Beauty and the Bodyguard

Among these, how to make trade-offs to maximize returns is definitely a technical task that requires careful thinking. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you will only be doing useless work with no benefit, and you will not be able to have the last laugh.

However, other newcomers need to think carefully about this issue, but Lin Yi and his subordinates have no such worries at all.

For them, the elixir seeds have been entrusted to Lin Yi anyway, so the next task is just to deal with the challenge with all their strength. They can go all out without any scruples. This is much happier than other newcomers.

After Hu Yunfeng explained the rules carefully, he let the newcomers of the three major pavilions go back to prepare. Since today is the 19th, it happens to be the day specified for the challenge, so the first round of the challenge will officially start in the afternoon, leaving it for the newcomers. There is not much time to prepare.

After Hu Yunfeng made the announcement, the newcomers did not disperse. They all gathered together in twos and threes to discuss countermeasures.

After all, if one person is against the other and three is against the enemy, if he just goes back and works alone behind closed doors, he might get himself into trouble. And in such a group discussion, even if it is impossible for each other to truly talk to each other because of competition, it can still be achieved. What you gain will at least not go astray.

"The rules of this challenge are really weird and hard to understand!" Qiao Hongcai scratched his head in confusion and said to Senior Brother Kubi and Lin Yi.

Xiao Ran nodded with deep sympathy: "It's true. Normally, this kind of challenge is simple and direct. You can challenge it with all your strength as high as you can. Instead of all kinds of restrictions like now, people can't do their best. go."

It is true that for them, unlike others who have to worry about cultivating elixir seeds, they have a lot less to worry about, but even if they are just dealing with the challenge, there are still many ways to deal with these rules, and it is not as simple as before rough.

For example, this challenge lasts for two months. Even if we don’t worry about the supply of elixir seeds, we still need to distribute them reasonably. Otherwise, if we use too much force in the past, it will be useless even if we gain points temporarily. If you are tired, you will still lose, or even lose more.

For another example, according to the rules of this challenge, it is not that the higher the ranking of the cave, the better. It is true that obtaining a better cave can help with cultivation, and even cultivating elixir seeds can benefit from this.

But the problem is, this also means that the risk is greater. Once the challenge is lost, the challenge points that will be deducted will be much higher than those of newcomers from inferior caves!

Although Xiao Ran, a newcomer in Cave No. 1 on the mountain, looks very beautiful at first glance, the aura of the cave has an advantage. Moreover, under this rule, in addition to the points accumulated in the previous two assessment sessions, his initial points are also In this link, you can also get an additional fifteen points corresponding to the No. 1 cave in the mountain, which is higher than all the other fourteen caves. It seems that everything is beautiful, but this is just an appearance.

In fact, in terms of the published challenge rules, Xiao Ran, who was in Cave No. 1 on the mountain, was definitely the most disadvantaged among the fifteen people.

Not to mention that once he loses, he will have to hand over all fifteen points. The most critical and fatal point is that according to the rule that only low rankings can challenge high rankings, he has no right to actively challenge anyone!

Although the No. 1 Cave House under the Mountain and fifteen challenge points are definitely the most substantial rewards in this challenge. In the end, there will inevitably be newcomers who can’t help but challenge him, but the key question is whether to challenge and It’s all up to these competitors to decide when to launch the challenge!

If everyone else had thought this rule through, realized the potential disadvantages represented by the cave at the bottom of the mountain, and arranged it for the last round two months later, then Xiao Ran would really cry to death.

He is completely passive by nature. If no one takes the initiative to challenge him in the early and mid-term, no matter how hard he works and no matter how outstanding his strength is, it will be in vain. He can only hold it in in the cave at the bottom of the mountain, unable to do anything. .

And if we look back at Meng Tong, who is currently in Cave No. 15 at the bottom of the mountain, although it seems that the cave is the worst, in fact he has a huge innate advantage. He can take the initiative to challenge any newcomer in Qingyun Pavilion, and at the same time You can also fully follow your own wishes and rhythm to maximize the points income in this link.

To give the simplest example, if he has absolute confidence in his own strength, then in the next eighteen rounds of competition, he can sit still for the first four rounds. In this way, no one can challenge him, and he will be in an absolutely safe position. .

And in the next fourteen rounds, starting from Cave No. 14 at the foot of the mountain, each round challenges one person upwards, until the last round of the challenge, challenging Cave No. 1 at the foot of the mountain.

In this way, if he can win them all, he will be able to steadily gain points in each round, and more and more as he goes on.

Challenging Cave No. 14 at the foot of the mountain is worth two challenge points, Cave No. 13 at the foot of the mountain is worth three challenge points, and finally Cave No. 1 at the foot of the mountain is worth fifteen challenge points. Added together, it is a total of one hundred and nineteen. point!

This is the stage of this challenge. Regardless of other people taking the initiative to challenge and give out points, the theoretical maximum points that can be obtained are much higher than the previous three assessment stages that have been completed or are in progress.

Don't forget, even if Lin Yi got god-level perfect scores in both the previous two sessions, the total score was only 105 points, which was still a long way from the theoretical perfect score in this challenge session.

And if there are other newcomers who take the initiative to challenge and give points during this process, the points that can be obtained in the end will be even higher than this!

Of course, this perfect score is only theoretical. After all, the strength difference between newcomers is not too big. Unless they are peak masters like Lin Yi who deliberately hide their strength in the early stage of foundation building, other newcomers of Qingyun Pavilion want to get it during the match. It is extremely difficult to win completely.

And even for an early-stage foundation-building master like Meng Tong, who has successfully built a foundation, the difficulty is still not small.

Not to mention that it is impossible for Lin Yi to let him go. In fact, even without Lin Yi, other people such as Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, with the assistance of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is entirely possible to reach the early stage of Foundation Establishment in these two months. At that time, everyone was at the same level, and they had all been promoted recently, so they were basically on the same starting line. It was hard to say who would win in a real fight.
