Upon hearing this, the staff immediately complied, and the surveillance footage from the vicinity was quickly retrieved.
At this time, the area around the stone bridge was quite lively.
There were about twenty players there with over nine hundred points, just a little short of reaching one thousand points.
But there wasn't a single player with 1,000 points.
The reason, of course, is because of a Luffy standing on the stone bridge, which is the only way forward.
To get past this stage, one must pass Luffy's level, but the twenty or so players present clearly demonstrated that this was virtually impossible.
However, Luffy already had over 900 points, just a little short of 1000 points.
Even so, no one came up to fight Luffy.
After all, everyone was defeated by Luffy, so it's inevitable that they harbor resentment towards him and naturally don't want to give up their region's first place to Luffy today.
So a large group of people gathered here, not fighting, but simply watching.
Luffy remained calm about this; as long as he wasn't in a hurry, it was definitely others who were!
Is there a way to end this game?
"There's no other way, Mr. Giovanni!"
After all, Luffy is currently closest to the stone bridge, so if the stone bridge is opened directly, Luffy will be the first to do so.
This will definitely upset the other players in this region.
But if other players get a thousand points and want to pass, they can only rely on Luffy's whims.
It can be said that Luffy, by holding the key route, has already secured an invincible position!
Left with no other option, Giovanni took out his phone and called Luffy.
As the phone rang, Luffy simultaneously picked up his phone in the surveillance footage.
"What's wrong? Is there something you need from me?"
"You're asking me what you're doing?"
"Of course, we'll participate in the Etherfront activities!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy said with considerable pride.
"I'm asking you, is it really okay for you to do this?"
"What's wrong with that? I didn't cheat, and I didn't break the rules of the game, so why is it wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Giovanni fell silent instantly.
Luffy is absolutely right. Although his playstyle is a bit unorthodox, it doesn't violate any rules.
"It's truly a loss for the God of Joy that He didn't look after you!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"I'm not praising you. You're a sponsor of the event, after all. What you're doing isn't good for the event. You should hurry up and figure out how to end the competition in your region!"
"But nobody wants to fight me!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy looked aggrieved and said to Giovanni.
He also wanted to end the match quickly, but ever since he reached over 900 points, the people who were defeated by Luffy had adopted the mindset that if he couldn't win, this guy shouldn't win either, and refused to fight Luffy.
"This is your own problem, you need to figure it out yourself!"
Giovanni then hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Ruf put it back in his pocket.
Since Giovanni has said so, Luffy is about to make his move.
Instant noodles, hot water, ham!
One by one, Luffy took out various foods from the system's inventory.
Luffy, who had planned to block the bridge long ago, knew it would be a long process and had prepared food in advance.
But others didn't.
The match, which was originally thought to be over in the afternoon, was dragged out into the evening by Luffy.
Everyone present was both hungry and thirsty.
Just then, the aroma of instant noodles wafted over, and everyone's stomachs began to rumble.
Especially Gui Naifen, because she has a live stream running, and it's also late at night.
At this moment, Gui Naifen's live stream was filled with viewers showing off their late-night snacks.
Gui Naifen's mouth watered at the sight, and coincidentally, at that moment Su Chang also posted a photo of herself enjoying delicious food at a restaurant.
On the contrary, Su Chang, who had long been eliminated, was already enjoying herself there.
They also asked when Gui Naifen would be coming out, as she couldn't eat any more late-night snacks...
"Ugh! I can't take it anymore!"
At this moment, Gui Naifen also stepped forward, looking at Luffy with righteous indignation.
"I want to duel with you!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding players immediately became respectful.
After being here for so long, finally some idiot has shown up.
They were finally free.
"Keep it up, big sister who's doing live streaming!"
"Let that CS guy know how good you are!"
The crowd overwhelmingly cheered for Gui Naifen, as if she were some great hero about to save the world.
"Okay, let's begin!"
Lu Fu looked at Su Chang with a smile and said.
"Golden men, all of you, charge!"
Three minutes later, looking at the defeated golden man, Luffy also took away Gui Naifen's points with tears in his eyes.
By this time, Luffy had finally collected a thousand points, so he slowly walked towards the stone bridge.
As for stopping them, no one dares to stop them.
After all, we can't beat them, and going up would just be a waste of time. It's better to just let them go over. Anyway, it's only the first day, so there's still time!
After crossing the stone bridge, Luffy arrived at the platform in the middle.
Although it took a while, Luffy only managed to get fourth place on the first day.
But Luffy doesn't care. As long as he gambles every day and gets fourth place every day, Luffy will eventually make it to the finals!
Volume 1, Chapter 314: Let's see whose parameters are higher?
Having secured fourth place, Luffy leisurely left the Iron Guard restricted area. Of course, besides Luffy, there was also the group of players who had been blocked by him.
Having not eaten all day, everyone rushed to the nearest restaurant to eat out.
"Luffy, you're finally out!"
Upon seeing Luffy finally emerge from inside, March 7th and Xing couldn't help but burst into tears.
They came out in the afternoon, but they waited for Luffy, and it's been so long that it's late now.
"Hmm, why are you still here? Didn't I tell you you could have left already?"
Xing had texted him more than two hours earlier, but Luffy was busy at the time, so he texted them to go back first and not wait for him.
When the results came out, they were surprised to find that they had waited until now.
"I thought you'd be out soon, so I decided to wait for you before going back. Who knew you'd take so long!"
March 7th is also somewhat helpless.
If Luffy doesn't come out soon, she and Hoshino are considering going out for another late-night snack.
"By the way, what happened in your region that took so long?"
Upon hearing this, Luffy recounted his experience of blocking the bridge to the two of them.
March 7th looked at Luffy with a strange expression.
"I never expected Luffy to be such a persistent and determined man!"
This left March 7th speechless. However, Xing's eyes lit up when she heard about Luffy's bridge-blocking method.
"Great idea!"
Xing slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"I'm going to block the bridge tomorrow too!"
"By the way, Xing, have you gotten your ranking yet? I've already got my ranking for our region!"
Upon hearing this, Xing's face immediately showed a hint of bitterness.
"no!"
Xing looked dejected and said.
"That's really surprising. You were eliminated?"
Luffy was quite surprised to see that Xing hadn't gotten a ranking.
Do you want to know who Xing is?
That's the protagonist of the Honkai Impact 3rd world.
According to the plot, shouldn't the protagonist be able to easily get first place?
"There's someone in our region who's even more cheating; by noon, they'd already speedrun through our region!"
Imagine the despair of going down to collect enough points to open the stone bridge, only to be told that the stone bridge has already been opened.
If Xing had gone to gamble at the bridge earlier today, the outcome would have been uncertain.
At this moment, Xing secretly vowed that he would block the bridge first thing tomorrow morning and would never let anyone cross it!
"Alright, let's hurry up and go. I'm a bit tired after fighting all day. I happen to know a good restaurant that's still open. How about I treat you guys to a meal?"
"Really? Then I won't be polite!"
Before Luffy came out, she and March 7 were discussing late-night snacks.
Since Luffy was treating, she naturally ate as much as she wanted!
……
Meanwhile, in a restaurant, Gui Naifen, who had been starving all day, finally got to eat a hot meal.
"Eat your osmanthus slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"
Su Chang poured a glass of water for Gui Naifen, who was choking on her food, and looked at her with some helplessness.
Upon meeting her, he acted like a starving ghost, stuffing the chicken leg from his plate directly into her mouth.
This was the first time she had ever seen Gui Naifen eat so ravenously.
"Let me tell you, Changchang, that guy named Lu Fu is just too much! If it weren't for her, I would have been the number one in our region!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Gui Zi, you're the best!"
Su Chang replied rather perfunctorily.
It wasn't that she didn't value Gui Naifen; it was just that Gui Naifen had been bringing up this matter ever since she met her.
Even Su Chang herself has almost memorized these few sentences.
At this moment, Gui Naifen was like a broken record.
"In tomorrow's match, we can simply avoid him!"
If she can't beat us, can't she at least outrun us? As long as she's not in the same region as Luffy, winning will be much easier for her.
