Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 166 Bait and Fishing (Happy New Year everyone!)

World Zone 23.

Luo Xia found himself, after a slight daze, on the rooftop of a tall building.

This building is over 300 meters tall.

The wind howled on the rooftop; from the edge, one could see the surrounding environment.

"This is a steel city."

What you see is a giant city of steel, with every building gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.

"Its gravity is at least tens of thousands of times stronger than Earth's."

Rorschach felt the gravity of the world and casually took a few steps on the rooftop.

As he walked, he reviewed the numerous pieces of information transmitted by the Virtual Universe Company—

Participant: Rorschach (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

Location: World Sector 23

Time: The preliminary elimination will last for 30 days. When the time is up, the entire preliminary round will end, and the winner will be determined by the final score ranking.

Note 1: World Zone 23 is a continent simulated based on the appearance of the "Ironwood Planet" of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in reality. There are a total of 82 cities on the continent, with a land area of ​​1023 million square kilometers.

Note 2: All substances in this realm have a hardness of B9.

Scoring rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also get half of the opponent's points.

Leaderboard rules: Even if someone dies, they will still be ranked if their score is high enough. Even if the preliminary round ends due to death, half of the lost points may still allow them to rank in the top 1001.

Important reminder: Each person has only one life. Upon death, the pre-selection process ends, and half of your points are lost. A detailed leaderboard is attached below…

Luo Xia quickly finished reviewing the data, then stroked his chin and muttered, "According to the points rules, the biggest gains come from starting to kill people in the mid-game..."

He glanced around. "This is a good spot. I'll stay here for now."

Luo Xia sat down on the edge of the building. At a height of over 300 meters, he could see most of the surrounding area.

He had barely sat down when a battle broke out in the distance.

A loud crash came from a main street, and then two figures collided.

The roar was like the starting gun in a 100-meter race; as it rang out, the entire steel city was filled with the sounds of fighting.

Rorschach sat on the edge of the building, watching the others fight with great interest.

Sudden--

A golden light shot from afar and arrived in front of Rorschach in an instant.

It was a young man with a pair of golden wings. He held a golden spear in his hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared coldly at Luo Xia, like a golden eagle spotting its prey on the grassland.

"I've got my eye on you!"

He held up two fingers and drew them across his eyes, pointing at Rorschach.

Luo Xia clicked his tongue. "I was thinking of making a move later, but I didn't expect to be targeted now."

He was sitting conspicuously on the edge of the building; it would be strange if he didn't attract attention.

To the other contestants, Rorschach's move was incredibly arrogant!

Without another word, the golden-winged youth gripped his spear, his entire body gleaming with golden light, and charged toward Luo Xia like a blazing meteor.

However, halfway through his charge, the young man with golden wings suddenly felt a gentle breeze brush against his neck.

Immediately afterwards, he was shocked to find that his head flew up, and in the instant his consciousness left the world zone, he saw his forward-moving body crash helplessly onto the roof of the steel building.

The young man he had targeted as his "prey" remained motionless, simply standing there with a smile on his face as he watched the head fly up.

"The bait's in hand..."

In the very end, the golden-winged youth vaguely heard Rorschach's words, and the next moment, his consciousness also left World 23 and returned to reality.

"That picture!?" The elderly men who had been looking after the golden-winged youth stared in astonishment as he awoke, asking in surprise, "How did you get eliminated?"

The golden-winged youth, called "Natu," subconsciously touched his neck, then said painfully, "I encountered a master, and was killed in an instant..."

One of the elderly men, dressed in a silver robe, asked, "Your domain has reached the sixth level! How could you be killed in an instant?!"

The elderly people were incredulous.

That Tu was a genius who had been carefully nurtured by these realm lords and possessed the sixth level of the domain. How could he be killed instantly by one person?

Natu recalled the young man with the calm smile on his face and shook his head blankly.

To be honest, he didn't know why he was killed in an instant.

I just felt a slight breeze... and my head fell off! What kind of technique is that?!

……

Virtual Universe, World Zone 23.

After obtaining the head and body of the Golden-Winged Youth, Rorschach found a long steel rod.

He hung the body of the golden-winged youth on a steel rod and placed it on the top of the building.

Like a flag waving in the wind, it is very eye-catching and attracts attention.

"The bait has been laid, now..." Rorschach clapped his hands, looking at his masterpiece, and smiled gently, "Let's see if the fish around here will take the bait."

His actions were undoubtedly provocative.

Soon, people saw the body hanging on the roof of the building, and also saw Rorschach sitting on the edge of the building.

Some people couldn't contain themselves and rushed forward to fight Luo Xia.

Not long after.

Those who rushed up became corpses, which Rorschach hung on the building.

Rorschach, who is recognized by the fundamental laws, is invincible in this preliminary round!

after all.

Of the more than 800 billion people who participated in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, only a small number have stepped into the threshold of comprehending the fundamental laws!

Most participants have only one area of ​​expertise.

They haven't even grasped the principles, nor have they touched the threshold of those principles.

As for Luo Xia, he had already crossed the threshold and entered the "family" of the laws, gaining the recognition of the original law—that is, the "head of the family"!

He is even more of a genius than those super geniuses!

How could these players, who haven't even grasped the rules, possibly be his match?

Three days later, the rooftop of the building was covered with corpses.

Fortunately, these corpses were all at the ninth level of the Hengxing star, so they wouldn't rot and stink, otherwise Luo Xia wouldn't have been able to stay on the top of this building.

"integral……"

After killing another player who had been lured in, Rorschach used his telekinesis to hang the corpse on a steel rod while glancing down at his ranking points.

Participant: Rorschach (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 1892

Rank: 1 2023 2024

"In these three days, I killed 66 players and got more than 1,000 points, but my ranking only rose to more than 100 million."

Luo Xia muttered, "As expected, killing in the early stages is too inefficient. I need to wait until the mid-to-late stages to find those experts and directly plunder half of their points in order to quickly improve my ranking."

Meanwhile, in World 001, Rorschach was fishing.

Luo Feng was also lying in wait.

After killing a few people at the beginning, he found a house to hide in and practiced the first level of the Divine Weapon Technique—the Illusion Sword Style—every day.
