Chapter 209: Before You Begin

Chapter 209: Before You Begin

"Name?"

"Huaishi."

"age?"

"Seventeen."

"What about gender?"

"...Why do you ask so many questions as a courier?"

"The sender told me about the special service. She said you wouldn't feel comfortable if you didn't ask me..." The courier smiled, and looked at him with a look that I've seen a lot of young people in my business for many years. Don't be shy.

Huai Shi's expression twitched, and she took a small box from Ms. Xin Haiwu from the courier employee yesterday.

The box was light and fluffy, as if there was something inside, and it made a rattling sound when shaken.

When I opened it, I found a keychain and two pieces of paper inside.

The keychain looks simple, just a square iron block the size of a thumb with a chain hanging on it. It doesn't look good, but when you touch it with your thumb, you can feel that there are many shadow patterns that are hard to see with the naked eye, exuding There was a dark and cold breath.

I always feel like it's not a good thing...

[I heard that you are going to participate in the competition, so I specially bought a love amulet for you, please take it with you. 】

When Huai Shi saw the crow's message on the first note, her expression twitched, well, now it can be concluded that this thing is definitely not a good thing.

He thought for a while, and just to be on the safe side, he found a trash can and threw the keychain away.

Who knows what this woman is going to do.

When he picked up the second piece of paper, he found that it turned out to be a thin piece of lambskin, some years old, on which a table was densely written in various Egyptian cuneiform characters, and there were also pictures of angels, the sun and Pattern of internal organs.

There is no doubt that this is an alchemy formula.

Huai Shi tried to translate it, and found that the various hidden words in it were quite descriptive, but they could only stop people who knew nothing about alchemy.

He quickly transcribed it with the Book of Destiny, and then translated it. Soon, he found that it was a metal potion that was quite simple to make.

No, I should say... thermite.

A metal fuel with stable properties and excellent effects. If used well, it is a must-have product for murder, arson, and destruction of corpses.

If she can learn it, Huai Shi will naturally have another method, and even make up for her own shortcoming of the lack of destructive power of metal bombs.

Don't know where the crow got it from.

But finally did a good thing.

It's just that after the name of this thing was translated, Huai Shi's expression became more and more helpless.

"The wrath of Ramses?"

He shook his head: "The second disease is hopeless."

He shook the parchment and was about to stuff it into his pocket, but saw something written on the back of the parchment. When he turned it over and took a closer look, he saw only a line of slender and clear handwriting.

——Prodigal child, what are you throwing, pick it up quickly.

Surprised!

Did you expect this?

Huai Shi glanced left and right subconsciously, only seeing people coming and going on the main road, no one was paying attention, and no one was looking at her.

After being suspicious for a long time, he finally reached into the trash can reluctantly, picked up the keychain, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Let's go, today's scheming is another victory for the crow.

I just hope that this sister won't make any more fools, he has been a little bit overwhelmed recently.

He moved on.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jinling is already crowded with people, countless people are rushing to all directions, the whole city seems to wake up from a deep sleep, the blood is pulsating, the limbs are moving, and the body is stretched.

It's busy.

For most people in the current situation, things outside the current situation have no meaning, so the rookie competition will naturally not pay attention to how to live and how to live.

But for many ascensionists, this is the day when the rookie competition starts.

In the competition column of Tomorrow News mobile APP, Huai Shi discovered that there are more than 7,900 official contestants who have passed the audition this year!

Although according to the regulations, as long as the sublimated under the age of 30, whether it is the current situation or the major borders, and the rank is not higher than the third level, they are eligible to participate... But this number is really exaggerated, right?

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

After all, according to the statistics of the Astronomical Society, there are about 170,000 sublimators in Asia. A considerable number of them are white board sublimators who don't have stigmata or don't plan to spend a lot of money to buy stigmata.

Everyone can live a good life, why go to fight and kill when you have nothing to do?

If a sublimator wants to make money, there is no difficulty at all. Naturally, he does not need to do coolies from 9 to 5. With the ability in hand, he has a considerable advantage even if he does not commit crimes if he finds the right direction.

Most people are working hard to get rich.

In the 170,000 miles, after passing the registration and the audition, it is reasonable to have 7,000 sublimated people.

But 7,000 people... it would take several days to count them together.

How does this compare?

Since the competition system of each rookie competition is completely different, and even each region is different, the previous records are of no reference value. reliable place.

It is said that one year in the Americas rookie game, all the contestants were pulled to hell in a prehistoric area at a certain time, and played Clash of Clans.

In the hell of accelerating time, it is said that within a few months, several scholars from the Russian Federation joined hands to lead a group of primitive people to climb technology at the speed of light, and rely on Big Ivan to get everything done...

Everyone can't guess what the organizing committee of Tomorrow News is thinking, they can only see the tricks, and it depends on who has a stronger foundation.

Thinking of this, Huai Shi put away her mobile phone, stopped thinking about these messy things, and trotted back to the hotel where she lived.

He slept soundly in the gym last night, and didn't get up until after six o'clock this morning. He still felt dizzy and exhausted. He took a taxi to the city park and knocked on several green plants before he came back to his senses.

There are only two hours left until the official start of the race

He had to get in quickly.

The way to enter the arena is quite simple, just like going to participate in the chef chef competition, except that you don't need to wait for the middle of the night at a three-way intersection, you just need to bring the competition voucher issued by the organizing committee and find an elevator.

After hastily changing her clothes, Huai Shi took an inventory of the guys with her. According to the organizing committee, as long as the person arrives, it is fine, and there is no need to bring border relics and lethal weapons, even if they do, they will not be brought into the venue.

For Huai Shi, this is almost nothing... He himself is equivalent to a human-shaped self-propelled weapon rack and biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction. There is no fake foreign object at all, so there is no need to bring other things.

He just turned out his original chemical protective suit, put on the helmet again, and he didn't forget to take a special epic prop of the Astronomical Society, the human skin mask, and kicked it into his pocket.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

What if there is a strong man thinking about the lack of a stepping stone to use himself to stand up?

By the time everything was packed, it was only ten minutes before the deadline for players to enter the field. He picked up the iron plate issued to him by the organizing committee and walked into the elevator.

The moment the elevator doors closed, an unprecedented silence enveloped him.

All sounds were disappearing rapidly, the outside world was stripped away with the closing of the elevator, leaving only this small iron box and Huai Shi herself in the whole world.

Without Huai Shi pressing it, it began to sink slowly. With a slight sense of weightlessness, it stopped at the same place as if it had landed in the basement.

"The speed is quite fast..."

Huai Shi twisted her neck, took a deep breath, and waited for the elevator to open, but the elevator door didn't open. Instead, she suddenly stepped on the accelerator as if she had finally finished reversing the car!

Fly up and out!

In an instant, Huai Shi's eyes went dark, and she could only feel the elevator shaking violently, roaring, and whizzing upwards, rising layer by layer amidst the sharp and high-pitched vibrations.

From F1 to the 1st floor, followed by a rapid pass 2, 3, 4, 5... still accelerating! In the end, all the lights in the elevator went out completely.

The ascent never stopped, as if Huai Shi was being thrown into the stratosphere.

Until the end, amidst the roaring noise, it came to an abrupt end.

Amidst the heavy smoke and harsh sirens, the elevator door slowly opened, and a staggering figure came out with the door, dizzy.

Only now did Huai Shi realize that she was airsick.

As far as the eye can see, it is a pure white sky and earth. There is nothing in the whole world. There are countless elevators erected on the vast and pale land. People are getting out of the elevators. Under the guidance, they gathered in one place and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Welcome to the No. 9 sub-venue of the Asian Rookie Competition. Please find your seat according to the sign and wait for the game to start."

A two-story-high black goose-shaped robot bent down, staring at Huai Shi with two extremely Q-version eyes, green light beeping in the eyes.

Above the head, there is also a piece of dancing neon characters, and the words "creating happiness with money" can be vaguely seen.

In addition to this one, there are dozens of them wandering around the venue, and the loudspeaker is constantly playing various voices: "Please obey the order, don't crowd and fight in the venue."

"Please don't die in the venue, the sublimated ones."

"Please don't enter the exclusive rest area of ​​Xinyue senior members if you have nothing to do with sublimation."

"Scan the QR code to follow, and learn about the rules of the Rookie Competition with one click."

"Just a piece of source quality crystal, you can apply for membership on the spot, and there will be exclusive tips as a gift. I wish you ride the wind and waves and go straight to the finals!"

Huai Shi was dumbfounded.

Is it so commercialized?

When he found his seat and sat down, he realized that he was not the strangest one in the audience. There were many people dressed strangely. In contrast, he just put on a helmet, which was simply reserved.

The closest people on both sides are more than ten meters away, and there is a white halo floating above everyone's head, forcibly isolating all attacks.

In other words, here, everyone is forced to enter the peaceful mode.

With such a distance, I can't even hear a few words of trash talking.

As far as I could see, I couldn't see any acquaintances.

Even though many people looked at the people around them coldly and provoked them with killing intent, everyone remained unmoved.

A few people who tried to fight in the arena just now were dropped from the sky by a huge pitch-black goose-shaped robot, and then punched and killed during the broadcast of "the border is not a lawless place".

Those goose-shaped robots didn't know whether they were high-tech or border relics, but they actually exuded out-and-out fourth-order source quality fluctuations, firmly suppressing any heart that wanted to make trouble in the arena.

In the entire sub-venue, there were about 800 or 900 people, seemingly waiting peacefully, but the atmosphere outside the venue was still heated to a climax.

In the venue, above everyone's heads, a screen suddenly appeared.

Amidst the impassioned melody, after the exquisite CG animation, Tomorrow News and the logo of Giant Goose Group, which co-organized the competition, appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the camera in the live broadcast room was turned on. Before the person appeared, there was a long series of crackling sounds like tongue twisters.

"Hello, audience friends in front of the screen. Welcome to Tomorrow News, which is co-organized by Giant Goose Group, which creates happiness with heart. The 19th Asian Rookie Contest sponsored by the choir and other organizations... Create happiness with money, Renxiatang is the best in the world, and protect the smile of your uncle...I am the host of the competition and a good friend of all of you——Listen !"

A loyal and honest middle-aged face appeared in front of the screen. After finishing the jingle that would take two minutes to finish, he smiled at the screen and said, "I think everyone has already heard about the rookie contest. I can't wait to start, so without further ado, a 20-minute commercial will be inserted..."

Twenty fucking minutes of commercials!

Also, aren't you the fifth-level sublimator ranked in the top seven of the Dongxia pedigree? When did you go to the rookie competition to be the host?

For a moment, Huai Shi was in astonishment, full of thick troughs and nowhere to vomit, and was immediately swallowed up by the advertisement that went on forever.

"Master's sword, just click to give it away, Dongxia Open World's pinnacle work "Original Demon", waiting for you to play... Online office, cloud display, cluster group's great contribution, come here to contact old colleagues... The plot is beautiful and touching, the two-dimensional masterpiece "Yesterday's Broken Ship"..."

After a series of commercials were broadcast, Huai Shi was completely numb and began to doubt life.

Not only in the sub-venues, but when the camera switched from the advertisement to the match scene, there was already boos from the crowded auditorium.

"Negative score for advertising!"

"The host go away!"

"We want to see Miss Sister!"

"Hahaha, it seems that the audience and friends responded enthusiastically to the advertisement just now. Don't worry, now scan the QR code below the screen to order immediately, and you can also enjoy a 10% discount for Penguin Diamond members!"

In front of the screen, Di Ting smiled calmly, skillfully flung out various advertisements and sponsorship lists, until finally when the audience was about to smash the TV, he said unhurriedly:

"Finally, before the game officially starts, there is one more surprise to announce!"

"In order to bring the audience the best experience of the game, the organizing committee specially invited a mysterious guest to explain it to everyone on the spot!"

Listening to Truth paused for a long time, and after whetting the appetite of the audience, he stretched out his hand to lead to the entrance next to the live broadcast room, "Next, let's invite our live broadcast guest, Ms. Baidizi, to come on stage!"

The impassioned music sounded!

All of a sudden, the entire game scene was boiling.

Son of the White Emperor!

The fourteen-year-old Dong Xia is the second!

The youngest person to be crowned in the world!

Most importantly, she is still a beautiful young lady! ! !

All of a sudden, there was a lot of anticipation in everyone's heart.

Only Huai Shi was alone, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

Wait, on such a serious occasion, it should be... no, right?

I'm sorry, there are some Calvins, I just wanted to write a little more and wrote it now...
