Chapter 371 - Merging of Worlds 36

The first combined server tournament Finals

/*unedited*/

The top four people of the trials have been chosen and Shin Jiao was one of them. So that means in the combined servers there are only four people who had received a special reward, and the special rewards were, a dagger, a sword, a helm, and a cape.

The reason for the special rewards to be as such is because of the choices of the players. When the contest begins they were asked for their preference for a special reward. And for Shin Jiao he wrote a helm.

Why a helm?

Because in a fight a person's head is one of the most vulnerable targets, so a helmet is a very important armor.

hin Jiao checks the attribute of the helm he had and from its stats it provides, he was very satisfied.

The helm will provide him additional stats of intelligence+1, endurance+2, and a special attribute of preventing headshots.

This only means that he would receive any fatal hit to the head as long as he wore the helm.

With these stats Shin Jiao is already satisfied. But he didn't wear the helm yet and just check it from his inventory.

As he looks around he immediately noticed the other people who got the special reward. A young woman wearing a Viking's armor and thick fur coat is wielding a large sword and waves it in the air.

Then from a group of people he saw a man wearing a red cape which seems to be alive as it waves behind his back.

Shin Jiao then noticed a Chinese girl wearing a light blue dress with her s.e.xy shoulders exposed making her look elegant and charming. She is wielding a dagger and would make it fly around her every now and then.

Shin Jiao now determined who those people are and were truly amazed at those who received the special reward.

Then the man on the stage resumes talking as he explained the situation. After that a large mechanical door open wide and a brilliant light shone from the outside.

Everyone knew that the final quest is about to begin. So everybody prepares their stuff and double-checks their inventory.

Shin Jiao has already prepared himself and has lots of bullets remaining within his bag.

As the group walks towards the door, an excited expression can be seen in their faces. Suddenly before someone can go out of the gate, a person calls the attention of everyone.

"Wait! Wait!" A man wearing knight armor shouted.

Everyone stop walking and turn their attention to the man. As he gained the attention of everyone, he slowly walks in the middle of the crowd.

"I am 'Galfred' a member of 'Omega Chaos Guild'… I would like to propose that we cooperate with each other in fighting against the Green Dragon… I know that you are hesitant but this is our best chance to defeat that monstrosity." The player named 'Galfred' said.

Everyone looks at each other with questioning gaze as they too think of the same thing, but the problem is who would lead them?

"If we cooperate, who will lead us then?" someone from the crowd asked.

"Yes, we don't share the same language here." A woman said with a Chinese accent.

"That's right!"

"…"

Everyone in the crowd turned silent as some didn't understand English and some didn't also understand their own languages.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao commanded in a low tone.

"Central, please access voice translation…"

'Secret command confirmed, Voice translation activated.' Central said in his ears.

The two Russian men who are talking with each other were heard by a black man standing near them. And as soon as the African-American man heard the two Russians his expression was stunned. He actually suddenly understands what two are talking about.

"Hey, We should not waste our time here, this is impossible."

"Yes, we can't understand each other why bother. Let's just fight with all our might."

Those are the things that the black man heard from their conversation as he turns his gaze towards the two Russians.

This situation happened in the everywhere in the area. Everyone suddenly heard translations of their words in the native language of the listener. This is one of Central's functions which can only be accessed by two people Shin Jiao and Central herself.

This function is actually in the commands, but not many would use it as they are playing in their own servers and there is no need for translation. Hence nobody even cared about it.

When the person who grabs everyone's attention noticed that everyone didn't have a language barrier anymore, he showed an ecstatic expression on his face.

"So, we got the language problem off our backs. Then we proceed with the leadership of the group then."

"Who would be the leader?"

"Hey, let's vote it out!"

"Wait! Wait! Let's just decide it with numbers… the guild with the largest members should lead."

"No way! I don't agree with that…"

Suddenly, a man wearing a black cloak walks forward. It was 'Rembrandt', the leader of 'Black Crown Guild'.

"I have a suggestion… We knew that there are 4 people here who have gotten four special items… Before forming a group, why not let those people lead us then." He said with a smile.

When 'Rembrandt' steps forward, Shin Jiao knew the man is plotting something, but he didn't what it is, so he would just watch and see.

As the people look at the three with their special items, they feel that what 'Rembrandt' is saying is correct.

Since Central didn't publicize the top 4 players, they are not aware who the last one is. So they just presume that one of the three is of course the top player.

The woman named 'Volter' steps forward along with 'Xi Mei' and 'Mave'.

'Volter' is a Finnish woman with a white complexion and a large build.

'Xi Mei' is a Chinese girl and a bit small, and she has a childish and cute face which shows that she is still young.

'Mave' is an African-American man in his 30's, with a chiseled and attractive face.

The three showed a strong and domineering aura on their bodies as they stood in the middle of the crowd.

'Mave' walks forward and with his stance it is clear that he is a soldier.

"I will offer my service as a leader… My name is 'Mave' and I am an active soldier of the U.S. Marine corps. If you follow my command, I will do my best to defeat the dragon."

Everyone was in awe after hearing the man's words. Of course, a soldier is proficient in combat, hence they would trust in the man.

Then 'Volter' raised her hand and said.

"I will lead the assault team. I am a part of a professional mercenary group…"

As the two have already stepped up, 'Xi Mei' also raised her hand and said.

"I am a professional gamer… I always excel in long-range combat."

As the three presented themselves the people are in awe of their actual professions. However, everyone is still confused as there should be four of them.

So everyone looks at each other to determine if one of them is actually one of the top 4 players. But of course, they didn't know who it was.

"Don't bother with the last one. I guess what he wanted to have is somewhat shameful that he is not willing to show it to us. Hahaha… What a loser." Suddenly 'Rembrandt' said with a sneer.

"Okay, that is enough… we form a new team which consists of four groups… Alpha… Beta… Charlie… Delta…" the soldier 'Mave' commanded.

"Alpha would be the main assault team, Beta would be the second assault team both long-range and short-range combat, Charlie would be the sentry and command, and Delta would be the long-range group… Now go to the teams according to your specialty."

As the team was formed Shin Jiao also joined. He chose to be in the Beta group and with him he discovers 'Rembrandt' and 'White Reaper'. Those who chose the Beta group have the ability to attack in both close combat and long-range. So this means that 'Rembrandt' has that ability, and surprising to Shin Jiao, the beautiful singer 'White Reaper' also has that ability.

After the large team was formed and was grouped together, 'Mave' gave them each an instruction. In the Beta group, 'Rembrandt' was called the leader. Nobody objected as they didn't know who this person is and just knew that he was the one who put forward such a suggestion of leadership in the teams. Though Shin Jiao knew the shrewdness of 'Rembrandt' he didn't oppose him being a leader, however, if things got out of hand, he would not hesitate to kill the man.

And so the groups were formed and the whole team walks towards the gate.

While walking, 'Rembrandt' suddenly walks beside Shin Jiao and said in a low voice.

"You were able to escape the dungeon unscathed, but in here… I don't think you can keep your life." He said with a sinister smile.

When 'Rembrandt' first saw Shin Jiao when his guild invited him to be cannon fodder, he already felt something is off with him. And when his guild was annihilated in the dungeon and saw that Shin Jiao came out alive, he blamed Shin Jiao for their luck. He immediately thought that if Shin Jiao has entered with them then his guild would be fine.

But because of Shin Jiao, his guild has lost their chance and was killed.

'Rembrandt' was furious and wanted to take revenge on someone and Shin Jiao became his target. So he wanted to threaten Shin Jiao to shake his morale and fighting spirit, that way he can do what he wanted once they got inside a battle situation.

He was confident that he can get rid of a lone player such as Shin Jiao.

As he walked past Shin Jiao, he suddenly heard Shin Jiao muttered…

"That is if you didn't die first…"

Hearing the cold tone of Shin Jiao, 'Rembrandt' felt his body shook unconsciously. However, he never showed it and decided to strike first to prevent Shin Jiao from getting the upper hand.
