One day later, the first stage of the ranking contest ended.

With the exception of Island 22, all of the remaining 199 islands were won by the escapees.

This extreme phenomenon has caused heated discussions across the country, and everyone has complained that the first stage of this ranking contest is too unfair to the pursuers.

The event's organizer, Earth Guardians, did not give any explanation for this hot spot.

Because of today's heated discussion, compared to a few days later, after the end of the ranking competition, people found that the eliminated people did not wake up, which is good.

"Cangling, how many people are left now?"

At this time, Ma Zhen and Cangling were sitting together under the big ginkgo tree in the courtyard, drinking tea.

Cang Ling clicked the tablet in his hand a few times, "There are still 28,760 people left." ”

"Hey!" Cang Ling stopped Ma Zhen, who was about to slap the table, "Your desk has been damaged twice, you can't break this table anymore!" ”

Ma Zhen glanced at his raised right hand, laughed dryly, put his hand down, and drank a cup of tea.

"It's already the best result, and it's ......"

Cang Ling wanted to speak and stopped, she originally wanted to tell Ma Zhen about the only group where the pursuer won, but she thought about it, saying this may not be a good thing for Lin Yu, for the purpose of cherishing talents, Cang Ling did not continue.

"And what?" Ma Zhen held the teacup, frowned, did not drink the water in the teacup, his eyes looked at Cang Ling.

"And there is a second stage, although we only have two stages in this ranking competition, but we must be prepared before the start of the second stage to correctly minimize casualties, and on the DropDream side, I will continue to communicate with them and strive to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible."

Cang Ling said a bunch of clichés, but that's it, so Ma Zhen couldn't find fault with it.

"The schedule for the second phase is still relatively optimistic."

Ma Zhen took a sip of the tea in the cup.

"Oh?" Cang Ling looked at Ma Zhen, who was drinking tea.

"You forget, the content of the second stage of the competition was agreed upon by me and DropDream."

"What's the content?"

"Race!"

"Racing?" Cang Ling looked confused, "Race run? Big brother, you're not mistaken, right? ”

Ma Zhen smiled: "Of course it's not a simple race, there will be monsters on the road, and the corresponding points will be obtained according to different speeds, and then they will be added to the points in the first stage to rank." ”

Cang Ling nodded, "That's it, that means that people won't be eliminated in the second stage?" ”

"What do you want? If you don't do well in the second stage, more people will be eliminated, do you think the monsters on the road are just ordinary monsters? That's a DropDream company combined with the monsters in various games on the market specially designed,I learned about it,Although most of the small monsters in front can be beaten,But the monsters in the back will become more and more difficult.,So that the points rules of the second stage,Not only according to the time to complete the race,It will also be determined in combination with the number and level of monsters killed.。 ”

Ma Zhen glanced at Cang Ling, who was looking at him, and took another sip of tea.

"And how are you going to intervene?" Cang Ling said seriously.

"The NPCs who joined to help, isn't it 28,760 people, there are many more members of our Earth Guardian Team than this, and when the time comes, each person will have a team member who is at least the first level of the peak, even if the passing time may be slow, but it is guaranteed not to be eliminated."

Ma Zhen seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure, and when Cang Ling asked a question, he replied without thinking.

"Then hurry up and arrange, the second stage of the schedule will start at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." Cang Ling reminded.

"What do you think I'm doing? It's your job! Ma Zhen glanced at Cang Ling, and at the same time put down the teacup in his hand, lay down on the rocking chair and shook it.

Cang Ling pouted and did not speak.

Dream world.

The island's beach has been transformed into a holiday paradise.

Lin Yu never expected that there would be reclining chairs, parasols and other strange things in the airdrop.

At this time, on the beach of Island 22, a large number of contestants put down their deck chairs and umbrellas on the beach, lay on the deck chairs, drank drinks, and took out a bunch of food from time to time to eat.

"Brother, thank you, if it weren't for you, I might have been eliminated a long time ago."

Xia Hui was on Lin Yu's left hand, she stayed in Lin Yu's storage space, Lin Yu almost forgot about her, and he quickly released Xia Hui when he knew the system prompt.

"Thank you, we also belong to each taking what we need, it's a transaction, there's nothing to thank."

Lin Yu was half-lying on the recliner, sipping a drink in his mouth, looking at the churning waves in the distance.

Xia Hui didn't continue to speak, lying on her side in silence and looking at Lin Yu's side face.

She knew that although Lin Yu said so, but after all, Lin Yu was active, she was passive, and Lin Yu gave her the opportunity to advance.

"Brother, what do you think our schedule for the second stage tomorrow will be? We can still work together! Zhao Jin was lying on Lin Yu's right hand, wearing a small round sunglasses, which was very in line with his temperament.

"Who knows! Things work themselves out! Don't be afraid! Anyway, it's a big deal! And they won't die. ”

Although Lin Yu said this, he still muttered in his heart.

He once saw a similar plot in a movie called Inception.

But it's true that humans can die in dreams.

If you are fatally injured in a dream, the brain will also be judged to be dead, which in the real world is manifested as brain death of the dreamer.

However, Lin Yu was in trust with the Earth Guardians, and he just thought that this idea was just a movie plot and couldn't be taken seriously.

After all, the Earth Guardians have no grudge against the 40,000 students, on the contrary, they are constantly sending money to the Earth Guardians, and the sale of the aura core alone has become the bulk of the Earth Guardians' source of income.

"I really hope to team up with you in the next competition! Otherwise, my IQ might make people miserable! ”

Zhao Jin grabbed a handful of dates and threw them into his mouth.

"When you encounter something, think calmly and it's over, don't be too reckless."

Lin Yu looked at the sea and said, this is also the principle of doing things that he has been pursuing, which can allow him to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles caused by impulsiveness.

In the blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock on Thursday morning.

"Ding-Hello all the participants of the ranking competition, first of all, congratulations on your successful promotion to the second stage of the ranking competition, the second stage is a single race, the final score will be determined based on the number of monsters you kill and the time to clear the customs, and the final score will be added to the points of the first stage to rank."

At 9:59, Lin Yu and Zhao Jin were still on the island.

However, as soon as 10 o'clock arrived, along with the prompt sound of the system, Lin Yu was also in front of him, and then, when his vision was clear again, he came to the road of an unknown city.

And the city in front of Lin Yu was like a ruin, like a doomsday world.

All kinds of vehicles on the road have been crooked across the middle of the road, and vehicles that are rear-ended or even collided head-on can be seen everywhere.

Smoke is also rising from tall buildings in the distance, and blazing flames can be seen in some places.

This scene, Lin Yu felt familiar, which reminded Lin Yu of the outbreak of the zombie virus, which was probably the scene in the city.

"Ding-Individual Sprint will officially start in 10 seconds."

“10、9、8、……、3、2、1！”

"Whew~~"

As soon as the countdown was over, Lin Yu heard the sound of a monster roaring in the distance.

However, just as Lin Yu was about to run, a burst of light flashed, and a figure stood in front of Lin Yu.

"Monster! Where to run! ”

Lin Yu shouted loudly, and at the same time picked up an iron rod directly from the ground, pinched an ant fruit in his left hand and sent it to his mouth, jumped up, and saw that he was about to hit the figure in front of him.

I saw that the figure flashed in an instant, and then a puff of smoke burst out from the place where he had just existed, and he had disappeared.

"I'll go! Where did it go! The iron rod in Lin Yu's hand swooped into the air.

"Ahh Lin Yu felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and instantly jumped up excitedly, waving the iron rod in his hand at the same time.

That figure had long expected Lin Yu to have this kind of reaction, and he had been prepared for it in an instant, and he also dodged Lin Yu's sudden attack in an instant.

"Stop, stop!" The figure flashed far away from Lin Yu and quickly stopped Lin Yu, "We are teammates!" I'm an NPC to help you clear the level! ”

Lin Yu looked at the figure from a distance, and couldn't see his face clearly, the person who claimed to be an NPC was still wearing a mask.

"Are NPCs so smart? Can you talk to me like that? Lin Yu clearly felt that the person who spoke, his tone was like a living person.

Lin Yu is very aware of the current development of artificial intelligence, after all, it is professional.

Today's artificial intelligence is actually artificial intelligence, and their dialogues are all set up by programmers, but with the blessing of big data, people feel a little bit of intelligence.

But the figure in front of Lin Yu, his conversation was so natural, but Lin Yu couldn't think of what was going on.

But now time is pressing, the system prompts a solo race, and now there is an NPC, it shouldn't be a real person, maybe in this world, there are really some technologies that ordinary people can't reach, or even unheard of.

"No matter, let's run first, after all, this is a race, if it's grinding, you don't have to think about this ranking."

Lin Yu thought in his heart, so he ignored the figure in the distance and ran forward on his own.

Lin Yu, who ate the ant fruit, was traveling much faster than usual, but the NPC in front of him kept hanging in front of Lin Yu, stopping and waiting for Lin Yu from time to time.

"Damn! It's just insulting to me! ”
