"I asked those who redeemed the rewards," Jin Sha said. "I actually know the effects of all five items."
"Star Power can be used to strengthen weapons and armor, indeed having growth attributes, but I don't know to what extent it can grow."
"The Demon-Breaking Red Rose is indeed only one, and it cannot be used. Many people regretted it after exchanging for it."
"The Floating Beast is a summoned beast, white quality, but it can evolve. Its quality should be able to be improved, and I also don't know to what extent it can be improved."
"The Body of Gems is also white quality. It requires collecting seven kinds of gems. When obtained, a ruby is included, which can increase stamina and has a ruby body defense effect."
"Overall, they are all pretty good," Jin Sha said. "However, I think the Steel Slime has the greatest potential and is the most versatile."
Bai Ye nodded and said, "The rewards from Death Football are mainly about opportunities."
Based on his past life's experience, Bai Ye was certain that he and Jin Sha had struck gold this time.
Five rewards, all of which were either growth-type or collection-type.
This meant that when the rewards were first obtained, they were not particularly impressive, but they possessed considerable potential, which was what Bai Ye referred to as giving opportunities.
The characteristic of such rewards was that they required time, and time was a precious commodity in the World Battlefield, because one might perish before the item could grow completely or be fully collected.
Among the five items, if he had to say...
Bai Ye felt that the Demon-Breaking Red Rose was the worst. It was of red quality, but the Body of Gems, which was also collection-type, required six more gems in addition to the one included. The other three rewards were growth-type, and the time required would theoretically be longer than for the Demon-Breaking Red Rose. The Demon-Breaking Red Rose only needed one more spear to be collected.
From this, it could be seen that since the Demon-Breaking Red Rose was already red quality, the others, even if not gold quality, would be among the top-tier red quality items.
Jin Sha said, "Currently, the most people have chosen the Body of Gems and the Floating Beast. The Body of Gems can be used immediately and has a defensive skill. Most people in the summoned beast area are beast masters, so naturally, they liked it. Secondly, the Floating Beast is a summoned beast, and it would definitely be liked by beast masters. Then, the number of people who chose Star Power and Steel Slime is similar. After the news spread that the Demon-Breaking Red Rose could not be used upon acquisition, no one exchanged for it anymore."
Bai Ye spread his hands. "There are always more fools in this world."
Jin Sha asked, "Are there any problems with this choice?"
Bai Ye did not explain. Normally, the World Battlefield was in its early to mid-game stage. Without considering potential, one would naturally choose the Demon-Breaking Red Rose, as it was the easiest to complete and thus represented the fastest way to increase strength. The idiom 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' was not understood.
Jin Sha said, "Then what do you plan to choose? Although I recommend the Steel Slime."
Bai Ye thought for a moment. "I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it later."
Jin Sha said, "Shall we start now? Or we can wait. There are still two days left. More contestants should arrive, and we can observe their competitions."
Bai Ye said, "No need. Aren't the rules easy to understand?"
Jin Sha nodded, indeed it was not difficult to understand.
As a result, Bai Ye's next sentence was: "Just defeat the opponents until they don't have enough people to compete."
Jin Sha: "..."
This was a football match!
However, she had chosen her helper, so what could she do?
Let's play!
"Register for the competition and help me register all the summoned beasts." Jin Sha walked to the counter, took out the summoned beast balls, and then said to Bai Ye, "Meloetta and Gengar should also participate. Your two summoned beasts are quite strong too."
Bai Ye nodded. "Okay!"
Bai Ye, Jin Sha, Gengar, Meloetta, Metagross, Aerodactyl, Scyther, Raichu, Milotic, Machamp, Gou She.
Two chosen ones plus nine summoned beasts participated. Jin Sha had some summoned beasts that Bai Ye had seen before, and some he hadn't.
What surprised Bai Ye was Gou She.
"This is a mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas," Bai Ye said. "You actually subdued this thing, impressive."
"Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Jin Sha shook her head. "Is it from your world? I'm not too sure, but Gou She is quite powerful. It's my fourth black quality summoned beast."
Bai Ye curled his lips. More than powerful, the Four Sacred Beasts, the Four Fiends, Zhu Rong, Tian Hu, Ying Long, Di Jiang. To be able to capture mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas as summoned beasts, that would be truly peerless.
Gou She was just a minor figure in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it was already black quality.
Jin Sha said, "Let's rest for a while. They didn't notify us to start the competition immediately, which means there were no teams waiting before us, so we need to wait for the next group."
Bai Ye nodded. "Alright."
Bai Ye and Jin Sha did not wait long. As Jin Sha had said, tickets for Death Football were quite difficult to obtain, but the news had spread, and everyone was trying to get them. Therefore, there were quite a few people who managed to get them. After about two hours, the two received a notification.
"The Death Football match is about to begin. We will be teleported in 30 seconds..."
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5..."
The 30-second countdown ended, and a white light enveloped Bai Ye and Jin Sha. After a moment, when the white light dissipated, Bai Ye and Jin Sha had already appeared in a giant football stadium.
Looking up at the opposite half, as Jin Sha had said, those who were involved in the summoned beast area all had summoned beasts. The four chosen ones and seven summoned beasts gathered together and whispered to each other after entering the field.
Jin Sha stood by Bai Ye's side and said, "They seem to be discussing tactics."
"It doesn't matter," Bai Ye spread his hands. "Those who were knocked down, they all had tactics before they were knocked down."
After speaking, Bai Ye glanced at the big screen. Each half was 15 minutes, unlike a real football match which is 90 minutes. It was understandable, as this was Death Football. If the duration was too long, it was truly possible that the field would be covered in brains, or everyone would be sent off.
Soon, Jin Sha stepped forward to play rock-paper-scissors with the opponent, and the opponent gained the chance to attack first.
The football was placed in position, and everything was normal so far, then...
With a whistle!
"Sawamala!" a beast master shouted, "Attack!"
A summoned beast ran forward and kicked the football with its leg. 138 Reading Network
The next instant...
Bai Ye's body trembled, and he directly got bug eyes. He looked at his lower body in disbelief, then shakily knelt on the ground.
"Sawamala used the move 'Testicle Break'..."
"Bai Ye did not dodge..."
"Bai Ye's body and mind suffered severe trauma..."
