Chapter 220 - The Future Is Promising

Dust and building debris was everywhere in the studio. The air was choked with dust, and bricks and stones were still falling down from the dome. Obstacles were everywhere.
The arena was shrinking inward.
Time seemed to have started moving on fast forward. Caesar once again eliminated a contestant, and 100 meters away, Wu Jin also hunted someone down successfully.
Queen Caesars machinery armor was upgraded, and the Nightingales alloy defense and laser light weapons had been slightly repaired after the battle.
Only, the Nightingale was now Wu Jin.
In one corner of the ruins, Wu Jin waited quietly in ambush behind the wall.
Karen suppressed the Nightingale, and the Nightingale suppressed the Queen. After defeating Wei Yan, he didnt hesitate to equip himself with the best chip for attacking Caesar.
As the compet.i.tion drew to a close, the AI directors no longer required Wu Jin to change clothing. Instead, they gave him a pair of symbolic, fluffy white wings. What made Wu Jin very excited was that the red dancing shoes could now be taken off freely, and the big boss could no longer look at the shoes expressionlessly once every minute
Wu Jin turned back.
Wei s.h.i.+ stood with his hands by his sides.
Wu Jin continued his ambush, then looked back again.
Wei s.h.i.+ was calmly cleaning his blade.
Wu Jin was going crazy: !!! Brother Wei, youre the only one standing behind me, so its clear that youre the one flapping my wings. This man
A strong wind suddenly blew over from the distance, Wu Jin dodged, his elbows landing on the crimson carpet, and he missed getting hurt by a close margin. Then, 12 power thrusters powered up together as the youth held up his knife and soared up into the sky through the fog and haze!
Two laser guns turned, predicting the enemys movements!
Wu Jin had a superior perspective, and he quickly narrowed his eyes, Careful, there are three of them!
The female ghosts could hunt trainees, but the trainees could also hunt the female ghosts.
At this time, there were only 7 survivors left on the field, and Wu Jin and Caesar had the absolute advantage when it came to equipment. However, Wu Jin had just experienced a fierce battle, and he wasnt at his peak state. There was no doubt that he would be a popular target for everyone. Wu Jin looked down from above and said quickly, Two people from the Stardust Cup and Ming Yao.
Ming Yao was on his own.
Wu Jin was surprised for a moment, then quickly judged the situation. Jingyi had always been inseparable from each other, and Zuo Botangs elimination was a good thing in this current situation. As long as he could deal with the two Stardust Cup players
Three arrows shot through the air towards him!
Wu Jin quickly turned and flipped. He dodged the last arrow, then held the rose bayonet in his right arm as his body suddenly charged forward like a ghost. The blade point was aimed at the chest of a Stardust Cup trainee as he hurled it fiercely!
There was a clang.
The tip of the blade was blocked by a performance prop s.h.i.+eld. Ming Yao shot out another cold steel arrow from the side, but it was shot down by a laser gun at Wu Jins waist, clattering as it tumbled to the ground.
A scuffle broke out at the edge of the stage behind Wu Jin, and Wei s.h.i.+ squeezed into the battlefield like a strong s.h.i.+eld. To his side, Ming Yao aimed and misfired again, but this time, he aimed at the parts on the thrusters. Wu Jin ignored it after only a glance, as the Nightingale was equipped with over 30 thrusters, and a single machine wasnt enough to support the weight of the human body
Wu Jin paused abruptly.
The first time, the shot had been aimed at the gun chamber.
The second time, it had been aimed at a 30kg thruster. The launch force wasnt enough to move a human body, but it was enough to push the explosive reactants in the metal chamber. No, that wasnt right, even if Ming Yao collected these things, it wasnt enough to achieve a lethal effect unless there was fuel.
Fuel.
Retreat! Wu Jin opened his mouth in the blink of an eye. From nearby, in the ruins from his battle with Wei Yan, he could see Zuo Botang darting away from the bottom of the stage. Judging from the route, hed picked up the gun chamber and thruster that Ming Yao had shot down, then rushed towards the laser fuel reactor
Ballistics, fuel, thrusters.
These were the three elements that made up the original gun.
The black smoke and flames from the ruins outlined Zuo Botangs hands that moved like precision instruments. The sniper was able to quickly take apart the thruster at high heat, loading in the fuel, fixing the laser trajectory, re-a.s.sembling, reinforcing, then aiming at Wu Jin
Zuo Botang smiled.
This was the best gun that could be a.s.sembled from the parts dropped by Karen, the Queen, and the Nightingale.
In the Crosson Show live broadcast room, the audience and instructors were all in an uproar!
A qualified sniper should not only be able to snipe at a distance of 1000 meters, but also be familiar with every inch of the structure of a gun. The sniper rifle was both his honor and his belief.
Despite being in a no-advantage situation in a trainee elimination match, hed taken things from three players who had an advantage and actually managed to put together a laser gun!
The barrel roared and heated, and the silver blue light shot out fiercely towards Wu Jin.
The Crosson Shows live stream room.
Ying Xiangxiang praised him repeatedly, Perhaps Contestant Zuo came up with this idea when he first saw the mechanical armor. I feel that I can see a bright future for Jingyi.
Blood Pigeon nodded, Jingyi Battle Team is the only team still insisting on the old-fas.h.i.+oned fighting method of a double sniper c-position. The most difficult part of this setup is creating good conditions for snipers. Zuo Botang is very talented, Blood Pigeon looked at Ming Yao, Jingyi has a successor, and Little Mings cooperation with him is also very wonderful.
Ying Xiangxiang navigated the camera forward, So then, congratulations to Jingyi for getting the first gun in the game. Here, we must remind the audience that Wu Jins mecha armor hasnt been completely repaired. If a player is. .h.i.t by the laser, they will die. So, Contestant Wu
Inside the seventh elimination match arena, Wu Jin gave Zuo Botang a thumbs up, then moved like a ghost, hiding from the arrow and narrowly avoiding being swept away by the laser gun!
Wu Jin sucked in a breath of cold air.
What was more terrifying than Zuo Botangs laser gun was the shot that Ming Yao had fired with a bow after Zuo Botangs attack. Previously, in the tarot card elimination match, he remembered being forced to run in two instances by their gun fire
However, it wasnt just his mecha that had evolved over time.
He had, too.
More than half the thrusters activated at the same time, and the laser beam exploded at Wu Jins feet. It was like the youth had stepped on a meteor as he dropped down at twice the acceleration of gravity, hurling the bayonet at Ming Yao, whod shot the hidden arrow. From beside Wu Jin, Wei s.h.i.+ moved with tacit understanding and blocked the attacks of the other two trainees for him. Wu Jins attack arm was powerful, and the tight muscles twisted the bayonet, wedging it straight into the gap between Ming Yaos bow and grip, making use of the momentum from the thrusters!
!! Ming Yao was caught off guard and unable to prevent Wu Jin from s.n.a.t.c.hing his bow, but his strong reaction ability kicked in, and he drew his knife at the same moment!
At almost the same time, from behind Wu Jin, a Stardust Cup trainee shot out another arrow, even as Zuo Botang continued sniping from the distance
Wu Jin reached out abruptly.
The youths amber pupils were suffused with an inorganic blue light from the laser gun, and the Nightingales mask seemed sharp and cold.
A s.h.i.+eld came flying, as Wei s.h.i.+s attack deflected Ming Yaos blade.
Wu Jin reached out towards the attacking arrow.
The alloy defenses on his palms opened up one by one, and the decorative features on his wrist fluttered in the strong wind.
In this round, the Nightingale was the master of speed.
The youth suddenly clenched his palm!
The arrow and alloy armor created friction together, and the arrow finally came to a stop in Wu Jins hands. In the next second, the Nightingales armor hadnt finished repairing itself, but Wu Jin had already forced open the fuel tank!
Wu Jin set the tip of the arrow on fire and quickly aimed it at Zuo Botang off in the distance.
There were many inflammable materials piled up where Zuo Botang was standing.
Zuo Botangs pupils contracted sharply.
The laser gun fired one last time, landing painfully on Wu Jins knee and filling the air with the smell of burning silk. However, at almost the same time, Wu Jins arrow shot out
Boom!
Red flames rose up from the ground, and above the Jingyi team captain, the already precarious dome finally collapsed due to the explosion!
Zuo Botang was eliminated.
Current survival count: 6.
The Crosson Shows live stream room.
The scrolling comments burst into activity:
Little Witch ahhhhh
Wu Jin and Wei s.h.i.+, one of them threw a s.h.i.+eld, and the other s.n.a.t.c.hed an arrow from the air. Did they communicate at all? Or am I blind and didnt see it?
Brain wave communication. Those two people didnt speak at all, and they didnt even look at each other, yet they can cooperate like this, so what!
Clicking like for Little Witch. But! Captain Zuo ohhhh, my Captain Zuo is still handsome!! Its a pity about that gun
From beside Ying Xiangxiang, Blood Pigeon looked at the camera for a long time.
Then, he shook his head, Its not a pity.
Not a pity.
This Crosson Show had already gone far beyond his expectations. Jingyi had been brilliant for 10 years, but had been in decline for 8 years. These past 8 years, they had just been lacking someone like Zuo Botang, and Wei s.h.i.+ and Wei Yans talent was rarely seen even in top level professional players. Wu Jin and Ming Yao had still been pecking at each other like chickens in the instances a few months ago, but now they could stand up on their own.
Wu Jins progress was particularly terrifying.
In addition, Thin Fire, Zoe, Caesar, and Qin Jinbao would all be in active service after their debut, and no team would make such new players sit on the bench. Even Raphael and Wen Lin, who had to rotate their positions in the companys team configuration, were only lacking a suitable opportunity.
If they were able to graduate.
The Stardust Cup official compet.i.tion, the rookie elite compet.i.tion, the Azure Compet.i.tion zone profession compet.i.tion, and even the Star League. There was a long way to go, but the future was promising.
At the center of the screen.
After Zuo Botang was eliminated, Ming Yaos alliance collapsed. Nightingale had killed Zuo Botang and thoroughly repaired the damaged mecha. At this time, the only one who could compete with Wu Jin was Caesar.
To Wu Jins surprise, the Stardust Cup trainee whod attacked him just now proposed a duel. Instead of being chased to death by Wu Jins armor, he would rather have a proper fight.
Two minutes later, the player was eliminated. Current survivor count, 5.
The duel was over. Ming Yao immediately jumped out with all his supplies and launched a suicide attack to avenge his captain
The semi-mechanical, mecha Wu Jin looked at the pitiful and poor Ming Yao, Are you stupid?!
Ming Yao retorted, Youre the stupid one! Our Jingyi will advance and retreat together through life and death!
Wu Jin threw something at him.
Ming Yao caught it reflexively and was about to throw it back to hit Wu Jin when he suddenly realized what he was holding in his hand.
The gun that Captain Zuo a.s.sembled. Wu Jin turned his head to explain to the big boss. His wig was mostly a chaotic mess, and a small curl poked out from beneath it, It was picked up from the ruins! Little Ming has been sneaking around here for a long time. It must be because he wanted to pick up the gun!
Ming Yao kicked up a fuss, Youre just giving it to me?
Wu Jin snarked back, What else would it be?
In the survival show, giving the opponent a weapon was a sign of respect and recognition.
If the big boss hadnt given him a gun in the audition round, or if Brother Thin hadnt given him a gun in the first elimination match, Wu Jin felt that he might still be digging for coal somewhere in the Federation.
Jingyi deserved this respect.
n.o.body couldve done better than Jingyi in the situation just now. Besides, if he didnt give the gun to Ming Yao now, it would be auctioned off to fans by the program producer as soon as the game was over!
To Wu Jins surprise, Ming Yao put aside the gun in his inner pocket.
I didnt a.s.semble this gun. Ming Yao explained simply, I shouldnt use it. Ill give it back to the captain later. Thanks, brother! Come and fight!
He drew his bow again and aimed at Wu Jin.
Three minutes later, Ming Yao was eliminated, and there were only 4 live players left in the field.
The ruins crackled in the fire as Wu Jin killed the last remaining Stardust Cup player.
There were 3 survivors in the arena.
The last metal support for the dome finally collapsed, and the last beam fell with a roaring haze. The vast amount of building debris was swallowed up with the fire, and their vision grew dark. The sound of metal impacting transmitted over from afar!
Wu Jin finally made out Caesars figure.
As for why Caesar had disappeared for a long time
Caesar, who had devoured several trainees, had evolved into a three story heavy fortress. The outer layer of the huge skirt extended into reflective armor, with fixed turrets and firing lines, making it difficult to walk.
Wu Jin checked over the mechanical fitting over his entire body one last time and was about to rush out of the white haze and fire when he was suddenly stopped by Wei s.h.i.+.
Finish it quickly. Ill be waiting for you outside.
Wu Jin was stunned. According to his original thoughts, he and Caesar would first fight, and then he would fight with the big boss to decide the winner
White haze filled up the field of vision.
The cameras were still spinning in circles in the haze.
Wu Jin: Dont go
Wei s.h.i.+ unbuckled his weapon sheath, and the short knife that had originally belonged to Wu Jin was once again tied to the youths waist. The short knife had a broad edge and thin blade, and the Floating Entertainment logo was printed to one side.
Wu Jin reached out towards his waist, and in the next second, the mans rough palm with the gun calluses pressed Wu Jins fingertips over the blades sponsor logo.
Wei s.h.i.+: You are the reason for this game.
Go forth from here and win it.
The white haze finally cleared.
The audience outside suddenly exclaimed in surprise. The dilapidated studio had lost its dome in the fire, and after the rain, fierce sunlight was pouring in from the top. The light diffracted through the ruins and clouds of dust, and the only remaining performance hall slowly rose up under the power of the lifts.
There were only two people standing on the stage.
Survival count: 2.
In the Crosson Show live broadcast room, the directors and the cameramen all clamored at the same time, Contestant Wei was eliminated?! How was he eliminated? Crushed by rubble? Was he standing under the rubble!? We didnt catch it on camera?
The screen was focused.
Wu Jin pulled out his blade under the blazing sunlight.
The Nightingale and the Queen collided with each other in a thunderous clash
The stage broke into pieces, lights flickered, and the fires raged!
Survival count: 2.
Survival count: 1.
Countless AI robots swarmed in from outside the seventh elimination match arena. Some carried out life-saving capsules, and others brought in medical equipment
Wu Jin walked out amidst the flow of people and robots.
Juurensha: Congratulations Little Witch for winning the instance! Truly the fairytale idol champion!
xiin: its so romantic that WS made a whole game for WJ, and WJ wins it~
