The qualifying rounds for the Jianghai Division have come to an end.
Although there is still one game left to play, the two teams that have qualified for the Jianghai Division have already been locked in advance, namely Jinghai University and Jiangnan University. The rest is nothing more than fighting for first and second place.
However, ranking is still very important. It not only represents honor, but also has practical benefits.
If you can get the first place in the Jianghai Division, in the first round of the cuaa national competition, you will not be drawn to the first place in other divisions, but only the second place. This is determined by the lottery mechanism
.
The second place is always easier to beat than the first place. Although it is not ruled out that there are some strong areas, whether first or second, the strength can defeat the first place in a large number of weak areas, such as Yanda and Tsinghua in the Beijing Division.
But this is a low-probability event after all. If you really get it, you can only blame your own hands.
While Bai Xiaowen was preparing for the war, he was also busy with the virtual store.
After the buyer receives the goods and gives an evaluation, he or she can accumulate credit points.
Due to the large transaction volume, the credit rating rose quickly. The hot sales in the first two days of the store opened directly showed its power after the buyer's evaluation of the goods on the fourth day. The credit rating of the "big knife kills many people" store suddenly rose.
After reaching c3, it has grown steadily every day. After three weeks, it has become a c1 level store.
Bai Xiaowen delivers goods every day and feels extremely busy.
The transaction of psychic points can be carried out in the virtual space, but the delivery must go to the distribution point of the virtual battle platform. Bai Xiaowen came up with the idea of recruiting a manpower.
It is best to recruit people who are awakened, because it is too unsafe for ordinary people to transport a batch of psychic items to the distribution point of the virtual battle platform, just like a child swaggering through the market with gold bars. As for the awakened, you can let them go.
When transported in a personal storage space, there is basically no need to worry about safety issues.
Because the rules of the spirit world do not encourage awakened people to kill each other, the party that takes the initiative to attack, even if it kills other awakened people, the combat rating will be reduced by one level. In addition, the loot extraction mechanism can only extract an extremely limited number of times.
Under the restrictions of this rule, when the fierce Awakened chooses targets for murder and looting, they will only target those who have high-quality equipment and precious props, and will not target people who transport large amounts of low-level standard equipment and low-level food.
It's actually not difficult to recruit an awakened person to help deliver goods - there are many awakened people in standard professions who are willing to do part-time jobs like running errands to earn some psychic energy and extra money. This is safer than wandering into the spiritual world and wilderness areas.
The more you earn, the more stable your income will be.
However, what Bai Xiaowen wants to recruit is not a part-time awakener, but a full-time one who can not only help him deliver goods, but also help him collect psychic points and manage the store.
No matter how much money the shop makes, Bai Xiaowen can't spend all his time on it and stay in the base city. Sooner or later, he will have to go to the wilderness area or special treasure land to explore. Even if he doesn't go to these two places, the spiritual world will definitely
Going to.
It takes at least ten days to go to the spirit world. If the store is closed for such a long time, all the accumulated popularity will be lost.
Recruiting an awakened person to look after the store full-time is a bit more difficult, but it is not impossible to find. There are many middle-aged, low-level, standard professional awakened people whose strength has almost stagnated, and will be willing to accept such a job.
For example, on the virtual battle platform, the administrator Song Weihua I met was such a full-time awakened person employed.
However, Bai Xiaowen could not find a suitable candidate for a while. The suitable candidate meant that not only the other party was willing to apply, but also preferably an awakened person that Bai Xiaowen was familiar with and trusted.
Bai Xiaowen went through the names in his mind.
There should be no chance of the Super God Guild. The awakened people who can be signed by the guild all have certain development potential and will not be willing to be a full-time salesperson. Although Li Beihai is the president, he cannot force a member of the guild to give up his
Development prospects.
And outside the Super God Guild...
Chen Guowei's name jumped out first. This guy is very lazy, afraid of pain and death. Currently, he only relies on Bai Xiaowen's supervision to make progress. No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like the type who can go on the road of awakening for a long time...
However, Chen Guowei is still young and is in the golden period of improving his strength. He still has the potential to become a high-level awakener. Bai Xiaowen shook his head and prepared to ask Chen Guowei his thoughts later.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen thought of someone. He picked up his phone and dialed the number of his agent, Sister Zheng.
"Hello? Mr. Bai, why did you remember to call me? I'm so flattered." Sister Zheng's voice came from the other end, and her words were a bit teasing.
"...My pot, my pot," Bai Xiaowen first showed a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, "You know, I opened a virtual store and have been tossing about the delivery. In addition, I have been busy with the delivery of goods for the past few weeks.
Competition, too busy.”
"Okay, don't make excuses...tell me, what do you need me as an agent for? Is it because you slept with a female star in the entertainment industry, or was you caught having sex with a prostitute?"
"Ahem, am I that kind of person!"
After a while of laughter, Bai Xiaowen got down to business: "Sister Zheng, my store needs to hire an awakened person to help with the store delivery, but there is no familiar and qualified awakened person... The awakened person you have seen on the Shark Live Platform
There are many, can you recommend one that is reliable?”
"I knew you couldn't come to me if you had nothing to do..."
Bai Xiaowen laughed awkwardly, and through the phone, he seemed to see the corners of Sister Zheng's lips curling up slightly.
"I know a lot of awakened people, but now that I have left the Sharks, you know the truth behind people leaving..." Sister Zheng pondered for a while and then said, "There are not many suitable candidates... You see
How about Zhang Bo?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Of course it's good if he comes." He had a good impression of Zhang Bo and called Sister Zheng mainly with this idea in mind.
"He should come. As a direct descendant of my signature, he is not very comfortable on the Shark Platform now. His popularity has been declining and he complains to me all day long. It's not like you, he has such excellent conditions... The platform
If you don’t provide resources, your fans will drop very quickly. I said a few days ago that he is about to fall below e-level popularity.”
"So miserable?"
"There's nothing we can do about it..." Sister Zheng sighed, "I'll go back and ask him, and I'll give you an answer tonight. By the way, how are you doing at Shark?"
"How can I be better?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Rejecting Fu Qiu's recruitment, Liang Zi has been established, and it will be good if he is not banned. Fortunately, there is a group of loyal fans who have been supporting me, and my popularity has declined a bit.
It’s not a big problem.”
"You...could it be because of me that you got into trouble with Fu Qiu?" Sister Zheng suddenly became a little anxious, "Are you stupid? Do you know that Xu and Weishe know that it doesn't matter if you say a few nice words, people in today's society
, who can’t live without two or three faces?”
"Sister Zheng, you have forgotten that I have just entered college, and I am still a naive teenager. I have not started to join society, and I have no experience."
"Stop talking nonsense. You're so smart and you can't pretend? I don't believe you didn't pretend when you were in the spirit world."
"Pretending in the spirit world is called role-playing..." Bai Xiaowen laughed twice, "When I return to the earth, there is no need to pretend like this. I just want to live a more willful life... To borrow a word, it is called 'picture an idea'
Being enlightened can lead to longevity."
"Hey, put away your lies, I won't advise you anymore. Based on your conditions, you are indeed qualified to be willful. You also have a competition this weekend, right? I will go to watch it live, and then we will have dinner together."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuyi ran in.
"Xiaowen, let's go back to the guild..." Li Shuyi's face showed excitement.
"Seeing that you are in a hurry, what good can you do?"
"It's an eagle...the two baby eagles have opened their eyes!" Li Shuyi said happily.
In the Great Rift Valley of Broken Ridge Mountain, Bai Xiaowen not only harvested the precious leaves of the dragon's blood tea tree, but also took away two baby eagles. Because the two of them were about to enter the spirit world soon, they gave the baby eagles to the care of Li Beihai and his wife.
Mutated raptors like the white eagle will eat a lot more after opening their eyes, and at the same time enter a stage of rapid development, and will grow to the young eagle stage within one to two weeks.
For artificially raised white eagles, the juvenile stage is a standard model, with a body length of about twenty or thirty centimeters, which is similar to that of unmutated eagles from another time and space. Obviously, they cannot be ridden at this stage, and the breeders are not willing to take them with them.
When they go out to fight, they are mainly kept as ornamental pets.
The safest way is to raise the white eagles for one to two years. When the white eagles reach adulthood, the template will automatically upgrade to the elite level, and the size and wingspan will increase enough to carry people. At this time, you can ride them in the wilderness.
It flew over the area, but could not be brought into the spirit world.
For artificially raised white eagles, the elite template is usually the top.
Back at the guild headquarters and Li Beihai's home, Bai Xiaowen finally saw two baby eagles.
Light yellow, with a slightly hooked beak, yellow claws, and white fur, it has not changed much from before. The only change is that it has opened its dark eyes, which are yellow on the outside and brown on the inside.
It is two concentric circles nested together.
The two baby eagles had just opened their eyes, but they were not very close to Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi. Instead, they kept chirping at Li Beihai and his wife. Although they had not opened their eyes before, they could vaguely recognize the breath of their breeders.
Fortunately, when Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi tore open strips of mutated beast meat and fed it to the two little guys, they might have just opened their eyes and were very hungry, so they started eating without hesitation.
"The next two weeks are a critical period for establishing a relationship with the baby eagles. You must keep them with you and feed them at any time." Li Beihai instructed.
Mother Li touched the fluff on the heads of the two baby eagles and said with a bit of reluctance: "Don't let too many strangers touch them. When you play games on the weekends, we will also go there and help you take care of them."
The two people quickly thanked them.
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself, then there is another daily routine, feeding birds...
In the evening, Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowen were left at home for dinner. During the dinner, Sister Zheng called and said that Zhang Bo had agreed to help with the store's delivery, but Zhang Bo wanted to do it part-time, even if the pay was higher.
A little less doesn’t hurt.
Bai Xiaowen can understand Zhang Bo's thoughts. He is still young and a little unwilling to find a "senior care" job as a full-time job now.
Bai Xiaowen also understood and agreed to this. Anyway, there is no suitable person now, and Zhang Bo is more trustworthy to Sister Zheng and him, so I will talk about it first.
After dinner, Li's mother wanted to let Bai Xiaowen and the two stay at home for one night, but Bai Xiaowen still declined. Today was already Friday, and the war was about to begin, so he had to rush back to train with the team members and practice tactics.
"Your next game will be against Jiangnan University, right?" Li Beihai said, "Play well, don't care too much about the result, just do your best."
"What I said to you hurts morale a bit, just like Xiaobai and the others will definitely lose." Mother Li was dissatisfied.
Li Beihai shook his head: "You don't understand. Jiangnan University is very strong. Lao Yao has made an evaluation before. With our guild's current main team, against the Jiangnan University team, they will lose more than they win..."
"Is this an exaggeration? You are a second-tier league team."
"It's not an exaggeration. The main reason is that Qi Ruifeng is too strong. He is already a level 6 hero. This is rare among players in the second league. He can be used as the main force in any strong team in the second league.
Come and use it! And our guild, those little bastards who don’t live up to expectations, are at the bottom of the Second League..." Li Beihai shook his head. They are also teams in the Second League, and the gap between the strong team and the bottom team is still very big.
.
Li's mother said angrily: "I think you are putting more pressure on Xiaobai and the others."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head.
…
After returning to school with the eaglets, the two rushed directly to the school team training base. The other school team members were curious about the two extra birds on the shoulders of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, but after Bai Xiaowen's explanation, they were all self-conscious
Di did not come over to tease the young eagle, but listened carefully to Bai Xiaowen's explanation of tactics.
Four qualifying matches have passed, and Yan Xiaoxin has collected information on the five main players of Jiangnan University, along with complete videos of each match.
"In addition to the battle mage Qi Ruifeng, the other four members of the Jiangnan University team are Tai Chi swordsman Li Sheng, champion knight Xiao Jinfeng, secret archer Qi Hong, and auxiliary Holy Word priest Yin Jingyun. Everyone has watched the qualifying video.
No?"
Everyone said they had seen it.
"Tell me your opinion."
Feng Ziang was the first to speak: "I feel that Qi Ruifeng has not shown his true strength in these four games."
"I feel that way too."
"Qi Ruifeng of Jiangnan University is of course the most powerful. However, his four teammates work well together and are very strong, so they are equally difficult to deal with."
Bai Xiaowen listened to a circle of speeches and began to summarize:
"The opponent is quite strong. As for the ban mode tomorrow, we will definitely ban the conquest mode of the solo game. I believe the opponent can guess this. According to my speculation, they should use the crystal destruction mode and the boss challenge mode.
