On a certain planet, there is a large company, and on the top floor of this company, there is a large room, which is simply furnished, and there is a large desk and small chair in it.

A man in a fancy suit is sitting at his desk working on papers, while behind him a woman in a black shirt and skirt stands, holding the documents that the man has approved.

The man in the fancy suit asked when he finished all the paperwork at hand.

[How's she going?] ]

[A message has just been sent from the lab that it is about to enter the final stage and can be completed before the start of the competition.] ]

The man began to fall silent, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

[President, can you tell me why you need to do this?] ]

[Because it's fun!] ]

[For that reason?] ]

[Of course, there are more reasons than that.] If the experiment goes well, we will be able to control even the military in the future. ]

[I see, worthy of the president.] ]

[Tell the lab to finish her quickly.] ]

[I see, let's go.] ]

Underneath the company, there was a large laboratory with all sorts of equipment that I didn't even recognize, several researchers in white coats operating computers, and several researchers standing in front of a special container.

The container, made of clear glass on the outside, contained a green unidentified liquid inside. And among these liquids, there is a girl with long yellow hair and about 15 years old, who is sleeping inside.

Who is this girl?

When the man said her, did he mean this girl?

And what is the secret of this girl?

On the other side, the Nebula is still flying.

This is already the fifth day after registration, and according to the schedule, today, it should be the day when you will get the news to participate in the preliminaries.

The five people got up early and sat in the control room, waiting for the news to arrive.

At around 10 a.m. that day, Ling received a message telling him to go online in 15 minutes. (That's what it means to enter the game.) )

According to the request, Ling went online immediately, and then after waiting for about 10 minutes, he received an online customer service message, asking him to enter a specific room and play a game with a group of people.

Ling knew at a glance that this preliminaries were specially made. Because there are 18 people in the room, it means that there will be a game of 9 people. The grouping should be based on network rankings.

In less than a minute, everyone was done in groups.

They all received a match message, that is, 9 people, each of whom chose 3 bow battleships, and played in teams.

In the match, the side that successfully and completely shoots down the opposing ship wins. However, if someone on the winning side shoots down all 3 of their ships, then that person will be disqualified.

Kenyi: [Holy!] Really fake! Do you want to win or protect yourself at the same time? It's too difficult. ]

Filina: [That's not the point, you see, Ling's group, except for Ling, everyone else is ranked after the top 500, and the opponent's group is all before the top 200, isn't there a big difference in strength?] ]

Fanker: [And it doesn't seem like one of the nine people was chosen as the commander.] In that case, isn't it chaotic to fight? ]

Haruka: [And it's not that simple this time.] The last sentence means that if there is a person on your side who is very high-ranked, then they may end up shooting that person down in order to have a strong opponent in the official match. ]

Filina: [Isn't this preliminaries equal to Ling having to play 17 people at a time?!] ]

Ling: [Oh!] Isn't that interesting? ]

Kenichi: [You look confident?!] ]

Ling: [Don't worry, I'm not going to throw in easily!] ]

Then, Ling began to choose a battleship.

This time, there are a lot of types to choose from, in addition to the usual three types, there are also special combat types (fast speed, high attack), support (ships that can replenish various ammunition and fuel for our team), repair types (can repair ships instantly, except for those that are completely destroyed), and fly clutch type (can divide the ship into three and combine them again). However, the speed is average, the attack power is also average, and the defense is high).

Haruka: [Well, do you think it's better?] ]

Fanker: [Seems to be awesome!] ]

Ling: [No, in this case, I'll choose the support type.] One bow support type, one bow repair type, plus one bow split fit type. ]

Kenichi: [Oh!] That's fine! If you are a support type or a repair type, you are not afraid of being betrayed by your own people, but it is very dangerous if you lack these two! ]

However, because this game is special, I don't know what kind of ship my teammates have chosen, so I don't know until I enter the game, and at the same time, I can communicate with my teammates after entering the game.

The scene of this nine-man battle is a cosmic space that is half empty, and the other half is a rock belt, that is, there are a lot of floating stones in it.

However, once you entered the game, everyone was shocked!

Because, the other side is all offensive and defensive! (Each one is two bow attack type and one bow defense type)

Moreover, his own choice is exactly the same as Ling's!

Fanker: [Hey!] This lineup looks dangerous! ]

Kenichi: [Both attack and defense are worse than opponents, how can you fight!] ]

At this time, there is already chaos on their side!

Everyone is passing the buck and blaming their teammates!

However, Ling said loudly!

[The race has begun!] There is no turning back! If you still want to win! Just make a bet with me! ]

The eight of them immediately fell silent. Because, Ling's ranking is second, and it is also the highest ranking in this game, maybe this person, there is really something to do.

However, they will not be given time to discuss.

At the beginning of the game, they drove at full speed to their opponents, because at a glance they could see the difference in strength between the two sides, so speed was the best solution.

And the ones chosen here are slightly worse than the other party in terms of speed, and even if they run for their lives, they will catch up with others than others.

Therefore, Ling suggested.

[Let's go into the rock belt!] There, we'll be able to fight each other to the death! Take my word for it, just follow me. ]

Ling's three-bow battleship immediately flew towards the rock belt.

And the other 8 people, except for one who has completely given up, everyone else follows Ling.

After about 10 minutes, the opponent got rid of the guy who had given up the game and chased after him.

Fortunately, by the time of the heavy attack, they had successfully entered the rocky formation.

Since their ships are small, flying in rocky areas of this size is not much of a problem, and they will not easily touch those rocks.

However, the opponent's ships are all high-level and large warships, and if you fly in the rocky area, it will be easier to hit the rocks and cause damage to the hull. Therefore, at this time, the other party temporarily stopped acting and began to discuss.

Ling, on the other hand, lost one person (that is, three ships) and two repaired ships. By the time they were talking, they had already entered the center of the rocky belt.

Ling: [Let's start arranging.] ]

The remaining 7 people all followed Ling's arrangement and began to quickly carry out the arrangement here.

Kenichi: [Why doesn't the other side fire cannonballs from a long distance to break all these rocks?] Wouldn't that make it easy to avoid the rocks and attack you? ]

Ling: [No, because of the limited ammunition, even if all the ammunition is fired, it will only be able to break through three-quarters of this rock belt at most, as long as our support type can have two bows safe, then the opponent will inevitably be defeated!] ]

Haruka: [So the other party doesn't dare to do this?] ]

Filina: [What if the opponent uses the defensive type to open the way in front?] Isn't the defense of the defensive type very high? In this way, we will be able to protect the aggressive type and attack you smoothly! ]

Ling: [That's right, I think that's what the other party is going to do!] ]

After more than 10 minutes, the other party finally acted! And their choice is really as Filina said, using the defensive type to open the way in front of the attacking battleship, so as to attack while rushing.

And at this time, Ling and they were all ready.

When the other party came to the designated area, the rocks around them suddenly exploded! Caused smoke to appear in a large area!

However, the smoke does not stop the radar from detecting it.

The other side relied on radar and began to defend.

At this time, their own flying clutch body type appeared, and they were all divided into three bows, carrying out assaults in all directions.

8 people, a total of 24 bow-flying clutch type battleships (24 refers to the number of separate states), no matter how high the opponent's defense and attack power are, in the face of such a large number of warships, it is really difficult to break them all at once!

Just when the opponent was disturbed by the detached merge type, the remaining 5 bow repair types appeared, and their attack was witnessed by the 5 bow defense type at the forefront!

As everyone knows, the repair type doesn't have much attack power, and its defense is average. However, they have large repair tools that, if done properly, can not only be repaired, but also dismantled!

In addition, most of the power on the support type is concentrated on the repair type, which greatly increases the defense of the repair type for a short time.

Thus, the repair version smoothly approached the 5-bow defense type at the very front of the enemy and began to carry out demolition work.

The other party was very helpless, not that they didn't want to attack and retreat, but they were tripped by the rocks here! As a result, the attacking types in the rear could not retreat smoothly. Coupled with the interference of the flying clutch size, the retreat was even more unsmooth.

At the same time, the 5-bow defensive type in front was quickly and completely dismantled after the opponent's repair type was dismantled.

Immediately afterward, Ling took advantage of this time to launch a general attack, and all the support warships fired the ammunition in their hands at the opponent with all their might! (The amount of ammunition on a one-bow support ship is equivalent to the amount of ammunition on a three-bow attack ship.)

Although in terms of attack power, the support type is inferior to the attack type. However, now, in the case of confusion on the other side, using the number of people, they carried out intensive attacks, and easily destroyed all the opponent's warships!

Therefore, this victory belongs to them!

Fanker: [I'm a little puzzled, why did you use the repair type to solve the 5-bow defense type in front of you first?] Since they all have plenty of ammunition, why not get rid of them all at once? ]

Ling: [It's because the defense of these defensive types is really high, even if the one bow support type puts all the ammunition in, it can only solve two bow defense types at most.] ]

Okay, no matter what, Ling successfully passed the preliminaries and is about to go to the venue to start the real battle!
