About 20 minutes later, the exhausted Ray returned to the platform.
"Very good~ It lasted 23 minutes and the total damage caused was grade B. You have passed the test~"
Flying in front of the floating ray, 230 did not hide the appreciation in his words.
"A result like this can already be ranked on the list∽"
"The list? Is it the list of geniuses? How many are there?"
After looking at Bai Zhi and the others with a little pride, Piaoyu asked with some expectancy.
"It's not a genius list, it's a comprehensive evaluation list, but it has no practical significance and only has reference value~"
Floating around the floating ray, 230 explained in a cheerful tone.
"In the comprehensive evaluation list, you achieved a good result of 233rd place~ This result is quite good~"
Floating Ray: "..."
"Okay, let me go next."
Slightly speechless, Bai Zhi glanced at the slowed-down clockwork behind the opponent's back, and then spoke to 230.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance next~"
Flying to Bai Zhi's side, 230 was very attentive.
... But soon, 230 fell silent again.
Looking at someone who had returned to the platform, after a long silence, 230 spoke dryly.
"Congratulations. The test robot lasted for one second. The total damage you caused was rated SSS. You passed the test. Let us observe a moment of silence for the test robot..."
Everyone: "..."
- Because it was annoying for the thing to fly around, Bai Zhi directly chose to use the [Pure White Rubik's Cube] to kill the thing.
It seemed that they did not expect that the test robot would be killed directly, so for the next test on Mountainside Man Li and Phalaenopsis, Bai Zhi and the others had to wait in place for a while.
…and then the test robot failed again.
Seeing the man on the mountainside, Li, who forcibly dismantled the test robot into pieces and then put on the monk's robes again and returned to the platform, 230's tone this time became aggrieved.
"Congratulations. The test robot lasted ten seconds. The total damage you caused was rated SSS. You passed the test. Let us observe silence for the test robot again..."
On the side, Floating Ray turned its head silently.
And while Phalaenopsis was anxiously waiting for her own test, 230 brought good news.
"Congratulations, you have passed the test of strength. You have obtained the qualification to participate in the competition for the final secret treasure."
"Uh, but I haven't..."
"Next, you will officially enter the "Machine City", and 230 will continue to serve as your tour guide. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask 230~"
230 just pretended that he didn’t hear Phalaenopsis’ words.
"As the finalists who have performed well in the qualifying round, you will enjoy many privileges in the "Machine City". Next, please let us go to the "Machine City". I hope everyone can have a good time~"
- Phalaenopsis silently closed its mouth.
Perhaps because of the preferential treatment given to outstanding shortlisted contestants, the elevator that 230 took them to this time was no longer the shabby one with only a thin metal plate before, but was replaced by a rather luxurious presidential suite elevator.
Sofas, TVs, massage chairs, drinks, wine... everything is available.
Not only that, in this elevator box, they can not only watch other people’s qualifying exams for free, but they can even reward anchors like 230 who are tour guides...
"...So you have been live streaming this just now?"
Pointing to the densely packed thousands of live broadcast rooms displayed on the screen in front of him, Bai Zhi asked 230 with a strange look on his face.
"Ah, that's right. I originally wanted to earn more live broadcast salary."
Completely losing his previous vitality, as if he had taken off his disguise, 230 fell on the sofa with a weak look on his face.
"In this kind of qualification assessment for newcomers, basically no one will waste money to reward us, so we can only live for a while and get the minimum living allowance. In order to make the live broadcast more distinctive, I even made a special performance before I paid so much, but in the end I didn’t attract many viewers, my guaranteed salary was gone, and I also lost so much personal money... "
As if something had been touched, 230 became more and more sad the more he spoke.
"Look, is it easy for a new anchor like 230? 230 works hard every day. It's hard to save a little money and just want to buy a good peripheral for yourself. But before the money is saved, you guys just 230 All my private money has been compensated. You big bad guys, big bad guys, wuwuwu, 230 hates you..."
230：o(╥﹏╥)o
Bai Zhi: "..."
Mountainside man Li: "..."
Volume 2 The Miracle of Improbable Probability: Chapter 1630 Chapter 704 Gathering of Heroes (7k)
Seeing 230 lying on the sofa in front of them, complaining and crying quite sadly, Bai Zhi and Li Shanbian couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of guilt in their hearts.
...Why do you feel that the other person is pitiful
In this way, it was not until a long time later that Bai Zhi learned the whole story from 230's mouth.
As a tour guide and anchor, 230 comes with a commission on grade points.
The commission here mainly comes from the length of the live broadcast and the rewards from the viewers.
But obviously, in this qualification stage, it is basically impossible for viewers to reward the anchors, so their source of income is only the duration of the live broadcast.
It is precisely because of this that 230 felt very bitter about Bai Zhi and the others' previous speedrun situation, but had nowhere to say anything.
In fact, if it was just like this, then it would be fine. At best, they would just get less salary. But the problem is that in the subsequent tests, Bai Zhi and the others smashed two test robots in succession, and one of them was more Not even a speck of ash is left, resulting in a significant increase in testing costs.
... And the maintenance cost of these test robots is 230 paid by itself.
Originally, I happily signed up to be a tour guide to earn extra money, but after one job, I didn’t earn any extra money. Instead, I lost a lot of my personal money. 230 was able to hold on until the next broadcast. It's already pretty good.
"..."
After listening to 230 sobbingly explain the cause and effect, Bai Zhi and the others collectively fell into silence.
This "Machine City" seems a little different from what they imagined...
"You big bad guys, big bad guys, that's 230 yuan of private money that you saved for a long time, and now you've lost it all, wuwuwu..."
On the sofa, 230 was still crying.
230 felt sad when he thought that all the personal money he had worked so hard to save was turned into compensation. The sadness in his heart was really unbearable.
"Originally, as long as I saved a little more, the 230 could be replaced with a better set of peripherals, but now they are all gone. In the future, the 230 will even have to sleep in a trash can, and maybe even be sent to a scrap factory.·??`( >▂
"Okay, don't cry. I'll pay you in the worst case."
Bai Zhi interrupted 230's words as he reached for his ears in a speechless manner.
"What if we finally win the final victory and the entire city is under my control? Then I will install as many peripherals for you as you want. Is that okay?"
"… real?"
230 raised his head and looked at him with (?_?) such an expression.
"When the time comes, will you really replace the 230 with a lot of new, high-quality peripherals?"
"Of course, I am very trustworthy."
Seeing that the other party finally stopped crying, Bai Zhi breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.
"As long as I become the city lord, arranging these things is just a matter of words."
"Well... you are very strong, maybe you can actually win the final victory... Thank you very much! You are good people!!"
After thinking very seriously for a period of time, 230's mood suddenly improved, and he happily jumped off the sofa again,????>
"Good man, when the time comes, I want the 230 to have the best performance and the most beautiful appearance..."
"Okay, we'll talk about this kind of thing later. You should introduce our rights and benefits to us now, right?"
Bai Zhi lifted the other party up helplessly, and pointed at the screen in front of him.
"For example, what is the amount of money for a reward like this?"
"Money is money, it is the common currency in the "Machine City"~"
Regaining the cheerful tone before, 230 explained diligently.
"Each shortlisted contestant will receive a card that is bound to himself in the "Machine City". Each person's card initially contains 1,000 mechanical coins~"
"What about the card?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and let go of his hand.
"When the elevator arrives in the city, the card will be sent to you automatically~"
Flying into the air again, 230 answered cheerfully.
"Also~ Because you performed well in the finals, your initial amount will be increased by 20%, which is a full 200 points of mechanical coins~"
"How much can you get from one live broadcast?"
Suddenly, Li, the mountainside man, asked such a question.
"Exactly 50 points!!"
Head held high, 230 looked proud.
Mountainside man Li: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Because there was still some time before the elevator floated to the ground, and the elevator was really comfortable, Bai Zhi and the others sat in front of the screen and browsed the live broadcast room.
There are nearly a thousand live broadcast rooms, and the number is still increasing. It still has something to look at.
After browsing hundreds of live broadcast rooms, Bai Zhi unexpectedly discovered a few acquaintances in a certain live broadcast room.
"Nura? I know this, a very famous player in Japan who is good at using tachi, called [Rurouni? Nura]."
The live broadcast scene now displayed on the screen, the mountainside man Li Sha, who came from the side, nodded seriously.
"From this point of view, this should be a team sent by the Japanese side. The ingredients seem to be quite mixed. Miko, JK, Drifter, Ninja... Good guy, all the Japanese elements are present."
"Yeah, indeed."
Looking at a familiar red and white witch on the screen who was conducting the second test, Bai Zhi nodded in agreement.
-He knows all four people here.
It's just a pity that each of the four acquaintances here has more or less mechanical characteristics.
It seemed that he got inspiration from Bai Zhi. After turning his head again, Li from the mountainside also opened the live broadcast room to find an acquaintance.
After all, in the current situation, having one more acquaintance can give you more confidence.
Just when he was queuing up outside, he could see how many people were queuing up outside this mechanical city. Not only were all forces mixed together, but also heavyweights such as the filthy beasts of mountains and seas were mixed in.
They can all send information to the outside through the demon refining pot or skills. There is no reason why other forces cannot send messages.
And when the information about this mechanical city is really fully passed on, Li Shanbian has no doubt that this city will attract more heavyweights, maybe an immortal or a god or Buddha will come directly by then. Come over to compete or something...
There is no other way. As long as you win the final victory, you can completely gain control of this "Mechanical City". The attraction brought by this city is really too great.
Facing those old monsters, only by uniting can the players have the slightest chance of winning the final victory.
And if his guess about the origin of this machinery factory is true, maybe even a pure world like the "Buddhist Kingdom" will come over and get involved...
There is no doubt that no matter what happens next, this unabashed mechanical city located in the wilderness will become the center of the storm.
Being prepared for a rainy day is very necessary in this situation.
Not to mention, after browsing nearly five hundred live broadcast rooms, Li Shanbian finally found someone he knew well.
[Snake of Mercury? Ouroboros], the long silver-white hair is still very recognizable, and he can be recognized at a glance, but he does not recognize several other members of the opponent's team.
"... It's not bad, it's not without gain."
He curled his lips, and after writing down the number of Ouroboros' team, the mountainside man Li turned off the live broadcast.
—After a long ascent, the elevator finally arrived at its destination.
As soon as the elevator door opened, what they saw was a quite luxurious hotel.
Before Bai Zhi and the others could take a closer look at the hotel's environment, a waiter in a suit and tie came to them and handed them their own weapons with a smile.
"Welcome to all finalists, this is your weapon card. Please be sure to keep it. If you accidentally lose it, please go to the hotel front desk to get a replacement as soon as possible."
