Chapter032
Shi Jiu received a message from the production team that the holiday was about to end and the second elimination round was about to begin.
There was only one day left, and she spent that night drinking in her room. Her room had not changed much and was still the same as she remembered.
Shi Yan told her that since she left, her father never allowed anyone to mess with her room. Everything was in its original place and no one dared to move it.
In the evening, when Shi Yan came back, he noticed Shi Jiu tidying up her game cabinet in her room.
The gaming console she used before was one of the best in the galaxy, a birthday present from her father when she turned eighteen. It hadn't been used in five years, and the game console needed a little tweaking.
Seeing Shi Yan coming back, Shi Jiu finally put down all the tools in his hands.
"Are we going to enter the game tomorrow?" asked my brother.
"Um."
"If you feel tired, you don't have to participate." Shi Yan said softly, "You never liked participating in things like this before."
Thinking of the past, Shi Jiu smiled gently.
She used to be in poor health and couldn't go out to play often. But she did prefer to stay in the lab more than going out to play.
But looking back now, it was still fun to be with my teammates. Both Jin Meng and Gu Jie were interesting people.
"I want to join, brother."
Shi Jiu thought of a figure, "I also have an agreement with someone."
Shi Yan's gaze paused, "With whom?"
Shi Jiu was silent for a moment, "I saw him."
“.......”
"Ash?"
"Um."
At eight o'clock on Saturday night, many people sat in front of their laptops and opened the same interface.
【Welcome back, trainees! 】
The show began with the host's voice.
There aren't as many trainees in the game hall now as there were before. After the last elimination round, only 200 trainees successfully advanced.
【First of all, congratulations to all the trainees for their successful advancement】
【Congratulations on reaching our second elimination round! 】
When they heard that they had directly entered the knockout stage, everyone was whispering in disbelief.
"Is this true? Are we going to start the elimination round right away?"
"We still have more than ten days of preparation time for the first elimination match. Is that all gone now?"
"Oh my god, this is so exciting??"
[Yes, you heard it right. There is no preparation time this time. We will directly enter the elimination round!]
[Of course, before the knockout rounds begin, we will first announce the rankings after the first knockout round.]
"hiss."
When they heard that the rankings were about to be announced, everyone subconsciously took a breath.
Starting to get nervous.
The ranking order is announced, which means some people can be promoted and some may be demoted.
[Also, the number of trainees in Class A will be ten this time]
"ah??"
“So little?”
"Isn't this exactly the number of people who will make it to the debut stage?"
“It’s exciting.”
Shi Jiu wasn't particularly interested in her ranking; she just wanted the game to start quickly and for the host to stop talking nonsense.
"Ajiu, I think you can be promoted to Class A this time." Jin Meng was sitting behind Shijiu. She leaned over and whispered to Shijiu.
Jin Meng: "Have you checked your ranking?"
Jin Meng: "The last time I looked, you were already ranked ninth!"
"Ninth?" Shi Jiu was puzzled.
"You haven't been paying attention to your ranking, have you?" Jin Meng asked in surprise, eyes slightly widened.
"There have been some things going on at home these days, so I've been very busy."
Just as Shi Jiu finished speaking, he heard a familiar male voice not far away. The voice was slightly sarcastic: "Are you busy dating the CEO of the company?"
The person who spoke was Yu Sihan, who was not far away from her. He had spoken loudly just now, and now all the trainees around him looked over.
"So she is Shijiu, is she really having an affair with Shiyan?"
"I wonder if you saw the trending searches that day?"
"Oh my god, if this is true, why would he participate in this show? With the CEO as his backer, wouldn't he be able to become famous easily?"
"Tsk, why do I feel that the man who just spoke is even less like a good person."
Shi Jiu could bear it, but Jin Meng, who was sitting next to Shi Jiu, couldn't bear it anymore. Jin Meng rolled up her sleeves and asked, "How can you talk like that?"
As soon as Jin Meng finished speaking, the host's voice was heard:
[Congratulations, ninth place winner, Tokisake from Class F.]
In an instant, the whole audience fell silent.
"No way, the F class is coming up?"
"I guess she really is being kept as a mistress. The chief company invested two million in her a while ago."
"She looks like someone who would be kept."
Jin Meng: “….”
Damn, what kind of bullshit is this!
Jin Meng was about to refute those people angrily, but unexpectedly, Shi Jiu stopped her, "It's okay, don't quarrel."
"Aren't you angry at all, Ajiu?" Jin Meng couldn't help but ask when she saw Shijiu was so calm.
"There's no need to be angry."
"I remember everyone who cursed me." Shi Jiu lowered his eyes and said calmly, "They won't be able to advance in this elimination round."
[Bullet comment]: Ahhh, I just love the way I, Jiu, say tough words! So cool!
[Bullet comment]: Our Ajiu has already written it down in his little notebook, hahaha!
[Bullet screen]: Looking forward to it, the dungeon should start soon, I want to see our Ajiu kill everyone! !
【Welcome all players to the second elimination match, Wasteland Survival. 】
【I wish you good luck. 】
.......
[Your current identity is, alien.]
[Do you need to see your ID card now? ]
Shijiu was now floating in the cold water, the water reflecting the starry sky.
It is night now. Looking up, through a layer of clear floating water, you can see the beautiful and spectacular starry sky. The stars are colorful and there are faint meteors passing by.
Shijiu clearly felt that she was no longer a human being.
She turned into a soft-bodied creature.
【Check】
Shijiu clicked the view button.
This game's dungeon is set on a wasteland planet. This planet is heavily polluted, with various plants and animals undergoing varying degrees of mutation. Human society is in ruins, and alien species are rampant.
Her original identity was a researcher at the Human Base Research Institute. During an operation in the Water and Sky Realm, she was attacked by an alien species and her body was contaminated and mutated, and then she became an alien creature.
A small transparent jellyfish.
Shi Jiu estimated that her body was now only the size of a palm.
[Bullet screen]: Hahahahahahahahaha, Ajiu actually got the alien book!
[Bullet screen]: Ahhhhh, the transparent little jellyfish is so cute, I really want to poke it!
[Bullet Comment]: Wow, this place is so beautiful! Our Ajiu is so beautiful too! !
The starlight shines in the water, making it very bright.
The water ripples gently.
Shijiu controlled his new body to move, and finally swam to the surface. With a gurgling sound, a small bubble appeared on the originally calm water.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss."
“Click, click, click.”
In the quiet night, you can faintly hear the subtle sounds made by some strange creatures.
Shi Jiu finished reading the profile card and accepted her character introduction. She now naturally knew that this place she was in was the Water and Sky Realm, the most polluted place on the entire planet. Perhaps beauty is achieved at its peak. This place was particularly beautiful, the water so clear that it seemed connected to the distant starry sky.
But the beauty is only superficial. Even the air here is poisonous. If a human were to breathe a few breaths here, they would probably turn into an alien species in no time. Therefore, very few humans come here.
This copy of the game didn't tell her how to become a human again. But based on her experience, she needed to absorb some other energy, and only when she had enough energy could she become a human.
Her main mission this time is to sneak into the human base and find her companion - another little jellyfish.
Shi Jiu was thinking about something, and her body slowly floated to the shore along the lake.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss."
The strange sound was getting closer and closer to her, finally interrupting Shijiu's thoughts. Shijiu subconsciously looked up and met the gaze of two huge eyeballs.
Its eyes are a beautiful dark blue.
Under the night sky, a gigantic alien creature stood on the shore. It was completely white, with faint patterns on its body. Its body was sturdy, like a tiger's, but its head was that of a snake. Its pupils were erect, a predator's posture.
Shijiu: “….”
She's so small, she can't even fill the gaps between my teeth, right?
But the alien in front of her might not think so. His claws were sharp and he attacked her quickly.
Gulp.
Shijiu controlled his body and dived into the water.
For some reason, this alien seemed to be afraid of water - it retracted its claws.
There was another strange sound in the air. Shi Jiu had already hidden in the water. She vaguely saw a huge bird flying over. The bird's silhouette blocked the moonlight, and the feathers on its wings moved in the wind, which was very beautiful.
As expected, the alien species in the Water and Sky Realm are both beautiful and poisonous, Shi Jiu thought secretly.
This time the bird's target was not her, but the alien that had just tried to attack her.
The two aliens seemed to be fighting fiercely. Shijiu could even hear the sound of their fighting. They fought for a long time, and when Shijiu was almost tired of waiting, with two "slaps", the two giant creatures fell into the water.
They were both injured and died.
After confirming that they no longer had any offensive power, Shijiu floated over to them. Not knowing how to absorb it, Shijiu carefully touched the alien's body with one of his tentacles.
The next moment, the alien species turned into a faint light.
At the same time, the system's voice appeared beside Shijiu.
[Congratulations on capturing two alien species. Do you want to absorb their energy now?]
Shijiu: “….”
Of course, you have to absorb it.
But Shi Jiu didn't expect that she would absorb it for three days and three nights before it was finished.
It was also a beautiful night. Small bubbles suddenly appeared in the center of the quiet lake.
In the moonlight, a beautiful girl emerged from the middle of the lake.
