Hu Die Lan
Chapter 324 After the Fireworks
"To reach this level in just over a month, I think that's pretty amazing, right?" Smoothly, the emcee transitioned the interview to the other three professional players.
"Very impressive. I think she should consider developing in the professional circle," one of the professional players said.
The audience erupted in an uproar. They saw that Tang Rou's Battle Mage was strong, but they didn't expect her to be this strong. The professional circle? That was a completely different realm, the true "God Domain."
However, the emcee was experienced. He was no stranger to this kind of talk, just a joking exaggeration of flattery. He didn't want to shift the focus back to Tang Rou at this time, so he laughed as if he had heard a joke, completely turning the topic back to the professional players. Then, he interviewed the remaining people one by one, not even missing the Sharpshooter. However, he was met with boos from the audience. He was clearly in a bad mood, his face gloomy, and he answered two questions before ending the interview.
Afterward, the emcee simply and neatly gave the audience members souvenirs, ending this part of the activities.
For Chen Guo, this result was quite satisfactory. She spoke face-to-face with her favorite idol, received encouragement from the audience in the activity, and finally received recognition from her idol. In every respect, there was nothing to be unhappy about. As for that Sharpshooter who harmed others and himself, Chen Guo had long forgotten him.
Amidst the envious gazes of the audience, the two returned to their seats. As soon as Chen Guo sat down, she heavily patted Ye Xiu. She was someone who liked to share her happiness with others, although her way of sharing was a bit intense.
"Did you have fun?" Ye Xiu smiled.
"I had fun, I had fun." Chen Guo was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
"What about Little Tang?" Ye Xiu made an interviewing gesture, holding his fist up to Tang Rou's mouth.
"It was quite fun," Tang Rou said with a smile, but the look in her eyes towards Ye Xiu was quite meaningful.
After a short rest and some holographic projections, the emcee began to announce the third activity: clay pigeon shooting.
This was also a traditional game at the All-Star Weekend, familiar to players with a bit of Glory experience.
The characters stood on a cylinder, and then clay pigeons would come from all directions. They could use any attack method to smash the clay pigeons to score points. The person with the highest score, the one who smashed the most clay pigeons, would win.
"Next, let's invite Huang Shaotian from Blue Rain to draw four lucky viewers for this round of the activity!" the emcee shouted. The lights dimmed, and a spotlight shone on Huang Shaotian as he stood up from his seat and walked to the stage. This guy really had a bit of star power, waving to the audience as he walked onto the stage. The audience applauded. These super-gods had a lot of fans wherever they went.
"Hello, Shaotian," the emcee went forward and shook hands with Huang Shaotian.
"Hello, I'm good, and everyone in the audience is good too!" Huang Shaotian spoke more than others as soon as he opened his mouth.
The emcee clearly knew this guy's situation and was secretly nervous. This activity was being broadcast live, so the TV broadcast had certain requirements for time control. He couldn't give this guy a chance to waste time, or it would take too long.
Thinking this, the emcee didn't introduce much and directly asked, "What method are you going to use to choose these four lucky viewers, Shaotian?"
"I'm going to use four different methods to choose four lucky viewers," Huang Shaotian said.
As expected, he's long-winded... the emcee thought to himself, but he still wore a bright smile on his face. "Then let's begin?" Which four methods? The emcee didn't even bother to ask.
"The first method, I'm going to use this random number selection. I want to see if I can call out the number I see. The brother operating the machine in the back, slow down when you hear me shout 'Stop'!" Huang Shaotian said.
No one answered. Everyone was silent. The emcee just waved his hand, and the random number selection started spinning.
"Oh, it's starting already? Why didn't you say hello to me? Can I shout stop now? Hmm?"
"You can..." the emcee said.
"Stop!" Huang Shaotian shouted. The random number stopped, and he claimed that it was the number he saw. Of course, no one knew if it was true or not. The emcee just kept saying "Amazing, amazing," and then went to invite the audience member with that seat number onto the stage.
The second method...
The third method...
The fourth method...
Huang Shaotian indeed used four different methods to invite four viewers up. The emcee sped up the pace, and the interviews became a bit simpler. Then, he invited three professional players up and quickly sent the eight people off to the competition.
The lights dimmed.
This time, it wasn't a holographic projection of the map scene that appeared first, but the eight characters, distributed across the arena, quite far apart from each other. Then, several metallic clanking sounds rang out, and a cylinder of the same size and height slowly rose from the ground under each of their feet, lifting them into the air.
"Prepare!" After the cylinders were set, the emcee began to shout.
"Begin!"
As soon as the words were spoken, several whooshing sounds were heard. The system directly generated clay pigeons in mid-air and shot them at the eight people. The speed, size, and angle of the clay pigeons were all the same.
This was just the beginning. Even ordinary players wouldn't be unable to handle this not-so-fast clay pigeon. The eight of them swung their weapons in unison, and the crisp shattering sound was quite pleasant to hear. Moreover, after the clay pigeons were shattered, they immediately exploded like fireworks, then fell in a colorful rain, which was quite beautiful.
This kind of design didn't exist in previous activities.
The All-Star Weekend game projects were always the same, but each time they were played, they always had some new settings and new tricks.
The firework design had no impact on the difficulty of the game, but under holographic projection, the visual effect was a big step up.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The clay pigeons began to fly out continuously, faster and faster, more and more.
At first, ordinary players could still handle it, looking no different from professional players, but gradually, some people couldn't keep up with the speed.
If these clay pigeons hit the body, they would deduct health, and if you weren't careful, you would be knocked off the cylinder.
Whether your health was depleted or you fell off the cylinder, you would directly lose the opportunity. As for dodging the clay pigeons that you couldn't hit, you naturally wouldn't get any points.
"Ah!" With a scream, one of the ordinary players took a big step while dodging and stepped off the cylinder, being eliminated on the spot.
The next three ordinary viewers didn't fall directly, but in the end, they couldn't completely stop the clay pigeons. When the fireworks blossomed more and more brilliantly on their bodies, the three of them finally exhausted their health on the cylinders.
On the professional player side, the four of them were still very calm at this time, smashing the clay pigeons one by one.
The same as the high jump, the professional players who signed up for this competition were naturally confident in their operation in this area. In this kind of simple operation, even compared to the super-god Huang Shaotian, they might not be much worse.
As the clay pigeons continued to become more numerous and faster, the fireworks around the last four cylinders were already blooming, like a galaxy falling from the ninth heaven, constantly tilting down from the height they were standing at, like four gorgeous ribbons, beautiful to the extreme.
The audience applauded thunderously, and the continuous increase in the number and speed of the clay pigeons pushed the blooming of the fireworks to a climax. Finally, when the last ball of fireworks exploded directly into the sky, falling like stars, the generation and ejection of the clay pigeons stopped.
The four characters were still standing on the cylinders. Those who dared to sign up for this competition would be laughed at if they couldn't stand to the end.
However, standing to the end didn't mean that they had hit all the clay pigeons.
The system's statistics came out quickly. Huang Shaotian won first place, but even he didn't hit all the clay pigeons 100%. In the end, he missed two. And the other three ranked after him naturally missed even more.
The cylinders slowly fell, and the characters were sent back to the ground, then logged off and disappeared. The eight returned to the arena to accept interviews. This time, Huang Shaotian was placed last, and the emcee only asked him how he felt about getting first place, then ended the interview with Huang Shaotian with a "Thank you."
The three segments of the competition were unique, and now they came to an end. This was a longer halftime break, and many viewers got up to move around and go to the bathroom.
Chen Guo's mind was still on the second segment, and Ye Xiu seriously suspected that she hadn't watched the third segment much at all, and was just spacing out.
At this time, the lights were turned on, and Chen Guo came back to her senses. Seeing that everyone was going to the bathroom, she immediately felt the urge too.
"Little Tang, are you going?" Chen Guo actively invited.
"I'm not going..." Tang Rou said.
So Chen Guo left alone, and Ye Xiu continued to look around. He saw Tang Rou sit down next to him in Chen Guo's seat and turn to stare at him.
"What?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Who exactly are you?" Tang Rou suddenly asked.
"Hmm?"
"Mu Mu's voice is very nice and distinctive. I wouldn't be unable to recognize it," Tang Rou said.
"Oh? What are the characteristics of her voice?"
"Her enunciation is very clear, very clean," Tang Rou said.
"What kind of characteristic is that..."
"Also, Huang Shaotian just now, he's actually Liu Mu, right?" Tang Rou said.
"You haven't heard his voice that much, have you?" Ye Xiu said.
"But it's also very distinctive. The faster he speaks, the sharper his voice becomes," Tang Rou said.
"You're very sensitive to voices, aren't you?" Ye Xiu said. "Obviously, you're not an ordinary person either. Tell me, what's your background?"
