Fiery Bird's Yanzhou branch, live broadcast studio.
"Has the practice match started?"
"Just started. Other than the 10 from 2S and BOOM, 99 of the other 100 slots have already gone online... Eh, the last one is online too! He wasn't even online just now. "
"Don't worry about it. After all, those people are just playing around. Consider it a benefit for high-level VIPs to have close contact with the club. They can go online and play however they want. You guys just have to keep a close eye on those few from 2S and BOOM. "
"Understood. 110 people. Only one minute has passed and eight have disconnected. They were all at the back."
"In a while, the distance between the front and the back will increase. Pay attention to the footage."
"Got it... Another two disconnected. There are still 100 left. I wonder how many will be left in another five minutes."
"There will be more crashes after entering the city. It's time to let them suffer a little. Don't think this is easy."
"Eh?" Someone at the side stared at the screen in astonishment. "The one at the back, so fast!"
"Which one?" A few others craned their necks to look.
"This point. Just now, it was at the back. Now it's nearing the middle section. " The person in front of the screen pointed to a spot on the large screen. The map was shrunk, and every participant appeared as a bright spot on the screen.
"Driving too fast makes it easy to get disconnected," another person said. The others understood what he meant. The faster the speed, the narrower the field of view, and the harder it was to control the car. In a place with no one around, running in a straight line was fine, but if one sped through the bends, it was easy to get disconnected.
"Another one fell at the front. There are still 99 people left. I just want to see when this fellow will get disconnected. "
The track shown on the map started off with a flat and wide surface. The road was a very long straight line with few bends. After a while, the number of bends gradually increased, and the number of people who crashed also increased.
Just as the Fiery Bird people had expected, after five minutes, the original 99 people online had dropped to 67. The people at the back were also being left further and further behind. Perhaps some people felt that continuing to run was pointless, so they took the initiative to stop and log off. This way, the number dropped at a rapid pace to 51 people.
Those who watched the live broadcast would also find their own entertainment. A few entertainment studios also saw an opportunity to attract traffic. Because there were so many people crashing, Fiery Bird's official live broadcast was also prohibited from recording. They could only use screenshots. Every time they saw a crash, they would excitedly take a screenshot and post it. They wanted to let everyone see what kind of posture those people had when they crashed and comment on who had crashed with more vigor.
Even a professional racer would face the danger of crashing at any time when speeding through a bend. Pictures of sliding, high tosses, and other crashes in the screenshots were added to the post. As the race progressed, more crashes would be added. The pictures also indicated which racers had been directly thrown offline, which ones had been dragged down, and which ones had dropped out due to injuries.
Even though their professional racing suits and protective gear could arm every contestant to the teeth, they had been driving too fast, and the crashes were too violent. Almost half of them had directly disconnected.
To them, this was just a game, and there was no real accident. Therefore, they were just joking around with each other as if they were playing a game.
In the eyes of the viewers watching the live broadcast, these were just jokes, but for those who had been professional racers before, they had already cast aside the boundary between the game and reality when they were riding, and treated it seriously and seriously, even if it was just a practice race.
Leading the way were 2S e-Sports Club's Ke Zimo and BOOM e-Sports Club's Olaf. They had already gradually pulled away from the rest.
The ten contestants from 2S e-Sports Club and BOOM e-Sports Club had pulled away from the rest of the contestants not long after the competition had begun. In addition, they were the highlight of the competition and were called the "Top Ten Camp," so the camera was mainly focused on them. The rest of the contestants were in separate shots. But as the competition progressed, the distance between the professional racers Ke Zimo and Olaf and the other eight contestants in the Top Ten Camp grew. In the end, the front camera was split into two, with one shot for Ke Zimo and Olaf, and the other for the other eight contestants in the Top Ten Camp.
Ke Zimo was a big mouth, but as a professional e-Sports player and professional racer, he had adjusted his attitude towards the race quite well.
At this time, 20 minutes had passed.
A contestant from 2S e-Sports Club, who was in tenth place in the Top 10 Camp, had not heard any sound from behind him for a few minutes. He couldn't help but feel pleased. See, amateurs will always be amateurs. They can't compare to us professional gamers. Even if we aren't professional racers, as the main force of e-Sports, our overall abilities are much higher than those of amateurs. We can still crush them all the same! Now we're leaving them far behind! In other words, from now on, those outsiders have nothing to do with us!
When they first started riding, they were especially careful. But as they became more familiar with the technique, they wanted to go wild and experience the passion of racing. The thrill of racing became even more intense, and they enjoyed it very much. At the same time, they wanted to show off and attract even more fans.
However, he was also dissatisfied with being in tenth place. The person in ninth place in front of him was someone from BOOM Club. He had to overtake him! After two more turns, they would be entering the city. The difficulty of the latter part would be even greater. It would be best if he could overtake them before entering the city.
Huh?!
Why was there still a sound behind him?
Furthermore, it sounded like the sound was getting closer.
Someone's catching up?!
Surprised that someone could actually catch up to him, he was distracted. In his panic, he made another mistake. He went off the curve and fell down the hill.
The BOOM e-Sports Club member, who was in ninth place, heard the sound of someone falling down the hill behind him and was secretly pleased.
"Haha, he fell!"
He was very happy that the person who had been chasing closely behind him, a member of the opposing team, had finally fallen. Up until now, there was only one person in the Top 10 Camp who had fallen. How embarrassing! When the time came, he could use this incident to step on 2S!
But very quickly, the joy in the ninth place player's heart dissipated, because he heard the sound of an engine getting closer and closer.
How is that possible?! Didn't he just fall down the hill?! Even if he could continue running, he wouldn't be able to catch up to him so quickly, let alone falling offline.
But if it wasn't the other party, who could it be?
Thinking of a possibility, the ninth place player could not suppress his curiosity. He turned his head and looked behind him. Just that one look made him regret it.
From time to time, there would be some rocks on the road. They were larger and more conspicuous. As long as he avoided them, it would not be difficult. But when he looked back out of curiosity, he realized that the other party was wearing the default outfit and not the opponent who had been chasing closely behind him. He was surprised. Seeing that the other party was closing in, he panicked. He was distracted for too long, and when he looked forward again, he realized that there was another rock on the road, and it was very close. Even if he dodged at the last moment, he still brushed against it. Both he and the car slid forward, and he was thrown out of the car.
As he rolled on the ground, he saw the approaching car from the corner of his eye. At this speed, the other party would have to rush towards him to avoid the rock, and that was what the other party had done.
Screech —
The friction between the high-speed wheels and the ground made an ear-piercing sound. The roar of the engine seemed like it was venting its dissatisfaction, and the shock made people's thoughts scatter.
The person who was originally ranked ninth on the ground was unable to stop his fall. His vision was still swaying, and he could only see a black shadow brushing past him. It was like a ghost had strangely turned around in front of him and disappeared in a flash. Only the feeling of being blown by the strong wind was still lingering on his body.
The ear-piercing friction in his ears disappeared, and the roar of the engine gradually faded away. He struggled to get up and look at the ground around him. There was only the strange arc of the tires rubbing against the ground. Every part of the car seemed to have been burned by the tires on the road, and the fiery atmosphere from the scene just now remained.
Even though it was only in the game, he could feel the cold sweat on his back. It was as if a piece of ice was pressing on his scalp through his helmet. It felt like he had luckily survived a giant foot stomping on his head. His heart was still beating violently, and his brain had not recovered from the scene just now. He stood there in a daze, and when he woke up and looked at the road again, the other party was nowhere to be seen!
And the person who had been staring at the live stream and preparing to take a screenshot had forgotten his original goal at that moment. His eyes were completely captured by the thrilling scene.
The people who were watching the live stream were also excited.
"F * ck, who was that lunatic who just passed by?!!"
"No … I don't know. That scene was too thrilling, and we almost collided … Maybe we didn't collide just now?"
"He dodged it like that? He didn't flip over! "
"Who saw how he dodged it just now? I feel like my mind is blank when I think about it now. Where's the professional screenshot? Did anyone get it?! "
"Which esports club's main player put on a different avatar?"
"I don't think so. If it was another esports club, with this kind of technology, they would definitely put on their own club's logo with great fanfare. That person just now was wearing the default logo of the system."
"Could it be that some professional racer is planning to play?"
"Very likely."
"That can't be right. I saw the official announcement yesterday. Other than 2S's Ke Zimo and BOOM's Olaf, there are no professional racers participating."
"Then who was that person just now? Did he come here just to cause trouble? "
"Hahaha, two of the top ten teams actually fell in fright! Looking at this situation, it's hard to say who will have the last laugh. Now that there's this mysterious person, I wonder how many more people will be able to overtake. "
