Abe's words shattered the last remaining illusion of No. 2.
So everything that happens in this world, all her good actions towards him, are just her disguise, right? What he felt before was correct. She was not confused by this virtual/real/world at all. She had always made a clear distinction.
Unlike him, who was fooled around.
No. 2's eyes were bloodshot and red. He wanted to walk to the glass corridor, wanted to rush to her side and restrain her.
He couldn't let her win, couldn't let her leave like this!
But his natural fear of heights made his legs feel like they were filled with lead, and his feet were nailed to the spot. The more he looked at him, the harder it was for his feet to move forward.
Innate psychological barriers are not something he can overcome immediately if he wants to.
Even though he could no longer see the sky or the restaurant, and everything around him became a blur, and she was the only one left, she could not move him forward.
But he is not willing to give in, he is not willing to give in -
Suddenly, he seemed to see the person who had easily thrown him away getting a little closer to him. There seemed to be her sighing in my ears, and her figure was slowly approaching...
No. 2 stared at her as she walked back.
It was like bringing that neon color into his pale, trembling world again.
Almost as soon as she crossed the line, he grabbed her convulsively with his fingers, holding her tightly in his arms with a force that almost broke her waist, like a person suffocating after falling into the water grasping the floating dead wood. His face was buried in the crook of her neck, and his knuckled hands tremblingly grasped her wrist.
"What the hell, what the hell..." The curse words blocked his throat, and hot tears flowed out of him unknowingly.
In fact, it was still too late, he had already caught her, and if he said those four words again, he would win.
But that's why he didn't understand. The emotions in his body were overwhelming, and he gritted his teeth: "How dare you-"
Suddenly, he felt her hand gently touching his bristle-like hair.
Just such a movement was enough to remove all the armor he had held up. All the hatred and thoughts of crazy revenge on her just a moment ago disappeared in an instant.
He heard her say; "Forget it."
The development was completely beyond expectations, causing everyone in the trial space to remain silent when the two came back.
The way they looked at Abe had completely changed.
To be honest, because there are no restrictions on the questions, it makes their competition free and loose. Everyone's energy is invested in one round, trying to defeat the opponent in one go. No one thought of "foreshadowing".
Think about it carefully, when No. 5 entered the virtual world for the first time, he had already started planning, right
A bad start was remarkable, but she didn't expect that it was just the beginning of her plan.
It's just an audition competition...
No. 3 came with a trying mentality. Although the competition process was inevitably more serious, having people like Abe play with people's hearts to such an extent still made her tremble unconsciously.
No. 2 failed in the final mission and was eliminated. His 5 points were naturally deducted to Abe.
She looked at No. 2, "If she treats you like that, why don't you..."
No. 2 gave her a cold look, "If you have this time to talk nonsense, why not consider going to another planet to compete again."
"Can we go to other planets to compete?"
"Yes. There is no limit on the number of registrations for titr. There is a time difference between competitions between planets. As long as you have money to travel to the planets." No. 1 suddenly confirmed. He recovered from the tremor caused by Abe, looked at No. 4, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
As expected, No. 4 will not be able to advance.
Only now did he realize that No. 5 wanted to kill everyone and take away all the points. And No. 4 was her fattened fish. She allowed No. 4 to score points at will, perhaps just because No. 4 was the weakest among them. The score is in her hand, just like putting money in a bank. After they are all out, No. 5 can take it out as she wants.
In fact, he didn't lie to Abe in the first place. He did have inside information. The auditions may seem to be hosted by the system, but in fact there are monitors behind the scenes. If there are contestants who stand out among them, they will definitely attract the attention of the backstage monitors, and they are likely to get "pass-through qualifications" and skip the next two steps. After the round of auditions, you will directly advance to the official competition.
But even if he knew this information, the schedule under this rule is too variable and there would be no use for him.
So where did she come from
The monitors at titr's backstage lived up to expectations and discovered this cadenza performance.
From the first encounter in the prison to the rupture in the Rose Gallery, the person in charge watched intently. At the end, his frown finally relaxed. He didn't even notice it, and he was even sweating on his back.
"How about it!" The editor looked very excited, "If we launch this, we will ensure that the online rate of the first phase of the official competition will blow up the StarNet server!"
"Well, except for the last paragraph, where the scene of the two hugging was deleted and stopped at 'This is a game.'"
The editor was stunned for a moment, "Then..."
Will No. 5 be scolded to death
"Here's the trailer."
The emotions of the audience are like this, and negative emotions make it easier for them to pay attention to this competition.
The editor over there was convinced by the ruthless person in charge and had to follow the instructions.
Here, the person in charge found the senior monitor and said, "Pay more attention to this player. If necessary in the following matches, help her and don't let her be eliminated easily."
Monitor: "What do you mean?"
"She has potential, maybe she can go to Capital Star."
There are only two players in the Changji Star who have obtained all the points in the trial space where they are. One of them, Southern Cross Rose, is a new time-travel anchor. She has a certain reputation and can be said to be an insider. She'll take all the points, maybe someone revealed the house rules.
As for this player named Abe——
"Why would you want to get all the points?"
In the interstellar network, in a certain coffee shop, a reporter sent by titr company asked Aibei.
The small spoon in Abe's hand stirred the coffee cup, "The rules allow it."
"What?" The reporter didn't follow her train of thought.
"The rules allow those who are eligible to advance to continue playing, which means there are benefits to continuing to play."
It is of course useless to just continue playing. If those who were originally qualified to advance lose points in subsequent games, their qualifications will of course be cancelled.
So the underlying rule is to get more points, or even all points.
From the beginning, she never thought about letting a second person advance in the trial space where she was.
Of course, she is not familiar with this world full of rules after all, so failure is not impossible. It is precisely because she is not familiar with it that she tries to understand the rules completely.
Wouldn’t this save a lot of trouble now
Shortly after the audition, she received a "pass-through card" that allowed her to directly advance to the official competition. It was also because of this card that reporters came to conduct a special interview with her.
There were many questions during the interview, but Abe didn't show any impatience during the process. She sat there obediently, and even the reporter had some misconceptions. The handsome boy in the video she had watched was really the one in front of her. Is it played by people
She couldn't help but ask an off-script question: "In the end, you briefly gave up the mission and hugged Contestant No. 2 because you were soft-hearted?"
Softhearted
The snow-white milk cat pattern in the coffee cup was messed up by her, as if it was making faces at her. Abe looked at it and bent his eyes.
Of course, no.
I like you.
What a nice sentence, full of all the passion and sincerity of a young man, but how could he dare to hold out his heart again and let her trample on it when he had just experienced being abandoned.
How dare he say that.
Just because she doesn't want to cause trouble and make an enemy doesn't mean she has to give up points. Such scenes and tasks were carefully designed by her for him.
Now, everything is just right.
Long Day Star, in a certain interstellar hotel.
The boy came out of the space capsule, went into the bathroom and took a shower, flushing away all the nutrient solution. When he just came out of the bathroom, there was a "beep" sound, and within the permissions allowed by his settings, a holographic projection was projected in front of the dark patterned wall.
"Senzai, how are you? Did the competition go well?!"
“…”
The man called Senzi wiped his hair indifferently and ignored him.
"Didn't make it? Didn't make it?!" The person opposite covered his heart in an exaggerated manner and laughed loudly, "Thank you for changing the image of StarNet and going to a small planet where birds don't shit to compete. It's not easy. He was discovered by his family and managed to reach the semi-finals. But he didn’t make it to the first round?!"
"You can go to other planets to participate."
"Goodbye, I don't think you're having a good time. Hey, I found a big-bodied lady here. I guarantee she's your favorite type." The person over there clicked a photo on the virtual screen. .
Lin Sen's eyes darkened. He has a pair of forest-like eyes, with clear tea-green eyes and extremely black pupils. When they light up, they look like the mottled forest shadows cast by light, and when they darken, they look like the deep, dark jungle.
"I don't like it anymore."
The man was surprised, "... No way, you have liked this model for more than ten years, and suddenly it changed?"
"no?"
"Okay, tell me what you like now, and I'll help you look for it."
After his friend finished speaking, Lin Sen's mind suddenly recalled a face with gray hair and gray eyes. The tip of his heart suddenly throbbed with pain, but he gave up on himself and said: "Small-breasted lolita."
"ha?!"
Abbey, a small-breasted lolita, used the meager reward she received from the audition to temporarily solve the problem of food and accommodation. A cheap underground hotel, with moldy bed sheets and quilts, and nutrient solution bag mouths chewed by mice.
There are not many rewards for passing the auditions. After all, in order to select more players, the titr company has not set a registration threshold.
If it weren't for the special nature of her customs clearance, she wouldn't even be able to get this funding if she applied to her superiors through interviews with reporters.
The interviewer kindly gave her some money.
This situation should be resolved after the official game. After all, there is a rule in the official game that part of the audience's reward amount is given to the players.
She can try to get more rewards during the game.
After two rounds of auditions, Abe received the notice of the competition. In a dirty hotel room, he logged into the Star Network again and participated in the first official competition in the Changzhou Star region. The competition venue has changed from a small trial space to a huge stadium.
In the center of the huge and luxurious hall, which is arc-shaped like a bird's nest, there are a thousand identical light pillars flashing, and a player stands in each light pillar.
Abe is one of them.
The venue was filled with cheers like waves and the lights were dazzling. Abe stood there as if he was in the middle of the world.
People who come from the darkness find it difficult to adapt to such attention.
The real time travel live broadcast competition has finally begun.
