Stop, I'm about to become a boss!

Chapter 185 Special Circumstances and Ladder Trials

Linton was also at a loss, not to mention Iris was amazed by this state of being close to what he wanted.

Although when I first obtained this buff, my luck was significantly improved compared to others, but it was far from reaching the level where whatever I wanted would fall in front of me.

Things like luck always contain uncertain factors. It's not luck that you can get what you think, it's called the law of karma!
strangeness.

too weird.

Linton frowned slightly.

There must be a demon in everything that happens.

Firstly unlocking skills, and then getting what he wants, Linton feels that everything is not normal since he entered this secret realm.

"I always feel that something is not quite right."

After thinking about it, Linton couldn't grasp the fleeting feeling and express it into reality with words.

"Sir." Iris' voice woke him up from his thoughts, "What if this happens again?"

Miss Knight was a little distressed.

People fall from the sky, what if they are in danger?
But if you take the initiative to solve the opponent, wouldn't this violate the original intention before?
If there are more people who drop, what will happen if they get on the list?

"Should not be."

Linton smiled awkwardly.

He never thought that one day, good luck would become a big problem.

After pondering for a moment, Linton said, "Iris, let's go in the middle."

"Huh?" Iris tilted her head, not knowing why, "The middle area is all gray on the map, so it shouldn't be open yet?"

"That's right." Linton explained, "Because it's not open, most people don't immediately think about running to the middle. Therefore, in the current period of time, the middle area should be the area with the least disputes." area."

"I don't know the reason for the peculiar situation that happened to us, but it is always right to act low-key, go to the middle area, and avoid disputes."

Iris nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand."

In the following time, the two of them kept an eye on their surroundings, avoiding the sound of fighting, and walked towards the middle area.

On the way, Linton did not stop his thinking.

"Let me think about what the previous plot was like."

When he was a player, he went through all the main story chapters that have appeared, including their current ongoing "Chapter 2".

In fact, according to the normal process of the previous life, the main plot of Chapter 2 should be after the opening of [Brilliant Gladiator], disputes occurred outside the secret realm.

[Brilliant Gladiator] is the only big event in the Molten Kingdom. At this time, everyone's attention will be focused on it, waiting for the good news from the contestants after the end of the secret realm.

As the only villain in "The Kingdom of Heavenly Law", the Truth Society will naturally not let this opportunity to make trouble.

Under the leadership of Sargerus, the congregants of the Truth Church will be driven by their faith, and in the name of "Lapa City", they will charge towards the city of Adrosen, which has just won the championship and has not yet had time to open champagne.

The final result must have been to repel the invading Lapa City with the help of the players, and at the same time drive Sargerus out of the Molten Nation.

However, this does not prevent the truth from disintegrating the actions of the Molten Kingdom.

City-states cannot formally fight with each other. This is a rule set by the Lord of Molten Fire. However, Lapa City broke this rule and launched a "war" against its neighbors.

In this land, the will of the gods is the rule by which everything in the world operates, and if Lapa City violates the rules, it must bear the wrath of the gods.

However, in the eyes of everyone expecting, nothing happened above the sky.

Sargerus just slipped away under the cooperation of other city lords in such a grand manner, and the others did not suffer any injuries except from the battlefield.

The gods didn't respond to the expectations of his believers, and didn't even care about the rules he set being surpassed.

This situation can no longer be called abnormal.

Everyone in Molten Nation is suspicious.

——The Lord of Molten Fire, is he gone?
Logically speaking, the behavior of guessing the gods should also be severely punished.

But in fact, except for the city-state hunting down those who spread rumors in order to maintain order, people's whispers in private were not punished at all.

This undoubtedly aggravated the speculation in people's minds.

— But this kind of speculation is not a good thing!
The people were panicked and the society was in turmoil. Just a few days after the day when Lapa City launched the conflict and was defeated, the entire Molten Kingdom, all city-states, administrative systems and social systems were on the verge of collapse.

"If I remember correctly, the plot of Chapter 2 should end here."

Linton opened his eyes.

In the follow-up plot, someone actually invites the travelers to the next door to the Land of the Blue Land, asking to see their gods, and asking the Lord of the Blue Land to tell the current situation of the Molten Lord to stabilize the country.

And this is already the plot of Chapter 3.

Frowning, Linton looked into the distance and murmured in a low voice.

"But, under my influence, shouldn't this kind of thing happen?"

Due to his current false identity, Sargerus directly handed over the power to him to control, and also told the believers in Lapa City that only Linton can order them.

In this case, it is almost impossible for Sargerus to go past Linton to carry out any plan, and during the intermission, she did not tell him what mission the truth would send her, so in Linton's view, the plot In fact, when his butterfly flapped its wings, something changed.

Linton suddenly thought of something.

"Although the plot has changed under my intervention, I have no way of knowing what the changes have become."

"Could the anomaly that's happening to me now be a chain reaction caused by changes in the plot?"

The more Linton thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, but he didn't know exactly what form the chain reaction would take.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Putting down his thoughts, Linton continued to walk forward with Iris.

When the boundary line began to change obviously, Linton and Iris knew that their destination was coming.

Along the way, they didn't see many contestants from other city-states, but the players met one by one.

Also normal.

Battle royale games used to be very popular in the real world. The pleasure of collecting and hunting made players unable to extricate themselves. But now the players who can participate in [Brilliant Gladiator] are all experienced players. It is almost impossible If you haven't played it, maybe you just pick one out, and you will have thousands of hours of game time.

In this case, their experience is naturally much richer than that of NPCs who are exposed to such rules for the first time.

Different from ordinary battle royale games, [Brilliant Gladiator] personal battle has the same rules, so that everyone has nothing at the time of "birth", but due to the existence of "magic power", everyone is not a pure whiteboard. There is a big gap between the players who have a short time and the NPCs who are stuck in the level on the starting line.

Under such circumstances, players with strong adaptability immediately found a plan that fits their current situation——GOU!

Since the "poisonous circle" of personal warfare is not randomly refreshed within the circle, but shrinks proportionally from the outside to the inside center point, the final safe zone is determined from the beginning, but it has not yet been opened.

Therefore, some players gave up the idea of ​​searching for materials in situ and competing for the list, and instead tried to find a stronghold in the central area in order to seek the final victory.

In this regard, Iris commented on the behavior of the sixth child of the players: "These people are ghosts and ghosts."

Linton said leisurely: "Everyone has their own way of playing, it's normal. For some people, happiness is more important than victory, but for most people, they still have a strong desire to compete, otherwise they wouldn't have so much leverage." exists"

"Leverage, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Linton changed the subject, "By the way, we should have reached the central area, right?"

Iris looked around subconsciously.

Along the way they walked, the trees on the road became less and less, and when they approached the edge, they could not be called dense forests at all.

But when they walked out of the forest, what they saw was a desert.

This kind of desolation is not the lonely and empty desolation above the desert, but the "desolation" that is destroyed after flourishing and growing.

In the area in front of it, the sky is full of yellow sand, and there are broken walls and ruins everywhere. From a distance, you can still see paragraphs of words carved on it, as if recording the lost glory of this area.

Iris looked around vigilantly, and asked in a low voice, "Can we... go in?"

On the surface, it seems that there is no restriction here, but no one knows if they will be struck by lightning suddenly falling from the sky when entering an unopened area.

Linton raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "If our luck still exists, maybe there's nothing wrong with it?"

He was a little unsure.

People often say that luck is a part of strength, but he believes that no one will take luck as real strength to publicize to others.

"Then do you want to go in?" Iris asked cautiously, "Or, I will go first"

Linton glanced at her.

Miss Knight smiled awkwardly: "What I mean is that I will replenish the magic power first, so as to warn of possible situations."

Linton casually threw a bottle of recovery potion picked up on the side of the road to her, and snapped his fingers.

The next second, the ground trembled suddenly, and several spirit creatures broke through the ground quietly.

"Don't forget, I'm not locked in skills."

Linton smiled and pointed his fingers, and the summoned undead spirits stepped forward bravely, acting as cannon fodder.

Walking on the ruins mixed with mud and sand, the undead turned left and right until they disappeared quietly within the range that Linton could not control, and nothing unusual happened.

"There seems to be no problem?"

"Then, let's go in."

Linton took the lead and calmly stepped into the boundary line between the forest and the ruins.

Iris hurriedly followed, looking left and right at the same time, and looking at the sky from time to time, the guard attribute was directly full.

After finding that there really seemed to be no danger, Iris whispered: "It really came in, where are we going now?"

"Look over there." Linton pointed into the distance, "Isn't that very clear?"

Iris looked in the direction he was pointing.

There, the golden light is dazzling, pouring down from the sky, forming a slightly inclined golden light curtain.

Thinking of one of the rules, Iris murmured, "Is there [ladder]?"

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

"Looking at the [ladder], is it really possible to go to heaven?"

So, the two of them moved forward side by side, towards the direction of the [Ladder].

However, just as their backs were about to disappear into the yellow sand, a person suddenly jumped out of the forest.

"Fuck, how did they get in?"

The man looked at the two blurred figures in the distance in amazement, and touched his bald head in confusion.

Not long ago, he saw a lucky person who broke into it and was sent back to the spring by thunder from the sky. He was so scared that he didn't dare to take a step forward, for fear that he would end up in the same end.

But why, the two people in front seem to have nothing to do?
"Could it be that there is a special route to skip class?"

The bald player imitated the walking posture of the two of them, and then compared the direction they came from. They followed almost the same path and prepared to rush into it.

However, just as he stepped into the yellow sand, there was a heart-pounding roar in the sky.

"boom--"

As a loud noise fell, the land returned to calm again.

Linton stopped, looked at the long golden ladder in front of him, and said.

"Just looking at the appearance, it does look a bit [ladder]."

They couldn't see it from a distance, but when they got closer, they realized that the scale of this long golden staircase was far beyond their imagination.

Judging from the area it occupies, it does not belong to some hills at all, and the height that goes straight into the clouds, no mountain dares to match it.

On its body, the golden light is shining, and occasionally it jumps up and down like a flame, and every time it jumps, it will disturb the magic power in the air, like a tide that should be calm in the sea.

Iris forcibly calmed down her disturbed breathing, raised her face, her beautiful eyes were full of shock: "How many levels are there?"

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps." Linton answered her question.

As for why he knew, it was also very simple.

[[Ladder Trial]: After starting [Climbing the Ladder], you will get the effect of [Heavy Divine Might]. 】

[[Heavy Kamui]: You are bearing unimaginable pressure, every step you take is like crossing an endless abyss]

[[Ladder] has a total of 99 steps, and 12 steps will be opened every 110 hours. Whenever a new stage opens, the "pressure" given by [Heavy Kamui] will be strengthened]

[This is the only way to meet the gods, and if you want to truly achieve this achievement, what you need to pay is not only "piety", but also "perseverance", and - "strength". 】

"Tsk, as expected of God, it's not easy to see Him."

Linton raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Then, let's try."
