"Ten million euros?!" De Lyre's eyes widened, barely in disbelief at the price. His company has rented out a lot of virtual equipment, but the rent for just one day is tens of millions of euros, which he would never have dared to imagine before.

"The rent can be negotiated again, we are about to send four people to fly to Brussels overnight, and we hope to discuss the lease of the warship with you early tomorrow morning. As I believe you know, there is no limit to the number of entries in this "Starship" fleet competition, and it is impossible to enter the top three with the only battleship you have. And this time, only the top three will be rewarded with contribution points, and there is no benefit to getting the fourth place. So, you might as well rent us the battleship. ”

"Okay, I'm looking forward to meeting your guys tomorrow." De Lael was overjoyed, and the company would immediately earn an extra 10 million euros, oh, more than 10 million.

After hanging up, Dilere was still in ecstasy, but the phone rang again.

Immediately after connecting, a feminine and feminine voice sounded: "Hello, this is the French Administration of Galaxy Affairs." Are you Mr. De Lylere, please? ”

Are you also going to send money to yourself? Dilaire excitedly said: "Yes, I'm Dilaire. ”

"We would like to lease your small ship in the fleet competition, along with the crew of the ship, and we will pay you a satisfactory reward for it."

Dillaire coughed and said, "However, just now, the German Galaxy Affairs Bureau also wanted to rent my warship. ”

The voice on the phone became nervous: "You haven't signed with them yet, have you?" ”

"No, we agreed to talk tomorrow."

The people from the French Galaxy Affairs Administration breathed a sigh of relief, "We also sent someone to negotiate the rent with you, please don't rush to sign a contract with Germany first." ”

"Okay, I'll be there for you." De Lai made up his mind that the one with the highest price would get it, and it didn't matter who he rented it to.

……

In the afternoon of the second day, the office building of the Huaxia Galaxy Affairs Administration.

Xie Wanning was gathering the personnel of the Strategy Section to discuss and prepare to formulate an operational plan for the fleet competition. One of her men hurried in.

"Thank you, we've reached an agreement with the African Greatsword Game Guild, and they agreed to lease the battleship to us."

"Okay, great. Continue to negotiate with the other two game guilds to rent their ships. ”

The experts present were all talking and applauding. Waiting for that subordinate to leave, Xie Wanning looked around the venue and said, "We now have six warships, but not only can we borrow other warships, other countries will do the same, it is still very difficult to squeeze into the top three or even win the championship." We continue to discuss the battle plan. ”

Those countries that have only one warship. They have no hope of making the rankings and are likely to cooperate with other countries. And the warships acquired by private companies will definitely be leased to their own country or other countries for use. So when the competition really begins, the number of warships that each country has may be a little more than the original.

There were only six or seven people in the venue, all of whom were experts in the space battle of "Galaxy", and one of them said: "According to the detailed rules published on the official website of "Galaxy", we have to fight against the NPC pirate group and count the final score to determine the ranking. Although I don't know about this record score system, I think. We destroy different targets, and the weight of the score is definitely different. ”

Another said: "I agree with this, destroying a spaceship may score more than destroying fifty mechs." ”

The previous one continued: "With the technique of "Galaxy". This score count must be very scientific, anyway, as long as we follow the military principle and inflict heavy damage on the enemy at the minimum cost, the score will naturally be high. So. It is important to choose the target to attack first. It is better to cut off one of the enemy's fingers than to hurt ten fingers, and we must catch an enemy warship with a weak shield and storm it. If you can wreck one, it won't be a problem to win the championship. ”

Someone immediately objected: "I don't agree with this point of view, it is indeed a huge achievement to be able to destroy an enemy warship." But with our current strength, it is simply impossible to do so. The number of ships of the Pirate Regiment is higher than ours, and what we have to do is to preserve our strength. I think as long as we have fewer losses than the other teams, we win. ”

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and gradually formed a consensus, and finally Xie Wanning concluded: "Wander around the periphery of the main battlefield and maintain mobility." Points are earned mainly by destroying the pirate group's mechs. ”

As the days passed, the annual individual and team competitions were over.

Yue Xiaoshan made it all the way to the final, losing to the European players by a slight disadvantage in the final and winning the runner-up. Yao Wenwen failed to make it to the semi-finals and finished sixth.

Although added on an ad hoc basis, the Battleship Race is now considered the grand finale of the year, and all Galaxy players won't miss it.

There are countless discussions about this competition on the official forum of "Galaxy", and on the occasion of the annual competition of "Galaxy", countless players have posted lamentations.

"Thanks to the Wisdom Cube Company, thanks to Li Hao, I have seen a great civilization."

"I am very fortunate to be able to grow up in this era, to have Yaochi jade liquid to prolong my life, to be able to gallop in "Galaxy", and to have intelligent robots to work hard for me. This is the best era in human history, although there are still such and such shortcomings, but it is my luck to grow up in this era! ”

"On the occasion of the annual competition review of "Galaxy", I have three wishes: first, I hope that the new formula of Yaochi jade liquid will be successfully researched as soon as possible, so that I can prolong my life for more than 300 years; Second, I hope that "Galaxy" will reduce the difficulty and give me a base; I wish Mr. Li Hao no disasters and no difficulties, a safe life, and lead more scientific and technological changes. (Anyway, Mr. Li hasn't shown up for a long time, and I don't know where he traveled under the stars.) ）”

"On the occasion of the annual competition celebration of "Galaxy", I wish "Galaxy" more and more prosperous. Galaxy is a great game, oh no, Galaxy is a great civilization. ”

The impact of Galaxy has long since changed, with the number of concurrent players peaking at more than 600 million last month. That's just the number of people who are online at the same time, and the most conservative estimate is that the number of people who have played the game is over 1.5 billion, and the number of people using virtual headsets is even higher, at least more than 2 billion. This can be said to have opened up a second society in the human world.

Unlike previous online games, where young people were the majority, middle-aged and elderly people rarely entered, Galaxy attracted people of all ages.

The meaning of "Galaxy" is not only a game, but also a living specimen of a high-level civilization. Entering that futuristic world, in addition to playing mechas, you can also learn a lot of knowledge. In that future world, there is a lot to learn from the administration, legal system, corporate management, performance evaluation, humanities and arts, etc., in every aspect and every link.

Not to mention the big aspect, just talk about the clothing design of that world, which can give fashion designers infinite inspiration. Some of the clothing styles in "Galaxy" have gradually appeared in the real world.

Almost every aspect of human life is more or less imperceptibly influenced by "Galaxy".

Countless experts and scholars are studying various advanced systems and cultures in "Galaxy", a large number of papers have been published, and academic seminars on "Galaxy" are being held.

The background of "Galaxy" is about the peak of the level 2 civilization, or the stage of the embryonic level 3 civilization, taking the historical Water Cloud Federation as a sample. The setting of the game itself is a huge treasure trove, and people have come to realize the infinite value it contains.

So although "Galaxy" has not been running for too long, the impact of this online game on the entire human society is unprecedented. The Star Fleet competition has also attracted the attention of countless media, TV stations, newspapers, and the Internet are overwhelming with the news of the Star Fleet competition.

In order to expand the influence of this fleet competition, Li Ying convened a meeting of Su Jinbiao and others and decided to hold a virtual live broadcast, so that everyone could watch this huge space battle "live" in the virtual network.

Well, this is the first simulated space battle in the history of mankind, and with the participation of several countries, it is well worth watching.

At six o'clock in the evening Huaxia time, the dungeon space to watch the fleet competition opened, and countless players poured in. Television hosts from various countries entered the virtual space and began to explain the situation of their own fleets. If there is no fleet in their country to participate, the popular winning team will be explained.

Li Hao also entered the dungeon space with his sister to watch, and he also wanted to have a general understanding of the situation of various countries in "Galaxy". Bai Ling, Su Jinbiao and other senior executives of the company also accompanied them, and it was rare for the big boss to appear once, so he had to seize the opportunity to show his face in front of the big boss.

The top 20 players in the Diamond Group of the Huaxia Kingdom Galaxy Individual Tournament can submit an online application at this time for a chance to be selected to participate in the Fleet Competition.

All the professional players of Yue Xiaoshan's Starlight Clan have also entered the system in accordance with the requirements of the National Galaxy Affairs Administration.

In the huge space port, military mech players have already entered, gathering in groups that they usually train. Yue Xiaoshan and his party appeared in the space port, and a director of the E-sports Association immediately came over.

"Hello Leader!" Yue Xiaoshan looked at the person wearing the badge of the Electric Reality Association, and hurriedly greeted.

The supervisor patted Yue Xiaoshan on the shoulder: "Xiaoshan, you have been assigned to the First Mecha Squadron of the Fourth Battleship. You are the squadron leader, and you have 100 mechs under your command, and these are all your teammates. ”

"Yes."

"These teammates will be under your command after the battle begins, and you will also select players on the application list, gather enough 100 people, and then board the fourth battleship."

"Okay," Yue Xiaoshan said as the supervisor said, selecting people on the application list. For these unfamiliar players, he had to choose according to the qualifying score from high to low, and the first batch of 20 people was selected. White light flashes in the clearing, and 20 players appear around.

These players were excited: "Aha, I've been chosen, I can participate in the space battle, haha." ”

"There's a lot of people here."

"Ah, hill! You're a hill! "Some players recognized Yue Xiaoshan.

"Wow, it's really Xiaoshan, we want to be comrades-in-arms with Xiaoshan!"
