Chapter 22 Arena

Zhou Nan guessed that [Dali Let Me Create a Miracle] and [The Strongest Scoundrel] probably wanted to use themselves to farm arena points.

too naive!

Do I look very weak?

"Come on, it's time to show your true skills."

Zhou Nan chuckled as he accepted the friend requests from "Dali Let Me Create a Miracle" and "The Strongest Scoundrel," waiting for them to invite him to the arena.

The arena is also a dungeon; you can find the entry option in the dungeon quest window of the quest lobby.

As far as Zhou Nan knew, there were five arena instances: King's Arena, Diamond Arena, Gold Arena, Silver Arena, and Bronze Arena.

The Bronze Arena is the lowest level arena, basically a newbie training camp. There are no entry restrictions; players can enter after completing the newbie trial. There are only two arena maps: the Duel Arena and the Temple of the Four Directions.

The Duel Arena is a pure player-versus-player battle map, while the Temple of the Four Directions is a campaign map that includes NPC factions.

Players engage in competitive duels in the arena, and their win rate is tracked. If they win, they earn arena points.

Of course, those who lose will also have their Arena Points deducted. Arena Points can be negative, and players start with zero Arena Points.

Arena points can be used to exchange for exclusive Arena cards. If you reach a certain number of points, you can also complete achievements and receive corresponding rewards.

The Silver Arena requires players to be level 10 or higher and have an arena score of 100 to enter. A new arena map, "Chaotic Canyon," has been added, along with independent challenge missions.

To enter the Golden Arena, players need to reach level 20 and have a total of 1,000 arena points. As for what facilities are inside, Zhou Nan didn't know. He guessed that there probably weren't many players who could participate in the Golden Arena these days.

As for the Diamond Arena and the King's Arena, the entry threshold is higher, the number of competitive maps is definitely more, and the benefits that can be obtained from them are definitely greater.

Players who do not have the corresponding qualifications cannot enter the advanced arena. Those who have advanced arena qualifications can enter the low-level arena, but in the competition, if they win, they will gain nothing, and if they lose, they will lose a lot of arena points.

If a player's Arena Points drop, they will also lose the qualification to enter the advanced Arena.

The arena also features a spectator system and a betting system, offering a wide variety of gameplay options. Many players are passionate about arena games, and most of the more famous players have earned their reputations through the arena.

Zhou Nan hadn't played much in the arena before, but now he felt he could really shine in it.

He had just returned to the mission lobby and hadn't even had a chance to check the completion treasure chest when he received a system notification: "Ding! Your friend Dali has asked me to perform a miracle and invite you to enter room 365 of the Bronze Arena dungeon. Do you agree?"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Zhou Nan chose to agree.

Then a window to the arena room popped up in front of him.

Before long, [Valkyrie Lin Yun] also entered the room. He was player four, the default team two, and like Zhou Nan, his record was zero wins and zero losses.

At this moment, [Dali Let Me Create a Miracle] spoke up: "You guys should also bet some gold coins, as a prize."

[Valkyrie Lin Yun]: "I think you guys are playing together! Why are you betting gold coins?!"

[The Ultimate Scoundrel]: "It's just for fun, is 100 gold coins too much? Are you going to split it between two people? 50 gold coins each is enough, surely you don't even have 50 gold coins?!"

[Valkyrie Lin Yun]: "Alright, but I don't have many gold coins, so I'll bet... 200 gold coins!"

Zhou Nan was slightly taken aback when he saw [Valkyrie Lin Yun] betting gold coins, thinking to himself that this person was not honest.

What does it mean to bet 200 gold coins?

If you bet less, you'll earn less.

The betting feature is included with every arena map. Players with economic resources can only bet on themselves or their own team, while spectators can also bet. Both sides can bet, and after the match ends, the winner of the bet will receive a proportional share of the winnings.

For example, right now, [Dali Let Me Create a Miracle] and his team have bet a total of 100 gold coins. If Zhou Nan and his team win, they will win these 100 gold coins, and they can then receive profits according to the ratio of their own bet to the total bet of the other party!

Zhou Nan remained silent and quietly deposited 200 gold coins into his account.

"ah!"

"Those two idiots!"

【Dali Let Me Create a Miracle】 and 【The Strongest Scoundrel】 couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and they secretly sent a friend call.

"Are these two idiots? Each betting 200 gold coins, isn't that just handing us free money? After one match, we'll each earn 200 gold coins! We've found the perfect pair; how come we've never encountered such exceptional players before!"

"Is this a scam?"

"What kind of bombshell could they possibly have? Look at the record of these two salted fish; they've never even fought in the arena before. How could they possibly turn things around?"

"Shall we begin?"

"Get started now, before they realize what's happening!"

After some discussion, the two decided to start the game without saying anything.

The room owner is 【大力让我出奇蹟】, who has the authority to start the game and change the room settings.

Then, Zhou Nan's vision went black and then bright, and he was teleported to the [Arena].

The arena is completely empty, flat as a pancake, with no obstacles whatsoever.

"Ding! You have arrived at the duel arena. You have 30 seconds to prepare for battle!"

"Ding! The current arena map is the 'Unlimited Power' mode. Cards can be used without consuming mana and have no cooldown!"

"Ding! You have defeated an opposing player and are declared the winner of the match. You and your teammates are all eliminated and are declared the losers..."

"In the dueling arena, it's a fight to the death!"

At this moment, [Valkyrie Lin Yun] spoke up.

Zhou Nan glanced at him and said, "Why bet so many gold coins? Aren't you afraid of losing?"

[Valkyrie Lin Yun] said, "How could we possibly lose? Those two idiots have no eyesight, but I do. You completed the dungeon quests so quickly, how could you be a newbie? Those two idiots tried to cheat us out of our gold coins, and this time they've met their match."

"Aren't you afraid they're subverting the norm?"

"Hehe, I have more tricks up my sleeve than they do!"

"Old hand, playing again?"

"You too, right?"

"It's wrong to bully newcomers."

"We're the newcomers, okay!"
