Train Survival: I Became a White-Haired Hardcore Grinder
Chapter 270: Competition Rules
As the train slowly pulled into the Station, Bai Cheng could feel the surrounding air gradually becoming heavy.
The Station was already filled with all sorts of trains, each representing a leader from a different channel.
They either stood alone or were surrounded by subordinates, their gazes filled with disdain and confidence.
“It seems everyone is determined to win this tournament,” Bai Cheng said softly, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
The interior of the Station entrance was very wide and large, almost the largest Station she had ever seen, and at the same time, it was unique.
The semi-open interior did not repeatedly open and close because of the entering trains; standing on the platform, Bai Cheng and the others could even see the Cloud Heaven Sea outside through the entrance.
On the other side, several platforms led inward, connecting to the depths of the arena and heading all the way up.
Once the train came to a complete stop, the specific rules for this Ten Thousand Frequency Hegemony Tournament immediately appeared on the screen in front of everyone.
【Current Station: Starry Arena】
【Arrival Time: Infinite】
【Departure Restriction: Reach the Top 64】
【Station Rules: No entering or leaving the Station, no theft, no fighting outside of the tournament, magic crystals can no longer be used...】
【Would you like to view the Ten Thousand Frequency Hegemony Tournament competition rules?】
“Why are there so many rules?” Yu Nian curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
Bai Cheng didn't check the rules in detail either, only glancing over them briefly to understand the general idea.
To put it bluntly, the constraints inside this Station were almost no different from modern society; all illegal acts would be considered a violation of the rules.
Of course, this excluded the period during matches inside the arena.
“You can only leave after reaching the Top 64...” Leng Ningxue pointed at the departure restriction, her brow furrowing involuntarily.
She looked at Bai Cheng, who also nodded and said: “If there really are ten thousand channels here, that means the pass rate is as low as only sixty-four out of ten thousand...”
This probability was undoubtedly quite terrifying.
As for those who did not obtain the qualification to leave, everyone guessed the gist of it even if the system didn't say.
“It really is cruel.”
Bai Cheng sighed and continued clicking through the tournament rules to check them. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Outside the window, countless leaders were currently heading towards the interior of the arena with their teammates, everyone looking solemn.
Of course, there were also those like Bai Cheng who had just entered, currently huddled in front of screens staring motionlessly at the rules.
And after seeing these rules, the three of them—Bai Cheng, Leng Ningxue, and Yu Nian—similarly showed solemn expressions.
【Ten Thousand Frequency Hegemony Tournament Rules:
1. The format will randomly select two channels to enter the ring for a deathmatch; the winner advances until a champion is decided.】
2. Within a channel deathmatch, one side may continuously send out multiple people or multiple Employees to fight, or they may directly surrender.
3. The format is single combat; each match can only assign one Employee, crew member, or the Train Conductor themselves to the field. Note: If the Train Conductor dies, the channel will immediately lose its qualification for the tournament.
4. You may use infinite coins to place bets.】
【Failure Penalty: The channel's Outpost City will collapse, half of the members will be randomly annihilated, and the remaining personnel will be merged into the winner's channel as slaves.】
【Top 64 Reward: Station Departure Pass.】
【Top 32 Reward: Infinite Realm Pass.】
【Top 16 Reward: Motor.】
【Top 8 Reward: All Attribute Points +64.】
【Top 4 Reward: Permission to build a Statue of Faith.】
【Third Place Privilege: Obtain all the above rewards and exemption from penalties.】
【Runner-up Privilege: Obtain all the above rewards, exemption from penalties, all members Level +3, and the ability to actively choose channel merging.】
【Champion Reward: Obtain all the above rewards and the title 【Uncrowned King】!】
“This...” Bai Cheng looked at the massive amount of information before her, her brow furrowing for a moment.
“As expected, it's not as simple as imagined; it's actually deathmatch rules,” Leng Ningxue said in a deep voice.
The rules were undoubtedly simple and crude, but the price was equally cruel.
“Channel versus channel, a simple and crude war of attrition?”
Bai Cheng muttered, then her brow smoothed out.
“Let's go as well.”
If she were facing other unknown dangers, Bai Cheng might have some reservations; even the strength of the special Survivors from #1 Channel was not to be underestimated.
But the key was that the opponents Bai Cheng had to face this time were merely Survivors like her.
She didn't believe she would encounter any opponent here that could match her strength.
Pushing open the train door, Bai Cheng found that Liu San and his group had already been waiting outside for a long time.
“Miss Bai Cheng, please let me also represent #2 Channel in the battle this time!” Seeing Bai Cheng, he immediately stepped forward to request.
A subordinate nearby echoed: “Yeah, Boss Bai, this is the only chance for our Brother San to take action. If you go on stage directly... sigh, we'll just be spectators.”
“Pfft.” Leng Ningxue couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, then asked back, “You guys have that much confidence?”
Liu San also smiled: ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ “We have some confidence, though not a lot, but isn't Miss Bai Cheng here to back us up? I can fight boldly without worrying about our #2 Channel losing.”
After saying that, he pointed to a humanoid Employee beside him and explained to the three of them.
“This is my strongest Employee. Thanks to the Epic Card Miss Bai Cheng gave me, I named him Yamato. He has currently reached Legendary quality, and after pouring all my resources into him, his strength has reached the late Guardian Level.”
Bai Cheng was quite surprised to hear this.
She sized up this Employee named Yamato; she had seen him before.
This Employee did not come from the few Epic Cards Bai Cheng had recently given Liu San, but from the very first one.
Furthermore, Bai Cheng discovered that his strength had already reached Guardian Level Rank 9, though it looked like he had just broken through, with his experience points perhaps only slightly above the threshold.
But considering Liu San had used five thousand magic crystals to nurture him, and he hadn't started from zero, reaching this height was already very unexpected.
“Not bad,” Bai Cheng couldn't help but praise. “I think the other leaders are just so-so. Liu San, work hard.”
She naturally agreed to Liu San's small request to participate, even though he could have just been a 'carried' winner under her leadership.
But this time, Liu San was not just trying to verify the strength gap between himself and other leaders; more importantly, he wanted to prove himself in front of Bai Cheng.
“Alright, prepare to enter the arena.”
Everyone nodded, and then they walked together towards the depths of the Station entrance.
This was a very spacious passage, with the surrounding walls and floor all built from gold bricks of some unknown material.
Following it to the end was a set of stairs leading upward, and the azure sky above the Cloud Heaven Sea could already be seen diagonally above.
The sky was a clear blue, and countless stars twinkled continuously even during the day.
Everyone stepped into it at this moment.
