Li Yao, although he had not used such a Mecha in his previous life, he knew its functionality all too well. The Mecha could liquefy and attach itself to the body like a piece of clothing, and it could be connected and disconnected through personal communicators.
With this thing, although a certain degree of freedom would be lost, personal safety could be greatly assured.
At the tournament area, wave after wave of players ascended the floating stairs.
The tall and skinny man asked the young man, “Boss, do you want more?”
“What do you think?” The young man’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he too stepped onto the stairs.
The tall and skinny man understood. Earlier, to the boss, Li Yao was nothing more than an annoying fly.
But now that he possessed a Mecha, dealing with him in reality became exponentially more difficult. No one dared to mess with him as the company needed Li Yao to cooperate in improving the Mecha.
This was precisely what the boss was aiming for.
At present, Li Yao was like a thorn in the boss’ side. He couldn’t be dealt with in reality, so his boss kept suppressing him in the game. Once Li Yao lost his value, the company would naturally replace him, and he wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble at that point.
Not all the contestants were willing to participate in the performance match. Most were simply there to watch the performance because they had not procured tickets.
After a while, the contestants’ seats became sparse.
Li Yao met up with his teammates and then walked to the contestant’s area, they chose a few adjacent partitions with glasses. Shortly after, all the contestants entered the game.
The moment Li Yao entered the game, a Dark Ranger appeared and waited for a while before saying, “Be warned. The teleportation gate will open soon. Then, you will be transported to the trial ground. Remember, the queen is watching the battle. Don’t bring shame upon us, or else…”
Subsequently, a few mages came over and opened the teleportation gate.
At the same time, large screens appeared in the sports arena, and the audience could choose the screens they wished to connect to their communicators.
At this moment, countless airships had appeared on the screen, and players were appearing on these airships one after another.
The massive fleet of airships was divided into three factions: Dark Camp, Light Faction, and Neutral Faction.
The players were scattered on various airships, awaiting orders.
“Find Prairie Fire’s screen.” Xiao Ze said.
They had been informed before going on stage that they needed to pay special attention to two people, Prairie Fire and another one called Spark of the Stars.
There was more than one person like Li Yao who was taking on the boss alone now, but those who could tackle a boss of the same level or even higher were rare.
Although the officials claimed they wanted to see the real side of things, in reality, for the sake of publicity, it was better to capture the exciting moments.
Prairie Fire and Spark of the Stars both had this ability, so the officials from the beginning required them to keep the main camera focused on one of the two based on the situation.
Since it was only one person, his aura was even stronger.
Initially, they just wanted Li Yao to test the Mecha, but knowing that the two were the same person, the officials quickly reacted and gave out the ownership of the Mecha, showing the high esteem the officials held for Prairie Fire.
The moment Li Yao’s screen popped up, it caused a commotion. KB asked,
“What are they astonished about?”
Xiao Ze took a deep breath and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the one next to
Prairie Fire is the queen of the Undead Clan.”
KB also took a deep breath, “How come all other players are on a troop transport airship but he is the only one beside this world boss?”
“Get the sound out, let’s hear what they’re saying.” Following Xiao Ze’s command,
The queen spoke lightly, “You see, there are more than 80,000 rookies in the
Elite Trial, among which our factions and the Light Faction each have about 30,000, with the Neutral Faction having 20,000. Have you got anything to say?
Players from other administrative districts were also included.
Li Yao shook his head and said, “Only a battle awaits.”
“Good, then you must fight well. Don’t disappoint me,” said the queen pointing down at the dense jungle below, “This is the Sanctuary World. The forest below is filled with boss-level monsters of around level 10. The task for the first stage is to kill a boss-level monster on your own. Soul Healers have been arranged below. You will have five chances to be revived. If you still can’t kill the boss monster after five attempts, you will be eliminated.”
“What if we encounter other people?” asked Li Yao.
“Make your own judgments,” said the queen, “Are you ready yet?”
“I’m ready, the parachute for….
Before Li Yao could finish speaking, he felt a kick on his back and was then thrown off the airship.
“Your Majesty, you haven’t given him a parachute yet?” A Ranger said softly.
“For a Ranger, if one falls to death from the sky, he is not worthy of inheriting my legacy,” the queen said lightly.
The sight of Li Yao being kicked off the airship by the queen immediately provoked laughter from the audience. This was a few kilometers from the sky.
“It seems being favored by the queen is not necessarily a good thing,” said Xiao Ze.
“Yeah, it’s so high. What about those with the fear of heights?” KB chipped in, “It’s as spectacular as dumplings falling into water.”
“So, KB, would you like to bet that Prairie Fire will surely die?” Xiao Ze joked.
“Don’t mention gambling, okay?” KB was helpless.
Other players had already opened their parachutes. Many players who saw that Li Yao had no parachute immediately showed sarcastic expressions. Everyone knew that using a cloak to slow down the fall was far less effective than a parachute.
“Look at you, how you die.” An ancient slim elf warrior, called Moon Bright Star Rare, said with a cold voice.
Li Yao immediately recognized these eyes. It was the lackey of the young man who had made him give up his seat in the audience.
Li Yao exposed a mouthful of white teeth and said, “Actually, you should be the one to die first.
Seeing a Fire Gun appeared in Li Yao’s hand, Moon Bright Star Rare had a flash of fear in his eyes. But, before he could react, the Fire Gun had already gone off.
The parachute was instantly torn, and Moon Bright Star Rare roared, “I won’t let you get away with this.”
Then, he started tumbling and fell down.
“We really are fated, let me accompany you down then.” Li Yao’s Fire Gun transformed into a heavy crossbow.
The young ancient elf druid, Gu Cheng, said coldly, “You dare.”
“I dare indeed,” replied Li Yao as he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Another parachute was shattered. Gu Cheng coldly stared at Li Yao without any expression, fell down too.
“I should accompany you then.”
Li Yao laughed loudly, released his cloak, and his falling speed increased instantly, just like a meteor falling.
This was the first feeling of the players floating nearby. Some had wanted to poke fun at Li Yao, but seeing the situation of the two, they immediately shut their mouths. After all, there were only five lives in total. Wasting a revival opportunity because of loose talk was definitely not worth it.
Moon Bright Star Rare was the first to crash into the ground, making a large crater. As a heavily armored warrior, he was completely flattened.
Then it was Gu Cheng. He had transformed into a leopard in an attempt to reduce the falling damage but was pierced through by a large tree due to the excessive force. His entire body was penetrated, blood splattered, he died as thoroughly as one could imagine.
“Well done Prairie Fire, you are as domineering as ever.”
“Prairie Fire, grandeur, and domineering.”
Li Yao’s actions instantly livened up the atmosphere at the scene….
