Chapter 173

Chapter 173

Agamemnon Contaminated Zone, this contaminated zone has not been activated in the Dawn Galaxy Group War League for two seasons. This contaminated zone has always been in the official competition-level contaminated zone reserve pool, but has rarely been activated.

On the one hand, the sea area of ​​this polluted zone is very large. Basically 99% of the entire polluted zone is sea area. The seawater is severely polluted, and the pollution value is 6,000 all year round. On the other hand, there are a lot of large and ferocious pollutants in the sea area of ​​this polluted zone. Class A pollutants are everywhere, and there are also Class S pollutants in the late night areas that are more difficult for the alliance to monitor.

This contaminated area may seem to have a simple terrain, but it is far more dangerous than other contaminated areas.

Jiang Simiao told KID and the others about the situation of the Agamemnon Starfish: "We really have to use all our resources this time. You know that Gale is a big player in lightning weapons. You have also fought against Black Crow before. His main attack guns use ice weapons... Let's not consider the abilities of the weapons for now. Just based on their expertise in this type of combat, combined with the water map, it will be difficult for us to gain a ranking."

The ranking competition of the Dawn Galaxy has always been held in the same pollution zone, with the top 8 teams competing for the ranking.

Simply put, it is a melee among 8 teams... In this year's melee, one of the top four teams was missing, BZZL1, but strong teams like Gale, Black Crow, and YDS are still there. In addition to them, the other mecha teams that made it to the top eight are also quite strong.

Now, there is less than half a month left to the ranking competition. Their KID's arsenal only has the batch originally prepared by Ying Chenlin. The several energy crystals obtained at the appreciation meeting this time cannot catch up with the galaxy ranking competition in terms of design and casting time.

The disadvantage of combat readiness became obvious in the ranking matches. Other teams could adjust their weapons, but they could only continue to use the original batch of weapons.

“But you don’t have to feel any pressure.

Use too big. "Shen Xingtang paused," We have already secured a place in the top eight. We will strive to get a higher ranking in the ranking tournament. We don't necessarily have to go head-on with a strong team like Jifeng. ”

In the first year of the new competition system, they were able to return to the top 8, which is a very good result.

Although Shen Xingtang said this, the other members of KID did not relax at all after hearing it.

People are greedy. Once the goal is enlarged, KID's mecha technicians only want to do better.

For the next half month, even without Jiang Simiao's supervision, KID's mecha technicians voluntarily went to the training room for training. All the racing-level mechas in the maintenance room have been repaired. Repair is one thing, and several of the mechas have been equipped with new weapons.

In the blink of an eye, it was only a few days before the ranking tournament. Sponsor Boss Zhou was also going to watch the tournament in person this time. He took all of KID's people on a private spaceship, saving KID the time of scrambling for discounted spaceship tickets and squeezing into a small cabin. Shen Xingtang knew about this and deliberately made the sponsor's billboards several sizes larger.

-

Among the three major competitions in the Dawn Galaxy, the most grand one is the ranking competition.

Last season's competition was forced to be suspended due to the black hole incident in the promotion match, and was suspended for almost a year. Now it has been exactly two years since the last ranking tournament was held. Before the ranking competition started, a large number of spectators had already gathered in the auditorium outside the Agamemnon Starfish venue. The seats were packed, and the cheers from fans of various teams were overwhelming, with noise everywhere.

As usual, KID posted an official pre-match blog after arriving at the scene. No one complained about the identical photo-taking stance, but what is worth complaining about is that KID has a deep love for his sponsor Jianheng Technology. Even the background of his departure photo was not the beautiful Agamemnon starfish, but a billboard of the sponsor Jianheng Technology.

A group of mecha masters walked into the ranking competition venue in high spirits. From the layout of the venue to the scale of the venue, it was obvious that the competition was grand. After all mecha masters have completed registration, it is the turn of each participating team to enter.

"Old Zhao and the others are in the front." Ji Qingfeng looked over and found that they were positioned quite close to the front of the queue.

Jiang Simiao: "We are the first in Group A. Black Crow has to rank behind us... But you guys better be careful today. The leaders of the Dawn Alliance are sitting on the rostrum in the ranking competition!"

Lin Yao jumped high and looked forward. After landing, he asked, "Ah? Sanshui, are you afraid of the alliance leader?"

Jiang Simiao was speechless, "Do you know why Agaman was chosen for this game?!"

Before Jiang Simiao could say a few more words, the announcement outside the venue came to KID's turn. Huo Yan, who was walking in front, gave an order, and everyone immediately followed Huo Yan out.

"Friends from all over the Star Alliance, the First Star Region Dawn Galaxy Team Battle League quarterfinals ranking match will begin in an hour. This is the official live broadcast room, and the competition area is the Agamemnon Starfish Polluted Area of ​​the Dawn Galaxy." The commentator in the official live broadcast room looked towards the competition venue, "The team coming towards us now is the third-ranked team in the promotion match, Team KID—"

They were all wearing red and white uniforms, but when they walked out, they were of different heights and there were people of all ages.

[I don’t know why, but every time Kid appears I feel like laughing. 】

[I've been following them for several months, why don't they line up when they appear? ? ? 】

[Isn’t this concave?] The tall ones are outside and the short ones are all inside. 】

Lin Yao walked in the crowd, squinting his eyes and looking out: "Why did I see a sign saying seafood?"

"What seafood?" Ji Qingfeng only saw his ID. "I saw my fans. The light board is really big."

Luxi: “A little nervous.”

Jiang Simiao consoled her before the game, "It's okay if we can't win. Don't be nervous. At most, we can get more pollutants to make up for our losses."

Huo Yan laughed a few times: "Let's relax. If we lose, we can come back next year."

The director's room turned the camera toward KID, and the cheering sign next to KID had changed to a new style.

On Starnet, the audience watching the game have become accustomed to KID's special order-based support, and many people even laughed out loud when they saw this kind of support.

[This is so funny. Does KID have any sense at all?] 】

[I started laughing as soon as I saw the division was Agaman. I suspect the Alliance is deliberately targeting us. 】

[Then we have to release Agaman as well, right? Didn't you see these eight teams? Which one has less firepower? ? 】

[This year's competition is so demanding on terrain that the Alliance even brought out a dangerous-level competition area like Agaman. 】

The camera follows each of KID's mecha divisions until they reach the rest area.

The KID lounge area is Jianheng Company’s chief promotional location, with an excellent composition and layout. When the on-site camera scans the KID lounge area, you can see the extremely large promotional advertisements.

The pre-match entrance ceremony went by very quickly, and soon all eight teams completed the process. Next came the mecha division and maintenance technicians.

The maintenance engineer for KID in this ranking competition is Shen Xingtang. Grandpa Gu, Jiang Simiao and others are sitting in the rest area. Even Eric, the base doctor who often travels with KID, has arrived at the scene. With one more person sitting in the rest area, the live broadcast room began to calculate the salary of the new face Eric.

Next to the KID rest area were old acquaintances Jifeng and YDS, squeezed between the two large bases. Jiang Simiao just turned around and saw Brother Zhang, the person in charge, walking out of the Jifeng rest area. Seeing this, he said, "Brother Zhang, long time no see. Have you been working out recently?"

"Just barely." Brother Zhang has been training with Ji Feng for some time, and this training cycle also includes the sale of the minerals that Kid collected from the scientific cemetery cave. It would be strange if he didn't lose weight after such high-intensity work.

He greeted Jiang Simiao and his eyes fell on KID's doctor. For some reason, when he saw the man's appearance, he always felt that this person was very expensive.

Dr. Eric noticed the gaze and gave Zhang a generous, toothy smile.

Brother Zhang: “…”

Why are these KID people so weird?

In the venue, the mecha divisions of each team have already entered.

Mecha divisions need to register in the jump zone. After Ying Chenlin enters, he sees mecha divisions from other teams in the distance.

Among the top 8 teams this time, except for Gale YDS, Black Crow and them, the remaining four teams are Scorpion King, Sky Cicada, FQJ and Magician. Among the four teams, except for the Magician which is a new team, the other three teams are from the old top eight or top sixteen of the Dawn Galaxy, and their strength is very good.

The rules of the ranking competition have not yet been announced. No information about the Agaman contaminated zone was provided on site this time. All mecha pilots were announced to enter the cabin after registration.

[The system has entered the preparatory jump phase. The maintenance engineer has confirmed that the mecha technician is now in place. ]

[You have confirmed, the number KID total 6/6 mechas have been confirmed, and the data is loading. ]

After Ying Chenlin clicked confirm, the jump program was implemented. When he opened his eyes again, there was an endless ocean in front of him.

At the same time, a reminder popped up on his vision screen.

[Welcome to the Agaman Starfish Pollution Zone. The game mode is [Seven-Day Race]]

[Loading completed, the rules and task book has been distributed to your system, please check it in time. ]

"Seven-day competition for a spot?" Seeing this competition system, Ji Qingfeng was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it the same big fight as before?"

In the live broadcast room of the Agaman Starfish Contaminated Area, when all the mechas entered the venue, the rules of the seven-day competition were announced, and the audience in the live broadcast room focused on the introduction of the rules.

[Seven-day competition: All mechas enter the Agaman Sea Star contaminated area within 7 days (168 hours). The mecha division must go to the specific seabed flag point in the Agaman Sea Star contaminated area. The team that occupies the flag point will obtain the right to survive. For every 24 hours that the time is reduced, a flag point in the Agaman Sea Star contaminated area will be closed, and the team without the right to survive will be eliminated. The game lasts for 7 days until the last flag point is closed. The team that occupies the last flag point at the end of 7 days becomes the winner. ]

[Please note: This game does not adopt the performance points system. It takes 10 minutes to completely occupy the flag point. The flag point position will be refreshed and reset every day, and the occupation records of each team will be cleared. The flag point map will be distributed to the system channel during the game after refreshing, so please check it in time. ]

In the live broadcast room, the audience saw that the ranking competition did not adopt the usual melee mode, but instead adopted a race for positions. More and more doubts were expressed in the barrage.

Commentator A in the official live broadcast explained to the audience: "The ranking competition system has appeared in the Star Domain Competition. This is the first time that our Dawn has adopted the ranking competition mechanism in the ranking competition. Simply put, the most important thing about this kind of battle is to obtain the flag point. There are a total of 8 teams, and one flag point will be reduced every day. This means that there will definitely be friction between teams during the competition, and there is even the possibility of a multi-party melee."

[Have you grabbed the order?] Why does this game seem easier than the promotion round? 】

[It’s not easy, okay?] This rule is full of pitfalls. Have you not looked at the bottom of the sea? brother! 】

"Many viewers have doubts about the situation of this competition. The difficulty of this competition is definitely not low. The competition area is in the Agaman Sea Star Pollution Area. We can see that seven flag points have appeared on the first day. These flag points are all located on the seabed." Commentator B continued: "There are a lot of pollutants on the seabed of the Agaman Sea Star Pollution Area. If the mecha enters the sea area to fight, diving into the deep sea will test the underwater combat capabilities of the mecha division."

The mecha has an oxygen chamber. In addition to the original spare oxygen reserves, more oxygen is supplied through the mecha body program and the atmospheric environment. This special oxygen conversion allows the mecha's oxygen chamber to be used in multiple special pollution areas, but there is no oxygen in the underwater environment, and the body's gas conversion system cannot function normally.

In other words, if the mecha pilot wants to fight freely underwater, short-term combat is no problem, but for long-term combat, the issue of oxygen conversion must be considered.

The conversion of the oxygen chamber is only one of the problems. The greater difficulty is the large amount of pollutants on the seabed. The Agaman contaminated area has not been opened for several years, and the accumulated pollutants in this sea area are only more. The mecha divisions participating in the competition must not only consider their competitors, but also the problem of pollutants.

[I just checked the location of the flag point, and it is surrounded by pollutants. 】

[No wonder more energy tubes are allowed to be carried in this competition. It's no wonder given the environment. 】

[There are too many traps. Didn’t you see that the location of the flag points is open to the eight teams? That is to say, there may be a situation where multiple teams are competing to occupy a point at the same time. 】

The fight has to take place underwater, and there are pollutants all around. It is possible that multiple teams are fighting for one point, and a fight is bound to break out.

Everyone in the live broadcast room looked at the coordinates of each team's jump, which were basically outside the sea area with the flag points. The locations of the flag points were spread all over the Agaman Sea Star. This planet was not big, but it took a lot of time to fly around it. Differences in decisions and choices would affect the results.

In the Agamemnon Starfish contaminated area, as the rule books were distributed to each team, all mecha divisions had already begun to take action.

Among them, the old top four teams such as Jifeng acted the fastest. When they saw the flag point refresh information, they went to the flag point nearest to them as soon as possible. Not only that, these teams also sent out stealth mechas that were good at reconnaissance to go to other flag point locations to investigate the situation.

In the KID communication channel, when the flag point appeared, Ying Chenlin had already started thinking. While they were moving towards the flag point, Ying Chenlin was looking at the conditions of various sea areas in the polluted zone. The position of the flag point was clear, and for the sake of fairness, the initial position of each team should be about the same distance from the flag point.

Ying Chenlin first calculated based on his own initial position and the flag points in the field, and roughly guessed the possible jump locations of other teams. "We should try not to go to the nearest flag point, as it may collide with three teams. We can set our goal a little further away, and the position of the central flag point may be better."

"Should we look for some places separately?" Huo Yan asked.

Ying Chenlin said: "The first day's flag point

, it is better not to fall behind and separate. ”

[As expected of the top 8, they all move very quickly.] 】

[In this kind of competition system, it is best to occupy a point on the first day, as long as you don’t encounter an opponent. 】

[Then they have to fight no matter what. There must be a team that can't grab the point, so they have no choice but to fight. 】

During the intervals of heated discussions in the live broadcast room, several situations had already occurred in the field. Mechas were flying over the sea, and the energy reactions and mental fluctuations brought about by the flight attracted the attention of pollutants in various parts of the Agamemnon Starfish pollution area. Teams flying multiple mechas were attacked by pollutants on the seabed and had to increase their flight altitude.

There are also flying pollutants in the Agamemnon Starfish contaminated area, and when the mecha rises to a high altitude, it is also vulnerable to attacks by pollutants.

[There are too many pollutants in this polluted area!] ? 】

[It’s okay, this is still the sea surface. We’ll find more when we dive to the bottom of the sea. 】

In the live broadcast room, the audience with a God's perspective watched the whereabouts of each team in the venue. KID was not the only one who would make calculations. Recently, a large amount of pollutants appeared on the route to the flag point. Many teams were forced to change direction. Teams such as YDS, the Black Crow, also changed their routes to avoid too much conflict with pollutants.

Due to the interference of pollutants, the target points of each team began to overlap.

More teams were attacked by pollutants, and those teams that were not attacked by pollutants became the lucky ones in everyone's eyes.

[KID’s luck is too good, right? I haven’t seen any after flying for so long? 】

[I really don’t know how to describe this team’s luck. 】

[…No, this might be bad luck for them. 】

The Agaman Sea is calm and the blue ocean does not look like a heavily polluted sea at all.

Lin Yao used his space stick to stir the water, but he didn't see any pollutants. "Didn't they say that this polluted area is full of Class A pollutants?"

Ji Qingfeng: "It's weird, the data clearly doesn't say that, and the official said the probability of encountering pollutants is 85%. Who calculated this data? Isn't this just bullying?"

He looked at the disappointing sea with difficulty and said, "I'll use the loudspeaker to shout. If that doesn't work, we'll wait until the flag is pointed and then go down to the sea to have a look."

There were several red and white mechas flying close to the ground. The two mechas in the front were splashing water as they flew, which looked like some kind of ancient duck-herding scene. However, there were no ducks and no pollutants in the venue. Perhaps he was not convinced, KID's stealth mecha also used his loudspeaker, but unfortunately, shouting at the loudspeaker did not seem to be very effective at sea.

【What luck...】

[Stop yelling. You can’t yell at sea.] 】

Don’t they know how to enjoy life? 】

[Oh shit, KID is heading towards the central sea area, right?! ? 】

In the live broadcast room, the commentator who was always paying attention to each team noticed the displacement of multiple mecha signals in the God's Eye View Radar.

"Four teams are heading to the central sea area at the same time. There are two flag points in the central sea area." The commentator in the live broadcast room immediately caught up with the situation in the venue. "Black Crow YDS has already gone there, and there are also KID and Scorpion King! At this rate, these four teams will definitely clash."

The audience in the live broadcast room became excited when they saw Hei Ya and KID heading in the same direction.

[Shit, Black Crow and KID are not going to collide at the start! 】

【Stimulate! ! ! 】

【YDS is quite far away, so there are probably three of them. 】

The match at the Science Cemetery ended too suddenly. Black Crow and KID didn't have time to fight each other. It's hard to say whether the other teams could fight, but it would be a shame if these two teams didn't open fire when they met. What's more, there was a Scorpion King team next to them who was also heading towards the same flag point. Three teams were fighting for one point, so they had to fight for one point, right?

Noticing that the distance between KID and the Black Crows was getting closer, the commentator in the live broadcast room also accelerated his voice a bit. He said: "Dear viewers, the Black Crows have escaped the pursuit of the pollutants. They are all heading towards the target flag point. Now the distance between the Black Crows and KID is no more than 10 kilometers."

Everyone's eyes were turned to the two protagonists. As the coordinate points on the God's-eye view radar got closer and closer, a battle of revenge seemed to be right in front of the audience.

[What else does KID play with water? Speed ​​up! 】

[Hurry up and seize the opportunity!] 】

"Oh my god! Here it comes!" The sound of Ji Qingfeng's trumpet was caught by everyone.

[What's coming!] ? 】

【KID, have you discovered Black Crow?! 】

[Is KID so strong?] Faster than Black Crow! ? 】

When several mechas were less than 3 kilometers apart, KID, who was immersed in searching for pollutants in the calm sea, stopped. Then a huge tentacle jumped out from under the water, circled the nearest KID mecha, and quickly pulled a mecha into the water.

Ji Qingfeng: "Hold me, it's so big! Yaobao, come on!"

Lin Yao couldn't wait: "I'm here, don't let it run away!"

The sound of the horn seemed to have lingering echoes. After one of Kid's mechas was pulled down, another mecha, holding a stick high, plunged into the sea in front of everyone.

Live broadcast room: “?”

The excited commentator just prepared to say: "?"

The author has something to say:

I'm late. I'm late.

200 red envelopes are dropped in this chapter, thank you all for waiting for me.
