Fang Yun naturally saw the worries of the players, but in his heart he really didn't panic at all.
Before the finals came, he ignored all the speculations about the content of the finals on the World Channel and left the study with the cup in hand.
First, he went to the water dispenser to refill a cup of hot tea. He took the tea cup to the balcony and looked at the heavy snow outside the window. His tense mood for a long time was relieved a little.
It's a pity that he couldn't enjoy this comfort for long.
After resting on the balcony for a while, he quickly returned to his study, put on his headphones and started making arrangements for the upcoming marathon final.
Time passed slowly with Fang Yun's constant arrangements and the expectations of countless players.
As 20 minutes passed, just as the time was approaching four o'clock in the afternoon, Qiancheng finally spoke to the world again.
"Good afternoon, friends!"
First he said hello, and while the players in the area responded excitedly one by one, he continued: "As you have expected, we will start the finals of the first Dream Marathon. For this time
I will explain the rules of the finals in detail next.”
“Coming, coming! #clap”
"Damn, it's obviously just a little racing game, why do I feel more excited than watching the Martial God Altar?"
"Nonsense! There are many Martial God altars every month. Where have you seen this kind of marathon with full participation in the server before?"
"It's a pity that I didn't make it into the top 100, otherwise we would have had to fight for three!"
"Do you think the rules of the finals will change? After all, if you want to avoid cheating, changing the competition system is definitely the best choice."
"It's only been half an hour. Where did you ask Brother Cheng to find a new competition system for you? Just give it a try!"
As Qiancheng announced the rules for the finals of this dream marathon, many players immediately cheered up, but some players were a little worried, fearing that cheating would occur if he continued to use the preliminary competition system.
Fang Yun was very clear about the expectations and concerns of the players, so after the warm-up, he directly said to him: "As for the rules of the finals, in order to avoid cheating, we have made some small-scale adjustments."
"First of all, this final no longer requires contestants to perform frequent check-in operations. Players only need to complete the check-in task in specific links."
"Secondly, this final is divided into two parts. The first part is the racing competition, and the second part I call it the 'challenge competition'!"
With the announcement of the finals format, all the players, including the contestants, who were looking forward to this moment were stunned.
"No...what's the deal with canceling the check-in? Doesn't this mean that you can cheat casually?"
"I was thinking just now that someone would definitely go to take photos with some NPCs in the finals in advance. I never thought that Brother Cheng would be better off and just come to the bottom of the cauldron to take some money..."
"I can't understand it, I really can't understand it."
"I said... isn't the point that this final was divided into two parts?"
"I understand the racing competition, but what is the challenge competition? Group PK?"
"No, my mind is a little messed up. I can't keep up with Brother Cheng's ideas at all..."
As Qiancheng announced that the check-in session would be cancelled, and that the content of the final would be divided into two parts, the players in Bianliang City were dumbfounded on the spot and could not understand his brain circuit at all.
Some contestants who advanced to the finals even asked Fang Yun directly through YY private messages whether the new rules of this finals would be complicated, trying to get some useful information out of him.
Fang Yun chose to turn a blind eye to all these private chats. After the World Channel died down for a while, he saw him speaking again.
"Please rest assured that canceling the check-in link does not mean giving up supervision. After the preliminary round, we immediately selected a total of 100 gang members from the Jinfeng Xiaoyulou and Liufenbantang gangs to do the
The supervisor is responsible for following the 100 finalists one-on-one and tracking the whole process!"
"Before the start of the game, each player must form his own team and add his assigned supervisor to the team. After the start of the game, every step of the player's actions must strictly abide by the rules of the game. Once he cheats, he will be
Disqualified on the spot!"
With the release of this new and rigorous rule, those who originally questioned the fairness of the final shut their mouths on the spot, while other players who had already trusted Qiancheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
"One-on-one supervision with the team, I would like to call this move a sure win!"
"Brother Cheng is worthy of being Brother Cheng. If you don't take action, you will be the king."
"You're laughing so hard! I think the lungs of those who went to check in with the NPC in advance are going to explode. Isn't this all in vain?"
"That's right! There were too many people in the preliminary round and large-scale supervision was not possible, so the only way for the contestants to check in and take a group photo was to prove themselves. However, there were only 100 people in the final.
Only a quarter of the quantity is needed to complete full monitoring!"
"Wonderful, this move is really wonderful!"
"Is there any brother who is the supervisor of this final? Chat with me privately, I want to chat with you..."
Fang Yun's trick of using his own gang to conduct one-to-one supervision really pissed off a lot of people. Compared with the easy-to-cheat check-in and photo taking, this method of using the gang to monitor the whole process is undoubtedly more reasonable.
Of course, reasonable is reasonable, but to say that this anti-cheating method is completely flawless is not necessarily true.
You must know that the rewards for the top three in this final are very generous. If any player is more flexible and uses half points or other methods to lure the supervisors, it is not impossible to bribe them.
And this is why Fang Yun chose to use players from his two gangs as supervisors.
It's hard to say for others, but Fang Yun is quite relieved about his own gang members.
It is said that all the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Today he can hold a huge Spring Festival party across the server, and tomorrow he can hold intra-gang activities in his two gangs with rewards that are no less than this party.
Even if it is for their own future sake, it is impossible for these selected gang members to help outsiders cheat.
Because once he is discovered, being kicked out of the notorious gang is a trivial matter. Once he is on the wanted list of the Qiancheng family, he will probably never be able to hang out in Bianliang City again in his life.
And just as the Bianliang City players were praising Qian Cheng's whimsical ideas, he soon spoke again.
"Also, as I said before, the content of this final is divided into two parts. I will announce the first half later, but the second half is not under my control. Each player's supervisor will review the contestants.
We will make an announcement within the team after completing the first half, so please forgive me."
"???"
"What's going on? We, the audience who co-authored this final, can't watch the whole thing?"
"What are you afraid of? When the time comes, just find a player to follow you all the way. Can you still lose him?"
"Let's not talk about the second half. Now I just want to know where the first half will be. I have to get a seat in advance."
"The preliminary round will be in Jianye, and the final will most likely be Chang'an. The other maps are not big enough."
"Hurry up, Brother Cheng, tell me what you want to say all at once, brothers can't wait!"
Knowing that the second half of the finals would be kept secret, some players who wanted to join in the fun were immediately unhappy.
However, with Qiancheng's one-on-one supervision in front of them, although these people were unhappy, they did not dare to speak out loud to avoid being slapped in the face again later.
Fang Yun didn't hesitate after seeing the players' urging, and immediately announced the rules and venue for the first half of the game.
"Now I announce that the venue for the first stage of this dream ultramarathon final is Chang'an City! All runners are asked to gather at the entrance of Chang'an Datang Palace as soon as possible and find their own supervisors to form a team!"
After officially announcing the venue and specific location of the first stage of the competition, Fang Yun ignored the instant explosion of the World Channel, quickly switched back to YY voice, and began to arrange supervisors for the 100 finalists with Sujiu and others.
After a while, as all 100 supervisors were arranged, Fang Yun switched back to the game and saw that the entrance to the Tang Dynasty Official Palace was already occupied by countless players who came to join in the fun. It was impossible to see who was there at a glance.
With whom.
Fortunately, they informed each player of the supervisor's ID in advance. In order to avoid any mistakes, most of these players made an appointment with their supervisor to meet in a remote place, and then returned to the starting point of the competition after forming a team.
Waiting for the official start of the finals.
Ten minutes later, as the last supervisor was announced to be in place, Fang Yun switched the window, looked at his trumpet hanging in the team of one of the contestants, and smiled slightly.
Yes, as the gang leader and chief referee of Jinfeng Xiaoyulou, he is also one of the supervisors of this marathon final.
Not only him, but also the managers such as Sujiu Beast Master could not escape this task. At this time, everyone opened their trumpets and hung among the players, waiting for the start of the game.
After all the supervisors were in place, Fang Yun first moved the supervision account's window to the left of the screen, then moved Qiancheng's window to the right, and then announced the route for the finals.
"The first half of our marathon finals will start from the official stone bridge of the Tang Dynasty and pass by the Gang Supervisor, Huasheng Temple, Fushou Store, Qianzhuang, Escort Agency, Yuanyang Temple, Chang'an Arena, Yunlai Hotel, and Zhangji Buzhuang.
, pawn shop, inn owner..."
"It should be noted that when arriving at Liuxiang Pavilion, the contestants need to enter the building to check in and take a photo with Xiao Taohong, and then continue passing Mingyue Bridge, Qin Mansion, Vice General Liu, Holiday Gift Messenger, Vice General Ma, and the Imperial College, and finally arrive at the first half of the journey
The final destination is Chang’an rooftop!”
All the routes were announced in one breath. While the players and contestants were in a daze, Fang Yun picked up the cup and "Gudu" and "Gudu" took a big sip of tea.
And soon, as everyone gradually recovered from this long route, the entire Bianliang City suddenly exploded!
"Damn it, this route... is too cruel?!"
"I just took a quick look. It basically goes around Chang'an City in a complete circle!"
"This is the right thing! Marathon, marathon, like Jianye's three-four-minute lap, how can it be considered a marathon?"
"Good news: the final is indeed in Chang'an. Bad news: the route is very cheating!"
"No, no, please wait a moment. Haven't you noticed that there is a BUG in this route?"
Such a long and complicated route really shocked many people, including the 100 runners. At this time, they couldn't help but scroll up the chat bar and save the route in a hurry.
After saving the route and studying it, someone soon discovered something was wrong.
"Um...Brother Cheng, I just took a look. The rest of this route is fine. It's the Chang'an Arena. Does it mean above the arena or below?"
Putting down the cup, Fang Yun looked at a question sent by a player in a private chat, and couldn't help but reveal a smirk on his face.
He put his hand on the keyboard and quickly entered a line of text.
[World] Qiancheng: "Someone just asked me whether to walk from the top or bottom of the Chang'an Arena on this route. Let me explain here, you must walk from the top. Anyone who walks from the bottom will be disqualified!"
"I wipe?! #STARE"
"No...this is a marathon race against time, and the contestants are actually allowed to walk from the ring?!"
"Excuse me! Brother Cheng is acting inappropriately again!"
"I won't say anything anymore. I'm going to the ring now! Is there anyone who wants to form a group?"
"I'll go too! Since I didn't make it to the finals, I have to at least make some trouble!"
"It's really too bad! This is because I am afraid that some runners will run too fast and deliberately create obstacles."
"I like this! That's how a marathon should be. What's the point of running stupidly? It's enough to have some luck!"
As this cheating rule was announced by Qian Cheng, those players who failed to make it to the finals and people who were just having fun immediately became excited, and they all clamored to go to the ring to cause trouble.
But the expressions of the 100 finalists changed at this moment, and they almost turned Qian Cheng into a dog in their hearts!
This Qiancheng is really unbeatable when it comes to being a good person...
However, although this rule is cheating, none of the 100 finalists withdrew, not even one who came to Fang Yun to protest.
The reason is simple. Although the Chang'an Arena, the only way to the finals, is a huge uncertainty, it also creates countless possibilities.
Maybe a certain player was originally lagging behind, but because of the existence of the Chang'an Arena, those players who were ahead of him may be trapped in place, and at this time he can use this to complete overtaking.
Of course, if you can overtake others, you can also overtake them, but because of this, many players find it more exciting.
Just like those onlookers said, what's the point of running stupidly? Frequent accidents can better reflect the spirit of competition, and at the same time, it can also make this already highly anticipated marathon final more exciting.
Just like that, as the detailed rules of the Chang'an Marathon finals were announced, and under the joint expectations of all players and contestants, Fang Yun glanced at the time and found that it would be four o'clock in one minute, so he immediately left a message in the chat box
Enter a line of text on the screen, wait until the time reaches four o'clock, and press Enter to select send.
"I announce that the first half of this Chang'an Marathon Finals has officially begun!"
As soon as he said these words, the 100 players who had been preparing for a long time on the stone bridge in front of the Tang Dynasty official palace suddenly became excited, and then they all ran away like wild horses running wild!
