The attention of the barrage was immediately drawn to the incident, and passers-by began to discuss it.
[What the hell, what is that! Did anyone see it clearly? ]
[Is this a modified starship? The modification is so outrageous that I can't tell what it was modified with. 】
[Silver Dragon, White Scale Shark, I saw his entry information. He is a new player who has just started playing the game for a short time, from the White Scale Guild.]
[I saw him competing in the arena a few days ago. His modified starship uses a swift-like shape, and it is really fast. In the arena, he specializes in kiting others. He has been winning streaks recently and is in the limelight. ]
There were also some supporters of other players who were unhappy when they saw Su Su being the only one to take the spotlight: [Come on, what's the use of having a fast light speed? His starship looks very light. If it is hit by a stray bullet or meteorite, it will be eliminated immediately.]
[That's right, don't brag about your winning streak in the arena. I've been playing from the bottom up and I'm not even in the top 50. Besides, everyone is preparing for the competition recently. Who would waste time in the arena if they are a real expert? He just took the opportunity to bully the noobs.]
[That is, if he comes back without any chance of return, a single flare will send him back to his respawn point.]
When Qi Yue saw someone slandering her idol, she immediately became unhappy and rushed into the barrage to engage in a verbal battle with the group of scholars.
[What is the speed of light? Have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to operate an S-class starship if it wanted to have such a speed? Look at how he turned and how he avoided obstacles. He controlled it so precisely. If it were someone with poor skills, he would have sent the starship flying off track long ago.]
[You said he was bullying the weaklings? As far as I know, the opponent of White Scale Shark in the last match was the Demon King who was ranked sixth in the arena. @Nightmare Castle Guild, look, someone here is calling your guild leader a weakling.]
[The attack power of the light flame is high, but the premise is that it can hit the person. Can you wait for your master to catch up with the person before blowing it? 】
Zheng Hui's Phoenix is not a starship known for its speed. But as the top S-class starship in the game, after the modification, its speed is also at the top level.
After a short gathering, his men gathered a team of 20 people. This team of 20 people and a dozen other players formed the current second echelon, gradually distanced themselves from the more players behind.
[Master, the white-scaled shark has already opened up a gap of twenty stars between us. Aren't we going to chase it?] In the communication channel, a player from the [Chongxiao Guild], [Wu Shi Mo], reminded.
【Wu Shi Mo】 is the apprentice of 【You Lai Wu Hui】. Soon after entering the game, he became 【You Lai Wu Hui】's apprentice.
His stance skills were taught by his master, and he joined the guild by following him. His master was not only good at flying starships, but also good at team leadership. He knew that his master was not just playing games, but wanted to enter the military through this.
【Wu Shi Mo】 had never seen a real starship war. In his eyes, his master was the one with the highest starship driving skills. He believed that his master would definitely stand out in the competition, and then be noticed by the military and shine on a real battlefield.
He did not even think about what rank he would get when he participated in this competition. He just wanted to help his master get first place. He was not the only one who thought so in the "Go but Not Return" team.
【Wu Shi Mo】 had already learned from other people in the guild that the master had once invited this guy named Bai Scale Shark to join the team, but he was rejected and even boasted that he wanted to take first place. So in this competition, he held his breath and wanted to teach the other party a lesson. Now seeing that the other party actually stole the master's limelight and rushed to the first place, he was even more furious.
[Don't worry about him, use the goose formation. ]
[Go but never return] He gave the order calmly and calmly, not being affected at all by Su Su who was temporarily ahead.
Under his command, the team slowly formed into a “human” shape, and changed regularly during the process.
This arrangement can significantly reduce the resistance encountered by the starships behind and reduce the overall fuel consumption of the starships.
That's right. [Wu Shi Mo] felt at peace.
This is a long-distance race, and if the fuel is not arranged properly, it may not even be possible to make it to the finish line.
[White-scaled Shark] What's the point of running fast? The faster you run, the faster you consume fuel. Being light is not an absolute advantage. When it encounters a gravitational field, it will be more disturbed because it does not have enough weight and poor balance.
At that time, if he couldn't hold on to the fuel, he might crash into it and be eliminated directly.
The gravitational field came very quickly and appeared not long after the race started.
When Su Su discovered that the starship began to deviate from its course, he knew that a gravitational field had appeared diagonally in front of it, and it seemed that its range was quite large.
Su Su did not hesitate, and changed direction, choosing to fly around. Although it would take a long time, he would not have to fight against the gravitational flow, and he calculated that it would save a lot of fuel and would not waste too much time.
Some starships that were fast and light like Su Su chose the same route as Su Su, while those starships with high weight and strong horsepower chose to cross the gravitational flow, which shortened the distance between them and the starships in front.
The most advantageous ones are those starships that form a team. They cross the gravitational flow in the form of a team, which is more stable than a single starship without sacrificing too much speed.
After a while, when Su Su came back, he found a team of twenty people in front of him.
A team that goes but never returns.
Su Su didn't have any idea. Racing is fun when you compete with each other. What's the fun if you run alone?
Su Su increased his speed, preparing to overtake.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sped up, the team in front of him also sped up. Not only did they speed up, but they also connected with each other in the form of energy beams, forming an energy net, as if waiting for him to crash into it.
The rules of the game state that you cannot attack other players' starships, but this does not include crashing into them. Using an energy net to intercept starships that are about to pass by is also within the scope of the rules.
The energy network formed by twenty starships has a large range. Su Su simply decided not to go around and followed the opponent's team, choosing a comfortable position and taking advantage of the situation.
"Master, stop it."
【Wu Shi Mo】 felt proud when he saw the starship could only passively follow behind his team. So what if it ran fast? It still had to follow behind obediently.
"Um."
【Go but never return】But they knew that Su Su just wanted to borrow their formation to save some fuel.
However, as long as the other party follows him obediently, his goal has been achieved.
"Let him follow for a while. After 65 star stages, we'll form a pyramid formation and surround him. Do you see the space rift marked on the map? Purgatory will be responsible for pulling people in. We'll get him out right here."
Purgatory refers to the S-class control starship [Purgatory]. Unlike [Void Hell] which only has a pair of hooks and can easily miss, [Purgatory], as a top-level control starship, not only does it have precise positioning anchors that can firmly bind the target to itself and make it unable to escape, but also uses strong interference to temporarily disable the opponent's starship. Its own melee ability is also terrifying.
【Don't worry, Captain.】
The driver of [Purgatory] grinned and didn't care. After he pulled Su Su into the space rift, the opponent's results in this round would be invalidated, but he would be directly eliminated because of a foul.
Like [Wu Shi Mo], he had no intention of entering the top ten in this competition. But unlike [Wu Shi Mo], [You Lai Wu Hui] promised him 100,000, not game coins, but real money. As long as he can complete the tasks assigned by the other party in this competition, he can get it, which is much more generous than the prize money of this round of competition.
The distance of sixty-five star ranges passed in a flash. The starships that were originally blocking Su Su in a net-like manner moved backwards and surrounded Su Su's starships in the shape of a pyramid. Below him, the [Purgatory] slowly approached.
Closer, closer. The driver of the Purgatory stared at the coordinates excitedly, waiting for the space rift to appear right below him before he started pulling people in.
He enjoyed this process very much. He liked to use chains to lock up those S-class starships, watch them struggle, and then destroy them mercilessly.
Of course, not in a place like the arena. In a one-on-one match in that place, players with better operation will pay attention to avoid the attack range of the [Purgatory]. And even if it can be locked, the S-class starship can also use various means to counterattack.
He likes to use complex maps, space rifts, asteroid belts, and orbits where meteorites are about to pass. He likes to use these terrains to kill the controlled starships. This is the real home of the [Purgatory].
Hundreds of pitch-black arrows cut through the air and flew towards Su Su's starship from all directions. When they were about to touch the starship, the arrows opened and turned into hooks, firmly fixing Su Su's starship.
The light swift was caught in the hook and could not escape. It was like falling, being pulled by the hook all the way down.
【You are cheating! 】
On the communication screen of the [Purgatory], an accusation from [White Scale Shark] popped up.
"Pfft..." The driver laughed at the exclamation mark. He seemed to see the panicked and helpless expression of the other driver through this short accusation, which made him feel sincerely happy.
Are you so naive to think that if something is prohibited by the rules, it will never happen?
I cheated, so what? I don't care about being eliminated. What about you? You have a speed that surpasses everyone else and can have an advantage in this round, but I had to pull you out of the game and lose this round.
Surprised? Angry? Desperate?
The hooks retracted, pulling the two starships together, and the alarms screamed, reminding them that they were about to crash into a space rift.
The pilot of [Purgatory] launched an interference attack, causing Su Su's starship to temporarily lose control, and then chose to accelerate, rushing towards the space rift with a clear goal.
He squinted his eyes in enjoyment, his hands had left the control panel, but his eyes were fixed on the target.
Come on, let's fall together.
You lose a round and I take home a huge payday.
Just as the two starships were about to crash into the space rift, the silent Swift suddenly moved.
Oh, the control time is over. The pilot of [Purgatory] thought, after all, they are both S-class starships, and the control time is only a short moment.
But it doesn’t matter. What’s the point of a bird struggling in a cage?
The [Silver Dragon] pulled the power to the maximum, and a sharp blade popped out from between the light wings. The swift spun in the air, and the sharp blade between the wings emitted a cold light, accurately cutting into the connection between the claw hook and the chain, and the chain broke with a sound.
What? This is impossible!
The pilot of the Purgatory stared at the screen in disbelief. What was that? Wasn't the Silver Dragon of the White Scale Shark famous for its speed and long-range attack? This was crazy. Who would add such a flashy thing as a cutting blade to its wings?
[Warning, about to crash into space rift.] The alarm lights up at the highest level red.
The pilot of the Purgatory relaxed. The space rift was already within reach, and falling was inevitable. It was too close, and it was too late to change course now. Even if Su Su's starship escaped the claw, it would be impossible to find its way back in such a short time. The strong inertia would still drag him into the space rift.
But things happened beyond his expectations again. The Swift turned into a forward-facing state and collided once with the "Purgatory", but it was not heavy, like stepping on a fallen leaf. The posture was adjusted immediately, and then it ignited and accelerated, using the force to pass through the space crack and rush forward.
Only the "Purgatory" was left, like a dead leaf that could not escape gravity, falling irretrievably into the cracks in space, being torn apart and shattered.
Su Su looked at the disappearing [Purgatory] with his mouth wide open, his shark teeth arranged in a bloodthirsty arc, his eyes filled with malice, and he was not at all panicked as the other party had imagined.
The other driver probably didn't even think about being eliminated. The tone of Su Su's voice when he sent that message to him was not anger or fear, but excitement.
The excitement of discovering prey.
Since the opponent was the one who cheated first, his shot cannot be considered a foul.
In fact, he also enjoys destroying other people's starships.
