Chapter 128: Shit Luck
It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, but this place is in the west, the sunset is relatively late, and it's still as hot as noon.
On the dry and windless Gobi Desert, the blind swordsman stood with his hands down, like a sculpture.
And at a distance of tens of kilometers from the ground, the Sword and Shield Divine Soldier is flying rapidly. Its speed is constantly increasing, breaking through the speed of sound in a few seconds, and then breaking through Mach 2, Mach 3, and Mach 4...
In the blink of an eye, the speed of Sword and Shield Warrior has reached the highest Mach 15!
This kind of speed is already the highest speed in the atmosphere. If it is higher, even with the strength of the sword and shield magic weapon, it can't bear it.
"What does he want? To flee without a fight?"
"Shouldn't you fly directly into space!"
"I remember that Sword and Shield uses a turbocharged engine. Its flight mode cannot fly in an airless environment. It is unlikely to fly to outer space."
"That's not necessarily the case. Mech God Soldiers are only limited to using chemical energy as the main power source. Metal hydrogen is also chemical energy!"
No matter in front of the TV, or in various professional forums, or on various barrage live broadcast websites, there is a lot of discussion.
The liveliest one was Yuan Zewen's own live page.
Borrowing the powerful synthetic image live broadcast system, countless viewers felt as if they were transformed into the same size as the blind swordsman, standing on the endless wasteland.
In Dongbin, thousands of kilometers away from the wasteland, in the small car class of Dongbin Wistron, several drivers are watching a joke around the driver Zhang Ge, laughing non-stop, and the driver plugged his mobile phone into a simple VR In the device, the screen of the mobile phone is used as a monitor, watching Yuan Zewen's live broadcast.
"This is really the most shocking live broadcast method..." Brother Zhang sighed, "I feel as if I am standing next to the blind swordsman."
"Really? Let me feel it, let me try it, let me try it!" Several drivers immediately gathered around and lined up one by one to experience this new live broadcast method.
"Really, 360 degrees without blind spots, and you can walk around... It seems like you can touch the blind swordsman with your hand... Hey, I really touched it!"
"You felt it was my chest..." Another driver next to him said impatiently.
A few people quarreled for a while, and suddenly Brother Zhang asked what was watching and Xiao Liu said: "Xiao Liu, don't you watch the game? You are not someone who watched today's game and shouted that you must watch it?"
"Oh... wait until I finish this lesson." Xiao Liu said without raising his head.
The noise around him seemed to be just background noise to him, and it didn't affect Xiao Liu's concentration at all.
His companions don't know that Xiao Liu is actually standing in a vast desert. The augmented reality device he uses is the seemingly ordinary glasses on the bridge of his nose. Next to his ears, there are the most professional commentators, helping him explain.
"Blind swordsmen are good at close-to-ground combat, while sword and shield warriors are good at long-range air combat. Both sides are accumulating energy and plan to decide the winner when they come into contact. They estimate that it will take more than two minutes to fight. Come on, first. Finish this question..." Instructor Ah Hui urged in a low voice in his ear.
If it was the past, Xiao Liu would have complained a long time ago, what? Two minutes to squeeze? Why don't you go and die?
But in the past few months, Xiao Liu has become used to racing against time, not to mention two minutes, even if there are two seconds, he has to count carefully, and his little progress is obtained from this minute and second. of.
When the ranking was announced again a few days ago, Xiao Liu had already entered the top 500.
The company's top management even held a small reception for him to celebrate.
"To be honest, with your current progress rate, it is really difficult to enter the top 100, because the people in front are too strong, but you don't have to be discouraged. According to the news I got, even if you don't enter the top 100 There are 100 people, and there are other opportunities, the question is, are you willing to accept..." Teacher Ahui's words can't be said to be pouring cold water or cheering up, and only at this time, Xiao Liu will feel that Teacher Ahui is actually not a good person. Not alone, he doesn't know all that much about human emotions yet.
Of course, Xiao Liu prefers to think of this guy as a weird partner with a bit of a bad personality and a bit of moodiness, rather than thinking of him as an artificial intelligence.
To be honest, the current Xiao Liu actually does not regret not being selected for the 100-member list, because every minute and every second of progress during this period has truly changed his life and changed his attitude towards life. It has already been said that when the Lazy God Challenge is over, no matter how many names Xiao Liu gets, the company will give Xiao Liu a suitable position.
Of course, whether Xiao Liu can be kept is another matter, because many people have extended an olive branch to Xiao Liu.
However, this does not mean that Xiao Liu wants to give up at this point. He also knows that his foundation is weak and he is not a genius, so he is very interested in the opportunity that Mentor Ahui mentioned.
However, the application results have not been reported back for a long time.
Perhaps everyone is watching the live broadcast today, and the entire company is quiet. Since joining the competition for the "Epic Journey" supplier, the busy and lively scene seems to have been pressed the pause button.
The bidding direction chosen by Dongbin Wistron did not compete with the children of Lazy Theological Seminary, and the other competitors were not very powerful guys, but because they joined the list of suppliers for the epic journey. A small company that is not considered a big one became popular, and its business volume reached a new high.
Just a few days ago, Dongbin Wistron had completed its own order and sent all the purchased equipment to Lazy God Island, and the atmosphere of the whole company became more relaxed.
I don’t know if it’s because the business volume has increased, the income has increased, the cost control is not as strict as before, and the number of times the car is used for official receptions has increased. The attitude of the drivers in the class has improved a lot, and they no longer strictly urge them to transfer or leave their jobs as soon as possible.
Since then, Xiaocheban has become relaxed and loose again. Everyone is still chatting and bragging, and everything has returned to the way it used to be.
In two minutes, Xiao Liu completed a small exercise. In the next second, Brother Zhang, who was wearing VR glasses, suddenly exclaimed: "Here we come!"
In the sky, amidst the terrifying roar and overlapping thunder, the sword and shield soldiers stepped on their shields and swooped down from the air.
The terrifying speed exceeding Mach 10 tore through the air, causing the air to ionize into colorful horses behind it, and the sword and shield warrior was surrounded by terrifying lightning, just like the god of thunder descending from the nine heavens!
The swords of the Sword and Shield Warrior hang down, and the superconducting property of metal hydrogen takes effect. The electric charge seems to be attracted by an invisible force, and gathers, jumps, and accumulates on the two swords, just like Thunder God wielding an electric cone.
In the next second, the Sword and Shield Divine Soldier dived and pulled up, forming a terrifying arc.
However, the charges condensed on the two sword tips still kept moving in a straight line, and the two groups of ionized air carrying terrifying charges, like spherical lightning dropped from the air, shot directly at the blind swordsman at a speed exceeding Mach 10!
"Boom! Boom!" Plasma and sand flew in all directions.
At that moment, everyone in front of the TV was stunned.
According to the rules, Mech God Soldiers cannot use any kind of thermal weapons, but now what is this terrifying move called Thunderball Bombing?
Can pure kinetic energy produce such terrifying power?
"Fuck, didn't you say that you can only use chemical energy? What's the matter with this electricity?"
"So handsome! So handsome, so handsome!"
"The blind swordsman is doomed now, the sword and shield magician has such a terrible move!"
In the trolley class, several people were either using VR glasses, or holding mobile phones, or leaning in front of the computer, all exclaiming.
In the midst of this exclamation, someone weakly said: "Everyone is a driver, why is he driving the Armor, and we are driving?"
"Hmph, it's just good luck. If I have that luck, I can drive it too... I watched the live broadcast, and there is a powered exoskeleton inside. How you move, the mecha can move as you like, without any technical content. ..." Another driver said sourly.
"That Yuan Zewen is also a veteran, and he's also blind... If I drive the blind swordsman, I will definitely be better than him, at least I won't be defenseless." Another driver muttered.
At this moment, the driver wearing VR glasses yelled: "It's okay! The blind swordsman is okay! Get out of here!"
The blind swordsman was on the ground, flipping and leaping like a kite. Two thunderballs hit the ground, instantly melting the sand and splashing it. The liquid from the melting sand splashed on the blind swordsman's body like scars.
"Escaped? But this guy is really lucky..."
In the speeches of these people who couldn't tell if they were sour or in some mood, Xiao Liu smiled and stood up.
In the corner of his eyes, a message flashed: "Application approved."
He turned to look at a few companions who were addicted to the live broadcast, and actually had a little understanding of their thoughts.
Chen Yong, who drives the Sword and Shield God, is from the Air Force. The Air Force has always been a rich and handsome man in the army. It is difficult to join, and it is also early to become famous.
But Yuan Zewen is different, he is just an ordinary soldier, and he is blind. Of the four people present, three are veterans, and it is normal to disagree with him.
But, is Yuan Zewen really just lucky?
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, watch the live broadcast, I'm leaving."
"Let's go? Where are you going? Are you going home now?" Brother Li was taken aback when he heard this.
"No, we won't be able to see each other for about a month..." Xiao Liu pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm going to participate in Xiongzi Technology's mecha pilot training..."
Brother Li and the others: "..."
"Then, goodbye." Xiao Liu bowed. In fact, it's not just a month. It is estimated that after today, it will be difficult for him to come back here.
Only Brother Zhang, who was wearing VR glasses, didn't know what happened, and was still bluffing: "Fight back, blind swordsman... Alas, you are so stupid, I am stronger than you!"
"Oh, you idiot!" The blind swordsman had almost no power to fight back on the ground, he just evaded in embarrassment, which made Brother Zhang very angry, took off his glasses, took a few sips from the cup: "Really, If it's me...what's wrong with you? Huh? Where's Xiao Liu?"
No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the trolley class had never been so solemn.
After a while, someone suddenly whispered something.
"Shit luck..."
