The Armed Vehicle Innovation Competition came to an end on the third day after the update went online.

The requirements of the competition are to assemble and evaluate vehicles within 10,000 sacrificial forces, during which the performance parameters of each entry in the simulation test will be displayed on the forum.

The weights of the evaluation scores are based on multi-terrain driving performance, cost-effectiveness, likes from forum players, and other dimensions to calculate points.

The top ten players can directly obtain simulated assembled armed vehicles.

Among them, the players who won the top three places in this competition, their innovative works received a huge lead in likes in the forum.

The first place is the flying sword assembled by the player "Draw the Sword to Cut Love".

He named the vehicle template "Yunyin Canglong".

In terms of shape, the sword body is painted with spiritual patterns to depict an intricate cloud dragon totem, with the dragon head raised high and the dragon tail coiled, lifelike, as if it could break through the air and soar into the sky at any time. The cloud dragon totem is also cleverly inlaid with inlay slots, which can be used to install spiritual stones to provide additional endurance at critical moments. The wide hilt is installed with an energy core, surrounded by fine silver spiritual patterns, depicting a blooming hell flower.

This assembly can be regarded as a simplified version of sword flying, where players can soar into the sky on a flying sword.

But the shortcomings are also obvious.

First of all, in terms of energy endurance, the incomplete configuration results in a flight endurance of only half an hour. Additional endurance requires purchasing spirit stones for charging in the mall.

The second is driving control. Since it is a pedal-type riding, there is a risk of falling off the vehicle.

How to control your own center of gravity becomes particularly important.

The player who posted the flying sword template said that he originally wanted to install two locking rings on the sword, but doing so seriously destroyed the aesthetics of the flying sword and increased the consumption of additional weapon modules. In the end, he chose to give up and continue to maintain the flying sword form.

Although its shortcomings were obvious, Yunyin Canglong received a lot of likes from players thanks to its super fast movement speed and handsome appearance, and eventually won first place in the overall points list, becoming the champion of this innovation competition.

The second place is the unicycle assembled by the player "I Walk with the Wind".

The riding area of ​​this motorcycle is in the center of the tire, and it is equipped with multiple automatic balancing systems, which can adapt to driving in many complex environments. The biggest advantage is that it saves a lot of usage consumption of armed modules.

The entire structure is divided into an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is used for riding, and the outer ring rotates to drive the unicycle to move.

When Qi Sheng saw this design, the first thing that came to his mind was the unicycle design in the movie "Men in Black" that he had seen before traveling through time.

The third place is the power shoes assembled by the player "Game Modifier".

It can be said that this vehicle has no armed mode, or it can be said that the vehicle mode is the armed mode, and the shape of the vehicle is a pair of shoes.

Can provide additional action efficiency for the wearing player.

The core feature of the design is that the sole is equipped with energy spray holes to assist in moving forward, so that players can achieve a catapult start when jumping or running.

The smaller size allows for more configuration options, and all of them use intermediate armed modules, which have higher regional armor values ​​than the competition templates provided by the first two players.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. The armor defense provided by the shoes cannot be effectively used in combat.

This is a simple assembly that is purely vehicle-oriented.

But the lack of armor defense does not mean that this armed vehicle has no bonus in combat.

The power shoes under consciousness control can be controlled by the player independently to turn on the boost mode, which can significantly improve movement efficiency during combat.

If a magic player uses it, he can also use the power boots to quickly jump back when encountering a melee attack.

The performance in the review video is excellent.

The three sets of armed vehicle templates consumed less than 10,000 points of sacrificial power. Whether in comprehensive evaluation or the number of likes from forum players, they surpassed other creative ideas and won the top three awards in this innovation competition.

After the top ten were announced, Qi Sheng spent a total of 98320 points of power to distribute rewards.

After the event ended, players' enthusiasm for discussing armed vehicles on the forum did not stop.

New vehicles are constantly being developed.

For example, many players who have friends and family consider that the price of a single vehicle is too high and they usually act in groups, so they simply pool their money to build an armed vehicle that can accommodate multiple people for one of them.

Among them, many imaginative vehicle models were born.

For example, the low-end version of the black armored snake mount "Dragon Truck" built with speed as the core indicator is equipped with 12 power tires and multiple carriages. It can carry 80 players at a time. Overloaded transportation is not a problem at all. After all, there is no overload indicator in the Monster World, so multiple suspended seats are designed outside the Dragon Truck. The scene of a truck full of players driving is very funny.

The only shortcoming of this vehicle is its weak defense. It cannot charge around on the battlefield like the Black Armored Snake mount. It is easy for its structure to collapse when attacked by external forces, and the vehicle will be destroyed and the people will die.

Or maybe a steel truck built with defense as its core indicator.

This design is specially for gargoyle players. The front of the truck is equipped with intermediate armed modules. The design concept is to load a truck of gargoyle players into the enemy's densely populated area and assist the gargoyle players in charging.

There are many other interesting multiplayer mount designs.

However, this type of design consumes more than 10,000 points of energy. Even if it is highly practical, it cannot participate in the evaluation of this Brain Hole Innovation Competition.

……

Ghost Sea.

Unlike the environment of the Cangxing Sea, this sea area is shrouded in a thick layer of fog all year round.

When night falls, a large number of ghost-like will-o'-the-wisp lights will appear on the sea and float around. Occasionally, ethereal and mournful cries can be heard above the sea, hence the name Ghost Sea.

In the center of the sea is a huge island, which is also the location of the Death Arena.

One can see aircraft constantly passing through the energy barrier outside the island and entering it.

One of the aircraft stopped at a corner of the island, and a large number of metal boxes were ejected one by one from the gate in the belly of the aircraft after it landed.

Steam rose and the gate slowly opened.

38 fighters who were captured and brought to the arena appeared.

In front of them stood a burly barbarian slave holding chains.

He swept his cold eyes over the captured alien warriors, ignoring their desperate expressions, and began to introduce the rules of the arena.

After introducing the rules and requirements, Gu Shennu added:
"As a weakling, it is your honor to be here and have the opportunity to please the ancient gods."

Just as the ancient god's servant was about to turn around and lead these fighters to the Giant Snake Arena on the first floor, one of the captured aliens stepped out:
"Wait, I have something important to tell you."

Everyone turned their eyes to the alien warrior who was speaking, and he was none other than Hei Ying, a warrior from the Black Wind Tribe.

The ancient god servant turned and looked at Hei Ying, a fierce light flashing in his cold eyes:
"explain."

"I want to provide some information. I know where a tribe lives. The people there have mastered a wide variety of abilities. They are very suitable to be captured and taken to the arena to participate in a death duel to please the ancient gods."

Hearing these words, a ferocious smile appeared on the face of the ancient god's servant:
"It seems that this tribe has a grudge against you, and you want to use the power of the arena to restrict the development of this tribe."

"To you, this is not important. You just want excellent fighters. This is the key." Hei Ying, who was already determined to die, responded calmly.

"Very good, I'll give you a chance, go ahead."

"At the end of the Blue Star Sea to the south of the Ghost Shadow Sea is the Colorful Mist Coast area that connects to the mainland. There lives a group of people with very special abilities..."

After listening to Hei Ying's introduction, the ancient god servant nodded:

"I will give the intelligence you mentioned to the hunters, and they will go there to investigate. If everything is the same as you said, that place will become the focus of the hunters' attention... But all this is not important to you. Your future lies in the arena."

Hearing this, Hei Ying took a deep breath:

"I heard that if you win 15 games in the arena, you can be free, right?"

The ancient god servant nodded:

"As long as you can get 15 wins, you will be free for 10 years. At that time, an ancient god will take you to a higher-level arena and become a fighter in the high-level arena. As for wanting to gain eternal freedom, there is only one way, and that is to become a warrior with 30 wins."

"At that time, you will no longer be a restricted competitive warrior. You will be given the title of champion fighter by the ancient gods and have the honor of serving the ancient gods."

"I understand." A bitter look appeared on Heiying's face.

He knows very well how difficult it is to win 15 games.

A 15-victory fighter once appeared in the nearby waters, and all the legends about the arena came from the mouth of this 15-victory fighter.

But in recent years, there has only been one fighter with 15 wins in the nearby waters.

He knew that he could never make it through the Death Arena with his own strength, and the most likely outcome would be that he would fall in round after round of promotion fights.

I have heard that the arena will provide precious resources to assist fighters in their rapid growth. The growth rate of all fighters will be developed to the extreme, and the growth rate here is far beyond what the outside world can compare to.

But every fighter has the privilege of rapidly improving their strength, and he is no exception. Moreover, the vast majority of fighters are unable to carry their improved strength out of the arena.

Eventually, they will fall on the road to promotion and become stepping stones for other fighters to advance. "Follow me, and begin your first battle to please the Ancient God." The Ancient God's servant turned around at this time.

Faced with the ancient god servants whose strength far exceeded their own, the alien warriors present did not even have the thought of resistance, and followed the footsteps of the ancient god servants to the location of the first round of the giant snake arena.

……

Half a day later.

Colorful mist coast area.

After the Black Wind Tribe was defeated, the coast regained its former bustling state.

Some players are organizing their forces on the shore, preparing to go hunting at the Crystal Palace node; some players are catching crabs nearby and preparing to set up stalls to sell them at night; and some players are fishing for spirit fish on the coast... Every player has his own way of experiencing the game content.

At this moment, a player in the regional voice channel exclaimed:

"Brothers, look at the map, look at the map quickly, the hidden mission is rapidly approaching the Colorful Mist Coast area!"

After hearing the reminder from the regional voice channel, players opened the map to check.

Suddenly, we discovered that an arena aircraft marked with a hidden mission was approaching the Colorful Mist Coast area at a very fast speed.

Realizing that the opportunity had come, the players near the Colorful Mist Coast gathered towards the coast.

Upon hearing the news, players in the Colorful Mist Coast Novice Village or the Emperor's Tomb Village also rushed over, wanting to start their arena journey by taking on hidden quests.

To use the words of one player: Arena duels and the like are not important at all; the main point is that they want to please the ancient gods.

Soon a large number of players gathered on the coast.

They stared at the end of the sea, waiting for the opportunity to come, hoping that they would be the lucky ones chosen by the hidden mission.

If other ethnic groups in the sea area saw this scene, they would certainly find it incredible.

In their eyes, the arena represents despair and death, and if they are captured, there is no possibility of getting out alive.

But in the eyes of players, death is the norm.

Every player has experienced death, and they are willing to die if death can be exchanged for generous rewards.

While waiting, some players have even imagined the wonderful scene of themselves winning consecutive games in the arena and reaping rich rewards.

Finally, a silent flying arena aircraft appeared at the end of the horizon.

Seeing this scene, many players jumped and waved, hoping that the arena aircraft would notice this side.

Some players even bought flares from the mall and released them, fearing that the arena aircraft would change course and leave them disappointed.

As the players expected, the aircraft arrived as expected and continued to enlarge in their sight.

When the aircraft landed over the coast, the players cheered excitedly.

At this time, the arena hunter in the aircraft saw this scene and his expression was extremely confused. He obviously couldn't understand the strange behavior of these creatures on the coast.

Before this, wherever the aircraft passed, the alien races living in the seas of the major islands fled in all directions, fearing that they would be captured by him and sent to the arena.

The behavior of this group of aliens on the coast seemed to indicate that they were looking forward to its arrival.

But the hunter did not think about this problem too much. He only needed to complete the task given by the ancient god and capture the fighter.

In a flash of thought, a beam of light shot out from the aircraft and swept across the alien figures who were waiting eagerly on the coast.

Suddenly, dense red and blue dots appeared in the biological detection radar ahead, and the life strength and mental strength of the alien race below could be judged by the degree of luminescence of the red and blue dots.

The hunter couldn't help but frown when he saw the scan data on the display.

This group of creatures are generally of low strength, and most of them do not meet the standards for capture, but there are still a few that barely meet the requirements of junior fighters.

He then began to control the aircraft to eject energy ropes, which accurately wrapped around the densely packed alien life forms that met the standards, dragging them into metal containers and imprisoning them.

Seeing the aircraft start to pick people, the players seemed extremely excited.

While being entangled and dragged by the energy ropes, a certain player turned around and raised his middle finger downwards:

"Hahaha, this good luck finally comes to me. I'll go first."

When a player saw his friend being entangled by an energy rope, he reached out to grab the rope and tried to "fly up" with his friend. However, he was instantly ejected by the energy bursting from the rope. Then, he couldn't help but curse as his friend left with laughter:

"You really deserve to die. I wish you a 0-win return. I'll be waiting for you here."

While being dragged by the energy rope, a certain player turned around and posed to show off his biceps, then grinned at the members of his guild and said:
"This is the treatment of the strong. No need to send money, brothers. I will go to the arena to get a few bags of money and come back. When I return home in glory, I will give you red envelopes."

……

The arrest took less than a minute.

A total of 12 players were captured and put into the arena aircraft.

As the aircraft left, the remaining players looked very unhappy, feeling that they had missed the opportunity to make a fortune.

There were constant scolding in the voice channel:
"Why are all the people captured human? Are the ancient gods racially discriminating? Why are there no one from our Gilled Fish and Deep Fish tribes? I protest and report it to the Earth Alliance. It's too unfair."

"Seeing my good brother being captured is more painful than killing me. We are both at the same soul level. He plays melee and I play mage. Why was he captured instead of me? The more I think about it, the angrier I get. When I become stronger, I will destroy that arena."

"Brother above, please stop. The arena is a holy place for taking advantage of others. Pleasing the Ancient God is our sincere hope. I firmly uphold the hegemony of the Ancient God in this sea area and will never allow anyone to destroy the Ancient God Arena, including the Ancient God."

"I wasted 20 minutes waiting and didn't get anything. Let's continue to kill the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Crystal Palace and try to take down the rule domain node as soon as possible. I'm really looking forward to this rule BUFF. I wonder what effect it will bring."

……

The hidden mission in the eyes of the players has come to an end.

This group of players heading to the Death Arena became the focus of attention of forum players.

The players who were captured were also very smart.

Knowing that they can start live streaming to increase popularity, and if they are lucky, they can even get tips and sponsorship from paying players, they all started live streaming.

During this period, the aircraft that captured the players traveled through several islands in the sea, and finally flew straight through the Evil Moon Territory to the Ghost Shadow Sea.

47 minutes later, the aircraft landed in the Death Arena.

The captured players were also freed from the metal cages one after another.

Different from the fear and despair in the eyes of other alien warriors, the arriving players were rubbing their hands together and looked extremely excited.

The ancient god's servants seemed very surprised when they saw this scene.

"interesting."

As he spoke, the Ancient God servant looked at the aircraft and said in a deep voice:

"Hunter, what race are these warriors?"

In response to the inquiry, a voice came from the aircraft:
"I don't know. It was No. 4 who gave me the information and asked me to go to the Colorful Mist Coast area to capture the life."

"Number 4?!" Hearing this, the Ancient God servant nodded, then glanced at the players present and asked jokingly:
"Aren't you afraid? Do you know where this is?"

When asked, a player immediately responded:

"Death Arena!"

"Then do you know what you need to do here?"

"To please the ancient gods!" The players answered in unison, with irrepressible joy and excitement in their eyes.

The player's answer made the Ancient God's servant visibly stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing:
"Very good. I am very satisfied with you. Although the energy and blood in your bodies are very weak, your high morale and awareness surpass those warriors who have strength but are afraid of fighting. You are more like qualified fighters than them."

As he spoke, the ancient god's servant glanced at the terrified alien warriors, and a hint of undisguised contempt appeared in his eyes.

After saying this, the Ancient God servant looked at the aircraft that was still parked not far away:

"Hunter, this race is of particular concern."

The hunter did not answer, but controlled the aircraft to fly straight into the sky, ready to start a new round of capture operations.
