"The task is over. The remaining number of people in the venue: 10 people.

Contestant No. 419, your number of kills is: 46 people. Your entry rank is: 1st place.

Congratulations, you have qualified for the rematch. Please wait for 30 seconds before entering the settlement process. "

—Is the sacrificial ceremony over

Tai Lun thought indifferently, retracting the blade into its sheath.

He felt a strong force suppressing himself to continue any action, and then the platform under his feet slowly rose—

Bit by bit, what unfolded before his eyes was the entire auditorium.

The audience was shouting at the tsunami, and the sound swept in like a tide, mixed with high-pitched screams: "No. 419!"

"look here!"

"Oh-husband, I love you! Husband, you are two meters one!"

They waved everything in their hands, and the colorful colors seemed to Tyrann to be undulating rainbow lights; they played various whistles, piccolos, and tried in every way to get his attention, once his eyes seemed to fall on that area , where hundreds of people stood up and cheered and applauded; they also threw all kinds of objects down the stage, including coins, handkerchiefs and even mobile phones, which turned into data and disappeared before falling on the stage.

None of this seems like it should have happened after a massacre.

They should feel fear, panic and hatred for themselves, not the exaggerated enthusiasm and admiration they are today.

Tyron couldn't understand this situation.

His expressionless face was well hidden under the hood, and the audience only saw contestant "No. 419" tilting his head in a daze, and immediately burst into screams: "So cute!"

"Ah-"

"Husband, you are number one! Husband, you are so cute that you exploded on the spot!"

Tai Lun folded his arms and held his chest. He didn't express his opinion on everything in front of him. He thought to himself: Maybe this is a kingdom ruled by the God of Slaughter? Everyone is proud of "killing", so the more I kill, the more popular I am

After 30 seconds of cheers, the remaining 9 platforms were raised one by one on the stage, standing on the players who survived the chaos.

Screams and cheers broke out in the audience again and again, which made Tai Lun further affirm his guess.

After the ten contestants stood still, the host slowly came out from the backstage and said, "Congratulations to the ten contestants who have qualified for the semi-finals of the Chaoyang League's First-Class Golden League!... Please give a speech."

Starting from the tenth player, they expressed their gratitude and luck one by one, and said that they would continue to work hard to win the championship.

Although they are all clichés, the audience showed enough enthusiasm to save face.

Finally, when it was the first place's turn, the host said passionately: "Congratulations to contestant No. 419 for winning the crown! According to the rules, the first place can choose to announce his real name now, you—"

"No." Taylor said indifferently.

The host coughed, quickly gathered more enthusiasm, and said, "Contestant No. 419 is as mysterious and low-key as ever, so do you have any testimonials to tell the audience?"

"No." Tyron continued to say indifferently.

The audience in the audience: "Ah-"

The host really wanted to wipe off the cold sweat on his back. In order to avoid embarrassment, he hurriedly said: "The audience friends are too enthusiastic. Maybe contestant No. 419 is shy. Okay, let's move on to the next session..."

The audience calmed down a little, and a male voice came out suddenly: "My husband, you are so cool—"

host:"… "

Tyron: "??"

After two seconds of silence, there was a wave of shouts, laughter, applause and boos from the auditorium, and the audience was erupting for a while.

The host took the opportunity to adjust the atmosphere and said: "Contestant No. 419 is really charming, it's so cool that you can't get your legs together."

She borrowed a stalk with a little color, and the audience really whistled with dignity.

Tyronn who doesn't understand memes: Indifference.jpg.

Tai Lun crossed his arms and continued to pass through the next certification session with extremely cold expressions. After obtaining the "goal of this competition", that is, "qualification for the semi-finals", he stepped off the stage like other contestants and disappeared into the competition. on site.

Then he found himself in an exotic street.

Everything seems to be composed of unknown metals and illusory light and shadow effects. Pedestrians have all kinds of strange appearances, disappearing or appearing instantly from time to time.

Tyron determined that this was a world he had never been to.

He observes pedestrians, and only takes action after confirming that the aborigines have performed similar actions; then he observes the surrounding text—in order to perform the task, he has been blessed by the gods and can listen to and read all languages and texts in the world.

Then Tyron was able to enter a bookstore, he shuttled through it, memorized the classification of all books, and then stayed in the area of educational books, flipping through them quickly.

To integrate into a world, the easiest way is to live among the locals, but there is a risk of exposure; the second easiest way is to read their educational texts, observe while reading, and learn relatively slowly but safely.

Tyron is familiar with all these, he has performed countless missions in strange environments, even in strange worlds. He knew how to make himself unnoticeable, which was the smallest part of the assassin's tricks.

From the text, Tai Lun slowly absorbed the basic knowledge of this world.

This world has no name, and everyone thinks they live in the "main universe".

The human civilization here has been developing for tens of thousands of years. From the initial barbaric era, it soon reached the feudal era, then the development of scientific and technological civilization, until now it has become a cosmic civilization, and has established a "sunrise" in the entire galaxy. Alliance" is developing together as a whole.

In this era, with the increase of colonized planets and the expansion of the territory of human activities, the population density has become very small, and the real world appears to be highly developed and extremely lonely, so few people are active in reality.

People spend most of their time in the virtual network, which includes education, entertainment, work and sleep. There is almost nothing that must be done offline. Even for physical problems in reality, there are perfect online consultations. System and intelligent machinery door-to-door service.

Since 99.9% of physical labor has been done by intelligent machines, and about 50% of mental work is also done by artificial intelligence, a large number of people are unemployed. But even if they are unemployed, the government will provide enough benefits to make them live a good life. Who makes human beings have such a large territory and such abundant resources, and if they don't squander it, it becomes a waste

So the most important work of human beings now is: game colonization.

This is a top-notch technology released by Chaoyang Alliance, which uses the method and structure of virtual games to solve the employment problem of a large number of people.

People are hired to "play the game", and the background of the game is to colonize various "sub-universes". After a large number of players enter a game world, they use their own efforts to obtain resources, power, and intelligence; the government uses this to further cooperate with players to research and develop this "sub-universe".

The so-called "e-sports League One" competition is against this background, a competitive competition that combines all games.

Since the development of this game, it has become the largest online league in the e-sports industry. Hundreds of millions of yuan in prize pools are accumulated every year waiting for players to grab it. A large number of clubs, media, management companies and their reporters, professional players, hosts, Commentators, agents, and coaches all rely on this banner to survive and compete.

Such an industrial chain of hundreds of billions of dollars is constantly swallowing money every year, and the most eye-catching and brightest among them are of course the competitive masters who shine like stars.

Tai Lun quickly finished a book and slowly put it back on the shelf.

At this time, he noticed a woman just walking from behind, staring at his back for more than ten seconds.

Tai Lun's vigilance did not show, he turned his head naturally, and met her eyes inadvertently.

The woman was caught off guard, and Tai Lun took a look, and said with a flushed face, "Yes, I'm sorry sir! I... I seem to have mistaken someone."

Tai Lun could tell at a glance that she had no intention of leaving immediately.

Sure enough, she quickly said again: "But...but you are really similar. May I ask, are you... are you Mr. Pei Rong? I... I am your fan! Many years old fan, fanatic fan, I am in plush The cashmere support club has been registered for almost ten years!"

Tai Lun's heart moved, his current real name was indeed registered: Pei Rong.

However, he does not have any intention of contacting people for the time being.

"I'm not, you've got the wrong person."

Tai Lun turned around very naturally, and took down another book from the shelf.

Sometimes, when an assassin raises suspicions, the last thing to do is to lose your cool and argue. Because once you speak, you will attract attention; once you refute any point of view of others, it will arouse the subconscious disgust of the other party; of concern.

If you want to get rid of suspicion, the most important behavior is: a firm and calm "no".

"Oh... is that so..." The woman behind seemed a little disappointed, "Yes, I'm sorry!"

After making sure no one is following him, Tyron opens his profile panel - something he just learned.

This matter is very interesting. The current identity of the low-key and mysterious master assassin seems to have been a well-known star: Pei Rong.

Tai Lun took a rough look at the life of "himself", probably from a very ordinary background, his parents died young, he lived with a younger sister, relied on his excellent innate conditions all the way, and finally became a generation of superstars, and was born again in two years. Retired due to injury years ago.

As for the "injury"... It is said that Pei Rong has a kind of congenital mental hollowness, even if he suffers a small injury, he is prone to various neurological symptoms. The advanced stage of this disease may lead to brain death and become a vegetable.

This can roughly explain why Pei Rong, the original body, died suddenly on the eve of the start of the melee.
