My Elf Simulator
Chapter 322 Red Moon in the Sky
Time flies by in silent contemplation.
The performance on the stage ends, and the semi-final match that follows also ends with screams.
The two ability users mentioned earlier, fire control and illusion, were finally won by the fire control ability user Pang Kaiyang.
This is similar to people's expectations. It does not mean that the two abilities are directly superior or inferior, but in a restricted environment, the more direct the output ability is, the more helpful it is for the arena battle.
As for the other opponent in the finals, the player who defeated Ji Qingwen, Hei Ze is no stranger.
She is Zhang Qingzi, who performed well in the Haitang Summer League last year.
Her performance this year is still outstanding.
The mechanical elf team is better than last year in both combat performance and energy value.
The elf master is a profession that values talent very much. One step faster, often every step faster.
At the end of today's schedule, Hei Ze stood up and left the venue under everyone's gaze.
Finals day.
Hei Ze did not continue to go to the venue to watch the game.
Instead, he chose to go home and watch it on TV in the living room with his parents.
Kurosawa's parents usually wouldn't miss such finals in the past, and this was even more so after Kurosawa awakened his psychic power and became an elf master. They would not miss any of the games in Haitang City.
In the living room, the six elves used the Anbu props to transform into small forms and ran around on the carpet.
The final officially started at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The family turned on the air conditioner in the living room, cooked hot pot, and watched the performances before the finals in the billowing steam.
Kurosawa was actually not very interested in this game.
He had observed the strength of the two players in advance, so the final was thrilling for others, but there was not much suspense for him.
"Eat more, you have been getting thinner and thinner since you went out to work." Kurosawa's mother, Ms. Tao, kept putting food into Kurosawa's bowl with distress.
At the same time, she also naggingly condemned Kurosawa's unscrupulous leader.
Kurosawa accepted everything, and his body shape would not change because of his appetite.
However, he also knew that his mother was only concerned about him.
The other six little ones at the table also came closer, some jumped onto Kurosawa's knees, some climbed onto his shoulders, and crowded around Kurosawa.
Soon, the game officially began with the host's passionate shouts.
The family seemed to have returned to a few years ago, gathering together to watch the game and eat hot pot.
At this moment, there were many families like Kurosawa who were eating dinner with their families and watching the game.
Compared with the finals of previous years, the ratings of this year's finals did not cause as much heated discussion on the Internet, but the number of viewers increased instead of decreasing.
The former is because the two finalists are not native Haitang locals, especially Pang Kaiyang, who the audience knows less about. Facing such a final, it is difficult to expect the audience to be restless and lack emotional connection.
As for the latter, the increase in the number of viewers is mainly due to the overall upward trend of the Haitang League environment, which is the result of the continuous growth of the audience base.
Kurosawa played with his mobile phone, and occasionally looked up to glance at the situation on the TV.
On his mobile phone, he was still lurking in the WeChat chat.
The small group formed by Ji Qingwen, the class group in his past student days, the Haitang Elf Master Group, and his personal fan group are all discussing the Haitang Summer Finals that are currently underway.
From time to time, someone tries to @him out to express his opinions.
Of course, Kurosawa mostly watches the chats silently and does not participate in the discussion, especially in the group chats with more outsiders.
Maybe he just said something in the group, and the next second it will be transferred to the forum and news.
The more famous you are, the more you need to be careful in your actions and words.
While the spotlight brings heat, it also makes more people focus on you. Every word and action may be magnified, bringing various influences and results.
Although the finals adopted a small singles competition system, the competition time was not short.
Eating hot pot while watching the game, plus the pre-match performance session, it lasted about two hours in total.
In the end, as Kurosawa predicted before the game, the winner was Zhang Qingzi.
Although she is not a person with natural abilities and has some disadvantages in this regard, her combat intelligence and on-the-spot response are quite good.
Before there is a clear gap in strength, the player's own command quality actually has a great impact on the battle.
Kurosawa saw this in the semi-final match between her and Ji Qingwen yesterday. She and Kurosawa are similar to each other to some extent. They are both players with delicate and precise command.
The style of the players can actually be seen very intuitively from the battle scene.
Some open and close, invade like fire, and immediately become like a barrel of explosives when they enter the battle state. In this way, they put great pressure on the opponent, and capture the opponent's weaknesses exposed by this, and end the battle.
Some players have a fighting style like playing chess, slow and steady, and command very finely, pulling the opponent into their own rhythm step by step.
Others like to play defensive counterattacks. No matter what combat strategy the opponent adopts, they will respond conservatively, try not to take the initiative, and use the tortoise shell tactics, waiting for the opponent to show obvious flaws before counterattacking.
The fighting style is determined by many factors, including the elf master's personality, talent, elf lineup, attribute tendencies, on-the-spot response, etc.
"This girl is so awesome. If I remember correctly, she seemed to be the champion in the summer competition last year." Ms. Tao couldn't help but praise as she looked at Zhang Qingzi holding the championship trophy on the TV screen. "He's good-looking too."
"Well, apart from Kurosawa, she also performed best in the Haitang team during the Provincial League." Kurosawa's father took a sip of beer and nodded.
Ms. Tao looked at the TV screen and suddenly turned to look at Kurosawa.
Kurosawa was hugging Flora, lying on the sofa and answering messages on his cell phone. Suddenly he felt the gaze from the side and glanced at his mother in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you know this person?" Ms. Tao sat closer.
"who?"
"Who else could it be? That girl on the TV." Ms. Tao pointed to the TV.
On the screen, Zhang Qingzi just received the championship trophy. The sky full of ribbons and lights made her look dazzling and extraordinarily beautiful.
"I guess we know each other." Kurosawa hesitated for a moment and nodded. "But not very familiar."
"How old is she?"
"I don't know. Why don't you check it on your phone?" Kurosawa smiled.
Ms. Tao pinched his arm gently.
"How come you kid doesn't know anything? You said you are nineteen this year, so you should start preparing for a family, right?"
"Too early." Kurosawa looked helpless.
In fact, he had just guessed what Ms. Tao was going to say.
The age at which elf masters marry men and women is generally relatively late. The more aspirants are in this way, the more so. It is extremely normal for people in their forties or fifties not to have found a partner yet.
Kurosawa is only 19 now. In terms of age, he is just a small seedling to the vast community of elf masters. Ms. Tao is now eager to urge him to find a partner, which is somewhat exaggerated.
Besides, he is currently focused on becoming stronger and has no intention of talking about relationships for the time being.
After calmly dealing with Ms. Tao, who always wanted to come out at once, the awards ceremony for the summer competition ended on the TV screen, and the audience began to exit in an orderly manner.
"Bang bang bang!"
Brilliant summer night fireworks light up the sky.
The camera stayed on the bright fireworks scene, when Kurosawa picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the TV.
Suddenly, in the sky above the TV screen, a gibbous moon suddenly started to glow red from below.
Is there a blood moon phenomenon today?
When Kurosawa was in junior high school, his science teacher talked about the red moon and blood moon phenomena, which seemed to be related to the total lunar eclipse. However, the color of the red moon photo in his impression seemed to be more orange-red and not very deep.
The blush on the moon on the TV was so deep that it even looked like blood.
"Isn't this normal?"
Kurosawa pinched his chin.
He turned around and asked his parents who were about to leave the living room. After confirming with them that he had read correctly, he carried Flora to the balcony.
The wind is a bit strong tonight, and the summer evening breeze is blowing on my face, even a bit cold and desolate like autumn.
Kurosawa looked up to the horizon.
The red coverage area of the moon is getting larger and larger, starting from a small point below and gradually extending upward.
The blood-red and silver-white moon disks complement each other, making the scene very strange and unsettling.
Kurosawa couldn't tell whether this was a normal astronomical phenomenon or if something strange was happening.
But after glancing at his parents behind him, he returned to his room from the balcony, calmly reassuring him that it was just an ordinary change in the sky and there was no need to make a fuss as he returned to his room.
He closed the door and looked at his phone.
Various group chats are also discussing the blood moon that appears in the sky.
This blood moon seems to be visible only in most of Hanquan Province and parts of two or three other surrounding provinces.
Some people are using the transparency of the atmosphere, the length of wavelength, and the scattering and absorption of light to explain the appearance of the blood moon.
Some people say that this is a sign of great misfortune.
There are different opinions, but one thing is clear, this blood moon appeared very suddenly.
Before this, there was no forecast to remind citizens about the appearance of the red moon. Various meteorological agencies did not make any news before it appeared. It was only in the past two or three minutes that some news was released and reports were delayed.
"A special total lunar eclipse is coming! Citizens do not need to panic! This total lunar eclipse is the one with a relatively small observable area in the past ten years, and the only visible area is Hanquan Province in my country."
Kurosawa scratched his head and didn't comment.
Then, he closed his eyes, and his perception of the power of nature quietly expanded.
The sound of wind, swaying branches, earth, air, people, squirming insects, everything was clearly presented in his perception network.
There is no change in the environment.
For a long time, he gathered his senses and shook his head helplessly.
Anyway, at least now, he doesn't know the real reason for the blood moon.
Wait for the information.
At least as a master elf master, if there is the real reason for the red moon, he should be among the first people to know.
Half an hour later, the red moon reached its peak, filling the entire gibbous moon.
The crimson moon has no trace of color and is very dazzling.
After the red moon is fully formed and reaches its peak, it begins to fade again, and the red color slowly begins to shrink from below.
Finally, the redness, which lasted for about an hour, completely disappeared.
The moon disk in the sky turned white again, as if the blood red that appeared just now was just an illusion in a dream and never existed at all.
"Is it really a sudden ordinary astronomical phenomenon?"
Kurosawa was puzzled when he saw the moon return to normal.
He lay back on the bed and slightly suppressed the various suspicions in his heart.
If it had nothing to do with disasters and chaos, and was just an astronomical phenomenon caused by atmospheric transparency, it would be the best.
Late at night, he didn't have the heart to leave home to investigate again.
The elves squeezed into his bed, and the night passed quickly in the excitement.
——
The next day, the sun rose.
The summer sun is particularly scorching.
But the impact of the red moon last night did not dissipate with the appearance of the scorching sun.
There are still many people discussing it on the Internet.
In fact, its impact is not just on the Internet level. Last night happened to be almost the end of the show. Because the blood moon appeared and attracted attention, the number of traffic accidents increased a lot.
However, because it retreated quickly, after a night, the impact on reality was only an increase in traffic accidents. Now most netizens do not demonize it too much, and only think it is an occasional wonder.
The same is true for Kurosawa.
He and his parents sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.
Vegetables, omelette with white porridge.
The breakfast at Kurosawa's house has always been very light. It has been a long time since he had breakfast with his parents at home.
Kurosawa ate very slowly and enjoyed this rare moment.
After drinking three bowls of porridge, Kurosawa suddenly stopped picking up the dishes, and his left trouser pocket vibrated.
He took out the "mobile phone" from his pocket as if nothing had happened.
The vibrating mobile phone was not the mobile phone he used daily, but the contact device of the Anbu.
Even if he was on vacation, as long as he was still a member of the Anbu, he had to carry this device with him.
Generally speaking, this contact device would not have a vibration prompt, and ordinary information reception would not be, unless it was a more urgent temporary task.
This was also the reason why he was subconsciously stunned.
He silently glanced at the content on the screen, and then put the device back into his pocket with a calm face.
Kurosawa drank the porridge in his hand in one gulp, picked up Flora on the stool beside him and stood up slowly.
"I'm full."
"Eat more, you eat so little today, I deliberately cooked more." Ms. Tao looked up and said.
"I can't eat anymore. I don't have a good appetite today." Kurosawa moved his wrist. "Mom, I'm going out for a while. The club needs me for something."
"Will you come back for lunch?"
"Probably not. There will probably be a dinner party. Just make your own meals. Don't leave any for me." Kurosawa answered casually.
He returned to his room to get some things, took back most of the elves, and then left home.
