PFRG: Chapter 140

Based on the information provided by Lu Nanling, the entire Dawn team had a deeper understanding of the so-called rumors. But if they wanted to determine the next arrangements, they still had to wait for the accurate information to be released by the officials.

Fortunately, just as everyone was resting in the hotel the next day, the official announcement was sent to all the players’ emails in a timely manner.

Regarding the so-called century celebration, the players who had heard the news had been looking forward to it for a long time. Once the official news was revealed, it caused a huge uproar. The entire player forum, which had been quiet for a long time, became completely lively again.

[I woke up and thought I was in a dream. I have been in this unlimited game for a year. I didn’t expect that there would be an official event.]

[Could it be that the officials also have a KPI that requires players to clear the level? Seeing that no one has been able to enter the ultimate instance for a long time, they finally became anxious???]

[Who knows? But it is a good thing anyway. After all, isn’t it rumored that as long as someone clears the ultimate instance, there will be a chance to completely close the entire unlimited world?]

[How dare you believe in such a rumor? How ridiculous! If this was true, this world would’ve completely disappeared a few years ago…]

[How many years ago? Are you talking about the master who entered the ultimate instance in Area 1? It is hard to say. if he failed to change the status quo, perhaps he didn’t succeed in clearing the instance.]

[Can you please pay attention to the century celebration itself? Have you seen the rules above? You must have a full team to register, and the starting lineup plus the substitute is a group of six. Am I the only one who thinks that this wave of excitement is the team formation?]

[I just checked the leaderboards. If one team is considered a unit, the top teams won’t want to miss it. This is going to be really exciting!]

[The process of the event is to select the top eight first before competing for the championship. Only one team can get two Joker cards. Don’t blame me for conspiracy theories. This must be the last confrontation instance, hehe.]

[F*k, the purpose of this activity might be to screen out these top players. This is really scary when you think about it!!]

[It is useless to have conspiracy theories. Did you see the summary post next door? Many teams have already signed up. I feel that the top 10 definitely won’t be absent. It depends on how many other teams will join in the fun. If the quarterfinals are really an independent group battle as rumored, I feel that many people will be willing to form a team to make up the number. After all, the rewards for this first stage are quite tempting, even if you can’t win the championship.]

There were heated discussions in the various posts in the forum. In a pinned topic post, the list of teams that had registered had started to be updated one after another. The registration list displayed on the official event page was updated in real time.

After half a day, many top teams could be seen signing up. Among the top ten teams alone, there were familiar names such as Shadow Knights, Plum Blossom Castle, and Heichao, not to mention some of the top teams that often appeared in everyone’s field of view.

Some teams hadn’t made any moves yet, but such big news drooped like a bombshell. In order to better prepare for the ceremony, the officials even extended the safe period for players to stay in the rest area by seven days, making it impossible for anyone to miss such crucial information.

Qiu Ji, the captain of the Seven Seas team, had just finished an instance with his newly recruited team member. The moment he opened his friend list, he was flooded with messages.

He frowned as he read through the messages one by one. He turned back, saw his teammates staring at the virtual panel, and understood what was going on. “Are the others asking you questions as well?”

“Yes.” Zhu Zhou replied anxiously as he replied to others. “They are all talking about the century celebration. They are trying to get information. Captain, should we go?”

“We should go, but don’t rush to reply. Just keep them company for a while.” Qiu Ji played coy with a few familiar players, but he was too lazy to reply one by one. He sent a group message before clearing the dialog box. “At present, there are quite a lot of teams joining in the fun. After all, the rewards for the two Joker cards have been released. The brothers have been fighting for so long just for these two cards. It doesn’t make sense not to fight for it.”

Zhu Zhou listened to Qiu Ji’s words and responded, “So those top teams that aren’t in the instance should’ve already prepared to sign up. The century ceremony. Tsk, it is going to be really lively. The qualifying round will directly determine the top eight places? In this case, more than half the seats should be basically predetermined, right? The four teams of Heichao, Ten Thousand Years Prison, Satan and Prisoner will definitely be able to secure a spot. For the remaining teams, Shadow Knights will probably be able to take a spot as well. In this way, with our team’s current situation, it should be possible to squeeze into the remaining three places?”

Qiu Ji didn’t answer the question directly. He pondered on it for a moment before saying, “There is definitely a chance, but we shouldn’t only focus on looking at the top teams.”

Zhu Zhou was slightly stunned, obviously not quite understanding. “If I don’t look at the top, do I have to look at the bottom?”

“It isn’t at the bottom. It is a new team.” At this moment, Qiu Ji inexplicably remembered Chi Ting, who had rejected him. He quickly flipped through the team rankings of the Sanctuary, and finally saw the name of the Dawn team at the back.

It seemed that they had passed the qualification certification very smoothly.

“New team? What new team? Captain, you aren’t still thinking about that…”

Qiu Ji waved his hand to signal for Zhu Zhou to be quiet. He had already found the name in his friend list and sent a message.

[QIu Ji: Congratulations, your team has been successfully registered.]

Chi Ting had just submitted the registration form for the event when he received the message.

Just a few minutes ago, Rong Jie from Watchtower had asked him for information. He couldn’t help smiling due to this. “In a way, it seems that our team is quite popular.”

Lou Yueren glanced over and saw Qiu Ji’s name. “Is this guy the captain of the team that wanted to recruit you?”

Chi Ting thought for a moment before replying, “It seems to be called the Seven Seas team.”

Lou Yueren wondered, “Is he here to poach you again?”

“I think he just wants to ask if I am participating in the event or not.”

After answering like this, Chi Ting replied nonchalantly: [Thank you. Are you asking me about the century ceremony? Our team has already signed up to participate.]

Qiu Ji obviously hadn’t expected the other party to be so direct. “Ahem.”

He continued to type: [The registration for this event requires a full team, which is five starters and one substitute. You have recruited enough players so quickly?]

[Chi Ting: Yes, my old teammates happen to be back.]

Old teammates?

At first glance, this wording was somewhat subtle, but Qiu Ji didn’t think too much about it. [Then do your best. It is said that the first round is a separate group instance. As long as you pass it smoothly, you should be able to get a lot of generous rewards.]

[Chi Ting: Yes, thank you. We will try our best. After all, the first round isn’t our ultimate goal.]

[Qiu Ji: Uh, then the ultimate goal is…]

[Chi Ting: We need to take first place.]

“Pfft!” Qiu Ji couldn’t help back the coffee he had just drank, and it suddenly sprayed out.

The team members nearby heard the noise and looked over. “Captain, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

‘”Ahem. No, I’m fine.”

Qiu Ji was choked up and coughed repeatedly. After finally calming down his chest, he confirmed again. [First?]

[Chi Ting: Yes, we need those two Joker cards.]

Qiu Ji: “……”

If talking about needs, which team in the unlimited world didn’t need the big and small Joker cards?

Qiu Ji didn’t know why he suddenly thought of Chi Ting again. After all, no matter how optimistic he was at the beginning, each of the top teams were full of experts. It was impossible for one person to easily shake them. At this time, he was speechless and wanted to end the conversation. As a result, he saw Chi Ting’s next message. [Captain Qiu, are you familiar with those top teams?]

[Qiu Ji: It’s okay. I haven’t had much contact with the top ten teams, but I still have some understanding of them.]

[Chi Ting: For example, the top three teams in the current rankings.]

[Qiu Ji: The ranking is just a reference. In terms of strength, the four teams of Heichao, Ten Thousand Years Prison, Satan, and Prisoner are actually about the same.]

[Chi Ting: That’s it.]

Qiu Ji didn’t understand what Chi Ting meant for a moment. Then he received the new message.

[Chi Ting: If it is convenient, can I let a friend add you as a friend? He has something to ask Captain Qiu about other teams.]

[Qiu Ji: Ah, of course.]

A few seconds after replying to the message, Qiu Ji saw a friend request coming in. He glanced at the other person’s name and was stunned. “Lu Nanling?”

“What Lu Nanling? That Lu Nanling?” Zhu Zhou overheard Qiu Ji mumbling and looked over suddenly. “The Lu Nanling from the 5th World/ Isn’t he arrogant and doesn’t care about anyone? When did you have contact with him, Captain?’

“When? Right now.” Once Qiu Ji accepted the friend request, his expression was complicated for a moment. Then the first message sent by the other person directly solved the question in his heart.

[Lu Nanling: Hello, I am Lu Nanling of the Dawn team.]

Surprisingly, even this person had joined the Dawn team?

His eyes fell on the other person’s self-introduction for a long time. Finally, Qiu Ji slowly exhaled and looked back. “Zhu Zhou.”

“Hmm?”

Qiu Ji sighed quietly. “Now I can tell you for certain that there are indeed a lot of uncertainties in a newly formed team. At the very least, it probably won’t be that easy if we want to strive for a top eight position.”

The Dawn team.

In the beginning, he took these people to register. How far had it developed in just a few days”? Was it really as Chi Ting said, and they already had the strength to compete for first place?

After collecting his thoughts, Qiu Ji gave a reply. [Hello, I am Qiu Ji, the captain of the Seven Seas team. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time.]

On the other side, Chi Ting saw that Lu Nanling had already added Qiu Ji as a friend. He felt relieved and stopped paying attention to it.

After the official news was released, Lu Nanling had already figured out all the rules of the event. For other things that required intelligence, Chi Ting could just leave it to the brains of their team.
