Chapter 331: "Like I said, I am also a magician."_4
"In terms of luck, I have never lost."
"Let's not talk about that."
"Same goes for Russian Roulette, I have never lost."
...
"Ding, 27 players have cleared the 11th level, and all remaining players have been eliminated. For those who have been eliminated, do not be discouraged, you will each receive an encouragement award of an 1.8 million Experience Points Exchange Card."
"All players who have cleared the 11th level will receive a special gift pack."
"The gift pack includes: one 3.2 million Experience Points Exchange Card."
Following this notification, the remaining 27 players returned to the plains, while the other 26 eliminated players were regrettably leaving the stage to join the audience. But even though they were eliminated now, the gains along the way were already the greatest they had ever had in their lives.
Not to mention anything else, just those Experience Points alone were enough for them to level up many times.
It is foreseeable that the federal level leaderboard is about to undergo a huge change soon.
"Experience Points again."
Standing on the plains, Hungry Monkey's eyes flashed with surprise. The previous two levels both rewarded random items and skills, and it was assumed that there would be no more Experience Points Exchange Card rewards in the following levels. Unexpectedly, the prize for the 11th level was the Exchange Card once again. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire
Only, the amount of Experience Points had not increased.
It was exactly the same as the reward for the eighth level.
Without any difference.
"That's good, I like Experience Points."
Chen Miao smiled looking at the pop-up panel in front of him. What he needed most was Experience Points. As for the other items and skills, firstly, he wasn't exactly lacking them, and secondly, there were other ways to obtain them. But Experience Points were indeed very hard to come by.
His luck had always been quite good.
However, when it came to poker cards, he was never really confident.
But a long time ago, he had perfectly cleared a mysterious realm with time rules, which rewarded him a special skill. Although it was only an E-rank skill, its strength was not low. The only thing was that it was categorized as an Active Skill, yet he couldn't actually control when to turn it off or on.
-
"Skill Name": Time Rift.
"Skill Level": E-rank.
"Skill Restriction": No profession restrictions apply to use this skill, and this unique skill cannot be dropped.
"Skill Effect": After midnight each day ends, you will have one additional hour. This hour is a Time Rift, which only you can use; no one else can use this hour.
The skill is classified as a passive skill that activates automatically after midnight each day; it cannot be actively activated at other times.
"Skill Introduction": "A long, long time ago, a daring Thief set his sights on the God of Time. By chance, he inherited the legacy from the Thief God. He stole one hour from the lair of the God of Time."
"Since then, every day, there is one hour that the God of Time does not control."

A skill similar to time-stopping.
Once midnight ends every day, the whole world seems to pause for an hour in his eyes. It was because of this lousy skill that he could never go to sleep before after midnight, regardless of how tired he was.
One extremely dumb aspect of this skill is that in the paused world, everything stops.
That includes the air.
The air also stops moving, and if he stays in one spot too long, that area will run out of oxygen, and he'll gradually start to suffocate. This means if he goes to sleep before midnight and sleeps too soundly...
...he's most likely to be woken by the suffocation, then have to stay active for an hour before returning to sleep.
This lousy skill has brought many inconveniences into his life.
However, sometimes, this skill can have an unexpectedly beneficial effect.
Take, for example, this 11th level.
With this skill, he can freely switch his own and Hungry Monkey's cards during the time stop in the early morning, ensuring they are in a position that is absolutely unbeatable, nearly invincible. It's not right to say nearly; it should be said absolutely invincible.
The only pity is...
It seems he is the only one with the ability to stop time. He originally thought that with so many high-ranked Supernaturals, probably not just one person would have this ability to stop time. He was actually quite curious about what would happen if two people stopped time at the same time?
A collision in the dimension of time?
...
"The 12th level is about to start."
Zhou Shen in the audience looked at Yuan Buping with a hint of nervousness, hesitating to speak: "Do you think Miao and the others will be able to clear it smoothly? Now there are only 27 people left, only two levels away from clearing all 13 levels."
"There shouldn't be any difficulty, right?"
Yuan Buping shrugged his shoulders, speaking with quite a bit of confidence: "Miao is the strongest among these people. If Miao can't clear the levels, then no one can."
"It's true, but not all levels are about Combat Power, like this one that was about luck. If subsequent levels are about some other messy stuff, it's really uncertain whether Miao can clear them."
"It's not a big deal even if he doesn't clear them." Yuan Buping shook his head and said with a smile: "Miao has already gained a lot this time. Once this secret realm event is over, Miao will firmly establish his position as the strongest on Blue Star. What could he possibly want that he won't have? How much of a reward could he get for clearing all the way through?"
"It looks like the Experience Points limit is 3.2 million."
"At most, it's just a loss of more than 6 million Experience Points, no big issue, it's already a big win."
"That's true too."
Zhou Shen, upon realizing this, nodded in agreement. At this moment, he felt very glad that he had insisted on giving up the position of the head of the Events Bureau. Now it seemed that the head position of the Events Bureau was trivial.
As a Tomb Guardian, he was almost second only to one, above tens of thousands of others.
A bureau chief position looked rather insignificant to him.
Miao was almost climbing to the position of sphere leader. When the Tomb Guardians first began, who could have imagined that one day they would become the strongest organization on Blue Star? That night when Miao climbed into the passenger seat of his private car and threatened him, who could have thought that one day Miao would be the most powerful person on Blue Star?
That time when they dealt in black market goods, peddling AI pills together, who could have thought that something recognized as contraband could someday save the whole of Blue Star?
During that night in Zhenba City, if it weren't for the AI pills Miao had in his pocket, the whole Blue Star would have been finished.
Following Miao, so many things had become too unbelievable.
"Tsk."
Zhou Shen, lost in his wild thoughts, suddenly shook his head and clicked his tongue, laughing as if he had just thought of something amusing.
