Gu Ding's crew naturally saw the news released by the Federal Government and was a little surprised. In this era, although the Federal Government's suppression of Interstellar Pirates had decreased a lot, they had never invited Interstellar Pirates or similar forces to participate in any activities, let alone activities with rewards. Under normal circumstances, even if Interstellar Pirates received benefits from the Federal Government, it was usually those who had received honors from the Federal Government.

"Is this some kind of entrapment plan?" Liliath was the first to raise her doubts. "Trick those Interstellar Pirates with potential, then lock them up and catch them all in one fell swoop."

"It's indeed suspicious for the Federal Government to suddenly release such a news. After all, we Interstellar Pirates are their enemies. It's strange that they say there's a mysterious reward but don't tell us what the reward is. If they really want to attract a lot of powerhouses, it would be more attractive to put up a generous reward. "Neptune also raised some doubts.

"Logically speaking, Interstellar Pirates are the Federal Government's enemies. That's right. However, if there's a stronger enemy, it's not impossible for the Federal Government's higher-ups to temporarily put aside their conflict with Interstellar Pirates, "Mi Coco said as she rested her chin on her hand.

"A stronger enemy?" Gu Ding heard Mi Coco's words and suddenly remembered what Neptune had said about the Outland. "You mean the Mutated Tribe?! If that's the case, it really makes sense. After all, Interstellar Pirates are also humans. Apart from those who are truly anti-human, we also hope that the human race can become stronger. Neptune also told me this morning that the higher-ups of the human race are recently negotiating with the Dark Tribe about something. There's a rumor that a powerful ruin has appeared in an area close to the Dark Tribe. "

"Let me add that before the Federal Government released the news just now, all the rumors on Skynet were wiped out, leaving no trace. Even I can't find any information. It's probably Skynet's doing, "Neptune suddenly said. The whole thing was getting more and more confusing.

"The more that's the case, the more it must have something to do with the ruin." Mi Coco's expression was very firm.

"It seems that the Federal Government only selects the first thousand people. It's very likely that it's a place to enter the ruin. However, there's one thing I don't understand. Since the higher-ups of the two races are paying attention to a ruin like this, it should be a very important ruin. Why did they only choose a few demigods to enter and not the real powerhouses? "Neptune was a little puzzled.

"Maybe it's the restrictions of the ruins. Only demigods are allowed to enter," Gu Ding voiced his speculation.

"This explanation is a little far-fetched because the more powerful the ruins, the fewer restrictions on cultivation. However, we can't rule out the possibility that you mentioned." Neptune felt that Gu Ding's guess was unlikely.

While Gu Ding and the others were discussing this issue, Gu Ding, Ayesha, Lilliath, and Dockett's text notifications rang almost at the same time.

"Everyone on the Demigod Monster Ranking, please participate in the virtual hunting game organized by the Federal Government. We also expected that many people would have questions in their hearts. As for the powerhouses in the top 1000, we will give them a unified explanation. We would also like to state that this event is not targeted at Interstellar Pirates or any other forces. Please feel free to participate! "

Gu Ding and the others received the same message. In addition to the content of the message, the final signature was also shocking. It was the joint signature of the leader of the Federal Government, Abel, and the two deputy leaders.

"It seems that the Federal Government is very concerned about the ranking screening this time. I guess the three hundred people on the Demigod Monster Ranking have received this news. Whatever, since it's related to a powerful ruin, I won't give up my spot in the ruins. " Gu Ding had always felt that he was still a step away from breaking through to deity-level. He had a strange hunch that the possibility of a breakthrough was very high after entering the ruins.

"Judging from this message, I guess all the powerful demigods in the Cosmic Sea will participate in this hunting game. Count me in, I really want to know how powerful I am!" Dockett had always liked to challenge people and was a little eager to give it a try.

"I want to join too. It sounds fun!" Ayesha was also a violent maniac, so she naturally wanted to join in the fun.

Lilliath, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows. "Alright, I also want to see the results of my recent cultivation."

"Can I join too?" Mikko asked with some uncertainty. He seemed to be looking forward to it.

"Of course you can. It's just a virtual game anyway. It doesn't matter if you die." Gu Ding nodded. "I think you and Faust should participate. Take the opportunity to train your actual combat skills. After all, most of the demigod powerhouses in the Cosmic Sea will participate this time. It'll be hard to get a chance to train like this in the future."

Faust was actually a little afraid. Although he was not weak and was comparable to a medium deity, he was not very good at fighting. After hearing Gu Ding's words, he thought that it was just a game. It was not a big deal to participate, so he nodded and agreed.

Biggie, on the other hand, looked a little disappointed. He also wanted to participate in this kind of battle, but his cultivation had exceeded the limit and he could not participate.

Robert and Tagore also exceeded the cultivation limit, so they could not participate either.

As for Bru, he also seemed to have a demigod cultivation. As a Devourer, his combat effectiveness should be amazing. However, he had never shown any combat effectiveness, so no one expected him to do anything. As for this kind of competition, he was not included.

Gu Ding and the others made their decision. When it was time to register, they found that the registration number had reached more than eight hundred thousand.

"There are so many people signing up. In less than half an hour, more than eight hundred thousand people have signed up. How can there be so many demigods in the Cosmic Sea?" Lilliath was very surprised.

"There are actually a lot of demigods in the Cosmic Sea. In addition to the demigods who enter from various Cosmic Nations, there are also a large number of natives in the Cosmic Sea. However, due to the cultivation limit one's strength, there is rarely any news about demigods. There are very few famous demigods, so many people think that there are very few demigods in the Cosmic Sea, "Neptune explained.

"I've signed up. Everyone should take the opportunity to improve in the next three days. In Robert's Domain, that's three months. However, be careful not to accidentally break through to deity-level. "Gu Ding grinned.

Three days passed by quickly, and Gu Ding and the others' combat effectiveness had increased slightly.

The notification of the start of the virtual hunting game was also sent to the intelligent wristwatches of every registered contestant.

Gu Ding and the others followed the notification on their wristwatches and entered the game.

Gu Ding only felt a flash in front of him, and he appeared in a strange area. The environment in front of him made him frown.

There was almost no intact piece of cracked land, and there were black scorch marks. Burning flames and thick smoke rose into the sky everywhere. Not far away, there were several huge volcanoes that towered into the clouds, making rumbling sounds. Meteorites occasionally fell from the sky and hit the ground, making a series of ear-piercing explosions and causing the ground to shake from time to time. It was a scene of the end of the world.

"Welcome to the game, everyone. I'll explain it now."

A female voice came from the sky and clearly reached every player's ears.

"In this game, all the players' physical data is exactly the same as in reality. The various feelings produced in the game, including pain, hallucinations, and so on, are also exactly the same as in reality. Therefore, players with special abilities don't have to worry about their abilities being ineffective here. The items in everyone's storage space were also simulated by Skynet. The types and quantities of items in everyone's storage space were exactly the same. This was because the items in the storage space could also be considered a part of one's strength in a real battle. Everyone can use them freely. Using them in the game will result in a corresponding consumption, but after leaving the game, the number of items in the Inventory will not decrease, so you can rest assured. However, the detection function of the intelligent wristwatch cannot be used in this world. Everyone's detection ability has also been weakened by ten thousand times, and it will also be affected by the environment.

"There are a total of 15.88 million registered players this time, and the number of players who have officially entered the game is about the same. The game will last for a total of twenty-five days, and during these twenty-five days, there is no way to leave the game. However, the game will not cause any loss of spirit, so everyone can rest assured that it will not affect your body. As for food, everyone is a demigod, so it should not be a problem to not drink water for twenty-five days.

"After twenty-five days, there will be a ranking of points. The one thousand people with the highest ranking will be the final winner of the reward this time. As for points, there are two main ways to obtain them. One is survival points, and the other is to hunt a few points.

"Let me talk about survival points first. I believe everyone has already noticed that the environment before us is very harsh. This is because we have divided the game into five regions, and the fifteen million players have been evenly distributed into these five regions. These five regions are the Blazing Flame Region, the Purple Thunder Region, the Strong Wind Region, the Cold Ice Region, and the Boulder Region.

"The Blazing Flame Region, as the name suggests, is a world of flames. The Purple Thunder Region is a world where lightning falls. The environments of the other regions are also as described in the name. The five regions are all dangerous places full of changes. All damage caused by the environment is at least at the level of a higher deity. Don't think that the lightning in the Purple Thunder Region is just ordinary lightning. Any bolt of lightning is at least comparable to the full-force attack of a 1-star higher deity. Any impact of a meteorite falling in the Blazing Flame Region is also comparable to the full-force attack of a 1-star higher deity. The situation is the same for the other regions. In the game, once you die, you will be directly eliminated.

"Everyone will be randomly teleported to a different region every day without repeating themselves. In other words, everyone will experience the five environments once in the first five days, provided that they are not eliminated. From the sixth day onwards, the game enters the second round, and the game difficulty increases. All natural environment attacks are raised to the level of a 2-star higher deity, and the remaining players will be randomly teleported five times. From the 11th day to the 15th day, the game difficulty increases again, and the natural environment attacks are raised to the level of a 3-star higher deity. From the 16th day to the 20th day, the attack power increases to the level of a 4-star higher deity. From the 21st day to the 25th day, the attack power increases to the level of a 5-star higher deity.

"The game will have a total of five rounds. In the first five days, as long as you survive, you will get 100 points per day. In the second round, you will get 200 points per day, and so on. In the fifth round, you will get 500 points per day.

"Let me talk about hunting points. Since this game is called a hunting game, I personally prefer to call it a hunting game. The harsh environment is just an appetizer, and the key is hunting. In the game, there are special creatures in all kinds of environments. The weakest of these creatures are at the level of a lesser deity, and the strongest are at the level of a supreme deity.

"Every time you hunt a lesser deity creature, you will get 1 to 5 points, which correspond to the creature's star level. A 1-star lower deity is 1 point, a 2-star is 2 points, and so on. Hunting an intermediate deity creature will get you 10 to 50 points, which also correspond to the creature's star level. Hunting a higher deity creature will get you 100 to 500 points. Killing a Supreme Deity will earn you 1,000 to 5,000 points. "

"Of course, apart from hunting the creatures in the game, you can also hunt humans. As long as you kill a human, you will be able to seize all the points earned and add them to your own.

"There is one last point that I would like to remind everyone. To ensure the fairness of the leaderboard, the entire game will list the top 1,000 people in real-time, and everyone can check it for free. However, if you want to check the position of a person on the leaderboard, you will have to pay a certain amount of points. The positions of people who are not on the leaderboard cannot be checked.

"If you don't understand what I have just said, you can check the game notification. There will be more detailed graphics and explanations there.

"Now, the game officially begins. Have fun, everyone! "
