The game ended suddenly, and the players who were ejected from the game map were also confused.
Is the battle over? But they still don't see any signs of reinforcements?
Is it because there are only 100 players left after being eliminated? It seems not. Under the command of [You Lai Wu Hui], their defensive pressure is not too great, and there are also few players who are eliminated later. It feels like there are more than 100 people left.
No one noticed Su Su standing in the corner. In the subconscious of many people, he had been eliminated in advance.
The rest of the people also didn't think that Su Su could kill the queen worm by himself.
Only Zheng Hui locked onto Su Su's position in the crowd and stared at him, as if thinking about something.
"Master, why are you looking at him? You don't think the game ended suddenly because he killed the queen worm alone?" [Wu Shi Mo] thought he had told a funny joke, and he laughed first after he finished speaking.
"We can't completely rule out this possibility. I didn't receive any notification that [White-Scale Shark] was eliminated." Zheng Hui had been keeping an eye on the elimination list since Su Su left. He was very sure that Su Su was not eliminated until the end of the game.
Normally, the location of the queen worm should not be too far from the competition venue, and now it ended a little suddenly. Zheng Hui always felt a little uneasy. He didn't like anything beyond the variables.
But the other team members didn't think so. They were in a good mood at the moment. After all, under the command of "Go Without Return", they could be said to have won a great victory in this game.
At this point, they had even thought about how to celebrate. When they heard [You Lai Wu Hui] mention the player who always opposed them, they all consoled him:
"It must be that the time for the expeditionary force to recruit new members has come, but the game didn't have a holographic image of this part, so we were ejected directly."
"There's no way a white-scaled shark can beat a female worm. At most, it relies on its speed and ability to escape, so it can last a little longer."
"Yes, White Shark is definitely eliminated this time. Even if he survives until the end of the game, his points won't be in the top 100."
"Let him ignore our captain's advice and just go on a spree relying on his own talent."
"That's right, Captain, you had the highest points before. You also got extra points for the hidden mission this time. Even that crazy woman who made things simple is way ahead of you in the rankings. What else do you have to worry about?"
They were talking excitedly when the system alert sounded:
[The preliminary round is over, and the prizes will be announced next. ]
[The player has come but never returned, discovered hidden clues, unlocked the commander's branch, and successfully led 335 players to survive the brutal war, and was rewarded with 33 points. ]
"Wow, more than 300 players survived."
"That's great, Captain! Now your points are really impressive."
"I heard that the ranking of the preliminary round will affect the semi-finals, which means that our captain has already gained an advantage in the semi-finals."
"I think our captain will definitely take first place in the semi-finals sooner or later."
They were discussing excitedly around the players from the [Chongxiao Guild] who had come but never returned.
The system's prompt once again echoed throughout the hall:
[Player White Shark broke into the mother worm's nest alone and successfully killed the mother worm, causing the worm tribe to lose the mother worm's guidance and fall into infighting, ending the battle early. His strength was unanimously recognized by the judges, and he was rewarded to skip the semi-finals and directly advance to the finals. ]
The whole hall fell silent.
If the previous notification was within the players' expectations, this one completely shocked them.
Most people's first reaction is, Impossible! How could someone use an S-class starship to defeat an SS-class male insect?
Some players thought more about it and wondered if the difficulty of the Worm Nest was too low, giving Su Su a break.
As everyone knows, the highest level of monsters in the game is S-level, but if Su Su gets a free pass by killing a few S-level Zergs, most of the players here will feel dissatisfied.
The most unconvinced were the players from the Chongxiao Guild.
"The one-way commander mission is so difficult, but the reward is only a few dozen points. How can he, the white-scaled shark, advance to the finals?"
"I admit that what he said was quite passionate, but what's the use of passion? Don't you need to use your brain to fight? It's obvious that the SS-level male insect can't win."
"If the white-scaled shark was able to kill the male because of its low level, that would be too unfair."
"That's right. If killing a few S-rank males can kill the queen, then I can do it. We chose to defend based on the common sense that males should be as strong as SS."
When the players were arguing, a projection suddenly lit up in the hall, revealing the process of Su Su killing the queen worm.
The process was not long. From the moment Su Su exposed himself to the male insect to the moment he killed it, it took less than ten minutes. But these ten minutes were more thrilling than anyone had imagined.
Not only were they genuine SS-rank male insects, but there were four of them in total. The first wave of deadly siege silenced all the players who were shouting “I can do it, too!”
When they saw Su Su being swallowed by the Zerg, they couldn't help but feel nervous. Anyone who saw this would have to admit that Su Su's performance was good enough, and none of them could last longer than Su Su.
But at the same time, the players who put themselves in Su Su's perspective also felt a suffocating despair. Four male insects that were much stronger than themselves, and a mother insect as big as a mountain, it was so difficult to survive, how could they finish off the four?
But this is not the end. The next battle is full of twists and turns, escaping, calculating, using, approaching, and the golden cicada escapes from the shell. In the end, he sneaks in with the escape capsule, uses energy as bait, relies on mental positioning, and counterattacks with one bullet.
The players were dazzled by the wave after wave of reversals. Most of them didn’t even fully understand Su Su’s operations. The only thing they could think of was “What the hell?”
A few players understood Su Su's operation, but they only felt more shocked and desperate. Because they found that even if they understood Su Su's operation, they could not do it at all if they used the same starship to fight again.
【Simplifying the Complex】This is how it feels at this moment.
She has always had a kind of pride in her heart. She has been regarded as a genius since she was a child. She has always learned starships faster than others, and her mental power can reach the rare SS. She understands the real battlefield better than others. She has been to the military headquarters countless times, and even some of the senior pilots there who have made outstanding achievements have praised her.
Her goal is far-reaching, she aspires to become a top starship pilot like Qi Hanyi. She has passed by Qi Hanyi several times, she yearns for him, looks up to him, and regards him as a goal and role model.
Others laughed at her for being so ambitious, but she refused to accept the fact. She felt that one day she would be as strong as Qi Hanyi. Compared with him, all she lacked was time and effort.
But at this moment, she found that it was not the case.
Some things are destined from birth, and some people, no matter how hard you try to catch up, you can never see the other person's shadow.
This sentence was said by a former friend of hers. At that time, the friend looked at her with a look of reluctance and powerlessness.
She couldn't understand it then, but now she seems to understand it.
【White-scaled Shark】 is the one whose shadow she can never catch up with no matter how hard she tries.
Her friend therefore gave up on starships and turned to learning mechas, but [Simplifying Things] did not intend to give up. She had already regarded flying starships as the meaning of her life.
So what if I can’t compare to others?
If she couldn't surpass the White-Scale Shark, then she wouldn't. She just had to surpass herself from the day before.
At the end of the battle record, there is a specially marked text: [Due to the lack of consideration when designing the competition, there was no simulation data for the worm nest area in the game. So when it was discovered that some players chose this way of playing, the game party urgently contacted the military. The military temporarily authorized the SS-32 simulation battle map to this game as a partial map of the worm nest. This map is a repaired map of a real extermination operation of the expeditionary force thirteen years ago. In this operation, the expeditionary force destroyed 13 SS starships, 27 SS mechas, 17 people died, and 3 people had mental collapse. Finally, the SS-class queen worm No. 32 was successfully killed. ]
This passage of text left the hearts of those who read the record agitated and unable to calm down for a long time.
Whether it is the players participating in the competition or the audience behind the screen, most of them do not understand the real war. They only know that the game "Star Wars" is made by restoring real battlefield data.
Most of them had naively believed that real war was no more than this, and that the danger of the Zerg was no more than this. However, after seeing this simulated training map, they realized that real war was far more terrifying and cruel than what they had seen before.
Geniuses are rare in this world, and the vast majority of those who go to the battlefield are just ordinary people who are slightly better. They can't perform the kind of amazing operations that [White Scale Shark] can do, and their victories are mostly gained at the cost of young lives.
Everyone was still immersed in the shock of the war, so much so that when the system announced the rankings, they were a little absent-minded.
[The player points are announced as follows. The top 100 players will automatically advance to the semi-finals. The preliminary prizes have been sent to the players' warehouses, please check them in time. ]
[The semi-finals are 1v1 competitions. Players with higher rankings will automatically match players with lower rankings. If the top ten players are eliminated in the battle, they will have an extra chance to revive and challenge. The schedule will be sent to all players in the form of private messages and announced on the official website. ]
【The semi-finals will be held on November 30th, at 10:00 AM.】
After the semi-final time was announced, the competition and live broadcast ended.
The person involved, Su Su, is the calmest of all at this moment.
He quietly logged out of the game, as if the discussions behind him had nothing to do with him.
He didn't care much about the ridicule and doubts from others before, or the surprise and admiration from others later. After all, he and these people didn't know each other, so he didn't care what they thought.
He even didn't care about the reward of advancing to the finals. After all, he was confident that with his strength, he could still reach the finals in the ring match.
Su Su's mind was no longer on the game at this moment. He was walking and thinking. He didn't expect that the map he finally drew was given by the military. No wonder it felt a little inconsistent with the game map.
I haven't seen [Reversal & Ghost] for a while. I was able to kill the Queen thanks to the information he provided me. Next time we meet, I must thank him.
I wondered if Qi Hanyi had seen my final performance, and I didn't know how I could get some comments from him without having my disguise discovered.
I'm thinking of going to Qi's house for a dinner with Qi Hanyi tonight. I'm not sure if the food is good or not, and if the dishes are to my liking. If I'm not full, can I secretly order takeout?
He wondered if the side effect would occur again tonight, whether he could hug Qi Hanyi to sleep again, and if he tried harder, could he get a kiss from Qi Hanyi. He really liked kissing Qi Hanyi.
