Chapter 522: 521. Strange, really strange! Chapter 522: 521. Strange, really strange! The association’s official website interface was usually very clean.
Under normal circumstances, trivial matters were handled by the admins, and not much news made it to the office. But once it did, it ant that the matter was quite important.
However, today, the frequency of backend ssage alerts far exceeded previous occurrences.
What on earth was going on?
With curiosity, Old Li opened the unread ssages, and the first thing that caught his eye was the basic information of a participant nad “Song Qingyuan.”
Region: Yun Province.
Participation: Traditional Chinese Painting Competition, Calligraphy Competition, Challenge Beyond One’s Level.
“Hmm???”
Old Li was taken aback. Why would a participant’s ssage from Yun Province pop up on his screen?
The competitions had just begun, and the works of participants from various places should be scored by the local judges. Only the top five finalists would be planned to co to the capital.
But that would be in three days’ ti.
Initially, Old Li was stunned; as he continued reading, he discovered a very crucial piece of information:
[Challenge Beyond One’s Level: Challenger chooses to surrender.]
“What?!”
Surrender?!
Not resignation, but surrender?!
Resignation and surrender have entirely different anings in Challenge Beyond One’s Level; the forr is akin to pressing the undo button, pretending nothing ever happened. The reasons for resignation are many; perhaps due to personal issues or feeling that one is no match for the opponent.
However, surrendering is an outright admission of inferior skill. By surrendering, according to the challenge rules, one also relinquishes their current ranking position. In other words, if your rank was higher than your opponent’s and you chose to surrender, then the opponent would directly take your place.
In short, resignation ans preserving your current rank, while surrender ans the exact opposite.
What rits discussion is that even if one surrenders, it’s only a concession to a single challenger; one still has to compete with the other challengers. That ans the rankings could still change.
So… what kind of unexpected event led this participant to choose to surrender instead of simply resigning from the challenge?
“Old Peng, soone has chosen to surrender in a Challenge Beyond One’s Level over here; this is really… The works were uploaded just yesterday, right? The judges haven’t even had ti to score them, so why surrender?”
This seed too hasty; there might be a turning point yet.
Strange, really strange!
Usually, nobody would give up their ranking so quickly.
Old Peng, sitting across from him behind two ultra-thin computers, glanced at him and said nothing.
But his look was like he was watching a fool.
Anyway, it was indescribable.
Old Li, who didn’t receive a response, didn’t pay much mind to it, focusing instead on the continuous stream of ssage alerts. He imdiately opened the second unread ssage.
[Challenge Beyond One’s Level: Challenger chooses to surrender.]
“…”
The third one:
[Challenge Beyond One’s Level: Challenger chooses to surrender.]
“!!!!”
Old Li’s expression beca a bit peculiar.
After opening five unread ssages in a row, all revealing surrender actions in Challenge Beyond One’s Level…
He finally looked up toward the other side, “So, what exactly happened last night?”
With so many people choosing to surrender simultaneously, last night’s live broadcast would definitely not be ordinary. The previously indifferent him was now dying of curiosity. His instinct told him the answer lay within last night’s live broadcast!
