In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

District 9 wanted to get a free point, but ended up being dragged down with the other side.

Two more experimental zones have been added to the list of those ranked last.

The unexpected downfall of District 9 sent chills down everyone's spine, including some of the most powerful races.

"Let's go!" Jiang Qingyue called out and flew to the arena first.

Long Jiuxing followed closely behind, while the others were a step behind and also came to the arena.

Wang Defa jumped onto Jiang Qingyue's head and whispered in her ear, "Goddess Jiang, who do you choose?"

Without saying a word, Jiang Qingyue pointed to District 50. The other party had a time-stopping device and had a grudge against her, not only because she had previously sided with the leader of District 13, but the other party had chosen to side with the leader of District 5.

More importantly, her previous antics angered the main god, who slapped her, causing serious injuries to everyone.

Many people died in the fiftieth district, and the leader himself was seriously injured.

Needless to say, they must hate her, the culprit, to the core.

Chen Sanyang was stunned, and whispered to Liu Yuyao, "Did Jiang Shen point to the wrong person?"

District 50 is no pushover.

The leader of District 50 is one of the seventeen strong individuals with a combat power exceeding 600,000, and he previously joined the ranks of the leader of District 5.

In that battle, the leader of District 5 was killed, but two of her allies survived: District 50 and District 4.

These two are no ordinary people. At the last moment, the leader of District 4 took out something that looked like a silkworm cocoon, which the leader of District 13 and his men fought for a long time but could not break.

The leader of District 50 has a time-stopping device. She used it to freeze time in the arena and killed the leader of District 77.

None of them are simple characters.

Even in terms of combat strength alone, she is no less than Jiang Qingyue.

The leader of District 50 sneered and led her men to the arena. Jiang Qingyue's choice was exactly what she wanted; her chance for revenge had arrived.

She made up her mind to use the time-stopping device as soon as she got there and take down Jiang Qingyue first.

She had observed several people in District 8 who didn't have space backpacks, but they kept those life-saving treasures in their pockets. She planned to kill them all and steal them.

Jiang Shen chose the toughest nut to crack for her side. Even if everyone couldn't understand why, they firmly believed that Jiang Shen must have her reasons for doing so.

Both sides are in position.

The voice of the supreme deity rang out: "Begin."

As soon as the word "open" was uttered, Jiang Qingyue shouted, "Stop!"

The moment the word "fixed" was uttered, the ice arrow was released from the bow.

*Snap.* The leader of District 50 died with only confusion in his eyes. Weren't we supposed to wait for the announcer to say "start" before fighting? The word "start" hadn't even been uttered yet…

In the one second that time stopped, Jiang Qingyue instantly killed the person who posed the greatest threat to her and picked up the quantum computer from the shards of ice.

With half a second to go, Jiang Qingyue fired another arrow.

As time resumed, Long Jiuxing and the others discovered that Jiang Qingyue was wreaking havoc among the opposing team.

Two more corpses lay on the ground.

"Kill." No one hesitated, because they knew that many special items required time to use.

The faster they kill, the less chance they have of their opponents using special items, thus avoiding a disastrous outcome like in District 9.

With a thunderous roar, countless powerful attacks erupted on the arena, only to subside a few seconds later.

The battle is over.

Jiang Qingyue and the others quickly stripped away all the personal computers, and those with spatial storage simply took away the corpses as well, since their spaces were empty anyway.

In no time, the entire arena was cleaned spotless.

"Winning in Zone 8 awards 1 point. Since Zone 50 has no points, there is no inheritance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rankings on the screen showed that District 8 had instantly taken the top spot, followed by a small "1".

"Shall we continue?" Nangong Zhao asked.

Jiang Qingyue shook her head, deciding to stop while she was ahead. She realized that getting only a few points each time wasn't worthwhile.

Let the others force out the methods of each race first, then she led her people back to their seats in District 8.

This 1 point was easy to obtain, but it used up Jiang Qingyue's only chance to use the time-stopping device today.

But Jiang Qingyue thinks it's worth it.

She has a pause button, and so does the other person, but their pause lasts longer than hers.

Even if she doesn't choose, the other party will choose her.

The time-stopping device is unstoppable once it's used; if the opponent uses it first, she won't have a chance to use it.

Conversely, if she goes first, the opponent won't have a chance to use theirs.

However, this thing is also a deadly weapon, and most people wouldn't use it unless it's the last resort.

Jiang Qingyue would rather secure a point for the team first than save it for the final moment without even having a chance to use it.

After hesitating for a moment, District 4 flew onto the stage and chose District 1 as their opponent this time.

Wang Defa yelled at Jiang Qingyue's head, "Isn't this the guy who wrapped himself up like a silkworm? His defense is invincible!"

"That's brave. He's planning to use his powerful defenses to take on the First District Leader's time-stopping device head-on."

It has to be said that this line of thinking is exactly the same as Jiang Qingyue's previous plan.

The leader of the first district used the time-stopping device once before, for about five seconds.

The cocoon of the Fourth District leader has been verified; the Thirteenth District leader led a group with a combat power of over 600,000 and fought for a long time without any results.

The first district is not as strong as the previous 13 district alliance. Even with the time stop device, five seconds is not enough to break through the defense.

"Who do you think will win?" Liu Yuyao asked.

Jiang Qingyue held her notebook without saying a word.

Long Jiuxing held Yan Bao and Zai Zai in his arms, holding the Burning Heaven Fire Cudgel in his hand, showing no interest in any discussion.

Zhao Mingyue was playing with her nails with her head down.

Shen Yi, who had been silent all along, suddenly chimed in: "The first district will win."

His tone was very confident.

"Why?" Liu Yuyao asked, glancing sideways.

"intuition."

Liu Yuyao stared at him silently for a while without saying anything more; she would never believe his intuition.

Perhaps they received some information from the Supreme God, or perhaps as the Supreme God's envoy in the Eighth District, they know things that the other beings cannot access.

The first group flew towards the arena.

"start."

As soon as the main myth finished, the leader of the fourth district hurriedly took out his own cocoon and covered himself with it.

Wow, this guy is ruthless!

People in all districts couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

It's important to understand that it's not just one person going on stage now, but the entire district. The leader of the fourth district, as the strongest person in the fourth district, is the only one who can rival the leader of the first district.

He was terrified of the other party's time-stopping device, so he wrapped himself up in the cocoon, which meant that he had abandoned all his subordinates.

This is not over yet.

The next moment, the remaining people in the fourth district formed a strange array. The instant the array was formed, everyone was drained of their strength, and all their power was concentrated into a bead the size of a button.

With a loud "boom," the bead exploded, and a powerful shockwave spread out.

Even though the leader of the First District reacted extremely quickly, the First District still suffered countless casualties.

How cruel!

Everyone was stunned.

At first, those weaker races trembled with fear, thinking they would be the first to die.

But no one expected that the first regions they would face were all powerful ones, including District 8, District 50, District 1, and District 4, all of which had leaders with a combat power exceeding 600,000.

Even more unexpectedly, the Fourth District sacrificed everyone except the leader, yet still failed to wipe out the enemy.

Although the casualties in the first district were heavy, there were still many survivors in the first district to begin with, and even after a number of people died, there were still dozens left.

They collected the corpses of their people and the quantum computers into their space, and then they began grinding.

There is no time limit; as long as one side is not completely wiped out, the game can continue indefinitely.

After the people in the first district took the healing potion, they went forward in several shifts to slowly wear down the enemy. When they were too exhausted, another shift would take over.

The incredibly hard cocoon was gradually destroyed, and eventually the leader of the Fourth District was forced to emerge.

The leader of the first district didn't have a time-stopping device, nor did she have any subordinates to help her. She also had a combat power of over 600,000, but her explosive power was stronger, and her physical body was also stronger.

Just as Shen Yi predicted, the first district won.

Since the fourth zone had no points, the first zone was unable to inherit the opponent's points this time and only received a reward of 1 point.

On the light screen leaderboard, the text in Zone 8 shrank, Zone 1 climbed to the top, and the two experimental zones tied for first place.

Following that, numerous powerful experimental zones, such as Zone 34, Zone 33, and so on, took the stage one after another, targeting only the weaker races.

The fact that District 9 suffered a setback did not stop everyone from picking on the weak.

After all, weaker races may possess powerful weapons, but who says that powerful races don't have powerful weapons?

When nothing is certain, you should naturally choose the weakest option.

One player finishes their turn, another takes their place, and the standings are constantly changing.

Due to the rules, each experimental area, whether passive or active, must take the stage at least once.

Therefore, everyone was very enthusiastic in the early stages. The races that were selected had never fought before, so there were no points to inherit. Each victory would only earn 1 point.

As a result, many players tied for first place on the leaderboard, and the text in Zone 8 has shrunk to almost invisible.

With each battle, one experimental zone becomes completely empty.

Wang Defa had already started calculating: "If there are no unexpected events, that means each race will choose to play only once, whether voluntarily or involuntarily."

"Adding the four races that died in the first round and the two races that perished together at the start of the second round, there are 94 districts left."

"If each of these 94 districts wins one and loses one, then in the end there will be 47 experimental districts left. If we exclude the last-ranked experimental district from these 47 experimental districts, then this time there will be 46 experimental districts that can survive and leave."

A shocking number.

"That's not right," Wang Defa suddenly said while doing his calculations. "Everyone only gets one chance to play, and the winning team only gets one point. If everyone is tied for first place, how can we have a last-place elimination system?"

Chen Sanyang belatedly realized, "Doesn't that mean that the remaining 46 experimental zones will have to decide who comes in last place?"

"It seems so." Wang Defa nodded: "Because those who died don't count, if we directly eliminate the bottom-ranked players based on the points leaderboard, then there must be someone in last place."

"So here's the question: if everyone has 1 point, how did someone come to be last?"

"Or perhaps only one experimental area has two points, and the rest have one point, then there will only be a positive first place, and no negative first place."

"But the God of War wants to eliminate the last place, which means that no one with even one point is safe. They have to go through a second and third round to ensure they don't end up at the bottom."

Is this god insane?

The experimental zones were filled with criticism.

A few hours later, all areas had been tested. The top line of the leaderboard was crowded with the names of all 47 experimental areas.

Since the entire clan dies and doesn't appear on the leaderboard, and the remaining 47 experimental zones all have a score of 1, everything seems to have returned to square one.

"Jiang Shen, who should we fight?" Chen Sanyang asked.

Nangong Zhao and Liu Yuyao were also asking.

Jiang Qingyue: "No rush."

"I agree."

As soon as Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, Wang Defa eagerly raised his hand, only to realize that he had become a cockroach and his tiny hand was raised in vain.

He quickly explained, "I think Jiang Shen did the right thing. Being chosen was unavoidable, but there aren't many who dare to challenge us. We might as well just wait and see how those regions fight it out, and wear them down."

"Even if we don't use up our ultimate moves, we'll still deplete their stamina and increase their injuries. Then we'll face a group whose combat strength has declined, and our chances of winning will be even greater."

Jiang Qingtian nodded in agreement: "That's right. Not everyone has the essence of a plant doctor like us, which allows them to recover quickly from injuries. If they get injured and can't recover in a short time, their combat strength will definitely be affected."

Shen Yi added, "What's more, everyone has at least one point now. The more matches they play, the more points they inherit. We only need to win one match to inherit multiple points."

Everyone chimed in, expressing their admiration for Jiang Qingyue's decision.

However, before he could offer any praise, he discovered that everyone present was as intelligent as Jiang Qingyue.

No one wanted to go first, and an awkward silence ensued.

The Dog God clearly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen: "Given the lack of enthusiasm from everyone, I will flexibly modify the rules..."

"Whoosh." Before the God of War could even utter the new rules, Jiang Qingyue was already standing on the arena, pointing to the weakest team, Experiment Zone 62: "Come up!"

The leader of the first district stopped when he saw that Jiang Qingyue had already reached the arena.

Not only in the first district, but also in several other experimental districts, the leaders quietly withdrew their steps.

By now, everyone has reached a consensus: it's never a good thing for the dog god to change the rules, and it's better to maintain the status quo than to let it change them arbitrarily.

Long Jiuxing and the others quickly followed to the arena.

The leader of Experimental Zone 62 is dead, and there are only a dozen or so people left. They have no choice but to fly towards the arena.

Without a word, they started fighting.

Jiang Qingyue and her team were far stronger than their opponents, but to avoid being caught off guard, they didn't hold back and unleashed their ultimate moves as if they were free.

They didn't even dare to gather too closely, for fear that if they did, the enemy would throw out a highly destructive special item and wipe them all out in one move.

Fortunately, I was lucky and didn't pick a shady old man.

The battle is over.

"The winner, Zone 8, is awarded 1 point and inherits 1 point from Zone 62."

After the main god made the announcement, the leaderboard changed again. District 8, with a total score of 3, regained its special status as a separate line.

All the ones with one point were pushed to the second line.

After stepping off the stage, countless experimental zones took the initiative to declare war, and no one dared to harbor any illusions anymore.

The points kept changing, from 2 to 4, and the 8th section was squeezed into the second row.

Jiang Qingyue was multitasking, watching the match on the stage while scribbling and drawing in her notebook.

Something's not right, something's still not right.

Sweat dripped from his forehead and rolled down his cheeks onto the paper, blurring the messy notes.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't quite grasp where that slight unease came from. She felt like she was overlooking something, but what exactly was it?
