The re
“Rocky, your thought isn’t wrong, but this time’s opponent is different,” said Liliya, shaking her head with resignation. She then handed a file to him, “Your opponent’s name is Ober, and he’s no insignificant figure.”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Rocky looked curiously at the information in his hand, first noticing a photograph.
In the photo was a man in his thirties, with a buzz cut, a square face, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly upward, revealing an uncomfortable smile. This man was his opponent, Ober, who was thirty-three years old and had a fourth-generation Special Armor. He had officially begun participating in Arena matches a year ago and had participated in at least three to five matches every month since winning the preliminary competition.
As mentioned before, due to the point-based Rank system used by the Arena, contestants can keep participating in matches regardless of winning or losing, which led to the emergence of a considerable number of players who live off Arena matches. Clearly, Ober was one of them.
However, when Rocky saw Ober’s information, he couldn’t help but frown. Something seemed off about these details, right?
According to the data, Ober started participating in Arena competitions a year ago and has been competing in at least three to five matches per month. That means he must have participated in at least thirty to fifty Rank matches!
Having competed in so many matches, how is he only Fourteen-rank?
Liliya had just finished explaining that advancing in Ranks in the Arena isn’t as difficult as imagined, especially at the lower Ranks. As long as one can maintain a win rate of 50%, no, even just over 40%, thirty to fifty matches should be enough to elevate a contestant to around Ten-rank. So, what’s the deal with Ober? How could his Rank remain so low after participating in so many competitions?
With this thought, Rocky realized something was amiss and immediately looked further into the document. This further examination left him even more puzzled.
The information Liliya had given him had cost five hundred gold coins from the Shadow Alliance and was therefore highly detailed. It included not just the number of matches Ober participated in but also his win rate.
But the baffling part lay exactly there—Ober’s win rate was astonishingly high!
He had taken part in fifty-six matches and won forty-nine of them, losing only seven. This brought his win rate to an impressive 87%!
This fact struck Rocky as incredibly strange. With such a high win rate, why was Ober’s Rank only Fourteen-rank?
“What’s going on here?”
At this point, Rocky couldn’t help but look up and turn to Liliya.
“It’s because of cheating.”
“What?”
“Ober could win the majority of his matches with absolute superiority, but whenever his opponents surrendered, he would kill them,” Liliya explained.
“Kill the opponents after they surrendered? Aren’t such actions forbidden in the Arena?”
Rocky asked, his eyebrows furrowing as he turned to Liliya.
“Indeed they are forbidden. If someone does that, not only will their victory points be deducted, but their reward will also be halved, and they will be disqualified from competing for the seasonal championship,” she replied with a nod.
But then she spoke helplessly,
“However, Ober clearly doesn’t care about these penalties. He’s deliberately using rule-breaking to suppress his Rank, allowing him to stay in the competitions for lower Ranks. In this way, he can not only continuously face lower-level opponents but his prize money isn’t much affected either. After all, even if he only wins half the prize money per match, if the number of wins is high enough, it’s still a significant amount.”
“So Ober is quite notorious in the Arena and even has a widely known nickname…”
“The Rookie Killer—Ober!”
