The simulated sand table starts to roll, and the terrain of this final is randomly selected. The picture scrolls quickly from the desert, the jungle, and the glacier, and finally freezes on the ruins.
The circular competition area is an independent world. Through the glass, you can see the blood-red sunset, the scorching sun, the wasteland mechanical city intertwined with reinforced concrete, and zombies slowly approaching the center from the edge.
Different from the natural map, the ruins map is also filled with external disturbances. The zombie group will gradually become stronger over time. After more than 30 minutes, even the most powerful fighters cannot survive in the mouth of the zombies that have evolved several times.
The red and blue players began to look for their own bunkers, waiting for the opportunity to start the first confrontation, and looking for the best time to snatch the water spirit.
"The blue player seems a little distracted," the commentator was distracted for a while, coughed and coughed half a minute after the game started, and joked, "Indeed, the image of the water elf this time is too cute, I don't know the modeling work How long has the staff been outraged... "
Modeling staff: "???"
They clearly remembered that the water elf they modeled this time was a little otter, how did it become a little mermaid!
In Utopia, due to the limitation of objective conditions, there are very few players in the "Zai Zai Cultivation Project".
And even if you're playing games, it's hard to guess that the 'Water Spirit' in front of you is the Empire of Muse, who happened to be sent over by the light tower system, and caught up with the filter system disorder and directly superimposed the mermaid and gnome filters. The king of... Wen Xingze.
'Water Spirit' is still curled up in the beam of light.
The little guy is soft from skin to hair, even the pearly scales, and the tail fin has a tulle-like texture.
The air bubbles from bottom to top brushed the hair tail of the young mermaid time and time again, making the silver swim like the moonlight falling into the galaxy startling arcs.
The little mermaid looked sleepy, he first yawned softly, then rubbed his eyes, and tentatively touched the transparent wall of the beam of light.
"Ding Dong".
The wall touched by him glowed like fragments of pixels, like fireworks exploding. The little mermaid was taken aback, patted her tail anxiously and backed away, at the same time her eyes widened, and she hurriedly spit bubbles: "Gululu!"
... Many people suddenly got up from the auditorium.
Damn, this is too cute!
If it wasn't for the fact that the competition area was completely closed after the finals started, if it wasn't for the last bit of sanity remaining, I really want to rush to the stage right now to snatch the little mermaid out and steal it home to raise.
Fortunately, the live broadcast system was turned off during Star Trek, otherwise, it would be hard to imagine what the Muse parents would do.
Several cameras were working at the same time, and four giant light screens were suspended directly above the arena, showing the arena from God's perspective, the follow-up cameras of the red and blue players, and the current status of the water spirits.
Unknowingly, nearly half of the audience's attention was attracted by the water elves, and they were absent-minded when discussing the game.
"This terrain is really not good for the Titans... Ah, the little guy is spitting bubbles again, is he hungry?"
"Will virtual modeling be hungry too?... Zombies have evolved three times, and there is not much time left... I want to feed the little guy with a small bottle."
"I can't move my eyes at all."
"He seems to be observing the situation around him, trying to find out what the thing that traps him is. The little guy is quite smart."
"I heard that Muse has a "Zai Zai Raising Plan". If the cubs they raise are so cute, I can understand why this kind of cheating game is so popular..."
"..."
Wen Xingze couldn't understand what they were saying.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that he had come to another universe, and this was obviously not the Muse.
He was 'packed' in a cylinder filled with nutrient solution, which was smooth to the touch, and the nutrient solution felt moist and warm. Wen Xingze took a sip tentatively, and took another sip a few seconds later.
"belch."
The taste is a bit like Siji milk green with three parts of sugar and ice removed.
The director, who has been watching the little mermaid, looked at the little guy, and at this time, he put up the sponsor's advertisement at the right time: "Xingyu brand nutrient solution, the four-season milk green taste that your little cutie will definitely like, the edible nutrient solution is True nutrition!"
"..." Wen Xingze wondered if Utopia's large-scale competition should be just right, then nodded in cooperation, and the fish's tail also swayed up and down.
Many people in the auditorium were obsessed with watching the little guy's every move. At this time, some audience excitedly threw the terminal into the sky, and the terminal with tens of thousands of stars turned into fireworks and exploded.
Such 'folk customs and honesty' should be utopia.
Wen Xingze guessed that this should be the final scene of Utopia's annual 'Killing Show'. And he turned on the mermaid filter and the dwarf filter, and the dwarf filter made him change back to his five or six-year-old appearance.
Being naked and being stared at by so many people made Wen Xingze feel a little... In fact, it's okay, because he is not the kind of person who is too shy... Uh, fish.
It's not like he can't get out.
It's just that Wen Xingze wanted to come to Utopia to watch the finals of the Killing Show. He hadn't had the chance to play games before. Finally, he had the opportunity to watch the game up close. Wen Xingze decided to watch it for a while.
Some viewers gave krypton gold to the "Water Spirit" by name, and soon a bag of potato chips and a bottle of milk fell from the sky.
Wen Xingze held the potato chips and watched the game with relish.
When the final competition became more heated, the two contestants fought in the middle of the ruins. The sound of weapons colliding and the sparks bursting out were extremely gorgeous.
In addition to facing pressure from each other, most of the zombies have evolved to level five. If the water elf is not rescued within five minutes, the entire final competition area will be leveled by the zombies that have evolved to the highest level.
Well, this will be the only competition without a champion since the Killing Show has been held for 30 years... The irritable old man in the audience will probably curse at people.
Everyone's long-lost attention finally came back.
It won't hurt the little guy.
"There is not much time left for the two contestants. Now the highest-level zombies are level five... level six! Level six! There is less than 10% of the living space in the entire competition area!"
The tone of the commentary became tense.
With the level of the two finalists, they are almost powerless to fight back against the hordes of level 6 zombies. What's more, in the ruins map, the ruins will gradually collapse.
Now it has begun to collapse, and all kinds of reinforced concrete continue to collapse.
In the space of the competition area suspended in the air, gunpowder is everywhere.
Both players suffered injuries of varying degrees.
The little mermaid in the beam of light seemed inexplicably leisurely. He seemed to have gradually adapted to the current situation, watching the fighting outside with a sense of contentment, and even with a little curiosity, and the zombies getting closer... I don't know how many there are. The audience worried about hurting him.
The little mermaid is even eating potato chips.
Audiences:"… "
The two players fought closer and closer to the place where the 'Water Spirit' was. When there was more than one minute left in the countdown, the blue player finally took the lead. The Titan race player fell into a coma due to serious injuries, and was punched back to the resurrection cabin by a level 7 zombie, disqualified for the competition.
But the blue player hasn't won the game yet. He has to save the 'Water Spirit'.
In such a fierce battle, the blue player's hood was riddled with holes and stained with blood. Leaning on a cane, he walked towards Wen Xingze.
Through the glass, in the deep blue water, Wen Xingze quietly watched him walk up to him.
"We're getting out of here," the man said.
Wen Xingze spat out a string of bubbles expressing approval.
The man pulled the corners of his lips and continued, "Can you come out by yourself?"
Wen Xingze: "?"
Audiences:"???"
The audience and Wen Xingze were stunned.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of millions of viewers across Utopia were outraged. What kind of person is this? The little mermaid is in sight, go hug him! Then steal it home and raise it! If he doesn't go up, the audience will want to go up!
Cubs don't need to be donated to those in need!
Wen Xingze maintained the posture of biting half a piece of potato chips, stayed for a moment, chewed and swallowed the potato chips slowly: "...I—"
I don't know what Wen Xingze did to hinder the other party's eyes. The contestant looked at his potato chips, frowned, and suddenly rebuked mockingly:
"Eating potato chips every day, anyone who buys you snacks can eat them, and I don't worry about others being poisoned at all."
The tone is very motherly.
Wen Xingze: "...I—"
Wen Xingze couldn't speak, and ate another slice a little bit aggrieved.
"Let's go, I don't care if you dawdle any longer." The man knocked on the glass impatiently.
The man was completely covered by the hooded robe, Wen Xingze could only vaguely see a pair of lazy honey-colored eyes.
He was very similar to someone Wen Xingze knew.
The appearance is similar, and the character... is also quite similar to the orcs.
According to different races, orcs actually have different personalities. Herbivore-type orcs are mostly warm and innocent, while carnivore-type orcs are withdrawn, aggressive, possessive, and have a vicious tongue. To Wen Xingze, they are very much like a mother who forces you to wear long johns after autumn.
Wen Xingze used to live in the desert with the polar wolf orcs. During that time, he was scolded for almost everything he did. Roar…
During the day, he scolded him so much, but at night, he would still change back into a fluffy silver wolf shape, angrily, and lie down around him tightly, protecting him from the cool wind mixed with gravel from the desert.
But the contestant in front of him has no earrings. The earrings that the orcs would not take off until they died.
Wen Xingze: "I'll come out soon, hiccup."
"...don't fucking eat potato chips!" the man yelled at him.
The audience is already in disarray, it's hard to imagine that this is a last-minute scene in the finale of The Killing Show, it's almost like a "Happy Family" sitcom. The dialogue between the two is so proficient, it doesn't look like players and NPCs meeting each other for the first time on the field. Is this also programmed? When did the killing show do this
Then, everything changed in an instant.
On the way of the ruins collapsing, a huge boulder fell from the sky. The blue player didn't even look at it. He raised his hand and released a skill to smash the boulder.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that it was a special prop stone that was cursed by a level 7 zombie.
Starting from the long stick of the blue player, everything within a ten-meter radius was frozen in the blink of an eye. Before the man was completely frozen, his last reaction was to half-kneel in the direction of the little mermaid and stretch out his hand.
An unreserved, instinctively protective posture.
"boom-"
The ice cubes were hammered to pieces by the crowd of zombies that followed.
The blue player was also sent back to the resurrection pod, and lost the qualification for the competition!
If he didn't want to protect the little mermaid in the end, but saved himself first, maybe he wouldn't be directly disqualified from the competition. Of course, because of this, the Frozen Curse did not spread to the direction of the beam of light.
"...the players from the blue team are also disqualified, and there is no champion in this final," the commentator was also shocked by the unforeseen event, and it took him a while to recover, "There are still 30 seconds left, and the 'Water Spirit' that everyone is most concerned about now 'The situation is very dangerous, the zombies have all evolved to level seven, and the ruins are about to be destroyed!"
As a game that is popular all over the country, the game effects and atmosphere of Killing Show are extremely realistic, almost the same as reality.
The circular competition area suspended in mid-air has been completely covered with collapsed ruins. Groups of level 7 zombies with ferocious faces wandered in the space.
The wind howled.
Everyone's heart was in their throats, and while they were inexplicably anxious and worried, they also sighed.
"Unexpectedly, there will be no champion this time."
"What will happen if the water spirit is not rescued? Modeling should not die... But I feel so worried."
"It's just a game NPC with a very low force value. I suggest that the Killing Show official can launch a small game to raise this little mermaid elf."
"No, then aren't we the same as Muse and those idiots?! Strong men don't play cultivation games!"
After all, the Water Spirit is just an npc without any skills. His only purpose of existence is to be saved. No matter how cute he looks and how much everyone likes him, this fact will not change. How can such a small npc survive even the top two contestants in the master-gathering killing show
The last ten seconds count down.
The ending was doomed, the game was about to end, but for some reason, no audience got up to pack their things and prepare to leave.
It seemed that there was something forcing them to continue to look at the competition area.
Ten, nine, eight, seven...
A wind of blood and sand swept across the entire space, the blood-red setting sun was burning fiercely in the sky, and the entire suspended platform was shaking slightly. The light beam of the water elf's life has been buried behind the dust and sand. The essence of the light beam is just a petri dish filled with nutrient solution. At this time, the broken wire has been exposed, and the blue sparks are buzzing.
The tracking camera slowly moved closer.
Four, three, two...
Sudden.
There was an explosion, and a large area of ruins and scorched earth was set off amidst the sound of gunfire. The whole scene was like the end of the world.
The thin figure of the young man appeared between the smoke screens.
Like a knight in an ancient ritual, he knelt on one knee, bent over and backhanded. The young man turned his knuckles slightly, and a pure black dagger suddenly appeared in his palm. In an instant, the time extended infinitely, reflected in everyone's retinas, his movements were slow and sharp to the extreme, like a bloodthirsty black blade slanting across the neck of the only eighth-level zombie—
boom!
The flames burst into the sky.
It was a scene where adrenaline was soaring to the extreme, and every cell was trembling. The fierce confrontation of this night was not even as shocking as this scene.
——The boy's long hair is tied loosely with seaweed, his skin is fair to transparent, and his pair of light golden pupils are distant and noble, like jade statues in a shrine that are indifferent and joyless. Behind him is the doomsday wasteland that is constantly collapsing from the sky, with gunpowder smoke flowing and sparks radiating.
"..."
For the second time today, the entire stadium fell into complete silence.
Dead silence.
Even the host and commentator, who are good at invigorating the atmosphere and telling the status quo, were suddenly speechless.
The backstage has become a mess, all kinds of red lights indicating bugs are flickering frantically, and the programmers in charge of debugging are already devastated.
At this moment, the countdown displayed directly above was finally completely cleared, and the gentle notification sound set by the game system sounded as scheduled:
"Tonight, head to the top.
"The Killing Show final is officially over, let us congratulate the winner—Wen Xingze from Muse Empire, for becoming the champion of the 30th Killing Show.
"The champion will have the right to challenge my king. The match will be held in the central arena one hour later at 9:00 tonight. Please be there on time!"
Wen Xingze: "..."
Audiences:"… "
Audience: "??? Ahhh—"
