Dark Eldar

"The finest warriors! Friends, hello everyone! May the eternal glory of this other world forever shine upon you!" The speaker was none other than the 32nd Elder of Lei Yin. His voice was always so distinctive (original sound), as if he were the "BOSS" of this other world.

Unfortunately, he wasn't, but that didn't affect the progress of the "opening ceremony." (Location: Midal Mountains 711371; Event: Otherworldly Elementary Magic Exam)

Elder Lei Yin, dressed in a magnificent, holy robe (a paid costume, no level requirement), continued his speech:

"Young heroes of all races, I was once just like you, starting from the beginner level, then moving to the intermediate level, and finally overcoming the bottleneck of the advanced magic exam to become the elder hero I am today. The process was almost exactly as I envisioned, perhaps with occasional unexpected events (implying: not competing with Schopenhauer), but that's all in the past. Just like Medalal today, when you come back tomorrow, you'll find that the scene will definitely be different. It was like this before, and it will be like this now. Some friends will ask, 'Why should I take the beginner exam?' Obviously, you'll quickly get the official 'standard answer' like, 'Go for it! Prove yourself!' Here, I want to add that, don't you want to try? Maybe you can pass smoothly! Some people think that the intermediate and advanced levels will become increasingly difficult, and they'll feel intimidated, imagining that they're bound to fail... I think there's absolutely no need to argue about these 'absurd assumptions.' Today, 70 heroes will be cruelly eliminated. Should those who fail give up on themselves?"

The 32nd Elder of Lei Yin became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his original "kindness" transforming into an even more "righteous" demeanor. He longed to offer heartfelt advice to each of the young heroes. Perhaps due to the allusions to Schopenhauer and "order," he had only given a brief introduction to previous "Otherworldly Elementary Elimination Tournaments" before announcing their commencement.

The "casual player mode" at level 30 is gradually becoming popular. (Note: Whenever the amount of "VIP1" recharged decreases slightly, the higher-ups in the development team or the board of directors will hold them accountable. Even the most powerful "Order" is powerless against the "core layer"...)

Below the stage, the young heroes were already "eager to try"! They couldn't understand Elder Lei Yin's "rambling words" at all. They thought he wasn't speaking to them, but rather deliberately "showing off." [Note: It's not surprising that they thought this way; the "outside world" was also simultaneously monitoring the "Medalar Channel" (newly added), which had five dedicated simultaneous channels, including those frequented by seasoned "investors."]

They like to follow a "promising" hero (regardless of gender) in advance and "add them to their favorites" to become fans. Loki had long since blocked this feature; he hated being followed by irrelevant people, believing it would seriously affect his "progress," and later, it was proven that Loki was right. But there are also super "traffic heroes" like Schopenhauer, whose fan base is enormous. Besides their daily lives, they are regularly "livestreamed." People love to "watch" their every move. Even Elder Lei Yin's many "grand principles" are sometimes meant for "others." Elder Sun Yun is no exception. However, some of this "following mode" is presented to everyone as "recorded videos." "Order" is wise; it can "deceive the unsuspecting." Unless you're a "high-level player," ordinary people will always see "a partially delayed and edited version."

In another world, Elder Schopenhauer stood at the other end of the giant battle crystal ball (200), silently watching the "live broadcast." He listened attentively to Lei Yin 32's "opening speech," the first half of which seemed to be a gesture of goodwill towards him. However, some of the words sounded rather "harsh." He was already "used to" this. The "success" of a successful person should always be achieved by stepping on the "mistakes" of others; it is impossible not to offend people. (Elder Schopenhauer was generally considered "benevolent," and he rose slowly during the great battle against the "Morsaya" Dark Dynasty. At that time, in terms of DPS and prestige, he was not ranked first. Lei Yin 32 was far more prominent than him. In the "public duel" between 32 and Schopenhauer, Elder Schopenhauer, for some reason, did not win against Schopenhauer. In terms of level, he was nearly 10 levels higher than Schopenhauer, but unfortunately, "fate played a trick," and after Schopenhauer's victory in the crucial battle, he rightfully became the "boss." In terms of this matter...) What was the key to success or failure? The mistake lay in Lei Yin 32's hasty declaration of war. Perhaps he didn't need to issue the declaration at all; if he had simply remained silent and waited, he might have smoothly ascended to the position of the new Grand Elder. It seems some historical events are predetermined, while others are random. Later observers' "views" are merely based on an "outsider's perspective." If one were truly "in the thick of it," facing Schopenhauer's constant "threat" and increasing competition, making the most rational judgment would be extremely difficult.

"...Alright, now I solemnly announce—the Otherworld Elementary Advancement Tournament has officially begun!! Contestants, please enter the arena in order of your ranking and compete in a civilized manner. Please stay away from the interference of darkness and evil! Let's learn from each other and make friends through martial arts!!" (Applause! Cheers! Whistles! Various strange noises!)

"Stop when you've hit the mark"? That's too weak. The spots for the beginner's exam in this other world are always limited. They belong only to the "excellent ones." Therefore, "not going all out" (not critical damage)? That's probably just superfluous advice.
