After yesterday's one-day single qualifier, all nine members of Chutian passed without incident and all entered the second round.
It’s not that we have to continue the second round of team competition selection today. Given the temperament of Hao Ying and Xu Ting, a few noisy little girls, I’m afraid they had to celebrate until very late yesterday before going to bed.
Fortunately, Sister Hong, a mature beauty who is both sister and mother, suppresses her.
As soon as I went online today, I formed a team with Sister Hong, Feng Yun, Hao Ying, and Xu Ting, and the group hurriedly rushed to the teleportation array.
I found that if the Big Eight said the day before yesterday, there is an additional option to teleport to the Gray Tower in the teleportation array.
Without hesitation, they collectively chose to teleport. When they saw things clearly again, they found that they had arrived at the hall where they arrived last time.
“Changes so fast”
When Chu Tian heard this, he looked at his body. He didn't expect the system to be so perfect this time. When they just teleported to this hall, everyone had become the image of black stick figures. Chu Tian's own number was still 120.
Sighing: "I hope Wenwen remembers what she wants to say to Kanna and the others."
Sister Hong comforted: "Xiaotian, you really dote on Wenwen. She is far more powerful than you think."
Chu Tian scratched his head: "But I still can't help but care about her."
My leg hurt. Someone kicked me from the right side. When I turned my head to look around, I found Feng Yun standing there. The kicked leg had just been retracted.
There is no face on the black ball, and Feng Yun's expression cannot be seen. She can only hear her slightly annoyed saying: "I'm jealous."
Chu Tian smiled bitterly and made a helpless gesture of spreading his hands.
Hao Ying smiled and took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "Sister Yun is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."
Thanks to Sister Hong and the others, they covered their mouths and chuckled.
Everyone knows that Feng Yun dotes on Wenwen as much as Chu Tian. How could she really be jealous of that little girl with a heart as pure as water?
After a while, there were more and more players in the lobby, but everyone had the image of a black stickman. Except for teammates who could recognize their own team and communicate in the team channel, it was impossible to communicate with other teams.
So even though there were a lot of people in the hall, it was completely silent unlike last time. It was a bit scary.
"Qiang Qiang Laqiang, this time my succubus Xiao Tiantian will explain to everyone the upcoming competition. Everyone warmly applauds and welcomes you"
A figure suddenly appeared in the white light beam behind the altar.
Chu Tian recognized this person as the succubus introduced by the host during the private performance last time. He said he wanted to have a fight with the cold-blooded cavalry, but he didn't realize for a moment that the other party was an NPC or played by a famous game host.
Chi~~~ Tens of thousands of people stared at this little succubus in silence at the same time, making the atmosphere in the entire hall a bit weird.
It’s just that this succubus who calls herself Xiao Tiantian doesn’t care at all, and is still making trouble there. Seeing that no one responds, she pretends to be crying, clenches her hands into fists, rubs her beautiful bright red eyes that have no tears at all, and sobs: “
No one cares about me, Xiao Tiantian is so sad."
Still no one paid attention to her, but she quickly cheered up again and encouraged herself: "But Xiao Tiantian is Xiao Tiantian, and she won't be knocked down by such a trivial matter. Yes, that's it, everyone."
Good! Nice to meet you all.”
Everyone was wondering who did she recognize?
Now from her height, it can be seen that they are all a huge black mass of identical stick figures. Is she saying that she is very happy to meet the stick figures?
But the succubus Xiao Tiantian didn't pay attention to such a small thing. She flapped her dark red devil wings and picked up the stick in her hand that might be a microphone: "I believe everyone is in a hurry. I'll cut the story short and start the competition directly.
introduce"
Pointing her hand behind her, a beam of light followed the movement of her right hand and hit the wall at the end of the hall, shining directly on the eight doors.
"I believe you have all seen that these eight doors are the entrance for everyone to start the second round of selection. They represent the eight directions on the first level. Each team can choose the direction they like to enter. But don't get me wrong. The position that appears after entering.
It's still random, but the random position is more in the direction you choose. The first thirty-two teams that reach the tenth floor will pass this competition. That's all. I know that many people are already anxious to think about it.
It’s about to begin, then my referee Xiao Tiantian will announce here..."
"The second elimination round of the team competition is official! Begin!"
Seeing the teleportation door that opened as Xiao Tiantian finished speaking, everyone rushed in and were teleported away one after another and disappeared into this hall.
Only a few teams are still staying in Chutian, and their A team is one of them.
"Sister Hong, which direction do you think is better for us to go?"
Chutian asked a very crucial question
Sister Hong: "It would be better if you ask Xiaoyun"
Feng Yun said: "If you ask me, go to the east."
"reason?"
"Does everything start from the east?"
"..."
In the end, no good judgment method could be found. With the support of Feng Yun's excuse, which was not a reason, they collectively moved to the east gate and became the last team to leave this hall.
After entering, I discovered that the venue for the second competition was actually a huge maze.
Sister Hong suddenly became nervous: "Don't stay too far apart, be careful of getting separated."
Everyone understands and has brought the distance between us closer.
The scariest thing about a place like a maze is that once you get separated, there is no hope of getting back together. What's more, there is no map support here, and it relies purely on the player's intuition and memory.
There is no opportunism in the first level of the maze. It relies more on luck. Until you find the entrance to the next level, everything is empty talk.
In the process of searching for the entrance to the next level, Chutian and the others easily eliminated many separated single players and reunited them with their teammates. They also directly eliminated two powerful teams.
However, none of the five people were happy about this kind of thing, because when they and other players were doing their ink, there might have been players rushing to a very high level. The first, second, and third floors were the most chaotic places in the game, and gathered for this game.
The player with the most players can break through this obstacle and enter the fourth floor or above. I believe that as the number of floors goes up, there will be fewer players there, and the more players can feel at ease and slowly find the entrance to the next floor.
Early advantage greatly affects a player's later achievements
There was no map, no prompts, so the five of them had no choice but to wander around trying their luck, and some of the players they happened to encounter were unlucky.
After turning left and right, they actually discovered something special in the maze.
Iron Giant!
At first, I thought it was just a cast-iron statue. I didn't pay much attention when it passed by. It wasn't until the giant hammer in its hand hit Xu Ting. Xu Ting quickly dodged it that she realized that this was not a beautiful statue but a statue.
The steel golem is also commonly known as a monster by players!
Chu Tian and Feng Yun looked at each other and nodded, and rushed towards the demon statue. Sister Hong, Xu Ting, and Hao Ying also understood immediately and hurriedly followed to help.
Under the combined efforts of five people, this steel golem, which was just an ordinary high-level monster, instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal, revealing a new passage guarded behind it.
Everyone was happy to know that they guessed correctly
If you haven't encountered it before, you should be killed by other players.
If you guessed correctly, the route guarded by these mechanism monsters should be the passage leading to the entrance to the next level.
After that, they killed two machine monsters guarding the road, and everyone found what seemed to be a portal leading to the next level.
Depicting a golden white stone frame, a very soft lavender light diffuses from the doorway that rotates clockwise in a vortex, printing the three walls at the end of this passage in pink.
"Which one to choose?"
Chu Tian asked everyone’s doubts
No wonder he asked that
Because there were two portals placed in front of them! It is not difficult to imagine that one must lead to the next floor and the other to return to the initial lobby. This is a common trick used by many games.
Hao Ying didn't even think about it but said: "Left!"
Chu Tian understood: "Okay, let's go to the right."
Hao Ying was dissatisfied: "Why!"
Chu Tian raised his shoulders and walked towards the portal on the right first, saying: "Because judging from the fact of your black claws, your intuition is definitely inaccurate. So thinking from another angle, the choice is opposite to your answer.
The result is definitely correct."
Sister Hong, Feng Yun, and Xu Ting followed with a faint smile, feeling that what Chu Tian said was reasonable.
Hao Ying could only stomp her feet in place and followed them in.
After entering, I saw the big "二" painted on the wall and knew they had entered the right place.
Poor Hao Ying became even more depressed when she saw this situation and fell to the end of the team, muttering: "Black claws, black claws, black claws..." full of resentment.
Compared with the first floor, the second floor is much cleaner, and there are more intersections guarded by machine monsters, which means that there are not many players who have entered the second floor. Since entering the second floor, I have not encountered a player who has this situation.
The facts are evident
Chutian and the others were overjoyed when they found out about this situation. Knowing this was definitely good news.
With this motivation, they worked hard to clear out the machine monsters guarding the intersection, looking for the portal hidden somewhere in the maze.
The hard work paid off, and they didn't even think it would take them a while to find them.
From the time they entered the lobby to the time they passed through the defense lines on the first and second floors and were about to enter the third floor, it only took half an hour!
"Xiaoying, tell me which door to enter?"
Hao Ying was depressed. They all used her as a portal authenticity detector. She said angrily: "On the left."
This time, there was no need for Chu Tian to remind everyone. Everyone also walked towards the portal on the right.
But I don’t know if it’s the extreme joy that brings sadness, or Hao Ying’s resentment finally took effect.
The five of them actually failed to enter the third level as they wished, and instead returned to the first level of the maze!
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the big "one" on the wall, including Hao Ying who was responsible for providing opinions.
