The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 520 "There is a conspiracy!" (asking for monthly tickets)
The way Xu Meng appeared was completely different from what Okubo Yu had imagined.

He neither walked out of the company's gate nor appeared on the two ships that looked suspicious.

The airship that suddenly appeared in the sky caused cheers from a large number of players at the scene.

Okubo Yu also looked over there.

But just when everyone looked up, the blue whale in the lake suddenly jumped up!

On top of it, sat a man wearing a straw hat, shorts and a floral shirt.

A normal whale would only jump out of the water six or seven meters, but this blue whale not only had an amazing physique, but also an extremely exaggerated jumping height - it almost jumped out of the water fifteen meters high in a flying posture!

Until his head was level with the boat hanging below the airship.

The man in the flowered shirt jumped lightly from the whale's head onto the deck and took off the straw hat on his head.

The big whale was pulled down again by gravity and crashed heavily into Jing Lake.

It was as if a bomb exploded in the lake, with a rumbling sound and huge splashes of water shooting up into the sky!

But such a spectacular scene can only serve as a backdrop for the man in the flowered shirt.

Because the person who came was:

A scientific research genius that only appears once in 500 years, the co-founder of the Dream Building Game Company, the creator of the Sprawling City, the pioneer of human dreams, the Digital Emperor, the Cyber ​​Hua Tuo, an investment genius, the man who is closest to the God of Games in the world——

Make a dream!

A grand symphony echoed in the air, welcoming his arrival.

It also announced the start of the [Humanoid Robot Competition].

There was a sound of surprise at the scene:
"What's going on? How did Boss Xu get up there? Is that airship real?"

“Can a whale jump that high??”

"Are you stupid? Blue whales can't survive in freshwater lakes! Especially in a small puddle like Jinghu!"

"So Whale and Boss Xu are both fake?"

"...He even designed his own entrance animation and music. Isn't that too showy?!"

……

The players below were discussing it heatedly.

Okubo Yu was also stunned.

The anchors and media from all over the world raised their cameras excitedly, wishing Xu Meng could do more.

Xu Meng was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction.

"Welcome everyone to Ningzhou! To Jinghu Holographic Park! To the humanoid robot competition!"

Without the need for a microphone, his voice spread across most of Jinghu Park through the large and small speakers hidden under holographic camouflage.

The tourists below looked around in surprise, but no one could find where the horn was.

Even the robot team members who were already standing in the preparation area looked around curiously.

But soon, the live camera turned to them.

"First of all, let us welcome all the contestants!"

Xu Meng waved her hand and the camera immediately switched, quickly scanning the teams in the preparation area.

Most of them were in groups of three or four, and the robots around them were covered with black cloth and not revealed in advance - this was also the suggestion of the Dream Building Competition organizing department.

There are as many as 82 robot companies participating in the competition.

Among them, there are about 20 companies that are truly powerful.

The remaining half have some strength, but not much.

The other half just die when exposed to the light, either they have no products or their products are so rubbish that they are unbearable to look at.

If Xu Meng hadn't publicly named them, they would have even planned to play dead and pretend that they had not received the invitation letter from Zhumeng.

When Xu Meng publicly named and sent out invitations, netizens thought that these companies were very strong, which was why they were publicly invited by Xu Meng.

However, these companies are so obscure that no one has ever heard of them, which inevitably causes some confusion.

If you are confused, just search.

And this digging caused trouble.

The strength of netizens is beyond doubt, and they immediately exposed the underwear of these companies——

A group of unreliable companies using PPT products to attract investment.

Everyone's expectations quickly turned to disappointment. If they weren't waiting for them to make a fool of themselves on the field, they would have already criticized them to pieces.

Now the camera swept across the participating teams one by one, and those famous robot companies - such as Zhongyu, Qingtian, and Huizhi - were just laughed off.

But words like Extreme Leap, Cable Light, Over Limit... once they appear in the camera, they will instantly attract a large number of mocking comments.

Everyone is expecting these companies to make a fool of themselves.

This is also a major highlight of this competition.

"Next, we will conduct a random draw, with 10 groups of 8 contestants in each group, to compete -."

"But please rest assured, the promotion spots are not determined by the outcome of the duel, but by the combat performance of each robot player!" "In addition, there will be two byes in this round, and you can directly enter the next round. Let's see who will be the lucky one!"

After Xu Meng finished explaining the rules, a little pink head popped up next to him.

Xiao Meng stretched out her hand and pointed, and huge numbers appeared above the heads of all the contestants in the preparation area.

From 1 to 82, clearly visible.

Pointing upwards again, 82 small balls appeared in the air and fell into a huge funnel under the pull of gravity.

Below the funnel is a slope full of obstacles, and the bottom of the slope consists of 9 transparent vertical barrels.

82 small balls poured out of the funnel, collided with obstacles on the slope, and bounced continuously.

Until it randomly falls into the transparent vertical barrel at the bottom.

After 20 seconds, the draw is over.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two small balls in the vertical bucket on the far right.

Xu Meng raised his hand and two small balls came into his hands.

"The two players who received a bye are No. 22 [Red Seal] and No. 47 [Goddess of Bliss]."

The director quickly cut the camera to the two lucky people.

The engineers of the Red Seal were granted amnesty.

The four engineers of [Ji Le Ji] were filled with disappointment.

The audience also had subtle expressions.

The scene was fine, I just watched the 8 competition groups and muttered to myself.

But in the live broadcast room, netizens were already in an uproar:
"There is something fishy going on!! There is something fishy going on!!"

"Ji Le Ji must have used a backdoor, right?!"

"Guaranteed admission? Good job! Who dares to tell on me? Take a look at my fist as big as a clay pot first!"

"Admit it, Boss Xu, you just want a horny robot!!"

……

Even Xu Meng looked at Xiao Meng with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

But now is obviously not the time to ask, and whether it is early or late, it actually doesn’t make much difference.

Anyway, everything will be exposed in the end, so we will only choose one to cooperate with.

The matchup schedule has been released.

The names of the eight competing teams were lined up on the lake.

"Next, let's lay out the battle field!"

In the small enclosed square in front of the preparation area, there are walls and dead trees.

There are also specially added flying birds, wild boars and foxes.

——These moving targets are intended to interfere with the robot’s judgment.

After a while, a not-so-complicated battlefield appeared in front of everyone.

The engineers assigned to the first battle unveiled the black cloth and carried out final emergency debugging on the robots.

Then he started his own robot and walked towards the starting point.

This step alone is not easy:

There were a total of 8 robots, and 5 of them fell to the ground with a "thump" after taking the first step.

I stretched my arms and legs on the ground, but couldn't get up.

A lot of question marks suddenly appeared at the scene and in the live broadcast room.

Obviously, they didn't expect these robots to be so embarrassing.

The engineer rushed over and after a round of emergency debugging with sweat all over his head, he successfully rescued three units.

For the remaining two robots, the engineers’ fingers were almost smoking from tapping on the tablets, but the robots didn’t get any better.

One of them fell so hard that his head fell off.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get up in a while...

Although the engineers were still struggling, the audience had already sentenced them to death in their hearts.

"There's no hope. One hundred percent eliminated."

But no matter what, in the end, 6 robots successfully arrived at their starting points.

For a group of veteran technology media, this is already a great success!
But before they had time to complain about this to their peers, they discovered another unexpected thing:

"Ether technology? Edge industry?"

"Didn't the US president ban US robotics companies from participating in the competition? How dare they be so bold?"

"They even used their real names to appear? Aren't they afraid of being sanctioned by their president?"
