CUHK, Wu Yingda's old nest.

In the small living room, the original sofa and coffee table have been moved to the bedroom, replaced by four computer desks put together, and the network cables are not like ordinary dormitories, like cobwebs in the silk hole, but are carefully tied up to prevent them from being kicked and broken by mistake.

There are also several pots of bonsai on one side, which look full of greenery, and the black Internet café behind CUHK doesn't know how many times better.

Lei was very satisfied with this environment, but as soon as he saw the few people gathered around Zhang Peng, Lei couldn't help but sweat, "Just a few of us to grab the championship of this gamei competition?" ”

Zhang Peng's side are Books, Luo Yun and Ning Hai, plus a lei, there are exactly five people, it seems that this lineup is indeed quite miserable, Zhang Peng is a little embarrassed to hear Lei say this, but Xiao Li, who is in charge of arranging the place, smiled when he heard Lei say this, patted Lei on the shoulder and said, "We looked quite miserable when we went to play Cupl, but in the end we won the championship of Cupl, maybe you can create a miracle this time." ”

"Yes!" Books waved his hand vigorously, "We're going to win the championship!" ”

"That's right." Books said extremely obscenely, "You said that if we really won the championship, those professional clubs in South Korea should feel ashamed to death, right?" ”

"Then you should get ready." Teacher Xiao Li smiled, "It's okay, I'll go first." ”

"That's right." When he walked to the door, Teacher Xiao Li seemed to think of something, turned his head and said, "You should make less films, otherwise the traffic will be too large, and the school should pay attention." ”

The group didn't speak, they all turned their heads to look at the books. Books suddenly shouted, "What are you all looking at me for?" ”

Zhang Peng laughed and didn't say anything, just sat down and opened Gamei's homepage.

As Zhang Peng expected, the grouping of Gamei has been announced. But just by glancing at the situation of this group, Zhang Peng couldn't help but shout "Damn."

"What's wrong?" Books and the others came up strangely and asked Zhang Peng what was going on.

Zhang Peng clicked on the screen and said, see for yourself. As a result, Books and Lei and the others were also dumbfounded.

Books and Zhang Peng have studied the game system of GAMEI before, and they already know that the group stage of this gamei tournament is also the same group round-robin as CUPL, but unlike the KOF game of Cupl, the two sides do not need to submit the appearance order list of the two sides in advance before this GAMEI tournament, but they have to determine a main player first. There are several KOF systems of the main general system, for example, some of the main general system is a main general who has to be defeated twice in a row by the same player before it is considered defeated, and the main general can be ranked anywhere in the appearance order table, and the main general system of Gamei stipulates that the main general will be ranked last after the main general, as long as the cumulative defeat is twice, the team is considered to lose. This is equivalent to saying that the top four players have one life, and the last master will have two lives. The first player to appear is designated by the referee on duty as one of the teams to play first, and the next team is arbitrarily assigned by both teams. In addition to highlighting the strength of the main general, this kind of game will also be more intense than the general KOF game, because for example, one of the opponent's players is a Protoss, and there happens to be a player in your team who is very confident in fighting the Protoss, then you can send this player up.

For the cruelty of the competition, Zhang Peng and Books and others have long thought about it, but what they didn't expect was the number of participating teams!

Think about the average group stage, there are seven or eight teams that will top the sky. But now at a glance, the gamei group is divided into a total of 12 groups, and each group has a total of 14 teams, and the top four teams qualify!

There are fourteen teams in each group!

How many games will that team have to play in the group round-robin?!

Twelve groups! The top four teams qualified, and after they appeared, it was only the top 48!

How did this tournament attract so many teams to participate in the tournament because the prize money of this tournament is not much in the eyes of many professional clubs?

When Zhang Peng, Books and others were completely dumbfounded, they didn't know that although they were so close to Blue Star now, they might feel that a top professional club was nothing in their hearts, but in fact, like any large professional league, the commercial and competitive empire built by professional leagues and professional clubs was far more huge than they imagined.

The cornerstone of this vast empire is countless interstellar enthusiasts and amateur players, and there are many semi-professional clubs, second division clubs, first division clubs, super clubs and top leagues, all of which are located at the top of this imperial pyramid.

In this huge empire, there are countless amateur or semi-professional players who want to become professional players, and there are many semi-professional clubs that are playing qualifiers in the hope of becoming professional clubs. And even if it is a second-division club, there are many sparring players or second-tier players who are difficult to play.

If these second-tier or sparring partners do not have the right opportunity, they are likely to receive a small salary, and their bleak retirement is like a small wave in the turbulent Xiangjiang River. When these people leave, the only memory may be a monitor that beats with interstellar images at the end.

But it is the efforts of these people that have built up this huge empire, and only then have many professional players achieved glory and a lot of income.

And a prize of a few thousand dollars is indeed nothing for many established clubs whose ticket income can be worth a year's expenses of a small club, and most of these teams are entangled in competitions with higher prize money, but for some ordinary clubs, and even some clubs that only live on tournament bonuses and do not have much sponsorship, this is also a lot of income. What's more, for many clubs, it is also a good choice to maintain the level of sparring partners and second-tier players, so that they rarely have the opportunity to play, and participate in such international competitions.

Therefore, among the teams participating in this competition, except for a small number of pure amateur teams like Zhang Peng, most of the rest are members of semi-professional and professional clubs.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, (this time is a bit strange for Zhang Peng and others, because it happens to be the time when Xia Yue is drowsy in the afternoon, I don't know which city in South Korea the gamei that held this competition is located, and whether there is a time difference) Gamei's various competition channels began to clean up the idle people in addition to the registered game ID.

The maximum capacity of a channel is clear, and the fourteen teams have a total of 90 players, plus some referees on duty, which is basically full.

Zhang Peng and his group are all hung with the prefix of hm, this name is what Books thinks, because the current CUHK team already has the title of Red Devil on CUPL, Zhang Peng and others have no special hobby about what kind of team name to use in the game, so they used the first Pinyin HM of the Red Devil as the team name of this competition.

According to the competition system, the group stage is played according to three, three, three, four. Three games were played every three days for the first three days and four games on the fourth day.

The difficulty of this format and the strength of the opponent completely exceeded the expectations of Zhang Peng and others.

In the first game, against a team called PTZ, Zhang Peng and his gang fell into a bitter battle, although they won in the end, but the other party only came out to the third player and killed all the books and lei and others, Zhang Peng hung up after playing, and finally got the opponent's main general and won the game.

And then Zhang Peng and his group lost two games in a row. The opponent of the second game, August, just came out to the second player and killed Books and Lei, Luo Yun, and Ning Hai, and then Zhang Peng did not force out the opponent's main general, and hit the fourth player of August, a Terran player named Spolo defeated Zhang Peng twice in a row. And the third game lost is not because the overall strength of Zhang Peng and others is the same as the opponent of the second game, August, there is a lot of difference, but after two games, the third game started at night, because the time span is too long, the books that belong to the role of the trick are okay, people like lei and Zhang Peng who have done their best are tired, and in the end, although Zhang Peng still forced out the opponent's main general, but was still killed by the opponent miserably.

After losing this game, Zhang Peng and others found a problem that they didn't realize before, playing this game, not only to the level, but also to the physical strength, and most importantly, if they are like Zhang Peng and his group, they basically have to be forced out of the main general every time, and they can only solve the battle by fighting to the death, and it is basically too late to fight the three games, and there is no time to study what kind of level the rest of the team is and what are the powerful players.

The second day's game still started at more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the record of Zhang Peng and his gang on the second day was much better than the first day, with two wins and one loss in three games. In six games, Zhang Peng and others' HM ranked eighth among the fourteen teams with nine points with three wins and three losses, while Roy, the first-ranked team, won all six games and accumulated eighteen points. With an absolute advantage, the fourth-place player defeated Zhang Peng's team August, and it only ranked fourth in the group with a record of four wins and two losses. When he saw the group points table at the end of the next day's game, Zhang Peng and his group were almost desperate.

At this time, Zhang Peng's mobile phone rang, and Zhang Peng, who was extremely desperate, answered the phone and asked weakly: "Hey, who is it?" ”

"Holy! I called you as soon as I got off the plane, and you actually asked me who I was? ”

This voice suddenly sounded like heaven in Zhang Peng's ears, and Books and the others saw Zhang Peng's eyes light up suddenly, "You guys are back to Changsha?!" ”

"Tut-tut, it's a nice place. I think our campus network was a broken one back then. Fang Shaoyun browsed the group points table, "Huh? Three wins and three losses ranked eighth, which is not bad. ”

Zhang Peng is okay, he has communicated with Fang Shaoyun several times, and he is such a surname, seeing a bull like Fang Shaoyun, he will not be as nervous as many people, his brain is blank, but Lei is different, for the vast majority of interstellar players like him, Fang Shaoyun is a legendary existence, not to mention that this time he appeared in front of him with Fang Shaoyun, as well as Huang Qian and Xiao Shi!

The Big Three of Blue Star! It's all here!

Fang Shaoyun finished speaking, seeing that Lei was trembling a little uncontrollably, Fang Shaoyun didn't wait for Zhang Peng's reply, so he patted Lei with a smile, "Don't be nervous, we are not three-headed and six-armed monsters like you, when I first met Gou Xiaoyun, I thought he was a rookie, I watched the game in front of him, and asked a few players from the first-class team to be masters, which was a shame." ”

Lei gasped and smiled hard. At this time, he finally understood why the Blue Star Club where Fang Shaoyun and others were located had become the most popular club before they reached the top.

The current Fang Shaoyun, Huang Qian, and Xiaoshi are already beyond reproach as emperor superstars. It is said that the number of registered members of the personal club that Lanxing has made for Fang Shaoyun has exceeded three million, even the movie stars who are red to the top may not be able to compare with Fang Shaoyun, but looking at the current Fang Shaoyun, Huang Qian and Xiao Shi, they seem to have never changed.

What keeps them in this way? Although Lei's expression is still unnatural, his mood has become relaxed, and he is no longer as restrained as before. And when he thought about it like this, he didn't know that many times watching Zhang Peng play games, Fang Shaoyun and others, including Nalan Rongrong, couldn't help but think of a person, and this person's level and humility were like an eternal benchmark.

"Three South Korean teams, one Chinese team, it seems that your group doesn't have the European guys to make trouble." At this time, Fang Shaoyun flipped through casually and said, "The fourth is four wins and two losses, you may still be able to catch up." ”

"Three Korean teams, one Chinese team. Senior, are you talking about the top four? Luo Yun asked in surprise, "How can you tell?" ”

"Senior, I can tell fortunes." Fang Shaoyun smiled.

Luo Yun looked at Fang Shaoyun with a suspicious gaze, "Senior, you shouldn't know their IDs, right?" ”

Xiao Shi couldn't stand it anymore, and the simple Luo Yun and Ning Hai made him think of himself at that time, so he couldn't help but say to Fang Shaoyun, even you have to fool you, junior brother. As he spoke, Xiao Shi clicked on a page and explained to Luo Yun and Ning Hai, "This is very simple, you look at the list of participating teams, aren't your registrations all real-name, you look at this page, there is a small national flag mark behind the participating teams." You can see where this team is coming from. ”

"What does it mean if there are any European teams making trouble?" Luo Yun then asked curiously, "Do they like to make trouble?" ”

"They all eat steak bread, so it's easy to get too much energy." Fang Shaoyun said, "They don't like to make trouble very much, they like to make trouble very much, I think when we went to Yuben for the first time to participate in an invitational tournament, they also went to make trouble." ”

"yes." Thinking of that competition, Xiao Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "They wanted to make the organizer depressed for a small invitational tournament, and many people actually transferred to a small club temporarily." ”

"Holy! For a small invitational, temporary transfer?! It's so perverted! Even if it was books, when he heard Fang Shaoyun and Xiaoshi say that, he couldn't help but scream all of a sudden. And as soon as he called such a sentence, Books' eyes suddenly lit up, and an extremely obscene smile appeared on his face, "Senior Fang Shaoyun, or you..." ”

"Nope." As soon as he saw Books' appearance, Zhang Peng knew that Books must have wanted Fang Shaoyun and them to be gunmen. Zhang Peng also knew that gunners had always been rampant in this kind of online competition, if Fang Shaoyun and them were gunners, there would definitely be no problem in playing the line casually, but Zhang Peng still shook his head very firmly. Although this competition itself has an element of opportunism, Zhang Peng participated in it with an extremely serious attitude when facing this competition. When he thinks of Guo and them, Zhang Peng has an almost pious attitude towards the game itself, just like when he played cupl that day.

"Good idea, there's a head." Fang Shaoyun also saw the idea of books, and smiled, "It's easy for us to help you get out, but." It's a shame that we're going to be gunmen against them. When Fang Shaoyun said this, he thought of the scene when Gou Xiaoyun trained himself, and now he is at CUHK again, and the feeling of this memory is too wonderful, so he was a little in a daze as he spoke.

"Senior Fang Shaoyun?" When Zhang Peng called him a little strangely, he came back to his senses and said to Zhang Peng, "Come on, don't waste time, start doing business, Zhang Peng, you can find someone to beat me up." ”

Zhang Peng knew that Fang Shaoyun must have his intentions in letting him fight, so Zhang Peng didn't ask anything, and directly asked Lei to build a host.

"Holy!" After only a few minutes of watching, Fang Shaoyun, Huang Qian, and Xiao Shi couldn't help but cry out in amazement, "Zhang Peng, who did you learn your fingering?" ”

"It's Nalan Rongrong."

"Nalan Rongrong?!"

Although Fang Shaoyun, Huang Qian, and Xiaoshi had already seen from the rep that Zhang Peng's hand speed was very fast, in Fang Shaoyun's eyes, he also wanted Zhang Peng to go down the path of martial arts in the world, only fast and unbreakable, so he proposed it first to let Zhang Peng fight, and first see if Zhang Peng's fingering could be improved, but he didn't expect to see that Zhang Peng's fingering was so good that the three of them couldn't help but cry out in amazement, and what made them even more stunned was that this was actually taught by Nalan Rongrong?!

"He actually taught you everything at the bottom of the box?" After listening to Zhang Peng's explanation of the ins and outs, Fang Shaoyun couldn't help laughing.

This Nalan Rongrong's fingering is unparalleled in the world, even the Blue Star group is unmatched, and now Zhang Peng has learned from him and has become his apprentice again, didn't he pick up a bargain for nothing?

After laughing proudly, Fang Shaoyun asked Zhang Peng, "What do you use to do hand speed training now?" ”

Zhang Peng nodded and said yes, it's a shooting game.

"Really? What shooting game? ”

"This is it."

"Holy!" Fang Shaoyun, Huang Qian, and Xiao Shi all stared at the shooting game that Zhang Peng clicked on, and their eyes were about to bulge out like bullfrogs.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Peng, Books and the others all saw that Fang Shaoyun and the others were extremely surprised, and couldn't help but ask.

Fang Shaoyun took a deep breath to calm his shocked mood, "How do you know to use this game to practice hand speed?" ”

"This is what a few people from Yucheng University told me during the CUPL national competition, and at that time I didn't know that there was a saying about practicing hand speed, what's wrong?"

"It's one of the games that our Blue Star Club uses to practice hand speed, what's wrong?"

"What!"

"Aside from that, did they tell you anything else about how to practice your hand speed?"

"And the speed at which the gears change the game."

Fang Shaoyun and the others suddenly couldn't help but say "I'm sorry." This shooting game is actually jointly developed by the MNH club where Knife is located and Blue Star.,It's really not a regular shooting game.,It can be said that it's a hand speed training game specially designed for interstellar hand speed training.。 This shooting game is available for download on one of the affiliated pages of the MNH Club. But it was never sold to the public, and gearshift training is one of the features of the Blue Star Club. How could this school team of Yucheng University happen to be selected by chance? (Fang Shaoyun, Zhang Peng and the others would never have thought that a group of people from Yucheng University had stolen these two hand speed training methods from Lan Xing.) And the reason why they learned secretly was precisely because Lan Xing happened to go to Yucheng to play a game once, and the relatives of the number one person in Yucheng University happened to be the network administrator of the hotel where Lan Xing stayed, and the training room of that hotel was done by the network administrator, Bingyun and the others were able to go in as staff members and peek at the training of Fang Shaoyun and others for a while. It's just that it hasn't been long, so the hand speed training they have seen is just two tricks in the Blue Star Club's unique set of reflexes and speed. Fang Shaoyun, Huang Qian, and Xiaoshi really couldn't figure it out when they thought about it, and suddenly Fang Shaoyun came back to his senses and asked Zhang Peng, "You only started doing hand speed training when you were in the Cupl National Competition?" ”

Zhang Peng nodded and said yes.

Fang Shaoyun immediately asked Zhang Peng to play this shooting game for him.

Zhang Peng had already clicked on this game, and when he heard Fang Shaoyun say this, Zhang Peng immediately started fighting seriously.

Because during the period after CUPL won the championship, Zhang Peng's training was seriously insufficient, and he didn't play this game carefully, so he only hit the second level, and Zhang Peng hung up all of a sudden.

"Wha! Good! As soon as he saw Zhang Peng hanging up quickly in the second level, Fang Shaoyun immediately laughed excitedly.

"Not really." Fang Shaoyun's haha-sized appearance made Zhang Peng very depressed, "Although it is a very embarrassing fight, it doesn't mean that you despise people so much, right?" ”

"Wait a minute, you'll know if it's contempt." Fang Shaoyun laughed and patted Huang Qian, who had a similar expression to him next to him, "You go up and play this game for him." ”

"Okay." Huang Qian sat down immediately after touching his oily back, took Zhang Peng's mouse and began to play the game.

"Holy!" Under the noses of Zhang Peng and others, Huang Qian easily passed the second level, and the scene of the third level directly switched to the forest field terrain, with pits, high grounds, and behind the trees, the people flashing out of the trees, the terrain is more complex and more difficult. After playing in the third level for a while, Huang Qian accidentally hung up, and after hanging up, Huang Qian also rubbed his hands and said, "I haven't played for a long time, it's a little bit of a hand, and I hung up so soon." ”

“…。” Zhang Peng was completely speechless.

Isn't that utter contempt?

But at this time, Fang Shaoyun asked him seriously, "Huang Qian's hand speed is not as fast as yours, why can he hit the third level casually, but you can only hit the second level now, do you know why?" ”

Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment.

Fang Shaoyun's words were like suddenly stuffing something into his head, he vaguely thought of something, but he couldn't catch it for a while, and after being stunned for two seconds, Zhang Peng still shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Because any game has a certain trick to play, there must be traces to follow, and there is a problem of proficiency." Fang Shaoyun looked at Zhang Peng and said, "It's like playing interstellar, if you specialize in practicing a map, you will also have an advantage on that map, this map is to practice hand speed and reactions." Although there is a random probability in this game, but the more you play, you will always become more and more proficient, and the hand speed and reaction of the yellow submarine are slower than yours, and you can fight longer than you, just because of the problem of proficiency. Like everyone in our club, this is very familiar, and once this thing is cooked, it is as normal as eating and serving a bowl, and it has little effect on the improvement of reaction and speed, and it can't stimulate the nerves. And you are different, with your current reaction and speed, it should be far more than the second level, that is, you are still relatively new to this game, and this game has a great effect on your reaction and speed. After a pause, Fang Shaoyun's words fell on Zhang Peng's body word by word, "This shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement in your reaction and speed." Unlike the yellow submarines, their reflexes and speed have been stimulated to the limit, and they will not improve much no matter how much they practice. ”

"How much faster can I?" Zhang Peng said with a blank mind.

"Of course, maybe you can be faster than me!." Fang Shaoyun laughed, looked at Huang Qian and said, "When did I miss my vision, when this guy was eating a cold box lunch outside, I didn't think that this guy had good bones at a glance, and the task of saving the Star Altar in the future would be handed over to him." ”

"Holy! If you say Zhang Peng, you will say Zhang Peng, say what am I doing? Huang Qian's old face flushed, "What's wrong with gnawing on the boxed lunch, it's not the same Yushu Linfeng." ”

"The key is that you want one after nibbling on a boxed lunch, and you can eat it quickly. Ha ha. ”

"Holy! …。 ”

"Zhang Peng, I think your current thinking is completely correct." Looking at Huang Qian's speechless appearance, Fang Shaoyun put away his playful expression, turned his head to look at Zhang Peng and said seriously, "In the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken, and in addition to being fast, you also have the talent of precision that others don't have, as long as you can fully stimulate the potential of your reaction and speed, I can guarantee it." These group stage opponents will definitely not be your opponents! ”
