Chapter 228: Hot Summer Cup
Looking at Su Xing's determined expression, Xia Chiyu knew that it was not good, and estimated that he must be using the active domain skill, but at this time it was too late to stop him. Sure enough, the awakening appeared from behind the big bone, his right hand raised in front of him, the dark aura on his body was great, and two strange evil rays flashed behind the facial armor.
But what made Xia Chiyu breathe a sigh of relief was that the dark aura on his body suddenly dissipated, and he also transformed from the demon king Noitra to an ordinary state: the dark aura had been exhausted.
"Ahhh Actually at this time! Su Xing covered his head and complained.
"Haha, don't blame me now, even God is helping the righteous side!" Big Bone smirked, swinging the sword that had turned into a long-handled weapon in his drawn-like state, and a circle of strong wind surged from his side, sweeping towards the awakening. At this moment, the audience on the field exploded instantly, and everyone began to cheer and cheer for the big bones, and the audience cheered for a while.
But at this time, the corners of the awakened mouth suddenly flashed a sneer: "It's strange ......"
I saw that the moment I woke up and was hit by the big bone, my body turned into a dark mist and dissipated, and then fell from the top of the big bone in an instant, and my right hand turned into a palm knife and slashed on the ground. A black crack appeared in the chest of the big bone, and then he also entered a state of stiffness. Seeing this, there was an uproar and lamentation on the field, and many people shouted "Mistake!" "Can't connect!" and so on.
However, the audience is just an audience after all, and at this time, Dagu's health value has bottomed out, and he is powerless to return to the sky. And the awakening raised his hands and roared, "See!?" The villain wins! β
Xia Chiyu sighed slightly: "Anyway, it's a grand slam, and I don't have to play." β
It doesn't matter if the organizers are getting the results they want, and the crowd is paying more attention to the match than ever before. The only dissatisfaction is probably only Da Gu himself, who worked hard to participate in this small breaking competition, but he didn't get popularity, and he didn't get a dime in the bonus. What's more, he also exposed his skills.
It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his soldiers, and Xiao San ran away with others. And the bonus is actually counted, the key is to expose his skills in this season's design, so he must redesign it later.
Probably because of this, Da Gu came out of the landing warehouse, ignored the hugs of Xia Chiyu and Lin Qianxue and others, came to them and slammed the game helmet on the ground, and said coldly: "This matter is not over yet, I tell you that I will bring my real teammates in the next competition." Don't blame my men for being ruthless. β
"Oh? Even if you are embarrassed, do you want to bring the whole team to embarrass you? Gu Qinyan asked in a cold voice.
"Hmph, we'll see!" Da Gu's face sank, and he turned his head and left in front of everyone at the scene, leaving a few embarrassed anchors to clean up the mess. Those anchors had to help Da Gu find some excuses to explain to the audience: "Okay, our big Gu players are in a bad mood because of losing the game, we don't need to mind too much, people, they always have a temper, right?" β
"So. Now it's time to award trophies and bonuses to the winners......"
However, the audience at the scene was not interested in the award ceremony of Xia Chiyu's new team at all, although the game was indeed very exciting, and Xia Chiyu's four-person watch was also very good. But the ending of this grand slam is not interesting at all.
But not everyone at the scene was uninterested, and some people were quite concerned about the outcome of the competition, and asked the organizers for all the videos of the competition.
"That's probably the skill of Big Bone, it's the same as we guessed. The details have changed. But don't take it as a reference, he should continue to modify this skill after that. The L.S. Team coach whispered to another person in English over the phone, "Also, I might have some footage that interests you." Want to take a look? β
"Oh? What a video. A man on the other side asked with interest in English.
"A new team, the new team of the Speed Squad in Huaxia, the skills of those four people...... Very distinctive, very interesting design, I think you might be interested. The coach of the L.S. team chuckled under his breath, "I'll send you some clips of them from the game footage, and after watching it, if you're interested, we can negotiate the price again." β
"Hmph, money is not a problem, hurry up and send it over to see first." The man said and hung up.
On the other hand, Xia Chiyu and others started the celebration of the debut Grand Slam on a private jet.
"Cheers!" Everyone shouted in unison, clinking the champagne in their hands.
"Do you have peanuts?" Wake up and Erlang's legs, and asked proudly, "Don't you have anything to say about me, a great hero who has made a big bone solo?" β
"This time you did a good job," Xu Shuo took a sip of champagne and smiled, patting Xia Chiyu on the shoulder, "There is no doubt that it is the best choice for you to assume the role of the captain of this team, although your skills and skills may not be the most distinctive of this team, but in terms of play and ability, no one can beat you, continue to lead this team to victory in the future." β
Xia Chiyu understood the meaning behind Xu Shuo's words, indeed, in terms of skill design, Gu Qinyan's skills may be the most distinctive, and when cooperating, there is no doubt that Lacey's ability is the most suitable for team battles, and Lacey is indispensable when fighting in multiple people, and the most technical in the team, although everyone may not want to admit it, but it is actually awakening.
However, as Xu Shuo said, the skill of awakening is "not stable enough". In many cases, awakening can instantly beat the enemy to the point of residual blood by "gambling", but if it is not stable enough, it is likely to be counterattacked.
"Tsk, it's actually this guy who is the captain." Su Xing pursed his lips and said unhappily, then he rubbed his hands and smiled: "Anyway, this time the 30,000 bonus, we can discuss how to divide the spoils, right?" β
"After deducting taxes, twenty-four thousand, six thousand for one person." Gu Qinyan said with a flat face.
"I'm only six thousand! Lao Tzu is tired like this, six thousand? Su Xing asked incredulously.
Xu Shuo smiled faintly: "You can't say that, do you know how much sponsorship this competition can get for you?" Defeating all the first-tier professional players in all three events in one fell swoop is quite a remarkable achievement. And that one in the ring can also prove that you guys have enough potential, and I'm sure there will be people willing to sponsor it. β
"Then celebrate more sponsorships." Lacey said with a smile, and then everyone raised their glasses and cheered.
However, the competition lasted three full days. Holding three projects together really made them tired enough.
This kind of mini-tournament usually involves multiple events at the same time, either because of limited sponsorship and because of the limited sponsorship of the smaller tournaments, and secondly, it is also to force some of the stronger players to abandon certain events, so that other relatively weak teams can choose other events as a goal to earn prize money and win more popularity.
However, in the case of large tournaments, these events are played separately so that players have a period of time to recover, and most of the prize money is also the highest in multiplayer battles in 3v3, followed by 2v2, and the lowest in the ring.
Not long after the plane started, most of them fell asleep in a comfortable environment.
"Eat fish. Aren't you tired? Zhang Zinuo leaned over to Xia Chiyu and asked in a whisper.
"Well, I didn't play a lot in this game, and I was bottom most of the time. And the strength of the team against in the final is also very average. Xia Chiyu smiled faintly, and then looked at Gu Qinyan, who was curled up with a blanket next to him, and woke up with a big slump of sluggling sleep, "These two should be the most tired, right?" β
Saying that, Xia Chiyu looked at Reis, who was snuggling up to each other with An Ran, and smiled: "What about this guy...... I guess it was the mental pressure that crushed him this time. He's the kind of character that is easily influenced by other people. β
"Eating fish is really a captain's style." Zhang Zinuo covered his mouth and smiled softly, "I know everyone so well." β
"It's okay, it's because these guys are too easy to understand." Xia Chiyu yawned and said. Zhang Zinuo smiled, then patted his shoulder and said, "I don't mind, do you want to sleep on it?" β
"I always feel like the role is a little reversed, but ......," Xia Chiyu said. Shrugged, "I don't mind." β
As he spoke, Xia Chiyu leaned on Zhang Zinuo's shoulder, and a faint fragrance came from his side. Probably because of being outside for a few days. Zhang Zinuo didn't use too many skin care products, and this time the fragrance was lighter, with a hint of milk and sweetness. Xia Chiyu almost immediately began to feel sleepy, and after a little struggle, he obediently fell into this dreamless sleep.
This is the end of the competition, and they are back to their old lives. Xu Shuo left Xitai City immediately after the end of this competition, using the winners of this competition to look for sponsors everywhere, while Xia Chiyu and the four of them continued to spend time in the game, while maintaining their training activity every day. On the other hand, there is still no news from the Dark Continent.
Su Xing and Reis usually still brush the artifact they are responsible for in the designated dungeon, while Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan have nothing else to do, so they have to continue to practice leveling. After their level is raised to eighty-one, they will exchange with Reis and Awakening, and the two of them will designate a copy to farm artifacts, and then Lacey and Awakening will upgrade.
I have to say that it's really hard to start leveling up now.
After the level was raised to eighty,The difficulty of the monster has increased by another hurdle.,They basically relied on fighting low-level monsters to upgrade before.,Because the monster AI is relatively low.,Even if the experience bonus is less, the speed of playing is much faster than that of high-level monsters.γ In addition, from level seventy-nine to level eighty, they were directly promoted by eating the tears of the dragon, so this was the first time they had come into contact with level eighty monsters.
"I rely on ......" Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly and said, "This ordinary monster is like a player PK, dodging left and right, jumping up and down, it's just drunk...... It took more than ten minutes to kill the two monsters. At this rate, you have to rest if you are 10% tired, otherwise you will be killed by the monster...... How long does it take to get to the eighty-first level? β
"Hmph, have you ever heard of the game 'Legends'?" Gu Qinyan asked angrily, Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows: "Do you mean that online game appeared before the computer was popularized?" Gu Qinyan then continued to ask: "Then do you know that after the game opened at level ninety, the legend retreated from the most difficult game in history to the second line?" β
"It's hard enough, once you die, you have to start practicing again from level 1, and even if you don't die at this speed of fighting monsters, I'm afraid it will take a month to go from level 80 to level 81, right? How will those princes level up? Xia Chiyu sighed.
"A prince will be a princely general." Gu Qinyan snorted coldly, "Most of the monsters in AO don't have AI designed for artifacts and holy weapons, because if you want to design specialized AI for artifacts and holy weapons, the workload will be so large that it will take a year to upgrade and maintain. β
As he spoke, Xia Chiyu glanced at Gu Qinyan: "You also listened to the three people of the Mercenary King at that time, right?" The introduction of artifacts and hallows was unilateral, and it was not unanimously approved. So there is some haste in it.,At that time, there must have been no special AI for monsters for artifacts and holy weapons.γ β
"So. You mean to fight monsters with artifacts and holy weapons, is there a bug? Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's not a bug, but the monsters obviously have some loopholes in dealing with the skills that can be released by artifacts and holy weapons, either they are particularly clumsy, or they only deal with them in a fixed pattern." Gu Qinyan replied.
"For example...... Gu Qinyan thought for a moment and continued, "Wren's Wailing Bell effect, the monster will only treat it as a personal temporary enhancement skill, and will not learn to disperse like the player. So I'm sure that Wren will definitely pull a relatively large number of monsters when leveling up, so that he can easily deal with a large number of monsters by quickly transforming. β
"So. I'm afraid that Radi's 'Heart-Eroding' effect will only be used as a ranged attack by monsters, right? In this way, these guys really have an advantage in leveling, no wonder everyone is rushing to want artifacts and holy weapons, after all, not only symbolizing status, but also rank, fame and money. Xia Chiyu shook his head and sighed.
"Hmph, it's just a high number. How many people are looking for a studio to help them farm unlimited copies now? Gu Qinyan hugged his arms and said angrily, "Once one day the artifact and the holy weapon are not loved by the player for some reason, I dare say that the game may lose its balance that is already in danger, and then collapse in an instant." β
"I'd love to say it's none of my business, but I'm hoping it will break down after I've played at least one good game." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said. "So, Asura matters, we still have to take care of it......"
At the end of the day, they were offline in the training room and ready for dinner. And then I talked about domain skills.
"By the way, I've always wanted to ask this question, aren't you really going to use your domain skills at that time?" Xia Chiyu pointed at Su Xing with chopsticks and asked, "That's luck." The effect of the demon king is just gone, and it is still ......"
"I canceled it myself." Awakening pursed his lips and said, "I was going to make my domain skills shine in a flashy way. But when I think about it, a minion of the level of Big Bone is not worth it for me to use my valuable domain skills on him. β
"Hmph, I also expect you to remember that we still have the enemy of Asura, and I was too naΓ―ve." Xia Chiyu said angrily, shook his head and ate a fork of pasta.
"Oh, it'......" Awakening had obviously forgotten about it, but he still quibbled, "It doesn't matter even if you use the skill on Asura, right?" After all, our battles in the game will not be seen by many people. β
"That's why you can't leak the effects of your domain skills before solving the Asura incident, stupid." Xia Chiyu said angrily, "The small skills that everyone basically used in this competition, only you used the incarnation demon king." β
"It's not that skill Asura ......they don't know," Su Xing still quibbled, but then a kind smile appeared on Xia Chiyu's face, Su Xing knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly smiled: "In short, I will pay more attention in the future!" β
Hearing this, Xia Chiyu's face softened slightly: "However, domain skills can be used appropriately when dealing with the affairs of the Dark Continent. Players in the Dark Continent shouldn't spread our skills, after all, they don't get along well with others. β
"By the way, is there a result on Anna's side?" Lacey asked while eating pasta, and Gu Qinyan shook his head: "I heard that Laddy has been very cautious lately, and he won't go out at all without bringing dozens of senior guards." β
"What then? You can't go on like this, can you? Su Xing frowned.
"Calm down, what we have to deal with is one of the four kings, how can we do it if we don't have some patience." Xia Chiyu was not impatient.
"Shall we have Anna convince Laddy to use the 'bait scheme' one more time?" Lacey asked curiously.
Gu Qinyan snorted coldly: "Don't be stupid, if Anna does that, even if Laddy is as stupid as you, she will find out that Anna is a spy." Recently, in order to dispel Raddy's suspicions, Anna has been reminding Raddy to take as many people out as possible, while making sure to keep working with the Red Dragon Knight Braider as much as possible in exchange for his support and protection. β
"Sounds like you're doing you a favor." Su Xing wiped the ketchup from the corner of his mouth and replied.
"Take a long-term view." Xia Chiyu said lightly, "That old turtle will leak out sooner or later, and the only thing that is not certain now is whether the four of us can defeat Laddy together." β
"Let's take one step at a time." Gu Qinyan snorted coldly and replied, "I'm asking for leave tomorrow and going to the airport to pick up Yuxi." β
"Yo, it's almost July, and the class she took has already finished the high school entrance examination, right?" Zhang Zinuo looked at the time and asked curiously, Xia Chiyu immediately sighed and said: "Thank God, when I am leveling up with someone, I finally don't have to endure his complaints and all kinds of tsundere words, to be honest, I can only pretend that I didn't hear it every time......"
"Hey, Sister Yuxi is moving here this time, right?" Lin Qianxue asked curiously on the side, Gu Qinyan, who had already straightened her face and was about to make a speech, immediately left Xia Chiyu and returned: "Yes, there will be a lot of luggage, I heard that I plan to live in an apartment with An Ran temporarily, and there will be some occasional things in the summer vacation at the school, as long as she goes back from time to time to take a look." β
"Then the summer vacation is over, and if our grades are not good, people will go back and continue to be teachers, right?" Xia Chiyu pretended to be careless and replied with the pasta on the plate.
"Well, I remember that there was the largest AO competition in China during the summer vacation, the Yanxia Cup." Reis replied, Li Feifei also nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes!" When I was studying in Australia, I would watch this game every time, and I heard that most of the well-known players in China would participate, and it was very famous! The bonuses are also high. β
Lin Qianxue nodded, and said with a smile: "From July to October, two months of external auditions, thirty-two into eight in a month, and the final October to determine the champion." Only domestic teams can participate, and the team that has made enemies with you before...... It looks like they'll go straight to the round of 16 as seeded players. β
"And a new team like ours can only start from the external auditions." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said.
"But it's a great opportunity, so take it!" Lin Qianxue excitedly grabbed Xia Chiyu's arm and said with a smile: "The results of the Yanxia Cup basically determine whether a player can achieve high enough achievements in the future. As long as you can make it to the top 16, you are destined to have a bright future in the AO world, and it is not a problem to sponsor anything! β
"And the 3v3 champion prize has one million Huaxia coins, 2v2 seven hundred thousand, and five hundred thousand in the ring." Zhang Zinuo explained with a smile, "If you want to do business, this is a very good principal, right?" β
"Two months of auditions?" Xia Chiyu muttered, "If we can successfully pass the audition and get good results in the 32-8 competition in September, it should prove that the investment in us is worth it, right?" β
Saying that, Xia Chiyu turned to Gu Qinyan and said with a happy smile: "What a coincidence, it just happens to be the day when Yuxi needs to go back to school, and if we can enter the top 16 before that, Yuxi girl can trust her investment in us, right?" β
"Hmph." Gu Qinyan clenched his fists and said coldly: "It's just the top sixteen, it's a trivial matter." With this average level in China, I can lead the team to break through the audition alone. β
"It's hard to say." Reis raised his index finger and explained, "Although the Huaxia Game Region is ...... The game environment is pretty bad, full of studios, advertisements and useless idol brain-dead fans, but after all, there are many people, and there are still a lot of powerful players. As far as I know, the top 40 teams each year can make it to the ranks of first-line professional gamers. β
"Fight and grow." Xia Chiyu said with a smile, "For us, isn't it the most suitable stage for fame?" As long as we enter the top eight, I think our identity as a first-line professional player will be basically determined in the future, right? β
Although Xia Chiyu saw a different light in everyone's eyes, there was ambition for the future. (To be continued......)
