Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"It's about to begin."

Standing in the crowd, Ah Lu gripped her sniper rifle nervously, and frantically checked the various things she had with her: "Where did I put my cassette?... Oh, it turned out to be in my skirt pocket..."

Compared to Alu, who was just a little nervous, Haruka on the other side looked like she was about to cry: "I'm sorry, Alu-sama! I think I forgot my cassette on the bedside table in the hotel! I'll get it right away!"

"Haruka, don't go. I've got your ticket card for you."

Kayoko patted Haruka's shoulder with a headache, and took out the Chronicle Player cartridge that Haruka forgot to bring from her pocket.

"When I was leaving this morning, I checked the room again because I was worried you might forget something."

Kayoko sighed: "Fortunately, I brought them all for you. Really, it makes me worry less..."

Among the crowd in the square, there was a circle that was obviously cleared out by someone. Standing in that circle was undoubtedly Ruo Zao wearing a fox mask.

"This is the Fox of Disaster..."

"Be quiet so she doesn't hear..."

"You come over here too!"

Under pressure from Ruozao all the time, the gangster students around her were naturally terrified, and they all had to make room for Ruozao even if they had to squeeze in.

Although Ruo Zao didn't seem to want to start a killing spree at this moment, no one wanted to get too close to this unpredictable fox of disaster.

"To be honest, this little cassette is quite interesting."

Ruozao was playing with the "Chronicle Player" in her hand. Although it was just a game cartridge given to all contestants as a ticket, it also contained a simple mini-game.

In a confined game area, a simple target shooting mini-game is played, which seems to have been made to test the skills of the game cartridge.

Although it is not a very boring mini-game and can be used to practice shooting skills, compared with other game cartridges produced by Huanmeng Games, the content of this cartridge is really just at the level of a mini-game.

But the strength demonstrated by this cartridge alone is enough to allow the students who received it to understand Huanmeng's technical capabilities.

"However, this battle method with limited health points..."

Ruo Zao only needed to think about it for a moment before she understood how this weakened her. She was arrogant, but not stupid: "The stronger the student, the greater the weakening they will suffer under this rule."

As the last contestant pressed the button on the cassette in his hand, this battle royale event involving students from various colleges also kicked off at this moment!

"The game is about to begin—"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Each contestant within the game field was illuminated by a beam of light, and was randomly teleported out of the game field. A total of 206 students were randomly and evenly teleported to various outdoor areas of the Abydos Resort.

Unlike typical battle royale games, students are transported into the arena with their usual weapons. Shields, health packs, and even the monster Collapse, which can be defeated to receive powerful airdrop support, will randomly spawn within the arena.

However, although they are students from the same team, whether they can jump together when landing depends on luck.

"Wow... the scenery around us suddenly changed?"

Hifumi looked around in surprise. Just now, she was in the largest square in the resort, but the next moment, Hifumi was teleported to a random street in the resort.

"Where is this place? It's somewhere inside the resort, but the map doesn't look familiar to me..."

Hifumi gripped her rifle and nervously shook her head left and right to look around. She had just landed and she was separated from her companions?

"This feeling—"

It was a familiar street, but she had no idea whether the person walking around the corner was friend or foe. Faced with this sudden excitement, Hifumi felt her heartbeat quicken for no apparent reason.

"Is this... a battle royale event?"

Just like Hifumi, she couldn't find her companions after landing, but they were everywhere after the game started.

Everyone initially thought that team members would be teleported together, but they didn't expect that this teleportation mechanism would directly separate everyone!

Of course, the ones who have the biggest advantage among them are Abydos, who participate in the battle with numbers, and the bad girls of the Steel Helmet Regiment.

"In a competition like this, the more people there are, the faster you can find your companions. Abydos accounts for a quarter of the participants in this competition."

Hoshino opened his eyes slightly, looked around at the surrounding terrain, and determined where he was.

In terms of the competition mechanism, teams of 4 to 6 players are formed, and players within a team are immune to damage from each other. However, no one has said that one team cannot "illegally team up" with another.

"Uncle, I have to use all my strength too~"

Hoshino pricked his ears and could hear gunfire and shouting coming from the street not far away. He couldn't help but laugh, "Ah, ah, ah! Has the fighting started already?"

At the randomly assigned teleportation locations, some met each other's teammates and successfully reunited, but more often they started fighting within three seconds of meeting each other - such as the Gehena student who bumped into Ruozao.

"Phew... Don't worry, even the Disaster Fox has the same level of physical fitness as me now!"

The Gehenna student clenched the submachine gun in his hand and said, "Look, I'll finish you off!"

boom! boom! boom!

The moment she leaned out of the cover, three precise shots hit her head, instantly clearing her health - she had just landed and hadn't picked up the shield yet.

"Humph~"

A mocking sigh escaped the corner of her mouth, and Ruo Zao lowered her hand holding the gun: "Just because I become weaker doesn't mean you become stronger."

288. The Battle Royale Begins

"Oh! The battle has already begun the moment the transmission ended! — The fierce battle of the Abydos Battle Royale will be reported live by our Chlorus News Department!"

Hovering in the air in a dedicated news reporting helicopter, Shiyin pointed the camera at the resort below where the battle had already begun. "Because of the random teleportation, even though the teams were assembled in advance, the formation was interrupted when they teleported into the battlefield! This situation disrupted many teams' advance arrangements!"

When the teleportation arrived, the Abydos students, having been well prepared, were naturally the first to react. Having rehearsed the situation, the moment they landed, the Abydos students didn't run around like headless flies. Instead, they immediately sought shelter in the surrounding buildings, searching for props scattered throughout the game area.

"Hmm... after teleporting in, they actually disrupted the team?"

Kayoko opened her eyes and found herself alone after the teleportation. Her companions from Convenience House 68 had vanished without a trace. However, judging by the constant sounds of gunfire and explosions around them, they had apparently been dispersed elsewhere.

"Right now, we can only hope that Alu and the others stay calm and don't lose their composure just because they're separated from their teammates." Kayoko looked around helplessly, gripping her pistol tightly as she ran towards the nearest cover. "Mutsuki is the one I don't have to worry about the least. Haruka and Alu... it's harder to say."

Just as Kayoko had worried, after being teleported alone to a corner of a street, Alu looked around and didn't find her companions, and she became panicked.

"Oh no...oh no...what should I do in this situation?"

Holding her sniper rifle, Alu hid in the alley between two buildings, at a loss: "What should I do now? Should I go find Kayoko and the others first, or should I occupy the commanding heights first?"

⒏14 The Age of

"Oh right, the phone! Wouldn't it be better to just call and find out where Mutsuki and the others are—outside the circle?!"

Frantically pulling out her phone, Alu tried to contact her companions, but the signal bar displayed "Out of range." In the battle royale arena, Danrito had pre-installed electronic signal blocking systems. Otherwise, anyone could easily contact their teammates using their phones, even using them to reverse-engineer their opponents' locations. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of using random teleportation to divide the battlefield?

"This is terrible. My phone can't be used..."

Ah Lu nervously closed her phone. She felt like someone could appear anywhere around her. A hostile student might appear from the corner of those streets at any second. She looked at the street entrance ahead, then the corner behind her, and stood in the alley, feeling torn.

"If I had known yesterday, I would have gone shopping instead of going to the concert!"

Holding his sniper rifle, Alu was filled with regret. He hadn't memorized the resort map properly the entire day yesterday. He had thought that with Kayoko memorizing it, he wouldn't have to worry about it. But who knew that after entering the Battle Royale event, everyone was teleported separately!

"What now? What now?!"

Alu shuffled forward cautiously. "As a sniper, shouldn't I find a higher place to hide first? But my sniper rifle doesn't have a silencer, so I usually have Mutsuki and the others block the way..."

As Alu continued to mumble, she looked down at her feet and saw a coin-shaped item floating in the air with a hint pattern on it. "What is this...?"

Curious Alu stretched out her leg and touched the energy prop floating in the air. Then, the energy prop floated up into the air and crashed into Alu's body, adding a layer of transparent shield to the outside of her body.

In Alu's field of vision, a white slot was added above her own game health value, and a value of 100/100 was also added. Obviously, this was the thing called "shield value" mentioned in the rules before.

"I don't quite understand it, but if I have this, I shouldn't be eliminated so easily, right?"

Ah Lu thought anxiously and walked a little further, right in front of the exit of this alley. Before she could reach the exit, a burst of gunfire came from the front, accompanied by a burst of powerful shouts:

"Go! Guys! Follow me and crush the other side!"

"Eula!!"

The one shouting in the street was Lan Wu of the Steel Helmets. She had luckily bumped into a fellow Steel Helmets member upon landing, forming a three-person team that was now engaged in a fierce battle with a Gehenna student. Although there was only one Gehenna student, because he was a Gehenna discipline committee member, he was at a disadvantage against Lan Wu, but not completely defeated.

"What good luck! Did the other party meet his teammates first?"

Hiding behind cover, Gehena glanced at her health. She'd just been carelessly attacked by the enemy and lost half of her health. Now, she was like a candle in the wind. "I heard there are items that restore health, but now I'm stuck here, there's no way I can recover..."

Although the discipline committee member of Gehena relied on the terrain to deal with Lan Wu and others for a while thanks to her usual rigorous training, when an Abydos student who was not a teammate appeared behind her, the discipline committee member realized that the game was over. After struggling a few times, her health was completely wiped out by the gunfire from all directions, and she quit the game cleanly.

The students of Abydos and the bad girls of the Steel Helmets were the largest teams in this match, so the chances of running into each other's teammates were high. Because there was no need to collect weapons, gunfire was already ringing out around them three minutes into the Battle Royale.

"The situation is not favorable for us."

Zi calmly huddled behind the bunker and set up trigger traps around the series of explosives he had just picked up - because there weren't many types of props picked up here, after counting them all, there were only common explosives such as grenades, Molotov cocktails, flash bombs and smoke bombs, as well as bouncing mines, broadsword mines and C4 explosives.

"Although we can defend with these items, due to the elimination range mechanism, we are destined to be unable to hold on..."

289. The whole resort was in chaos!

Standing beside Azusa, nervously preparing to defend against the enemy's attack, was Hifumi, who had fortunately reunited with Azusa. She was now cautiously peering out of the building. "The fighting has already broken out elsewhere, Azusa-chan. Shouldn't we go find Hanako and Koharu?"

"In this situation, we can only remain constant in the face of change." Zi was now in serious combat mode. In this environment, Zi had already switched to the same mindset of fighting for survival as before in Arius. "In such an uncertain situation, rashly stepping into the battle zone will only expose us to more enemy fire."

Although Finn was a Collapse-Source Body that was one and the same as Azusa, this time, Finn, as a special item, would not appear unless Azusa used the game cartridge to transform—a restriction that limited Finn's unique 'contestant.' After all, Finn was bound to the Mystery of the Sphinx in Azusa's hands, effectively binding Azusa to a teammate when he teleported, so of course there had to be some restrictions.

Just then, a loud clatter of footsteps echoed from the corridor. This was precisely why Zi had chosen to fortify this building. The indoor corridor environment amplified footsteps, and with just a careful ear, one could tell if anyone had entered the building. Any opponent who entered would have fallen into Zi's trap.

"I heard a noise here just now... There must be someone hiding here!"

A steel helmeted delinquent walked up the stairs carefully. After entering the building, she slowed down her steps, but she obviously didn't realize that she had been discovered by the sharp-eyed Zi.

As he walked up the stairs to the second floor, the bad guy's eyes met the laser tripwire of the Broadsword mine. In that instant, the bad guy immediately relaxed his body and let his chin make close contact with the stairs: "Ku——!"

Boom! !

The moment Bad's chin touched the stair, the broadsword lodged in the stairwell rang loudly, and the blast of air pushed the steel balls deep into the wall opposite. If Bad hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been taken away by the broadsword in the next moment.

"Fortunately, my aunt hid quickly..."

Just as Buliang was congratulating himself for his quick reaction, Azusa and Hifumi, who were ambushing at the corner of the second floor, turned around and said, "You can't hide from this!"

Ta-ta-ta-ta! !

Buliang, who had been lying on the ground in a messy position to avoid the first wave of ambush attacks, was unable to stand up and fight back quickly. His back was exposed to the ambushers' guns and he was easily taken down by the combined attack of Azusa and Hifumi.

"This is the double ambush tactic." Zi proudly put his hands on his hips and snorted, "I'm an expert in street fighting."

"The battle situation is starting to become clear!" Shiyin, the announcer in the helicopter hovering in the sky, reported loudly to the camera: "Ten minutes have passed since the battle, and the first wave of fighting has ended!"

"Due to the sudden random teleportation, forty-five people have been eliminated! Most of them were eliminated because they failed to find their teammates at the beginning and were surrounded, or because they were defeated by stronger opponents!"

With the end of the first wave of encounters that had just landed, the situation on the battlefield temporarily ceased as the number of people decreased. During this period, the participating students gradually grasped the key to this battle royale -

Collect items, find teammates, avoid getting caught in fights with multiple teams, and also, be aware that the safe zone is shrinking from now on.

"That's the shrinking safety zone."

Hoshino had just concluded a tussle within the housing complex. Her shotgun and shield combination was perfectly suited for attacking in this terrain. Simultaneously, she and Baizi had also joined forces. The combined might of the Kivotos, like veteran Qing Dynasty soldiers with their backpacks, annihilated countless enemies wherever they went!

Bai Zi looked up at the horizon and saw a distinct orange curtain moving in one direction. That was the 'elimination zone' where all the contestants were forced to leave. From their previous experience, they already knew the rules of this elimination zone.

Hoshino opened his eyes and asked Baizi beside him, "Baizi-chan, do you prefer the tactic of recovering health outside the circle, or the tactic of entering the circle early?"

"Of course we'll take the initiative." Bai Zi nodded slightly, glancing at her shield value, which had evolved to purple. The bright 400/400 value gave her confidence. "Based on the direction of the shrinking circle, we can lock onto the center of the circle in advance. An early ambush is more suitable for us."

"Woo hey~~ You're really worthy of being Baizi~" Hoshino nodded and said with a smile: "Then, while searching for the location of the other companions, move forward to the inner circle~"

On the other side of the resort, Ruo Zao, wearing a fox mask, dodged the attack of the white-haired girl opposite. Looking at the melted marks on the ground caused by the high-energy laser, she couldn't help but frowned and looked at the four metal balls floating beside the other party.

"What a troublesome weapon! Is this your weapon? It's not even a gun."

"Haha~ Of course we have guns and other things, but I personally prefer this kind of floating gun."

Star Tianqin lifted her long hair and reached out to take out a gashacon mace from her game field. As a collapse source body that inherited the data of Danrito, she still had the basic data of gashacon weapons.

"But there's actually no need for the two of us to fight."

Tianqin dodged Ruozao's shot by moving sideways. "That was a close call. Even here, I have to abide by the rules. I'm sure nothing will go wrong, but if I'm eliminated, I won't be able to observe the unique aspects of the Chronicle game up close."
