"Aha-you guys probably can't wait!" At the end of the last speech, after a very precise three hours, that is, 10,800 seconds, all those who qualified for the competition once again fell into a state as if everything was frozen, unable to move, and only a neurotic non-stop noise, "The much-anticipated preliminary round is finally about to begin!" ”

"Uh-huh, let me see, wow, you're really- quite important- hehe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"So, without further ado, let's hurry up and announce the rules of the preliminary round."

"First of all, in the preliminary round, there are two concepts that need to be highlighted, 'life setting' and 'elimination mechanism'."

"First of all, in the preliminary round here, everyone must be very concerned about the resurrection, right? In this preliminary, each player will start with three lives - and if they 'eat', or buy lives, the total will increase. The so-called life, of course, is the opportunity for resurrection. And in this game, there is also a very conscientious setting - players can resurrect their teammates with two lives. ”

"Then, it's about the rules of elimination. Obviously, if your team has zero lives, then of course they will be eliminated in the preliminary round; On top of that, if your team's score drops to '0' or below, your team will be eliminated immediately. After the preliminary round, those whose scores are lower than the passing mark will of course be eliminated. And if your team is eliminated in the middle of a match - then we're sorry, but members of your team can't be in the world again, at least while the game is in progress. ”

"How? Interesting, right? Then, let's talk about what you need to do during the preliminary round. Unlike the qualifiers, in the preliminary round, I personally don't recommend you to kill each other - I spent nearly half a year preparing three doomsday-level expansion packs for this world, and this time it is completely different from the last monster expansion pack, trembling under the power of Uncle Ben - ahahahaha! ”

"Ahem, isn't the performance just now too mid-second? I'm a little embarrassed. Moving on, all three expansions are the ones that are all over the world, and arguably quite explosive, and I'm sure it won't be long before you realize they exist. And among these three expansions, there is a special existence, as long as you solve this problem, the preliminary round will be over. ”

"Well, while you're probably not interested, after the preliminary, the effects of these expansions will remain, and their presence will disappear. Some players who think more about it can also think about how to use it. ”

"In short, as I said earlier, these three expansions are all 'The End of the World', and what you contestants need to do is to find the 'special one' and then save the world in this one apocalypse. What do you think? It's a very passionate and burning theme, right? Are you all excited about it? ”

"Finally, there is one more point that needs to be clarified. While your ultimate goal is to solve the 'special one', your contribution to solving the other two apocalypsees will be counted in the group's statistics using the same criteria. ”

"Alright, save the world, become a hero, and gain everyone's admiration and adoration! Preliminary Round - Begin! ”

…………

On March 14, 2021, at 6:13 p.m., the sky had already begun to gradually darken, and the people who were still active on the ground - as mentioned before, during the qualifiers, most of the NPCs had already gone underground - there were one or two thousand people, suddenly gasping for breath. Although they didn't feel anything, in their consciousness, they stopped breathing for a long time.

(Don't make too much noise.) In fact, as long as you maintain the rhythm of your breathing. ）

However, the Golden Libra was an exception, because as soon as she withdrew from the state of the world activated, a very soft voice came from her heart, telling her what she should do.

(Originally, it didn't matter, but the way Little Gold gasped for breath must have been cute, and I wanted to see it too.) But, after all, we're peeping, and it's always bad to make too loud noise. What's more, these days, even if you pretend that you're a mouse, people will be nervous and have to kill you to rest assured. ）

Lin Qing chattered as always, but Golden Libra did not feel bored, but felt very relieved.

So, she breathed quietly and leaned down, quietly staring below, at the object of her attention.

(Damn retarded.) Modern technology is so convenient, and it is necessary to pretend to build this kind of wooden house, and also make a beam out. ）

The two retards below were taking deep breaths at the same time, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

"Whew-apocalypse? Hero? The woman in it, the player, whom Libra knew first, recovered and repeated two eye-catching words from the GM's words, "It feels very emotional." ”

(It's really mentally retarded, isn't the point of that paragraph in this kind of place at all?) And to say this kind of nonsense in front of an NPC, or a bureaucrat, is simply self-defeating. ）

Lin Qing, who watched the live broadcast through the telepathy of the golden scale, seemed to be more enthusiastic than usual.

The fat man standing next to the female player rubbed his fat stacked hands and frowned - but under the demonstration of the fat on his face, his action was minimal, if it wasn't for Lin Qing specifically pointing it out, the golden scale would also think that it was just his activity, and the fat on his face was just a normal tremor of the fat on his face.

"Indeed." After frowning his eyebrows, the fat man nodded, and under the drive of this action, the waves of flesh all over his body were rolling and trembling, "Then, the first thing we need to do now is to confirm what these three - 'expansion pieces' are." ”

(Should I say that I am a bureaucrat?) In addition to his relatively clear mind, his ability to speak nonsense with his eyes open is also quite outstanding. ）

After Golden Libra "listened" to Lin Qing's words, he suddenly pouted a little dissatisfied.

(Oops, I understand, this guy is a bad guy and I shouldn't praise him.) Don't worry, little gold, I'm definitely different from this kind of goods, he's not at the same level as me at all-ahem...... Don't worry, little gold, I will never lie to me for any reason in the future. This is my guarantee, if there is a violation, the sky will thunder. ）

Libra pursed his lips, but laughed at the same time.

(Ahh Laugh, right? I can't see it, I'm so heartbroken...... ）

While the golden scales are wandering on the beams, the following things will not stop.

Hearing the fat man speak, the female player glanced at him with a little disgust: "Hmph, looking for someone like you to cooperate with me, the people above you are really in the water." I don't need you to guide my actions, you just have to listen to me. Now, go get me the hot water, I'm going to take a good shower, go ahead! ”

The fat man didn't react much to these insulting words, smiled with a low brow, and walked away honestly.

(Huh?) How is there only one person left? What just happened? ）

After the golden libra refocused his attention on the bottom, he found that there was one person missing, and when he heard Lin Qing's complaint, his face was a little feverish.

Golden Libra doesn't have Lin Qing's ability to play games, talk nonsense, listen to stories at the same time, and think of some crooked ideas at the same time, she is very focused no matter what she does, so when she focuses on interacting with Lin Qing, she doesn't pay attention to what is happening below, and Lin Qing certainly can't receive her live broadcast.

Lin Qing quickly understood this, and at the same time deduced the mental activity of the golden scale.

(No, it doesn't matter, you don't have to care so much about little gold, it's probably my fault.) This woman is- well, Little Gold's sister? Not to mention that he doesn't look cute at all.,This face is waiting impatiently and arrogantly.,It doesn't seem that the character is very good.。 Sure enough, only my little gold is special~)

The previous words had gradually diverted the attention of the golden scale, but as soon as Lin Qing said the last sentence, the golden scale's face became hot, so red that it was about to glow on the dark beams.

(Huh?) I can't see it, I can't see anything! What's wrong with you, little gold? Uh-huh-when I said this kind of thing before, you didn't have such a big reaction, little gold? What's wrong? Are you okay! ）

"My family—" The golden Libra said two words, and he could no longer speak, but his face turned redder.

(Ahh No, no, we'll talk about this later, little gold, we're still peeping at us. Calm down, calm down, let's see what your sister is up to first. ）

After listening to Lin Qing's words, Golden Libra finally tried very hard to calm down and looked down.

(What, little gold, sister, is she watching us?) ）

Golden Libra was shocked, and immediately made a decision, and escaped through the window with a continuous teleportation.

"Miss, the bath water has been soaked, and the temperature is just right." The fat man walked over with a humble smile, but instead of staying in a humble position, he walked closer and closer, until he stopped until he said the word "good" and the wind he spit out could be clearly felt by the ears of the female player.

Without waiting for the female player to react, say a whip leg or a slap in the face or something, the fat man opened his mouth again, only this time his movements were imperceptible, his voice was so small that he could only be heard when he was close to him, and his tone was very serious: "There are intruders." The surveillance equipment in my house has all been destroyed. ”

"Oh." The female player nodded, and did not overreact, but took a few steps back, and distanced herself from the fat man, "I also found out, that guy has left just now, and I can't catch up." ”

"Still, I know who she is and why she's here." The fat man heard the female player's words very clearly, that special tone, which was different from the usual domineering, in these words, what was hidden was disgust, disgust, and a deeper sense of inferiority, "Hmph, that, monster." ”

The fat man's eyes flickered for a moment, but in the end he just lowered his head and said softly: "The bath water is ready, and the temperature is just right." ”
