Chapter 40: Rookie Race

"Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going? ”

It's September, and the sun in the sky is still very hot, but in the air, it is inexplicably stable.

Holding a bottle of mineral water and carrying a briefcase, it was like an office worker who had just left the unit, and someone stood helplessly in the wilderness.

Here, it is the seventh area of the Grand Duel Arena, and it is also an invitational warm-up match for the Juggernaut Tournament.

"Headache, why did I promise to come down at the time."

Looking for a shady tree trunk, Zheng Li sat down directly, ignored the other competitive contestants, and slowly drank water and rested.

"Probably, it's because neither I nor that stupid eagle can refuse Sister Yinzi........"

Before, when he finally dismissed the unrealistic competition Hou Yi Shenming's request, and pushed the rabbit to the desperate seat with a smile, Sister Yinzi, who was a bystander, suddenly said.

"Ah, I almost forgot, Xiao Zhengli, you have been in contact with psionic energy for less than ten years, it stands to reason that you can participate in the Sword Master Novice Competition, you can participate in the competition with Xiao Mengqi, right?!"

I? On the spot, Zheng Li found out more than a dozen reasons, what work is too busy and has no time, the rabbit needs to be polished and trained, and there is no time to do any senior brother's commission, and the decapitation demon is still at large.

But it's not worth a sentence......

"At the end of this year, it's probably the last Juggernaut title tournament I've ever seen, hey, in my life, I've failed too much, and I've failed to impact mythical creatures, and as a collection of my path, my self-created genre doesn't even have a top ten event honor."

"The children are not uncompetitive, everyone is a good child, but they are almost lucky, the weakness of the eagle boy is too obvious, it is impossible to participate, your little green sister is jealous, Xingyu is a good child, they are all ready to compete for our genre to win glory, the result is ..... Woo woo, the most qualified but the most unfilial......"

This terrible acting pretending to cry and the look of looking up from time to time made Zheng Li a little unbearable.

"Sister Lan Mengqi is amazingly talented, she is lucky at the right time, and she is very popular when she debuts as an anchor, and she will definitely be able to help our genre win glory!"

"Do you believe this by yourself? I don't care! You have to at least get me a Little Sword Saint title back, Hou Yi, I won't force you, that is indeed a bit difficult, but it's just a novice title in the city, you touch your conscience, you really can't do it at all? ”

Touching your conscience? Uh, where to go? Do I have that thing?

At that time, Zheng Li regretted mentioning the matter of the Sword Saint Race to the rabbit, he forgot the current situation of Sister Yinzi, and he couldn't clean it up on the spot.

Sister Yinzi, who was aroused by her interest, used up the soft to the hard, and the hard to use up the soft, tossed until three o'clock in the morning that day, and finally Zheng Li could only bow her head to be able to sleep peacefully, and now she has a confused face on the morning of the third day.

"Rookie competition? It's just an unofficial qualifier to warm up and score points, isn't that a bully......."

I simply took out a picnic cloth from my briefcase, and the communication watch was handed in, so I sorted out the information while drinking coffee, and I was idle, and no one would find me without a long eye, wouldn't it.

In this era, everyone knows martial arts, a warrior needs a lot of actual combat accumulation, and in the process of growth, reputation and prestige can be exchanged for resource investment, and when it comes to preparing for quasi-mythological advancement to a certain extent, it also needs a lot of prestige accumulation, which needs to be played.

In fact, all kinds of actual combat events are held every year, and the Juggernaut Title Tournament at the end of the year can be regarded as a reserved item.

But putting everyone into one event is undoubtedly very cheating, and newcomers can probably only encounter all kinds of spikes and teasing when they encounter veterans.

There are also many types of top warriors, since it is a competition, the overall strength and the use of martial arts cannot be equated, and the result is that the title of Sword Master and the event are divided into three types, which is also the system generally accepted by the big cities now.

The first one, of course, is the unlimited Juggernaut title match, which does not limit the number of blades, and the championship won is the most capable of fighting.

As a result, it has become a fight between gods and goddesses every year, and many places eager to impact quasi-myths and mythological bigwigs to compete for fame are high-risk matters even to watch the battle live.

The second is the single-edged (skill) Juggernaut title competition, each contestant can only resonate with a single blade (other spiritual blades can force a state of sleep, and the lack of biological energy also causes the psionic organs to sleep), compared to the personal swordsmanship (ability) of each sword master, the title skill Juggernaut is also known as the sword god among the people, and it is actually more concerned than the one above.

Single-edged matches look at combat skills, martial arts, ability combinations, tactics, etc., and are actually more spectacular, and the occasional newcomer (under the age of fifty) can gain a lot of reputation.

Obviously, these two Zheng Li will not touch.

Everyone has similar single-edged basic conditions, can you compete?

Even if you have two more blades, those old perverts who have been fighting for decades outside can abuse you as little ants, and they are almost at the end of their life, preventing them from gaining prestige and impacting quasi-myths and myths, and there is absolutely no possibility of mercy on their subordinates.

From another point of view, this is also the reason why many veterans are very unhappy with the current online live broadcasts, and they are desperately brushing up their reputation, and the other party has inexplicably obtained a bunch of them, and they may not be able to use them in this life.

The third category is the standing rookie competition.

Veterans have their own stage, newcomers need opportunities and platforms to show themselves, various teams and forces need newcomers, rookies also need to polish in order to become old hunters, this kind of free combat opportunity that will not die, only once a year (usually expensive in the training room).

The entry requirements for the Rookie Contest are simple, "within 10 years of obtaining the Awakening of the First Blade Psionic Energy" and "under the age of 25".

As long as one of the two is met, the number of entries is unlimited, but most people only participate once and try their own catties........ Except for those who are desperate to find a team, this is the safest and most efficient job search platform for them.

Before the popularity of online adventure livestreaming, this was the easiest opportunity for newcomers to get resources and favor and rise to the top, and many teams are still looking for new people here.

Zheng Li planned to pull the anchors into the water, which was also a rookie competition, but he didn't expect that he would also be pulled into the water by rabbits.

In the past, Zheng Li had not participated once, and he did not even plan to participate, he always felt that it was quite worth the loss to leak his information to the public for the sake of that little resource.

But this time, he was chased to the shelves.

"I hope it won't be seen by familiar people....."

But apparently, the god of luck did not favor him.

"Hey, it's actually Mr. 100%, he actually meets the conditions of the rookie competition, and it's even more incredible that he actually left the game in person, which is interesting."

In front of the TV screen, an invited middle-aged commentator saw the screen of the contestant that was cut in an instant, and shouted to stop again and again.

On the screen, it cuts back to someone who is drinking tea and writing, completely different from other newcomers who look nervous, he is too leisurely.

I was tired from reading a book, yawned, and was ready to lie down with my briefcase...... Not far from him, there was a nervous man crouching on a tree and in the grass with a weapon.

Due to the consistently high number of participants in such competitions, the first few rounds mostly use a multi-player melee elimination system.

It is commonly known as the battle royale mode, where 50 to 200 people enter a venue, and finally the survivors and spectators vote for the top to enter the next round.

As for the last few survivors, the first few votes to enter the next round depend on the quality of the event itself.

If you're unlucky enough to encounter a shark? The preliminary round can be entered multiple times, but only if you come out of the shadow of death quickly.

One of the most common reasons for newcomers to retire every year is that they were beaten autistic in the preliminary round of the rookie competition, and they were beaten to suspect that they were not the material.

To enter the one-on-one elimination system, even the lucky ones in the lowest two rounds are almost the strongest ones in 10,000.

"Well, I'm pretty familiar with him, especially since my warband used to deal with him, and he's a pretty tough guy. I thought it was just a boring race to brush up on the scores, but I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing. Heh, someone's going to be unlucky. ”

The professional commentator on the side instantly refreshed, and he thought it was just a boring outpost, brushing up on the lowest-level event for newcomers who had never participated in the Sword Saint Tournament, but he met the "difficult guy" in the other party's mouth, which is not an ordinary evaluation, after all, ......

"As far as I knew at the beginning, several war groups recruited him as a senior member of the intelligence department, and some even gave him the treatment of deputy regimental level, but he was not moved."

At this time, even the drowsy audience who watched the newcomer timidly cheered up.

The battle group is a military organization that the sword masters gather into a group, some have backers and some operate completely freely, some of them are small and some are large, the strongest can even be regarded as a city, and the weakest is probably four or five people, but what the people in front of them are talking about is definitely not that kind of grass platform team.

"Among them, there are thousand-strong Lightwing Lions and Red Turban Battle Groups, heh, if he is willing to join, I am willing to give him a deputy head to help me take care of those young men."

The person who said this, but the grand master of the thousand-person battle group "Black Ride" "Black Armor" Stron, was able to be invited over to comment, and he was also a veteran of the industry.

"Oh oh, that's amazing, such a person can actually participate in the rookie competition........ Well, our backstage has found out the reason for his participation, and there is a pure newcomer among the participants, he should be escorting his little junior sister! What a qualified senior brother! ”

The screen cuts to a tree trunk and grass...... There is also a rabbit that blends perfectly with it.

Zooming in closely, you can see a rabbit's trembling thighs and panicked eyes as long as someone walks in front of the grass.

"Uh, it seems like she's an Inhuman who just signed up, and she should have joined this ....... A hundred flowers and thousands of colors, a phoenix singing, a school of bow skills? What a strange name. Well, she registered six days ago, which threw her into this life and death field, which is really a cruel combat genre. ”

In fact, it was a person who was forced to participate in the competition, and he was unhappy that a rabbit could stay at home and watch the live broadcast, so he used the reason of "even if the qualifying tournament is next month, it's good to brush up on the points of the competition and see the blood, heh, I can still protect her", and directly dragged her down.

To ensure fairness, everyone's entrance is random, and apparently someone is in the mouth.

But in fact, what he said also made sense, and Sister Yinzi didn't stop him.

Probably, only a certain rabbit himself is still trembling, waiting for the "rescue" of a senior brother.

"Is he strong? Is that type of sword master? To be able to gain fame at such a young age, to be a master of swordsmanship? ”

The young professional commentary will also bring rhythm and directly ask the questions that the audience is most concerned about.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him make a move in public."

Now, don't talk about the audience, even the commentary is full of question marks, you don't know how strong he is, I haven't seen him shoot, and you're willing to give him the position of deputy head of the regiment? That's at least 5% of the net profit, how valuable is he?

Styrone touched his chin and pondered for a moment before continuing to explain.

"It's been a bit long since I said this, it was four or five years ago, he was a front-line staff member of the mission release office in Bailu District, responsible for distributing tasks to medium and large warbands and idle elites like us, this is not an easy job, many people have not been doing it for a long time."

It turns out that the system of issuing task commissions like that in RPG games, and whoever wants to receive it, will receive it, but it doesn't work in reality.

Since it is officially commissioned, it must be a relatively important work, and it must be completed within a limited time, and the failure of the task is not a simple "hero has to do it again", in reality, not only will people die, but also a series of negative chain reactions.

The tasks of the district government are also light and heavy, and the people entrusted with the task are also strong and weak, and in reality, there is no simple and easy-to-understand task hierarchy, and in the end, it depends on the judgment of people.

This work is quite important, but it is extremely difficult, whether it is an elite warband or a lone powerhouse, they will not put all their combat power on paper, and the simple description of the mission commission may contain a super pit that can kill mythical creatures.

It can be said that in order to achieve a high task completion rate, it is quite a test of the vision and intelligence gathering ability of the task publisher, which is basically held by elite veterans who have been in the industry for decades, and even so, the completion rate hovers around 60 to 70 all year round.

"Everyone was quite unconvinced of him at first, after all, he was young, how could he feel at ease by handing over his life to the hairy boy. But then I found out that the tasks he issued were always just right, and the success rate was extremely high, so I had Mr. 100% of the statement. Oh, in fact, how can there be 100% in reality, but the results of our private calculations by several large groups are more than 90%, and that is quite terrifying. ”

With a look of memory, Shi Delong smiled, when he heard that the other party had been promoted, although he took it for granted, he still felt that it was a pity, and even the people who went to the task release office in Bailu District to find work were reduced by two percent.

"Oh, it turns out to be a rare intelligence processing ability, that's completely understandable. It's a pity that as a viewer, I thought I was as strong as you......"

Stron smiled again and didn't continue talking.

In my heart, I have completely different ideas.

"Do you really think this job is for the weak? Those bastards who don't want to take simple tasks that pay well, and those who fail the tasks won't find someone to vent their hatred? The weak can't control the scene at all, and those who asked Mr. 100% for trouble in private either didn't appear again, or they kept their mouths shut and didn't talk about it at all. Heh, to this extent, no battle records have been leaked so far, which is a super exaggerated thing in itself. ”

Styrone shrugged his shoulders and focused on the broadcast, this time he might see Mr. 100% shot, and he was looking forward to it.

"Hey, isn't this the new generation trump card of the Tiger family? I happened to encounter one, and I had a good show to watch. ”

After flipping through the information, the serious face of the Chinese character had a bad smile.

He manipulated the contact form, and the warm-up event, which was originally a tendency to brush points, entered the next process, and the safety zone was narrowed in a guided way, and some people were guided to the direction he expected.

"Heh, since you can participate in the rookie competition, it will be less than ten years since you have been in contact with psionic energy, and in this category, the martial artists of the subhuman family have obvious advantages, and they are still the flame rune tiger family in the first-class family, heh, it seems that it is still a 'one', which should be able to force out something real."

A quarter of an hour later, the meeting he had hoped for between the two powerhouses finally happened.

"Oh oh oh, the two contestants met, they seem to know each other, and the female subhuman seems to be emotional? Uh, she made a shot! The color of this fire may be the time migration tiger family! Hopefully, Mr. 100% of the civilian will be able to hold out a little longer. ”

"Uh, she missed? Is it a bad state? ”

"Ah, she had her ears ripped off, her buttocks slapped out, and her tail plucked! It's humiliating! Do they have a grudge? ”

"It's wonderful, that's a duel! Being able to use the family duel at such a young age must be a key training object, and the team that needs new people has seen it? Such a good seedling is not yet quick to bet. ”

"Well, it looks so painful, I actually hit the girl's head with a stone, it's really cruel."

"Mr. 100% is a bit excessive, he actually sat on the girl's waist, tied his feet with the other party's tail, and cut the tiger claws of the tiger family........ She cried, really cried. Until now, we haven't seen Mr. 100%'s spirit blade, and he beat a tiger family member who is proud of hand-to-hand combat to tears with his bare hands! ”
