spooky calendar

Chapter 104 Balance System
The realm of the old calendar.The borders of the country of competition.

If you look at the Kingdom of the Old Calendar from a very high and very far distance, you will see a "gymnasium" the size of a city.

This is a place where most powerful creatures would rather not come.

Of course, there are also thrill seekers who come here.

Outside the borders of the Kingdom of Competition, there is a towering mountain that overlooks the entire Kingdom of Competition, called Cursed Mountain.

It is said that the entire mountain range is a barrier for a huge magic circle.

Standing at the top of the cursed mountain, Qiao Wei took off the hood of her cloak, revealing her extremely beautiful face.

At the top of the snow-capped mountains, the sunshine is extremely gentle.

Looking at the huge competition place in the distance, a huge city like the Colosseum, the bald man said:

"Gui'er's cultivation is okay. Do you think there really is a clan of giants in this world?"

"How else could there be such a huge arena?"

"Doesn't it contain countless small arenas?"

"Also, I'm thinking, you wouldn't want to... go in, would you?"

"You told me it was just a ride."

Qiao Wei narrowed her eyes:

"It's all coming."

"Climb, I'm not allowed to go in. Do you think I haven't read the Golden Calendar manuscript? This place is not suitable for entering." The bald man was very resistant.

But along the way, it is always Qiao Wei who makes the decision.

Qiao Wei looked at the bald man with a half-smile:
"Do you have a choice?"

The bald man responded to Qiao Wei with his eyes:
"You son of a bitch, I'm afraid your head was caught in the door. I don't believe you haven't read the Golden Calendar manuscript. I don't believe you don't know the rules."

Qiao Wei nodded lightly:

"Of course, I know the rules here. This place is the biggest lawless zone in the entire Old Calendar."

"Here, you can make all kinds of unreasonable demands in the process of meeting the God of Competition. Correspondingly, you also need to win all kinds of exaggeratedly difficult games."

"Counting the time, the biggest event in the Old Calendar Realm, the Hell Ball Game, is about to begin."

"Don't you want to see it? It wouldn't be a bad idea if we were an audience."

There was only excitement in Qiao Wei's eyes.

The bald man shook his head wildly:

"I want to watch, but I need to survive even more! Don't think that I don't know that once you enter the arena of competition, you must participate in the confrontation."

"Even if you are just a spectator, you have to win the qualification to be a spectator through confrontation and competition."

Qiao Wei rolled her eyes at the bald man:
"What? You don't have confidence in yourself? I'm not asking you to make any unrealistic wishes to the God of Competition. You just want to be a spectator. No matter what the event is, it's easy to win."

The bald man still resisted going to the competition place and said:
"There's a scale in that damn place. How dare you guarantee that you can win? I really don't have confidence. This is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Why did I go crazy and violate taboos, and why did I get to know you, a female devil? To bully the small with the big, to bully the weak with the strong, to treat me like a saber and they are like flesh and blood."

The bald man turned his head, stared at Qiao Wei and said:

"You crazy guy, if you want to go, I won't go anyway. I work hard to become stronger, not to be equal to others."

After all, the bald man was the one who had read the Golden Calendar manuscript.

Regarding the country of competition, the reason why this place is popular, but the powerful old calendar creatures are reluctant to come, is because——

There is a scale here.

What is a balance?Even for people who enter the country of competition, their overall abilities will be quantified by numerical values, and then the numerical values ​​will be compressed into an equivalent range.

Strong people will become weak when they enter the arena of competition.

When weak people enter the competitive arena, they will receive corresponding reinforcements.

Both the weak and the strong move towards the "average".

Therefore, many games in the competitive place are full of suspense and extremely competitive.

The power of the scale makes it impossible for the strong to absolutely crush the weak, and also gives the weak the possibility of counterattack.

In short, in the arena of competition, powerful beings will have their combat power reduced, and they who could have run rampant can now be killed.

Therefore, in the huge Old Calendar world, places such as the country of chaos and the country of competition are places that many strong people will not go.

These rules are so powerful that individual combat prowess becomes irrelevant.

The particularity of the country of competition has caused some "others", "fugitives" and "traitors" under the rule of the great gods to gather here.

This is a paradise for the wanted.

Because those powerful pursuers and law enforcers dare not come here.

He was afraid that his strength would be compressed by the rules of the balance, and that he would be counterattacked by beings who were already weaker than him.

Of course, this is also hell.

When you come to the country of competition, you have to accept various competitive games. Once you lose, you will become a slave.

Many people in the country of competition, whether they are playing jailers, traders, ordinary residents, or wealthy businessmen...

All slaves.

The slaves themselves also needed competition.

Will the strong give the weak a fair chance?Will the strong be willing to expose their weaknesses to the weak?

Only the weak will beg for fairness because "fairness" is inherently biased.

Therefore, bald men are absolutely unwilling to go to a competitive country.

But Qiao Wei made up her mind:
"I'm not asking you to be equal to others. You have some confidence in me. The reduction in combat power is only a numerical reduction on the surface. In fact, we have an advantage."

"I need an identity, and this identity can be given to me by the God of Competition."

"It is also the only one among many gods, fallen gods, and outer gods that can maintain absolute neutrality."

The bald man still stood where he was, pretending to look around at the scenery.

"Thank you for your codename Li Yuanba, Li Xiaohua, can you not be as sissy as your name?"

When the bald man heard that the female devil actually called him by his real name, he became furious.

"As a mother, you promised not to call me by my real name!"

"Whether I go or not, I tell the whole world that there is a rough guy named Li Xiaohua who dare not enter the country of competition."

Qiao Wei controlled Li Xiaohua very well.

She was also curious about something.

This bald man has a ferocious face, swears from time to time, and his fighting style is as brutal as Kratos's.When he got the codename Li Yuanba, he already had the strength to fight against demigod-level experts——

But her name is Xiaohua.

Qiao Wei still values ​​Li Yuanba very much.After all, along the way, only Li Yuanba was still alive.

And this bald head also brought her a lot of joy along the way.

More or less, Qiao Wei regarded him as a friend.

"I really want to go, I need to be close to ensure that some of my arrangements can be implemented."

"Actually, are other places safe along the way? You are just confident in your abilities, but if you think about it carefully, how much of your abilities have been used in the rule-bending areas we have experienced?"

Li Xiaohua was silent for a few seconds, and finally spat and cursed:

"Forget it! Forget it! If you die, you will die! Let me make it clear first, if you succeed, I will have one of your treasures."

"Okay, since I let you take the risk, if my arrangement goes smoothly, I can give you an item from the old calendar."

Qiao Wei put her hood back on.

Li Xiaohua stopped being coy, and the two of them started heading down the mountain.

Goal, the country of competition.

……

……

The country of competition, the seventh level of prison.

"Land of Chaos?" As soon as Qin Ze heard these four words, his mind buzzed, and many thoughts wandered around.

It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
He estimated that the current situation was very bad and he had become a prisoner.

It's a hell of a start, and I haven't yet figured out the connection between prisoners and sports.

But suddenly I heard that the other side came from the land of chaos...

After all, this was just a memory from a few days ago.

Although these few days were extremely long, Qin Ze still remembered them clearly.

In the dice of Guanwei, he saw the "letter" from the country of Chaoswei.

"No matter what, please keep the Die of Observation in your hand, it will be our token of recognizing you."

"In the near future, you will hear the name of our ethnic group in the old world."

"We look forward to meeting you."

When he saw the content in the letter, Qin Ze thought that he seemed to have saved a country unintentionally.

It seems that a country owes itself a huge favor.

It would be nice if the favor could be cashed in.

What he didn't expect was that it would be realized in just a few days.

But seeing Acas fall into this prison, Qin Ze felt...

Maybe the country of Chaoswei is not very strong?
"Do you know that we are in chaos? Judging from your reaction, you are a bit surprised."

Akasi has very strong observation skills.

As the first person to come into contact with the Cursed Idol and be favored by God along the way, Akasi can be said to be the number one warrior in the chaotic Wei Kingdom.

When he broke the idol and finally lifted the curse from the chaotic land, he also received the blessing of the high priest.

Of course, all of this relies on the fact that the number of the apocalypse never exceeds three.

Even the high priest said that this was a man of great luck helping the country of Chaoswei.

However, so far, no one in the Chaos Wei Kingdom has been able to find that benefactor.

The great benefactor who saved a country.

Now Akasi came to the country of competition in order to get two things from the god of competition.

First, it is enough to allow the country of Chaos and Wei to withstand disasters and resist the protection of other strong people.

Second, find the whereabouts of the benefactor.

Either of these two points is extremely difficult.

The country of Chaoswei was suppressed by many gods because it was too powerful.

And the realm of the old calendar is so vast. How easy is it to find someone in such a vast world?
Even the words of the high priest indicate that this person may not be in the old calendar world.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Chaos Wei dispatched its strongest warrior Akash to complete these two most arduous tasks.

Being as strong as Akasi, he soon found out a place.

The country of competition.

As long as you can complete a difficult enough competition and win from it, you can realize a certain degree of desire through the great god of competition.

Of course, it is also possible to lose miserably in competitive events and eventually become a slave.

Akas is not a slave yet, but the random identity he got when he entered the country of competition was indeed a hellish start.

"Well, I learned that it's a very magical place, um, but I don't know much about it. Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Fuxi, but I can't tell you where I'm from."

"Fuxi? Okay, I remember. It doesn't matter. I have no interest in where you come from. We will eventually separate. What we are participating in is not a difficult competitive event."

Qin Ze became a little interested:
"I don't know much about the country of competition. Well, to be precise, I don't understand it at all. I just know that there are many competitive events here, and there is even a lot of sophistication here..."

Qin Ze remembered that the team leader mentioned that a certain team here would not let them play unless they paid.

In the end, I went to other places before I successfully won the competition and left here.

Qin Ze needs to know his current situation and how to get out of here.

Of course, the most important thing is whether there is a way to solve Ling Aozhe's crisis.

Entering the realm of the old calendar, he was worried that Ling Aozhe would be even more dangerous.

Akas said:
"It seems that you entered here involuntarily?"

"Yes." Qin Ze did not deny it.

Akasi shook his head and said:
"Then you were lucky enough to meet me, but at the same time, you were also very unlucky and ended up in prison."

Qin Ze made a gesture of listening.

Akas is not stingy either:
"Let me tell you this, entering a competitive country will give you many identities."

"Of course, you can change your identity through constant competition."

"You can also get a permanent identity by participating in the ultimate competition."

"And the random identity you get when you enter here is very particular."

Qin Ze didn't speak, Akasi said:

"Feel the changes in your body."

Qin Ze was a little confused.

Akas said:
"You should find that your abilities have been enhanced or weakened, right?"

At this moment, the emergency situation has been lifted.

Only then did Qin Ze realize that he still seemed to feel some power within his body.

So much so that he thought that his critical situation was still continuing.

"I'm getting stronger."

"Then it won't be a loss if you die, but I have suffered a huge weakening."

"How to say?"

"The rules of the balance will keep the combat power of the people here within a certain range."

Qin Ze understood. Isn't this the balance mechanism in the game?

It is a means of balancing combat power that allows gold-earning players and ordinary players, as well as veteran players and new players, to compete on the same stage.

I didn’t expect it to exist in the Old Calendar Realm.

This is a good thing!

For Qin Ze, who is the weak one, he is the one who benefits.

But for Acas, it can be said that it has been severely weakened.

Although he was not injured, he felt weak.

Akasi poured a basin of cold water:
"You don't think that just because the combat power values ​​are balanced, it means you can win, right?"

"Let me tell you this, the creatures of the old calendar have many characteristics that are not counted in their combat power. For example, the clay tribe has their bodies as soft as soil and can withstand heavy attacks."

"But this trait does not count as combat power. Therefore, although the clay clan's values ​​have been balanced, they are still stronger than humans."

"Assigned to prison, it means that the rules of the scale believe that as human beings... we are people without any extra qualities."

"Even if we are all in the same range in terms of physical strength, speed, strength, and vitality - but various characteristics determine that we are the most common and weakest."

Qin Ze now understood that the "combat power" was balanced, but the "racial talent" was not included in the combat power.

Human beings, compared to those strange creatures from the Old Calendar, can be said to have no characteristics.

Since then, humans have always been the weakest in any competition.

So he was assigned to prison.

"So we both have the worst qualifications? Then why do you think we won't become teammates?"

Qin Ze asked a key question.

　I just woke up after staying up late. Today’s update is a little late.
