Chapter 7: Making a Living (3)
It turned out that the team's management and investors did not expect the team to enter the playoffs, let alone enter the final four, and the motivation for the design of this bonus was the carrot in front of the donkey, which was only shown and not eaten.
I didn't expect the team's strength and performance to exceed everyone's expectations, and I booked a playoff spot a few rounds in advance. When it came to the end, the team manager kept his promise, but when these people really asked them to pay the money, they couldn't help but feel pain, so they kept delaying it for various reasons.
After the September 8 team was eliminated, the tournament organizer investigated the matter in detail and found that the players' complaints were true, and after the coordination failed, the organizer kicked the operator of the September 8 team out of the league on the grounds of non-compliance with the agreement, and the team's daily life was temporarily taken over by the league organizer until a suitable investor was found to take over.
The matter was dealt with, and the unscrupulous operator was kicked out of the league, but the total bonus of up to 1.5 million on the contract has not yet been settled. Xie Liuying and I both know that Wang Jingluo wants to concentrate on big things, and he is also very nervous at the moment. As a result, there is today's "face-to-face" event.
The event announcement also stated that one of the biggest reasons why the members of the September 8th team were eager to get the bonus that should have belonged to them was that the father of the team member Gao Pinghai (id Wang Xianzhi) was seriously ill and urgently needed a huge amount of surgery fees. His teammates were willing to help him, but the current situation is that he can't get the prize money and everyone has no money.
Unlike the previous "Demon Invasion" and "Ghost Shadows", this event does not need any updates, and is a temporary event to raise 1.5 million yuan. Players only need to spend 5 yuan to purchase the newly released "Wait until September 8th" honor badge in the mall to participate in this event. At the same time, the badge is a permanent appearance pendant, which is very beautifully crafted and not a loss when purchased separately.
The activities are as follows:
Any player with a Medal of Honor can sign up for it at the designated NPC. Similar to Arena, players sign up for 1V1, 2V2, 3V3, 5V5 matches, all players can choose one of the above modes, and first make a random match for 10 games, and score points according to the relationship between the winners and losers in the 10 games and the percentage of retained HP.
In the event, the top 32 teams with 5V5 points, the top 320 teams with 3V3 and 2V2 rankings, and the top 160 players with 1V1 rankings will receive "Xingchenlu" as rewards. After that, in addition to 5v5, these teams/players will be divided into groups of 32 to fight against each other, and the final winning team/player will have the opportunity to compete with five players from the September 8 team and part of the user manual of "Xingchenlu".
The five players of the September 8th team formed teams and participated in a 5v5 game, 5 1v1 games, and 10 2v2 and 3v3 games in different permutations, for a total of 26 games.
In this way, the "Xingchenlu" as a reward is very crucial. We saw in the announcement that this thing is similar to "Tian Yuan's Testament" is a "scripture", which can interpret all kinds of things including skills and trigger some special plots, so the "user manual" that you finally get is actually very important.
My sister and I glanced at each other, with our current situation, of course, participating in 2V2 is the best choice, because there are ten possibilities for 5 players to form teams in pairs, so there are as many as 320 teams shortlisted. With our current equipment, not to mention whether we can reach the finals, it's good to be able to get this "Xingchenlu". Because when the time comes, if the bigwigs who get the manual reveal the news, we can "prostitute" the key information in it, follow the interpretation of the "true scripture" in our hands, and make a steady profit.
10 bucks is nothing to us, but we can buy two nice pendants, help a group of pros who are struggling, and have the opportunity to acquire new skills or unlock new branches.
Although our number has just reached the full level and the equipment attributes are very average, the matter of Yin and Yang Internal Strength has been exposed, and we can use the special effects unscrupulously, which makes the 2V2 battle situation particularly favorable.
After a brief discussion of tactical coordination, we purchased the event items and signed up for the event. There are many players who buy event pendants, but the players who sign up for the competition in the end are generally players who are more confident in their own operations and equipment, so these ten random matches are not easy to play.
In one of the games, because of the gap in equipment, my sister unfortunately died, but fortunately, in the end, I won the game without danger by relying on my own operation. After ten consecutive victories, we successfully entered the top 32, and at the same time, we also received the "Star Record" issued by the system.
At this point, our ambitions naturally swelled with it.
Me: "I'm a bit of a mediocre interest in that manual, but we're going to go professional soon, and the September 8 team is in the Final Four this year, so it's a good opportunity to play against the top teams of the day. ”
Senior sister: "I think so too, but it's not easy for us to reach the final in our current situation, and we almost lost one game in random matches. ”
Me: "No way, it's in an Internet café, and I don't even have a left-handed mouse." ”
In the battle just now, I have been playing with my right hand, which has dragged my senior sister back to a certain extent.
Xie Liuying: "Didn't you tell me that you had developed a new style of play?" Reliable, not? ”
Me: "Reliable, I made an appointment with Zheng Mingchuan that night and almost killed him." ”
Zheng Mingchuan's "three-inch sunshine" equipment and internal power layers are far ahead of my "Guo Family Nursing Hospital", he does not have a situation like Liu Chuanhao who has not touched the game for a few months, and at the same time, he is a knife and shield player, and he has a higher fault tolerance rate than flying knives in the case of equipment crushing.
Senior sister: "Is it so powerful?" ”
Me: "But it's not a trick that you can use in an Internet café." ”
Senior sister: "It's okay, I've been prepared. Then, under my astonished gaze, she pulled out a professional left-handed mouse from her suitcase.
Me: "This ...... What's going on? ”
Senior Sister: "I heard that you developed that new style of play, so I bought this thing, but I never found the right opportunity for you." I didn't want to play professionally with you, so I wanted to take the opportunity to go to H City to give you this thing as a farewell gift to congratulate you on going professional. ”
Me: "Wait, how can you be sure that I'm going to go professional, didn't I say that I would wait until I visited their company?" ”
Senior sister gave me a blank look: "Heh, I don't know you yet?" You say that you will decide after the visit, but you are just giving yourself an excuse. ”
