Novel Full Chapter 644: Viewing From All Directions
They dispersed the flight cameras automatically throughout all corners of the competition venue.
This camera was a newly developed model that allowed one to film silently.
One could zoom in to film the players from a distance away to prevent distracting them.
These players’ combined abilities were pretty strong on this international battlefield, especially with a sharpshooter’s acute senses.
If the camera were too near, it would affect the participants.
Of course, such cameras were extremely expensive.
Though it was of a small build, one camera would cost more than a million yuan.
They dispersed several hundred of these cameras throughout the competition venue to ensure they would miss nothing.
Also, to deny participants the opportunity to cheat.
Personnel from various countries monitored the staff operating these cameras. Someone couldn’t possibly attempt to cheat under everyone’s scrutinizing gazes.
They would precisely change the scenes and try their best to feature the most important players and interesting scenes on the large screen.
Such a task was a great test of the operators’ response abilities. Because they had to broadcast the battle in real-time, they had to do the task with astonishing speed.
Those who were up to such a task weren’t ordinary people.
The competition formally began at 3 pm UK time.
And it would end at 3 pm the next day.
Although this was the case for the competitors, these officials wouldn’t be able to last for that long, so basically, they would switch out for another batch or leave mid-way, and after getting some rest, they would come back and continue watching.
The competitors, however, didn’t enjoy such luxury.
On the grassy plains, they had to overcome the difficulty of having no food, and at the same time, remain guarded against opponent attacks.
Since a low-lying environment surrounded this expanse of grassy plains, one could easily see what was going on in the distance.
However, the advantage was that there were bountiful plants and farms around.
Such an environment tested competitors on their ability to adjust to changing circumstances.
When the competition started, Gu Qingjiu could see many competitors’ back views on the big screen.
From what she knew, over thirty countries took part in the competition this time around.
There were more than a hundred participants.
It was why the competition venue was huge. With the divided scenes and so many participants, these officials’ eyes were kept busy.
The point system differed from the usual. How they tallied the points in the international shooting competition was a little disgusting.
Every country would start from zero, and three people from each country could take part.
When a country’s participant defeated another participant, the points given would follow the part of the body hit.
If they hit vital parts—the opponent’s forehead or heart—they would earn five points. Of course, they wouldn’t be using real bullets in the competition.
Regarding the four limbs and torso, if they hit the parts with smaller surface area, such as the back of hands or soles, one would earn three points. As for larger surfaces like the waist, they would receive one point.
These were the only three methods of calculation. Only when one was not discovered could they hit the opponent’s vital parts on such a battlefield.
Because everyone was an elite from their country, their response and speeds were of a certain standard.
What they were genuinely competing on were other areas—such as their control of the venue, like in the case of Cruff.
Once a person eliminates an opponent, this participant would obtain half of the eliminated player’s accumulated points.
It resulted in the many possibilities on the battlefield in terms of points accumulation. The rankings would also undergo a rollercoaster ride.
Unless the difference was extremely huge, it was possible that a player’s elimination could cause the drastic change of another country’s accumulated points, shifting this country from the bottom to the top in the rankings.
It was a great test of the officials’ hearts’ ability to withstand volatile changes.
When the competition started, the first person Gu Qingjiu placed her attention on wasn’t Yin Ruoyi, but Cruff.
