Chapter Thirty-Eight: Preliminaries, Unreal World
The next day, the competition was about to begin, and everyone gathered in the conference hall early to listen to the instructions of the leader. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After arriving at the scene, Gu Ran and Xi Yue, the two embarrassed guys, nested in a small corner. Xi Yue leaned against the wall and whispered to Gu Ran, "You should remember what I told you last night, right?"
"Understood! The more beautiful the first few games, the bigger the handicap will be opened, and the small amount of money will be ......" Gu Ran couldn't hold back the obscene smile on his face when he was halfway through speaking.
"That's right!" Xi Yue said calmly: "When the time comes, you must create the momentum of a peerless powerhouse to clear the level, don't be kicked out." We'll see what the game is about later, and I'll find a way to keep you safe. β
"Yes yes yes ......"
At this moment, Yuanwang Liu Qing walked to the stage and said to the audience: "Participants, I will now announce the competition items and rules. The preliminary round of this rookie tournament is divided into three matches, and only those who pass the previous matches can advance to the next round. The first contest is about finding objects, and all participants will enter an illusory world, from which those who find a soul crystal will be considered to have cleared the level, and the time limit is ten days in the virtual world. Soul crystals are mostly found in the bodies of demons that have been defeated, so it is also important to recognize the existence of demons. There is no ban on teaming up in this game, but each Soul Crystal can only be cleared by one person. β
Isn't this just a hint that the people who form the team are likely to be betrayed by their teammates?! Although this game is not a cruel qualifier, the more people eliminated before the finals, the better it is for themselves, and the character of Xi Yue will definitely pretend to cooperate with others, and kick it away at the last moment! Well, definitely!
"I thought I could play something this year, but it turned out to be this old routine again...... "Xi Yue said calmly: "This level is very good, even if a rookie like you wants to pass the level, it's quite easy." β
As he spoke, he took out a ring from his pocket and took Gu Ran's hand......
"You, what are you doing!" Gu Ran decisively shook off his hand and looked at him nervously, for fear that this guy would plot against him and destroy his innocence.
"Fuck off, where are you going!" Xi Yue picked up his hand again, poked the ring into his finger fiercely, and said: "This ring can unfold an energy shield with a diameter of seventy centimeters, and every time it is hit, it will lose some of its energy, but you can charge it with spiritual energy, and this thing can be combined with your right hand to beat up demons to attack and defend, it is difficult to think about it." β
"So powerful?" Gu Ran looked at the ring in his hand curiously, it looked like it was silver, and there were many tiny runes engraved on it, it looked like a ...... Well, it's worth a lot of money.
At this time, the Absolute King also walked to the stage and said, "The illusory world that everyone has entered is my psionic 'data representation', and those who die in it will not really die, but will be considered disqualified from the competition. However, no one in the outside world knows what is going on in the Unreal World, and there is no way to intervene until the end of the match. β
As he spoke, he also took out a PSP handheld from his pocket and shook it.
This must be tempting us to kill each other! It must be so, and it is so blatant! Gu Ran has already deeply felt the malice from the organizers of the competition.
"Young man," Xi Yue said beside him, "You should have guessed what the little kid said, right? They are not testing your character, but telling the truth! Even if you don't want to hurt people, you'd better be careful not to be harmed." β
"I'm going! Where is the most basic trust between people and people in the organization?"
"The composition of our organization is not a good man and a woman, and besides, some people will ......" Xi Yue shook his head halfway through his words, "No, it's nothing...... All in all, be careful not to get brushed off in the first place. β
At this time, the Jedi King continued, "A day in the unreal world means an hour in the real world, so get ready, and we'll see you in ten hours." β
With that, he searched the handheld and pressed a few keys, and hundreds of blazing lights suddenly erupted on the screen of the handheld, flying above the heads of each contestant, turning into pillars of light and enveloping them......
......
......
Gu Ran was so stabbed by the sudden dazzling light that he couldn't open his eyes, and when he felt the light disappear through his eyelids, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the scene around him had changed. When he reacted, he was in the middle of the city.
This sudden change in the scene had already been taught by the illusion demon when he was in Koto University, so he didn't marvel at the old man like a turtle for a long time, but he ......
"Lao Tzu doesn't know English!!" Gu Ran looked at the crooked girl who was carrying a small parasol around her, and shouted loudly to the sky.
......
The place where Gu Ran was teleported was in the downtown area, he roughly observed the surrounding buildings and pedestrian attire, the gentlemen wore top hats and black windbreakers, the ladies wore floral dresses and carried small umbrellas, the surrounding buildings were typical European-style western-style buildings, and the shops in both rows had glass windows. This is clearly not the European Middle Ages, nor can it be the twentieth century. So he judged that this place should be in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries of the original plane.
And when he saw a carriage followed by a car, he was dumbfounded. What did the history teacher teach in high school? When was the world's first automobile, Mercedes-Benz, invented?
He now fully understands the horror of being uneducated, but based on his years of experience reading online articles, he guesses that it is at least the mid-eighteenth century onwards.
Then he walked a little more, and at the end of the street was a river with a splendid bridge across it, and from this point he could see a tall bell tower in the distance.
Even if Gu Ran was stupid, he could guess that this place was London in the 19th century.
Okay, now that he knows where he is, what do I do next? There's a problem that can never get around him -- he really doesn't know English!
Hell, I don't know why the organization chose this location for the preliminaries!
Gu Ran lay on the fence on the bank of the Thames, looking at the hands of Big Ben moving little by little, at a loss. The most important thing now is to find a job that does not starve to death, otherwise it will not take ten days, and in three days he should play GG. There were a few girls with umbrellas frolicking next to him, and if he wanted to ask for help, this was the best opportunity, so he had no choice but to step forward.
βhelloοΌI...... I'mfine, thank you......" Gu Ran said in broken English that he had learned from the old man at the school.
The girls looked at each other for a while, then looked at each other and smiled, and one of the girls said, "Chinese?"
"Huh?" Gu Ran could actually understand what she was saying this time!
...... Nonsense!
But he really listened to it, although the girl still spoke bird language, but in his mind, there was an inexplicable translation of her speech, realizing the barrier-free communication between English students and British friends.
After learning about this, Gu Ran was moved to tears, but there would be no such aggrieved death as he starved to death on the streets of London because he didn't study well before, and now he has a communication barrier......
