Chapter 898: Chapter 893: Audience Support

Bai Pu effortlessly killed the fierce-eyed lion, naturally drawing the attention of many in the audience.

Especially the female spectators, who had been secretly following him since the pre-competition introduction, were cheering with excitement, praising Bai Pu’s bravery while continuously throwing bouquets and coins into Gangxin’s support box.

In the void, the magic image displayed the "Support Rankings" of each gladiator in real-time. This support ranking converts the bouquets, coins, jewelry, and other items in a gladiator’s support box into Imperial Coins, and ranks them from high to low.

Those ranked at the top were naturally the Senior Silver Medal Gladiators, like "Skullbreaker" Monsaka, who was in first place with a support amount of 849 Imperial Enber Silver Coins.

Bai Pu’s support had converted to 526 Enber, placing him in the top ten. For a newly promoted gladiator, this was not easy.

The 526 Enber Silver Coins from the support brought Bai Pu 52.6 reputation points, and 5.26 merit points! This was quite an unexpected surprise, making other Awakened Major Generals feel jealous and envious.

Corner of the Maze.

The Great and Small Witches stood in front of a dead walrus seal, looking up at the ranking.

Wu Qingyun was thrilled: "Maybe this competition, little Bai’s reputation can reach Respect instantly! Becoming a Silver Medal Gladiator."

Wu Mingyue joked with a smile: "Many of the supports are from female spectators, aren’t you jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous, as long as little Bai has me in his heart." Wu Qingyun said indifferently.

Wu Mingyue was speechless for a moment. She didn’t mind, but that was because these were female natives who hadn’t solved the World Mystery; to their trio, they were like "clay figurines", posing no threat.

In comparison, her own mind was not as pure as Wu Qingyun’s.

"Indeed, there’s no need to be jealous. Little Bai’s early promotion to a Silver Medal Gladiator is extremely significant... According to Little Bai’s analysis, Silver Medal Gladiators on the New Continent should quickly take up roles like team leader, greatly enhancing the freedom of action, and by then, he can lend us a hand..."

But before Wu Mingyue could finish, a wave of shock and exclamations erupted from the field.

In the void, the magic image showed Gangxin Dior’s name rapidly surging to first place on the ranking!

——1526 Enber Silver Coins!

Leaving the second place "Skullbreaker" Monsaka far behind.

The Great and Small Witches were stunned.

"Who would spend so much..." Wu Qingyun wasn’t dumb, she quickly realized that this must be a single batch "reward"!

In other words, someone had poured in wealth equivalent to 1000 Enber Silver Coins into Bai Pu’s support box all at once.

Wu Mingyue couldn’t remain calm either, gritting her teeth: "Little Bai is truly like an Enchanting Demon, I wonder which noble lady spent so lavishly to become the top supporter..."

...

On the north side of the Gladiatorial Arena, inside one of the noble boxes.

Several noblewomen from the Birdwatching Group in Melt Iron City were laughing together: "I really don’t know if Gangxin will be scared by our little surprise?"

Lady Karamango said helplessly: "Thank you all for supporting Gangxin..." She deeply felt the difficulty of protecting Gangxin’s chastity.

"Lady Demetri, aren’t you going to show some support? Or does Gangxin not meet your taste?" A noblewoman blinked her eyes.

Lady Demetri, in a deep V purple dress, slowly shook her head, hesitantly saying: "I... I’ll just watch, I’m not interested."

...

In the subsequent challenges, Bai Pu and Balrog encountered some demon beasts.

It is noteworthy that the demon beasts appearing here were mostly species from the New Continent, often amphibious.

Iron Spine Balrog, a native well-versed in many things, had never been to the New Continent, and knew little about these demon beasts. It often took suffering from the demon beasts to realize "these are the rumored XX demon beasts of the New Continent," definitely a case of ’Zhuge Liang after the event’.

Bai Pu realized, this Gladiator Tournament’s design of maze monster stages likely had the purpose of familiarizing gladiators with the New Continent’s demon beasts’ abilities.

Although some demon beasts were elite level, most were ordinary templates, making it easy for Bai Pu to kill them. However, the treasure chest drop rate was low, and the spoils were mostly materials, quite unremarkable.

Nonetheless, exploring the maze, they cleared up six or seven beast lairs, obtained four battle banners, and gained 800 reputation points and 80 merit points, which was not bad.

They encountered several groups of gladiators along the way, both from the Red Blood Arena and other arenas.

All sorts of gladiators were in a rush to search beast lairs, seeking the way to the central platform, naturally unwilling to waste time in conflict. They merely exchanged glances and parted ways.

Bai Pu was not in a hurry for internal conflict either.

Counting the proceeds from "audience support" plus the four battle banners, Bai Pu had now received 2264 Enber Silver Coins in support, accumulating 1026/3000 in Friendly reputation!

He was still 1974 points away from Respect.

Having traversed several crossroads, Bai Pu was now familiar with the paths. According to his calculations, the way to the maze was clearly outlined.

"Master, this beast lair is empty too, no battle banner!" Iron Spine Balrog shouted.

Bai Pu responded with a murmur, silently contemplating:

"It’s likely that the beast lairs in the maze have mostly been cleared by other gladiators. Continuing to search for battle banners would be too time-consuming... Let’s head directly to the central platform! The next goal is to win this Gladiator Tournament, which will double the reputation and merit points I gain from this competition!

"With outstanding subsequent performances, if I beat other Senior Silver Medal Gladiators, there should be another wave of support, perhaps allowing me to rise to Respect in one go!"

...

Bai Pu, bringing Balrog, was the first to see the central platform, then quickly climbed up its steep stairs.

This platform was several hundred meters long and wide, forming a circular shape overall.

The center was a circle of steel flooring, with other areas made of stone slabs, divided into multiple grids. Certain grids had pre-set magic traps, shimmering with a magical aura, but they hadn’t been activated yet, and stepping on them casually wouldn’t trigger them.

Activating them was simple; one just needed to plant the seized battle banners along the seams of the grids, and the corresponding magic traps would enter an active state. When someone else stepped on them later, the traps would trigger.

"Boss Gangxin, the ones flashing red are ’Fire Ring’ traps, the green ones are ’Binding’ traps, the purple ones are ’Electric Shock’ traps..." Iron Spine Balrog asked, "Which traps should we activate?"

"According to the positions of the traps."

Bai Pu quickly surveyed, choosing a few remote locations, near the edge of the platform, where the continuous magic traps were situated, and inserted the four battle banners accordingly.

Once the four battle banners were inserted, they transformed into magic energy, slowly dissipating.

At the same time, the magical glow above the four trap grids faded, entering a "ready for activation" silent mode, making the traps invisible to the naked eye.

Moreover, given the priority of these magic spells, those Awakened Major Generals definitely couldn’t perceive them.
