Chapter 335: Friction before the game (fourth update)
On the fourth day of the Grand Arena Tournament, with the eager anticipation of countless players, everyone finally ushered in what can be said to be the most intensely competitive individual professional national tournament.
During today's competition, various races and countries will compete to determine the top 16 in each profession within their respective countries.
The top thirteen will be selected through a single-elimination knockout tournament, and the remaining three will be selected through a rematch for the losers, preparing for the fifth day, which is the competition between the top three professional players in each country.
Two hours before the start of the game, Liu Yifei teleported to Solna City, the capital of the Kingdom of Solna, together with the young assassin and other friends from the Star Wars Mercenary Group who had successfully advanced.
Today, the city of Solna is really packed with people.
As soon as everyone stepped out of the teleportation array, they were completely engulfed by the oncoming crowd. If it hadn't been for the test of various crowded and complicated situations in the past two days, a group of people might have disappeared in the vast crowd.
Fortunately, everyone was very clear about the various privileges of the players. After understanding that it was impossible to go upstream, they immediately chose to teleport the players. Each player transformed into light alone and was teleported directly to the competition venue.
In yesterday's Ayutthaya competition, even after the players teleported to the competition venue, the situation was still relatively crowded, but today's situation has greatly improved.
Not only does it open up an independent competition space for the contestants, but it also separates players from various professions, forming four professional arena competition areas: warriors, wizards, archers, and darkwalkers.
There are 220 participating players gathered in each area, and if they are not in a hurry, players can go to the public rest area to take a rest, and then enter the arena area to prepare when the competition is approaching.
In fact, after the national competition, ordinary players do not have to go to the competition venue to appreciate the competition process.
The system is also very attentive in promoting the national competition. Just like the eight-ethnic mercenary war that Liu Yifei and others participated in, this time the national competition held by various ethnic groups can be temporarily set up through the system in pubs, hotels and central squares in various cities.
Watch the battle directly on the display screen.
The reason why Solna suddenly gathered so many players is because everyone's enthusiasm was too exciting. Even though they knew that they could see everything through the display screen from a distance, they still wanted to go to the scene and appreciate it on the spot.
Due to mood.
In this national competition, today and tomorrow, the system will add a large number of spectator seats around the competition space specially opened by each king, and officially sell tickets to the outside world, allowing up to 10,000 players from each country to enjoy their domestic games live.
Fierce competition among the highest-level players in each profession...
"Holy shit~ It's actually a profitable business. Today's ticket is priced at ten joint dollars. I heard that tomorrow's ticket will be even more expensive. Long Sheng Company is simply using us contestants to make dirty money this time.
Oh, I don’t know, it’s not interesting enough to give some to people like us..."
In the public rest area, among the people who gathered spontaneously, the grass on the roadside carrying a super war sword muttered dissatisfiedly.
"That's humorous~ Then if you have the ability, you should reach out to Longsheng Company and ask for it. See if they can give it to you. Maybe since you are so powerful, they may not really get a share of your pie~"
Soklan on the side immediately squinted and said with a smile.
"I x, didn't I just complain casually? Are you so serious, old eye?"
Besides, I’m just saying this casually, brother, how much money do I still need? It’s just to bring injustice to the majority of participating players.”
The grass on the roadside stared, waved its arms and shouted.
"Okay, okay~ The game is about to start, why are you two arguing? If you really have that much free time, why not check your situation again to see if you have forgotten anything? Don't lose if you find something is wrong by then.
It must have been unjust."
The young assassin on the side persuaded him to fight.
"Dagger, please stop trying to persuade them. These two guys don't quarrel every day or two. Everyone is used to it, so just let them talk nonsense. Maybe they will be eliminated one after another."
The Star Steel Blade, which was rubbing the dagger on one side, was also fanning the flames.
"Damn it, who do you think will be eliminated? Keep your eyes open and watch. I will definitely finish in the top 13 today and let you see it." The grass on the side of the road stared at Youzi with gritted teeth and rubbed his hands.
The weapon's Star Steel Blade Path.
"Okay~ As you said, if you make it into the top thirteen, I will invite you and everyone to have a meal and drink as you please in the best pub in Solna."
Star Steel Blade raised a dagger in his hand and pointed slightly at the grassy roadside.
"Okay, then just wait and dig out your pockets to buy pants. Let's see how I will make you poor then."
"But since it's a bet, you have to bet something. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring if there was no bet at all?" Star Steel Blade blew on the blade of the dagger and said with a smile on his face.
"Then what are you going to bet on? United coins?" the grass on the roadside said tentatively.
"Tch~ Gambling or something like that is the most discordant thing. We are gamers, not gamblers. Please~ The things we use to gamble must naturally be things in the game~ Otherwise... just bet on the hands on your back.
How about the big sword? If I win and you don't make it to the top thirteen, your big sword will be mine."
Steel Blade suddenly pointed at the king-level two-handed sword on the back of the grass on the roadside.
"I x~Why are you still thinking about my sword? I won't do it. Don't think I don't know that you always want to take my sword and transform it into two king-level daggers. Let me tell you,
Don’t even think about it, it’s simply impossible.”
It turns out that the cause of all this was caused by the grass on the roadside~
Since Liu Yifei and others fought against the elves and returned to the ghosts through all kinds of hardships, not only have their horizons been broadened, but their strength has also improved.
After the little assassin returned, his whole person underwent a transformation in temperament.
Others can't see it. How can they not see the Star Steel Blade, who was relatively close to the little assassin in the past? And for a veteran like him, he is very familiar with the little assassin's situation.
This is a sign that a rookie in the game will become a master after experiencing countless trials and practicing in high-intensity battles.
This is not only a maturity in strength, but also a huge progress in psychology and thought.
Seeing that a powerful assassin player was about to appear next to him, Star Steel Blade couldn't hold back his eagerness to fight, so he took the time to invite the young assassin to a fighting arena in the City of Misery.
The final result is self-evident. The young assassin at that time was no longer able to resist ordinary people. Even though he was once half the master of the young assassin, the equipment and level of the young assassin now far exceeded the Star Steel Blade.
, the Star Steel Blade was finally decisively killed by the little assassin~
However, Star Steel Blade was also a little embarrassed. Perhaps he did not expect that he would lose so easily. He was caught by the little assassin before he could survive for twenty seconds. After a brief fight, the opponent locked him behind his back.
The throat ended up killing itself.
In the end, Steel Blade blamed its poor equipment, especially the weapons, which were not on the same level as the little assassins, so it was always difficult to form effective attacks.
There were many people watching the battle, including old friends from the mercenary group. Many people comforted them, and many even made casual jokes~
Then the grass on the roadside didn't know which muscle was twitching, and casually muttered: "How can a king-level dagger be so easy to come across? Besides, you use double daggers, so you want to be like the little assassin."
It’s really not easy to make a weapon of the same level. You may not even be able to gather the materials to turn this big sword of mine into something..."
It was such a casual sentence that immediately "reminded" the Star Steel Blade.
Since then, Gangbian has always tried his best to deceive the big sword from the grass on the roadside. Although he knew that it was unlikely to reforge a high-level weapon, Gangblade thought that teasing such a weed would be easy to take seriously.
Also a good idea.
"Okay, okay, the game will start soon. Today's game is not easy. Everyone will not encounter mediocre players. Every game must be played as a final, otherwise you will be defeated in the first game.
It would be interesting to be kicked out." The little assassin on the side changed the subject.
"Hey, look, isn't that man the strange warrior from our City of Misery? Dagger, is he the one you and Brother Yun are looking for?"
Xiaocao on the side suddenly became excited and immediately pointed at a light-armored warrior player with a one-handed sword in the distance.
Following the hand of the grass on the roadside, the little assassin saw the person indeed. Although he did not see the front, from the analysis of the body shape, it was probably that person.
"Is it actually him? I didn't expect that he could break through the big city competition all the way and advance to here. Haha, dagger, it seems that our inference is wrong."
Liu Yifei also saw that person, but his perception attribute was much higher than the others. He could already see from the other person's profile that the other person was indeed the "Hidden Wind and Hidden Moon", the one who had never responded directly to him.
A very interesting Flying Sword Warrior player.
"It's not surprising that the inference is wrong. After all, we don't know the opponent's original strength at all. And I watched several of his game videos last night. What I can confirm is that he really has something to hide. Now it seems,
He has at least one big move that we haven’t seen before, similar to Wheel Slash, and that move is quite powerful. I estimate that even the tower shield brother may not be able to block it..."
The little assassin whispered.
And just when the little assassin was whispering to Liu Yifei, he didn't know whether the other party heard the little assassin's voice or felt that he was being stared at by several pairs of eyes behind him, so he suddenly turned back to Liu Yifei and waited.
People looked over here.
Seeing this, the man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly nodded to Liu Yifei in a gesture, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
"Hey~ Master Yunda, is that person nodding to us? Do you know him?" the grass on the roadside said strangely.
"Haha, we may not know each other, but it seems that our efforts are not completely ineffective. Well, let's look at the situation. Maybe we can find a chance to have a good talk with the other party today." Liu Yifei looked at Qianfeng.
Yin Yue's back slowly left and she whispered.
"Oh Godzilla's leader, why does he look like that?"
Liu Yifei was thinking seriously about the issue of Hidden Wind and Hidden Moon, when he suddenly heard a muffled exclamation from the steel blade beside him. He looked up and saw his old enemy, the deputy leader of the Godzilla Mercenary Group—
—Moby was casting malicious glances at several people on their side.
When he saw Liu Yifei looking up at him, Mobi not only did not feel as embarrassed as when he was forced to take away all his strength by two subordinates, but instead walked over with a proud look on his face. What is strange is that, although it is not obvious,
But Moby's actions did reveal a bit of "stiffness"
Coupled with Moby's shriveled skin and obviously long and curly nails, people can't help but connect him with some kind of creature common to the ghost tribe - this guy is like a walking corpse that is about to be dried out.
Same
"Everyone from Star Wars~ and the most respected Mr. Liuyun, I never thought that I would be able to meet you again here today. This is really a great honor," Godzilla Moby said with a hypocritical face as he walked over.
"I just don't know, since everyone is here, how many people are left in your base camp? You must know that it is not peaceful outside at this time.
If someone disturbs the tranquility of your territory during your competition, it will be a really bad situation~" Godzilla Moby said viciously.
"It also depends on whether those people with bad intentions have the ability~
At this time, there must be many people who have ideas about our Star Wars, but not many have the ability to take action. But these are none of your business~
Your Excellency, it is better to stay in the royal capital of Solna with peace of mind. You must know that this is the royal capital after all, and the security is better. At least it won't happen that a whole group of people are beaten up by one person or even guard the corpse, right?
That situation is too desolate, and we must resolutely avoid it." Star Tower Shield, who was taking a nap on the side, suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"Yeah, yeah~ If something extremely tragic happens to our group, then we might as well wipe our necks and die together. A group of people can't even kill one person, and they are killed in reverse. It's really embarrassing to grandma.
We’re home, what’s the point of living? Let’s go back to the kindergarten and rebuild it as soon as possible,” Star Steel Blade teased while playing with the dagger.
"You damn guys~ Don't get too proud too early. If you want to laugh, do it now. I'll let you know in a short time what the real strength is."
Liuyun, let me tell you, don’t be complacent. You won last time. You just had outside help in this ring competition. I want to see how much you weigh. We will see you in the final big fight. I will definitely break your bones inch by inch.
All torn apart”
With a harsh word, Moby and the two contestants in his group left the public rest area in anger, probably because he didn't want to meet Liu Yifei and his group again.
Time slowly passed, and more and more contestants appeared in the venue one after another. As the competition time approached, shouts like mountains and tsunami gradually sounded outside.
That was the sound of a large number of players who were qualified to watch the battle on the spot. As the "audiences" entered, everyone knew that the real fierce battle was about to begin...
