Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 286 Why is it this evil star again?
There were so many players participating in BoB that even the preliminaries were divided into sixteen groups.

There are about 100 players in each group, but there are only 30 places that can advance to the final round.

So that means, in each group, only the first and second place have the possibility of successfully qualifying.

Players participating in the preliminaries will be randomly matched by the computer to a map of any terrain for PvP. The winner will advance and the loser will enter the knockout round. Finally, the player with the most group wins will be selected to enter the final round.

Each group consists of more than 100 players, and if they play PvP in pairs, it means that if you want to emerge with a perfect record in the group, you must at least have a winning streak of more than 80%.

Since Kirito and Shino registered at the same time, they were both assigned to Group F when the groups were formed.

Although the competition between them might become more intense because they were both assigned to Group F, they were both greatly relieved that they were not unlucky enough to be assigned to the same preliminary group as Seiya.

The first and second place teams in each group are eligible to advance, and as long as they perform well, there is a possibility that they will qualify for the finals at the same time.

But if they were to be in a group with Seiya again, one of the three of them would definitely be eliminated.

In fact, this computer-generated random grouping method is not particularly fair. After all, some groups are full of strong players, but in the end only two people can qualify.

Some groups basically only have players of average level, but as long as they perform well, they also have the possibility of entering the finals.

The GGO players who were assigned to the group with only two or three kittens were naturally celebrating at this moment, while the players who were assigned to the "dead ones" naturally started to curse.

The group Seiya was assigned to was Group A, which is also the "death group" among all the groups at present because it has the largest number of professional players.

Among the 128 people in Group A, apart from the professional players, the rest are basically well-known veteran players, and there are almost no passers-by players.

When Seiya, who was originally sitting on the chair, disappeared, the other GGO players waiting for the match suddenly exclaimed, "The Golden Lions match has begun. Who knows who's the unlucky guy who will become his first opponent?"

Although there are many strong players in Group A, Seiya is still the seeded player in the group due to his amazing previous record and solid skills.

In addition, although Seiya is a master among GGO players and is very famous, he has not appeared in GGO for a long time. Therefore, many professional players who regard Seiya as an opponent have also begun to pay attention to Seiya's games.

When Kirito saw many GGO players at the scene turned their attention to the big screen when they heard about Seiya's match, he was quite surprised and said, "That Seiya guy has been in GGO for less than a month, right?
I see that we're not the only ones who see him as a formidable enemy. Others seem to be quite concerned about him as well."

On the big screen in the waiting area, the matches of more than ten groups of players competing in the first round were being broadcast simultaneously. However, most of the people present were focusing on the current situation of the match in Group A.

Sinon, who had temporarily reconciled with Kirito, did not find this situation strange, but instead explained, "It's a normal phenomenon. This isn't the first time the BoB tournament has been held, and the GGO community is so small. Everyone already knows all the powerful shooters.

Seiya is a master who suddenly emerged this month. Although some of his previous game videos have been preserved, compared with those veteran masters of GGO, people still know too little about him.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never be defeated! It's not just about skill; the personalities and habits of some GGO players can sometimes become fatal weapons or weaknesses in a match. Of course, it's also because Seiya is truly strong that he's currently attracting the attention of so many professional players.

In the dense rainforest, a GGO player with a virtual body of a strong man, wearing a green camouflage uniform and holding a submachine gun, quickly shuttled through the dense rainforest.

When entering this random map, "Running Bonito" felt that he was quite lucky.

Because the "camouflage uniform" he was equipped with before the game had an excellent concealment effect in this rainforest environment. As long as he could find his opponent first, it would not be impossible for him to come first this time.

The rainforest map is full of dense vegetation, which not only makes his camouflage uniform work well, but also greatly benefits the light machine gun he uses.

In this kind of bushy map, the sniper rifle's line of sight is easily blocked, and there are too many obstacles. Laser weapons have limited lethality and cannot even penetrate the vegetation.

Just when "Running Bonito" thought he had already won at the starting line and the only hesitation was whether he should stay put or take the initiative to attack, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the forest.

"In such a rainforest environment, why didn't you choose to hide yourself, but instead took the initiative to fire and expose your position?

Could it be that the other party is a foolish young man... No, it's also possible that the other party is deliberately luring me into taking the bait. Generally, players who would do this are probably the type who carry heavy weapons and are not easy to move around."

As a veteran GGO player, after rationally analyzing the current situation, Runaway Bonito finally decided to take the opponent's bait.

If it was a map with other environments, he might have hesitated, but now he was wearing camouflage uniform and in this rainforest environment, as long as he crawled forward slowly, it would not be easy for the other party to find him.

The other party probably wanted to sit back and wait, but he probably didn't expect that he had already become a part of the surrounding environment.

Because it is PvP, and not a bounty match with a hundred players fighting in a melee, although the random terrain and landforms are still randomly drawn, the size of the PvP map cannot be compared with that of a multiplayer melee.

Following the sound of gunfire, "Runaway Bonito" crawled forward for dozens of meters and soon saw his first opponent in this BoB. However, just when he saw clearly who that figure was, the whole body of "Runaway Bonito" was instantly numb.

Damn, A is the death group among the dozen or so groups, but if you ask who is the opponent that Runaway Bonito least wants to meet, it is undoubtedly the golden young lion Wenren Shengya who suffered a humiliating defeat before!

If it were anyone else, those famous professional players in GGO, he would be confident that he could win, but when he met Seiya, a monster who could dodge bullets, how the hell was he supposed to fight him?
Before, the opponent only used a used revolver, but he had already beaten him to the point of doubting his life. Now that the opponent is fully armed, what the hell can he do to him?

"Bang-bang-bang-bang!"

The runaway bonito hiding in the bushes looked at Seiya firing several shots into the air and wanted to give up, but he was unwilling to do so in his heart.
