"Waldo? That’s really great!"

"As everyone knows, Waldo’s current fortune is the richest. After all, he is the son of the system and receives extra income every day!"

Some challengers, taking pleasure in others’ misfortune, sneered: "Unfortunately, times have changed."

"Whoever has more supplies becomes the prey."

"Even if he is not first on the black list, many challengers will fight over his resources. As long as the number of kills increases, he will eventually top the black list!"

...

The rules of the system are crystal clear.

As long as you kill more than two people, you will become a wanted criminal.

That is to say, whether you kill a wanted criminal, a challenger on the black list, or an ordinary

challenger, killing two people will eventually make you a criminal.

As time goes by, ordinary challengers will kill for resources or self-protection, becoming new criminals!

This is a big trap set by the system!

Dragging all challengers into the pit!

An endless slaughter will start from this day.

All challengers are just insignificant members in the vast Binder sea.

They can only drift with the tide and willingly become pawns.

And they actively jump into the pit.

Only by doing so, they might become stronger and break free from the chessboard!

...

Under everyone’s attention.

A huge black list appears in the sight of every challenger, falling from the sky.

The situation is turbulent, like a huge banana fan!

One name after another appears on it!

[Black List 10th: Li Yunfei!]

[Black List 9th: Endless!]

[Black List 7th: Tiger Thomas!]

[Black List 6th: Igawa Yamashita!]

...

One by one, huge and very dazzling names climb onto the black list.

"Li Yunfei? I know him! We were in the same dark place before, and we had cooperated. He is a very trustworthy person, kind to others. I didn’t expect him to be on the black list!"

A challenger exclaimed in shock, hardly believing it.

"It seems that in recent times, he must have suffered a lot from other challengers’ targeting. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone on such a killing spree!"

"Igawa Yamashita? As expected, that guy is here! He is really hateful. Just the day before yesterday, I was almost killed by this kid if it hadn’t been for my promotion!"

"Is that Endless? The Endless I know?"

Exclamations of surprise echoed in various places of the chessboard world.

Many recognized the existences on the black list, feeling utterly astonished.

Some of them, logically speaking, shouldn’t have made it onto the list.

Yet, they incredibly made it onto the black list.

Amid countless astonished gazes, names were gradually revealed.

The higher the ranking, the more anticipation it generated.

[Black List 5th: Invincible!]

[Black List 4th: Kongming!]

[Black List 3rd: King of Thunder!]

...

"I’m on the black list?"

In a swampy area, a challenger, filthy all over, struggled to find a foothold in the swamp, trying to maintain balance.

To prevent sinking into the marshy ground.

This was an endless swamp.

Once trapped, it was almost certainly a fatal outcome.

He was unlucky to have ended up in such a place.

However, the swamp was not entirely a dead end.

Relying on a plank he had found, he barely stabilized his posture.

At this moment, he looked at his name in the fourth place on the huge black list in shock and confusion!

"Damn it! I don’t get it! How did a small fry like me get on the black list? This is the black list, for crying out loud!"

"The most I’ve personally killed is three people, at most a wanted criminal. How did I get on the black list? And ranked fourth? Is this list too lenient?"

Kongming was utterly baffled.

This result was far beyond his expectations and hard for him to accept.

He was very aware of his own abilities.

It was impossible for him to be on the black list.

Those on the black list could easily crush him without effort.

"How did I get on the black list?"

Kongming was completely stupefied.

For him, this was no honor at all!

Do you think being on the black list is something to show off?

Indeed, it grabs a lot of attention, with the entire chessboard world knowing you.

But this is not a list of honor; it’s a death list!

With his abilities, he would be devoured by the fierce challengers in minutes!

"It’s over! With my strength, I’ll be killed in minutes for the reward!"

Kongming’s face was filled with despair.

He had already guessed his fate.

"How did I get on the black list?"

"Could it be that the deaths of other challengers who fell into this swamp with me yesterday are all blamed on me?"

Kongming suddenly thought of the bizarre incident that happened yesterday.

At that time yesterday, he was incredibly unlucky.

Among six cells, he ended up in this swamp area.

Then, something strange happened.

Shortly after he entered this world, he saw four or five equally unfortunate challengers appear before him.

According to the system’s rules, once challengers meet, they are forcibly moved to one of their cells.

As a result...

In a swamp area, if there isn’t something with a large surface area like a plank to distribute the force, you’ll sink quickly.

Those five weren’t as lucky as Kongming, having neither planks nor anything else, and they were about to be swallowed by the swamp.

So, they frantically tried to snatch Kongming’s plank.

The result was clear; none of them were a match for him.

They were all buried there!

"Could it be that their deaths are also counted as my kills?"

After realizing this, Kongming was bewildered and somewhat despairing.

...

"I’m on the black list? Interesting, and I’m only in third place. There are actually two challengers who have killed more people than me."

In another cell, on a Tai Chi square, the yin-yang fish was enormous, filled with the aura of Taoism.

Two bodies of challengers lay on the ground.

Intestines, organs, and blood were scattered everywhere.

A figure, extremely burly like a warrior who had battled through many fields, with a murderous aura, eyes fierce as a tiger, and brimming with vitality, stared intently at the huge black list.

He was Cole, ranked third on the black list.

He originally thought that, with his fighting power and the number of people he had killed, he should be second only to Waldo, the so-called son of the system, not third!

"Interesting, it seems there are capable people out there!"

Cole licked his crimson lips, his eyes sparkling with a dark light.

Unlike most challengers, he was someone who extremely enjoyed killing and found pleasure in battle.

For him, fighting and killing were as simple as eating and drinking.

The process of killing was a kind of ultimate spiritual pleasure.

Therefore, being on the black list was exactly what he hoped for and desired.

"The first place must be Waldo, no doubt about that. But who could be second?"

Cole’s gaze was sharp and focused, intently staring at the black list.

The light converged on it, and the name of the second-ranked person on the black list was slowly appearing.
