Chapter 25: The Eve of the Great War

The whole venue exuded a strong smell of gunpowder and gun oil, mixed with the smell of hormones, which caused a wave of heat to rise in the scene, and the frenzied atmosphere could be smelled for several kilometers.

This is a feast of enthusiasm, whether it is for the contestants or the audience, for the contestants this is the ring where they can compete with their opponents, for the audience, the top masters are fighting in front of them - maybe not the right catch, but just comprehend the spirit, the top masters perform live, think about eating chicken~

Ye Chi sat on a bench in the park outside the venue, retrieving his equipment.

His main direction is the assaulter, so the rifle is his main weapon and he didn't run, naturally it is the 95-1 he is most familiar with, the top is still the old ACOG, and the bottom is the non-mainstream lower hanging shotgun bullet gun, the perfect weight design allows the center of gravity to almost move forward to the geometric center of the gun with the small grip slightly behind, which is quite a handy design.

The secondary weapon is a clean whiteboard 92, 5.8mm caliber, which has a considerable threat to the three-level body armor, not to mention the mainstream three-A level, which is basically the rhythm of the gun wearing, and the 5.8mm caliber can reduce the mass of the bolt, and accelerate the rebound speed virtually accelerates the rate of fire of the pistol - SMG has a very high rate of fire in fact.

Ye Chi's skills in using pistols are actually more proficient than rifles, after all, pistols are better and easier to conceal than rifles - in addition, there is only one shot for each member of the rifle team plus one guard sentry in the entire embassy, and the rest are all strategic reserves, there is no more, bullets and guns are counted, and there are not too many resources for him to practice.

The pistol is different, no matter how big or small the military attache is, after all, the pistol is sometimes a symbol of status and a soldier's pistol, and the source of the bullet is also guaranteed.

Moreover, the Type 92 has a 9mm version, and the source of bullets can be easily replenished on the spot.

Contrary to ordinary soldiers, the number of shots of his pistol is much higher than that of a rifle, or even several times the increase, and the underground space of the embassy is limited, the range of the rifle is often three or four hundred meters and the kinetic energy is too strong to hit a target in the embassy, other technical and tactical training cannot be performed at all, the pistol tactics are much better, good shooters are fed by bullets, plus Ye Chi himself is amazingly talented, so when using a pistol, he may be even more deadly.

In several key battles, he simply did not carry a spear and relied on a pistol to defeat the enemy.

The rest is the big killer, the strong interaction force straight knife, the final upgrade of the single-molecule cutting knife, relying on the strong magnetic field confined protons to form the blade, starship alloy as the blade, in terms of cold weapons alone perfect - just a little shorter.

The rest is other equipment, all kinds of grenades that he likes to see, fragmented ions, and EMPs, as well as flash shock grenades, plus smoke grenades, a whole grenade pack of a total of 8 pieces occupy the four hardpoints on his belt - not as bad as in the game where you can get stronger by just recharging.

There were eight anchors on his belt, two of which were short knives, and the remaining two contained something indescribable.

There is also an assault backpack on the back, and it looks like a small backpack that is not much larger than a cycling bag contains other indescribable things, and it is firmly locked on the body with a nylon lock.

He closed his equipment doll and looked at Kirito on the side, "You're here?" Not ready to prepare? Why are you here so early? There's still more than three hours to go. ”

"Aren't you here too...... What do I prepare, I won't use anything else, it's enough to have a sword in my hand and a gun in my waist, and it won't be of much use to give me anything else, so I can't blow myself up. ”

"Damn, don't tell me you haven't dabbled in FPS or TPS before?"

Ye Chi squinted at Kirito who was fiddling with his fluorescent tube - a frowning look, pink lips, frowning eyebrows, long hair fluttering - but he was a man.

The unisex style of the combat uniform fits well – but he's a man.

The lightsaber-wielding figure is heroicβ€”but he's a man.

He's fine-tuning his lightsaber - but he's a man.

Lucifer β™‚ β™‚ is smiling at you~

Ye Chi hurriedly looked at his nose and nose, and silently recited Asuna's name in his heart - this guy is too lethal.

And then he looks very unconscious, and even really has a tendency to be a mother - will the external image really cause the error of the self's cognition?

Ye Chi hurriedly moved out and stayed away from him.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After meeting Kyoji, who is also a friend of his classmates and friends, and his comrade-in-arms "Mirror (Sgebel)" in the game, Shino has mixed feelings.

He didn't think of himself as a "Shino" at all, he still regarded himself as "Shino Aada", he didn't think there was any difference between the two, he just regarded himself as a "weak girl with another side".

But the fact is that "Shino Asada" is not her real side for her, it is an illusion she constructed in order not to cause trouble, and this girl in the game, like a lynx, is her real self, and Shina's personality is better than what she wants to get rid of.

"I actually like this......" Shino smiled helplessly, "Could it be that my attitude made him misunderstand?" ”

It's hard......

"Shino!" Just as she was in perplexity, a call from the side pulled her back to reality - or rather, to the unreal?

Those two guys......

One is...... Disguised as a girl, she still wields a cold weapon in the world of gunfights - no, how can the ion sword be out of the category of cold weapons, a heresy wielding a long sword...... I almost followed her into the same locker room.

The other one is a little better, but it's also a weird guy who likes melee combat, and obviously has that kind of talent......

When the girl thought of this, she didn't notice that she was a little jealous.

…… But he always likes to solve problems with knives. And he likes to go against the player, and he actually became the most advanced black dog...... (Executive Agent)

These two guys are so out of place in this world, but they are a mess.

The girl was in a trance for a moment, but quickly adjusted, and pulled her scarf a little to hide her gaffe, "It's you again...... What's up? ”

"What's that...... Exchange information...... What the hell......" Kirito's expression was a little stiff...... This is so shameless, it's just a simple cheekiness to ask people for information......

"Okay. Anyway, I must have told you all kinds of information unilaterally - that's it! ”

"Unfortunately, it seems...... That's it......" Kirito said embarrassedly......

"I'm sorry to trouble you again......" Ye Chi looked as usual - just thick-skinned.

"Okay, then I'll wait until I'm done registering first......" "Wow!"

"You ......," the girl looked at the two of them whose faces had changed drastically, "I don't even know that there is such a thing as signing up!" ”

Application...... What is it?

It's really just a sign up...... Prove that you really want to participate and don't shrink your eggs, but if you don't sign up, you really shrink your ......

Almost got off the ......

But it's time, but it's no problem.

After calmly completing the registration process using the machine on the first floor of the presidential palace hall, Shino took them to the vast hotel area on the first basement floor. As the ambient lighting is kept to a minimum, the faces of the players gathered in front of the tables are barely visible. Only a few large panel screens set up in the ceiling reflect dazzling images in primary colors.

Shino walked to the box seat in the depths and sat down, then looked at the simple sheet metal drink list and pressed the small button next to the words Iced Coffee. Then, a hole opened in the center of the same metal table, and a cup filled with black liquid appeared from inside. Compared to the Ayn Grant restaurant, where you have to order food from NPCs and have them deliver it, this system is quite simple, but it does fit the atmosphere of the GGO game.

Ye Chi chose a very Japanese-style marble soda, while Kiritto chose ginger ale.

Ye Chi took a sip of it hard, and the faint sweetness and lemon flavor mixed with bubbles spread in his mouth - the taste system seems to have been upgraded again, and it is already similar to the taste of SAO, and the reason why the taste sense is strong in SAO is mainly because of the power of people's helmets......

Before you know it...... VR is also undergoing a technological transformation......

Ye Chi was walking here, and Shi Nong had already talked about it over there.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Basically, as the email just said, the last final was a encounter between thirty contestants on the same map. Although the starting position is determined by a random number, each player will be at least 1,000 meters away, so there will be no enemies suddenly appearing in front of them. ”

"But this time the total number of players has doubled, and the map should be enlarged in equal proportions, but the basic settings will not change much, although the per capita area has not changed, but players will not obediently stay in place, in fact, the battle should be much more intense than last time, right?"

Ye Chi thought so, if the intensity of the battle was listed as a function, the number of players would be one of the variables, and its index would definitely not be less than 2.

Even if you start with more players, it feels like you'll have a lot fewer people left than you did last time β€” proportionally, of course.

However, as time goes on, the difference between the two numbers should become smaller and smaller, and finally it should be close to the value of the previous time.

Is it a convergent function......

"Circular island with a radius of 14 km...... There are compound stages in various terrains, so it is possible to ensure that there are not too many balance problems. ”

"14 km...... Root number 2? It's about 600 square kilometers...... It's already the size of a medium-sized city...... At least downtown, right? Ye Chi suddenly interjected.

"That's a big deal...... Can this really be an opponent? I wonder I won't be able to see anyone until the time of the conference......"

"It's a game where you use guns to attack each other, so you have to use such a wide map. For example, a sniper rifle has a range of about one kilometer, and an assault rifle has a range of about 500 meters. If you crammed all 30 people into a narrow map, everyone would shoot like crazy at the start of the match, and more than half of the participants would be killed in no time. ”

"But it does happen when there are fewer people...... As you said, you can't start a fight if you don't meet your opponent. And there will be guys who take advantage of this in turn and plan to hide until the last one else shows up. Therefore, participants will automatically have a prop called "Satellite Scanner Receiver". ”

"GPS?"

"This one does have a GPS function...... However, the biggest function of this terminal is that the surveillance system is set to have surveillance satellites pass over the sky every 15 minutes. At this point, all receivers will receive the locations of all players on the map. And if you touch a flashing point of light on the map, the player's name will be displayed. ”

"Hmm...... In short, the upper limit of hiding in one place is fifteen minutes? If your location appears on the map, you may be attacked at any time......" Kirito muttered.

However, Ye Chi had some other ideas...... [Since it is a spy satellite...... So as long as there is a shelter on the head, it is undetectable? …… No, that shelter has to be tight enough, if it's a canopy, maybe there's thermal imaging or something......]

[If it's really just a simple tag of all players' names on it......]

[Probably not...... This company has produced a lot of war games...... or something, there should be some left, right? 】

"But isn't this kind of rule bad for snipers? Isn't your job to hide in cover like a sweet potato and keep aiming your sniper rifle at the enemy? ”

"Like a sweet potato is superfluous." Ye Chi and Shi Nong shouted at the same time.

"What are you mixing with? You assaulter! ”

"Who was I defeated in a sniper duel?"

"That's your unruly! Sniper thing...... Sniper...... How can you use melee combat......" The girl's cold voice revealed a void in her heart.

"Madam, your whole body is empty......"

"Fifteen minutes is enough for me to kill a person with one bullet and move another kilometer." Shino decided to ignore him......

However, Shino said that this is really feasible, and if it is a seasoned guy, he may set a trap based on it...... I have to guard against it.

"Well, that is, once the fight starts, you have to keep moving to search for and knock out your opponent, and then hold out until you're alone...... Is that so? And every fifteen minutes, the map device at hand will show the location of all the staff. Then we will know who is still alive - is there anything wrong with my understanding? Kirito scratched his head and asked cautiously.

"Roughly yes."

Shino nodded in the affirmative and drank all the iced coffee in the cup, and forcefully put the cup back on the table to get up.

"So, are you alright? The next time I see you, I'll pull the trigger mercilessly......"

"Hashito sacks!" Ye Chi's voice made her pause.

"The show is only coming now." Ye Chi also drained the soda in one gulp and put the bottle on the table, "Among these 60 people, how many do you not know?" ”

"Acquaintance? I'm mostly on my own, and I don't team up a lot of times once in a while" - and you killed me once.

"No, no, no, I mean, I've never heard of it, dark horses or something."

"Oh...... Kirito and Livings Dylay. ”

"Except for ours! And just call me Levy. ”

"Hmm......" The girl fiddled with the list with a pensive expression. What a strange request...... These are a few. She highlighted several people in that list, and with a flick of her fingers, the list was presented in front of Ye Chi and Kirito.

"'Gunslinger X' and 'PaleRider', and then there'...... This "'Sterben'?"

"Migrant Soldiers...... And 'ShiningFinger'? Who are these people...... "Ye Chi leaned aside, a total of 5 people...... However, the suspicion of others cannot be ruled out......"

If nothing else, one of these five people will be a one-time target.

"Suspicious?" Girl, you have found a blind spot......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm really going to be angry. What exactly are you working on? Are all these conversations designed to make me angry and then make me go wrong in the finals? ”

"No...... Don't you need it at all (whisper)" Ye Chi muttered almost inaudibly......

"What?!" Even if she didn't hear the girl's instincts, she glared angrily.

"No, no, no, nothing...... It's not easy to tell you about this......"

Tell her about the "dead gun"? No, not involving unrelated people in incidents is one of the unspoken rules of paramilitary operations, even two-dimensional operations.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Could it be that this has something to do with the sudden change in your face during the preliminaries yesterday? ”

"......" Ye Chi opened his mouth, "It's like this......"

He exchanged a look with Kirito.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well...... That's right. Yesterday in the underground standby dome, I was suddenly stopped by the guy who used to play the same VRMMO...... I think he's going to be in today's final. I'm afraid that one of the five players just now is him......"

"You are...... Friends? ”

"Enemy." "It's a sworn enemy." The two of them said calmly.

"The guy who escaped with my hands...... This time, I want to come out again, make waves, and harm people's lives......" Ye Chi suddenly closed his mouth.

"I'm going to have to kill ...... Stop him. That's all I can say in the end.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I want to kill the other party...... Enemy ......," the girl groaned, and then asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito...... Is it because of a disagreement in the gameplay or a dispute when forming a team? Or ......"

"It's a fight to the death on human dignity, a death fight with real lives." Ye Chi's voice was harsh and cold.

"I, we can't run away, because this is caused by our momentary soft-heartedness, and this is our responsibility."

"This is a necessary evil." Ye Chi suddenly wanted to change the atmosphere of the same middle two came to such a sentence, but it seemed to be completely useless.

"-'If your bullets can really kill players in the real world, can you also deduct the board without hesitation?'......" This is what Ye Chi said.

"If it was to protect what I hold dear, I would." Ye Chi's answer didn't change at all.

"You ...... Is it in "that game"............ I'm sorry. I shouldn't ask that kind of question. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ No, it doesn't matter. ”

"It's time to make a break with this cause and effect."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After playing the game, I got a full understanding of drawing women and saying that men were forced......

The next outline, which was originally set at a pace, has been changed by magic......

But it's useless, and I can't open it until the book is finished......

According to the Stone Gate, the world line of this world still has to be confined to the previous world line, after all, for this world, that line is the world line of the True Destiny Stone Gate, and it is a relatively happy ending.

The truth is that if the world line is not tightened, it will collapse.

In short, if I continue to open my mind, I can't make it up......
