Chapter 278: Number of Participants

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

There are about two hours left until the opening ceremony of the Awoken contest.

Amid the roar of the engines, a large private supersonic plane in pure white landed safely on the runway under the guidance of the command platform.

As the electric staircase carried by the plane slowly extended down, a large number of people immediately trotted all the way to both sides of the staircase with a smile on their faces and saluted the cabin door.

Wait for the cabin door to open.

Xi Shenlian had just shown her face, and before she could take a step forward, the middle-aged woman who was the leader of the reception staff immediately nodded hurriedly and said:

"Your Excellency Nishigami!!"

"Welcome to Haxa Island!!"

"I'm an assistant to the archon of the island......"

Although she speaks in the local language, she is surrounded by a translator who is fluent in multiple Chinese languages and is constantly translating at a slower pace.

So even if the person who comes is a guy who doesn't understand the local dialect at all, it's not in the way.

on this.

Nishigin didn't seem to care.

Next to him, Chiyama Yukie was chatting softly with Yakisaki about something completely unrelated.

"Saki, I didn't expect you to fly a plane!"

The words are full of the deep envy of the vehicle killer for the polygon driver.

Even Qianshan Xuehua's good girlfriend Gu Yunmei Yezi was next to her and sighed again and again:

"That's really amazing!"

"There are so many things at a young age!"

The praise and envy of the two made Ye Qisaki only wave his hand modestly:

"Where, where...... Miss Qianshan and Miss Guyun, these are just some skills that I learned by the way, and they have even become a little rusty because they have not been used for too long......"

At this moment, the situation can be described as you say yours and I do mine.

Someone is on the lookout.

Someone is indifferent.

Someone took the opportunity to make small talk.

……

——

Haxa Island.

The location is located in the Pacific Ocean.

The total area is about one-third of the size of the last life of the West God.

The total population of the country is about 18 million.

Due to the abundance of seafood and certain minerals, as well as the natural environment, tourism has always been very developed.

It is one of the more famous tourist destinations in the world.

This time, the Awakened Contest is due to the fact that only the [Awakening Stage] and the [Mature Stage] will have a fight.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the [Global Council] did not place the arena in a safer and more stable [underground world], but placed it in a place that is more suitable for the public to observe remotely.

After all, compared to the [Self Stage], [Completion Stage], and [Sublimation Stage], the destructive power of the [Awakening Stage] and [Maturity Stage] is actually not too strong, and the surface environment can fully afford it.

Of course...... Even so, it was not possible to place the stadium directly in the urban area of the island.

I really want to do that.

Ordinary people within a radius of more than ten kilometers will probably suffer heavy casualties.

It won't be much better than taking a couple of nuclear bombs.

When these receptionists who came to pick up the airport drove a special car to carry Nishijin Ren and others to the competition venue.

On the way, they were the leader.

It can be described as the ultimate flattery.

Directly with the attitude of licking the dog, he told the West God about all kinds of related matters that he had to know.

Yes.

As the referee of the match, Nishijin only began to understand certain aspects of the arena at this time.

However, he didn't really know much about it.

He's just a referee.

All you need to know is the rules of the arena.

For example, what are the prohibited matters in the arena, how to determine the victory or defeat of both sides, and how to judge whether each participant violates the rules......

It's all very basic.

It's almost enough to listen to it on the spot.

"Lord Xishen, there are a total of two hundred and twenty-six applicants for this Awakened Contest from all over the world, of which one hundred and fifty-four are [Awakened in the Initial Awakening Stage] and seventy-two are [Awakened in the Mature Stage], and their gender ratio is about eight to two ...... male to female."

I have to say.

Two hundred and twenty-six.

That's a very rare number.

You must know that there are 522 countries in the world with independent sovereignty.

But at present, most member states can't even make up a single participant, so they choose to abandon the competition......

But.

In this regard.

It's not necessarily that there are no awakened people in those countries.

Most likely, there are only three or five of them in total.

And those who are extremely rare in number are often in high positions of power in their own countries.

Facing a large-scale event in which the awakened beat each other.

As long as it's not something that everyone has to be involved in.

Then, on the premise of knowing that they have no chance of winning, most of them naturally don't bother to come over and be beaten.

This directly leads to a lower number of applicants.

"As for the referees, plus your words, there are ten in total."

"Seven of them will be in charge of the [Awakening Zone] and three will be in charge of the [Mature Zone], and each judge can arrange the specific situation, and it is expected that all the matches will be completed within five days to determine the final winner of the two regions......"

"As for the preliminary round of the game, the repechage match......

——

That's it, in the explanation of the other party.

The group took a special car to the front of a huge building.

It was a very large open-air venue located near the sea.

Look around.

It's as big as a small city.

At each entrance and exit, the queue that is entering and exiting stretches for 100 meters.

Sitting in the car and pointing to the hot open-air venue, the reception staff said excitedly:

"The venue was built by the [Global Parliament] to receive spectators from all over the world, and it could easily accommodate 200,000 people......

"And as a reward for the venue provider, that venue will be given to our country by the [Global Parliament] after the competition, and it will not only bring us a huge amount of tourism traffic but also ......."

Wait for the other party to finish.

After nodding his head as if he didn't understand.

Gu Yunmei Yazi said with a little puzzlement:

"After tonight's opening ceremony, will the contestants fight in there tomorrow?"

"Isn't that dangerous for the audience?"

You ask her if the building is big?

She will definitely answer big without thinking!

But if you ask her if she wants to go there and watch a group of Awakened people fight live?

She would have said no on the spot.

She felt that it might not be enough for three or five ordinary awakened people to dismantle it......

She had a little bit of knowledge of the destructive power of the Awakened, and she didn't think it would be a good thing to watch those guys fight up close.

The proximity here.

Probably refers to tens of kilometers.

She felt that she would have to be at least thirty or fifty kilometers away from the awakened in the various competitions to be safe.

The actual situation can be referred to and watched the nuclear explosion test, and it is right to run far away......
