Chapter 18: Intermission
"Bruce vs Incinerator...... The game is over. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info draw. ”
"Remind the tie rules that there are no rights to be rewarded in this game, and both sides will be rewarded with supplies," the AI system voice said calmly, "and the rights used in this game will carry over to the next game...... Since the Burner had just used a right of rejection, Bruce's right to challenge was nullified and the two sides would not meet in the next matchup. ”
Edward's face became more and more ugly, and he finally saw the weakness of the burner, and this game ended like this? And the burner actually used the right of refusal directly to refuse the next game? Damn it...... How can this be good, how can Bruce continue to fight in his current state?
"Since Bruce is no longer in a position to continue competing, you can choose to get a near-death repair at the cost of one entitlement, where the 'severely damaged' part of your body will be repaired and the original supply will be increased by 50%......"
Edward knew that he would lose money in this choice. Later in the game, any challenge and rejection was crucial, but in this situation, Bruce had to choose "near-death repair" in order to get a chance to survive in the rest of the game.
Or, after that, should you use the last right to challenge the incinerator again?
No, although there was already speculation about the weakness of the burner, Edward did not use Bruce's confidence in an immediate victory over his opponent.
What should I do?
At the same time that Edward was in a dilemma, the surrounding mechanical walls descended, revealing the entire arena.
First of all, the most eye-catching thing is that the number of Haloists has become seven. The two aura-sized mechs lost their aura, but the incinerator opposite Bruce gained it!
So far, the auras in the field are the Crusher, the Night Demon, the Dragon Sound, the Holy Angel, the Incinerator, the Sonic Speed, and the Steel Fist. Of these, the burner was closest to Edward, and the right to refuse refused the next battle with Edward.
With 23 competitors in the field, the number of eliminated mechs has increased significantly compared to the previous competition, even approaching the 50% that had not been reached before, which means that more and more players have begun to squander their rights.
Going forward, the right to challenge and reject will become very important, and the number of eliminated bodies per game will also be maintained at this level. This audition is already halfway through, and in order to maximize the value of the right, Bruce, who seems to be about to be scrapped on the surface, has also been directly challenged.
So...... What now? Used the right to object? Or use this right of refusal to repair the body?
"Guys, guys, how was the previous game? So far, we have eliminated 77 players, and the competition has been going on for almost 2 hours, and in the next 20 minutes, the players will have the opportunity to go to the lounge to rest," Michael said consciously and chicly when he reappeared on the giant projection, "During this break, the contestants are not allowed to use the Internet, but can only rely on actual communication and exchange information, this will be a very important opportunity, please cherish this opportunity." ”
The mechanical wall at the edge of the grid slowly rises.
"And during this time, I will bring the audience the battle highlights that have just been released~"
To the cheers of the audience, the door of the confinement chamber was opened, the brainwave resonance device was withdrawn, and Edward walked out of the conscription chamber somewhat dizzily.
"Edward," a girl's voice came from beside her, and it seemed to be Anne. The girl lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Edward, she was a little hesitant, a little worried, a little concerned, and a little shy, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Suppressing the intense discomfort on his body with all his might, Edward squeezed out a natural smile and said, "Okay couldn't be better." ”
……
……
"What! You say you're experiencing a 'dying swamp' phenomenon? Why don't you come to the medical department and the hospital? As soon as Edward explained why he would trigger the alarm during the game, Anne instantly exploded, "Did you know that this disease can be fatal!" ”
In the tuning room, the fighters were almost gone, leaving only some staff from the Department of Medicine and the Department of Information, and Edward's face instantly turned red when he saw Anne blowing up her hair in front of him like this.
"Yes," Edward scratched his head shyly, "but I'm sure I can hold on." ”
"You're kidding with your life, no, you can't let this go on, you have to stop the game immediately and go to me for treatment immediately......"
"This young lady from the medical department, it's not right for you to do this," interrupted Anne's words, a dark-haired girl, who seemed to have Oriental ancestry, was very petite, dressed in a Lolita dress, and interjected as if she had just passed by, "You don't understand the idea of a martial artist at all, you can't be a good personal doctor." ”
"I'm not his personal physician," Annie blushed, "this is the work area, please go to the lounge immediately!" ”
"Then why can't he go?" The black-haired girl smiled, then looked at Edward and stretched out her small hand to him, "Hello, let me know, my name is Lilith, Lilith Dylan." ”
"Uh...... I'm Edward, Edward Arthur. Gently shaking Lilith's hand, Edward realized that his brain had been short-circuited, and he saw Locks in the distance with a smile that I understood, waved at him and walked away alone.
WTF! What's going on! Why was I surrounded by girls in an instant! Why did some girls take the initiative to talk to me! Locks, what do you mean by that smile! Don't go, come and save me! How can I hold on to it alone! Feed!
"No, Edward, you have to come with me," Anne suddenly became serious, staring at Anne's blue eyes, Edward realized that she was serious, she really didn't want to let herself continue to play, she ...... It's really about your own life, "If you continue to fight like this, if something happens again......"
"I'm sorry."
Anne looked up at Edward, the confusion, confusion, and sadness made Edward's heart ache, but Edward continued: "I'm sorry, I have to keep playing, I have a reason why I can't give up, thank you for your concern, I'll be careful...... I ......"
"No thanks. In that case," Anne glanced at Lilith, and Anne turned to leave, tears already rolling in her eyes, but her voice was surprisingly calm, "I won't care if you trigger the alarm again." ”
"Annie!" Edward wanted to say something, but Anne had already quickened her pace and went to the co-tuning monitoring room, Edward wanted to catch up, but was stopped by a group of black-faced seniors in the medical department, and was told that it was a work area and that the contestants were forbidden to enter......
"Let's go to the lounge together, then," said Lilith, "and she's your friend?" ”
"Hmm," Edward said, looking back, a little disappointed.
"It's good to find a chance to explain to her later, let's go to the lounge now, after all, there are only 20 minutes to exchange information."
"Hmm." Turning his head to look at the hatch where Anne had disappeared, Edward quickly caught up with Lilith who was walking ahead.
……
……
"I hear it all." The man's magnetic voice suddenly came from behind Anne.
"Dr. White," Anne suppressed her tears, wiping away her tears as quickly as she could, "why do they gladiators not value life so much?" ”
"Is that why you studied medicine?" Dr. White took off his glasses and wiped them, "Who is it?" ”
"My father," Anne replied, snorting, turning around, "passed away in a robot fighting match." ”
"First of all, you have to put yourself in the shoes of a martial artist, and as a true doctor, you have to look at things not only from your own standpoint, but also from the standpoint of others." Dr. Wright put on his glasses, "Secondly, never underestimate the martial artists themselves, their potential is always above your predictions, you know?" ”
"Find a chance to ask him, the reason for the fight." Dr. White turned to the tuning room, waved his hand, and said, "Whether it's your friend or your father." ”
"Yes," said Anne, pursed her lips and holding back tears, "thank you." ”
……
……
"Rocks Webb, the Smasher, has long admired the great name~" Lilith said with a smile, "I'm Lilith, Lilith Dylan. ”
"Hello," Locks smiled and shook Lilith's hand, the contrast between their stature and height was stark, and from Edward's point of view, it looked like a father was holding his daughter......
"Edward, you're pretty bad," Locks said as he looked at Edward and punched Edward again, "but you can draw with your opponent's aura." ”
"Haha," Edward chuckled dryly, "what's there to do with a draw." ”
"Locks, this is your new opponent? After being defeated by me, your level is getting lower and lower? Suddenly, an elegant but ill-intentioned voice came from the side, a man in an evening dress, walking slowly under the avoidance of the crowd, "I don't know if you are worthy of being my opponent." ”
"Lilith, Edward, let me introduce you, this is Wilson, Albert von Wilson," Locks said to Edward without even looking at the man, "the mech is called the Holy Angel, and it is the perfect candidate for the runner-up this time." ”
"Ha, Locks, don't you think it's ridiculous," Albert said with a haughty mockery, "obviously he doesn't have the strength, but he has to be quick to speak." ”
"Hmph, I'm not like you, just pursuing flashy constructs."
"It's ridiculous to say as if you can understand what a 'build' is."
Just when the verbal confrontation between the two was about to reach its extreme, a Chinese man stopped between them, and Edward thought it was Lin Jue for a moment, but soon he realized that it was his own delusion. It was just a Chinese face, and the man looked around, looked at Albert and said, "You are the fighter of the 'Holy Angel', and your voice can be heard from afar." Meet me, I'm Wu Tao, the fighter of Long Yin. ”
Edward watched the strangers pop up one by one blankly, his mind was still full of Anne's affairs, but he didn't know that the strongest of the hundred people had already gathered around him.
