Chapter 122 Chapter 122 The chance of advancement is 5%...
After this incident, Mobius disappeared and never sent another clone to bother Tao Ying. I wonder if he finally gave up his grand idea of liberating humanity.
Or maybe it's just hiding like a cockroach.
But Tao Ying didn't care much.
The previous time was an emergency, but strictly speaking, was it her job to deal with Mobius?
Of course not.
It's the work of the Lehmen Monitoring Center.
So Tao Ying mentioned to the Laimen Monitoring Center that they should intensify cleaning and then returned to her daily life.
With the league approaching, her primary goal now is to urge her teammates to hone the DR-Dual Resonance System of the Perception Mecha.
So far, the success rate of Tao Ying and her teammates' double resonance is 90%.
South hexagram 70%.
Lin Biege 30%.
Bo Mo's was as low as 10% of Tangtang.
By the way, this pitiful 10% all resonate with Tao Ying.
In short, people are very worried about the degree of adaptation of the new teammates to the team, but the tight schedule of the competition does not give them any time to be fully prepared.
For the next two weeks, Tao Ying and her teammates almost slept in the training room.
After a few weeks of quick running-in, it was soon the day before the league game.
·
All the contestants packed their luggage and arrived at the port one after another to wait.
After finishing dinner at the port restaurant, at 8 pm, the contestants and their mechas boarded the shuttle starship arranged by the competition organizers on time.
It was already nine o'clock when the rooms were assigned inside the advanced starship.
The next day, everyone went to the indoor square of the Starship Center to listen to the pre-match precautions.
"The first stage of the league will adopt a round-robin format. Each group will be divided into four teams, and they will fight in pairs. After three matches, the top two teams will advance."
"Half of the 32 teams will be eliminated, and only 16 teams will advance to the second stage."
"I'm sure everyone already knows the location of the competition. It's at the 18th Beacon Rift."
"Please sit tight, we are about to arrive at the Rift Starport."
The person in charge said, pointing to the left side of the starship.
After a period of turbulence, the starship docked at the port and a prompt sound came from the overhead broadcast.
The rookie player who was participating in the professional league for the first time curiously leaned on the porthole to observe the situation outside.
"Look, there is a cosmic rift."
In a corner between the Second and First Galaxies, the universe seemed to be torn open vertically, a black rift, surrounded by aurora-like colors. Near the main rift, there were dozens of smaller rifts.
There is a series of ship-shaped beacons in the nearby waterway. The fuel in the center of the beacon burns slowly, and the released light draws a warning line.
The rifts in the universe are areas that have not yet been explored by humans.
Countless nations have sent drones to explore deeper, but no matter how sophisticated the equipment, upon entering the rift, communication is instantly severed, leaving no trace. Ultimately, scientists can only speculate that the rift is connected to other dimensions.
It is said that during the most severe period of the war with the Zerg, some people saw Zerg emerging from the rifts.
But it's just a rumor, no one knows what's inside the rift.
After all, no one who enters the rift will come out alive, let alone dead.
Lin Biege tossed the water bottle in his hand back and forth.
"The Eighteenth Beacon Rift... This naming method sounds familiar."
Tao Ying closed her eyes and explained, "The cosmic rift is divided into one main rift and 127 subrifts. To facilitate starship navigation, the Interstellar Transportation Bureau has set up beacons one by one according to the location of the rift."
"The most famous beacon, the Thirteenth, is close to the main rift. Communication anomalies are frequent, and starships often go missing. It's like the Bermuda Triangle of space."
"What is the Bermuda Triangle?"
"There's a very dangerous sea area on Blue Planet where ships and planes often disappear without a trace. But the reason remains unknown, and scientists suspect it's due to the magnetic field."
Tao Ying opened one eye and asked, "Should you have learned this in the textbook?"
Lin Biege shook his head: "I haven't learned it."
Nan Gua raised his hand: "I haven't learned it either."
Bo Mo: “Not interested.”
Tao Ying shook her hands and didn't dwell on it: "I probably saw it in some Blue Planet exploration documentary. It doesn't matter."
"In short, during the game, try to stay in the core area and don't run around, especially you, Lin Biege."
"Okay, Captain—"
There are still many unexplored locations near the beacon.
Choosing such a dangerous place as the venue for the competition is very consistent with the tone of the "professional league".
·
After a brief introduction to the game, there was the exciting pre-match draw. Numbers flashed on the screen and everyone was eagerly waiting.
The draw process divides each team into groups of four.
The results will determine the opponents for the first three games.
If you are unlucky and the other three teams in the group happen to be strong teams, you will most likely be eliminated in the first game.
Tao Ying and the others found an empty sofa and lay down.
Sitting opposite them was another team. The four members were wearing suits and rabbit ears, and their look was very eye-catching.
They didn't notice the presence of the Space Ghost Team, they just closed their eyes and put their hands together in prayer.
"I hope we don't encounter a very strong team in the early stages..."
“I hope all the strong teams will be placed in the same group.”
"I hope we're assigned to weaker teams..."
"Advancing to the first stage guarantees a minimum prize of 50 million. If I advance, I can slap my boss twice and then resign in style."
"Resign with honor!"
"Slap the leader!"
The Gray Rabbit Team became more and more excited, and all the team members seemed to be energized when they mentioned the bonus.
The space ghost team opposite them were lying on the sofa in a mess. Lin Biege was shipsick, her face was blue and pale, and she was vomiting while holding a basin.
Tao Ying even fell asleep on the sofa.
The members of the Gray Rabbit Team exchanged glances with each other, all with smiling faces.
"If we can be placed in the same group with them, our chances of advancing will increase significantly."
"May the God of the Universe bless you."
"I'm willing to sacrifice a hundred years of my boss's life in exchange for being on a team with the Space Ghost Girls in the first stage."
My friend, you still have to think carefully when making a wish, otherwise your boss’s life will be wasted.
Or is this your purpose?
Tao Ying half-closed her eyes, put her left leg over her right leg, and lay down comfortably.
Lin Biege finally finished vomiting, gargled, and sat on the sofa like a mummy.
Her finger trembled as she pointed at the perverted team with rabbit ears on their heads: "They look down on us like this, isn't it too much? Shadow, why don't you say anything?"
"Yeah, that's too much."
Tao Ying nodded lazily.
The rift is blocked by the planet and is on the dark side, so it cannot be exposed to sunlight. The room provided by the league is not soundproofed well.
Tao Ying couldn't sleep well last night because she kept hearing the disco next door.
My dark circles are very noticeable now.
She looked at the team opposite and said affirmatively:
"Gray Rabbit Team."
The members are all office workers who have worked for many years. Their mecha model is Garcia Electronics' Moon Walker - a small four-legged mimicking mecha that looks like a gray hare. It has high agility, a low center of gravity, and not strong attack capabilities, but it has great endurance.
The mecha model chosen by the Gray Rabbit Squad is very suitable for their tactical style.
They never attack head-on, and are good at harassing the enemy and disrupting their attack rhythm. Hit and run is their most commonly used tactic.
Well, unlike their harmless appearance, the Gray Rabbit Team is a veteran in the arena and needs to be treated with caution.
Tao Ying was about to say something when she saw Lin Biege walk inconspicuously to the back of the Gray Rabbit Team, pretending to press the water dispenser button, and then pretending to be careless and quickly touched their rabbit ears.
Lin Biege jumped back to Tao Ying contentedly.
"Very good. I took revenge on them for underestimating the Space Ghost Girls."
Tao Ying exposed it: "You just simply want to touch the rabbit ears."
"What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who doesn't know the situation?"
"How does it feel?"
"It's so fluffy, hehe. I'm going to buy one and put it by my bed later."
"And you're not savoring it?"
Lin Biege: “…”
Nan Gua fell to the ground laughing.
While a few people were fooling around, the draw results had already come out.
"Group Eight, Teams A, B, C, and D are: Space Ghost Girl Team, Gray Rabbit Team, YES! Team, and mature mechas should learn to lead their own teams."
"After the specific schedule is calculated, it will be sent to everyone's laptop within ten minutes. Please check it promptly."
It's said to be ten minutes, but in fact it's only a few seconds.
Soon, more than a hundred light computers in the indoor square sounded prompts at the same time, and the beeping sounds came one after another.
Tao Ying had read the competition system in advance and had an idea of the competition arrangements, but she still clicked on the message and took a quick look.
Within a single group, there will be one game each at 8:00 am and 2:00 pm every day.
Specific schedule: Day 1, A vs. B, C vs. D.
On the fourth day, A vs. C, B vs. D.
On the seventh day, A vs. D, B vs. C.
The four days between are used for rest and adjustment.
This means they'll face the Gray Rabbit team on the first day, the YES! team on the fourth, and the "Mature Mechs Should Learn to Form Their Own Teams" team on the seventh.
After the host confirmed that everyone had received the message, he answered questions one by one on the stage.
Finally, he said, "In the first stage, each team will go through three games, and the competition will end within a week."
"All teams, please plan and manage your energy well in advance. I wish you all a successful start and may you all achieve your desired results. Adjourn!"
Lin Biege set the competition schedule on his desktop and pinched his nose as he said, "A mature mecha should learn to drive itself... What kind of team name is this? Is the person who came up with it serious? It's so long."
Tao Ying thought to herself, since you named your Labrador the Chanter of Dark Hell, you have no right to criticize him.
But she didn't want to talk about this at the moment, so she waved her hand:
"Just call it the fleet."
The Chengji team was the runner-up last year and is quite strong. The YES team is average in strength and is about the same level as the Gray Rabbit team.
None of the teams in the same group are weak.
Before Tao Ying could say anything, a loud wail came from next door. It was a member of the Gray Rabbit Team.
"How did we run into two strong teams?"
The rabbit-eared social animal grabbed his ears and looked bitter.
"It's over. We definitely can't beat Team Sungji. We can only find a way to get points from Team YES. This is such a tough tournament."
"Is there no way I can quit this year? No."
The tearful complaints of several rabbit-eared office workers were filled with the names of the other two teams, and they didn't even mention the Space Ghost Team.
"These bunny-eared guys seem to be assuming we're going to lose..."
Lin Biege turned his head, and his joints cracked.
"My fist is hard."
Although the opponents in the professional league are indeed stronger, do they look that weak?
After all, we are the Sky Cup champions.
Lin Biege rested his palm on the sofa next to Tao Ying's ear.
"Captain, you've researched all of our opponents before, right? Based on your reliable data, what are our chances of advancing in this round-robin group stage?"
"Um?"
Tao Ying was concentrating on thinking about the competition schedule when she was suddenly interrupted by Lin Biege. She made a puzzled sound in her throat.
"Well, let me calculate this."
As he spoke, Tao Ying lay on the sofa, looking at the dome of the indoor square, and pinched it with his fingers.
Ten seconds passed, Lin Biege's head covered the dome, and his hands tapped anxiously.
"Captain, is it settled?"
"Well, that's settled."
Tao Ying put her hands away and nodded seriously.
"The chance of advancing is fifty percent."
