The modeling stretch issue not only caused a chaotic brawl on the arena but also indirectly created chaos under the arena.
Huan Yue and the viewers in the live broadcast room witnessed the whole thing.
Soon, a bunch of 'fantastic ideas' emerged:
"The rules forbid bringing weapons onto the arena, but it doesn't seem to forbid obtaining weapons during the match?"
"Huan Yue, you try it! You go on stage, and I'll throw you a knife from below!"
"Forget that effort! You go on stage to fight, and after it starts, I'll rush up and take down your opponent!"
......
Mansheng City prohibits the use of firearms, but there aren't many restrictions on cold weapons.
— Only, you'll be pursued by the Public Security Bureau after you attack someone and cause harm.
Huan Yue no longer had any thoughts about the ranking, but he was really a little curious about what would happen if he operated like this, so he called on the Brave Sniper to help.
He came to the 68th floor and stepped onto the arena.
The audience was surrounded by a dense crowd of onlookers, and the Brave Sniper was sitting in the front row, with an ordinary knife in his arms.
— Sold in Mansheng City weapon shops, unremarkable, worth 45 credit points.
After the referee announced the start of the match, the Brave Sniper immediately took out the knife and threw it to Huan Yue on the arena.
At the moment the knife was thrown, the viewers were expectant, the neutral audience was surprised, and the opponent was shocked and angry.
Pairs of eyes filled with various emotions stared intently at the knife, watching it draw a beautiful parabola across the arena boundary and fly towards Huan Yue.
But the next second, a big face appeared in everyone's sight.
That referee, who always only said a few fixed lines, had a wooden face with no second expression, and ignored anyone who talked to him, and was regarded by everyone as a pure tool person.
Suddenly jumped up, grabbed the knife and threw it back off the stage!
The knife accurately hit the Brave Sniper in the face.
"?"
The Brave Sniper took the knife off his face. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the referee in a suit leap out of the arena and pounce on him, knocking him to the ground.
The surrounding audience was in an uproar, and they all moved away, clearing space for them.
The referee pinned the Brave Sniper to the ground without explanation, with his arms twisted behind his back and his calves pulled back.
"Next time, before throwing weapons onto the arena, think about now."
The Brave Sniper was lying on the ground, his hands and feet twisted and cuffed together, twisting his body trying to turn over, but he couldn't turn over no matter what.
— Of course, this is his character's image.
The person himself doesn't look so miserable, but through the somatosensory synchronization suit, he can also feel the pain in his joints.
And being watched by so many people, a social death is inevitable!
The tactical purpose was not achieved at all, and even had the opposite effect—
Huan Yue looked in shock at the Brave Sniper being subdued on the ground by the referee, completely forgetting that he was still on the arena, and was seized by the opponent and beaten violently on the ground.
On and off the stage, they became a pair of unfortunate brothers.
But in comparison, the Brave Sniper was a little more miserable—
Huan Yue had already lost the match and left the stage, but his character was still bound on the ground by handcuffs.
It wasn't until 15 minutes later that the handcuffs lost their effect and opened themselves.
The Brave Sniper finally regained control of his character.
Huan Yue apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, I didn't expect the referee to pull such a stunt."
But the first thing the Brave Sniper said was: "Call for backup!"
"?" Huan Yue was stunned for a moment, "Call for backup for what?"
"Of course, to hold down this referee, find the handcuffs and cuff him!"
The Brave Sniper was very angry!
How could a dignified player be bullied by an NPC?
He must use his own methods to treat him!
"Brothers, let's team up! Those who are free, DM me with a 1 to join the group!"
There is never a shortage of bored netizens.
The Brave Sniper easily pulled together a 50-person team, and soon everyone gathered on this floor.
With a command from the Brave Sniper, everyone waved their knives, guns, sticks, and clubs, and swarmed towards the referee!
But the referee remained calm.
His fists collided, making a metallic sound!
Hearing this sound, the Brave Sniper had a bad feeling in his heart.
The next second, this iron fist hit him in the stomach!
The force of this blow, even with the sensitivity of the somatosensory synchronization suit turned down to 40%, made his muscles twitch, and he almost vomited from this punch!
He knelt on the ground on the spot, losing the ability to fight again.
The referee in a suit stepped over him, unleashing a flurry of fists and kicks, starting an unstoppable rampage!
Every punch and every kick could knock down a player—occasionally, a unlucky player would trigger a critical hit and be kicked out of the crowd.
Amidst the sounds of bangs and crashes, the players' characters fell one after another.
After all the characters had fallen, the referee started to take out handcuffs from his four-dimensional lower back.
One pair after another, seemingly without end.
In the end, he actually took out 50 pairs of handcuffs in a row!
Every player in the team, without exception, was cuffed hand and foot and tied to the ground.
Finally, the referee stood up among the fallen players, patted the dust off his body, and said:
"Next time, before attacking the referee, think about now."
"You son of a bitch!!" The Brave Sniper was furious.
But there was nothing he could do about this referee.
He could only lie on the ground with 49 teammates, waiting for the handcuffs' effective time to pass, while being watched by tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room.
15 minutes later, the handcuffs lost their effect.
His character stood up again.
But he didn't mention finding a venue again.
Instead, he said, "It's getting late," and hurriedly went offline and disappeared.
In the blacked-out live broadcast room, a pile of "Hahahaha" barrage of laughter immediately popped up.
......
The Brave Sniper and Huan Yue were not the only unlucky ones.
At the same time, there were many, many more people sanctioned by the referee.
Nan Shan's use of hardware vulnerabilities to fight inspired everyone's new understanding of "unrestricted" fighting.
One by one, they became bolder and began to come up with all kinds of strange tricks—
Some wanted to rush onto the arena.
Some attacked their friend's opponent from below the stage.
Some used verbal interference.
Some just stood on the edge of the arena, tossing a knife up and down, pretending to throw it.
Some even held a hand grenade, constantly pulling and inserting the safety pin.
......
In order to inflict physical and mental attacks on their opponents in the arena, they tried everything!
But in the end.
All of these people, without exception, encountered the referee's iron fists and binding sanctions!
They were tied up like crabs, regretting and begging for mercy on the ground.
Xu Meng was very satisfied with this.
After watching a few more matches, she went to bed on time.
— Players mostly found the problem of abnormal modeling stretching to be quite interesting. For the time being, the mentality of watching the fun far outweighed the complaints.
In addition, this problem was a bit complicated, and it couldn't be solved by simply changing a few lines of code, so Xu Meng didn't rush to work overtime.
She just recorded the matter and started to solve it after going to work the next day.
After a night of brewing, the strength of the 60 specially invited boxers in the first night of the [Climbing Tower Grand Prix] was basically exposed.
20 professional boxers and former professional boxers were hardly affected by the chaos in the lower levels.
— Even if they encountered an opponent with flying fists, they could agilely dodge the attack and quickly get close to defeat the opponent.
One by one, they quickly rushed past the 50th floor.
Overnight, the lowest one also rushed to the 62nd floor.
The situation of the 40 Kung Fu and fighting influencers was more complicated.
Among them, the few who climbed the fastest rushed to the 70th floor overnight, almost on par with professional boxers.
And the worst few couldn't even get to the 30th floor.
They would be beaten violently by passerby players!
In the video, Sheng Yingyi, the "Tai Chi Master" who could instantly push more than a dozen people away by himself and had once defeated the American black boxing champion in a 1-on-1 battle, was beaten violently by a slender passerby player in the first match!
And her counterattack was about as effective as tickling.
The opponent's health bar hardly moved at all.
This caused the opponent to be too lazy to move his feet even once, and stand in place to defeat her, this "elite monster"—or more accurately, it should be a "rare monster."
There was an uproar off the stage.
Of course, it was mainly the media and overseas players who were in an uproar.
Domestic players just laughed wildly.
There were several other purely freeloaders like Sheng Yingyi, whose common characteristics were that they were older and their promotional videos were seriously exaggerated.
That night, all of them had their fig leaves torn off in front of the whole world.
But they couldn't turn around and leave.
The contract that Zhuzhu had signed with them had a minimum number of appearances required.
— After all, Zhuzhu had paid the appearance fee.
After they gritted their teeth and fought a few matches, and their faces were completely lost, they received one phone call after another as soon as they returned to the hotel.
The disciples came to them one after another, demanding a refund.
They refused to admit it and refused to refund the money.
The cheated disciples had no choice but to call the police station.
Ningzhou police were extremely efficient. Before the night was over, they found them in the hotel that night.
One by one, all of these people were taken to the police station for questioning.
None of them were able to go online the next day.
With their selfless help, the [Sky Arena Climbing Tower Grand Prix] successfully appeared on television and newspapers all over the country on the first day.
The impact was not insignificant.
The only problem was that the column was not quite right—
This news appeared on the legal program.
