"Country F? The Knight Arena? Using a special itemâs link to pull people straight into an arena? Every branch of the Tourism Management Office has to submit candidates? A global player tournament? The first Olympic-style games for new Ability Users? The New Olympic Games?"
At Peterâs Castle, in the main conference room of the Tourism Management Office, Shen Fei listened to a voice from headquarters describing the situation on the display screen in front of them. The more he listened, the more his brow furrowed.
This is another completely unexpected development.
In his past life, this thing... probably, maybe, most likely didnât even exist, right? Although his status back then was too low and he had nothing to do with matters between nations, an event as renowned as a global tournament would have almost certainly appeared on the Forum. And he was certain that in his past life, there was absolutely no such thing as a global tournament.
This event! It was new!
Moreover, this wasnât some special version or clarification brought about by the evolution of the rules. It was man-made, something created purely and entirely by humans themselves.
The butterfly effect has finally started causing changes among humans themselves...
Shen Fei thought to himself as he listened to the contents of the meeting.
Previously, all the events that hadnât occurred in his past life had been non-man-made phenomena. Now, because of him, a major man-made event had finally appeared. Although he didnât know why this New Olympic Games had come about, he was sure it was related to him.
In fact, Shen Fei had already figured it out. That "special item" they mentioned was the National Treasure Divine Artifact. And that "special link" was the Divine Artifact Link...
Country Fâs Divine Artifact can pull people over from a distance? And send them back? Thatâs a bit overpowered. Even though you canât go too far from the Knight Arenaâs Dimensional Space after being pulled over, itâs still incredibly strong!
Shen Fei had no interest in the so-called New Olympic Games. He was more concerned with the ability of Country Fâs National Treasure Divine Artifact. Just as Number 0 had guessed, each nationâs Divine Artifact had a unique function, and the Divine Artifact Link that every Divine Artifact possessed could indeed be used in conjunction with its special ability.
The New Olympic Games? Is this their attempt at a grand sharing of human abilities, a great unity for the human race in the apocalypse?
Looking at the promotional ad for the New Olympic Games, Shen Fei was speechless.
When the apocalypse descended, the places where the planet expanded the most were near the borders of every nation. Therefore, after the apocalypse began, almost every nation became an isolated island. It was difficult for these "islands" to coordinate their battles. The enemies these "islands" had to face were either monsters inherited from the games or disasters they were forced to confront after a version update. In his past life, there was very little direct contact between each "island." After all, many "islands" were simply wiped out by the invading monsters.
For this reason, Shen Fei didnât want to participate in this New Olympic Games in the slightest. He didnât know what the Tourism Management Office headquarters was thinking, but it looked like they were intent on participating. He, however, had zero interest. Unlike other Ability Users, a Tower Masterâs combat units were primarily Defense Towers. Tournaments were disadvantageous for Tower Masters because their towers were not easy to move.
Besides, he had no favorable impression of the other "islands" whatsoever. In the future, when the special regions that the Neutral Cities had retreated into expanded and began devouring everything around them, he had heard that quite a few "islands" had directly surrendered and become lapdogs. He didnât want to fight in front of those people, performing like a monkey in a circus, just to be stared at...
What gives them the right to expect me to participate? Screw them...
ăHalf an hour lateră
The emergency meeting concluded. Li Yunlong looked at Shen Fei and addressed the group from Qing City.
"Alright! Thatâs the situation," he announced. "Letâs discuss it. Itâs scheduled for three days from now! As long as headquarters writes everyoneâs names on our special item, the item from Country F will be able to transport you all over! You donât need to worry about safety. Our headquartersâ special item will protect us! Thereâs no need to have the slightest concern for your safety on this trip! Does anyone have any questions?"
The attendees from Qing City, besides Li Yunlong and Shen Fei, included Father Shen, Uncle Sun, Wang Dapang, Zhang Qiqiang, Sun Yu, and GunâEr.
"This is a great thing! An absolutely great thing!" No one else spoke, so Father Shen was the first to break the silence. "This is our chance to display the might of our great nation! Weâll trounce those barbarians!" He was, surprisingly, a huge supporter of this competition.
"Donât you agree, son?" Father Shen asked, nudging Shen Fei as he spoke.
Dad? If youâre being threatened, just blink!
He hadnât expected his father to not only support participating but to also deliberately call him out. Shen Fei was a little taken aback.
"Big Bro! I want to participate!" before Shen Fei could answer, Sun Yu, who was sitting next to him, also spoke up. "That Immortal Emperor from Songhai City will probably be there! I want to go up against him!"
He believed his Big Bro was the invincible number one. Sun Yu still held a grudge over the fact that the Immortal Emperor was able to occupy a large city. He had no interest in fighting players from other nations, but he wanted to take this opportunity to face off against the Immortal Emperor. Besides, they had just said that you could be resurrected even if you died in the arena, so he felt no pressure about going.
Sun Yu had already calculated that by the time the tournament started in three days, the Tower Master equipment he inherited would allow him to carry 50 Defense Towers with him. And as long as he could defeat the Immortal Emperor in battle, it would prove that his Big Bro was truly Invincible.
And if he couldnât defeat the Immortal Emperor,
