Chapter 14: The First Stage, the Scattered Wings
Hu Di laughed when he heard this. "I didn't expect you to have a good sense of humor."
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I'm serious. β
Hu Di just didn't believe it, pushed his glasses and comforted Fang Yuan: "Of course I know that you are serious, buddy, but people also have to see the reality clearly, even if they barely fight their way out of the qualifiers, they are not the opponent of the Grand Guild Electors." β
Fang Yu couldn't help but be very strange when she heard this kind of self-defeating statement, the last time it was Miya, although her words were different, but the meaning was similar. "Is there really that big a gap between ordinary callups and club-born callers?"
"Of course, the club's callups are all selected from the trainee stage, not to mention one in ten thousand, but at least they are one in a thousand, and they are backed by the big guild, they must be talented and talented, and they must have resources and resources, how can ordinary callups be compared?"
"But aren't there lone wolves in the second world?" Fang Yu asked. By lone wolf, he means those who are not drafted from club or guild backgrounds, but are not really lone rangers, but may also be a squad or a party.
"How many lone wolves are there?" Hu Di shook his head: "At least I'm not that kind of genius, I still have this self-knowledge." β
"But Hudi, the Elector should never give up these two pursuits," Fang Yu did not approve of his attitude, and said seriously: "One is the curiosity that will never stop exploring, and the other is the enterprising spirit that will never give up the pursuit of victory. β
These are two sentences on the title page of the Caller's Hand, and they are a well-known phrase that was widely circulated among the first generation of Callers. But Hu Di suddenly realized that his new friend was still very young, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, shook his head and didn't speak.
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Fang Yu didn't insist on it anymore. In front of it is a huge wooden box, inside which are the clockwork fairies uniformly distributed by the race side, neatly stacked in rows, and the brass shell reflects a beautiful light in the lamplight.
Clockwork Fairy Type II.
Fang Yu couldn't help but think when he saw it: "The organizer is really rich-" But it is not surprising to think that the organizer is the Kaolin Business Alliance and the Elpahin Artisan Association, but it is a pity that these clockwork goblins are used and have to be returned.
Otherwise, this box alone will be worth a sky-high price.
After Fang Yu got the clockwork fairy and linked it to the main crystal, he tried to move the copper feather wings inside, and found that the wing surface was extremely smart, and it was indeed much easier to operate than the old-fashioned goblin.
Hu Di watched him try it out in amazement, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "You haven't used this thing before?" β
Of course, he hadn't used such a high-end thing before.
So Fang Yu nodded subconsciously.
But Hu Di obviously made a mistake, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I see that you are quite talented in manipulating the wing surface, the first time is the first time, you will fly with me later." β
His tone was very sincere.
So much so that Fang Yu reacted and looked at this guy a little speechlessly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, the draw began at this time - to resolve the embarrassment - because there were too many participants and the space was limited, so the competition team had to divide more than 40 people into four groups. Fang Yu happened to be in the first draw, and he stepped forward, and a little dwarf came to look at him with some fear with a wooden box.
He smiled kindly at the little one, then reached into the box. And the little monster deliberately tilted the box at a angle, rolling its big black eyes, not knowing what it was thinking.
As a result, Fang Yu fished out a note, which was written: D12.
"Group D, Twelve." So the dwarf shouted.
Only then did Fang Yuan understand what this little monster was doing before, and according to legend, they had some special little abilities, which must have been used in such a small place. He saw that the little dwarf was still winking at him, and Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but shook his head at it.
The dwarfs couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
Hu Di was drawn in the third group, and the result was a Group B. He walked back with a note with a gloomy face, and said to the other bird: "Unlucky, now you have to rely on yourself." β
"I'm fine." Fang Yu smiled.
"Of course you're okay," Woody said dejectedly, "Group B, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there's the Immortal Worm." β
"Immortal worms?"
"Don't ask, it's just the ID of a nasty dead fat man, but this guy hates and hates it, and his skills are outstanding among ordinary Drafters."
Fang Yu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the first round is not a competitive competition anyway. β
"But the second round is," Hu Di replied in frustration, "the second round is the winner of Groups A and B, and the winner of Groups C and D, theoretically there are only four places in total, and I would have liked to challenge for the second round." β
"Wait, didn't you say the goal was the first round?" Fang Yu asked a little strangely.
But unexpectedly, this person pushed his glasses and replied confidently: "But don't you say it, you will never give up the enterprising spirit of pursuing victory." He smiled and said, "Hehe, I think you have a point." β
Fang Yu looked at this brazen guy and was a little speechless for a while.
However, he also found that talking to this cheeky guy more or less diluted the tension in his heart. Indeed, he was just as nervous, after all, he didn't know what the Battle Craftsmen of the First World were like.
Anyway, in his impression, the term combat craftsman in the second world is equivalent to toughness, and for those people, more control is as natural as breathing and drinking.
If you don't know how to operate on multiple lines, what kind of combat craftsman is that?
Although Fang Yu is still a little confident in his own skills - after all, he has also learned from various gods (on the Internet). And what he was really worried about was his own level, this competition was limited to those within the second order, and there was a total span of fifteen levels from the first order to the second order.
Just as he was thinking about it, the game finally began.
The gnome referee puffed out his cheeks and blew a sharp whistle, and eleven clockwork goblins flew out in unison.
The first round was set on a very simple pitch, starting with an artificial obstacle course, then a zigzag aerial corridor made of iron hoops, and finally an artificial turbulence zone created by the magician.
The whole process of the competition only requires that you cannot touch obstacles, cannot land in the middle of the race, and cannot collide with each other, and there is no requirement for ranking or time regulations, which can be said to be extremely relaxed.
Fang Plover is still a little strange.
Because in his opinion, only the last level is a little difficult, and it needs to test the basic understanding of the air flow of the manipulators, but most combat craftsmen generally don't let go of goblins in bad weather.
However, that's all, Fang Yu couldn't help but think: "Can this kind of assessment really stump people?" β
But it can really stump people.
At the beginning, two people were out of the game because they collided with each other, and then two more people fell to the first level - crashing into obstacles; The second level was even more tragic, with only four people passing through, and as soon as one of them flew out of the curved corridor into the turbulent area, the clockwork fairy was blown away because of insufficient preparation.
The clockwork elf slammed into the dwarf referee's head in a graceful arc, knocking him off the table in a cold swoop. Seeing this, the others hurriedly ran in that direction, and the scene was suddenly overturned.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned and thought, "This clockwork fairy type II is really powerful...... Even hitting people is better than old-fashioned goblins. β
It took a while for the dwarf to get up, and it was not a big deal, except that he shouted in a bit of anger, "Out!" Out! β
So the manipulator also walked down in despair.
As a result, only one of the last three finished the race relatively smoothly, and the remaining two flew to the finish line with a stumbling flight. Fang Yu saw that the first place was still a woman, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with big wavy curly hair, and her appearance was quite outstanding. And when this beauty finished flying, she specially let the clockwork fairy fly around her, which caused a burst of amazement among the onlookers.
Hu Di whispered to Fang Yuan: "That woman's name is Blood Night Demon Moon, she used to be a well-known combat craftsman in the area of Elpahin, and later found true love in the first world, and returned to the real world to get married and have children for two years. Now after coming back, because of the birth of her hand, her state has declined, and others joke that she is a fool who has been pregnant for three years-"
Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little amused when he heard this rumor, but after paying a certain price, the Elector could indeed temporarily leave Aitaria and return to reality, but he didn't know what he, the stowaway, should do.
In fact, he missed his uncle's family a little, he had no parents since he was a child, and his uncle's family treated him as if it were their own, except for those who opposed his election, it was the same as his family.
At this time, the first round was over, and only three of the eleven people passed, and this elimination rate was honestly a bit unexpected by Fang Yuan.
He couldn't help but look at the clockwork goblin in his hand - he thought to himself, how hard is it to manipulate this thing?
Hu Di patted him on the shoulder and stood up as well.
"It's my turn," he said, pushing his glasses, "watch me teach that fat man a lesson, and you'll have to do it later." β
Fang Yu nodded.
In the second round of the competition, Group B had a bit more participants than in the first round, with a total of thirteen players. This group is indeed much more reliable than Group A, no one was eliminated before the second level, and the number of people who passed the second level reached as many as nine.
Fang Yuan's first concern was naturally Hu Di, but after a glance, he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that the other party's control level was not bad, although he stumbled, he still passed the third level.
Then he talked nonsense about the 'dead fat man', and he saw at a glance the guy who was a circle larger than the others, "Hey," Fang Yu thought to himself, "This guy's equipment is really good." "First of all, it's a 'central nervous' AE type magic furnace, and the special-shaped interface on it is a shield generator with a four-sided cone.
Porter's Small Shield Recharge Extender Type B -
Tuhao, Fang Yuan's saliva is flowing out, this thing is not cheaper than his magic furnace at all. Not to mention the flexible construction and manipulation enhancement plug-in on his main interface, which is also a rare C-level quality good product.
However, this guy's level is indeed worthy of his equipment, which can be called superb, whether it is compared to Hu Di or the woman named Blood Night Demon Moon before, it is obviously more than a step higher.
But in Fang Yuan's opinion, it was nothing more than that.
When he saw the clockwork goblins manipulated by these people, he remembered the battle craftsman of the Jeffreyt Redcoats team that he met in the elven ruins, and now it seemed that the other party should at least be quite a master.
At least it's better than these people who don't know how to get there.
And when he thought so, the second round was over quickly. In the end, three people were eliminated in the third level, so there were six people including Hu Di.
Nearly half of the pass rate is enough to show the level of this group of people.
Hu Di walked back with a spring breeze on his face, and said to Fang Ou: "How is it, it's okay?" It's up to you next, don't be nervous, I just took a look at your operating basics, it's actually pretty good! β
Fang Yu looked at this guy and couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
After this guy passed the first assessment, he seemed to be a different person, his tail was about to be cocked to the sky, and he showed the attitude of being a good teacher, and he already regarded himself as a predecessor and pioneer.
However, he also knew that Hu Di had good intentions, so he also nodded.
Hu Di couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that Fang Yu was 'teachable', and was about to teach this 'newcomer' some more life experience, but suddenly a yin and yang strange voice suddenly came:
"Is this your new little brother, our Mr. Tattered Combat Craftsman?"
Hu Di's face changed and he turned around.
At this time, Fang Yu had actually seen the fat man pack up his equipment and come over, and stopped not far away with bad intentions.
"What's your?" Hu Di turned his head and said coldly.
The fat man looked at Fang Yuan's gloves with a mocking expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at your appearance, it's really like things gather and people are divided into groups, where did you pick up the living treasure?" Haha, this glove is laughing at me, man, how did you come up with such a piece of? β
Hu Di's face turned blood red, and he said angrily: "You fucking close your stinky mouth, no one will treat you as a mute, dead fat pig!" β
The fat man's face also changed: "What did you say?" β
"Dead fat pig." Hu Di replied word by word.
The fat man's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly, "Very good, you wait for the next round." Then he glanced at Fang Yu with a gloomy face, and sneered: "Don't be so scared that you pee your pants later, and embarrass your big brother Hu." β
Fang Yu looked at this guy with a question mark on his face.
I wondered where I had offended him, did this guy have a problem with his brain?
After the other party left, he couldn't help but turn back to Hu Di and said, "I now kind of understand why you call him a fat man." β
"If only you understood." Hu Di also thought so.
At this time, the third round of the competition had also ended, and Fang Yu looked over there again, and there were a total of four people who had passed. The dwarf referee picks up the megaphone and lets the next round of contestants enter.
Fang Yu understood himself.
He took a deep breath and stood up, and Hu Di also walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, it's very simple." Fang Yu nodded, picked up his clockwork goblin and walked up.
The positions of the players are marked with white circles on the ground, and he is the twelfth player in Group D, just last. He stepped into the ring, lifted the clockwork leprechaun β and showed off his manipulation gloves like the rest of the runners.
Unexpectedly, it was this action, which caused a burst of laughter.
"Wow, this dude's gloves are awesome."
"Haha, this is the legendary beggar pretend."
"Begging Stream Combat Artisan."
"Brother has created a new genre."
Among them, the fat man called the 'Immortal Worm' laughed very loudly, which made Fang Yu very annoyed, but he himself was a little embarrassed, his equipment was indeed a little too outrageous.
He couldn't help but scratch his face habitually, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the dwarf referee blew the whistle-
Before Fang Yu could react, he suddenly slowed down for a moment.
The laughter around couldn't help but get louder, this young combat craftsman was so funny, he was still distracted when the game began, and the fat man laughed so much that tears were about to flow out.
Hu Di couldn't help beating his chest when he saw this scene, his new little brother and friend was still too young and inexperienced.
But it was at this time that Fang Yu calmed down, he pulled down the goggles with a concise movement, and then adjusted the depth of the lens.
Seeing this action, Hu subconsciously quieted down - very professional, and he couldn't help but have a strange thought flashing in his heart.
Fang Ou held his hand upward.
There was a soft buzz, and the four pairs of copper wings of the Clockwork Fairy II flapped at the same time. Four intertwined spinner curves streaked through a beautiful golden trail that made the clockwork elf vibrate slightly.
It flew, paused slightly in mid-air, and then suddenly turned into an arrow and shot forward.
In an instant, there were more than three or four clockwork goblins.
The whole process is smooth and flawless.
There was a sudden silence all aroundβ
There was a muffled inhalation.
Short path take-off.
Dancing with four wings β
As soon as the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one, and this simple take-off action has conquered everyone. Even the woman named the Blood Night Demon Moon suddenly got up from her seat and knocked over the chair.
And the clockwork fairy in Hu Di's hand fell to the ground with a 'bang', and his mouth was wide open.
What he saw, it was the level of manipulation of the professional drafters.
