Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

Objectively speaking, Yan Yichen's suggestion was not wrong.

Everyone knew that as long as one person could survive and pass this national instance, everyone would be safe.

Moreover, the current main quest also requires them to decide on the strongest player, eliminate everyone else, and then participate in the final round of trials.

However, there was an even more important issue at hand, one that Yan Yichen knew but didn't really want to face.

That issue was...

"What you're saying isn't wrong, but how do we determine who the strongest player is?"

The Abyss World is very similar to other types of esports. It's hard to find an eternal god because everyone's strength is constantly changing. It's very possible that one second, Player A is the strongest in the world, but the next second, Player B, who comes out of an instance, becomes the strongest.

Everyone here is a top player, and definitely no one wants to admit that they are inferior to others.

So, here's the question.

How do we decide who the strongest player is to face the final round of trials?

There are still over a thousand players left. It's impossible to use a gauntlet or free-for-all to determine the final winner.

Moreover, Yan Yichen had already made it clear that this kind of free-for-all or gauntlet would greatly reduce the strength of all players. If the strongest player themselves had the potential to pass the final round of trials, but their strength was weakened in the battle,

then the outcome would be hard to say.

After all, in the Abyss World, skills have cooldown times. Some equipment or items are even consumables with limited uses.

If they are consumed in unimportant battles, it would be a real loss.

For a moment, everyone fell silent again.

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "By the way, wasn't there a player who cleared the Aberrant instance before? I remember they were called something... the Martyr, right?"

As soon as they heard the words "the Martyr," everyone immediately reacted.

After all, this was the only person in the world who could clear the Aberrant instance, even clearing it twice in a row.

Everyone was willing to believe in the Martyr's strength, because the top players present had more or less felt the pressure of the Aberrant instance.

If they had to choose the strongest player from everyone, then it was estimated that only the Martyr could satisfy everyone.

"The one called the Martyr, come out quickly. There's no need to hide anymore. I believe you must have survived until now. Now is the time when everyone needs you!"

Someone shouted this in the crowd, but for a long time, no one responded.

The crowd fell silent.

Could it be that the Martyr was eliminated in the previous instances?

Impossible. This person was a big shot who could clear the Aberrant instance. How could they be eliminated in the previous hell-difficulty multiplayer instances?

Could it be that they were killed by those strange monsters just now?

That's also impossible. They were able to clear the Aberrant instance, so their combat power should be above everyone else. Several people here didn't die, so how could the Martyr be killed by those strange monsters?

Could it be that they were killed by the glow just now?

Now, no one dares to impersonate the identity of "the Martyr" because once they take on this name, they will truly have to shoulder the lives of all the players in the Abyss World.

It's hard to say whether one's own shoulders can bear such a heavy burden.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, Yan Yichen continued, "It seems that the legendary Martyr didn't make it to the end."

Now Yan Yichen and the others were speechless. At first, they pinned their hopes on Xu Tong, but that idiot seemed to have been eliminated in the first round.

Now they were pinning their hopes on the big shot called the Martyr, but this big shot didn't know which stage they were eliminated in. Why was their luck so bad?

"In that case, how can we decide who the strongest player is?"

Just as this question was raised by someone, Shen Yu suddenly stood up.

Although his steps were staggering, and he even needed Lan Fu to help him, Shen Yu's face still showed a very firm expression.

"Everyone, I have something to say. I don't know if you are willing to listen to me."

Yan Yichen's right eyelid suddenly twitched.

He believed in the saying that the left eye twitches for wealth and the right eye twitches for disaster, and he felt that something bad might happen next.

Everyone turned their attention to Shen Yu. If it was the Shen Yu from the beginning, it was estimated that these top players wouldn't even have the mood to look at him.

But Shen Yu had just fully demonstrated his strength. Although the duration was short, his strength had been recognized by the top players present, so they would naturally take his words seriously.

"Speak."

Shen Yu took a deep breath and said, "In my opinion, none of you here are qualified."

Everyone: "?"

Yan Yichen: "Damn it, I knew it!"

Shen Yu said very seriously, "In my opinion, the strength, intelligence, and execution ability you have shown are not qualified to challenge the final round of the instance next."

"It's a pity that the person I recognize was eliminated in the first round. Otherwise, in my opinion, you and I are the same, and we don't even have the qualifications to survive to the last round."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of top players instantly exploded.

You can say they are weak, but you can't say I am weak!

Moreover, the person you recognized was eliminated in the first round, what are you talking about? Isn't that just a complete noob? Just a stray dog on the side of the road.

"Young man, you are too arrogant, aren't you? Do you know what level I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"

"I'm telling you, young man, my clearance rate for Hard difficulty instances has reached 80%. It's a height that you young people can't reach. You should first reach a 50-50 clearance rate for your own Hard difficulty instances before you come and teach me a lesson!"

"Damn it, I've been dominating the Abyss World for so long, and this is the first time I've been face-to-face with a player who is so much lower level than me. How many mothers do you have to dare to talk to me like that?"

Looking at the scene in front of him that had exploded, Yan Yichen knew that he was powerless to turn the tide. He could only cover his face and wait for the players to vent their emotions.

Lan Fu on the side didn't mind the excitement, and always had a smile on her face, not knowing what she was laughing at.

As for Pei Wenyu, she looked into the distance, at the dark gate that Xu Tong had once entered.

Her brows were slightly furrowed.

It seemed that she sensed a familiar presence.
