Chapter 31

In Medicine King Valley, Gu Ding and Anthony's discussion went smoothly.

Anthony's request was simple. The Newcomer Ranking Competition would begin in three months. Gu Ding only needed to place in the top fifty in the competition. Hermean Alliance Skyriver Branch would then give him a reward worth a hundred million Star Credits. If he could place in the top ten, the Skyriver Branch's reward would be raised to one billion Star Credits.

Gu Ding would not refuse a win-win situation like this. Even if he could not place in the top fifty, he would not lose anything. All he needed to do was to put his name in the Skyriver Sector when he participated in the competition. He had planned to participate in the competition anyway. Therefore, both sides quickly reached a consensus.

After discussing the relevant matters with Anthony, Gu Ding walked around a little, but he did not expect to attract a lot of attention along the way. His appearance was spread all over the world by the video. The video was placed in the public area. Not only the pharmacologists and temporary residents of Medicine King Valley, but many people who had never been to Medicine King Valley knew about it.

Gu Ding had no choice but to log out of the system.

Gu Ding sat in the cockpit seat and stared blankly at the endless black sky outside the window for a while. Then, he asked, "Neptune, is there any news today?"

"Nothing big," Neptune seemed to be a little bored. "I just heard that Kane has also turned to a new route. This time, he wants to return to the Cosmic Sea. There's also Kohld Blood's Adjudicator Pirate Group. I heard that they're also rushing to the new route. The opening of the new route has excited the Interstellar Pirates of Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. Many of them who had already gone to other Cosmic Nations have changed their route and are preparing to take the new route. "

"It's suddenly lively. I think it's pretty good." Gu Ding grinned. He was the kind of person who liked to be lively. He would go wherever it was lively. He had enjoyed working at Rose Tavern all these years. One of the main reasons was that he could meet all kinds of different people and hear all kinds of different stories. It was these people and things that gave him the idea of becoming an Interstellar Pirate.

When he thought of Kane and Kohld Blood, Gu Ding felt that these people with a hundred million Star Credits bounty were all super strong. He had seen Kane in action. His movements were so fast that the naked eye could not follow them. Since Kohld Blood's bounty was about the same as Kane's, his strength would definitely be similar.

"You really need to improve your strength quickly. If you enter the new route with your current level, you'll be eaten up without leaving even your bones." Neptune spoke his mind without any taboo.

"I understand. There should be a lot of powerhouses on the new route who are as strong as Uncle Cain. There might even be people who are stronger." Gu Ding nodded. He had chosen to take the new route, but it did not mean that he was naive or ignorant. In fact, he did not overestimate his own strength. He was very clear about what he could do and what he could not do.

"Connect me to the Virtual Colosseum! He first practiced all the moves that he could learn with a 100 point Cell Index in the Virtual Arena. This way, once my body's strength reaches a certain level, I'll be able to use the moves directly after familiarizing myself with them. This saves me a lot of time to practice the moves. "Gu Ding planned to enter the Virtual Arena and continue practicing Ultimate Arts.

"This doesn't solve the root of the problem, but that's all we can do for now." Neptune was also quite helpless about Gu Ding's physique, so he immediately helped Gu Ding connect to the Arena.

After entering the Arena, Gu Ding saw his latest information:

Name: This killer is not afraid of the cold

Gender: Male

Gender: 15 years old

Challenge Count: 10

Wins: 10

Failure: 0

Draw: 0

Winning Percentage: 100%

Points: 55

Honor: Ten consecutive wins

[Honor Description: Obtain ten consecutive victories in the arena to accumulate points. One point for the first match, two points for the second match, three points for the third match … Ten points for the tenth match.

"Can these points be exchanged for items?" Gu Ding seemed to have seen the corresponding explanation somewhere before.

"Yes, in the Beginner Arena, the purchasing power of one point is equivalent to one hundred Star Credits. Therefore, many people who are not very rich come here to compete and then sell their points or use them to purchase items directly, "Neptune added to explain. "Of course, there are also some rich people who accumulate points just to show off their strength. Therefore, they often buy points from people with higher points."

"Directly buying and selling points?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. "Doesn't the system prohibit it?"

"No, it's tacitly allowed by the system because the system will charge a 5% handling fee for every transaction," Neptune continued to explain.

"Points can be transferred from one person to another?" Gu Ding had only been to the Arena once, so there were still many things he did not quite understand.

"It can be transferred. Otherwise, how can it be traded?"

"That doesn't make much sense, does it? Can't other people see the number of battles and winning percentage? "Gu Ding felt that it was meaningless to just accumulate points.

"You can spend money to set up permissions so that ordinary people can't check it and only show one point outside." Neptune laughed when he heard that. "Moreover, as far as I know, rich people can also buy their opponents to increase their points and winning percentage. As long as you give them enough money, they can make the other party admit defeat. In the Arena, there are many people who are short of money. They compete for money. "

"It seems that unspoken rules exist everywhere." Gu Ding shook his head and sighed.

"There are many things that can't be completely eliminated. They can only be regulated and controlled. The Arena system is actually doing quite well overall. The entire market is still very regulated, and the overall order is almost unaffected. "Neptune gave his opinion.

"Just don't come to me for this kind of thing. I can earn some pocket money while practicing Ultimate Arts. That's the biggest use of the Arena for me. "Gu Ding also knew that there was no way to eliminate such things.

"Don't underestimate any opponent in the Arena. Even in the beginner Arena, there are masters. I've just looked up the combat video data. If you meet someone in the top 100, you have no chance of winning at all. This is only the Arena in the Skyriver Sector, "Neptune reminded him.

"It's okay. It's not embarrassing to lose if I meet a real powerhouse." Gu Ding grinned and pressed the random battle button.

"Miss, the kid from last time is here again." In the System Operations Room, a staff member saw Gu Ding's matchmaking information and dialed a number.

"Got it. I'll be there right away. You guys can match him with someone ranked around ten thousand." A female voice came from the other end of the communicator. It was the woman who had eaten a lollipop in the System Operations Room.

"They've assigned you with someone ranked around ten thousand. This rank is basically for powerhouses who have awakened their abilities. Be careful." Neptune revealed the matchmaking information to Gu Ding in advance before the results were out.
