"Master, do you want to buy some equipment?" Alpha's mechanical voice sounded.
As Saldia's high-end intelligence, it can naturally continue to follow her in the Star Network.
"Forget it, no money." Charlotte rejected its proposal.
I spent a lot of money renting a virtual cabin before, but now I don’t have enough balance, so I know I can’t afford good equipment without even thinking about it. As for the bad equipment, it won’t be of much use if you buy it.
She wasn't going there for the ranking in the competition, she just wanted to let off some pressure, so it didn't matter whether the equipment was good or bad.
Before officially entering the game, you will enter the mecha attribute debugging interface to make final adjustments to the mecha's performance.
Throughout the mecha league, contestants can only drive mechas to carry out activities and show their appearance as mechas.
The debugging interface is an independent space visible only to each contestant, and is only open half a day before the official competition. After the game officially starts, this interface will be closed and the various equipment of the mecha can no longer be adjusted.
The Gevos Virtual Mecha Super League allows people to bring their own mechas or equipment. Participants can choose what they are used to, as long as the parameter values do not exceed the upper limit set by the competition.
Basically, no one would directly use the initial mecha assigned by the system like Charlotte. After all, the performance was too low and uncompetitive.
Who is serious about participating in competitions and doesn’t want to get as high a ranking as possible to prove their own strength? This will also greatly promote their future development.
Of course, StarNet is also good at making money. It has invested so much in the whole game. In addition to gaining popularity, it naturally also hopes to make money. It can't let its employees in various departments drink from the northwest, right?
In the debugging interface, if contestants need to temporarily add equipment that they have not prepared, they can also purchase it from the Star Network platform. Expensive, cheap, with various functions, there are many types.
It’s just that according to Alpha, the price is generally more expensive than ordinary sellers outside. After all, it is an official platform, so it can only be said that the quality can be guaranteed.
However, the StarNet platform does not have specially customized equipment, so the real masters, those who are the favorites to win the championship, will not choose the mecha equipment of the StarNet platform. Almost all of their bodies are specially customized.
Charlotte didn't waste any time on the equipment. He directly selected them all with one click and used the original configuration of the system.
The next step is to pick a name. Throughout the game, the names of each contestant will be suspended above the head of each mecha to distinguish each other until the end of the game.
Charlotte casually wrote "123" in the input box floating in front of her, and then clicked the generate button.
"This username has been occupied, please rename it." The system's mechanical female voice sounded.
Charlotte didn't think much and quickly typed in the words "passerby A".
However, this time, what was waiting for her was still the electronic female voice saying "This username has been taken, please rename it."
Charlotte continued to enter "passerby 123456789", and the system voice that answered her was still "the username has been occupied".
Charlotte: "There are so many people playing in this game?"
Alpha immediately answered the questions: "Because it is only held every three years, the number of participants is naturally large. Moreover, Master, you came online too late. Many multi-player interfaces were debugged as soon as they were opened."
Charlotte didn't believe in evil, so she moved her finger and entered the word "Cuihua" again.
When the system again sounded the message "This username has been taken, please rename it", Charlotte couldn't help but asked three questions in a row: "Does anyone have such a name? Are you sure he's not doing it to make fun of you? I'm not talking about everyone. Are they all serious people coming to compete?"
Alpha's mechanical voice sounded again: "The vast majority of people are participating in the competition, but there are also many people watching. There are many people who have the mentality of on-site learning and feel that it will be more rewarding to watch directly at close range. These people usually Consciously use some... uh... the kind of names you just chose, Master, and leave the resources of good names to the players who actually participate in the competition."
Charlotte said "haha" twice: "Then I really have to thank them for their awareness."
She moved her fingers and continued to name.
But no matter what name she chose, the result was the same without exception.
Charlotte: "..."
Alpha watched as his master tried name after name, but all of them were unregistered.
It silently began to retrieve troubleshooting information. The owner's face began to darken and her brows began to wrinkle. She felt that if she continued, she might explode before the game started.
After searching for a while, Alpha immediately said: "Master, I have a good proposal."
Charlotte, who was struggling with the username, stopped when he heard this and motioned for it to continue.
Alpha continued: "I just conducted a big data search. There is a name that is well-known to everyone on earth, but its popularity in the Star Federation is not high. It has not been registered yet. Master, you are also No need to add various numbers at the end.”
Charlotte raised her eyebrows: "What name? I didn't think of it just now?"
She had just picked up a whole bunch of names on earth, all the bad ones, could she have missed anything else?
Alpha's mechanical voice sounded calmly: "Master, it's 'Long Aotian'."
Charlotte: "..."
She was speechless for a moment.
Alpha asked again: "Master, do you want to use this name? The game is about to start, and we don't have much time left."
The owner didn't seem to care much about the game. He only logged in late at night. This was a big taboo for newbies. Alpha couldn't help but sigh with meddling.
Looking at the countdown floating box before the official start of the game, there was really not much time. Charlotte finally took a deep breath: "Forget it, let's call it 'Long Aotian'."
With one click, "Long Aotian" appears.
The Gevos Virtual Mecha Super League is divided into three stages: preliminary, semi-finals and finals.
The first two days are the preliminary round, and there is a day off after the preliminary round. Then the rematch will also last for 2 days, and after the end, you will have a day of rest as usual. Day 7 is the one-day finals.
The rules of the preliminary round are very simple and crude, that is, kill other mechas. Each kill results in 1 point, and the players are ranked according to the number of points scored. In the end, it is the first half of the people who can enter the semi-finals.
Leaving the initial debugging interface, Charlotte was immediately transported to the waiting hall.
There is already a crowd of people here, no, to be precise, it should be a large group of mechas.
As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of mechas.
Everyone either gathers together in twos or threes, or is used to being alone.
Charlotte's appearance did not attract the attention of others. After all, even her mecha was so crude, and she looked like a rookie at first glance.
