On the 14th, Rita opened the Honor Store and ordered a World Graveyard. No matter what tile it was, it would enhance her strength once she entered the World Battlefield. She spent 20,000 honor points, and soon enough, her honor points increased by another 10,000.
She currently had 42,051 honor points.
As her honor points fluctuated, a World Graveyard materialized in front of her—Green Dragon!
The text on it was written in the Cuman script.
[World Graveyard·Green Dragon]: Can be carried into the World Battlefield to unlock a weapon or equipment.
No hesitation; this time, she could bring along Dusk and Night!
She had already decided how to use Legendary Prologue and War Horn.
Legendary Prologue would unlock two divine talents: the top-tier counterattack skill Absurd Story and the attack skill Midnight Exile.
War Horn would unlock three skills: Soul Resistance (Passive), Dandelion Wind, and The First Step of Making Cotton Candy—a defensive skill, an escape skill, and a healing skill. These would save a lot of Essence.
As for the East Wind tile, she chose Absolute Clarity (Passive).
As midnight on the 15th approached, she took out eight World Graveyard tiles and combined them to form World's Grave Forest·Charge, a two-star key with the skills Legendary Prologue and War Horn. She selected to use it.
Just like last time, a small grid appeared in front of her, displaying a small line of text: Ticket (0/1).
Rita inserted the red plane from the Buried Spring Civilization into the grid.
The grid closed, and a mystical voice echoed in her mind.
——[Welcome BS Star player Rita to the World Battlefield]
——[You will participate in the 23160th Divine Game]
——[Detected World Graveyard·Red Dragon, you will have a 1-minute early entry into the main battlefield]
——[Detected World Graveyard·Green Dragon, you can unlock a weapon or equipment]
——[Detected World Graveyard·East Wind, you and your pet can each unlock one skill]
——[Detected your World Battlefield entry ticket is a two-star key: World's Grave Forest·Charge, with the skills Legendary Prologue and War Horn. Please select two divine talents and three combat skills for you and your pet.]
Rita quickly selected the skills she wanted according to her plan, and Nivalis also made her selections.
Rita's chosen divine talents were Expert Mode and Master Thief Dragon.
As for skills, Rita suggested that Nivalis pick a control skill, an escape skill, and a shape-shifting skill.
However, Nivalis was keen to try the newly acquired I Just Want to Improve So Badly, a skill similar to Rita's Cotton Candy Making. Though both came from divine talents, they were listed as separate skills.
Rita went along with her decision. After all, they had Essence, and picking skills was just to save it.
Once the selections were made, the two of them—one person and one dragon—landed back in the small room. This time, the other players on both sides were different from last time.
What was even more different was her battle power.
Her main attributes hadn't dramatically changed. Although she had diligently visited Lania Kaia every day for the past two months, the chance of stealing attribute points was only 15%. Her strength, constitution, and intelligence were around 210, with agility breaking 1800.
However, her battle power had shot up from the 3rd-tier fool level straight to the 6th-tier pro level! Her ranking immediately jumped to 62,166.
This was most likely due to her stealing three SSS-tier skills from Frenzied Shark, though she wasn't sure if this rating would change depending on how many skills and items she carried into each World Battlefield.
When she checked the ladder rankings, she saw that Frenzied Shark had dropped to 2,332nd place... His battle power had fallen from the 19th-tier to the 17th-tier.
Even worse, the 2,333rd ranked player was a 16th-tier demon king named Withered Cover. This meant that Frenzied Shark had become the lowest-ranked player in the 17th-tier, just one step away from the 16th-tier.
This was not good news. Rita would rather suppress her level and play the underdog than be classified as high-level battle power when her attributes couldn't keep up.
She also suspected that the difficulty of the game might increase a level.
As the countdown to the game began, the moment the game information appeared in the center of the room, her worries turned into reality.
[23160th Divine Game·Kart Racing]
[Game Start Countdown: 00:09:57]
[Game Content]: Kart Racing 12-Hour Endurance Race
(The distance traveled determines your rank. You can check your current rank anytime on the ladder.)
[Game Difficulty]: Pro Level
Game Rule 2:????? ??? ????? ??? ???? ??????
Game Rule 7:Συγγν?μη, πο? ε?ναι η τουαλ?τα
Game Rule 8: Each pit stop at a gas station must not exceed 30 minutes
Game Rule 18: No. 36 gasoline is prohibited
The game difficulty level and ladder battle power levels, along with the Gladiator Arena chest rankings, followed the same system.
This meant that Pro Level was just one level above Fool level, but the number of game rules had skyrocketed from 3 to 18!
And Rita could only understand two of them.
But those two rules had much more information than the previous round's "No Red" rule.
The pit stop was easy to guess—it was probably a safe zone and battlefield similar to an oasis. However, her stop time was limited to no more than 30 minutes.
The prohibition on No. 36 gasoline likely meant that when she entered the safe zone, not only would she have to play the game to break the rules, but she'd also need to refuel her kart. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to run.
She also wondered whether the kart could attack each other, whether the kart's defense was related to the player's battle power, and if they could steal gasoline from each other. One question after another filled her mind.
But where was her kart? Would she have to get it after entering the battlefield? Would she be able to choose her kart early since she could enter the battlefield a minute ahead?
As she pondered, Rita suddenly felt like something was missing...
She turned her head, puzzled, and looked at Nivalis, who had immediately shrunk to a 10-centimeter mini-size after entering the small room and was now standing on her shoulder, staring into the void.
Rita curiously asked, "What's wrong? You haven't said a word since we came in?"
"I can see the ladder rankings now that I've logged into BS," Nivalis' expression was strange, a mix of anger, hatred, and satisfaction. "Quick, look at the battlefield chat channel."
Rita vaguely guessed what was going on. She immediately opened the chat channel.
The moment BS-Rita entered the chat, she saw Winter SeaFrenzied Shark throwing a fit.
