Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Sambo's Aether Spirit was already at max level, and he completed all the puzzles within three minutes of the start of the game.

"Come on, brother, let me persuade you to give up right here!"

Sambo stood behind the iron gate, arms crossed, full of confidence.

Chapter 404 Let's switch lines

A cold wind blew.

Although it was daytime, the Echoing Corridor of Belleburg was still cold.

Before we knew it, it started snowing lightly again.

Snowflakes drifted down onto Sambo's shoulder, causing him to instinctively shrink back.

In the echoing corridor, all around were cold, hard walls. The location of this last iron door required Yan Huan and March 7's thermal energy core to light the furnace.

But... they haven't shown up yet.

"Ah...Ah!"

Sambo wiped his nose, hugged his arms, and stared tremblingly at the iron gate.

"That's strange. Given their usual behavior, shouldn't they be heading straight for the finish line?!"

"Is solving the mystery really that difficult?"

"It can't be that bad...!"

Sambo waited a while longer, but found that the snow was falling heavier and heavier. Gradually, without him moving, the snow had covered his ankles.

"..."

"Or... should I go back to my own place and warm myself up with the snow-lighting stove on my own road?"

The snow lamp on Yan Huan and March 7th Road has not been lit. Staying here any longer, while not freezing Sangbo to death, would be extremely uncomfortable.

During this time, he was wanted by the Silvermane Iron Guards again for some reason, and he absolutely could not stay in the Victory Paradise for too long.

Think about it.

Sambo left first.

As he walked, he pondered:

"Why don't we just take one of my thermal cores out of the furnace and temporarily place it in the furnace at their destination?"

In this way, they won't get cold, and they can block their way at the finish line, which is perfect.

And on the other side...

"..."

East side of the Echoing Corridor.

"Executives, what are you doing here?" Jepard asked, somewhat puzzled.

Each team of contestants has its own path, so they should generally not run into each other.

"Jepard, open the iron gate! We've finished processing the free data here!" March 7th shouted, raising his hands.

"Oh, I see!" Jepard exclaimed in realization, and quickly took out a thermal core and stuffed it into the furnace behind the iron gate.

As a result, the iron gate slowly opened, and Yan Huan and March 7 arrived at Jepard's racetrack.

"Well, normally, other participants aren't allowed to switch tracks, right?" Jepard asked with some concern.

He silently pulled his thermal core out of the furnace again, and the iron door he had opened immediately closed again.

"Why take playing games so seriously!" March 7th waved the Ether Coin in his hand, somewhat helplessly.

"This level actually has an upper limit. To break through the level, you have to reach the decisive level. This is too torturous."

She and Yan Huan originally planned to concentrate their resources on maxing out the level of one of the Ether Spirits.

As a result, it indicated that it had reached the level cap after leveling up to level 20.

So the plan was changed, and the two decided to first raise the other ethereal spirits to level 20.

However, the free data for his own track has been almost completely destroyed.

Just then, he saw Jepard behind the iron gate connecting the two tracks, so March 7th greeted him.

"I see... I felt the same way when I first started playing it a few days ago, but isn't this a form of protection?"

Jepard laughed:

"Everyone is at level 20, so the difference in combat power won't be too great, making our Decisive Paradise even more fun."

“There are many ways to improve the finalist rating, but among our group of contestants, the finalist rating should all be the same.”

"Therefore, everyone's highest level is only level 20."

Yan raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Is it possible that other people might come and 'fish' (play as newbies)? Hiding their veteran player identities and pretending to be newbies to sneak in?"

"It can't be that bad," Jepard scratched his head, pondering.

"That would be too boring. Even if there were such people, they would just go and challenge the champion candidates after solving the puzzle, get the qualification badge and leave. We would never run into them."

"Besides... there's also the iron gate."

Jepard pointed to the iron gate he had just opened:

"My track is in a good location. If you want to come here, I have to activate the nearby snow lamp furnace from the inside before the iron gate will open."

"If I want to go to your track, then you can only open the door on my side."

March 7th's eyes widened:

"In other words, your path can only be used to invade others, but others cannot invade you without your permission?"

Jepard nodded slightly:

“Yes, that’s why I said my path is better, because this competition area itself was converted from the Echoing Corridor, so it can’t be truly absolutely fair. Besides… who would go to someone else’s place for no reason? The victory condition is to defeat the champion candidate, not to annihilate the other participants.”

"However... when I was stationed here before, I remember that if you wanted to visit someone, you had to go this way, and the rest of the way was the end of the road to reach other paths."

“I see.” March 7th nodded slightly, then looked at Jepard:

"Speaking of which... you can get upgrade chips by playing against other players, right?"

“That’s right.” Jepard did not deny it.

“When players compete against each other, there are usually some bets involved, and the chips used to upgrade levels are the most common bet.”

"What? You guys... uh."

Suddenly, Jepard had a bad feeling.

"You guys don't actually want to fight me, do you?"

"Yes, yes!" March 7th invited.

"So, do you agree? We're still short some high-grade chips."

Jepard raised an eyebrow:

"However, according to the orthodox rules of the game, you will have to pay the same level of chips even if you lose."

"I think... you've already used up all the remaining level chips, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan and San Yueqi suddenly felt that there really wasn't anything wrong with it.

On my side, there are twenty-seven... no, plus the original little bird, outer cosmic flame, and Juju Explosion... as well as the free data I just collected, which is wild ethereal spirits.

That adds up to at least thirty ether spirits.

Neither of them knew much about the game, so they decided to level them up.

We currently have no remaining high-level chips.

"Hmm... judging from your expressions, I must have hit the nail on the head, right?" Jepard said helplessly.

"I can accept this challenge, but you have to do one thing for me."

"What?" Yan and March 7 looked at Jepard.

The latter then said awkwardly:

"The puzzle of the Snow Lantern Furnace on this path is really difficult... I've been stuck for a long time."

"You were able to run into me because I came back again, wanting to see if there was another way out."

"so……"

Jepard reached out and took out two thermal cores, saying awkwardly:

"Shall we change our approach? I still have two puzzles to solve, and you guys should only have one left, right?"

Yan silently took out a thermal core:

"Hey, you guessed it, we only have one puzzle left to solve. If you don't open the door, we'll go to the end through that path."

"Great!" Jepard was very pleased.

"I haven't even collected all the free data here yet, I'm giving it all to you. Let's not PK anymore, I'll give you some more level chips, let's switch lanes."

"Row."

So Jepard silently walked towards the end of Yan Huan's path.

Sambo was unaware of this at the time.

Chapter 405 Hoarding Level-Up Chips

this side.

Yan Huan and March 7 continued to collect free data and finally raised most of the Ether Spirits to level 20.
