The racing was over. Esaka pulled Chen Yu, Luo Xi, and two others to the same locked YY channel, and asked: "How does it feel to play in a group with this rhythm?"
Luo Xi said nothing, waiting for them to speak first.
The other two people applied to join the group for assessment. Their attitude was very good, and the performance of the entire dungeon was acceptable. Esaka was also very satisfied with them, so he sent the QR code of the WeChat group on YY and asked them to transfer to the server. Call him and join the guild.
Then he returned to YY: "Racing is quite interesting, hey."
Chen Yu told the truth: "This is my first time racing, and it's very exciting! I've only heard about it before, but I've never played it."
In fact, the real technical content of a racing group lies in tactical design and command. For an ordinary team member, no matter how high-end or detailed you want to be, it doesn't matter. It can only be said that as long as you are familiar with the process carefully and follow the instructions step by step, it will be very easy.
After all, it's still early days. It would be normal for an ordinary team to build a sunwell for three to four hours. How could a racing team be so refreshing and kill the egg in less than fifty minutes?
So purely in terms of gaming experience, Chen Yu still finds it quite fresh and enjoyable to play.
Luo Xi simply agreed and listened to Chen Yu chatting with Esaka in YY. Chen Yu was a curious baby. He noticed some details when typing the book and felt uncomfortable without asking why.
But Esaka was not bothered, and happily told Chen Yu how to implement these details. For example, the priest used his spiritual vision to see the location of the patrolling monsters, walked to where to attack the monsters, and just finished fighting the humanoid monsters to pick up the patrols, a perfect timeline. .
While listening, Little Tail secretly chatted with Luo Xi: "Teacher, is Chen Yu going to change jobs? I feel like they are having a great time chatting!"
Luo Xi remained silent and just shook her head.
The two talked for a long time, and then talked about the three-point positioning method that Chen Yu proposed when fighting Kil'jaeden. Esaka greatly appreciated it and asked Chen Yu how he noticed it and how he came up with it.
The two of them completely forgot about the existence of Luoxi, chatting enthusiastically about Kil'jaeden's tactics and deducing some details of positioning.
At the end of the chat, Esaka was silent for a long time before saying, "Brother, come to our group."
He suddenly remembered that Luo Xi was still there, and quickly said: "And Luo Xi, you two are very strong. Are you interested in racing?"
This twist was so abrupt that it made Luo Xi laugh out loud: "Haha, thank you for your support. It's a pity that the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as my own doghouse. I can use the cat virtue to experience racing once and I will be very happy. Really really thankful."
Seeing his refusal, Esaka did not press him, but continued to ask Chen Yu: "Where is Chen Yu? Are you interested in racing?"
Chen Yu laughed dumbly: "Like Luo Xi, I am here to experience the experience. Yili Miao and Shi Yuan are both great players, so I am also curious about what kind of team can make the two of them have fun together. .”
Esaka joked: "What happens after we come to fight? Is it better to be famous than to meet?"
"No, no." Chen Yu hurriedly explained: "I have indeed learned a lot. I feel that the essence of racing is to fight the entire dungeon as a boss, and plan the skill timeline and the method of dealing with each wave of monsters in a unified way. In many places, it would be interesting to switch to bloodthirsty and change the rhythm so that the boss cannot be fought like that."
"I rarely take the initiative to invite others, let alone poach people, because most of the people who come to play with us will feel good about it. I still have some confidence in the guild. If you don't want to join, just have your own way. Everyone has their own difficulties." Esaka sighed slightly, "But I really want to invite you two to join our group today."
"Why?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
He knows that the E Club is a second-tier top-level racing group in the national server. The scope of recruitment is very wide, comparable to choosing a concubine. The WCL score is only a basic threshold. If you have enough points, you have to go through an assessment. Identify as a like-minded player.
Chen Yu doesn't think he is a particularly good player. He can only say that he has rich experience and can play, but when it comes to PVE details and techniques, he is far from top-notch.
After all, he was just an ordinary player who hung out in the Last Bus team in the official server back then, and he was a good player among ordinary players. With the development of the classic server, after TBC and WLK, many people who played well gradually joined. He knew that some people from the two guilds of the former Hall of Fame team also came to play in the classic server.
At my level, I might be considered good at playing in an ordinary guild, but there is still a clear gap compared to people who are really good at playing.
Esaka explained: "The classic server is not a game about operation, nor does it require high-end skills. But when playing racing, the gap between people is still very obvious. This gap is not about operation, but understanding."
"Understand?" Luo Xi was also a little curious.
"Yes, I understand." Esaka continued: "Being able to see through phenomena to see the essence is a very rare ability. For example, if Chen Yu plays with us, he will be able to understand the essence of racing, which is to regard the entire copy as When you fight a boss, whether it’s a mob or a boss, it’s just a part of it.”
Esaka smiled as he spoke: "There are some teammates in our team who actually play well, but it took me a long time to truly understand this after joining the team."
At this time, Little Tail came over with a mobile phone, sat next to Luo Xi, and asked curiously: "Then why do you want to play racing?"
Luo Xi turned on the microphone and could only laugh awkwardly and explain: "My wife also plays World of Warcraft, I'm sorry."
"It's a blessing that both husband and wife can play World of Warcraft together. It doesn't matter." Esaka said with a smile: "As for why we want to play racing, it's a long story. The original intention of many racing groups. It’s all different.”
"As for our group, the reason is very simple. It's because the difficulty of the bosses in the classic server is relatively low. Clearing the CD every week is too dry and a bit boring. So there have been people playing racing groups since the private server at level 60. It’s nothing more than adding some drama myself to make the game content more interesting.”
He paused briefly and then said: "Actually, the biggest value is that we can gather a group of players who are good at playing and listen to instructions to play together. To me, this is more interesting than simply playing a copy and defeating the boss."
"Then the question is, are you two interested in playing with us? There is no need to withdraw from the membership, just practice as an alt account in our server. Mao De is very well-armed, and can arrange for you to play in a group without competition, without racing. If you want to play, you can play pure cats. If you want to play racing, there are two bosses that have to cut off bears to use as secondary tanks. As for Chen Yu, if you like it, you can play with the double-sword thief for a long time. The number belongs to my friend and he doesn’t have time. Play. Spend whatever money you want to buy equipment, and he will reimburse you."
Luo Xi pondered for a moment: "It's indeed tempting, but forget it."
"Playing at a racing pace, I actually feel a little tired, because this thing really requires proficiency and tactics. For professions like Cat Druid, each public CD has an optimal solution. If you are not familiar with it, The process is very tiring. I am a lazy person. I only play simple games in the classic server. Racing is a game that requires continuous learning of tactics. But thank you. I am quite lucky to experience racing once. Thank you. ”
Esaka wasn't angry either, he just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. You can come back to play again when you have the opportunity. You are welcome at any time. In the future, I mean if you want to join a group someday in the future, you might as well come to our group to play together."
"So, where is Chen Yu?"
Luo Xi was also curious about what Chen Yu would think. In his opinion, someone like Chen Yu was quite suitable for a racing group, and he should be willing to play. Little Tails sat nearby and pricked up his ears to listen.
Chen Yu then spoke, and he spoke slowly, as if he was carefully considering every word: "I'm still very grateful to Group E for the kind invitation, but it may be... inconvenient for me."
"Ha, that's okay." Esaka hadn't invited anyone to join the party for a long time. This time he took the initiative to speak, but both of them refused. After all, he still felt a little embarrassed. But he was still very generous.
Chen Yu could feel it, so he explained straightforwardly: "Group E, actually speaking of my personal thoughts, I really like your game style, and I am indeed interested in joining. But..."
He remembered that before joining the group, Wanwan had said a few hesitant words to him on WeChat, as if she had never seen the world, but it was already obvious what she wanted to say.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, let me put it bluntly, our president is quite stingy, so there is nothing we can do but say..."
He was a science student and was at a loss for words, but Luo Xi joked: "Huanjun Mingzhu sheds tears, wishing we could meet again before we were married."
Esaka knew that the president walking in the clouds was a little girl, so he let out a laugh that all men would understand: "Hey hey hey... how can it be so disgusting!? You are talking like a gay man! Chen Yu is being watched by the president. Okay. , If you don’t come, you won’t come! It doesn’t matter. Each person has his own way of playing, you can’t force it.”
These people joked for a while, and then each made YY voice calls. Little Tail hurriedly pressed the phone a few times, then stretched out his finger to Luo Xi and put it to his mouth: "Shh."
He said and quickly turned off the microphone.
"YY, I got off, it's okay." Luo Xi wondered, "What's wrong?"
Little Tails took out his mobile phone mysteriously: "Guess who I was talking to just now?"
"Ah!? Voice?" Just now Luo Xi's attention was focused on YY, but she didn't expect to be eavesdropped by the little spy, Little Tail.
"It was our president just now. I heard that you were chatting privately in YY, so he asked me to turn on the voice to eavesdrop. Hehe, you didn't expect it, did you?" Little Tail said with a smile, "You two didn't go. I feel relieved to get back to her."
"Tch, what does it have to do with me!" Luo Xi dismissed it.
"The Chairman is not paying attention to you, then..." The couple looked at each other, their hearts burning with gossip.
As soon as Chen Yu logged into YY, his cell phone started beeping.
I turned on my phone and saw several messages from Wanwan on WeChat.
It’s Wanwan: What do you mean I’m stingy! ? Chen Yu! Please explain it clearly to me!
Chen Yu: Huh?
It’s Wanwan: You answer the phone!
Said a voice called over.
Chen Yuren was confused: "Where did you hear that? Did Luo Xi tell you the secret? Teacher Su... is not that good!"
Wanwan said angrily: "It's not Luo Xi! Anyway, I heard it all! What does it mean that our president is stingy? So there is nothing we can do about it?"
"The president invited me, but I have to find an excuse if I don't want to go!" Chen Yu couldn't think of any excuse for a while, so he could only use Esaka as a shield: "I couldn't think of an excuse for a while, so I could only use the president as a shield. ”
"You can go if you want. You guys are having so much fun." Wanwan pouted and said angrily.
"How is that possible! I don't have the materials to play racing! Besides, thieves don't have AOE, so racing is a natural disadvantage. Even if you have a position now, it's hard to say whether it will be used in the future!" Chen Yu hurriedly explained with a smile. road.
Although she could hear his tone of coaxing a child, Wanwan still calmed down inexplicably, but she said unforgivingly: "Oh, it's because I'm afraid that I won't have a position. You go over there and fight first, and then come back if you don't have a position." Walking in the clouds and playing, hum!"
Chen Yu knew that she had calmed down, so he said a few perfunctory words. Although it sounded perfunctory, Wanwan couldn't help but turned her anger into joy and smiled broadly.
The two then chatted for a while, and Wanwan suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, my roommate knows that I play World of Warcraft. She said she saw a piece of news a few days ago, saying that NetEase's agency rights will end in half a year! Will it happen in the future..."
Chen Yu laughed when he heard this: "How is that possible! Blizzard and NetEase are not fools."
"Huh? Then why haven't you renewed the contract?"
As an IT elite who has been immersed in the Internet industry for many years, Chen Yu completely scorned this, but after thinking about it, Wanwan had no work experience after all, so he patiently explained to Wanwan: "Think about it, from NetEase's perspective Said that the biggest cost he paid was the early agency rights and server fees. These are fixed costs, and the subsequent operating costs are not high. Although Blizzard games are not as profitable as mobile games, they are still a stable cash flow, and the cost If it is amortized year by year, who would not want to do a business that can make stable money at a little operating cost?"
"Think about Blizzard again. It has been a long time since the version number was issued. Now that I want to change agents, does he not want the mainland market? This revenue may not be much for Activision, but it is important for Blizzard itself. It’s really a lot. And he will develop games regardless of whether he has the revenue from mainland China. Licensing to NetEase is just to make money. If he doesn’t make money, he will make nothing!”
"You know so much, so I'm relieved." Although Wanwan didn't understand, she still felt very powerful.
"Hey, don't worry, it's no problem! Both NetEase and Blizzard are such big companies, and the bosses must be smart people, much smarter than us. From a business logic point of view, there is no motive for the two parties to break up!" Chen Yu was confident and talked eloquently: "Your roommate is also true. When he hears the news, he is like rain. Is it because he sees you too addicted to playing games and wants to scare you?"
"If Blizzard really wants to change agents, it must find a new agent now, and then renew a one-year extension contract with NetEase, so that it can be seamlessly connected."
"As long as Blizzard finds a home, there will be some rumors in the game industry in a year. How can it be delayed until only half a year is left! Even if you ask me to be the boss of Riot, there is no way I can find a home at this time. Yes! Are you crazy? Hey, don’t worry, we can play this game together for a long time. There will be Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, and until Legion returns..."
"Yes!" Wanwan was confused and could only nod her head.
"President, in future versions I only want to play as a thief, do you mind?"
