Beast Tamer: Why is the intelligence system a game announcement?

Chapter 83 Rule Changes

What am I doing here? Is this still a rookie game?

Looking at the newly refreshed rules in front of him, Lin Wu's expression became serious. Then, he retrieved the player rankings from the rules interface.

He quickly figured out how to earn points.

In reality, there is only one way to earn points: eliminate your opponents.

Everyone starts with 10 base points, and once an opponent is eliminated, their full points can be taken.

Points can be used to create entirely new rules. Different rules require different amounts of points, generally ranging from fifty to five hundred points.

The 50-point rule might only make people change their language habits, which is insignificant. But 500 points can even change the logic of a battle, forcing people to fight after meeting!

However, one thing that reassured Lin Wu somewhat was that rules cannot force individuals to do anything. Rules can only affect the whole, not any specific individual.

There's no need to worry about being targeted and killed by enemies who have tailored a few rules for you.

After realizing these things, Lin Wu looked at the player rankings in front of him and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Surprisingly, I saw a familiar name at the top of the list!

【1. Ai Mu, 90 points】

[2. Lai Ping, 60 points]

【3————】

【————】

【171. Forest Mist, 20 points】

It's not surprising that Lin Wu only eliminated one player after entering the competition and only had 20 points.

However, Lin Wu was still somewhat surprised when he saw Ai Mu at the top of the list and Lai Ping in second place.

How come these two have such high scores?

Especially Lai Ping —

The thought had just crossed his mind when he paused, noticing the changes on the list.

[1. Lai Ping, 100 points]

Grass!

Seeing this, Lin Wu immediately closed the leaderboard in front of him, clearly realizing that something was wrong.

Something's wrong with Lai Ping!

He had just seen that guy, who was already like a walking corpse. How could he suddenly have 50 points?

The only possibility is that something happened to Lai Ping —

Is it that dirty thing that did it again?

For a moment, Lin Wu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Thinking this to himself, he clicked his tongue and quickly left.

It's pretty much confirmed that this rule was the work of that dirty thing.

It's even quite possible that the previous fifth rule was also something that guy did.

The strange sense of unease I felt at the time was probably also a result of brainwashing. Brainwashing lowered my IQ, or perhaps I subconsciously ignored certain things, making it seem as if there was no unease at all.

Just thinking about this made Lin Wu secretly alarmed.

He had absolutely no idea what kind of opponent he was facing.

"I need to prepare some points too, in case any new rules come up that could have a significant impact on me. Only when I have points and the ability to create rules will I not have to worry too much about the impact of sudden new rules."

Lin Wu muttered to himself, feeling a surge of irritation.

The sudden change disrupted Lin Wu's rhythm, forcing him to consider these unnecessary things.

However, he felt that the "dirty thing" behind the scenes was very likely doing just that.

"The situation is getting worse."

He said this to himself, and at the same time, he hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed towards the location of the selected ecological seeds.

At that moment, Lin Wu discovered that the already dire situation could actually get even worse.

Before he could even take two steps, Lai Ping's points on the leaderboard began to rise rapidly again at an abnormal pace.

In just three minutes, it reached 500 points!

In an instant, Lin Wu stopped in his tracks, instinctively feeling a sense of vigilance.

Then he found out what was going on.

[Contestant Lai Ping has used up 500 points and has formulated new rules]

Lai Ping's score: 0

7. The positions of all players will be displayed on the map.

He's been imprisoned.

Having developed in this broken world for so long, Lin Wu felt a sense of urgency for the first time.

He was all too familiar with this. He felt the same way when someone was playing video games and intentionally sabotaging others, except Lin Wu was the one who got sabotaged.

This is just right.

Lin Wu sighed and thought to himself.

To be honest, when Lin Wu learned about the ecological conflict and some facts about the ecological world, he had a vague feeling that this day would come sooner or later.

After all, in terms of the beast-taming system in this world, everyone is practically in their own own prison.

Given the intensity of this conflict, coupled with the chaotic Jianghai Province Beast Tamer Association, which was personally appointed by Bai Su and was even raising treacherous monsters, Lin Wu could only say that it seemed somewhat normal.

It would be strange if he didn't do that.

Anyway, you can be sure of your safety on the rookie game field. Even if you get wrecked, at least your life is guaranteed.

Consider it a rehearsal for possible future scenarios.

Therefore, no matter how much time he spends in jail, he still has to find a way to achieve his goal of advancing to the professional level, and—find a way to deal with some filthy thing that's frying fish.

Lin Wu thought to himself, then opened the map to see the effect of the new rules.

The next moment, looking at the glowing dots representing the players all over the map, Lin Wu noticed a problem.

"Um?

'

He paused for a moment, then his gaze sharpened.

"One, two, three, four, five—why are these five points of light getting closer to me???"

"Depend on!"

So, at that moment, Lin Wu made the wisest choice without hesitation.

Meanwhile, inside the Beast Tamer Association of Jianghai Province.

"Please wait a moment, please wait a moment—the chairman said he is dealing with important matters and it may take a while. Please wait a moment."

-

In the VIP waiting room, the assistant, drenched in sweat, faced the woman in front of him and kept talking.

"Oh? So he means I'm not important, is that right?"

Bai Su raised an eyebrow slightly, then spoke. The assistant was taken aback, then quickly denied it, "No, no, no, that's not how it is—"

"Then let him come to see me."

After taking a sip of tea, Bai Su said calmly, "I have no intention of making things difficult for you. However, I know that guy Ke Ze better than you do."

"When this guy said that, it meant it wasn't anything important. If the situation were really urgent, he would have shamelessly come out and told me that I was needed in this place, under the guise of asking me to contribute, but actually just wanting to use me as cannon fodder."

She said mockingly, putting down her teacup, and then stared straight at her assistant: "Only in situations like this, when he knows I'm here to confront him, will he choose to avoid me."

"So, now, can you tell me why he's avoiding me?"

Bai Su asked her assistant with a faint smile. Seeing this, the assistant felt cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

"this----"

"I think we still have something to talk about regarding this, Bai Su. Don't always be so hasty right from the start; people will think you're going through menopause."

Just then, a slightly cheerful and flippant voice rang out from the doorway. Bai Su turned around, while her assistant looked at the person at the doorway as if he had been granted a pardon.

At that moment, Keze stood there, smiling, looking at the two of them.

"Finally, you've decided to let go?"

Bai Su stood up and coldly retorted.

"If you don't come out soon, I feel like my dear assistant friend might fall victim to your evil schemes. You've had quite a few rumors like this in your early years."

Ke Ze smiled and said, Bai Su raised an eyebrow slightly, "You do seem to care about him—"

"certainly."

"What about mine?"

Bai Su seemed to utter a lingering sound as she spoke, her expression suddenly becoming sharp.

"Huh? Yours?"

Ke Ze seemed puzzled, and Bai Su frowned.

"Do you find this interesting? Koze, you're always so rambling—you know what I'm talking about."

"Come on, since you've come here to confront me, but are willing to wait patiently for me, it means you believe everything will be alright, right?"

Koze shrugged and said that.

"It's different. I need an explanation, Kozer."

"—Alright, alright. Come with me."

Ke Ze seemed a little impatient as he spoke, then turned around and waved to his assistant, signaling him to stay where he was.

Immediately afterwards, he took Bai Su to his office, closed the door, and crossed his legs.

"Alright, that's fine here—you can ask me anything here."

Ke Ze waved his hand and said that after a moment of silence, Bai Su finally asked the first question.

Why did the Beast Tamer Association commit such a serious breach of duty this time?

"Which rookie game didn't include that?"

Ke Ze calmly retorted, "Isn't it common knowledge that a few people in the Jianghai Province Rookie Tournament sneak in through special means to cause trouble and sabotage others? When have they ever made a fuss?"

"I know that your students are among them, and it's understandable that you care—but Bai Su, you know that unless a champion-level player comes, your students won't be in any danger during the rookie tournament."

"Even if you're on the verge of death inside, you'll be perfectly fine when you come out."

Ke Ze's tone was extremely calm, and he didn't forget to add one last sentence: "You don't need to worry too much. Everything can be resolved properly. It's normal for people to go to jail. Don't you want to see if your investments can overcome the difficulties?"

"I've heard that back when you were still a pro, you were already able to take on a master in a one-on-one match? It's not impossible for your student to take on that smurf in a one-on-one match either."

Upon hearing this, Bai Su narrowed her eyes, and finally said, "But you know this is different from before."

"So, Keze, I'm asking you."

"Even if the person who comes in this time is your former fellow disciple, now a formidable enemy of Jianghai Province, a rare Heavenly King of Jianghai Province, the mastermind behind the beast tide ten years ago, Luo Sheng from back then, do you still think this is the same as before?"
