Chapter 327: City of Suffering, Big City Competition
.Chapter 327: City of Suffering Ayutthaya Competition
The arena competition has entered the third day. After the warm-up of the "Small City Competition" and "Midtown Competition" in the previous two days, the third day ushered in the first ** day since the start of the arena competition.
Although it is not a normal rest day, today's online rate is still astonishingly high. According to statistics from the relevant responsible departments afterwards, the online rate on this day broke the previous record of the highest player online rate on working days by more than twice. It seems that this day
, there are definitely not just one or two white-collar workers who try their best to skip work.
Compared with the enthusiasm of spectators, the number of players waiting for the game is unprecedented.
It was less than eight o'clock in the morning, and the online volume of players in various major cities in the system reached a state of tension. As the number of players continued to increase, the system even had to temporarily close the remote transmission function of various major cities, and only accepted medium-sized players in the area under its jurisdiction.
Transmission permit submitted by the city.
But even so, the skyrocketing crowds show no signs of slowing down at all. If you walk around any large city, you will have the immersive feeling of going back to hundreds of years ago to squeeze in the "Spring Festival Transport" again~
Liu Yifei and the two young assassins returned to Storm Fortress in advance yesterday to inquire about the promotion status of other people in the Star Wars Mercenary Group. Later, they simply did not return to the Plague City and went directly to a small hotel in the City of Misery.
A room was originally offline.
After going online again, Liu Yifei naturally appeared in the room he had ordered. He walked around briefly, checked his situation and everything was OK, and then walked out of the room.
Just as he left the independent space, Liu Yifei was suddenly frightened by the oncoming sound, and almost fell back into the house without even turning around~
However, although the sound was quite loud at this moment, there were no players in the hotel's stairs and corridors. Liu Yifei felt strange, so he muttered "What the hell" and walked straight out.
When Liu Yifei arrived outside the hotel, he finally understood what the terrifying sound was about~
"There are so many people here? There is no place to stay here. Where can I go?" As soon as he walked out of the hotel door, Liu Yifei was almost staggered by the crowd of people around him. When he calmed down a little,
All of a sudden, he was already being squeezed by the crowd and "walking" in an inexplicable direction.
"Really? Is it such an exaggeration? Could it be that players from the surrounding areas have collectively poured into the City of Misery? How could it be so outrageous?"
No wonder Liu Yifei was surprised.
Although every large city is said to have a large territory that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, the meaning of "accommodation" actually refers to how wide the surrounding land is, how many monsters there are, and how many players can support online leveling.
,Task.
The city itself can only serve as a transportation transfer station, constantly welcoming players, providing them with necessary services, and indicating their adventure goals.
If hundreds of thousands of players are really allowed to squeeze into a city at the same time and squat still, I am afraid that the traffic in any system city will be paralyzed instantly. After all, this is not a metropolis in reality. A city wall can surround it.
The territory you can rise to is limited.
However, now, if someone tells Liu Yifei that the City of Misery is "accommodating" hundreds of thousands of players, Liu Yifei will not be surprised at all~ He has walked a distance of half a street back and forth, looking in any direction
There are huge crowds of people, and it’s a scene as far as the eye can see.
If we really encountered such a situation in reality, I'm afraid that a large number of people would be squeezed to death just by squeezing~
Just when Liu Yifei was smiling bitterly, not knowing how to leave the crowd and enter the competition area, suddenly a familiar sound of system prompts sounded in his ears, and then Liu Yifei received a new notification from the system, saying that the group competition attracted too many players.
As a result, the traffic in many large cities in the game world was paralyzed, which was not conducive to the timely arrival of the contestants.
To this end, the game mastermind has now temporarily granted participating players the right to teleport to the scene based on the specific planning of the "Special Situation Emergency Response Policy".
As long as they apply to the system and pass the identity verification, players can be transported directly to the competition location within a certain area without having to walk slowly as before.
At the same time, the system also solemnly declares that this newly launched function is only valid for participating players during this competition. If non-participating players or eliminated players maliciously submit applications, they will be severely punished by the system.
This system prompt came in a very timely manner. Otherwise, given the current situation, if Liu Yifei really had to squeeze all the way to the stadium, next spring would be almost over by the time he arrives, let alone the competition.
It's just that Liu Yifei has always been curious. Everything mentioned above is clear, but the last sentence of "severe punishment" is quite ambiguous.
What kind of punishment is considered severe punishment?
Dropped a level? Dropped equipment? Kicked offline?
While Liu Yifei was having sex out of boredom, not far from him, a middle-aged man who looked like he was just a few pedestrians away suddenly screamed, and then the "bang" sound turned into...
There was a big red-butt monkey sitting on the ground with a big sign above his head and the words "Boring Man" written on it.
The image design of this big monkey is really too classic and cartoonish. It is extremely ugly and cannot be moved at will. The monkey face is still the player's original embarrassing face, and just above the cartoon monkey image, a long
The ten-minute countdown is slowly beating...
Almost at the same time, the whole street was transformed with bang bang bang bang bang sounds. When the white smoke dissipated, there were all kinds of strange creatures in the scene.
There is a pig with a sign, a dog with a sign, a panda with a sign, and even a Miss Rabbit with a sign~
What's even more tragic is that the player's face in the image of Miss Rabbit is obviously the face of a bearded uncle...
The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then in the next moment, a burst of unimaginably loud laughter burst out over the City of Misery.
When Liu Yifei just walked out of the hotel room, he was staggered by the sound. Compared with the laughter in this life, it was nothing at all~
Liu Yifei was also confused by this extremely funny scene, and then he smiled helplessly in the crowd~ These game programmers are really funny, they can actually come up with such a ridiculous method to "remind" players to obey
rule.
After laughing for a while, Liu Yifei felt that his intestines were about to twitch. He had no choice but to immediately submit a transfer application to the system, and then he turned into light and left this happy place full of "laughter and laughter".
When the white light in front of him dissipated, Liu Yifei saw the same lively scene. However, compared to the chaos outside, this place was obviously much more spacious, and the scene was only hectic and not out of control.
Those who can gather here must be the contestants of this city of suffering city competition. However, as soon as Liu Yifei raised his head, he immediately saw many people in the crowd, their clothes and hats were skewed and looked in a state of embarrassment. He probably guessed that
Maybe he had just experienced the same experience as himself before he got away from the other party...
"Hey~ where is the dagger?"
Seeing the players around him casting doubts, surprises, or stares at him one after another, Liu Yifei immediately remembered that he had forgotten to wear his hood before. After hurriedly putting on his big cap, Liu Yifei swung around.
After arriving at another place, he began to carefully contact the young assassin.
"Hey~ Brother Yun just came up. Your mental quality is really not as strong as usual. Thinking of the big city competition starting today, I was so excited that it would be fine before six o'clock in the morning. By six-thirty, I really couldn't stand it any longer, so I had to go early.
It's online." The little assassin's still excited voice came from the other end.
"Holy shit, you're so crazy! You shouldn't have any opponents in the City of Suffering, right? Even if there are two, can't you keep the top twenty? What are you so excited about?
If you want to be excited, others should be excited. It is true that those who pray to God and worship Buddha should not meet you, a murderer~
Since our videos were released, aren't you the one who has been admired the most? There are rows of bosses in front of you. Who would be willing to stand in front of you if they don't have the strength to challenge the boss alone?
Liu Yifei immediately joked.
"Uh... haha, I can't tell~ I felt a little irritable at first and couldn't sleep, so I just ran up. It happened that Steel Blade was also online, so I ran to play two more games with him.
After a while, a few more people came up. Everyone suggested coming to the city first, so we came~
But as soon as I arrived in the city, I found that it was not bright yet and there were already so many people, so I started to feel nervous. As time went on, I became more and more nervous. In the end, I had to hide here and keep out of sight."
"I'll go~ You kid, don't you have stage fright?" Liu Yifei suddenly said after hearing what the little assassin said.
To be honest, the little assassin is just a boy who has just turned eighteen and is only a freshman in college. A child of this age has really come out of the ivory tower.
In the past, no matter how dangerous things were, they were just done by a few of their "acquaintances". Even if they made a fool of themselves, no outsiders would laugh at them. What's more, in the heart of the little assassin, he always felt that his
Brother Yun is the strongest player. As long as he is present, even if he is in danger, he can successfully rescue him~
And this time, in addition to the complete disappearance of the fuse-like sense of security in his heart due to the single-player professional arena competition, the more obvious difference is that there are a large number of "audiences"
Once there is any mistake in the action, it will be seen by everyone in an instant ~ the jokes caused by that will not disappear in a day or two.
"Um...it seems a bit..."
Liu Yifei originally mentioned it as a joke, but after thinking about it for a while, he discovered that the little assassin really might have stage fright.
And confidence is the hardest thing to say~
If you have it, you will have the ambition to poke holes in the sky. If you don’t have it, even things that you can handle will be messed up.
The more he thought about it, the more Liu Yifei felt that the little assassin's situation might be quite sensitive right now. If he were asked to think more deeply, God knows whether he would make a mistake or have an accident.
After all, although the assassin professional arena competition is short, it is also the most intense and exciting.
A successful assassin's essential ability is to discover the opponent's mistakes and weak links. Once the little assassin makes a mistake, as long as the opponent's level is not too far behind him, it is not impossible to seize an opportunity to counterattack the little assassin.
The only thing Liu Yifei can do at the moment is not to talk too much nonsense about "believe in yourself" to the little assassin. Those plots that can make people forget about tension and build self-confidence are completely the same as in novels and movies. Liu Yifei can do it.
The purpose is to fool the little assassin as much as possible to make him completely forget his nervousness. When he actually takes the stage, Liu Yifei believes that the little assassin's fighting instinct will guide him to complete the next battle.
Confidence is something that can be cultivated naturally as long as you experience the same scene twice more, without the need for empty words to support it.
After arriving at the location of the young assassin, Liu Yifei discovered that not only Suoklan's eyes were present in the territory, but Xiaocao and others on the roadside were also present, and even most of the people in the mercenary group were present.
After exchanging greetings with Tower Shield, Steel Blade, Yao Fei, and others, Liu Yifei also joined the group discussion and kept trying to deflect the topic, hoping to make the little assassin think less about what he had and what he didn't have.
matter.
It's just that it's not just the little assassin who is enveloped in the tense atmosphere right now. Except for a few very courageous leaders in the group, almost everyone has a sad look on their face, as if what's coming next is not some kind of competition in the ring.
It's like sending someone to death~
Depressed, Liu Yifei had no choice but to ask what they were worried about. After asking, he found out that compared to Liu Yifei's ignorance and fearlessness, the Star Wars Mercenary Group had deliberately collected detailed information on the opponents they might encounter.
of
After the previous two days of competition, a large number of exciting battle videos were posted on the forum by players of all races. As long as you spend the energy to search carefully, you can actually collect too much useful information~
The intelligence work of the Star Wars Mercenary Group is even more thorough.
In addition to sending people to collect all kinds of useful information on the forum and organize it, they also sent a lot of people to other small and medium-sized cities under the jurisdiction of the City of Misery to collect a lot of first-hand information.
Judging from the feedback, this time the big city competition in the City of Misery may not be as easy and smooth as Liu Yifei imagined.
What is certain at present is that among the huge group of participating players with a base of hundreds of thousands, there are at least hundreds or thousands of people with quite powerful abilities, and some of them are the pinnacle experts in various fields.
Completely on the same level as Liu Yifei, there may not be many super strong people like the Little Assassin, but there are also many people who can threaten them. If they don't face the arena competition seriously and carefully, I'm afraid even Liu Yifei may not be in trouble.
Possibility of defeat...
Seeing that the people around him became more and more worried as they talked, and some even started to feel anxious, Liu Yifei knew that he could not let the little assassin stay with these people any longer, otherwise God knows how much the little assassin's confidence would drop before the game started~
Fortunately, there was still the matter of Qianfeng Hidden Moon, so Liu Yifei simply suggested that the young assassin accompany him to continue searching to see if he could meet that guy Qianfeng Hidden Moon again. He said that he would try to persuade him to join the plague today.
come among the groups in the city.
After successfully abducting the little assassin, Liu Yifei began to take him around the venue, chatting about random things while walking around, and even commented on some random players he saw on the road wearing ugly clothes.
The equipment also started to be commented upon~
Liu Yifei would definitely not engage in such extremely gossipy things on weekdays, but now in order to relieve the little assassin's nervousness, Liu Yifei didn't mind gossiping for a while~
In the end, the two were still unable to find Hidden Wind and Hidden Moon among the huge group of participating players. Seeing that the time was approaching, the two of them walked towards their own competition venues.
When they broke up, Liu Yifei specially gave the little assassin a few words, saying that with his ability, it would not be a big problem to compete for the top four in the national competition. There was no need to worry too much in such a big city level competition, as long as he kept calm.
In your state of mind, just perform normally~
Liu Yifei didn't know if the little assassins heard what he said, but Liu Yifei had done everything he could and could say. All he could do now was pray that everything went well for the little assassins~
To be honest, taking the opportunity of this competition, Liu Yifei really wanted to examine the specific strength of each member of his team.
Although there are many unexpected situations during the competition, it is always a relatively objective evaluation, and it can also give a rough look at who among the team members works harder~
"Oops, I forgot about Huangquan."
It's okay not to be a team member or something. When he thought about it, Liu Yifei suddenly slapped his forehead~ Ever since he met the little assassin yesterday, all he could think about was the little assassin. He had planned to arrive in the City of Misery today.
I was going to check on the situation in Huangquan later. I didn’t expect that in order to relax for the little assassin, I actually completely forgot about that girl Huangquan.
By the way, since that girl learned most of the Masked Warrior's skills, Liu Yifei has never seen her engage in a serious battle, and he doesn't know if her promotion went smoothly in the past two days, but don't let it happen because of that.
The level issue is dragging me down...
However, before going on stage, Liu Yifei still had time to worry about the little assassin, Yu Huangquan, and even Xue Lan, whom he had never seen before, was slightly worried.
However, after actually meeting his opponent for the first game, Liu Yifei suddenly realized that he seemed to have no time to worry about others~
I really didn't expect that Liu Yifei would encounter such a troublesome existence in just the first game of the Big City Tournament...
