What if I become an elf?

Sun Xiao glanced at the camera, with a flattering smile on his face, opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.

Ignoring Li Xi, who was approaching from the side, he shook the letter twice in his hand, unfolded it, straightened his back like a eunuch reading an emperor's memorial, and began to read it majestically.

"Regarding the large-scale elimination of players in the 'Wind God Cup' global finals, our game management department has determined that it is a natural evolution accident that occurred during the competition and does not constitute a malignant incident that affects the normal conduct of the competition."

"The game continues!"

As the content of the letter was gradually revealed, Sun Xiao's expression changed from arrogant at the beginning to confused and embarrassed. His face was livid, and his voice while reading the letter became weaker and weaker, and in the end it was almost non-existent.

Li Xi on the side stopped paying attention when he was halfway through reading. He just lowered his head like an ostrich and remained silent.

The whole studio suddenly became quiet.

In sharp contrast, there was a sudden increase in the number of barrages in the live broadcast room.

【???????】

[Does this mean that the matter is over? I can’t accept it! 】

[This competition system is not fair at all. Why should so many people in our temple be eliminated at once! Where are they? 】

[Woo woo woo, my Zeus, my Athena...]

After Nintendo's official statement was released to the outside world, a new round of public opinion storm rolled up on the Internet.

Its spread is so wide and its impact is so great that even people in certain fields that have nothing to do with the gaming industry have been affected by this storm and have affected their daily lives.

That night, his company's stock price plummeted by five percentage points, and even continued to decline.

Is Nintendo's attitude really that tough?

The answer is naturally no.

They don’t want to either! Who can’t get along with money?

It's just that they really don't know how to deal with it.

As mentioned before, the specific matters in the "Wind God Cup" competition, including creating venues, selecting Pokémon, allocating players, etc., are mainly responsible for the artificial intelligence of the game "Pokémon: World".

Although they officially formulated the competition process, when the game actually started, they couldn't get involved at all.

All actions that attempt to affect the progress of the game will be blocked by artificial intelligence from the data network.

The incident happened so suddenly that Nintendo officials had no room for maneuver.

The only way is to activate the backdoor they left in the artificial intelligence data terminal and force the other party to shut down.

But if this is done, the "Wind God Cup" competition will be stopped urgently and all the contestants will be ejected.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Nintendo, which has invested a lot of money in publicity and marketing before the game in an attempt to increase the influence of the game.

Therefore, they had no choice but to bear the pressure of public opinion from the outside world and chose to continue the game.

As for the lizard that caused all this, the result of discussions between the relevant departments within the Nintendo Company was that they would wait until the competition is over before dealing with it.

In order to recover their losses as much as possible, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

……

……

The passage of time is silent and endless.

A few days passed by in a hurry,

The "Wind God Cup" finals have finally entered the final intense stage.

"Da da... da da..."

The sound of rapid footsteps accompanied by rough breathing echoed in the dark and cramped corridor.

A bright crimson light suddenly burst out from the end of the corridor, illuminating the road ahead and also reflecting two figures running wildly on the stone walls on both sides.

"What the hell, where are you hiding?"

Huo Rong's breathing was rapid and his expression was angry.

"I just don't understand. It's not that you want to do anything. It's just a communication. If you listen to a few words from me, you'll die, right?"

He glanced towards the front illuminated by the flames of the Fierce Arrow Eagle, as if searching for something.

"There is nothing we can do. After all, we are all lone wolf players. Such a reaction is not an exaggeration."

Beside him, Qingwu said helplessly.

"It's just... we have to hurry up."

As he said that, he looked behind him with some fear.

There, the narrow corridor fell into a deathlike silence after the flames of the Fierce Arrow Eagle passed by.

The deep darkness, filled with unknown and fear, shrouded it once again.

It was as if there was a pair of inexplicable eyes staring deeply at him in the darkness.

At this time, more than ten days had passed since they escaped from Lu Yun.

After knowing that the other party is too powerful and cannot be fought by oneself alone,

Huo Rong, Qingwu, Lei Zhen and others decided to change the plan temporarily. Although recruiting members was still the first priority, the main enemy changed from players from other guilds to the monster-like lizard.

Even, in order to gather as much strength as possible to get a chance to confront Lu Yun head-on, they will temporarily recruit some players who are willing to cooperate.

Although there are quite some doubts about Lu Yun's existence, due to the deep prestige accumulated by the Prehistoric Guild for more than ten years, many players have expressed their willingness to join the alliance.

Ever since, under the guidance of Huo Rong, Qingwu and others these days, a cooperative organization formed due to external pressure was quietly born on the venue of the "Wind God Cup" finals.

At this time, they were searching for a group of lone wolf players hiding in a hidden underground base.

Yes, in these days, in order to achieve good enough results, many players who originally entered the finals alone also chose to unite to fight against the guild forces.

If Huo Rong can persuade this group of people to join his alliance, it will definitely be a great help in fighting against Lu Yun in the future.

But unfortunately, its progress seems to be somewhat unsatisfactory.

This group of lone wolf players seems to have some prejudice against players from big guilds like them.

We had just met and had not even exchanged a few words before we hurriedly hid in this underground base.

This is why Huo Rong is a little angry now.

On the other hand,

The monster that attacked them before seemed to have noticed something.

During the last two operations, traces left by the other party were found.

He even had some premonition in his heart,

If you don't hurry up, something unexpected will happen on this trip.

"Zilla—"

After the inexplicable sound came to him, Huo Rong felt his heart skip a beat and his hair stood on end.

Turning his head suddenly and looking back,

All he could see was darkness.

At this moment, he seemed to recall what he had witnessed in the forest before Dong Ming was eliminated, the cold shadow that lurked and squirmed in the darkness.

"found it!"

Suddenly, a shout from Qingwu beside him brought him back to his senses.
