Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 196: Cat-and-Mouse I Grant You Victory


Primordial Altar.

Through decomposition research, Qi Sheng has already discerned the concept behind the Lord of Jile's new plan.

Before this, while similarly creating players, the Lord of Jile faced a series of unsolvable problems.

First was the player's perception.

Without continuous positive feedback, mimicking his way of creating the Player Corps, most players fled before even starting.

The solution of the Lord of Jile was to enforce a death game, transforming the player's enjoyment into a desperate survival urge under extreme pressure.

After changing the mode, recruiting players willing to face death was no longer an issue.

After all, there was a slim chance of survival upon task completion, but a certain death if the task failed.

Faced with the choice between the hope of living or death, the vast majority of lives choose the former.

Next was the issue of a certain probability of loss during teleportation and death.

This led to some players dying in the teleportation and retrieval phase before even entering the Monster World.

The way to handle this issue was to refine and minimize the structure of the space tunnel.

Doing so meant that not many players could be recruited each time.

Compared to these issues, what the Lord of Jile cared about the most was the resource expenditure exceeding the income.

The original plan of the Lord of Jile was to temporarily shelve this problem, first test the performance of Bliss Players in Monster World before deciding.

Thus, the third round of recruitment testing began.

The Lord of Jile was infuriated by this round of recruitment testing.

He granted the recruited players of this round 20 chances for resurrection and also raised the initial level to Shield Bow Level (Hunting Level: 35).

The results were still massive deaths among Bliss Players.

So incompetent that it was unbearable to look at, brutally beaten by the Player Clan with lower Life Strength than themselves.

They were like a beast restrained, full of strength yet unable to find leverage, each strike so laborious, their movements extremely clumsy.

The Bliss Players appearing in this round, the test results were purely a wasted effort.

A huge waste of the Power of Extreme Joy expenditure.

This test also made the Lord of Jile realize a problem.

The enhancement of strength must be gradual, the growth by pulling out seedlings couldn't allow Bliss Players to harness the power bestowed upon them.

After the third round of testing concluded, the Lord of Jile restructured the Bliss Players system.

Multiple divine meetings were held where internal discussions led to the emergence of a brand new players system.

The Lord of Jile named it: Death Trial.

This was also the point that made Qi Sheng applaud.

The Lord of Jile finally utilized his greatest advantage.

Although the recruitment method was still randomly selecting from the mortals of Jile World.

However, the recruited Bliss Players weren't directly sent to the Monster World, but perform the Death Trial woven by the Lord of Jile in an illusion.

The Death Trial consisted of six rounds, only those who completed the Ultimate Trial would be sent to the Monster World.

Reaching this point, the Lord of Jile had completely abandoned the tactic of "endless," returning to the elite cultivation path in creating the Player Corps.

Records of the Guidance indicate that among the 32 Jile Main Gods, some voices questioned the Lord of Jile, that having chosen the elite cultivation path, why not spend the cultivation resource expenditure on his own clan.

Although the current number of clan members is sparse, that was because the elite cultivation path was taken before.

If there is a demand for quantity, the reproduction method can be changed to implement family planning, increasing the number of new generation clan members.

The response from the Lord of Jile was that he chose the cruel competition of survival of the fittest to select the strong through the Gu Poison Competition.

How could he bear to turn against his own clan members?

The Jile Clan is a whole, not just the Lord of Jile alone.

He wants to lead his clan to ascend to the summit of the Monster World, rather than standing alone at the World Summit by exploiting his clan.

The cultivation of his clan members will not be abandoned, but it still requires some more comprehensive Corps systems to assist.

After the conference ended, the plan for the Death Trial was finalized.

Subsequently, the fourth round of Death Trial recruitment officially began.

In the first round of trials following this recruitment start, the Lord of Jile didn't provide any combat power support to the players.

Evaluating the comprehensive performance of Bliss Players through combat performance, teamwork, and mission accomplishment in three dimensions, then distribute the initialization enhancement resources as points to Bliss Players, allowing them to customize enhancements.

The subsequent rounds of Death Trials were also designed to temper the willpower, combat awareness, etc., of Jile Warriors.

In the eyes of Bliss Players, the cruel Death Trials were merely training courses for rookie warriors in the eyes of the Lord of Jile.

As for those who were eliminated, the Lord of Jile would mercilessly eradicate them.

During this, Evil Language following the Lord of Jile asked a question:

"Among those eliminated, there are not lacking warriors with potential, why not give them even one chance."

The Lord of Jile's answer made Qi Sheng a bit stunned.

This segment of footage was recorded by Guidance.

The Lord of Jile's answer was:

"Luck seems elusive, yet it is a part of strength. I can be sure that in Monster World, there exists what could be termed as fortune, and the 'potential' you speak about, while important, if devoid of the blessing of luck, is but like a seed fallen into cracks of stone, however tenacious, struggling to break through the soil."

After finishing this, the Lord of Jile paused, his tone chillingly rational:

"In the Monster World filled with strong clans, there is too much potential untapped yet perished before starting. In my view, luck and strength are complementary; poor luck means failing to seize the fate's favor at crucial moments, failing to make the most correct choice in those fleeting moments, which in itself is a lack of strength."
