Chapter 321

There were not many people below Deity Level who passed the test. There were only thirty-three people in total, and Gu Ding's crew took up six spots. Among the thirty-three, nearly twenty people barely passed. Their Attack Power was only two and a half stars or three stars. In reality, there were more than two thousand people who took the test before they reached Deity Level.

This passing rate was normal. After all, there were three ranks between Demigod Level and 1-Star Lower Deity Level. Those who could pass the test at Demigod Level were at least two-star geniuses or above.

Many of the people on the spaceship recognized Gu Ding. The powerhouses whose cultivation was 5-Star Lower Deity Level were disdainful of Gu Ding's crew's test results, but everyone on the spaceship was shocked by the strength of Gu Ding's crew. This was because they were well aware of the effect of cultivation limitations on attack power. The lower one's cultivation, the less advantageous they would be in this test.

"Among the ten thousand people, the thirty-three of you have the weakest cultivation. I don't think you've been to the Cosmic Sea or come into contact with the Zerg Tribe, right?" Gatins suddenly spoke after everyone sat down.

The group nodded and looked at Gatins. Although some of them had looked up some information about the Zerg Tribe on Skynet, an explanation from the Federal Government's lieutenant general was definitely more practical than Skynet's.

"Then I'll explain it briefly." Gatins took good care of the genius-level powerhouses. "The Zerg Tribe is currently one of the three peak tribes in the Cosmic Sea. This tribe is almost all natural warriors, and the most terrifying thing is that they have the strongest reproductive ability of all species. Any low-level Queen Mother can produce at least ten thousand Zerg Tribe warriors a day. As for high-level Queen Mothers, they can produce at least a million Zerg Tribe warriors a day. Moreover, those Zerg Tribe warriors don't need to grow at all. They can participate in battle as soon as they are born. This is a powerful advantage that no other species can match.

"The lowest level of Zerg Tribe warriors is called Soldier Level. This level is equivalent to our human Lower Deity. Each level is also divided into one to five stars, but the combat effectiveness of each level is a small level higher than us humans. A one-star Soldier Level Zerg Tribe's combat effectiveness is comparable to a two-star Lower Deity. A two-star Soldier Level Zerg Tribe's combat effectiveness is comparable to a three-star Lower Deity, and so on. However, this is only the level of ordinary Zerg Tribe warriors.

"The ordinary warriors of the insectoids are the easiest to deal with. However, other than ordinary Warriors, there were also some people with specialties, such as those who were good at attacking, defense, or speed. This type was known as the special insectoid warriors. If it was a Unique Insect Race that was good at attacking, a One-Star Soldier Rank Insect's attack power would be comparable to a Three-Star human's combat power. If it was a mutated Zerg that was good at defense, the defense of a One-Star Soldier would be comparable to a human's Three-Star Combat Power. There are also speed types … "

"Of course, although the mutated insectoid warriors are strong, they aren't the strongest among those of the same rank. There was also an extremely rare type of Zerg Warriors known as Elite Warriors. This type of warrior was not controlled by the Queen Mother, but was produced by a certain probability. Our scientists have studied the pattern. The probability of a Queen Mother producing an Elite Warrior is about one in ten thousand. In other words, only one Elite Warrior would appear out of ten thousand Zerg warriors. As for the elite warriors, every single one of them was at the level of a human monster. They could fight at least three ranks above them. The longer the time it takes for an Elite Warrior to be born, the stronger they would be. There have been powerhouses who were four or five ranks above them.

"To put it bluntly, if we were to encounter an Elite Warrior, I estimate that less than five people on this spaceship would survive." None of them refuted Gatins's words. He continued, "Do you know why my screening this time was based on attack power and not on comprehensive combat power? Even the most common One-Star Soldier Rank Insect Tribe would need a Two-Star Attack Power to break through its defense. As for the One-Star Soldier Rank defense-type insectoid, you would need at least a Three-Star Attack Power to break through its defense. No matter how high your comprehensive combat power is, it would be useless if you did not have enough attack power.

"If you want to survive in the ruins, you must first learn to observe the strength and species of the insects. Only after evaluating your own strength can you make a move. Of course, if you have the strength to crush those Zergs, you can kill as many of them as you want. You don't have to worry about anything at all. Every insect is a merit point. "When he said the last sentence, Gatins glanced in Biggie's direction.

Gatins's explanation had indeed broadened Gu Ding and the others' horizons.

The Ore ruins were located in the Ore Sector, so it did not take long for the spaceships to reach the location of the ruins. They floated in mid-air, waiting for the ruins to appear.

Space-time ruins were hidden in another space-time when they were not opened. A total of eighteen spaceships stayed in the air for nearly twenty minutes before the space around them started to shake.

Fortunately, the spaceships were parked at the outermost edge of the shaking, so they were not affected. After all, the Federal Government had opened the Ore ruins many times over the years. They were quite familiar with the ruins and knew where the spaceships would not be affected.

Of course, due to the space shaking, the spaceships still vibrated with music. This caused Gu Ding and the others to look out the window.

The tremors lasted for nearly ten minutes, and a crack slowly appeared in the void. As time passed, the crack grew larger and larger. Finally, it completely burst open, revealing a huge black cavity that looked like a human opening its mouth. The big mouth seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and it continued to expand until it reached a height of thousands of kilometers before stopping.

The scene was so spectacular that the newcomers, including Gu Ding, could not take their eyes off it.

Just as everyone was curious about what would appear behind the black cavity, a rumbling vibration came again. This time, the vibration was even stronger than before. Although sound could not be transmitted in the vacuum, Gu Ding and the others could vaguely hear the roar caused by the vibration.

"This roar has exceeded the physical level and reached the spiritual level," Neptune also heard the sound and explained in Gu Ding's ear.

As the roar in their heads approached, a metal door the color of black iron slowly emerged from the black cavity. The door completely filled the entire black cavity. It was thousands of kilometers high and nearly six hundred kilometers wide. It was like a giant fortress, exuding a vicissitude of life.

On the giant door, there was a relatively abstract picture carved, which Gu Ding and the others could not understand. Neptune tried to take a picture, but a mysterious force blocked the picture. All the pictures he took were dark and there was nothing. He had no choice but to memorize the picture himself, not missing a single line.

After the door appeared, the space quickly stabilized. The original vibration disappeared, and the door finally opened slowly …

"Alright, attention all spaceships. You can now open the hatch and let everyone through the door." Seeing the door open, Gatins gave orders to the other spaceships through the communicator.

The hatch of the other spaceships opened immediately, and many deity-level powerhouses jumped out of the spaceships and flew toward the door.

Gatins looked at the other seventeen spaceships' hatch and found nothing unusual. He waved at Gu Ding and the others. "Don't resist, I'll send you through."

Only then did everyone realize that a transparent bubble had condensed and formed outside their bodies, wrapping each of them in it. Then, the bubble floated up. At that moment, the hatch finally opened, and bubbles quickly flew out of the hatch toward the open metal door.

Gu Ding and the others felt a sense of novelty, but Tagore did not seem to like the feeling. He stretched out his claws to scratch the bubble wrapping around him, but he was reprimanded by Neptune. Only then did he retract his claws in embarrassment. He lay in the bubble unhappily and looked around with his big eyes.

The speed at which everyone was wrapped in the bubble was no slower than those deity-level powerhouses.

When the deity-level powerhouses saw this group of people's bubbles, they also felt a little strange. Some even came up and poked them a few times, but no one took the initiative to attack.

Gu Ding also saw that it was pitch black behind the door. Anyone who flew in was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, Gu Ding and the others plunged into it.

Gu Ding only felt his vision go black, and then he heard a soft pop. It was the sound of a bubble bursting, and then his body fell quickly.

When his feet were steady, his eyes lit up, and he looked around him. It turned out to be an open square. The square was so large that it would have no problem accommodating millions of people at the same time. On the square, apart from himself, there were also many other people standing there, looking around in confusion. However, outside the square, there was a white fog, and nothing could be seen at all.

Gu Ding quickly found Lilliath and the others, as well as Robert, who had entered the door alone before, and the group gathered.

Not long after, when it seemed that everyone had arrived, an old voice came from the sky.

"Now that ten thousand human warriors are here, I will explain the rules of the game in the Auer ruins."

The noisy square suddenly quieted down, and everyone listened attentively to the next words of the voice.

"The game time is one month. During this month, everyone can hunt Zergs individually or in small groups, but the maximum number of people in each group is ten. If the number of people in a group exceeds the limit, the number of kills will be deemed invalid. Every Zerg killed will earn you a corresponding number of merit points. As for how the merit points will be distributed within the group, you are free to discuss among yourselves. Merit points can be exchanged for rewards in the Merit Hall. "

As the old man spoke, the fog outside the square finally dissipated, and the outline of a magnificent hall slowly appeared. In the middle of the hall, the words "Merit Hall" were very eye-catching.

"As for how merit points are earned, I will explain in detail. Killing an ordinary Zerg warrior of the same cultivation level as yourself will earn you one merit point. A mutated Zerg will earn you five merit points, and an elite Zerg will earn you eighty merit points. Killing an ordinary Zerg warrior will earn you ten merit points, a mutated Zerg warrior will earn you fifty merit points, an elite Zerg warrior will earn you eight hundred merit points … and so on.

"However, the level beyond that I am talking about is based on a lower rank 1-star deity. For those whose cultivation level is not deity-level, the level beyond will be calculated on the basis of a lower rank 1-star deity. However, the merit points of a demigod will be calculated on the basis of double. As for those whose cultivation level is not even demigod, the merit points will be calculated on the basis of five times.

"In other words, a lower rank 1-star deity will earn you one merit point for killing an ordinary 1-star Soldier Level Zerg warrior, but a demigod will earn you two points, and those who are not even demigods will earn you five points. Killing mutated Zergs and elite Zergs will be calculated on the same basis. "

"Next, I'll give everyone a token to record their merit points." As soon as the old man's voice rang out, tens of thousands of black light beams rained down on everyone like a meteor shower. All the experts present caught them firmly in their hands. Everyone got one, not one more, not one less. "After the token is bound by blood, it can be stored in your body and your merit points will be recorded automatically. Once you die, the token will become an ownerless object, but the merit points recorded in it will not disappear. The merit points in an ownerless token can be directly transferred to another token. Also, an ownerless token can also be transferred to another token with the consent of the owner. "

"In other words, you can earn merit points by killing people?" The one-eyed man called Dulong stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. The smile on his face was slightly ferocious.

Many people who were originally very close to him took a few steps back, afraid of being targeted by him because his performance in the test was also very strong.

"You can kill people, but you will have to deduct merit points for killing people. For every person you kill, 10,000 merit points will be deducted. If your merit points are negative at the end of the month, I will directly kill you. Therefore, before you kill someone, you must ensure that your merit points do not become negative.

"Of course, the merit points can be exchanged for rewards. At the end of the month, the 100 people who have accumulated the most merit points will receive a free reward. The higher the ranking, the more generous the reward will be. The reward for the top ten, in particular, will be far more generous than you can imagine. Of course, before the end of the month. Everyone's merit points can only be seen by the owner. Unless the owner dies and the token becomes an ownerless object, the person who obtains the token can also see the merit points. "

"Old Sir, when you say accumulated merit points, do you mean the final remaining merit points or all the merit points that have been used up?" A young man suddenly raised his hand and asked.

"Accumulated merit points are all the merit points that you have obtained, including the ones that have been used up." The old man explained, "If there are no other questions, then this is as far as I can explain the rules of the game. Before everyone starts hunting, I have a piece of bad news — most of the functions of the smart devices in your hands cannot be used here … "
