Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 296 Opening
Through the glass window of the lounge, Li Jiu could clearly see the interior of the competition venue.
Outside was a huge venue similar to an open-air stadium, surrounded by densely packed stands, which were almost full of spectators. The number of spectators was so large that it was shocking. Li Jiu looked around and estimated that there were at least 100,000 spectators at the scene!
But unlike ordinary open-air stadiums, there is no so-called grass under the venue, but a huge circular metal floor.
In addition, Li Jiu also looked up at the top of the venue.
Looking from the lounge, one can see the blue sky and white clouds, as if it were really open air. However, with his extraordinary eyesight, after careful observation, Li Jiu discovered that there should be a transparent arched shield above the venue, with faint colorful light flowing on it.
At the same time, in the huge space in the middle of the venue, one could see a number of hovercrafts shuttling back and forth. Li Jiu estimated that those hovercrafts were probably the staff on site busy debugging some of the equipment in the venue...
Overall, the competition venue was like a huge man-made funnel, only smaller than the No. 16 base of the Fourth Army Knife that Li Jiu had seen before.
"For just a regional tournament at the district level, the alliance has built such a huge venue. It seems that they really take this God of War Tournament seriously..." Li Jiu thought to himself while being shocked by the magnificence of the East Suburbs competition venue.
Just from the huge scale of this competition venue, Li Jiu could feel that the God of War Tournament was definitely the first major event for the Alliance mercenaries.
After all, you have to know that the amount of money needed to build such a huge venue must be an extremely huge astronomical figure. At least with Li Jiu's current several hundred million Alliance Coins, he can probably only build a small part of the entire venue...
Since the alliance government is willing to spend so much money to build a regional competition venue, it can naturally be seen that they attach great importance to the God of War Championship.
In addition, Li Jiu also knew that behind this mercenary event, there must be huge economic benefits hidden... This is an event to stimulate the consumption of alliance citizens, and it is also an event for all forces in the alliance to make money crazily...
Of course, these things behind the scenes have little to do with Li Jiu. What he cares about is whether this event can bring him enough benefits.
Li Jiu stood in front of the window of the lounge, looked outside for a while, then found a sofa, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest during the time before the show started.
…
"Little Leo, come and see, the game is about to begin!" After a long time, Li Jiu, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly heard Bella's slightly excited voice.
"Hmm?..." Li Jiu raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes.
At this time, the players in the room walked to the inner window and watched the situation in the stadium with interest, so he followed them.
Through the window, Li Jiu was slightly surprised to see that there was a disc-shaped flying vehicle with a diameter of about three meters in the arena, which was steadily suspended in the air in the center of the arena, about thirty meters above the ground. And on the disc stood a girl wearing camouflage military uniform, looking heroic.
A moment later, a bright golden beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky from the disc under the girl's feet.
Then, everyone was shocked to see a huge three-dimensional projection of a girl appear out of thin air in the arena.
"Welcome everyone to the Zhongzhou Province, Shoushan City's Fifth District, East Suburbs competition area." After a moment, the huge projection of the girl suddenly spoke. Her voice sounded very sweet, full of enthusiasm and vitality.
As she spoke, the disc under her feet began to spin spontaneously, driving the huge projection of the girl and greeting the audience in all directions.
And then, the girl went on to say a lot of things, which were nothing more than the common opening remarks in large-scale events.
"Now, there are still five minutes before the first game officially begins." Finally, the girl smiled and raised her arms, and said to the audience around her passionately: "Let us welcome the two teams for today's first game into the arena with the greatest enthusiasm!"
The girl's voice was very magnetic and infectious. While she was speaking, she kept waving her arms to the audience around her, instantly igniting their enthusiasm and they started to cheer like crazy with her...
Along with the cheers of the crowd, Li Jiu was surprised to see that on the metal floor of the stadium, ten dazzling and thick beams of light suddenly lit up and shot up into the sky.
Because the light beams were too dazzling, ordinary people could not see clearly what was inside them.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiu's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked over intently.
At this moment, ten circular holes with a diameter of about two meters appeared on the metal floor of the stadium, and the light beams were shot out from these holes.
A moment later, Li Jiu saw ten cylindrical transparent containers slowly flying out from the holes.
As these containers flew out, the brightness of the light column gradually weakened, and everyone could finally clearly see the appearance of those cylindrical containers.
It was seen that the ten cylindrical containers were arranged in a standard circle. The hatch covers on both sides of half of the containers were black, while the hatch covers on the other half of the containers were brown.
In addition, in each cylindrical container, there was a fully armed mercenary in military uniform standing in the air.
Li Jiu knew that those cylindrical containers were called zero-gravity hibernation capsules, and the ten mercenaries inside were the two teams in today's first game.
What surprised Li Jiu was that in those five black hibernation capsules were mercenaries from the Bobcat Mercenary Group .
However, among the five Bobcat mercenaries, he did not see the yellow man Zhang Cheng who had fought with him before. It seemed that the guy was not qualified to represent the Bobcat Mercenary Group.
As for the other team in the competition, Li Jiu also knew it. It seemed to be called the Blackbird Mercenary Group.
Li Jiu and his teammates had evaluated the strength of these two teams before the game, and they were only at a lower-middle level in the East Suburbs. Therefore, Li Jiu didn't care much about their battle, and just visited the on-site operation process of the game.
