The Rules

Survival Challenge!

It's the most dangerous and thrilling form of competition in all matches.

In fact, the preliminary round of the Storm League is essentially a survival challenge, but the competition time is relatively short compared to the typical survival challenge, with high intensity and concentration. This approach serves two purposes: first, to achieve the screening purpose, and second, to maximize eyeball satisfaction. By creating a climax at the beginning of the league, it attracts more viewers. Because of the Expedition, the organizers actually achieved their goals without considering the cost.

Therefore, this form of competition has become a regular occurrence in unrestricted matches, often appearing in the finals of major leagues.

From this perspective, it's not uncommon for the final to employ a survival challenge; what's uncommon is the specific rules for the survival challenge.

Sure enough, the beautiful female host Christina on the platform continued, "True heroes should not fear risks and should face all difficulties and dangers. Unlike before, this time's survival grand challenge will comprehensively test the survival abilities of the contestants."

"Now, I declare the rules!"

"Rule one: This competition adopts a point system. Defeating a participant earns one point, and each kill of a designated island creature earns corresponding points. When multiple people join forces to attack, the value judgment and point distribution will be determined by the league brain. The victor can claim loot from the loser, but it's limited to consumables."

"Rule two: This survival challenge is an unrestricted match, and all participants are opponents of each other. You can use any means or tactics to attack opponents until they lose combat ability or surrender. The loser must leave immediately, but can retain points based on the number of days. Participants leaving on the first day retain twenty percent of their points, those leaving on the second day retain fifty percent, and those leaving on the third day retain eighty percent."

"Rule three: The duration of this competition is three days, and rankings will be based on points at the end of the competition."

"Rule four: All participants' mechs are hidden in various corners of Death Island. Each participant has a tracker indicating the location of their mech. Participants must use the tracker to find their mech. All mech's high-powered weapons, flight capabilities, search functions, stealth capabilities, and long-range capabilities are locked."

"Rule five: Each mech has one day's worth of rations."

"Rule six: To avoid a mass cleanup situation, participants who find their mech first cannot use their mech to attack participants who haven't found their mech and cannot destroy their mechs. Violators will be penalized at the discretion, and serious violations will result in disqualification from the competition."

"Rule seven: The firepower replenishment systems of all mechs are disabled, with fixed limits on energy and ammunition."

"Rule eight: There are some special resource points hidden on the island. Finding these points allows participants to obtain resource replenishments such as energy cells, ammunition, spare parts, and repair kits."

"Rule nine: To make the competition more interesting, random missions will be issued during the competition. Completing these missions will earn point rewards. Additionally, there will be special merchants on the island, where participants can purchase special services. For example, lifting some weapon power restrictions, unlocking some restricted functions or weapons. Of course, purchasing these services requires points. Furthermore, combat is not allowed in the merchant area, and our service personnel cannot be harmed. Violators will be deemed losers and disqualified."

"Rule ten: Neutral enemies...the Divine Tribe will be introduced in this competition..."

"Wow!"

When the last rule was heard, everyone was amazed.

Storm Group unexpectedly included the Divine Tribe in this competition, which was truly shocking.

"The Divine Tribe enemies will kill every enemy they see, and your task is to escape their pursuit. Of course, if anyone thinks they can create miracles, they can also try to counter-kill. Each Divine Tribe represents a large number of points."

Beside him, Ben added, "The above ten rules are the rules of this competition. Doesn't it feel like a game? Yes, this is a game, and it uses game rules! Use your sweat, blood, combat, and life to please our audience!"

"Now, all participants, pick up your jetpacks and board the shuttle. The shuttle will take you to the island, where you can choose your landing spot. Only after you land will the tracker activate. Now, go, find your mechs, pick up your weapons, and fight!"

With this shout, hundreds of unmanned shuttles flew into the sky.

They skimmed over the low ground and hovered above the grand square, opening their hatches, indicating that participants must fly into the shuttle using their jetpacks.

Reno looked up at the sky and picked up the jetpack in front of him.

Wearing the jetpack was somewhat complicated. Although Reno had learned it at the academy, he hadn't used it much and wasn't proficient. Just as he was struggling to put on the backpack, a fiery figure had already soared into the air and flew towards a shuttle.

It was Antonia.

With a beautiful mid-air somersault, Antonia shot into the shuttle like an arrow but stopped urgently as she entered, showing extremely high skill. Surprisingly, with Antonia's entry, the shuttle didn't even stop; it flew directly outward.

Reno was stunned.

Wasn't each shuttle only supposed to take one person?

But there are 1,200 people here, and only about 600 shuttles are flying in.

Realizing this, Reno suddenly reacted.

Not good!

He increased his speed in putting on the backpack.

On the sky platform, Christina's voice rang out again: "Look, a contestant has already obtained the first shuttle. Yes, as you can see. Each shuttle will only carry one contestant, and there are only a total of six hundred shuttles here. When there aren't enough shuttles, the remaining contestants can only fly over directly with their jetpacks. You might think it doesn't matter, but I want to remind you that the energy in the backpack can only sustain flight for a little over two hours. If you can't find your mech before the energy runs out, you'll have to walk to find it. Of course, if you don't want to waste time, you can apply for emergency delivery, but that will deduct points. If you don't want to start with negative points... then hurry up."

"So, cherish this opportunity, the competition starts now!"

"Finally, congratulations to this contestant. She is... Antonia from Kanton! Congratulations to Antonia, for her outstanding performance, completing the first task of this league: Swift Aviator, and earning ten points!"

As she spoke, everyone was scrambling to put on their jetpacks.

One after another, contestants soared into the sky, rushing into the shuttles.

Thanks to his diligent studying, although he hadn't trained much, Reno quickly finished putting on the jetpack. He pulled the left and right handles, and he was already flying up.

Spotting a shuttle, Reno flew towards it. But just as he was about to reach it, another contestant rushed over and shoved him forcefully. "Get out of the way, rookie!"

As the host said, the competition had already begun at this moment.

Even without mechs, people would still fight!

The one who pushed Reno was a tall, muscular black man who, after pushing Reno, flew towards the shuttle.

In mid-air, Reno rolled towards the black man, and as they grabbed each other, they tumbled in the air, grappling. Just as they were fighting, another figure flew past and into the shuttle. The shuttle immediately flew away, leaving only the two still entangled.

"Bastard!" The black man roared angrily. He wanted to pummel this blond kid viciously, but Reno let go of him and flew towards another shuttle.

"I won't let you go!" The black man roared, chasing after him and grabbing Reno again, grabbing onto Reno's backpack, refusing to let go.

Seeing that he couldn't shake him off, Reno looked towards the shuttle, then lowered his head, maximized the power of the jetpack, and then crashed into the shuttle.

"Oh no!" The black man saw this scene and instinctively felt something was wrong.

The next moment, Reno flew into the shuttle cabin with the black man, just before the crash, he lowered his body and threw the black man in front of him, slamming into the cabin wall. The tremendous impact almost knocked the big man unconscious, even Reno felt a dizzy spell.

But he still struggled to stand up, dragging the black man to the cabin door. "Goodbye, buddy."

He kicked him out of the cabin.
