 kilograms. Even if his skills are not up to the third level, with this basic strength, Parn can still fight the star beast, but it's a bit reluctant.

His opponent was a first-level beast soldier-grade star beast.

After a fierce fight and killing the opponent, Parn cheered, waved his hands around and shouted, "Brothers watching the fight, please cheer for me!"

Chu Mu glanced around.

He was alone.

He burst into laughter, said "Come on", and then Chu Mu changed the person he was watching.
