The last weekend at the end of August is still a dull leisure or overtime time for ordinary people.

However, for the viewers and streamers of the supernova platform, today is destined to be an extraordinary day.

That's right, this is the day when the much-anticipated Supernova Challenge officially begins.

For the viewers and anchors of this large-scale live broadcast platform, this event, which has been promoted for three months with an overwhelming offensive, is still very worth looking forward to.

After all, if the list of contestants announced by Supernova is true, then this game will undoubtedly be a feast for esports stars!

The content of the competition, which had been much talked about by the audience, was finally officially revealed at the last minute before the start of the live broadcast of the opening ceremony - this time the competition was not just a single event, but similar to the WCG (World Esports Championship) in the glory days of more than a decade ago, and several well-known games were competed at the same time.

The guests at the opening ceremony, in addition to well-known e-sports players, the two hosts are also the focus of the audience's attention - what kind of sparks will collide with the first contact between the "Black Hand" from Hellfire and the beautiful anchor "Extremely Black"?

Although the opening ceremony sounds very important this time, the two "leaders" of the Hellfire Company are not watching the live broadcast, but are -

"Woohoo!" A crisp bark broke the silence in the forest.

Don't get me wrong, this is not the sound that Xia Xiaoling imitated, but the barking of a white Pekingese dog running in front of him......

"Stop screaming." The man in black standing on the side leaned down a little depressedly and touched the fluffy fluff on the puppy's body, but it barked even harder.

"Xiao Ha should like Zhao Nuo, she also called it that before she gnawed bones every day." Xia Xiaoling, who was smiling, squatted down next to "Xiaoha" and held the puppy in her arms.

"Is it really better for you to compare me with bones......" Zhao Nuo complained casually. Stretched out his hand and stroked the little head poking out of Xia Xiaoling's arms.

That's right, as the much-anticipated opening ceremony of the Supernova Challenge is about to take place, the two founders of Hellfire Entertainment are walking their dogs......

It may sound weird, but the reason why the two of them would do this is simple: they have absolute confidence in the Black Hand.

Zhao Nuo and Xia Xiaoling both have one of the standard characteristics of game houses: they don't like to join in the fun.

In addition to on-site sales activities. Or the situation at E3 and Gamescom, where they have no interest in this kind of public at all. Even if they watch the Olympics, they are the kind of guys who skip the opening ceremony and watch the games later......

Since the mafia is very reassuring, this time they didn't care about the situation at the opening ceremony at all, they just continued to wander around the "war field", and by the way, they took Xia Xiaoling's newly bought puppy out to "let off steam".

As a girl who has no consciousness of being a "rich daughter" at all, Xia Xiaoling doesn't care about issues such as dog breeds and prices at all. She just liked Jingba's appearance, so she didn't hesitate to buy this puppy.

Looking at Xia Xiaoling's cautious appearance, Zhao Nuo smiled: "Don't worry, the pit here has already been filled." ”

They were in the same forest where they had fallen into the pit on that snowstorm night.

In order to prevent that from happening again, all the pits in the woods were filled. And after being acquired by Xia's Enterprise, there are currently many guards here. A crazy old man hunting with a shotgun will never happen again.

Because the design was not completed. At present, only a small part of the playground has been built. It is still far from being able to open up. But......

For the two who are idle, this "playground" is really suitable.

"That ......" Xia Xiaoling put down the puppy in her arms, gently scratched her hair, and asked, "Does Zhao Nuo still want to fight me again?" ”

"You're going to fight me here?" Zhao Nuo smiled.

―― I and Xia Xiaoling have faced off many times in various games. Although they have their own winners and losers, they have won more on the whole. It seems that because of "dissatisfaction", Xia Xiaoling often finds opportunities to continue to "fight" with herself.

As expected, Xia Xiaoling immediately nodded: "Hmm." ”

"DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY WARGAME?" Zhao Nuo asked curiously.

"There's a venue in the backyard of my house, where I used to play with my brother when I was a kid. Zhao Nuo, don't look down on me. Xia Xiaoling snorted unconvinced.

"Ha, the entertainment of the local tyrant is really extraordinary." Zhao Nuo nodded, turned around and walked to the locker room outside the forest: "Okay, follow me." ”

Since this forest is a natural hunting ground, no other facilities have been built in the renovation plan, and it will continue to be used as a WARGAME venue.

As for the place of change of clothes and the "arsenal", needless to say, it is still the dressing room that the "war field" originally brought with it.

Leaving "Xiaoha", whose name and appearance did not match at all, to one of the guards, the two entered the locker room and began to carry out "pre-battle preparations".

Twenty minutes later, when several nearby guards saw the two people coming out of the locker room, they couldn't help but rub their eyes:

“……”

The young man who was wearing a torn T-shirt and shorts had changed into a dark green jungle camouflage uniform, with a thermal imaging mirror on his forehead, a HK-416 rifle with a holographic mirror in his hand, a black beret on his head, and a dark camouflage paint on his face, looking like a special forces soldier who came out of a shooting game.

As for the girl next to him, it was even more noticeable.

The girl who used to look like a harmless white rabbit has now become a handsome soldier wearing a black combat uniform and holding a pistol in each hand. She didn't apply too much oil paint, but just applied two coats under her eyes, which brought an effect similar to "smoky makeup", which made her more ethereal and uninhibited.

"It's not bad." Zhao Nuo looked down at the assault rifle in his hand.

Although it is similar to the paintball gun used before in the "War Field", it is still a paintball weapon that cannot hurt people, but whether it is the appearance or workmanship, the firearms provided here now are not comparable to those broken things in the War Field before. Wearing the equipment here, it really feels like a soldier.

"It's okay, it's not as good as my family." Xia Xiaoling inserted her twin guns into the pistol holster on her belt. Then put on a black mask and goggles – even if it's a paintball gun, you have to protect your face, otherwise if you hit your eyes, the consequences would be dire.

"You go south, I'll go north, how about a war in ten minutes?" Zhao Nuo put on goggles while talking.

"Ah, which side is South?" Xia Xiaoling asked.

"...... over there" Zhao Nuo raised his hand helplessly and pointed to the other end of the forest in front of him.

"Ah, then I'm leaving." After determining the direction, Xia Xiaoling was also straightforward, turned around and left.

――That guy seems to be getting serious.

Realizing that the girl had entered a state of all-out combat, Zhao Nuo smiled slightly, held the HK-416 in his arms, and turned around and walked to the north side of the jungle.

Although this battle also has the meaning of "testing new weapons", since the fight has begun, it is necessary to go all out, which is also the belief that Zhao Nuo, who is a game nerd, has always adhered to.

Striding into the dense forest that was used as a war site, Zhao Nuo stood still in front of a sign next to him and quickly read the contents of it.

"Welcome to a new realm of warfare and engage in a frantic killing race against battle-hardened opponents! Unlike normal survival game venues, there will be random items waiting for you to use. ”

"You can find hidden item chests in the forest, and each item box will have hidden traps next to them, and if you unlock them, you can open them and get useful items such as smoke grenades, signal trackers, and supply bullets!"

"Please note that there is a surveillance system next to the item box, and if you deliberately damage the item box and mechanism we provide, you will have to compensate for the damaged items."

"Finally, I wish you all a happy hunt, goodbye."

-- This special rule is what makes the new "War Field" different from the normal survival game arena, similar to the "pick-up" setting in the game, making this place more like a virtual reality shooter stage.

"Let's have fun."

The "soldiers" in green camouflage uniforms walked into the dense forest without looking back, and their figures quickly disappeared into the lush forest. (To be continued......)
