Chapter 223: First Blood
The day of the preliminaries has finally arrived. Every participant has received a virtual helmet, and it has been debugged by the staff. As long as they put it on at the right time, they can enter the virtual scene.
So the contestants basically stayed at home, waiting for the competition to start.
The World War God Alliance has issued a notice that the competition will start at 10 am.
This War God Contest has attracted worldwide attention, not only from the War God warriors, but also from the warriors and generals, as well as the quasi-star realm and star realm masters.
Governments around the world are watching, and so are militaries around the world.
The people in the church were so focused on the masters of their religion that they even stopped attending church services on Sundays.
Even ordinary people were affected. Schools were closed, factories were on holiday, and everyone was paying attention to the situation in the God of War Arena.
Although the world of warriors is extremely far away from them, this battle can affect the rankings of various countries in the World God of War Alliance.
The role of the God of War Alliance is to support each other. If any country is attacked by mutant beasts, members of the God of War Alliance from other countries have the obligation to provide support.
This ranking has a huge advantage, that is, when a mutant beast siege occurs, the countries ranked higher can issue a priority right of use.
Of course, all the war gods registered in the War God Alliance are used. For example, if China and the United States are attacked by mutant beasts at the same time, and China's ranking is ahead of the United States, then the advantage of the ranking will be reflected.
Except for the registered gods of war of China and the United States, the gods of war of other countries will be used and deployed by China first. The Americans can only wait until China has selected their own people, and then they can choose the rest.
Moreover, the higher the ranking, the more say one has in all matters, not to mention when it comes to matters of honor. Every country must compete for this God of War Arena.
If you rank at the bottom, you will be miserable. You will be ordered around by others every day, and you will not get any good things. The gods of war who participate in the competition will be sprayed to death by the people.
Therefore, the public is extremely concerned about the contestants. These days, they study the strength of the war gods at home when they have nothing to do. Many people even come up with seeded players and key players. The book that Lin Zhen saw was made by these people.
Huge screens have been erected in the streets and alleys of each base city. Although they cannot broadcast the specific combat situations in the virtual world, one thing they can do is possible.
That is the list of qualified players and the list of eliminated players.
According to official statistics, there are more than 30,000 war gods participating in this battle, but only 1,024 people can advance in the end. In other words, only one in 30 war gods can advance, and the rest will all be eliminated.
Fighting is not prohibited in the Garden of Heaven, and it is even encouraged. This is not the real world. Being killed just means being eliminated. People from every country have this mentality before the start of the game. When you see the war gods of other countries, don't think about anything else, just kill them.
There are three lists in total on these electronic screens.
The first list was naturally the promotion list, starting from the first place all the way to the one thousand and twenty-fourth life. Whenever someone arrived at the garden hut and occupied a position, their name would be displayed here for everyone to admire.
The second list is the big list, where all the gods of war can be found. Whenever a god of war is eliminated, his name on the big list will turn gray, indicating that he has been eliminated, so this big list is also called the elimination list.
The third list is called the kill list. As long as you kill someone in the virtual world, your kill count will increase by one.
Whenever someone advances or is killed, it will be displayed on the big screen to remind everyone who has killed who.
No one wants to be the target of killing, everyone wants to kill others, so no one wants to be on the mountain climbing elimination list.
In addition, all the gem fragments obtained in the Garden of Heaven will automatically belong to the other party if you are killed, and you cannot take them out. Only those who have successfully advanced to the God of War, or those who have collected enough gem fragments and voluntarily choose to quit, can go outside to exchange the gem fragments.
Of course, this gem fragment is virtual, and the virtual system will automatically record the number of gem fragments you obtain.
Even if there is no hatred, gem fragments are a great reason to kill someone.
Recently, there is a topic that has become extremely hot.
That is, the first blood!
Who can draw the first drop of blood in the virtual world?
There are seven countries and tens of thousands of war gods. It is safe to say that countless war gods will be eliminated from any country, but whoever is eliminated first will be in disgrace.
He will be remembered and laughed at by people all over the world. Even if he advances to the Star Realm in the future, people may still say, "Look, this guy was the first one to be eliminated in the God of War Arena. A piece of trash can actually advance to the Star Realm. There is really no way to reason with him."
Many people even started betting on which country would be eliminated first.
In this gambling game, China has the lowest odds, because first of all, China has a large population, and their quality varies, so they can easily be defeated by masters from other countries.
Some even used Lin Zhen as an example, "That kid from Ice City is only a Level 3 War God, and he is likely to be eliminated."
In particular, the Northern God of War of Tsarist Russia, Horlov, and the Three Warriors of Tsarist Russia all expressed that they would show no mercy to the Chinese warriors. Horlov even said in person that he wanted to kill a Chinese warrior and get the first blood. After that, this issue was hyped to a peak.
If we were to choose the one who is most likely to be eliminated at this time, then Lin Zhen’s chance would definitely be the highest.
Because everyone knew that Lin Zhen killed the Tsarist Russian warrior Ivan and was the target of Tsarist Russia. Being targeted by a big country, he would naturally be the first to be eliminated.
Although this possibility is still very small compared to so many warriors, many people on the streets would joke that if a warrior could reach Lin Zhen's level, he could really commit suicide by banging his head against the wall.
Not only Chinese people say it, but people in Tsarist Russia also say it, and people all over the world say it.
As the topic of first blood became more and more popular, the World God of War Alliance even temporarily introduced a policy that whoever kills the warriors of other countries first and gets the first blood will be rewarded with a top-grade star weapon, which can be obtained by drawing after he comes out!
Of course, this is only limited to the first time, if you are 0.1 second away from completing it, you will not be able to get this reward.
Everything will be displayed on a big screen and people will be watching, so there is no way to cheat.
So besides paying attention to the promotion list, elimination list and kill list, people also pay attention to the first blood.
As the race time approached, all the contestants put on their helmets.
Lin Zhen also put on his helmet at home, waiting for the game to start.
Soon, a countdown appeared before my eyes: "10, 9, 8, 7,..."
When the time reached one, a white light flashed before my eyes and the picture suddenly changed!
All the surrounding scenery disappeared, replaced by a colorful world.
A garden, a garden that has been magnified countless times!
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the spring breeze was warm, the air was fresh, and waves of fragrance from flowers, plants and soil wafted in, making all the contestants feel relaxed and happy.
If you look from high up, you can see that the garden is circular, with the outermost circle being a grassland that is hundreds of kilometers wide.
After crossing the grass, there is a fence wall. The fence wall is almost as high as the sky, and there is a layer of yellow light on it. It is impossible to fly through it, or even teleport through it.
Only by passing through the gap in the fence below can you truly enter the garden.
Behind the vast sea of flowers that is dozens of miles wide, a moat-like stream surrounds this garden cottage.
Of course, this small stream is a big river to an ant-like warrior, and with its turbulent waves, it is definitely not easy to cross it.
After crossing the stream, the end point is inside the garden hut.
White lights flashed, and all the contestants were randomly teleported to an edge of the garden.
The garden is very large, and more than 30,000 people were teleported in, but many of them couldn't even see anyone else around them.
Because it is random, of course there will be many people around them.
For example, Lin Zhen.
Before Lin Zhen could see the surrounding environment clearly, a figure appeared in front of him, and he was facing Lin Zhen, almost at the same time.
There were only two of them within a radius of hundreds of meters!
The warrior opposite was tall, with a full beard, wearing a star armor, a necklace around his neck, and holding a sword in his hand.
Lin Zhen recognized this man at a glance. He was one of the three warriors of Tsarist Russia, Adolf from the Far East! Adolf also recognized Lin Zhen at a glance. Although Lin Zhen was not listed in those books, as a target that Adolf wanted to kill, how could he not know Lin Zhen?
Adolf's eyes suddenly lit up: "God, you actually gave me, Adolf, such a good opportunity to become famous. Lin Zhen, go to hell!"
Without any pause, the two men started almost simultaneously and collided head-on!
Lin Zhen has read Adolf's information. He was born with supernatural power and speed. Although he was not a mentalist, he wore a low-grade mental defense star necklace around his neck.
The inferior spiritual defense star weapon was not completely sufficient to withstand the spiritual impact of the late Dark Gold Realm, especially since this person was not a mind master and had low spiritual power, yet he was restrained by Lin Zhen!
Mental shock!
A stream of mental power rushed out and hit Adolf's spiritual sea of consciousness. Although he had the defense of the star weapon, Adolf still paused! He instantly had a headache!
Lin Zhen's figure flashed and teleported!
He went straight behind Adolf, swung his Overlord Spear, and stabbed him in the back!
"puff!"
A stream of blood rose into the air. Adolf's neck was pierced. His body twisted unwillingly, but he was still judged dead by the system and turned into a spot of light and disappeared in the air.
These words flashed across the streets and on big screens all over the world.
"Lin Zhen, the god of war of the Azure Sky Martial Arts School in the Ice City Base City of China, killed Adolf, the god of war of the Storm Martial Arts School in the Far East Base City of Tsarist Russia, and got the first blood!"
The whole world was quiet at this moment.
