"Who are you people? This is the World Market, and you must follow the rules here." Du You’s expression darkened, as he hadn’t expected to encounter such brazen individuals here.
The others didn’t care and firmly surrounded Du You in the middle. "Of course we know, just hand over the heart, and we’ll leave imdiately, otherwise, we’ll keep you surrounded here; if you’re capable, fight us."
Du You’s expression grew even uglier; he too had to abide by the rules here. If he were to attack, that would an breaking the rules of the market, not only would he have to pay a large sum of Crystal Coins in compensation, but his trading qualifications here would also be canceled. In severe cases, he might even be subject to other penalties, all of which Du You was unwilling to endure.
Not just Du You, but others felt the sa. Yet these people shalessly surrounded him, and he couldn’t even get out. Without using skills, it was simply impossible to leave.
To make matters worse, this place restricted many special types of skills to protect everyone’s rights. The most crucial ones were ntal and spatial skills; he couldn’t even use Instantaneous Movent to leave.
It could be said, except for the legal usage of personal spaces, other spatial skills were unusable here.
If these people didn’t leave, and he couldn’t fight back, it would be a huge waste of ti. Being trapped here, who knows how long it would take before soone from the college ca to help.
By now, quite a few people had already gathered around to watch the drama unfold.
"What do you want? I’m not giving you the item," Du You said. It was his material for advancent, sothing he had discovered with great difficulty; he wouldn’t just hand it over, and probably no one would.
The leader of the others wore a disdainful smile. "Hmph, I’ve heard you’ve been very arrogant lately. How about it? Dare to match against ? Let’s decide the winner by strength."
All of a sudden, the anger in Du You’s heart vanished; apparently, these people had intentionally co for him. Maybe they had been lying in wait here for a long ti, especially since he checked in daily when he was free.
Catching on to his routine wasn’t a difficult task. This damnable World Market had restricted the disguise function. Otherwise, with Du You’s personality, he would definitely have hidden his presence coming to this kind of place.
"When the College Alliance developed this world, they decreed that we mustn’t kill each other," Du You coldly stated, all the while observing these people, trying to see exactly what they intended to do.
The other party disdainfully said, "Who said anything about killing each other? Our Alliance Comprehensive College is creating benefits for the community. Just like your college built this World Market, we’ve also established an arena."
Du You was stunned, not expecting Alliance Comprehensive College to actually do sothing like this. Was this an attempt to break away from Capital University? It was indeed very wasteful, but upon reflection, it seed quite normal. The two colleges were fundantally at odds, always seizing opportunities to suppress each other; this was sothing they often did.
"There’s an arena too? Alright, then I accept your challenge."
Du You didn’t want to waste ti here, and since soone was looking for trouble, he was ready. This was a good opportunity to boost his reputation; even if there were traps, he was up for it.
"Good, I, Jiang Hao, respect you for this. This is the way to enter the arena; after signing the contract, we can go in," Jiang Hao said.
After signing a contract, Du You and Jiang Hao disappeared. But the next mont, everyone in the market received news of the duel, which could be stread live on their panels, while so began a betting pool with Crystal Coins.
"Why go through all this trouble just for Du You, after searching for so many days?"
"Of course, Du You is very important; he has high prestige, and attacking him is akin to tarnishing the reputation of Capital University. The news we just got, this guy has made big headlines again; naturally, we need to suppress him."
"How did you know he would agree? Wasting ti is relative; if he doesn’t leave, then after a while, people from Capital University will certainly co to help him."
They were all from Alliance Comprehensive College; they would analyze the high likelihood of their plan succeeding.
The previous person calmly said, "Originally he might not have, but now it’s different. Wasting ti is too costly for him because his reputation is now so high, and his strength is considerable. Every minute here in this world can bring him great benefits. Besides, staying here is also losing face. The reason he bought that heart was probably because it’s his material for advancent."
"Could you guess that?" Many people were incredulous.
"Of course, if it weren’t for advancent material, who would spend so many Crystal Coins on it? The asking price is already far beyond the material’s worth." This was a negotiating tactic, setting a high price and then bargaining slowly.
"I see, but how does that benefit us?"
"Of course it does, you fool. Through this opportunity, we can directly promote our arena, letting more people know about it. Moreover, we can suppress his reputation while earning a big sum from the bets," replied the other.
This was a win-win-win situation; the only remaining question was this.
"Are we sure to win? I’m a bit worried. Du You is known for his strength; he must be quite formidable," one of them expressed his primary concern.
"So what if he’s formidable? Most of his skills are ant for use on the battlefield; although they cover a large area and are powerful, their preparation ti is too long and not flexible enough, which can’t bring out a Spellcaster’s true power. Although Jiang Hao doesn’t have those large-scale magics, his close-combat skills are certainly top-notch; we’ll win this for sure," they concluded.
Another person chid in, "Indeed, that person we looked up possesses Dark Attribute, while our Jiang Hao is a Saint Knight of Light Attribute, which completely counters that evil Attribute."
The group laughed as they talked, not only accomplishing the task set by the college but also making a fortune along with it. It was truly a good deal. At this mont, many had already shifted their focus to the arena.
The World Arena, a special space where you can fight freely. If fatally attacked, the rules protect you and send you out, although injured, you definitely won’t die. That’s the primary function of the arena.
