Chapter 644: Viewing From All Directions
They dispersed the flight cameras automatically throughout all corners of the compet.i.tion 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 partic.i.p.ants.
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 compet.i.tion venue to ensure they would miss nothing.
Also, to deny partic.i.p.ants 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 astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
Those who were up to such a task weren’t ordinary people.
The compet.i.tion formally began at 3 pm UK time.
And it would end at 3 pm the next day.
Although this was the case for the compet.i.tors, 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 compet.i.tors, however, didn’t enjoy such luxury.
On the gra.s.sy 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 gra.s.sy 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 compet.i.tors on their ability to adjust to changing circ.u.mstances.
When the compet.i.tion started, Gu Qingjiu could see many compet.i.tors’ back views on the big screen.
From what she knew, over thirty countries took part in the compet.i.tion this time around.
There were more than a hundred partic.i.p.ants.
It was why the compet.i.tion venue was huge. With the divided scenes and so many partic.i.p.ants, these officials’ eyes were kept busy.
The point system differed from the usual. How they tallied the points in the international shooting compet.i.tion was a little disgusting.
Every country would start from zero, and three people from each country could take part.
When a country’s partic.i.p.ant defeated another partic.i.p.ant, 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 compet.i.tion.
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 partic.i.p.ant would obtain half of the eliminated player’s acc.u.mulated points.
It resulted in the many possibilities on the battlefield in terms of points acc.u.mulation. 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 acc.u.mulated points, s.h.i.+fting 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 compet.i.tion started, the first person Gu Qingjiu placed her attention on wasn’t Yin Ruoyi, but Cruff.
