More and more players gathered at the door of the training room. When they learned that the first players who entered were kicked out, they didn't know whether they should be jealous of them for seeing the true face of that person, or gloat over their misfortune of being kicked out.
"What did you see in there? Did you see that person?"
This game is called 'Battle for the Top', and the top of each different category of leaderboard is called a top climber. Until someone suddenly appeared and successfully topped all the rankings. After that, the title of the top person became his exclusive title. Only the player who tops all the rankings at the same time can be given this title, but so far, no one else has been able to do it.
What could the players say? They only saw a basic mecha and no one at all!
And didn’t they say there were two of them? Why was there only one mecha inside, along with the climber and the handsome young man who was suspected to be his son? And from the previously leaked video, the mecha was able to perform various difficult moves, so it must be the climber without a doubt. So where did his son go?
The unwilling players had no other choice but to wait outside the training room. Even if they had to wait, they had to wait for the players to come out.
Players who heard the news from all over rushed here. Even the extremely large training room could not accommodate the increasing number of players. The crowd was surging, and it was like attending a feast.
Although the number of players of this game has always been ranked first in the game rankings, once there is a great player or an exciting competition, the number of people gathered together will definitely be a very large number.
But it is very rare that they rush here just because of an uncertain news, and there are even many famous big players in the room. Everyone is looking forward to waiting for the people in the training room to come out.
As time passed, there was still no movement from the people inside, but there were more and more people outside. The middle-aged man, who was squeezed like a sardine in a can, regretted more than once that he had spread the news, which led to the current situation.
“I’m also feeling very uncomfortable due to the crowding. Let’s wait a little longer. After all, that person has disappeared for a long time. I won’t have any regrets if I can see him today.” A player nearby was obviously a fanatical fan of the person who reached the summit. Even though he was about to be deformed by the crowd, he still looked very excited.
The middle-aged man was right next to him. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to. There were people everywhere, some even coming from other districts. Unless he went underground, he would have to stay squeezed.
The middle-aged man, who once thought about whether to go offline, looked at the players next to him and suddenly thought: "What if the original player goes offline? Wouldn't we have waited in vain?"
The fanatical player froze and turned to look at the middle-aged man with difficulty. His expression changed from excitement to indifference. "Everyone here has thought of this. They are all thinking that they can come out just in case he is still offline. You are so old, don't squeeze in here, log off quickly and make room for others."
Middle-aged man: “…” Why does everyone think he is old? He was the first person to see that person and his son. If he hadn't posted a message on the forum, how could these people have known about it and come here to compete with him for space.
The middle-aged man sneered and refused to leave.
At first glance, he thought it was a young master with bodyguards, but after analyzing many people in the forum, he firmly believed that the pair was father and son.
What happened outside did not affect the two people in the training room at all. Zhou Zhou learned very quickly and Elvia also taught very attentively.
However, there is still a certain gap between theory and practice. Although Zhou Zhou can now imitate his movements, in a real competition, all situations are changing rapidly and require one to make his own judgments.
"Zhou Zhou, I think you've practiced enough. Do you want to try actual combat?"
"What actual combat?"
“Just go play the game.”
"Ah? I can also play in the competition?" Zhou Zhou was obviously a little surprised. In his opinion, he just started learning today, and if he wanted to play in the competition, he should become very good before he can play.
"There is a novice training arena here. The players here are all new to mechas like you. It won't be too difficult."
What Elvia didn't say was that most of those hanging around in the novice training ground were children. The restrictions in the Battle to the Top were not as strict as those in the Nightmare City. Anyone over the age of twelve could enter the game, so those who were still hanging around in the novice area were mostly twelve or thirteen years old, young boys who were just starting to get in touch with mechas.
Zhou Zhou nodded. After watching that high-spirited game, he also wanted to give it a try.
The two men came out of the primary mecha, and Elvia breathed a sigh of relief. The space inside was really too narrow. He originally thought that they could improve their relationship, but in the end he was the only one who was upset, and Zhou Zhou didn't react at all.
Alvia pursed her lips and looked down at her account. The high points accumulated in it were still there.
Like Nightmare City, this game uses points to purchase various weapons and equipment. Elvia has accumulated a large number of points but has never used them, so she can buy a mecha for Zhou Zhou.
Although the primary mecha can be used, the better mecha can exert greater power, so he wants Zhou Zhou to use the best one.
After secretly purchasing a mecha at a price that seemed very attractive to other players, Elvia gave the mecha to Zhou Zhou.
It was an ice-blue mecha, shining with icy light, sharp and steady. Even though he knew nothing about mechas, he could still realize that this mecha was extraordinary.
Looking at the smooth lines and sophisticated equipment of the ice-blue mecha, Zhou Zhou obviously liked it very much.
"It just so happens that I have extra points. You can drive this mecha to compete."
Zhou Zhou walked around the mecha a few times, and touched it again, his eyes showing his love for it: "I will definitely win."
Alvia was also very satisfied. He quickly left the training room and prepared to go to the novice competition area with Zhou Zhou.
As a result, when I went out, I was overwhelmed by the crowd.
The normal way to leave the training room is to appear outside the door from inside the training room in an instant. However, there is no place to step outside the training ground now. Zhou Zhou and Elvia, two people who were completely unaware of the situation, were pushed away by the crowd as soon as they came out.
“It’s coming out!”
"The training room is out of use, and you should come out."
"Find someone quickly!"
"I can't see it. There are too many people here."
The flow of people that had been able to maintain basic order suddenly began to surge, just like adding cold water to a boiling oil pan, causing it to suddenly explode.
Fortunately, the moment they came out, Elvia realized something was wrong and hugged Zhou Zhou in time, otherwise the two of them would have been separated by the crowd and no one knew where they were squeezed to.
"What happened?" Zhou Zhou was well protected. He looked left and right in surprise, very curious.
"I don't know." Elvia, who hadn't entered the game for a long time, didn't realize that everything happened because of his appearance. He thought that the rules in the training area had been changed and something important had happened.
He didn't care about any of this and just wanted to take Zhou Zhou away quickly.
But the crowd was overwhelming, and they couldn't get out unless they logged off immediately or beat the person away.
Alvia looked at the increasingly crowded crowd. If they went offline now, it would take a lot of time to bring Zhou Zhou in again. Thinking of this, Alvia looked up.
"Hold on tight."
Before Zhou Zhou could react, he was lifted into the air.
Elvia actually released a small mecha directly in mid-air, and then in just a few seconds, she took Zhou Zhou into the mecha and flew away.
This small mecha was a reward he won in a competition. It is more like an aircraft than a mecha. It can transform into a mecha form for defense and is suitable for aerial combat in complex terrains.
Elvia has collected all the mechas and starships in the game, some of which are even limited editions that can only be obtained by winning the competition and cannot be purchased anywhere else.
So when this mecha appeared, many fanatical fans recognized it as the trophy won by the top climber in a competition a few years ago.
But before they could get excited, they saw the limited edition small mecha flying away.
Players: “…”
"Hurry and chase him!"
Someone shouted, and the large number of players who were staring at the mecha flying away finally reacted and ran in the direction the mecha flew away.
It’s not that they don’t use mechas, but there are too many people here and the mechas cannot be deployed. Only a small number of players who had flying mechas followed Elvia's example and released their mechas to chase after them.
"Don't pick on my mecha."
A player who was about to leave was speechless. He didn't know what the players around him were thinking. They actually wanted to climb onto his mecha. This wasn't a public means of transportation!
As a result, because he moved too slowly, his mecha was crawling all over the players and he couldn't get away.
The other players who reacted quickly drove their mechas to catch up immediately, but although the limited edition mecha looked small in size, its speed was far beyond that of ordinary mechas. Even though this style is a few years old, most players still can't catch up.
A large number of players were left behind again.
Only some of the latest speed mechas purchased at high prices can keep up with Elvia.
All of these people are well-known players in the game now. They have been playing the game for many years, gradually growing from ignorant novices to god-level players. Because they have witnessed the rise of others with their own eyes, their admiration for those who have reached the top is even greater than that of ordinary people.
But why did the legend in their eyes run so fast!
Idol, don't go, I just want an autograph, or we can have a competition, no ill intentions!
It’s a pity that their idols can’t hear their voices at all.
Alvia noticed the players following him. Although he didn't know what they were going to do, there was no way he would let irrelevant people disturb him and Zhou Zhou, so he immediately sped up and went around them, then retracted the mecha in the opponent's blind spot.
When the players caught up, they couldn't find anyone...
Not to mention how many people were howling and partying excitedly in the forum. Elvia was very dissatisfied with why someone always wanted to disturb them. When he brought Zhou Zhou into the novice training field, he was slightly relieved to see that it was not very lively.
After all, most people are just there to watch the game, and the only ones left are real novices who don’t understand the rules of the game and are not even proficient in operating mechas. Naturally, they won’t pay attention to other things.
Zhou Zhou came on the field with an ice-blue mecha, and his opponent was using a primary mecha.
After the game started, Zhou Zhou was ready for battle, staring at his opponent with a solemn expression.
A minute later, the two were motionless.
Zhou Zhou would not take the initiative to attack. He originally planned to wait for the opponent to hit him before defending himself, but after waiting for a long time, the opponent did not move.
He drove the mecha forward tentatively, but his opponent remained motionless. The mecha did not move until Zhou Zhou walked in front of the opponent.
Zhou Zhou thought about it, slowly stretched out his fist, and lightly hit the opponent's head.
The motionless primary mecha fell backwards and hit the ground with a thud.
Zhou Zhou wins!
Zhou Zhou: “…” I feel so unfulfilled.
The primary mecha lying on the ground suddenly made a sound, and a boy with a duck voice said angrily: "Don't think you are so powerful, I just don't know how to operate the mecha yet, I will definitely beat you next time."
Zhou Zhou looked at the elementary mecha lying on the ground and suddenly realized: "You come to the competition without even knowing how to start the mecha?"
This straightforward remark made the proud young boy unable to hold back, and he cried out in a tearful voice: "Just wait!"
After that, the losers slowly disappeared from the field.
Alvia held his forehead and sighed. Who could have thought that Zhou Zhou's first game was like a piece of cake, and he won without doing anything.
Zhou Zhou immediately matched the next opponent.
His next opponent seemed to be very powerful. Of course, this power was mainly reflected in his mecha. After all, that golden mecha looked very valuable.
Zhou Zhou looked at the other party's fancy movements with some confusion. Why didn't he attack?
The golden mecha approached while making various meaningless movements. It may seem dazzling and interfere with vision, but in fact it is of no use at all.
Zhou Zhou just watched the opponent approaching, then suddenly punched out, hitting the opponent in the face, and the golden mecha flew out of the ring.
Zhou Zhou wins!
Zhou Zhou: “…” I really don’t feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
Alvia didn't know what to say. When he was in the novice area, there were many players with a solid foundation. He could learn a lot from his opponents during the competition. How come he became a complete rookie here?
Zhou Zhou turned around and looked at Elvia in the audience. Although all Elvia saw was the cold mecha, he could still see Zhou Zhou's grievance.
He waved to Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Zhou, driving a tall mecha, immediately came over.
"Maybe the system detected that you just registered today, so the players you were matched with are all very easy. Play a few more games, and when your win rate goes up, the difficulty will increase."
Zhou Zhou nodded obediently and returned to the center of the arena.
In the next few matches, Zhou Zhou still knocked out his opponent with one punch.
After all, compared with the novices who were not yet proficient in the operation, Zhou Zhou was extremely skilled and his punching speed was very fast. Many novices who were knocked away by one punch thought that he was a bored player who came out to bully the novices, and they all shouted that it was unfair.
Zhou Zhou ignored him and quickly matched with the next one after defeating one. Sure enough, as his wins increased, the opponents he was matched with were no longer those that could be knocked down with one punch.
At the beginning, Zhou Zhou was still able to win, but later the game time began to lengthen, and in one game, Zhou Zhou finally lost.
After losing, Zhou Zhou was teleported out of the arena. Instead of being depressed, he ran towards Elvia with a red face and said excitedly: "I lost!"
"You're so happy even though you lost?"
Zhou Zhou nodded: "Because he is really good, and I also know why I lost. I will definitely not make the same mistake next time."
Elvia nodded. She originally wanted to tell Zhou Zhou that losing in the game was not a big deal, as long as the problem was found and corrected. However, losing in real life could mean losing everything.
But he didn't say it in the end. He didn't want Zhou Zhou to be involved in these things, so he just left it to him.
"Al, can we go back?" Zhou Zhou suddenly asked.
"What's wrong, don't you want to play?"
Zhou Zhou nodded, then shook his head: "I still want to play, but the little octopus hasn't been fed yet."
The octopus that Zhou Zhou raised in Nightmare City? He originally wanted to say that he wouldn't die if he didn't feed it, but seeing Zhou Zhou's serious look, he didn't say it.
They have indeed been out for a long time and it is time to go back.
After all, the time for the battle to the top is the same as that in the outside world. It can be said that Zhou Zhou has been playing in the game for a day and a night, and it is time to go back and rest.
When the two people went offline, the players who found their traces again rushed here frantically, but they were destined to miss the two people and could only watch them go offline and disappear.
"No!!!"
The player running in the front shouted miserably and stretched out his hand to stop the two people.
But I still didn't catch up.
Elvia and Zhou Zhou had already returned to the bedroom. The moment Zhou Zhou went offline, he saw many players running towards them, and their eyes seemed to be staring at them closely.
"Maybe there's some activity recently." Alvia said casually. He had guessed it after encountering large groups of players on several occasions. After all, he was already very famous before he quit the game. He just didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be people who remembered him.
Elvia was very confused, not knowing that he had become a legend.
"Can we still play tomorrow?" Zhou Zhou asked expectantly.
"Of course, there are many other games, you can try them slowly." Alvia's expression was gentle. After regaining his original appearance, he was like an ice-blue gem, only blooming his most stunning side in front of specific people.
Zhou Zhou couldn't help but stare at Elvia's face again. She was really beautiful.
Zeus showed up at this very unpleasant moment.
"Zhou Zhou Zhou, are you having fun?"
Zhou Zhou, who was attracted by the sudden appearance of Zeus, immediately smiled and said, "Very happy!"
"What game did you play?" Zeus asked curiously.
Alvia glanced at him. Shouldn't he know best where she had been?
"I went to the summit battle, and I also learned how to drive a mecha, and also, there is a dating game."
From the order of Zhou Zhou's intonation before and after this sentence, we can hear his different attitudes towards the two games.
Zeus said hypocritically, "Really? It seems that you are not happy in the love game. If you go with me, there will be no such mistakes. The production company of that love game, because the previous conventional love games have always been tepid, did the opposite and made such a crappy game. Unexpectedly, many people played it, and most players even gave it the highest score and recommended it to their friends. Alas, each one is more crappy than the other."
At this point, he glanced at someone secretly: "Whoever recommended this game to you has bad intentions."
Zhou Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After all, Elvia herself didn't expect that the love game would end in a be for everyone.
But this is not a love game. A real love game is about being together, living together.
Just as Elvia was about to give Zeus some "love education", Zeus, who was well prepared, changed the subject.
"Zhou Zhou, I updated Nightmare City while you were away."
Zhou Zhou was stunned. Update? How to update?
"Because you are the first player in the game to reach one million points, we have to make a server-wide announcement. Do you want to change your title?"
Is he the first one? That’s not right. Molan, Locke and the others are already intermediate players. They should be the number one.
When Zhou Zhou asked, he learned from Zeus that because Molan and the others had upgraded during the internal test, they could not be counted. Moreover, they can only participate in dungeon design now and cannot do dungeon tasks like normal players. To be more precise, they are now half employees of Nightmare City.
Unlike players like Zhou Zhou who meet the conditions after the server is launched, Zhou Zhou can both complete tasks and design his own copies for other players to participate, with greater freedom.
Moreover, in the copies designed by Zhou Zhou in the future, the designer will also put his name on them, allowing players to choose freely.
Therefore, the name Zhou Zhou is going to choose will be known to all players.
"Can't I continue to be called Zhou Zhou?" Zhou Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with everyone knowing his name, and he didn't want to give himself any other name.
"That's fine." In Zeus's opinion, this matter was unimportant.
"Well, I'll send out the notice now."
This was originally planned. After a player reaches one million points, the new gameplay will be synchronously transmitted to all players. At the same time, the name of the first player to upgrade after the server is launched will also be known to everyone.
Nightmare city.
Whether it was players wandering around or players struggling in horror dungeons, they all received the message at the same time.
On that day, the two most frequently mentioned topics in the Nightmare City forum were about the new gameplay available in the game and the name of a certain player.
This player named Zhou Zhou successfully upgraded to an intermediate player because his points exceeded one million, and he was able to open the game designer section and design his own copy.
One million points!
While most players were still struggling with elimination and negative points, there was a player who reached one million points!
Is this still a human being?
Can I learn from this great god how to avoid being eliminated?
The author has something to say:
