At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the table in front of him. However, when Levin read it carefully, it was easy to draw a conclusion about what was going to happen in the next round of the game.
'We are not just here to hunt and kill them, but also to dissect them cruelly. This crow man sure has no morale bound, right?' He thought solemnly.
The content in the table itself was pretty simple. In the first column, was the name and the description of the item. Next, the item's image was on the second column, and as for the final one, it was just a bunch of numbers that Levin guessed should be the item's price or point itself. The next game should be to hunt those items and exchange them with the point that was shown by the table, and the objective would be to gather the point as much as possible. There was nothing wrong with it, and honestly, this game should be an exciting one without too much bloodbath.
If only the item that they would need to hunt was not anything related to any living beings.
Unfortunately, it was just a false hope. Right on top of the table, the first item shown there was enough to give him a chill down the spine. There, he saw Azzar's trunk displayed as the item with the highest price on the list.
Mammoth's trunk: Coming from the magical elephant that can transform into a giant mammoth that can control ice power if it gets angry. It has the magical property that could freeze the entire continent. Price: 150.
Well, at least this reassured Levin that the mammoth was not an ordinary elephant. However, this didn't reassure him at all, since being on top of the list would paint the creature as the biggest target in this game. It seemed that the population of elephants in this world would decrease in the next week.
His eyes didn't stop looking at the table. Here, he also saw a lot of magical things that had to be extracted from the animals; such as kraken's tentacles and megalodon's fin – that should be for the players who spawned in the sea area – a bull's horn, a deer's antlers, and so much more. However, there was one common thing here that caught Levin off guard. It seemed a lot of animals here had the ability to transform into a rarer and more dangerous species and also somehow obtained magical power that made their prize rise astronomically.
"As you can guess, the main point of the next round is to obtain as many points as possible. Whoever gets 1250 points will be able to advance to the third round." The crow man suddenly paused, building anticipation for the next thing he would announce. "However! It would be a boring game if you could only hunt animals, so, let's add some twist to it!"
Just right after that, the list refreshed automatically, and Levin couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. Here, he saw a lot of strange things suddenly appeared there. At first, he didn't know what were those items and why would they be there too. However, when he saw Eggly and his laser gun, the soldier realized what was going on instantly.
"That bastard crow man…" He hissed venomously. "He still wants to pit us against each other, huh?"
Yeah, it didn't take a long time for him to realize that the crow man wanted to continue the killing game here, now with the player's most valuable possession as the stakes. He could see his laser gun had a value of 250 points, and there was no way the soldier would give up his weapon except if he was killed by the enemies. More than that, the value of the player's possession was way higher than the item obtained from the animals, which meant that the players would prioritize killing each other first rather than considering any other option for them. This was definitely in line with the principle of this battle royale game.
"What the fuck?!" Chen Ze's outrageous cry suddenly snapped Levin from his thought. "He thinks my baby is only worth 220 points? It is even less than your laser gun! This bastard crow man doesn't know anything about my baby! Fuck!"
Levin gave the scientist his best 'Are you kidding me?' gaze as he just stared at the man speechlessly. However, after the list was updated, he couldn't help but frown, somehow feeling insulted that his laser gun's value was among the bottom low compared to the other players' possessions. Hell, even Mira's wooden staff….
"Shit! Mira's wooden staff is 700 points?! It is among the top fifteen most valuable possessions in this list!" He widened his eyes in shock. At first, he had never thought that there was anything special with Mira's wooden staff, just a tool to help her do her magic. But now, he knew that it wasn't that simple.
'It seems there are still a lot of things I don't know about her.' He stared at the little girl who was still sleeping soundlessly with a complicated gaze. However, he didn't have any intention to pursue this. After all, everyone had their own secret, and he himself would also feel uncomfortable if someone pestered him about his past. 'Still, that means I have to work harder because there is no way she wouldn't be a target after this.'
As he fell deep into his thought, though, Levin somehow didn't notice the weird stare Chen Ze gave to him and the little girl on the couch.
"Yes, as you can expect, the most valuable thing here is the player's possession, so you will still have to fight against each other to obtain more points in the future! If you are afraid that your possession could be snatched, you could just exchange it for points, but all of your possessions would be transferred forcefully to your killer once you are defeated." The crow man continued his explanation. "As for the daily necessities like food, well, you don't need to worry, because I have already provided that on the second page! You can check it out yourself later!"
Levin didn't hesitate to check as this was probably the most essential thing to survive in this world. There were a lot of sections on the second page, from food, clothes, and camping equipment, to a medical box and a simple weapon like a dagger and spear. However, everything there was just a simple one that was enough to let them survive, but not enough to increase their power instantly. It seemed that the crow man didn't want to have someone gaining power instantly without doing anything.
"Okay, maybe, that is all that I can announce now. Congratulations to those who advance to the next round and awaken their new power. For those who haven't, don't worry, there are still a lot of chances to get stronger here! Also, the second round of the battle royale would be started tomorrow for a full month, so. I wish you all good luck in the future!"
