Play Game of Life

The security personnel picked up the laser pointer and looked at it carefully.

"It looks like a laser pointer? Then this..."

He looked at the catnip ball again. Obviously, he could barely recognize the laser pointer, but the catnip ball seemed to have touched his blind spot of knowledge.

Judging by the appearance of the security inspectors, it seems that they intend to get the high-end equipment next to them for inspection.

Lu Zhixing tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, and explained: "Oh, this is a catnip ball. Like a laser pointer, it is a cat's toy."

The security inspector looked at Lu Zhixing's nameplate again: "You are a designer here for the competition, right? This thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with the competition?"

Lu Zhixing nodded, and said straightforwardly: "Why, can't you take it if it has nothing to do with it? I brought it for my cat along the way."

The security inspector hurriedly said: "Of course, it's nothing, please come in."

It is estimated that the security inspectors are also a little confused. In his long security inspection career, it should be rare to see someone who came to the academy for a competition and brought a cat toy along the way.

But he also consciously didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Zhixing packed his things and continued walking inside.

Staff like this generally have a strict tone of voice, and they won't talk nonsense when they shouldn't say it. Moreover, laser pointers and catnip are unlikely to connect him with that parkour master, so you can rest assured.

Soon, Lu Zhixing came to the hall on the tenth floor according to the guidance, and successfully found Zhou Ping, Wang Yang, Chi Yue and others.

This hall is a special circular hall with a huge holographic projection device in the center.

This holographic projection device was similar to the one Lu Zhixing used at the college's welcome party, except that it was several times larger in size, and it projected from the bottom up.

Above the stage, there are four large screens facing different directions, which is a bit like the arrangement of large screens in many e-sports competitions.

Holographic projections and large screens ensure that all audiences can see clearly.

Only then did Lu Zhixing know that there were eight research groups in Jinghai, with relatively more people in groups 1 to 4, and fewer people in groups 5 to 8.

The group has the largest number of people, and has obtained the most resources from the government. The one sitting in the front row who is fat and bald is the group leader Feng.

Lu Zhixing also saw Tong Jie and Tong Zhuo, who were in the first group and the third group respectively.

Tong Zhuo originally planned to participate in the competition in Yangcheng, but after being temporarily pulled over by Tong Jie, things there were delayed, so he had to participate in the competition in Jinghai nearby. And the third group happened to lack a capable player, so they pulled him over.

Zhou Zhouping said with emotion: "The strength of the first group and the third group should not be underestimated. How about it? Are you confident?"

This question is not about asking for directions, but about a contestant in the second group, a senior motion capture actor named An Yunkai.

An Yunkai is a well-known motion capture actor in Jinghai, and he is also a second-level martial arts athlete.

An Yunkai is usually relatively taciturn. Lu Zhixing met him a few times in the second group, but there was no in-depth communication.

"It's hard to say, I will do my best." An Yunkai said.

Zhou Zhouping smiled: "Don't put too much pressure on it, this game is mainly for entertainment, only the old Feng in the first group is eager to get back the field so he attaches so much importance to this game, and even spends a lot of money to hire foreign players.

"We have Xiaolu's "Ordinary Life", the research performance has long been enough to shake off the group, and it's no big deal to lose this competition.

"Relax and do your best."

As a top motion capture actor, An Yunkai has more comprehensive skills than pure parkour players.

For example, to understand some martial arts routines and fighting movements, you also need to dabble in some performances. After all, the collection of expressions is also part of the collection of movements.

If it was a pure parkour route, then An Yunkai's chances of winning were not great.

But this time the arena is not just parkour, there are also some other mechanisms, and there are some less intense confrontation content, so if you really run, An Yunkai will lose before he sees it.

"Team Leader Feng? When will you come to the second group for tea?" Zhou Ping greeted Team Leader Feng cheerfully.

Group leader Feng gave him a blank look and didn't want to speak.

Zhou Ping didn't mind either, he laughed. It's just a pity that Professor He Cheng is not here today, otherwise there should be more fun happening.

The people from each research group arrived soon one after another. The host came to the stage and started to go through the process as usual. After the opening remarks and the introduction of the guests, the venue for the competition began to be formally introduced.

The huge holographic projection equipment on the stage projected the panorama of the entire venue, and with the host's explanation, the details of each level were presented in front of all the audience.

At this time, Lu Zhixing and other "little mice" are also ready to enter the virtual world under the guidance of the staff.

There is a special area in the venue, where there are many VR game cabins.

Although VR helmets can also be used to play VR games, the rules this time are stricter. For example, the physical fitness of the players in the virtual world is strictly limited to be consistent with reality, and the real equipment must also be completely brought into the game. in the virtual world.

Therefore, a more advanced VR game cabin must be used.

In addition, exhibition matches and main matches have different rules. The rules of the main competition cannot be discounted, but if the guests in the exhibition competition are particularly weak, the system will automatically raise them to a baseline that can barely pass the whole process.

There will still be disadvantages in terms of physical fitness, but it will not be so difficult to give up the game after running two steps.

The staff gave simple explanations to these designers, which are some common precautions, mainly for those designers who do not often enter the virtual world.

Lu Zhi's traveling in the virtual world is already a routine, so of course it doesn't matter to him.

A young man next to him secretly reached out to him: "Hello, Lu Zhixing, right? I'm Han Qi, a researcher in a group, and I'm also a designer just like you."

This is the little Han who led the way when Professor He Cheng went to the group.

His status in the group is similar to that of Wang Yang, they are both outstanding young people who are being trained in the group.

Lu Zhixing shook hands with him: "Hello, please give me your advice in the future."

Han Qi said with emotion: "Hey, I heard what Professor He said about you.

"If Team Leader Feng asked you to come to a group for a test, maybe we would be colleagues.

"You don't know how greedy the people in our group are for the resources you generated!

"It's a pity! Who knows what Team Leader Feng thought at the beginning!"

Lu Zhixing smiled and didn't speak. From Han Qi's words, he could feel how much resentment the people in the group had towards Team Leader Feng.

Han Qi asked again: "Are you confident about the game in a while?"

Lu Zhixing shook his head: "I'm just a beginner, the most important thing is to participate."

Han Qi nodded: "Well, me too. But let me remind you, be careful of the designer of the sixth group for a while, his name is Du Han."

Lu Zhixing followed Han Qi's gaze and found that it was a man with yellow hair, who looked strong and muscular. From the outside, it's hard to tell that he's actually a game designer.

"Why should you be careful about him?" Lu Zhixing was a little puzzled, "Should I have no grievances or enmities with him?"

Han Qi shook his head: "No, no, you have a grudge against him, but you don't know it.

"Did you win the first prize in the previous 'Building Dreams' game design competition?"

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes."

Han Qi continued: "Then there is no problem. Du Han also participated in this competition at that time, and he also carefully prepared a plan. Originally, he was determined to win the prize money for the first place.

"I didn't expect that you would take the lead even before he came to the stage.

"And what he did was a design plan designed to fool people, and no one else took a fancy to it. It was a waste of work."

Lu Zhixing was a little speechless: "Then what does this have to do with me, is it unreasonable to hold grudges against me?"

Han Qi sighed: "If a narrow-minded person is reasoning with you, is he still a narrow-minded person? Anyway, you should be careful when the time comes. In this competition, all the contestants are mixed together, and he is likely to make small moves."

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Understood, thank you for reminding me."

Soon, the staff finished introducing the rules, and everyone lay down in the VR game cabin.

After them, An Yunkai, Tong Jie and other official contestants also entered the game cabin.

Except for these game players, other people cannot enter the virtual world and can only watch it outside.

A moment later, Lu Zhixing appeared in the preparation area of ​​the competition venue.

He felt his body, and it was consistent with reality without any change.

This is also normal. After all, his physical fitness is considered top-notch, enough to run the entire course, and the system judges that there is no need for any improvement.

The entire playing field seems to be suspended in mid-air, and the route of the game is very wide.

The height of the preparation area is much higher than that of the competition field. If you look down, you can see the whole scene of the field clearly.

Although not enough to see all the details, the basic information can be understood.

The host let Lu Zhixing wait for the designers to get ready before the starting line, and finally told everyone: "I would like to emphasize to everyone that if there is any injury or fall on the scene, it will be reported out of this virtual space. If you run smoothly If so, you can stay in the virtual space and watch the subsequent games in the preparation area.

"It is possible to obstruct the rear players when the mechanism allows, but it is not allowed to directly pull or have other aggressive behaviors.

"Entering the center of the field counts as a win.

"As for the contestants..."

The host looked at An Yunkai, Tong Jie and others who were waiting in the preparation area: "After you enter the central area, you have to get the key placed there. The first one to get the key is the winner, and will automatically Obtain the highest control authority of this virtual space.

"Is everyone clear?

"Okay, then the game officially begins!"
