The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 384: Fierce Battle! Xu Meng adds more money! (Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!)

"Oh my god, luckily I ran fast, it's too scary in there now."

"How long are these people online every day?"

“These boats are too big!”

Outside the light blue boundary of the competition area, an exquisite three-story raft villa floats quietly on the sea.

The villa is not large, only about 30 square meters, but it is built with a strong sense of life.

Not only were the bedrooms and living rooms divided, but all kinds of furniture were also made.

There are even sofas that were fished out of the sea and wool carpets that were traded with others.

In the planting area in the corner, there is a small patch of tomatoes and potatoes, and boxes of supplies are neatly placed on the side.

But the most important thing is that this small villa is full of flowers everywhere!

Even the entire second floor was turned into a greenhouse.

Three casual players, one man and two women, were in the sunny greenhouse, gazing at the huge monsters in the competition area and chatting in a relaxed mood.

They were reluctant to see the sea garden they had built with great effort being smashed into a pile of garbage, so after discussing it, they brought their small gardens to the edge of the competition area early.

I made up my mind that if I was targeted, I would rather quit than let my beloved garden be destroyed.

But what surprised them was that although they were eliminated at the moment of going out of bounds, they were not kicked out of the server.

This small villa on the sea was not taken back by the system either.

They can still watch the game from outside the competition area.

At first, there were only three of them outside the boundary.

But as mirror servers merged, more and more offshore buildings appeared outside the boundaries.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the stadium nervously.
-

A boundary divides two worlds.

Outside the boundaries, the sun is shining.

Within the boundary, the clouds are as dark as ink, and the wind and rain are violent!

A bright flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the clouds, but strangely, it slowly extended downwards at an extremely slow speed.

The speed at which the wind and rain fell also slowed down, and the entire sea area was illuminated little by little.

A human figure appeared at the end of the light.

It's like a god descending to earth.

Before the human figure walked out of the light.

Players inside and outside the arena and viewers in the live broadcast room guessed who this was:
"Who is it? Who is this show-off? It's really hard to guess!"

"Hahaha, I knew Xu Meng wouldn't be invisible the whole time!"

"What is he going to do this time? Cosplaying as Raikou?"

"You know what, this special effect is really cool! But when I think of him telling his employees, 'Design me a super cool entrance special effect,' I feel a little nervous!"

"Hahahaha, he's not going to be the boss again, is he?"

……

The days that Xu Meng disappeared did not affect his extremely high popularity at all.

Now, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he received a warm "welcome"!
Everyone is looking forward to him coming up with something new.

Just like that, amid the expectations of players all over the world, Xu Meng walked out of the lightning.

The first thing he said was unreserved praise.

"First of all, I want to congratulate everyone."

"You successfully caught the development team off guard!"

"Your large-scale teamwork and concerted efforts in construction have made most of the elimination mechanisms designed by the development team completely ineffective!"

"You have all completed the construction of farms. Some teams have even developed a complete marine animal husbandry industry, completely getting rid of the food crisis."

"No matter how many sharks there are, they cannot threaten your habitat - some people even use the huge sharks for their own benefit."

"Wind, rain, thunder and lightning have long been unable to shake your astonishingly large warships."

"Therefore, I must congratulate everyone on behalf of the development team—"

"If this was a single-player game, you would have already finished it!"

When Xu Meng said this, he actually raised his hand and applauded all the surviving players.

Players showed completely different reactions to his action:

Some people were filled with joy and puffed out their chests with pride.

But some people suddenly felt something was wrong - especially the old players, who immediately felt that something bad was going to happen!

Sure enough, after putting down his hand, Xu Meng immediately said:

"But unfortunately! This is not a stand-alone game!"

"There will only be 100 winners of this game! Not hundreds of thousands!"

"so--"

"Next, let's enter the world of the strong!!"

“All the challenges that the development team has prepared for you before—whether it’s marine life or extreme climate—will continue to increase in intensity!”

"Until it increases to 10 times its original maximum strength!"

"As compensation for the increased difficulty, the final 100 winners will not only receive tickets to the offline event, but will also receive an invitation to the closed beta test of the new game, and a free Dream Machine after it is officially released."

"In addition, the last survivor, the one who beats 48 million contestants and survives to the end, will be awarded the title of [Honorary Player]!"

“At the same time, the development team will customize an NPC based on your image and add it to the new game!”

Faced with Xu Meng's continuously increasing rewards, the contestants who were originally worried about the "10 times intensity" suddenly became excited!
Disaster?
It’s hard to get it!
The harder the better! How can you eliminate your opponent if it's not difficult? !
"OK! The rules have been announced!"

"Now, let me see your limits!"

Xu Meng's figure disappeared from the air.

Those gorgeous special effects are also eliminated.

The weather at sea, which was already stormy, quickly became even more extreme!
Lightning as thick as a bucket struck from the clouds onto the sea, and large patches of electric light wandered across the sea.

Heavy rains fell in some areas.

In another part, heavy snow fell and the temperature dropped sharply.

The waves on the ocean became increasingly violent, so much so that the huge ships began to shake.

The large team that was already in a standoff was instantly set on fire!

The square [Wall of Sighs] is at full firepower!

"Oh my God!" Kabo looked up at the overwhelming artillery shells and groaned weakly on the floating raft island in front of them that was four times their size.

On their floating island, they uphold the principle of "equality for all" and all resources are divided equally.

Continuous plundering also made them accustomed to boarding battles.

Almost all the materials were made into armor and weapons for individual use.

Many people even built small shelters and hidden supply storage points in advance to deal with the final stage of fighting among their own people.

This results in very few collective resources being used.

There was almost no means of attacking from a long distance. Facing this iron rain falling from the sky, they had no power to resist!

The next second, the shells fell.

The intensive explosions caused huge damage to the floating island!
——Unlike the previous small and medium-sized ships, the artillery hit rate when attacking these big guys is 100%!

The unlucky players on the floating island were smashed into meat patties on the spot.

Kabo was lucky, although his face was covered with various fragments and he also felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

But at least he's not dead!
But before he could rejoice, the next round of shelling came again!

The floating island itself was built on a loose foundation of rafts, but was later reinforced with a lot of wood.

Under the continued bombardment of the Wall of Sighs, the reinforced wood was quickly destroyed.

The increasingly high waves also caused the floating island to bump up and down, tearing more of the reinforced structure.

In the end, this astonishingly large raft floating island disintegrated under rounds of artillery bombardment without making any effective counterattack.

He almost tore himself into pieces!
……

Kabo and his colleagues’ experience is not an isolated case.

The floating islands without solid physical structures all suffered catastrophic disasters!

At the tail of the giant ship [Iron Will], 80 players controlled their characters and rode bicycles wildly.

Under the magical mechanical mechanics designed by the development team, the two large propellers at the tail of the giant ship slowly increase their speed!
At the bottom of the hull, extended oars protrude from the hull.

The players shouted "Hey yo! Hey yo!" and rowed hard, providing a secondary acceleration for the giant ship.

In front of the giant ship, the solid iron ball on the thick iron chain swung again!
Amidst the wind and rain, there was a loud bang!
A large piece of the huge floating island was immediately smashed down, as if it had been bitten by an invisible giant beast.

The entire floating island shook violently.

The player is standing unsteadily and his vision is shaking violently.

Even the foundation of the floating island was knocked loose.

[Born to be Useful] stood on the edge of the floating island that was smashed by the iron ball, raised the flintlock in his hand in despair, and pulled the trigger at the hull of the [Iron Will] that was as magnificent as a giant wall.

"boom!"

The originally loud gunshots were drowned out by the heavy rain.

The projectiles didn't even touch the giant wall and fell into the sea.

Beside him were even more desperate teammates—their flintlock rifles had been soaked by the heavy rain and had gone misfired.

The invincible big iron ball fell again.

Born to be useful and his teammates, along with the place where they stood, were all smashed into pieces.

Under the action of stress, the reinforced structures at the far end of the floating island that was not attacked broke one after another.

The disintegration has begun.

A large number of panicked players were caught off guard and fell into the sea from the broken part.

In this weather, falling into the water means death!
unless--

You also have a shark mount!
……

Long Chengfei will ride his shark partner to ride the wind and waves!
——He caught a shark and beat it for a long time.

But the shark refused to be his partner.

In desperation, he had to roast the reserve partner and feed it to the next reserve partner.

The second reserve partner is still unwilling.

He also roasted it.

He continued beating and roasting them like this for several days.

I don’t know if it was because the Shark God couldn’t bear it anymore, but on the third day, he asked him to take out a [Shark Reins] from the supply box.

With the help of this rein, his 18th reserve partner was finally successfully converted to a regular employee.

This is the one he is riding now.

On the sea with heavy rain, the Dragon City Flying General wearing a pitch-black diving suit was just a black dot and would not be noticed at all.

A little further away from him, there were five other shark knights, also rapidly approaching the enemy ship.

The barrels of explosives that had been tested for waterproofness were sank underwater after adding weights. They were dragged to the bottom of the enemy ship, secured one by one, and then ignited.

Amidst the fierce flames and explosions, more than thirty large holes were simultaneously broken into the bottom of the fifty- to sixty-meter-long warship.

The sea water rolled in.

The team of Dragon City Flying General took the opportunity to launch a massive attack and decide the outcome in one battle!

……

There was once a player who was struck to death while developing a lightning rod, and his corpse was whipped in public by the director during a special program that day.

The man is gone, but the spirit of exploring and utilizing nature lives on!

In the center of an elegantly shaped octagonal warship, a slender metal spire stretched straight into the clouds.

The blazing lightning kept striking the spire, causing it to continuously emit strong lightning.

After Xu Meng further intensified the extreme weather, the spire gained almost unlimited energy!
In order to avoid being struck by lightning, the deck of the warship was designed to be high in the middle and low around.

All rain will flow naturally along the inclined deck and into the sea without causing any water accumulation.

Chen Zhi, wearing rubber shoes and a raincoat, stepped on the pedal excitedly.

The large crossbow five meters away was activated, and the metal spear, dragging electric light and iron chains, cut through the sky, pierced through the rain curtain, and hit the opponent's deck.

The strong electric current blasted a large ball of plasma on the deck!

Deadly electric currents coursed through the thick water on the deck.

Players within dozens of meters around were almost killed instantly!
Before these dead players fell, more spears emitting lightning cut through the sky and pierced into corners of the warship.

The heavy rain turned every spear into a missile, easily bringing death to large numbers of enemies!
……

As if this sea area wasn't chaotic enough.

The deep-sea monster that had briefly appeared in Count Zero's live broadcast room before and caused him a huge psychological trauma——

[Kraken]

Also reappeared!
It stretched out its eight terrifying dark green tentacles and indiscriminately attacked all the ships and creatures around it.

A blue whale that had never appeared before and was no less large than the Kraken also surfaced to breathe.

However, the small fountain at the blowhole location made the players on a nearby giant ship mistakenly believe that enemy troops had descended from the water.

Without thinking, he adjusted the crossbow and shot a spear over.

The blue whale suffered an unexpected disaster and was immediately enraged, and it rammed towards the warship!
There are also sharks that move in groups, and inexplicable schools of piranhas...

……

……

In the chaotic sea, war broke out in every corner.

Even the experienced director was a little flustered and didn't know where to put the main shot.

——Because at this moment, the scenes on every battlefield are so exciting!

Giving up either one would make him feel like he was committing a crime!
In his opinion, the intensity of the battle has reached the climax of this competition!
