Chapter 262: Inter-School Competition
A month later, the Spring Festival approached.
Although the rotation and revolution cycles of the other world are subtly different from those of the earth, the earth calendar cannot be directly applied to the other world.
But after the initial restoration of social order, the travelers quickly remembered the traditional festivals.
This may be one of the few connections between them and their home planet, Earth.
This year's Spring Festival is particularly lively and grand.
The streets and alleys have long been lit up, with red lanterns and banners reading "Happy New Year" hanging everywhere, and fireworks made of various monster bone powder are also blooming in the night sky early.
Not to mention the abundant supply of materials in the store, every household is filled with a thick aroma of meat that cannot be dissolved, the food culture that has been inherited for thousands of years and the strange chemical reaction of the ingredients of the otherworldly monsters, this one is filled with the sword halberd demon pork intestines, the family uses the method of roast duck to deal with the particularly fat lizard monsters, and the store has created a hot pot with a diameter of more than two meters to eat the iron armor rhinoceros beef.
And with the news of the victories on the front line, all kinds of frozen super beast flesh and blood have been transported back to Dragon City, and ordinary citizens have benefited from the construction of the new development zone in full swing.
The Meng family is no exception.
Since Bai Suxin received treatment, she especially likes to go out shopping, and she doesn't like to buy any clothes or cosmetics, so she likes to find cheap vegetable markets and supply and marketing cooperatives in the corners, and change her ways to make good food for her family.
Especially when I heard that my son was going to triumph in a few days, I prepared a balcony full of pickled snakes, wax lizards, sword halberd demon pig sausages and iron-armored rhinoceros dry, ready to make up for my son's consumption in the past few months.
also used the unique spices of the other world, prepared seventeen or eighteen flavors, tried the dishes with his daughter every day, and fed Bai Jiacao seven or eight pounds of fat, so scared that the little girl ran away when she smelled the meat.
But I can usually run, but today I can't, when it comes to dinner, Bai Jiacao sits at the dinner table honestly, and even Meng Yishan, who is thriving in the company's business and very busy, also goes home on time, and the family turns on the TV, stares wide-eyed, and looks at the latest battle report on the front line.
"Xiaocao, can your brother really be on TV today?" Bai Suxin handed a lizard leg to her daughter.
"Of course, today's sports channel will broadcast the freshman confrontation between the five-school alliance and Longcheng University, it is said that the situation is different this year, because many freshmen are on the verge of breaking through, the original five-person team confrontation is not enough to reflect the full strength of both sides, so, it was changed to a 100-on-100 super confrontation match, and the whole process was broadcast live, my brother was selected into the list of the five-school alliance, and I will definitely see him later!" Bai Jiacao transferred the lizard leg to his father.
Meng Yishan's face was embarrassed, he looked at his daughter, and then at his wife.
His daughter and wife both looked at him with blank expressions.
He could only swallow it in one gulp and squeezed out a smile: "My wife has good craftsmanship, it's so delicious - such a delicious thing, when Ah Chao comes back, if you don't empty the entire balcony, I'm so sorry for my mother's hard work!" ”
As he spoke, a bird's-eye view of the drone from the Shattered Star Lake area to the Tombstone Forest was already displayed on the screen.
At this moment, the northern route has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with when Meng Chao first went a few months ago.
Two railroads and a six-lane highway run straight from the main city through the Shattered Star Lake and Tombstone Forest to the foot of the Angry Waves.
Every day, tens of thousands of tons of supplies are continuously transported into the depths of the wilderness by this artery.
Nearly 1,000 tons of steel behemoths, fully automated construction machinery, have dug criss-crossing drainage canals and canals in the Shattered Star Lake area, and super-high-powered pumping machines continue to pump out the stagnant water in the swamp day and night, causing large swaths of swamps to shrink and expose the black silt underneath.
Rich in nutrients and microorganisms deposited by organisms over thousands of years, the sludge can quickly be transformed into a fertile soil as far as the eye can see, when mixed with fertilizer made from monster flesh and bone meal.
On the first swamps that have been drained and transformed, rows of silver-colored greenhouses have been erected, and the spirit planters and agronomists have sprinkled all kinds of genetically modified spiritual plant seeds, and by the summer and autumn of this year, they will be able to bear fruitful fruits with rich spiritual energy.
And the originally dark tombstone forest, after several encirclements and suppressions by the transcendents and the Red Dragon Army, the threatening super beasts and carnivorous spiritual plants were basically hunted and killed, or driven to the deeper wilderness behind the Angry Wave Mountains.
Now, several pieces of land have been leveled out, and mining farms, smelters, aura transmission base stations, and upstream and downstream heavy industry development zones around spars and otherworldly metals have been planned.
As for the Nutao Mountain Range, although it cannot be developed for the time being, hundreds of armored airships hover over the mountain range all day long, on the one hand, to monitor whether there are still signs of the activity of medium and high-level super beasts in the mountains and forests, and on the other hand, to collect the aura that still gushes out from the ground, and to use the environment with a high concentration of aura in the Nutao Mountain Range to carry out various scientific experiments.
In the past month, with the stabilization of the spiritual magnetic environment, the transmission of information from the front line and the rear has been unimpeded, and many media and websites have opened 24-hour uninterrupted live broadcasts of the battlefield on the northern front.
In addition to some core secrets, the live broadcast of the battle situation can maximize the pride of the citizens, the belief in victory, and the source of motivation for cultivation and battle.
Seeing with my own eyes that the battlefield on the northern front has been transformed from a wilderness full of nothing and dangers to a paradise for earthlings, this kind of pride and ambition to overcome obstacles and break new ground is the most valuable wealth and combat effectiveness of Dragon City.
Especially the Meng family, there are children in the family who are fighting bravely on the front line, and they are even more proud in their hearts.
"A month ago, we encountered a very rare aura eruption on the battlefield of the Northern Front, and the entire battlefield became a blessed land with a strong aura, and all the transcendents who were active on the battlefield, especially the new transcendents who had just shown their grandeur, all ushered in a once-in-a-lifetime strategic opportunity.
"According to incomplete statistics, there are at least thousands of one-star Spirit Pattern Realm transcendents under the age of thirty who have been improved to varying degrees from this aura eruption.
In the following month, represented by the freshmen of six colleges and universities including Dragon City University, the new transcendents pursued the victory, fought bloodily, broke through the limits of life again and again, and played the spirit of Dragon City, the earth and mankind!
"Today, we have firmly occupied hundreds of miles of fertile land from the Nutao Mountains to the Shattered Star Lake District, and Dragon City has also taken a solid first step on the journey of the Otherworld, these young people who will surely step on the top of the Otherworld in the future, what is the current strength? Now, let's take a look—"
The voice of the narrator came over the TV.
Meng Yishan, Bai Suxin and Bai Jiacao all stared with bated breath.
The camera set up on the drone suddenly dives, and the picture continues to zoom in, until it comes to a corner of the tombstone forest, and a huge race is divided.
On both sides of the woods, there is a preparation area, and two hundred freshmen from Longcheng University and the Five Schools Alliance are warming up, and the camera sweeps over them.
"In the past month, our channel has broadcast the fierce battles of some new transcendents many times, and we have also interviewed some outstanding new transcendents, and I believe that the audience is no stranger to some of them."
Accompanied by the commentary, the camera stayed on some of the freshmen for a while.
These people are all outstanding people who have a particularly good record, and their strength is also superior to others, and they are outstanding among the new transcendents.
Among them, including Meng Chao.
As if discovering the drone, Meng Chao smiled brightly and waved his hand at the camera.
"Look, it's my brother, he seems to be a little taller than the other day, really, now I can only reach his chest at most!" Bai Jiacao screamed.
"It's really Ah Chao."
Meng Yishan and Bai Suxin were surprised and delighted.
Unexpectedly, in just half a year, my son went from rolling around in bed, not knowing if he could get a better specialty, to being able to shine on the battlefield and stand out from thousands of new transcendentals.
Such a change made the parents relieved and joyful, and they were secretly a little distressed for their son's crazy cultivation and fighting.
"The freshman competition between Longcheng University and the University of Technology, Agricultural University, Medical University, Military Academy, University of Science and Technology, and the five-school alliance is a traditional event with a long history, and in previous years, the five-on-five team fighting mode was adopted, but this year, the young generation of Longcheng has risen, which can be called the 'golden generation', at least hundreds of people have reached the level of the leaders in previous years.
"Therefore, this year's competition is an unprecedented '100 against 100', the rules are very simple, each side sends 100 players, and at the same time enters the dangerous tombstone forest, and the perception chip embedded in the protective suit monitors the physiological parameters, simulates and analyzes the injury, to determine whether it is 'defeated'.
"Either side, before the last player is judged to be 'defeated', has a chance to fight back with one against ten, and the intricate environment in the tombstone forest also adds a lot of variables to the outcome of the game.
"Okay, the players on both sides have entered the tombstone forest, about the information and combat power analysis of their respective star players, we will explain in detail in the next exciting fierce battle, and now, the game has officially begun!"
"Mom!"
Bai Jiacao was so anxious that he slapped the table, "The game has started, what are you still doing, find out where my brother is!" ”
"Wait, I'll send a message."
Bai Suxin said calmly, "Let the relatives in the family group hurry up and watch Ah Chao's game." ”
She clicked "Send" and opened another chat group.
"Is it finished?" Bai Jiacao is dying.
"It's over, and now it's a neighborhood group."
Bai Suxin said, "Ah Chao is the pride of our Tianfuyuan, and the neighbors will definitely cheer him on when they know that he is on TV." ”
She sent another one.
"And now?" Bai Jiacao wipes sweat.
"I have also added several grocery shopping groups, as well as groups of patients treated in the hospital...... Bai Suxin sent competition information to more than a dozen groups, and especially took a screenshot of the picture of Meng Chaochong smiling at the camera just now, and added the words "my son", and also sent it.
