In the circular hall, no one noticed the change in Ceci Hailow.
Although these adventurers were allowed to try, no one really thought that these adventurers would be able to solve the mystery of the Demon Eye.
Chen Mo didn't do anything himself and only let his pets do whatever they wanted. He had long been removed from the list of people to be observed. Moreover, the elders of the City of Sin were convinced that if the mystery of the Demon Eye was solved, there would definitely be a lot of commotion.
However, it was obvious that they had made the wrong assessment.
In the hall, Chen Mo looked at the Pet Bar in surprise.
He found that Ceci Hailow had been forced back to the Pet Bar, but she was still in a summonable state. Chen Mo thought for a while and called Ceci Hailow out.
Ceci Hailow came out, but when Chen Mo looked at her forehead, he saw that it was no different from usual. There was no black eyeball at all. The scene he saw a while ago seemed to be an illusion.
However, Chen Mo knew that he definitely didn't see wrongly. The puzzle on the ground had indeed changed instantaneously. A third eye had appeared on Ceci Hailow's forehead, but for some reason, this third eye disappeared immediately after Ceci Hailow returned to the Pet Bar.
Chen Mo looked at Ceci Hailow's Attribute Panel in confusion. However, no matter how carefully he looked, there were no changes to Ceci Hailow's Attribute Panel. It was exactly the same as when he saw it two days ago.
Chen Mo could only give up and let Ceci Hailow continue to play with the puzzle. However, Ceci Hailow had completely lost interest in the puzzle on the ground.
The picture that Ceci Hailow had put together was still there. Chen Mo walked over, but he couldn't see anything special about the picture that Ceci Hailow had put together. It was still a mess.
"It seems that even these adventurers are unable to solve the mystery of the Demon Eye."
Within the ring-shaped hall, an old NPC said in disappointment as he looked at the magic screens in the middle of the hall.
The time for the puzzle segment was about to end. However, no one was able to piece together a possible pattern.
The next night, the puzzle session was over. Chen Mo was led out of his room by an NPC. Then he finally met the other black-name players.
Chen Mo couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the other black-named players with different skin colors and hair, and there was more than one of them.
He could vaguely sense that the City of Sin was not as simple as he had imagined!
However, before he could communicate with the other players, he and the other black-named players were locked into individual cells.
These cells were soundproof. After being locked in, Chen Mo shouted a few times, but he didn't get any response. Hence, he didn't waste his energy.
Chen Mo could have used Ceci Hailow to open the cell door, but he didn't do so.
You Ji, who had come to the City of Sin with him, didn't appear either. It seemed that she had come to the City of Sin for something else.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day. Chen Mo and the other black-name players were all brought to a huge teleportation circle.
The teleportation circle didn't activate immediately to send them to another place.
A large group of black-name players gathered together. Many of them looked at each other curiously.
The black-name players who were able to come here weren't ordinary people. Almost all of them knew that the other black-name players around them were from different countries around the world.
"What's going on?
Could it be that the servers of all the countries around the world are already connected? "
A few of them were whispering to each other.
Most of them were digesting the information that they had received.
Regardless of whether it was them or Chen Mo, they all thought that each country operated the game individually. At a certain time in the future, the servers would be connected.
However, it seemed that the servers had always been connected. It was just that the players didn't know about it.
"Alright!
Everyone, quiet down!
I am one of the Elders of the City of Sin. My name is Hollows. I will be in charge of the Adventurer's Tournament!
Next, you will be sent to the Tournament scene. This will be a battle of luck and strength. I hope that all of you Adventurers can do your best in the competition and not disappoint your Warden!
I won't say much. There will be special rules in the Tournament scene. After you are sent there, please understand them carefully. Otherwise, you will be at a disadvantage during the Tournament! "
An old NPC appeared and said loudly.
A battle of luck and strength?
The other black-name players might not have noticed, but Chen Mo heard Hollows' words and frowned.
Hollows didn't wait for everyone to react. He moved his hand and sent everyone into the Tournament scene.
Chen Mo felt a bright light in front of him. He went from the dim City of Sin to a wide grassland.
System Notification: You have received 10 points!
System Notification: You have received the "Tournament Rule Book"!
Chen Mo then realized that he was standing on a circular grid. At the bottom of the grid, there was a green number "10".
And in front of him, there were three red, black, and white dices floating.
Chen Mo vaguely felt that he knew what this Tournament was about. He opened the Tournament Rule Book that appeared in his backpack.
After a few quick glances, Chen Mo knew how this Tournament would proceed.
Hollows was right. This Tournament was indeed a battle of luck and strength.
First of all, there were no signs of other players in the grassland where he was.
That was because this was not the place where the Tournament really began. The place where he was now was for players to familiarize themselves with the rules of the game.
In this scenario, players could use the virtual dice in front of them to roll ten times to move around the circular grids. Depending on the number they rolled, they would move that many steps. After moving ten times, players would enter the real competition scene and compete with other players.
However, this was not just to familiarize themselves with the rules. From here onwards, it was the real Tournament Tournament.
There were no other players competing for these ten moves. However, when players moved, they could still bring the items they obtained to the real Tournament Tournament scene.
When players moved, they could obtain points. They could also step on traps and monsters. When players stopped, what was on the grid meant that players had to carry out the contents of the grid.
Chen Mo began to roll the dices. However, he realized that only the black and white dices of the three colors would move. Moreover, the black and white dices represented different meanings.
The three dices, from left to right, were red, black, and white.
Chen Mo gave the order to roll the dice. However, the first red die did not move at all. Only the black and white dices began to roll.
Then, a "Forward" appeared on the black die, and a "5" appeared on the white die.
Chen Mo moved forward five steps.
System Notification: You have received 20 points!
The grid was marked with the number 20. Chen Mo had received another 20 points.
After carefully looking at the black and white dices, Chen Mo knew that the black dices determined the player's direction.
The black dices had a total of four sides. Two of them were "Forward", one was "Left", and one was "Right".
Then, the white dices determined the player's movement.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Mo moved three times. Then, on the fourth time, when Chen Mo decided to roll the dices, the red dices reacted.
"Forward", "Backward", "Left", and "Right". The red dices also had four sides. However, each side was different. Chen Mo could choose which side to roll.
Chen Mo looked around. There were a large number of circular grids around him.
Of the six grids in front, three had monster avatars. There were two on the left. This meant that if one stepped on those grids, they would have to fight monsters.
Of the six grids on the right, there were no monster grids. Moreover, the fourth one was a treasure chest.
Chen Mo immediately chose "Right".
After the red dices were selected, the black dices in the middle did not react. The white dices shook for a while. When it stopped, it happened to stop above the number "4".
My luck is not bad!
Chen Mo was delighted.
He walked four grids to the right and came to the treasure chest. The treasure chest automatically opened.
System Notification: You have received a "Dice Card"!
Dice Card: Allows the dice to roll a specific number of steps.
You can have at most one card at a time.
Good stuff!
Chen Mo immediately knew that he had picked up a treasure. In this game, dice cards were definitely good stuff.
Next, Chen Mo continued to move.
Chen Mo quickly used up his ten chances to move.
Halfway through, Chen Mo fought a monster.
This monster was very strong. Even Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow had to spend a lot of time to kill it.
Moreover, the battle with this monster had a time limit. If the monster was not killed within five minutes, the player would be forced to take ten steps back.
However, if the player killed the monster, there was no reward. In any case, Chen Mo did not receive anything from killing the monster, not even a little bit of experience.
During his ten moves, Chen Mo also entered a shop.
When the player moved, the points earned could be used to buy items and cards in the shop. However, the items in the shop were very expensive. Even the cheapest potion cost 1,000 points. The cards were even more expensive. For example, dice cards cost 2,000 points.
There were all kinds of function cards for sale in the shop. With these cards, Chen Mo knew that it would not be easy to successfully complete this competition.
After ten moves, Chen Mo entered the real competition scene with a dice card and 170 points.
It was still a vast grassland. However, Chen Mo could already see the shadows of many black-named players in the distance.
System Notification: The competition has officially begun. The player who reaches the finish line will be the winner!
After waiting for ten minutes, a system notification appeared. Many players could not wait. After the system notification appeared, they threw the dice.
Almost everyone moved forward. Chen Mo was no exception.
Then, all the players realized that this game was not turn-based. As long as the player reached the designated grid, they could immediately continue to roll the dice and move forward!
…
Second Update.
Last night, he caught a cold and felt dizzy. Today, there were two updates.
