Chapter 100 - competition
Since the two discovered that the “weather” changes continued for half an hour, for the sake of saving energy, they no longer used energy to open the barrier.
Heavy rain, heavy snow and scalding water are carried through purely by physical fitness, while hail, knives, flints, and arrow rain are in turn responsible for manual emptying to ensure that the small area where the boat is located is not disturbed.
Finally arrived on the island, although the weather brought the test, but their image is inevitably a little embarrassed.
The two didn’t care about the image. Anyway, the energy crystals were saved. They also collected twelve new energy crystals from one side of the river, which not only made up for today’s consumption, but also earned tonight’s treasure ship guest room. They were satisfied.
When it was time to open the treasure chest again, Xia Ruize personally selected four numbers he liked, and opened ten high-level energy crystals, a treasure backpack, a high-level boat and ten intermediate energy crystals.
“As expected of the lucky Mr. Cheng and Mr. Xia, not only can they get the most treasure chest rewards every day, but they also always get the best, which is really enviable!
I am very much looking forward to the wonderful performance of the two of you tomorrow. If you win, there will be a grand prize! “
The host sighed with sincerity, and then hinted at it mysteriously.
When Huaiqian didn’t ask questions again, the host laughed and refused to reveal more inside information, but only reminded them to watch today’s program seriously.
Looking at each other, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian could see that they couldn’t ask anything, and they didn’t bother anymore, and set off on the return journey decisively.
The main task released by the Lord God is to participate in the five-day celebration of Zhuoyuan City Tourism Festival, and tomorrow will be the last day.
Now the host also hinted that tomorrow’s celebration will be different, and the two couldn’t help but guess, but the most important thing at the moment is to return to the starting line first.
Today’s waterway is unusually long, and they are very tired. I am afraid it will take more time to return, so I dare not delay.
Because the waterway is wider than any previous day, when approaching one side of the river bank, the other side cannot be seen at all. The two did not meet too many people on the way back, and it was already nine in the evening when they approached the starting line. Point, you can see the dazzling treasure ship parked in the middle of the water from a distance, in addition, the incomplete Zhuoyuan City is dark and silent.
As the first group of tourists to reach the destination, there was only the sound of the two of them moving in the entire area. The exhausted Cheng Huaiqian stepped on the flying skateboard and flew ashore crookedly. After retrieving the rewards they had obtained, he and Xia Ruize were crooked together again. fly to the treasure ship.
The two extremely tired people took a drowsy massage bath. They felt that their physical fatigue had dissipated a lot, and they had become more energetic. Although they had no appetite, they still struggled to get up and went to the restaurant.
There were a few returning tourists sporadically in the restaurant. Most of them came directly to the restaurant without cleaning. The always warm and friendly Tiger just raised his finger to the two of them weakly, and didn’t even have the strength to say hello. Some people even fell asleep on the dining table while eating.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were eighteen full after eating, and they didn’t care much after returning to their room. After a simple wash, they fell asleep and were woken up by the sound of the screen in the room the next morning.
The big screen in the guest room started to broadcast the variety show of the previous day’s celebration. It was almost six in the morning, and the show was only released now. It seemed that some tourists had just returned.
Remembering the mysterious reminder from the previous host, the two washed their faces with cold water and watched the show with full attention.
The main content of this program is that the sky is raining in a fancy way, and the tourists below are dying in a fancy way. Even if they were lucky enough to complete the whole process, they would be more embarrassed than each other.
Although the number of eliminated tourists is not as much as before because of inability to climb the slope, but in the case of a small base of surviving tourists, minus the eliminated tourists, there are only 84 surviving tourists, of which more than 84 Half of it came back after midnight.
Just when the 84 surviving tourists who watched this episode looked ugly, depressed, and worried that they could not hold on, the end of this episode showed some completely different pictures from the previous ones.
I saw a bright and bright studio hall in the picture. On the huge stage were 84 figures and other standing signs. The camera swept through them one by one, and upon closer inspection, these standing signs were exactly what the 84 surviving tourists looked like.
Then the camera slowly swept across the auditorium closest to the stage, and the excited audience greeted the camera one after another, shouting to cheer for the surviving tourists.
This picture made the surviving tourists completely dumbfounded. Not to mention how their standing cards were placed on the stage, what was even more frightening was that the audience in the front row was clearly the more than 1,900 tourists who had been eliminated before. !
Aren’t they dead? !
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they realized that the situation was interesting.
Instead of trying to whet everyone’s appetite, a handsome and handsome host walked to the center of the stage and greeted the audience enthusiastically. As soon as he opened his mouth, the surviving tourists confirmed that he was the host guarding the treasure box.
The host explained the situation clearly in a few words. The so-called “Zhuoyuan City Tourism Festival” is not a festival in a real city, but the name of a holographic simulation competition.
They are currently on a planet named Zhuoyuan, which belongs to Chang’an civilization.
Chang’an Civilization has seven habitable planets under its jurisdiction. Every three years, the Central Star will hold a competition. The name of the competition is “Chang’an Civilization Tourism Festival”.
In this competition, each of the seven planets can send five groups of players to represent the planets. The ranking of the players in the Chang’an Civilization Tourism Festival Celebration Competition will determine the inclination of the resources of Chang’an Civilization to the planets in the next three years. Therefore, The ranking of the competition is very important, and each planet attaches great importance to it.
Unfortunately, Chang’an Civilization stipulated that among the five groups of contestants sent by each planet, only two groups of contestants could be decided by the officials of each planet, and the remaining three groups of contestants had to be selected from the 2,000 long-term residents randomly selected by Super Brain.
This is to prevent each planet from ignoring the concern for the vast majority of the people by only pursuing the cultivation of high-caliber talents.
Before each Chang’an Civilization Tourism Festival, each planet will receive a list of 2,000 residents of the planet randomly selected by the Chang’an Civilization Super Brain in advance, and then first hold a simulation competition inside their own planet, and select three groups through actual combat. Players represent the planet.
Everything is clear and clear, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were thrown into by the Lord God, and it was the selection match inside Zhuoyuan Star Planet in 2333.
The first 2,000 visitors were the people on the list randomly generated by the super-brain this year, and were invited to participate in the intra-planet trials.
This is related to the honor and interests of the planet where one is located. No one will refuse, not to mention that all those who are willing to participate in the competition will receive the rich rewards provided by the planet. will be popular with the people.
The intra-planet selection competition named “Zhuoyuan City Tourism Festival” is a holographic simulation competition. Death is not real death, but exits the holographic simulation state and wakes up in reality.
The only inconvenience is that most of the memories of the contestants will be obscured, leaving only the subconscious, which means that they will forget Zhuo Yuanxing, forget that they are participating in the internal selection competition of the planet, and only think that they are in a city called Zhuoyuan City. When traveling in the city, an accident happened.
Now that the intra-planet competition is on its last day, the presence of the host means that the memory of the surviving tourists is unsealed. They knew exactly what they were doing, and also knew that the three groups of folk players who would represent Zhuo Yuanxing would be selected from among them.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, full of interest in shock.
No wonder the environment they encountered was so real, no wonder that each group of them felt completely different resistance, because this was a virtual world built with technology.
As the truth was revealed, the theme of the last day’s celebration was also announced by the host:
“2333 Zhuoyuan City Tourism Festival Celebrates the Fifth Day of Carnival: Strive for the top!”
The rules of the competition on the last day are simple and clear. Unlike the previous competition, which is mainly about the environment, the competition on the last day is against other players. Regardless of the means to defeat the opponent, the winner will get the opponent’s boat, and his boat will be higher under the superposition. bigger, and the loser loses his boat.
In the confrontation, you can take the method of killing the opponent to win, but the person who is “killed” will not really die, but will be “resurrected” after half an hour and join the battlefield again.
When the eight-hour race is over, the top three teams with the largest boats will be the winners, with a grand prize awaiting them.
After fully mobilizing the motivation of the remaining players, the host left their blessings for them, and then announced the official end of the program.
After the host announced the truth and clearly knew that they were participating in a holographic simulation competition, the discomfort of the remaining 84 contestants seeing the pictures of various compatriots being eliminated for four consecutive days disappeared instantly, and the fear of death also disappeared. , there is only expectation and eagerness for the final winners and grand prizes.
Death is fake, but being eliminated is real. It’s hard to get to this point. Who doesn’t want to impact the final winner?
In addition to the generous rewards, it represents an opportunity to attract worldwide attention and become famous in Zhuo Yuanxing and even the entire Chang’an civilization.
The two-hour program gave the players who had just finished the previous day’s task time to rest, and the final day’s competition was also postponed by an hour, which will officially start at 9:00 in the morning.
Before the start of the game, Da Hu and Xiao Hu found Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian who were having breakfast in the restaurant, and sat beside them with their plates. After looking around, Da Hu said in a low voice:
“Brother Cheng, Brother Xia, let’s cooperate!”
Cheng Huaiqian raised his eyebrows and motioned for Dahu to continue.
“In the past few days, we have been contacting everywhere, and together with you, we have found ten ‘compatriots’ in total, but unfortunately there are only four of us left, and the other six have been eliminated.
The last game was a big melee. I know you are strong, but your goal is too big. I am afraid that when you want to fight alone, others want to beat you.
It is better for the four of us to cooperate and take care of each other, and the possibility of winning is even greater! “
Dahu lowered his voice and spoke passionately, but Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were sitting opposite, continued to eat breakfast on their own, and did not show much interest.
