Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"Oh my god! That's it?!"

Chen Xiyao's eyes widened, but fortunately, after a brief blackout, the screen returned to its initial position.

She didn't rush to choose a door, but instead quietly glanced at the comments section.

[Haha, the streamer looks exactly like me, I'm relieved.]

[Don't worry, streamer, this is just the beginning. You'll be driven to despair later.]

The first level is relatively easy compared to the second; you'll see what truly disgusting it is in the second level. Wendy is inhuman!

If it were the real me, I would have been eliminated long ago.

Chen Xiyao took a deep breath and chose the same door as before. This time, she didn't stop and rushed straight ahead.

The floorboards behind her were falling off one by one, which looked intimidating, but it was nothing to the character who was running.

After running across that road, a wider area appeared ahead, and the stone slabs placed around the area began to move. Travelers needed to pass through the middle of these stone slabs within a specified time.

After reading the instructions, Chen Xiyao controlled Ying to rush in.

The stone slabs move very quickly, and the path is constantly changing. If a traveler is not careful and takes the wrong turn, he will be surrounded and squeezed.

"oops!"

Chen Xiyao was forced out once again and returned to the front of the stone slab chamber.

"If we go the wrong way here, we can't escape. How are we supposed to get through?"

Chen Xiyao tried several times but failed to get across, and couldn't help but complain.

Looking at the comments, it said she should run slowly and wait for the stone slabs to move before choosing a path.

Chen Xiyao tried it with some skepticism, but to her surprise, it actually worked!

Damn it, I had to run faster before, and now I have to run slower!

……

In the arena.

The maze has two exits, one at the front and one on the side. The people who come out from the side are those who have failed and been eliminated. People have already come out in just a few minutes.

The people who came out were all dejected, putting their registration certificates into the large box prepared by the General Affairs Department.

The exit ahead is for participants who have successfully navigated the Mystic Rock Maze; no one has come out yet.

Soon, a contestant emerged from the exit ahead. This contestant was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and was a young man around twenty years old.

After emerging, the young man headed towards the second checkpoint.

Before long, people started coming out one after another. The first challenge wasn't difficult, and the number of people who passed was about 50/50 compared to those who failed.

Ying easily reached the second level.

Unlike the first challenge, the second challenge takes place at sea. People walk on driftwood on the sea, surrounded by strong winds, and there are wind fields in many places at the beginning and in the middle.

You can choose to walk on the sea, or you can choose to fly on the sea with the help of the wind.

This challenge was still a piece of cake for Ying, but it wasn't so friendly to the other contestants.

This round eliminated another 60% of the remaining contestants.

It didn't take long for Ying to reach the third level, which was located on an island in the Cloud Sea, covered in mist.

As Ying approached the mist, she saw the Thousand Rock Army charging towards her in formation. Ying charged up a powerful wind-type attack, sending the Thousand Rock Army flying. Ying chased after the tornado she had created and quickly passed the third level.

"Not bad, Traveler. I entered the third level earlier than you, but we came out at about the same time," Kaeya praised.

Ying revealed an innocent-looking smile.

"I'm planning to go check out the venue. What about you? Want to come with me?"

"Yes, Paimon is still waiting for me over there."

Due to the large number of participants, the official tournament will have to wait until tomorrow. However, it's never a bad thing to learn more about the participants, especially those that Wendy specifically mentioned.

Chapter 284 Official Match

Back on the viewing platform, Paimon was staring intently at the maze below, completely unaware of Ying's arrival.

"Wow--"

"Yeah~"

Paimon was startled by Ying, but the little guy quickly recovered: "Ying, you scared me! Hey? Ying, you're back. How did it go? Did you pass the test?"

Ying put her hands on her hips: "What do you think?"

"Hehe, I knew you were the best!"

Paimon exclaimed excitedly.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ying, look at that... wait, where did it go?"

Paimon opened his eyes wide and searched around, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a spot:

"That person is amazing."

Ying followed Paimon's little finger and looked over, quite surprised.

The walls inside the maze are very high. I thought I wouldn't be able to see anything, but I was surprised to find that I could see so clearly!

From this angle, many of the walls appear to be transparent, which is completely different from what you see inside the maze.

"That's... a hunter from Nata?"

"Yes, she went in last and rushed to the front immediately!"

Paimon was excited, as if she were the one leading the charge.

"Traveler, look! Look over there! He fell while he was still thinking! Haha, more than twenty people have failed for this reason already!"

Paimon laughed heartily. Indeed, although it's immoral, building happiness on the suffering of others is truly amusing!

Ying smiled at Paimon and looked at the maze with her.

……

On another section of the stands.

Kui cheered excitedly for her sister, but after cheering several times, she realized that everyone was staring at her.

She awkwardly withdrew her hand, wondering if it was because different countries had different traditions.

Just as she was lost in thought, cheers erupted from the stands, many times louder than her previous shout.

Aoi looked at everyone, and many people on the viewing platform gestured for her to join them.

Aoi joined in with a smile.

"Go for it, sister!"

Next to Aoi, Charlotte seized the opportunity and snapped several photos of Aoi cheering.

……

In the arena.

"is her?"

Qingxu looked at Fidele not far away, and was surprised.

What a coincidence that we ran into each other again.

Fidele noticed someone was watching her, so she turned around and gave Qingxu a polite smile.

Qingxu followed Fidele immediately after she rushed into the maze. Her intention was clear: she wanted to compete with her.

Fidele noticed the little guy rushing in right after her, and a faint smile appeared on her lips as she quickened her pace.

As soon as Qingxu came out of the first exit, she looked around. After not finding any trace of Fidele, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also disappointed.

But just as she was about to enter the second stage, she saw Fidele, who was leading the way.

"this…"

Sure enough, she wasn't mistaken.

Qingxu immediately set off, clearly having already regarded Fidele as her opponent; however, she had obviously chosen the wrong opponent.

……

The preliminary rounds came one after another, and these contestants all considered themselves to be quite capable, otherwise they wouldn't have signed up to participate in this grand event.

Seeing their bizarre and unusual ways of failing was a rare treat for the audience in the stands, and everyone was incredibly excited!

After having lunch at Chengehu, Ying and Paimeng came back to continue watching.

The people Wendy mentioned were indeed extraordinary, especially Fontaine and Nata. The former was incredibly fast, and the latter didn't even bother with an act; he flew through the second level riding directly on his gun…

In the afternoon, Amber, Bennett, Fischl, and Razor arrived in Liyue.

Ying and Paimon were on the viewing platform closest to the entrance of the venue, which Amber and the others noticed as soon as they came up.

"Traveler, Paimon, so you've been here all along!"

Paimon was delighted: "Amber, Fischl, Bennett, Rizer, what brings you all here?"

Fischl gracefully placed her left hand on her chest:

"The true purpose of this journey is not to indulge in the clamor of the world! Rather, it is to respond to the call of destiny, and with our [Blessing Thunder] and [Eternal Night Poem], to bestow upon the supreme [Protection of Judgment] upon the [Great Pirates of the Sea] who traverse the path of shadows, and the [Winter Thorns] who weave the dance of the end with frost!"

Ying and Paimon looked at Oz in tacit agreement.

Oz: "Miss means that we've come here to cheer on Mr. Kaya and Ms. Rosalia."

Amber: "Traveler, I heard you also participated in this ceremony?"

Ying nodded. Her goal was to win the championship, but this time it might not be so easy.

"Then you'd better be careful, Captain Kaiya is no pushover."

"Amber, whatever you do, don't let Kaeya hear that, or else..."

As Ying was speaking, Kaiya's voice came over: "Otherwise what? Traveler, you can't talk to me like that. I never hold grudges."

Paimon: "Kaiya! When did you get here?"

"I arrived before Amber and the others did."

Kaeya turned around and smiled at Amber and the other three: "Thank you for coming to cheer us on. Don't worry, we will never let Mondstadt down. Uh, are you injured?"

Fischer had scrapes on his hands, Razer's face, and Bennett's knees, and Amber's face was also covered in grime.

Bennett was a little embarrassed:

"Um, we encountered several flower-scamming swindlers on our way here..."

Kaia: "..."

The Scam Flower monster is not as common as in the game; it's practically impossible to encounter one.

For an average person, finding even one would be like winning the lottery, and you guys actually found several...

Amber was the temporary leader of the four-person squad. This opportunity was very rare, and although they had gone through some hardships, all four of them were very happy.

Fischl and his friends ran to the front of the viewing platform and looked at the contestants below who were navigating the maze. They found it all very novel.

"Amber, wait for me and Rosalia on the way back. We'll go back together."

"Yes, Captain Kaeya."

……

The world of players.

The second challenge here is to use the wind to fly to the designated location. Chen Xiyao tried more than ten times before she passed the challenge, which exhausted her.

In comparison, the third level is actually the easiest; all you have to do is keep fighting!

After the entire qualifiers ended, Chen Xiyao looked like she had stayed up all night working on it.

Fortunately, the rewards are plentiful; the three preliminary rounds reward a total of three Entangled Bonds.
