According to the rules of this competition, contestants can choose not to reveal their appearance and real name. Pei Shijian participated by hiding his appearance and name.
But his identity can be hidden from ordinary people, but not from people with background like Ji Zhaoyun, so he was guessed in minutes.
In the original text, this game is also the first step of Pei Shijian's road to glory. Not only Ji Zhaoyun, who is deeply fascinated by his skills after watching the game, also met a lot of talented people with good backgrounds during the game A good friend also laid the foundation for him to seize the throne in the future.
In the end, Pei Shijian won the first place and became famous in the entire empire. After that, he defeated the Zerg spies undercover in the imperial capital (a villain who was used badly in various interstellar texts). After this incident, he became famous, and his fans broke billions overnight. It seemed that those who bullied him at the beginning were retaliated against, and they could no longer hang out in the capital.
As the cannon fodder who was expelled from the school for such a shameful reason not long ago, Shao Ci's mood is very complicated. Just thinking about it, he knows that Pei Shijian's revenge is not over yet. When he gets more power in the future, It's hard to say whether I can survive.
And he still has to conquer Pei Shijian before he can leave! ! The degree of favorability has already exceeded the negative limit.
Just thinking about Shao Ci puts a lot of pressure on him. It would be great if he could take the route of the hero in the original text to participate in this mecha competition. .
[Host, you can participate in this virtual mecha competition. In addition, in the virtual world, because everyone's consciousness is projected in, there will be no binding of new attack targets.]
"The focus is not on the target of the strategy, although this is also very important... If I am a scumbag like me, if I go to participate in some mecha competition, I will definitely be eliminated in the first round." Shao Ci retorted subconsciously , but my heart was slightly shaken.
Although the original owner has been Beta with inhibitors for more than ten years, his actual physique is still similar to that of Omega, just a little stronger than those Omega, so his grades in school are also low, and he bullies ordinary students like the protagonist in the original text .
The original owner ridiculed Pei Shijian before, in fact, because he was jealous that he was an Alpha. Although he didn't want to admit it, Alpha has a natural advantage in terms of force value.
But as long as it is a boy, who wouldn't be excited by the mecha. When Shao Ci was an otaku, he liked to watch war games, and every time he saw the protagonist's machine armor, he wanted to try it himself. But now, such opportunities are in front of him, and it is too unreasonable not to try.
Shao Ci turned his head and looked at the regular screen beside him. He only needed to pay 60 Imperial Coins to participate in the competition. Of course, these 60 Imperial Coins only provided the lowest practice mechas, and he had to spend money on good mechas.
So to a certain extent, this kind of competition can be achieved by spending money. Others who break through the siege are basically skilled, but like Pei Shijian, they can use old-fashioned mechas through practice. It is the first time in a hundred years that other people have assembled high-level mechas with hundreds of millions of imperial coins, which is why they have attracted so many fans.
Now anyone who wants to participate can participate in the competition. The competition adopts a point system. The hundred people with the highest points before the end of the time can advance to the final. If you win a game, you can get 2 points, and if you lose, you will lose 2 points. A tie is 0 points.
Although it is only fighting in the virtual world, it will also consume mental power, which will affect performance if the mental power is low, so the average person only fights two or three times a day.
"Anyway, it's only 60 imperial coins, and going to a movie is about the same price, and you can still be anonymous." Shao Ci walked to the automatic registration office at the side without any burden, and directly swiped it with his personal terminal. Then the space around the whole person went black, and then several virtual screens appeared in front of him.
[Please select the mecha you want to use. ] The emotionless mechanical synthesizer sounded.
Shao Ci looked at the screen in front of him. There were all kinds of mechs on it, as well as all kinds of new weapons. Many of them were inaccessible to ordinary people in the outside world, but they could be used in the virtual world by paying imperial coins.
Of course, Shao Ci chose the free old-fashioned mecha without hesitation. He wouldn't spend an extra imperial coin for such a game that was impossible to win!
Then there is the choice of whether to hide the appearance, and the name of the competition.
Of course, Shao Ci chose to hide his appearance, but he didn't think much about the name, so he just typed the word "Little Prince Spicy Tiao"... Speaking of which, it was his nickname when he was hanging out on the Internet.
People in the future will definitely not know what Latiao is. This will not only keep the sense of mystery, but also let him remember the Latiao that he liked to eat when he didn’t time travel... After saying this, he suddenly felt that the name was perfect.
After making the selection, the shining screen in front of Shao Ci's eyes completely went dark.
[An old-fashioned mech has been selected... Successfully registered in the game... The current score is 0... Matching opponents for you... ]
After a series of mechanical sounds, Shao Ci's eyes lit up, and he realized that he was sitting inside the mecha, and the outside world was the arena. The feeling here is very real, and it is completely no different from reality. Shao Ci touched the inside of the mecha excitedly.
This time the Mecha Contest has already started for several months, and it will be over in just half a month. And most of the players at the top of the points ranking have fans. Every time there are countless people rushing to pay for tickets to watch closely, and those like Pei Shijian are already broadcasting directly outside to promote the game. up.
Generally speaking, those with extremely low points have few people watching the game, and the competition system will match people with similar points, so Shao Ci's opponents should also be those with very few points and ranked bottom.
However, at this time the scene was already full of people, and facing Shao Ci was a very advanced mech, and the surrounding audience continued to cheer.
Shao Ci had a bad idea, looked down to see who his opponent was, and was shocked, "... what the hell?!"
The competition system matched Shao Ci's opponent to a player named in the top 100. His name was Edwin. He was also a well-known local tyrant who relied on spending money to compete. Many weapons cost tens of millions of imperial coins to use. He used it without hesitation, and this Edwin was good-looking, so naturally there were many fans.
Unlike others, Shao Ci knew more about this person. Because this Edwin's true identity is actually the prince's cousin. His family is a super chaebol capable of influencing the business of the entire empire, and his mother is also a descendant of a famous family.
In addition, he is also a good friend of Pei Shijian, and later even betrayed his cousin who was the prince and turned to support Pei Shijian, so that the prince who is the villain boss lost so quickly.
Unexpectedly, he would face such an opponent as soon as he came up, and Shao Ci felt for a moment whether he had been abandoned by the world.
Like the surprised Shao Ci, Edwin and the audience were also shocked when they saw that the enemy was just a salted fish with 0 points and an old-fashioned mecha.
"Is there a bug in this system?"
"Such a person can tell at a glance that he came here just to join in the fun, and he can be shared with Edwin?"
"In that case, I can also participate in the competition, right?!"
"And what kind of strange name is Little Spicy Prince, I think it's ridiculous to say it."
In the eyes of these people, the name Latiao Little Prince is already out of touch to the point of killing Matt.
Edwin, who was sitting in the high-level mecha, was thinking seriously. He has brilliant blond hair and green eyes, and his appearance is quite handsome. Just a slight smile can make countless people intoxicated. It is also because he did not announce his true identity, otherwise There must be more than ten times more fans than now.
"I heard that even if it's the first time to compete, if the system detects that the opponent's mental strength is extremely strong, it will assign an opponent with corresponding strength... Maybe this is the case now."
After thinking this way, Edwin immediately became serious and stared closely at the enemy opposite him.
At this time, the competition hadn't officially started yet. Shao Ci followed the skills he had learned at school in his memory to operate the mecha with difficulty, groping for which button was in which position, and tried to operate it.
From the perspective of the outside audience, it was this old-fashioned mecha that suddenly started to wobble, like someone who was drunk, unable to even take a step, and actually fell to the ground several times, and then Climb up with difficulty.
There was a burst of ridicule from the stands, "Oh my God, is this a mecha beginner? My younger brother in elementary school is better than him."
"Where did this kind of person get the courage to participate in the mech competition? It's ridiculous."
"I'm going to record today's game later and post it on the forum to make everyone laugh."
Even Edwin hesitated a little. Such an opponent is just a rookie. Could it be that the matching system is really wrong
After frantically operating for a long time, Shao Ci suddenly remembered that in class, he was taught to use mental power to directly connect the mech to operate, because this method requires extremely strong mental power, so most people can't do it .
But after a successful connection, it can make people feel that they are the mech, which is much better than manual operation. If injured, the operator himself will also be traumatized, which is also a relatively dangerous method.
[Countdown 10, 9, 8, 7... 4, 3, 2, 1—start! ]
Shao Ci gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and tried to use his mental power to connect to the mecha. In the next instant, a blue ocean seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and he was a tiny spot of light in this ocean.
"This is my spiritual power world?" Shao Ci was stunned.
As mentioned in the original text, the spiritual power of ordinary people is just a spot of light the size of a well, but as a talented male lead, Master Pei's spiritual power world is only the size of a lake.
As the original owner is a cannon fodder, the result of the mental power test is only B... In other words, the ocean in front of him is not the original owner's mental power, but his own mental power.
...
…
After the countdown ended, the barrier in front of the two mechs immediately disappeared.
The voices of the audience also sounded from the stands, "Hurry up and beat this novice who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
"We bought tickets to watch the masters, not to watch such rookies."
"Does a weak chicken still dare to use an old-fashioned mecha, thinking that he is a master of time?"
Edwin, on the other hand, manipulated the mecha and rushed to the enemy quickly. His mecha is the latest model developed so far, and its speed is much faster than ordinary mecha. The power of the weapon is also very powerful, and it can easily cut through opponent's cockpit.
It was already such a time, and the mecha on the opposite side was still motionless. Obviously, the people in the cockpit had given up fighting.
It seems that this time there is really a bug in the system and a matching error, such a person who even gave up the battle is a disgrace to this competition.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Edwin's eyes. He came to participate in the Mech Contest to confront more powerful people, instead of wasting time on this kind of waste.
Edwin directly manipulated the laser knife to stab the opponent's cockpit. Now this enemy is no longer worthy of him to deal with seriously, he just wants to solve it as quickly as possible.
There were countless cheers and screams from the stands, and almost everyone could imagine the moment when the cockpit of this old-fashioned mecha was pierced by a laser knife.
However, Shao Ci's eyes suddenly opened.
At this moment, he seemed to be this mecha... No, his powerful mental power almost covered the entire space of the competition, and everything was in his eyes, even the expressions of the audience in the stands. He saw it clearly.
And Edwin's extremely fast laser knife, in Shao Ci's view, is as slow as slow motion, and can be easily avoided.
Facing the attacking laser knife, Shao Ci dodged without thinking.
The expected puncture of the cockpit did not happen, and Edwin was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that the other party had dodged at an extremely fast speed in the instant just now.
The people in the stands were stunned. Many people thought they were dazzled, and even rubbed their eyes with their hands.
"What happened just now?"
"Is it a coincidence... I couldn't even control the mech well just now, how could I avoid it all of a sudden?"
"It must be a coincidence, even a genius can't learn how to operate it at this moment... Unless he just used mental power to connect, but how is it possible?"
This man accidentally told the truth.
Edwin frowned, and took a laser knife to attack Shao Ci, but just like before, the opponent easily dodged away, and the speed was not even worse than his latest mech.
Generally speaking, either the technology is extremely superb, or only the spiritual power connected to the mecha can achieve this level.
Edwin himself also uses mental power to control the mecha, but he can't completely control the mecha. And among the people he knows, using old-fashioned mechs can do that level...
At that moment, Edwin actually thought of his friend Pei Shijian who he admired very much.
"How is it possible, it's just a waste." Realizing that he had compared this newcomer with Mr. Pei, Edwin suddenly felt a burst of anger. Comparing with such a person is simply an insult to Mr. Pei.
Edwin looked up at the old-fashioned mech on the opposite side, and slashed at the opponent. At the same time, he was about to launch ammunition to directly destroy the limbs of the opponent's mecha. "Isn't it just hiding, this time you will not have the luck before."
However, this time, the opponent did not dodge directly, but took out the tattered laser weapon to block Edwin's attack.
Naturally, the weapons of the old-fashioned mecha cannot be compared with the latest laser knives. They were destroyed in just a few breaths, but in just a few breaths, the old-fashioned mecha had already rushed in front of Edwin, and the mecha directly grabbed it. The arm of Edwin's mech.
At this moment, Edwin obviously had several ways to break free, but his body couldn't move no matter what. The place where he was in contact with the opponent's mech allowed him to clearly feel the opponent's mental power.
What a powerful and terrifying mental power this is. At this moment, Edwin felt as if he was about to drown in the ocean, unable to breathe at all. Obviously his mental power was also an elite S rank, but in front of the other party he was completely Can't resist, can't even struggle, just want to surrender to someone with such a powerful force.
That's right... At this moment, the word surrender appeared in Edwin's mind.
I don't know how long it took Edwin to come back to his senses. At this time, the opponent's weapon had already reached his cockpit. With a little more effort, he could easily stab the cockpit and his body. Put on.
[Number 09364 wins. ]
Along with the mechanical sound of the competition system, there was also the gasping sound of the onlookers. No one thought that such a newcomer who was not favored by everyone could defeat Edwin so easily.
Those who had ridiculed Shao Ci before felt that they could no longer face the situation in front of them. If it wasn't because the competition stipulates that a person can only use one identity, they would even suspect that this little spicy prince was also the trumpet opened at that terrible time.
There were even some people who became Shao Ci's fans on the spot, forgot Edwin long ago, and kept cheering Shao Ci's name beside them.
"Ah... I lost." Edwin realized that he had lost to a rookie with only 0 points in the game.
It would be a great shame to say this out, but Edwin didn't feel the shame at all, instead there was a strange emotion churning in his heart.
"No, with such powerful strength, how could it be a newcomer." Thinking of the feeling of being completely crushed by other people's strength before, the feeling of being unable to resist and almost suffocating, Edwin's fair and handsome face unexpectedly glowed. There was a blush, and the whole person felt extremely excited.
That kind of feeling is what he wants to pursue. Before that, Edwin felt that Pei Shijian was the most qualified, but now...
"That's right, this is the person I've been looking for." Edwin looked at the opponent's mech with glowing eyes, but found that the opponent had already left.
After the victory, Shao Ci quickly withdrew from the competition, completely stupefied.
"What happened just now? Why is my mental power so powerful?" Shao Ci felt that everything just now was like a dream. He defeated his opponent easily like beating a schoolboy.
You must know that it is not an ordinary opponent, it is Edwin, the male character who is also very important in the original text!
Until now, the excitement of victory still lingers in Shao Ci's body, making him unable to calm down all of a sudden, as if he is still in a place where he can observe everything in the blink of an eye and easily kill his opponent. state.
[That's because the host, after you have experienced several worlds, your soul strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people in the process of various time travels. Naturally, there is no problem in participating in this competition. Of course, in reality, the powerful mental power would cause the host's body to collapse directly.]
"...Since it's all like this, can't you give me a better body?!" Shao Ci's fiery heart turned cold in an instant, thinking that he could finally become a strong man and not be tossed by those snake spirits anymore I didn't expect that it was only powerful in the virtual world.
[If it is too strong, it will attract the attention of the will of the world. This competition has also hidden the identity of the host, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble if it is discovered.]
"It's true." Shao Ci thought that he is not the protagonist of Long Aotian, without the aura of the protagonist, if he has such great strength, he may have to eat lunch every minute.
After resting for a while, Shao Ci's heart was full of pride and ambition, "Since I can only be strong in the virtual world, I must not let this opportunity pass by. I will enter the finals this time." Where in the world is there such a thing.
After making the decision, Shao Ci immediately continued to enter the arena.
On the other side, the people who just watched Edwin and Shao Ci's match uploaded the recorded video to the forum.
People in the empire admire the strong, and mecha competitions are often held in various places, and this virtual mech competition is followed by almost all people in the empire. And the forum is visited by countless people every day.
And "The newcomer with zero points actually used the old-fashioned mecha to kill the top 100 powerhouses in seconds. Could it be that the second master of time turned out?" "This post also instantly attracted the attention of countless people. People who originally thought it was false news and dismissed it were shocked when they saw the video.
In just one afternoon, there were countless replies to this post. Many people were shocked and at the same time questioned whether it was because Edwin made a mistake, or there was something dirty between Edwin and that spicy little prince. transaction.
Then these people were sprayed bloody by Edwin's fans. Everyone knows that Edwin is a local tyrant who never lacks money. How could he ruin his reputation because of this kind of thing, let alone collect any money? .
When the people in the post were arguing, a person suddenly posted a video, saying that he just happened to see that spicy little prince when he was watching a mecha competition, and recorded it because he was so shocked Come down and let the people in this post see what the situation is like.
