Chapter 33: Ice Arena

(Due to chapter content adjustments, two chapters have been added to the first chapter of the Arena chapter.) )

The activities in the game world are not limited to doing quests and farming dungeons. According to Liu Ronghua, it is also very attractive to players to hold various fun or welfare activities on a regular basis every week.

Such as "Pan Taoyuan Festival", "Arena", "Race around Chang'an City", "Treasure Hunting in Tianshan Mountain", "World Boss", "City Battle" and so on.

Basically every day of the week there is an event scheduled. Among them, weekend activities are the most generous.

In the upper right corner of the game interface, there is a "Event Calendar" menu button, which can be clicked to display the details of daily activities.

Today, Tuesday, the event is "Arena". This aroused Sun Yimin's interest, because Liu Ronghua had mentioned the game's characteristic fighting system before, and he planned to experience it.

The entrance to the arena is located in the city of Chang'an.

At the entrance to the towering arena building, there are three statues, all of which are plated with metal colors, namely bronze, silver, and gold.

Larger than the average player character, these statues stand in a formidable battle posture and look down like giants at the player characters as they come and go.

The gilded body glistens in the sunlight and looks really majestic.

He clicked on the NPC at the entrance to the arena, the "Arena Keeper", to claim the quest. The content of the mission is roughly as follows: Participate in each Arena event, regardless of whether you win or not, you will receive a certain amount of experience points. There will be additional prizes for the winners.

By the way, Sun Yimin had a general understanding of the rules of the arena at the NPC as follows: The arena activities are subdivided into two types, one of which is called the "Ice Competition" activity, and the other is called the "Fire Competition".

The difference is that the former is a 1v1 fighting competition, while the latter is a 2v2 fighting competition. The former focuses on the player's combat skills, while the latter focuses on the cooperation between teammates.

The rules of the two competitions are different. The Ice Competitive Gameplay implements a knockout promotion system, and the competition cycle starts every Tuesday and ends on Sunday. Suspended on Monday.

Players who participate in the Ice Tournament must start signing up on Tuesday, and if they miss it, they will have to wait until the following week.

After that, the system arranges multiple group competitions according to the number of participants, and after the survival of the fittest, until the finals are held on the weekend. The winner is the champion of the week, with a special title and a material reward.

Of course, taking into account the fairness of the competition, as well as ensuring that the game is exciting. 1v1 Tournaments are segmented.

According to the power rank of the participating players, players with less than 50,000 combat power can participate in the bronze level competition. Players with 5-100,000 power can participate in the Silver Tournament. More than 100,000 players can participate in the Golden Arena.

The rules of the Arena of Fire are slightly different. This event is only held twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The winner will be determined on the same day, and a certain material reward will be given, but there will be no honorary title. This kind of competition is not divided into ranks, and all players can participate, so it is basically won by combat power.

There are two ways to form a team in Agni Athletic, one is to find a companion for yourself to build a two-person team and sign up collectively, and the other is to sign up for a single person and the system will randomly match teammates.

The 3 statues standing at the entrance of the arena are from the champions of each rank of the Ice Arena from the previous week. Nothing to do with the Arena of Fire.

At this time, Sun Yimin noticed that there were two lines of words floating above the heads of each statue. The first line is the title of the Arena winner, and the second line is the name of the player character of the winner.

The three titles are: "King of the Arena" (Bronze), "God of the Arena" (Silver), and "Saint of the Arena" (Gold).

Sun Yimin noticed the gilded statue with the title of "Saint of the Arena" on his head, and the name was "Burning Heaven". This name is very familiar, this Xingtian is naturally the leader of the world's largest gang "Sen Luo Tang", and the god with the highest combat power in the whole server.

The name of the silver-plated statue with the title of "God of the Arena" on its head was: "Murong Qiuxin". The name may seem familiar. asked Liu Ronghua on the side to learn that this Murong Qiuxin was actually the trumpet of Murong Chunxue.

"Didn't you say he was awesome at fighting? Why did you just use the trumpet to mix a silver arena god? Why isn't the champion of the Golden Arena him? Sun Yimin asked.

Liu Ronghua explained: "The combat power of players in the golden rank is more than 100,000, but there is no cap. Murong Chunxue's combat power is only more than 200,000, no matter how good his fighting skills are, can he beat those gods with hundreds of thousands of combat power? ”

Sun Yimin nodded silently.

Liu Ronghua added: "The Silver Arena is different, because the maximum combat power of participants is 100,000, and those who exceed it cannot enter. Therefore, it is relatively fair. In the case of equal combat power, it is the player's fighting skills that are fighting. ”

Sun Yimin had a slight understanding. I thought to myself: it would be a great honor to have your own sculpture standing at the entrance of the arena for countless players to see.

Thinking of this, he said to Liu Ronghua on the side with a longing face: "It would be nice if one day I let the statue of King Xiang appear here." ”

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply." Liu Ronghua's cold water made Sun Yimin a little unconvinced.

The time was nearly 20 o'clock, and Sun Yimin decisively signed up for the 1v1 competition.

click

PC Arena Administrator, select Enter, and there are three options in the pop-up dialog: "Ice Arena", "Fire Arena", "Nether Arena".

He could understand the meaning of the first two arenas, but Sun Yimin wondered what this Netherworld Arena was for? I don't know.

Sun Yimin chose the first one. After selection, the system will automatically assign the corresponding division according to the player's combat power value.

Sun Yimin was naturally assigned to the silver-level arena.

The competitive opponents are randomly matched, and Sun Yimin was lucky, and he met a bully trumpet with a combat power of more than 50,000 in the first game. Even if Sun Yimin operated clumsily, he still easily solved the opponent.

The second game was not so lucky, the opponent was an 82005 combat power of Yu Bing, which was actually lower than Sun Yimin. He thought: I should be able to pass the test easily this time!

However, at the beginning of the game, Sun Yimin unfolded a ferocious offensive against convenience, and Sun Yimin was sparsely manipulating more than a dozen skill keys on the keyboard, and he was a little in a hurry and couldn't react.

And this Yu Bing keeps releasing control skills on him, one moment is stun (so that the opponent can't move and can't fight), one moment is frozen (you can use skills but can't move), and one moment is blocking moves (you can move but can't use skills).

From beginning to end, his king Xiang was basically only beaten. Until the end of the battle, he didn't touch the opponent a few times. The other party barely lost blood.

Sun Yimin was eliminated from the game, and this battle was very sloppy, and he was a little sullen after playing.

Liu Ronghua glanced at his computer screen and said disdainfully: "I said you can't do it a long time ago." ”

"Alas......" Sun Yimin sighed and asked, "This is the first thing, this Yu Bing's combat power is still a little lower than mine, why was I abused by him from beginning to end, and I didn't even have a chance to fight back?" ”

Liu Ronghua explained: "As I said before, the combat in this game is very technical and technical. This ice is a control class, and you have to be proficient in using your control skills to deal with him, and you must take the opportunity to fight back. ”

Sun was silent.

Liu Ronghua comforted again: "Actually, this arena is just for casual play, there are not many material rewards, don't take it too seriously." Coming to the tournament is basically to mix up some experience points and leave. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you will be rewarded with XP. ”
