Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Flying Competition
Tang Li didn't know how she accepted the robot. After she sent the robot and the wheat everyone had harvested back home, when she came out again, she always felt that the look Ju Jue Li Zi gave her was a little strange, but also a little clear.
"?" Tang Li was confused. When she wanted to confirm again, Ju Ge Li Zi's eyes had returned to calm.
Weird.
Forget it, just pretend you didn’t see it, Tang Li didn’t plan to ask any more questions.
Fortunately, everyone else is normal.
"Although passing the flying competition will earn you the flying skill, there are extra rewards for placing in the top three," Li Zi said, holding Tang Li's arm as they walked towards the registration point. He glanced anxiously at his teammates as they walked, "How about we compete separately?"
"No need, let's give it a try first," He Biduoyan scratched his head. "I think just getting the flying skill is enough. There's no need to waste time trying to get into the top three."
The words don't express the meaning clearly and the example is nod.
"Alright, I didn't expect you guys to be so unambitious," Li Zi snorted and said to Tang Li, "We'll kill them all in a minute."
"...You can definitely do it. I'll try my best." Tang Li blinked, thinking that she actually had no interest in getting into the top three.
But Li Zi had just been refuted by the other three people, so she didn't want to stab Li Zi again.
Li Zi wasn't so easily fooled. He immediately saw through her hesitant attitude and glared at the three of them. "Hmph, Xiaoli, you've become cunning too."
Tang Li: ...
Fortunately, we had arrived at our destination. Looking at the huge crowds of people at the registration point ahead, Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahahaha, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to squeeze in if there are too many people."
"Let's go, let's go!" Li Zi had no intention of making things difficult for her, but her attention was quickly drawn to her, and she pulled Tang Li inside.
There is no limit on the number of participants in the flying competition. As long as you register within the specified time, you can participate directly.
The starting point of the competition is located in the Goblin Auction House in mid-air, and the end point is near the statue of Lord Soret in front of the service hall. Surrounding the entire Silver Town, the entire sky is surrounded by invisible transparent air walls to form a runway. The runway can be divided into a flat zone, an airflow zone and a vortex zone according to the wind speed.
The flat zone requires players to fly by their own strength. Entering the airflow zone can speed up the flight speed. If you accidentally fall into a vortex, you may be trapped in the huge wind vortex and need to spend time to break free, or choose to leave the state and return to the starting point to start again.
The flight competition stipulates that the first 30% of players to reach the destination will pass. Since it is the first competition, the number of players who signed up is very considerable.
"With so many people participating, even if only the top 30% are selected, it's still a lot. I feel the chances of passing are still quite high." The players are all very optimistic.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like there are a lot of people today." Tang Li was squeezed in the crowd and felt a little uncomfortable.
Is it because no one is going out to fight monsters today?
This is the first time I discovered that there are so many players in their novice village.
"Xiao Li, didn't you check the forum last night? Magic □□ made a promotional video for the upgrade of Silver Town and put out an ad, which caused a huge response. Many people who didn't know about this game were attracted by the ad and wanted to take advantage of the celebration to join in the fun." Li Zi was a little surprised that Tang Li was out of touch with the news. This was a big event in their game after all, but she didn't pay any attention to it at all.
"I was busy preparing ingredients for the food stall yesterday." Tang Li felt very wronged.
"That's right, Xiaoli, what you care about most is cooking, so it's normal that you don't know." Li Zi nodded in understanding.
Participants in the competition can be teleported to the starting point for free. As the first round of the competition enters the preparation stage, countless players appear in the wide square in front of the Goblin Auction House.
The entire Baiyin Town is right under your feet, and the forests and mountains in the distance seem to be within reach. The feeling of being on top of the world is truly fascinating.
"Get ready!" A translucent countdown appeared in the boundless sky.
Feeling the breeze blowing towards her, Tang Li stood at the edge of the square. As soon as the countdown ended, she kicked off with her feet and glided quickly in the air along the route marked by the system.
The sound of the wind whirring sounded beside her ears, and at a glance, all she could see was the incredibly beautiful scenery of the magical continent. Tang Li squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
“Wow wow wow!”
“So fun!”
“Hahahahahaha!”
The players behind him started howling excitedly. As soon as they left the square, the wind blew from all directions. It was easy to get lost if you were not careful. You had to be careful not to be bumped into by others.
Tang Li saw several people around her bump into each other in a daze, and then collectively deviated from their course.
The scene that followed was a complete mess.
Tang Li imagined that the flying competition was one where everyone sprinted towards the finish line like a marathon, but in reality, the flying competition was just most people going around in circles at the starting point.
The first few people who collided with each other were already very optimistic mistakes. Things like a washing machine in the wind, a free-motion pendulum, and a roller coaster with no rules... There were too many of them at the competition site. She even saw players who flew in the opposite direction because they couldn't tell the direction.
Fortunately, after bypassing the chaotic area at the beginning, the rest of the track was relatively normal.
Ignoring the chaotic environment behind her, Tang Li's eyes were only focused on the virtual arrow guiding the direction ahead and the endless breeze that generously opened its arms to embrace her.
"It feels so free." Tang Li felt that she wouldn't get bored even if she flew like this all day.
“Bang bang!”
Two more people collided with each other nearby. Tang Li dodged nimbly and nimbly climbed onto a sudden fast air current, leaving the farce far away.
With two "whoosh" sounds, Tang Li slid a long distance in the blink of an eye.
Being in the wind speed belt, the thrill of flying will be more prominent. At this moment, she feels like a free bird, flying in the boundless sky.
This feeling is completely different from the feeling of flying in the air with the help of tools. It is really fascinating, as if the obsession engraved in the genes for millions of years has been realized. Tang Li thought that she would probably never forget the feeling at this moment.
"It's so fun." Tang Li stretched her body and rolled in the air, as if dancing with the wind.
Unfortunately, the accelerating airflow disappeared very quickly, and Tang Li had to start flying again reluctantly, waiting for the next accelerating airflow.
This cycle continued, and soon the flying competition was already one-third complete.
At this stage, the players on the runway are those with relatively reliable flying skills.
As for the players who don't have the skills, they are probably still trying back and forth at the starting point. However, judging by the laughter coming from afar in the wind, they should be having a lot of fun.
Tang Li smiled slightly and turned her attention back to the next track.
In the following process, vortices began to appear on the track.
If we say that the initial players only unintentionally implicated others due to improper operation, then from the moment the vortex appeared, everyone's hearts began to become dirty.
When people do bad things, they really don’t feel tired at all, nor do they care too much about gains and losses.
At the beginning, everyone was just passively defending against the whirlpools that appeared. In order to do bad things, many players who loved to stir up trouble quickly found the pattern of the whirlpools' appearance in this difficult environment and then took advantage of it.
Compared to winning or losing the flying competition, watching others tumble helplessly in the whirlpool seems more interesting.
Especially if there is a player flying nearby who looks very cool, there will be players who are dissatisfied and step forward to do something bad, under the guise of doing justice.
"Sorry, I'm allergic to people who are too pretentious. It turns out I look better this way, hahaha!" A player who succeeded in his prank looked at the handsome guy struggling in the whirlpool and gave a villainous smile.
Tang Li, who was passing by, couldn't bear to see it, so she quietly kicked him in and sent him in for free to reunite with the handsome guy inside.
"I'm %*~"
They really look like two dancing butterflies, or two pieces of clothing tumbling back and forth in a washing machine...
Fortunately, flying is a non-combat skill and skills cannot be released during use, otherwise the scene would definitely be more intense.
Tang Li touched her chin, quickly climbed up a wind belt, and disappeared from the sight of the two players.
"Xiao Li!" When the competition reached the final sprint stage, Tang Li encountered difficulties in expressing herself.
Tang Li looked back reflexively, then fell silent.
The speed at which this guy flew, and the way he skillfully kicked the contestants into the vortex, showed no sign of his indifference before the game.
Didn't you say you weren't interested in the top three? Tang Li selectively ignored her pre-match thoughts, her heart filled with dissatisfaction with the hypocritical attitude of the person in front of her.
Moreover, this person seemed to be flying so easily, how come he wasn't being targeted?
Well, actually she mainly wanted to win the championship. She knew at a glance that the person in front of her was her archenemy. Looking at the whirlpool that appeared next to the person opposite, Tang Li restrained the dark thoughts in her heart.
After all, we are teammates and we still have to get along with each other. We can't lose our bottom line just because of a game!
Tang Li closed her eyes in pain, and continued to fly forward, pretending to ignore what she saw.
"I thought you were going to kick me in." A faint chuckle came to my ears.
"Who do you think I am?" Tang Li glared at him angrily, trying to hide her guilt by raising her voice.
"Hahaha, okay, I was judging others by my own mean standards." He seemed to be in a good mood even though his words were not expressive enough.
Where's your cool guy persona?
Tang Li silently accelerated, not wanting to get too close to this handsome face.
Being at such a close distance really tests her character, especially when there is a whirlpool around her, and the big guy next to her looks really easy to kick.
"Little pear!"
The familiar call came again, this time it was "Why Say More".
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Li asked, "Where are Li Zi and the others?"
"Brother Ju, it's just an example. He was pushed into the whirlpool by the chestnut, hahaha." He didn't need to say more to really know. After all, he witnessed this scene with his own eyes.
"What about the chestnuts?"
"I was dragged in with Brother Gu."
Tang Li: “…” It makes sense that these two are a couple.
"We can't kill each other anymore. After all, there are three spots for the top three. We just need to surpass others." He Biduoyan tried to make three rules with the two of them. He was also a person who forgot what he said before the game.
The true fragrance arrives late, but it arrives later. Truth is indeed the truth.
He Biduoyan was still very confident in convincing the two of them. After all, Li Zi and Ju Ge Li Zi would definitely not be able to catch up. Instead of giving the top three places to others, it would be better for them to take it among themselves.
As soon as he finished speaking, a whirlpool appeared beside him. There was no need to say anything and panic.
Then, he was kicked into the whirlpool with a look of astonishment because of the incomprehensible words.
Even while rolling violently, one could still see disbelief on his face.
Poor child, his faith in Taoism must be broken, right?
I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Tang Li silently moved away from the person who couldn't express his meaning, and flew forward at a faster speed.
I didn't expect that the inability to express my thoughts clearly would actually speed things up.
Always feeling that this person had bad intentions, Tang Li began to think about how to escape.
Just at this moment, a new wind speed zone appeared on the track. Tang Li's eyes lit up and she climbed up lightly.
Before she could be happy, she saw Cibudaiyi also climbed up the same wind speed belt as her.
hateful!
It is true that a wind speed belt is spacious enough to accommodate two people, but it is really restrictive. With one more person, she cannot rotate and roll freely.
"It's so crowded!" Tang Li expressed dissatisfaction with a gloomy face.
"Get over it." The words were indifferent and did not express the meaning.
How do you overcome this? How do you manage to say such ruthless words with such a nonchalant expression?
Is this person really crazy today?
Fortunately, the wind speed belt disappeared quickly, and Tang Li decisively moved to the side to create distance.
If she comes closer again without expressing herself clearly, she will definitely fight back. Tang Li silently clenched her fists.
Fortunately, although he couldn't express his feelings clearly, he didn't fail to understand her intentions. After leaving the wind speed zone, he followed her silently at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
The closer they got to the finish line, the more whirlpools there were on the road. Tang Li was on edge the whole way, afraid that her next words would not come across well and might hit her unexpectedly.
Under her strict defense, Ci Budai didn't find any chance. Tang Li silently gave herself a thumbs up and continued to fly forward with spirits up.
Soon, they caught up with the players in front.
Tang Li took the time to look at the competition rankings. If she surpassed this player, she would be the undisputed number one.
Coincidentally, when Tang Li was about to overtake the opponent, a vortex appeared next to the player. Although she had surpassed the opponent, the opponent was likely to overtake her. Tang Li would certainly not miss such a good opportunity and flew over to kick him.
Anyone who can hold on until this point is a veteran. This player has also been secretly on guard, so of course he won't be kicked so easily by Tang Li.
Although the incident happened suddenly, he still relied on his excellent body skills to dodge and narrowly avoided Tang Li's very close kick by brushing the edge of the whirlpool. He even used the reaction force to pull Tang Li, trying to push her into the whirlpool.
Unfortunately, although this player avoided Tang Li and almost pushed Tang Li in, she didn't know that Ci Budaiyi, who was not far behind her, was also in the same group with her. The player who had finally escaped danger had no time to smile before he was kicked back into the whirlpool by Ci Budaiyi.
"Oh damn, it was so close!" the player screamed, his voice full of unwillingness.
Tang Li, who managed to keep her balance, was amused by the player's miserable yet funny expression and couldn't help but watch for two more seconds.
As a result, at this moment, a vortex appeared next to her at a very close distance.
At this distance, it wouldn't take much effort to push her in, not to mention that she had just stabilized her body and had no time to react.
If it were her, she would never miss this good opportunity.
Those who push others will always be pushed back. Fate is fair. Tang Li closed her eyes in despair.
But she waited and waited, only to have someone holding her hand.
"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go." His hand was not expressive enough and then left immediately. After making sure that Tang Li was standing firmly, he gestured forward, meaning that she should go first.
Weren't we all working so hard just to win the championship? Tang Li instinctively began to fly, then came to her senses and asked doubtfully, "You won't push me?"
"How could I push you? Who do you think I am?" He failed to express himself clearly and looked aggrieved, as if to say, "How dare you wrongly accuse me?"
No, how did you manage to lie with your eyes open? Tang Li was speechless.
Have you forgotten that you just pushed your good brother into the whirlpool in front of me?
"That was an accident." Tang Li's expression was easy to understand. He could easily tell what she was thinking without her words clearly expressing it. He touched the tip of her tall nose and smiled embarrassedly.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that He Yan looked a little unpleasant at that time, so he couldn't help but kick him away.
Accident?
"Guess whether I believe it or not?" Tang Li had an expression that said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Since you don't believe it..." The finish line was just ahead. Ci Budi, who had been following Tang Li, continued to fly and grabbed her hand in her surprised look.
It turned out that everything before was just to confuse her. She wondered why this person didn't take advantage of the time when she was fighting with the player just now to overtake her. It turned out that it was all for this last moment.
Damn it, I was so careless!
If this was the effect he wanted, then he had indeed won. Tang Li, who was unable to move, was filled with regret.
"...Then I'll prove it with practical actions." After saying that, he pushed forward with all his strength, pushing Tang Li across the finish line.
"Huh?" Tang Li swore that her expression at the moment was definitely funny.
The next second, the runner-up also landed at the finish line, unable to express himself clearly, with a smile of triumph on his face: "Hahaha, are you scared?"
Tang Li: "..." You are kidding her, right?
“It’s really boring.”
"That's right!" Although he didn't know what happened afterwards, upon hearing Tang Li's complaint, He Bi Duoyan, who had won third place, nodded in empathy. "I don't know what the boss suddenly went crazy for. I almost didn't get third place just now!"
God knows he finally managed to break free from the whirlpool, but not long after flying, he encountered another tough player. During the fight between the two, he was almost defeated by Li Zi and the others.
It's all the boss's fault. Why bother saying more? I couldn't help but look at him with a resentful look, as his words couldn't express what I meant.
I feel guilty because my words don't express what I want to say.
He wanted to say that this was training for him, or that he was respecting the rules of the game, but he was worried that Tang Li would think that he treated men and women differently and that he didn't respect her. He didn't know why he had such an outrageous idea...
In short, he also felt that some of his behaviors today were strange, so when faced with He Biduoyan's accusations, he remained silent, which was rare.
"Xiao Li, have you been tricked by the boss too?" He complained for a long time but the boss didn't stop him. After talking for a long time, He Biduoyan felt a little bored. Thinking of what he heard just now when he came back, He Biduoyan looked at the man with a reproachful look, which did not express his meaning clearly.
I didn't expect that the boss would be so cruel to girls, but when I think about his personality and how he behaves in school, I think it's natural. After all, the boss has always had the same attitude towards boys and girls, whether it's training or opportunities. In the boss's words, this is called treating everyone equally.
In fact, it was precisely because he did not treat everyone equally that he felt so guilty. He felt that there was no point in saying more, as if he was being looked at by an animal. He could not express his feelings clearly and just stared at the sky silently.
"The boss is too cruel. It's okay. We will definitely beat him next time." After all, he is his boss. Why bother saying more and trying to make amends for him in front of Tang Li?
"No need, I am the champion of this competition." Tang Li felt that she didn't want to participate in the flying competition with Cibudaiyi in the short term, because she really couldn't understand what was going on in this guy's head.
Compared to this unfathomable guy, the players who used all kinds of shady tricks during the game looked much more refreshing.
"Wow, Xiaoli, you are so awesome! You actually beat the boss!" He Biduoyan widened his eyes in shock.
"What? Xiaoli actually beat the boss!"
“That’s amazing!”
Li Zi and Ju Ge Li Zi, who had just finished the game and rushed over, heard the news as soon as they got closer.
“Well done!”
"As expected of Xiaoli!"
"Not really..." Tang Li no longer wanted to talk about her own history of being deceived, so she quickly changed the subject, "How about we go check out other activities?"
"Gu Ge and I originally wanted to participate in another round of the flying competition, but since the event only lasts three days, it's also good to check out other activities." Li Zi was more willing to stick close to Tang Li than to compete. "Next time, let's team up. I don't trust men anymore!"
"Hey!" Someone protested from behind.
There are really countless activities during the celebration. In addition to most official activities, many newly moved-in NPC residents can also trigger tasks.
They don't have the resources to participate in tasks like collecting materials, so when they accept tasks, they mostly choose small challenges or combat tasks.
Many of the tasks were quite interesting, so Tang Li participated in the stone-throwing and grid-hopping task organized by several children.
There were also many educational games on the scene. At first, Tang Li also participated in a few of them with great interest, but these games were soon taken over by the players and she couldn't understand them.
Brain teasers would be fine, but why would the principle of space wormholes appear in this kind of game? The difficulty of uploading thoughts using holographic technology was beyond her comprehension.
"Hahaha, the question is quite simple!" Li Zi smiled naturally and easily got the prize under Tang Li's envious gaze.
Tang Li: “…” Sad.
Are you bullying her, an old antique? Tang Li silently drank a sip of the famous drink that was said to come from the real world, feeling angry.
"Come on, Xiaoli, here's the broom flying competition you signed up for!"
"Here it comes!" Tang Li drank the drink in big gulps and became excited again.
She has been looking forward to the live-action version of KuiOqi for a long time!
