Chapter 415 Qualifying Tournament
The ladder competition was held in the Snake Catcher Fortress, and tens of thousands of undead rushed to sign up immediately after receiving the news.
How can playing games be without the most interesting PVP mode? Before, because the official had not made any moves, the undead could only settle their grudges in the wild.
Field battles still cannot meet their needs. They are too far away from the resurrection point, not fun, and unfair.
Traps are set in advance, or group fights often occur.
But official PVP doesn't have those problems.
When the undead arrived at the scene and saw the content of the announcement, he wanted to complain.
"no limit?"
"Are the props available for you to use?"
"Krypton is invincible!"
The undead lamented the unfairness of the world. In the real world, he had to face unfair treatment from rich people, but in the game, he could only become a part of the experience for players who paid for the game.
However, the ladder competition still needs to be played. At least at this stage, the strength of most people is not much different.
Currently only divided into: Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master.
To play in the qualifying round, you must first play in the qualifying round, which is a total of ten games.
Every victory adds points, and every failure deducts points, which also makes PVP full of uncertainty.
My Huan Dou Hui Shu was among the first to sign up, and his fighting style has matured. Others are just curious about the game's PVP mode, but he is excited that he can finally have a good fight with other undead.
Standing in the Snake Catcher's Fortress, you can look up and see the huge arena. Lind had thought of this day as early as the beginning of construction.
The entire arena was built with magic, imitating the fortress architecture of the Great Rift. Some of the floor tiles were even dug from there, ensuring that the environment would not change easily during battle.
The entire arena is divided into dozens of open-air venues. Except for the huge arena in the middle which is temporarily closed, people can queue up in other places.
It is also completely free to enter and watch other people fight, except that occasionally some children will come over to sell snacks.
The atmosphere of a medieval duel is full.
Watching others fight is like watching a superpower blockbuster. It’s very interesting to just sit here and watch the fights without doing anything every day.
Now it is the first 10 qualifying matches. My ring selection will not lose the random draw. After entering the venue, I found that my opponent is an undead with a female appearance.
Light armor, a wand in hand, and gleaming boots on his feet.
The distance between the two sides was quite far, and it was a bit of a headache for me to not lose with my ring-taking. It would take at least three or four seconds to cover this distance, which was enough time for the opponent to react.
As the sound of "start" came, I rushed towards the opponent at the fastest speed. While the opponent retreated, he grabbed his pocket with his left hand and sprinkled a cloud of mist.
An illusion immediately appeared before his eyes. The huge Cyclops figure completely blocked the witch's view, making him unable to determine what the other party would do next.
At this point in the game, PVP is more like rock-paper-scissors, provided that there aren't too many skills and the opponent's profession is determined and the attributes are not too different.
If you can't see what the opponent will do next, you will probably be at a disadvantage. But retreating is also impossible. If you keep a distance from the wizard during the battle, what if the opponent directly charges up a chant and uses a killer move to kill you instantly?
The best option is to shorten the distance.
I rushed forward and broke up the Cyclops's phantom figure. At the same time, I quickly grabbed with my left hand and took out a small shield.
As his sight caught the witch opposite again, a fireball was brewing in her hand.
"Hard-concave fireball?" I was relieved that my ring would not lose.
If the opponent chooses to continue using alchemical items, or other fast magic that can disrupt his rhythm, he will really have a headache. However, when the opponent has the initiative and a good vision, he still chooses the fireball with the highest damage but extremely slow reading time, and things become simple.
In this game, the higher the number, the better!
When the opponent's fireball took shape, he jumped up suddenly, and just when the opponent subconsciously adjusted the angle of the fireball, he had already taken the initiative to crash into it.
The small shield automatically deployed a barrier and crashed into the fireball.
The flames spread quickly, forming a hemisphere that wrapped around him and continued to exert pressure inside.
Crack, cracks began to appear in the barrier and the pressure was increasing.
At the moment the barrier collapsed, the weapon in my hand suddenly changed to a big sword, and now the witch was within my attack range.
The heavy firepower overwhelmed the barrier, and the flames splashed towards him like water. He quickly put his sword on his back and blocked most of the flames with the broad and thick blade of the oversized sword.
The blade became bumpy due to the high temperature.
But my Huanqu, who was "enchanted" with a huge sword by his opponent, would not lose. He pushed his knees forward and rushed in front of his opponent with the sword on his back. His figure kept rising, surpassing the enemy's head, and his body turned while lunging forward.
"Linde's Lion Slash!"
The oversized sword was wrapped in flames, and the heavy block of iron seemed to breathe, spewing out blazing heat, and the air made a low hissing sound.
The undead in the stands only saw a red beam of light passing by.
The sword hit the ground with a dull sound.
Only my ring will not lose and I stand alone with my sword.
There are also ashes floating in the air.
Kill instantly? Of course not, but because he had used tricks to launch several consecutive attacks when the flames erupted just now, and the wizard's health was very low, he was able to defeat him quickly.
After the first game ended, he did not immediately start the second game. There was one thing about the game that was not so good. The status would not refresh when entering a certain building and had to be restored by himself.
However, this also gives many undead players the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes in ladder competitions.
Take drugs before going on stage, then bless yourself, give yourself ten or eight buffs, and then go on stage.
In the second game, my Huanqu was not going to lose and was facing a heavily armored knight. Just when he was relieved, unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly raised his hand and chanted, and fragmented beams of light flew out.
The ground was chewed out with traces, and my ring taker quickly lowered his head to dodge. He didn't expect that the opponent was actually a wizard, and it seemed that he didn't learn the main killing magic, but the strong control type of magic.
Accidentally hit by the beam, he immediately went into deceleration mode, watching the bulky figure adjust its direction and rush towards him.
The power was released on my Huan Qu Bu Shu, and his body was thrown into the sky like a flying spear. In order to ensure accuracy and sensitivity during PVP, his senses have been adjusted very high, so after being attacked, the severe pain in his body also made his face change drastically.
Fortunately, the opponent's attack only took away less than one-tenth of my blood, so it was not a big problem.
The moment he landed, he rolled to avoid the attack, but as expected, the opponent had already raised his hand and shot out several beams of light.
Control first, then hit, then control again and hit again.
The three-axe combo looks simple, but ordinary people really can't dodge it and can easily be killed by a combo.
The "fairness and justice" of the qualifying matches will definitely ensure that those who were completely victorious in the previous game will meet those who are completely victorious, and everyone will be the winner.
The previous "little tricks" have also been used by many people. Everyone takes enough medicine and applies full buffs before going on the field, so the ferocity displayed in battle is completely different from before.
After rolling on the ground twice, my Huan Qu would not lose and got up quickly. His body was very strong, and as long as his arms or legs were not directly broken, the pain would be relieved in the shortest time and would not hinder his fighting.
He already understood the opponent's fighting style, and it was actually very simple to deal with it. He replaced the big sword in his hand with two daggers, and two small scavenger princesses came out.
The goal changes from one to three, sharing the goal.
This battle must be won by kiting with speed and agility, not by head-on confrontation.
I really don't know why a wizard like him wears such a heavy armor. He may be an evil wizard, but he is also my nemesis.
If you change yourself into a ranged wizard, you can directly cast a spell to take away the opponent's heavy armored wizard.
The battle lasted longer, but my ring-taker would not lose and the fight was easy, because the enemy was wearing heavy armor and was a witch, and her physical strength consumption increased sharply. After using a crossbow to prevent the opponent from taking drugs to restore mana twice, he successfully broke through to the opponent's face.
Now... the battle can be declared over.
……
The black windbreaker fluttered in the airflow.
The Hunter's Guild Set is a set of Victorian-style equipment that I got by earning points after joining the Hunter's Guild. After Lind's "enhancement", it became the Abyss Set. Although the defense is not as good as other equipment, it is... cool!
He wore a top hat, a light crossbow in his left hand, and a long-handled cross sword in his right hand.
The black patent leather boots tapped the ground lightly, and he quickly stepped back to create distance when the opponent rushed over.
The light crossbow in his left hand shot randomly, making the melee-style knight on the opposite side hate him to the core but unable to do anything. Every time the crossbow arrow came, the opponent had to put up a shield to block it.
It was another nimble dodge. When the opponent let go of his shield and prepared to attack, I quickly grabbed the hilt of the greatsword with both hands.
Currently, there is only one emblem in the entire server, the "Two-handed Sword Emblem", with effects: Two-handed sword damage +10%, attack speed +10%, and madness resistance -20%!
This was the reward he received as the executioner for executing Prince Black Catfish.
As he grabbed the sword with both hands, he could feel the power quickly spreading to his arms and filling his whole body.
The two-handed sword emblems began to converge, and the sudden acceleration of the attack rhythm surprised the opponent. The gushing power had already erupted with the slash of the greatsword, as strong as the beating of my heart.
The opponent subconsciously raised the sword with one hand to block, but unexpectedly was hit and staggered.
There is stiffness!
Rushing forward and closing the distance, the greatsword twisted diagonally as the body turned, completely knocking the enemy over with the sword.
The opponent has fallen to the ground, and everything will be easy from now on.
victory is in sight!
……
The romantic glutton was holding the golden rapier that she had just drawn out of boredom.
[The blessed rapier made by Lind himself] has a certain bonus to attack speed, and there is a chance of fire damage when attacking. In addition, she also got the [Remaining Moonlight Necklace], which is the necklace obtained after killing the 'Bloodless Prince' Ostis, and the effect is to slowly heal and restore blood.
Many necklaces must be held in hand to be effective, so people basically just treat the necklace as a backup skill scroll.
But the [Residual Moonlight Necklace] is different, it can slowly heal itself and restore health.
The only drawback is that the number released nowadays is very small, and it can only be drawn by lottery.
She wasn't sure how well she could perform in the ladder competition, but since she had the chance, she might as well give it a try. Besides, the guy Ace admired kept asking her to come, saying that she had already finished her legendary equipment, so what was the point of her doing that?
The Romantic Eater is indeed the first one to collect all the cards at this stage, and her attribute bonuses are full. Not only that, she also has three sets of Abyss sets, one set was obtained by following the team, one set was strengthened by Lind, and the other set was drawn.
She wasn't quite sure about her fighting style either.
However, when she saw the first enemy she was going to face, she was relieved. The opponent's equipment looked very ordinary, which meant that he did not participate in the Great Rift Expedition of Morpheus' Gate.
An undead from the Kingdom of Black Marsh.
If that's the case, she can really equip suppression.
The opponent had a strong sense of combat and threw out two javelins, but they were easily dodged by the Romantic Foodie. She was lucky because the boots she drew had a speed bonus.
But the opponent was very excited. Seeing that she kept dodging, his attack style became more and more manic, and he rushed directly towards the romantic glutton.
The opponent slashed the Romantic Good-for-Nothing's armor with a sword. The dull sound and the squeezed black mucus made people seem to hear the armor wailing.
The romantic glutton also stabbed the opponent with a backhanded sword. When she swung the sword, flames began to spit out from the hilt and wrapped the entire sword. The flames spread over the opponent's body like a ferocious beast, biting the opponent's armor, and then used a powerful attack to knock the opponent to the ground.
"Damn it!" The person on the other side couldn't help but swear.
The numerical gap between the two sides is too big, this shouldn't be the case, why can't my attack break the defense, and the opponent's random sword make me lose one-fifth of my blood!
One of them is obviously a ranger swordsman in appearance, and he is not wearing heavy armor, but he shows stronger tankiness than a heavy-helmet warrior.
The Romantic Glutton quickly switched to an offensive stance. No matter how bad she was at fighting, she must have her own fighting style after playing the game for so long. Her quick sword thrusts forced her opponent on the ground to roll over to dodge, and her relentless attacks almost cut her opponent into a bloody pulp.
With another sword strike, the sword in the Romantic Glutton's hand cut the opponent's throat, and blood immediately gushed out of his body. Unfortunately, he was not killed at once, and the opponent was still alive.
She took advantage of the situation and hit him on the head with her knee. He raised his hands to support himself and narrowly blocked it, but his body staggered and he fell backwards.
The opponent's health bar was almost zero, but the romantic glutton didn't expect that the opponent's reaction speed was so fast. He actually supported the ground with his elbows, quickly turned over and adjusted his posture, and instead of retreating, he pounced on him.
Approaching in front of him, the sharp blade was handed over, and was about to be sent into the belly of the romantic glutton.
A spherical barrier suddenly appeared and wrapped up the romantic glutton, blocking the sword for her.
She was lucky and got the equipment with barrier secret pattern in a not very important equipment position.
The romantic glutton slid to avoid the opponent's sword arc that was cutting at him while he shouted "Fuck", then swept the sword elegantly and quickly cut off the opponent's head.
Turn around and stand still.
She placed her left hand on her waist and stretched out her right hand like a ballet still. The flame on the blade spread its wings like a single-winged butterfly, and the blazing flame fluttered in the wind like a flag.
Elegance, elegance that comes entirely from equipment and numbers.
……
When Linde is free, he will also watch the S1 ladder competition.
He is the organizer, but he is not sure how far the competition will go and what kind of undead will be selected.
There are several undeads that attract his attention, such as "My Ring Will Not Lose" and "Niao Niao's Place", which are pure operation flows and have their own fighting styles.
But he was just paying attention. In fact, he didn't care much about the combat effectiveness of the undead. The undead were limited to level 30, and it was unknown how many years it would take before the next major version update. The strength of their combat effectiveness had no effect at all.
Fortunately, these two people are online for a long time every day and are very hardworking, otherwise Linde would not have chosen them.
In addition, some old acquaintances, such as the Black Tortoise Shield, the Moon-Chopping Blade, the Dragon Scale Sword, and I am in the Early Eighth, have all performed well, and can basically win 10 or even 7 games in a row out of 9 qualifying matches.
However, the Romantic Eater he had just started watching was different. The person who helped Romantic Eater with the remote live broadcast was also an old acquaintance, Ace Aimu, and the two seemed to be taking turns in the live broadcast.
The Romantic Glutton is an undead who appeared when Lind was a guard at Star Dragon Sentinel, and he always glows with the aura of a European emperor.
He didn't care about it before, but after watching the live broadcast just now, he realized that one tenth of the good equipment he had prepared with great effort to encourage the young people to grow up quickly was taken away by her.
For others, the lottery is based on probability, but for her, the lottery is based on purchasing!
"Is there really such a god in the world?"
Regardless of the Romantic Good-for-Nothing's strength, Lind has already included him in the queue of undead that he must take away, and he is more important than anyone else.
When exploring a new map, luck is everything.
What's the point of being able to fight? No one can fight better than you.
What’s the use of being a liver expert? What he lacks the least is manual labor anyway.
But hiding your luck is really useful.
When he saw the romantic glutton wearing light armor in battle, but being able to fight against the heavily armored knight due to the numerical difference, he began to wonder if he had secretly given her equipment, or if she was a time traveler (I Returned to the Game Server to Get the European Emperor System).
The qualifying match was completed within one day, which was quite fast.
However, not all members participated in the following ladder competition.
Because I’m afraid of losing.
In competitive games, if you are lucky enough to get a ranking that you think is pretty good, you will have the idea of escaping. The points deducted for losing is also the reason why many immortals are unwilling to participate again after the qualifying match.
Only the weakest group of people and the top group of people continue to climb the tower and fight against each other in the ladder competition.
At the same time, many people have also developed many "dirty top split" strategies based on PVP. Don't worry about whether the three tricks are disgusting or not, as long as they are useful.
Some people have also discovered that the most powerful version at this stage seems to be the wizard.
Lind, Wen, William and others are very strong, but they are NPCs. When you really enter the arena, you will find that you can kill people by casting spells and using alchemical items from a distance.
"Do I have to delete my account and start over?" Many people had similar thoughts.
"Retraining is useless. Being strong is a matter of one version, but being cool is a matter of a lifetime! I must use a melee greatsword and wear the coolest and most stylish armor!"
As if he had heard their inner voices, Linde suddenly opened up a limited-time "reset points" function, or "downgrade" function.
