The City Lord of Zhongshan City surprisingly provides gemstones for free to enter the Trial Ground. After the trial ends, any rewards obtained by the Trial Taker, such as Demon Cores, belong entirely to the Trial Taker, without any fees to be submitted.
No wonder so many Trial Takers flock here. The trial projects and rules of the Trial Ground are already quite clear, and soone is providing gemstones. Anyone keen on becoming a Trial Taker would hardly miss such an opportunity.
"What exactly is the intention of this City Lord of Zhongshan City? Is he so kind of wealthy altruist with no other place to spend money and a questionable brain?" Li Xiu pondered incredulously after hearing about the situation.
Yet the facts lay right in front of them. The Trial Gate of Zhongshan City opens for free every three days, and quite a few people have already claid rewards from it.
One person saying they got a reward could be deceitful; ten people might still be deceiving. But for several months, there have been hundreds who have taken rewards from the Trial Gate of Zhongshan City. To say it’s a scam is indeed a difficult claim.
"Are those selected people secretly arranged by the City Lord of Zhongshan City?" Sha Chu pondered aloud.
"Why not just go visit the City Lord’s Mansion to find out," Li Xiu replied with a chuckle.
After all, they planned to visit the City Lord’s Mansion. It’s most likely that the person who took Xin Guan’s Demon Armor is the City Lord of Zhongshan City, so they have to find out what kind of person he is.
Today happened to be the day for selecting Trial Takers, so Li Xiu and his group headed to the City Lord’s Mansion, where the selection was taking place.
In front of the City Lord’s Mansion, the square was crowded with people queuing up to register for the Trial Taker selection.
Li Xiu watched for a while and found the selection rules to be quite fair.
The City Lord of Zhongshan City set up three test projects to examine speed, strength, and reaction ability.
The top ten in overall physical fitness will be arranged to enter the Trial Ground tomorrow.
Unfortunately, they did not see the City Lord of Zhongshan City himself; there were designated people responsible for selecting Trial Takers.
"It seems my Demon Armor has fallen into the hands of soone who understands its worth," Xin Guan mused for a mont and then snorted coldly.
"Do you an the City Lord of Zhongshan is recruiting so many people to the Trial Ground because of your Demon Armor?" Though Li Xiu understood Xin Guan’s implication, he couldn’t fathom the connection between the Demon Armor and the Trial Ground.
Xin Guan curled his lip and said, "The Demon Armor I researched is not ordinary. Although it’s missing so components, unable to be used currently, anyone knowledgeable would instantly see its value, and would go to any lengths to complete it. But to complete the final components, so special Demon Cores are needed. The City Lord of Zhongshan stirred up so much to get the special S-Class Demon Core from this Trial Ground."
"You knew about the Trial Gate here all along?" Li Xiu asked.
"Why do you think I chose to set up my lab here?" Xin Guan sneered. "Since I know where the Demon Armor is, I’m relieved; I’ll find a way to retrieve it later."
After a pause, Xin Guan said to Li Xiu, "I clearly understand what the City Lord of Zhongshan wants. He’s simply recruiting people into the Trial Ground to expedite the occurrence of the S-Class trial. It seems he’s invested quite an effort into this Trial Ground, devising such sches. If you want so strengthening and rewards, it’s worth visiting the ground multiple tis while you have the chance. If soone is offering free body enhancents, why not take advantage? And if you do et the City Lord of Zhongshan, help discern what kind of person he is."
Xin Guan shared so detailed information about the Trial Ground with Li Xiu, much more detailed than what the City Lord of Zhongshan revealed.
The Trial Ground of Zhongshan City is nad Hero Trial Ground. The trial, while seemingly simple, can also be quite challenging.
The Hero Trial Ground has only one trial project—the Dark Maze, which requires one to traverse a completely dark labyrinth.
The maze itself isn’t too difficult; each room has four doors, and many such rooms connect together. Finding the exit within the given ti allows one to pass the trial.
The higher the level of the Dark Maze, the more rooms there are, and the shorter the ti allowed.
However, for Dark Mazes below A-Class, if you are careful enough and can rember all the paths you’ve taken, even trying each door one by one will give you enough ti to pass the maze.
The main challenge lies in the lack of visual capability inside and relying solely on mory for direction, which easily leads to losing one’s sense of direction and retracing the sa paths repeatedly, making it hard to exit.
The City Lord of Zhongshan made these rules clear: unless facing an A-Class Dark Maze trial, the chances of getting out alive are high.
However, he failed to ntion one thing: the more people who pass the Dark Maze, the higher the chance of a high-level Dark Maze appearing next ti it opens.
Of course, more deaths inside also increase the likelihood of higher-level Dark Mazes appearing.
The more people initially pass the Dark Maze easily, the more will be tempted to take advantage.
The City Lord of Zhongshan made it clear as well: encountering an A-Class Dark Maze increases the chance of death significantly. It’s their own choice, so even if they die inside, they cannot bla the City Lord.
