Forest of Lies
The second round of the Interstellar Tournament is still going on. The number of times the mechanical maze publicizes the location of the medal is increasing, and the speed is getting faster and faster. As the competition time is extended, while the medal location is publicized, clues to the 'center of the maze' are also released one after another.
More than half a month has passed, and the second round of the competition has come to an end. All members of teams with a medal are promoted, and the remaining teams without medal are eliminated regardless of whether contestants are alive or dead.
After the second round of the competition, players were also given seven days of rest.
A week, not long, not short, for Su Yu who has nothing to do, it passed quickly.
...
In the bright and beautiful background of the sea of stars, two familiar hosts stood on the high platform, the beautiful androgynous mermaid Yin Lan, and the huge white rabbit Bai Xue.
"Hello everyone ya~" The first person to speak was still the mermaid Yin Lan. With a beautiful smile on his face, he tilted his head and blinked at the audience in front of the screen. His childish appearance became extremely charming against the backdrop of his beautiful face: "Every time I feel that time passes quickly, I meet you all in the blink of an eye."
"Did everyone watch the last game ma?" Bai Xue took over the conversation: "Was it very exciting?"
Yin Lan swung his tail and laughed a few times: "It must be very exciting. Do you still need to ask such a question ma? Especially a certain contestant, who has been in the limelight on the Star Network recently ne, and has never been out of the StarNet Hot Topics~ By the way, the number of clicks on this contestant's video recording is already an astonishing number ge~"
Bai Xue turned her head sharply and glared at Yin Lan, threatening her partner with her eyes to keep his mouth shut, otherwise she could not guarantee that she would not beat Yin Lan in front of the audience.
The contestant who was in the limelight on the Star Network? Do you still need to ask who he is talking about ma? It must be the contestant from Earth civilization - Su Yu! This contestant is like a thorn in the flesh of the Chalk Civilization, it is the kind that cannot be pulled out, and the thorn gets deeper and deeper when trying to pull it out!
Unfortunately, Bai Xue, one of the hosts, comes from the Chalk Civilization, so Yin Lan deliberately mentioned this matter, which was just jumping around in her minefield. It would be strange if Bai Xue didn't get angry. Even though she knew that this was just because Yin Lan was bad by nature and didn't mind watching the fun, didn't deliberately target her, her hand still felt itchy.
"Okay, okay, no more jokes, let's get to the point ba, the audience must be waiting anxiously." Yin Lan noticed that his partner was in a deep mood and the desire to survive surged up, so he immediately changed the subject: "According to convention, the venue and rules of this game are also randomly selected by the Star Network Intelligent Brain."
"Let's get started quickly ba! I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what the Star Network Intelligent Brain will draw this time ne?" Yin Lan finished all the words in one breath, and finally diverted his partner's attention.
In the background of the sea of stars, the huge light screen slowly unfolded.
The audience waited with bated breath for the result, Yin Lan and Bai Xue also looked up at the screen.
Countless images lit up and disappeared on the light screen, as time passed, the speed of the image switching began to slow down gradually. Seeing this, the audience knew that the answer was about to come out, they watched nervously. Finally, the image on the light screen was frozen.
Unlike the first time they drew the mechanical maze, the map picture displayed this time was not a large scene picture taken from above, but a forest path with trees planted on both sides of the road. It might be the color of the trees themselves, or it might be that the weather was not good when the photo was taken, so the overall tone of the picture tends to be dark, and if you look at it directly for a long time, it will also give people an illusion, as if you can see people's facial features from the trees, smiling at people weirdly.
[Yi- what is this a!]
[This picture gave me goose bumps.]
[Loran civilization are all evolved from plants and trees, but are not that scary a!]
This picture makes people feel stressed, it's not just one person who feels this way, but many people. The audience can't help but drift their eyes away, the timid ones even distance themselves from the light screen.
"Aiya... this...?" Yin Lan swung his tail, swam behind his partner, and said pretentiously: "This map is so strange, looking at it make me feel scared."
The big white rabbit moved her three-petal mouth speechlessly, then opened her mouth: "
"..." Yin Lan, who was pretending, was silent: "Bai Xue!!!"
"Behave normally, you're getting too weird I'm a little scared." The big white rabbit shook her ears, and her crystal clear light red eyes were full of innocence and purity. If it weren't for her large size, it would really be a pure and innocent little white rabbit.
The two of them played with each other like a playful treasure. Of course, the time should be controlled well and not too long. The audience was annoyed and turned their attention back to the map. The two people with professional qualities were on the same level and flipped through their memories and quickly found the relevant introduction about this map.
After recalling the memories, the two couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This was another special type map. It was rare to draw special type maps continuously. However, the two thought about it again. In the past, there were too few special type maps in the Interstellar Tournament. The masses have been calling for more special type maps. In this Interstellar Tournament, the organizers finally listened to the audience's call and added many special maps to the database.
In this way, it is not surprising that the base number increases and the probability of winning increases.
"I have good news for everyone." Yin Lan smiled mysteriously and delayed for a while. After arousing the curiosity of the audience, he continued: "This map is also a special type map~Are you happy?"
Not wanting her partner to continue to tease the audience like this, Bai Xue stepped forward, squeezed Yin Lan with her body, grabbed the topic, and said to the audience: "Yes, the map of this game is also a special map. It comes from the Rosa civilization, one of the five major civilizations."
"The name of this map is the Forest of Lies. Does it sound familiar to everyone?" Yin Lan asked the audience.
The audience in front of the screen thought carefully and it really sounded familiar. It seemed to be a story that had been popular on the Internet before. Lying was forbidden in the Forest of Lies. Anyone who entered had to be honest, otherwise they would be left behind in the forest of lies and turned into a tree of lies.
"The rules of this round are a bit complicated o~ Everyone listen carefully." Yin Lan said: "Every night in the Forest of Lies, the trees around the contestants will produce a fruit. Only by answering the questions of the fruit can they pick it~ But it should be noted that only by picking the real lie fruit and eating it can they advance to the competition~"
Bai Xue nodded and added: "This round of competition can be played alone or in a team. There is no mandatory requirement. Contestants are free to do whatever they want."
"Then, the third game officially begins." Yin Lan and Bai Xue, the two hosts, said in unison: "Let us wish contestants good luck together ba."
...
Just like the second time, before the transmission started, Su Yu received a prompt informing him that the game was about to start and he should prepare in advance. Su Yu stood up, controlled his mental power to open the space storage device, and collected all the Zergs in front of him, including the mantises.
[Transmission started, connecting... Please wait.]
Su Yu opened his eyes and saw a forest of lush trees. He frowned and raised his head. The trees were too lush and blocked the light, so the light was dim.
He did not rush to release the mantises, bee mosquitos and other Zergs in the space storage device. Instead, he used his mental power to check the surroundings. After confirming that there were no contestants other than him, Su Yu lowered his head and opened the rules screen. He wanted to check the background introduction and rules of the game first.
①: This is the Forest of Lies, a subordinate star belonging to the Rosa civilization, paying tribute to the Rosa civilization.
②: Lies are not allowed in the Forest of Lies. Violators will be warned and will be eliminated if the circumstances are serious.
③: Every time it gets dark, a lie fruit will grow next to contestants. You need to answer truthfully before you can pick the fruit. But please note that there are true and false lie fruits. Only after confirming the true lie fruit and eating it, you can advance to the competition. Otherwise, you will be eliminated. Please carefully distinguish, pick it in a calm state.
④: There is no mandatory team requirement for this round of competition. Contestants can choose to be alone or in a group at will.
⑤: Every five days, five truth fruits will appear, each of which can help contestants identify the truth and false of a fruit five times.
After reading the rules of the competition, Su Yu simply extracted the important information.
You cannot tell lies in the Forest of Lies.
You can only pick the lie fruit if you tell the truth.
There are true and false lie fruits. Eat the real ones will be promoted, eat the fake ones will be eliminated.
The truth fruit can identify the truth of a fruit five times.
The rules this time were a bit confusing. Su Yu read them over and over again, and finally stopped at the second rule. There was a paragraph in it that only after confirming the real Lie Fruit and eating it, can you advance to the competition, otherwise you will be eliminated. Does this sentence mean that contestants are forced to snatch the Truth Fruit?
Su Yu read the rules one last time, memorized them in his heart, and raised his hand to turn off the light screen.
[Ahhhhhhhh, cub, I'm here to see you! Go boldly and fly with confidence! I'm watching ne!]
[What the hell floated past in front of me? I was so shocked that I sprayed the nutrient solution. Where did this mom fan come from a!]
[Ying, male god, here I come. This time, I beg you, once again, slap me hard in the face, thank you.]
[I was also shocked. What is the operation of asking for a slap in the face? Where did this masochism come from?]
[Brother, you haven't been on Star Network for a long time, right? You can search for the Star Network hot topic some time ago.]
After the game started, the live broadcast rooms of each contestant also started up. The audience who had been waiting for a long time immediately split up, cut out the main live broadcast room, and jumped into the live broadcast room of their favorite contestant to watch the live broadcast.
Because of this half-month-long Star Network popularity, this time, there were more Star Network viewers who followed Su Yu than the first game. As soon as the live broadcast started, the audience swarmed in, filling the live broadcast room, and the number of viewers once soared to a terrifying number.
At the peak, Su Yu's live broadcast popularity even sent him to the first place in the contestant ranking, but he failed to maintain it and soon fell again. Even so, he still occupied the front row and barely stayed in the top 20 of the contestantpopularity.
You know, the top 100 contestants in the live broadcast room popularity ranking are all well-known figures from various civilizations in the Interstellar Alliance. It is already a ten points shocking thing that Su Yu can make it in.
