Under the unknown circumstances, Xia Ruize is not prepared to easily expose his bloodline ability.
He pretended to struggle at first, but of course he couldn't break free. He tried to feel his hands under the bed board along the gap between the belt and the bed as if he had no other choice.
Knowing that the scissors were tied to the bed board on the right side, Xia Ruize explored the left side vigorously first, but after no results, he went to detect the right side, and sure enough, he managed to touch the scissors.
Next, is the process of cutting the belt with scissors without acting skills.
The sound of "gudu" and "gudu" accompanied Xia Ruize's movements, but the corner of the wall had already begun to pour water into the room. The speed of water filling is relatively slow at present, but the sound seems to have the effect of urging people to die. chaos.
What Xia Ruize didn't know was that he wasn't the only wretch wrestling with the belt at this moment. At the same time, there were 99 other people in the same situation as him.
A total of one hundred contestants participating in this "Battle of the Kings" were distributed in one hundred identical rooms, and all heard the rules of the game announced by a strange voice, and all heard the sound of water urging their lives.
The contestants have different ways of coping with the dilemma, and several of them stand out.
A two-meter-tall, muscular man with big muscles roared and charged his whole body, trying to break the belt directly!
The strong man blushed and had a thick neck. Although he failed to break the belt, he bent the metal bed board, enough to see its strength.
The strong man was not satisfied, and continued to exert force, but still failed to break the belt, but broke the buckle at the intersection of the belt tied to the chest. After success, the strong man was inspired to continue to exert force, and finally Get out of bondage.
Another middle-aged man, originally tall and big, seemed to be able to shrink bones. His whole body squirmed for a long time, and his whole body shrank. The belt that was tightly bound suddenly loosened a lot. Clumsily got out from under the binding of the belt.
Of course, if these performances can only be considered ordinary, there are even more amazing ones.
Someone didn't find the scissors tied to the back of the bed board at all, but somehow a knife appeared in his hand, and he began to cut the belt neatly. What's more, a gun appeared in his hand, and he shot directly at the belt.
Such an unexpected scene stunned the organizers and audience watching these contestants. What's going on
All the contestants were strictly inspected and frisked before being released into the arena. How could these people have hidden weapons on their bodies
That's right, these one hundred players participating in the Battle of Kings are not alone in the competition process, because there are countless cameras aimed at them, and outside the arena, there are powerful organizers and countless spectators who are witnessing their performance .
Decades ago, a sudden cataclysm broke out on the planet Rogge, and the human world was captured by mutant creatures. After years of arduous battles, humans won the final victory by relying on the development of science and technology, especially the upgrade of weapons. Suppress the mutated creatures and once again become the overlord of Planet Rogge.
After the crisis of life and death has passed, human beings have developed rapidly. Relying on the continuous development of science and technology, ordinary people can live easily, and the upper class dignitaries can enjoy prosperity and wealth in peace.
Over time, some human beings at the top of the pyramid felt that life was too boring and began to pursue excitement, and "Black Sai" was born in response to the situation.
The so-called "black competition" is an underground competition that is not allowed and recognized by the federal government. The characteristics of this type of competition are very bloody and exciting, so as to attract the attention of thrill seekers.
"Battle of Kings" is a typical black game, and it is the largest black game with the highest ratings.
The Battle of the Kings is held every six months, and each session will gather 100 contestants. The organizers will harvest wealth by setting up bets based on the performance of the contestants.
Therefore, in the unknown of the contestants, there are countless cameras tracking their performance, and a large number of spectators comment on them.
Today's battle of the kings is destined to be interesting, because among the 100 contestants on the scene, there are some testers from the endless world. Those few who brazenly took out their weapons directly from the space were precisely this group.
However, their unusually reckless behavior has already made the organizers of the background surveillance keep an eye on them.
The scissors are not very sharp, but the belt is tough enough. After grinding for a long time, Xia Ruize finally broke the belt around his neck, and immediately felt that his breathing became much easier. Next, he cut off the belt on his chest, then tilted his body and twitched , pulled from the remaining three straps.
As early as backtracking in space, he noticed that there was a printing on the hidden place on the back of the belt. After getting out of trouble, Xia Ruize pretended to discover the secret on the belt by accident, and firmly memorized the five letters printed on the back of the five belts.
Xia Ruize's escape performance was too ordinary, which was the correct escape method designed by the organizer, so his ordinary performance did not attract attention. Except for a few viewers who paid attention to appearance, most of the audience who pursued excitement focused their attention on those who performed better. On a strong player.
Xia Ruize, who knew nothing about it, continued his performance cautiously.
He walked back and forth in the closed room, looking for clues seemingly aimlessly, but he was actually using the ability of spatial backtracking to form a three-dimensional view of the entire room in his mind, or a perspective version without privacy.
For example, the locked refrigerator is full of ice bricks, and one of the ice bricks is wrapped with a code.
The closet door was locked because there was a piece of clothing in the same color as the bed sheet, and there was a letter containing a coded message in the pocket.
On the bedside table is a combination box containing feathers...
After all the key points were discovered, Xia Ruize had deduced the correct way to open the door in his mind. But he still pretended not to know anything, and deciphered it step by step according to the way the people behind him wanted to see.
For example, the letters on the back of the five belts that bind him can open the combination lock on the refrigerator door.
After opening the refrigerator, it was filled with ice bricks. Pushing all the ice bricks to the ground, Xia Ruize pretended to search but couldn't find any clues, so he threw all the ice bricks on the wall and smashed them to pieces. Then, one of the ice bricks cracked, revealing something different inside—a drawing of a toddler's scribbles inside.
Of course, the real meaning of this graffiti is the respective quantities of the four kinds of fruits painted on it, which add up to just make up a four-digit digital code, which can open the coded lock on the wardrobe door.
After the closet door was opened, all kinds of clothes were hung inside. Xia Ruize tasted the sweetness of violence, and immediately began to tear the clothes with his hands. Every piece of clothing was lifted and shaken vigorously, and even the inner lining of the clothes was torn, violently looking for clues.
Sure enough, he took out a piece of letter paper in the pocket of one of the white clothes, on which were written three inexplicable love poems, the first word of each love poem, when combined, was the password to open the lockbox in the bedside table.
Logically, the safe in the bedside table was also opened, and there was a white and soft feather inside.
After this series of performances, the water level in the closed room had already submerged Xia Ruize's calf, and he was not going to continue the performance. After picking up the feather representing the clue, he turned his eyes decisively to the only item in the room that contained feather material—the original feather. pillows on the bed.
After the pillow was violently torn, a key fell out of it, which was the key to open the closed door of the room.
Xia Ruize picked up the key and waded towards the door of the room. A strong sarcasm flashed in his eyes. The person who designed this level is really bad. He put the final pass key in the pillow that was closest to the contestants at the beginning, making the whole search process seem like a dream. joke.
The game is called "Clash of Kings," and there must have been other contestants.
If there is a contestant who can't connect the clues smoothly, is driven crazy by the rising water level, vents and destroys all the facilities in the room under the pressure of death, but gets a key to pass the level from the broken pillow, I am afraid that he will experience the instant From being on the verge of desperation to the feeling of being in the dark, I have to say that the scene must have a very dramatic effect.
Xia Ruize's guess was right, the contestants in each room were showing their skills.
Others don't have Xia Ruize's bloodline ability, their mental power can ignore obstacles and obstacles, and they can be called omniscient about the area around them. They obtained all the clues easily and successfully found the key to open the door.
From fumbling for the scissors to opening the door with the key, Xia Ruize spent a total of more than 20 minutes, of which six minutes were spent getting out of the bound state, four minutes were spent exploring the entire room, and the rest of the time was all on purpose. time for the show.
Leaving aside the contestants who were stuck in the first step and couldn't even break free from their belts, except for Xia Ruize, most of the contestants tried to attack the closed door immediately after they were unbound.
This time, someone even had a powerful thermal weapon in their hands, and began to unleash bullets at the door.
Seeing such a scene, the director of the organizer who monitored the overall situation was furious and cursed:
"Check it out for me! How on earth did those bastards bring such a big weapon into the arena! Let me beat them to death! All the bastards who break the rules must die!"
Compared with those inexplicable players who have more weapons in their hands, who are obviously prepared to break the rules and affect the ratings, Xia Ruize's "regular" and "obedient" players who pass the level according to the rules are very comfortable.
So, when Xia Ruize successfully opened the door, the floor of the room suddenly opened the drain, and the accumulated water quickly flowed away. At the same time, the eerie voice sounded again:
"Congratulations on becoming the second warrior to pass the first level. The remaining time of the first level will be your rest time. As a reward for the second place, we have prepared a rich gift for you. I hope there will be a next communication opportunity, hee hee hee..."
Xia Ruize was a little surprised. He had already procrastinated in his performance, but he turned out to be the second person to walk out of the room? Are the contestants too good or too few contestants
What Xia Ruize didn't know was that the first contestant who successfully escaped from the room, after trying his best to escape from being bound, immediately tore up the pillow as if venting his anger, and easily obtained the key by hitting it crookedly, omitting all the intermediate links. Xia Ruize walked out of the room in three minutes and successfully cleared the level.
In fact, not only Xia Ruize was surprised by his own results, but also the organizers and audience.
In their view, this contestant looked too gentle and harmless, except for a little grumpy temper, he didn't show much strength, but he passed the level quickly.
Such a weak white-faced boy, I am afraid that he is happy to have successfully passed the first level. He really wants to see the picture of him being torn to pieces by mutant creatures in the terrifying second level. Just thinking about it makes people's blood boil.
In fact, when Xia Ruize successfully found the love letter in his clothes, the director of the organizer noticed this young contestant who was not showing his face. The random movements all hit the point.
Confused for a long time, the director had no choice but to attribute Xia Ruize's success to his good luck, always bumping into the right path randomly.
So, without Xia Ruize's knowledge, he was labeled as "good luck" again, and the screen tracking his performance was adjusted to the position recommended by the organizer to focus on, so that more audiences can see his performance .
Although Xia Ruize didn't know that he was being treated like a monkey, he could easily guess that someone had worked so hard to design such a setup, and he would definitely be happy to watch the performance of the poor little trapped in it, otherwise wouldn't it be no fun
The eerie voice that appeared in time also confirmed Xia Ruize's conjecture that someone was indeed paying attention to him all the time, so he was even less prepared to easily expose his full abilities. Of course, the more cards he had, the better.
After the door of the first level room is opened, there is a smaller room outside. What attracts the eye is that various weapons and equipment are displayed on the walls of this room.
And in the middle of the room, there is a box wrapped in a silk ribbon, which is probably the so-called "gift".
Xia Ruize carefully opened the box, and there was a booklet inside. The name of the booklet was "A Brief Analysis of Rogge Mutated Creatures". When he opened it, he briefly introduced dozens of mutated animals and more than ten kinds of mutated plants, as well as A brief introduction to Rogge civilization.
Realizing that this is an important channel to understand the world background of this mission, Xia Ruize looked through it carefully. Not to mention, he suspects that the mutant creatures introduced in it are likely to appear in the next level, and it is always good to know more about important information related to his own life in advance.
After flipping through it, and then flipping through it again, most of the contents of the pamphlet came to mind. In addition to having a superficial understanding of Rogge civilization, Xia Ruize also had a general understanding of the weapons and equipment around him.
To put it simply, the Rogge civilization is about a hundred years ahead of the Blue Star civilization Xia Ruize lives in in terms of technology, especially weapons, but it is a hundred years behind in terms of social culture and other aspects.
The weapons in this room are highly targeted weapons developed by humans on Rogge during their long-term confrontation with mutant creatures. Of course, they are all the most common versions.
Based on his own understanding and the simple tips provided by the main god, Xia Ruize finally chose a set of full-body protective armor, a laser gun, a high-energy vibration sword, a beam bow, and three magnetic interference bombs.
Full-body protective armor is a set of full-body armor that only has a connection gap at the neck. The part that protects the body can provide exoskeleton support for the user, and can provide bonuses in terms of strength, speed, etc. based on the user's original foundation. In critical moments, the user can turn on the protective shield of the armor to resist damage.
Putting on the whole set of armor and buckling down the protective helmet, Xia Ruize was protected from head to toe, turning into a giant over two meters high and over one meter wide. He moved his fingers, and the metal fingers of the armor wrapped around his hands also moved flexibly. moved.
The high-energy vibrating sword is pinned to the waist, the light beam is bowed behind the back, the magnetic interference bomb is loaded into the storage space of the armor, and finally the laser gun more than one meter long is lifted. Xia Ruizejing waits for the second level to start.
Almost as soon as Xia Ruize was getting ready, an eerie voice sounded in the room:
"What a wonderful performance! A total of eighty-nine warriors passed the first level and entered the second level - the maze. Remember to pass the maze within three hours, otherwise you will encounter more and more surprises. An extra reminder, you guys The energy of the weapons you get is limited, remember to collect energy boxes, hee hee hee... "
The routine ended with the underwhelming giggles, from which Xia Ruize heard a lot of malice.
Hearing the reminder, he observed his new equipment. Sure enough, whether it was armor or a laser gun, there was an interface displaying the remaining energy in a conspicuous position, but he searched the entire small room, except for other weapons of various shapes. , can't find a device that can provide energy.
Looking at the door leading to the second level that had opened on its own, Xia Ruize stepped out while clenching the weapon in his hand.
At this time, the organizer is busy editing the videos of the contestants who failed and died in the first level into a special broadcast, bringing exciting fun to the bored audience.
The eleven contestants who failed all died of suffocation in the end. Among them, two contestants were unable to break free from the shackles of the belt from the beginning to the end, so that the hour was not up yet, because the water level in the room was higher than the body. And out early.
The other nine broke free from their belts, but they were helpless in the face of the various combination locks in the room. Seeing the expressions of panic on their faces as the water in the room increased, they hurriedly struggled to survive, and finally Because the entire room was suffocated to death without any gaps, the audience became excited and threw out rewards one after another.
The director watched the ratings rise all the way and reached the first small climax since the program started, so he was naturally very satisfied.
Of course, compared to rewards, the real method of earning money for the show is the various bets, such as betting on which player will become the king in the end, which player will die miserably in the second round, etc. Many viewers are interested.
Of course, Xia Ruize was also the object of the bet, and even because of his excellent performance in the first level, the organizer opened a new betting event for him, betting on whether he could successfully pass the second level.
The audience of Rogge star obviously didn't like Xia Ruize, who looked thin and frail. He didn't seem to know how to use weapons, and he was not proficient in wearing protective armor. There are far more spectators who bet on his fiasco in the second level than those who bet on his smooth pass.
Only Xia Ruize knew that he was indeed a mental worker before, but now
The passage in the maze is only two meters wide, which is very narrow for Xia Ruize, who is wearing a protective armor and has a width of one meter. The space for movement is small, but this environment is also more convenient for him to explore the surrounding situation. For example, is there another passage separated by a wall? A dead end.
After walking through the empty and narrow passage for tens of meters, a wide circular transit area connected with passages in eight directions appeared in front of it. At the same time, there appeared an enlarged version of a giant lizard!
The two-meter-high and three-meter-long giant lizard lay quietly in the center of the circular transit area, calmly waiting for the prey to come to the door.
Xia Ruize, who has read the brief introduction, knows that the most terrifying weapon on this giant lizard is actually their tongue, which can shoot the tongue back at super high speed, which is a nightmare for all creatures that enter its hunting range.
After walking lightly to the position close to the entrance of the passage, Xia Ruize did not rush forward, but pressed down and waited quietly. It was not because he was afraid of giant lizards, but because there were other contestants in the passage next to him. Xia Ruize wanted to see other contestants. player performance.
After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the contestants in the side passage couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed out first. With the support of the protective armor, they moved very quickly, and seemed to want to rush directly to the opposite passage.
Of course, the giant lizard would not let go of the food it had waited so hard for. Its cold eyes were full of violence and greed, and it stared at the rushing contestant. Its huge mouth was slightly opened, and its tongue had already shot out.
Xia Ruize, who was watching this scene with mental power, was a little startled. The giant lizard's tongue attacked so fast that not only the naked eye could not catch its trajectory, but even the mental power could hardly catch it. It seems that if you can't enter its attack range and face the tongue head-on, it's best to kill it from a distance.
Fortunately, the contestant who was being targeted by the giant lizard was prepared in advance. While running forward, he pressed the trigger of the laser gun in his hand backwards, and a ball of blue-purple electricity shot out, directly facing the oncoming tongue. The place very close to the players exploded completely.
The most powerful attacking weapon of the giant lizard was damaged, and while quickly withdrawing the remaining half of its tongue, it rushed towards the contestant angrily, and the contestant, who was deflected by the aftermath of the explosion, quickly adjusted his body to deal with the monster.
Not knowing that the contestant attacked the giant lizard's tongue purely by luck, Xia Ruize, who thought that the other party could really capture the trajectory of the tongue, was shocked. He had a higher evaluation of the fighting power of the indigenous people in the mission world, and silently decided to continue. Can't wave.
However, Xia Ruize soon realized that he was wrong.
The contestant who was being chased by the giant lizard stood still and didn't even look at the chasing monster. He buried his head and fled into another passage. Taking advantage of the gap when he attracted the attention of the giant lizard, he rushed out from another passage next to him. A contestant seized the time and changed a channel and disappeared quickly.
Xia Ruize:? ?
It turns out that the investigation of this level is not to find a way to solve the "surprise" that blocks the way, but to do everything possible to avoid it
Xia Ruize, who was ready for a battle with the giant lizard, felt the difficulty of the official task, and he failed to understand the requirements of the task correctly.
Before Xia Ruize could reflect on the smoothness of the novice task, which made him a little bit adrift, it shouldn't have happened, the scene changed again.
The fleeing contestant dodged to avoid the giant lizard that jumped in front of him. Unable to dodge, he could only shoot at the giant lizard. The electric ball blasted a huge hole between the giant lizard's legs, causing a huge blow. It affected its speed of action, so it failed to launch the third wave of attacks in time, causing the contestants who caught the opportunity to turn around and run away, and the direction of running was exactly the passage where Xia Ruize was in!
Seeing that he was dragged into the battle, Xia Ruize stopped dodging and shot at the other front leg of the giant lizard behind the contestant, crippling the lizard's two legs, so he didn't have to worry about its pursuit.
But an accident happened. At the same time, the contestant who rushed towards Xia Ruize was also shot in the waist, and a violent explosion occurred. Although he was wearing protective armor, he did not activate the protective shield in time. Therefore, under one blow, the inside of the armor The user fainted from the impact of the explosion and fell heavily to the ground, life and death unknown.
Xia Ruize froze in place immediately. If it wasn't for the fact that the previous shot was shot under the influence of blood talent bow and arrow specialization and precise aiming skills, and the other front leg of the giant lizard was indeed blown off, he would have doubted that he shot it Attacked the rushing contestants.
Although the talent bow and arrow specialization of the brilliant elf bloodline is called "bow and arrow", its specific function is to improve the accuracy and attack power of long-range weapons. Laser guns count as ranged weapons and are also affected by this talent.
Not to mention the influence of precise aiming skills and various exercises, if he really aimed at the wrong target, Xia Ruize would be ashamed to death.
Obviously not.
The real situation is that the contestant who took the opportunity to change the channel did not go far away, but seized the opportunity to attack the contestant who fled in embarrassment under the pursuit of the giant lizard.
The other party obviously didn't expect that there was a hidden third party like Xia Ruize attacking the giant lizard at the same time.
Immediately, apart from the sound of the giant lizard struggling, there was no human movement in the transit area.
After two minutes of silence, there was the sound of people walking in the passage. Xia Ruize "saw" that the sneak attacker who killed the contestant finally shot a shot to end the life of the giant lizard, and then cautiously directed towards the passage where Xia Ruize was. He approached slowly with his gun raised.
Xia Ruize also raised his gun and opened his protective shield. Soon, the two surviving contestants officially faced each other, raising their guns to fight each other.
Seeing the brown hair and green eyes in the opponent's protective helmet, Xia Ruize's back felt cold, and his hairs stood on end. It was the passive ability of malicious perception that was crazily warning, and the opposite person contained great malice towards him.
The two sides confronted each other for a while. Seeing that Xia Ruize did not move, the other side pointed the muzzle of the laser gun at Xia Ruize, backed up slowly, and reached out to take out two black boxes from the protective armor on the fallen contestants and the head of the giant lizard. .
After doing all this, the other party backed away from Xia Ruize's sight, chose another passage to get in, and soon disappeared.
So far, only Xia Ruize is left in the transit area.
Xia Ruize stabilized his emotions. Knowing that the three passages should be the entrances for the three contestants, one passage has been explored and is likely to be a dead end, and the other passage has dangerous elements entering. He chose the best passage among the remaining three passages. The one on the right walked around the mess on the ground.
