Chapter 4 The Spike Game
It was noon the next day when Shi Min woke up.
The familiar chandeliers, familiar windows, familiar air, and familiar beds are sure that they are my dormitory.
"Oh, it's really like a strange dream."
The unlucky boy looked up at the ceiling and murmured to himself, he still couldn't remember how he took off the mecha and went back to bed to sleep, or... he was really just dreaming?
"Faced with reality, idiot, paranoid disease cannot solve the problem."
A very familiar and impatient tone sounded over his head, and there was an "person" in Shi Min's vision above.
She was about 140 cm tall, with a very petite figure, and her long soft night hair was scattered like a curtain, flowing all the way to the girl's ankles. As for her facial features, it was even more indescribable. She was dressed in a strange Gothic style outfit, which made her look like a custom doll from a high-end store, but her face was very bad, as if Shi Min owed him five hundred yuan. But these were not the point, the girl's body was hanging in the air, yes, it was the kind of feet off the ground like a horror film ghost, which could scare people at first glance.
Fortunately, after the first time, Shi Min discovered that her body was composed of unknown substances like light films, close to translucent, in other words, not a complete entity.
"Saye, please, this is my second time reporting to my house."
The projector girl with mind-reading ability has learned what Shi Min is struggling with.
"Oh, sorry."
Shi Min jumped out of the bed in a panic and put on his clothes. Sha Ye rotated half a circle in the air and landed on another empty bed in the dormitory. He held his small and delicate chin in his palm and looked at Shi Min impatiently.
"By the way, I'll remind you that it's already twelve to forty minutes now, and it's only fifty minutes away from your first afternoon class."
"Damn it! So fast!"
Shi Min was busy putting on his clothes. After experiencing a series of tragedies such as wearing trousers, tops, and belts with wrong buttons, he finally solved the problem of wearing within ten minutes. Sha Ye, who watched coldly, concluded that "he has developed such a virtue in more than ten years, and being a human being is a waste."
After sleeping for so long, the strong hunger of the merger of brunch suddenly surged up. He hurriedly threw the red sausage bread and juice brought from home into the microwave to heat it. Shi Min rushed to the bathroom and quickly poured cold water on his face, then made out the heated food, tear the plastic wrapping paper and chewed it while cleaning the textbook. Only then did he feel that living alone was good, at least he could monopolize two people's living facilities.
"By the way, don't eat...oh, or charge or something?"
Shi Min was only halfway through his words, and then suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him was just a virtual image. However, since it was an obvious artificial product, unless the legendary perpetual motion machine was created, it would definitely be necessary to have an energy connection to operate. However, Shi Min could not see the channel for Sand Night to obtain energy.
"It doesn't matter, my backup energy is stored in the 'skeleton', and there is no need for the time being."
Saya said as if nothing had happened.
Although she didn't understand what she was talking about, in order to avoid being squirted, Shi Min stopped thinking and shut up and stopped asking.
At one point, one person and an unknown creature went out together. The footprints left by the mecha battle yesterday were still shockingly branded on the road. The lamp posts, parking, and stone strips were all lifted out of their original position. The broken turf vegetation was scattered all over the ground, which looked terrible. The workers were busy repairing the outer floor of the apartment building that was crushed by the gray-black mecha yesterday. However, if you look closely, Shi Min found that the damage to the building itself did not seem to be as serious as you imagined.
The white-green mecha and the gray-black mecha were gone. Thinking of the messed-up shots from the gray-black guy last night, Shi Min was scared into a cold sweat and thought it was broken. He wouldn't have killed someone, right? He has never even killed a chicken since he was a child. It would be too exciting to kill someone on the first day of college!
"Don't worry, with the power of the assault pistol, at most it only destroyed the main armor layer. People can't die. To be precise, it took a full three years to play in the Peak Game, but no corpse has been produced."
Outside, Sha Ye's figure became completely transparent, and his speech pattern was changed to a sentence directly in Shi Min's mind. It's not polite to read people's thoughts.
"'Spike Game', is it just playing games like this?"
This is the second time I heard this term. Shi Min felt that he was almost crazy. What is this?
"Open your eyes, silly, look at the people around you."
Saya hummed impatiently.
Shi Min subconsciously looked around. He was not stupid, at least not particularly stupid. He immediately discovered the problem after just scanning. Some of the students who came and went to take photos of the scene excitedly, some pointed at the damaged apartment buildings, and some whispered around the pits and bumps. It seemed that ordinary people should have basically performed, but the same thing was missing.
That's surprise.
Facing this kind of scene that should be shocking, no one showed this feeling.
This incredible phenomenon can only show one thing, that is, the fierce mecha conflict such as last night, it seems as common here as picking up girls in and after class.
But that's too scary. What the hell is this?!
Shi Min was dizzy and sneaked into the class army, crossed the intersection, entered the teaching building A, and started the first course of his college career. It seemed that many people had not recovered from the inverted routine of black and white during the summer vacation. It was less than five minutes before class, and people were still rare.
"Huh, it's really a boring place. I didn't expect that such an old teaching method could be seen in this century."
"What else can I teach you? Just plant a chip in my head and use a computer to input it?"
"It's almost that. The Americans have started to conduct experiments. Also, now it's a brain wave communication mode. You can directly form ideas in your brain and interact with me without saying it."
"oh."
Shi Min nodded, and to be honest, he was too crazy like talking to himself.
The bell rang, and the last group of students entered the classroom almost at the same time as the teacher. The teacher was a thin old man in his fifties and sixties who looked quite kind and said that he was the king. Then he wrote a lot of nonsense like the new semester and new atmosphere. I hope everyone can study hard and not skip classes.
"Squeak"
The folding seat on the left rings, Shi Min turns his head and sees a big man with muscles all over his body smiling at him friendly.
"Hello."
The folding seat on the right sounded, and Shi Min turned his head and saw a gloomy and cold young man aiming at him with an upset face.
"Look at it, and then break one of your legs."
The folding seat behind rang, Shi Min turned his head and saw a hippie young man looking at him with a very hooligan smile.
"Yeah, we've met again, slutty."
The folding seat in front rang out, Shi Min turned around and saw a familiar ponytail girl with big eyes smiling brightly at him.
"Good morning, do you have anything to say?"
Of course there is.
Shi Min squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying.
"You... are finally going to attack me."
Shi Min didn't listen to anything in the three classes, and after class, he was brought into a remote office deep in the first floor of the administrative building like a kidnap.
As soon as he entered, Shi Min was surprised to find that this room with an appearance that was no different from other offices was a large war room. There were satellite maps marked with various light spots hanging on the wall. A large-sized table was placed in the middle with a holographic three-dimensional projection of the campus. Three large display screens in front were constantly jumping with surveillance screens. Several military laptops with two circles larger than civilian models were connected with wires. A Shi Min looked at a familiar young man who was operating several computers quickly.
"Hi, junior, we're meeting again."
The man raised his hand and greeted him. Shi Min immediately recognized that this guy was not a member of the student union who received him into school?
It turns out you have a share too!
"Huh, OK, okay, junior, have you brought your student ID?"
"Huh, this?"
Shi Min subconsciously took out a magnetic card from his trouser pocket. Lu Yao grabbed the card and swiped it on the card slot of the desk, then snapped his fingers with satisfaction.
"OK, welcome to join the Security Department, junior!"
"Hey, I didn't say anything yet!"
"I didn't say it, it's a default."
"What kind of bandit logic is this!"
"Sorry, this is normal logic. We have played the 'spike game'. Of course, our security department has the obligation to force you to join."
Shi Min was stunned. Why is it the Peak Game again? What is this thing that has been lingering since the start of school?
"Zhou Ming, come on."
He was too lazy to explain and curled his lips and tilted his head to the Chief Financial Officer of the Security Department. The latter coughed, put down his work, pushed his glasses and stood up.
"The Peak Game, in short, is an irregular confrontation in the first-tier universities in my country with strong R&D capabilities. The main purpose is to show the latest scientific research results of your university. Oh, you may not understand it very well. In short, just like Nokia smashing walnuts and Nokia bombing tanks, it is a confrontation game that relies on an abnormal way to gain a lot of attention."
"Blame me Nokia again."
Shi Min muttered, and suddenly remembered another thing.
Since it is a competition, it always aims to be safety first and friendship second. But now it is a matter of making trouble. Blasting buildings and demolishing houses is almost the same as terrorist attacks.
After asking Lu Yao, the senior sister's reply was very scary:
"Don't worry, since it's competitive, there must be rules. For example, large firearms and heavy knives are not allowed in the apartment area, and the firearms can only use high-explosive bombs designed with reduced charges. In addition, the core cockpits of all mechas are made of enhanced titanium alloy. Even if the eight-inch naval gun is directly hit, it cannot penetrate. Therefore, even if you fight outdoors, using powerful ammunition to directly bombard the bomb will never cause casualties. It may be a bit scary."
Shi Min almost collapsed.
It's just "a little scary". Boss, how do you grow your nerves?!
"By the way, the campus buildings participating in the Peak Game have been specially treated. The basic materials are high-end steel cement and some composite panels. It is no problem to withstand normal small and medium-diameter armor-piercing bombs and body impacts. We will also have an early warning before the Peak Game begins, so you can rest assured that this point is that we have been fighting for several years and have not seen anyone die."
God, it turns out that I am sleeping in a bunker.
"But even if you don't die, isn't it too troublesome to fight like this every day?"
"Yes, so the more than 60 universities that started to join Peak Games were mostly eliminated in the first half of the year before Peak Games began. Only a few of us survived to this day."
Lu Yao's originally bright expression suddenly became a little heavy.
Shi Min suddenly thought of another question. Since that is the case, who are the award presenters and referees? They will not be the principals of several schools, right?
"Of course it is impossible. Both are held by the military. The purpose of Spike Game is to attract the military's technological investment, otherwise why would you think of using mechas as the main body of competition?"
Sha Ye Dao. Shi Min pays attention to the use of sound waves in this sentence, rather than using brain waves to directly appear in the brain.
As the space fluctuated slightly, the Gothic girl with long night hair suddenly appeared in the air. The members of the security department present were not surprised at all, as if they were already very familiar with her.
Lu Yao raised his hand and said hello:
"Oh, Xiaoye, I didn't expect you to agree to come out. I have never seen you satisfied with the carriage we selected before, so why did you suddenly like this junior?"
Apart from being born, Shi Min, who had never done anything else to choose from a thousand miles away, was so excited when he heard this information. He thought to himself why such a good thing had been on his head. Could it be that he actually had some special talents that made people stand out?
Sha Ye glared at Shi Min fiercely, his eyes so fierce that they were terrifying.
"I have never seen such a scumbag guy before, and I was completely disliked, but others always pressed the verification button. Dissatisfied is a little bit of "rejection". Unexpectedly, this idiot pressed me more than ten times in a row, which made me fucked and accidentally slapped "Agree"."
