Interstellar era, L42 galaxy.
Su Yu is an ordinary and common person. He has a not-so-rich family and parents who love him. This is all he had when he was young. He grew up step by step, went out of school, then entered the society. He found an ordinary job and continued this ordinary life.[1]
The only big wave in his life came from the past two days.
On the way home from get off work, Su Yu met a man who was very tall, thin, and dressed very fashionably. The man saw him from a distance, his eyes suddenly lit up, then he came over with an attentive look and said the first sentence: "I have been paying attention to you for a long time."
Su Yu ignored it directly, pretending not to hear it, and walked straight past.
"Hey, wait, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant!" After the tall and thin man got excited, he also realized that his language was inappropriate, and hurriedly chased after him to explain: "I am the agent of Starlight Company, Mickan. You know Starlight Entertainment, right? I have been following you for a long time because you have a superior appearance and a moving voice. I want to ask you, do you have any idea of developing in our company?"
Mickan finished this long paragraph in one breath. Seeing that Su Yu's expression did not change, he was not moved, he added: "We can make you an interstellar superstar. By then, your fans will be all over the interstellar."
"Thank you, no need." Su Yu politely refused.
Mickan was not discouraged, and continued: "You can add me to the Star Network communication first. If you have this idea in the future, please contact me at any time."
Looking at the terminal displayed by the other party, for a moment, Su Yu had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. At the same time, in order to quickly get rid of the person in front of him, he finally added Mickan's terminal to contact.
After that, Su Yu ignored it and just regarded it as a small episode in his life.
Until today, two days later, his parents went out for interstellar travel, and he was the only one at home. It was time to rest and relax, but Su Yu heard a mechanical voice without emotion.
[Hello, I am your system No. 001.]
[I will spend the next competition time with you.]
Su Yu, who was in a light sleep, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above his head. After a moment of silence: "System?"
[Hello, contestant Su Yu.]
The reappearance of the voice confirmed that this was not an illusion. It was obviously a strange and weird scene, but Su Yu felt familiar in his heart, but he recalled carefully and had no similar memory.
"What contestant? What competition? Why and why did you appear?" Su Yu asked.
[This is a death battle royale competition, and you are a contestant seeking survie.]
[The reason and purpose of my appearance is just to help you survive and win the final victory.]
Before going deep into it, Su Yu had already glimpsed the bloodiness in just these two sentences.
The system seemed to be triggered by something, and began to forcefully introduce the background and rules of the competition. Su Yu did not say anything to refuse, but listened quietly. Under the system's explanation, he also completely understood what this 'death battle royale competition' was, just as he imagined, he could understand it literally.
This game is set in the entire interstellar space. The contestants are scattered on different planets, with noble or humble identities, all of them have the same goal, which is to do everything possible to get rid of all the contestants except themselves.
The competition will only end when the number of deaths reaches a certain standard.
"Can I quit this competition ma?" Su Yu asked without hope, as expected, he received a positive rejection answer from the system.
[If you are seriously passive in the competition , the system will warn you. After three warnings, you will be punished. Your location will be notified to all contestants. Please consider it carefully.]
Su Yu: "What help can you provide me?"
[When a contestant approaches you, I can remind you of the danger.]
Su Yu was silent for a few seconds: "Besides this, there is nothing else to do, right?" Sometimes, if you want to deal with someone, you don't need to get close to them. There are many ways to create accidents and hire killers.
[Sorry...] The system actually apologized.
"It doesn't matter." After this exchange, Su Yu was completely awake. He sat up from the bed, washed up, and the housekeeping robot brought breakfast. The ordinary morning passed like this, just like before, except that he inexplicably joined a horror competition.
Sitting on the sofa and thinking for a long time, Su Yu opened his terminal. He first searched for news about 'Starlight Entertainment'. It turned out to be a well-known interstellar entertainment company, which was called the place where dreams began by people in the circle. He was relieved, opened the contact, and called one of them.
Soon, Su Yu's contact was connected, the light screen unfolded, and a tall and thin figure appeared on the screen. It was Mickan who stopped him two days ago.
The other party asked with some surprise: "Have you thought about it ma?"
Su Yu nodded. Although he had no desire to become a star and become famous in the interstellar world, he was forced to be selected for the battle royale competition. To be honest, if it were not for this accident, he might never contact Mickan in his life.
His idea was very simple. Compared with ordinary people, of course, he was more likely to survive under the spotlight. Even if they wanted to take action, they would still have concerns... the premise of all this was to become famous.
[I didn't expect that during the competition, Su Yu would actually think about how to become famous. I really didn't expect it.]
[Hahaha, it's true. Since the start of the Interstellar Tournament, Su Yu has been like buying the annual hot topic meeting of Star Network.]
[Where did your key point go? Starlight Entertainment a! It's over, it's over, Lord Tyrant is there! If Su Yu goes, he will definitely run into him! He will be eliminated a!]
[Right o, contestants' memories are suppressed, Tyrant will not be soft on Su Yu at all!]
[If the game map was not randomly selected, I really suspect that the Star Game officials did it on purpose.]
The audience was still laughing, but when they saw the bullet screen reminder, the laughter stopped and they began to feel worried, except for the Zerg civilization audience who watched the live broadcast silently.
As a Zerg General, Lord Tyrant was the first Zerg to accept assimilation, and protecting the King was the instinct of the Zerg. No matter what, even if they lost their memories, the Zerg would not hurt the King.
On the light screen, Su Yu had already agreed with Mickan to meet at noon today.
Time passed quickly, and Su Yu arrived at the agreed place. This was a remote and quiet dessert shop with warm interior decoration, spacious and bright space, and clear simplicity at a glance. Mickan was tall and thin, it was easy to recognize. Su Yu only glanced at him and walked in one direction.
When the two met, they first had some warm and polite words, mainly Mickan talking, and Su Yu listened. When Mickan finally finished speaking, he opened the terminal without stopping and said, "I will send you the contract now. Take a look first and tell me if you have any questions."
Su Yu quickly read it and asked some of the questions he was more concerned about. Of course, the contract could not be signed casually. Mickan asked Su Yu to take it back and think about it first.
After finishing the business, Mickan and Su Yu chatted.
"Actually, there is a reason why I am so anxious. The company has invested a huge amount of money to hold a program and requires us to find new artists who meet the standards. The number is still very large..." Mickan sighed and frowned: "What else can we do? Of course we have to find a. It's not easy to meet you."
Su Yu raised his eyes and seemed very interested: "Is this program not good ma?"
"It's very good. The investment is not cheap. According to my years of work, this program is a king bomb and will definitely become popular! As long as the participating artists are strong enough, they will definitely be able to rise to the sky and become famous in the galaxy!" Speaking of his work, Mickan was no longer depressed and vowed.
Su Yu did not comment, and continued to ask: "Why do you need so many artists?"
"This..." Mickan showed a distressed look: "I am also curious. Logically speaking, the fertile water flow into others' field[2]. The young actors and singers in our company can fill the vacancies. Why do they ask us to find someone else ne?"
"I can't figure out what the people above are thinking." Mickan shook his head and ended with this sentence.
Su Yu was thoughtful. Don't know if it was because of what happened in the morning that made him a little sensitive. After listening to Mickan's words, he always felt that there was some connection between the two things.
Death Battle Royale Competition...
Looking for new artists who meet the standards...
His thoughts turned back and forth. Maybe he thought too much. The standards for artists are mostly appearance, voice and talent, and the identities of the contestants in the Battle Royale Competition are uncertain. The two are not consistent at all. In order to confirm his thoughts and to make himself feel at ease, Su Yu still asked.
"Of course, good looks and good voices are important. If there is higher abilities and talents, that would be even better... But it doesn't matter if there is not any of them. The company will train you all."
Mickan didn't stay for too long. Su Yu was resting today, but he wasn't. He was still at work today, with a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
"Su Yu, think about it carefully. Remember to contact the terminal at any time!"
After saying this last sentence, Mickan left.
Su Yu was alone in the dessert shop. After sitting quietly for a while, the service robot brought him the dessert he ordered. It had a slight fruity sweetness and tasted good. The quiet and comfortable environment was conducive to thinking.
Suddenly, he felt something staring at him.
Turning his head to look, he saw a shadow flash by in an instant.
The author has something to say:
Su Yu: Shura Field (referring to vying for favor)
Other contestants: Shura Field (referring to fighting)
