As the saying goes, people don't kill for themselves, even if it is a little alarmist, but it is an indisputable fact.

How about brothers? What about teammates from the same club? If you really meet on a narrow road, then you can't avoid a life-and-death battle after all.

Especially in the first stage of the five rounds of elimination, elimination means that the disqualification to continue fighting, in order to be able to go further, even those newcomers who know that they have no chance to go to the end are full of energy, hoping to have the opportunity to break into the second stage of the preliminary round, or even enter the rematch stage of the lower line.

I don't know if God favored the WIN who had a poor record this season, or because Hua Qingqing was too strong, the first round of the preliminary round of the battle took less than ten minutes to easily get rid of their respective opponents, if it wasn't for the time it took to find the opponent, it might not even take ten minutes, even Hou Ziang, who is not strong in basic skills, is no exception.

made a good start, and the opponents encountered were not difficult at all, so that in the eyes of Hua Qingqing, the opponents encountered in the first round of the game were at most the level of ordinary gamers, and they were not even IA game masters.

The first round took a very short time, but the wait for the next opponent was long.

I don't know what the mechanism of randomly matching opponents is, whether there are some procedural algorithms, but all players must follow the orders of the online referee, whether to start the game, and who to play, only the referee knows, and only after the referee invites the player, the player is eligible to enter the room to start the next round of the game, so when Hua Qingqing and they are about to enter the third round of the game, Hou Ziang has not even started the second round of the game.

Hou Ziang, who was a little bored, looked out of the simulator cockpit through the only small window, and saw that Mu Qing, who did not appear at first, had already sat next to Xiong Tianci and them at some point, and was whispering something to the people around him, although due to the sound insulation effect of the simulator, Hou Ziang couldn't hear the specific content of their conversation, but he thought he was talking about today's game.

But while talking, Mu Qing suddenly turned his head to talk to Yu Xiaoming behind him, and then got up again and left the simulation training center within a few seconds.

Mu Qing went to find Hu Xiaopeng.

This is the only thought that comes to Hou Ziang's mind sitting in the simulator, because it is not only Hou Ziang and Hua Qingqing who are participating in the professional qualification tournament today, but also his master Hu Xiaopeng.

It's just that Hu Xiaopeng was not in the simulation training center at this time, and he didn't use the IA simulator of the simulation training center like Hou Ziang and them, but used the professional-grade IA simulator specially provided by WIN to the design and development department.

Although before the game, including Xiong Tianci, they persuaded Hu Xiaopeng to come to the simulation training, so that it was convenient for everyone to watch the game together, but Hu Xiaopeng insisted on staying in the design and development department on the third floor.

As for the reason, Hu Xiaopeng said it very directly, that is, the enhanced IA simulator with a model of WPE3020 in the design and R&D department is far more expensive and better than the simulator that the simulation training center can provide to him for competition.

Is the IA simulator in the design and R&D department much better than the IA simulator in the simulation training center?

Of course not, at least Xiong Tianci Although the simulator they use belongs to different models of products produced by different companies with Hu Xiaopeng's simulator, the performance indicators of the simulator and the market price are actually almost the same, and they are all top products in the professional-level IA simulator, but this is limited to Xiong Tianci's exclusive IA simulator for professional players.

For example, Hua Qingqing and others, even if they participated in such an important competition, the IA simulators they used at this time were just the professional-level simulators that Xiong Tianci eliminated a few years ago.

Elimination is elimination, but even if it is eliminated, it is a professional-grade emulator, not comparable to a gaming-level IA emulator.

This is like the second-generation IA, although it has been obsolete, even if the performance is not as good as the generally installed third-generation IA, and it cannot be compared with the stronger fourth-generation IA, it is still an IA machine, and it is the strongest weapon that can be used by local military and police when performing special tasks.

Therefore, Hu Xiaopeng's reason can only be an excuse, because when Mu Qing came to the design and development department on the third floor, he had already heard the constant humming sound in the computer room before he could get close to room 301, where the simulator was located.

Hu Xiaopeng is not in the game, is there a problem with the simulator? He's repairing the simulator?

With all kinds of questions, Mu Qing took out the identification card with the highest authority in the WIN club.

Swipe the card, just listen to the sound of a tick, and the door will pop open automatically.

"Xiaopeng, you...... What are you doing? ”

Mu Qing, who pushed open the door, did not take a step into the room, not because she didn't want to enter, but because she couldn't enter at all.

In the room of hundreds of square meters, in addition to the simulator inside the glass curtain wall is still what Mu Qing remembers, the space of forty or fifty square meters outside is filled with piles of unknown machines, even the supercomputer in the corner is no exception, and there are several large and small parts boxes piled up on the high main chassis.

As for Hu Xiaopeng, at this time, he was sitting in front of the row of long tables facing the glass curtain wall, fiddling with many parts, and except for one monitor on the long table, the monitors that were originally placed here were pushed into the corner of the long table.

"Xiaoqing, who else should I be, it scared me."

Hearing Mu Qing's voice, Hu Xiaopeng turned his head slightly to look at Mu Qing, but his work did not stop, and after glancing at the monitor in front of him, Hu Xiaopeng lowered his head again and got busy.

"Xiaopeng, why didn't you go to the game? No matter how busy the modification is, there is no hurry. ”

Seeing that Hu Xiaopeng was busy again, it was obvious that he was catching up with the modification progress for a certain IA, and he was definitely a good employee that any boss wanted the most.

But even if this is the case, then you can't give up the qualifiers, and then Mu Qing didn't care if there was a place to settle under her feet, so she stumbled over to Hu Xiaopeng.

"Competitions? It's my ......."

"Huh? Is it my turn? Wait a minute, I'll get that guy first......"

Seeing Mu Qing coming over, Hu Xiaopeng wanted to explain, but he didn't think that as soon as he was halfway through his words, Hu Xiaopeng found that a prompt window inviting the game popped up in the monitor in front of him.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaopeng smiled at Mu Qing, supported the table with one hand, and quickly got into the glass curtain wall after directly turning over the long table.

Sitting in the simulator, without waiting for the simulator's cockpit to close, Hu Xiaopeng, who injured the simulator helmet, had already accepted the invitation to the game, and then entered the interface to read the game map.

As soon as the cockpit door of the simulator was closed, Hu Xiaopeng's fourth game finally officially began.

"What? The fourth round? He's in the fourth round? ”

Seeing the rounds of the game prompted in the monitor in front of him, Mu Qing was immediately a little speechless, because if he remembered correctly, when he just went downstairs, Hua Qingqing and the others had just started the third round of the game, and Hou Ziang's second round of the game had not yet started, but Hu Xiaopeng had already entered the fourth round of the game, what kind of speed was this?

What surprised Mu Qing even more was that in addition to Hu Xiaopeng, there were already people who had entered the fourth round of the competition at this time, could it be that the level of this year's professional qualifying tournament was so high?

Or is it that the level of this year's professional qualifying tournament is particularly low, so Hu Xiaopeng will enter the fourth round of the competition at a rapid speed?

Sitting on the chair next to Hu Xiaopeng's position just now, Mu Qing, who was about to watch the game carefully, suddenly found that the first-person view of the monitor at this time seemed to be a little different from what he saw before.

There is no doubt that this is not the OB perspective commonly used when watching the game, but Hu Xiaopeng synchronized the game footage in the simulator with this monitor.

Although Mu Qing didn't know how Hu Xiaopeng was synchronized, looking at the entire qualifying tournament, there were definitely few people who would do it, and they might even be the only one.

Because if you just want to watch the game, it may be more convenient to watch the live broadcast screen in real time through the Internet, not only can you switch the game screen of each player by room number, but you can also use the OB perspective to have a bird's-eye view of all the actions and battle processes of the two sides.

And the reason why Hu Xiaopeng did this, of course, has only one purpose, that is, he can see the invitation message sent to him by the referee in time, so that he will not be forced out of the game because he is absent.

Thinking of this, and then looking at the mechanical parts piled up on the long table next to him, Mu Qing really didn't know whether to be helpless or relieved.

But no matter what it was, Mu Qing didn't have time to think about it at this time, because after the game was just announced, something happened that surprised Mu Qing even more.

Since the perspective that Mu Qing was watching at this time was Hu Xiaopeng's first combat perspective, unless Hu Xiaopeng moved, he couldn't tell everything around him at all, and he couldn't even tell what type Hu Xiaopeng's IA was.

At the beginning of the competition, Mu Qing didn't feel anything, because Hu Xiaopeng just drove the IA around a few times, but as the picture in the display suddenly moved down and began to move quickly in the air, looking at the ground facilities that were speeding by, looking at such skillful control, Mu Qing couldn't believe his eyes.

This is an air combat type IA? In the fourth round of the competition, Hu Xiaopeng not only randomly produced an air combat IA? And how skilled can he be?

Without hesitation, Mu Qing immediately gave up the idea of watching Hu Xiaopeng's first-person perspective, and hurriedly got up and moved another monitor from the corner, preparing to find the live broadcast of the game on the Internet.

As the world's top and most popular competitive event, IA Athletic is naturally concerned and hot, and although the qualifying tournament for selecting professional players is not as popular as the regular event, it is not troublesome to find the picture of the live broadcast platform.

It's just that Mu Qing has never looked for it by herself before, so it took two or three minutes to finally enter the live broadcast platform for what was originally a very simple matter.

And when Mu Qing entered the room number of the game where Hu Xiaopeng was, just as the OB perspective picture was just presented in front of Mu Qing's eyes, waiting for Mu Qing to choose the angle, a prompt window suddenly popped up.

"It's over."

"What's going on? How did the game end? ”

A little unable to believe his eyes, Mu Qing refreshed the live broadcast page again, and this time, not to mention the selection screen that entered the OB perspective, I didn't see it, and even the previous words "The game is over" have disappeared, replaced by a prompt message of "There is no game in the room yet".

"Hehe, the opponent is a defensive IA, with rough skin and thick meat, and it took him half a day to get it......"

Just when Mu Qing didn't recover from his surprise, Hu Xiaopeng's voice came directly from the direction of the glass curtain wall, and he saw Hu Xiaopeng coming out of the simulator, and then walked to his side with a smile.

Half a day to get it? Where is this half a day?

From turning on the monitor by yourself to finding the live broadcast platform to enter the game screen, it doesn't seem to take two or three minutes before and after, so can it be done in half a day?

Ignoring Hu Xiaopeng, Mu Qing hurriedly began to rummage through the live broadcast review of the game just now.

Soon, the replay screen was presented in front of Mu Qing's eyes, looking at the game in front of him, where can this still be called a game? It is clearly an extremely cruel torture.

Airdropped, all kinds of ammunition rained down on the opponent's body.

The melee raid, accompanied by the throwing of melee ammunition, Hu Xiaopeng's melee combat also started at the same time.

Just over a minute later, Hu Xiaopeng ended the fourth round of his preliminary round with zero losses.
