Alien Relic Hunter

Probably all the luck has been used up in the group drawing. In the next game, Ke Lan and the others were drawn into a three-on-three team battle. According to the original plan, all two games were played against rich and powerful teams. Chosen to abstain.

In the second round of the group stage, after they won two games in a row to ensure that they would qualify 100%, they simply gave up all the remaining games. Among the many male pilots, Valentina stood out. Her popularity has soared to the top three among all participating aces. Her multiple abandonments have not only not reduced her popularity, but have created a "hungry marketing" effect. In the past two days, the office emails of Hound and Chi Hanfeng It is almost filled with invitation emails for business cooperation. Of course, it is also mixed with "letters of love" from many enthusiastic fans.

In the blink of an eye, the two stages of the group stage have come to an end, and the new knockout competition format announced by the competition organizer has set off a new round of barrage frenzy on the Internet... But compared with the online audience, The audience who bought tickets to watch the game were excited. Even under the suspended platform, Ke Lan could hear the roar of the audience in the ordinary viewing area below.

One after another, "RNM, refund your money!" echoed throughout the entire stadium. If the security guards who maintained order were not professional mercenaries with live ammunition, they might have demolished the entire viewing area.

It is not difficult to understand the anger of the audience: because the knockout competition venue is located in the ruins called C-039 "Sandstone Abandoned City", for safety reasons, the general viewing area was set up more than ten kilometers away from the ruins. Place, in this way, these spectators who have spent a lot of money to buy tickets can only watch the game through the screen like the spectators who live online for free on the Ark. Coupled with the poor food and accommodation environment, these spectators' hearts The accumulated dissatisfaction suddenly burst out, which led to the current situation.

It was not until the organizers of the competition came forward and promised to refund 50% of the ticket price of all general viewing area tickets, and gave each spectator a beautiful souvenir, that the storm calmed down.

"To be honest, I think your operation is a bit of a loss." Layton muttered. The souvenirs promised by the event organizers are actually competition-limited mecha assembly models. If this thing is sold back to the Ark, any model can be used. It can be sold for a high price of several thousand credits, and some of the popular and rare models can be sold for more than five figures, almost worth the price.

"Loss? Don't worry, they won't lose..." Ke Lan said with a smile, "Although it offended the audience, the new knockout competition system increased the ratings of the online broadcast several times, and the advertising revenue alone was If the organizers of the event can make a lot of money, who will care about the small amount of money for the model. Don’t you think so, Mr. Ye?"

"Ah..." Ye Yan felt a little embarrassed when Ke Lan asked him, "Actually... I don't know the specific operation of the competition... It should be about the same..."

The children of those aristocratic families on the Ark are generally divided into two types. One type has received extremely strict elite education since childhood. They have almost no time of their own. Even studying art, wine tasting, collecting, etc. In order to cultivate the so-called "aristocratic temperament", the ultimate goal of life for such people is to inherit the family power from their fathers and bring it to a new peak... and the other type is a real playboy, Although they are still considered a member of the nobility, the family's previous generation would never consider leaving the family's future in the hands of such people. The meaning of their existence is not to serve as a business marriage. In addition to being a target, he probably spent money to help the family.

According to Ke Lan's observations in the past few days, Ye Yan most likely belongs to the latter.

But it was precisely because of this that he was willing to deal with this fat man. After all, if you "make friends" with the former kind of person, you will be calculating against each other almost every minute. This kind of person who only has interests in his eyes and no emotions may be calling you brothers one second, and the next He sold you secretly in seconds...and the guy who was sold might still be stupidly counting money for others...

…

…

Two days later.

The sixty-four teams that qualified from the group stage boarded the Yip Consortium's super airship "Zulong". This "Zulong" is not only the VIP viewing area for the knockout stage, but also the starting point for the contestants. .

The huge airship slowly sailed into the airspace above the "Abandoned Sandstone City". This ruins arena had been arranged several days in advance. Tens of thousands of drones surrounded the entire arena, and the projection light curtain was like a A super-large energy shield generally shrouded the abandoned city. Thirty-two recovery ships patrolled back and forth above the light screen, and hundreds of laser beacons shot straight into the sky.

The "Ancestral Dragon" will drive forward along the great rift valley in the middle of the ruins. Competitors can parachute at any time before the "Ancestral Dragon" leaves the competition area, and when they land, the signal transmitter will be activated - of course, according to the rules, players who land early are allowed to shoot at players who are parachuting. If the mecha is destroyed in the air, it will also be considered eliminated.

As soon as the "Ancestral Dragon" entered the competition area, two participating teams jumped in - these two teams are ordinary-level teams, and their tactical ideas are obviously not much different from Ke Lan and others.

"Have you seen those laser beacons? Each laser beacon is a supply point. If you want to obtain weapons, ammunition or mecha accessories, you must go to these supply points. The brighter the beacon, the brighter the beacon. It means the supplies at this supply point are richer." Ye Yan was still following Ke Lan and the others, explaining some more detailed rules.

Ke Lan noticed that in the center of the bottom of the rift valley and on the left and right sides of the upper city, there were three extremely bright laser beacons. These three beacons were like three pillars of light, extremely eye-catching.

"Those three positions are super resource points. Although they are very fat, I advise you to give up..." Ye Yan said.

"Of course, I don't want to land in a box." Ke Lan nodded. As he spoke, several wealthy teams jumped out of the cabin and glided towards these three super resource points.

"Let's jump here." Ke Lan selected a supply point on the edge of the ruins. The laser beacon here was very dim. It was difficult to find that there was a supply point in this corner without looking carefully...

"Set off!"
