Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start - Chapter 459

Chapter 459: 458, [Illusion Duel] (I): Temple Escape _1
Looking at these two options, Su Yu couldn’t help but be at a loss for words.

“Yes” and “participate”…Was there any difference? Wasn’t this simply forcing him to participate?

Moreover, the countdown for making a selection was incredibly fast.

Three seconds later, Su Yu’s consciousness directly left his body without making a selection, and he was forcibly transferred to the illusionary realm. His real body, rigid and motionless, fell onto the cold floor of the Mage Tower’s third floor.

Cat Morning Star was still enjoying her snacks on the table.

Seeing Su Yu fall rigidly, she jumped in fright.

“Nemesis, what happened to you?” Morning Star leaped off the table to Su Yu’s head, extending her front claws to shake him vigorously.

However, Su Yugave no response, as if he had become a vegetable.

…

Returning to Su Yu’s perspective, the things in front of his eyes distorted and transformed continuously.

About 5 seconds later, his consciousness arrived in a murky gray space.

This gray space was devoid of anything, giving him a particularly oppressive feeling.

The only thing he could see was a “signboard”-like object directly ahead of him. The semi-transparent signboard looked quite textured, with light blue words that read “27/100”.

The number “27” kept increasing, and after about 5 seconds, “27” increased to “100”. The number on the signboard stopped at “100/100”.

A cool female voice echoed in Su Yu’s ear: “The number for this Illusion Duel is full. Please prepare all contestants. The duel will begin in 10 seconds.”

“10, 9, 8…”

Hearing this female voice, Su Yu was taken aback.

He can 100% guarantee that this voice was definitely Bernina Tide’s!

How did Bernina get to guest star in the Illusion Duel?

However, he didn’t have time to think too much.

The 10-second countdown quickly ended, and the gray space in front of Su Yu shattered like glass. In its place was a dark, dry corridor.

The corridor was about two people high and one person wide, with all four sides made of brownish-yellow mud bricks.

Sunlight shone in through the holes in the upper part of the corridor, allowing Su Yu to barely make out his surroundings.

The front of the corridor was dark and it was unknown where it led. However, gold coins were floating on the ground.

“Roar!”

A loud monster roar echoed behind him.

From the shadows behind him, a furry and horrifying monster that looked like a big gorilla sprang out. The monster sprinted towards Su Yu with the wooden stick in his hand, sounding a gusty wind.

Su Yu quickly gauged and found that this gorilla was probably at the third stage, while the human body he was controlling was merely at the second stage. Its defense was extremely weak; if he was hit by the stick, he would undoubtedly die!

At the moment when the gorilla appeared, his body involuntarily started running forward along the corridor.

A voice from Bernina resounded in his ears: “Welcome all adventurers to the random challenge, [Temple Escape].”

“You are an adventurer who came to the ancient temple in search of treasures but encountered a monster.”

“Your body uncontrollably runs forward, and the only actions you can take are to turn, jump slightly to the left or right, or lie down on your back.”

“During the whole process, you will run around the temple walls, climb cliffs, and can move slightly to the left or right to collect the gold coins on the track. If you run off the track or get caught by the monster, you will lose.”

“The race will last for 10 minutes, and at the end, the player with the most gold coins collected will be the winner and move on to the next round.”

…

“It’s actually Temple Escape…” Su Yu, who was running, couldn’t help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

He had experienced Temple Escape, an embedded mini-game, in his previous life. The challenge was in rapid responses and timely turning to avoid obstacles.

Players who reacted slowly might fail to turn at the right spot, resulting in crashing into the wall or running straight off the track, thus getting eliminated.

Su Yu didn’t expect this small game to be the first illusion.

…

However, since Su Yu had experience, he was a lot more composed running on the track than other players.

Turn left, turn right, jump, turn right…..

Upon leaving the corridor, Su Yu ran methodically along the temple walls, simultaneously adjusting his running route to grab more gold coins.

The number of players participating in the race was gradually decreasing. Just after 200 meters, the number of participants had already dropped from “100/100” to “78/100”.

Su Yu wasn’t too bothered by the player count, he was just trying his best to follow his own rhythm and finish the race.

The number of players continued to decrease.

About 600 meters into the race, the number of players dropped to “50/100”.

But at that moment, a glaring red light suddenly lit up around Su Yu’s field of vision. The light was still flashing.

“Warning! Warning! Transitioning into the second phase in 3, 2, 1, 0.”

As the warning countdown ended, the giant gorilla “huffing” and “puffing” five meters behind Su Yu suddenly threw out the wooden stick in his hand.

The wooden stick, along with the whirring wind, flew towards Su Yu’s legs

“Damn it!” Su Yu cursed.

He swiftly maneuvered to the right, calculated the velocity of both the incoming ground obstacle and the wooden stick, then made a double jump and a thrilling turn. In the end, he successfully managed to stay on the track, withstanding the danger.

“Oh man, that was a close one!” Su Yu wiped his sweat, trembling slightly.

Lucky for him, his quick reflexes and sharp senses allowed him to pick up on the danger coming from behind. Otherwise, he might have been thrown off the track!

He glanced at the persistent player count. Now, there were only “33/100” players left. Apparently, a dozen guys didn’t pass the previous test.

But before Su Yu could catch his breath, the red light came again!

“Warning! Warning! Transitioning into the third phase in 3, 2, 1, 0.”

Su Yu tensed up, instantly focusing all his attention on his surroundings, especially the “gorilla” behind him. Was this beast gonna throw something else?

Then, contrary to Su Yu’s expectation…

Nothing out of the ordinary happened after this countdown. The gorilla didn’t throw anything around, instead the speed of the character he was controlling suddenly doubled!

Now, Su Yu’s character was away from the temple walls and was running on a ridgeline of a small hill.

The brief acceleration almost made Su Yu lose his footing and fall off the ridgeline!

Fortunately, relying on his strong mentality, Su Yu promptly adjusted his rhythm, avoiding losing control over his character due to panic.

However, other players weren’t so lucky. The double speed caused many players to fail to react in time.

In just 20 seconds of entering the third phase, the player count quickly dropped from “33/100” to “10/100”, with almost one person falling off the track every second.

When the count jumped to “10/100”, the glaring red light sparked off again.

“Warning! Warning! Transitioning into the fourth phase in 3, 2, 1, 0.”
