Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

”Exactly! It’s just like the Logging Realm selection in Xia City earlier. The preliminary round tests not only strength but also brains and luck.”

”The key is that we can also collect some Cold Beasts for free. At 300 Intermediate Cold Beasts per night for 45 days, that adds up to 13,500 beasts.”

”Hahaha, it may not compare to 30 million taels of silver, but it does help to recoup some costs.”

”When the competition ends, our exploration progress of Beining Mountain will rise significantly. Wouldn’t this be killing three birds with one stone?”

”Lord Yuan, you’ve done well!”

......

Looking at Yuan Shan, Lin Kai couldn’t help but show approval. Yuan Shan’s selection method was indeed quite good, no wonder it was adopted by Li Longkai.

Every year, the martial arts competitions are supposed to involve all Eight Departments, but it’s mainly funded and organized by the Camp Supply Department, which is why in Hongmen, Li Longkai is the one who makes the final decisions on all aspects of the competition.

Lin Kai turned to Li Longkai and continued to ask: ”According to Yuan Shan’s plan, approximately 13,500 people, with over 5,000 in the youth group and over 8,000 in the adult group, will advance to the secondary round. The secondary round lasts only 15 days. What is the specific competition format?”

Li Longkai immediately cupped his hands and said: ”The secondary round won’t involve hunting. I plan to use a timed arena format for both groups, giving each participant five opportunities. The first 1,000 people to achieve five consecutive wins with the shortest time will advance to the finals. We should be able to finish the competition within 15 days.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Kai nodded. This timed arena format was adopted in the first martial arts competition of Great Xia in its second year. It’s a screening mechanism that can quickly discern strengths compared to slow one-on-one matches.

”Between the two formats, the preliminary round seems riskier?”

Li Longkai immediately cupped his hands and nodded: ”Don’t worry, Sir. I’ve already discussed it with Director Yuan and Commander Liu. During the one and a half months of preliminaries, the Cloud Jiao and Dragon Slayer armies will rotate patrolling the outskirts of Beining Mountain. Firstly, to maintain order and ensure fair competition; secondly, to intervene in extreme situations and rescue participants, preventing excessive casualties...”
