A9.
Looking at this combination of subtitles and numbers that seemed extremely ordinary but had no clear meaning, Duan Qing's eyes stagnated for a long time, and then, as if he was confirming something, he repeated the two words: "A9
…”
"What's wrong, sir?" Then a slight voice of inquiry from Ninglan sounded in his ears: "Did an accident happen?"
"...Nothing." Duan Qing replied in a slow voice: "It's just...the results of their drawing of lots came out."
"Then what's shown above is...A9?"
The fragrant breath fell on Duan Qing's chest with the movement of Ciyu Ninglan's probe, and then there was a beautiful smile after she looked back: "Is this... the number of the group?"
"According to normal understanding... it is like this."
Maintaining his supine position, Duan Qing gradually cast his contemplative gaze on the ceiling of the game cabin: "A general lottery will divide all the contestants present into different groups, and then after the round-robin elimination, there will be so many
There are only one or two people to advance, but..."
"Are there so many contestants this time?" He let out a slight sigh: "The number A9... doesn't look like a normal group number."
"If people starting with A are in a group... then there will be at least ten teams in a group." Encrypted Ninglan also frowned slightly: "But if we consider this number, starting with the letter
There should be nearly ten large groups, which means the total number of teams exceeds one hundred..."
"There are indeed a lot of players in the free world, but the teams formed by professional players should not have reached this level yet." Duan Qing shook his head gently: "It's okay for ordinary players to apply to become professional players. If they are allowed to temporarily
If you form a team and have to rush to participate in the competition...it shouldn't be so fast."
"After all, there are not many people as bold as our leader." Ningyu Ninglan covered her mouth and said coquettishly: "If such a scene really happens, the alliance will definitely have a headache."
"And looking at the people present... there don't seem to be so many teams." Looking at the lottery ceremony where the crowd was still spinning, Duan Qing said in a low voice: "So this strange number must have some other meaning in it.
.”
"...What do you mean, sir?"
"Remember how the game map we had a long time ago... was marked?"
Looking at the last number left in the chat box that appeared next to the live broadcast light board, Duan Qing's eyes gradually became serious: "I have a very bold idea..."
"I wonder if those beasts from the Alliance will use this trick."
He waved his hand, and then began to operate quickly as the secret language Ninglan retreated. Then after a period of flashing of the cabin, he logged into the competition server he secretly hired again. At this time, other members of the Fool's Adventure Group
Here he was constantly completing the training tasks he had given him before, and at the same time, the sweat he had squandered and the explosive momentum of his moves were scattered around the mountains and rivers. He looked slightly pleased and stopped at the location of those figures.
After a while, he finally clapped his hands hard: "Pause! Pause!"
"What's wrong, boss?" Xiao Hongchen, who stopped waving his gun after hearing the sound, took the lead and walked to Duan Qing: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I still have three hundred and eighty-four shots to go."
"Your team leader just brought back the grouping situation." Ignoring the heat radiating from the opponent's shirtless body, Duan Qing said to the other team members who were approaching: "Now... I want to add some extras to you.
train."
"Extra training?" Black Corn, who seemed to be too tired to exert any strength, raised his head: "Are you a devil? Twenty-four hours a day is no longer enough..."
"Don't worry, I know you are all working hard." Duan Qing waved his hand: "I'm just adding some extra training so that you can become familiar with possible situations..."
"Why, what new variables have appeared?" The evil young man from Jie City, who stuck his swords upside down on the ground, frowned: "Is there any strong enemy?"
"It's just speculation on my part right now."
Without answering the other party's question directly, Duan Qing began to click on his own proprietary operation interface: "So... let you get familiar with it first."
He waved his hand suddenly, and then scattered a large number of black wooden boxes that were no different from before in front of everyone: "...Okay."
"Why are you giving out equipment again?" Black Corn, who had been lackluster before, immediately began to shine with his eyes: "I like... ah no, I mean, the things I was given before were too weak. This
This time I will pick two better ones..."
"No." Duan Qing sighed and shook his head: "I already said this is training, and this... is also one of the contents of training."
"This is... training?" Qian Zhihe, holding the staff, asked in a low voice, "What kind of training is this?"
"Train your speed in searching for equipment."
Duan Qing shook his head slightly and pointed at Xiao Hongchen who was closest to him: "You go first... Please search and take away all the equipment in these boxes in the shortest possible time."
"……ha?"
First he let out a strange cry of confusion, and then Xiao Hongchen, who was pointing at his nose, laughed twice: "You, you call this training? Isn't this the instinct of an adventurer? Just wait, I'll do it right away.
Move them all away!”
With a graceful movement, he turned around, Xiao Hongchen quickly arrived at the box closest to him, and then with a sudden push, he forcefully opened the black lid of the heavy wooden box: "...Wow! Wave!"
The great sword of Teran! The great sword that increases the strength by eight points! Good things, good things..."
"What? Show me."
"It's training now. Do you understand training? Go ahead and don't disturb me to make a fortune..."
Avoiding the hand that the evil young man from Jie City then extended, Xiao Hongchen carried the big sword in the box behind his back, then quickly jumped to the next wooden box, and with a deliberately exaggerated exclamation, he took out the other big sword inside.
The shield was lifted out, and as he searched, more and more various armors and equipment appeared on the shirtless man, and the speed of his search became faster and faster as the process progressed.
Slower and slower: "Brother Qingshan, he is..."
"His weight-bearing capacity has increased a lot and should be over 70% now."
Shaking his head and answering Qian Zhihe's question, Duan Qing crossed his arms and said, "The weight will affect the movement of the character, which will in turn affect the player's search speed. I thought I would always maintain a light-weight smile.
Hongchen will notice this, but now it seems... this guy can't resist the temptation of equipment."
"Still, you didn't ask me to do this!"
Breathlessly carrying back a mountain of weapons, Xiao Hongchen staggered and fell in front of Duan Qing: "Don't you want me to plunder everything here? How can I not empty it out..."
"...Okay, from this point of view, you did a good job." Duan Qing pointed to his feet expressionlessly, indicating that the other party could drop the things: "But...if we get to the real battlefield,
You might not have time to do that."
"...So what exactly do you want to train us for?" Lost Dream, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "Training with weights?"
"No, it's just to train your search speed."
Reaching out and swiping around, Duan Qing took back the large pile of opened wooden boxes together with the surrounding weapons and equipment, and then after another complicated operation, the surrounding beautiful mountains and rivers suddenly turned into a blood-stained battlefield: "
But there is a lot of knowledge in it, which I want to tell you now, such as the starting position of the search, the method of quickly distinguishing useful equipment from useless equipment, the method of rationally allocating the load, and catching up before the enemy rushes into your face.
The ability to quickly allocate resources to the entire team…”
"Mengzhu is a qualified team leader, but she probably doesn't know much about these things, so when it comes to the competition... you can only complete the part you need to do on your own." He pointed at the bloody sky.
Corpses and messy remnants were appearing out of thin air in the battlefield below, and a smile appeared on his face: "I will talk about these things in general, and the rest..."
"Just slowly understand and adapt yourself."
******************************
"Have you adapted to life here?"
A few days later, in the Anderson Independent State in the free world, Duan Qing, who had just come online again, was greeted by a bonfire gradually growing in the cave shrouded in white mist, and the greetings belonging to the Eight Treasure Lord: "
Brothers Qingshan on Mo Shang?”
"...What's going on outside?" Duan Qing gradually dimmed the light in his eyes, and turned to look at the thick white outside: "Is it foggy?"
"In basins like the Independent State, fog is actually a very common weather." As if he noticed that the other party was gradually adapting to the current game world, Mr. Babao smiled and retracted his visiting head: "It's just that since you guys
It just appeared for the first time after arriving here."
"I heard that when the fog here rises, it is no different from the night in the ordinary world." Legend of Flames, who was sitting on the other side of the bonfire, then laughed and said: "In order to avoid those demonized creatures that may appear, we have to
Hide in."
"……All right."
Nodding as if he understood what the other party meant, Duan Qing then looked around: "So... where are we going next?"
"Why, you've been offline for too long, have you forgotten our previous itinerary?" Legend of Flames pointed at the opponent's chest: "This is the Dragon Bone Wasteland, and what we are going to next is the Dragon Valley below."
"...The fog outside is so thick that we can't tell where we are now." Duan Qing took out his adventurer's manual and then checked the map: "Sorry, sorry."
"Brother Qingshan, aren't you a little tired?" Yangtze River No. 7, who was also looking at him, asked with concern: "I see you've been busy lately...you should pay attention to rest."
"It's okay, all I need is to think about it..."
Duan Qing tapped his forehead with his finger and made a thoughtful gesture: "Well... I remember you said you found traces of the Restorationists, so you came to this place."
"Yes, this is not only the place closest to Hulan Mountain, but also the most dangerous place in the Independent State." Babaojun, who put away his smile, nodded his head: "With the geographical location and cunning of the restorers,
Ability... This should be the most suitable place for them to hide."
"We are not relying on this kind of speculation, we have conclusive evidence!" Feitian Qixia, who was sitting behind Legend of Flames, immediately waved his arms and retorted: "If Xiaoyuer hadn't relied on the power emanating from that stone,
Now that you have found this direction, can you think of Dragon Valley?"
"The strength of monsters and the danger level of the environment in Dragon Nest are very high. Ordinary players and teams dare not break in easily." Tudou on the side hurriedly pressed his teammates behind him and looked at the top and bottom of the cave: "Even if
It’s hard to find out even if you know it, so...don’t always blame others.”
"According to the woman's statement given by the translator we found, this place has also been within the scope of our suspicion."
As if he didn't seem to mind the fat thief's deliberate targeting just now, Babaojun continued to introduce to Duan Qing: "The woman whose tribe was exterminated said that their tribe once witnessed the Magu people who came back from the Dragon Valley..."
"Does Master Lunuo also know these things?" Duan Qing asked in a low voice: "Does he agree with our investigation operation this time?"
"There is no other way. After all, even the most powerful Lusen tribe seems to have no one willing to set foot here." The Spiral Sword, who was responsible for collecting intelligence, smiled and explained: "According to the elders of the tribe,
This place is where the powerful ancient dragons once appeared in the ancient records of their tribe. It is still a gathering place of poisonous miasma and ferocious beasts, as well as unknown ancient creatures that appear in this area from time to time..."
"That does sound like a possibility."
Looking at their location on the map, Duan Qing's eyes then fell on the top of Hulan Mountain, which was not far away from them: "For example, the ancient dinosaurs were covered in blood and had sharp teeth, as well as the ones with sharp feathers and cold frost hanging all over their bodies.
Angry giant strange bird..."
"……What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing."
Shaking his head and dismissing those memories, Duan Qing's eyes returned to everyone again: "In other words, we can only be responsible for this death squad... When will we set off?"
"As long as this fog dissipates, we can set off at any time." Legend of Flame said with a smile: "Of course, the premise is that you will not be in a hurry to log off..."
"Don't worry."
Duan Qing, who took out the food he brought with him and began to replenish his character's energy, replied nonchalantly: "Before the official start of the game..."
"I probably won't care about them anymore."
