Sword and Magic and Clear Flow

In the competitive challenge of winning three out of five sets, Sean had already won three games in a row, so there was no need to fight the last two games.He called up the transition portal of the arena system, entered the house number of Egg Tart, and wanted to see other people's games - at this moment, a message popped up in the information box and flashed.

[Secret Chat] Yiqi Dangqian: "Cousin, why are you here to play the arena so early? Is there a traffic jam in the capital? Is it fun at the research institute? Is work over? When are you coming back?"

Sean originally wanted to tell his cousin the truth, "Boy, my brother is going to perform a special mission and the return date is uncertain, take care of yourself and don't miss him too much", but he swallowed the words.The task of crossing Pislan is absolutely confidential. At this time, the players don't know anything, and their words and deeds in the research institute are closely monitored.

[Secret chat] Sean: "Not yet, it depends on the arrangement of the organizer. Is your school exam week after New Year's Day? What are you doing?"

[Secret chat] A ride as a thousand: "I got up early and studied hard!"

[Secret chat] Sean: "Working hard in the game?"

Sandy was exposed for a second, terrified inside, pretending to be calm, and there was an undetectable tremor in her voice.

[Secret chat] One ride as a thousand: "...I'll come up to feed the horse, and then I'll be off the assembly line."

[Secret chat] Sean: "Game in moderation, don't delay your studies. I made snacks and put them in the fresher at home, for you and Huang Sang. Take care of the housekeeping robot when I'm away."

[Secret Chat] Yiqi Dangqian: "[Expression: Confused] Shouldn't it be a housekeeping robot taking care of me, a human being?"

[Secret Chat] Sean: "It's a robot with a soul, you have to treat it kindly."

Data virtual holographic pets can develop feelings, not to mention the robot who has been with him for more than 20 years. Although his personality is a bit crooked, he finds it cute after getting used to it.Some people don't like AI that actively learns and develops independent personalities spontaneously. They are inexplicably afraid that they will become "smarter" as they are used, and they will not buy this type in the first place.

[Secret chat] Yiqi Dangqian: "Okay... okay, then I'm off?"

[Secret chat] Sean: "Well, be good."

What a worrying silly cousin, Sean replied to the messages from relatives and friends in the guild, closed the message box and went offline.He took off his soft-hat helmet, folded it into a handkerchief-sized pocket and put it in his pocket. He stood up and looked around, seeing players stumbling around in the game room.

The research institute has specially built a new game room for the action team, and there is a block between them and the officers and soldiers team.The performance of the anti-gravity suspension chair provided here is much better than that used by professional e-sports athletes. It can be adjusted freely when lying down, with perfect support, and it can record physical status data at all times, and there are acupoint massages to help players concentrate.

The users of the holographic helmets, no matter how fierce and devastating the fight in the game, in reality, if they ignore the expression of frowning and pursing their lips and tense muscles, they will look peaceful and peaceful as if they are asleep.It's just that occasionally when I'm emotional, I will mutter aloud, mainly short and sharp quality three consecutive, after being harmoniously silenced by the system, I have a feeling of choking and panic, and I have to actually scold to feel comfortable.

Each group has a four-hour challenge time, two and a half hours is a fixed time for playing five arenas, and one and a half hours is optional, and the officers and men who fight with them will match their schedule.

Sean is currently the only player who has played three games in a row and won three games. He spent a total of one hour and 10 minutes, of which 15 minutes were spent doing nothing but chatting with people.

He was a bit reluctant to give up such a comfortable chair, so he simply lay down again to enjoy the health care of the whole body, and hopefully set up a few key massage points to help increase height. "Ah!" The voice broke the silence of the room.

Changed his posture, lay on his side and looked over, and found that he was a relatively unfamiliar player, who only had nodding acquaintances when he reported for duty on the first day.After the man screamed, he kept moaning and twisting over and over again. If it wasn't for the handrails to block him, he would have fallen down.

After a violent convulsion, he sat up straight away. He was already awake before taking off his helmet.His back was drenched in cold sweat, his knuckles were turning white while holding onto the guardrail, he was panting rapidly, and his terrified expression seemed to freeze.

Sean withdrew his gaze and continued to close his eyes to meditate.

After the physical fitness screening, the research institute uses the challenge arena mode to screen the game level, reaction ability, mental state, and psychological quality. Three wins in five games is only a symbolic rule. It is very difficult for ordinary people to fight against military fighting experts and lose five games in a row. It's normal, something like Sean's is abnormal.

If ordinary players want to be formally selected into the action group, they must first have a clear goal and a clear mind.The primary goal of the challenge mode is not "death battle", but "survival", and the key to victory is to survive 30 minutes.

Many people made mistakes when they first came up, eager to show themselves by showing off their skills and killing them.When they find the gap between themselves and their opponents, smart people will calm down after the blood has passed, hide, avoid battles, procrastinate... do everything possible to preserve the blood line, "the three caves of the cunning rabbit" is by no means a sign of cowardice but a correct judgment.

Those players who overperformed and ignored the purpose of the challenge, "defying death" type players will be eliminated instead.Because after traveling through the real different world, unlike in the game where you lose one level at most and can be resurrected infinitely, the life of every member is extremely precious, and reckless sacrifice is the last thing to do.

Followed by psychological quality, mental state.The arena set up this time automatically turns off all harmony effects. Players who don’t use filters can’t notice anything and can still play normally. Those who are used to filters are suffering.

100% pain is not something everyone can bear. The result of a completely real fight is a violent impact that shatters the tiger's mouth, the defense is broken and the knife penetrates into the flesh, the tearing and puncture is bleeding profusely, and even the bone is shattered and exploded in place when it is trampled by the horse's hoof. like feeling.Fortunately, most of the officers and men fighting in the sparring team are physics professionals. Otherwise, they have to suffer from magic skills, suffer from freezing, burning, electric shock, toxins, and even lose control of their bodies... Players who can't adapt after five rounds will also be eliminated.

The holographic helmet can monitor the mental state of the user. Extreme fatigue and overly violent emotions are not suitable for continuing the game. The player who was kicked off the line is a typical mental breakdown. The suspension chair fixed his body in time to avoid harming himself or others. Condition.After a while, the Institute sent someone to take him for psychological intervention.

Except for these two points, everything else is secondary. After all, skills can be honed, and strategies and tactics can also be trained.

Sean was ashamed to stand alone among a group of "bloody battle" players, he didn't indulge himself for too long, got up and walked out of the game room, and came to the lounge and cafeteria.Originally, there were still players watching the 7×5 giant split-screen live broadcast, but now they all went back to the dormitory or found a free game room to practice.

Once all the challengers are approached by the officers and soldiers, they are as helpless as quails waiting to be slaughtered. The 34 unfiltered images taken from the perspective of God are bloody.

A pocket star known as "Shen Mu" staged a bloody chase and escape, and the strange and beautiful snow-capped mountains finally became the scene of the tragedy; Under such circumstances, a fire method was abused without even releasing a single skill, leaving only a layer of blood; even the star player Master Xiao was beaten into a pig's head in the third round and rubbed on the ground.

These people still won the battle, but they were so embarrassed that they didn't look like winners at all.There is still hope for those who run away, and they will only lose faster and die more miserably if they go straight.On the 35th screen in the lower right corner, each game's victory and defeat, timing, and effective damage are quickly scrolled... The data is frightening.

The spectators are all at the level of the game gods of the Peaceful Continent. After watching it for a while, they can't sit still. Killing the champion has become a dish for casual abuse. Instead, facing such a terrifying opponent, he can still challenge the arena as usual. Is it a show-off stage?I'm afraid my head will be blown off.

When Xiao En came over, he saw Gu Qing and Da Ma sitting and admonishing others, Xun Junjie, Fu Xing, and Gao Zhao stood in a row like elementary school students who made mistakes, and the chicks nodded like pecking rice and sobbed pitifully , It is true that the listener is sad and the hearer sheds tears.

"Stop acting," Sean chuckled, of course he understood what was going on. "I don't take this set."

The three of them teamed up to fight the family members of their comrades-in-arms. They were a bit timid. They didn't want to fight, but the arrangement of their immediate superior, Major Zhan, was not negotiable, so they decided to ask Zhongwei Gu to take the blame—even though they had lost three times in a row.

Lu Qinghe can't really take out his anger on his comrades just because his boyfriend got beaten up in the game, is that still a person?They can't show that they don't have anything at all, that they don't care enough about their sweetheart, so they can only act together as a hero.

Laughing fruit is still good.

Fu Xing leaned forward to shake hands while reporting his name, with a flattering expression on his face: "Hey, I'm convinced that I lost, and I will let my sister-in-law order me from now on..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Call me brother-in-law!" No one could match Gu Qinghe's desire to survive, and after saying that, he felt that something was wrong.

Everyone: "..."

"Okay, okay, the arena is for fighting and killing, and I'm not a glass heart." Sean laughed in his heart, his boyfriend and his comrades are really a bunch of treasures, "It's because I'm not as good as others, The miserable victory is also good luck, but the zero filter is very exciting."

Gu Qinghe agreed: "Well, kung fu has already eliminated many people at this moment."

He pointed to the split screen, and now more than a dozen screens were blank, and it was less than two hours before the opening of the first round.Some of these people died suddenly after entering the arena in a row, and some gave up after three consecutive losses. Their pride was ruthlessly trampled, their confidence fell to the bottom, and they were obviously not in the mood to come to the rest hall to watch other people's live broadcasts.Another player was so agitated that he was taken to psychological intervention.

"Actually, losing three games in a row doesn't mean you'll be eliminated directly." Xun Junjie looked around and found that there were no players in the second or third group, so he simply told the truth: "The other party asks to continue, and we will accompany them to the end. Each group lasts four hours. If you play fast, ten games will be fine, mentality and toughness are the most important, and one more second of survival is progress."

As he spoke, he clicked on a blank screen to find the replay: "Look at this player, one game is dying faster than the next. Two of the games are professional advantage maps, which are caused by a broken mentality. The other party told him that he can continue to challenge. , and refused to start the fourth round, directly took off the helmet and went offline."

Sean nodded, this is no different from giving up voluntarily.He noticed that the arena where Hamburg was located had just finished a round of massacres and started another round, so he zoomed in. "Garden Chicken Drumstick Burger, what round is this?"

"It's the eighth round." The blank screen can be taken out and used casually. Gu Qinghe took seven yuan to replay the first seven rounds: "The first time there was a wave of sudden deaths, and the more frustrated and courageous it was later, the sixth time. Already survived 28 minutes and almost won."

"Then..." Xiao En looked at Lu Qinghe expectantly, and it was self-evident what he wanted to ask.

"He passed." Hamburg is not a fighting talent in the first place, and it is very rare to be discouraged by losing in a row and still making steady progress.Gu Qinghe and You Rongyan are worthy of being members of their Fish Pond Guild, and they performed very well.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like before rebirth, winning or losing the competitive challenge was not the point.

There were more and more blank screens. In the end, only Hamburg and Liu Yi fought hard for four hours.

The IDs of the three officers and soldiers who became Liu Yi’s opponents are useless by default, and the names are also clever enough. I saw the score screen kept brushing "Dream of a Billion Girls but lost Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, and Kodak Duck. Don’t Be discouraged, keep working hard!", not only can't feel sympathy, but even want to laugh.

Of the 34 players, only two of them actually managed to win three out of five sets——"Hunter Patriarch" Sean and "God Shepherd" Wang Jiashu, and luck was the main factor.The tragic situation of the advance army was very shocking, and the second and third teams who were about to play had no intention of having lunch.

The first group of players and officers and soldiers gathered in the cafeteria after the game, and ate while watching the "wonderful" review on the big screen.

Today, the dormitory cafeteria of the research institute provides a lot of things. On the buffet table, there are not only light-flavored ice shrimp, steamed crab, fish in tomato sauce, and borscht, but also spicy and delicious boiled beef, Maoxuewang, twice-cooked pork, and sesame oil. Chicken, pork ribs with chopped peppers, dry-stir-fried diced rabbit...you can pick it up, the staple food is red bean rice and Dandan noodles.

Gu Qinghe quietly said to Xiao En: "I was afraid that you would be homesick, so I specially asked the cafeteria to make these..." The tone was full of credit.

"Thank you!" The boyfriend is so considerate, Sean happily served two large plates, and dragged Lu Qinghe to the corner to enjoy the sweet world of the two of them.

You take a bite and I take a bite, it tastes like dog food.

The other players had just experienced bloody storms, and some people covered the entire map with blood spurts. When they came out, they were heartbroken to face the red-eyed festive dishes.What are those chunks of meat sizzling on the griddle?What are those things that are tumbling in the red soup?What kind of buffet table is this? It’s simply an anatomy table for blood pool hell...

The egg tart scooped up a large piece of duck blood, put some fat sausage on his plate, poured a spoonful of soup on it, and looked at a group of friends who were holding empty plates in a daze: "Whatever you do in a daze, eat it while it's hot." ?”

"Yes, yes, it will be snatched away in a while." Wang Chen is also a big-headed person. He dug up a large spoonful of pork blood tofu and duck blood vermicelli. I vomited a lot of blood, and I just ate something to make up for it—hey? This is really delicious! You also have some!"

Their opponents, the "predecessors selected in the first batch", faced a big table full of red, and they had no bad associations at all, and they ate without pressure.

Everyone: "..."

If you lose, not only can you not beat others, you can't even eat.Starting today, the hat of "high-end player" can be taken off and thrown into the trash.
