Astral Flower-Chapter 108: Broadcast

<Another university’s dormitory, Nan Xian Mu’s location>

Nan Xian Mu had logged into the Virtual World and looked at the relatively empty area with a bitter smile. Even he knew that the group competition was not very popular, but this seemed to be rather deserted.

Well, there were definitely military people who watched from other areas, though.

He picked a seat and quickly searched for the name list. As he looked at over 80 teams, he seemed to have just remembered that he forgot to ask for his sister codename?

Nan Xian Mu was speechless at his stupidity.

He quickly texted his father to ask for his sister’s codename. It should be easy for someone at their father’s rank to get Nan Hua’s codename.

Ding!

There was a text message coming.

Father: "She’s in team 57. Can’t you ask this yourself?"

Seeing the text message that was filled with dislike, Nan Xian Mu really wanted to tell his father that he completely forgot about the codename system. In the end, he resisted the urge so that he would not end up being scolded even worse by his father.

Nan Xian Mu looked at the list and decisively went to arena 6. There was a countdown of less than 2 minutes on the screen, which meant that the competition will start in two minutes.

He thought for a moment and then called Nan Xian Tang.

Nan Xian Mu: Xian Tang, did you go to watch Nan Hua’s competition?

Nan Xian Tang: I’m on the viewing platform. Are you also there?

Nan Xian Mu: Huh? How come I didn’t see you?

Nan Xian Tang: ...Even if there are only few people who come, the size of this platform is bigger than stadium.

Nan Xian Mu: Right, where are you? Uh, I mean, which letter.

Nan Xian Tang: T

Nan Xian Mu: ...I’m in B

Nan Xian Tang: Goodbye, the broadcast is starting.

Nan Xian Mu heard that and quickly raised his head and saw that they had already shown the picture of the entire forest from above. It was clear that there were 10 different teams who were placed in different areas.

On top of each people, there will be their nickname showed on the screen.

This was to let them to know who they were since their appearance looked very similar to each other. Only their body’s built was different and unless one’s built was very eye catching, it was hard to differentiate one after another from the screen.

Nan Xian Mu swept his gaze and was tempted to ask his father for his older sister’s codename.

But in the end, he didn’t do that and instead focused on the 10 different teams.

In the beginning of the game, they would be placed at the outer edge of the forest with a map handed to them. The map only showed their initial location and also the location of the two check points they could reach in order to get points.

So... it had started.

...

"Huh? We’re so far away." Tian Lou’s face scrunched when he saw that they were very far from the check point.

"Everyone should be at the edge of the forest, so it’s relatively fair." Long Shi Yu had participated in several competitions, so he was very familiar with the routine. He pointed inside. "Shall we run?"

"Okay." Long Qian Xing turned to Nan Hua. "Shall I carry you?"

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and nodded.

With the speed she showed, it was estimated that she would never reach the check point until the game is over.

They were all carrying their weapon and Long Qian Xing’s weapon was a sword, a gun, and also a knife. It was all light weapons that didn’t really take much place. On the other hand, Nan Hua carried the sniper gun’s case on her back, a gun, and also a knife hidden.

They could only pick three different weapons when they entered this place and neither one of them could be explosive.

Long Qian Xing crouched down with his back in front of Nan Hua. In this competition, it was more convenient to carry a person on his back rather than carrying in front of him.

Nan Hua didn’t hesitate and moved forward. She stretched her hand to Long Qian Xing’s shoulder and then wrapped her leg around his waist. This position felt a bit awkward for Nan Hua, but she suppressed the discomfort in her heart.

At the same time, she was wary of anything Long Qian Xing do.

This distance was not very safe for Nan Hua who usually wouldn’t get too close to other people. For the sake of her own safety, it was important for her to keep the distance with other people.

"Let’s go." Long Qian Xing ran into the forest.

Long Shi Yu wanted to tease Long Qian Xing but nearly cursed when he saw Long Qian Xing’s sprint. His physical strength score was lower than Long Qian Xing, which meant that his speed was far lower than Long Qian Xing.

If this damned cousin of his dared to run so fast, Long Shi Yu could definitely guarantee that he would be tossed behind.

Tian Lou was about to say that Long Qian Xing was very rarely acted like a gentleman but seeing Long Qian Xing’s posture, he could only chase after the other party.

"Damn it! You’re too fast!"

"This is competition."

"Don’t speak."

The moment the last sentence was said, everyone shut their mouth tacitly. As they traversed the forest, they were also trying to detect whether there were other people around them or not.

If there was someone...

They should make the first move to eliminate them.

Nan Hua was looking around in nonchalant manner. In the eyes of others, she was only trying to keep watch but failed to do it well enough.

In truth, she was able to notice the faint movements in the distance and many others.

The competition was based on realistic simulation, so Nan Hua could faintly perceive the wind, the smells of the ground, and many others.

It was very realistic.

At the same time, Nan Hua was somewhat reminded of the training that she did in the past. Because one of the few locations she had to enter was also the forest where they had to fight live and death battles.

"There’s someone," Long Shi Yu suddenly whispered.
