Meanwhile.

On the square in West Greenwich, many onlookers are looking at the large screen in the center of the square.

These large screens show footage of the checkpoints set up at the first stage of the fixture.

On the main roads, the Atlas consortium set up a number of manual checkpoints to film the ranking of the contestants, and the situation at these checkpoints was faithfully reflected on the big screen.

On the rostrum of the square, two commentators are briefly explaining the current situation of the game.

“...... We can see that the current first pick is Thomas Clement, worthy of the master of field driving, Clemen, like driving on flat ground, he does not seem to be looking for the appearance of game eggs, but relies on his own driving skills to take the lead and gallop on the barren field! ”

"Ten minutes behind Clemen were the three Helmheim racers, who formed a triangular formation that made it difficult for the cars behind them to break through, and the runners who were blocked were Vessarion Jurievich from the far north and Manfred Dannay from the far west, one of the most famous racers in the far north, and the other a well-known detective from the west, who were in hot pursuit, forming the second echelon with the three cars in front."

"The third echelon is fifteen minutes behind the second echelon, and about twelve vehicles, including Remington Alto, who is promoting its own new car this time, make up the third echelon."

"What is surprising is that Alexander Baplovich, who has attracted the most attention before, is both a royal member of the Far North and an abyss hunter, so it stands to reason that he should be very easy on this wasteland, it seems that he is looking for one of the ten hidden treasures in an attempt to get higher points?"

"Ah, appeared, appeared, in the checkpoint closest to the starting point, we saw Wu Yong of Zhuxia Heavy Industries, although he was late, but in his car, we saw a wooden box with a rustic shape, it was a box, Wu Yong was originally looking for treasures, he found one of the treasures, which means that he has at least five points, and from the current position, he still has the strength to compete for the stage championship!"

On the screen, all kinds of cars are speeding across the wasteland, and at the same time, some strange vehicles also attract the attention of the narrator.

“...... Look, you just passed through the first checkpoint, is this a wheelbarrow? It's a wheelbarrow, I'll look at the information...... This contestant did not register his real name, but participated in the competition under the name of "Le Zi Ren", and he actually rode a wheelbarrow through the wilderness, and is currently ranked 404th, which is really admirable! ”

"Hey, how come there are still couriers from Panda Logistics participating in the competition, is this some kind of role-playing? Let's take a look at the data, uh, he seems to have decided to participate on an impromptu basis, Luke from Panda Logistics, who is currently in the 531st pick. ”

"Ah, we've seen that some players have sent out distress signals, and it seems that there is a problem on the road, although the first stage of the race is shorter and not so dangerous, but accidents always happen."

"Look, that's, that's Aleksandar Baplovich, he's at the 562nd pick, which is a bad position, and he looks very serious, he doesn't seem to be in good shape."

"However, the past order of the first checkpoint does not mean everything, the first stage is still close to 200 kilometers, and continuing to move forward, our first echelon of participants will soon encounter the first hurdle of this [marathon], which is the gravel belt!"

The map of the first stage of the race is shown on the big screen, and it can be seen that in front of the current first echelon, there is a section of the Gobi Desert covered with gravel and gravel, which is different from the previous barren but still green grass and bushes, and this section of more than 20 kilometers of the area is in extremely poor road conditions, and it is also the most test of driving skills.

If you go too fast, the pressure on the tyres from the gravel will increase, which can easily lead to accidents, but if you drive too slowly, the 20km journey will undoubtedly become an ordeal and you will lose your previous position.

However, if you can't even cross this gravel belt, there is no doubt that it will be difficult to continue the [marathon] after that.

The long-awaited first hurdle is approaching the contestants!

...

...

Alexander Paplovich was in a bad mood.

He had thought he had succeeded in getting his hands on the treasure, a transcendent item in the form of a sheet of metal.

But when Paplovich drove away and confirmed it later, he found that the piece of metal in his arms had turned into a clown's playing card!

"What the hell is ...... method?"

There is no doubt that with a little thought, Baplovich knew that in the process of arguing with the ascendant just now, he did not actually win, but was calculated by the other party.

The ability to do whatever you want within the realm of others is terrifying.

For those who have [Domain], within [Domain] is their own kingdom, which is their most basic ability, and it is also the hole card they rely on for their livelihood.

Just imagine, if Baplovich entered his realm with confidence, and at this time, the ascended person just now suddenly appeared behind him to assassinate, then Baplovich would probably have died several times.

This extremely special power deserves Baplovich's attention.

"The order is already too far behind, and the next treasure looks like it's going to be given up for the time being."

After seeing the metal sheet just now, Baplovich already knew the origin of this thing, presumably a transcendent item made by an abyss relic, and most of the treasures in the first stage are estimated to be these, which is not a reward, but a hint, a hint to the upgrader.

Hinting at Baplovich and others, the real purpose of this [marathon].

"Does Atlas want to make gods too......"

Thinking of what had happened in the Pan-Western Sea before, Baplovich thought thoughtfully.

"What my father said seems to be true, the world is speeding towards the end, and only by becoming a god can you have a chance to save ...... Father, brother, I will prove it to you. ”

He tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

If we talk about the life of Alexander Baplovich, the royal family and nobles of the Far North must be a hurdle that cannot be crossed.

But royalty is not an uncommon thing in the Far North.

Pavlovich's father was the younger brother of the emperor of the Far North, but he was born to his father and a servant, and did not recognize his father until he reached adulthood.

He has no inheritance rights and little future in politics, and the best way out is to join the Abyssal Watchers and watch over the eroded Extreme North.

But Baplovich did not choose this path, he was already a well-known abyss hunter before he met his father, and after that, he did not abandon his path, and is still active in the abyss of the far north.

Now, a large part of the reason why he wants to participate in this competition is naturally to seek a chance for promotion and investigate the Abyss Relic.

And part of the reason is to prove yourself.

In order to prove that in the extreme north, where the bloodline theory is supreme, even if his mother is only a commoner, he can ascend to the supreme throne.

The father was silent about his mother, and the brothers were extremely sarcastic about the commoner-born mother.

Baplovich does not identify with such a world.

Some people say that the emperor of the Far North is the savior and the greatest ascendant, but Baplovich has never seen his uncle, he only knows that the emperor of the Far North seems to live in the palace forever, and even the daily affairs are presided over by his father and other brothers, and the emperor ignores the country, and Baplovich looks down on him at all.

In his opinion, that emperor was just lucky enough to be promoted to the seventh rank.

If I had the chance, I could do better than him!

What determines this world is not blood, but strength!

And the occasion to prove your ability is this [marathon]!

"The gravel belt, hehe, is certainly a test for the other riders, but for me, it's the best chance to overtake!"

Alexander Baplovich throttle wide open and galloped across the wasteland.

...

...

"To find him?"

Bai Ge looked at the statements in the chat record and frowned slightly.

What did this big guy do, so that the Atlas Consortium did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hold this [marathon], so much effort, and even took out extraordinary items such as the scales of [Steel Feather] as a prize in the competition.

To put it simply, Atlas found an abyssal relic in the abyss, and although the fragments of history contained in it have not yet been identified, I think it is something that has the potential to bring great disasters and unprecedented hope.

[Lao Tzu is the most cute in the world]: This kind of description, don't guess the riddle.

[In doing in doing]: Among the fragments of history should be the key figures in the old era of human beings who were able to transcend the constraints of gravity and enter the universe, if the ascender obtains this fragment of history, there is no doubt that Atlas will use it to develop the technology of flight again, no, this is no longer as simple as an airplane, it is a rocket, and it is a creation that can reach the stars.

[Goo-goo]: Rockets?

Bai Ge had seen similar creations in movies from the old days, it was a huge steel that flew into the sky under the amazing flamethrow, compared to an airplane and an object made by imitating birds, a rocket is a creation that transcends the limits of biology and is truly a creation of civilization and technology.

Although it is not necessary to have a historical name to accomplish the feat of historical tasks, at least you can gain a certain amount of knowledge, and under the influence of the extraordinary abilities of the upgrader, you may indeed be able to build a rocket.

However, with the presence of Steel Feather, there is no doubt that the launch of the rocket will attract this Steel Dragon and bring destruction to the world.

And...... Bai Ge has seen that rockets are not only a tool for human beings to enter the universe, but also a tool for war, once this technology is studied, whether it will cause more wars, he doesn't know.

[Doing it]: I learned about this, and the mainstream opinion within Atlas is to try to find a suitable upgrader and build a rocket, so I just stole the Abyss Relic and left Atlas.

“？”

Stole?

Wait, isn't this an abyss relic or something?

It should be properly protected, right?

This big guy is not the main designer of the game, he should be a civilian employee, right?

How does it sound like he's very capable of fighting?

[In doing it]: However, due to the increased activation of this abyss relic on my way out, I had to suppress it on the spot, I thought it would be solved in a few days, but I didn't expect something to go wrong, and I stayed until now, which also attracted the attention of Atlas, and they tracked my whereabouts and held a [marathon] to find my location.

Suppress???

Bai Ge now feels that the group is really full of big guys.

An existence that can suppress the activation of the abyss relics must be close to the existence of a demigod.

Moreover, listening to what this big guy said, the activation of the Abyss Relic is already very serious, after all, the [Marathon] was held a few months ago.

[Doing it]: And, to be honest, this abyssal relic is very dangerous and can easily attract natural disasters, so I didn't ask you to help, the worst result before was the appearance of the eighth natural disaster, but now, it seems that Atlas and the Holy Alliance are much more obsessed with this abyssal relic than I thought.

[No one knows faith better than me]: There are so many contestants now, if the Abyss Relic gets out of control when they find you, it may be a major disaster, are Atlas and the Holy Alliance trying to force you to appear and hand over the Abyss Relic?

[Doing it]: Yes, but this is no longer something I can control, even if I am asked to give up the Abyss Relic now, I can't do it, because in the process of activation, the Abyss Relic has taken the initiative, and I can only chase it now, and there may be many traces found by Atlas on the way, as an easter egg for the [Marathon] race.

"I see."

Bai Ge roughly understood the cause of the sea of sand that he encountered before, which was probably the traces of this big guy after the battle with the abyss relics, Atlas found these traces, and used this as a clue to let those ascenders help it search for the whereabouts of this big guy, and most people were still unaware.

Indeed, the Ascenders will think that this is a clue to the Abyss Relic and keep looking for it, but they don't know the intentions behind it at all, and instead become tool people.

Bai Ge had already made some decisions.

Although he is only an ascender who has just stepped into the [Overlord's Egg], the [Trojan Horse's ability to deal with loopholes and flaws] may be surprisingly suitable for suppressing the activation of the Abyss Relic.

He has received help from many people in the group, so Bai Ge also wants to help others.

And if the Abyss Relic gets out of control.....

Bai Ge looked at the bamboo frost beside him and typed.

[Coo-goo]: So, if I'm participating in the competition right now, I should be able to help the big guy, right?

[Doing it, doing it]: Even if I refuse, in fact, everyone who participates in the [marathon] should already be deeply involved in it, and they can't run away if they want to.

[In doing in doing]: I can only tell you one thing, be careful of gravel belts.

Seeing the big guy's speech, Bai Ge raised his head.

Ahead, the grass and trees were gone.

A twenty-kilometer-long belt of gravel is about to break through.
