Chapter 141: Update 1 + Update 2 (bug fix) Players lead the elimination team...
It’s no wonder that people think that there are corpses hidden in the wilderness and deep mountains. The current environment is exactly in line with the most terrifying imagination in people’s minds!
Being taken to an unknown destination by an unknown bus, even walking all the way, and even writing a suicide note,
Suddenly the bus stopped and I realized I didn’t have to die. When my heart calmed down a little, I turned around and looked - wow!
The person who drove the death bus to send them here was the guy who just took out a super-giant nuclear bomb explosion ball on the court and wanted to blow them all to death!
No, in this situation, who wouldn't feel like they're going to die here and now?!
Between being killed by a giant nuclear bomb explosion and an unknown death, the panicked crowd couldn't help but reach for the miniature bomb tennis balls in their arms or pockets.
What should have been considered taboo suddenly brought an incomparable sense of security at this moment.
Fortunately, fortunately, in addition to those horrific ways of dying, they also have slightly normal ways of dying to choose from. Looking at it this way, the situation doesn’t seem to have gotten too bad, haha!
“…”
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt even more bitter.
The loser group of 196 people, in addition to high school students, also includes junior high school students. Among the junior high school students, there are many who are familiar with the "Cat Flayer" and "Cat Party".
For example, Sanada Genichirō, Jack Kuwabara, Yagyu Hiroshi, and Kirihara Akaya from Rikkai University, Echizen Ryoma and Momoshiro Takeshi from Seigaku University, and Toyama Kintaro from Shitenhoji...
At this moment, looking at Jibaimao who said "yo" with everyone, although I don't know what he wants to do, but adhering to my understanding of Jibaimao,
Since I am not dead now, I will not die in the future.
But whether not dying is a good thing or a bad thing is hard to say...
Jin Akutsu, who had just played against Yagi Kei on the U17 field and was defeated and was now in the elimination group, clicked his tongue. Takashi Kawamura, who was also eliminated in the internal strife of Seigaku, tensed up and watched Jin Akutsu carefully, fearing that he would rush forward and do something if he lost his composure.
But unexpectedly, Jin Akutsu just smacked his lips and turned his face away. He could be said to be standing aside obediently.
The biggest troublemaker was singled out and dealt with directly. It must be said that the tactic of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" that Jibaimao used at the beginning was very effective, even to an unexpected degree.
The troublemakers among the junior high school students are no longer active, and it is even less likely that there will be troublemakers among the high school students - long before the junior high school students arrived, they had already been tormented to death by the cat, and now they are eager to step forward to defend the cat's rule, let alone challenge the cat's authority!
Now they stared at the black-haired young man standing in the front, breathless, but they didn't dare to directly expose the identity of the head coach, nor did they dare to disturb the head coach's fun.
Because of his failure, he was extremely afraid of being punished by the head coach after the game. His emotions were complicated for a while, and the combination of emotions resulted in a weird expression and body movements.
The player is looking at the pop-up window in front of him.
[Limited Time Mission: Challenge the U17 Expedition Team on their Overseas Expedition!]
[——Lead the current U17 team members who are about to assemble to challenge and defeat the U17 overseas expedition team with 100% confidence!
-Current mission success rate: 51.1%...]
After separating the winners and losers of the U17 training camp, the mission success rate increased by a very generous one percentage point.
The players vaguely sensed some clues and based on common sense, formulated different training methods for the two groups of members.
I suddenly discovered that the success rate is indeed going to increase again!
So this is the way it is, it’s so interesting.
Thanks to the experience gained from quickly brushing the data of the single-player special NPC Yukimura Seiichi and the team NPC Rikkai University a few months ago, players can now easily pull up NPC data and cultivate and train them.
——As long as you don’t die from practicing, practice until you die!
There was a long silence, no one spoke, even breathing was suppressed to the minimum, the high school students and the middle school students looked at the black-haired boy standing in the front at the same time.
Observing his every move, I was completely driven by the powerful aura that unconsciously emanated from his body, and I couldn't help but regard him as my backbone.
It's OK for high school students, but there are also some middle school students who vaguely sense that something is wrong.
Eh, if I'm not mistaken, this guy can be said to be very strong, but in reality he's just a first-year student at Rikkai University, right?
Why do the vice presidents, third-year and second-year students at Rikkai University, as well as second-year and third-year students from other schools, all tacitly accept this kid's position as the initiator?
I was completely baffled, and was about to open my mouth and ask questions.
“—Clang! Clang!”
The confused middle school student: "?"
Without any warning, a bunch of tennis rackets suddenly fell from the sky in front of him, piled up in a mess in front of him, there were hundreds of them!
Everyone stared blankly at the rackets piled up like a mountain. Someone brave enough stepped forward and took a look.
Made of wood, it seems to be a specially made racket.
Just as I was wondering, the black-haired boy who had been standing there in a daze suddenly moved.
Everyone's eyes followed closely -
The player opens the entrance to the mine. Although he has dug the mine to the 200th floor, he still has to start from the first floor to lead this group of NPCs whose health bars are extremely fragile if they don't enter combat mode and who can be killed by a single mistake.
Monsters in the mines—perfect for practicing movement and attacking.
Even if one of them is accidentally stabbed to death, the players around will never let these NPCs die easily!
Leveling up, the beautiful future of leveling up is just around the corner - players have seen the perfect future of the success rate rising to 100% waving at them!
If you are a real man, go down a hundred floors!
The player just clicked on the entrance on the screen to load in, and in the eyes of everyone, the black-haired mushroom head suddenly moved.
With a blank expression and dead eyes, Yagi Kei slowly walked to a huge, neglected rock in full view of everyone.
He pulled forward with both hands, and just carried the huge rock that looked like a meteorite falling from the sky and threw it to the side effortlessly.
A huge meteorite hit the ground, and everyone was stunned and trembled on the spot.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?
This is not over yet. After the black-haired boy threw away the huge meteorite, a dark cave suddenly appeared behind him. It was dark and deep, and it almost exuded an endless ominous aura!
The wind whistled through the forest, brushing past the cave entrance and suddenly becoming sharp, like countless wails and screams of fear.
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on the back of their necks. Everyone couldn't control their bodies and took a step back in unison.
This guy has a bad feeling. He might not want them to go in here...
No matter how you look at it, this is definitely not a place you can just casually visit!
After the player opened the mine entrance and prepared to lead the team to fight monsters and level up, he turned around and saw
Looking closely, the NPCs suddenly ran away, and everyone's status bar had more or less "Fear" or "Tense".
...Huh?
Although he tried his best to endure, his instinct to survive still prevailed. Taocheng Wu said with difficulty, gnashing his teeth.
"Ryoma...are we really going to die here today? Is my eventful life going to end before it even begins..."
Echizen Ryoma said nothing, but just silently pulled his hat.
A deep, dark, endless cave filled with unknown risks, and a black cat staring at them with its eyes, faintly urging them.
I have a bad feeling.
"Senior A Tao,"
"...You said, Ryoma,"
"Do we have any other choice besides going down?"
“…”
It's not even a question but a statement.
Thinking about it this way, it seems even more hopeless.
Momoshiro Takeshi tightly grasped the miniature bomb tennis ball in his pocket, almost in despair.
The players waited and waited, and the players waited again.
The player waited for a while and found that the NPC group still did not move at all.
What happened? Stuck?
The player, feeling very strange, walked up to the nearest NPC, which happened to be Kelp Head - an acquaintance, so let's start with you!
The wild instinct was filled with fear for the deep cave behind the young junior, as if he would lose something extremely precious if he went in.
So even though he trusted his junior very much, he didn't dare to go forward directly at this moment. Kirihara Akaya's underlying code was fighting with each other,
But all this was broken when Jibai Cat approached actively. Kirihara Akaya's eyes fell on Yagi Kei's face, and he couldn't help but smile, wagging his tail and calling out in a low voice with eager eyes.
"Kyu, you're here—"
【·Click】
Clean and smooth, with extremely fast movements, one catch, one throw, and one kick,
“—Aa ...
A kelp head screamed in confusion and despair and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing the number of people entering the mine jump to (1/196), the player nodded and looked up at the nearest... black-faced NPC!
Sanada Genichirō watched Kirihara Akagi disappear, and the next second he felt the evil gaze of Jibaimao falling on his face: "..."
Not only Jibaimao, almost everyone was looking at him.
Genichirō Sanada slowly reached out and tugged at his hat. Just before Jibaimao was about to move, he said in a deep voice, "Don't move!"
Others who were watching this scene closely: “!!”
Could this be the first salvo in the counterattack—starting from Rikkai University? ! !
The next second,
Sanada Genichirō quickly picked up two rackets from the ground. He also took some with him, including Kirihara Akaya, who had just been kicked down by Jibaimao. He strode to the entrance of the hole and said with great momentum,
“—I can do it myself!”
Everyone: “…”
With the example of Sanada Genichirō, the players from Rikkai University were faster than the others. They didn't even need to do anything. They just picked up a racket from the ground and rushed down with a smile.
No matter how many Rikkai-sama there are, there are only four. Suddenly, the one closest to the player becomes Seigaku.
Facing the black-haired, mushroom-headed, dead-eyed Kaidou Xun: "..."
Looking at the NPC who patiently counted for three seconds, Yagi Kei said: "..."
Taocheng Wu wanted to struggle again, "Hey, that, Kei... Kei, why don't we sit down and discuss it first, and then carefully consider the feasibility of this matter, after all, this place does look a little too scary-"
“——Horror!!!”
In the left hand is Kaidou Kaoru, in the right hand is Momoshiro Takeshi,
——Go away!
Suddenly, the front row of Qingxue was cleared, and Inui Sadaharu, Kawamura Takashi, and Oishi Shuichiro, who were frozen in place, gasped.
Echizen Ryoma looked at Jibaimao deeply, and without any reminder, he picked up the racket from the ground and walked past without saying a word.
Even while walking, he was still muttering "——Madamadadane!"
Seeing the fate of Rikkai University and Seigaku, he no longer harbored any hope. He knew he couldn't escape this calamity today. He would have to die sooner or later. Rather than being forced to die, he might as well go to his death openly and voluntarily.
Even though I have made all these mental preparations, I still can't help but hesitate when it comes to myself.
Especially those who were unfamiliar with Yagi Kei, such as Higachu, Saint Rudolph, and Yamabuki, stopped and watched from afar.
They waited and watched, and the high school students could no longer hold back.
Seeing that many of the junior high school students had already rushed down before anyone could react, a sense of crisis suddenly filled my heart.
If those middle school students who rushed down first survived and occupied the advantageous terrain, competing with them for the head coach's attention - bad!
The high school students' wonderful train of thought came full circle at this moment. They exchanged glances with each other and immediately became excited.
Everyone has to die - it's worth dying for the head coach!
With deep eyes, they picked up the tennis rackets on the ground and looked at the black-haired boy who was waiting there.
Then, with full of sincere enthusiasm, one after another, just like dumplings - jumped down very neatly and cleanly!
“—For the head coach!!”
"That's right!! For the head coach!!"
Seeing the U17 Indigenous high school student suddenly go into a frenzy and yell "Head Coach!", he would run crookedly to get past Yagi Kei before jumping. The middle school students who were not mentally prepared could not understand.
Could it be...that he has gone crazy due to the stimulation?
It's not impossible. After all, the mental state of these guys was already a bit precarious, and now something like this happened... All of a sudden, everyone's expression became serious.
The desire to escape from here becomes more urgent!
However, the problem has already come to the nail households.
Player: “…”
The nail households: “…”
Facing the black-haired mushroom head with empty, dark, dead fish eyes, Ken Oshizuka slowly tried to struggle again.
"Um... I just accidentally walked a little slowly. Now I can walk on my own..."
He raised his head hopefully, "...is it still too late?"
Player: “…”
What are you talking about, NPC? You're wasting your time—get out of here!
“…”
"……well,"
"The tenth sigh, Seiichi," Yanagi Renji said calmly, "Are you still worried about everyone who left?"
Yukimura Seiichi, who had already changed into the U17 uniform, paused as he put on his coat, his face filled with helplessness and bitterness.
"Yeah, I don't know how Genichirō, Akaya, and the others are doing now..."
"——I haven't heard any sound related to the bomb explosion yet," Shiraishi Kuranosuke zipped up his uniform and said to himself.
"Isn't that good news?"
Although others did not respond directly, their expressions showed that they thought the same.
No news...maybe that's the best news.
"—Ah, are you still worried about your teammates who have already left?"
The elite members of the U17 High School Team, who had previously appeared in the U17 Ticket Competition, appeared in groups in front of the U17 Junior High School Team, who had changed into their uniforms.
Those guys who are not strong enough have been screened out, and now the ones left are all high school students with good strength.
The 75-member high school student camp is spread across the 20th pitch of the U17 training camp.
"...The further you advance, the stronger you become. So, this one is Onijujiro stationed at pitch five. I'm at pitch three. You should also be familiar with Tokugawa next to me—he's at pitch two."
Leading the group of 25 junior high school students, Irie Kanata, who was familiar with the entire U17 power distribution, introduced them in a light and airy tone.
"Starting tomorrow, you'll officially enter the ranked matches. Well, compared to that, you're really lucky—haha."
The content of his words was like a glacier floating on the sea surface, with deeper meaning hidden beneath it.
There were few stupid middle school students left present. They had a vague sense of something when they heard his words, but before they had time to think deeply, they were attracted by certain specific parts.
Kimute Nagashiro adjusted his glasses and said, "According to what you said, we're only going to Court No. 2. Court No. 1 represents the strongest position in the entire base."
The lens flashed, and Kide Nagashiro pointed out the most crucial part, "It seems that it hasn't been said who is here yet?"
Irie Kanata pretended to be surprised, but the fake surprise on his face almost made people laugh, "You actually noticed this--"
"But," Irie Kanado nodded his finger.
He smiled, but the smile on his face was filled with something inexplicable, a bit sharp, and also a bit of pity from above.
"You guys, at the moment, are not qualified to know~"
“…”
“——!”
That bit of sharpness and pity disappeared as quickly as it came. When he looked again, Irie Kanata had returned to his usual smiling face.
"But there's a way, if you really want to know—it's very simple."
The twenty-five junior high school students were immediately drawn to his words, their gazes simultaneously turning to his raised index finger.
Kanata Irie smiled and pressed his fingertips, saying briskly, "——As long as the seventy-five people here, that is, us, are completely and completely defeated."
"The one on Court No. 1 will automatically appear in front of you."
“…”
He smiled and said, "How is it? Is it simple?"
"Ah, speaking of which, it's just in time." Catching a glimpse of something, Irie changed the subject incredibly smoothly.
"Although the qualifying matches start tomorrow, your practice starts the second you enter here, right?"
——It started from the very first second? ?
Reflexively, the junior high school students immediately looked forward—
Silence was like a silent army. The seventy-two people who stopped behind Irie Kanata, Oni Jujiro, and Tokugawa Kazuya all took out their tennis rackets.
Everyone held a yellow tennis ball that was so familiar to middle school students.
What appeared at the U17 training base was undoubtedly a specially made tennis ball embedded with a micro-bomb.
The 'grumbling' sound of wheels rubbing against each other was intense and piercing. Turning around, I saw the leading coaching team, Saito Tsutomu and Kurobe Yukio, coming in from the open door.
Behind them were the U17 training base staff pushing carts one after another.
On the cart, there were iron beverage barrels placed one after another, intact.
For some reason, their eyelids twitched suddenly. Whether it was Yukimura Seiichi, Tezuka Kunimitsu, or even Atobe Keigo, they all clenched the handles of their rackets tightly.
Noticing the gaze coming his way, Saito Shi looked up from his schedule.
"Ah, this? You can probably guess it—it's the head coach's miracle. Don't worry, I said I won't let you die, and I really won't let you die—"
Saito Shi smiled, but that smile looked more like a devil at this moment. "If you had come earlier, you might not have to go through this, but now we have the order from the head coach. Although it seems a bit pitiful, in order to maximize your strength-"
"Just bear with it, bear with it, it will be over soon——"
To replace the ball machines, the U17 training camp's high school team went all out to create more unpredictable ball paths and angles, with specially made miniature bomb tennis balls and ten buckets of "Gui Juice" always ready.
"Now, let's start serving and returning training—starting with the junior high group."
Saito Mitsuko raised his index finger and tapped the file board, smiling as he read out the first day's goals on the schedule.
"Success is achieved when everyone can return eight balls simultaneously—"
“……?”
The twenty-five people who stayed behind were confused.
Oh, hitting eight balls simultaneously means...
Saito Shi said with a smile, "Although it does feel a bit too much to ask, to increase the intensity so much from the beginning."
"However, since the head coach can set such a goal on the first day, it shows that he still has great trust in you junior high school students."
He turned his head and didn't forget to Q the cat-centered camp.
"So—high school students over there, don't show any mercy, got it?"
Bewildered and dazed, the junior high school students even doubted their lives for a moment: "..."
More than just showing no mercy, after Saito said this, the twenty-five people were practically stared at like targets, their hair standing on end, as if they were being haunted by a ghost...
Knowing the true identity of the head coach, Yukimura Seiichi slowly gritted his teeth and said, "This is really... a surprise."
"Surprise? What a surprise! Hehehe——Hehehe..." Atobe Keigo covered his face with his hands and laughed softly on the spot.
"...Atobe, are you okay?" Tezuka Kunimitsu adjusted his glasses.
Yuushi Oshizuka said slowly: "This is no longer okay..."
Xiao Jing, I'm about to be driven crazy...
"Oh, right, a friendly reminder,"
Saito Shige took a deep breath, tapped his head with the file board, and said as if he had just remembered something.
"If you don't catch the tennis balls those high school students throw at you, then boom~ they'll explode, you know?"
“…”
Feelings are the key point, right?
The silent 25 middle school students finally understood why there were so many beverage cans neatly stacked there, and who they were for.
"Today...can we really make it through alive?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke's forehead was already throbbing with pain. At this moment, he missed his departed teammates terribly...
The prophecy came true.
Now I'm really going to be blown away by bombs anytime and anywhere.
"We must be able to do it if we can, and we must be able to do it if we can't—the opportunities and time left for us are running out."
In the dead silence, only the oppression of a dark future remains.
Tezuka Kunimitsu slowly raised his glasses with trembling fingers, "No...don't be careless!"
“…”
"How dare you be careless in this situation? It's quite interesting."
"...Haha, I'm finally going to die again."
At the U17 training base, the 25-member winning group is about to face a daily bombardment that will make even their mothers unrecognizable.
Outside the U17 training base, the back mountain, the mine,
The player who cleared the field with one kick nimbly jumped into the mine with a "hey whoosh".
Seeing the number of people entering reach (196/196), I finally lit the fire with satisfaction.
Suddenly, flames burst out, and the voice that was still wailing "Who stepped on me!" "Whose hand! No! Whose foot! Get it away!" "Why can't I see anything! Did I hit my head! ! ! " suddenly stopped.
The flickering light of the fire returned, and the true scene of the place appeared before everyone's eyes.
The rugged and dense ore, the dark corners that are dim and gloomy, and the elusive moving shadows...
Wait, a moving shadow?!
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, trying to focus their eyes and see—
The moment it was sensed, the swimming black shadow suddenly accelerated!
They rushed directly towards the crowd of middle school and high school students who were standing still! !
I had never seen this kind of shadow creature before, and the unfamiliar area and endless darkness greatly increased the fear in my heart.
The first reaction that popped into everyone's mind was to run away.
Run away! Run away!
There are thousands of roads, but safety comes first. If you escape improperly, your loved ones will shed tears - eh?
The player planted the bomb, and in full view of everyone who stretched out Erkang's hand,
Covering my ears with my hands, I walked away as if no one was around and nothing had happened.
The next second,
“BOOM ...
There was a huge roar that covered the whole sky.
The only escape route before everyone's eyes was—
Collapsed.
My heart was shattered into pieces at this moment.
Not far away, the swimming black shadow was still approaching rapidly, getting closer and closer, and everyone was forced into a corner where there was no corner left.
Every face was filled with fear and terror.
Under the light of the fire, a gelatinous unknown creature without facial features, a torso, or a specific shape appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was as if I had crossed the dimensional wall in an instant, and an unreasonable existence suddenly appeared in front of me.
I dare not go forward, and there is no way to retreat!
“——Wha, what the hell is this?!!!”
"No, we are still alive now, is this still the human world? Huh???"
The unknown colloid was getting closer and closer. Someone was faintly touched by the unknown creature and was shouting in panic, "Help me, help me, help me, help me - I don't want to die yet!!!"
"--hateful!!"
"——Is there no other solution?! At least give us a weapon right now!!"
“…”
"……arms?"
As soon as these words came out, a flash of inspiration came to him.
Those who realized it slowly lowered their heads, their gazes instantly landing on the uniformly distributed tennis rackets...
Tennis rackets, weapons...
“I figured it out!!”
Kirihara Akaya was overjoyed, "We can use a tennis racket to attack this guy--!!"
"After all, Kei used to chop down trees with a tennis racket like this!!!"
All of a sudden, everyone was enlightened. Since there was a precedent,
So the purpose of giving them tennis rackets—so that’s exactly what it is!
——Tennis racket! The all-purpose tennis racket!!!
The player looked down to check the distribution of the monsters in the mine, and took out the juice from his backpack to heal the fragile NPCs.
Notice the red dot on the small map. Check the details and you will find it is the lowest level slime.
To deal with this kind of monster, the NPCs should only need to give it one ball to solve it...
The player raised his eyes, and after a while, he slowly typed out a question mark.
“……?”
Looking in front of me, it was like a group of ants rushing towards me, holding rackets and starting to "bang bang bang bang bang".
The NPCs who ruthlessly attacked the slime from all angles and angles, hammering it into a pile of slime cakes,
The player tilted his head, trying to understand.
Players understand failure.
Well, although the attack method is different from what I expected,
But now, looking at the slime that had turned into a cake, the continuously decreasing health bar, and the slowly increasing NPC strength attribute value,
Oh, so... if that's the case,
It seems that it is not impossible?
