Chapter 133 Chapter 133 An old friend.
Tao Ying checked and handed back all her teammates' brooches.
"Yes, no problem. If there is an emergency, remember to call me as Teacher 127."
Although Bo Mo had used a communicator before, he joined the team relatively late and didn't know the meaning of the markings on the brooch. So he asked directly, "What does 127.0.0.1 mean?"
"It means home in programming."
Lin Biege answered quickly, and then gave Bai Mo a provocative look as if to say, "You don't understand such technical stuff, do you?"
But Bai Mo didn't respond. He just put the brooch into his pocket and complained calmly without any expression.
"I guess you didn't understand it when you first received the brooch."
Lin Biege: “…”
Nan Gua shook his head: "Xiao Mo, you guessed right."
Tao Ying added: "And this is common sense, not a very technical one."
The 180cm tall girl looked left and right, then finally whimpered and jumped into the corner to draw circles in the dark.
"Mom, my teammates bully me every day."
·
After several broadcasts, all the race personnel took up their positions urgently. Looking down from the cockpit, they saw little figures running around in the venue.
The game was about to begin. Tao Ying sat on the mecha and casually attached the 127 communicator to the inside of his collar.
Having said that, this brooch does have a long history.
Tao Ying recalled the past... No, not quite that long ago. To be exact, about a year ago? Back then, they had just entered the Special Mechanical Academy and had no idea how to operate mechas. Just then, their dormitory building was knocked down by a mecha, and in the midst of all the chaos, they moved into their current home.
For safety reasons, Tao Ying made a communicator for each of his teammates.
I thought if it was too inconspicuous it might get lost, so adding a pattern would make it more conspicuous. I happened to look up and saw the door number 127.0.0.1, so I printed it on it.
So much time has passed unknowingly that the communicator has been deeply scratched by the sand.
I miss it a little.
"We've been fooling around together for almost a year."
"What nonsense! We drove our mecha seriously, and we even won the Sky Cup."
"But now that we're here... Winning the Sky Cup alone isn't enough, we have to win the Pro League as well."
"Of course."
"Come on, take first place!"
"We are going to create a new history for Ji Te Academy!"
…
The teams entered the arena in batches, and one mecha after another was launched from the catapult, rushing into the universe like a beast released from a bow.
Amid the cheers of the atmosphere group, the Space Ghost Team was the last to enter the arena.
Tao Ying slowly stepped onto the deck.
Tao Ying stepped on the ejection buckle with his mechanical leg. Thinking that he would have to sit for a long time, he stood up and stretched his stiff body. Then he sat back in the seat and fastened his seat belt.
During the ejection countdown, I chatted with my teammates about some meaningless topics as usual.
"After the game tomorrow, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to have a vicious meal."
"I just want to lie on the couch and pet the cat."
"I want to train."
"Can't you just take a day off? You're such a training maniac... Shadow, what about you?"
"I?"
Tao Ying opened the mecha's field of view to its widest.
Near the rift, one hundred and twenty-eight golden beacons kept flashing, forming a long river of flickering light on the edge of the semicircular stadium.
Something like Chester Star's night.
They had been on the starship for several weeks and were already very familiar with this scene. It was no longer as stunning as when they first saw it.
But the universe is so deep and boundless.
After countless huge mechas entered, they seemed so small, as if they were swallowed by the darkness.
Everyone's heart was still beating fast.
Tao Ying shrugged, came back to her senses, and answered seriously: "Didn't we agree before that after this game is over, we will go on a space trip."
After Tao Ying finished saying this, no one spoke for a while.
It wasn't until the host announced the start of the game that the teammate said hesitantly, "Xiaoying, this sentence pattern is forbidden."
Tao Ying asked curiously: "Huh? Why?"
Lin Biege: "It sounds a lot like a death flag!"
Nan Gua nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I know, I know - when this war is over, I will go back home and get married, right?"
"Also, you must never confess your feelings before a war."
"No kissing either!"
Tao Ying looked at her teammates intently and turned away speechlessly.
"Let's go, Mr. Bai."
"That's exactly what I meant."
Tao Ying set off first, while the voices of teammates were still following in the team channel.
"Shadow, don't disbelieve me, these two flags always work—"
·
"The competition is limited to five hours."
“The first five hours were a free attack on the field.”
"If the timer expires, the virtual arena will send a visual signal to all players and begin shrinking. If a player remains outside the circle, their virtual health bar will gradually drop to 0 over time..."
"Once the health bar reaches zero, the player's score will stop increasing."
During the free time, the radio continued to repeat the rules of the game.
In addition to the Space Ghost Team, other teams were also very excited.
Turantis Squad.
Zhu Xiaorui rubbed his hands in anticipation: "This is the survival mode and points mode in Fire all stitched together. I know it."
Gray Rabbit Squad.
"After this game, I will resign—"
Sky-shaking team.
"Has the system been confirmed?" "Everything is normal."
"Then let's prepare to implement our plan."
After all the players found their respective positions and contacted their teammates, the staff confirmed that everything was OK.
A countdown was displayed inside the stadium, which was wrapped in a semi-arc light curtain.
【nineteen……】
【Three, two, one.】
【The game begins! 】
In the originally empty arena, the virtual projection instantly started up, and tens of thousands of Zergs appeared.
The first thing that appeared in front of Tao Ying was a group of E-level dragonflies.
They fly at a very high speed. Although no sound can be heard, the flapping of their steel wings is enough to show their speed.
If it were the Space Ghost Girls Team from a few months ago, they might have had a hard time keeping up with them, or even felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
But now, E-level Zerg is nothing to them.
"Hahaha, I was attacked by a Zerg during the Fire Seed's tutorial. You don't think you can scare me, do you?"
"During training, we were able to easily cut down D-class Zergs."
"Just a mere E-rank trash, hahaha."
Lin Biege rushed out first, followed closely by Nan Gua, and the battle began soon.
[Contestant Lin Biege, points +2.]
[Nan Gua player, points +2.]
News of teammates' points increasing came on the screen.
Tao Ying stepped on the boulder and swung out the light blade, cutting the dragonfly rushing towards her accurately like cutting tofu. The iron-like wings were cut off in an instant.
The juice from the exploding abdomen splattered everywhere.
The special effects of the dragonfly are very realistic, even the twitching after death is perfectly restored, which makes people feel a little nauseous.
For a while, the comments in the live broadcast room were full of complaints.
"Why are the special effects upgraded again this year?"
"Don't seek authenticity in a place like this."
"This is exactly the same scene I saw on the front line. It must have been instructed by relevant people."
"Stop talking, I'm scared to death, where's the child filter?"
After killing two more dragonflies, Tao Ying stopped when he noticed that Bai Mo beside him had paused in holding his gun for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"This is even more realistic than the virtual program at the Baishi training ground. We can find a way to transplant it to the training ground later."
"I guess you'd say the same thing. I'll give Laiji some money later and help you upgrade your system."
Bai Mo was suspicious: "You didn't write the program for the competition, did you?"
"Oh, no, I'm not that crazy about designing the Zerg. The one who wrote the program is... behind!"
Tao Ying warned him, and Bai Mo's SC49-Breath of Life rifle swung to the side. She lowered the firepower to close range and quickly destroyed the nearby E-class scythe.
The muzzle of the gun was raised and passed by Tao Ying's shoulder, just hitting the dragonfly that was attacking her from behind.
System prompts.
[Player Bo Mo, points +3, points +2.]
[The Space Ghost Girls Team's current total score is 42.]
"Xiaoying, where are you? Let's find a way to reunite first!"
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
Lin Biege and Nan Gua turned around and saw Tao Ying and Bai Mo in the giant sickle area.
Lin Biege and Nan Gua were in the Jiqing area on the other side. In the middle was the location of the thirteenth beacon ship, and a group of A-level Zergs were lurking nearby.
The location where the A-level Zerg refreshed was very unfortunate, right in the middle of them.
It's a giant magma worm.
The giant lava worm opened its fang-filled mouth and sprayed lava out of the cave from time to time.
A-level Zerg is the highest level Zerg in the arena. Killing one will increase your points by 30, and the Zerg Queen will increase your points by 150.
But the opposite of points is strength - sometimes it takes several teams to cooperate to win against A-level Zerg, which is too tiring to fight.
If you are not careful, the mecha will be damaged and the fuel consumption will be too high, which is not cost-effective.
If you accidentally lose your kill to someone else in the middle of a fight, it would be a huge loss.
The other teams shook their heads and left: "It's more cost-effective to go to the B-level Zerg area. Let's go."
Before leaving, he glanced at Tao Ying.
"Their team was separated by the Zerg? What bad luck."
The space ghost team was not disappointed. Instead, they stopped beside the giant magma worm and looked at it carefully.
"Oh, you're an old friend."
"The production is more sophisticated than that of Fire."
"The magma worm's habitat is near a volcano, right? Why is it being assigned to dig a hole in an asteroid? Is the temperature here high enough?"
As soon as they finished speaking, the giant worm seemed to understand what they were saying. Its body suddenly turned red, becoming brighter and brighter, and then hot magma spewed out of its throat.
Tao Ying tilted her head to avoid it. Magma was flying nearby. First, the outer shell hardened into an irregular shape, and then gradually cooled down. However, the hot magma inside could still be seen between the cracks of fiery red color.
Lin Biege: "It's like a sandwich."
"Can you please stop thinking about eating all the time?"
The first dungeon they entered into the Fire Seed was the Fierce Abyss Labyrinth. At that time, there was no coordination among them, and it was very difficult to defeat the giant lava worm.
At the beginning, they were cooperating with Zhu Xiaorui from Turantis, but the wings of the Wusame E driven by Zhu Xiaorui were burned and it overheated and broke down, so the entire giant worm mother, including the swarming sentinel worms, worker worms, and nest-guarding worms, were all killed by the Space Ghost Team.
"I remember that I had to chop off both of its heads at the same time to kill it completely. I didn't know that at first, and I suffered a great loss."
"My biggest loss was probably at the hands of the captain. Someone threw a bomb and blew up the entire dungeon, sending Pumpkin and I to the bottom level!"
Tao Ying: "But in the end, the cooperation was pretty good."
The four of them walked around the giant lava worm, but the road was blocked by A-level Zergs.
It seems that this area was originally designed to be difficult, and no consideration was given to allowing people to pass through it.
Lin Biege: "So what should we do now? Should we earn points by defeating low-level Zergs, or should we just go all out and attack the big ones, and then we'll meet up?"
Bo Mo: "I can do anything."
Nan Gua: "I listen to Xiaoying."
Tao Ying touched his chin and said, "There are Zerg all along the way. It would take too long to take a detour."
"So we can only take out this A-rank giant worm, right? The highest Zerg we've fought in Spark was B-rank. Can an A-rank be defeated?"
The teammates were ready to go, nervous but also excited.
Tao Ying smiled happily: "Of course."
