"Looking at this situation, it's possible that it's Lao Mi who's behind this. Are we being caught in a trap?"
"That depends on their abilities. All I saw was that they were panicking." Su Lin was speaking when a sudden burst of bird calls came into his earphones. He paused, turned around, and said, "Prince, they've turned on the world channel."
Zhou Yanzhi pulled Xiao Yu back a few steps and sat down on the sightseeing sofa on the second deck. He pulled out two golden masks from somewhere and put them on their faces.
"Open."
Su Lin, who was also wearing a mask, nodded. There was a "BIU" sound in the sea breeze, and a huge electronic screen floated on the deck.
The screen is six meters long and six meters wide, and it looks particularly huge when suspended there.
The opened screen is a nine-square grid.
Based on the difference in the mask, Xiao Yu found Zhou Yanzhi in the middle of the right side of the nine-square grid at a glance, and found himself sitting next to Zhou Yanzhi, wearing ancient Chinese costume.
The other people in the nine-square grid wore masks just like them, including the men and women sitting and standing around them.
The person in the middle of the nine-square grid seems to be the host. He wears half a green mask and speaks English with a foreign accent, just like a foreign goblin.
As a staunch supporter of the Level 4 English Test, Xiao Yu only understood some simple words.
However, although Xiao Yu didn't understand what the foreigner was saying, he could observe people's expressions. Even at this moment, everyone in and outside the picture was wearing a mask.
But no one seemed to hide their dislike for the 'host.' Indeed, the goblin on the screen became increasingly arrogant as he spoke, and the foreigner with a particularly smug smile looked like he deserved a beating.
Not to mention that several people in the nine-square grid were laughing in more and more meaningful ways, and some were even smiling happily, Zhou Yanzhi beside him was also laughing.
But is Zhou Yanzhi a person who loves to laugh? Judging from the situation since Xiao Yu came into contact with him, that is impossible.
Zhou Yanzhi's most normal behavior is - expressionless.
In Xiao Yu's opinion, his smile now is more like what he called in his novels - the devil's smile.
Su Lin accidentally noticed Xiao Yu's inquiring eyes and suddenly remembered that this child was not good at foreign languages. He quickly took out a translation headset and handed it to him.
Xiao Yu put on the translation headphones and immediately understood what the goblin was saying. He marveled at how amazing the translation headphones were, as they could actually translate the foreigner's emphasis and tone into simultaneous Mandarin.
I was surprised to find that this so-called wealthy host was mentally ill. How could a normal person come up with such a vicious game?
This guy not only wants to set up a real-life gaming arena in the form of a speedboat battle for them to play, but also wants to use this method to divide up the world's resource territories.
Those small countries rich in resources are just bargaining chips in his mouth.
This reminded Xiao Yu of a cartoon from a history textbook about the invasion of China by foreign powers. It showed a group of foreign powers sitting together, holding knives and forks, with meat marked as belonging to China in the middle.
…
"...This is definitely an exciting and thrilling game. We've recruited ten of the world's top planners to plan it."
"To increase the game's difficulty, we'll be adding some members with special abilities, and we'll also be enabling random bomb drops. After all, a calm sea is far too undaunted. Only with dramatic waves and the constant threat of life-threatening dangers can we showcase a man's might and the excitement of the game..."
"...Besides these obvious things, I also hope that everyone will be more generous and send out their own special abilities, instead of always hiding them. As the organizers, we are just launching a new initiative and will send out twenty special abilities to participate in the game. These special abilities will serve the same purpose as the national flag. With luck, they won't die, and everyone can buy them back.
Of course, they can also participate in the battle. I think their participation will make the game more exciting."
"...Haha, I can't wait! Our Hollywood, Oriental immortal novels. Obviously, our superheroes are just imagined, but in fact, they have already participated in my life. I am so happy! Oh, by the way, let me share with you, I am currently reading an Oriental immortal novel. It is very exciting and is called "The Immortal Supporting the Head". Oh, I hope that friends who share my hobbies can support this Oriental author. I really like him. The Eastern Taoism he describes really makes me yearn for it. I wonder when I will have the opportunity to go to the East and meet this author I admire."
Xiao Yu (⊙o⊙)…:…What is he saying?
Su Lin:...Fuck, this bastard!
"...Okay, I admit I've talked a bit too much. If this doesn't make any sense to you, we'll start the game in half an hour."
"..." Including Zhou Yanzhi, none of the eight people in the Nine Grid spoke.
The goblin was obviously very satisfied with this. He smiled and said, "That's a happy decision. See you in half an hour."
The screen disappeared, and Su Lin immediately made arrangements. The fully armed figure beside him also disappeared.
Zhou Yanzhi touched the silly kid beside him, leaned over and kissed him on the lips: "Don't take it to heart. If there's a chance, I'll help you collect the copyright fees."
Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Yanzhi and said nothing. He wasn't stupid. He didn't believe that the guy said that on the big screen. He was more likely to speculate that the guy knew he was Zhou Yanzhi's man, so he said that.
Is the other party threatening Zhou Yanzhi?
Half an hour passed quickly. As the screen unfolded again, it no longer displayed a nine-square grid. Instead, it showed the vast sea area in front of all the ships, as seen in the satellite's high-definition footage.
The sea was pitch black at around ten o'clock in the evening, but suddenly it was illuminated and as bright as day.
In this venue as bright as day, ten speedboats appeared in front of all the ships, and there were three fully armed people on each speedboat.
"Haha, good evening, dear audience! Our game is about to begin. Before we begin, our organizers have specially set up a betting game to encourage everyone to participate. Now, you have ten minutes to place your bet on the team you think will win this match." A person carrying a jet gun suddenly flew to the center of the "arena" and then hovered there. The person was originally invisible on the vast ocean, but was projected onto the large screens of each ship. "Okay, the betting begins."
