Chapter 15, the anti-addiction system, is now online.
The increase or decrease in points in the StarNet Ladder Ranking Tournament is related to the two Soul Masters participating in the competition.
To be precise, the winning team's points increase is related to the losing team's points; the losing team's points decrease is related to the winning team's points.
In short, the more points your opponent has, the more points you gain after winning; the fewer points your opponent has, the more points you lose after losing.
In each match, the points can increase or decrease by 1 to 10.
Let's take a competition between Soul Masters as an example:
If the losing team has 0 to 10 points, the winning team will have 1 points added.
If the losing team has 11 to 20 points, the winning team will have 2 points added.
If the losing team has 21 to 30 points, the winning team will have 3 points added.
……
Similarly, if the losing side's score is between 91 and 100, then the winning side's score will increase by 10.
on the contrary--
If the winning team has 0-10 points, the losing team will have 10 points deducted.
If the winning team has 11-20 points, the losing team will have 9 points deducted.
If the winning team has 21-30 points, the losing team will have 8 points deducted.
……
And so on, if the winning side's score is between 91 and 100, then the losing side's score will decrease by 1.
Xie Xie's score is 3, which is in the 0-10 range. After Meng Xinghe wins, his score increases by 1.
On the other hand, Meng Xinghe was participating in the ladder tournament for the first time. His initial score was 0, which was in the range of 0 to 10. After Xie Xie's defeat, his score decreased by 10.
Since Xie Xie only had 3 points, and there were no negative points in the ladder competition, his points were directly cleared to 0.
…………
Star Battle Network, the private space where "I am the best".
"I...I...I..."
Xie Xie, who was teleported back by the system, was completely bewildered.
who am I?
What just happened?
Where am I now?
"Master, I regret to inform you of some bad news. You have just lost to an opponent with 0 points, so your accumulated 3 points have been cleared by the system."
A beautiful young woman dressed in black stockings and a maid outfit spoke the cruelest words in the gentlest voice.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie, who had not yet fully recovered from his daze, froze on the spot, resembling a lifelike painted sculpture.
After a while, a piercing shout filled the private space.
"Ah!!! My points! System, I'm reporting someone for cheating!"
"Dear Master, there is absolutely no cheating in the StarNet Ladder Ranking Tournament. Please calm down."
Based on her AI-driven intelligence, the maid did not utter hurtful words such as "If you're bad, practice more."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie calmed down.
He suddenly realized that he might have met Meng Xinghe, the top genius who had been the subject of much discussion in Donghai City recently.
"I didn't even see how he made a move before I was instantly killed. So, the gap between me and the Federation's top geniuses is really this vast?"
Xie Xie was somewhat taken aback, but he was still a child and recovered quickly.
He looked at his maid, "Match me an opponent, I want to win back my points!"
"I'm so sorry, my dear master."
The maid shook her head regretfully and said, "You have been online for two hours today. The anti-addiction system is now online. Apart from your private space, you cannot use any of the functions of Star Battle Network today."
Xie Xie: ...
Damn it, how could he forget about this crappy system!
Star Wars.net official regulations:
Soul Masters under the age of ten can only be online for two hours each day.
Soul Masters aged 10 to 14 can only be online for four hours a day.
Soul Masters aged 14 to 18 can only be online for six hours a day.
Soul Masters aged 18 and above are no longer subject to online time restrictions.
He is only six years old and only spends two hours online each day. He didn't make the full amount of time in the past few days and almost forgot about this stupid rule.
Thus, Xie Xie could only log off with great reluctance.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Meng Xinghe also began his winning streak in the ladder competition.
99.99% of Soul Masters at this level are only at the first Soul Master level. Meng Xinghe is like a tiger among sheep, dominating all sides.
However, instead of slapping his opponents to death like he slapped Xie Xie to death, he experimented with various uses of the soul skill "Qi Shaping" during the competition.
Meng Xinghe was lucky; his second opponent had a very high score of 93.
He looked at his opponent, a boy of about twelve years old, with an ordinary appearance and a slightly taller stature than his peers.
A twelve-year-old Great Soul Master is a genius in the general sense, but this boy is still at a certain level at such a young age, so his talent can only be described as ordinary.
With ordinary talent and a score of 93, it is clear that the boy's soul power is not low, either level 18 or 19.
Meng Xinghe looked at the boy, and the boy was also looking at him.
At around six years old, his innate soul power is at least level nine, and his martial soul must also be powerful.
"Another genius Soul Master."
A hint of envy rose in the young man's heart. He then released his martial spirit and spirit rings, entering a battle state.
His martial soul is an ordinary iron sword, with innate soul power at level four. His family's heirloom soul spirit allowed him to possess a hundred-year soul ring, and at the age of twelve, he cultivated his soul power to level nineteen.
Now, he is confident that he can break through to level 20 before the age of thirteen and successfully touch the minimum threshold of genius.
As the young man drew his sword and charged forward, he couldn't help but recall the other genius Soul Master he had met the day before.
He was a boy of about six years old, with short brown hair and dark green eyes. The dagger with the attribute of light in his hand left a deep impression on him.
This was the first time the boy had directly experienced the enormous difference in the quality of his martial soul.
Both his iron sword and the dagger with the attribute of light were weapon spirits, which created a superior suppression effect. If his soul power had not been far superior to that brown-haired boy, he would have been the one to lose.
"The brown-haired boy's martial soul is a powerful light-attribute dagger. I wonder what kind of powerful martial soul this handsome little boy possesses?"
The boy rushed up to Meng Xinghe and swung his iron sword with all his might.
Seeing that the little boy showed no intention of defending himself, the boy did not stop, because Star Battle Network was a virtual world and there was no need to worry about casualties.
However, when the iron sword struck Meng Xinghe, the boy felt as if he had struck not a person, but an incredibly hard alloy.
Anyone who has studied physics knows that forces act in pairs.
The immense recoil from the iron sword caused the boy to stagger back several steps, almost causing him to lose his grip on the iron sword spirit.
The boy looked ahead in surprise, only to see a small cluster of flowing golden light where the iron sword had struck.
But what shocked him was not that, but the soul ring on Meng Xinghe's body that emitted a purple aura.
Purple, that's the symbol of a thousand-year soul ring!
This child looks to be only six years old, right?
A six-year-old with the first soul ring in a thousand years—such a genius soul master has appeared in East Sea City!
And he was so lucky; there were so many Soul Masters in Donghai City, yet he was matched with this genius!
