"The number of people online has exceeded 30 million?"

Inside the virtual hall dedicated to the wilderness.

Lao Song looked at the statistics and was overjoyed.

It's only been more than half an hour, and it has directly broken the record of the highest simultaneous online in the game.

You must know that this is a real number of people online, not the kind of virtual viewing heat.

If this news spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar.

"Yes, in addition to the 30 million in China, the number of online users in various overseas regions has also been counted, a total of 50 million!"

The employee's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

80 million people around the world are online at the same time!

Such a grand occasion.

I'm afraid I will only see it at the World Cup.

In particular, the performance of overseas markets was beyond his expectations.

It really achieved their goal of breaking through the cultural barrier with a game, and was surrounded by so many overseas players.

"Very good, keep it up and see if we can break through the 100 million mark!"

Old Song took a deep breath, and his voice trembled a little.

100 million online in the world, if it can be reached, this will become an insurmountable barrier for all virtual platforms in a lifetime!

……

Meanwhile.

Inside the virtual venue.

The qualifiers for Pokémon continue.

Each contestant shows off their powers, summons their proud Pokémon, and fights fiercely in the arena.

The shouts in the audience were unprecedentedly grand, causing the air above the entire arena to vibrate violently.

"Appeared!! Kairos's Cast on Earth! ”

"Can you handle it? Can Rumble Rock parry!? ”

The host's hurried shouts echoed in the stadium, broadcasting the battle in Group A.

I saw it in the field.

Kairos of the Zerg directly threw himself from the earth of the fighting system, and hugged the rocky rumbling rock that rushed over from the opposite side.

Then he leapt into the air, burst out of the clouds, and went straight to the sky.

The exaggerated combat special effects made the audience fascinated, and they all raised their necks to look into the sky.

Forthwith.

I saw the two Pokémon spinning at high speed fall down, like a comet through the sun, and smashed into the field.

"Boom—"

The earth shook, setting off a terrifying cloud of sand.

Under the suppression of attribute restraint, the remaining blood volume of Rumble Rock was completely emptied and was withdrawn into the treasure ball.

Kairos raised his arms high and let out a roar like a fighting champion, which instantly triggered a large cheer from the audience, and he only felt his blood boiling.

"Win! Kairos wins! ”

"One move on the earth has put an end to the iron wall that Rumble Rock is proud of! He is the king of martial arts! ”

"Let's congratulate the No. 36 player in Group A on the victory, and thank you to the two players for the wonderful battle for us! Please ...... next."

The two hosts were passionate, as if tireless, constantly mobilizing emotions inside and outside the venue.

Players who had only planned to come to watch for a while and then go back to play the game gradually immersed themselves in this bursting atmosphere and frantically cheered for the players.

"Cool! There can be such a lively event on the big night. ”

"It's been a long time since I've been to a big event like this."

"That's the beauty of esports!"

"It's really different when you watch it live!"

The audience blushed and spoke of their excitement.

Many of them didn't just come to watch the game, but to join in the fun.

Because the longer you play, the more you understand a truth.

Friends are always the highest feature of the game.

Sometimes what they lack is not games, but friends who can play games together and share happiness together.

Although none of the players sitting here know each other, they even come from all over the world.

But at the moment their goal is the same, which is to watch the game.

With the bond of the competition and the spirit of this common hobby, they finally no longer feel lonely, no longer alone, and have a platform for catharsis together.

It is precisely this need that the Flood Virtual Contest has met this need, and it has received the support of so many players.

I'm afraid after tonight.

They will all remember tonight's indulgence fondly.

This will be a very memorable memory of their players' journey.

"Huh? What's going on over there in Group C? ”

Suddenly, there was a cry of doubt from the crowd.

Everyone who was cheering excitedly also noticed the situation on the other side of the Group C arena and looked over one after another.

No way.

Because it's so weird over there.

The other venues are all open and closed, and all kinds of skill effects are flying all over the sky, and I can't wait to demolish the venue.

But on the other side of Group C, there was silence at this time.

The two contestants stood there, summoning Pokémon and doing nothing, as if they were stunned.

Then.

The host also noticed the situation over there and switched the big screen over.

"Oh? Is something wrong? ”

"There seems to be something wrong with the two players in Group C, let's go over and see together!"

After that, the camera zoomed in and came to the group C field.

When they saw the picture clearly, everyone's expressions froze.

"Iron Ant, launch a partner on the Gotha Duck!"

Hearing only one of the male players shout, the insect Pokémon Iron Ant standing in front of him directly launched the Companion Finding Skill against the Gotha Duck opposite.

The effect of this skill is peculiar, and it can change the characteristics of the opponent to be the same as your own.

And the characteristic of his iron ant is laziness, every time he uses a skill, he will rest for a round in the next round, which is a rare negative trait.

But now he has assimilated into the Gotha duck opposite.

Boy.

It belongs to everyone who is rotten together.

The audience burst out laughing, and the host woke up from his stunned surprise and forced his laughter.

"Ahem...... The No. 40 player in Group C has a very clear idea. ”

"Through the hidden characteristics of iron ants, laziness, and the skill of finding partners, both sides are in a situation where they cannot attack."

"As we all know, Pokémon with hidden characteristics can only be caught in some specific gameplay, and it seems that player No. 40 is prepared!"

"Faced with this situation, what should the No. 39 do? Let's wait and see! ”

The host is worthy of professionalism.

A commentary explained the reason to those who didn't understand the game, and at the same time resolved the embarrassment, so that the No. 39 female player on the opposite side finally came back to her senses.

After a failed attempt at attacking, she decisively took out another Poké Ball from her bag.

"I'll admit that your ploy was successful, but don't forget, I can also get other pets!"

The female contestant's voice was very good, with a sense of courage, and immediately won the applause of the audience.

For a while, all kinds of fanning the flames, killing him, giving him some color, and the words of cheering for the old sister kept coming out, making the Group C arena instantly become the focus of the field.

"Oh? Is it? ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, the No. 40 male player suddenly laughed proudly.

Because the other party had just launched an attack, the first strike was on his side.

Without the slightest pause, he pulled out another Poké Ball directly from his bag.

"Go, Three Gophers!"

Swish!

The light lit up.

The iron ants on the field were replaced with ground-based tri-gophers.

The originally flat field began to sand sharply, leaving the Gotha duck on the opposite side deep in it.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then heard the host's surprised voice.

"Can't be wrong! It's the sand hole characteristic of the three gophers! Make it impossible for opponents in battle to escape! ”

"In other words, you can't change your pet!"

"It's either you die or I die, so this is the layout of player No. 40? Sure enough, it's a very subtle battle strategy! ”

The more he talked about the back, the more high-pitched the host's voice became.

After listening to this, the audience's expressions became even more bizarre.

Assimilating the opponent with the lazy trait first, and then changing to the sand hole trait to prevent the opponent from escaping, is this to carry out the rotten position to the end?

What a disgusting routine!

Not to mention the audience.

The girl number 39 on the opposite side was disgusted.

The face was blue and purple for a while.

"Humph! What if you can't change it? The Gotha duck of the water system is restrained by the ground system, and I will see how you hide when I can move! ”

"Hey, that's not necessarily."

Player No. 40 smiled and snapped his fingers out of thin air: "Three gophers, use and hold!" ”

Buzz –

The three gophers shook their bodies, and an earthy yellow shield came out, covering its three heads that emerged from the soil.

Everyone who saw this picture almost squirted out a mouthful of water.

Because the Hold skill is an absolute defensive skill that can resist an attack in one turn, but it cannot be used consecutively.

But the problem is.

Now the Gotha Duck of Girl No. 39 can only move once in two rounds, which just gives the three gophers an interval between rounds, which can be used infinitely to hold!

Other words.

Never die!

Grass!

How can there be such a disgusting routine!

The audience was dying of laughter.

Sure enough, sand sculpture netizens have a lot of fun, and they can come up with any sassy routine.

As for the other contestants, they have studied how to crack this routine, or pray that they don't run into this kind of guy.

Only girl No. 39 had a blue face.

"Even so, I still have two Pokémon, and I won't give you another chance to start this routine!"

The race value of the three gophers is not very high.

Especially HP, which is only a pitiful 35, is a very crispy existence even if it grows to level 50.

As long as it's not attribute restraint, a big skill can be lost in seconds.

So she didn't panic at all, at most she just lost the first Gotha duck, and some had a chance to turn the tables.

However.

As soon as the idea came to mind, the No. 40 player on the opposite side laughed.

It's still that familiar smile, it's still that familiar snapping of fingers.

"Three gophers, use the sword dance!"

Depend on!

Sword Dance!

A skill that greatly increases your own ATK!

Now the audience couldn't hold back.

Other trainers exercise Pokémon, but you're here to train trainers' hearts, right?

Sure enough.

Procrastination through the nature of laziness.

This guy has been jumping back and forth between defensive skills and enhanced skills, buffing the attributes of the three gophers to a very exaggerated level.

The girl on the other side could only watch dryly.

watched the three gophers continue to grow bigger and thicker, from three cuties to three strong men.

Then one blow seconds off her Gotha duck.

Together with the two Pokémon that came on the field later, they were also killed in one hit, without any resistance.

There was a moment of silence.

Finally, the host's high-pitched voice came.

"Win! Group C No. 40 wins! ”

"He used a very unexpected routine to win this match with a crushing attitude!"

"Let's congratulate the No. 40 player in Group C! It's also a pity that the No. 39 player was defeated, and I hope she can do well in the repechage! ”

According to the format.

The unqualified players will also play a repechage match, and the top four will advance to the round of 64.

This is also to prevent some unexpected circumstances that cause the top players to lose, and give them a chance.

Although there are only 4 places, it is also a hope of qualifying.

Still.

The audience doesn't care about that right now.

Because they're already laughing like crazy.

"It's so sassy that I can even come up with this kind of routine."

"It's just that the girl was a little unlucky to come across this beast."

"What a beast, he~tui!"

"There's no way, people also follow the rules, so I can only say it's too unlucky."

"Indeed, after that routine was discovered, I basically knew how to target it, and it was really unlucky to encounter it first."

"It's really fun, goose goose goose ......"
