The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 259: Specially invited boxers, additional rewards, and the Grand Prix Tournament begins!
Since Huanyue was not present at the scene, it was difficult to understand the source of the heroic sniper's confidence.

Plus, his end was too noisy, so after trying to persuade him a few more times, he hung up the phone.

After that, we waited for 15 minutes on the first floor of the Sky Arena before we finally got to see the specially invited contestants who came to familiarize themselves with the equipment and virtual fighting.

Above the head of the character in the front, the two words [Hou Cong] are particularly prominent.

So it is not difficult to guess -

The characters next to him who "go online with their real names" are either Dream Building staff or players invited to participate in the [Grand Prix].

Huanyue quickly memorized several IDs——

[Woz Morgan], [Xu Tong], [Scarlett Simmons], [Sheng Yingyi], [Chen Weiguo]…

Then he quickly ran up to the second floor and sat in the audience seats to watch the game.

At the same time, I also asked the viewers in the live broadcast room to help check. If you see these names in different mirrors, please invite yourself to form a team and watch across the mirrors as soon as possible.

——There is only one arena on each floor, so it is impossible for thousands of players to line up one by one.

That will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the horse.

Mirror server is an indispensable mechanism.

Huanyue’s approach was very wise.

In less than 3 minutes, a fan invited him to form a team and pulled him to another mirror.

There, he saw Hou Cong's first game——

This former Asian boxing champion is apparently not used to fighting in a full set of somatosensory synchronized suit.

He just stood there and threw several punches.

After each swing, I would look down at my hands. I was very uncomfortable with the sudden slowdown in punching speed.

In order to adapt as quickly as possible, he only defended and did not attack in the first few minutes.

Keep moving, dodging on the ring, adapting to the rhythm.

The opponent’s ID is [Lenny from Phuket], a poor anchor with only 288 fans and only a dozen viewers in his daily live broadcast room.

Because of the recent censorship storm, I feel that the future of the games I live stream is uncertain.

It was only at the suggestion of fans that he came to DreamWorks, a company that is said to have "extremely strong backing" and "doesn't care about censorship at all."

He also spent a "huge amount of money" to go to the experience center to live broadcast.

——The price of the official game experience center of Dream Building is not high, but for a streamer like him who only has 288 fans, everything he does is "huge money"...

In short, today was his first time coming to the Sprawling City, his first time entering the Sky Arena, and his first time playing a game.

Then, he met the former Asian boxing champion, Hou Cong.

What bad luck!
After a barrage of punches, he didn't even touch a single hair of his opponent.

Lenny's initial nervousness and uneasiness in Phuket quickly faded, and was replaced by anger!

"What the hell!"

He took a step forward and rushed towards Hou Cong.

But Hou Cong easily dodged it with a few flexible changes of direction.

I also gently pushed Lenny's shoulder when he changed direction in Phuket - thanks to the safety rope, he did not lose his balance and fall.

This broke his defense immediately.

Standing on the ring, he shouted, "If you're a man, don't run!"

"Face me head-on!"

Hou Cong then stopped.

Lenny from Phuket was overjoyed and punched him hard.

Hou Cong punched sideways, and with a cross counter punch, he hit his opponent hard in the face!
All Lenny from Phuket saw was a fist appearing before him.

The next second, the perspective flew away.

Hou Cong touched the fist in disbelief, surprised by the real feeling of the impact just now.

Then he couldn't help but care about his opponent: "Are you okay?"

"Fuck..." Lenny from Phuket couldn't bear the humiliation and wanted to admit defeat on the spot.

But before admitting defeat, he glanced at the live broadcast room.

I was shocked to find that in the live broadcast room, which usually had only a dozen people, there were now 600... 800... no, more than 1000 people!

People are still coming in now!
Lenny in Phuket didn't know what was going on yet, but the thought of giving up disappeared immediately!

The character has climbed up.

Then keep fighting!
In the ring, Hou Cong undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage.

But Lenny from Phuket was recognized by the audience for his willpower as he kept fighting despite being completely out of reach of his opponent.

In the end, Hou Cong didn't even have the heart to hide. He stood there and exchanged punches with him, then hammered him to death.

There was polite applause.

Huanyue climbed up to the third floor, intending to watch another fight - although Lenny from Phuket fought very ugly, Hou Cong's movements of dodging a series of turtle punches without any injury were very pleasing to the eye.

But he didn't see Hou Cong on the third floor.

My friends didn’t see it either.

By the time the audience discovered Hou Cong again, he had already finished the second game.

And he didn’t even go to the third floor!
Several minutes of complete invulnerability, coupled with a 100% win rate, brought his hidden points to the sky.

This caused him to ascend directly to the 30th floor!
...After Hou Cong, Huanyue watched the competitions of several other specially invited players.

It was discovered that these people almost all had overwhelming advantages over ordinary players.

Even those "brick-breaking masters" who have always been questioned perform well in the ring - at least at the low level, they can always confuse their opponents with a pair of iron fists.

After watching these games, Huanyue didn't want to run into these people at all...

"I don't want to meet Hou Cong and be treated like a monkey by him in the ring."

"As for beating up the specially invited contestants, you should go find the Dragon City Flying General... He's already on the 90th floor, right?"

As he spoke, he opened the live broadcast room of Longcheng Feijiang.

But what surprised him was that the live broadcast was not the arena of the Sky Arena, but the battlefield of [Hell on Earth]!

"what's the situation?"

"We're almost at the 100th floor. At this critical juncture, why don't we rush forward?"

Huanyue was stunned.

After a few seconds, he finally reacted:

Long Chengfei will be a very famous commander in "Lord of War"!

Now that the Global Challenge qualifiers are in full swing, he's back to lead the team in the competition!

Many netizens in the live broadcast room were just as confused as Huanyue:
"You've already reached the 93rd floor, why don't you rush to the 100th floor?"

"You may not be able to advance by commanding the team, but if you reach the 100th floor, you may very well get the holographic display device!"

"Now someone has offered 80 yuan for that device!"

"I really regard money as dirt."

……

Doesn’t Longcheng Feijiang care about money?
Of course he cares.

But there were more than a hundred people in the group waiting for him, and they had already agreed to compete in the global competition together.

A real man should stick to his word.
Therefore, Long Cheng Feijiang has only one answer to this kind of barrage:
“My team needs me.”

As a result of this delay, the [Grand Prix] officially started.
-
October 12, 28pm.

Due to the turmoil caused by the major censorship in the gaming industry, the number of Dream Builder users has reached a new level.

——Even though they did nothing.

However, this unshakable attitude easily attracted the trust of a large number of players.

Lenny in Phuket is just a microcosm.

Behind him are a large number of new users who have migrated to DreamZhu!

These new users are at the stage where they are most enthusiastic about the activities organized by DreamZhu.

In addition, in the previous few days, specially invited players arrived in Ningzhou one after another, entered the Sky Arena to familiarize themselves with the competition environment, and staged many famous scenes.

This has resulted in an astonishingly high level of attention being paid to this Grand Prix!
The official live broadcast rooms of Zhumeng alone on major live broadcast platforms around the world have attracted more than 1200 million viewers in total!
If the broadcasts by various anchors are included, the number of viewers is very likely to exceed 1500 million!
Under the watchful eyes of millions of people, Xu Meng appeared outside the Sky Arena to open the game.

"Welcome everyone! Come and watch the New Year's Eve special show of the Sprawling City——"

"2025 Grand Prix!"

"The rules have been announced before. In case there are new viewers who are not aware of them, I will briefly repeat them here."

"The only rule of the Level Up Grand Prix is ​​to use all your strength to reach the top of the Sky Arena!"

"Other than that, there are no rules!"

"This is a completely no-holds-barred fight!"

"There is no part that cannot be hit!"

"There is no move that cannot be used!"

"If you can drive a big truck onto the ring, you're welcome to use it!"

"The only rule—"

“Reach as high as possible within 30 days!”

"All players - whether invited or ordinary players, those who reach the top will receive a bonus of 800 million Xia Yuan!"

"At the same time, you will also get the status of [Honorary Player], the title of a special fighter, a commemorative holographic display device, and a limited edition holographic gold belt!"

"Dream Builder will also customize ultra-high-precision character modeling for you!"

"If you wish, we will create a fighter NPC based on you. You will become a permanent NPC in the Sky Arena and will remain in the Sprawling City forever!"

"In addition, the rewards for the top 5 fighters and the top 3 non-invited players will be reduced by one level."

“Finally! Even if you don’t have any results, if you play an exciting and impressive game, there will still be surprise rewards!”

At this opening ceremony, Xu Meng suddenly added a series of additional rewards in addition to the 800 million bonus.

I don’t know how many players who originally had no hope and simply intended to watch the fun were once again aroused to participate!

After Xu Meng achieved his goal, he announced without further delay:

"So! Fighters!"

"The Sky Arena Grand Prix has officially begun!"

"Go start your career as a fighter!!"
