Chapter 82: Game Tactics Research Center
Yang Hai quickly forgot about the girl with sunglasses with good skin. With the experience of living in Chenzhou City, Yang Hai didn't make anything wrong here in Rome. He found a small inn called "Roman Holiday" and stayed there. This small hotel is not luxurious, it can even be said to be a bit simple and simple, but Yang Hai didn't care too much.
It's not good to stay alone in a business hotel that is too luxurious, and it's easy to attract attention, so it's not very likely to be spotted, but it's better to be careful. Yang Hai really doesn't like these reporters, to be honest, these media haven't offended him much, and his disgust is purely for VIVA's injustice.
In order to be able to take a vacation without being disturbed, Yang Hai even asked Wagner to lie to the media, saying that he might also need to go to the Caucasus to compete, and then used a fake ID here in the Apennines to register. If it's a goof, it's a big joke.
Obviously, every year's draft attracts a lot of attention, and the draft is a big event in the world of professional gamers, and countless rookies take off here.
Fans of the city of Rome are also happy to come to see the draft, and while Italy's local talents have gone to Cloto, a large proportion of Europe's best seedlings have come to the Apennines and the Caucasus. Because the Apennines started early, even if they were eliminated here, if they were eliminated early, they could still try their luck in the South American Pampas, which started the latest game.
This small inn called "Roman Holiday" is a little more vegetarian, but fortunately, although the sparrows are small and well-equipped, although they do not enjoy any luxurious service here, they are still passable.
Yang Hai came to this conclusion after staying for a day.
Yesterday evening, two glamorous Italian girls came to the door to sell, Yang Hai hesitated for a moment or refused. Anyway, it's a person who has a girlfriend.,It's better to be modest, if you can't help it.γ
Crawled out of the health cabin in the room in the morning, the word climb is not an exaggeration, and he is a little uncomfortable with the angular stuck ground of this low-level cabin. After Yang Hai cleaned up, he planned to go to this long-famous Caesar City to have a good visit. As for what to visit...... He wasn't interested in the sights, so he had to check out the game-related stuff.
Because the draft is imminent, there are a lot of people living in the small hotel. Every year's draft, tens of thousands of young pros are drawn to each region, and in a record year, the Nile region has a full 110,000 participants.
This year is a big year for the draft, and many young masters have chosen to debut this year. There are generally fewer people in the draft year, and the Apennines area is not yet crowded, but even so, this small hotel is full.
The big year of the draft means that there are many professional players who have become famous at a young age to participate in the draft. Not to mention anything else, there are many people who have an impression in Yang Hai's mind, GONDO, AJ, TITAN, Tessaku, LEBRON, LVL-E, MC.G...... These are all strongmen. Ten people from each of the five major regions qualify, and fifty people can enter Modern Manor every year to become official professional players, and the competition is very cruel.
Therefore, there will be fewer people in the draft year, because the number of places is limited, and these already famous talents have a good chance of standing out, so there will be fewer places that are originally few. A lot of people will strategically forgo this year's draft, prepare seriously, and wait until next year.
The draft system is very cruel, first of all, the audition, each division selects a hundred people through the audition. And the audition is the most cruel part of the cruel draft, unless the strength is far beyond the peers, otherwise you will be eliminated if you are unlucky. For example, the special genius TITAN should be able to qualify if there is no accident, but if TITAN meets Yang Hai in the audition...... Needless to say, this result is not to be said. β¦,
The audition is a complete elimination system, there is no possibility of resurrection, as long as you lose one game, you can only come back next year.
After surviving the audition, there is a 100-in-50 game, a team of two, and two wins in three games. It's good that it is eliminated at this stage, because there is still the possibility of resurrection.
Then there is the 50-in-25 game, two people in a team, four wins in seven games. The winner advances, and the loser waits for the repechage.
Twenty-five promoters appeared, and the other seventy-five people were about to compete for the five resurrection places. Once the five resurrectors are decided by the game, then add the twenty-five who have already qualified, and the draft begins to move into the third stage.
These 30 people play a round-robin, the round-robin game is double-matched every day, winning a game to get 3 points, a draw to score 1 point, losing a game to 0 points, the implementation of the point system, after the end of the round-robin 10 people with the highest score qualified.
The round-robin tournament is another cruel part of the draft, although it does not bring heavy psychological pressure to the players like the audition, but it is a physical battle. What is the concept of a one-day double-race? Each club, because it has to play league and cup competitions, so it is usually said that there are two games a week, and the average club will be eliminated early in the cup competition, and the professional players of the last club are only a single game a week. But even so, the club still needs rotation to keep the pros physically fit, and you can see how scary it is to play two games a day. While the intensity of the league and draft round-robin stages is not the same, the dense schedule is an ordeal for every participant.
Entering the stage of the round-robin competition, even Yang Hai is unlikely to retain his strength. Because of the fact that he had to qualify in advance, Yang Hai had no other choice but to win. If he has to pretend to be X to the end, he will have to spend more effort to win the opponent, in this case, he will definitely lose his strength after more than ten days of non-stop matching, and it is impossible for him to go to the Masters with a tired body.
After the round-robin tournament, the ten people who will qualify for this region have been decided. Then there is the last step, the top 10 ranking battle.
The qualifying battle is very important for those players who want to get a good ranking in the draft, but Yang Hai must have given up the top 10 qualifying battle because he was going to play the Masters. It's not a big deal to qualify for 10th place, but it's all out anyway.
Fifty players from five regions will enter the famous draft mecca Modern Manor, where some senior and current outstanding professional players will teach them part-time teachers, and some competitions will be held in Modern Manor, when all clubs will send people from the transfer department to observe the performance of the drafters, select their satisfied professional players, and decide to sign. Modern Manor is a pure show, Yang Hai is not much interested in participating in the training camp of Modern Manor, but this is a tradition that cannot be violated, and he can only obediently abide by it. Fortunately, the dust has settled on the Masters by the time of the training camp, and it will not affect the schedule.
This year's E-TYPE results are the second-to-last in the league, the penultimate club has an 85 chance of drawing the champion lottery, the penultimate club has a 10 chance of drawing the champion lottery, and the third-to-last has a 5 chance of drawing the champion lottery, that is, if the captain's hand is not red to the point of pearl jade white jade hand, then the first round of draft signing in the hands of E-TYPE must be the list of eye signs.
There is no doubt that the club with the champion must want Yang Hai's name, this is not arrogance, this is self-confidence, and POSEIDON's strength is obviously higher than that of professional players in the same grade. But if it weren't for the E-TYPE champion sign, Yang Hai would definitely refuse - he was ready to be the leader.
When he came down the stairs of the hotel, Yang Hai was pinched on the ass by the proprietress who still had the charm of MILFs when he staggered, a fact that made Yang Hai dumbfounded. By the time he realized that he had been taken advantage of, the proprietress had already disappeared around the corner of the stairs humming a song. β¦,
Gee...... What an open country......
In the past, when Lin Bo talked to Yang Hai about Italy, he said that he must be careful when walking in the underground passages of Italy, otherwise it is easy to be taken advantage of, and Yang Hai didn't take it seriously at that time. After being played a hooligan in broad daylight, Yang Hai felt that what Lin Bo said was true.
He shook his head, tomorrow is the draft, today let go of the fun, as for being taken advantage of or something...... Don't think about it.
It's a big deal to take advantage of others and take it back.
Yang Hai thought very shamelessly.
There were already a few people eating breakfast in the small restaurant of the inn, and Yang Hai liked the pudding here, but it was only the pudding. There is no way to synthesize this thing of pudding, and it is also a kind of raw food, and as for the rest, I don't want to thank you.
"A plate of blueberry pudding, a glass of milk, thank you."
After ordering, Yang Hai sat by the window and watched the view of the streets of Rome. In general, large cities are in consideration of saving land, and pedestrians are not allowed to walk on the ground, and pedestrians can only take the underpass, except for carnival days such as game festivals. One maglev after another drove by quickly, and the high-rise buildings outside the window were lined up, with a strong modern taste, but the patterns such as mecha or Tetris on the curtain wall gave this modern city a touch of game magic, which was Yang Hai's favorite feeling.
Yang Hai remembered the strangely shaped building he saw yesterday, and he suddenly remembered why it felt strange for Lu to use the shape of an obelisk.
It seems to be called the Roman Game Tactics Research Center.
Well, that sounds like a nice place, I'll go there and play in a while-
This time, the taxi driver Yang Hai met was obviously very talkative.
This is an Italian balding old man who looks like he is running around, seeing Yang Hai's casual dress, he thought Yang Hai was a traveler who came to Italy, so he enthusiastically handed over a cigarette.
Yang Hai pushed back, closed the car door, and said, "Game Tactics Research Center." β
"Ha Luha, this guest, it seems that you are also a very knowledgeable game fan." The driver smiled heartily, but when he said the word "knowledgeable", Yang Hai always felt that the driver's smile was a little strange: "For tourists coming to Rome, if you are a fan of games, you must not miss the Game Research Center." Trust me, it's definitely a place worth visiting, but if you're not Italian, it might be boring for you. β
As he spoke, he laughed again.
Yang Hai listened to it, the Italians are really conceited in this regard...... But the discussion he heard in the restaurant yesterday was still in his ears, and he couldn't do it without admiring it.
"Don't you really want to take a bite?". The taxi driver asked.
"No, smoking is not good for nerves, including secondhand smoke." Yang Hai reminded him tactfully.
The taxi driver frowned and said, "Ahhhh
The driver's tone is very proud, and in Italy, the status of professional gamers is very high.
"Oh." Yang Hai replied nonchalantly.
The driver said to himself, and his tone was very proud: "My son has loved games since he was a child, and when I gave birth to him, I didn't expect him to embark on this glorious road, Ha Luha, he is much better than my father, who is a taxi driver." He was admitted to the Naples Play Academy and graduated this year. β
Path of Glory...... That's how Italians call pro gamers. They thought it was a glorious path, forged with hard work, sweat, and the blood of the enemy. β¦,
"Will he participate in the draft when he comes back from graduation?" Yang Hai asked, and then he realized what a stupid question he had asked.
"Draft? Haluha, guest, you still don't know much about the gaming world. The driver shook his head: "How can the Italians go to the draft?" β
Yang Hai did not answer.
The driver continued, "MY SON'S IDOL IS TONY, AND HE HOPES THAT HE WILL BE AS GREAT AS TONY IN THE FUTURE. It's a bit difficult, but dreams are always good, aren't they? βγ
"Yes......" Yang Hai replied with some fascination.
Seeing that Yang Hai was not interested, the driver didn't talk about the son who made him proud, but talked about the Game Tactics Research Center.
"Don't look at the name of this institution, the Game Tactics Research Center in Rome is probably the most authoritative game tactics research institution outside of the Hanoi Tower Library in Naples." The driver said, "Guest, you may not understand why you need to set up a separate research center for game tactics, or set up a library, for us Italians, games are not only a science, but also an art, and even if you invest a lot in the study of art, it is worth it." Every researcher in the Game Tactics Research Center has a very deep understanding of the game, and their research results are highly valued by even the big names in Kloto."
The driver kept telling how sharp the Game Tactics Research Center was, which made Yang Hai excited. After bidding farewell to the driver, who had a particularly active mouth, Yang Hai got out of the car and walked into the obelisk-like building.
Pushing open the door, the first feeling is that it is a little deserted, there is no greeter in front of the door, and there are no guards. Looking inside, Yang Hai was dumbfounded, it was actually a dead end.
The road ahead was blocked by a wall......
What's going on here?
He suddenly recalled the driver's words.
"Come and visit the Game Tactics Research Center? You're a savvy game fan. β
Then he smiled strangely.
This place...... It can't be a problem, right? Not a lot of words
Yang Hai subconsciously looked behind him, wanting to see if the door would suddenly close like in a movie, and then he was trapped inside. But this bloody thing didn't happen, and when he stopped in front of the door, the automatic door would still pop open.
But he couldn't go any further, and the road was blocked by the wall.
Yang Hai still doesn't believe it, could it be that if this place is blocked, your employees won't come and go? How can any company or organization block its own door? He decided to wait and see here.
He didn't have to wait long.
Two small children walked in dressed formally, one of them wearing a bow tie. They ignored Yang Hai and walked to the wall.
A tall and thin child who looked like a bamboo pole said a little nervously, "Luca, do you think we can go in today?" β
The boy with the bow tie named Luca shook his head: "Oh my God, Sammy, if you can get in so easily, is it still called the Game Tactics Research Center?" I hope today's topic is simpler......"
Oh? Yang Hai wondered in his heart, what kind of statement is this?
He approached the two young men, and only then did he realize that there was a small screen on the stone wall of the gambling road they were facing them, but the wall was cyan, and the screen was also cyan, so he didn't notice it.
He walked over and looked over and saw that the screen readβ
Map: White Deer Harbor
Character: Agile
Equipment Options (Selected): Round-shaped Saber, Winged Lion Submachine Gun, International Standard Body Armor and Mask, Full Set of Functional Grenades (only flash grenades and tear gas remain)
Combat Type: Heads-up
Description of the situation: The other party's intellectual character is in... The commanding heights of the container in the direction of the bell set up a sniper point, the standard suit of the Chilean character, fully equipped, and his side dodged in the V-shaped pass in the upper left of Bailu Harbor, and the leg muscles were strained at level B. β¦,
Q: What is the key to a safe escape?
Luca looked dazed: "White Deer Harbor...... V-shaped pass on the top left...... How could anyone jump there? That's a dead end......"
Sammy said dissatisfiedly: "This is a question of life and death, and any hypothesis in the question of life and death can be used." β
Lukka said unconvinced: "I know that this is a matter of life and death, I'm just complaining, complaining, do you understand?" βγ
"It's getting harder," Sammy said frustratedly, "and I don't have any ideas......"
Yang Hai watched from behind, and also felt that the person who came up with this question of life and death was perverted enough. This question can't be done if you don't have a lot of experience in the game, behind the V-shaped pass in the upper left corner of Bailugang, it happens to be the sniper blind spot of the sniper rifle, use the back saber to jam the pass, change the angle, you can move forward to the sniper blind spot, and then it will be good to rush out of this dead end, although it is also within the field of view of the sniper scope, but because of the blind spot, the sniper is invisible at the moment of rushing out of the sniper. For masters, dodging snipers is enough for a split second.
So the answer to this life-and-death question is to pull the blind spot at the angle of the return saber card.
Yang Hai stepped forward and asked, "Can you go in if you solve this question of life and death?" βγ
The two children said weakly, "Yes." They didn't expect Yang Hai, a passer-by, to be able to solve this problem.
Yang Hai was thinking about answering, the door at the back opened, and a person walked in. Yang Hai looked back and whistled. It's a coincidence that it's not a book - it's actually the girl in sunglasses I saw in the restaurant yesterday. Yang Hai remembered the arrogant appearance of this woman yesterday, and remembered that the result of that game would probably hit her hard, and couldn't help laughing silently.
Dietrich is one of the researchers at the Center for Game Tactics Research. To be honest, Dietrich was deeply impressed by the somewhat mysterious man yesterday, she thought it was just a chance encounter, but she didn't expect to meet again today. Dietrich was immediately interested, does this person want to solve the problem and enter the obelisk? Dietrich was well aware of the perverted nature of these questions, which she and her colleagues had written to embarrass those who came to them, in order to make them retreat and not disturb their research.
But if it's this man......
"Hi, beautiful young lady." Yang Hai smiled and said, "What was the result of yesterday's game?" β
Dietrich's face was a little red, and she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart, couldn't the old lady look away yesterday? This man is cautious, and he exposes people's shortcomings as soon as he comes up, which is not a good thing.
"You won." Dietrich said softly.
Yang Hai blinked: "Do you work here?" βγ
"Yes...... Dietrich's eyes rolled, but they were blocked by her sunglasses. Yang Hai didn't wear sunglasses today, Dietrich looked at that tough face and snorted: "But I won't take you in." If you have the ability, go and solve the problem, and you can enter the obelisk if you solve all five questions. β
"Beautiful Miss, may I ask Fang's name?" Yang Hai felt that this woman was a little interesting.
"If you can get in, I'll tell you." Dietrich said.
With a chuckle, she took out a card and swiped it in the card slot at the bottom of the screen, and a gap opened in the cyan wall, and Dietrich walked in, and the wall immediately closed again, and it looked like a complete wall.
"It's a mystery." Yang Hai muttered.
Dietrich looked at the closed wall and thought to herself that no matter how powerful that bearded man was, these five questions of life and death would be enough for him to do tomorrow. A careful-eyed man deserves it
The old lady wanted to take you in, but now you can stay outside by yourself
Before the thought could fully pop into my mind, the wall moved again.
Dietrich's eyes widened as she watched as the walls cracked little by little. The unshaven, angular face, with a languid and unflattened smile appeared in front of her again. At the depth of the beard, the two children stared at the man as if they were looking at some kind of monster.
Dietrich knew that her expression might be similar to that of the two children.
Five questions...... Five questions are solved like this?
That's it?
It wasn't until the bearded man walked up to her that Dietrich realized that it wasn't a dream, it was real.
"Beautiful Miss, may I ask Fang's name?"
"I ...... My name is...... Merrien? Shireen? Dietrich. Dietrich knew that she must be acting like a goose, and quickly calmed down, and said softly, "Bearded, good strength." Since you want to visit the Tactical Research Center, I'll be your guide. β
"Oh......" Yang Hai was a little depressed, bearded...... Do I look that old?
Dietrich had already walked forward, and the wall blocking the gate made Yang Hai deeply realize that this game tactics research center was not a normal place, since someone led the way, he immediately followed ......,
