The League Cup game is indeed a grand gathering for players in the virtual world, but it is not so attractive for people like Duan Qing. In addition to some reasons about himself, his level and Three years away from gaming were key factors that influenced him to participate. If he really wants to participate in the game, even if he doesn't care about these things, his teammates will probably care about it. Although he has played until now, he doesn't know which teammates are suitable to participate in the game.
Nantieshan can be counted as one, but... they should have their own team.
Although having good teammates is very important, the acquisition and preparation of weapons, equipment and other consumable items is also very important. For example, the necklace Duan Qing just obtained a few days ago is an item that has nothing to do with the game. It may not be used in a hundred games, so if you want to be fully prepared, such a thing must at least be used. It’s only decent to prepare five or six items, and the same goes for other things. At this point, large forces such as teams and guilds undoubtedly have unparalleled advantages. Not to mention weapons, equipment and personnel, even the inlaid gems, attached magic, and potions that need to be drank in battle are all prepared in complete sets. Yes, individual players may be able to compete with them in terms of strength, but in the face of the powerful materials and support gathered by countless members, they can only feel helpless and resigned.
As for Duan Qing... He can't even tell what types of ordinary enchantments there are. He did get a gem for inlaying, but judging from the description above, it was just a stone that increased the durability of the equipment. It didn't seem to have anything much to do with it. Great use.
"Sigh... It took me so long, how could I make it up so quickly?"
Duan Qing sighed and looked to the northeast, which was the direction of Tania City, the capital of the principality.
The major events involved in the UEFA Cup are generally held in relevant venues in related games. On the one hand, it can save time and effort, and on the other hand, it allows players to resolve battles directly at the home court of the game world without leaving their own games. However, Free World, an inhumane game, did not design such a place from the beginning for players to compete in it. Instead, it increased the burden of hosting the game. Fortunately, the studio where Christo worked during his lifetime had promised to the alliance. However, they will open up an independent space specifically for players to participate in the competition, which can be regarded as solving the problem to a certain extent, and even added a lot of humane content unexpectedly, and the first point among them is, This means that players can communicate across thousands of miles in the competition space, which is commonly known as secret chat.
Although that thing is actually just plugging the friend communication that comes with the account into the game.
It is very simple for players, including spectators, to enter that competition area because it is parallel to the entrance to the free world game. Players only need to exit the game and then choose to enter the alliance temporarily on the free world character screen. Just open the "League Cup" entrance. The basic settings of the world there are exactly the same as those in the free world. The only differences are probably the venues that are completely in line with the modern style, and...the old perverts of the league designed the playing venues and rules themselves. .
Of course, these venues are currently shared by everyone - because there are too many people participating in the competition, the individual competition in the free world project that has just started is still in the audition stage, and the competitions that everyone participates in are also In a one-on-one knockout match, although the scene is random and the taking of potions is not prohibited, the scenes and settings that originally belong to the free world make these things that could widen the gap extremely small, and even have the opposite effect. Effect. On the first day of the competition, countless members of the major guilds overturned and fell on the first step of the League Cup journey. On the third day of the audition stage, the professional players finally The first person to be overturned - Xingyingxing from Wings of Freedom, died at the hands of an unknown civilian player in a scene called "Gorlons Desert".
Wings of Freedom’s net-casting tactics finally encountered Waterloo under such new regulations.
"This time Free Flying... selected more people to participate in the competition."
This is the message a woman with the ID name Xueling Huanbing left to Duan Qing when she was offline: "Even if their strength is worse, logically they should be better than civilian players, so according to his... our estimation, At the end of the audition, our Wings of Freedom people should be able to occupy more than one-third of all the quotas. If we are lucky, we can reach half. This will not only eliminate unstable factors, but also provide more opportunities in subsequent competitions. The opponent causes trouble to increase our chances of winning.”
"But judging from the current situation...such an effect may be difficult to achieve."
A few more minutes passed before the message appeared, followed by her final words: "No matter what, I will persevere... and take my people with me to persevere."
"It's not so much that the people in the alliance can deal with your hooligan tactics without changing the rules. It's better to say... you underestimated the power of the masses." He shook his head and whispered this judgment, and Duan Qing also left a few words. :"Looking forward to your good news."
Then he opened the web page and started browsing news and information about the cup.
Perhaps due to the high popularity and unique settings of Free World, more people participated in this year's League Cup than ever before, and most of them came for the game Free World. At the same time, it also surprised many well-known researchers and experts, and then they all turned their attention to this game that was unfriendly from the beginning. However, after a brief misfire, they were experienced and quickly analyzed some factors leading to the current situation from the settings of the game and the performance of the players in the game. One of the important ones mentioned by many people On the one hand, it is the setting of combat in the free world.
"The simplification of skills determines that players must have a considerable and systematic understanding of the skills they have learned, and the setting of the physical strength bar does not allow them to make mistakes in combat." This is a famous virtual game The original words of researcher Wang Zemin are also the most incisive summary of the views generally recognized by everyone. Wang Jianhunling, who once belonged to the Sword of Justice and has now retired and turned to be an entertainment player, also left a sentence on his social platform: "Is this kind of thing very rare in the free world? A little bit If you’re not careful... you’ll be dead.”
However, these contents are just a few drops in the ocean of player talk. The public's eyes are still focused on the game itself.
"I want to ask for advice: How did the little Texas rider understand the flying kick that he used yesterday?"
"Put a post as proof! Arashiyama will be the champion of this year."
"On the non-necessity of the Shield Warrior in the game - illustrated by the battles of Pineapple Marshmallow and others."
"I bet on the wrong side again, what should I do? Wait online."
"Mama, why are the skills of Jianghu people different from what I learned?"
"What are the people in these teams doing?"
Well...their focus is still very broad.
After turning over a few pages silently, Duan Qing slowly shook his head - the advantages of the team's professional players and sporadic masters in the free world have been reduced, so some of their performances cannot be understood by the audience. But if they continue like this and don't make any changes, it will be a matter of time before they are kicked off.
Well... maybe they are hiding something, or maybe they are mistaken, or maybe... they haven't fully understood the setting of the free world. Although everyone has discovered a lot of incredible equipment, in this game Obviously there are still a few more secrets... ugh.
That old thief Krystal.
These are the eight words that always come to Duan Qing's mind whenever he thinks about this aspect. He smiled bitterly, then moved his fingers together and turned to the page of the competition column. All the footage from the game is kept there for those who want to study it or who missed the game. Although resources are limited and the official only provides a God's perspective, it is enough for people like Duan Qing. As his finger moved across the screen, the picture in front of him flashed like crystal, and then a huge list appeared. Floating at the top, the column that was still growing now read: The words "Little oil seller VS star movie star".
"Another one is famous..." Duan Qing chuckled, ignoring the search bar next to him, casually scrolling down the list, and then according to his fate, he randomly opened a video that was relatively popular. After a period of quiet waiting, the scene displayed on the screen was the Talon Avenue that Duan Qing had passed through when he went to Tania City. Two players appeared one after another on both sides of the wide stone pavement, and then followed a female electronic prompt and slowly turned their heads in the direction opposite where they were standing.
[The third round - Game No. 02285, the random venue has been generated: Talon Avenue. 】
[Contest rules: None. 】
[Get ready to start. 3, 2, 1——]
"ah--!"
As the last number fell, the invisible barrier that restricted the two people disappeared silently between them. The two men let out a loud roar and then ran towards their respective goals.
"Soldiers fighting soldiers... bah, it's boring."
Although he was talking about these complaints, Duan Qing had no intention of turning it off, and still stared at the two figures on the screen silently. However, this casual battle was very short, because almost all the attacks from both sides were taken by the other side. The entire battle was filled with the smell of iron and blood.
"It's all about internal strength..."
After more than ten seconds, the first person to retreat finally appeared - the player who rushed from the left seemed to have suffered a small loss in terms of the quality of the equipment, so his current blood volume had bottomed out. He hurriedly took two steps back, and at the same time took out a bottle of magic potion to treat injuries from his waist, and drank it in front of the opponent - his opponent wanted to rush up to hit him, but did not notice that he was close. He was running out of energy, so he stopped dead in the middle of the charge, unable to even lift his sword.
One party regained his health and the other regained his body. The two people distanced themselves again, and then collided together again, but this time, the person whose blood volume was not fully restored changed his fighting method: when he was fighting with the other party, He kept twisting and turning in an attempt to avoid the opponent's attack, but judging from the results, the effect was obviously the opposite.
"For the sake of both ends, the movements have been deformed." Duan Qing shook his head: "If it weren't for the final result written on it..."
The result was revealed the next moment.
As if aware of the failure of this approach, the man no longer tried to dodge, but assumed the same posture as at the beginning, as if he wanted to fight the opponent to the end. The opponent who had already won once was naturally happy to see such a result. The strength in his hand increased a bit, and the sparks caused by the two swords clashing became brighter. Finally, amid another splatter of blood, the man put away his sword and retreated, trying to hide back again. But the guy who had always had the advantage obviously would not let go of this opportunity to finish his opponent.
"Still trying to run!"
He shouted loudly, took a sudden step forward, and struck the opponent in the direction he wanted to retreat with his sword. Unexpectedly, the person's toes were a little bit there, then he bent his knees and rushed towards the feet in the opposite direction to the original direction. come over.
Uh-huh!
The sword barely passed by him, and then hit the ground hard. The player with only bloody skin had no time to wipe the cold sweat on his head, but stood up suddenly after rolling past the opponent's position, and turned around With a throw, the tip of the sword passed under the head of the guy whose physical strength was exhausted again, and then fell with a clang on the stone bricks in the distance.
"Well... seeking life in death." Duan Qing clapped his hands: "He is a courageous person."
The person on the screen slowly fell down, and then slowly stopped as the system results were announced, as if it was recorded here. After being silent for a while with that image, Duan Qing's drooped eyelids slowly lifted up like an old monk. He sighed, then turned off all content and re-entered the game.
It was night in Fars Fortress, and the players who had gone out for adventure had already rushed back. While enjoying the food provided by the tavern that had not yet been fully built, they talked about what they had seen and heard in the game. A topic worthy of discussion recently. As the UEFA Cup gradually progressed, topics related to the game became more and more popular and began to spread in this place, but these things were not what Duan Qing wanted to hear. He looked at the distribution of people around him, then looked at his character status, then went to the counter to buy some food, picked a deserted place and sat down quietly.
"This feeling..." He sighed again, and then drank the glass of wine in front of him: "I haven't felt it in a long time."
"Why are you drinking alone here?"
As if the sky didn't want Duan Qing to feel lonely, a voice suddenly appeared in front of him, and then followed the source of the voice and sat next to him. Duan Qing turned around and found that the guy in front of him seemed familiar.
"It's...you." He was stunned for a while, then shook his head and smiled.
"President Fantasy Dream." (To be continued.)
