The host gave the order and everyone started running immediately!
Lu Zhixing was not in a hurry at all. He ran slowly at the back, carefully observing the route ahead as he ran.
The entire route basically spirals downward, so you can observe the route below in advance and be prepared. Lu Zhixing's current behavior also meets the requirements of the role of "overly cautious parkour master".
His eyes swept across the various mechanisms on the route, and finally landed on the target area in the center.
There is a special platform there with a gorgeous pedestal.
There is nothing on the base at this time, but after the main game starts, a key will appear on the base.
That key is the final prize of this competition: the supreme control of this virtual space.
Contestants who win this prize can give the key to the research group they represent.
In fact, Lu Zhixing is also very greedy for this secret key, but there is no way. This competition limits the identity of the contestants. They must be registered on the official platform for more than one year, have a clear cooperative relationship, and have enough works to produce.
Catching actors.
This is reasonable. After all, there are so many official motion capture actors, so they must be screened.
If Lu Zhixing does not meet the conditions, he will naturally not be able to participate in the main competition.
However, if you get first place in the guest competition, you can also get some resource quotas and virtual space expansion, which is not bad.
Just as I was thinking about it, the first level arrived.
This is a continuous obstacle course with many stationary platforms, the short ones are about half a meter, the high ones are more than one meter, there are also horizontal ones, vertical ones, diagonal ones... In short, it can be passed by ordinary people.
, but the skills mastered are different and the passing time is also different.
…
Lu Zhixing ran leisurely. He was very calm, but everyone in the second group was sweating for him.
"What's going on on the small road? Are you running so slowly? Although the emphasis is on participation, but... it's still not good to be in last place, isn't it?"
"Why are you running and looking down at the same time? Don't be half-hearted!"
"The designers in the other groups feel prepared! All of them are in good physical condition."
"Hey, hey, Xiaolu has passed one! Okay, now it's the second to last one!"
At first, the audience in the audience thought it was an entertainment competition and didn't take it too seriously. However, after the competition officially started, they couldn't help but start comparing themselves.
These designers all ran pretty fast. After all, there was one person from each team, and everyone knew the content of the competition. Researchers who were in poor health would definitely not be embarrassed to come up and embarrass themselves.
Lu Zhixing didn't rush to take the lead as soon as he came up, and naturally fell behind. However, he also deliberately controlled his speed and did not fall too far behind.
After reaching various obstacle levels, it was time for Lu Zhixing to gradually catch up.
Most of these designers have not received professional parkour or climbing training. When faced with these obstacles, they can only pass them in a stupid way. When encountering higher obstacles, they have to climb up.
For shorter passages, you have to squat down and walk slowly.
Lu Zhixing, on the other hand, strictly followed the basic parkour moves taught by Zhong Haibin, climbing over obstacles and sliding through low passages, and unknowingly surpassed two or three contestants.
The main contestants who were watching in the preparation area were also a little surprised.
Tong Zhuo stared at Lu Zhixing's movements: "Huh? There is always something in this road. Although he uses the most basic movements, each movement is very standard and the foundation is very solid. He is a designer, how can he still learn
Parkour?"
Tong Jie seemed a little absent-minded: "Well, their company hired Zhong Haibin as a coach, and he practices parkour and rock climbing every day."
Tong Zhuo was a little surprised: "Zhong Haibin? Is it the Zhong Haibin who was originally in Yangcheng? Mr. Lu came here well prepared. In order to participate in this competition, he hired a master to do special training?"
Tong Jie shook her head: "No, as far as I know, this company started parkour and rock climbing training not long after it was established, and it lasts two hours every day. They have been practicing for at least more than a month, and there is no way they can do it temporarily.
This effect."
Tong Zhuo was even more confused: "Ah? What the hell is it that all the employees of their gaming company practice parkour and rock climbing?"
The players in other groups also looked confused.
"Ah? Can it still be like this?"
"He already knew there would be this competition?"
"It's impossible. Wasn't it decided just last week to find the designer as a guest? He didn't know it beforehand!"
Amid everyone's confusion, Lu Zhixing slowly surpassed designers one after another and gradually entered the first echelon.
Before he knew it, there were only six groups of Du Han left in front of him.
Du Han turned around and saw Lu Zhixing slowly approaching him, showing an unkind expression.
"I didn't expect you to catch up, so don't blame me for being rude!"
Du Han's physical fitness is very good, and he is determined to win this competition. Originally, Lu Zhixing fell far behind when he ran together. Du Han wanted to take first place, so he couldn't care about him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhixing slowly caught up with him.
Then there is a chance for revenge!
Although direct pulling or physical action is not allowed in this game, it is allowed by the rules to use the venue's mechanisms to hinder the players behind.
There happens to be a similar mechanism just ahead:
The left side of this level is a rock wall, and the right side is a passage composed of up and down platforms. Both routes can reach the destination above.
The rock wall route is a straight distance, but the climbing speed is obviously much slower than running. The path composed of undulating platforms is faster but requires a longer detour.
There is a special mechanism at the middle point of the platform. After pressing it, the gap between these undulating platforms will become larger. The higher platform will be higher and the lower platform will be lower.
Du Han had already reached the midpoint of the route, while Lu Zhixing had just arrived at the starting point.
"Just climb slowly!" Du Han confidently took a picture of the mechanism. The platforms behind him immediately changed, and the height difference doubled in an instant, even reaching more than one meter!
As a result, the time required to cross each platform will increase. If this route is run down, the gap between the two sides will widen.
The moment he pressed the button, Du Han felt very comfortable.
He didn't think he would lose to Lu Zhixing, but it still made him very happy to disgust him.
However, Lu Zhixing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thank you."
Du Han was a little confused, why are you thanking me? Are you afraid that you have lost your mind?
However, the next second, he saw Lu Zhixing climb directly onto the first higher platform, then step on this platform and climb up towards the artificial rock wall.
He climbed slowly but steadily. He waited for each step to be firmly grasped by his hands and firmly planted on his feet before he continued walking up.
And even in such a slow situation, he still reached the next level faster than Du Han who was running underneath.
Du Han opened the mechanism and raised the platform, which shortened the distance Lu Zhixing could climb.
Du Han: "???"
What's going on? Did I read that correctly?
Aren’t we in the amateur group? Why are there people climbing?
Everyone in Duhan was dumbfounded. This rock climbing route was obviously prepared for professional athletes, and guests like them were basically amateur athletes. It was already very difficult to complete the entire distance. How could they possibly challenge the rock climbing route?
Du Han groaned, but when he ran to the starting position of the next level, he only saw the back of Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing turned around and gave him a thumbs up: "Thank you! There are still many good people in this world."
Du Han almost vomited three liters of blood: "Who wants to help you!"
…
At this time in the real world, the audience also clearly saw this scene through holographic projection equipment and large screens.
The host was also surprised: "Oh my god! Contestant Lu Zhixing actually chose the rock climbing route! Although he climbed very slowly, he climbed very steadily without any mistakes!
"He overtook him! He went from last place all the way to first place! This is incredible!
"Huh? Why has he slowed down again? He seems to be observing the route ahead! Hurry up, the Du Han player behind is about to catch up!"
Everyone in the second group was still excited, but not long after Lu Zhixing took the lead, the speed slowed down again, and even stopped at the entrance of the next level.
The level ahead was full of various moving mechanisms. He observed carefully and didn't know what he was thinking.
Du Han ran past him with a confused look on his face and started to stumble through the barrier.
There are a lot of moving mechanisms in this level, such as widely spaced, constantly beating platforms, a large pendulum swinging around, a disc constantly rotating around the center point, etc.
This level has an optimal route. If you start running at a specific time, you can pass the entire level in one go. But if you choose the wrong time, you will have to stop in the middle, which will take longer.
But for ordinary runners, observing the optimal route itself takes time, not to mention that the actual running situation is very complicated, and it is difficult to perfectly execute the original plan. Therefore, it is better to run directly and rely entirely on on-the-spot reactions.
Outside the court, the host was so anxious that he shouted: "Hey? Player Lu Zhixing is still observing the optimal route? Stop observing, it's boring, why not just run! Player Du Han entered the level behind and had already finished a third of the way.
One!
"Player Lu Zhixing is too...too...too cautious!"
The host originally wanted to say "coward", but after holding back for a long time, he chose a relatively positive word.
The calm Lu Zhixing almost turned the entire audience into King Jiji, which was the ultimate torture.
But he still took his time and didn't start slowly until he had completely calculated the optimal route.
The host suddenly became excited: "Oh, he moved, he finally moved!"
Zhou Yiping, Wang Yang and others in the audience were a little embarrassed.
Why did Lu Zhixing inexplicably...become the center of attention?
