Chapter 11: The Great Scuffle
At this moment, the first Space Naval Battle Competition is in full swing.
There are more than a million people sitting in a megastadium in a place called Entertainment Satellite, and they're all looking at the center stage of the stadium.
On this stage, the master of ceremonies is commenting on the first game.
[Okay, the participants in Group A are ready.] Now, I and the commentator Octopus Brothers will introduce the special gameplay of this competition.
The first is this competition, which will introduce a manufacturing model.
The second one is the new 3D glasses!
The details are explained by the Octopus Brothers of the developer! ]
Behind the master of ceremonies, two octopuses sitting on chairs drinking tea began to speak.
Octopus brothers? Left: [Manufacturing mode, it's a whole new model.] When players enter the selection of ships, they will add an option, that is, to build the desired ship by themselves. Fragments of all ships that have appeared in the game will be provided in this tournament, and players will have to combine these pieces to build a new ship. Of course, you can also choose an existing ship to participate. By the way, this new mode will be added to the game the day after the tournament ends. ]
Octopus brothers? Right: [Then let me tell me about the new 3D glasses.] This new 3D glasses will be very different from the ones on the market. Because the 3D glasses we made can only be used to play the game of cosmic naval warfare. However, it will make the game more hands-on.
Let me bring these glasses for a demonstration. ]
The octopus took a special 3D glasses from the staff, which were similar in appearance to those on the market, similar to sunglasses.
However, when the octopus put on the glasses, a 3D screen appeared on his head.
Octopus brothers? Left: [You can see that when the holder wears the 3D glasses, everything he can see is displayed on the 3D screen above his head.] At the same time, the environment he saw was completely changed from 2D to 3D. To put it simply, it's immersive. With this pair of glasses, when you enter the game, it will no longer be a normal 2D choice, but you will be in your own exclusive base, no matter what kind of campaign or battleship you choose, what you see and feel will be very different from the previous one. ]
Octopus brothers? Right: [At the same time, 440 players will receive the glasses for free.] After the competition, the glasses will also be sold in the market at a price of 10,000g. ]
Master of Ceremonies: [Alright, that's the end of the explanation.] Now, let's invite our A team members to appear! ]
A total of 110 players took to the circular stage with a radius of one kilometer.
A total of 110 special chairs have already been set up on this stage, allowing the contestants to choose at will.
This chair is not an ordinary chair. Considering that most of the players are not human, they will be far from human in size. In order to solve this problem, the chair used in this contest is a chair that can change in size according to the size of the participants.
Its appearance is similar to that of those presidents in our reality. However, the interior design is much richer. It can play music, charge, bring its own WF (that is, our current WiFi), and most importantly, when a series of disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and house collapses occur, the internal CPU will automatically start the safety and life-saving program, generating a special barrier on the back of the chair to protect the person sitting on it.
At the same time, this chair can also solve the breathing problem, automatically turning the exhaust gas you produce into the gas elements you need to breathe, and there is emergency food inside.
Moreover, its degree of sturdiness is also extraordinary. Once the barrier is opened, even if you fall from the 100th floor (each floor is 3 meters high) to the ground, it will be intact.
A must-have for home travel!
Okay, the ads are sold out, now back to the game.
The preliminary round of Group A and Group B (a big melee of 110 people) was over in just one hour. The participants who entered the group stage, except for the seeded players, the rest were players with high rankings, which can be said to be the expected result.
However, there was one person in Group C who surprised everyone.
Master of Ceremonies: [Oh, it seems that the results of the scuffle in Group C have come out, and as expected, the seeded players have all successfully entered.] Wait, there's a very special player here! ]
The master of ceremonies put the appearance of this person on that large transparent screen, and all the audience could see that it was a beautiful girl with long yellow hair!
[Oh!] What an unexpected! This contestant named Experimenter No. 1 actually has a record of 1 win and 0 defeats, and the ID was created 1 day before the registration for the preliminary round closes! What a great newcomer! I don't know if she will be able to make it to the group finals! Let's wait and see! ]
At this time, the melee of Group C is over, and it is finally time to come to the most interesting Group D!
Ling deliberately blended in with the crowd in order to reduce exposure and try not to let others find out that he was Adidas. Although this can only be delayed for half an hour at most, it is better than nothing.
Now, like everyone else, he's on stage, finding the chair closest to him and sitting down, with brand new 3D eyes.
Start the game.
Here is another explanation, the attack power of everyone's warships in this melee is the same, the fuel and ammunition are unlimited, and the battleship can only be used one, so it is a personal skill.
As a result, most people choose to build a new battleship, and Ling is no different. Ling made the ship quite similar to the Nebula.
The playing field is the same for all the groups, in a cosmic space where nothing is present.
During the competition, the large screen was divided into four, and in each of them, the status of the more than 20 contestants was displayed.
Now, Ling is in a difficult situation.
Because, on the battleship of all people, the name and rank of the owner will be indicated. And Ling's second place has become the most dangerous codename.
At this time, nearly 40 warships surrounded him.
Ling: [Haha, trouble.] ]
Master of Ceremonies: [Oh!] It seems that Adidas, the second in our universe, is in danger, he is surrounded by nearly 40 warships, so what tactics will he use to escape this catastrophe? ]
Ling: [I also want to find a way, with 1 against 40, if I can survive, then I am a god.] ]
At this dangerous time, suddenly on the periphery of this encirclement, many bows were broken!
There were a total of 4 warships, each of which launched an attack on this encirclement, and many of them were shot down because they were too focused on Ling to defend against foreign enemies.
At this time, Ling also took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and escaped smoothly.
Ling: [Thank you!] ]
Ironclad: [Humph!] I just don't want you to be defeated like this, I'm going to go one-on-one with you in the official tournament and beat you in front of the whole universe! (5th place)
Ms. Tissue: [I'd love to fight you face to face!] (6th place)
Master of Ceremonies: [Oh!] It turned out that the remaining 4 seeded players launched an attack outside the encirclement, allowing Adidas to escape smoothly! Is this the legendary cyber friendship?! ]
Duck: [Hey, hey, Abbot, don't talk nonsense, we just want to beat this guy in front of everyone in the later games, so don't get me wrong!] (9th)
Master of Ceremonies: [What a friendship!] ]
Duck: [Listen to others!] ]
Great Love Novel: [Forget it, the emcee lives to stir up popularity, and he doesn't care what you say.] (8th)
In this way, thanks to the help of other seeded players, Ling successfully escaped and entered the group stage.
However, this contest is just the beginning of someone's evil plan!
