No strange things are allowed to evolve!

“You’re not afraid of those two, but the problem is that they are people who can easily enter the final arena and have their own circles there. What if they send someone to snipe you before you’ve even established yourself?” Brother Bing was worried that Jiang Shu was too confident and arrogant, and he was afraid that Jiang Shu would suffer a loss.

Sebastian, who had long sensed something was off about the Soft Goblin, and Snow King, who knew Jiang Shu but not the Soft Goblin, noticed something from Jiang Shu's relaxed tone.

"Could this be a double agent plot?" Snow King asked suspiciously.

Sebastian tentatively asked, "Are the Soft Goblins one of our own?"

Jiang Shu didn't answer, but asked Sebastian curiously, "Don't you have mind-reading abilities? Didn't you go and find out what the soft goblin was thinking?"

“This…” Sebastian glanced at Brother Bing and Snow King, who were astonished upon first hearing about his ability, and then at Jiang Shu, who was quite interested. Finally, he honestly replied, “I can’t do it because there are conditions for using this ability. First, the quality of the other party’s spiritual root cannot be too much higher than mine. Second, I must do three things for the other party first.”

Jiang Shu couldn't help but ask, "Are you a genie? Do I need to do three things to unlock it?"

“Not a genie, but a follower. As a follower, I do three things to please him, and then I can learn what he wants and desires,” Sebastian explained.

"Oh." Jiang Shu nodded, then suddenly had a thought: "What if you encounter a tsundere? Even if they're satisfied, they'll insist they're not. Will it still work?"

"It's still effective."

"What if you meet Jack Ma? He wants to grant you three wishes first, and then you say your wishes are to do three things for him to make him happy. If he's happy with you because he wants to grant your wishes, does that still work?"

"???"

While the two were having a heated discussion, Snow King and Brother Bing were confused.

They didn't think about anything else, they just felt that an evolved being's most secret ability should always be a secret, something even more private than personal privacy. Did Sebastian just blurt it out like that?

What's the difference between this and defecating in the street without being afraid of being photographed?

"Um... let's not discuss this kind of thing in public," Brother Bing quickly stopped them, then couldn't help but say to Sebastian, "Aren't you a little too carefree?"

"It's nothing, buddy," Jiang Shu said nonchalantly.

“Yes, it’s alright.” Sebastian nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Brother Bing asked Jiang Shu, "Since we're all brothers, I'm also quite curious about your abilities."

Jiang Shu immediately became serious: "Don't you know that asking about someone's abilities is very impolite? You're being a bit too presumptuous."

"So you knew that?" Brother Bing looked speechless. "No matter how close the relationship, respecting other people's privacy is the most basic courtesy."

Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, then realized his mistake. He then sincerely lowered his head and bent over, saying, "I'm sorry! I'm a sinner!"

"There's no need for that..."

Sebastian quickly helped Jiang Shu up, saying, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

He raised his head again and carefully examined the embarrassed Brother Pancake.

Jiang Shu temporarily ruled out the possibility that he was also sent by someone to cooperate with Sebastian.

The other person seemed to be the most innocent bystander among the three, joining the group simply because they shared similar views and were curious about him.

If such a smooth and natural reaction is all an act, then Jiang Shuyuan would call him an award-winning actor, and I would gladly accept being fooled by him.

Just like when a level 1 Tryndamere uses his E to land three critical hits with Hail of Blades, what else can you say? He deserves to die.

In short, he temporarily dispelled his doubts about Brother Bing.

"Anyway, just as Snow King and Sebastian said, the Soft Goblin and I have become friends after our fight. Although he lost, he accepted it wholeheartedly. He'll keep an eye on the other side of the itchy head for me, so everyone doesn't need to worry."

Hearing Jiang Shu's personal admission, the group finally confirmed their suspicions.

Sebastian's face was filled with admiration: "Since the hatred that the 'Itchy Head' harbors for you is irreversible, why not have someone you trust pretend to join in? That way, you can control the unstable factors. You truly are a master."

Jiang Shu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, enough nonsense. It's still early. Let's go to the final arena and have some more fun."

Mentioning this, Brother Bing couldn't help but feel a little dazed: "Speaking of which, 700 points in two days... that's an astonishing speed. Maybe you could really make it into the top ten."

Hearing this, and suddenly remembering the invincible bureau chief that Brother Bing had mentioned, Jiang Shu couldn't help but ask, "Do you think I have a chance to get 10,000 points before the competition starts?"

I thought Brother Bing would smile and say, "You have a chance, you will win."

Whether it's for comfort or encouragement, it at least provides positive emotional value.

But to my surprise, Brother Bing shook his head firmly: "Dream on."

"?"

Jiang Shu said somewhat awkwardly:

"Even if you think it's unlikely, there's no need to say it like that, is it? It's really discouraging."

"I'm not trying to discourage you."

Brother Bing shook his head:

"I just hope you don't set your expectations too high. Being able to recognize reality is not always a bad thing. At least you won't collapse because of the sense of disappointment brought about by failure."

Be realistic; aiming for the top ten still offers a chance. But trying to rival those once-in-a-century geniuses will only lead to your own downfall.

Brother Bing understood perfectly well that after a series of great victories, Jiang Shu had thought of the true god he had mentioned and had the idea of ​​becoming his equal.

This terrified him.

Because he once shared the same thoughts as Jiang Shu, and was just as arrogant, he knew just how terrible the backlash from such a mentality could be.

Because he had been through it himself, he didn't want Jiang Shu to experience the same setbacks. Because he had been through the rain, he wanted to hold up an umbrella for this equally energetic young man.

So, just as the seed of a future sprouted, he decisively nipped the lion in the bud in Jiang Shu's eyes in the bud.

After hearing Brother Bing's explanation, Jiang Shu realized that he had misunderstood the other party.

The other party was afraid of repeating the same mistake, so they chose to be the villain. Good medicine tastes bitter, and honest advice is hard to hear; this is exactly the point.

This made Jiang Shu secretly gasp in astonishment.

Just how much of a shock did our own bureau chief bring to these contemporary competitors?

Even after so much time has passed, their psychological trauma remains so deep, it has practically become a mental obsession.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Shu nodded earnestly, appearing to humbly accept the answer.

But this made Snow Queen feel a little sorry for her.

She immediately comforted him, saying, "Actually, it's not necessarily true. There's still a month left. As long as you keep winning like this, reaching 10,000 points is possible."

"Don't mislead the little girl if she doesn't understand."

Brother Bing suddenly became serious and began to criticize Xue Wang in a solemn manner.

He couldn't bear to see Jiang Shu, whom he had finally managed to correct, being led astray again by the Snow King.

He knew how arrogant young men of that age could get in order to impress girls and do foolish things.

So before the Snow King could refute him, he analyzed:

"Although they are all contestants in the final arena, it does not mean that these people are of similar skill levels. The gap between the strongest and the weakest may be even greater than the gap between the expert arena and the beginner arena."

This is because the threshold for the final arena is 1,000 points. Once you have 1,000 points or more, there is only one final arena, and it cannot be further subdivided.

But how could someone who has just reached 1,000 points possibly be able to compete with someone who has 2,000 points?

In my experience, anyone with less than 1,300 points is likely to fall into the high-level arena at any time. People like Soft Goblin and Itchy Head, who dominate the high-level arena, are actually in this unstable range, which is generally called the lower tier.

Only those with over 1300 points can be considered to have reached a level where they can reliably stay in the final arena. However, only those with around 1700 points can be considered to be at the average level of the final arena. Only when you reach this mid-level can you feel the real pressure.

Only when you reach 2,000 points can you be considered to have entered the top ranks and have a chance to enter the top ten. This is the first part.

It should also be noted that it is now the end of the season, which means that this standard should be increased by two or three hundred points.

So what does 2,000 points mean?

You might not have thought of something: because there are fewer people in the final arena, everyone's every move is practically transparent. So, if the points increase too quickly, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of others.

If there are wins and losses, it's fine, but if you keep winning, that will cause a problem.

After winning a few times, lower-ranked players will see you as someone they don't want to mess with and won't challenge you. You might only be able to compete with mid-ranked players when you're in the lower ranks, and only upper-ranked players will accept your challenge when you reach the mid-ranked.

In other words, every match is nominally a contest where the weak must defeat the strong. These are extremely intense matches. You may have experience, but others have even more experience. You may have skill, but others are just as skilled.

If you win, the next challenge will be even more difficult; if you lose, the next challenge won't be any easier. It's a classic case of no reward for winning and punishment for losing.

So although there is no upper limit to the bets in the final round, in such high-level games where even a single point can determine the final outcome, and given the possibility that if you lose, you won't be able to find an ATM, you can only keep competing with higher-level players, and then keep losing, eventually creating a vicious cycle. As a result, everyone cherishes their points, and everything else is irrelevant except for their points. They usually don't exceed one hundred points, which has become a tacit rule.

Therefore, even if each bet is the maximum of 100 points, from 1000 to 2000 points, one would still need to out-win at least ten people in such an intense competition.

After a pause, looking at the silent Snow King and the thoughtful Jiang Shu, Brother Bing continued:

"That's why 10,000 points is unprecedented and unparalleled, because it's not just a testament to strength, but also requires the right timing and location."

First, there needs to be a large enough crowd in the final round, and there needs to be a constant stream of people willing to compete with you.

When will this happen?

Only in an era where geniuses emerge in large numbers and no one is willing to concede to anyone else will a natural phenomenon occur.

In other words, 10,000 points means achieving a 100-kill streak while surrounded by monsters.

Hearing this, Jiang Shu couldn't help but ask, "So you only get 100 points per game? How did you manage to lose all the way down to the beginner level back then?"

Brother Bing paused for a moment, then flew into a rage: "I'm giving you a serious analysis and sharing my experience, and you're here asking how I lost in the beginner's game?"

"Just ask," Jiang Shu said with a grin.

After a long silence, Brother Bing slowly said, "It wasn't just that I lost to him alone, but rather it was the result of multiple failures."

Only evolved beings who have undergone their first evolution and those who have not undergone their second evolution can enter the competitive incubation field. Regardless of numerical differences, with the support of special characteristics and the balance of the incubation field, it is difficult to say who will definitely be stronger than whom. Sometimes, skills and strategies will be more important.

So after my Dao heart shattered, I didn't win a single game, and the more I lost, the more unwilling I became, and the more unwilling I became, the more my mentality exploded.

"Oh," Jiang Shu sighed, "That's a real shame."

"So at least listen to what I'm saying!" Brother Bing cried out in desperation, "Is this the time to worry about that?"

“I understand,” Jiang Shu replied. “It’s just that everyone in the final arena is very cunning, and there’s also a hidden MMR system. If you want to quickly increase your MMR, you can only keep playing as a fish to win games that are easy for others to beat, right?”

“That’s right.” Brother Bing pursed his lips. “That’s why I said we should set our goals a little lower…”

But before he could finish speaking, he heard Jiang Shu calmly say:

"It's alright, I'll manage the score."

Chapter 228 A Crushing Defeat! A roadside...?

At dawn, the four of them walked out of the confrontation incubation site together.

Jiang Shu's face was fine, showing no particular emotion, but the other three looked incredulous, with a hint of distress in their expressions.

"What should we eat together?"

Jiang Shu turned his head and asked.

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Sebastian and Snow King looked helpless, but Brother Bing was furious.

"Can you still eat?"

“I can definitely eat it.” Jiang Shu found it strange: “Why do you ask that?”

"And why?" Brother Bing looked like he'd seen a ghost. "You just went through that kind of humiliation, and you couldn't refute it from beginning to end. Don't you feel any pain at all? Are you Han Xin?"

“He doesn’t have that much self-respect,” Jiang Shu said with a smile. “He was just humiliated by being forced to crawl between someone’s legs.”

"How dare you say that?" Brother Bing said indignantly, "Those people were just making fun of you. I even thought you were so confident because you had some backing, and I was even speaking up for you. But in the end, you turned out to be the villain!"

Putting yourself in Brother Bing's shoes, it's actually quite understandable why he was so grief-stricken at that moment.

A few hours ago, he went to the final arena with Jiang Shu.

The final arena isn't as large as the advanced arena because it doesn't have as many challenging hatcheries. So, unlike the advanced arena, which is full of twists and turns and is divided into different areas based on the type of hatchery, there's only one area in total where all types of hatcheries are crammed together.

In addition, there aren't many people in the final arena, so standing in the middle of the arena, you can almost see at a glance all the people who aren't competing at the moment and are just relaxing outside the incubation area.

As soon as Jiang Shu and his group entered, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

This is because the flow of people in the ultimate arena is not as great as in other arenas, and most of the people who can enter are noteworthy experts. Over time, even if others don't know them, they can still recognize the names of those who frequent the arena.

Therefore, most people are naturally curious about a new face like Jiang Shu.

It's like a transfer student suddenly joining a class; almost everyone would take a second look.

However, here, this gaze is not quite the same as the friendly gaze between students; it is more of a scrutiny and vigilance.

At the time, Jiang Shu only said to see how things went today, so before he opened his mouth and asked "Who is the boss here?", Brother Bing was completely unprepared, and even had a smile on his face as he greeted the evolved beings in the arena.

As soon as those words were spoken, not only Brother Bing, but also Snow King and Sebastian could feel the atmosphere on the scene suddenly drop to freezing point, and everyone's face immediately darkened.

Someone immediately asked, "What are you here for?"
