Chapter 45 Dream Amusement Park (27)
Of course no problem.
Everyone formed a circle, surrounding Zhao Shuo in the middle, the most prominent position among the crowd.
"This is actually very similar to the prop race in a racing game. The key difference between a prop race and a speed race is that the proportion of props is much greater than the actual race. Preventing props is more important than anything else."
"Also, since this is a team competition, we need to divide the work..." Zhao Shuo took the equipment off the shelf and took a look. "These protective gear should only be differentiated by size. Just take the one that fits you."
"Since the first one to cross the finish line wins, we need a main attacker. I suggest I take this position myself because I'm more experienced. The main attacker is the first to see the track ahead and is responsible for directing the team, so it's probably more about the team's skills."
Of course no one objected.
"Then we need a spotter, three attackers and a back-up defender."
"In terms of formation, the main attacker should be in the front, followed by the attacker, spotter, attacker, attacker, and support defender. The attackers behind the main attacker are responsible for helping him deal with cars in the front row that pose a threat, which requires a relatively high level of skill. The spotter's focus is on protecting his own safety and determining the movements of enemy cars, which requires carefulness. The two attackers in the back row are mainly responsible for blocking the front row from being surrounded by enemy cars. The support defenders behind them also block the position to avoid unexpected situations."
Taking into account that the seeker and his follower might not necessarily cooperate, and in fact the seeker did not show much cooperation, after some discussion, Zhao Shuo was responsible for the main attacker, the attacker behind him was Cang Zhi, Su Chen was responsible for the observer, the seeker and his follower were the back row attackers, and Su Yue was in the back to assist in defense.
"Everything is fine, right?" Zhao Shuo asked symbolically. Of course, no one asked any questions.
"Okay, then I'll give you some operational suggestions. Su Chen, try to pick up defensive items to ensure your safety and don't fall behind. Brother Cang, and... uh, you two, check the total number of item slots. Use about 30% for defensive items, and pick up offensive items if you can and throw them away if you can. This game doesn't say you can't hit your teammates, so be careful not to hit the wrong ones."
"Boss, if you're the last one standing, you shouldn't be attacked. Watch out for the mines/ground balls ahead. Keep at least one speed booster handy, and use the rest as needed. Boss, I trust you!"
Zhao Shuo gave a thumbs up.
Su Yue: "..."
You don't have to believe it that way.
"As for attributes, I suggest prioritizing control and defense, because as long as one car breaks through the siege, it's enough. But boss, you're in the last row, so choose one with stronger acceleration. Some cars at the end of the track will be pursued by other vehicles, so you'll need to increase your speed when necessary."
"What kind of car do you plan to choose?" Su Yue asked.
"I'll take a gamble. There are 12 people on the opposite side. If you are not sure about their level, just treat them as difficult AI. I will trust my own operation, accelerate and control to the maximum, and make an ultimate fragile car. I will rely on my operation to dodge all the controls." Zhao Shuo said after thinking for a while.
Su Yue said "hmm".
"That's no problem." Zhao Shuo snapped his fingers, "Let's go down and get the car."
.
After descending from the stands onto the track, the terrain dropped, and the pressure of the mountain race ahead became even more pronounced. Eighteen cars were neatly parked on six lanes, three rows in total. However, considering the length of the track, and the fact that it was a prop race, this starting advantage was not that important; the priority was still to choose the attributes.
To the left of the race car parking area, beneath the stands, was a large exhaust fan, acting like an air conditioner. Zhao Shuo rubbed his hands quickly, blew a breath into his palms, and muttered, "Ah, a bit cold."
"Standing here feels different from playing games. At least I won't die playing games." He muttered again, leaned over to the car closest to him, and opened the door.
There was originally a game controller placed in the place of the steering wheel. Zhao Shuo got into the car and pressed it twice casually, and his expression relaxed a little.
"Fortunately, the feel is still about the same."
These racing cars all looked cartoon-like, with different colors and decorations. The car's numerical information was posted on the doors. Zhao Shuo walked around all the cars and finally selected a car with an acceleration of 9, a handling of 10, and a defense of 5.
5 points of defense is already stuck at the average level, and there is no test drive here. No matter how skilled and courageous Zhao Shuo is, he can only go to this level.
He was quite nervous because he was the main attacker this time. In terms of the level of racing games, Zhao Shuo was definitely good enough. Although racing games were not very popular now, his ID would make him a well-known figure in any league.
But this time he was responsible for the success or failure of the entire team. If they lost, the whole team would be gone. Zhao Shuo thought about it now and didn't know why he said something like "Let me take command" in such a rush of emotion.
Just when Zhao Shuo began to doubt himself, a small amulet was handed to him.
It was a pendant in the shape of a small crescent moon. The pendant was covered with a soft halo, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary thing.
Zhao Shuo turned around and saw Su Yue standing next to him.
"Wearing this can save your life at critical moments," said Su Yue.
Zhao Shuo nodded immediately and carefully put on the pendant. After hesitating for a while, he whispered, "Boss, what if, I mean, if I'm wrong and I'm not suitable to be the commander at all? What if this is completely different from a racing game?"
Su Yue looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I listened to everything you said. If it's not reliable, I've already opposed it."
Su Yue added, "But you should consider that those two may not obey your orders."
He was referring to the Seeker and his henchman.
"I know, so I put them at the back end. In fact, a team of four people is enough to charge forward, attack, observe and assist in defense." Zhao Shuo said.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shuo lowered his voice again: "To be honest, I'm thankful they don't turn against us. But if that's the case, you have a heavy task ahead of you, Boss. You must be careful."
Su Yue nodded.
After chatting with Su Yue, Zhao Shuo felt much better. Su Yue's words made him feel more at ease than anything else.
If Su Yue helps him pass the test, there will be no problem.
If there is really a problem, it is his operation that is problematic.
But he is a peerless racing master, and there will definitely be no problem with his operation.
Not to mention that Su Yue also gave him this amulet.
Zhao Shuo temporarily put aside his worries and took the amulet to examine it carefully. "Boss, what kind of amulet is this? Top-level defense? Damage immunity? One-time control immunity? Predictive damage reduction? Limited-time all-purpose?"
"But its appearance doesn't seem to resemble any of these. Top-level defense shouldn't be able to customize its shape? Damage immunity seems to be a bit brighter than this? Wow, but it looks so cool. Besides, I can't even afford it. The cheapest one-time control immunity here seems to cost 3,000 points in the item store, right?"
Su Yue cleared his throat and said in a cold tone, "Don't worry about what it is, just wear it."
Zhao Shuo immediately remembered what he had heard: there was an advanced prop store besides the prop store, which only players with a certain score could enter.
He looked at the amulet carefully again. The texture of the halo was very high-end. It was probably not something he could see in an ordinary prop store.
When Zhao Shuo thought that Su Yue had given him such a precious item, he felt a surge of respect. He said loudly, "Okay, Boss!"
Su Yue: "..."
Su Yue thought to herself, how come this kid is so well-informed that he's memorized the entire item shop's product pages?!
I can't let Zhao Shuo ask so many questions in the future, otherwise he will see through my identity sooner or later.
In fact, what Su Yue gave Zhao Shuo was of course a pendant blessed with divine power, which had nothing to do with props. He was not a formal player at all and had no points, but because it was related to his identity as a god, he naturally had no way to tell Zhao Shuo.
.
After Zhao Shuo finished choosing a car, there were still ten minutes left, so he helped others choose cars, including the Seeker and his follower.
Although these two people didn't say a word during the division of labor, and seemed very uncooperative, they had no objection to Zhao Shuo helping them choose the car. It was obvious that they were not giving him a good face and were taking advantage of him. But they were still teammates after all, so Zhao Shuo endured it and helped them choose the car.
Zhao Shuo chose a car with maximum handling and defense for Cang Zhi, because attackers in his position might have to fight. Cang Zhi himself was aware of this and had no objection.
Su Chen, who was acting as an observer, chose to maximize his defense and speed. If he was really besieged by NPCs, Su Chen could just run away.
Afterwards they tried the in-car voice control, which was easy to control, and everyone got into the car and took their seats.
Because the cars were already parked, their positions were fixed. Su Yue was the last auxiliary defender in the formation, his car was in the third row. The other five people's cars were in the first two rows. Zhao Shuo, Cang Zhi and Su Chen were in the first row, and the seeker and his followers were in the second row.
Su Yue got into his car. The car was quite cool, with a golden exterior and a body that shone like stars. He waited until everyone else was seated in the car before getting in. There were only 8 seconds left in the countdown when he got in.
To Su Yue's surprise, just as he sat down in the car, the "seeker" in the second row suddenly stood up, supported himself by the hood of the car, and jumped to Su Yue's side. Without even looking at any parameters of the car next to Su Yue, he sat in without hesitation.
On the countdown on the big screen, the time reached 00:00, and all the testers' vehicles were selected and could no longer be changed.
The staff members filed in and filled the car next to Zhao Shuo, the main attacker, in an instant. Zhao Shuo glanced to the side and saw that the NPC was wearing a racing suit and his face could not be seen, but he was nearly two meters tall, tall and strong, with brass knuckles on his fingers that shone with a sharp green light.
Zhao Shuo gritted his teeth, forced himself to roll up the window, gripped his handle tightly, and stared at the lane ahead: "...Fuck."
.
The sides of the stands lit up with bright red lights, the red light was so bright that it gave all the racing cars a bloody coating.
Cang Zhi turned his head from his car and looked at Su Yue. When their eyes met, he saw the seeker next to Su Yue and his expression froze.
The seeker gazed deeply at Su Yue and patted the green insect cage in his hand.
The insect cage seemed to sense its owner's murderous intent and made a buzzing sound.
Su Yue didn't even look at the seeker. The red light reflected in his eyes looked like a flame burning on the sea level. He looked at Cang Zhi and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
Su Yue knew very well that the seeker hated him so much that he would not give up so easily.
