Chapter 9: The Sovereign's Reward

  Actually got a quadra kill...

  To be honest, Su Hong was also quite surprised in his heart. He didn't intentionally steal the show, it could only be said that luck was on his side, allowing him to harvest all of the Void Mask and others across from him. This result was one that even the rough and straightforward Han couldn't say anything about. So after a brief explanation, he lazily stopped paying attention to the small thoughts of the rough and straightforward Han and others, instead lowering his head to look at his own left chest. A bloody red light flashed, and his Silent Assassin Hero data appeared:

  Chosen Hero: Silent Assassin

  Hero Attribute: Intelligence Hero

  Hero Skills: Silent Curse, Blade of Wisdom, Last Words, Total Domain Silence.

  Hero level: 9 levels.

  Number of kills in this match: 5

  Number of deaths in this case: 0

  Assists in this game: 1

  Game Coins: 2800

  ……

  After a crazy killing spree, killing four people in a row, Su Hong's hero level quickly rose, and he became the highest-level person on the field. However, what made him most delighted was the game gold coins on his body, which had almost reached three thousand, enough to buy a powerful piece of equipment.

  Thinking that this was not a virtual DOTA game, but a real bloody battlefield, Su Hong hesitated for a moment before asking: "Li Ge, as the hero of Silent Assassin, what equipment should I get in the late stage?"

  "Haha, at this point, it doesn't matter what equipment comes out, because that last team fight has already sealed our victory. As long as the other side doesn't do anything stupid and doesn't want to suffer too much loss, I estimate they'll be leaving the battlefield soon." The burly man who had transformed into a dark ranger laughed loudly and patted Su Hong's shoulder in a friendly manner.

  "Not bad, the opponent has already lost for sure. If I were them, I would quit the battlefield immediately. Only a fool would continue to come out and get killed." The young man in the coffee-colored T-shirt also showed a smile of delight, his eyes looking at Su Hong were filled with friendliness, obviously Su Hong's previous performance had won his respect.

  "Is that a win?" Su Hong was taken aback, after the previous team battle loss, the Nightmares were indeed at a disadvantage and it was already very difficult to fight back, but he hadn't expected the opponent to give up so quickly.

  Seeing Su Hong's puzzled expression, the rough and burly man explained with a smile: "Well... let's call you Silent Old Brother for now. You're entering the ancient battlefield for the first time, so it's normal that you don't understand. After going through several battles, you'll get it. It's not that they want to give up, but the cost of continuing to fight is just too high. Originally, losing would mean punishment from the ruler, and if they die a few more times, their punishment will only become more severe. Rather than that, it's better for them to simply quit the battle, which is more in line with their self-interest."

  "Li Ge, who is this ruler after all? And what's going on with this Shangyue space?" Su Hong couldn't help but ask, the rough and burly men had mentioned the term "ruler" many times before, but because of the intense battle previously, he hadn't had a chance to ask, now that he finally had some free time, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to learn more about Shangyue space and this ancient relic battlefield.

  When Su Hong asked the question, the rough and burly man and the coffee-colored T-shirt youth exchanged a glance, nodded slightly after exchanging eye contact, and then the rough and burly man smiled and said: "Brother Chen Mo, if someone else asked, I wouldn't even bother to respond. You know, this information was obtained at the cost of our lives, and we slowly figured out some clues after many bloody battles. How could we easily tell others?"

  "I'll remember the kindness of Li Ge and the Devil Wizard brothers in my heart, and if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay the two of you for your guidance." Su Hong said with a slight smile.

  "Haha, I've been waiting for Silent Brother to say that!" The rough-looking big man's eyes lit up. He and the coffee-colored T-shirt young man had invested in Su Hong because they saw potential in him, wanting to invest early on. Now seeing Su Hong being so perceptive about human nature, he no longer hid his thoughts and shared his understanding of the Cang Yue space and the ancient battlefield. The coffee-colored T-shirt young man beside him occasionally added a few words.

  "I see...” Su Hong let out a deep breath, his face showing a thoughtful expression. Although the two rough men didn't understand much, they had at least given him a general understanding of this Shangyue space and the ancient relic battlefield.

  Originally, from the time he was shrouded in that strange blood flower at home, he had already been chosen by the master of the Xueyue space. As for who this master is, even the rough and bold Han and others are not clear, only knowing that the master is all-powerful, as long as you have enough Xueyue coins, you can exchange anything through the master.

  And those who were chosen by the Dominators, after entering the Shuang Yue space, all had a fixed blood number, and the blood tattoo would follow them for life until death. During this period, in order to survive, there was only one way out, that is, to constantly become stronger and stronger, only by surpassing others and becoming a true strongman could they stand firm in the extremely bloody and cruel Shuang Yue space, otherwise, even if they managed to survive one or two battles, they would eventually escape the fate of being annihilated by the Dominators.

  In the void moon space, when your heavenly ladder score is cleared to zero, you will be ruthlessly erased by the ruler. When you die ten times in the game, also known as the super ghost state in DOTA games, you will also be ruthlessly erased by the ruler.

  Also, every month's last week is also known as the 'Death Week' in the rough and bold Han language. The ruler will pull all the selected people into the Shangyue space, then project a terrifying scene that no one can imagine, let the Tianhui camp and the Yehuo camp enter it to fight each other, at that time it's not a real projection of the DOTA game anymore, nor is there any so-called rebirth or revival, but a truly bloody battle, either life or death, with no other choice.

  "Li Ge, it seems that you have experienced a 'Death Week' before? What was the situation like?" Su Hong's expression turned serious, and the reality of the Xue Yue space was far more brutal than he had imagined. A single misstep could lead to being ruthlessly eliminated by the ruler.

  "Hey, I've been in this cursed month for over a month now. I did go through a 'week of death', but it's really hard to describe what exactly happened because everyone experiences different terrifying scenes when they enter. It's pointless to say more, all I can tell you is that if you want to survive, use the bloody coins you've accumulated through hardship to strengthen yourself as much as possible. Otherwise, you'll eventually become prey in someone else's eyes." The rough-looking man let out a dry laugh, his eyes narrowing slightly, his face revealing a lingering sense of fear, clearly still haunted by the experience and unwilling to say more.

  Seeing the rough and majestic appearance of this big man, Su Hong didn't dare to ask anything further, but instead changed the subject: "Then Li Ge, how can we obtain this Blood Coin?"

  He now knows that the game coins obtained on this ancient battlefield are similar to virtual DOTAs, and will be cleared by the master after each battle. Only the Blood Coin exclusive to the Shangyue Space can be brought out, just like the Blood Tattoo, which will not be cleared by the master.

  Moreover, from the tone of people like Da Han, it can be easily known that this Blood Coin is a very important thing. In the future, whether it's exchanging for blood energy to strengthen points or opening up that mysterious innate talent, it will all require Blood Coins.

  "It's simple, to get Blood Coins, you have to actively enter the Shangyue space and engage in battles one after another, trying your best to get a high evaluation from the ruler. That way, you can get the reward of Blood Coins. Generally speaking, as long as you win a battle, you can get 10 Blood Coins and 30 points of Tian Ti accumulation as the basic reward. Then, depending on your performance in this battle, you will be given extra rewards. As for how much these extra rewards are, it's hard to say. I once got an extra 20 Blood Coins, and if you complete the Crazy Killing task, you'll definitely get more than me." The rough-looking man looked at Su Hong with some envy, thinking about when he was a rookie and only managed to win a battle by following behind experienced players, getting only 10 Blood Coins as the basic reward, and nothing else.

  Su Hong nodded slightly after listening, and a hint of sudden realization flashed in his eyes. He finally understood why the rough and unrefined men were so determined that the Nightmares would choose to surrender and exit the battle. It was because if they simply lost, they would only receive basic punishment, having ten Blood Coins deducted from them. However, if they continued to fight on, dying multiple times would result in additional penalties, or even being deleted by the Ruler. They wouldn't do something so foolish.

  As they spoke, Su Hong had already learned through the blood tattoos on his left chest that all the heroes in front of him had withdrawn from the battle one by one. Especially those several veterans on the opposite side did not hesitate at all and chose to surrender directly after losing that key team battle, leaving the ancient relic battlefield.

  "So, in this ancient battlefield, isn't it usually a one-shot deal to determine the winner, and rarely will they fight until the later stages?" Su Hong couldn't help but ask, which made him somewhat puzzled, because according to his understanding, the master of this Shangyue space should be encouraging them to fight more and kill each other.

  "Haha, that's not it, this is because our Heavenly Ladder points are too low, after all, we're just small fries in the Xueyue Space, so our combat level is also low, which is why such a situation has arisen. But for those true strongmen of the Xueyue Space, every battle's victory or defeat is crucial, no one will easily admit defeat. I've heard that every battle is extremely brutal, until the final base is completely destroyed, there's no one who chooses to surrender and quit." The rough-looking big man explained with a smile, but just as he was about to say something else, their ears were suddenly filled with the cold, emotionless voice of the Overlord.

  "This battle has ended, the Dawnlight faction wins. Each player receives a basic reward of 10 Bloody Coins and 30 Ladder Points. Please leave the Ancient Ruins battlefield within 10 minutes."

  Finally won!

  Although they had long guessed the outcome, when they heard the announcement from the ruler and the subsequent battle rewards, everyone still showed a heartfelt joyful smile.

  "Hey, next is the individual's extra reward assessment, I hope everyone good luck!" The rough and burly man licked his slightly dry lips, feeling very expectant.

  This time, the host did not announce it in front of everyone, but saw a strange blood light flashing above the ancient ruins. Immediately after that, the bloody tattoos on each person's chest heated up one by one, and they received a reward message that only they could see:

  Blood Type: AB

  Camp: Tianhui.

  Game times: 1

  Ladder Points: 130

  Blood Coins: 50

  Game death count: 0

  Deathmatch arena matches: 0
