The next morning.
Phoenix Stadium.
The top 32 game is scheduled for 8 am.
It's very early, because today, the top 32, top 16, top 8, top 4, and finals will all be competed in one day.
In this way, the highly anticipated top four and finals will be held in the evening, during the time period with the highest ratings.
Zheng Yu entered the backstage of Phoenix Stadium under the guidance of the staff.
When entering the backcourt, Zheng Yu clearly felt a very familiar aura - the aura of the abyss.
The magic of the Phoenix Stadium is that it has an entity, spectators can enter and watch the game, and the video equipment can directly transfer the live broadcast.
The players are in an abyss.
Liu Nanyan once told him that the Phoenix Stadium was the abyss controlled by Nan Muyun, an abyss called the Arena.
When Zheng Yu entered the player preparation room, he was not as concerned as he had imagined because of his status as a summoner and a newbie.
Because the preparation room is a single room.
And very luxurious.
There are even masseurs to help players relax before the game. There are all kinds of food, various training equipment, and an angle with a very good view to watch the game.
There is no opening ceremony or opening performance in the competition. There is only a simple opening statement by the host, and then the battle starts directly and the audience is served hard food.
First draw lots to decide the opponent.
For the sake of fairness, the organizer invited the god of death Liao Jun as a guest to draw lots.
Zheng Yu was drawn out seventh.
The opponent is a level 35 monk named Zhang Hao.
Just like Liu Nanyan said last night, he met a very "suitable" opponent.
And it’s what the organizers think is appropriate.
This level 35 monk with A-level talent ranked fourth from the bottom among all the top 32 players in the netizens' strength voting rankings.
Although he is an A-level talent, his actual combat ability is very strong. He only entered the top 32 after defeating S-level talent professionals.
After the monk reaches level 30, he has both offense and defense. He also has the mental attack ability of Sanskrit. He has control, output and defense, which makes him very advantageous in actual combat.
Every year a few less talented monks stand out.
There were even monks with B-level talents who appeared in the top 32.
"A-level talents can be ranked in the top 32, and they really can't be compared with Wang Ting and others in the world."
Zheng Yu once and Wang Ting learned about the current strength of their world.
It also experienced an era of genius blowout.
A-level talent, in their world, is really not on the table.
But in Kyushu... you can all grab your own resources.
However, Zheng Yu was not qualified to judge this warrior monk because he ranked last in the netizens' voting rankings for his strength.
Zheng Yu estimated that it was because those who voted were ordinary people, not professionals.
Most of them don't know their own record in the Abyss.
With only one Summoner profession, the voting was carried out directly.
Speaking of monks, Zheng Yu thought of Tao Qian. Ever since they separated from the Dark Valley, Tao Qian, Ke Ying, Wen Ren Qingyu, and Chai Yun had been working hard to level up in the abyss, but had never had time to contact them.
"I don't know if the abyss is going smoothly for them."
As the first batch of professionals brought out by him, Zheng Yu was indeed very concerned.
Zheng Yu didn't wait too long. After the draw, the first few games also went very quickly, and there were even two crushing games.
It's all strong vs. weak, ensuring that the strong can stay behind, making the top 16 more interesting to watch.
But the top 32 games also need something to watch.
The highlight... is naturally Zheng Yu, the summoner.
When it was Zheng Yu's turn to play, the comment area of the live broadcast had already started discussing this rare professional.
"Is it really the Summoner? And he came in directly? He didn't go through the back door, right?"
"If you look at the forum, you will never say this. Two big guys who have passed the level perfectly, do you think he used the back door?"
"But he is a summoner!"
"So what if you are a summoner? Having strength is enough. Let me tell you this. Now the professionals in Shangyu City want to call Zheng Yu father."
"So humble?"
"What a humble ass! I don't have to scream even if I want to. Do you know what it means to reduce the difficulty of the abyss by 20%? Do you know how delicious a gold card that can be bought for less than 500,000 is?"
"As a professional from Shangyu City, I bear witness!"
"Although... I have to say... he is just a summoner."
"If we looked at Zheng Yu's strategy before, I would have said you were right, but now... I just want to say, what age are we in, and are we still practicing professional discrimination?"
"..."
Comments kept popping up, and the popularity peaked because of Zheng Yu's appearance in the morning when the ratings were not high.
This made the organizers very happy.
"I hope Zheng Yu can win. If he can win, the topic and ratings will increase a lot."
"Before the top 8, the popularity was solely supported by Zheng Yu."
"But it's a pity. It's difficult for a summoner to win against a monk with defense and output, but this is already the most suitable opponent for him."
"If Zheng Yu comes to participate again in another year, he might be the favorite to win."
It is a pity for the organizers that Summoner can enter the top 32, but it is still a direct entry. This itself is a big discussion point.
Whether they are questioning or watching the fun, it can attract the audience to watch.
…
At the same time, the VIP stands.
Liu Nanyan changed from yesterday's silence, with a smile on his face, and said to Rong Li beside him: "Look, that's the newcomer of our Yanyun League who has passed the level twice perfectly."
"..."
Rong Li looked indifferent and did not respond.
He didn't want to respond.
Because this is the third time Liu Nanyan has said it.
Although two perfect passes are indeed worth bragging about, do you need to keep saying it?
Liao Ning was also watching the arena seriously at this time. When Zheng Yu walked onto the ring, he curiously asked He Wenxia next to him, "Who do you think can win?"
He Wenxia shook her head and said: "Without Zheng Yu's data information, according to normal understanding, a level 31 summoner is no match for a level 35 monk."
"But Zheng Yu has an S-level talent and has a record of clearing death row alone, so it's difficult to judge."
Liao Ning said with a smile: "You still need data? You don't know what kind of virtues there are in the abyss of death row. If you can pass the level as a manager, it is impossible for Zhang Hao to win."
"Hahaha, why don't you take a gamble?"
Liao Ning has high expectations for Zheng Yu, otherwise he would not have gotten a direct quota for Zheng Yu.
"No gambling."
He Wenxia decisively refused.
She never liked betting on such uncertainties.
Especially...there are still uncertain factors like Zheng Yu.
…
In the arena.
Zheng Yu saw the monk.
He is not tall, his muscles are always tense, and his whole body is always in a state of preparation for war.
This is a passive skill unique to monks.
It can improve the instinctive fighting mechanism of the monk professional. Even if an assassin suddenly flashes behind him and attacks him, the monk can react instantly.
This is an advantage that other professions do not have.
Monk Zhang Hao looked at Zheng Yu, and it was hard to hide the smile on his face.
Zheng Yu asked with a smile: "It seems that you are a match for me, are you very happy?"
Zhang Hao didn't hide anything and said directly: "It seems that since I changed my profession as a warrior monk, the blessings of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue have finally come."
"I thought I was lucky enough to be in the top 32, but I didn't expect that I could be so lucky."
Zhang Hao is holding a monk stick and his body is shining with golden light.
He has already planned to make a quick decision and advance to the top 16, and has even begun to consider how to use the reward resources of the top 16.
Then... his smile froze on his face.
Because he saw a mountain-like bull's head sitting on his face!
"Lucky?"
Zheng Yu smiled strangely.
"are you sure?"
…
(There will be very little plot in the game, because it is not the main plot and will end quickly)
