Good luck with koi carp

"Lieutenant Colonel Chi, this is the competition schedule, please take a look."

Chi Lili walked to the monitoring room and took a document from a staff member, which contained the rules and specific procedures of the competition.

As a regional competition, the organizers did not design overly complicated competition items. They simply enclosed a field and asked all participating students to enter and fight each other. The first three teams remaining on the field would win, and the winning teams would be ranked according to the total points earned by the team.

All members of the team ranked first can add 15 points to their individual scores, all members of the team ranked second can add 10 points, and all members of the team ranked third can add 5 points.

Individual points come from each participating student.

One student represents one point. Each participating student carries a mechanical integrating ball with the number '1' written on it. If the integrating ball is destroyed or the elimination button on it is pressed, the student will be eliminated.

The number on the score ball in the student's hand that eliminates his opponent will automatically change from '1' to '2', and so on.

The higher the individual score, the higher the overall ranking. Finally, the top 20 students in the comprehensive calculation of individual scores will advance to the national competition and receive extra points in the college entrance examination.

There are 126 participating schools, 215 participating teams and 1720 participating students in total.

The team that can win the team victory certainly has the advantage, but if a student can get enough individual points, he can still advance to the national competition even if the team loses. The final result is still based on the individual points ranking. The rules are very transparent and fair, and the entire competition will be broadcast live on Star Network throughout the federation and will be held in front of countless live viewers, leaving no chance for anyone to engage in shady dealings.

That is why Chi Lili, as the elder sister of contestant Chi Xinxin, was sent by the military headquarters to serve as one of the supervisors and referees without having to avoid suspicion.

The competition venue is located in the third largest virgin forest on the planet. One-third of the forest has been fenced off, and this area is also the most dangerous area in the forest. There are a large number of wild animals living in it, and there are even traces of interstellar monsters. The participating students face not only threats from their opponents, but also challenges brought by the competition venue itself.

This is also one of the highlights of the game.

It tests not only the students' combat and teamwork abilities, but also their comprehensive abilities such as survival in the wild.

The competition lasts for seven days. In order to ensure that no team can cheat or be lazy, or cannot meet each other because the competition venue is too large, the competition venue will be reduced in size at 6 am and 6 pm every day. By the seventh day, the competition venue will be reduced to about the size of a football field. At that time, the students will have no choice but to fight each other, unless there are only three teams left on the field.

"What a cruel competition." Chi Li saw some shadows of raising Gu in it, but it must be said that it is precisely because of the cruelty of the competition that the abilities of the contestants can be better demonstrated.

The actual competition started on time at six o'clock this morning. It is now four o'clock in the morning. The staff from various units are making final preparations before the game. Chi Lili also came to the monitoring room backstage of the game early.

She came here on behalf of the military headquarters, so she wore a military uniform today. The dashing uniform made her look even more heroic, and her serious expression made her look solemn and majestic, making people dare not look down on her just because she is young.

Except for a very small number of senior officials, no one present knew the specific information of this representative of the military headquarters. They only knew her name, rank, age, and those who knew a little more knew that she was born on this planet, and that was all.

But just by looking at the spirit beast that was unabashedly revealed on Chi Lili's body, everyone knew that this person was at least an S-level powerhouse.

S-level, maybe this kind of people are very common in the capital planet, but they are rare in their small and not very prosperous planet. Even the strongest person on their planet is only at this level.

So even if Chi Lili didn't try to act serious, they wouldn't dare to look down on her.

Chi Lili, who was expressionless out of habit, said: "..."

After reading through the competition process, she went to check out the surveillance screen that occupied an entire wall. It was divided into neat small windows. The images displayed were taken by various fixed cameras that the organizer had installed in the competition venue in advance and transmitted back synchronously.

After the competition officially begins, the organizers will also deploy a large number of biological camouflage cameras. These cameras will dynamically track the contestants, capture their real-time images, and send them to the monitoring room, which will then be broadcasted to the StarNet live broadcast platform by the monitoring room's intelligent system.

This monitoring room is built at the edge of the competition venue and is a movable building. When the scope of the competition is reduced, the monitoring room will move along with it to facilitate response to possible emergencies.

Although it is called a monitoring room, this building is actually more like a mobile fortress on land. The overall building is a flat oval shape. The top floor is the monitoring room, which is also where the leaders of the organizer, representatives from all parties and teachers from each school stay. Here they can observe the performance of each student in real time.

There are two floors under the monitoring room, which are equipped with living area, training area, armory, medical room, etc.

It can accommodate thousands of people.

In fact, the monitoring room is indeed equipped with an army of about a thousand people, who were transferred from the local army of the planet. They are all mecha warriors, and they are divided into groups of two. During the competition, they will drive small aircraft in the competition venue day and night in shifts to serve as a safety guarantee for the participating students.

If a student is eliminated during the competition, or cannot continue for any reason, they can choose to forfeit. Then the nearest patrol team will be notified to take them out of the competition venue and transfer them to the monitoring room.

There will be special staff in the monitoring room to properly arrange these eliminated students.

"All departments, get ready. It's 5:30 in the morning. Begin the final inspection. If everything is OK, arrange for the students to enter."

When the notice came over the radio, everyone immediately hurried to finish the work at hand. Chi Lili was invited by a staff member to sit in the middle of a row of sofas specially prepared in the area with the best view in the monitoring room.

Counting them, there were thirteen seats in total, and she was actually sitting in the C position.

Chi Lili wanted to change her seat, but was told by the staff that the seats were arranged in advance according to each person's identity and could not be changed.

Guests in other seats were also invited up one after another.

Chi Lili glanced sideways and found that among these people there were the president of Anderson College, the organizer of the game, officials sent by the planetary government as representatives, representatives of the planetary military, representatives sent by the galaxy government, and representatives of various forces.

Even though her military rank is not the highest among them, she represents the military headquarters and her status is naturally higher than anyone else.

They are the referees of this game, but they do not have the right to judge, only the right to watch. They are like mascots. During the live broadcast, the camera will cut to them from time to time, and they may be needed to make some personal comments at that time, just like observing the guests in a variety show.

These were also considered part of the mission content. Chi Lili had been clearly informed before coming and had made mental preparations. There were also videos of predecessors from previous competitions for reference, so Chi Lili roughly knew what she would face.

But she didn't expect that she would become the most prestigious representative in the whole venue, and also the youngest one among them.

She is only nineteen years old this year, and among the other representatives, the one closest to her in age is thirty years older than her. Not to mention being her father, she could be her grandfather. At such an age, even if the average age of interstellar people is older and no matter how young they look, it is still obvious for people to see their age difference. Chi Lili, who is sitting in the middle, really looks like a child who has infiltrated a group of big guys.

A whole conspicuous package.

Her guess was correct. At 5:55, the live broadcast room was opened ahead of schedule, and the picture that appeared was a row of spectators. As soon as the audience who were waiting for the live broadcast with great expectations came in, it was hard not to notice Chi Lili, who was out of tune with the people around her.

The barrage of comments suddenly started to appear one after another.

[What did I see? A little kid got mixed up in a group of middle-aged and elderly leaders.]
[She looks so young. How old is she? Is she an adult?]
[Tips: There is a system annotation introduction next to it.]
……

To make it easier for viewers to recognize people, each person appearing on the live broadcast screen is marked with a miniature personal introduction by the intelligent system, which can be viewed by simply clicking to expand it.

Curious people clicked on Chi Lili's personal introduction page and copied the information above in the barrage area.

[Chi Lili, representative of the Federal Military Headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel, 19 years old, female.]
[The case has been solved. The kid is really underage.]
[Oh my god, oh my god, a 19-year-old lieutenant colonel, and a representative of the federal military headquarters, is this true?]
[Isn't this some young lady from an aristocratic family who came here to understand the people's sentiments?]
[Gilded, everyone who knows will understand.]
[Tsk, I didn't expect even the military headquarters would resort to this.]
[To be honest, among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, a young and beautiful girl is still very pleasing to the eye.]
……

A group of people posted a lot of comments, most of which questioned Chi Lili because of her age, until a comment with bold colored words appeared.

[There's a spirit beast sitting on the little girl's shoulder!]

As soon as this barrage appeared, the entire live broadcast screen was blank for a moment, and then someone reappeared.

[Woc, I looked carefully, it is true!]
[No, that little doll is alive?]
[A humanoid spirit beast, so rare.]
[I actually saw it at the beginning, but I just thought it was a doll, and I was amazed at how childish the little girl was. I didn’t expect it to be a spirit beast?]
……

Ever since she broke through to the double S-level, even triple S-level enemies could not threaten Chi Lili. She no longer hid Chi Lili and often let her out to play.

Because Chi Li doesn't like staying in the spiritual sea all the time, she prefers the colorful world outside.

Knowing that her mermaid image has been exposed, Chi Li does not want to cause trouble for her host, so she now appears in human form. If she sits on the host's shoulder without moving, she can easily be mistaken for a toy doll wearing an ancient long skirt.

But as a living creature, Chi Li can move, and she didn't intend to always play the role of a toy doll, so this movement was seen by the barrage viewers, thus exposing her identity as a spirit beast.

[If there is a spirit beast... that means the kid is at least S-rank.]
[S-rank, this kid is amazing!]
[No wonder he was promoted to lieutenant colonel at such a young age and is sitting here as a representative of the military headquarters.]
……

The public opinion in the barrage changed at this moment. Interstellar people always have enough respect for powerful individuals. Even though Chi Lili is young, as long as everyone knows that she is strong enough, they will give the strong the respect they deserve.

There were two screens in front of Chi Lili, one of which was scrolling with live broadcast images, which naturally also showed comments about her, but she just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.

Ever since she took this position, she knew that she would definitely be talked about. Now it was just something that had been expected and it happened. It was not a big deal and would not affect her.

What she was paying more attention to now was another screen, which displayed the personal information of each participating student, followed by several scoring items, which were used to score Chi Lili.

This kind of scoring will not affect the students participating in the competition, because it is only Chi Lili's personal subjective evaluation, but it will eventually be submitted to the military headquarters. The staff of the relevant departments of the military headquarters will evaluate the potential of each student based on this scoring sheet and finally select the good seedlings who can be contacted in advance.
Of course, this is just a reference and cannot represent everything. The relevant departments are very strict in screening potential talents and will take action only after collecting sufficient data from all aspects.

However, Chi Lili has three recommendation quotas. If she has a promising talent, she can use these three quotas to recommend that person directly. If it is proved that she has really found an outstanding talent for the military, she will be rewarded afterwards.

This news is a secret, but Chi Lili is definitely not the only person who knows it.

Ever since she stepped onto this planet, some people had been trying to find out about her, either openly or secretly.

At 5:58, the participating students had arrived at the competition venue on large aircraft, ready for the upcoming competition.

Seeing this, Chi Lili and others also perked up and focused their attention on the big screen in front of them.

There is only one picture above now, which is the appearance of all participating students entering the venue.

The surveillance screen scanned the spirit of each team in turn, so that the audience before the live broadcast could see clearly this new generation of outstanding talents.

Basically, only people from the same galaxy will pay attention to the regional competitions, and those who can participate in the competitions are all the best students from their local key universities. Most of them can be regarded as celebrities in the school, and some of them have even gained a certain fame early on and were recognized by the audience in front of the barrage, but most of them are still their classmates and relatives.

[Wow, He Zhouqian, the goddess of our school! ]
[Brother Chen, I see you.]
[Ji Ziwen, your father is here.]
……

The barrage of comments was as lively as Chinese New Year, but the people on the field were as nervous as if they were being tortured.

They were listening to the organizer's representative explaining the rules of the competition.

"...On the first day of the competition, you are not allowed to attack each other. When the red light is on, it means that contact is prohibited. You can fight freely...I look forward to your performance. The next game is about to begin. Countdown five seconds..."

The audience of the barrage kept a close eye on the time and started counting as well.

[Five, four, three…]
[Two, one!]

At six o'clock, "the game begins."

When the representative of the organizer announced the start of the competition, he directly dropped a square piece of metal. As soon as the metal landed, it was as if some mechanism was triggered. A magnificent metal wall suddenly rose from the ground and surrounded the entire competition venue. At the same time, holes opened on the top of the metal wall, and countless mechanical mosquitoes with strange red eyes on their heads flew out. These were biological camouflage cameras.

These little mosquitoes are scattered around each student, ensuring that there is at least one camera following closely beside each student to monitor their competition process in real time.

Of course, when they encounter private scenes, they will be automatically blocked, and no illegal scenes will appear.

The first day of the competition is an adaptation and transition period for the participating students. They are allowed to carry a day's worth of water and food. Even if they do nothing, as long as they pay attention to safety, they can successfully get through the first day in the competition.

After the game started, all the teams dispersed tacitly and ran in different directions, trying to keep as much distance as possible from others.

Some teams from the same school will choose to go together, stick together in the early stages, and rely on numbers to gain a certain advantage, which can be considered a kind of tactic. Some teams from the same school choose to separate, and everyone has their own choice.

There was nothing much to watch on the first day of competition, and everyone mainly spent the time getting to know the contestants.

There are personal live broadcast rooms for each contestant on StarNet, as well as a general live broadcast room for the studio, where viewers can choose their favorite channels to watch.

Currently, everyone prefers to concentrate in the main live broadcast room. After all, there are more things to see here, and you can also hear comments from representatives from all parties on the contestants.

But it was only the first day, the contestants hadn’t performed much yet, and the representatives didn’t have much to comment on, so everyone was very quiet.

"There are three teams participating in the Anderson competition this time. I wonder which team Lieutenant Colonel Chi likes better?"

Suddenly hearing someone asking her a question, Chi Lili took a moment to react before replying, "Sorry, I can't comment right now. The competition has just begun, and I'm not very familiar with these players."

The questioner had a polite smile on his face, but his words were clearly meant to stir up trouble: "But I seem to remember that Lieutenant Colonel Chi once studied at Anderson, and one of the contestants at Anderson this time is your sister, named... Chi Xinxin, right?"

The man even pretended to take a look at the list of contestants before pointing out Chi Xinxin's name.

[Wow...oh.]
[This is just the beginning and it’s already going to explode.]
[Fight, fight, I love watching!]
[What? Little Sister’s biological sister is actually at the competition?]
[Isn't this a matter of avoiding suspicion?]
[Why avoid suspicion? The rules of the game are transparent. These representatives claim to be referees, but they are actually just mascots. They cannot influence the final result of the game, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.]
[No, who is this person? Why did he come out to embarrass our little sister?]
[I smell a conspiracy. Anyone here willing to share some gossip?]
[I know, I know. He is the principal of another school on a different planet in the same galaxy as Andersonchi. I heard that his school lost the bid for the competition hosting rights from Andersonchi and only got two teams to participate. He may have held a grudge against Andersonchi and used Little Sister to provoke Andersonchi’s principal. After all, according to him, Little Sister was Andersonchi’s student before.]
[No, it's too bad to make trouble in such a public place. He's the school principal.]
[Looking at our little sister, she is young and easy to bully.]
……

Indeed, the young Chi Lili has not experienced much, and it is easy for her to be confused when she is suddenly embarrassed by others. If she accidentally says something wrong at this time, it is very likely to trigger public opinion that is unfavorable to her.

But as someone who had been to the front-line battlefield and faced the Insect Queen directly, she had seen all kinds of scenes, and this little verbal embarrassment would not have any effect on her.

So she just replied very calmly: "Well, I have read it, my dear sister, but I am not familiar with it."

[A little girl who values ​​words like gold.]
[What she said was that she did study at Anderson College, and Chi Xinxin was her biological sister, but the two sisters were not familiar with each other, right?]
[Telling a joke, about sisters who are not familiar with each other.]
[I am Anderson's student, and I can attest that the relationship between these two sisters is really not that good.]
[What? Insider, arrest him and tell me all the information you know. Don't force me to kneel down and beg you.]
[I was actually not very confident at first, but after she admitted it herself, I was sure that she was indeed Chi Lili.]
[So what’s going on? Please tell me quickly. I’m so anxious!]
[Ah, but it’s not good to expose someone’s privacy in public, so I’d better not say anything. Let’s continue watching the live broadcast.]
[grass! ]
[grass! ]
[Grass, a kind of plant.]
……

Unexpectedly, the person who knew the truth just jumped out and made fun of everyone. Everyone was very angry, but there was nothing they could do. No matter how much they encouraged him, the other party was unwilling to talk. They could only swallow their anger and focus their attention back on the game.

The first day had a rule that they could not fight with each other, so the participating students did not have too many twists and turns. After they dispersed, they gradually explored the competition venue and looked for places to stay for the night.

When spending the night in the primeval forest, a sufficiently safe shelter is very necessary.

Small-scale conflicts also occurred at this time.

Since the starting points are at the same location, even if everyone gropes their way out from all directions, there will inevitably be overlap with other teams. And there are only so many places suitable for overnight stays. If you like one and I like one too, it will easily lead to conflicts.

It was just that since they couldn't take action on the first day, everyone could only solve the problem through verbal arguments or discussions with each other.

[If he were not a cultured person, he would not use a single dirty word when scolding someone, and would fully insult the other person's entire body.]
[I feel sorry for those who are not good at speaking.]
[His defense is broken, his defense is broken, hahahaha…]
[Red is warm, but unfortunately I can't do anything even if I'm so angry.]
[I love watching this show.]
……

Not to mention the audience, Chi Li also enjoyed watching the students scolding each other, and occasionally she would feel like she had learned something.

Chi Lili noticed Chi Li's excitement and wanted to remind her not to follow her example, but because of the camera in front of her, she had to give up.

Maybe because Chi Xinxin had just been mentioned, Chi Lili couldn't help but look at her team. She saw that they had chosen the same habitat as a team from another school, and a dispute broke out between the two sides.

There were too many young masters in Chi Xinxin's team, and they were all bad-tempered guys. When a dispute broke out, the two sides almost started fighting. It was only because Chi Xinxin tried her best to stop them that nothing happened.

Otherwise, according to the rules of the competition, anyone who fights with others on the first day will be eliminated on the spot.

No one knew what they talked about afterwards. The boys from the other team saw that Chi Xinxin chose to give in, which made the girls in their team so angry that their faces turned red.

I'm not trying to slander you, Chi Xinxin always attracts the favor of the opposite sex.

This was like her innate skill, which worked every time. Chi Lili had suffered countless losses because of it.

If Chi Li hadn't confirmed with her own mouth that her sister just had a bit of bad luck, Chi Lili would have almost thought that she was the reincarnation of a demon.

The competition lasted for seven days and seven nights. It was impossible for these people to sit here for seven days and seven nights. Even if they could endure it, their buttocks couldn't bear it.

So they actually only need to watch for two hours each in the morning, afternoon and evening. They can use the rest of the time to do their own things. If necessary, they can watch the accelerated replay afterwards.

The first day of competition ended in a somewhat boring way.

Before six o'clock the next morning, viewers who were familiar with the schedule were waiting in front of the live broadcast, looking forward to the high-energy scenes that were about to follow.

[Is it time to start?]
[It's about to begin.]
[I'm really looking forward to it. This kind of competition is exciting only when everyone fights each other.]
[Come on, Brother Chen, beat them up!]
[Humph, the people in our school are also very powerful, it’s still unclear who will defeat whom!]
……

Just as everyone expected, when the time came to six o'clock the next morning, as the competition venue was shrunk again, red lights were emitted from countless surveillance cameras, indicating that the ban on fighting had ended, and the next step was the melee time.

One team took the lead. They did not sleep the whole night and deliberately waited near the habitat of the other team. As soon as they saw the signal to lift the ban, they rushed out and knocked down their sleepy opponents and got their points.

The first eliminated team appeared.

And this was just the beginning. One after another, people fought each other. It was either you eliminating me or I eliminating you. The competition reached its first peak of elimination. All the patrol teams were busy. They were either picking up the eliminated people or sending them back to the monitoring room.

Chi Lili quickly scored each person on the screen based on their performance. She was only scoring those who had been eliminated. Those who had not yet been eliminated could continue to stay on the field and could be observed further. (End of this chapter)
