CHAPTER 4

Competition 3 Day 1

An early morning sunrise greeted Beth and I as we arrived in knee high wildflowers. I retrieved the tablet from my vest to orientate my directions. The sun was in the south with a scattering of high clouds on the beautiful day. I spun around this starting point, noticing it was much like the others I’d seen before.

There was a light forest of yellowwoods enclosing the starting location to hide objectives in. A creek ran through the valley, not far away from where a stronghold would likely go. The spot was cozy, the kind you would have a picnic in, and hope ants weren’t around.

“Can we keep it?” Beth asked pleasantly.

“Nope, we run south and build away from the starter zone,” I said confidently, knowing that was the right decision.

She cocked an eyebrow and said, “And the roaming monsters?”

“We don’t ever go down. Well… besides -” She swatted my arm, causing me to avoid her next playful hit. “Come on, trust me,” I said.

We headed south for the trees. While I walked, I handed her the tablet.

“And this amazing plan of yours? Why do I think I’m going to hate it,” Beth said, teasing.

“Look, if we get a tiny defender to surrender, then awesome. That puts us in an instant build mode without a key useful person going down, which I was getting around to.”

“I want you to go down for so long you need gills,” Beth jested, and I scrunched my face.

“Where did you hear that?”

“That was what I gleaned from walking in on Cecilia relaxing in the hot tub with her eyes closed. I thought she was sleep-talking, so imagine my surprise when my foot hit Zhang underwater,” she said, giggling in recollection.

We crossed the stream, heading for the trees.

“Too funny. Good times.” There was a long happy sigh. “That hot tub needs to be drained and burned before refilling. Hey, build two mining picks real quick,” I said, and she frowned.

“That eats up all our metal. It’ll mean no rusty sword from the barracks and no iron sword when the blacksmith comes up,” Beth said, and I shrugged.

“I can fight with a pick, if you want a spear, spawn a spear.”

When I heard her pause behind me, I waited. A mining pick and a spear populated on the field of grass.

I grabbed my starter weapon of choice and asked, “Are the inventory numbers looking correct? They were at half numbers last event.”

She caught up to walk at my side as we entered the trees. “Yeah, I think we're in the exact same scenario as in Noobi, just a touch bigger map.”

“Great, I was a bit peeved I never got to see the big epic 4x battles. Well besides Peak City and even that was a steamroll.”

The tablet buzzed. Beth pointed to the left, saying, “Umm… an animal farm and not sure on the defender. Noted as tiny.”

I walked in the direction she indicated. “I think Senna would hate this idea,” Beth said. “And for the record, the safe play is to at least get the stronghold built.
