Hearing this, Su Yu also remembered the business. It was not wrong. He came here for the points package. As for the problem of 'snatching', if the contestant is willing to give it up, it is not a problem. However, judging from his defensive look, it should not be possible.
In this case, there is nothing to say. The spiders around Su Yu took action. They crawled towards Mudo, step by step, while the latter retreated step by step.
"Dean Xue Fei told me that you are very powerful and have unique abilities. If I meet you in the competition, I must not underestimate you." Mudo suddenly spoke and said seriously.
Is this an indirect flattery of him ma? Su Yu thought.
On the other side, after saying this, Mudo made an unexpected move. He threw the points package in his hand high into the spider group that gradually surrounded him. At the same time, the silver ring on Mudo's wrist glowed faintly. The next moment, a mini mecha of the same color as the bracelet appeared out of thin air. The inside of the mecha quickly opened, in a few seconds, it wrapped Mudo's body, then closed tightly.
"My mechanical army is not yet completed. We will see each other in the siege." The mecha took Mudo up. He floated in the sky. After saying this to Su Yu, he drove the mecha away.
Su Yu watched Mudo leave. If he wanted, there were several ways to keep Mudo, but his main purpose was the points package. As for the contestants, Su Yu was not a crazy person who liked fighting. Before the siege, he still had to try his best to preserve his strength.
A firebird spider came forward with a package in exchange for a touch. Su Yu stroked it a few times, thinking back to the words Mudo said when he left, mechanical army? He had heard of this existence in the Yellow Sand Country, but he don't know, when the mechanical army faced his Zerg, who would win.
[Is anyone watching Mudo's live broadcast room? How many mechanical army does he have?]
[So far, he has only built about thirty, but don't forget that there are other Ange contestants in the mechanical city, and they are also building. It's hard to say how many there are. We won't know until the siege.]
[Don't know the exact number, but I can estimate it a, about a hundred.]
[Hiss, they can sweep this competition area ba? I feel that Su Yu and his team are in trouble even with Northfield and Menggro. It's not a problem of strength, but they are too busy.]
[As long as they stay in the top three and can be promoted, it's fine. They don't have to be the first.]
The audience chatted and after a round of analysis, they were worried about the 'mechanical army' mentioned by Mudo. However, on the screen, the person who should have been worried was not worried at all. Su Yu took out eight packages and opened them all together with the one he had just obtained, earning a total of 280 000 city points.
The points packages were released every three hours, there was not much time left before the next round of packages were released. There was no need to rest, so Su Yu once again rushed to the next round of packages.
While scrambling for the packages, Su Yu developed a 'bad habit'. This story started with a timid contestant who was frightened by the appearance and number of spiders and thought that Su Yu was a vicious contestant. In order to save his life, he took out the things in the space storage device and 'offered' them to Su Yu.
In other words, these things are equivalent to buy life with money.
Su Yu had no intention of attacking the contestants, unless there was a conflict or other reasons. When he saw the props and energy stones that the contestant took out, he paused slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face. This behavior reminded him that he might do something else on the way to get the points package.
Time passed slowly, and the night before the siege began, the system appeared again, this time to notify the end of the event and remind them that the siege was about to begin.
Su Yu counted his gains. It was impossible to make a fortune in just a few days, but he was a little rich. In addition to the city points, there were also various props and a pile of energy stones. The former was thrown into the space storage device for temporary placement, and the latter was thrown into the Blood Pool of the Wordless Heavenly Book to fill his stored energy.
When the siege begins tomorrow, these energies will come in handy. Thinking of the nest bug, Su Yu felt a little more expectant. He wonder if it can bring him a pleasant surprise?
After collecting all the spiders from the outside world into the Wordless Heavenly Book, the Moon Limb Snake turned around and took Su Yu back along the original route, rushing back to the affiliated camp at the fastest speed. The timing was very coincidental, just when Su Yu entered the city, the system notification sounded.
[The siege is about to begin, please be prepared.]
[Rule ①: Each city can only be attacked once a day.]
[Rule ②: A successful siege will earn 3 million city points, while a failed defense will result in the opposite. When the city points return to zero, all contestants in the camp will be eliminated.]
[Rule ③: Open the points ranking list, contestants can view the points of all cities.]
[Rule ④: There is no time limit for this game, until the last three cities are left.]
[Friendly reminder: The power of unity is the greatest~]
In Su Yu's city, there are not many contestants who left for the points package, but there are about a hundred. After he came back, other contestants rushed back to the city one after another.
Northfield has spatial ability and was one of the first to return to the city. He waited at the city gate for a long time. When he saw the huge body of the moon limb snake bug, he knew that Su Yu had returned. He walked up to him quickly. The two met and chatted casually for a few words, all of which were meaningless.
During the chat, Su Yu felt that it was a bit quiet around him. Thinking carefully, it was missing the chattering and lively (?) Menggro, so he asked and got an accurate reply from Northfield: "He ran too far and is still on his way back to the city."
It was just a casual question, so it was not surprising to hear this answer. Su Yu nodded, indicating that he knew, and no longer paid attention to Menggro's affairs. Instead, he said: "Then let's go back, discuss about the matter of the siege."
"Now ma? It's late at night." Northfield's tone was gentle, but with an obvious disapproval. He advised: "You have been running around for so many days. For the sake of your health, you should have a good rest."
The Zerg's night vision ability is very good, and Northfield can clearly see that after he said this, Su Yu's expression was indifferent, without any change, and obviously did not listen to this advice.
Northfield and Su Yu have been together for so long, but this is the first time that they have faced Su Yu's disobedient and 'willful' behavior. For a moment, he felt complicated, didn't know whether he should feel relieved or helpless.
In this matter, Northfield naturally couldn't beat Su Yu.
The two walked on the main road of the city one after the other. In addition to them, there were many contestants walking on the road. Although it was late at night, there were indeed many contestants awake at this moment. After all, the system's siege announcement just sounded not long ago, there were not many contestants who could sleep peacefully as if nothing had happened.
After returning to his residence in this city, closing the door and sitting down, Su Yu went straight to the topic.
The first thing he mentioned was the siege rules in the system announcement just now.
Su Yu and Northfield skipped the unimportant rule information and focused all their attention on the friendly reminder that was not considered a rule. The power of unity is the greatest? Just looking at this sentence, it's a bit nonsense, but the Interstellar Tournament can't be nonsense in this matter.
"What does this sentence imply?" Su Yu asked, looking thoughtful.
"You can understand it literally, reminding us contestants to unite with each other." Northfield said. He naturally had more experience than Su Yu in the Interstellar Tournament. While Su Yu was still guessing, he already understood the meaning of this sentence.
Su Yu looked at Northfield.
"Each city can only be attacked once a day." Northfield reminded. He did not directly say the deep meaning of this friendly reminder, because there was no need. Su Yu could understand it with just this one sentence.
As Northfield thought, Su Yu was not a slow person. After hearing this sentence, he understood it after thinking silently for a while.
Each city can only be attacked once a day, there is no time limit for the siege battle in this game. If they just let it go, and cities repeatedly pull points, will this game last untli the year of the Monkey and month of the Horse[1]? At this time, the role of friendly reminders is revealed.
Each city can only be attacked once a day. This statement is true, but it does not say that a city can only be defended once a day. If you want to end this game quickly, the only way is 'unity'. This 'unity' does not refer to the unity between contestants in the same camp, but the unity between camps.
As long as multiple cities unite and choose the same goal, this problem can be solved.
If a city fails to defend once, three million points will be taken away. So this city will fail how many times ne?
Thinking of this, Su Yu's expression suddenly changed.
Northfield kept paying attention to Su Yu. This obvious change in expression certainly attracted his attention. He asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ranking." Su Yu's black eyes were solemn.
His hand kept moving and turned on the light screen. Next to the map icon, there was another ranking icon. Clicking it, all the city points were displayed on it, from high to low.
Just as Su Yu thought, among the ten cities, their city points were the highest, they were ranked at the highest position... This is certainly not a good thing! This proves that if other cities choose to join forces...even if these cities do not join forces, they will be the first to bear the brunt. After all, the high points are eye-catching. If they don't attack them, who else can they attack?
Now, Su Yu has a very bad guess.
When it gets light, most of the other nine cities may choose to attack them.
What Su Yu can think of, Northfield can certainly think of, the two are silent.
[Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, the ranking list is actually announced directly? I thought I had to wait until the later stage!]
[Opening the ranking list at the beginning is so pitfall a. The more points a city has, the more difficult the situation will be.]
[I am a little panicked. Su Yu and Northfield won't lose ba?]
[We have to wait until daytime to see how many camps will choose Su Yu's side. It's okay if there are only two or three, but if there are many...]
Northfield's expression changed slightly, but soon, he regained his composure and comforted Su Yu: "It doesn't matter. We just need to hold on to the early stage, the other camps will change their targets."
[1] 猴年马月 (hóu nián mǎ yuè) = The original saying is "donkey year, horse month". The traditional Chinese lunar calendar uses the combination of the twelve earthly branches to record the years, the twelve earthly branches correspond to the twelve zodiac signs. Since there is no donkey in the twelve zodiac signs, it is impossible for the year of the donkey to appear, so "donkey year, horse month" is used to refer to a time that is far away or unpredictable. In the process of transmission, later generations often say "monkey year, horse month".
