After reading the analysis of this astral plane, Lawrence began to look at the rules listed at the top of the information on how to obtain points.
It is indeed an event held for friendship, so we pay more attention to fairness in the arrangement of competition rules. For example, everyone has 2 points when entering the space. After each competition between contestants, the loser needs to give himself
Half of the score is given to the winner. However, when the loser's score reaches 1, the scores of the losers will not change no matter what.
In addition, each team can only compete up to five times a day, whether actively or passively. Competitions exceeding this number will not result in a change in scores. Lawrence thinks this may be the organizer's attempt to avoid some teams using other unfair means.
Rules set for scoring points.
Correspondingly, every time you defeat a black iron-level monster, you will get 1 or 2 points, and you can get more by leapfrogging. For example, Lawrence saw that he could get 10,000 points by destroying the kobold tribe, even if he just simply entered the mine.
Each hole earns 50 points.
"So in other words, at least most people will target that mine." Ratman Laka thought for a while and said. "The difficulty and risk of killing 50 monsters of the same level are a bit uncontrollable, let alone killing this number.
If you encounter enemies, you may also provoke a group of extraordinary monsters, which will lead to the official monster leaders."
"Entering this cave is much easier. According to the situation on this hand-drawn map, the two thousand or so kobolds guarding the edge of the volcano did not gather together to block the intersection, but were divided into seven or eight small tribes.
They are stationed in various places near the volcano, and there is a lot of space between tribes and tribes. Although the kobolds have patrols, we should be able to get around them relatively easily."
At this point, Laka raised his head and looked at everyone in the team, "Of course, what I said about the easier bypass refers to me, but if you can do what I said, I think we can with a high probability
Bypass the kobold blockade."
"You're right, it does sound easier." Lawrence nodded. In the real world, more than two thousand kobolds who rely on fishing and hunting will not all gather together, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the surrounding resources.
Maintain their lives. So they will naturally divide into many small tribes that are not close together, which also gives Lawrence the opportunity to infiltrate.
"But there is a problem with this." Lawrence first said that going to the mine was right, but then he pointed out a very important issue. "That cave must not only attract us, but if I am not wrong, it will definitely attract more people."
Some contestants will use that place as the target of their actions——"
"If there are too many people, it will be troublesome!" The dwarf mechanic Kaorg was the first to wake up, and then explained to the others. "There are not many contestants in this competition, either rogues or rangers.
Not every team will have such extraordinary people who are good at stealth operations. If they choose to force a breakthrough, the place will definitely be in a fight."
"Not to mention how dangerous it would be to encounter a large group of kobolds after being involved in a melee. It would be very troublesome just to have a large number of contestants concentrated in such a small space, and the opportunities for mutual competition will also be greatly increased."
"You are right." Paladin John nodded. "The people who can participate in the competition are actually at the same level, especially when team battles are the main focus. Because of this, we must try our best to avoid fighting with each other during the battle.
Too many participating teams competing.”
"Yes, what John said makes sense." The soldier Leisuo also supported at this time, "Even if we can defeat one team or two teams, if we are unlucky and get into a wheel battle, it will definitely be us who suffer in the end.
.Although the current bonus point rules do not encourage internal competition among contestants, we cannot rule out that some guys will use this method to suppress the top-ranked teams in order to win."
As he spoke, the warrior Reso also curled his lips at the contestants from the Algarve Empire standing on the other side of the platform. As the largest and most powerful country in the southern continent among the three continents of the New World, this country has extraordinary power in terms of
They are not weak. This can be seen from the fact that their number of contestants in this competition is the same as that of the White Eagle Federation.
However, the rulers of this country, a group of noble descendants and manor owners from the Kingdom of Lusitania in the Old World, have always been known for doing things only about the results and not about the process. This has caused the entire country's atmosphere to shift in this direction. Their
Extraordinary people who grow up in such an environment often do things unscrupulously.
In the past few competitions, the Algarve Empire has indeed won several championships through various less upright means, such as playing as a group and competing against certain teams. But as a result, their reputation in the New World has naturally declined.
It stinks, every team will face them with a very vigilant attitude.
According to the information obtained by Lawrence before, in this competition, each team's number of battles that can change the score is limited to five games per day, which is aimed at this group of guys. However, he does not feel that this method will bring benefits to those groups who have tasted the benefits before.
Guys, restrain yourself.
"According to the data, the place where we enter the astral plane is random, so let's just leave it like this." After discussing for a while, Lawrence put forward an opinion.
"If we enter the plane and the landing point is very close to the volcano, then we will rush to the mine before others. If it is far away from the volcano, we can first fight monsters outside and accumulate some money.
Some points, and at the same time take this opportunity to collect plane specialties, and wait until the departure time is approaching to go to the volcano to see the specific situation. If there is a chance, we can go up and give it a try, if not, we will leave directly."
"I agree!" After careful consideration, all members of the team nodded in agreement one after another. Although Lawrence's method may seem a little less profitable, it is relatively safe. At least it will give everyone a good income as a guarantee.
.For Lawrence and his group, who are all novices, this is the plan that best suits their specific situation.
When there were ten minutes left before the start of the game, the priest of the Church of Knowledge who was the game staff began to ask everyone to sort out their props. Everyone in the team gave the priest the props that were not within the permitted range.
.
The reason why props are restricted is not only for fair competition, but also because the plane barrier on the periphery of the astral plane limits not only the level of creatures, but also the levels of various magic props carried.
If you bring something that exceeds the limit and cannot enter the astral plane, that is the best outcome. If there is a bigger mistake during the transmission and you are directly exiled to the astral space, it will be really doomed.
Of course, according to this principle, Lawrence's space bag is also temporarily stored at the priest's place. Although space equipment is very rare outside, almost everyone competing here has one. Lawrence's space bag is not conspicuous here at all.
However, handing in space equipment does not mean that everyone has to carry all the equipment forward. After packing up the space equipment that everyone handed in, the priest took out five palm-sized gray cloth bags and distributed them to them.
"This is simply too luxurious." After opening the pocket, Lawrence discovered that it was a ten-cubic-meter space bag. So he made a sound of exclamation. After hearing his words, the priest smiled and shook his head.
"No, this is just a temporary space bag, which can last for ten days at most. So the output of this kind of thing is not small, and the price is not very expensive." The priest explained to Lawrence, and then he raised his head and said to other members of the team. "Okay.
, now everyone should check to see if they have brought all their belongings, otherwise it will be really bad if they find out that they have not brought their belongings when they go in."
The 40 minutes passed quickly, and the voice of the Supreme Consul of the Hanseatic Republic echoed over the open space again. "Everyone, please be prepared to line up at the northernmost part of the peninsula. The portal has been established, and everyone will be marked there."
The magic mark is ready to enter the plane."
Most of the contestants began to breathe rapidly, and Lawrence was no exception. He looked around and found that almost everyone was breathing rapidly and their faces were red. Even John, the calmest paladin, kept repeating
The action of gripping the hilt tightly and releasing the hilt.
Soon, a black basalt platform slowly rose from the seabed in front of them, and then connected with the platform where Lawrence and the others were. When the two platforms were firmly connected, a milky white marble gate slowly rose from the thin air above the new platform.
From illusion to reality, it finally stood on this newly emerged platform.
