As the day of the competition approached, everyone could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the entire Spirit City was becoming more and more different. First of all, as the players in the competition, the atmosphere in the training ground every day is getting heavier and heavier, and everyone feels that something is slowly pressing down in their hearts, getting heavier and heavier, making people gradually out of breath.

Even Ronan and Gerst are gradually infected in this atmosphere, thinking about various tactics and combat skills in their minds every day. Yun Qing should be the one under the most pressure at this time, as the main attacker of the team, she needs to be familiar with many more weapons and equipment than others.

As the date approached, all kinds of weapons and equipment were also delivered. There are some conventional weapons among them, and some are weapons independently developed by the Spirit City side. From light crossbows to heavy magic cannons, almost every type of ranged weapon is covered. When the time comes, they will choose the right weapon to equip according to the situation on the field. And what Yunqing needs to do now is to use the performance of these weapons proficiently.

In addition to the nervous players, Wang Xiaoming, who is the person in charge, is also more busy at this time. His main job now is to direct his technical team to make final adjustments to the final puppet models to be contested, these six puppets were just shipped here a few days ago, different from the training puppets that have been used before, these puppets have changed a lot from appearance to performance.

This is a puppet model created by Wang Xiaoming according to the characteristics of each person after collecting various data of the six team members from the very beginning. Not only the Spirit City, but each participating city will tailor the most suitable puppet for the contestants. Unlike the balance attributes of training golems, these golems are designed to play to each player's strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Just like Yunqing's puppet, its body was deliberately made as slender as possible on the premise of being able to carry a magic cannon, which not only reduced the area of attack, but also made its movements more flexible when dodging. And according to the positioning of Yunqing's long-range attack, the body that can only wear leather armor is designed to be very slender, but the two legs are slender and thicker, so that the puppet's legs can carry more power and have a faster speed in moving.

Shi Lei's puppet is like a stout giant, with a very thick torso and short but thick legs, which allows him to have better stability while taking damage. Ronan's puppet is the closest to a human, the standard man's body type. Ronan's request was to make me feel like I was controlling a human as much as possible, so that I could use my sword better.

And the most unhuman puppet is Gerst's, his puppet is like a humanoid praying mantis. It is as thin as a hemp rod, and it can be cut into two pieces with a single knife, but his limbs are extremely slender, and his light body and slender limbs can be seen at a glance that it can run at a terrifying speed. At the most critical moment, it also has a small mechanism on its back, from which two thin wings can be protruded, and it can be used to glide for some distance in a rapid race.

Of course, this design is not violated, because the wing does not consume power, it is just a structural design, and ultimately it also uses its own high-speed movement to achieve gliding, and it does not have the ability to fly. At this time, Wang Xiaoming has been leading the team to make final adjustments to these game puppets to avoid various failures during the game that will affect the results of the game.

In addition to these people participating in the competition, there was also a festive atmosphere in Lingcheng at this time. Everyone now regarded this grand game as a festival, and with the influx of a large number of people from outside the city into the city, the streets of the city were a lively scene.

There are still a few days left before the game, and of course these people who come to watch the game should have a good time visiting the spiritual city. For a while, all the shops and restaurants were overcrowded, and the business was booming, so that these bosses couldn't stop laughing. And the most popular ones are those unique snacks of Linghu, which does not remember the fish cakes Lao Yu is busy every day, but the smile on the corner of his mouth has never disappeared.

The Promise Bar is a place that usually seems very clean, and even during the day, there are many people sitting in it with a glass of wine, leaning against the window to enjoy the special scenery of the city's prosperity and antiquity. It can be said that everyone in Lingcheng has become bulging because of the development of this game.

Even Insiya B&B is rarely full. Every night when Rourou and Wang Mo were settling accounts, the two of them would let out oozing laughter.

However, under such a lively scene, there is still an undercurrent. Although Wang Xiaoming seems to be focused on the game, he has been thinking about another thing in his heart. Zuo Lao, who hadn't appeared for a long time the day before yesterday, came back, and Zuo Lao's face was pale, obviously suffering internal injuries.

Zuo Lao was sent out by Wang Xiaoming to investigate some things, and the worries he had talked to Wang Mo before did not let him go because of Wang Mo's comfort. On the contrary, as early as when the incident first happened, Wang Xiaoming entrusted Zuo Lao to investigate. Sure enough, when Zuo Lao brought back the news, he understood that his worries did not seem to be wrong.

Zuo Lao's strength Wang Xiaoming knows, although he is not the top qi master, but the qi control is already more varied than the methods of common qi refiners. It is a very difficult thing to fight with a qi master, but Zuo Lao was actually injured, which can only show that the strength of the group of people who came to do things this time is really strong.

Although Zuo Lao said that he was fine, he was just hit by the other party's natal flying sword during the battle, so there was some backlash, and it would be fine to recuperate for a few days. But Wang Xiaoming knew in his heart that letting Zuo Lao sacrifice his natal flying sword to meet the enemy would already be able to explain the weight of the other party.

"Do you want to take advantage of the competition to rob the prison?" Wang Xiaoming secretly thought in his heart, "It's interesting, I'm afraid I want to kill the few people who are still alive in the prison, right?" But Brother Andre actually offered to take charge of the city defense management during the competition this time, which was also unexpected. He is a high-minded lord, and he usually chooses only the most prominent one for everything, and if he can't win him, he will usually hide in his castle and ignore anything. This time, he took the initiative to do city defense, which was the most thankless thing. It seems that this Brother Andre has also lived in Lingcheng for a long time, and he has begun to like this place, right?"

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming shook his head with a smile and thought, "I don't know if Brother Andre drank the red wine I gave him last time, but I bought it back for him, hoping to alleviate his loneliness in a foreign land, right?"

At this time, in Andrei's small castle, Andrei was quietly reading a book in his study. At this time, the wooden door of the study creaked open, and Andrei looked at it with a frown. He disliked being disturbed in his alone time, as the people of the castle knew it.

Isn't it possible that new recruits have been recruited recently? Andre thought to himself that there would be occasional newcomers who would make such low-level mistakes. But as the wooden door was opened, no one entered, and the wooden door was closed again with a creak. Andrei stood up nervously, although he didn't see anyone coming in, but when he came back from the battlefield, he was keenly aware that something was already standing in this room at this time.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the empty space: "Relax Andrey, it's me." ”

Hearing this voice, Andre really relaxed his body and said, "Is it Lord Shadow?"

Sure enough, a dark shadow appeared in the house in a trance, and it was still the iconic bird's beak mask and black cloak. Andre saw the other party appear and said, "You can let the people come and talk to me." ”

Shadow said, "I'm sorry, I know it's rude to do this, but for your safety, I think it's better to see you like this." ”
