Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

"So even basic skills can evolve?!"

Chu Yang revealed a look of surprise.

Given the high frequency with which he used "Dodge," his "Dodge" skill hadn't evolved before, leading him to believe that basic skills couldn't evolve.

I never expected that I could actually evolve through the [Evolution Gate].

He'd be willing to give up 100,000 gold coins, let alone 10,000!

After all, "Dodge" is the core of his current build.

Chu Yang decisively chose to evolve into "Dodge".

The following three evolution options were then obtained:

1. Your cooldown time per stack of Dodge has been reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.

2. The time it takes for each of your "Dodge" actions has been reduced from 0.5 seconds to 0.25 seconds.

3. Your maximum dodge distance increases by 100%.

If he had faced this choice before obtaining [Mirror Flower Water Moon], he would definitely have chosen Evolution 1.

But with the mechanism of reducing cooldown in [Mirror Flower Water Moon], he wasn't so worried about the "Dodge" game being interrupted.

Evolution 3 increases the maximum range of "Dodge", but it provides almost no boost to his combat power.

Evolution 2 is the most suitable for him.

The reduced time required for "Dodge" means that he can now cast "Dodge" four times per second instead of twice per second!

This is a huge boost for his build, which relies on the "Dodge" skill to initiate damage output!

Simply put, even if the [Mirror of Light] effect is not triggered, each of his clones can have 80 Thunder-type Pokémon. With the [Mirror of Light] effect, he can easily break 100.

Mirror clones are even easier to create; reaching four or five hundred is not difficult.

In addition, the number of tornadoes and tear streaks will increase by at least two times.

Simply put, the evolution of this one skill alone has more than doubled Chu Yang's strength.

With all three incense sticks lit, the countdown to closing time began for level 7.

Chu Yang returned to the safe zone once again.

He originally just wanted to experience how much money and resources were needed to upgrade skills within the [Evolution Gate], but he unexpectedly received a pleasant surprise.

After resting for a while, he walked toward Gate 8.

When he saw the new door, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Putting everything else aside, if Gate Domain were a roguelike game, it would certainly have a wealth of content..."

The new gate at number 8 is named "Arena Gate".

Xiao Men explained: "Within the [Arena Gate], battles will take place between those who push the gate. There are four battle modes: 1v1, 2v2, 5v5, and a 100-player battle royale..."

Chu Yang said speechlessly, "Wait... PUBG? You actually know about PUBG?!"

Xiaomen said, "Because you understand, I understand."

Chu Yang scoffed, "You really do seem to be able to read our minds!"

Xiao Men didn't answer, but continued, "In the [Arena Gate], if your health reaches zero, you won't actually die."

Aside from the information above, Xiaomen did not provide any other information.

Each time Xiao Men explains the contents of a new door, he only provides the most basic information.

To find out the specific contents and rewards inside each door, you have to experience it for yourself.

Take this [Evolution Gate] for example. If Chu Yang hadn't spent over ten thousand gold coins to enter, he would have really missed the opportunity to upgrade [Evasion]!

Having entered the gate domain twice, Chu Yang experienced all the new gates except for the [Evacuation Gate] and [Blessing Gate], which were obviously unsuitable for him based on their information.

This time will be no different.

"Playing against other players doesn't seem too difficult..."

Chu Yang walked into the [Arena Gate] as he spoke.

Each time you enter the [Arena Gate], the matchmaking mode is randomized.

Chu Yang naturally hoped to encounter a 1v1 mode or a battle royale mode.

Unfortunately, good fortune did not smile upon him.

He was matched with the 5v5 mode he least wanted to encounter.

Chu Yang opened his eyes and found himself in a very spacious circular arena.

Nearby, four other people who pushed open the door also opened their eyes.

The moment they arrived at the arena, they received detailed rules about the 5v5 competition.

In short, there are 5 main rules:

1. Matchmaking begins with five players per team. If one team is completely wiped out, the other team wins.

2 If the battle lasts for more than 30 minutes without a winner, all members will have their health reduced and healing will be disabled. The last surviving member will win.

3. Teammates who die in battle cannot continue to participate, but will be resurrected and enter the spectator area. The remaining surviving teammates will vote on whether to continue the match.

4. After each battle, rest for 10 minutes to recover your health.

5. Rewards increase with the number of wins, up to a maximum of thirteen wins, with the best performer receiving an additional reward.

Chu Yang's team consists of five people: one woman and four men.

There are 10 minutes left before the battle begins.

A young man dressed like the protagonist of Assassin's Creed said somewhat anxiously, "Let's quickly introduce ourselves. The battle is about to begin, and we need to arrange our tactics."

"You can call me Gao Jie. My profession is Shadow Assassin, specializing in assassination and targeting the backline."

The tall man next to the young man said succinctly, "Zhou Chengwen, the Mountain Moving Warrior, is skilled in frontal breakthroughs and team control."

The only girl said nervously, "I...I'm Liu Xiaowen, a crossbowman...I specialize in ranged attacks and positional warfare."

The short, stout man next to the girl said, "Just call me Old Qian. My profession is Guardian, and I specialize in group defense."

Finally, everyone looked at Chu Yang, who was standing alone to the side. Chu Yang casually said, "Chu Yang, Thunder Walker, you're good at... output damage, I guess."

After the five introduced their professions, Gao Jie said regretfully, "It's a pity there's no healer. The side with a healer has a huge advantage in this battle mode."

Old Qian laughed and said, "Our lineup is pretty good. We have a front line, ranged units, damage dealers, and crowd control. If we coordinate well, we might be able to win a few more games."

Gao Jie nodded and said, "Well, let's win the first game first. Let me explain my tactics, and you can see if there are any problems."

"Brother Zhou, when the game starts, you rush towards the enemy's backline, and I'll go invisible to help you. Let's see if we can take down one enemy at the start."

"Old Qian, you can save your first damage reduction skill and shield skill for Brother Zhou to assist him in the frontal attack."

"Liu Xiaowen, you just need to set up the crossbow formation at the start. After our first wave of attack, we might take the opportunity to retreat. At that time, we can fight around the crossbow formation you set up."

"Chu Yang, you just throw grenades from a distance to cover us. Let us know when your rage is over, and Brother Zhou will save a crowd control skill to help you unleash your ultimate attack."

"..."

This reclusive scholar named Gao Jie is clearly very knowledgeable about all 14 second-tier professions.

His arrangements were also very well thought out.

Several teammates nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Having a leader is very important in a team.

Especially for a newly formed team, such a person can quickly integrate everyone's strength.

Of course, this refers to a regular squad.

If a team has someone like Chu Yang, then things are different.

In short, Chu Yang stood aside, neither interrupting Gao Jie's serious battle plan nor agreeing with it.

He simply stretched, finding the 10 minutes dragging on...
