As the system's voice ceased, all the trialists erged from their excitent, turning their attention to the rewards offered by the system, as well as the calculation of contribution points.
"Without a doubt, Waldo must be ranked first! He killed Liuli and repelled a million monsters. If he isn't first, it simply doesn't make sense."
"We can't possibly get the first place, but I feel like being in the top ten is possible."
"I think so too. When it cos to ranking contributions, everyone is more or less the sa. In the end, it all depends on how the system ranks us."
The trialists discussed among themselves.
At the sa ti, so were concerned about the second phase of the assessnt task, the Chessboard Survival Ga.
From the na alone, it was clear that this was a very dangerous assessnt.
Just the word 'assessnt' implied that many trialists would perish.
It was like surviving a hundred days in the land of darkness.
At the beginning, there were three to four thousand trialists.
Now, not even halfway through the ti, the vast majority of the trialists had died.
If it wasn't for Waldo's intervention to resolve the crisis, perhaps no trialists would have survived.
...
"The Chessboard Survival Ga, this ti, it's uncertain how many trialists will make it to the end."
So were worried, not optimistic about their future.
...
An hour later, the system announced the rankings.
As expected, Waldo was ranked first.
This was beyond doubt and within the expectations of all the trialists.
And Waldo received the mysterious reward given by the supre rulers.
"A mysterious reward? What could it be? Given by the supre rulers, it must be extrely valuable! Otherwise, Liuli of the divine race wouldn't have gone to such lengths for this reward!"Waldo was excited.
However, just as he was about to check the mysterious reward, he was inford that he could not view it yet.
This left Waldo montarily stunned.
"What the heck? Can't view it?"
But then, Waldo let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, it's not that they won't give it to , but that I need to enter the second assessnt to receive it!"
Waldo couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
Soon, the hundred-day survival period in the land of darkness ca to an end.
At this ti, so trialists were expectant, while others were worried, fearful, and uneasy.
The latter were in the majority.
After all, having experienced countless life-and-death crises, everyone was well aware that the later stages would bring more brutal dangers and even fiercer competition!
At so point, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Each snowflake was the size of a palm, extrely cold, and crystal clear.
Nurous trialists looked up at the sky, admiring this unparalleled rare beauty.
Just then, the system's voice ca.
[The assessnt in the land of darkness officially ends, and the second assessnt task, "Chessboard Survival Ga," now begins!]
Subsequently, the trialists felt the world spin around them.
Waldo was no exception.
He only felt his body enveloped by an irresistible force.
Then, he was dragged sowhere unknown.
His brain roared as if struck by millions of thunders.
Soon, his consciousness plunged into the void.
...
Ti passed, unasured.
When Waldo regained consciousness, he was shocked to discover that he seed to have entered a very dreamlike world.
The sky was adorned with the sun, moon, and stars, shining brilliantly.
However, there was no ground in this world.
Instead, there was an imnse chessboard.
It was desolate all around, with no other things in existence.
Except for the chessboard.
"Such a huge chessboard?"
Waldo was stunned.
Oh heavens, what kind of world had he co to?
He was now at the center of this boundless chessboard, surrounded by nothingness.
Looking far into the distance, he found nothing.
[Welco to the Chessboard World!]
The system's resounding voice echoed in Waldo's mind, bringing so order to his flustered state.
[Trialist Waldo, you are now in the Chessboard Ga World. Here, each trialist is a chess piece. Your fate is no longer in your own hands, but in the roll of the dice!]
[Fate is like chess, and you are all but chess pieces.]
[Now, the system will explain the ga rules to you:
First, all trialists can roll the dice once per day. Based on the number rolled, you will be forcibly moved to the corresponding square.
Be aware, different squares have different things. So have food, so have various weapons, and so, various dangers...
Second, no trialist is allowed to leave the boundaries of the chessboard. Any trialist who dares to forcibly leave will be eradicated by the system. Please think carefully before acting!
Third, while on the chessboard, you may encounter other trialists. However, most of the ti, you will be alone. If you encounter other trialists and you are in the sa square, only one can survive...
Fourth, rember, the further you go, the more dangerous the squares will beco, and the probability of survival will decrease. Trialists are advised to enhance their strength in the early stages to better cope with the dangers later on...]
The system detailed the rules of the Chessboard Survival Ga and various precautions.
After talking for about ten minutes, Waldo listened patiently.
By then, he had gained so understanding of the Chessboard Survival Ga.
First, you will receive a die.
Every day, there is a chance to roll the dice.
You can choose to roll or not to roll.
If you don't roll, there will be no danger.
But likewise, you won't be able to obtain resources necessary for survival.
"Arriving in this chessboard world, the rules and constraints beca much stronger. Even though I've beco a Level 5 Challenger, the difference between and ordinary challengers is not significant," Waldo felt the energy in his body flow sluggishly, raising an eyebrow.
The rules of the chessboard world were too bizarre, even more so than the Land of Darkness.
His power was completely compressed here.
Although his realm remained, the gap between him and ordinary challengers was not significant.
Moreover, the key point was that he couldn't survive more than three days here without food and water.
Therefore, even he had to roll the dice.
"Is my fate just to be toyed with?"
Waldo's eyebrows twitched, a complex feeling welling up in his heart.
It was quite unpleasant.
The advantages he had worked so hard to gain along the way were gone in this place, just like that.
Treated just like ordinary challengers, played with at will, unable to take control.
Isn't it laughable?
Anyone would probably feel bitter in their heart.
Waldo wasn't a saint or a buddha, he was like any normal person, unwilling to accept this, feeling resentful.
It was only natural to harbor resentnt.
This so-called supre rulers seed quite unfair.
However, although he complained internally, Waldo didn't dare to express anything on the surface.
After all, he was under the watchful eyes of the supre rulers.
If he showed his dissatisfaction...
Heh, the supre rulers could easily destroy him.
