Gamers Are Fierce

[The Battle for the Portal Doors in the second phase of the Killing Field Game has now ended]

[Betting rewards will be distributed as usual]

[Overall performance ratings for the Battle for the Portal Doors have been completed, rewards will be distributed to each participant's backpack]

[The third phase of the Killing Field Game will begin in seven days, with updates including but not limited to personal combat power rankings, equipment quality limits, and team modes. Players can view the details in the "About Killing Field Game and Help" section of their personal panel]

[The final interpretation of the above content belongs to the Killing Field Game]

This is the system message that Li Ang and other players on Earth received.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Unable to hear the system broadcast, Chaichai hurriedly asked.

Li Ang did not answer but quickly browsed the player forum,

then rubbed his palms together and told Chaichai the notification content, whispering: "Hmm... It's about what I expected, the system didn't expose the names of the award-winning players, including the top fifty and top twenty."

"That's good news."

Chaichai's eyes lit up, "That's normal, after all, the rewards for the top fifty and top twenty are too astounding,

if the player's ID or nickname were disclosed, these people would likely become targets, captured or recruited by large forces.

It's not consistent with the past style of the Killing Field Game."

"Right."

Li Ang nodded, "How did my previous disguise work out?"

"The time you exited as Li Rising?"

Chaichai pulled out the recorded footage from various live streams showing "Li Rising" surrendering and retiring, "The System Detector didn't capture the subsequent footage,

the teleportation effect of the [Abyssal Magic Mirror] had no visual or sound special effects, and you never exposed the [Mirror World Travel] skill to others, so they probably think you were hit by the Desolated Lion's demon flame and died on the spot or surrendered."

Chaichai scratched her head a bit self-consciously, "At first, I didn't think of this either, but after noticing you didn't return or contact me, I guessed you used the Abyssal Magic Mirror..."

Li Ang grinned, carefully observed the video footage to confirm there were no flaws, and then opened his personal panel.

In front of him were several friend messages, from Xing Hechou, Liu Wu Dai, Wanli Fengdao, Black Trojan, Mule, and others.

Li Ang thought for a moment, replied briefly, saying he was still alive and had been treating injuries just now, then logged off quickly—everyone must be busy right now.

Li Ang clicked on his backpack, and the system prompt sounded in his ear.

[Congratulations, you have won second place in this Portal Door Battle. You have received a choice of one epic quality equipment or item, 30,000 Game Coins, two one-time exit vouchers, and a B Rank portal door, all sent to your backpack, please accept.]

Second place?

Li Ang raised an eyebrow, considering the normal match, he released the Bug Nest, defeated the mech beast and security guards, expanded largely, capturing players from both sides,

then collaborated with others to defeat the demon general Qingqiu, transformed into the Bug Nest Tyrant, manipulated the Mutated Starfish's tentacles, breaking the Desolated Lion's Divine Power barrier, forcing the latter to go all out, reverse the ritual track, awakening the Mutated Starfish.

Throughout the match, he did quite a lot,

the only one likely to have a higher score than himself could only be Michael?

After everyone left, she still had strength to slash the spine of the Mutated Starfish with a sword...

Li Ang had a rather clear understanding of his current strength,

after the Mutated Starfish's body woke up, he gave up on finding or snatching the Giant Stele of Otherworldly Stars recorded in "When the Stars Return"—

the stellar rainbow light spewing from the Mutated Starfish's mouth was like a moving giant mental pollution source, the closer one got, the more likely they would lose their sanity, turning into zombies.

The [Anti-Dragon Madness Helmet] Li Ang wore couldn't likely resist this effect, let alone the Bug Nest units with limited Spiritual Energy.

From this, it seemed that Michael might be even stronger than everyone anticipated... It's uncertain whether she used an extremely risky trump card fully,

or acted all the way, suddenly exploding in the last phase.

Besides Michael, who might have exceeded in performance, perhaps only Su Ni Sheng— she first destroyed the stasis field with a punch, freeing Michael and others,

then extracted the neural circuits from the Mutated Starfish's body disks,

most crucially, she hadn't appeared much on screen for a long time, her whereabouts uncertain, no one knew what else she did.

The same goes for the Cold Waterstone— when Li Ang previously sent Bug Nest units to invade the Mutated Starfish's neural circuits, he vaguely sensed that the Starfish's body disks seemed poisoned, slowed down, lacking instinctual resistance to external invasions.

It could be the work of Cold Waterstone or Su Ni Sheng.

Li Ang pondered for a moment, couldn't figure it out, and stopped thinking about it.

"First, I need to understand what the portal door is and its value..."

Li Ang mused to himself: "If the portal door's value is high enough, causing major organizations to distrust each other and not exchange information, maybe they couldn't verify the specific ownership of the portal door rewards,

thereby diverting their suspicions..."

The champion of the Portal Door Battle received a piece of epic quality equipment or item, 50,000 Game Coins, three exit vouchers, and an A Rank portal door,

the runner-up and third-place rewards decreased respectively, being B Rank and C Rank portal doors,

from the 4th to 20th place, all were rewarded with D Rank portal doors.

In other words, deducing a missing portal door through exchanged information wouldn't be easy.

At the very least, it would buy Li Ang enough development time.

With this in mind, Li Ang looked at his backpack, where amongst all known equipment and items, lay quietly a... vortex?

The vortex was generally circular, pale blue, with no border, rotating slowly around the center, dotted with star-like dazzling points of light.

Li Ang frowned slightly, clicked on the vortex, and the words [B Rank portal door, available in seven days] appeared in his view, but no detailed description of the equipment or item appeared.

"Opens at the same time as the third phase... Alright then."

Li Ang clicked his tongue and continued to look at the subsequent rewards.

He had gained 30,000 Game Coins— which, for one owning the Immaculate Furnace Shop, was just a cherry on top, at least allowing him to buy some good equipment.

Two one-time exit vouchers—the vouchers were overall gold, printed with lavish and dazzling patterns, described as [Allowing you to exit a mission anytime, without receiving mission failure penalties, or mission success rewards]

It's not limited to script missions... thus, the vouchers' value is beyond expectations.

Finally, there's an epic quality equipment or item of a selectable type.

Li Ang focused his mind on the antique treasure chest at the end of the item bar, and the system prompt text appeared to let him select the type of equipment or item.
