Chapter 122 Opportunity strikes
The Armed Vehicle Innovation Competition came to an end on the third day after the update was launched.
The requirement of the competition is to assemble and select vehicles with a power of less than 10,000 sacrificial power. During the period, the performance parameters of each entry in the simulation test will be displayed on the forum.
The weights of the evaluation scores are multi-terrain driving performance, cost performance, forum player likes, and points are calculated from multiple dimensions.
The top ten players can directly obtain simulated assembled armed vehicles.
Among them, the top three players in this competition had innovative works that received frequent likes on the forum.
The first place is the magical flying sword assembled by the player "Draw the Sword and Cut Love".
He named the vehicle template "Cloud Hidden Canglong".
In terms of shape, the sword body is painted with spiritual patterns to depict a complicated cloud dragon totem. The dragon head is high and the dragon tail is coiled. It is lifelike, as if it can break out of the sky at any time and soar into the nine heavens. The cloud dragon totem is also cleverly inlaid with inlays. Slot, spiritual stones can be installed to provide extra battery life at critical moments. The wide hilt is equipped with an energy core, and is surrounded by fine silver spiritual patterns, depicting a blooming hell flower.
This assembly can be called a simplified version of flying swords. Players can step on the flying swords and soar into the sky.
But the shortcomings are also obvious.
First of all, in terms of energy life, the incomplete configuration results in a flight life of only half an hour. For additional battery life, you need to purchase spiritual stones in the mall to recharge.
The second is the driving control. Since it is a pedaling ride, there is a risk of falling from the vehicle.
How to control one's own focus has become particularly important.
The player who released the Flying Sword template said that he originally wanted to install two leg locks on the sword, but doing so seriously damaged the aesthetics of the Flying Sword and also increased the consumption of additional armed modules. In the end, he chose to give up and continue to keep the Flying Sword. form.
Although there are obvious shortcomings, Kumogakure Soryu received a lot of praise from players with his super fast movement speed and handsome appearance, and finally won the first place in the overall standings and became the champion of this innovation competition.
The second place was a unicycle assembled by the player "I walk with the wind".
The riding area of this motorcycle is in the center area of the tire. Multiple automatic balancing systems are installed, which can adapt to driving in many complex environments. The biggest advantage is that it saves a lot of use and consumption of armed modules.
The entire structure is divided into an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is used for riding, and the outer ring drives the unicycle to travel when it rotates.
When Qi Sheng saw this design, the first thing he thought of was the unicycle design in the movie "Men in Black" that he had watched before traveling through time.
The third place is the power shoes assembled by the player's "game modifier".
It can be said that this vehicle has no armed mode, or the vehicle mode is the armed mode, and the shape of the vehicle is a pair of shoes.
Can provide additional action efficiency to the player wearing it.
The core feature of the design is that the soles are equipped with energy spray holes to propel forward. Players can eject when jumping or running.
The smaller size allows for more configuration options. It uses mid-level armed modules and has a higher regional armor value than the competition templates provided by the first two players.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. The armor defense provided by the shoes cannot be effectively used in combat.
This is a simple assembly purely for vehicles.
But the lack of armor defense does not mean that this set of armed vehicles has no bonus to combat.
Power shoes under conscious control can be controlled by the player whether to turn on the boost mode, which can significantly improve movement efficiency during combat.
If used by legal players, they can also use power shoes to jump back quickly when encountering a sudden attack in melee combat.
The performance in the review video is excellent.
These three sets of armed vehicle templates consume less than 10,000 sacrificial points. Whether in comprehensive evaluation or in terms of the number of likes from forum players, they must surpass other innovative ideas and win the first place in this innovation competition. Prizes for the top three.
After the top ten were announced, Qi Sheng spent a total of 98,320 sacrificial points to distribute rewards.
After the event, players continued to enthusiastically discuss armed vehicles on the forum.
New vehicles are constantly being developed.
For example, many players who have groups of relatives and friends consider that the price of a single vehicle is too high and usually act in groups, so they simply pool money to build an armed vehicle for one of them that can be used by multiple people.
Among them, many imaginative vehicle models were born.
For example, the low-end version of the black-armored snake mount "Wandering Dragon Truck" built with speed as the core indicator, equipped with 12 power tires and multiple carriages, can load 80 players at a time, and there is no problem with overload transportation. After all, Monster World There is no overload indicator, so the Youlong truck is also designed with multiple suspended seats. The scene of a truck full of players driving is very joyful.
The only drawback of this set of vehicles is that it has weak defense. It cannot run rampant on the battlefield like the black-armored snake mount. It is easy for the structure to collapse when attacked by external forces, causing the vehicle to be destroyed and people to be separated.
Or a steel truck built with defense as its core indicator.
This set of designs is specially designed for players of the gargoyle style. The front face of the truck is equipped with intermediate armed modules. The design concept is to load a truck of gargoyle players into a dense enemy area and assist the gargoyle players in charging forward.
There are many other interesting multi-player mount designs.
However, this type of design consumes more than 10,000 sacrifice points. Even if it is highly practical, it cannot participate in the evaluation of this brain innovation competition.
……
Ghost sea.
Different from the environment in Cangxing Sea Area, this sea area is shrouded in a thick layer of fog all year round.
When night falls, a large number of ghost-like will-o'-the-wisps will appear on the sea surface and float around. Occasionally, ethereal and resentful cries will be heard over the sea area, hence the name Ghost Sea Area.
At the center of the sea is a massive island, which is also home to the Arena of Death.
It can be seen that aircraft are constantly entering through the energy barrier outside the island.
One of the aircraft docked at a corner of the island, and a large number of metal boxes were spit out from the gate in the belly of the aircraft after it landed.
Steam rises and the gate slowly opens.
38 fighters who were captured and brought to the arena appeared.
In front of them stood a burly barbarian slave holding a chain.
He glanced at the captured foreign warriors with his cold eyes, ignored their expressions of despair, and began to introduce the rules of the arena.
After introducing the rules and requirements, the ancient god slave added:
"As weak people, it is your honor to come here and get the opportunity to please the ancient gods."
Just when the slaves of the ancient god were about to turn around and lead these fighters to the giant snake arena on the first floor, one of the captured aliens walked out:
"Wait, I have something important to tell you."
Everyone turned their attention to the foreign warrior who spoke, and he was Hei Ying, a warrior of the Black Wind Tribe.
The slave of the ancient god turned to look at Hei Ying, his cold eyes flashing fiercely:
"Say."
"I want to provide information. I know the residence of a ethnic group. The races there have mastered a variety of abilities, which are very suitable for being captured into the arena to participate in a death duel to please the ancient gods."
Hearing these words, a ferocious smile appeared on the face of the slave of the ancient god:
"It seems that this clan has a grudge against you, and you want to use the power of the arena to restrict the development of this clan."
"For you, this is not important. You only want excellent fighters. This is the key." Hei Ying, who already had a death wish in his heart, responded without changing his expression.
"Very good, I'll give you a chance to say it."
"The end of the Cangxing Sea in the south direction of the Ghost Sea is the Caiwu Coast area that connects to the mainland. There is a group of people with very special abilities living there..."
After listening to Heiying's introduction, the slave of the ancient god nodded:
"I will give the information you mentioned to the hunters, and they will go to investigate when the time comes. If everything is the same as what you said, that area will become the area that the hunters will focus on... But none of this is important to you anymore. The future is in the arena.”
Hearing this, Hei Ying took a deep breath:
"I heard that as long as you reach 15 wins in the arena, you can get freedom, right?"
The slave of the ancient god nodded:
"As long as you can get 15 wins, you can get 10 years of freedom. At that time, the ancient gods will take you to a higher-level arena and become a fighter in the high-level arena. As for gaining eternal freedom, there is only one way, then It’s about becoming a 30-win warrior.”
"At that time, you will no longer be a restricted competitive warrior. You will be given the title of champion fighter by the ancient gods and gain the honor of serving the ancient gods."
"I understand." A trace of bitterness appeared on Hei Ying's face.
He knows how difficult it is to win 15 games.
A 15-win fighter once appeared in the nearby waters, and the legends about the arena also came from the mouth of this 15-win fighter.
However, there has only been one 15-win fighter in the nearby waters in recent years.
He knew that with his own strength, it would be impossible to pass the Death Arena, and the most likely outcome would be to fall down in the promotion rounds after rounds.
I have heard that the arena will provide valuable resources to assist fighters in their rapid growth. The growth rate of all fighters will be developed to the extreme. The growth rate here is far from what the outside world can match.
But every fighter has the privilege of rapidly improving their strength, and he is no exception, and the vast majority of fighters are unable to take their improved strength out of the arena.
In the end, they will all fall on the road to promotion and become a stepping stone for other fighters to advance. "Come with me and begin your first battle to please the ancient god." The slave of the ancient god turned around at this time.
Facing the slaves of the ancient gods who were far more powerful than themselves, the foreign warriors present could not even think of resisting, and followed the slaves of the ancient gods to the location of the first round of the giant snake arena.
……
Half a day later.
Colorful fog coastal area.
The Black Wind Tribe was defeated, and the lively scene of the past was restored on the coast.
Some players are organizing combat forces on the shore and preparing to go hunting at the nodes in the Crystal Palace domain. Some players are catching crabs nearby and preparing to sell them at a stall at night. There are also players who are fishing for spiritual fish on the coast... Each player has his or her own way of experiencing the game content. Way.
At this moment, a player on the regional voice channel exclaimed:
"Brothers, look at the map, look at the map quickly, the hidden mission is rapidly approaching the Caimu Coast area!"
After hearing the reminder from the regional voice channel, players opened the map to check.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Suddenly, he discovered that an arena aircraft with a hidden mission was approaching the Caimu Coast area at an extremely fast speed.
Realizing that the opportunity had come, players near the Colorful Mist Coast gathered towards the coast.
After hearing the news, players who were in the novice village space of Caimu Coast or the Imperial Tomb Village space also came one after another, wanting to start their journey to the arena by contacting the hidden missions.
To paraphrase a certain player: Arena duels are not important at all, the point is that they want to please the ancient gods.
Soon a large number of players gathered on the coast.
They are looking eagerly at the end of the sea, waiting for the opportunity to come, hoping that they will be the lucky ones selected for the hidden mission.
If other ethnic groups in the sea saw this scene, they would definitely feel incredible.
In their eyes, the arena represents despair and death. If they are captured, there is no possibility of getting out alive.
But in the eyes of players, death is the norm.
Every player has experienced death, and if death can be exchanged for generous rewards, they are willing to die.
While waiting, some players have even imagined the wonderful scene of winning consecutive battles in the arena and harvesting huge sacrifices.
Finally, a silent flying arena aircraft appeared at the end of the horizon.
Seeing this scene, many players jumped and waved, hoping that the arena aircraft would notice this.
Some players even purchased flares from the mall and released them, fearing that the arena aircraft would change course and their joy would be in vain.
In the player's expectation, the aircraft arrived as expected and continued to zoom in and out of sight.
When the aircraft landed on the coast, the players cheered excitedly.
At this time, the arena hunter in the aircraft saw this scene with an extremely confused expression, obviously unable to understand the strange behavior of this group of creatures on the coast.
Before that, wherever the aircraft passed, the sea aliens living on the major islands fled in all directions, for fear of being captured by him and sent to the arena.
The behavior of this group of aliens on the coast seems to be looking forward to its arrival.
But the hunter didn't think about this problem. He only needed to complete the task ordered by the ancient god and capture the fighter.
In a flash of thought, a beam of light shot out from the aircraft and swept across the alien figure on the coast who was looking forward to it.
Suddenly, dense red dots and blue dots appeared in the biological detection radar ahead. The life strength and mental strength of the alien race below could be judged by the glow of the red dots and blue dots.
Seeing the scan data on the display, the hunter couldn't help but frown.
This group of creatures generally has low strength, and most of them do not meet the standards for capture, but there are still a few that barely meet the requirements of junior fighters.
Then he began to control the aircraft to eject the energy cord, accurately entangle the alien life forms that met the standard in the dense group below, and drag them into metal containers to imprison them.
Players were extremely excited when they saw the aircraft starting to pick people.
While being entangled and dragged away by the energy rope, a certain player turned around and raised his middle finger downward:
"Hahaha, this good luck is finally my turn, I have to take the first step."
After a certain player saw his brother around him being entangled by an energy rope, he reached out to grab the rope and tried to "fly up" with his brother. However, he was instantly ejected by the energy bursting out of the rope. Then he couldn't help but laugh as his good brother left. Swear loudly:
"You really deserve to die. I wish you come back with zero victory. I'll wait for you here."
While being entangled and dragged by the energy rope, a certain player turned around and made a gesture showing off his biceps. He looked at the members of his guild and grinned:
"This is the treatment of the strong. Brothers, there is no need to give them away. I will go to the arena to get a sack with a few bags of money and then come back. When the time comes, I will return home in fine clothes and give you red envelopes."
……
The arrest took less than a minute.
A total of 12 players were captured into the Arena Flyer.
As the aircraft left, the remaining players had very ugly expressions, feeling that they had missed the opportunity to make a fortune.
There were even more curses in the voice channel:
"Why are the people who were kidnapped all human race? The ancient gods are racist, right? Why are there none of us from the gillfish tribe and the Yuanyu tribe? I protest and I want to report it to the Earth Alliance. It's so unfair."< br>
"Seeing my good brother being kidnapped is more uncomfortable than killing me. We are all on the same life soul level. He plays melee and I play mage. Why is he the one who was kidnapped and not me? The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Wait for my strength If you become stronger, you will have to destroy that arena.”
"Brothers upstairs, don't do it. The arena is a sacred place for harvesting wool. It is our heartfelt wish to please the ancient gods. I firmly maintain the hegemony of the ancient gods in this sea area and will never allow anyone to destroy the ancient gods' competition. Not even the ancient gods.”
"I wasted 20 minutes waiting and didn't catch a single hair. Let's continue to the Crystal Palace to kill shrimps and crab generals, trying to win the rule field node as soon as possible. I'm really looking forward to this rule BUFF. I don't know what effect it will bring."
……
This is the end of the hidden mission in the eyes of players.
This group of players going to Death Arena has become the focus of forum players.
The captured players are also very smart.
Knowing that you can start a live broadcast at this time to gain popularity, and if you are lucky, you can get rewards and sponsorships from Krypton gold players, you start the live broadcast mode one after another.
During this period, the aircraft that captured the player traveled to many islands in the sea, and finally flew straight through the Evil Moon Domain to the Ghost Shadow Sea.
47 minutes later, the aircraft docked in the Death Arena.
The captured players were also gradually released from the metal prison.
Different from the fear and despair in the eyes of other alien warriors, the arriving players were eager to fight and their expressions were extremely excited.
The slave of the ancient god looked very surprised when he saw this scene.
"It's interesting."
As he said that, the ancient god's slave looked at the aircraft and said in a deep voice:
"Hunter, what race are these warriors?"
In response to the inquiry, a voice came from the aircraft:
"I don't know. It was the information given to me by No. 4, telling me to go to the Aigiri Coast area to capture the lives."
"No. 4?!" After hearing this, the Ancient God's slave nodded, then glanced at the players present, and asked with a joking expression:
"Aren't you afraid? Do you know where this is?"
Facing the inquiry, some players immediately responded:
"Arena of Death!"
"Then do you know what you need to do here?"
"Please the Ancient God!" The players answered in unison, with uncontrollable joy and excitement in their eyes.
The player's answer made the ancient god's servant obviously stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing:
"Very good, you make me very satisfied. Although the strength of the energy and blood dissipating in your body is very weak, your high fighting spirit and consciousness surpass those warriors who have no strength but are afraid to fight. You are more like a qualified fighter than them. .”
As he said that, the ancient god's slave glanced at the foreign warriors with frightened expressions, and there was an undisguised disdain in his eyes.
After saying this, the slave of the ancient god looked at the aircraft that was still parked not far away:
"Hunters, focus on this race."
The hunter did not answer, and controlled the aircraft to fly straight into the sky, preparing to start a new round of capture activities.
