Chapter 64: The Survival Game
Liu Yan heard the sound and saw a man who looked like Hu Banxian, there is no doubt that this is the goblin who is half human and half fox, everything is arranged by fate.
Hu Banxian was dragged into the room by Liu Yanzhi, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, but he didn't turn into a fox and escaped, but nervously kept justifying: "I don't have money, I don't have a elixir." ”
It turns out that Hu Banxian's real name is Hu Song, he was originally a statistician of an insurance company, because of the failure of the investment led to bankruptcy, his wife was separated, and his job was lost, and now he is a small clerk of Café de Coral, living alone in this building, worrying every day, afraid of being harassed by evil neighbors, although he has no money, but the genes and organs on his body are still valuable, and in the black market trading, organ trading has always been the most prosperous.
Liu Yanzhi patted Hu Banxian on the shoulder to show comfort: "Don't worry, we won't harm you, what exactly do you do in the casino?" ”
"Webmaster, I am the webmaster of the casino brain network, responsible for sending real-time updates to gamblers all over the world." Hu Song said.
"That's you!" Liu Yanzhi lifted Hu Song, who was paralyzed on the ground, up, "Defeat Ji Yuqian, you are an indispensable link." ”
"You're crazy...... Hu Song became more and more sure that these people were not normal.
……
Café de Coral Super Casino is a chain enterprise all over the world, mainly engaged in the gaming industry, the gaming industry and the entertainment industry in this era are inseparable, there are mainly several forms, cage fighting, super track and survival games.
As the name suggests, a cage fight is a life-and-death gladiatorial fight in a limited space, similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome, where the two sides of the game can be human, half-orc, or any demon, regardless of rank and type, without any restrictions.
The Super Circuit is a large-scale, formal form of competitive entertainment, with a large arena similar to that of the F1 arena, where the competitors ride in a variety of bizarre vehicles and fight fiercely to the finish line at the same time, this kind of race is often determined by high-tech equipment and genetic weapons, there are large companies behind the sponsorship of the platform, full of advertisements and sponsors' names, and the champion wins huge prizes and a lot of endorsements.
The third kind of survival game has a bigger scene, the rules are more cruel, it can be a wasteland, it can be an island, it can be a ruin, more than ten players fight each other in groups, they are not allowed to surrender, either they are all destroyed, or they all win, this is also the most beloved entertainment of human beings in the world, the audience watches the game from the first perspective in the brain network, shares the fate with the players, chooses which player to use which player's perspective, and bets, wins and becomes rich overnight, and loses all the money.
These are all information that Liu Yanzhi has thoroughly researched, the casino system is all over the world, covering a huge number of people, and has a unique first-person viewing system, which is exactly what he needs, but he has never had time to contact the people in the casino.
Early the next morning, Liu Yanzhi and others took the rail transit into the greater city of Shanghai, which is completely different from the gray and dilapidated slums in the suburbs, where the high-rise buildings with glass curtain walls and the staggered and complex floating rail cars build a magnificent picture of the future city, although it cannot be compared with the heavenly court, it is also the most prosperous colony.
Located in a building on the riverside, Café de Coral Super Casino is not a traditional casino, but more like an Internet company, with a post-modernist architectural style, with a constant stream of people coming in and out, some of them staff, and more of them are competitors who come to sign up.
Survival games are the hottest entertainment, and the winner is often not the strongest team, sometimes a wise leader, a woman who is good at inciting and cheering, is the key to victory, so the choice is important.
In three days, the global entertainment company will release the most shocking survival game in recent years, super big production, big lineup, big scene, the number of game participants exceeds 1,000 people, composed of 100 teams, including the champion team of the first 10 survival games, so it is destined to be exciting and intense, as for other teams, it is not excluded that the dark horse appears, after all, winning is super rich, in this era of living and not knowing why, it is the best choice to risk your life to fight.
The organizers have no restrictions on the contestants, whether you are a mutant or a genetic shell, or a descendant of a resister with no official identity, as long as you can catch your breath and volunteer to sign up, you can participate in this human event.
Standing in the bustling crowd of demons and monsters, the party patriot had a whim: "Guys, do you think this doesn't look like the registration site of the Avenue of Stars?" ”
Everyone laughed dumbly, this is a stalk that only they can understand.
Finally, it was their turn to sign up, and the participating teams could be freely combined, with a cap of ten people, Liu Yanzhi's team included Liu Handong, Dang Aiguo, Guan Lu and Zhen Yue, and also declared a pet assistance project, all the names are made up.
In the introducer column, Liu Yan directly filled in Hu Song's name, so that if they won, Hu Song would also get a generous prize.
"Bet all your money on us and make sure you get rich." Liu Yanzhi said to Hu Song.
Hu Song smiled bitterly: "You won't win, you will be killed in the first round, although I am only a small staff, but I also know some insiders." ”
"Like what?"
"It's more shady than you can imagine." Hu Song lowered his voice and said, "Those champion teams have the support of the big chaebols and even the gods of the heavenly court behind them, and the interests are complicated. ”
In the sky outside, there is a huge holographic virtual image poster, the image of the previous champions and their list of honors, a string of blood-red numbers represents the number of people they killed, every previous contestant is a devil killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, they have long lost their original names, replaced by a variety of famous code names, such as "Devil Butcher", "Final Killer", "Head Harvester", "Bloodthirsty" such cruel and ruthless, as well as "Eternal King", "God of War", "Genghis Khan" In this way, the image of the champions has been created by a professional team, wearing special armor and robes, majestic and incredible.
"Remember, bet on me to win." Liu Yanzhi told Hu Song again.
……
Three days later, the survival game officially began, and all the contestants came to the departure site designated by the entertainment company, unlike last time, this time the contestants all wore their outfits, brought weapons, and even more demons danced, black smoke miasma, among the many demons and murderers, there are also many people who look ordinary, they are real cannon fodder, and they will die in the first round of killings, but they die without regrets, and dying in the game is much better than dying silently like a mouse.
Each fighter wears sensors and transmitters so that a global audience can see the entire killing battlefield through their eyes, experience the thrill of a sharp blade slashing through the throat of an enemy, and the adrenaline rush of a sharp blade through the throat of the enemy, of course, this has to be the right character, if you unfortunately choose a cannon fodder, you can only experience the fear and despair of being slaughtered.
The world's gambling companies have opened, according to the strength and qualifications of the players, the odds are different, Liu Yanzhi's group of names is very domineering, called the God Killing Squad, but basically no one bets on them to win, except for some gamblers who immediately bet on the delusional hope of catching the dark horse.
Each group of contestants entered the drop box and was taken to the competition site by large gyroplanes, the colony did not allow the existence of flying machines, these gyroplanes were specially approved by the Heavenly Court, specially used for survival games, the rulers of the Divine Domain had good intentions, hoping to relieve the growing pressure of human existence with this bloody and cruel game, make them fascinated, make them crazy, let them indulge in it, and they would not think about the philosophical question of why they lived.
After a short airlift time, a hundred drop boxes fell, and under the cushioning force of the parachute, they fell to the ground, the hatch opened, and the members of the god-killing team walked out.
The four fields are vast, and the yellow artemisia grass is as tall as a person, and there is no edge in sight, and no one knows what kind of place this is.
"This should be Chongming Island." Liu Yan said straightly, "Let's start the Far Island Survival Game." ”
Liu Handong touched his arm: "Brother Zhi, it seems that we are not very lucky." ”
Liu Yan turned his head to look, less than two hundred meters away from them, there was an airdrop box that had just been opened, and out of it was the "Head Harvester" team, these people were extremely strong, embroidered and tattooed all over their bodies, extremely hideous, holding steel axes and chain saws, and also using iron chains to lead three mastiffs slightly smaller than lions, and the bloody mouth erupted with a fishy smell, which could be smelled from so far away, it was the smell of rotten meat.
"It's over, they're dead." Hu Song, who used Liu Yan's direct perspective to watch the progress of the game, sighed and turned off the information transmission, he is the administrator of the brain network, and he can switch the game perspective at will, and he just doesn't want to experience the feeling of being killed.
The excitement of the survival game is inseparable from the gold medal commentator, and on the big screen in the general control room, the two commentators are foaming at the mouth to explain the game.
"The most unfortunate thing is the god killer team, this is a rookie team of three men and two women, unfortunately their landing site is too far from the woods, too close to death, two hundred meters away is the head harvester team, if nothing else, five minutes later the head harvester team will add five numbers to the credit book, and so on...... What we saw! The god-killing team released a pet, a cute little monkey, no! It's a killer monkey! A killer monkey who can use a stick! ”
Hu Song looked up, and on the huge holographic screen outside, the image of the "Head Harvester" team was hit with a bright red fork, and then turned gray and black, which meant that the team was completely wiped out.
