"Bang!"
The Scorpion Starship's beam was like a brush in the eyes of the audience. As long as it swept across the Gray Plains, all the contestants it encountered would turn into white light and disappear.
Seeing that the beam was getting closer and closer, Ding Meng secretly activated his first origin and activated his Diamond Shield with a clang.
It was not that no one in front of him had activated their shields, but those shields were really too weak. Before the beam could even get close, the shields shattered like eggshells.
Ding Meng's Diamond Shield was particularly eye-catching. As soon as it was activated, the surface of the shield was covered in dense and mysterious runes, and its shape was also exquisite.
With another "bang", the fans' vision turned white, because Ding Meng was completely enveloped by the huge beam of light, and they did not know if he could withstand it.
Although their vision had been filled with strong white light, the camera did not move, which meant that at least Ding Meng did not turn into light and die. Millions of fans secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Can Crazy Boss withstand it?"
"Is that guy from the Crow Institute of Technology still there?
Come out and analyze it! "
"Analyze my ass. You can't even use such a huge energy formula."
"Are you stupid? You're already in this state, and you still want to use a formula?"
"What salary?
My salary this month is over 3000. "
"Damn it, me too. I have a salary of 3000 a month, and I love to worry about these experts."
"You experts are really 666..."
...
The Scorpion Starship's beam sweep lasted for a full 15 minutes this time. When the beam was retracted and the smoke dispersed, the whole ground was in ruins. To be precise, the map had been completely razed to the ground.
However, the live broadcast was full of joy because Ding Meng was standing on the ground, perfectly fine. His Diamond Shield had withstood the attack of the huge beam. In fact, this was the refracting railgun of a medium-sized starship. With Ding Meng's strength, it was no problem for him to withstand it. However, the other contestants were just unlucky, and almost all of them were wiped out.
The system's voice: "Congratulations to contestants 32398986455, 99486632, and 10144441320 for passing the Path of Survival and advancing to the next stage. They will be teleported back to Star Wars City in 60 seconds."
Ding Meng had long noticed that when he was blocking the beam, two powerful Origin Ability users had appeared in the distance on his left and right. This map clearly had real experts on it.
Now that he looked around, he finally saw these two people clearly. On the ruins on his left, there was a man wearing Steel Legion armor, and on the flat ground on his right, there was a long-haired beauty. These two were like him, and they did not reveal their IDs. Obviously, they were low-key people.
This situation was naturally the time for the fans of the three teams to show their true strength. Unfortunately, one minute was too short, and he could not dig out too much information. The three contestants could only remember each other's unique IDs: Crazy Explosion, Guan Yiwei, and Misty Rain Qian.
After being teleported back to China City, Ding Meng found that he was in the first batch of contestants to advance. The screen in Tulip Inn could also be used to watch the other matches randomly. The scene of each map was different, and the difficulty was naturally different. After watching for a while, Ding Meng felt that the map he was in was one of the most difficult maps. Out of 500,000 to 600,000 contestants, only 3 people advanced. This elimination rate was as high as 99%. No wonder the officials said that most people would be eliminated.
After patiently waiting for a few hours, Dai Yi and the others were also teleported back. Everyone in Bingyi Group had successfully advanced. Among them, Dai Yi's popularity was the highest, with more than 9 million fans. In fact, this was very easy to understand. With the beauty of a goddess, her ability to gain fans was definitely stronger than the male contestants. Next was Lu Qing, with a fan club of 5 million. Jun Ling gained 3.8 million fans, and Ding Meng had 1.98 million fans.
However, what made him unhappy was that the number of fans of Four-eye and Mao Zi were higher than his. Four-eye had 2.5 million fans, while Mao Zi had 2.55 million fans. The two of them had never fought from the beginning to the end of Road to Survival. Hua Zi, on the other hand, had drawn two and a half packs, which directly amused the audience.
After exiting the Star Wars Carnival system, the final results of the competition were only announced at 10 o 'clock at night. Out of the 26 billion contestants, only 96 million made it to the next round. This was equivalent to eliminating all the contestants below the warlord level. In other words, those who tried to become famous overnight would never have the chance to show their faces again. For example, Vivian who held a concert.
After returning to the president's office of Bingyi Group, Ding Meng found that Lan Bing and the others were holding their wristwatches and talking non-stop. Moreover, they talked for a full half an hour.
"So busy?" Ding Meng was curious.
Liang Yiran finally turned off her wristwatch and could not help but laugh. "Ding Meng, congratulations on advancing. The company's communication station almost exploded with calls. Many of these calls are from acquaintances seeking cooperation."
"Cooperation?" Ding Meng's eyes lit up. "Is it because of me?"
"Obviously not!" Lan Bing glanced at Dai Yi. "Your performance is still the best."
Dai Yi was also curious. "Sister Bing, is there any good news?"
It had to be good news. She and Lu Qing's IDs had the prefix Bingyi. In addition, their immortal looks had attracted countless fans on Road to Survival. Therefore, many sponsors had heard about the existence of Bingyi Group and called to seek cooperation in advertising.
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped and he did not speak. He was rather depressed. It seemed that he was not famous enough. Even Four-eye and Mao Zi were more capable than him.
During the Road to Survival stage, Four-eye and Mao Zi had also revealed their IDs. Observant fans immediately recognized the true meaning of "Collapsing Hongshan" and "A Dead Horse." In addition, the two of them had been smoking non-stop. On the live broadcast, there was actually a representative of a cigarette manufacturer who left a message saying that they could seek cooperation in advertising.
"There are really cigarette sellers looking for you?" Lu Qing expressed her surprise.
"Of course."
Four-eye was proud. "It's just that the names of those two brands are not very nice. Sister Qing, do you want to consider endorsing them?"
"What brands?" Jun Ling asked suspiciously.
Four-eye said, "One brand is called Cuddling Yellow Drink. The other is called Force One."
Jun Ling was immediately dissatisfied. "You two are not allowed to endorse such vulgar names."
Mao Zi wished he could kick Four-eye out of the Bingyi building. "You uncultured thing. What Cuddling Yellow Drink?
That's called Yellow Crane Tower!
Force One?
Hehe, I think you've been single for too long. Have you gone crazy?
That's called Force One, you idiot! "
Four-eye laughed foolishly and scratched his head. "Hehe, sorry. My eyes were misty at the time. I didn't see the subtitles clearly."
Mao Zi kicked him in the butt. "This move again!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ji Chenxue laughed. "Ding Meng, your ability to attract fans still needs to be strengthened. You can consider changing your image for the next stage of the competition."
Ding Meng's appearance was indeed not eye-catching. This was a failure. Jun Ling did not show her face throughout the competition today. Her cold image of a heroine dressed in black was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Her fans gave her a nickname, "Kneel Sister." It meant that no matter who you were, you had to kneel when you saw this sister.
Ji Chenxue explained, "Tomorrow's competition mode is also used in the previous season. You can form a team to participate. However, I suggest that Ding Meng continue to act alone. If you pass this stage, you can participate as a member of the Bingyi Group."
Ding Meng said, "Is that Need for Speed or whatever it is that tests teamwork?"
Ji Chenxue said, "This stage is basically the time for the big corporations and sects to show their faces. You can study the rules later. The officials should release a competition guide before the competition."
The so-called Amazing Race was the simplest of all the competition modes. There was only one rule, and that was to set off from the location designated by the system and reach the designated destination as quickly as possible. The time limit was three hours. If one did not reach the destination within three hours, they would be disqualified.
Moreover, in the Amazing Race mode, the players were allowed to bring their own equipment and supplies. They could also choose to form a team.
The rules seemed simple, but in reality, the difficulty of the competition was very high. Based on the previous season's map, the distance between the starting point and the destination was not far. However, there were all kinds of obstacles along the way, and every step forward was difficult.
On the third day of the carnival, Ding Meng entered China early. The view interface had already introduced the map to him. There was only one type of map in this stage, and it was called the Sacred Mountain. However, there were as many as 500,000 competition points. In other words, the 96 million players would be evenly distributed across the 500,000 maps, and each map had a maximum capacity of 200 players.
The official competition would start at 9: 30. However, the system would send the players to the map in advance according to their choice. The purpose was to let everyone familiarize themselves with the terrain.
As soon as Ding Meng was sent to the map, before he had time to check out his surroundings, the live broadcast chat exploded.
"He's here, he's here. The boss is here!"
"Everyone, stand up! All the scumbags welcome the boss!"
"My favorite crazy little brother is finally here!"
"Eh?
Brother Feng, you've changed your style today. You look quite handsome. "
"Leave your name in the front row. Fans, please flip!"
"Sister in the front row, with your hand speed, you have already flipped a few thousand floors in front of you."
"I'm 666666!"
"6 your * ss. You only know 666 in one day. Will you die if you don't hit the number?"
"F * ck your * ss …"
The virtual live broadcast room in the view interface was really lively. As soon as Ding Meng entered, he felt the enthusiasm of many fans.
Today, Ding Meng went online and entered China City three hours early. His two wives took him to visit a total of five virtual shopping malls in China City, specifically for him to buy clothes and modify his image.
It was the same as the selection of clothes during the registration, but the price was much more expensive in the stores in China City.
One by one, one by one, one by one, the dizzy Ding Meng finally finalized the Himalayan mountaineering suit. This set of clothes was really nothing special. It was just green, but it looked much better than the Japanese-style outfit. At least now Ding Meng was in high spirits, and his fans were also unanimously applauding.
At this moment, Ding Meng noticed that he seemed to be inside a transport boat. Looking out from the crystal glass, the transport boat was flying in the sky. Below was the endless blue ocean. In the center of the ocean was a long and narrow island. This was the competition map of today's Extreme Speed Advance - "Sacred Mountain".
