You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 12
Chapter 12: Ten Kingdoms Rise
The Imperial Halberd emerged, a halo of light suddenly appearing, causing everyone to recoil.
“What is this thing? ”
Su Qin’an used the Falling Star Sword to support his retreating body, pulling Xie Yingqing along: “Tsk, this is troublesome! Yingqing, I have a familiar feeling about this thing’s aura; I should have seen something similar. ”
Xie Yingqing stepped forward, standing beside Su Qin’an, drawing Hengyue and holding it in front of her: “Hmm, Master’s Sect’s Treasure, the sword you’ve always longed for, familiar? The one in his hand is probably their Sect’s Treasure. ”
Su Qin’an:???
The Daojian Sect’s Sect’s Treasure is in Yin Wanshan’s hand; it’s a sword.
Currently, although the power of the Imperial Halberd in Dao Jingtaro’s hand is not as good as Yin Wanshan’s sword, it’s not weak either.
“The Imperial Halberd is out, you are all waiting to die! ”
Dao Jingtaro shouted: “You, all will die under the Imperial Halberd! ”
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Dao Jingtaro, but Su Qin’an’s attention was always on the girl beside him.
At this moment, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the girl quietly hid behind Su Qin’an, put away Hengyue, took out her cell phone, snapped a few pictures of the Imperial Halberd, then put away her phone and drew Hengyue again.
A set of actions as smooth as flowing water, without any sense of incongruity—a habitual offender!
When she noticed Su Qin’an’s gaze, she smiled sheepishly: “I absolutely didn’t want to post it on my Moments…”
Su Qin’an nodded: “Understood! I get it! ”
Dao Jingtaro didn’t notice their small actions: “You, all die for me…”
“The first phase of wargames is about to end; the countdown begins. ”
“10…”
A sudden, abrupt sound suddenly rang out, reaching everyone’s ears.
“It looks like he can only use this Imperial Halberd in the next phase? ” Xie Yingqing chuckled.
Su Qin’an nodded: “Who says otherwise? But… used things, when used again, don’t have their proper effect! ”
“Baka Yarou! ”
Dao Jingtaro growled: “Your mother must be very humorous! Why must the countdown start at this time! ”
“9…”
“Right, I haven’t killed Li Yuxi yet! ” Su Qin’an suddenly remembered: “I’ll go find him! ”
“8…”
“Where? ”
“Who knows! Go, go slower and you won’t be able to kill him! ”
“7…”
“Where is he! So good at hiding! ”
“Look where it’s obvious; maybe he’s in the Command Tower! ”
“6…”
“Heh, still trying to find me? ”
Li Yuxi stood beside his Command Tower: “Look where it’s obvious, understand? ”
“5…”
“Found him! Yingqing, come quickly! ”
“How is that possible! You…”
“4…”
“No! You can’t kill me! I just left my post without permission! ”
“3…”
“Because of your unauthorized absence, China is in dire straits! If it weren’t…”
“2…”
“If it weren’t for us reclaiming the Command Tower, we wouldn’t be here now! ”
“Die! ”
“1…”
The Falling Star Sword flashed, but only grazed Li Yuxi’s neck.
“Hahahahaha, Su Qin’an! My life is not over yet! You just wait for me! ” Li Yuxi laughed loudly: “Not killing me in the last second, outside the Destiny Realm, what can you do to me! ”
“I forgot to mention, I added Wunian Powder to the Falling Star Sword; you have three breaths left. ” Su Qin’an swirled his sword, leaving gracefully.
“…Su…Qin…an! I…”
Li Yuxi’s face contorted, he collapsed to the ground, his face turning pale, and he quickly lost his breath.
“Countdown complete! Now we announce the entry into the second phase, the Ten Kingdoms Rise. ”
“First place—China’s 20th Squad.
Second place—India’s 5th Squad
Third place—Uncle Sam’s 1st Squad
Fourth place—Sakura Empire’s 3rd Squad
…”
“Ten teams have been announced; next, those not selected will leave the Destiny Realm. Those selected will be fully restored, entering the second phase, Ten Kingdoms Rise! ”
As a yellow light shone, the members of the selected teams began to turn translucent. After a short while, they disappeared from the Destiny Realm.
The second phase of the Destiny Realm, Ten Kingdoms Rise, has begun!
And the truly dangerous environment is precisely the Ten Kingdoms Rise. After all, being killed in wargames means exiting the Destiny Realm, but being killed in Ten Kingdoms Rise means truly dying. Unless you snatch a Survival Talisman, even if you’re invincible in the Destiny Realm, you can’t get out.
Ten Kingdoms Rise is also divided into two phases.
The first phase is battlefield warfare, lasting one hour.
Each team must accumulate as much National Fortune as possible to create their own empire. The more National Fortune, the larger the territory of the established nation, and the more chips for later.
Upon entering Ten Kingdoms Rise, a leaderboard appears in the upper right corner of everyone’s vision, displaying information about the ten teams.
For example, the top line reads: Jiazi Empire, Founders: Xie Yingqing, Su Qin’an, National Fortune: 0
The fourth line reads: Dingmao Empire, Founder: Dao Jingtaro, National Fortune: 0
Then, a layer of mist covers the content of the leaderboard, making everything invisible.
There are many ways to obtain National Fortune; the most common and direct way is to kill monsters.
Various monsters will randomly spawn across the map; killing them will yield National Fortune.
Each squad has a real-time updated map showing the locations of the monsters.
“There seems to be one near us! ”
Xie Yingqing said: “Shall we go? The sooner we kill monsters, the sooner we establish our country? ”
The closest monster to them was a Three-Headed Serpent, twenty meters long and five meters thick, looking extremely terrifying.
However, under the martial prowess of Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an, in just ten seconds, this Three-Headed Serpent, which looked strong and actually was quite strong, was defeated.
[Detected that the host killed the Three-Headed Serpent within ten seconds; awarded 500 Experience Points]
Three-Headed Serpent: Time… to get off work!
And the two also saw that the Jiazi Nation’s National Fortune changed from 0 to 500.
“Quite a lot! ” Su Qin’an was a little excited: “Let’s continue, kill more monsters! ”
Next, the two used the map to hunt monsters everywhere, and basically, they could kill one in less than ten seconds.
The time spent killing monsters was not even as long as the time spent searching for them!
And Jiazi Nation’s National Fortune soared, rising from tens and hundreds to 40,000 in a short time.
And an hour passed quickly.
“Yuwu Nation’s establishment is successful, National Fortune! ”
The leaderboard has begun to update; the first place is this newly established empire.
However, smart people wouldn’t do this because after establishing a nation, you can’t gain National Fortune for a short period. If the National Fortune is low, the empire’s upper limit will be low.
Sure enough, after another five minutes, new empires were successively established.
“Guiyou Nation’s establishment is successful, National Fortune! ”
“Renshen Nation’s establishment is successful, National Fortune! ”
“…”
“Dingmao Nation’s establishment is successful, National Fortune! ”
Su Qin’an, who was hunting monsters, raised an eyebrow: “This Dao Jingtaro is quite capable at hunting? ”
“Never mind him, why don’t we wait until the last two minutes to establish our nation? ” Xie Yingqing said.
“That’s exactly what I was thinking! ”
As various empires were successively established, Dao Jingtaro hadn’t seen any news about the Jiazi Empire, and he was somewhat puzzled.
“What are those two doing? ” Dao Jingtaro anxiously stroked the Imperial Halberd: “Why haven’t they established a nation yet? There are only five minutes left! ”
“Yichou Empire’s establishment is successful, National Fortune! ”
“Baka Yarou! ” Dao Jingtaro roared angrily: “Your mother must be very humorous! ”
Three minutes later…
“Jiazi Empire’s establishment is successful, National Fortune! ”
“Baka Yarou! What’s the situation! ”
“Wow, how come Jiazi Nation has so much National Fortune! ”
“With so much National Fortune, how big is their territory! “
