Chapter 229 Like Water
Chapter 229 Like Water
Unable to watch the match between Zero and Panda, Chu Deng was forced to disconnect from the internet and had a leisurely day of rest. He then put on his holographic helmet promptly at 8 p.m. for the third match.
[The third match: Lighthouse vs. Panda, Like Water Clock Tower.]
When Nuwa announced the competition venue, the audience erupted in an uproar.
"It's this map? This is interesting!"
"I had something come up yesterday, who won again?"
"Zero Degree won. Panda's defense was broken by Zero Degree. Plus, the map is the extreme cold hell. Zero Degree is a bit lucky."
"The Lighthouse is at a disadvantage on this map. What if the Lighthouse loses this match, and all three of them have one win and one loss?"
"Who knows? They'll probably choose someone from other sources. The Lighthouse might not necessarily lose!"
While the discussion was in full swing, Chu Deng didn't immediately enter the map. Instead, Nuwa forced her to watch a map explanation video.
The enormous clock tower seemed to reach the heavens, with an ancient bell incongruously mounted on its top. The clock tower had dials on all four sides, and the golden hands were joined together, indicating twelve o'clock. As the hands began to move, two stick figures suddenly appeared and started fighting.
Chu Deng blinked, knowing it must be some special game. While watching the two stick figures, one blue and one red, fight, she observed her surroundings.
At 12:03, suddenly, the ancient bell at the top of the clock tower started moving automatically without any wind.
"Boom-"
The long, drawn-out chime rang out once, and Chu Deng, with his sharp eyes, saw that the minute hand on the clock face on the clock tower suddenly started moving backward at high speed, returning to 12:02. At the same time, as the minute hand moved backward, the two fighting stick figures flashed back to their state one minute earlier.
Just as the red stick figure was about to attack the blue stick figure's head, their states instantly reverted to a minute earlier, with the red stick figure being kicked away by the blue stick figure.
Chu Deng opened her eyes wide and carefully considered the name of the map—Like Water Clock Tower.
Time flows like water, but in this picture, time rewinds by a few minutes for every few chimes of the bell, leaving the two fighters only a short time to think about how to respond.
Situations that are completely impossible in reality can be explored in many more ways online.
This map tests the ability of superhumans to react quickly, and they must remain calm even in life-or-death battles.
It seems that they went back in time and foresaw their opponent's moves, but their opponent also knew everything that would happen afterward. Although the two of them had returned to the past, they were creating new possibilities.
Chu Deng curled the corners of her lips and laughed. This map was too interesting.
When Nuwa asked if they wanted to enter the map, Chu Deng nodded and replied, "Yes."
A flash of light appeared before Chu Deng's eyes, and she entered the Watery Clock Tower, standing on the roof of a building in the southeast of the tower. Panda, who had been waiting for a long time, entered the map at the same time. The two of them looked at the clock tower dial at the same time and silently noted the start time - 8:03:52.
The pandas lost their last game, so their attacking intent is even stronger this time.
He rushed towards Chu Deng first, leaping from rooftop to rooftop. Chu Deng didn't move, waiting in place, silently memorizing his location.
At 3 minutes and 56 seconds, west side of Building 13; at 3 minutes and 59 seconds, east side of Building 14; at 4 minutes and 5 seconds, south side of Building 16...
On this map, apart from the clock tower in the center, all other tall buildings are marked with numbers, which is truly a test of memory.
