Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Expulsion
“Hey, did you see the announcement just now?”
“No shit, I’m not blind.”
“So, are you going?”
“Go, go to hell! One silver coin for the entrance fee? He might as well rob us.”
“I’ve decided I’m going.”
“You must be mad. It’s obviously a money trap.”
“To witness skilled players up close and learn their techniques, a silver coin is not expensive.”
“Xiayao is live streaming, you can just watch that.”
“You watch it then; there’s a delay of several minutes on the live stream. I’m going.”
“Meh, you’re nuts.”
Such conversations happened everywhere. Many wanted to see how Li Yao was going to fight the Sand Dragon King.
You need to know that last time, the Platinum Monster Bird had many people puzzled about how Li Yao managed to pass it.
Even though the players’ skills have improved significantly now, the Sand Dragon King has also become more formidable. A day has passed, and only a handful of high-level players have managed to kill the Sand Dragon King.
However, the value of doing so is not that great. Because of the low appraisal, the quality and quantity of the dropped materials are not ideal. Especially if no breakthrough success was achieved, no high-quality materials were obtained, and no one has crafted the Desert Dragon King Set yet.
The Desert Dragon King Set is blue equipment. Although it’s blue, the suit effect is quite good. Equipping more than five pieces results in two suit effects. It’s quite like wearing two to three Purple Equipment pieces.
This makes many players who can’t afford the Purple Equipment drool, especially over the Desert Dragon King series weapons.
The weapons are of purple quality. Even though the special effects are average, their attributes and attack power are far better than blue equipment. This lure is not only for ordinary players. Many advanced players, who don’t have level 10 Purple Weapons, are also very intrigued.
Now, many players have already reached level 13 or 14. They mastered their skills, can break the Dragon King, and can make their Purple Weapon.
This is not just about the odds. As long as you master this skill, you can clearly see and touch it. So even though many players resent the one silver coin entry fee, many players still come to watch Li Yao’s challenge against the Sand Dragon King.
There are also some players from other guilds who want to visit the venue and look for an opportunity to create chaos.
Not to mention that Li Yao doesn’t know about this, even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
“The Mirror Arena can now accommodate 10,000 people. It’s completely full. That’s a lot of money.” Angel, the guardian, said when she saw that the player area was already filled. “What should we do now? Many people outside are still watching the area channel.”
“10,000 people, only a hundred gold coins at most. It’s nothing at all.” Sister Li laughed.
“The key is what do we do now?” Angel the guardian emphasized: “Hey, where is Prairie Fire?”
“He went to apply for a sub-arena, and there should be results soon. If we’re really successful, we’re going to make a fortune.” Clearly, Sister Li was in a very good mood.
The sub-arena is not the same as the Mirror Arena.
In fact, according to the public explanation, the arena should be considered a small semi-plane.
Every town can enter the Mirror Environment, but only the Central Arena and eight sub-arenas around the Central Arena are shared by the three factions.
Only those who have earned the right can enter. For example, the current requirement of the main arena is to complete a challenge against the Sand Dragon King. In the future, it will change to the top 10,000 in the ladder challenge to be eligible to compete in the main arena, and the top 1 million in the ladder challenge will be eligible to watch from the main arena seats.
The eight sub-arenas next to it are for the top 100,000 players in the ladder challenge to compete in the sub-arenas, and the top 5 million can go to the sub-arenas to watch.
Of course, the arena just opened, the rules are not strictly enforced during the event period to promote the arena. After all, the initial ranking is not objective.
“Sir, as you can see, our Mirror Arena is running out of spectator space. I wonder under what conditions can we rent a sub-arena?” Li Yao greeted a Arena Guardian boss.
“Let me see.” The boss looked at the Arena number provided by Li Yao and found that many players wanted to apply to enter, but it was full and they couldn’t get in. He looked at the sub-arena again. Although there were battles in every arena, there were almost no spectators.
“We can consider it, but the door fee you set, we will receive half of the proceeds. If you agree, you can have the use of the Qian Sub-Arena for an hour.”
“Alright, I agree.” Li Yao didn’t care about the door fee, as that would be a lot of money for them but for these advanced bosses, it didn’t count for much, it was just the rules of the Arena.
“Then you may proceed.” The boss directly gave Li Yao a token inscribed with the word “Qian”: “Remember, it will automatically return to me after one hour.”
Li Yao thanked him again and quickly left – now is the time, when the ladder is settled in the future, not even being a candidate for the Queen will make a difference.
“How did it go, how did it go?” Daimeng asked anxiously.
“No problem, but they are to receive half of the earnings.” Li Yao showed the token.
“So cruel,” Angel the Guardian complained, “As expected, only I am the purest.”
“Half, that’s reasonable.” Sister Li said: “How do we move people there?”
Li Yao activated the token and a massive beam of light fell from the sky. Instantly, everyone disappeared and a moment later, 10,000 people appeared in the Qian Sub-Arena. This arena could usually hold 100,000 people and it could expand to 150,000 when operating at its peak.
Everyone wanting to watch was then transferred to this arena. It was full in less than half an hour. Li Yao had no other means, he did not have the prestige to move to the Central Arena.
But even so, many people were jealous. This was 150,000 people, a silver coin per person, that is 1500G.
“Shregs, racist, why do you need a silver coin, have you never seen money before?”
“Exactly, I bet you’re just insane for money.”
“Acting like a smarty pants, it’s for sure a scam to take our money. Have you calculated how much he made? He’s instantly earned 1500G, tsk tsk, this is our hard-earned money.”
“Obviously a scam, Prairie Fire has no shame.”
“You want to learn techniques? What if he also can’t pass, then your money is wasted.”
“Exactly, he managed to pass the previous bosses. He’s never even fought this boss, how can he pass? Who would believe this?”
With their agitation, many people’s emotions were stirred up.
The _expression_ on the faces of the _Starfire_ Guild were not looking good. Li Yao stopped those who wanted to vent, activated the token and teleported to the floor below.
“I’m fighting the boss, open price. I’m asking you to come? If you want to watch, then watch, if not, get lost! You mob instigators, the system has recorded you all. I’ll refund your money, but you lot can get lost! What things do you take yourselves for!”
Li Yao’s words were followed by him activating his token. Those who were causing the uproar were suddenly cleared out, their money refunded to them.
A eerie silence fell over the arena…
