Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start - Chapter 461

Chapter 461: 460, [Illusion Duel] (III): [Temple Eternal Ring] _1
[Jefferys] wore a sapphire ring, the size of a pigeon’s egg, on his right index finger.

He rubbed his thumb against the sapphire, and it immediately emitted four dazzling blue rays, forming four semi-transparent options in front of Su Yu.

“Here’s your reward, choose one, adventurer.” Jefferys said.

Su Yu looked at the options: [Gear], [Potion], [Material], and [Other Items].

“Hmm…” he pondered for a moment.

“I choose [Gear].”

His current gear was still level four; it was time for an upgrade.

“Alright!”

[Jefferys] rubbed the gem again, and the four options disappeared, replaced by ten new ones.

These options were [Head], [Chest Plate], [Cap]… [Accessories]. These basically represented the ten different gear slots.

“I choose [Ring].”

The ten options disappeared, leaving four final options.

The four options were: [Attributes (Attack-oriented)], [Attributes (Defense-oriented)], [Skill-enhancing], and [Secondary Occupation Bonus].

“Hmm… I choose [Attributes (Attack-oriented)].” Su Yu made his decision.

He already had plenty of skills, so he didn’t need the [Skill-enhancing]; he preferred attack over defense hence his choice.

“Wish granted!”

“You have acquired [Temple Eternal Ring (Rare) X1].”

[Temple Eternal Ring]

Grade: Rare

Type: Ring

Intelligence+349

Vitality+225

Spell casting speed+3%

Spell critical hit+3%

Special effect: When you deal damage with earth magic, there is a 3% chance of [Petrifying] the target for 1 second.

Requirement: Level 75.

Description: The temple? Treasure, opportunities, and… death.

…

A very standard level six ring, Su Yu evaluated.

He began to use the [Point Star Hand] skill to upgrade the ring.

“Ding, do you want to spend 650,000 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Temple Eternal Ring (Rare)]?”

“Yes.”

“Ding, [Temple Eternal Ring (Rare)] has been upgraded to [Temple Eternal Ring (Epic)], gaining +213 intelligence, +183 vitality, +2% spellcasting speed, and +1% spell critical rate.”

“Ding, do you want to spend 3,220,000 spiritual energy coins to enhance [Temple Eternal Ring (Epic)]?”

Su Yu slightly frowned; it seemed more expensive than he thought, more than 3 million to level up…

After thinking about it, Su Yu decided not to upgrade.

This equipment was not coloured gold after all, and he was reluctant to gild it using [Tina’s Blood], so it was a waste of his 3 million spiritual energy coins. He would just consider it as a transition ring.

Su Yu put the ring, which looked like it was made of platinum and emitted a faint earthy yellow magical aura, on his index finger.

Five seconds later, his consciousness was transported out of the temple instance.

…

In Aphi City’s Mage Tower, Su Yu sat up from the cold floor and opened his eyes.

Seeing Su Yu awaken, Nemesis dropped the half-eaten fish jerky and transformed into a blue and white light, pouncing into Su Yu’s arms.

“Nemesis, you’re awake! What happened to you?” Nemesis said while burrowing enthusiastically into his embrace.

“I was forced to participate in the Illusion Duel earlier, this time only my spirit entered the instance.” Su Yu gently stroked the kitten’s back – Nemesis was becoming increasingly clingy.

“Oh, so that was it.” Nemesis wagged its tail and popped its head out of Su Yu’s embrace: “So, did you do well?”

“Of course, it was easy.”

“Easy, not necessarily so.” Nemesis pointed his tail at the projection on the wall: “Your loli girlfriend seems to be having a hard time this round.”

“?” Su Yu glanced at the projected image. Was Sky Dragon also participating in the Temple Escape?

But after a closer look, he realized that Sky Dragon was not playing Temple Escape but the infamous game called “Fight the Landlord!”

Now, Sky Dragon had advanced to the second-to-last round, and only three groups of nine players remained on the field.

Sky Dragon was the landlord at their table, but her hand was not looking good.

She only had a “Joker” and a “4” left in her hand, so theoretically she would win as long as either of the two ‘farmers’ played a single card.

Unfortunately, the farmer who was about to play had no more spare single cards.

“Pair of 4s,” “Pair of Queens,” “Three 7s with a 6,” “I only have one card left…”

“Ah!” Sky Dragon banged on the table angrily.

Just a bit, she was just a bit short! She almost won!

Su Yu’s consoling message arrived just in time: “It’s okay, Sky Dragon, there’s always next time. Don’t worry.”

Sky Dragon quickly turned off the live stream and sent him a private message: “You saw it all?”

“Of course.”

Sky Dragon felt utterly embarrassed; she lost in front of her potential boyfriend!

But then, she received a game notification: “Ding, detected that you have been eliminated, do you want to participate in [Revival Match]? [Revival Match] will use the rules of the last [Illusion Duel].”

“There’s a revival match?!” Sky Dragon’s eyes lit up, and she quickly chose to participate.

At the same time, she messaged Su Yu: “They actually have a revival match for those who get eliminated! I’m off to play in the revival match. I’m going to fight my way to the finals!”

“Good luck, see you in the finals!”

“Wait! Nemesis, you’re also competing?”

“Yep, I was forced into it. But the rewards from the tasks are pretty good!”

“What rewards did you get?”

“The rewards are…”

Su Yu and Sky Dragon kept chatting.

During their private chat, Su Yu also took a glance at the guild leader’s chat room.

Of course, the guild leaders were also chatting about the Illusion Duel. The first round they participated in was a mix and match, all kinds of games.

There were games like Command & Conquer and Warcraft where soldiers and buildings had to be created to fight, horse races, skiing, climbing, and even a beer-drinking contest to see who could drink more.

Because the rules were too fair, most guild leaders were eliminated in the first round, with very few passing.

Snow Leopard was probably the earliest one to be eliminated. He played Texas Hold ‘Em but he had never played the game before; he didn’t even know the rules. So he got kicked out of the Illusion instance after just one round by the pro players at his table.

But thankfully there was a revival match, so people weren’t too upset.

…

During their chat, time flew by and it was 9 PM by the time the second round started.

Nemesis was smarter this time and entered Su Yu’s pet space 5 minutes earlier.

But after entering the Illusion, Su Yu realized that having Nemesis follow him was of no use.

The second round game was [Desert Emperor’s Sand Soldier Square], which was essentially a snake game.

This “Sand Soldier Square” was based on the first boss [Desert Emperor Azir] of the newbie village instance, [Amumu’s Sorrow].

Same as before, there were 100 participants. Each player controlled 3 sand soldiers, continuously moving forward and left and right on the huge square in front of the pyramid.

The square would refresh an energy block called [Golden Crystals]. The player’s sand soldier team would grow by one by passing the energy block.

If the player’s sand soldier team was blocked or did not eat an energy block within 20 seconds, they would be removed from the square.

The rules were that simple.
