The next morning I got up early, took a shower and changed clothes, ate a lot of things for breakfast, and drank a glass of water to prepare for the hard work.
When I got up, I received a text message on my mobile phone from the tournament, saying that in order to give the top 32 more time to build momentum, the preliminaries must be played today and tomorrow, so the schedule is very tight, and I am afraid I have to play about ten games a day to enter.
Top 32.
Of course, the premise is that you cannot lose before entering the top 32, because this competition adopts the principle of single elimination. As long as you lose one game, you will be eliminated immediately, without any chance of resurrection.
A game is won or lost in three games. This way of playing the game will undoubtedly make the outcome of the game more random. If not, anyone may be capsized. But if you think about it from another way, the emergence of more chance will undoubtedly be very serious.
Big ones add to the excitement of the game.
Competitions are more fun only if they are exciting, and the organizers have a certain reason for arranging them this way.
At a quarter past 7:30, Lin Jingran and I went back to our rooms and went online respectively. As long as we were 30 seconds late for this game, we would lose. There was no mercy, so we didn't dare to be careless.
As a frequent visitor on the level list, it would be too shameful if we could not finally appear in the top 32 list of the offline competition. Moreover, this is a rare opportunity to prove ourselves to Lin Jingran’s father. We must not take it lightly.
Of.
With a flash of light, I appeared in Lingyun City. When I went online, I immediately received a message related to the competition, reminding me that the competition was about to start. At this time, do not leave your game character in any mirror map to avoid entering.
Mirroring the arena has an impact.
My first opponent has been matched. He is a little lolita who is only level 65 and a professional mage.
In a single-elimination game like this, when the system conducts electronic drawing and grouping, it basically follows the rules of Tian Ji's horse racing. The strongest versus the weakest, and the players with average strength will try to arrange evenly matched opponents for them. Only in this way.
Do your best to eliminate the weaker players first and try not to let the masters meet in advance.
My level is currently ranked second in the entire China area, so the opponent I drew should be one of the lowest level batch.
At the same time, the rules of the competition have also been released. For the sake of fairness, except for the summoner profession, other players on the field are not allowed to summon pets to assist in the battle. Skills with a CD time of more than 600 seconds are also prohibited from being used, such as my life and death cycle.
It will also be banned.
A group of us gathered together waiting to enter the game.
Lin Jeran suggested: "Let's see who comes out first in the first game."
I said: "No need to compare, of course it's you."
"Why?"
"Because you are beautiful, your opponents will immediately admire you to death when they see you. Of course, you don't need to fight."
"Hate……"
…
More than ten minutes later, I received a prompt: The first round of competition officially started. Do you want to enter the competition venue immediately?
I immediately selected Confirm.
With a flash of light, I appeared in a 100×100 mirror competition field. At this time, my opponent had also entered the competition field, the level 65 Loli mage named Ding Ding.
As soon as the little Loli came in, she said aggrievedly: "Wow, I'm so unlucky. In the first game, I met the second best player on the ranking list. I originally thought I could win."
I thought to myself, no matter how you score at this level, you are destined to face players above level 90. Even if you change your opponent, you still can't win. There is really a big difference between players above level 65 and level 90. This is not true at all.
Technology can make up for it, and the skills of players who can upgrade their level to level 90 or above are definitely no different.
The next moment the countdown to the competition started, the little Loli still said to me pitifully: "Brother, can you let me win a round first? It took a lot of effort for me to collect the registration fee."
I couldn't help but burst out laughing and answered her: "It's not impossible, the question is how are you going to win against me?"
She thought about it seriously, and then made a very unreasonable request: "Just stand still and let me hit you."
The reason I say it's unreasonable is not that I think her request is excessive, but that I don't think she can kill me if I just stand still.
At this time, the countdown of the game was over. I stood there and said to her generously: "Let's fight. I won't move and let you play one round."
"Thank you, brother, you are so kind." Ding Ding said and immediately walked over, raised his staff and threw a Pyroblast fireball at me.
"call!"
The pyrotechnic fireball exploded on my body, and I just felt - I didn't seem to feel anything. I couldn't even feel the bite of an ant. There was a 1 point of forced blood damage floating on my forehead. The little loli's magic attack was too much.
It's too weak to break my defense at all.
The little Loli was unwilling to give in and hit me with another magic spell. I remained motionless and didn't even bother to move the shield in my left hand.
"Crack!"
The magic exploded in my chest, still causing 1 point of forced blood deduction damage.
At this time, the little Loli mage cried in despair.
"Wow, I finally managed to collect the registration fee, but I couldn't even win a game, and my 100 gold coins were just gone.
I spread my hands and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this. I can't commit suicide just to win a game for you, right?"
"Wuwu, it's not your fault, it's because my attack is too low."
Seeing her pitiful look, I couldn't bear it for a moment, so I continued, "How about I reimburse you the registration fee."
She raised her head sharply and quickly wiped away her tears: "Okay!"
I had no choice but to open the transaction interface and directly threw 1,000 gold coins to her.
After the little Loli got the gold coins, she said to me: "Brother, I won't waste your time, just work hard to level up."
After saying that, he gave up the game decisively.
Then there was a flash of white light, and I was teleported out of the arena. I took a quick look around and saw that Lin Jingran and the others seemed to have finished their first battle and were gathering together to chat.
With a flash of light, I entered the mirror competition field again, leaving a group of them outside.
Opposite me, the little loli smiled slightly when she saw me, and chose to give up again.
So I won the first game very shamefully.
Something suddenly occurred to me at this moment, and I felt very frightened. My opponent abstained twice in a row, and after accepting my gold coins. Wouldn’t the system think that I was bribing the competition, and thus disqualify me from the next competition?
At this moment, I was teleported out of the arena for the second time.
At this time, the opponent for the second game had not yet been determined, and everyone was indeed discussing the events of the previous game.
Lin Jerran: "One sword, one round, two swords to resolve the battle. The opponent is really too weak. I hope I can get a stronger opponent in the next game, at least it will give me a chance to warm up."
Pitang Zhang: "I don't even need to use stealth, the mage on the other side can't hit me at all."
Yaxin immediately refused to be outdone and said: "The little warrior opposite me couldn't break my shield. I instantly killed him with an ice arrow."
…
At this time, they suddenly realized that I was already standing nearby, so they all looked at me and almost asked in unison: "Long Hu (Chen Hui), why did it take you so long to come out? Your opponents in the first round should be very weak."
"
Me: "Would you believe me if I said I was chatting with people inside?"
A group of people showed contempt at the same time: "Tch~!"
These days, no one wants to believe the truth.
…
Soon, our opponents for the second game were matched. This time my opponent was a warrior from our arch-enemy Zhanhuangdian - Zhanhuangdian Bozai, a level 75 fighting dwarf. In my opinion, he is the representative.
The Emperor of War came to let me torture you.
The next moment, when I entered the playing field, I was immediately happy when I saw the opponent's image, because the horizontal development and vertical development of this product were almost simultaneous, so it really looked like a ball (Note 1).
The countdown to the game was not over yet, so I pulled out Shuangyu's spear and pointed it at the opponent and said: "Boy, clean yourself up and come over to die."
The other party gritted his teeth and said, "I won't let you succeed until I die."
So, when the next second system countdown reached zero seconds, he decisively chose to give up the game and flew away from the field before I could get close. This was the case for two consecutive games. There was no need to play third after 2:0 in the preliminaries.
Bureau.
So I shamefully entered the third round without firing a shot.
The players who were able to advance to the second round were more or less capable, so this time no one ended the battle earlier than me.
After a while, Lin Jieran and others came out after finishing the battle, and they were slightly surprised.
"Long Hu (Chen Hui), why are you so fast this time?"
I spread my hands and said: "My opponent didn't want to be humiliated by me, so he chose to abstain. In fact, I haven't fired a single shot until now, and as a result, I have already advanced to the third round."
Everyone showed disdainful expressions: "Tch~!"
Is telling the truth in this day and age doomed to be looked down upon?
Then my third opponent, the game ID Zichen Emperor, was a level 80 thief. He stood on the opposite side and kept playing with the dagger in his hand while waiting for the game to count down. He didn’t even want to look at me. He looked cold and aloof.
It seems like he really thinks he is some kind of emperor.
I immediately felt extremely relieved. At least this opponent would not forfeit and end the game. He finally had a chance to exercise his hands and feet. So I decided to torture the opponent in the next two games.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
As the countdown of the game ended, the barrier set in the middle of the field disappeared immediately, and the opponent sneered: "So what if I am second on the Heavenly Ranking? Let's see how I defy the odds and defeat the masters on the Heavenly Ranking."
As he said that, the opponent's figure quickly disappeared and entered a stealth state.
Note 1: In Cantonese, "ball" is usually said to be "wave". For example, if you ask someone to play ball in the afternoon, you would say "Go and play wave after work."
