Chapter 13: The Great War is Coming
When I opened the door, I saw Hans with an apologetic face.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm up late, what do you want to eat? I'm going to get ready right away! ”
"Just grab something to eat, and don't delay the game!" Xiao Ye didn't take it to heart, there was still an hour to go, just in time.
"Big brother freshen up first, I'll go down to buy food, let's meet in the lobby to the passage to the underground world?" Hans nodded.
Xiao Ye nodded and turned to go to the bathroom.
A few minutes after he descended the stairs to the passage, Hans came running with a bag in his hand.
"Big brother, I have prepared a few snacks with higher calories, which one is more appetizing for you to taste."
The pouch is opened and inside are three plastic boxes, each containing several different pieces of pastry.
Xiao Ye tasted them one by one, except for one of them, which was a little strange and unaccustomed to eating, the others were not bad in his opinion.
Hans was delighted with this answer. This can at least prove that Xiao Ye does not have high dietary requirements.
The two got on the hotel to pick up guests to the hovercar of the underground world, and arrived at their destination at about half past eight.
Retrieve the mech and make it all the way to the passage to the playing field, where the two enter. Ten minutes later, the mecha stopped outside a circular building more than a hundred meters high.
This circular building is the arena for the underground world mecha battle competition.
This arena is actually far away from the underground world, but it belongs to the underground world. The entire arena was surrounded by a wall twenty or thirty meters high, and on the wall, a mecha was constantly patrolling. At first glance, it looks more like a prison. And the only way out of this arena is through the passages leading to the underground world in front of the arena.
If you want to enter the arena, you must go through the underground world, and if you want to leave the arena, you must also go through the underground world.
Xiao Ye didn't like the prison-like atmosphere of the arena, because he had been in prison and almost died there. However, if he wants to make money, he must honestly compete in this hellish place.
After checking the small gate of the arena, the two entered the back hall of the arena.
The back hall is divided into small open spaces, and each contestant has to stay in the open space according to his or her own number. In this back hall, in order to prevent the contestants from being unable to play and dissatisfying the owners who watched the game, the contestants are strictly forbidden to fight, even those who are strong. If anyone violates the law, the result will be a dead end.
By the time the two arrived, two-tenths of the open space in the back hall had been occupied.
In comparison, Xiao Ye is the most shabby one.
The mecha is old, and there is only one follower. And the other contestants, the worst also brought a trainer and a repairman. Many, even with fifteen or sixteen people.
"Players No. 1 and No. 2, please enter the arena within ten minutes, there are still ten minutes left in the game."
In the back hall, a crisp voice rang out over the loudspeaker.
The two mechs immediately took off and headed to the entrance with their respective assistants.
Through the large screen in the back hall, Xiao Ye could see that the back hall was not far from the arena, and the two mechs entered the arena after two corners.
On the periphery of the arena, rows of seats continue to stretch upwards, and there are hardly any empty seats. According to rough estimates, there were more than 300,000 spectators in the entire auditorium. And these seats, the cheapest one also costs two or three hundred yuan, and it is still a ranking match with not many highlights.
As the time for the competition approached, the assistants of the contestants left the field one after another. A mecha referee came on the field, and at the same time, a rectangular screen with an area of no less than 10,000 square meters appeared on all sides of the arena at the same time. On the screen, there are various information of the contestants on both sides.
"Countdown to 10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds......"
As the referee's voice sounded, the big screen gradually disappeared, and the two sides of the competition once again became the focus.
"Game on!"
The referee slammed the mech's arm down.
The two mechwarriors erupted in unison, their chests, arms, and heads...... The energy beam holes everywhere attacked at almost the same time.
Boom Boom Boom ......
In the blink of an eye, the two mechs were shattered. Also almost at the same time, both sides chose to abstain. The referee erupted instantly, separating the two mechs.
"No. 2 abstained first, and No. 1 won this game!"
The whole process is just over ten seconds!
Wow......
As the referee's voice sounded, the audience was in an uproar!
"This month's mecha competition seems to have set the tone of not being enough to watch!" One commentator couldn't help but speak in frustration.
"I don't think so, the fight ended in more than ten seconds, and the first game of the month was obviously hot and exciting enough. I'm very optimistic about this whole month's competition. You have to know that fighting guts, mecha performance, and seeing who will beat the opponent first and abstain from the right is not less visible than the ability to fight back and forth skills, reaction ability and control ability of the mecha. Another commentator spoke out against it.
"Then let's look forward to which side the next game will be!" The moderator does not have the same obvious personal tendencies as the two guest commentators.
In the back hall, Xiao Ye was dumbfounded, and Hans also swallowed violently.
"Nima, no wonder the participation prize for mecha battles is ten times higher!"
After experiencing the war, Xiao Ye also prefers violent competitions, but as one of the contestants, and the poorest contestant, he hopes that everyone will focus on competitive skills.
Like No. 1 and No. 2, Xiao Ye is confident that he can successfully complete the game without being hit once. However, not all the contestants are at the level of No. 1 and No. 2. If he encounters a strong violent contestant, even if he wins, the prize money may not be enough to repair the mech.
Hans is the same, although he has seen the video of the mecha battle and knows that the loss is huge, he has never cared about it before, he has watched it excitingly, and he doesn't care who lives or dies, let alone the extent of the damage to the mecha. But right now, as the younger brother of one of the contestants, it is difficult for him not to be frightened by this level of attrition.
In the first game, the prize money for No. 1 and No. 2 was only 2,000 yuan, but the loss was at least more than 100,000 yuan. This is still their mecha performance is good, and if it is replaced by Xiao Ye's mecha, it may even be directly scrapped if it encounters such a ferocious attack.
Just when the two were dumbfounded, the No. 3 and No. 4 contestants entered.
After the start of the race, these two were a little better than No. 1 and No. 2. No. 3 also advocates violence, attacking desperately with full firepower as soon as the game starts, and No. 4 constantly dodging and dodging.
The result was the same as the first one, with a more violent victory. After being accidentally attacked, No. 4 immediately fell into decline. After not having enough operation ability and reflexes to turn the tide, he was beaten all the way by No. 3 until he gave up the game.
The next games are almost the same as the previous two. Although there are many people who take the route of skill, speed, etc., not many people win.
Attacking desperately is a waste of energy on the battlefield. But in this game, he can take the initiative at the beginning.
In less than an hour, it was Xiao Ye's turn to play on the 25th and 26th.
"Big brother, I just checked the information, and the 26th is also mainly attacking. It's really not good, let's also fire on the first time. Although the loss is a little higher, at least it can guarantee that you can enter the next round, and the next round will have a prize of 4,000 yuan......"
Hans followed Xiao Ye, working as a trainer to analyze the advantages for a while, and a psychiatrist to cheer Xiao Ye up. When he arrived at the arena, he had to rub his temples and hand him a drink.
After exiting, he had to hide behind the passage of the arena and stare at the big screen, in case Xiao Ye was defeated, he called a timeout to give him time to arrange new tactics.
