Virtual Evo Games
Top 15 Battle (Day 1)

Since the announcement of the rankings that day, social media has been very busy talking about VEG. Some are disappointed because the idol did not qualify, some blaspheme some participants, some are concerned about the ranking position that they think does not make sense.

All say so, even though each participant must have faced a strict selection and they also accept the results. There is nothing safe in terms of ranking from VEG.

Fifteen VEG participants tomorrow will follow the first round of Individual Battle.

This competition is a fight between individuals. Everyone faces missions with different zones. Just like the exercises in the simulated world, it was just that the difficulty level was higher.

The night before the game, Archie was busy in his room working on something. He was busy typing the codes in his program that he made in the operator's room at that time.

“Finally done, hopefully this can be a complement,” murmurnya.

Everything he has prepared. Starting from his avatar that has been overhauled by adding gloves, bow arrows that he wears, and also his new program. As for the program he made on the first day of training, he had not finished it.

“That's what you do later, if you get to the final round.”

It's night time, it's better to save his energy for tomorrow. While from Ann's room, he looks very agitated. He was afraid of another technical error.

“Why don't I feel good? Hopefully ga why-why,” murmured.

Virtual Evo Games. Individual Battle, Day 1

All the participants were already prepared inside the Vex Building, four hours before the match. Before the event began, the fifteen participants had already seen what order they performed.

Participants from The Waves came in second for Liam, tenth for Archie, twelfth for Aro, and Ann last appeared in the fifteenth place as well as the closing of the Individual competition.

Participants from other companies appear more prepared than them. Because they have an operator for each participant that will help them behind the monitor screen.

Operators not only help to see what is on their screen when managing code, but also as a protector for each participant if there are things that are not desirable.

“Mau gamau we have to complete the mission heavier than them, but we also have to prove that we are not defeated,” said Aro to his three colleagues.

All three nodded. They are not not insecure, but as participants inevitably have to prepare themselves if something bad happens.

The match also began. All participants wait in the waiting room of each team until called by the committee, while watching the participants who compete. The audience had already filled the building, and the commentators had also prepared.

Halfie as the first participant has completed the mission with a total of 547,977 points.

“So high?” ask Archie.

“The fighting style is good. The operator is also cooperative,” comments Aro.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door from The Waves' room. “For Liam, get ready soon yes,” said the committee. “Iya ready.”

Liam's turn to get into the real Virtual Evo Game world first. He was encouraged by all his colleagues and given various messages from Aro.

“Don't fixate on Halfie's points. Just focus on yourself,” said Aro.

“Iya, I went first yes,” Liam directly ran towards the Evopass room.

“Yaaa please be faithful Virtual Evo Game. The contestant will be from The Waves, Liam!” revo as commentator.

“Liam from the last ranking results is in fifth position. The position is quite high yes viewers, considering Liam years individual matches also entered this competition and reached eighth place. The ratings are improving quite well,” said his colleague named Daniel.

Liam exhaled and tried to calm himself. He wants to make it to the final this time. Viewed The Waves membership identification card that has become part of his life.

“Mulled everything well, Liam,” murmured Liam.

He ran into the room and immediately placed the identification card in Electronic Data Capture to open the Evopass door. He got into the machine and slowly his body disappeared from there.

Virtual Evo Game, Sahara Zone

Liam's body emerged from a portal with his avatar wearing a thin blue coat with a waist-length dongker, white collared T-shirt, and then wearing gray pants.

He appears in the sahara zone around which there is only a desert.

“Alright viewers, now Liam has been seen in the Sahara Zone. The zone can be said to be quite challenging,” Revo said.

“Pastinya will make it difficult for players because of the hot temperature of the sun is very hot yes, Bung Revo,” added Daniel.

“Iya right, it looks like Liam already looks very ready to accept what mission he will take?”

In front of Liam already seen a hologram screen containing the mission that he must take. Surely it will be more difficult than the simulation he usually faces.

“Meet Olivier in the Cactus Forest area, solve the puzzle there, and go to the Southeast to hack the defenses of Virtual Evo Game in the Sahara Zone,” said Liam while reading the writing on the hologram screen.

“Cactus Forest? Isn't that a dangerous place huh?” ann said from the waiting room.

“Dangerous or not, all depends on Liam himself. I hope he gapapa,” replied Aro.

The hologram screen disappears from before Liam, which means he must immediately begin his adventure in the real Virtual Evo Game world. Liam immediately ran towards the Cactus Forest to meet Olivier.

“It looks like there has been no problem for Liam, but as many people have said. Must remain careful, because there could be unwanted things that happen to anyone,” said Daniel.

As Liam was running, he sensed that someone was following him. A drone flew towards him with consecutive shots.

“Alright viewers, there was an attack from a K8 type drone that attacked Liam. But Liam still looks calm to run away from those shots,” Revo said.

Liam saw nothing but a sand road in front of him. He continued to run while occasionally facing backwards to shoot the K8 drone which only, no one hit the drone.

“Liam shots all miss,” said Ann who looks worried.

Liam's footsteps still did not stop, he continued to run straight ahead until the drone started attacking him from the front. He kept avoiding the shots that led to him.

Liam was exhausted enough. He jumped and spun and kicked the drone so hard that it slammed far away. He pulled out his softgun, tried to hit the target, and shot the drone down until it didn't move anymore.

Many viewers were amazed when they saw it. Aro, Ann, and Archie exhaled a sigh of relief.

“Waw... pretty good movement from Liam. We've seen it as hard as what the kick was to make the drone fall yes, Dude Daniel,” said Revo enthusiastically.

“That's right, Bung Revo. He immediately pulled out the softgun as the drone began to fall, and shot it from a considerable distance. That said, Liam as a long-range shooter that is quite potential.”

Liam regulated his breathing. “This is still not finished, Liam,” he said.
