Chapter 1744  World Congress - It's a Game After All (7)

It did not take one hour for the voting results to come out. Earth unanimously declined all challenges.

[You have declined the challenge from the four worlds! Earth is now under protection for six months.]

[You can't keep rejecting the challenge, use the six months of protection to prepare yourself for future challenges!]

[Now for the last additional content for the last phase of the game, Special Event!]

[What is a Special Event? Special Event is a random event that allows all factions from all over the world to join. There's no requirement to join, whether you are a small faction or a big faction. Everyone can join!]

[It's a random event because it can be anything, such as a tournament, a duel, the dungeon time attack, monster hunter, and many more.]

[What's the benefit of participating in the Special Event? The winner will get a special reward. It can be a rare facility, the bulk of Treasure Chests, or even God Rank Artifact. Make sure not to miss the Special Event! The event was created for players from the new world to catch up with the old world!]

[What's the time for a Special Event? It can be anytime. It can be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even a week later. There will be a minimum of three Special Events in a year. There can be four or even five Special Events. It's special for a reason, so wait for it.]

This time the announcement was received well by the others. This could be a chance for the small and medium factions to catch up with the big factions. Or it could make the big faction bigger and stronger. The event was a double-edged sword.

[The last update for the last phase, Leaderboards! There would be three leaderboards: Faction, Absolute Ranking, and Players.]

[Faction Leaderboard is the rank for factions. The leaderboard will be decided based on the faction's member ranks (The number of the God Rank, the Demi-God Rank until the Epic Rank!), the number of enemies killed (Void Creature, Calamity, Monster, Zombie, Beast, even Player), the number of dungeons cleared (The dungeon rank is used as consideration to determine the leaderboard!), and number of the territories!]

[The leaderboard is not just a matter of pride. The top three factions on Earth will receive rewards. It could be Artifact, Bulk of Treasure Chests, System Facilities, and more! Work harder to raise your rank to receive the reward! The leaderboard will be re-calibrated yearly, and the reward is also given yearly.]

[Absolute Ranking is an individual player ranking. The ranking is decided by Player Rank, Player Level, the number of enemies killed (Void Creature, Calamity, Monster, Zombie, Beast, even Player), the number of dungeons cleared, and the number of games cleared.]

[The leaderboard is not just a matter of pride. The top three players on Earth will receive rewards. It could be an Artifact, a High-Ranking Treasure Chest, a Bloodline (There's a chance for you to receive Primal Bloodline), a Rare Class, and more! Work harder to raise your rank to receive the reward! The leaderboard will be re-calibrated yearly, and the reward is also given yearly.]

[Player Leaderboards is similar to Absolute Ranking, an individual player ranking. However, instead of considering your achievement to determine the ranking. You will have to fight to climb up in the Player Leaderboards to raise your Matchmaking Rating (MMR)!]

[There are seven Player Leaderboards which are divided by ranks. God Rank Leaderboards, Demi-God Rank Leaderboards, Legend Rank Leaderboards, and so on until Epic Rank Leaderboards. The rank leaderboard influences the reward, you will get a better reward if you play in the higher-rank leaderboard.]

[Who will you fight to raise your rank? There's a matchmaking system implemented for Player Leaderboard where you will face a random opponent, but similar in rank and level, and the MMR will be used for consideration to find an opponent as well.]

[How will you fight? You will be teleported to another dimension to fight, and it's called Virtual Fight. Even though you die in the fight, you will be resurrected. However, the pain you received in the battle is real.]

[Can you die in matchmaking? The answer is yes if both parties agree to a battle of Life and Death. If a player loses ten matchmaking in a row, that player will be banned from matchmaking for 24 hours! If a player loses another ten matchmaking in a row for the second time, you will be banned from matchmaking for one week! If a player loses another ten matchmaking in a row for the third time, you will be banned from matchmaking for one month. For the fourth time, you will be banned until the end of the season.]

[In normal matchmaking, you will gain 20 MMR for winning, and you will lose 20 MMR for losing. In a battle of Life and Death, you will get all your opponent's MMR. Big reward, big risk, but be careful, the battle of Life and Death can't be stopped unless one of the players dies.] Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[The top three in the Player Leaderboards will receive a bountiful reward: a treasure chest that matches your rank, rare bloodline, rare class, rare talent, and more! The first place gets three rewards, the second place gets two rewards, and the third place gets a treasure chest that matches the leaderboard's rank!]

[The Player Leaderboard will be reset each season (one season is eight months). You have to fight again from 0 MMR after the season reset!]

[We don't like cheaters! If a player tries to cheat (rank boosting, win trading, or any form of cheating), the said player will be punished severely. Depending on the severity level of cheating, you might be blacklisted from Player Leaderboard for one to three seasons or even you might be executed on the spot!]

[The rules and rewards are not fixed. It might be changed for each season or even in the middle of the season! You can check the rules after the World Congress in the Player Leaderboard menu!]

[We will show Faction Leaderboards and Absolute Ranking in twenty minutes! Or you don't have to wait here because you can check the leaderboards by saying Leaderboards later.] The last feature for the last phase of the game made everyone realize that they were in the Game. Even though they fought for their survival, it was still a game from the System's perspective. It was clear that the System expected rivalry and clash from the players, hence the System introduced such a feature.

The Territory War, Dungeon, Mini-Games, and even Earth Tournament were not enough. The System introduced a feature where they had to fight with rewards as the temptation.

Even though the System specifically mentioned that they could check the leaderboards anytime after twenty minutes. All factions remained in their seats, waiting for the System to reveal it here. The feeling would be different, so everyone waited here.

Twenty minutes passed, and the long text about Leaderboards disappeared from the main screen and showed the Faction Leaderboards. Everyone had guessed who got the first place, but everyone wanted to know who was the second strongest after the Tang Empire.

————————————

[Faction Leaderboards]

1. Tang Empire - Level 10

2. North Federation - Level 2

3. United Sovereign - Level 2

4. The Whitney Kingdom - Level 2

5. The Mecaya Kingdom - Level 1

6. Olympus - Level 1

7. The Pantheon - Level 1

8. Duchy of Michalina - Level 1

9. Kingdom of Napoles - Level 1

10. The Africa Nation - Level 1

Note: The level is to determine the faction's score in the leaderboard. Level 10 is used for the first-place faction! ————————————

No one understood what the level meant in the next faction name. It was not until they read the note below the rank.

Everyone expected that the Tang Empire would be in first place in the Faction Leaderboards. It was to be expected. Even though no one admitted it openly, deep inside they thought the same.

What people did not expect was the gap between the first place and the second place. Based on the level, the faction in second place was not even a third of the Tang Empire.

Many were bitter about the result of the Earth Tournament, knowing that they were still far from the Tang Empire. But when they found the rank, that put them into shock. Based on the rank, it could be said that The Tang Empire was invincible.

They doubted that they could defeat the Tang Empire even if all small, medium, and big factions came together to fight the Tang Empire.
