Chapter 58: 058 The audience is not the first person
The Dragon Kingdom audience was extremely worried:
[Although the other two planes have only 2 people in each plane, which is comparable to our number, but they are hostile to each other, that is to say, there may be a situation of 2 to 4? ]
[What does inhuman form mean? Just don’t be invisible. ]
[Crowmouth upstairs, who has allowed you to speak! ]
[Actually, don’t be so anxious, the universal translator still works, at least it can communicate. ]
[The races of the planes are different, do you still care if the sheep hurts when you see the wolf eating the sheep? ]
[That fanatical Colosseum doesn’t feel right, have you heard the word fear of beasts? I remember that there are terrifying beasts in the trial grounds that other countries have experienced. They are similar to giant dinosaurs, and they are especially ferocious. ]
[The conditions are very strict. There are only 2 players on each plane. Even if you live for 28 hours, if one dies and there are 2 players on the other plane, it will still be obliterated. ]
[So, kill the opponent’s players as soon as they come up, and just feel at ease. ]
[The question is how do you judge that the opponent is a player from another plane? Killing NPCs indiscriminately accumulates bad luck. If the next dungeon enters Nightmare difficulty, wouldn’t it be more difficult. ]
[Let’s live through this level first. If you can’t live in this level, are you worried that it will be useful later? ]
[Official suggestion: No other country has experienced similar dungeons. This level is the most important thing to survive. If you encounter a non-human opponent, kill it if you can. ]
Zhuang Zimo informed An Yizhen of the news. They still don’t know what the rules of the Colosseum are, and try to share as much information as possible before the two are separated.
The red-haired man was about to fantasize about the Colosseum for An Yizhen, when suddenly a middle-aged man in soft armor stood up from the ground. At the top of the carriage, his muscles lit up and he said to the red-haired man, “I’m also a power-type ability, why didn’t you find me? That little white face can’t do it.”
Zhuang Zimo’s agility is not too low. In the blink of an eye, he slashed the muscular man’s arm behind him, kicked his leg and pressed him to the ground. This series of operations showed not only his strength but also his grasping skills, he sneered: “He is big. Not flexible enough, and strength doesn’t depend on body shape, right?”
The muscular man’s expression twitched in pain, and he stopped talking for a while.
The red-haired man’s eyes glowed, but he didn’t expect that he was only greedy for the beauty of that beautiful woman, and it really allowed him to meet two good-looking teammates. He said with great interest: “Since the two have such skills, it may be a fate to come to the fanatical Colosseum, and they can shine. How should I put it, this place is different from the ordinary Colosseum. The arena also has a weightless space mode. By the way, do you have any experience training in weightless space?”
“Yes.” An Yizhen replied calmly, and admired Zhuang Zimo’s foresight.
“Fantastic.” The redhead gushed about the Colosseum fanatic.
It turns out that Lyle Star is an artificial planet with more than ten conventional planets around it, which can be regarded as a literary star field near the core star field. The pillar industry of Lyle Star is tourism. In addition to the interstellar port, there are large and small amusement parks and hotels. No matter what kind of race you are, you can always find a street to eat, drink, and play that suits you.
The Colosseum of Fever is built in mid-air, and the main beast fighting area is a hollow transparent sphere. The space is extremely huge, enough for any intelligent life form in the universe to enter. In addition to the land mode, weightlessness or ocean mode can also be turned on. .
Audiences set up seats around the sphere, and there is also a suspended space for VIPs, which can move autonomously and fully appreciate the situation in the Colosseum. In addition, the Colosseum is connected to the interstellar live broadcast. As long as the conditions permit, the planet can pay to receive the live broadcast signal and bet online.
That’s right, an event like Interstellar is a bloody, exciting form of entertainment that encourages spectators to place bets.
Those who participate in the beast fight are generally second-class and below citizens of the interstellar civilization. In order to ensure that the Colosseum would always have contestants, these lower-ranking citizens were forced to participate in the draw. The winners are randomly assigned to various similar Colosseum.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that humans joined the Interstellar Alliance relatively late, although the pace of interstellar immigration has been started, the level of technology is relatively backward, the overall contribution to the universe civilization is low, the location is remote, and the resources are also very scarce. Second-class citizens. If you don’t want to be enemies with other civilizations, you have to participate in various compulsory draws.
Mining labor and farming labor are very common lottery draws that will not die temporarily. The lottery in the Colosseum is often a nightmare for human beings. From the age of 18 to their lifetime, each person participates in a lottery every year. There are lucky people who have never been drawn in their entire lives, and others who have been drawn for two consecutive years. How much money was made from the overwhelming publicity of the Colosseum legend. In fact, very few people have survived the Colosseum three times and truly become a first-class citizen.
The rules of the game are different for each type of Colosseum.
Lyle Star’s Colosseum is the largest, with a variety of rules and tricks. Every year, there are some adjustments to satisfy everyone’s curiosity and deceive everyone’s enthusiasm for betting.
The red-haired man said seriously: “I bought the news of the prophecy power user at a high price, and the fanatical Colosseum will adopt the form of multi-player beast fighting. After all, a single human being, even if the power user has a survival rate against such terrifying monsters. Still too low, no gimmicks. Too many people, monsters will die too ugly, a team of 3 to 4 people is more suitable. The prophet also said, I will meet a very special long-haired beauty, which must be you. Beauty, what’s your name?”
“An Yizhen.” An Yizhen gave the sauced beef to the red-haired man, and continued to ask without being too cold, “Did the prophet say if you can survive this term?”
“My name is Linwu, remember my name. The prophet said that I have a high probability of surviving, so you can follow me and get lucky.” The red-haired man was full of confidence.
Several people in the car who were originally downcast all cast their eyes on him eagerly, and they all revealed their own specialties. The red-haired man said critically: “I will definitely not bring those who have no abilities. There is still a place, who would you like to come?”
At this moment, a man with white hair and black eyes stood up, walked to the red-haired man, and said only three words: “Take me.”
Lin Wu’s eyes were dull for a few seconds, and he nodded mechanically: “Okay, it’s up to you.”
Zhuang Zimo and An Yizhen looked at each other, knowing that this man with white hair and black eyes probably had some kind of spiritual power, so they both secretly increased their caution.
The man with white hair and black eyes took the initiative to give Zhuang Zimo and An Yizhen a friendly smile, and said, “Don’t be afraid, both of you, I will rely on you for protection at that time.”
The Devouring System said to An Yizhen: This guy’s energy level is half a level higher than yours, and he has no good intentions towards you. Find a chance to touch it.
An Yizhen didn’t pay attention to the system, she just felt a trance in her mind for a moment, and a strange idea came up to protect this person. She also smiled and said, “What’s your name sir?”
The man with white hair and black eyes replied gently, “My name is Chenxi.”
The man’s eyes glanced at the people around him, and the people he saw didn’t dare to say anything, as if he had completely forgotten the red-haired man’s boasting.
His gaze finally settled on Zhuang Zimo, and he asked in a deep voice, “What’s your name? Your strength is not only what you just showed, right?”
Zhuang Zimo keenly noticed that the man with white hair and black eyes was spying on his memory, he silently practiced the exercises, meditated on the void in his mind, and replied with a hint of warning: “My name is Zhuang Zimo, don’t try to challenge me. patience.”
The white-haired man’s lips curved in an arc, and said politely, “I’m sorry, I’m just curious.”
“Your mental power is very strong, but your body is too fragile.” Zhuang Zimo said lightly, “The consumption of supernatural powers will cost you too much life.”
The white-haired man took out a bottle of nutrient solution and drank it without saying anything.
An Yizhen took Zhuang Zimo to the corner, and said with a typed communication tool: I feel that this spiritual person is more dangerous.
Zhuang Zimo nodded, “But they don’t seem to have eaten anything seriously. I’ve never even seen such an ordinary sauce beef.
An Yizhen typed again: I feel that he can interfere with my thinking, you have to be careful.
Zhuang Zimo continued to nod his head and typed to answer: Protect yourself, I can still be resurrected.
The carriage finally stopped, and after the hatch at the rear opened, a metallic connection space was revealed. Several standing crocodiles with guns shouted to the crowd: “We’ve reached the place, come down.”
Everyone filed out and entered this cold, metallic space. The crocodile soldiers formed a red glowing separation net between them.
“It’s a laser isolation net. Stay away from everyone. It’s easy to burn your hair when you stand close.” The red-haired man said to everyone.
Fortunately, this large space is much wider than the previous carriage. Maybe it’s to adapt to the tall body of other intelligent creatures, anyway, humans gather in twos and threes, looking up and looking around, always feel that they have become dwarfs.
At this point an electronic synth voice announces the rules of the game at the Colosseum of Fever.
“Everyone, the first game of the Colosseum of Fever is about to begin. The 12 of you will be divided into 3 groups of 4 people. Each group will face 2 opponents. The opponents are also second-class citizens, in form or with you. There are differences. You are responsible for the death and injury on the field, please be fully psychologically prepared.
Rule 1: If you kill your opponent, your side wins; otherwise, your side loses.
Rule 2: There is a 20-minute interval between each game. After the start of the competition, each group will have 1 hour of duel time and an 8-hour rest period. If there is no winner or loser within the time limit, the audience will vote to determine the winner; the loser will be executed on the spot. If the game ends early, the remaining game time can be used as the winner’s rest time.
Rule 3: Only any cold weapons are allowed in the field. Once the use of hot weapons, such as laser swords, wooden warehouse weapons, etc. is found, it will be directly judged to lose.
Rule 4: If you win 4 games in a row, you can get a bonus of 1% of the total bet amount and the right to leave freely.
Any laws other than the above four rules are void in the Colosseum of Fever. ”
Long Guo audiences, who have always lived in the real-name system of banning gambling, banning wooden warehouses, and buying kitchen knives, saw such **** and brutal Colosseum rules for the first time, and they all sweated for their players:
[If I understand correctly, this rule is to use death theory to win or lose? ]
[This is quite barbaric, and the second-class citizen of Interstellar is too miserable. ]
[There are also LL stars here. Could it be that we will be reduced to this after a thousand years? ]
[The red-haired guy is quite picky about his teammates. ]
[There is a problem with the gray hair mental system. ]
[That’s right, the way that person is smiling and not smiling makes me uncomfortable. ]
[Remind the players on the field to stay away from the spiritual system! Shall we kill him first? ]
[Killing NPCs indiscriminately will accumulate bad luck. ]
[Killing one or two should be no problem. ]
When Zhuang Zimo saw this barrage, his mind moved. He is the best at killing.
The red-haired man Lin Wu said in shock: “Do you have to win four games in a row to leave? It’s crazy, other Colosseum wins three games in a row before you can choose the bonus or leave.”
A white-haired uncle smiled bitterly: “The rule here is to win four games in a row and leave with the bonus, isn’t it fair?”
The man with the robotic arm said pessimistically: “I’m afraid I won’t live by that time.”
Chenxi reassured: “Don’t be afraid, everyone, a group of four, the other side only has two players, there is always a chance to survive.”
Under Chenxi’s calm voice, everyone’s emotions miraculously eased a lot.
Linwu had already found teammates before, and the other 8 people seemed to have some tacit understanding. They soon “voluntarily” divided into two groups, and the three groups stood in the three squares in the field. Each square has a number on the ground, 1, 2, and 3.
The electronic synthesis voice said that after each group of people has selected the grid, they can raise their hands to summon the AI waiter to help store items that do not meet the rules of the venue.
An Yizhen and the others were standing in the No. 2 grid. The other two groups had actions to store items. An Yizhen and Zhuang Zimo secretly transferred the hot weapon from the bag to the parcel bar.
After the items were stored, three groups of real-time portraits were displayed on the big screen in the venue, and each group of people had a corresponding voting column below. The first candidates are currently being cast by the audience.
The selected players can also see the situation on the field through the internal screen. Through Zhuang Zimo’s perspective, the Dragon Country audience finally saw the true face of the fanatical arena. In addition to lamenting the huge suspended spherical arena, everyone also saw the appearance of the first-class citizens of the interstellar civilization:
[Did you see those people in the audience? ]
[Your eyes are not good upstairs, those don’t look like people. ]
[In fact, there are a few more similar ones, such as standing crocodile soldiers. ]
[How high do you have to adjust the blurriness of the picture to say that the crocodile soldier looks like a human? ]
[Why doesn’t it look like it, isn’t it just multiple tails, limbs and a head, so much like it. ]
[To be fair, really, the crocodile soldiers are more human-like than the spectators out there. There are not many people with a head and limbs outside. There are also mixed flora and fauna, it is hard to imagine that they are senior citizens, make me cry for a while. ]
[To give you a boost, as long as it’s a living creature, it can’t escape An Yizhen’s hands, right? ]
[Goddess An, I support you! No matter what it is on the opposite side, come up and kill it directly. ]
[Inhuman opponents, the psychological pressure to kill is a little less. ]
[Perhaps the opponents look more human than the audience? ]
In the end, group 1 got more votes. Their group has a man with a robotic arm, and the big man with the power-type ability. The other two seem to be ordinary, but they are holding strangely shaped cold weapons in their hands.
In the eyes of the audience, this group of people was obviously more like coming to the game than the other two groups. The four of the No. 2 group all looked weak. Even in the human race known for being weak, these four were classified as the type with poor physical fitness, and they were not enough to be feared by beasts. Team No. 3 has one for each of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and they can’t even hold the robotic arm.
Then the red light came on, and three other groups of animal statues appeared on the big screen.
There are two people in each group. The first group is as huge as a terrifying beast. It has wings and can fly. It has thick skin and thick flesh. The second group looked like two walking trees, with no facial features at all, and a dazzling halo appeared all over their bodies when they were excited. The third group is guys with exposed black armor and similar alien monsters. These three groups of people are all wearing translators. Although they appear in various parts of the body, they should probably be able to understand the shouting of the opposing players.
The players participating in the competition do not know in advance who the opponent will be.
Everything is up to the live audience to vote. The privileges of live audiences are much higher than those of those who watch live broadcasts online. After all, the real body came to Lierxing, and the GDP created by the one-stop service of local related industries is definitely higher than that of virtual ones.
Soon, the opponents of group 1 were selected, the group of aliens and monsters. In the first game, the audience will of course have to watch the exciting sparring.
The next 10 minutes are betting time. On-site audiences and online audiences bet through the platform, choose the odds, and the total amount is not limited, all of which are automatically settled by Interstellar Coin.
Linwu greeted An Yizhen and the others and said, “Come here, you can bet if you have money.”
Zhuang Zimo and An Yizhen were completely unable to conceive of the currency of this era and could only shake their heads.
Chenxi excitedly followed Linwu to the betting table.
Linwu bought 10,000 yuan, 10 times the odds, and the group who bet on the alien monsters won.
Chenxi asked curiously, “Why bet on the other side to win?”
Lin Wusha said solemnly: “Have you not watched a live broadcast two years ago? That alien race is very powerful, with hard armor, not to mention cold weapons, hot weapons are difficult to penetrate, how to kill? I I have survived two Colosseum because I have never met such an opponent. So I have always been lucky.”
Chenxi smiled and turned to ask An Yizhen: “An Yizhen, if you give me a piece of the delicious sauce beef just now, how about I bet 10,000 yuan for you? LL star buys ten square kilometers of land, right?”
An Yi was really shocked by the price. Forget it. Anyway, the sauced beef was conceived in the main **** space. There are 99 in the package column. Give him one piece and exchange for some interstellar currency. Maybe the resources that this currency can buy will be able to get back to the main **** space in the future to exchange for the news of the next instance.
An Yizhen carefully took out another piece of sauced beef, handed it to Chenxi with a reluctant expression on his face, and said, “This is very precious food, I only brought three pieces. This piece is for you, and the last piece is my own. keep the food.”
Chenxi stared at An Yizhen for three seconds, and was surprised to find that this person’s thoughts could not be seen through. Unlike Zhuang Zimo’s blankness, her thoughts were like a thin cloud of smoke, which dispersed with a little touch. Can’t see what it is.
What secret weapons do these two people from LL star have? Besides their powerful abilities, I am afraid they also have rare equipment on them. The game limits heat. Weapons, but not high-tech defenses. It’s really interesting that they are so cautious with multiple precautions, but they pretend to be innocent on the surface.
Every human being has an identity bracelet on the left wrist. This is a human-exclusive identity authentication device. After brushing the bracelet, people can use the Interstellar Universal Coin. When the bracelets touch each other, they can also trade virtual currency or materials with each other.
An Yizhen exchanged sauced beef for 10,000 yuan, and followed other people’s process to bet. She also chose Alien Monster to win, and the odds were 10 times. It seemed that she had no idea and just followed Linwu’s choice.
Chenxi himself placed 30,000, 5 times the odds, and bet on the alien monster to win, which shows that his character is more cautious.
The game officially started 10 minutes later. A beam of light rose from the square of Group 1, and the three people disappeared instantly.
Players who do not need to play can see the live game on the field through the big screen.
This competition also opened a special trick, that is, the audience chooses the environment mode in the arena. There are three red, yellow and blue buttons on the seats of the audience, corresponding to the conventional land mode, weightless mode and ocean mode respectively. 1 hour of game time, switch the field environment mode every 10 minutes. The minority obeys the majority, switching to the mode with the most votes.
The initial mode is land mode.
There is no suspense. Before 10 minutes to switch to the second arena mode, the four human players on the field were already broken. The only things left on the ground that were not corrupted were the cold weapons that pulled the wind and the robotic arm.
Mechanical power or seemingly powerful power-type power users are not even enough appetizers in the eyes of alien monsters.
Alien Monsters get 8 hours and 50 minutes of rest.
There is a 20-minute interval before the next game, which is a short break for the spectators. They can leave the seat to eat and drink, and they can also watch the performances during the interval.
A door opened in the metal room, and the crocodile soldier signaled that the human players who had not yet played could go to the rest room behind the door to relax for a while.
Through that gate, it is still heavily guarded and high-tech defense.
The rest room is still not small. There is a table in the middle, which is filled with nutrient solutions of various flavors, marked as free access. There are some massage seats around the room, and there is also a hot spring pool. However, there is clearly no distinction between males and females. The entire large space can be seen by the guarded crocodile soldiers at a glance, and there are countless camera devices patrolling back and forth.
How can you rest well here? There are no serious beds, and the toilets are all transparent enclosures.
But the rest didn’t seem so uncomfortable. One of the tall young men took off his clothes and went directly into the bubble pool. It wasn’t until the clothes were gone that An Yizhen realized that this tall bald young man was actually a woman.
Linwu said to the two old hats from LL star: “That girl looks like T star, there is a geological problem on their planet, men are fragile and have a short lifespan, and women are tall and strong. Chenxi, where are you from? White-haired people are rare.”
Chenxi said: “I am a wandering painter, I have lived on any planet for a while.”
“What do you paint? Are your works on sale?” Lin Wu’s dress is the most fashionable of all. From the perspective of 800 years ago, it is still in line with normal aesthetics.
Chenxi said: “I paint landscapes, but I’m not well-known in the industry, and I don’t have any works. However, I have a fate. I lived in LL star for more than ten years when I was a child. There are few people, the scenery is very beautiful, and the animals and plants are very different from other planets. rare.”
“In a wild place like LL star, there is not even a decent spaceport. It is said that a terrible disaster happened there, and civilization was almost destroyed. Most of the human beings have moved away, and now it has become a paradise again?” Linwu said After finishing, he set his eyes on An Yizhen and said, “Is your sauce beef made from LL star’s animal meat? It’s not a synthetic product, so it’s so delicious?”
An Yizhen nodded.
Linwu sighed: “Although we live in a high-tech planet, there is almost no pure ecological food. The most common thing is to drink these nutrient solutions, which have many flavors, but they are not as delicious as real meat and real vegetables. I will go when I earn enough money. LL star travels sightseeing and tastes delicious food.”
Chenxi reminded with ulterior motives: “The cattle of LL star are considered to be their homologous ancestors by the tauren, and hunting by humans is prohibited. There are also many first-class citizen races that have also issued many bans. In short, many species of flowers, birds, fish and insects on LL star. It is strictly protected. If you really want to eat delicious food, everyone should keep a low profile.”
An Yi sincerely said, no wonder the first-class citizens in the audience looked so familiar. It turns out that their ancestors were just those animals and plants on the LL star?
What kind of magical place is LL star? Could it be that so many powerful races in the interstellar civilization went from LL star to the universe in the early years? Humans only appeared after those intelligent races, backward races?
Chenxi added: “Linwu has a good luck, the aliens who were so terrifying before had a bye, and the remaining two, whoever we meet should have a chance to win.”
