MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 131: The Performance Competition Begins



An illusory black light screen enveloped the stadium, instantly transforming it into a boundless night. This was the latest light and shadow technology.

A layer of light was projected, completely blocking out the sunlight, making the covered area as dark as dusk even in broad daylight.

Then, countless fireworks exploded in the sky.

“Wow, that’s beautiful.” Stunned, Tongtong quickly taking a picture with her communicator.

“What a pity, why do they have to control fireworks, we can’t buy them even if we want to.” Da Vinci also excitedly watched the continuous explosion of fireworks.

In this era, they had adapted too much to environmental protection, coal and petroleum had been out of the market for hundreds of years.

At that time, the Earth was riddled with holes, and human society spent centuries revamping the planet’s environment, but too many species had already become extinct.

Human society unanimously passed stringent environmental protection laws forbidding any factory or individual from destroying the ecological environment, and heavily polluting factories had already moved to radiated planets like Mars that was akin to a desert.

After more than a hundred years of rectification and recovery, the Earth’s ecosystem gradually restored and the gains were enormous. With the improvement of the environment, various diseases significantly decreased, and humans became even healthier.

The most important thing was that the average lifespan of humans was also increased by more than twenty years, so it was not a rarity for 80-year-olds to be walking around briskly in this era.

Fireworks required application for use, even for the Ancient Gods Company, they were only released on major holidays or sports meets.

The dazzling fireworks were indeed pleasing to the eye, followed by the host introducing the event’s schedule and procedure.

Then came the performances by the stars, and with the stars’ flashy appearances, they ignited the stadium.

Next was the scenery showcase of “The Ancient God World”. Even without glasses, the audience was immersed as if they were in a different world due to current projection technology.

When surrounded by chirping birds and fragrant flowers, you can smell the scent of flowers and soil. When amidst the storm, you can feel the fury of the storm and the magnificence of the surging waves, making you feel insignificant. When you are in the desert filled with ancient relics, you can feel the scorching heat. When you are in a volcano, you can sense the desolation and cruelty of the Elemental Plane.

If you are in the towering Ironforge, you can feel the snowflakes in the sky and the majesty of the castle; if you are in the Ghost Land, you can see undead and decaying breaths; if you are in the ruins of titans, you can feel the ancient atmosphere.

The audience’s exclamation sounded one after another. With the current projection technology, even at home, people could enjoy immersive experiences. At the same time, countless people were attracted by various sceneries.

The display and explanation of various races, grand war scenes, and magically epic battles were like each person was a part of the battlefield.

When the picture disappeared, people were still wrapped up in the world of the game. Even the players of the game, being low-level and relegated to corners, had never seen such magnificent scenery, and all of them were immensely fascinated.

Afterward, the host began to introduce the next program, and some scenes started to switch.

In Area C, Li Jia suddenly said, “Look quickly, Brother’s there! He’s sitting next to You You, that’s amazing.”

Li Yao’s mother also saw Li Yao and smiled, “Indeed it’s Xiaoyao. The beauties next to him are not bad. Eh, why isn’t he sitting next to Xiaoyi?”

Li Jia quickly explained, “Ahem, he’s obviously protecting the beauties, so naturally, he would be on the edge.”

“That’s true.” Li Yao’s mother just casually asked, then said, “Are you sure your brother will participate?”

“Definitely, Brother must have completed an elite mission, otherwise, he wouldn’t be in the players’ area. So he’s definitely going to take part. But the individual performance seems to be in the afternoon.” Li Jia explained.

Li Yao’s mother smiled and nodded to Li Yao’s father, “Look, our son is much more successful than you now. Have you ever been on such a big stage?”

“Stop arguing, I can’t hear the program. Xiaoyao is also interesting. We could have watched from home, why did he waste money to buy us tickets?” Li Yao’s father grumbled.

“Oh, please. You should stop now. You know how hard it is to get tickets, don’t think I’m not aware. You didn’t even sell it to Old Zhao next door who offered to buy it for three times the price.” Li Yao’s mother nonchalantly exposed his secret.

“Ahem, watch the program, let’s watch the program.” Li Yao’s father pretended to concentrate on the program.

Li Jia snickered…

Nearing noon, designers and some cosplayers took the stage, answering a variety of iconic questions.

The atmosphere was very lively. As the event deepened, many people who had not entered the game and came specifically for certain stars were basically intrigued by now.

Noon was a break time, a two-hour lunch break where you could order meals or go out to eat.

Transportation was so convenient now that distributing half a million people was a piece of cake.

The magnetic levitation car could traverse Mingzhu City in ten minutes, so there was no worry about returning on time.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, a staircase extended to You You’s position, and You You began the first performance of the day.

A rendition of “Dream World” conquered everyone. This was a song specially created for the game and was performed for the first time today.

Paired with the beautiful landscapes changing in the Ancient Gods, and the light and shadow effects played to the extreme. You You’s appearance was also continuously changing.

Sometimes she was a beautiful High Elf Mage, sometimes a wild ancient elf Druid, sometimes a stern and righteous Paladin enveloped by Holy Light, and sometimes she turned into a charmingly attractive Death Knight.

The beautiful singing, the scenery, and her style complemented each other perfectly, leaving the audience in ecstasy.

After the song, there was a skull-shattering scream and applause like a tide.

Then there were two performances, and then the host announced the start of the individual performance competition.

Afterward, a handsome boy and a beautiful girl slowly walked towards the commentary booth. This also drew a burst of gasps and screams.

“Hello everyone, I’m KB, and I’m honoured to commentate this performance competition for everyone.”

“Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Ze, and I’m also honoured to reach commentary booth.”

KB nodded and said, “You all may be wondering, this performance competition is special because even the players don’t know the rules of the competition yet.”

“True, this was the official’s original intention. What the official wanted is not a flashy performance, instead is a true display from the game. This is actually an event in the game. The official cannot interfere at all and it’s absolutely fair and just. Why do you think the festival had an uncertain start date?” Xiao Ze asked.

KB said, “Let me answer this. Because no one can manipulate game data, so the official festival is adjusted according to the game’s storytelling. The date for the festival was set when our performance competition, which the game calls Elite Trials, was officially determined.”

The audience was surprised, and many people were interested. Even official data can’t be changed. This is absolutely unprecedented.

“Alright, let’s not waste time. Up next, we invite a player. More accurately, the one who first qualified for the invitational match and set the festival time, the elite player, Starfire.” Xiao Ze looked at the chief seat, “Please Starfire, do us the honour of making an appearance.”

Li Yao was caught by surprise. Since it was sudden, he wasn’t prepared at all…
