Chapter 229: No Progress

Considering that the Yanxia Cup is approaching, Xia Chiyu and the four of them usually give up leveling, except for the two artifacts that have not yet come out of the time, they basically practice each other in the competition clothes for the rest of the time. In addition, they also plan to continue to participate in the arena in the official clothes, so that they can practice their skills and brush the ladder level.

"However, you need at least three people to participate in the ladder, right? Otherwise, we won't be able to participate in the ring match, and we can't just play 2v2, right? Personally, I think our weakness is 3v3. Xia Chiyu sighed.

"Then you come and change it with me, Lacey and I don't want to brush those broken books anymore." Su Xing pouted and said, his dark circles looked particularly heavy.

"I'm actually fine, it's all because you're too stubborn, and you have to brush up the dunge......on," Lacey said with a wry smile, "Actually, it's okay to hit once an hour, because the artifact drop rate only stacks once an hour." ”

"I just can't believe it!" Su Xing roared angrily, "It's you! Is it really good to be so loose every day!? We don't have 24 hours a day, what if the artifact is swiped away by the studio! ”

Regarding artifacts and holy weapons, due to the low drop rate before, the enthusiasm of players to farm artifacts was not very high, so the White Crane Company came up with a gimmick that was useless.

That is, the mechanism of the drop rate blessing, if there is an artifact in the drop list in the dungeon, then each time the dungeon is refreshed, the drop rate will increase by 50%, and this effect only stacks once an hour.

While a 50% increase may seem tempting, artifact drop rates are generally only 1 in 1,000 or even lower, so it's just a pointless increase from 1 in 1,000 to 1.5 in 1,000.

However, this is the same as the concept of selling a thousand for a thousand and a thousand for a product with an original price of two thousand, the idea of "discount" and "discount" is always easy to tempt, coupled with the hype behind the White Crane Company itself......

After such a "artifact drop rate blessing" buff came out, there were a few more posts saying that they had swiped artifacts and holy artifacts and the like. The following party has appeared in a steady stream, which is the operating means of the White Crane Company.

"Actually, it doesn't matter, we already have two high-level artifacts here, and I believe that the Death Star Alliance will not ignore this bait." Xia Chiyu frowned and sighed slightly, "Anyway, the second middle school swordsman went to pick up people today, it seems that I am the only one who can go to the arena." Now there are two people missing, but it's a real headache. ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu ignored the expectation on Su Xing's face, and turned to Li Feifei and the three behind him: "Do you want to be together?" ”

"Huh? Playing the arena? Zhang Zinuo asked with some surprise. Then he resigned, "But...... I'm a good eater, I haven't had much contact with pvp! Don't do it, it'll hold you back......"

"Playing the arena!?" Li Feifei said excitedly: "Okay, good! I'm going too! ”

Lin Qianxue smiled and said, "Do you want to play the arena?" Seems interesting. Well, I'll go too. ”

"Alright, the four team members are ready." Xia Chiyu smiled and waved his hand to Su Xing, "You guys continue to farm the artifact happily, I'm going to fight in the arena." ”

So, Su Xing had no choice but to run to continue brushing the copy, while Xia Chiyu gathered with Lin Qianxue, Li Feifei, and Zhang Zinuo in the game. Teleported to the Prepare Volleyball Arena in the Region.

"I've never been to this place directly as a member of the competition, I feel so nervous......" Zhang Zinuo hugged his chest with some excitement and smiled, "What should I do later?" ”

"Don't be nervous, just leave it to me. Later, the door in front of you will open and you will play. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly and said, "In other words, Zinuo's reaction is the same as when I go to a high-end hotel or bar." ”

"It's the first time for people." Zhang Zinuo frowned slightly and said coquettishly, then looked around and asked, "There is more." Will there be a lot of spectators outside, and if there are a lot of people watching, it will feel so embarrassing to lose......"

"The audience doesn't have to mind. Some people will be bored to watch the game, but today is not a holiday, most of the audience is virtual from the system, you can just treat them as NPCs. Xia Chiyu smiled and comforted.

"So, how are we going to fight? You're a 3v3 platoon, right? Lin Qianxue crossed her arms and asked, "Is it a random appearance?" ”

"Well, if no one chooses to play, it's going to be random from four people." Xia Chiyu nodded and said, "But if I choose to compete alone, and the three of you don't choose, I will be 100% selected, and then one of the three of you will be randomly selected." ”

"I'm so nervous...... What to do? Zhang Zinuo asked uneasily while pacing on the spot.

"It's really okay...... Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, and then explained: "The matching level of the three of you is zero, even if you add me, the average level is only more than a thousand, and you will start matching from the rookie team, don't worry." ”

"But why do you want to fight like this?" Li Feifei asked puzzled, "Why don't you play in the ring?" If you're a brother, you should be able to play 1v3 in the ring, right? Wouldn't it be a drag to play 3v3 with the three of us? ”

"It's not counting, the 3v3 queue is very fast, and there are a lot of rookie teams in the early stage, and the fight is very fast, a few minutes." Xia Chiyu said with a smile, "This is a method for many high-scoring players to quickly brush their level and number of games." ”

Generally, the trumpets of those great gods are like Xia Chiyu, just find a few people to lower their level, and then quickly brush the low-level team, so that the wins and losses are very fast, and if you can't win, you will withdraw, and you can use it to brush the ladder and the number of games.

After the high level, the number of teams will be relatively small, and an arena will only start when the number of people is full, so it often takes a long time to play the high level arena, and it is usually not until the evening or holidays when everyone is resting before the official start of the game. And there are many people who play 3v3, and there are many people with low levels, and they can enter almost as soon as they open the row.

Soon, their PvP options indicate that it's time for them to enter, and the four of them are teleported into the arena together.

"Wow, this is the 3v3 arena...... It feels so big, and it looks very small from the audience. Zhang Zinuo sighed while lying on the edge of the cage, and then turned his head excitedly and asked: "Eat fish, is this picture called Gulabash Arena?" ”

"It's not...... It's called the Hammer Arena. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, you guys are free to play." At this stage, I can usually solve it quickly by myself. ”

They waited in the arena and soon began the countdown of "5, 4, 3".

"Up." Xia Chiyu said, the fence in front of him opened, he walked through the passage of the players in front of him, the sight in front of him lit up, and finally came to the arena. Xia Chiyu quickly glanced at the three people opposite, the kitchen knife team of swordsmen, assassins, and great sword knights. In the early stage of the low segment, there will be more extreme and brainless seconds of remote combination, and it is easy to score in the low segment.

But after the segment is high, everyone is already familiar with this kind of team, and the opponent's long-range profession will not be so easy to be lost by the kitchen knife team, and the battle situation will be lengthened. This brainless kitchen knife team has no advantage.

Seeing the other party's profession, Xia Chiyu was relieved, and the other party undoubtedly chased after him brainlessly. And on his side is the dual swordsman and mage combination of Lin Qianxue and Zhang Zinuo, as long as he is alive, he will be fine.

Sure enough, the assassin immediately sneaked after the opening, and the Great Sword Knight and Swordsman rushed straight at him. This is the traditional style of fighting with kitchen knives, where the swordsman first flashes and sticks to the enemy at close range, and the great sword knight follows closely behind to charge and suppress, and the assassin appears to cooperate after quickly hitting a hard stun. The three of them worked together to kill each other's legal system and ranged in seconds.

But Xia Chiyu would not be so easily stuck by the other party, he didn't pay attention to the other party's swordsman, just turned sideways to avoid the swordsman's attack, and then raised his hand to the big sword knight behind. Several devil grass vines rose from under the Great Sword Knight and entangled him.

Without the support of the Great Sword Knight, it would be difficult for a swordsman to knock a mage out in a short period of time.

At this time, Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue surrounded this swordsman. However, in fact, it is not necessary, the opponent's melee skills are far less excellent than Xia Chiyu. He ducked his head to dodge the slash from the swordsman on the other side, then reached out and pressed it to the other's chest.

A dark red flame erupted, and the swordsman was directly blasted out of the stun state. Immediately, Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows. Not far behind Zhang Zinuo, he found a translucent shadow that flickered by, so he aimed his left hand at the Great Sword Knight and his right hand at Zhang Zinuo. A circle of lightning spread from Zhang Zinuo's side, and the other party's assassin suddenly appeared from the shadows.

The Devil Grass on the Great Sword Knight's body spread in all directions, entangling and dragging the swordsman who had fallen into a state of stiffness and the assassin who was paralyzed by electricity. At this time, the Great Sword Knight was still chopping the devil grass and trying to break free, and then he was hit by the swordsman and the assassin who dragged him over, and he fell into a hard stun state because of the impact damage.

"The Twelve Stars Watch, the Virgo Bondage......" Xia Chiyu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ground, summoning more than ten chains to trap the other party, and then raised his hands to aim at the three people who were bound, and summoned nine fireballs around them.

"It's almost over...... Tianluo Jiuyao, the stars are shining. Xia Chiyu said in a low voice, and the six-pointed star circle and the triangular circle appeared from under the feet of these three people, and the light arrows shot out wildly, detonating the fireball.

These players are novices in the end, and they don't know the design of the three buff stacking damage or damage reduction skills, let alone the hard stun protection, which was directly blown into residual blood by the ignition of the devil grass and the explosion of the fireball.

Seeing that the other party did not disperse quickly after being blown up, but continued to stand together in a group, Xia Chiyu suddenly shook his head, then squatted down and stretched out his hand to press on the ground, and a dark purple lightning quickly spread from the ground, transmitting back and forth between the three people, directly electrifying the three people's death-free charms in one go. The whole game took less than two minutes.

After all, this is on the official server, Xia Chiyu's damage is much higher than in the game server, and the players on the other side don't know how to design some damage reduction skills like those professional players, so Xia Chiyu can almost take away these players in one wave.

"Cut, it's boring." Lin Qianxue muttered dissatisfiedly, "Before they could make a move, these people died." ”

But Zhang Zinuo seemed relieved, and said with a wry smile: "I've always been worried that I accidentally pitted the fish, but fortunately, I roughly knew how to put my skills when I ate fish, so I didn't dare to step forward." ”

"Alright, the first game is over." Xia Chiyu smiled.

"In other words, the ladder level has actually been directly increased by more than seven hundred!" Li Feifei said in surprise, "Can even this kind of team reach the ladder level of more than two thousand?" ”

"Don't underestimate others," Xia Chiyu rubbed Li Feifei's brain and said, "This kind of kitchen knife team is very fast in the early stage, and it is brainless, so it doesn't need much cooperation." Generally, as long as you bring a long-range team from the middle to the low section, you will encounter this kind of brainless kitchen knife team. If you're not careful, you'll be dropped in seconds. I think we can keep eating this kind of team until we get to the rank of more than two thousand days. ”

And then, the facts are the same as Xia Chiyu guessed. The next four consecutive battles they encountered were all teams of assassins, swordsmen, and sword knights or similar combinations, and the four of them directly raised the level of more than two thousand heavenly ladders.

"It's so fast." Li Feifei said happily, "I'm actually more than 2,500 points!" I can't even imagine that I have two thousand points on this day! Sister Nuo......"

"I remember that two thousand points seem like I can change to a weapon for transmogrification!" Lin Qianxue was quick-witted, clapped her little hands and smiled happily, "There is a particularly beautiful one-handed sword!" I'll check it out later! ”

However, then Xia Chiyu smiled and said: "Okay, 3v3 will hit here, abstain." ”

"Huh!? Don't fight? Zhang Zinuo said unexpectedly, "But it's almost time to the quarterfinals." Wouldn't it be ...... to give up now?"

"Silly girl, it's hard to make it to the championship." Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly and touched Zhang Zinuo's head and said, "Although the players after that are not so professional, they will not be rookies enough to be 1v3 by me alone." ”

Xia Chiyu said, opened the ladder level and looked at it: "Moreover, now I have more than 5,000 ladder levels, and the ladders of the four of you have also reached more than 2,000, and the average ladder level has passed 3,000, and I will not improve if I continue to fight." ”

"That. What are we going to do? Lin Qianxue asked with her arms crossed.

"Let's go to the ring match, in the segment of 2,000 to 4,000, there are more people in the 1v1 ring match." Xia Chiyu said with a smile, "2v2 is more than 4,000 to 6,000 segments. And 3v3 is the most segmented people under 2,000 and over 6,000. ”

"yes, okay." Zhang Zinuo smiled sweetly and said that the small dimples on the side of his cheeks were particularly cute.

But it is said that the queue is fast, but judging from the estimated time. It was still more than an hour before the game could start. Xia Chiyu was chatting with Zhang Zinuo and the others while wandering around the 14th district.

After a while, Wake and Lacey arrived. Join their party directly through the Guò friends list.

"Yo, light bulbs." Xia Chiyu greeted them with a smile and said, "Come and shine." ”

"That's right, you'd be wrong to think I'd make it so easy for you to get off the list!" Su Xing smiled smugly. And Lacey said seriously: "No, it's just that there is enough activity over there, and I'm a little tired from brushing copies, so I want to come and play with you." ”

Saying that, Lacey asked Zhang Zinuo and the others with some concern, "Did I disturb you?" I saw that you didn't seem to be playing in the wild area, so I joined the ...... directly with Ah Xing."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Li Feifei smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said.

As a result, the three-person team increased to five, but all five of them were on the same team, which did not affect the time in the volleyball arena. After the five of them waited for another ten minutes, the ring match finally began.

"Alright, let's go in." Xia Chiyu said, and teleported to the arena with everyone.

"The most basic Roman gladiatorial arena is wonderful." Zhang Zinuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can rest assured, Ah Xing and Lacey are here, you can go up and play if you want, anyway, two of them should be able to easily destroy the other side when they play, right? This is a 1v1 tournament. Lin Qianxue pursed her lips and muttered, and then she sweetly said to Xia Chiyu: "Eat fish, let me play later, okay?" ”

"Okay, but the players in this segment are not weak." Xia Chiyu reminded that at this time, the names of the opposite team had been brushed out, Xia Chiyu looked at the names of the other party's characters, and immediately held his chin and said to himself: "Martial artist Vena, mage black and white Shuangsha and swordsman Toure, is it my illusion, or do the names of these three people look a little familiar." ”

"yes, I feel familiar too." Su Xing scratched his head and meditated.

"Well," Lacey asked curiously, "it seems like a studio team we bumped into a long time ago when we first started playing in the arena?" ”

"Oh, yes!" Xia Chiyu patted his head and said, "I remembered!" Then this can't let a few of you girls, the other side still has some strength, and this is also a good opportunity to see how much you have improved. ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu first chose to play, and then Reis and Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to take the first battle. After all, these three people have fought with them in the past. Then this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to test how much you have improved.

Soon, the countdown of "5, 4, 3" began on the field, and then with a "ding", the cage door in front of Xia Chiyu suddenly popped open. Xia Chiyu walked towards the arena with a smile and waved his hand: "You're welcome." ”

Xia Chiyu came to the arena, and the first to play on the opposite side was the black and white mage, Xia Chiyu vaguely remembered that this mage used dark spells and light spells together, and these two spells were used alternately to increase damage. However, it is a pity that it was Gu Qinyan who fought with this guy last time, and it can't be used as a reference for Xia Chiyu.

"I remember you." The black and white sneered as soon as he came on the field. "I didn't expect it to take so long, and finally let me run into it again."

"I'm not surprised, considering you're a studio, the probability of encountering it is quite high." Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile that the trumpet of the black and white trio, in order to facilitate the training, will keep his ladder level around this segment, so if Xia Chiyu wants to play in the arena, it is not surprising that he will meet them.

"yes. Now I think that helping the studio to take orders is actually beneficial sometimes. The black and white smirked and laughed, "This will give you a chance for revenge." ”

"Revenge? Is that what you think? Xia Chiyu smiled slightly, didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly waved his hand and threw a fireball at the black and white shuangsha. Black and white stomped their feet. released the Holy Light Barrier to block Xia Chiyu's fireball, and then raised his staff to aim at Xia Chiyu, and a black circle of light emerged from under Xia Chiyu.

"Oh, it's still the same routine." Xia Chiyu shook his head. Stamped his feet, only to see that the ground around him suddenly cracked to both sides, and the black magic circle was also invalid. In an instant, it dissipated into black smoke.

"You see, the bad thing about being a studio is that after such a long time, ......" Xia Chiyu said, raising his hand to aim at the black and white double evil, and the vines began to emerge from the ground and wrap around the black and white double evil.

The black and white steam immediately tapped his staff, and he cleverly used light attribute magic to corrode the devil grass. Devil grass is actually a wood-based spell strengthened by dark breath, and it is not good to slash with a sword with fire, and it is not obvious to tear it with strength, but as long as it is slightly touched with light magic, it can easily corrode and break, and it can also prevent its growth.

However, at the moment when the black and white twin evils eliminated the devil grass, a circle of pale yellow light enveloped him, and the flow of time around him slowed down instantly. Xia Chiyu snorted, waved his hands, and the wind behind him lifted the cloak behind him, and then waved his hands and threw out eight long swords composed of dark red flames.

The sword flew forward quickly, and came to a halt within the space-time slowing effect. Then Xia Chiyu kept waving his hands, and soon the black and white swords were covered with dense dark red long swords, about forty of them.

Then, Xia Chiyu stomped his feet, and a six-pointed star circle emerged from under the feet of the black and white double evil. Xia Chiyu clapped his hands lightly, lifting the effect of time and space slowdown, and those dark red flame arrows on the black and white sides immediately accelerated and flew towards him. At the moment when the black and white twin demons were about to use a stand-in to dodge, the six-pointed star circle under his feet lit up.

Six pillars of light struck him from six directions, locking him inside, and then an overwhelming array of flaming arrows pierced him, a firecracker-like explosion, and the health of the black and white demons began to plummet.

When the explosion of the flaming arrow finally stopped, the black and white twin demons had broken free, but they were beaten into a state of stun. This is all because the black and white double evil had time to break free from control before, but he didn't react in time, so he was hit by Xia Chiyu's second wave control zhì skill, and with the help of time slowdown, the hard stun protection had already been cleared at that time.

"Where did you just go?" Xia Chiyu breathed a sigh of relief, then came back to his senses, and pretended to smile suddenly: "Ah, that's right." After all this time, you still haven't made any progress. (To be continued......)
