"100 million Alliance dollars, the rank of Brigadier General, and the company of a beautiful Martian woman … Of course I have to participate!"
"Forget it, when did you get a chance? Which competition isn't won by the strong? "
"I heard that even the second God of War, Gaslan, will be participating. You still want to win?"
"Also, also, the genius of Earth's Ma family, plus he comes from a family of starships. How can we compare to his mecha?"
"I believe that the fierce Martian will win! Earthlings, give it up! "
Amidst the discussion, a man in a dark brown Corporal military uniform walked into a strange, luxurious building that looked like a giant wave. As soon as he entered, he saw the sign that said "Winner is King".
"It's over there …" Ye Kong's eyes lit up. He had followed the advertisement and found this place. Only when he arrived did he realize that there were as many people signing up as there were hairs on a cow.
"Of course I have to participate in such a grand event!" Ye Kong strode over.
This was the virtual world's global network, so there were many virtual rooms below. After everyone entered one, they could sign up by themselves.
Ye Kong walked into one of the rooms and heard a woman's voice. "Hello, Corporal. Are you signing up for the 'Winner is King' martial arts competition? Do you want to enter MPK or FPK? "
Ye Kong fainted. He asked the little pixie what was going on with the two English words, Life Thirteen.
Life Thirteen was very human-like, and sneered, "You don't even know this? The 'Winner is King' martial arts competition is divided into two parts. MPK is armed mecha combat, while FPK is non-mecha combat! The difference between the two is whether or not you use a mecha! "
Ye Kong got the gist of it. FPK was similar to boxing, mixed martial arts, and so on. MPK was a real mecha combat!
He nodded immediately and replied to the screen, "Of course I want to participate in the mecha MPK!"
"Alright." The woman's voice responded, and then asked, "Every participant must bring their own mecha. Everyone must have at least one mecha, and this mecha must exist and not be bound by anyone else! And Corporal, you don't have a mecha under your name! "
"I see …" Ye Kong was depressed. Money really could not kill a hero.
"Are there any virtual mechas available?"
"I'm sorry. In order to prevent the virtual functions from being upgraded without limit, the strength of every mecha bound to the competition has to be verified in reality. If you provide a specially manufactured model, our staff will come to verify it … "
"But I don't have a mech. I didn't even get my first month's pay." Ye Kong thought to himself, I don't have the money to buy one, and the army didn't give me one. If I ask Wang Wei for it, I won't be able to get it now. If I borrow the Royal Duke Armor from them, they might have to participate in the competition and be bound to me!
"I'm sorry, I can't help you." The woman's apologetic voice sounded again. "You can participate in the FPK competition."
"Is the bonus there also 100 million?" Ye Kong was quite confident in his unarmed combat ability. If he could defeat his opponent and get the prize money, then he could buy the most advanced mecha. Then, wouldn't he be able to participate in MPK?
"The prize for the FPK champion is a million Alliance dollars and a set of the latest mecha."
"There's such a big difference in treatment!" Ye Kong was stunned.
On one side, the prize money was 100 million, and on the other side, one million … But then again, Ye Kong was poor now. One million was an astronomical amount. Plus, he was getting a set of advanced mecha for free.
"That's good. If I get the mecha, I can participate in MPK. If I get the Alliance dollars, I can buy some gifts for Sister Chen Zelin … But she doesn't seem to be lacking anything. Hmm, I'll give it to Doctor Ran. She saved me and even kissed me …"
Ye Kong blushed as he thought about it. He said, "Then I'll register for FPK. I don't need to set up any binding items, right?"
"No need. You can use some of the virtual weapons provided by the system. You can also fight with your bare hands. Of course, if you have special weapons that you want to bind, we can also provide services. However, you will need to bring the weapon to each residential area to be verified …"
The mech was delivered to the door, and the weapon was brought to the door for processing. The difference in treatment between MPK and FPK was not small! Ye Kong scoffed in his heart and said, "Then I'll fight with my bare hands!"
Not long after, a form appeared.
"Corporal Ye Kong, this is your real identity information. You can choose to make it public or set up a virtual identity during the competition. If you choose a virtual identity, then your appearance, name, and all other information can be changed. However, you can't change the judgment of the global network on your actual combat strength … "
"I can also use a virtual identity!"
Ye Kong's eyes moved. He did not want his real identity.
'I always smile foolishly. People don't like it and look down on me. Then I'll change my identity!'
Ye Kong thought about this and nodded. "I want to set up a virtual identity … My name will be Eighth Young Master! My appearance will be that long hair! Information, Earthling, China citizen! "
Ye Kong set up his identity as Eighth Young Master. It was not because his memory had recovered, but because a familiar name suddenly appeared in his mind and he blurted it out.
Not long after, all the settings were set up. The female voice sounded again. "Then contestant Eighth Young Master, your participation qualifications have been established. Now, do you want to enter the ranking competition now or later?"
"I'll fight first!"
…
Not long after, Ye Kong, who had changed into his new appearance, appeared in a stadium that looked very spacious. In the middle was the competition arena, and the surrounding stands were filled with people. As it was a virtual network, he could see that there were hundreds of millions of viewers.
Ye Kong was shocked. "Ming Thirteen, you just said that no one pays attention to FPK. Why are there so many people watching?"
"They're not here to watch you!" Ming Thirteen sneered. "No one watches FPK. Therefore, in the middle of MPK, there will be FPK as a way to kill time … It's the same logic as other sports competitions where there are clowns performing in the middle."
"How can this be?" Ye Kong turned around to take a closer look. Indeed, the men and women in the stands were busy talking to each other. No one was in the mood to look at him.
Ming Thirteen said, "Modern society is highly developed. The era of fighting with brute force is gone. With the advent of the universe and the emergence of mecha, all kinds of heavy work is done by mecha. Battles are also carried out in the universe. Therefore, some experts have suggested that humans have entered the era of only needing the brain. With one surgery, we can abandon the body and transplant the brain into a machine. We will instantly become stronger … "
"Indeed, there are a bunch of unreliable experts in every era." Ye Kong cursed. "Bullsh * t, all wrong! This is not the direction that humans should be developing in! Throwing away the roots and chasing the tail, extremely stupid! How can the strength of the human body be compared to that of scrap metal? "
When Ye Kong said this, he immediately covered his mouth. This was because these words came from the depths of his memory!
Could it be that in the depths of my memory, the original me rejected things like mecha?
As Ye Kong was thinking about this, there was a flash of light in front of him and a figure appeared. The figure quickly solidified. Standing in front of Ye Kong was a strong, muscular man. He was shirtless, revealing a body full of tendons.
At this moment, the spectators who had nothing better to do would also take a few glances.
"Bodybuilders like this are rare nowadays. However, in FPK, bodybuilders still have an advantage!"
"Yes, yes. This bodybuilder might be nothing in MPK, but in FPK, he's definitely going to win! "
"That long-haired kid is going to be in trouble."
"What Eighth Young Master? The information on the optical computer shows that he calls himself Eighth Young Master … He must have been watching too many period dramas!"
