Chapter 126: The City of Doom
Once the goals of the team have been established, there is one last thing to discuss, and that is to choose a name for the team.
Conrad's "Wild Iron Man" was unanimously rejected by his teammates for the simple reason that the name was so ugly that Conrad's aesthetic was ridiculed by everyone. However, everyone still saved a little face for Conrad, and decided to leave the word "wild", everyone came up with ideas, and after more than half an hour of gossiping and arguing, in the end, Miao Ruolan's "Wild Star Spirit" won the approval of most of the team.
Xin Lin didn't care about the name of the team, and didn't participate in much discussion, but he also recognized the name Wild Star Spirit, at least it was much better than Wild Iron Man.
His martial arts style is to take the wild and violent road, and the biggest secret is telepathy, the word star spirit and the soul are the same sound, and the combination of the two is exactly the name of the team, which can only be said to be a coincidence.
After that, more than an hour of celebration, everyone was drunk, with a vision of the team's future, the team members agreed to build virtual avatars tomorrow, start training tomorrow night, and then disperse until late at night, and go back to their dormitories to rest.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xin Lin came out of the training room and went to the building where the virtual server of the training camp was located.
The virtual server of the training camp is the same as what Xin Lin saw in Europa, and the process of setting up the avatar is no different, with the last experience, Xin Lin turned off telepathy when scanning his body, and sure enough, the scanner did not detect any problems, and successfully brought telepathy into the virtual world.
In the evening, Xin Lin logged into the virtual world from the induction pod in the training room.
The other team members are not treated so well, and the supply of the induction cabin in the training camp has always been relatively tight, and they can only enter the virtual world from the sensor terminal in the dormitory, and the effect is the same, but the experience is not as comfortable as in the induction cabin.
Xin Lian's eyes flashed, and he appeared in a hall of tens of thousands of square meters, and there were people coming and going in the hall, all of whom were students of the Kryptonite Hand Training Camp. Above the lobby hung more than a dozen huge screens, one of which showed the team win percentage leaderboard for the training camp, and the rest of the screens were footage of multiple matches being streamed.
This is the peak time for the team to compete, and most of the trainees in the training camp are in the virtual world.
Xin Lonely watched those live broadcast scenes, some in the forest, some in the city streets, some in the mountains, as well as swamps, caves, space cities, the interior of warships, and the wilderness of the Gobi...... The environments are all realistic, with students wearing armor and armed weapons, fighting alongside their teammates and fighting their opponents!
There are thousands of scene maps in the Star Wars League, and there are few duplicates, and in official matches, you can either specify the map or choose it randomly, as long as both parties agree.
Xin Xiao looked at it for a few minutes, and the system prompted that he received a message:
"Conrad Conan invited you to join Team Wild Starling, do you agree?"
"Agreed."
Xin Xiao chose to agree, the scene around him changed, and the next moment he came to a spacious martial arts training ground, and his eyes swept and found that Conrad was the only one present.
"Xin Lone, I just registered the team, this martial arts training ground will be the exclusive meeting point of our team in the future, you take a look first, I have brought in the other teammates." Conrad said with a smile.
"Okay."
Xin Lin nodded and walked around.
This is a very common martial arts training ground, using the default environment mode of the virtual world, an ancient Chinese style open-air courtyard, the area of the courtyard is thousands of square meters, bluestone floors, there is a long weapon rack in the corner, including cold weapons and hot weapons, everything.
Xin Xiao watched while seriously feeling his virtual avatar, the perception of his facial features was very real, the thirty-eight Force nodes in his body were exactly the same, and the strength and speed of his body had not weakened by half a minute, and it was completely a copy of reality.
The most important telepathy has also been brought in, but it is the same as in the Star Cup, the range and strength are slightly weaker, but it does not affect the use, and it is enough to operate normally in the virtual world.
A few minutes later, Conrad joined all the team members and pulled them into the training ground.
Conrad clapped his hands, asked the team members to come closer, and said with a smile: "Today is the first official training of our team, I know everyone is very excited, don't talk nonsense, let's just start it in the evening!" ”
"Good!"
The team members responded loudly, one by one, their eyes full of desire to fight.
Conrad paused and continued: "I won't repeat the rules of the game, everyone is from the college league and has a lot of experience, except for Xin Lone, of course......"
Everyone's eyes turned to Xin Lian, and let out a kind laugh.
Xin Lin spread his hands to express his helplessness, and said: "Don't worry, although I haven't played in the college league, I have watched a lot of games, and I have done some homework on strikers recently, so I promise that I will not lag behind." "He's telling the truth, because he knows he's going to be playing on a team, he took a few hours out of his last week to learn about the duties and style of play of a striker on the field, and he watched some videos, which was enough to cope with the game.
"Hahaha, we're afraid of holding you back." Conrad laughed, and the team all nodded in agreement.
Although Xin Lin lacks experience in official competitions, no one dares to underestimate half a point, just with the strength that Xin Lin showed in the evaluation, even if he is a novice, he can play a huge role. To be honest, a few team members are under pressure, and if they are teammates with someone as strong as Xin Lone, if they don't perform well and set off in reverse, it will be a tragedy.
After laughing, Conrad nodded and said, "Okay, then let's play a training match with a designated scene first, and if there is any problem, we will review and discuss it after the game." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand to summon the holographic interface, entered the training mode, specified a scene map, and waited for the virtual system to arrange the opponent.
This scene map is called Doomsday City, a city that has been bombed by nuclear bombs, the area is not large, only more than 100 square kilometers, most of the buildings were destroyed by nuclear explosions, ruins everywhere, and there is a very high concentration of nuclear radiation left, which makes many animals and plants that survived mutate, and the ruins are full of dangers, not a dead silence.
After the two teams enter the scene, the only condition for victory is to destroy the opponent, leaving no one behind.
Among the countless scene maps of the Star Wars League, Doomsday City is one of the simplest but most classic maps, almost every Star Wars samurai has entered this map, which is deeply loved by people, and many new teams choose Doomsday City as one of their daily training scenarios.
While waiting for the system to match the opponent, Conrad began to arrange the lineup, announcing: "In the first game, we will play according to the regular configuration, and the six main players will remain the same, Bradley, Tianyi, Selina, the three of you will be substitutes first, ready at any time, and if someone dies, they will be replaced." ”
"Okay." The three substitutes nodded calmly in agreement.
They were mentally prepared before entering the team, they were well aware of their responsibilities, and the strength of the six main players was stronger than themselves, so they had no complaints to say.
After a minute, the system prompts: "The opponent is ready, please enter the battlefield." ”
Conrad's gaze swept over the faces of his teammates, and he held out a hand, and the others folded their hands together in unison, "Victory!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Conrad, as the captain, confirmed to enter the battlefield.
In a flash, nine people appeared in a dimly lit basement with two rows of open weapons cabinets in the corner, and the exit door was blocked by a blue light curtain with a three-minute countdown on it.
These three minutes are the team's preparation time, and when it's over, the light curtain will be removed and the battle will officially begin.
Everyone was familiar with this, and without the slightest hesitation, they picked out the weapons they needed in the weapons cabinet. Each person can only choose one, and when the war starts, the remaining weapons will disappear.
Conrad and Han Yu each took a shield, which was their only option as a tank, and then if they had the chance, they would get another weapon from the enemy or on the battlefield; Miao Ruolan took a multi-functional alloy dagger with a strange shape, which was her best weapon; Both Link and Bruce opted for laser rifles; Others also choose weapons according to their duties.
Xin Lin thought about it, and still picked a Gauss pistol for himself.
This is a classic pistol of the Silver Eagle series, the silver body is longer and heavier than an ordinary pistol, more than thirty-five centimeters, extremely powerful, with a range of more than five hundred meters, a magazine with 160 rounds, and a large recoil that ordinary people simply can't use.
In addition to weapons, the virtual system equips everyone with a well-fitting set of light armor as well as a holographic combat helmet. Light armor doesn't have energy power, and its protection is not as good as it could be, it can only withstand two or three shots, which is equivalent to a shrunken version of power armor, but it can save someone's life at a critical moment, and no one will bother not to wear it.
Xin Lin happened to be learning the use of power armor recently, including the wearing of light armor, very skillfully put on a set of black armor on the body, and finally put on a holographic combat helmet, the picture flashed in front of him, and the intelligent system built into the helmet was activated.
A secondary screen appears in the field of view, similar to the game's interface, which can be operated by eye movement.
In the upper left corner of the screen is the teammate status; In the upper right corner is a holographic map that marks your location; The lower left corner is the environmental situation behind you, which makes up for the problem of blind spots; In the lower right corner, you will find information about your status, the degree of armor wear, your physical health, whether you are injured, the condition of your weapons and ammunition, and so on.
Conrad immediately set up an encrypted communication channel, and the avatars of his teammates appeared in the upper left corner of the screen, lined up, and their status was displayed below the avatars: normal.
"Okay, everybody listen to me."
Conrad's voice sounded inside the helmet, "I've already read the opponent's information, they are the Red Flame Heart team of the Thunderstorm Training Camp, they have been established for less than three months, and their record is 27-31, and the winning rate is not more than half, so it's just a tabula rasa team, and the strength is definitely not as good as ours, and they are unlucky to meet us today." ”
There was a chuckle in the communication channel, and everyone seemed relaxed.
After the players finished laughing, Conrad's face turned straight and continued: "But we can't take it lightly, in the first battle, we must show 100% strength and strive for victory!" ”
"There's 90 seconds left, and now I'm going to set up the tactics."
All the team members gathered around, and Conrad's holographic helmet shot out of his ears a three-dimensional image of a map of Doomsday City.
"The map of the scene of Doom City is very simple, the whole city is roughly quadrangular, we are in the southwest corner, and the opponent is in the northeast corner." Conrad pointed to the corners at both ends of the map, where there were nine green dots in the lower left corner representing himself and his teammates, and nine red dots in the upper right corner representing opponents.
After the battle began, the hologram could no longer be opened, and neither side could know the enemy's location.
"There are three places in this scene that can affect the difference between victory and defeat, and they are all left over from the nuclear explosion, which is the robot barracks in the northwest direction in the upper left corner of the map, the weapons arsenal in the lower right corner of the map, and the power armor research institute in the center of the city."
"There are more than a hundred robots in the robot barracks that can also be activated, each robot is equipped with long-range weapons, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, but it is difficult to control them, and you need to crack the intelligence core, this task is handed over to Bruce, and it just so happens that you are an expert in this area."
"No problem." Bruce nodded, he had been to Doomsday before, and was quite familiar with the robot barracks.
Conrad pointed to the lower right corner of the map and continued: "Next is the arsenal, which contains a large number of weapons and ammunition, including ultra-long-range sniper rifles, high-frequency cutting knives, high-power energy shields, metal hydrogen bombs, jetpacks, portable plasma cannons, etc., if you can take down the arsenal and fully arm, this battle will be half won, even if you can't take it, you have to blow up the arsenal and not let the opponent get it." ”
"Finally, there is the Power Armor Research Institute in the center of the city, where there is a pair of intact Electrolight Nine armor, I don't need to say much about its power, as long as you wear it, you can sweep the whole field."
"However, there is a group of mutated biochemical dinosaurs entrenched outside the research institute, they are all cyborg creatures, there are more than thirty of them, very terrifying, in the absence of robots to open the way or take down the arsenal, it is difficult to bypass them to get the power armor, so the research institute does not care about it for the time being, unless it is considered at an emergency or decisive moment."
Conrad quickly briefly explained the situation in Doomsday City, and finally made an assignment, saying: "In this battle, our soldiers are divided into two ways, and I, Ruolan and Link will go to the weapons depot in a group of three. Xin Lian, you act together with Han Yu and Bruce to try to control the robot. Three substitutes were on standby, waiting to be played. ”
"Under normal circumstances, the opponent will not be divided into two sides like us, they will concentrate their personnel to grab one of the locations, so it is very likely that one of our teams will encounter the main force of the opponent, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, as long as we can hold the opponent and prevent them from succeeding, and wait until the other side succeeds in winning, we will win."
"Understood." Teammates responded in unison.
"Okay, let's go." Conrad exclaimed.
At this time, the three-minute countdown was over, and the light curtain at the exit of the basement disappeared, and the six people immediately rushed out with all their might.
