I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 865. Cheating? That's wisdom, do you understand?

Xia Feng's vision went black for a moment, then light flooded his eyes, and data appeared on the square pillar.

[Seats: 9]

[Remaining Ember Stones after Round 3: 62]

[Currently possesses 660 Ember Stones in Round 4]

[Level 0 Item Cards (2): Active Burst Position Card, Recording Card]

[Level 1 Item Card: None]

[Level 2 Item Cards (9): Shop Price Increase, Flawless, Sincerity Card *2, Designated Exposure Position *3, Forced Plunder *2]

[Tier 3 Item Cards (3): Ember Domain Punishment, Parasite (effective in the current round), Death Carnival]

[Special Item Card: None]

[Fourth round of settlement in progress—]

[Hunting: 1 (50 per person)]

[You have successfully hunted down Player 7 and will receive a reward of 50 Emberstones. As this is the first kill, you will receive an additional 50 Emberstones.]

[As the Black King, you have an additional settlement task—you successfully completed 4 rounds of identity concealment and obtained 20 Ember Stones.]

[Number of deaths in this round: 3]

[Seats of Death in This Round: No. 2, No. 4, No. 7]

[You have Level 3 Death Frenzy. For each enemy that dies, you gain 60 Emberstones, for a total of 180 Emberstones!]

It has to be said that that jerk, Juefeller, really did him a huge favor.

Taking Jin Yangtian away will also bring him considerable profits.

【现拥有烬石：（+50+50+20+180）960颗】

The sudden influx of three hundred made Xia Feng's heart leap into his throat; he was just 40 short.
It's only 40 short!
If one more person had died, he would have surpassed 1000 points by now and ended the game!

Unfortunately, these sacred realms are too difficult to traverse.

The three who have died were all killed by Xia Feng using some clever tricks.

As for the other five, they were utterly useless; they didn't manage to get a single kill.

[The shop is now open. Private exchanges are now available. You have one minute to exchange for item cards. The shop will close after one minute.]

[This is the fourth round of settlement; store recycling is now closed.]

Prices in the current online store have increased by 150%.

[You have a Level 2 Mall Price Increase Card. Do you want to adjust the current mall price increase?]

His true form is currently in the Celestial Realm, where the density of Ash Lands is high. As long as he can obtain a Super Ash Landscha Card, the chance of gaining 40 Ash Stones from exploring the Ash Lands is still very high!

So after thinking for a moment, Xia Feng decided to keep the price unchanged.

[Some players used a price increase card in the in-game store to change the current price increase from 150% to 100%]

In this way, he can buy a Super Jhinchaka at a slightly lower price.

[A second player used a price increase card in the store, changing the price increase for that round from 150% to 200%]

Xia Feng: "?"

No, who the hell is it?! Xia Feng looked up and around. Although there was no light at the moment, he could still vaguely hear a soft laugh coming from the high platform where Ms. Mi was located directly opposite.

[Since two players used the price increase card simultaneously, the price with the higher increase will be used as the effective result – 200%]

"Fine, you're awesome!" Xia Feng sighed and lowered his head. After the mall prices doubled, the level 0 card was priced at 12, the level 1 card at 80, the level 2 card at 200, and the level 3 card at a terrifying 600.

It takes 200 Emberstones to buy a Level 2 Super Emberstone, and it's uncertain whether my income will even exceed 100, so I simply can't afford it.

As for Tier 3 cards, there are probably very few with a total asset value exceeding 600 on the field.

However, in fact, Flawless can also be used to remove the single-target effect of the mall's price increase card. For example, if Xia Feng has a Flawless card left, he can use it to remove his own price increase, so that the price will only increase by 1.5 times.

However, this is still somewhat counterproductive, unless one adjusts the price from 1.5 times to 1 times like Xia Feng did, so that the price does not rise, there may be no profit margin.

After a minute had passed, Xia Feng still didn't make a move, giving up on any unnecessary actions.

Given the current premiums charged by online marketplaces, any purchase carries significant risk and is not worthwhile.

[2.1 Exchange Phase Ends——]

[Since two players already have more than 800 Embers, they have entered the final battle. The rankings are now being announced.]

"Ok?"

Two people? Xia Feng gasped. He had thought that only a cheat-like player like himself, with an Ember Stone score greater than 800, should be in a commanding lead.

But I didn't expect there was another person with so many Ember Stones?

Who the hell is that?!

Soon, as the panel information refreshed, Xia Feng saw a seat number that was unexpected.

[As of now: The following is the total number of Ember Stones for all seats]

First place, No. 9: 960 (spades)

Second place, number 8: 880 (The Pope)

Third place, No. 3: 543 (Tu Lin)

Fourth place, No. 6: 271 (Ms. Mi)
Fifth Place, Number 1: 30 (Huang Zhaoyue)
6th Place, No. 5: 0 (Zong Yue)
Nos. 2, 4, and 7 have been eliminated.

The moment the rankings appeared, everyone was startled and looked up in unison, all glancing towards Gao Zhu, number 9.

Xia Feng became the focus of attention.

However, the auction had not yet begun, and the entire area was pitch black, with no one visible.

Huang Zhaoyue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, surprised. How did this guy do that?
Although the gap between them and the Black Moon Pope is not too large, the sheer number of 960 is just one step away from the maximum, which is almost a significant lead.

"Did you cheat?" Huang Zhaoyue's doubts echoed in Xia Feng's mind.

"?" Xia Feng raised an eyebrow. "What are you saying, Your Highness? Just because you're not very bright doesn't mean I am. My current achievements are all due to my wisdom, wisdom! Understand?"

"Oh, you cheated."

"."

However, compared to Huang Zhaoyue, Ms. Mi and Zong Yue were even more shocked.

"Why isn't Spade dead?" Ms. Mi's question echoed in Zong Yue's mind. "Didn't you say Spade was definitely going to die?"

Zong Yue fell silent. At the time, Jin Yangtian was chasing Black Spade at too high a speed and ran too far, so he didn't keep up and therefore didn't see what exactly happened.

Even if they didn't follow, it was easy to guess that Spade would be instantly killed by Jin Yangtian.
Of course, judging from the current situation, it seems that only half of the guess was correct. It was indeed a swift kill, but Jin Yangtian was the one who was swiftly killed!
Not only did Spade survive, but it also killed Jin Yangtian and even managed to kill Yofile in the process.
I wonder where Juveder, who has been missing for so long, came from.
Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this person, Spade, actually managed to get the number of Embers to 960. What did he do?
Zong Yue frowned, lost in thought, and then whispered to Ms. Mi, "So what should we do now? Will this affect your plans?"

Ms. Mi gazed quietly into the depths of darkness and chuckled softly: "It's not a big deal, in fact, it's a good thing. That old Pope said the Spade was not simple, and I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."

As she spoke, she looked back at her Ember count on the panel, a strange smile curving her red lips: "In that case, this game should end sooner rather than later."
