When the trainer who accidentally "acted" was tied tightly to the stake and was frightened to tears by the realistic phantom of flames, the entire live broadcast room was filled with joyful air.
As the first person to be eliminated due to drama in this Snowstorm Battle, this contestant received eight high-definition live broadcasts from different angles and was featured on the most-watched "Main Story Channel" - even though he himself 100% don't want this lens. The video tried its best to exaggerate the solemn and terrifying atmosphere, even dimming the picture and adding eerie background music. Unfortunately, the audience still typed "wwwwwwww" all over the screen.
——After all, as we all know, "the contestants make a lot of fools of themselves" is also one of the highlights of the Snowy Battle.
[Hahahahaha I laughed so much that my neighbor called the police]
[Another person who doesn’t read the clearance guide before entering the competition]
[I came too late this year. Last year, we were kicked out within ten minutes of the opening.]
【Want information? If you win, I will give it to you, but no Pokémon is allowed, ah, no Warcraft hhhh]
[It’s a clear trap to trap newcomers, whoever falls for it will be mentally retarded]
Over the years, there has never been a shortage of side plots like this that simply don’t work out in the Snow and Snow Battles. The fans all agreed that this was a bad-intentioned organizer who wanted to lure the contestants into acting in order to make the live broadcast more interesting. And just as they were laughing and teasing the unlucky child who was being burned at the stake in the picture, they saw the camera turn and suddenly cut back to the arena in the ice and snow.
"No. 37, because he is too tall, he is excluded; No. 38, because his hair is black, he is also excluded... Oh my God, how long will it take to find this?"
Xiaojie pushed the computer in despair and fell down in front of the table.
In order to find their friends, the Golden Retriever brothers and sisters started a big project: they watched all 300 single-player live broadcast rooms, first excluded some people based on their height and hair color, and then used intuition to target the remaining ones. But this was so laborious and laborious that the two of them just wanted to teleport over and hit their friend on the head hard to make her spit out the number.
Just when the two were dizzy, Xiaotian's voice came from the video call.
"found it."
The golden retrievers stood up like Magikarp, "What's the number?"
"You watch the main channel." Xiaotian replied.
After hearing this, Xiaojie and Xiaoling clicked into the main live broadcast room with the largest number of people - and then looked at the strange scene on the screen and the dense question marks, exclamation marks and ellipsis on the screen, and they were speechless for a long time.
When the sound of the sword cutting through the air approached fiercely, the patrol captain did not feel the slightest sense of crisis.
He is indeed a powerful ice ability user - or in other words, an ice mage. The young man waved his hand, and ice edges rose up layer by layer from the bottom of his feet, spreading to the adventurer's feet almost in the blink of an eye.
Of course, the captain of the patrol had no intention of harming the opponent. The sharp tip of the ice edge had been erased. Even if it hit him, it would only knock the person under the ring. However, the lightning-fast ice edge was in vain - the adventurer wearing a white cloak disappeared like the wind.
Then, without warning, the sound of boots hitting the ice sounded behind him.
The young man had been an executive for a period of time, and his vigilance was suddenly aroused in surprise. He instinctively stepped back to distance himself, turned around and released a sharp ice blade.
The moment the attack was launched, he secretly thought something bad - it was the most commonly used attack method by the Himi family. The ice blade was fast and ruthless, making it a truly lethal weapon. But before he could feel annoyed, the snow-white figure flashed through the circle of ice blades like a bird riding on clouds, and the iron sword in his hand was already glowing with a cold light.
The patrol leader no longer thought about the appropriateness of his action. Under his control, the thick ice rose from the ground and turned into a wall to protect himself. The next moment, the iron sword collided heavily with the ice wall.
Amidst the deafening explosions, the seemingly thin one-handed sword actually shattered the ice shield. For a moment, broken ice flew and mist filled the sky. Only the galaxy-like sword light that pierced through the barrier was extremely dazzling.
Seeing the person coming towards him with a cold air and unstoppable force, the young man had no choice but to hurriedly raise his hand and fire the ice blade again, trying to slow down the opponent's pace. The adventurer wasted no time to dodge. The flying sword light intertwined into an airtight network in front of him, cutting off all incoming objects.
The ice blade collided with the sword light one after another, causing a swirl of ice mist. The patrol leader vaguely saw the figure blurred in the ice mist for a moment - and in this short moment, the sound of the whizzing sword blade was already very close at hand!
When the young man noticed that the other party had sneaked up behind him again, it was already too late to react. He tried to twist around, but the thin ice layer had just begun to condense and was completely useless as a defense; and the sword light was as powerful as a bamboo, piercing the unformed ice wall easily, and the edged weapon in his field of vision was sharp, Approaching the flesh and blood body little by little——
"boom!"
The situation in the ring changes too quickly. Both the members of the patrol team and the onlookers remained stunned, watching as the unlucky patrol leader was severely slapped away and fell headlong into the snowdrift outside the ring.
The whole fight was vigorous and vigorous, like a life-and-death battle between enemies, which made the onlookers a little panicked. Fortunately, the Himi clan members who fell into the snow quickly stood up. Seeing that his expression remained normal, everyone heaved a sigh of relief - and turned their awe-inspiring gaze to the winner on the ring.
The actor who played the role of the patrol leader was caught off guard by the contestants and suffered a small loss, but he did not feel angry, and his expression actually softened a lot.
At the end of the fight, he clearly saw that the iron sword reversed its angle at the last moment, and instead of hurting the person with its sharp edge, it used its broad blade to knock him away. Even the seemingly turbulent force was mostly restrained, and the final impact was quite soft, pushing the person a few meters away was already the limit. Let alone an adult man, even a ten-year-old girl would not be hurt by such force.
"I'm willing to surrender - the victory of this battle belongs to you." The young man saluted his opponent with a smile, "I'm sorry to tell you my name now. I am the son of the second elder of the Himi family, the 'Guardian of Curling' Jean .”
The victorious adventurer sheathed his sword and humbly returned the same courtesy to him - now this man looked nothing like the sharp swordsman in the ring.
"Thank you for your advice. My name is Beidou, I am just an unknown adventurer."
Undoubtedly, it would be unbelievable to defeat an experienced ice user with just one person and one sword, but Gene, who plays the patrol captain, doesn't care about this - he only sees that the person in front of him is very skilled and can take his lines well. It's just right, he must be the favorite type of player among all the actors.
Thinking of this, the smile on Gene's face became more sincere, "I'm willing to admit defeat. I will tell you some useful information now."
The onlookers pricked up their ears, trying to find out something. Helplessly, the speaker's voice was very low and the content was very brief. Soon, the two said goodbye to each other peacefully and walked off the ring.
Station N live broadcast room.
It wasn't until the arena on the screen was empty that all kinds of punctuation marks barely stopped flooding the screen.
[Absolutely, didn’t you say this was a trap for newcomers?]
[According to the routine, the contestants must be tricked into speaking inappropriately and eliminated. Who could have thought of the problem...]
[Let you see what the shredding routine is.jpg]
[Wait, friends, did you hear clearly the name of the contestant just now?]
[It’s called Beidou]
[This name is not suitable for the occasion, why can’t I give it a Western name www]
[I want to say...Has anyone watched this year’s Quartz League? 】
【……】
[Japanese, I may understand what you mean]
In front of the computer, Xiaojie and Xiaoling looked at the barrage with solemn faces and began to discuss "Beidou"'s great achievements in the Quartz League, as well as the large-scale appearance of [Contestant Beidou hammers the terrorist's head.gif] in the comment area, and then They all looked at Xiaotian during the video call.
"Captain, this may be the moment when our Dawn Team becomes most famous nationwide."
Xiao Tian:"……"
On the other side, under the gray sky of Fengxue Villa, Xiaoye, who had just stepped off the ring, communicated with the captain thousands of miles away, and spit out a string of identical punctuation points: "..."
She endured it again and again, and finally said, "What's wrong with you?"
The onlookers were almost gone, but Lijiu and Long Xing still stared at her with stupid faces, making Xiaoye feel hairy all over.
The siblings looked at each other, not knowing what they were communicating with each other, and nodded firmly together.
"Boss!" Lijiu stepped forward and firmly grasped Xiaoye's sleeves, "We are convinced! From now on, we will follow you, boss. Please take us in!"
"That's right!" Not to be outdone, Long Xing reached out and grabbed the other side, "We promise to be loyal. If you say go east, we will never go west!"
Xiaoye was already immune to the X-point cool literary style speeches made by the two roommates from time to time. She calmly modified their words into normal semantics in her mind, "Do you mean to form a team? I agree. The purpose of this competition is The venue is very big, so it’s really not suitable for playing alone.”
The Terashima siblings cheered together. Seeing that the screen was about to spit out the standard lines of the male protagonist Long Aotian's younger brother in the next moment, Xiaoye clapped her hands quickly, "——Why don't we talk about the information we just got?"
Seeing that the attention of the two unlucky children was immediately diverted, Xiaoye calmly breathed a sigh of relief and repeated the information provided by the patrol captain Jean.
What he said was simple and clear, but important enough.
Although the third elder said in the meeting that "the Elder's Mansion will test and register the merits of all adventurers, and it is recommended that adventurers settle the accounts together on the last day", as long as time permits, it is best to register once a day to show that "you still have something to do" There is room for more work to be done.”
——Because in the original plan, the adventurers were given not two tasks, but three.
After finishing speaking, Xiaoye and the others remembered the important information they had unexpectedly obtained and continued their unfinished inspection of the villa.
Time passed by for half a day. After walking through almost all the buildings that could be explored and chatting with all the NPCs that could be talked to, the three of them stopped under a roof.
"What do you think?" Xiaoye looked at Lijiu and Long Xing.
Since these living siblings had to act out a big brother and little brother drama in the snowy battle, Xiaoye had no choice but to cooperate with the performance and temporarily act as the leader of the team to match the atmosphere of the game. When the "boss" spoke, the two of them immediately stood at attention and spoke politely one by one.
"Reporting to the boss, I found that there are many empty houses in Fengxue Villa. Many people have said that this villa was newly built recently and they were hastily moved here to avoid the storm, so they should not have the energy to build so many empty houses. "Lijiu reported seriously.
"Report to the boss, I am also concerned about something. All the Himi clan members are wearing the same jade bracelet. Not only are adventurers not allowed to touch it, but they are also unwilling to explain why they are wearing it." Long Xing spoke louder than his sister. .
Seeing that the two of them had finished their reports, Xiao Ye suddenly felt tired and tired as she cast her gaze towards "asking the boss to speak" - and this kind of treatment might last for another week.
She shook her head and was about to speak when her movements suddenly stopped.
"Did you hear anything?"
The Terashima siblings looked at each other, then raised their ears and tried to catch the movement around them.
"It seems...someone is crying?" Lijiu said uncertainly.
The three of them followed the sound of sobs and came to a remote pine forest behind the villa.
The snow-covered forest was silent, and any noise became extremely obvious. Soon, they found the source of the sound - a girl who looked to be no more than seven or eight years old fell into the snow and was trying to stand up unsteadily.
The mountainous terrain with heavy snow was not conducive to walking, and the girl's feet seemed to be injured, making it difficult for her to even stand. She was dragging several heavy bundles of firewood in her hands and refused to let go no matter what. She gritted her teeth and held back her tears as she trudged hard in the snow.
The girl seemed startled when she heard footsteps. But after seeing clearly that the person was wearing an adventurer's white cloak, she immediately spoke in a trembling voice: "Adventurers! Please, can you send these firewood to my grandfather's house? I, I can pay you. of……"
The three of them looked at each other.
"certainly."
Lijiu and Longxing shared the weight of the firewood half and half in a tacit understanding, while Xiaoye stepped forward and carried the girl with an injured foot on her back without any explanation.
Seeing that the crying little girl was still in a daze, Xiaoye smiled and softened her tone, "So, now you are our employer - please show us the way?"
It wasn't until the girl was sent back to where she and her grandfather lived that the three of them understood why she was so desperate to bring the firewood back to the house.
The Fengxue Mountain is as cold as winter all year round, and the wooden walls of the houses cannot completely withstand the cold. A fire must be lit in the furnace to ensure a suitable temperature. The little girl's family has very little firewood left, but her grandfather is a bedridden patient.
"Really... thank you all adventurers very much." After turning the flames on the stove back to full strength, the little girl wiped her tears with gratitude or fear, and bowed deeply to the person who helped her.
The girl's name is Lily, and she lives with her grandfather. According to her, there was originally a maid in the family who was hired by her parents before they left Fengxue Mountain. But a few days ago, the maid died of a sudden illness, and the little girl had to shoulder the burden of taking care of her grandfather.
Fengxue Villa was very helpful to them, providing them with food free of charge, so they didn't have to run around for food rations - but Lily, the only one with mobility in the family, was too young and accidentally broke her foot while collecting firewood in the back mountain. If she fails to come back in time, the fire without firewood will gradually extinguish, and one can imagine what terrible disaster will happen to the bedridden old man.
While Xiaoye listened to the girl telling her story intermittently, she helped her apply medicine and bandage. Of course, this little girl from the Himi family did not really hurt herself for the script. The seemingly red and swollen ankle was just an illusion painted by paint. . Although Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief, she still completed the bandaging according to the correct steps with a dedicated attitude.
And in my heart, I was in awe of the injured seven-year-old girl who performed so realistically.
The old man lying on the bed didn't seem to be very conscious, and he muttered words that no one could understand from time to time. Lily carefully covered her grandfather with a quilt, and then seriously announced that she would pay the adventurers.
Even if they knew they were acting, it was impossible for the Nanguo siblings to embarrass a little girl. When the three of them combined, they agreed to stay here for a meal, which would be considered as transportation expenses for firewood and the wounded.
After having lunch together, Lily seemed less nervous and showed a bit of the liveliness that a little girl of this age should have. She raised her face curiously and looked at Xiaoye with her round green eyes, "Sir Adventurer, what do the third elders want to entrust you with? Is it dangerous? I have to take care of grandpa in the morning, so I can't even go to the meeting."
"It's just a very ordinary job." Xiaoye replied with a smile, "The third elder said that Fengxue Mountain Villa is plagued by monsters and hopes that we can clean up the monsters in the mountain."
As soon as she finished speaking, before Lily could reply, the old man lying on the bed suddenly let out a hoarse roar.
Lily was startled and thought her grandfather was unwell, so she hurriedly stumbled to the bed. The white-haired old man struggled for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and glanced at the adventurer in the room with a sword-like gaze.
The long-ill man's speech was not clear, but Xiaoye still recognized his words.
"The Himi family has been here as Warcraft users for generations...how can we be ungrateful!"
====================
small theater:
Xiaoye: (hesitating) Did you hear anything?
Lijiu: (continuously) It seems... someone is crying?
A seven-year-old girl who was injured during a performance and acted realistically: (Proud) Guess how I made my cry reach a hundred meters away?
