Chapter 103 Strategy Competition
The team leader at the front of the team looked at the time, raised her head and stepped onto a circular suspension board, and controlled the suspension board to fly into the air.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
The suspension board had a built-in amplification function, and the team leader's next introduction was clearly transmitted to the ears of the freshmen.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone for coming to the fourth stage of our Semill Freshman Ability Competition. The next competition will be more brutal and intense. Only 100 freshmen out of 500 participating freshmen will be able to successfully get a place in the federation competition."
"The freshman competition is just a beginning, and the subsequent federation competition is the top priority, so I hope everyone can do their best to fight for this place." The team leader said.
"That's all I have to say. Now let me first introduce to you the competition system for the fourth stage."
"This competition will adopt a virtual competition system, and the participating freshmen will be divided into 100 groups, with five people in each group."
The team leader teacher controlled the suspended screen to fly to the circular screen in front of the audience seats. "There are 100 screens in front of me, and they are connected to each group's competition arena, so each group in this round is an independent competition arena."
"Your competitors this time are no longer all freshmen, but the remaining four people in the same group."
The participating students below listened very seriously. Although these rules are explained every year in the freshman competition, they have no idea how many videos they have watched and heard in the forum, but when they are really in the situation and it is their turn to listen below, the feeling is completely different.
The team leader continued, speaking slowly to ensure that everyone could hear clearly: "There is a flag with the Semir logo on the field of each competition area. The flag is guarded by many aliens, and the level of the aliens is set based on the comprehensive strength of the team members in that competition area."
"There are two ways to win this game. You can choose to pull down the flag, or you can choose to attack the remaining four people. Regardless of whether the flag is pulled up, when there is only one member left in each group, that member will be promoted directly."
"Did you hear it clearly?" The team leader asked loudly.
"Understood!" The audience responded to her in unison.
Then the screens behind her lit up one after another: "The system will automatically match you to the same arena, and students matched to the same arena will be considered the same group." As soon as
the leader teacher finished speaking, the names of the people jumped wildly on the 100 screens.
Everyone stared at them nervously and expectantly, not even daring to blink.
A minute later, all the screens finally froze.
"It's over."
The moment they saw the list, many people in the team went limp.
"I'm on the same arena with Wei Shengyu, what's the point of competing?" Someone smiled bitterly while covering his eyes.
The crowd immediately looked at him with sympathy.
"Teacher."
Suddenly, someone in the noisy crowd waved to the leader teacher.
The leader teacher motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then asked: "What's the problem?"
"There are six people in our arena?" The man asked in confusion.
After hearing this, everyone searched for the situation she mentioned in the group list on the screen.
Finally, an extra name was seen on the list on one screen.
Si Yuan!?
Jiang Ning was stunned.
She quickly turned around and scanned in the direction she came from.
After getting off the aircraft, Si Yuan was left far behind by her. It was not until the group list was released that he came slowly from behind.
"Ahem." The leader teacher cleared his throat and said, "Due to the death of a classmate in the second stage of the competition, the original number of people was reduced by one, so after discussion by all the teachers on the judges' seat, it was decided to let Si Yuan join this competition." In
fact, the real situation was that Si Yuan took the initiative to find Principal Batu and the judges' seat, activated his "money" ability, and asked to be allowed to participate in the competition.
The principal and teachers agreed 'reluctantly' because he was Semill's sponsor and had sponsored many new equipment for this freshman competition.
In order not to occupy the quota of other students who originally entered the freshman competition, everyone found such an excuse to let him sneak into the fourth stage of the competition.
As for whether he will advance in the end, the principal and teachers are not worried.
Si Yuan's current level is that of an ordinary person. If Semill's students can't even beat him, then there is really no point in trying.
The members who originally competed with Si Yuan had some complaints about the addition of one more person, but when they thought about the rumored physical fitness of Si Yuan, they were not so dissatisfied.
After the group list was confirmed, the teacher assigned everyone a closed helmet and finger connection suit according to the order of each competition venue.
Except for member No. 5, the rest of Jiang Ning's group were familiar faces.
She was member No. 1 of this group. No. 2 was the girl who broke into her dormitory without her consent when she posted a rental on the Internet. No. 3 was Ren Zhi. No. 4 was a boy from the double S class. He was assigned to Cheng Yao's group during the previous stage of assessment. Jiang Ning did not meet him directly during the assessment. The
remaining No. 5 was a girl with pink double ponytails and looked very cute.
Jiang Ning took a final look at the list.
Although the team leader teacher said that the list was randomly selected by the system, except for boy No. 4 who was in the same team as her, there was almost no overlap between the double S and 3S superpowers in the same arena.
These people are the pillars of Semir College, and the school naturally cannot let them kill each other during the freshman competition.
Jiang Ning put on the competition equipment, and then heard a "beep".
[System: Consciousness has been connected, entering the simulated arena. ]
This set of equipment is different from the simulated training cabin in the training room. It is more like the game equipment of "Superpower Battle", which is lighter and simpler.
After the system prompt sounded, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up.
After she adapted to her current body for a moment, she raised her head and looked around.
The stadium in front of her was composed of six integrated platforms of the same size, five of which were located in the outer field and the remaining one in the middle. The environment on each platform was different, and there were roads connecting the platforms.
The area she was in was a volcano, where there were almost no plants and the soil was black and gray. The volcano was very quiet at this time, and there was no sign of eruption.
The venue is almost a simulated natural ecology. Except for the volcano, the remaining areas are rainforest, grassland, desert and gulf. The middle area is separated by a layer of fog, and the situation inside cannot be seen.
However, Jiang Ning guessed that the flag should be in the middle area.
After she opened her eyes, she did not find other people around. It seems that this time, like the last stadium, the position was randomly teleported.
Jiang Ning just took a step forward, and a blue data suddenly flashed a few meters away from her. The next second, an alien appeared in front of her.
Aliens are standard equipment in the stadium, especially now that they have switched to the virtual stadium, and aliens are refreshed anytime and anywhere.
Red Flame Rat, S-level alien.
The fiery red fur matches the volcano very well. The temperature of its claws is very high. With one claw, it can melt directly into a person's bones.
Therefore, fire elemental attacks are ineffective against it.
Jiang Ning raised her hand and summoned an ice watermelon. Before the red flame rat could react, she froze it in place.
Then she raised her fingers slightly and continued to inject mental power into the ice watermelon. As her fingers curled up, she squeezed hard.
The ice watermelon exploded instantly, and the red flame rat was also blown to pieces, and blue data scattered all over the ground.
Looking at the dissipated data on the ground, Jiang Ning showed a slight disappointment.
The monsters hunted in this arena cannot be taken out.
Jiang Ning stepped over the ice debris on the ground and headed towards the middle area without looking back.
There are two ways to win the game. If you choose to go to the flag-pulling area, you need to deal with many aliens, which combine the strength of the members in the area.
Although there is one more way to win, the difficulty of the two ways is equivalent.
Jiang Ning thinks that there is no difference between fighting against the aliens that combine the strength of the other four people or directly fighting against the other four people.
So she chose to pull the flag directly.
The environment of the game is complicated, and it would be a waste of time for her to find the remaining four people one by one, and she didn't want to fight with them.
In their group, except for her and No. 4 who are a little higher, the remaining three are either S-level or A-level. The level of the monsters in the middle area must be equally considered for the strength of the five of them, so the highest level of monsters in this arena is only double S-level.
Jiang Ning is looking for a way to enter the middle area, and the remaining four have gathered together to discuss and prepare to cooperate to get rid of Jiang Ning first.
Her strength is obvious to everyone, so when the list came out, the four of them had already discussed it secretly behind Jiang Ning's back.
As long as she is still in the arena, the four of them will not have a chance at all.
But if the four of them join forces to get rid of Jiang Ning first, whether they can get the only qualification for the federation competition later depends on their own ability.
The opponent is too strong, so everyone can only unite.
After several people discussed and agreed, the four-member team finally elected No. 3 Ren Zhi as the commander.
Everyone did not act rashly. Only a unified and orderly team can achieve the common goal of everyone. As long as one person in the team acts without authorization, the cooperation between them will collapse completely. Although
Jiang Ning is powerful, she is a so-called lone hero.
It is not so easy for her to deal with the four of them alone.
The game just started, and the stadium was filled with a tense and intense atmosphere, which directly increased the viewing experience of the game.
Everyone was full of expectations.
"The fourth stage of the Freshman Superpower Contest has always been called a strategic contest. Participants must not only have extraordinary strength, but also a certain degree of scheming and brainpower. When you know that you are not in an advantageous position, you can choose to cooperate with others, unite the strength of two or more people, and of course you can also use all available resources in the arena, such as terrain and monsters." The teacher on the judges' bench explained to everyone.
She said this because it was obvious that many students in the 100 arenas in front of her had already reached cooperation.
Especially in the arena with double S and 3S superpowers, almost all members united and unanimously targeted them. Their actions reached an unprecedented unity.
This is their only chance to qualify for the promotion competition.
The judges' gaze turned and finally fixed on the arena where Si Yuan was.
The luck of this 'young master of money' was really bad. He was actually teleported directly to the center of the arena.
There were a lot of monsters there, and it looked like he would be eliminated soon.
The judges touched their noses and thought about what to say to comfort Si Yuan after he was eliminated. After all, he had given too many.
But it was not their fault.
The number of people in each arena was set in advance, and each person had an area as the initial position. Si Yuan was added in, so the system had some minor problems when executing the program, and threw him directly into the empty middle area.
