Don't confiscate my citizenship

As the surroundings gradually lit up, scenes filled Lan Qi's field of vision.

He found himself in a cold iron prison, and could feel the cold wind coming in from countless unknown gaps, bringing with it a biting chill.

Every breath he took felt like he was swallowing hailstones, and his lungs felt like they were freezing.

"It's too cold..."

Lan Qi's voice was filled with white mist.

In fact, he has never challenged this artificial shadow world because his experience in the shadow world itself is very little.

Counting the two entrance exams, there are only four in total including the real film world.

He glanced around and saw a thick layer of frost condensing on the rough wall. At the corner, an iron chain connected the heavy shackles on his wrists.

The ground has been etched unevenly by time, and dark ice blocks have accumulated in some low-lying areas. Whenever the wind blows in through the gaps in the iron bars, the ice blocks and chains will make a clanging sound.

Hanging from the low ceiling are long ice picks formed by the condensation of moisture in the cell, ready to fall and pierce the prisoner's head at any time.

Thick iron bars formed an entire door barrier, and the corridor outside was filled with constant wind and endless darkness. The whistling sounds seemed to be mixed with the lamentations of souls imprisoned here for thousands of years.

At the same time, information about the shadow world also appeared in front of Lan Qi——

[Shadow World: The Biting Cage of Despair]

[Level: Level 2]

[The number of challengers is 2]

[Welcome to the artificially created and simulated shadow world, which is technically supported by the Magic Industry Institute. 】

[Note: The content of this assessment is a practical simulation of the shadow world. Generally speaking, there is no life-threatening danger in the simulated shadow world. 】

[Note: This movie world is not suitable for challengers with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 】

[After the candidate dies, he will be automatically ejected into the shadow world. The candidate can also actively choose to exit the shadow world. However, you will likely experience death and pain, not limited to hunger, extreme cold and other more intolerable situations...]

[Even if you are in a prison with no hope of escape, and there is no hope for the time being, only those who survive can win in the end. 】

[You have been arrested on the seventh floor of an absolute prison that has never had a prison escape since its establishment. The warden is constantly changing methods to shake the prisoners' will every day. Today you are thrown into the extremely cold punishment room. 】

[All magic cards will be sealed in this shadow world, and their level will be sealed to the second level. 】

[In addition to the initial supplies, you will receive a random supply of supplies every half hour. 】

[Mission goal (endless mode): Survive as long as possible and obtain more information about the prison from other prisoners. 】

Lan Qi read the information about Shadow World with a calm expression.

It was almost the same as what he had crammed in before starting the competition.

In the registered challenger examination question bank of the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association, there are many classic replicas of low-level shadow worlds.

Among them, [Despair's Biting Cage] is a well-known second-level shadow world. It is often used as a practice. The content is to survive for two hours in this extremely cold prison cell with extremely harsh environment and the temperature will continue to drop.

Later, various colleges and the Southern Continent Movie World Management Association gradually discovered its magic modification space.

Because it can be changed into an "endless mode" full of randomness, and in this mode challengers can survive as long as possible in various ways.

It once became a well-known record-making film world.

…

A drop of rain fell on the stone steps, followed by more and more dense raindrops, and the area around the square soon became completely white.

There was a commotion at the edge of Jela Memorial Square, and someone fainted again.

However, the surrounding students from Icerite Academy quickly contacted the hospital over at the Alchemy Institute and rushed to take the girl away.

Looking at the unconscious girl who was sent away.

"Thank you for your help."

The students of the Aloran Royal Academy thanked the enthusiastic Icerita who had just been around to lend a helping hand.

They did not expect that the students of Icerite Academy would be extremely decisive and quick in dealing with such emergencies, and the medical staff who arrived from the Alchemy Institute were also orderly, and the whole process was smooth and smooth without wasting a second.

It was almost like we had just done a drill two days ago.

The students of the Aloran Kingdom couldn't help but marvel at the execution and unity ability of Icerita's students in dealing with emergencies.

"Don't worry, she may have fainted due to anemia, and it is not life-threatening."

The students around him said humbly.

After all the problems were solved, the attention of the students from near to far on the stone steps of the square gradually returned to the screen again.

From the audience's perspective, the camera is facing two adjacent cells. Adams is on the left and Ranch is on the right. They are both behind iron bars. The cells are separated by walls, and they are all in the cells next to them. There are prisoners.

In addition to the initial supplies, if you don't die every half hour, you can get a drop of supplies, which may be food and water, or medicines, textiles, or even fire crystals.

If there is a situation where supplies are stuck, for example, if you are in urgent need of food but have a lot of fire crystals, you can find a way to exchange them with the prisoners in the next cell on the edge of the wall and iron bars.

But at this time, you need to guess the other party's needs and abundance in order to achieve the best trading conditions.

Veterans who have played in this artificial shadow world know that when exchanging materials, you cannot let the other party see what you are lacking. Sometimes you even have to pretend to be full when your own materials are not full, or even when you are already full. Make predictions, improve the structure of your own supplies, and also judge the risk of a transaction being repudiated, because if the prisoner next door is about to die, he may make a one-time scam transaction.

In addition, if you have extra supplies, you can exchange information with other prisoners, and collecting information will also earn you extra points in this shadow world.

"In this endless mode, the temperature will gradually decrease. Even if the supplies are abundant, it will not be able to last indefinitely, because there is only the second level. The current record holder in the single-player mode has lasted for twenty hours and five minutes."

Among the colorful umbrellas on the square, there were upperclassmen explaining the mechanism of the shadow world to the confused lowerclassmen around them.

"Adams' advantage is that his physical fitness as a warrior is better than that of Lanqi, and he has rich experience. However, most of Lanqi's advantages are difficult to use in this film world."

"The main reason is that I am convinced that Lan Qi has never challenged this artificial film world. Some problems with multi-view experience are difficult to make up for through wisdom."

Like Crispy, it takes more wisdom to survive two hours, but combat jobs like Lanqi and Adams, who have high natural physical strength, can endure it in the early stage.

The real competition lies in who can hoard as many supplies as possible in the early stage, and who will have an ultimate battle of willpower in the later stage when the temperature is getting lower and lower.

…

In the area belonging to the Sage's Courtyard, there is a small library loft. Although it is not large in size, the internal design is full of ancient and noble magical academic atmosphere.

The bookshelves in the attic are carefully arranged in a gorgeous pattern, starting from the floor and extending along the walls to the ceiling, like the ramparts in an ancient castle.

Walking up to the second floor of the attic, an independent magic screen hangs high on the wall, its surface flickers with light and shadow from time to time, playing the same scene as the outdoor giant screen in Jela Memorial Square.

And in the most conspicuous position in this attic.

"Hahaha, Lan Qi is so big."

A woman in a black dress sat in the main seat and commented on the scene on the screen, laughing so hard.

This place belongs to a strong team from the Sage Academy, and it is also a unique event venue granted to them by the school.

The current leader of the team is the gold-level challenger, Marquis Mordan Gassigos, but it is very obvious that this woman in a black gauze dress, a fourth-year student at the Sage Academy and a platinum-level challenger, is the real speaker.

Mo Dan, who was standing downstairs looking at the screen, still didn't look relaxed at this time.

He had always had issues with Lan Qi, and he had always believed that if Asna, the vice president of the student union, refused to challenge among the third-year students of the Sage Academy, then he would be the strongest.

As a result, everyone unanimously recommended Lan Qi.

But seeing the content of this shadow world, Modan didn't think Lan Qi could win easily.

"Lan Qi is so big this time, do you think he dares to lose?"

As if she was aware of Mo Dan's condition downstairs, the woman in black gauze stood up, leaned on the railing and asked with a smile downstairs.

"..."

Modan is having a hard time talking.

He couldn't deduce the mood and attitude of the person on the second floor at the moment. She was more or less related to this bet.

Because she is one of Dean Loren's fiancées.

"Senior sister, do you still think Lan Qi can win?"

After a moment of silence, Modan raised his head and asked uncertainly.

"I think he will lose."

The woman in black veil covered her cheek, as if praying,

"Lose, lose, Lan Qi, play Dean Loren even harder!"

Although she likes her teacher, Dean Loren, she feels very happy every time she sees Dean Loren suffer. She really wants to be able to play with Loren herself one day.

Just thinking about it, her face gradually turned red with joy.

At this time, the shadow world picture appeared on the screen on the wall.

Unsurprisingly, Lanci and Adams both chose to use their physical strength to carry on, hoarding supplies and waiting for the prisoners in the surrounding cells to initiate transactions with them.

It seems that they are really going to have an ultimate battle of willpower.
