Chapter 574

In the Outland Battlefield, Gu Ding crushed the head of a Carter Tribe member and looked at the corpses all over the ground. "The tenth day is almost over. It's almost time to return to Purgatory Gate. How many kills have I made?"

"6117. It's more than 6000. That means I've doubled my points after accumulating six times. I have 126,117 points to redeem."

In this Outland Battlefield, the two alien tribes liked to live in groups. This also caused Gu Ding to earn points much faster than the last time. Other humans were afraid of encountering large alien tribes, but for Gu Ding, the bigger the colony, the easier it was to harvest.

"I wonder how many people have signed up to challenge the Arena," Gu Ding mumbled to himself as he walked toward the teleporter.

In the Outer Realm Battlefield, the signal was blocked, so the Sea Emperor did not know what the result was. However, he still gave his guess, "The number of people imprisoned in the second level of the Gate of Purgatory is not less than the first level. Coupled with Barete's influence in the second level, I'm guessing that the number of challengers should be higher than the first level. "

Gu Ding was slightly relieved when he heard Neptune's words. Under normal circumstances, Neptune's analysis was not likely to be wrong.

When Gu Ding arrived at the teleporter, the tenth day had just passed.

Gu Ding quickly returned to Purgatory Gate through the teleporter.

As soon as he steadied himself, Gu Ding checked the simple intelligent wristwatch on his wrist. "What's going on? Why is Barete the only challenger? "

"Maybe there's a delay in the system. Let's wait and see." Neptune was a little confused.

Gu Ding stood there and waited for more than a minute. There was still no change in the number of challengers on the wristwatch. "Could it be that the wristwatch is broken?"

"It's not a problem with the wristwatch. I've checked it. It's not a system delay either. I've checked the system port. There's no challenge message at all. "Neptune quickly figured out the problem." It seems like it's man-made. "

"Man-made? What do you mean? "Gu Ding did not understand.

"There are two possibilities. One is that someone deliberately blocked the news of your appearance on the second level. That's why the people on the second level do not know of your arrival. Naturally, no one will challenge you."

"The second possibility is that someone used some sort of method to force everyone on the second floor to give up on challenging you."

"However, the first possibility is unlikely, because when you appeared on the second level of the Gates of Purgatory, there were thousands of witnesses in the arena. Even if someone blocked the news, judging from the reaction of the witnesses when they saw you, they probably wouldn't give up the chance to challenge you. So, it's possible that Barete did something. With his strength and reputation in the second level, it's indeed enough to intimidate others from challenging you. "

The conclusion of the Sea Emperor's deduction was not far from the truth.

Gu Ding was a little suspicious when he heard this. "But why would he do that?"

The Sea Emperor did not give an answer to this question. In fact, he had never understood why humans needed motivation to do so many things. For a super intelligent being like him, he would immediately judge whether there was a need to do anything. If there was a need, he would immediately execute it. There was no need for any motivation at all.

After exchanging the number of alien tribe kills for points, Gu Ding found a keeper and asked for his room number on the second floor. Then, he walked toward the building where the prisoners lived. He was going to have a good rest and prepare for the next day. Although it seemed like there was only one opponent, to Gu Ding, no matter how many opponents there were, and no matter who the opponent was, he would take it seriously.

As he stepped into the building where the prisoners lived, many people looked at Gu Ding. The building that was originally noisy suddenly fell silent.

Gu Ding's gaze swept around and found that when these people saw him, there was no surprise in their eyes. Instead, there were other emotions. Some were disdainful, some were curious, some were gloating … There were also a few people who did not show any emotion and simply sized him up.

Gu Ding did not pay attention to these kinds of gazes. He walked straight to his room number. In his heart, he already had an answer to the fact that no one had challenged him.

Neptune's guess was right. These people did know that he had entered the second level. They did not challenge him because they were obstructed by someone.

After entering his room, Gu Ding closed the door and laid down on the bed.

Seeing that Gu Ding had left, the building became noisy again. There were also people discussing Gu Ding in low voices.

"The news of Gu Ding coming to the second level is actually true."

"That guy Barete, in order to be the first to be picked by the system to fight against Gu Ding, he actually did not allow others to sign up for the challenge. That's really too much."

"This is also a good thing for Gu Ding. If it wasn't for Barete causing a ruckus, I'm afraid there would be more than a hundred thousand people challenging Gu Ding on the second level. Even if he fought a hundred challenges a day, it would still take three years to complete a hundred thousand battles. "

…

Listening to the discussion, Neptune relayed this information to Gu Ding.

"In order to be the first to be picked by the system, he did not allow others to sign up for the challenge … So that's how it is … Looks like that scar-faced uncle not only did not help, but also caused trouble." Gu Ding finally understood the reason behind the matter.

"Then what do you plan to do tomorrow? After defeating Barete, will you go straight to the third level of Hell Gate or continue to wait for the people on the second level to challenge you? "Neptune could not help but ask.

"There's no need to wait. I'll go straight to the third level. Since Barete is recognized as the strongest person on the second level, after defeating him, the others will probably not challenge me anymore after watching the battle. There's no point in waiting any longer, it'll just be a waste of time. " Gu Ding knew that since Barete was so feared, then after defeating Barete, he would be an even more terrifying existence in the eyes of the others. It was likely that the others would not challenge him anymore.

"But if that's the case, there's one less chance for a thousand-win streak. The basic points for the second level are two points. The points obtained from a thousand-win streak is twice the points obtained from the first level, which is more than four hundred thousand."

Even if Gu Ding added the points obtained from the Outland Battlefield on the second level of Hell Gate, his total points would only be more than four hundred thousand. A thousand consecutive victories would have allowed him to double his points, but Barete had messed things up.

However, Gu Ding was not upset. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since he's the one who made my points disappear, then I can only get it back from him."

Neptune instantly knew what Gu Ding was thinking. "You're thinking of …"

"That's right!" Gu Ding grinned.
