Abnormal crossing

Chapter 240 The upcoming mech team competition!
Kite Song?

Why would she suddenly contact me?

Could it be that there's something wrong with the artificial universe again?

Or is it some other academic question?

While guessing what might be going on, Gu Wei quickly replied to the message: [I'm here, what's up?]

Yuange: [You replied instantly. By the way, do you remember that team competition I mentioned to you before?]

Team competition?
Gu Wei was taken aback, then immediately remembered what Yuan Ge had pointed to: [I remember, what's wrong?]

Coincidentally.

When Yuan Ge last visited Gu Wei, he had just arrived in Molde, and the wealthy woman had told her some news:
The video of the previous civil war was uploaded to the largest video website in Starsea. Due to the skillful operation, the number of views was barely considered a small explosion.

So the team's founder, Brother Bing, also known as the Red Elite Soldier, added himself to the candidate list for the next team competition. At that time, Yuange came to inquire about his intention to participate.

Team battles are one of the official battle types in Mech Overlords, and they are divided into eighteen levels. The higher the level, the more players will be battling.

The Red Elite Soldier's "Unfinished" team is currently in the third tier, so the number of players in team matches is thirty against thirty.

Just as Gu Wei was recalling the relevant details, another communication came from Yuan Ge's side:

[The team match time has been set for three days from now at 2 PM. Brother Bing has arranged for you to start. Do you have time?]

Gu Wei let out a soft exclamation.

Eh?
How could it be so fast?

Didn't Yuange say that the list should be submitted a month in advance?
It's been less than half a month since that day. Even if you add the next three days, it's only been a little over twenty days, right?

According to the original itinerary of the fleet.

The team competition will likely only officially begin after the Sora Empire, the hometown of Paya Shinya, the designer of Fishing Man's Wrath, has been visited.

I didn't expect it to be ahead of schedule?

Besides, this guy actually made the starting lineup?

At the time, it seemed that Yuan Ge was adding herself to the substitute list, and would only be promoted to the starting lineup if there was a shortage of players.
And the other side.

Seemingly anticipating Gu Wei's question, Yuan Ge's status bar quickly changed to "typing," and a short while later, an explanation appeared:
The next team battle was originally scheduled for 23 days later, but the official Mechmasters team moved the battle time forward, which meant many team members were unable to participate. Therefore, I moved you from the reserve bench to the starting lineup. Of course, it depends on your individual situation. If you are unavailable or unwilling to start, I will replace you, as the opponents are quite strong.

Seeing this, Gu Wei suppressed the many thoughts that had been swirling in his mind and typed: [Advanced timing? How could the official team be so unreliable?]

Another few seconds of waiting.

Iris Song: [It's not that it's unreliable, but the specifics are highly confidential and cannot be disclosed to the public for the time being. In short, you can understand it as a large event coming up that requires freeing up server bandwidth resources in advance, so the team competition, which is not a real-time match, has been brought forward.]

Gu Wei: "?"

Do you need to free up server bandwidth for an event?

Is the level of secrecy very high?
This is quite a lot of information.
The concept of bandwidth is quite easy to understand.

The bandwidth that Yuange mentioned is probably not simply the frequency band or digital signal, but rather refers to the various resources needed to construct the team battle map—somewhat similar to the modeling and calculation of game scene transformation on Earth. With the team battle schedule moved forward, the freed-up resources can naturally be used for events to be held later.

However, the problem is that the number of registered users of the game "Mech Overlord" exceeds half of the population of Star Ocean, and the number of daily battles is astronomical. Therefore, the game's official team has long prepared matching servers for it and reserved a considerable amount of spare capacity.

In this situation.

Mech Overlord actually needs to free up resources in advance by holding team battles ahead of time?
This is very intriguing.
There's also the level of secrecy that Yuange mentioned.

If Gu Wei is not mistaken, this level of confidentiality most likely refers to the six authors or those at the same level having the right to know.

It's quite obvious that the large-scale event that Yuange mentioned is probably not just any ordinary event.
Unfortunately, Yuan Ge couldn't reveal much information, and Gu Wei didn't know much about Xinghai, or rather, "Mech Overlord," so he couldn't even make a wild guess.

Gu Wei quickly shook his head, refocusing his attention, and after a moment's thought, typed out a message:
[I understand, three days from now at 2 PM, right? I'll be online on time then. Thanks for the recommendation!]

The upheaval in Bosca has now ended. It will take about two days to leave the Maze and another five or six days to reach the Sora Empire.

In other words.

For the next week, Gu Wei would spend most of his time traveling, so his schedule was relatively easy to manage.

A reply came quickly from Yuange's side: [Okay, then I'll put your name down. Remember to log on on time. Also, the team match map is a completely randomly generated scene, so there's no way to do targeted training. Therefore, you don't need to practice together during this period. Just play ranked matches on your own when you have time. If you see me online, you can also DM me to duo queue.]

Gu Wei: [Okay!]

Gu Wei then chatted briefly with the wealthy woman about the situation of the artificial black hole. After learning that the artificial black hole was still stable, he hung up the call.

Then, I turned on the crew wristband and set an alarm for 1:30 pm three days later.

What will the first team competition be like?

After ending communication with Iris Song.

Gu Wei originally wanted to ask Kai or Li Zi, who were standing next to him, about the possible events that "Mech Overlord" might hold, but after hesitating, he gave up the idea.

Although Yuange did not explicitly disclose the details of the event.

But the fact that she could describe it vaguely shows that she already trusts me a lot.

After all, such a highly confidential activity should theoretically not reveal even a single punctuation mark.

If she were to ask Kai or Li Zi herself, and those two went to ask others without knowing the details, even the slightest leak could cause trouble for Yuan Ge.

Therefore, the safest course of action for Gu Wei is not to ask anything. After all, twenty-odd days is not a long time, and he can find out by waiting and seeing.

So he simply pretended nothing had happened.

After a while.

Joe Cowen led Speaker Gray, whose expression was complicated, back to the vicinity of the hatch. Seeing this, Milo asked him, "Old Joe, is everything settled?"

“Yes, everything is settled,” Qiao Kewen nodded, a hint of relief on his face. “Although it was not easy to make a decision, the decision-making team ultimately agreed to relocate to the original universe. We will start to formulate a specific relocation plan and a list of supplies later.”

After speaking, Qiao Kewen paused, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face:
"Furthermore, Captain Milo, I have another request."
