After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

what is that?

Xu Mu cast a curious glance and saw six coffins placed on either side of the arena. Six fully armed contestants drank various potions and then entered the coffins in various postures.

"Oh!"

The coffin lids closed at the same moment, and steam began to rise from the base.

Xu Mu had excellent eyesight. His pupils shrank as he saw the blue liquid rising in the coffin, gradually filling the entire coffin and drowning the contestant inside.

This?

"Superstar of the century! Kill him for me!" An older man beside him said with red eyes and a hoarse voice, "If you lose, I won't be able to survive either!"

Oops.

Are you a gambler?

Xu Mu patted his shoulder and asked, "Brother, what's going on? Aren't they fighting in the ring? Why are they lying down?"

The old man glanced at Xu Mu and said, "How can we fight if we don't lie down? Are we going to fight in person?"

"?"

How to fight if it’s not a real person?

hum-

The next moment, six beams of light appeared on the field!

Xu Mu quickly turned his head and saw six translucent shadows appearing on both sides of the field. They were the six players who had just lay in the coffins!

"..."

Xu Mu was stunned at first, then ecstatic!

This, this!

This is it!

"Young man, is this your first time watching a game?"

On the other side, an old man spoke with a smile.

He pointed at the competition field and said to Xu Mu, "That container is called the 'Duel Chamber' and is one of the miracles bestowed by the Goddess. When a competitor lies inside it, they can transform into a 'Holy Spirit' in a specific area. The Holy Spirit inherits all the abilities and equipment of the competitor. Hundreds of years ago, this equipment was used by major countries to train their top warriors. Now, it has become a mature, globally popular sport: Holy Spirit Duel!"

Holy Spirit Duel...

Xu Mu asked, "Old man, will this hurt?"

"No. It's just that the defeated will become very weak and will recover after a few days of recuperation."

Xu Mu asked again: "Is it... profitable?"

"Making money? Look at how many people are here!" The old man gestured around. "This is just a relegation tournament, not the A-League. When the World Cup starts, it's no exaggeration to say the streets are packed. Those top players are easily worth millions of gold coins. Tell me, are you rich?"

will not die.

There is money to be made.

You can also use the abilities you get in the game...

This is an activity tailor-made for players, no wonder Brother Chen gave Xu Mu the ticket!

I'm afraid Brother Chen only discovered the "Holy Spirit Duel" after his arm was broken, otherwise he would have become famous, so how could he end up bankrupt and commit suicide?

Xu Mu looked at the characteristics of his "Underworld Fighter" and really didn't know how to lose.

He turned around and asked, "Old man, if I want to participate in the competition, what should I do?"

The old man was stunned and shook his head. "Don't even think about it! The Holy Spirit Duel is a stage for the strong! Even the B-level league is at least a stage for masters above level 50 - do you think this is an adventure? Anyone can participate."

I'm too lazy to argue with you.

Xu Mu decisively stood up and left the city arena.

what match?

I don't like watching it.

Chapter 9 #009 Here I come

The Holy Spirit Duel is indeed a hot topic on the Blue Star, and Xu Mu found relevant information without much effort.

There are two main ways for ordinary people to participate in the competition.

One is the club's youth training. The club will look for good seedlings from all over the place, start training from a young age, and they can enter the field after reaching the standards.

In today's highly standardized world, this is the most common way;

However, the Blue Star is vast, and it is inevitable that there will be some untapped talents. In order not to miss out on talents, there are "Adventurer Cups" in various parts of the Blue Star to discover talents.

The Free City also has the Adventurer's Cup.

Registration is at the Adventurer's Guild.

What else is there to say?

It must be said that Xu Mu's current attributes are very bad, and he can't be compared with his heyday, but the compensation of the King of Eternal Loneliness is very good. This "Underworld Fighter"——

what?

Not to say it is invincible, but at least it is one of the best.

Playing a game shouldn't be a problem.

Xu Mu came to the Adventurer's Guild alone and asked -

"How much? Three gold coins for the entry fee?!"

"Yes, it takes three gold coins to participate in the Adventurer's Cup."

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, then confirmed, "Miss, are you serious... Do you know how much you can buy with three gold coins? Those are gold coins, not copper coins!"

The teller wore a business-like smile and said, "Sir, please calm down. The Adventurer's Cup is a public event, and we need a certain threshold to ensure it's exciting. Three gold coins is not a small amount of money. This is the threshold."

I……

Didn’t they say that anyone can participate?

Xu Mu looked at his wallet——

The King of Eternal Loneliness did not give him any money, and the only gold coin he had on him was the one given to him by Nanasha.

He had been taking taxis all day and had spent almost thirty silver coins. Now he only had about one hundred and fifty silver coins left.

Three gold coins.

It’s really not a small amount.

Seeing his silence, the teller continued, "Sir, this Adventurer's Cup will begin in three days. If you miss it, you'll have to wait a year to participate again."

Three days.

Three gold coins.

If you miss it, you have to wait a year.

Xu Mu looked at the wall covered with commissions and asked, "Is there any commission that can earn me three gold coins in a short period of time?"

The teller was very experienced. "Yes, yes... The president of the Sky Dome Merchant Guild has issued a commission, seeking a seasoned adventurer to teach swordsmanship. The reward is one gold coin per day. Sir, what is your adventurer level?"

Xu Mu remained calm. "I haven't received any commissions, and I haven't even registered. Of course, my adventure level is zero."

The teller smiled brightly. "Ah, a newbie? Sir, I'm sure a newbie wouldn't make three gold coins."

Oh.

why is it like this?

Xu Mu was silent for a moment, not knowing what to do.

The teller cleared his throat and continued, "Sir, if you are confident in your abilities, you can recommend yourself to a prominent figure in the city. The Adventurer's Cup accepts recommendations, and if the recommender is famous enough, you can participate without paying any registration fee."

Really?

Xu Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Is Captain Nanasha of the Military Police well-known?"

The teller smiled and said, "That's a big deal. If it's Captain Nanasha's recommendation, I think the organizer will accept it."

Okay.

After going around in circles, you still have to ask for help from others.

……

……

"Nanasha, please, please! Please arrange a guard for me, otherwise I won't pass the test!"

Military Police, Nanasha's office.

A girl in a cloak clasped her hands together and begged desperately.

Nanasha was unmoved. She glanced at the girl and said, "This is your own problem."

"You can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

"That's your problem."

The girl pulled her arm and said, "Nanasha, aren't we friends? Please!"

Nanasha coldly shook her off and added, "The military police have their own duties. They can't just arrange it for you. I can't do anything about it."

dong dong dong.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

A military policeman opened the door and came in, saying, "Captain Nanasha, Xu Mu from yesterday is here again. He said he wants to see you for something."

Xu Mu...

Nanasha thought for a moment, looked at the girl again, and said, "Please ask him to come in. Anya, you go wait inside first."

"Yes."

The military police turned and left, but a moment later, Xu Mu appeared at the office door.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Captain Nanasha, are you busy? I'm sorry to bother you by coming here without asking."

Nanasha's expression was cold. "Mr. Xu, what are you doing here? Have you committed another crime and are turning yourself in to seek leniency? Let me guess, it's theft this time?"

"That's impossible... Well, this is it. Captain, are you familiar with the 'Adventurer's Cup'?"

"Adventurer's Cup?"

Nanasha paused, and glanced at Xu Mu in surprise: "You want to participate in the Adventurer's Cup?"

Xu Mu nodded. "Yes. I've thought about it carefully. What you said this morning is true. I used to be a bit timid and cowardly, and I wasn't really like a man. As the saying goes, knowing shame leads to courage. I've decided to establish a completely new set of values, focusing on cultivating an enterprising spirit and masculinity, striving to become an upright and upright man. Isn't the Adventurer's Cup about to start? This is the starting point of my choice!"

"go on."

What did you say?

Xu Mu gritted his teeth and continued, "However, the registration fee for the Adventurer's Cup is far too high. You know my situation well... I simply can't afford it. How about you recommend me and waive the three gold coins registration fee?"

Nanasha curled her lips and said, "Hmph... I do have a recommendation quota, but I've already used it."

"Then I'm going back."

Xu Mu got up and left.

"and many more."

But Nanasha stopped him.

She continued, "Although I don't have a spot anymore, if you're willing to do me a small favor, I think someone would be willing to advance your registration fee—come out."

Click.

The inner door opened and a cloaked figure came out.

Judging from the body shape, this should be a woman.

Her face and body were covered by a black cloak, and her height, weight, and features were impossible to discern. Judging from her exposed red lips, she must be a very attractive woman.
