Chapter 1117 Arriving at the Magic City, checking out the points before the game
After chatting with everyone for a while, he told them that his group would go to the Magic City two days before the finals. Fang Yun did not continue to argue, and controlled the character to start today's sect mission.
The second Fantasy Westward Journey All-Star Competition is in full swing, and players in the game are also affected by it. They always mention it in one or two words. In addition, today is New Year's Day, and the overall atmosphere is really like the Chinese New Year.
As the representative of Bianliang City, what Qiancheng's disciples did today was a difficult one.
No matter where he goes, he will be discovered by the players in the area immediately, and then they will quickly surround him. All kinds of problems will come to him, and many of them, like the gang members of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, have already done their best.
Ready to watch the game offline.
Facing such a passionate scene, even though Fang Yun was experienced, he was still a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, most players simply want to cheer for their team. After all, the Qiancheng team represents the face of Bianliang City this time. In addition, it is still an offline competition, so no one dares to cause trouble at this time.
While responding to the expectations of the players in Bianliang City, Fang Yun was working as a sect, but secretly sighed in his heart. It didn't seem like a wise choice for him to choose this time to go online as a sect...
Feeling a little regretful, he speeded up and after completing Qiancheng's division, he immediately switched to other accounts and began to prepare for the offline competition five days later.
The previous two days of the group stage consumed some of their medicines and transformation cards. Fortunately, the officials had already considered this and allowed the promoted teams to replenish their supplies after the group stage, as long as they completed the final transfer before the deadline.
At this time, in addition to him, Sujiu Beast Master and others were also online. At this time, they were preparing materials for the finals just like him. Presumably the other players who were promoted to the team were also similar.
After everyone had replenished their supplies, Fang Yun gathered everyone together and performed another file transfer. The preparations for the offline finals were almost completed.
…
Three days later.
Shanghai Pudong Airport.
Pushing the suitcase, Fang Yun yawned and followed Beast Master and others slowly towards the outside of the airport along with the crowd.
Today is January 4, 2009, two days before the start of the All-Star Offline Tournament.
As the start of the competition is approaching, all the teams that have been shortlisted for the offline competition are now meeting in the Magic City. Fang Yun and the others are no exception. After resting in the capital for a few days, they finally arrived in the Magic City today.
"Don't mention it, although the temperature in this magical city is not high, it is much better than the capital city."
A moment later, as everyone walked out of the airport lobby and came to the parking area, feeling the temperature in the magic city that was more than ten degrees warmer than the capital city, Master Beast put a cigarette in his mouth and sighed.
Fang Yun nodded when he heard this. After all, Magic City is a southern city, and it is located in the Yangtze River Delta. In terms of livability, it is definitely more comfortable than the capital city.
Although Fang Yun's base camp is in the capital, he has not neglected his investment in the Magic City. Since last year, he has asked Fang Zheng to bring a large amount of money to clean buildings here.
Because he has no intention of settling here, Fang Yun's main targets for house sweeping are some shops in prime locations. Of course, he will also grab some private houses with high investment value, such as Tang Chen, which is known as the "first luxury house in the country"
First grade.
Many people think that domestic housing prices took off in 2008, but the reality is exactly the opposite.
This year, the country is in the middle of a real estate winter. Many real estate companies are trying hard to discount and promote to save their lives. High-end residential properties like Tangchen Yipin, which had an opening price of 11 W, have been even more affected. For a long time
There are no transaction records.
Since last year, Tangchen Yipin, which claims to "never cut prices", finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to make price concessions. In the end, Fang Yun only spent less than 70,000 per square meter to buy several sets that had already been purchased in his previous life.
The price has risen to 270,000 super mansions per square meter.
I have to admit that buying a house in this era is really worry-free, because there are no purchase restrictions. Whether in Beijing or Shanghai, Fang Yun can easily buy the house he likes. The key is that the quantity is not limited.
Unfortunately, because the venue for the All-Star offline competition they were going to participate in this time was relatively remote, located in a sports center on the outskirts of Magic City, and Fang Yun and the others came to Magic City in large numbers this time, they could only choose to play in
A star hotel was booked near the venue.
Everyone who arrived outside the airport stood on the roadside and waited for a while. When Sujiu finished making the call, they saw three black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles slowly driving up to everyone.
These three cars were naturally sent by the hotel. As a major customer who had booked all the top suites in their hotel in one go, the hotel certainly did not dare to neglect and had already set the time before they took off. As soon as they landed,
The pick-up vehicle is already waiting.
With the help of the driver, they put all the luggage into the trunk. Fang Yun and the others got into the commercial vehicle and drove quickly towards the hotel under the driver's smooth driving.
"Is this the Magic City? This is my first time here."
Sitting next to Fang Yun, he was obviously of the same age, but Li Sitong acted like a curious baby, looking out the window with interest, curious about everything he looked at.
Fang Yun, on the other hand, was just the opposite of her. As soon as he got in the car, he sat down on his chair and squinted his eyes, like an old monk in trance, planning to catch up on some more sleep.
As a reborn person, although the Magic City is not his base camp, he has visited it often due to work in his previous life, so naturally there is nothing new in his heart.
Half an hour later, as the Mercedes-Benz business car slowly drove into the downstairs of a luxury hotel, Fang Yun, who was half asleep, immediately woke up. He opened the car door without waiting for the doorman to come over, stepped out of the car and stretched.
After everyone else got off the bus one by one, under the leadership of the waiter, everyone walked into the magnificent hotel lobby. After registering at the front desk, they followed the elevator to the top floor of the hotel.
"I'll live in 1601, and you can make up your own mind. This floor belongs to us, so you can live wherever you like."
Standing in front of the door of Suite 1601, Fang Yun gave instructions to everyone, then opened the door and walked in.
Beast Master has been clamoring to sleep in the same room with Fang Yun, but unfortunately he refused ruthlessly. The reason is very simple. This guy snores in his sleep, and the sound is very loud.
The others didn't talk nonsense. After choosing a room, they went inside to pack their luggage. After everyone packed their luggage and rested for a while, the sky outside gradually became dark.
We went to the restaurant on the fifth floor of the hotel to have dinner together. Since it was the first day in Shanghai and this was not the city center, we didn’t have the intention of going out for a stroll, so we went back to the house to rest early.
…
The next day.
Awakened by Beast Master's phone calls early in the morning, Fang Yun reluctantly got out of bed, went to the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into a set of thinner clothes and walked out of the suite.
Everyone made an appointment yesterday to go to the competition venue to check out the spots together today. Now everyone is more energetic after last night's rest, but Fang Yun is the last one to show up.
After having a hearty breakfast in the restaurant, everyone went downstairs and got into the commercial vehicle arranged by the hotel, and quickly drove towards the Pinewood Sports Center, the venue for their All-Star competition.
Not long after, as the commercial vehicle drove to the vicinity of a slightly old-looking gymnasium, and looking at the gradually denser flow of people around it, Fang Yun and everyone knew that the destination had arrived.
After asking the driver to park the car on the side of the road, Fang Yun and everyone got out of the car and slowly walked along the sidewalk to the venue in front of the stadium.
At this time, because the Songlin Stadium is about to host the first Fantasy All-Star offline competition, the original old door has been specially repackaged by NetBill. Everywhere you look is filled with inflatable posters and all-star models that are closely related to Fantasy Westward Journey.
slogan.
Although the game will officially start tomorrow, many players have already come to check in at the entrance of the stadium to join in the fun. All the inflatable models have been surrounded and taken various photos by the players.
Fang Yun and others behaved very low-key. They immediately joined the crowd after arriving at the venue in front of the stadium. They acted like tourists and everything they saw was new.
"Hey, this Troll King is so domineering. After the game, I have to get one and take it home."
Standing in front of an inflatable model in the shape of a Troll King, Beast Master's eyes lit up and he wanted to snatch the balloon home right then and there.
Girls like Li Sitong, Liu Ximeng, etc. were surrounding the models such as Xuan Cai'e Wu Tianji, looking as excited as Beast Master. Meng Ge even took out his Leica camera and started taking pictures wildly.
Seeing the excitement of these guys, Fang Yun was a little speechless, thinking where was this going?
Today is not a competition day. Many precious hand models and the most important cospaly ladies are not here. To put it bluntly, those on display are the least valuable.
When the competition officially starts tomorrow, Fang Yun estimates that these guys will be able to climax directly. After all, strictly speaking, this is the first time that NetEase has held an offline competition. For all players who love fantasy, this is the top feast!
Ignoring these noobs who were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Fang Yun came to the door of the gymnasium, looked at the busy staff inside and the security guards at the door, took out his mobile phone and called Xiaoqing.
Not a minute after hanging up the phone, a woman with her legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings and a light gray business suit hurriedly ran out of the gym.
"Isn't this woman cold?"
Looking at the woman running towards him in a hurry, Fang Yun's first attention was not on her appearance, but on what she was wearing.
Although the Magic City is much warmer than the capital city, it is still January after all, and the highest temperature in the Magic City is less than 10 degrees. The other party's clothes are so beautiful that it is freezing, and it can be said that you will catch a cold in a matter of minutes.
But the other party didn't seem to feel the coldness at all. After trotting all the way to Fang Yun's side, his beautiful eyes widened in a circle, and he asked incredulously: "You...are you Qian Yun?"
City God?"
"That's right, but just call me Qiancheng, so you don't have to take me with you, Master."
Nodding lightly, Fang Yun had already expected the other party's reaction. After all, when he met Ah Zi offline for the first time, the other party's reaction was similar to that of Xiao Qing in front of him.
After confirming that the handsome young man in front of him was really the Qiancheng who had killed countless people in the Martial God Altar, even though Xiaoqing was well-informed, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.
The gap between Qiancheng's real image and her expectation is too big!
However, she responded quickly. Although she was extremely shocked, she did not remain silent. She immediately extended her hand enthusiastically and said: "Hello Qiancheng, I am your exclusive customer service Xiaoqing. Next, I will take you to familiarize yourself with tomorrow."
Is the competition venue okay?”
"OK."
Nodding again, Fang Yun turned around and waved to Beast Master and others who were taking photos with various inflatable models, and then entered the gymnasium under the leadership of Xiao Qing.
Fang Yun and his team came to the All-Stars this time with a lot of team members. As a 'tour guide', Xiao Qing was very worried and wanted to ask them for their IDs one by one.
After all, anyone who has played Fantasy these days has almost all heard of the name Bianliang City, and now this group of people is the backbone of Bianliang City, the legendary 'Nine Crowns' team!
But she resisted not asking, and instead introduced the various facilities of the competition venue to everyone in a very professional manner, as well as all the details that need to be paid attention to in tomorrow's competition.
Compared with the slightly lake-like venue outside, the fantasy elements inside the stadium are obviously much richer.
The entire stadium is divided into three areas, the largest of which is the viewing area. At this time, densely packed seats have been arranged. You can imagine how lively it will be when it is filled with people tomorrow.
In front of the viewing area is a very spacious stage with a height of half a meter. At the top of the stage, four rows of four rows of five-seat computers have been set up. Tomorrow's quarter-final round-robin will be held on these computers.
There is a huge screen hanging on the wall deep in the stage, and the content of tomorrow's game will be broadcast to the audience in real time through the entire screen.
The last area is the contestant lounge behind the stage. If nothing else, contestants like Fang Yun will spend most of their time here on the competition day.
Everything inside the stadium, whether it is the viewing area or the competition area, is surrounded by fantasy elements. The twelve character flags of Fantasy Westward Journey are flying above the heads of the viewing area, and the top eight finalists are hung on both sides above the stage.
The server name looks very impressive.
Because the competition has not officially started yet, apart from the staff, there are only contestants like Fang Yun and others inside the stadium at this time. Spectators and tourists will have to wait until tomorrow to enter.
To be honest, even Fang Yun, a reborn person, did not expect that this world's billionaires would hold an offline competition for the first time, but they would be so generous and the scale would be far larger than he imagined.
Take this competition venue as an example. Although the location is a little remote and the stadium is a bit old, compared to the first offline competition held by NetEase in the previous life, it was as shabby as an Internet cafe competition. Now this offline competition is both budget and scale.
They are all proper dimensionality reduction attacks.
However, if you think about it, you can understand that the fantasy of this world is not the same as that of the previous life. Both the number of players and the amount of attention are not at the same level.
Now that they have finally made up their mind to hold an offline competition, they naturally want to be an instant success, so they must have a very generous budget and are not afraid of losing money at all.
