Chapter nine hundred and seventy first encounter
When the middle-aged man saw Ling Chen taking out his mobile phone, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The purpose of Ling Chen using the white peacock was not to attack, but to use it as a cover to quickly run in front of the opponent.
At this time, the distance between the two parties had already shortened to less than five meters. The middle-aged man immediately planned to retreat, but he was still a step slower.
On the screen of Ling Chen's mobile phone, when he and the middle-aged man came within five meters, a line of words appeared:
"If a member of the green team is detected, do you want to apply for a duel?"
Ling Chen clicked on the screen without hesitation.
At this moment, Ling Chen and the middle-aged man's ears simultaneously heard a prompt that the duel application was approved, and they were asked to enter the points they chose to pay on their mobile phones.
"Are you crazy?!" The middle-aged man looked surprised and couldn't help shouting:
"Having a duel at the beginning will not do you or me any good, and we will fall behind others."
"Is this really the case?" Ling Chen disagreed and said calmly:
"I only know that if you start hunting from the beginning like me, you will probably get roughly the same number of points.
The ghoul just now is very likely to be a prey after our hunting areas overlap. In other words, after killing it, you will gain three points more than the opponent.
I am 70% sure that I have more points than you, the remaining 30% is a draw, and the probability of failure is infinitely close to zero.
Under such circumstances, not applying for a duel would be a real fool..."
The middle-aged man was shocked. He had never expected that Ling Chen could calculate to such an extent in an instant.
He swallowed his saliva and was about to enter points on his phone when he heard Ling Chen say again:
"Even if I can only barely win, I can still gain three seconds of attack time..."
After hearing these words, the middle-aged man's heart seemed to pause suddenly, and a drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
He couldn't help but recall the scene where Ling Chen used the white peacock to tear the corpse into pieces just now, that kind of terrifying power...
A few seconds is not enough to do anything for ordinary people, but if it is used for powerful trans-limiters, it will be a completely different situation.
Being restricted from fighting back, it is not surprising that if the losing side makes any mistakes in the duel, it is likely to be severely injured or even killed.
Ordinary spells cannot be used in this copy, and many emergency measures cannot be used. This is also something that must be taken into consideration.
Even if you are not killed, if you are injured, you have to rely on your body's recovery power to resist. If the injury is too serious, then the next action will be very disadvantageous.
When the middle-aged man is considering the above factors, the countdown has almost come to an end.
He gritted his teeth and input almost all his points, praying only to create a draw or to reduce the opponent's attack time as much as possible.
At the same time, the middle-aged man was also retreating, trying to create some distance first. In this way, even if the attack time started, Ling Chen would have to spend some effort to catch up.
To the middle-aged man's surprise, although Ling Chen was also running at this time, his speed was not very fast, and he did not seem to care about the distance between the two parties.
Soon, the countdown reached the last second, the phone screen flashed, and the result of the duel was announced immediately.
"The duel is over, the winner is a member of the green team, and you will get five seconds of attack time."
The middle-aged man looked surprised. The five-second attack time was longer than he thought, but...how did the members of the green team win?
Isn't that himself?
In such a moment of confusion, the middle-aged man has wasted a second, and the biggest problem is that he took the initiative to distance himself from Ling Chen because of his wrong judgment.
When he finally reacted, activated a ball of dark golden light to attach to his legs, and burst out to catch up to Ling Chen at extremely high speed, there were only the last two seconds left.
In addition, he had never thought that he could win the duel beforehand. The middle-aged man just retreated without any preparation for the attack.
Even if I charge up my power now, I'm afraid it will be too late to use those more lethal moves.
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to another wrong step. In the last two seconds remaining, the middle-aged man could only perform several normal attacks in succession.
But for Ling Chen, who had a domineering body, this was completely insignificant and he blocked it easily without being harmed at all.
At the moment when the attack time ended, prompts came to both men's ears at the same time, warning them not to continue attacking.
Ling Chen also received a reminder that he had failed the slave level once, and the middle-aged man was promoted one level.
However, despite being promoted to a level soon after the dungeon started, the middle-aged man was not happy at all at this time. On the contrary, the expression on his face was extremely ugly.
"Damn it, are you plotting against me!!?"
As an over-limit person, he naturally wouldn't be able to react to what's going on until now.
"Since the organizer has set a special duel mechanism, it is only natural that it will develop into a psychological war." Ling Chen said with a smile on his lips:
"How does it feel to win the duel? I think you have almost spent all your points, right? I'm looking forward to meeting you next time."
"...When the time comes, I will strive for more than ten seconds of attack time. You must hold on."
After saying that, Ling Chen turned around and retraced his steps, preparing to return to the blue team's base camp to unlock his phone from the locked state.
After the duel, no more hunting points can be obtained, and the contractor cannot attack others except during the attack time.
Therefore, the middle-aged man really had nothing to do about Ling Chen's departure at this time, and his face looked extremely gloomy.
He watched Ling Chen's figure disappear from his sight, and soon after, he also turned around and ran towards his camp.
Of course, he can also choose to follow Ling Chen and find out the opponent's position, but this is not a wise approach.
What he needs more now is to buy time and start hunting again as soon as possible. Otherwise, with his current points, even though he has been upgraded to a civilian, once he confronts someone again, he is almost destined to fail.
…………
The terrain in the forest is quite complex. Fortunately, after becoming a Transcendent, his memory has been significantly improved, and Ling Chen can still clearly remember the way back.
As he walked, he took out his cell phone and took a look. After a duel, he currently had twelve hunting points.
That's right, the duel points Ling Chen entered into his mobile phone were not many, just a few.
Except for the "slave" at the lowest level, all other levels will drop one level once they fail in the duel.
At this time, since he was already at the lowest level, Ling Chen's level remained unchanged, except for the addition of a failed duel at the slave level.
Slave is the only level that cannot be lowered. In terms of cost performance, the cost of failure in a duel is not as high as other levels. It is more suitable for testing intelligence.
In the previous duel, Ling Chen first deceived the middle-aged man into spending most of his points by looking like he was ready to go all out.
In addition, he also accomplished two other things.
