"Regarding the Huashan Invitational Tournament, there might be top competitors from across the nation and even around the world." Xinyuan Tanchun seemed to have anticipated what choice Shen Sui would make.
"The Type A tournament is a world-renowned event, I know. Is the Type B tournament too?"
"It wasn't before, but with the growing fame of the Type A tournament, many from abroad also choose to participate in the Huashan Invitational Tournament." Xinyuan Tanchun said, "In recent years, the Type B tournament has also become a global event. However, due to the restriction on the participating contestants' ranks, the highest rank Life Card Master you might encounter is probably around the seventh tier."
"Oh? That sounds interesting." Shen Sui stroked his chin, intrigued, "I wonder if I can meet a Life Card Master from World No. 1."
In the country, relatively few people actually choose the Fantasy World, with more preferring the Immortal World and the Science Fiction World.
Of course, Dawn Continent is among the most unique, with its bizarre survival rate that makes even novice players hesitate a bit.
Xinyuan Tanchun also plans to participate in the Huashan Invitational Tournament.
Although the fame of the Type A tournament leads people to refer to the Huashan Invitational Tournament as just that, the Type A tournament, resulting in the Type B and C tournaments, although top-notch in content, not having as much renown as top professional tournaments like the Light of Light, which focus only on one rank, but the points are considerable, and no Life Card Master would ignore the substantial points.
"Will we meet Yang Liguang?" Shen Sui suddenly asked out of curiosity.
Xinyuan Tanchun replied, "Guang is already an eighth-tier Life Card Master. She can only participate in the Type A tournament."
After the Exploration Bureau restructured the tournament classifications, the contestants' ranks also have clear divisions.
Life Card Masters from the first to fourth tiers can only participate in the Type C tournaments.
Life Card Masters from the fifth to seventh tiers can only participate in the Type B tournaments.
Life Card Masters from the eighth to ninth tiers can only participate in the Type A tournaments.
Exhibition matches have no restrictions, but professional matches must adhere to rank divisions. This is to prevent high-rank Life Card Masters from gathering points and leveling up by steamrolling through lower-tier tournaments, much like high-ranked players in some games diving into lower ranks to dominate, which seriously affects the environment of the competition.
The Huashan Invitational Tournament isn't something you can join just by signing up. All contestants, regardless of fame, must participate in the pre-selection matches, followed by the knockout matches, and then the elimination rounds.
The tournament schedule is expected to last about a month, so if you're just there to gather points and have enough confidence, you can participate in other competitions in between these matches.
However, due to the tournament structure reform, the schedule for other competitions isn't much better. But when the Exploration Bureau approves the timing of tournaments, they generally don't allow all events to coincide with each other.
Basically, the tournaments are arranged in time order according to their point values. The pre-selection matches for the Huashan Invitational Tournament will end just when another tournament's pre-selection begins, allowing Life Card Masters who didn't pass the pre-selection to seamlessly join, mitigating the shortage of tournaments after the number of competitions decreases.
Of course, under this kind of tournament structure, those Life Card Masters who previously relied on steamrolling through to level up might be exposed. Playing for a year still might not yield a good ranking, and that's a kind of retribution.
Regarding the Huashan Invitational Tournament, the pre-selection matches will begin in about five days. According to Xinyuan Tanchun, it is better to go there in advance to acclimate to the local environment.
With fewer tournaments, every single one must be taken seriously. Losing a match due to environmental dissatisfaction would be too much of a loss.
Shen Sui, however, does not plan to leave Modu so soon.
I've just barely escaped the stifling environment of the hotel. Now you want me to go stay in another hotel out of town? No way.
He plans to take advantage of these few days off to relax, and also to bring Freymia and the others along to remodel the house.
After saying goodbye to Xinyuan Tanchun, Wang Ming came over.
He was simply there to settle the task rewards for Shen Sui.
The task bonus had already been fully transferred to Shen Sui's card, including the previous operations in Coastal City that needed to be settled, focusing mainly on the rewards of the self-selected Life Cards in his deck.
The Huaxia Exploration Bureau's card library contains cards acquired by all staff across Huaxia while exploring the Soul Card World.
While there's definitely a tendency to keep powerful cards for oneself, many give up dueling for livelihood, submitting all acquired cards to the Exploration Bureau in exchange for more resources.
Moreover, to combat the Extraordinary Invasion, the Exploration Bureau also strives to enhance its members' dueling prowess. In the latest reform, anyone with a certain performance in the Exploration Bureau can, like club players, have the privilege to rent a portion of the cards from the Exploration Bureau's card library.
The card library is so extensive that Shen Sui spent quite a long time browsing it, his eyes nearly going blurry.
Such a vast card library is the ultimate torment for someone like Shen Sui with choice fatigue.
Shen Sui even feels now that it's a conspiracy by the Exploration Bureau to withhold his reward. It appears as if you can choose anything you want, just like how a search engine seems to find anything, but to actually get what you desire, you must master certain skills.
