Chapter 340: The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Showing Their Magical Powers
He Xiaopang didn't expect the players to be so enthusiastic. The serial number on the registration book had been captured at 940, and it was soon approaching the 1,000 mark.
He Xiaopang took a look at the time. It was already 9:30, and it was half an hour before the official competition time was still there. The players outside the Empire State Building still lined up in a long queue. Many players who were originally viewers couldn't help but have the intention to participate after seeing the live broadcast on the glass of the Empire State Building, and they became participants from melon-eating crowds to contestants.
Seeing the players queuing up one after another, He Xiaopang couldn't help but frown.
If this continues, let alone ten o'clock, I'm afraid I can't register even at twelve o'clock.
He Xiaopang thought for a moment, after sending a serial number, he stood up and shouted, "No one behind him should queue up. There are only one thousand numbers issued in total. If you send another 50, you will stop registering."
"Brothers who are queuing up, please pass the news later. Thank you for your kindness!" He Xiaopang bowed and thanked.
The players in the front line showed a gleeful smile on their faces, and by the way, they gloatly passed the news to the back.
Many players stretched out their heads, nodded and counted silently, and found that they breathed a sigh of relief within the fifty. They found that they showed an annoyed expression on their faces outside the fifty, complaining about why they were hesitating for too long and missing the opportunity.
Soon the long dragon lined behind dispersed like dandelions blown by the wind. He Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly registered 50 players.
There were 1,000 contestants, which He Xiaopang had not expected before.
However, He Xiaopang is not a fool. Only a small number of players came to the name of "extreme exploration" from the beginning. Most of the remaining players were attracted by the live broadcast gimmick. According to the players' own words - Mom, I'm on TV!
The happiness of the sand sculpture players is sometimes so simple and...
After the quota was issued, a thousand contestants were concentrated near the central garden. More onlookers sat on the ground and waited for the event to officially start after choosing the best viewing perspective of the Empire State Building.
Each glass has a first-person perspective of 250 contestants, with a total of 1,000 people on all sides.
He Xiaopang walked out of the Empire State Building and stood in front of the gate.
"Thank you for choosing to put down your work on the weekend to support the first White Pig Extreme Sports Championship. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone here. At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone here for free for Han Wang, Ji Ge and Tianwang for providing the venue and services. Without Han Wang's silent efforts, we would not have seen the live broadcast screen in New Yaoke."
He Xiaopang started with polite words, but the necessary procedures still have to be followed.
Brother Ji approached Jiang Han and asked, "Boss, do you want to go and say a few words at the beginning of the competition?"
Jiang Han waved his hand: "I can't go down, and the warriors will inevitably be nervous when they go down. Just go down and say a few words for me and convey the meaning. Don't talk long, remember to be concise! There are still ten minutes left to 10 o'clock, you can grasp the rhythm yourself."
Brother Ji nodded repeatedly, and then flashed outside the Empire State Building.
Brother Ji’s speech has indeed been reduced a lot, and he can summarize it in three sentences.
Play well and carry forward the spirit, long live the cold king.
Timekeeping appeared on the glass on all sides of the Empire State Building. When the time jumped from 9:59:59, He Xiaopang announced that the game had officially begun.
For a moment, the players who were ready to move began to run around like arrows leaving the string.
Many people put things for traveling fare at their feet after signing up. Today, the entire tricycle and bicycle market was rented out.
The Rongchang Pig, Liang Baikai and the Snake God who were speculated on the forum, did not participate in the competition.
According to their original words, this competition is still interesting to participate in the public. If they forcefully participate, it will dispel other players' enthusiasm. What's more, they are not short of money, so it's better to watch the competition with peace of mind.
This is also one of the reasons why players have been actively signing up just now. The old players who know P1 basically don’t take action, but instead give these new players a lot of motivation and expectations. Whoever can get the top three and get a generous bonus will have no worries about food and clothing in the future!
At the beginning of the game, the contestants rode their own cars and each went to "scattered and fled".
Everyone plans different routes, and everyone has their own unique ideas.
The audience downstairs were also excited, and the first-person perspective on the walls of the building was in chaos for a moment.
In the eyes of the audience, Jiang Han directly uses a holographic map on the screen, and the golden dot matrix representing the players quickly dispersed in all directions. At present, a large number of players choose east of New Yaoke, which is the area with the least explored by players, so it is easy to discover new plants or new species.
However, other players also have different opinions, including those heading towards the New Alps to the south, and those galloping towards the Ice Lake, Crater and Faldeng Lake.
Some players rely on their rapid movement and simply use the speed of opening the map to make up for the discovery of new species. After all, after carefully studying the regulations, some players discovered that the points rewards for discovering new plants and species have another hidden prerequisite, that is, come back alive and be the first to submit.
So some players measured the pros and cons and found that instead of pursuing illusory new species, it was better to spend this time on the road to the map.
Players have their own strategies, and for a while, hundreds of boats compete for surprises.
Jiang Han saw a lot of refreshing ways to play.
For example, a player has a leg trait gene. He designed a gliding suit himself, clamped his hands on the gliding suit, and used his legs to jump up and spread his arms. He made his own wings to form buoyancy and could dive and glide in the air at an extremely fast speed, which was much faster than a bicycle or tricycle.
There are also players who have Hawkeye Gene. They find places with higher terrain to observe in advance, and can see the details a few kilometers away at a glance, and plan the safest and most convenient route in advance when they are in action.
Of course, there are also stupid methods, pedaling a bicycle or tricycle and taking a route that you think is rarely visited.
In short, players each have their own ideas, and even have players who choose to cooperate with each other.
All the players sitting under the Empire State Building were confused.
"I thought it would take more than two hours to widen the gap, but I didn't expect the game to bring such a big surprise."
Players sat on the ground in high spirits and watched, and the business-minded players took the opportunity to launch an iron trolley and began to wander among the players.
“Grilled fish, mineral water, cool and canned pulp!”
"Friend, please let me go!"
"Fried sand scorpion, cold-spiced bitter vine, hot and spicy pickled vegetables!"
"One 10 copper coins, one 10 copper coins!"
Damn, this familiar smell!
Soon the gap between the contestants widened significantly.
Chapter completed!
