Chapter 480 Go All Out-The Return of the King
The ‘Starry Sky Cup’ was already extremely popular even before Umbrella’s Penglai quota was released.
Even though it is only the first event, "Star World" itself is an old game with a large fan base.
So there will definitely be some traditional e-sports projects, where there will be various speculations and fan groups fighting before the game.
For example, 'I guess how many top teams so-and-so can enter', 'So-and-so will definitely win the championship' and so on.
The difficulty of controlling the VR platform is actually very high, because the control is very complicated.
Even now, most people still can't beat someone else's computer mouse control!
This time, there is no restriction in the Star Sky Cup that does not allow computer mice to participate in the competition. According to the proportion announced in the first game, the winning rate of computer mouse control accounted for 80%.
But it is undeniable that the operating limit of a computer mouse is much lower than that of a VR platform.
Two consecutive victories fell sharply in an instant.
Three consecutive victories are rare.
Therefore, for the results of this competition, netizens originally speculated that most of them were the first batch of professional players to use the VR platform in "Star World".
The e-sports attributes of "Star World" are not high on weekdays. It mainly focuses on character development and teamwork.
But because of the popularity and playability of the game, retired e-sports players like PDD and others will also join this game.
After all, their fan base itself has this attribute, and they also like games, so it is impossible to miss it.
They have accumulated more than two years of game experience and are also professional players themselves, so even after those superstars announced that they would participate.
It is still the same group of professional players from the original "Star World" who rank higher.
Among them, although PDD is not the most advanced person in the competition, he is still ranked very high.
Just like what PDD himself boasts about.
The top 16 is difficult, but the top 128 are not stable?
No matter how bad things get, 1024 can still be handled easily!
With this kind of strength, it is normal for him to easily win the preliminary round and enter the top 1024. Even if he wins more consecutive games, he will match opponents with the same victory.
There are too many contestants, so it doesn’t matter.
But who would have thought that this is only the sixth game, and the opponent is indeed not a famous player.
But can he fight with PDD to this extent?
That crazy energy can really be felt through the screen!
If PDD hadn't really been a seasoned player of the game, had a good grasp of various features, and used a very good strategy, I'm afraid he would have been defeated directly.
"I-I don't remember this athlete at all. I can't even pronounce his name, and I don't even think he looks familiar!"
"Me too! In fact, we are not even familiar with most of the Pakistani Olympic athletes later."
"Yes, you might pay attention to it if you get a gold medal, but in fact, many people will forget about it after time passes."
"Unless it's a very important gold medal or multiple gold medals..."
"..."
If you can watch the PDD schedule here instead of watching Jordan, Kobe and the others, you can be said to be a die-hard PDD fan.
There is also considerable support for PDD.
They really didn't expect the previous scene.
But at this time, some water friends who came back from other live broadcast rooms spoke
"Brothers, we really thought too much before. Those professional athletes who have been training since childhood, their hard work is really scary! I went to watch one of Kobe Bryant's games before, and I was completely overwhelmed by Feike. Fight, fight until you can’t fight back.”
"Holy shit, Kobe beats Kobe?"
"What combination is this..."
"I'm going to look at it!"
"I'm going to find the video. I'll come back later..."
"..."
There were a lot of people missing from the live broadcast room for a while, which made PDD feel a little speechless.
However, he really wanted to see it!
It's just that the rest time in the preliminary round was only so long, and he was soon matched again.
The front is the sixth game, this is only the seventh game!
This means that the opponent also has six consecutive victories!
However, PDD, who was fully prepared, found that this time the opponent was obviously much weaker than the last one. He should be a wild player. Although his strength was not weak, he was still easily able to defeat him.
This put a smile on PDD's face again
"Brothers, it should have been a matter of luck before. After all, there are so many players, I think it will be okay..."
But his mouth seemed to be opened.
The next moment, another athlete was lined up, but this time it was a beautiful athlete from the United States and an NBA player, but he also fell into the category that cannot be named.
But the water friends still have great powers, and some people recognized each other
"Ah, I remember this, this is the Magic's backup center."
"Really? I have no impression at all, no sense of existence at all."
"Really no sense of presence, standard NBA blue collar."
"But you are still playing in the NBA. Being able to get in shows your strength."
"Looks like an honest person."
"Well, I always think it's derogatory to describe NBA players as honest."
"I have watched his games, and he is indeed a top defensive tool, with nothing offensive."
"..."
PDD also saw the comments of water friends from the barrage, and felt refreshed.
The unknown athlete had already cast a big shadow on him before, and now there was another one.
After entering the 'trash talk' time, both parties also chose to agree to connect.
An old face with some vicissitudes of life appeared on the opposite side.
A standard Western face with a bit of stubble, which makes him look a bit decadent, and the angle when he is wearing a helmet also looks a bit dull.
It really proves the title of ‘Honest Bajiao’.
With simultaneous translation, there is no need to worry about communication problems. PDD, who is very good at creating a lively atmosphere, grinned
"Hello, I have watched your NBA game, and I hope we can have a wonderful confrontation later."
As for foreign friends, his attitude is more formal.
The other party looked at PDD and nodded
"Hello, young man, I am very young and I don't look like a sumo wrestler."
The sentence "Don't look like a sumo wrestler" directly set the live broadcast room on fire.
A group of water friends who were originally nervous and were still analyzing suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha! Doesn't look like a sumo wrestler!"
"Laughing to death!"
"The key is his serious expression. He is really not joking, he has carefully analyzed it!"
"Haha! Teacher Piao suffered a critical attack."
"I saw the anger bar..."
"..."
If it's just ridicule, it won't actually make them so happy.
The key is that this guy means it seriously.
It seems that he also realized that he said the wrong thing, and this unknown blue-collar veteran NBA player also took the initiative to apologize
"Sorry, I may have said something that offended you, mainly because I subconsciously wanted to treat you as an athlete.
"To be able to win so many games in a row, you must be an e-sports player or a professional gamer. It's really amazing."
PDD, who was originally very eloquent, was also internally hurt by the previous words, and now he just laughed.
If it weren't for maintaining an image, I might have to spit out fragrance.
Then the other party didn't stop and started talking to himself like spitting beans.
"As you can see, I am an NBA professional player. I really like basketball. I have liked it since I was a child. Plus I am tall, so I was successfully admitted to high school with my basketball talent and went all the way to the NBA. < br>
"I used to dream about entering the NBA and killing everyone, becoming a top star, and reaching the pinnacle of life, but the reality has told me that talent is more important than hard work in this world, no matter how much practice I do, or how much I do In response to the situation, all I can do is fulfill my responsibilities and complete the defense..."
PDD smiled dryly and kept nodding while listening, while the water friends over there were also making complaints.
"I am 37 years old this year, and my contract is about to expire in one year, and I think my team will not renew my contract. A player who has no characteristics and has reached retirement age has brought back a lot of injuries. Besides, I didn’t actually bring back much money.
"I'm different from other players. I don't like to spend all my salary. I've saved a lot, and I might be able to apply for a middle school assistant coach or something in the future. But I'm really unwilling to give up basketball. < br>
"I don't have the money to grab the spot decided after the game. If I don't take this opportunity, I won't have the money to pay for the treatment..."
After finishing talking to himself, he looked up at PDD, his fiery eyes seeming to ignite PDD through the screen.
The water friends before the live broadcast seemed to be able to see the fire in the other party's pupils.
"I say all this not to win your sympathy or to ask you to let go, but to tell you that I will definitely give my best in this game!"
When PDD, who was laughing dryly, heard the other party's words, he seemed to think of himself when he was regarded as an Internet addicted teenager.
Despite the misunderstanding of his family and the ridicule of others, he relied on his love for e-sports and his hard work in training to get here.
And for this competition, we also specially found a team to conduct targeted training.
My own contribution is definitely a lot!
My own body also has many problems!
"I am not an athlete, but I am also a former professional e-sports player, and I will also try my best!"
PDD, who has always been joking and non-serious, chatting and making jokes, this time his expression and attitude made many water friends seem to know him again.
Damn it...
This competition is really different...
Chapter 638
"What operation is this?"
Controlling the mecha and facing the dizziness caused by the spinning screen in front of him, PDD forced a wave of extreme operations and finally managed to replace one of the opponent's arms with one arm after the opponent's sudden advance.
Then he rotated the body to regain the distance, and continued to use the shoulder anti-cannon to shoot back the opponent's approach again.
If it weren't for the richer gaming experience, the moment just now would probably be gone.
Is this an ‘unknown NBA bench player’?
After all, you are also a well-known e-sports player, okay?
"Don't underestimate me!"
Boom~
As the melee attack came closer again, PDD's attack was blocked by the opponent's incomplete shoulder, and he was shot through the cockpit, and then the two characters "Failure" were displayed on the front.
After winning seven games in a row, they finally fell in the eighth game...
But even though he lost, PDD had nothing to regret, because he had tried his best and showed his strength through all his sweat and it was worth it.
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit short."
"Yes, it was possible that we might have died together."
"Almost."
"But it looks great, I like it very much!"
"Come on, let me get to know you again."
"..."
Different from the hip-hop that water friends mocked in the past, this time there were many encouraging comments, which also made PDD laugh.
"Don't worry, one loss is nothing. I am still very stable among the top 1024, and now that my winning streak has come down, my next opponent will not be so strong..."
PDD smiled heartily and quickly entered the next game.
Then he saw Feike with a paralyzed expression on his face.
Oh, yes, I think I heard someone say before that he was beaten by Kobe...
Mudd, an NBA bench beat himself up like this, as if it was normal for him to be rubbed one-sidedly.
Compared to PDD, who had a hearty game, the unhappy expression written on his face seemed to indicate that he hadn't come out yet.
E-sports players are also proud, and some of them also have great personalities.
Feike is definitely one of them.
Then PDD angrily yelled, ‘You can’t take your anger out on me! ''I'm still speaking for you on the live broadcast! ’ ‘You’re still cutting people with sticks! You beast...' Among the many voices, I lost the second one...
Situations like PDD are not unique.
When everyone was originally optimistic about e-sports players, the rapid rise of traditional sports players was so unexpected!
Even though the VR platform has just been opened, mechas have become much more complicated after the control module was opened, and the controls are completely different. Everyone has a similar starting point for control, but the problem is that the old players of "Star World" have a better understanding of various information parameters!
And no matter what, if there is an e-sports competition, the subconscious mind will definitely think that it is easier for previous e-sports players to get started and that young people are more adaptable.
But this is not the case.
"Is this a brain machine?"
"So amazing!"
"Seeing Jordan killing everyone, I feel like my youth is back!"
"Looking forward to the showdown between Kobe and Jordan. This time, there is no physical disadvantage!"
"But have you noticed that some masters are completely unknown, with no news at all."
"I know, those are retired pilots..."
"Fuck!"
"Yes, Shuma's strength is also obviously superior, he is an absolute T0."
"Is he still receiving treatment?"
“It’s really more of an operation...”
"..."
Due to various upsets and the return of various kings, the hosting of the ‘Starry Sky Cup’ can be said to be extremely successful.
With the end of the preliminary round, all 1024 contestants have been announced!
PDD is still on the list.
Obviously, so many players have been ranked, with a ranking of 1024.
Later, everyone discovered that there was really no ordinary person on this list!
Those who are not famous are either pilots or retired special forces.
Former e-sports players like Big Nose Ruofeng were eliminated, and there were quite a few who failed to make the list!
All kinds of upsets, all kinds of dark horses!
The group of young talents in the entertainment industry were completely wiped out, and only a few veteran action stars entered the list, including Uncle Long, Li Jie, Zhou Billy, and Chang Wei.
It's not that those martial arts experts and top stand-ins are not good, but they don't have the money to hire a professional team for targeted training.
Just like pilots and special forces, most of them come in by relying on their own personal abilities, so the proportion is not high. Those who can squeeze into 1024 are definitely at the level of ace pilots and soldiers.
After all, this is a game, and targeted training and an efficient training team are very important, especially when the VR platform has just been opened, and many contestants have not been exposed to "Star World" before. in this way.
"This is a game that really changes the status quo."
"Absolute! Being young has advantages, but there is no absolute advantage anymore."
"I really shed tears when I saw Dayao killing everyone."
“I really feel that people are much younger.”
"I didn't play games before, but now I have bought a VR platform, which is really good..."
"..."
It can be said that the warm-up for this event even exceeded Wang Yi's original expectations.
After all, although "Star World" is an epoch-making game, for many people who play Earth OL as a game, they may not catch a cold even if the game is excellent.
This time, relying on the authenticity of mecha control and the influence of those veteran superstars, this VR platform has once again become popular.
Then when the time comes for abyss mining in the future, the ability to accept it will be stronger.
The Internet is full of replays of all kinds of wonderful videos.
Especially for those veteran superstars, every battle has a large number of views and reposts.
It is as if a global competition has been formed!
Such good news is in front of us, making many foreign capitals very greedy.
They even started lobbying to lift the ban on global companies.
There was no way, Professor Wang was a great scientist who didn't care much about gains and losses, so the previous sanctions were completely innocuous to him.
There was no compromise at all.
Instead of continuing to hang on, it would be better to let go and let everyone cooperate and reap some benefits.
The surrounding influence is quite large!
Are they being merciful by letting the beautiful girl loosen her restrictions?
In fact, I just let it go because I found it was of no use and it was not a problem at all.
Only your own strength can cope with all problems.
Any prayer for peace is illusory.
If you give in even one step, you will be pushed further and further!
And just after the top 1024 were announced and the game time was announced.
Gradually, as those game videos gained momentum, a new and bizarre viewpoint emerged on the Internet.
This point of view was made by a video blogger who edited and compared videos.
"Hello everyone, I am a fan of Liu Xiaoke, and I am also a senior video blogger. Well, through my editing, I discovered some great problems. Now I invite you to judge..."
Afterwards, he sent out some replays of some of the highlights of mecha combat during the preliminary rounds.
The best clips of Shuma, Kobe, and Jordan were individually edited.
The next moment, the scene of Liu Xiaoke beating Ma Dong and Qin Xiang in an exhibition match was edited.
Then play it back frame by frame through time, distance, super slow motion and other means.
A conclusion was drawn based on calculations...
Liu Xiaoke's reaction speed is one step faster than everyone here!
"Actually, I originally just wanted to see the gap between Xiao Ke and those top guys before I came up with this, but the result surprised me a bit. Let's see if this is the case?"
Because Liu Xiaoke completely suppressed Ma Dong and Qin Xiang to play, in fact, the exhibition match was not very exciting, it was just a warm-up.
Then there are some jokes and topics left.
That kind of reaction requires a frame-by-frame response, which cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Just like many passer-by kings, they look very strong and kill everyone, but when compared with current professional players, the gap in details will be infinitely magnified.
There are so many wonderful videos to watch, but I don’t pay special attention to those of Liu Xiaoke.
The person competing was a mecha, not her, so what else could she watch if it wasn't pleasing to the eye.
But who would have thought that a fan of Liu Xiaoke would go out of his way to pull these out.
Take a look at the results.
Good guy, Liu Xiaoke's reaction is faster than those of the top players?
If the mecha is just fast and performs well, it may also be some blessings and benefits from the exhibition competition.
But the problem is that the operational response cannot be improved by adding buffs to the performance of the mecha!
Just like a wild cat catching a snake, it relies on reflex nerves to be faster!
Relying on that seemingly small gap, you can ensure that you will never be bitten and finally successfully hunt the prey.
E-sports players often operate in the same way. A speed of 0.1 seconds is a completely different result.
It is obvious that Liu Xiaoke's reaction speed is significantly higher than those of the fastest reacting people at present...
For this reason, a reporter went to Wu Ke's set to interview him.
Liu Xiaoke, who never cared about this, glanced at it and just said, "Maybe it's because I have practiced martial arts." ’ He just stopped responding.
Because of his confidence, Liu Xiaoke has always had the interviewing bug in front of reporters, and he doesn’t have to worry about giving reporters face...
Chapter 639 The Return of the King
A lakeside villa in Central Europe has been transformed into a top-notch ward.
A large number of expensive medical instruments can be seen in the room.
This is where Shuma, once known as the car king, now lives.
As the most famous racing driver in history, Schuma retired from the competition, but it was because of a skiing accident that he fell into a coma.
However, his wife Colleen did not choose to give up, but chose to spend a high fee to complete the renewal of her life.
Switzerland originally had an extremely developed medical industry, and Shuma's own worth was so high that they were able to pull him back from hell.
Later, with the advent of Umbrella's culture medium, and relying on some new drug tests based on the culture medium, the car king who might have almost been in a coma finally woke up from his coma.
He just woke up and couldn't even communicate using words.
But just at this moment, Umbrella's brain-computer device appeared.
After repeated discussions with many top doctors, they decided to use this set of equipment to perform some rehabilitation training on him, and the results were unexpectedly amazing.
This time, another group of doctors came to the scene for consultation.
"Suma, how do you feel?"
A man in a white coat looked at the former racing king with some emotion, who had shrunk to a little over 1.6 meters due to being bedridden all year round. He also felt a little sad in his heart.
"Feeling? It feels great! I seem to have found my old goal again! Umbrella..., how long have I been in a coma? Can you give me an accurate estimate?"
A burst of electronic sound came from a small speaker beside the bed.
This is a connection accomplished through a brain-computer connection device.
The functional modules of Shuma's brain itself have not been damaged. What is relatively affected is the external connection. Now he himself cannot speak and can only move his eyes.
But all this under the brain-computer connection device has solved many problems.
At least it allows him to communicate with the outside world and understand the situation.
Originally, these doctors just wanted to use the brain-computer interface to complete some tests to see how Shuma was doing.
But the result turned out to be surprisingly good!
There was no damage to the main functional areas of the brain.
After some debugging using the brain-computer chip, the vocal problem was solved.
There have even been attempts at attaching prosthetics.
However, just as Umbrella did not launch supporting devices for patients with high paraplegia, the issues that need to be considered are more troublesome.
(Note: High paraplegia is not a vegetative state, there is a fundamental difference.)
Shuma's body has shrunk to a little over 1.6 meters, which is really not suitable for them to forcefully put on a set of braces and start exercising.
There has to be some way to make some comprehensive repairs.
But just when they were having some discussions and putting forward various opinions.
The situation arose when Ma Dong went to Penglai to receive treatment in the medical cabin.
Then it was revealed that Penglai had a more advanced medical system.
This immediately led this group of famous doctors to come to a unanimous conclusion.
If there is anywhere that can truly be saved, it is without a doubt Umbrella!
So they made some suggestions to Shuma's wife.
Originally, they were prepared to wait for Penglai to open and then spend money directly.
Judging from Shuma's worth, even though he has spent a lot of money so far, it is still easy.
But after Shuma found out, he decided to participate in person!
After considering his physical condition, the doctors finally agreed to let Shuma try it.
After all, after lying down for so long, I really need a place to relax and relax.
For this competition, a professional team was invited to conduct targeted special training.
As the former car king, Schuma also completed the start at an astonishing speed.
However, even though Schuma has started to participate in the competition and has obtained a guaranteed spot, he still feels like he is living in a dream.
Didn't I just sleep for so long?
Why does the world change as soon as you wake up?
"Umbrella came out of nowhere, and we were caught off guard. They directly changed the world."
"It's hard to explain their achievements in a short period of time, but it is indeed a very young company. It only appeared in the year when your accident happened."
"Umbrella is good at creating miracles. I think your best hope lies with them."
"Through current brain-computer testing, we can know that the main functional areas of Shuma's brain have not been damaged much. His reactions and thoughts can easily generate corresponding signals, but his brain's external connection function has been affected. Great damage.”
"Yes, so even if Umbrella only has what it has shown before, it can restore Shuma's weak body better, and maybe it can use some prosthetics to complete the remaining operations, at least it will be better than lying on the bed now. Much more convenient.”
And while they were discussing the situation, a nurse suddenly came in and said to Shuma's wife Colleen
"Madam, a reporter wants to interview Mr. Schuma."
Hearing this, Colleen couldn't help but show a look of dissatisfaction
"Didn't you tell them not to bother us? It's really hateful."
The relationship between Colleen and Shuma is still very deep.
After Shuma's accident, Colleen, who was protected by Shuma for the first half of her life, chose her own way to protect Shuma for the second half of her life.
In fact, some doctors had already recommended euthanasia at the beginning, because the medical condition really meant that unless a miracle happened, all that would be left was pain.
This is especially true when it is known through brain waves that Shuma himself is conscious.
But Colleen refused.
Originally, if she agreed, she could legally obtain Shuma's property and live her lower body in style, but in the end she chose to fight the disease.
Try to use drugs to ease the pain and put him in a state similar to a coma, so as to prevent the loneliness of complete confinement from driving people crazy.
A lot of money and energy was spent to extend Shuma's life.
Now, in fact, to a certain extent, it is also a kind of victory that she insists on, at least she has seen hope.
She has always kept a low profile, actively receiving treatment and rarely giving interviews to the media.
She also didn't want the outside world to see the powerful Shuma like this.
Originally, it was nothing.
But Shuma's sudden appearance in the Starry Sky Cup mecha competition attracted a lot of attention.
Even though he has been out of the public eye for so many years, Shuma's reputation has not diminished at all!
This naturally caused a huge sensation and caused a huge topic.
Under such circumstances, it seemed natural that another reporter would come over.
"Honey, I thought maybe I could have a little chat with the reporter."
Shuma apparently also heard this through an external device and said to his wife.
He was naturally very grateful to his wife for being able to regain the hope of a new life.
He also knows the strain these years have put on his wife.
However, now that he has woken up, even if he is still lying in bed, he should still block the violent storm outside!
