When the final route was announced, many people were speculating as to why Qiancheng specifically asked these players to come to Xiao Taohong to check in and take photos when they had already decided to let their own gang supervise the players one-on-one.
The more we discuss it, the more outrageous the speculations about this matter become. Some people even assert that there is definitely a big article in it, and Qiancheng will reveal it when the schedule reaches this point.
In fact, the operation of asking players to check in with Xiao Taohong is really... nothing to say. If I had to find a reason, it would be that Fang Yun had a bad taste in his heart, which made everyone not forget to go to Liuxiang Pavilion to find his sister to cultivate their sentiments while they were busy.
Soon, as Daai Pipixia entered the Liuxiang Pavilion with the Qiancheng trumpet, he looked up and saw that the first floor of the small building was already occupied by a large number of curious players.
"I'm coming!"
"Eh??"
"I love Pipi shrimp? Who is this guy?"
"I remember that when we first started, the people in the lead were still the same people from the sunset. Why did the ranking change suddenly?"
"It must have been delayed by the other side of the arena. This Pi Pi Xi is very lucky. He escaped from those bitches so quickly." Looking at the big love Pi Pi Xi who was the first to step into the Liuxiang Pavilion, The players who had been waiting here for a long time were all stunned. They never expected that the first one to break out of the ring would be such an unknown trumpet.
However, their surprise did not last long. After a few casual discussions, these people immediately changed the topic to the trumpet of Fang Yun who was following behind Daai Pipixia.
"Brother Supervisor, can you tell us why Brother Cheng asked the players to come to Xiao Taohong to check in? Is there something behind this?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Cheng has always been very rigorous in organizing events. Since he requires the players to come to Xiao Taohong to check in during the competition, does that mean that this link is related to the final results?"
"If you ask me, don't embarrass the supervisor. If you have any questions, why don't you just ask Brother Cheng in the world? How can a supervisor know so much?"
"I asked! Brother Cheng never replied. It's probably because there are too many people talking in the world and he didn't see it."
"Supervisor, please say a few words. I really won't be able to sleep at night if I don't understand this issue!"
"That's it, just say a few words to the supervisor, just a few words!" One by one, they surrounded Big Love Pippi Shrimp and Fang Yun's trumpet in the center. These players talked all over and kept insinuating Fang Yun, trying to find out more. Let’s take a look at the profound meaning of this little peach check-in session.
Facing everyone's inquiries, Fang Yun was a little confused for a moment. If he had said that this was just a silly prank, would he have been beaten to death by these excited crowds?
After thinking about it, while Pipi Xia was punching in, he put his hand on the keyboard and typed quickly: "Ahem... Since you want me to say a few words, I will say a few words. I thought about it and said Which sentences... then let's say these few sentences! Then I believe that these few sentences are better than those few sentences, so today, I will say these few sentences first. So if you feel that these few sentences This sentence is not comprehensive enough, you can also add a few more sentences for me..." After a lot of words, all the players gathered in Liuxiang Pavilion were confused. At the same time, the big love Pipi Shrimp finally completed the check-in, Immediately, before everyone could react, he took Fang Yun and quickly left this place of right and wrong.
It wasn't until the two of them walked away that the players in Liuxiang Pavilion gradually came to their senses.
"That guy...what did he just say?"
"It seems I said it, but it seems I didn't say it..."
"No...he just uses us to play cymbals!"
"So in the end we didn't find out what the connection was between Xiao Taohong's check-in and the game result?"
"Damn it, I should have known that I would go to the ring to block these two grandsons. It's so fucking annoying!" Realizing that he was most likely being tricked by the supervisor called 'Long Lost Dad', he squatted in Liuxiang Pavilion for a long time. Just for the players waiting for an answer to break their defenses instantly.
If it weren't for the fact that Chang'an couldn't kill people, I'm afraid these two people wouldn't be able to get to the next check-in area, and they would be torn into pieces by the angry onlookers!
Fang Yun, who had just run away after pretending to be cool, now hung up his trumpet among Pipi Xia's team, looking quite comfortable.
Although the level of Big Love Pipi Shrimp is not high, his attitude towards this game is quite serious. Not only that, he also understands the rules quite well. Many times he will consciously pause after arriving at places where there is no need to pause, to ensure that his supervisor sees that he has completed the task before rushing to the next check-in. point.
This is also the reason why he was half a step behind the first tier at the beginning of the game. For such a player who respects the rules and is strict with himself, if it weren't for ensuring the fairness of the competition, Fang Yun would have wanted to give him a backdoor to become the default champion.
Because Pipi Xia abides by the rules very much, Fang Yun's workload is greatly reduced, as he needs to fight on two fronts. He only needs to ensure that every check-in place the opponent passes by, and he can be busy with Qiancheng's things at other times.
Fortunately, due to the sudden burst of luck when passing through the ring, Pipi Xia has become an out-and-out marathon leader at this time.
Other contestants were either still struggling in the quagmire-like arena, or had just broken free and rushed to the next check-in point. However, Pipixia had already arrived at the Festival Gift Messenger and was about to start the final sprint around Chang'an.
Seeing Da Ai Pi Pi Xia getting more and more excited as he ran, Fang Yun, who had finally finished his work in Qiancheng, couldn't help but rub his hands, looking forward to what the other party would do when he learned about the location of the second half of the journey. reaction.
In this way, following Pipixia, the two passed by the holiday gift messenger, Vice General Ma, and the Imperial College, and finally arrived at the Chang'an rooftop, the end point of the first half of the final!
As soon as he arrived on the rooftop, Daai Pipixia glanced behind him subconsciously. After confirming that no other contestants had caught up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a group of onlookers who followed the two people throughout the process looked excited. Will the mysterious second half of the challenge finally be revealed?
But at this moment, Daai Pipixia suddenly found that a prompt popped up in front of his screen - his long-lost father gave you a guide flag. When he saw his supervisor suddenly threw a guide flag to him, Daai Pipi Xia was stunned for a moment and was about to ask a question when the supervisor spoke first.
"Please note the runners, the coordinates of the guide flag are the location of the second half of the marathon challenge, the side entrance of the Chang'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda." First, the team informed the runners of the location of the second half of the challenge, followed by the square. Yun continued typing: "The content of this challenge is very simple. The contestants need to enter the tower by themselves by transmitting the coordinate position, starting from the first floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and going all the way up, and finally reaching the real end point of this marathon, the seventh floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda!"
"It should be noted that for the sake of fairness and justice in the competition, players are temporarily not allowed to perform teleportation operations. They need to wait for the supervisor's signal. Only after the signal appears can players officially start the challenge!"
"Players please rest assured that the supervisor will record the time when each player reaches the end of the first half of the race. The referee team will finally make a unified settlement after the game is completely over. The players will never be allowed to wait in vain for a second!" He said this in one breath! The rules of this challenge were completely announced, and Fang Yun himself finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why Pipi Xia is not allowed to start the second half of the challenge immediately after reaching the end of the first half is naturally because he needs to wait for a suitable opportunity.
As we all know, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is full of bright thunder monsters. After the monsters are cleared, they cannot be refreshed in a short period of time.
This will lead to a situation, that is, if someone clears all the bright thunder monsters from t1 to t6 in advance, people coming later will have no monsters to brush.
This situation is naturally extremely disadvantageous for players who need to sweep towers to upgrade and train their babies, but for players in this challenge, this is equivalent to changing directly from hell mode to simple mode.
Therefore, in order to increase the fun and fairness of the game, he must ensure that the tower is full of monsters when players challenge.
The monsters in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are refreshed every 10 minutes. In other words, after reaching the finish line, players only need to wait 10 minutes before they can challenge the Big Wild Goose Pagoda full of monsters!
The waiting time of the players will naturally be calculated into the final results. Even if someone rushes to t7 first, if the time is wrong, it is impossible to win the championship.
As for the reason why players are not allowed to teleport in advance, it is even simpler. You must know that these players are followed by many players along the way. If they run directly into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in front of these players, the entire Bianliang City will immediately know the final location of the challenge, and there will definitely be people in the tower by then. There are more situations than monsters.
Of course, he also knew that this was of little significance. Once the challenge began, it would be impossible to hide the matter. All he could do was delay the exposure as late as possible.
Fang Yun was always staring at the time over there, waiting for the next round of monsters in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to be refreshed. At this time, after reading the rules of the challenge, Daai Pipixia was completely dumbfounded.
He knew that the second half of the challenge would never be easy, but he didn't expect that this challenge would actually require him to climb a tower!
You must know that at this time, most of the players in Bianliang City were attracted by the activities held by Qiancheng, and they all ran to join in the fun.
This has resulted in many popular monster spawning spots now experiencing the least amount of traffic, such as the Chang'an Wild Goose Pagoda.
It’s time to climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and climb from the first floor to the seventh floor. With the density of monsters, who knows what unpredictable accidents will happen by then.
As for calling relatives and friends to come over and help you get out of trouble... don't make trouble. If you are not careful, you will very likely make wedding clothes for others. As long as you are in your right mind, no one will do it.
At this time, Big Love Pipi Xia was on the verge of tears. He thought that he finally won the first place in the first half of the race, but he still had to stay there and wait for others to join him in the second half of the tower climbing challenge?
In just this moment, two more players have arrived at Chang'an rooftop. When the two players arrived on the rooftop and saw Pipi Xia's ID, they were obviously stunned. They couldn't figure out why the opponent chose to wait where they were despite being so far ahead of them.
However, they soon learned the ins and outs through the supervisors in their own team, and immediately joined the Pippi Shrimp army, each and every one of them mentally squirted Qiancheng, the one who had suffered a thousand cuts, to a bloody pulp!
Behind these two contestants, there were several contestants rushing towards the rooftop. Seeing this scene, the big fan Pippi's eyelids jumped wildly, and he only had one thought in his mind - it's over, it's all over!
Climbing the tower alone and climbing the tower with a group of people are two completely different situations. No matter how many monsters there are when climbing the tower alone, as long as you come early, you will always be one step ahead of others.
But according to the rules, they obviously have to gather a group of people to start together. This is equivalent to freezing their results in the first half of the race, and then standing on the same starting line again in the second half of the race for the final championship!
The only thing that makes Pipi Xia, the leader in the first half of the race, feel better is that the final results will include their first half results. Even if the speed of climbing the tower in the second half is slower than others, as long as the total time is shorter, They also get grades more easily.
After more and more contestants suddenly stopped collectively after arriving on the rooftop, the surrounding onlookers finally realized something was wrong.
"What's going on? I remember there was still the second half of this marathon. Why did all these runners stop?"
"Yeah, I was waiting to see where they were going in the second half of the journey, but one by one suddenly stopped moving."
"Isn't this the end of it?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Since Brother Cheng said there is a second half, there must be one!"
“It’s almost time to announce the format for the second half of the competition, right? Brother Cheng?”
"Yes, yes! Announce it soon, brothers can't wait!" Looking at the increasingly impatient crowd around him, Fang Yun, who was hanging in the Pipi Shrimp team with a trumpet, remained indifferent, watching more and more people The players who rushed to the rooftop could no longer hide the smiles on their lips.
He already had a premonition of how 'exciting' the Big Wild Goose Pagoda would be later. In order to formulate the rules for this marathon, he lost countless hairs.
Now that the competition has finally officially come to the final Big Wild Goose Pagoda Challenge, if the players are not allowed to suffer, it will be in vain.
In this way, the onlookers became more and more anxious because Qian Cheng never showed up to announce the second half of the competition, and the players who had already arrived on the rooftop were gradually becoming nervous as time passed.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda Challenge is already the final stage of the Chang'an Marathon. If they perform well, the runners who were originally lagging behind will most likely complete a counterattack and win the first mythical beast Super Baize in Bianliang City on the first day of the Lunar New Year!
At the same time, Fang Yun, who had already been waiting at the teleportation point t6-t7, glanced at it. After discovering that a group of monsters had suddenly appeared in t6 that he had cleared out, he immediately informed all the supervisors through voice.
While notifying the supervisor, he also came to the trumpet and quickly typed in the team: "Monsters have been refreshed, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Challenge has officially begun!"
