Chapter 23 Hard League(1/2)
Chapter 23: The Great Alliance of Tough
After sorting out all the guild things, I waited until the game was about to start before the start of the game. During this period, I also notified the people in the guild that I could play anything I wanted to watch, which was considered a guild collective entertainment event. Everyone was very curious about the novel games in the United States, so many people decided to cheer us up.
When the team of our guild arrived at the conference site with the little eagle, I was shocked. I thought that only China would have the kind of people crowded together to attend the rally. Now it seems that there are quite a few Americans! There are already a lot of people standing in such a huge valley. We were already scared by the lively scene outside this special competition venue for the League. How could this be a competition? It was an international rally! When you look inside from outside the mountain, you can only notice that the small black dots in the valley were moving, and the crowd was standing on the mountain.
According to the introduction of the Hawk, there are 3 entrances in this valley, but there are generally only two entry points. The other is a dedicated passage for athletes and staff before the competition. It is said that this place is just a place to watch the competition. The real competition location is not here, and the schedule is very long in the valley.
At first, I was a little worried about the unified clothing of our guild players, but after I came in, I found that many guilds were uniform clothing. I guess most of them bought disguises. Otherwise, where would I find so many similar equipment? Guild armed forces are not easy to get. Since they all wear uniform clothing, our guild will not be too conspicuous. However, the high proportion of women and the golden equipment on our side still attracted the attention of passers-by, especially the mounts. Although other guilds have unified clothing, they cannot unify the mounts. Even if they use war horses, they will have different fur colors. However, our steel claws are all golden scales, and it is just a whole set with golden armor.
We walked to the entrance of the valley and built a wooden wall with wood, which was more symbolic. When we played with the stone city wall, it might not necessarily block people, let alone these three meters high and half an inch thick wooden walls?
"Is you a guild?" A guard at the door came over. Looking at his tone and attitude and what he was holding, I felt that he was more like a waiter than a guard.
I nodded: "There are people from our guild behind me, and they are easy to recognize in terms of clothing."
He glanced at it and smiled and said, "So please buy tickets here. How many people have you come? I need detailed numbers."
Xiaoying stepped forward and asked, "Didn't you have group tickets before?"
The man immediately said politely: "This competition will no longer use old-fashioned equipment. You will see a brand new set of video recording equipment, but this thing requires one terminal for each user, so we need to know the specific number of people to be distributed to the terminal."
I said awkwardly: "Please wait a moment, let's go and count now." At that time, I just shouted on the Guild Channel and I wanted to see the gathering in the square. Who knows how many people came! This time, I had to report the number of people. Because the entrance was quite busy, we had to lean on the side of the road to start counting the number of people. When we were busy, two guilds arrived one after another. Like us, the new rules made the presidents of the two guilds extremely embarrassed. Everyone didn't know how many people came to their guild, and they all started reporting the number on the side of the road like us.
Because there were many people coming, our guild was a little slow to report. The president of the guild next to him came over and started chatting with me.
"You are also blocked by that rule, right?"
I smiled and nodded: "No one knows the new rules, and when I came out, I didn't expect to count the number of people!"
The man immediately smiled and said, "Who said no! Fortunately, there are not many people in my guild."
I looked at the crowd that I reported on: "It seems that my side is almost over."
The president said, "Is the beasts in your guild disguised or are they real?"
"It's true. It's a guild guardian beast, with one person in his hand."
"You have guild guardian beasts? I'm so envious!"
"President, we've finished counting." Someone on my side called me.
He heard that we were finished and immediately took the initiative and said, "Since you are going to go in, I won't bother you."
I said goodbye to him and turned around and walked back to the guild team. The guild counted the number of people and confirmed that a total of 3,211 people came. My Zero Sound Knights also prepared 10, plus 5 of the Hawks and the others, which was 3,226. After reporting the numbers to the guards, the other party asked, "Do you have any people participating in the competition?"
"have."
The guard immediately said: "The contestants don't need to watch the competition, then you only need 3,205 sets."
Xiaoying immediately said: "No, it should be 3206 sets."
The guard smiled and said, "This game is a major revision, and many rules are different. Now the major leagues have become ones with up to 21 people participating in each team."
I immediately said, "You'd better give us 3206 sets, and let's add a summoning creature."
"Okay." The guard still smiled and said, "But this competition directly changed the tickets to the terminal. Anyway, there is no terminal, so the competition cannot be seen. Each terminal needs 17 crystal coins, please pay first."
Rose's mental arithmetic speed was so scary that we just finished speaking that she said: "3206 sets of equipment, each set of 17 crystal coins, a total of 54,502 crystal coins. Who will collect the money?"
"We are the security guards who are hired and do not contact the money. The organizer applied for system payment, and I'll open it for you." The payment page immediately popped up in front of Rose. After a simple operation, the payment was completed. Then 32 large boxes and six small boxes suddenly appeared in front of us. The guard continued: "There are 100 terminals in each large box, and one in each of the six small boxes."
I picked up a small box and looked at it. "What's this small thing?"
"You can open it and see, this is yours, and you can also take it away as a souvenir at the end of the game." As soon as I opened it, I saw a ring. The guard explained: "Just bring this thing, you can see the actual game. There will be an introduction to the specific operation. I will explain to you one by one here to waste time."
"Thank you, let's go in first."
The guard opened the door and let us pass, and he went to negotiate with a newly arrived guild member. After we came in, we felt that the scene was much more spectacular than the outside. It was a sea of players, and all the time we looked over was full of heads.
Suddenly, a sound like a mall broadcast sounded above my head: "Except for players participating in the competition, please consciously put away your magic pets and mounts to save space." When we heard this, we quickly put away our unused magic pets and mounts. The sound suddenly sounded again: "The competition organizing committee reminds you: The competition venue is crowded, please be careful of your personal belongings." Are there any thieves here? When we heard this, the people from our guild quickly moved everything on our bodies to the Phoenix Dragon Space. This is anti-theft. Anyway, we are wearing guild suits and can't be stolen.
After a while, the radio rang again: "There are many people in the venue. In order to avoid accidental damage from collisions, please do not hold the weapon in your hands and turn off the PK mode." Only after this sounded did our guild remember that they did not turn off the PK mode, and I am one of them.
Now we have become active listening to whether there is still a radio broadcast. The people in our guild have infected my personality - I missed it. Sure enough, the radio rang again after a while. "The players in the competition are concentrated and the noise is high. Please try to use internal chat modes such as private chat, team channel, guild channel, etc., and switch the conversation mode to ignore the ambient sound effects to reduce the noise in the venue."
This is indeed an experienced organizer, and it is so experienced! I said so many people are so quiet here, and I thought Americans were very consciously stopping chatting with each other, and they used internal chats for a long time. When the internal chat was set to ignore the ambient sound effects, people around them could not hear the sound of you talking, so there would be no noise.
The broadcast kept playing various prompts. After confirming that there was no important information, we started looking for places to stop and watch the game. In fact, we came a little late. It was already crowded here. It should be difficult to find a location, but there were so many beauties in our guild! The American cows saw a large group of beautiful women coming over and moved out an open space for us to the center of the venue. After all the players of our guild sat down, the cows began to lean into the middle like bulls in heat. Nowadays, girls are more generous. Just be dumb, just be dumb, anyway.
It's not cheap. So there is a huge difference between the edges of our guild and other guilds. On the edges of other guilds, two guilds often compare and sarcastize each other, but we are trying our best to make a good relationship. Some of the more handsome cows who are more capable of being good at Taoism are even pulled directly into the area of our guild to chat. Those lucky people with such honor feel that they have fallen into the Kingdom of Women, and they are so happy that they don't know the east, south, west and north. Of course, I can be sure that if the eyes can kill people, these lucky people have been shot and killed countless times by countless pairs of jealous eyes.
We sat down here and asked the little hawk: "Don't we have to sign up for the competition?"
Wolf replied instead of the Hawk, "No, no. Do you see the open space in the middle of the venue? At the beginning of this competition, you will be notified that those who want to participate will enter the center of the venue. Just register and pay the money to play. Anyway, there is no need to check stimulants in the game."
"So that's how it is."
As he was talking, the radio suddenly rang again, but this time the sound became a man, and the volume was obviously much louder. "Hello everyone, I am the commentator Kaka Luka, and I am very happy to watch the Major League Games with you again."
Another magnetic baritone followed: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the narrator Scanvia."
The third voice joined, and it was a female voice: "Hello everyone, I am the cute Lulukalu. Today, the three of us will give you a full explanation. But before that, please ask the organizer to represent Mr. Sleepy Dragon to arrange the process and important matters for everyone to conduct the competition."
The fourth voice appeared, and at the same time I had seen the location of the radio station. The thing was a round station floating in the air. An old man appeared on it, and there were three people behind it, probably three commentators.
"Hello everyone, I am a sleepy dragon. I believe the old audience knows me, so there is not much nonsense here. I am also very anxious to watch the game, so I will only talk about the key points now. This time, our organization committee specially applied for a special competition request to the system. The system accepted the request and equipped us with advanced competition equipment. Please watch it on the court."
His hand pointed to the open space in the middle of the venue, and a ball of white smoke exploded there. After the smoke dissipated, a huge altar appeared in the venue. There was a red ring in the middle of the altar and it was rotating slowly. The middle of the ring was completely pitch black and there was no light, as if it was a black hole.
Sleepy Dragon continued: "This is the super mission competition space. The system has rebuilt a special competition world for us. There is a huge space for competitions in this, and there is no problem no matter whether it is made sound or damage. The contestants will enter here to participate in the competition later. In addition, the rings on everyone's hands are also equipment configured by the system. As long as you have this equipment, you can watch any position in the competition space at will from all angles. Everyone can choose the viewing angle and viewing position. Now I will teach you some operation tips. First of all, there is something on the top of this ring that looks like a gem, but it is actually a button. After the game starts, these things will light up a light red light, and the ring will take effect. When you press the button, the ring will switch between various modes. Let Lulu Kalu introduce various modes to you."
The girl walked up to the front and said, "Hello everyone, now I will introduce the arrangement and functions of these modes. When the game starts, your rings will directly enter the home mode. This mode is arranged by our professionals. The screen will constantly change between the main participating teams. Our staff will switch the screen to exciting locations at any time, and the commentary of our three commentators will also follow this home mode. If there are no special needs, you are recommended to use this mode to watch the game. If there are indeed special needs, you can press the button, and at this time
Enter the personnel tracking mode. After entering this mode, you need to imagine the team or personnel you want to track in your mind. The screen will automatically follow the person or team. If you are still unsatisfied, you can press the button again. At this time, the screen will enter free mode. In this mode, the advancement and movement of the screen are completely controlled by you. You can decide the angle and distance by yourself. If you press it again, you will return to the home mode and start to cycle again. Also, a prompt is that if you press the button for 5 seconds, you will exit the screen mode. Press once in the exit state to start the screen and directly enter the home mode."
Sleepy Dragon walked up again and said, "Okay, the operation is quite simple, I believe everyone understands it. Then I will start to announce the rules of this competition. This rule changes slightly from the previous ones. First of all, it is a question of the number of participants. Each participating team can have up to 21 mounts in this competition. It is best not to line up multiple teams with the same force, otherwise once it is discovered, it will be immediately disqualified and banned for four games. Now, please first ask the person who wishes to register to register in the venue, and then I will announce the following content."
As soon as this was said, the surroundings immediately became chaotic, and a large number of players and summoned creatures began to gather in the field. In addition to me and my 11 Lingyin Knights, there was also my magic pet special mixed formation. Ling General rode the steel claws to fight, Xiaochun rode Xiaoxue, and Lingling rode Bailang. For this special configuration, I specially asked Clark to make a saddle for Bailang. I occupied 15 positions by myself, and the remaining 6 positions were composed of Xiaoying, Rose, Eagle, Lark, Shura Purple, and Kris Dena.
When registering on the field, I asked to register with the mount as the standard. Those who signed up must cross that circle to enter the competition space. I signed up with Ye Ying, and all the Knights of Lingyin used heavy ankylos. In addition, Xiaoxue, Bailang, and my steel claws were also registered. The mount of the Eagle is a war horse, the rose is a steel claw, the eagle is a unicorn, and the lark is a pegasus. Shura Ziyi and Kris Dena use both steel claws. The combat power and speed of the guild guardian beasts are second to none, and there may be no routes in the competition. If there is a mud, the steel claws will definitely have an advantage over the war horses.
After the registration, everyone entered the competitive space, but strangely, the location where we appeared was an infinite space. Under the feet was a white luminous body that extended unlimitedly, with no boundaries at all, and the top of the head was infinite darkness. I don’t know what was there. Such a black and white two-dimensional space had a very strong visual impact effect, and everyone was stunned for a while when they came in. When Rose and the others were looking around, I suddenly noticed that there was a particularly conspicuous person in the crowd there.
Rose noticed my abnormality. "What are you looking at?"
"Did you see that person?" I pointed to the distance.
"Is it the guy in red armor?"
"No. The one next to him talked to him."
"What's wrong with him?"
I gathered everyone over and said, "Did you see that person over there, the one riding monster talking to a man in red armor next to me?"
"Yeah." Everyone nodded.
Xiaoying suddenly said, "Isn't that the God of Gun? Why did he come to participate?"
"Gun God?" Rose said in surprise: "Is it the guy with an attack power of over one million that Black Bear mentioned?"
I nodded: "Everything is good. When the game starts later, be careful of him. If he wants to shoot, don't be able to force him. This guy has too high attack power."
"I understand. We will be careful." This time I brought all the masters. As soon as I heard me, I immediately understood that I needed to be cautious. Only the impulsive rookie would say arrogantly when he heard the enemy was powerful and he would say something to settle others by himself.
In order not to have premature conflicts, we deliberately moved to the periphery. Anyway, the place here is very large. It seems that there are many people who have signed up, at least more than 10,000 people. According to the ratio of 21 people, there are at least 900 teams here. However, considering that there will be no full teams with 21 people, the actual teams should be more than 1,500. It is really terrifying to have so many people compete for the only winner bonus.
After finally signing up, the sound of the sleepy dragon sounded again. "Okay, now the registration is over. There are 2,332 teams registered for this competition, with a total of mounts of 17,213. Although the number of teams is not the largest, the number of mounts has set the highest record since the start of the major leagues. The last record was 16,997 mounts. Okay, let's start the rule setting. Many rules have changed this time. First of all, the team mode will be automatically activated according to the team at the time of registration. The team channel will always be turned on and cannot be closed manually. However, all participants will lose their connection with the outside world, and you will not be able to use any chat mode to communicate with the outside world. Another point is that your teleportation ability will be temporarily closed, and the competition is prohibited from using teleportation."
Speaking of this, everyone started experimenting. Sure enough, the private chat completely failed, and my teleportation ring also failed. As for Phantom, he was not a mount or a rider, and he was not allowed to use it at all.
"If all players go offline during the game, they will be regarded as automatically abandoning. Once again, they will appear on the altar at the audience's scene. The same is true for players who die in the middle. If the dead man has a resurrection mage around him, he can resurrect the soul stays for 120 seconds. If the resurrection is successful, he will drop one level, but he can still play. If the resurrection fails, he will drop five levels at one time, and he will immediately resurrect on the altar outside, but he will not lose equipment during the game. In addition, if the summoning creatures are participating in the game instead of the player, it will be a little different after death. If it is a one-time summoning object that cannot be resurrected, it will disappear permanently. If it is a resurrection summoning object, it will disappear temporarily and will return to normal immediately after the game ends. The resurrection summoning object dies and the player's resurrection failure will drop five levels."
"Fortunately, the punishment is not very serious." Kris Dena sighed.
Rose smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."
Shura Ziyi also said, "That's right, what are you worried about with Sister Rose, the super resurrection mage? What's the big deal about dropping level one."
The sleepy dragon continued: "Don't leave your mounts and walk for a long distance, but you are allowed to leave your mounts intermittently. Each time you leave the mount, the straight-line distance from the mount cannot be greater than 550 meters, otherwise it will be automatically teleported out to determine that the rider is abandoned, but the mount will stay and continue to participate. Players can use any means to attack each other. If you can move, you can transport the magic crystal cannon. But please note that the condition for victory is to complete the schedule first, not kill the most. In the past, several masters often turned upside down but made a novice win the championship. I don't think you want to fail because of this stupid reason, right?"
After a moment of pause, the sleepy dragon said solemnly: "There are some changes here that are different from before. I hope everyone will pay attention to it. At the beginning of the game, each team will be assigned half a token, and take the token to get the other half of the token, and then merge the tokens to reach the end. There is a portal at the end, and the mount carrying the entire token passes through the space gate to determine the victory. Note that the victory of this competition is determined by the mount not the rider. If the rider dies, the mount will pass the token with the token, which will be considered a victory. However, if the mount is dead, the rider will be immediately teleported out to determine the failure. Therefore, the rider is not the most important thing, and the mount is the key. In the game, you can compete for the tokens of other teams. Teams without the entire token will be no. Even if they reach the end, it is not.
Tokens cannot be taken out of the competitive space, and the token will be exposed when going offline or death, so don't try to make the other party lose the token permanently by carrying someone else's token. The only way to get the token is to hold his token by yourself. In addition, the token cannot be placed in the storage space, and it is absolutely not allowed to be put on the body. It is only allowed to hold it with your hands or with your mouth. If your mount is willing to hold it for you. Another thing to say is that if both teams pass through the portal with the token, the system shall prevail, which team will pass through the entire first, that is, the last part of the body or armor shall prevail, not who jumps to the door first. Below, Kakaluka will introduce the competition process to you."
Kakaluka's voice sounded: "Let me introduce the competition process. First of all, the players are already in the waiting area. The team leader will select the track type later. The system will randomly arrange an initial position according to the type selected. After reaching the initial position, you will find some things on the ground. These include half a token of your team, a map, and a prompt sign with purpose information. The function of the token has been introduced just now. I will introduce two other items. There will be some pictures or text on the prompt sign. From these things, you can find the prompt information for reaching the destination. The map is a map of the entire competition area, and it is quite detailed. After guessing the prompt information, look for it on the map.
Just find the destination and walk over it. In order to increase the difficulty, you will encounter various dangers during the game, some of which are natural disasters, and some are monsters that block the way. But be aware that some of the NPCs in the game are NPCs that guide you. These NPCs are not necessarily human-shaped, but may also look like monsters. If you kill your NPCs, then prepare to explore and move forward by yourself! Of course, if you can kill NPCs of your opponent, you will be lucky. The starting points of each team will be completely separated in the game, which means that you will not be able to see each other at the beginning, but the routes in the later stage will be less and less, and there will be more opportunities to meet. There is only one last section of the road, and the competition will become more and more intense. Everyone should be mentally prepared."
The sleepy dragon began to say again: "Okay, let's talk about a few regulations in the end. Summoned creatures outside the registration list are not allowed in the game. This system will automatically prohibit it. You can't summon even if you want to summon it. Another point is that the captain of each team has a privilege, that is, it can summon a flying creature for air reconnaissance. Flying creatures can be either brought by themselves or provided by us. Flying creatures only have one life. If they are brought by themselves, they will automatically be reclaimed after death. They cannot be summoned again before the game ends. If they do not have a summonable flying beast, we
A talking macaw can be provided. The parrot we provide will disappear automatically after it dies, and does not occupy the position of a demon pet or a demon servant, but is only temporarily used. Each team can attack other teams' reconnaissance flying beasts, and the flying beasts can also attack each other. But be careful, the flying beasts are absolutely not allowed to attack participants and mounts, nor can they get tokens and help eliminate monsters. This is all foul. Once the rules are violated, the captain will be kicked out of the competition space, of course the mount will still be left. Okay, all the key points have been introduced, and the contestants will start to choose the track type."
I quickly asked everyone: "What should we choose?"
"What are some choices?"
I looked at the pop-up panel: "There is a slider that can be pulled left and right. There is a rugged shortcut on the left and a long road on the right. There is an explanation on it, so let me take a look. It says that the road on the left is shorter, but the monsters are more complicated, and even a large maze filled with monsters. The road to the right is easier to walk, but the length is longer. There is even a monster that is not seen purely fighting for speed on a straight road of hundreds of kilometers."
Rose immediately said, "Show us the length of the slider."
I reached out to both sides of the slider to compare the length, and I could see this damn panel! Rose pointed at my left hand. "This is a difficult shortcut, right?"
"kindness."
To be continued...
