The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Someone actually withdrew?

Everyone was shocked, and soon someone said, "They forfeited so quickly, it must be those lazybones from Africa!"

The Korean man wiped his sweat, stopped hitting his pickaxe, and, panting heavily, asked loudly, "After returning to the starting point, can I participate in other levels?"

Except for Ruan Mianmian, everyone who was mining to the point of no return stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to wait for a reply.

While they mocked those from some countries who abstained, they too were exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

The pleasant voice did not answer.

After about ten seconds, the voice prompts for whether to forfeit and the level notifications rang in my ears again.

Knowing they would not get an answer, the group had no choice but to bury themselves in mining again.

However, the mine was already dark and stuffy, and the continuous mining made the exhaustion and pain unbearable.

Countless people want to give up, but they can't bear to, so they can't help but talk to distract themselves.

As they talked, they began to analyze the level.

"This is a perseverance challenge, which means there are other challenges as well. Will those who returned to the starting point start other challenges?"

"Not necessarily. It hasn't been explicitly stated which level it is; maybe it's just a test of perseverance?"

"Are you stupid? It was stated from the beginning that the winner is the one who passes the most levels, which means there is more than one level. It didn't specify which level it is, so maybe the levels are all equal."

"So what if they're parallel? We still have to get through as many hurdles as possible."

Most people agreed with this viewpoint, and suddenly everything went black. They lost the will to speak and began panting heavily as they worked hard to mine.

Ruan Mianmian was a fool; she didn't participate in any discussions or analysis, and just kept her head down mining.

After striking the pickaxe for an unknown amount of time, Ruan Mianmian lost her balance and collapsed to the ground, continuing to mechanically swing the pickaxe to dig.

Time passed second by second, and a layer of white frost formed on Ruan Mianmian's hair and clothes. She felt that her hands were no longer her own, but she still gritted her teeth and mechanically swung the pickaxe.

She can't stop, and she can't fail. If she fails, she'll be pinched, or sometimes she'll even be kicked in the stomach and sent flying.

She will definitely behave.

Most importantly, persevere and be a person of perseverance, and you will be rewarded!

The others were just as disheveled as Ruan Mianmian.

"Huffing and puffing... I can't take it anymore! If this keeps up, I'll die, I'm definitely going to die. Even participating in the Olympics doesn't have to be this exhausting. I can't do it, I'm going to forfeit!"

The person disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.

Once the door to abstaining was opened, a second one quickly appeared: "To hell with this battle for national destiny! I'm just an ordinary person. What does national destiny have to do with me? I'm not fighting for myself! I'm abstaining too!"

After the second person disappeared, the mine suddenly became much less crowded.

Ruan Mianmian didn't stop; she gritted her teeth and tapped away blankly.

The clanging and banging sounds echoed in the mine, forming a melody that represented exhaustion and pain.

As the knocking continued, someone broke down: "My God, it's only 11:30! When will this end? What about our lunch? What about our water?"

Still no response.

Lunch and water were not provided.

Two more hours passed, and everyone was seeing stars, too tired to even swing their pickaxes.

No food, no water, no rest, and no idea when this level will end...

Almost everyone was devastated.

With no food, no water, and only endless mines to be mined, is this still a life for humans?

Someone threw down their pickaxe and started cursing: "To hell with the competition! Someone's definitely trying to sabotage me, bastards... I'm not a fool! I'm forfeiting! I'm forfeiting!"

After he finished speaking, he vanished instantly, and with his disappearance, many more people were gone from the mine.

The once-confident American man cursed repeatedly: "I'm sure this is some kind of dimensional killing array, or the Truman Show. If I find out which bastard is playing tricks on me, I'll never let him get away with it, you bastard, you piece of shit!" Although he was cursing, his hands didn't stop moving.

The man from Chrysanthemum Country, who had been keeping his head down in thought and not saying much, suddenly had a flash in his eyes and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily: "I can't move an inch, and I don't know when this checkpoint will end... This hopelessness makes it impossible for me to muster the courage to work anymore. Gentlemen, I've decided to abstain."

Both the Kimchi Kingdom and the Annam Kingdom seemed thoughtful upon seeing the disappearance of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom's men.

The American man stared at the spot where the Chrysanthemum man had disappeared, his hands stopped moving, and his mind quickly reviewed the rules.

Those rules, some say to return to the starting point, some say to eliminate. Does that mean that returning to the starting point and elimination are not the same thing?

The levels are not ranked, so they are very likely to be level-by-level.

In other words, if this level is difficult, you can clear other levels first. The person who clears the most levels will be the winner.

However, these are all speculations.

The American man's hands began to move again.

He didn't dare to gamble.

If his prediction is wrong, he will be utterly defeated.

As he continued chiseling, the man from America started thinking of the man from Chrysanthemum Country.

He didn't notice the dejection and despair of the men from Chrysanthemum Country, yet the men from Chrysanthemum Country said they were abstaining.

Knowing that the people of Chrysanthemum Country were always cunning and treacherous, the man from America, reflecting on his own assumptions, finally gritted his teeth and silently declared his intention to abstain.

If you give up on the perseverance challenge, you can definitely go back to the starting point and participate in other challenges. The man from Chrysanthemum Kingdom must have realized this, which is why he gave up!

People from Korea, Vietnam, and some European countries had already made some guesses, and they had always respected America. When they saw the American man run away, they exchanged a few glances and then simply gave up.

They knew very well that the man from America had not truly given up; he was probably planning to return to the starting point and try other levels.

And they absolutely cannot fall too far behind.

All of this was irrelevant to Ruan Mianmian. She was sweating profusely, seeing stars, and mechanically wielding the pickaxe with her weak hands, relying entirely on her willpower to keep going.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but Ruan Mianmian was so exhausted that she could no longer sit up and could only lean against the wall. All that remained of her body was the action of swinging the pickaxe with her hands, and her consciousness had already drifted away.

Just then, a melodious voice suddenly rang in her ears—

"Dear Ruan Mianmian, the lucky winner from Dongdaguo, you are the only winner of this game, given that the other 194 contestants have either forfeited or been eliminated."

"Congratulations, player Ruan Mianmian! You have received the Perseverance Level reward. The reward has been sent to your inventory. Please check it."

"Congratulations, player Ruan Mianmian! You have won the supreme reward for the sole winner of the battle! The reward has been sent to your inventory, please check it."

"Bug detected, player Ruan Mianmian's intelligence is insufficient... Under repair... Bug fixed, intelligence has now returned to normal."

"This competition adhered to the principle of confidentiality, and the memories of those who withdrew and were eliminated have been erased."
