Chapter 149: The Bubble King

"Little brother, what kind of betting method do you have?" Tang Xin asked with interest.

"First of all, betting on the qualifiers, that is, betting on which master may be unlucky, and he will not be able to pass the preliminary round. Because it is a preliminary round, the odds are relatively low, ranging from 1:0.5 to 1:1. The little brother who sat on Zhuang said happily, he raised his head and saw the faces of Tang Xin and Wen Er, and immediately said in surprise, "You are the second son of Wen, the second son of Wen of Wolong Castle...... There is also a candy heart, the sugar heart that sold the fiefdom order! ”

The little brother who sat in the village shouted, which immediately attracted more onlookers, and the players who were not going to join in the excitement and just planned to pass by the auction house to buy some things also surrounded them in three layers and three layers outside.

"Little brother, your advertisement is so loud, at least it has attracted ......" Tang Xin looked around, and made a gesture to count the heads.

"Eighty-two people." Behind him came the voice of the second son of Wen.

"Uh, hehe, that sugar heart is big, don't worry about this little thing! How about it, are you interested in gambling on pleasure? But let's say it first, you can't vote for yourself......" The little brother who sat in the village was a little embarrassed, but his professionalism was still very good, and he was over immediately.

"You're betting on who won't be able to pass the preliminary round, I can't make myself deliberately fail, just to make this money, right?" Tang Xin said in the black line, her goal is to go to the top ten in Huaxia.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, not everyone is as strong as the two of you, I have a lot of peers, just because of this is a big loss, they are betting on who can pass the handicap, and there are many masters who raise their own at once, hehe...... Didn't I take precautions! The little brother hurriedly appeased Tang Xin.

"Hmm...... Let me see. Tang Xin browsed the list of bets up and down, and found that this little brother who sat in the village to gamble was also very powerful, and some masters who had not yet made a name for themselves were also among them, and there were reasons for these masters to be on the list, which could be sold as a master information booklet, Tang Xin couldn't help but praise, "You have a lot of information!" ”

"There is also a directory of participating masters, which is issued by the magazine "818 Little", 20 gold is the junior version, 50 gold is the intermediate version, 100 gold is the advanced version, how about it, both masters have participated, and you can also make a reference for one!"

Tang Xin listened, checked the system mailbox, and found that Huahua had already sent her a final version of the ultimate a few days ago, looking at the name, it is estimated that it is even more powerful than the high-level, because she said that it is only distributed internally, and the following also explains that she and Mo Mozi's drunken Xiaoyao cooperated and compiled it together.

"I won't buy the manual, just make a few bets for me...... This, this...... Buy 100 gold each. Tang Xin looked around the 1v1 list and found that there were really a few names that she didn't seem to have seen in the second round of the group competition, but after all, it was a long time ago, and this impression was a little vague.

In the trading house, Tang Xin bought a few more priests' control skills, the price is not expensive, the average is only about 2,000 gold coins per book, compared to the master and the thief...... The skill books of these professions can be said to be jumping prices.

Now Tang Xin has two more control skills, the Gradual Concealment Technique and the Tranquility Spell, and Wen Er, these two skills, have already reached the master level, and Tang Xin's is only a beginner.

β€”β€”The system prompts that the first World Athletic Series Qualifiers have officially begun, players participating in 1v1 should be prepared, this competition will be projected to the mirror plane map in mirror mode, and any consumable skills, medicines, and props in the game map will be ...... There is no actual consumption in the main matter plane, and there is no loss to death other than affecting the outcome of the match, and the 10-minute countdown begins, 9 minutes 59 seconds, 9 minutes 58 seconds......

Tang Xin and Wen Er were still more cautious in their combat preparations, and the two of them went to the Hollow Valley Manor and prepared the items that should be prepared on their bodies, and Wen Er also went up to the state that they could go.

When Tang Xin looked at him suspiciously, he innocently replied that he just wanted to test whether the skill cooldown would be reset after entering, and through this point of reference, the nature of the plane BLABLABLA could be deduced......

Tang Xin listened and began to doze off.

Wen Er smiled dumbly, and rubbed Tang Xin's head helplessly before waking her up.

After that, they waited for the system to replicate their status, and while they waited, the two chatted about the development of the Hollow Valley Manor, to be precise, Tang Xin consulted with Wen Er on how to ensure that she could mine the Silver Soul Stone safely and confidentially.

"This silver soul stone is not quite the same as the purple fragrant sunflower, the purple fragrant sunflower is a plant, once planted, once harvested, it can be harvested in a game month, I can hire players to plant, even if someone fights to violate the contract, the consequences of compensating for liquidated damages are going to turn back, it's a big deal to lose a period of harvest, and then there are more opportunities to clean them up......

But the Silver Soul Stone, the mineral deposit is there, and it is not renewable, and the manor is surrounded by vast plains, once it leaks out, there are big guilds who are worried about it, it is really difficult to defend. "The more Tang Xin sent people to build fortifications, the more he felt that in an open map like Hollow Valley Manor, enemies could enter from almost all directions, and once a war broke out, it would really be impossible to put it unfortified, and it would not be possible to build moats or arrow towers all in one circle.

Wen Er pondered for a long time, and his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop: "I think we can consider building a dungeon." ”

"Dungeons?" Tang Xin frowned, considering this possibility, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still frowned, "What do you mean is to establish a production defense system around the underground mineral deposits, and minimize openings on the ground, which is indeed very effective in defense...... But the conditions for building a dungeon are very harsh, first of all, we are the territory of the Lionheart Empire, although the manor was bought by me, but to develop the dungeon, you have to apply for approval from the empire, this time, the news must have leaked, if you don't know the empire, build a city illegally, then if one day the empire knows, before the player guild attacks us, the greedy NPCs of the empire already have a good reason to directly seize the territory......

This is not counting the difficulties in construction, the civilization of the building system of the dungeon, currently known only the dwarf clan, the goblin clan or some dwarfs master, finding a suitable construction team is a problem, and the drawings of the dungeon also have to be found, this drawing, as far as I know, there will definitely not be much, only the goblin ruins and some ancient dungeon ruins will have drawings, even if you buy it, whether it can be suitable for the current situation under the hollow valley manor is still two words......

Because all the fire protection system, sanitation system and defense system basically have to be redesigned, the cost is definitely much greater than the construction of ground fortifications on land, which is the time and money cost of development...... You have to do the math carefully before you can make a decision. ”

"Do dungeons have to be built for the purpose of mining ore? I looked at the map, the Hollow Valley Manor is less than 10 minutes away from the Hollow Valley City, and the area is vast, excluding the mountains, only according to the area of the flat land, it is about the same size as the area of the Abel Territory, it is the largest manor near the Hollow Valley City, and the leveling area is also from low to high, and most of the types of monsters are very suitable for mages and thieves to level up...... Do I need to go on? The corners of Wen Er's lips were hooked, he looked at Tang Xin gently, and said in a guided manner.

"......" Tang Xin was silent for a long time, until she had already remembered the prompt sound of "...... in the mirror copy of the qualifiers" in her ears, and she had a feeling of surprise in her mind, "What do you mean ......?"

Before Tang Xin finished speaking, a picture of the mirror state of the competition appeared in front of him.

- The system prompts that it has detected that there are 42 human subordinates, 786 human slaves, 43 half-elf slaves, 32 dwarf slaves, 51 goblin slaves, 12 halfling slaves, and 2 elven slaves under your name, and your command value is 500 people, please ask whether to copy the followers, note, your minions will follow behind you, please seriously consider the number of people to carry, mirror death does not affect the main material plane.

Tang Xin participates in the competitive tournament every year, so he naturally knows that the strength of each player's subordinates is also counted as part of each person's strength, but this does not mean that the lord type players will definitely be able to win the players of the hero mode with the tactics of the sea of people.

Depending on the map, there will be various restrictions, and sometimes it can be cumbersome to carry a large number of troops behind you.

Based on experience, Tang Xin chose a dwarf, a half-elf, two elves, two halflings and the Tang Ji brothers, and ten other human slaves, a total of eighteen people.

Subordinates refer to Tang Xin's subordinates in various manors and territories, and they have no combat effectiveness, so Tang Xin did not take them.

After choosing, the bodies of the two of them were crooked in the cabin of the Hollow Valley Manor, lying on the table and the bed respectively, and their minds had all been transferred to the mirror image of the competition plane.

- Hello players, the map you have entered is Kenneth the Bubble King. In a big bubble that Barrett just blew out, collect 10 small bubbles that the bubble king likes, and save them until the end of the qualifiers, you can successfully advance, the player mirrors the death, and is eliminated, and all the bubbles fall after death, the landing point is random, and the qualifier promotion rate is 20.

As soon as he entered the map, Tang Xin's ears remembered the rules of the map.

Her landing point is next to a turquoise blue lake, the lake is as calm as water, there is no half ripple, Tang Xin's surroundings except for eighteen followers, there is no trace of any other players, which means that this map is very large for the more than one million players in Huaxia, so that when it drops randomly, the player's landing point is as far away as possible, so that it will not affect the game at the beginning because of professional restraint or other unfair factors.

Because it is a 1v1 match, all the players are competitors to each other, so even if Tang Xin and Wen Er enter the game at the same coordinates, the landing point is also different from the north and the south.

"The little bubble that the Bubble King likes...... Oh, I'm really nostalgic! Tang Xin sighed as he looked at the calm lake.

In all the participating players, including Xingtian and Tianxia Batu...... When those professional players were all confused, Tang Xin was already confident.

Kenneth. Barrett, a bloody and brutal executioner, was dubbed by the system with such a cute name as the Bubble King, and the game planning was really nasty and interesting.

Want to know Kenneth. What Barrett likes about little bubbles starts with his personal upbringing.

Kenneth. Barrett is a high-level demon in the Bato Hell in the Nine Layers of Hell in the Outer Plane, the plane of the Nine Layers of Hell has some distinctive characteristics, the first point is infinity, each layer extends infinitely outward, but the inner area is limited, and the opening leads to the upper abyss and the lower hell.

The second point is the change of divine power, which only acts on the gods and has no effect on the player, and still refers to the main material plane.

The third point is the absence of elemental or energy directions: the effects of elemental energy are balanced against each other, with the exception of Scorching Hell, which is dominated by the element of fire, and the Plane of Cain is dominated by the "cold" nature, which causes creatures to receive increasing cold damage per second if they leave the shelter.

The Nine Hells have a tendency to be weak and evil.

The demons of the nine hells all follow the laws of the plane, but in fact they are treacherous and extremely violent, and most of them will plot various schemes to strengthen themselves, no matter how despicable they may be in the process.

Compared to other lower realms, the Nine Hells are superior in the diversity of despicable evils, and in the devils' own words, they are more insidious and cunning than the other demons.

Kenneth. Barrett is no exception, demons live forever in the midst of plans and plots, and Kenneth's favorite thing to do is to seduce the little girls with lively and cute personalities, seal them in bubbles, put them in his bubble palace, imprison them, and torture them...... Not only because of its evil hobby, but also because it is to gather the resentment and pain of countless little girls since childhood, so that his power can be stronger.

The background of this map is the bubble blown by the Bubble King, don't look at it is just a brief map introduction, but behind it is a profound meaning that only players who understand the game's cosmology, world view, and have been in contact with the history of the game can understand.

Kenneth. All of Barrett's bubbles were born for the purpose of imprisonment, torture, pain, betrayal, and resentment...... And his favorite is the little girl bubbles.

Not to mention, this also coincides with the current situation in the qualifiers.

Countless players in order to compete for the 20 qualifying rate, in the case of no way to find the little girl bubble, what to do is to kill, kill enough competitors to reduce the number of players to 20, and then grab the bubble or something else, that's another matter.

In the vast majority of cases, the last remaining players are well below the 20 number, and usually only around 15 players survive.

Resentment, hatred, strife, betrayal...... Scenes of darkness are about to be staged among players, and after this game, I believe that Kenneth. Barrett's power will be even stronger, how to describe this? Kill two birds with one stone?

It's too complimentary, then kill two birds with one stone, this feels quite appropriate, not only brushing off the player, but also telling the player the concept of the game universe in this way, and in the end, the player has to face the bubble king Kenneth, who is countless times more powerful. Barrett.

I have to say, it's a bit ironic......

Because Tang Xin knew this background, he was different from other headless fly-like players.

She counted the number of people in her entourage and waved her hand in high spirits.
