At the end of the second round, there were only 720 contestants left in the [Battle of Cocoon].
Wang Tanzhi was among them.
After that game, Brother Long communicated with Xiaotan once and exchanged some information about the situation at that time. Long Aomin is indeed a very "open-minded" person, and he was very open-minded after losing. He was not upset at all. On the contrary, he felt sorry for Xiaotan.
I admired the surprising tactics so much that I almost clapped my hands...
Anyway, Blade is not a commercial game studio and has no ranking requirements for its members, so it doesn’t matter where Brother Long loses.
However, this game caused a lot of discussion on the forum. Since Long Ge sent Meng Jingchan into the play-offs in the first round, many players once regarded him as a dark horse in this game.
As a result, just after one round, the news of [Long Aomin], the ID that had just become popular, was revealed...
"I told you before, Long Aomin only relied on luck to win the first round." This view has sprung up on the forum. In fact... 90% of the people who expressed these views have never watched Brother Long's game.
...And they haven’t read it in two rounds. They just read some posts and news, made some assumptions based on the outcome of the matter, and published some fallacies.
Of course, there are many players who have actually watched the battle between Wu Tanzhi and Long Aomin. Most of them came to see Brother Long, but they didn’t expect the result of the tunnel battle to be like this... let alone
The process will be so dramatic.
Xiao Tan completed a classic kill in front of thousands of spectators. Although there was an element of luck involved, as Feng Bujue said, since he could come up with this idea and dared to take the risk, then he would
I can afford this victory.
It's just...compared to Brother Long's rise to fame after the first round, this ID is still tepid. It seems that most people still think he won by luck.
…………
At one o'clock in the morning on May 21st, the third round began.
Xiaotan, like the previous two rounds, was on standby in the landing space on time.
It’s still the familiar system prompt: [The third round of the Cocoon War is about to begin, your data will be loaded in thirty seconds, please do not leave the login space. ]
[Ten seconds countdown before loading, nine, eight, seven...two, one.]
But... after the countdown ended, the opening remarks failed to arrive as scheduled.
After about five seconds of silence, Xiao Tan just felt that something was wrong, and the system voice sounded: [No matching target found, you have a bye in this round, congratulations on entering the fourth round directly. 】
"Huh?" Xiaotan was quite at a loss after hearing this prompt. After dozens of seconds, he finally realized, "Did someone fail to line up on time?"
Obviously, yes.
It's a coincidence that among the 720 players who entered the third round of [Battle of Cocoon], one of them didn't come tonight. The reason is that his wife gave birth to a baby... and was sent to the hospital in the evening, so
He was not online at all tonight.
If an even number of players is absent, the system can still complete pairings until the number of players becomes an odd number in the next round. But tonight there is only one missing, so...one player will have a bye.
And Xiao Tan is the one who got a bye.
Five minutes later, when he came to Feng Bujue's conference room and told him about his direct promotion, Brother Jue complained: "Your character... If you can give me 20%, I will sell it tomorrow
I bought all my family property and bought a plane ticket to go to Macau.”
…………
All in all, Xiaotan advanced to the top 360 without any surprises.
The next day, the matter of the bye became a hot topic, and many IDs who were obviously Internet trolls took a righteous stance and attacked Dream Company in various forums.
Let’s break down these people’s arguments and break them down, and then look at their core meaning. To put it bluntly, it’s “This is unfair! Someone who was eliminated in the play-offs should be allowed to have a fight with him! The winner will advance!”
Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this is a farce run by some inferior game studios, who want their eliminated players to get another chance. These studios regard the bye as a life-saving straw, and send out gunmen widely, calling themselves
Bystanders were filled with indignation and spared no effort to create public opinion in an attempt to put pressure on the game company.
But they obviously got the wrong person...
Dream Company is not an ordinary game operator. It goes its own way and lets others laugh and scold them. This is basically their motto.
If a player is unable to compete due to off-site factors, it has already been stated in the rules that it is regarded as a waiver, and there is no objection at all. Therefore, Dream Company completely ignores those trolls.
So, after a whole day of fussing to no avail, the angry gunmen all focused their attention on Xiaotan, which could be said to be a way of venting their anger... In short, Xiaotan was targeted. He was in the fourth round.
If his performance is good, then people will naturally have nothing to say; but if he appears vulnerable, he will definitely become the main excuse for trolls to launch attacks after the game.
When the time comes... "If so-and-so is allowed to play, he will definitely be promoted!", "Dream Corporation would rather give promotion to losers who have missed a bye than give opportunities to capable players. Where is the fairness?" Such remarks are bound to come out.
, this is already foreseeable...
…………
On May 22nd, at one o'clock in the morning, the fourth round of [Battle of Cocoon].
"Three sleeping cocoons in the darkness of the deep forest, the softness wrapped around the fingers can be tempered with strength." After the countdown ended, the system voice read the opening words sonorously.
[Loading has been completed, you are currently engaged in the Peak Battle-Cocoon Battle.]
[This mode has no script introduction, no side/hidden tasks and no special world view.]
[Scenario Victory Reward: Advance to the Top 180]
[The main mission has been triggered]
【Kill the opponent】
Xiao Tan was teleported to a black wasteland. The ground was made of hard rock and there was no grass growing. Looking around, he saw that it was vast and vast, with no obvious landmarks.
A full moon hangs in the sky.
Two figures stood proudly.
A familiar face appeared in Wang Tanzhi's sight. Without confirming through the game menu, Xiao Tan recognized the other person - [Seven Kills].
Qisha also recognized the man dressed as an assassin in the distance.
There's nothing you can do with this map, and both of them know this.
Qisha also has a good relationship with Brother Long. Furthermore, this is not the first time he has met Xiaotan. Therefore, it is also impossible to expect him to underestimate the enemy.
The bright moon is thousands of miles away, and the murderous intention is endless.
The winners advance and the losers are eliminated. There is no retreat and no one will give in.
"Huh... Such a map, such an opponent... I must be in danger..." Xiao Tan adjusted his breathing and thought in his mind, "But..." He looked down at his hands, "Why?
I'm shaking with excitement... Could it be that deep down in my heart... I'm longing for such a battle..." (To be continued)
