Chapter 63: Victory in the First Battle

Overnight, the flat and smooth ground of yesterday has turned into an undulating wasteland, with woods, swamps, streams, boulders, and caves, and it is not easy for that two-square-kilometer arena to accommodate so many things.

The arena in the center of the arena is bulging to a height of about three meters, while the spectator seats are recessed into the ground, which minimizes the misfire of long-range weapons.

Although the cost of modification is quite a lot, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the registration fee of 3 million per mecha and the average ticket of 5,000 tickets.

Besides, if you want to put an energy shield around such a large arena, I'm afraid you don't have to think about hundreds of billions of dollars, and the current way is the most economical.

For the audience, it does not affect the effect of viewing.

Because in addition to the floating cameras in the air, all the mechs are also equipped with several small cameras.

Spectators can adjust the screen they are interested in at any time on the virtual screen in front of their seats, and they are free to place bets one second before the game starts.

The Mecha Tournament Organizing Committee has a very commercial vision, and they have also set up a special betting fund for the competition, and all odds are adjusted in real time to reflect fairness.

For example, if you are ready to bet on a mecha, before you bet, the odds of this mecha are one to one, when you enter the bet amount before pressing confirmation, the system will prompt you, because you bet, so the odds have been adjusted to ninety to one, the more you bet, the more the odds may fall.

This adjustment is based on the overall amount of money wagered, and the betting fund only charges an administration fee of 10% of your profits.

There are many ways to bet, you can bet on whether a certain mech will appear in the group, you can also bet on whether a certain mech can become the top of the preliminaries, or you can bet on whether a certain mech can become the top of the finals.

Of course, if you bet on a single group, due to the small amount of money, if you invest too much money, the odds will be very low, and there will generally be fewer people to place heavy bets.

And the risk of betting on the finals now is too great, and at this time, it is the hottest to be the top of the qualifiers.

This kind of gambling is extremely exciting.

Just like making a stock, if you bet on a mech, as long as the mecha has not been eliminated, its odds will constantly change according to its performance and that of other mechas, and you can have several flexible options because of this.

For example, if the odds go up because it doesn't perform well, you can choose to throw the bet on it at hand to reduce your losses, or simply buy another ticket to stabilize its odds to increase the confidence of others in it.

And when the odds are down, if you throw the bet with the high odds on hand, then you can make the difference first, and you don't have to wait until the game is all over to make a profit.

Of course, all this operation must be in the case that this mecha is not eliminated, if it is eliminated, then the bet in your hand will be in vain...

Therefore, each Mecha Championship is not only a fight between mechas, but also often attracts a lot of funds to come and gamble.

As for the ordinary remnants, the common people are also happy, although it is said that a small gamble is a big gamble and hurts the body, but everyone wants to make a fortune dream, so there are those who go bankrupt during the mecha competition, and there are also those who get rich overnight.

The Mecha Championship also has an alias - the National Gambling Festival.

Ma Ping'an was very confident in his dragon warrior, and after thinking about it, he felt that he would not make money in vain this time, so he forced the old man to help Jian Xing get out of an identity chip overnight, and then gave him the remaining more than three million in his account, claiming to be a test and test, and by the way, let him practice his hands.

Of course, the requirements are mainly based on the bet of operating the dragon warrior.

But in this way, the dragon warriors can't be too revealing in the group stage, so as not to make the odds too low.

Ma Ping'an's group has a total of 24 mechas, and they are randomly divided into four groups in the group stage, with six mecha in each group.

During the group competition, six mechs are distributed around the arena, and after the game starts, they can attack at will, and when five mechs lose their combat effectiveness, the remaining mecha wins the first place in the group.

After all four groups have finished playing, the winners of each group will play another round.

As with the rules of the group competition, when three mechs lose their combat effectiveness, the remaining mecha will qualify from the group, that is, only one mecha will win in the end out of this group of 24 mechas.

Since the group stage and the group stage are played consecutively, it is necessary to ensure victory in the group stage, and ensure safety on the other hand, and try to make your mecha less damaged to avoid suffering losses in the group stage.

In a game like this, tactics are very important.

Attack or defend first?

If you want to attack, who will attack first?

How do you not let yourself become someone else's go-to target in the first place?

How to win with the least cost?

These are all questions that must be taken into account.

However, if the disparity in strength is too great, these problems will not be a problem.

The random grouping of the group competition has ended, and Ma Ping'an found out the information of the other five mecha in this group in the group profile.

The information in these profiles is extremely simple, and there are only a few items for reference, such as the player's name, mecha model, and background team.

At the strong request of the scorpion, and in order to earn some fame for the Beast Adventure Group, Ma Ping'an's background team filled in the name of the Beast Adventure Group.

For this matter, Ma Ping'an also specially greeted the wild lion and asked him to arrange to change the name of their small gang of rhinos.

Just in case the Beast Adventure Party becomes famous, someone will associate the Rhino Beast Adventure Party with the name.

After several years of development, the Mecha Championship has long been more than just an ordinary competitive competition, and has become a place for some arms manufacturers, big conglomerates, big families and adventure groups to promote themselves.

Therefore, you can often see all kinds of advertisements spray-painted all over the body of some mechas, which looks very funny.

Among the other five mecha in Ma Ping'an's group, two of them participated privately, and the other three had the names of other adventure groups in the New Demon Capital filled in their background information.

During this time, the Beast Adventure Group was in the limelight, and Ma Ping'an could also predict how others would treat him with his toes.

But after a few more glances at the mecha model, Ma Ping'an immediately settled down.

Those five mecha are all common models, although most of them have been strengthened and modified, but as long as they have a brand, they will definitely not be the opponent of dragon warriors.

Now it's a headache, but how to hide his strength to cooperate with Jian Injury's operation.

Ma Ping'an was thinking there, and the prompt in the contestant area had sounded.

"Group 4 Group 1 is about to start, please enter within three minutes!"

Ma Ping'an's spirits perked up, and he ran towards the entrance after entering the dragon warrior.

As the entrance opened, six mechs rushed in, and the host's voice rang out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now there are six players from the first group of the fourth group, let's take a look at their information first!"

"SH0132 is a modified version of the Warrior Mecha piloted by Lin Mad from the Vermeer Adventure Troupe.

The Vermeer Adventure Team also sent players to participate in the Mecha Championship last year and won the right to qualify for the group group, will they perform better this year? Let's wait and see! ”

"SH0237 is a private contestant more. Kemon.

He uses a knight mecha, although like the Warrior, the knight is also a product of the Ancient European Technology Alliance, but the knight series is a limited edition! This mecha is worth tens of millions.

Well, let me take a look at last year's data~~~ Wow... In the quarterfinals of last year's New Magic City Qualifiers, there was a modified version of the Knight! ”

"SH0113 is from ......"

Ma Ping'an adjusted the virtual screen in the mecha to a channel that could accept live broadcast in the arena, and every time a mecha was introduced, the whole picture of the mecha when it entered the stadium would appear on the screen, and the driver's video recorded in front of it was also attached.

The contestants of the three adventuring groups are all muscular and macho men with thick chest hair.

SH0237 and the other private contestant are polite little white faces, although their mechs are not very good, but when they are introduced, they still cause a group of resentful women to scream.

But when Ma Ping'an was introduced, the dragon warrior's-yellow Michelin appearance was replaced by boos from the audience...

Ma Ping'an's teeth clucked, and the injury was not light...

After entering through a narrow passageway, each mech can choose its desired location and wait for the match to start, but each mech must be separated by more than 50 meters from each other.

The three mechs really had bad intentions, and no matter where the dragon warriors went, they all followed not far behind.

Ma Ping'an observed the terrain and rode the dragon warrior to a small basin in the middle of several mounds.

If those three mechs were to follow, they would have to stop at the mounds.

In such a scuffle, the high terrain and unsheltered mud piles are not a good place to go.

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Ping'an stopped there, the three mecha scattered one after another, and each found a safer place to hide, but looking at the direction, the dragon warrior was still sandwiched in the middle.

"Damn, two broken warriors, one garbage flying and dragging twenty-fifty-eighty thousand!"

Ma Ping'an was stimulated in front of him, and while scolding, he asked the main control system to analyze the offensive route of the three mechas, and was ready to give them a taste.

With a crisp explosion, a silver flower burst in the air, and the game officially began.

All players must sign a life and death agreement when registering, so it is normal to shed blood and lose their lives during the championship.

The three mechs activated in an instant, and viciously pounced towards the dragon warrior.

They all seem to be veterans, although they all know that everyone has the same goal, but they still don't forget to guard against both hands, and the mecha moves in an S-shaped trajectory, and from time to time there will be a sudden stop and slow down.

The dragon warrior was still quietly lying in the small basin.

In the silence, the main control system had already calculated all the angles, until the three mechas' exposed heads could be seen from the top of the mound, the anti-gravity device was instantly activated, and the mecha swooped up, and then casually shot at a mecha.

This series of actions is done in one go, which is really beautiful, but it may be because the center of gravity has just moved, but the direction is crooked, and the landing point is three or four meters apart, which immediately caused a burst of laughter in the audience.

The three mechs reacted very quickly, and when they saw the target suddenly appear in the air in front of them, they all became excited.

These modified mechs are equipped with a saturation attack system, although it will delay the energy storage time of tens of milliseconds, but at this time, the fat body of the dragon warrior is very large, and it is clearly the best target.

The three mechs all had the idea of getting it with one shot, and after a slight pause, three dazzling blue lights suddenly flew away.

But the moment they pressed the launch button, the dragon warrior suddenly seemed to lose his center of gravity, and fell down with a thud.

The error of a few tenths of a second caused the shooting of the three mechs to suddenly fail, and the blue light flew through the air with a whistling sound, and then there were two booms...

The position in front of the dragon warrior happened to be in line with the two mechas, and as soon as it dodged, the two mechs actually shot at each other, and the saturation attack was extremely powerful, and both mechs were bounced off the mound after being shot.

"What a coincidence... Two unlucky bastards..."

All this happened very quickly, and the surviving mecha was still in a daze, and just let out a gloating emotion, but saw a blue light flash, and then the mecha was pitch black, and the system prompt sounded.

"The head armor was attacked, the environmental acquisition system was damaged, the damage was 99%, and the system collapsed."

Under the mound, a cloud of smoke and dust was splashed when the dragon warrior fell, and at this time, the muzzle of a gun exposed in the smoke and dust flashed with a glimmer of light...

The dragon warrior's ranged weapon can ignore the energy defense of the beam cathode wave, and the kid stands on the mound with a big target and hits the vital point in one fell swoop.

The other two mechs had not lost their combat effectiveness, but their armor was damaged, but when they regained their balance, they saw a yellow shadow already running into a nearby wood.

Within a few seconds, the battle situation suddenly changed like this, making the audience a little unable to come back to their senses, and it was not until they watched the slow motion again that they understood what was happening, and there were endless admiration and ridicule for a while.

"Hehe, look at that fat man, so close and so far away..."

"Damn, that pile of is lucky..."

"Haha, three stupid people, three to one, and let the family run away..."

"This group looks like it's all donkey eggs, but it's a good thing I didn't bet on them..."

In such a funny scene, not many people paid attention for a while - the anti-gravity system used by the dragon warrior when he jumped just now is a function that only hundreds of millions of superb mechas...

Ma Ping'an couldn't hear these 'praises', and when he saw that the trick had succeeded, he had already driven the dragon warrior to the middle of the woods and hid.

He chose a very good angle, through the cover of the jungle wood, but he could still roughly see the situation in both directions.

Seeing the dragon warrior disappear from sight for a while, the two injured mecha were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, and invariably pounced on each other, and raised their right arms at the same time...

The driving level of the two players is really good, and the flexible movement matches the choice of terrain, so that most of the attacks on each other are missed.

At this time, both of them could not afford to delay the time to launch a saturation attack, and the strengthened armor had no problem withstanding one or two attacks, and for a while, the blue light flew and it was lively.

This was a bit unexpected by Ma Ping'an, and he was very happy in his heart, hiding in the woods and watching the play with a smile.

The 'handsome guy' and the 'handsome guy' don't seem to like each other, and when the fight here is lively, on the left, the other two private mechs have also been in battle.

Although the two of them are obviously much inferior to the players of the two adventure groups, both mechs are limited editions.

The knight's offensive and defensive strength is higher, while the Sengoku is better in mobility, so the fight is also fierce, and after the crackling and crackling, green smoke has risen from many parts, which is a sign that the circuit system has been damaged...

There is an old saying in ancient China, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good material, and it is suitable to put it here, the level of the four mecha is not too much, and it is really energetic to catch each other and fight each other.

After about three minutes, the dragon warrior staggered out of the woods, and in front of him were four piles of things that resembled scrap metal...

"Uh... Is this a win? So, impulse is the devil..."

Ma Ping'an raised his right arm with emotion, and gave each of them a few shots to the key parts...

"The first group of the fourth group is over, and the player SH0872 wins..."
