The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 776 A BLOOMING ROSE

　　INSIDE the huge hall of team Yunyue's palace, the five members were seated at the round table, talking about various things about their team. Specifically, they were talking about their future activities. Since they had already decided to participate in the seventh season of Arcadia Cup next year. 

　　The Cup was divided into two parts that would go on throughout the first six months of the year. The first part was like a playoffs of some sorts. Teams that registered for the cup would be divided into seven brackets. Of course, not any team could just go off and register. If that was the case, hundreds of teams would simply join the cup. 

　　After the second season, when the Cup really exploded in popularity, Moonlight Media had to set up a list of requirements for teams who wanted to register. First, a team needed to pay a registration fee of 20,000 crystal coins which was 2000 RMB in real life money. Second, they had to be at least a year old. Meaning a team that was just newly formed couldn't join. And lastly, their reputation points should at least reach a hundred.

　　What's a reputation points, you asked? Well, it's actually a point given to a player whenever they had a certain achievement in the game. So, this required number of reputation points depended on the members of a team. This was very advantageous to those who had more members.

　　If one wanted to know how many reputation points they had, they only had to go to a Record Hall and check it. A team could also check the overall reputation points that they had. 

　　Once a team fulfilled those three requirements, then, they could go ahead and participate in the Cup. 

　　One might think that it must be easy to do. The first two certainly didn't need any effort. But the last one wasn't really the same case. That one needed tremendous effort to achieve. 

　　The teams that were qualified to register would then, as it had been already mentioned, be divided into seven brackets. The teams in each bracket would go into a round robin kind of competition in which all teams would get a turn fighting the rest of the teams in their brackets.

　　The two teams with the most win in each bracket would then be qualified to proceed to the next round. These 14 teams would be joined by two other teams. Which were the champion and the runner up from the last season. 

　　As the top two teams from the last season, they were automatically given the privilege of directly jumping to the second round of the Cup. Which meant that there would be a total of 16 teams fighting it out for the championship. 

　　"The registration of the Cup will start at the last week of this month," Bai Ze started. "I will volunteer to go and register our team because I know you guys can't be bothered to do it."

　　"Before thinking of registering, you should check first if our reputation points are enough for us to register," Su Yuqi said dryly.

　　"I'm sure it is," Bai Ze said with confidence. "I mean, none of us had been lazy this year. I'm sure, with us five, our reputation points will no doubt reach 100."

　　It's because the reputation points that would be accounted for were only the ones achieved this year. It was so it wouldn't be unfair to teams who were only a year old.contemporary romance

　　"Sorry to break your bubble, but I just checked our team's reputation points before going here and we're short of 10 points," Su Yuqi said.

　　There was silence in the room after she said that. Then, Bai Ze suddenly exclaimed;

　　"No way! Seriously?"

　　"Do you think I will joke about this?" Su Yuqi said, rolling her eyes. "Actually, if not for Luo Yan's contribution, we would be way more behind."

　　It was mostly because of winning the Rookie Carnival. The other one was eliminating the Dark Saint. The first one already raked in a lot of achievement points. But the second one was no joke either.

　　"What should we do now? Ten points is not a no joke. We couldn't just rack it in in a matter of days," Bai Ze said, obviously very worried. 

　　"What about being the first one to clear a new dungeon?" Luo Yan suddenly interjected. "Would that be worth 10 points?"

　　Shen Ji Yun glanced at Luo Yan. Hearing what the other said, he already had an idea what he was on about. 

　　"Of course, that would be more than enough," Bai Ze answered. "But where—oh, wait, it's that new dungeon that will go live tomorrow, isn't it?"

　　This new dungeon had long been announced since the last update. But because of some changes that were made, the released of the dungeon had been moved. But last week, Moonlight Media finally announced that the said dungeon would go live tomorrow at exactly 12 in the afternoon.

　　"Exactly," Luo Yan answered with a smile.

　　"But I heard the location of this dungeon is still unknown. What if some team got there before us?" Luo Jin asked, expressing his doubt.

　　"We have a teleportation scroll that will directly take us to the dungeon," Shen Ji Yun said. 

　　"That's right. Brother Ji Yun and I got it from the Crimson Corps. Their leader gave it to us as a reward from doing them a favor," Luo Yan added. "And there's a high chance that the scroll's destination is that new dungeon."

　　"But what if it's not?" Su Yuqi asked.

　　"Then, I will fight 100 players continuously at the Arena, winning every match, to make up for those 10 points," Shen Ji Yun said. "That would be the back-up. But tomorrow, we will use that scroll, wherever it might take us."

　　Su Yuqi shrugged but didn't say any objection. The same for Bai Ze and Luo Jin. 

　　Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun and said in a teasing tone, "Brother Ji Yun is very handsome just now. Like a dependable captain."

　　With just that, Shen Ji Yun's face turned red like a blooming rose.
