Chapter 5: Retribution for Evil (5)

And this task as a "stepping stone" is called "bending the bow and shooting the eagle". However, the whole process of the quest is stinky and long, and the rewards are very mediocre, so it was originally an unpopular quest. And one of the processes of this mission is to come to this Yulin Army camp.

The reason why this task was chosen as a stepping stone to the tryout is because of the following characteristics in the long process of the mission. First of all, there are parts of the process that will test the player's reflexes and operations, secondly, another part of the quest will test the player's character attributes and equipment, thirdly, there is part of the process that relies on teamwork and cooperation, and finally, the whole tedious quest line and the not very lucrative coach will test the player's perseverance and patience.

In this way, for a professional team, the person who completes this task has at least the following characteristics: 1 Good operation and reflexes. 2 The attributes of the game account are good 3 Have basic communication and teamwork skills 4 Have a good mentality and have enough perseverance, and really think clearly about the price to pay for playing professionally, rather than having a hot head and only three minutes of heat.

Looking back now, although there were many unreasonable things about this "stepping stone" back then, it was slowly eliminated by the times with the passage of time and the development of the industry. But in those days, it was indeed effective in dissuading a large number of Internet addicts who confused "wanting to play a career with being able to play a career".

This makes us have to re-examine the whole thing, does Zhao Quanrui's appearance in this location mean that he once wanted to play professionally? His 2,500-plus points in the arena, his stellar performance in closed beta, and the tedious task he is working on all seem to speak for themselves. And the year he died was exactly 18 years old, which is the prime age to enter the professional arena. All kinds of signs show that this rich second generation is not simple, he seems to have the same idea of playing a career as Zheng Mingchuan, but unfortunately the task as a "stepping stone" was not completed, and he died in an accident, which makes us even more convinced that his death seems to have another hidden meaning.

And part of the requirements of this bow and eagle shooting mission is to sneak into the deepest part of this Yulin army camp and steal a treasure. This was originally a task process with dual requirements for operations and account attributes, but because Zhao Quanrui has the Four Envoys Token, he can easily enter it without going through any twists and turns. According to Lao Xu's own account, he died here three times when he completed this mission, so he was very impressed. In this step of the mission, players are required to team up, one person takes the treasure in the Yulin Army camp, and the other person defeats a monster in the wild at the same time. The interval between the completion of two steps cannot exceed three minutes.

This provides us with an important clue, when the character of Zhao Quanrui died, and even when he died, he was actually in a state of teaming! In other words, if the two of them were on the team's voice at the time, his teammates would most likely have some clues about his death!

We brought up his account, according to Lao Xu's opinion, although the task of infiltrating the Yulin Army camp is as difficult as a sky for ordinary players who do not have tokens, it is not easy to kill that monster, and there is a time difference between the two to complete the task. So if Zhao Quanrui really wants to complete this task, he should find a friend who is not bad and has a relatively high tacit understanding value to team up together.

According to this information, we found a player with the ID "Heroic Sword" in Zhao Quanrui's friend list, this person has a relatively high friendship with Zhao Quanrui, and it is obvious that they are friends who often communicate and often play games together. And this person's arena also has a high score of more than 2,500 points, which can be said to be a perfect match for the conditions that Lao Xu said. Not only that, but we also found out that the last time this person logged in to the game happened to be the day Zhao Quanrui died, so many coincidences put together, this "Heroic Sword" is naturally necessary to be investigated.

It's a pity that the game at that time did not popularize the real-name system, although we have this person's game account, and we can also check the account through the background, but there is no way to know who this person's specific surname is.

However, it can be seen from the IP address of his login that he and Zhao Quanrui are not in the same province, and the geographical location is very far away, so the two are most likely to meet through the game, rather than friends in reality. Luckily, although this Sword of Heroes has been out of the game for a long time, the guild he was in has not been disbanded, and we quickly contacted these players who have not quit the game, hoping that they can help in the name of the game's officials. Although he did not inform the cause and asked those who assisted in the investigation to keep it confidential, it was promised that they would reward them with treasured items in the game afterwards.

Faced with such conditions, no veteran player is willing to refuse. We quickly learned about Hero's Sword from a few old men in the gang, and it was about the same as we expected, this man had a very high level of gameplay and often played with Zhao Quanrui's character. From their hands, we also successfully obtained his chat software account that was added to the gang group back then.

Wang Jinglu and we all believe that contact with this "heroic sword" is crucial. Because this person may have unimaginable major clues in his hands, at this juncture, whether for us or for the mastermind behind the scenes, he has become a key figure in "helping Chu to prosper, and helping Han to die". But he has been out of the game for a long time, and there are many variables in the whole thing, so it is safe to ask him to communicate in person offline.

Originally, Wang Jingluo would arrange for a trusted staff member in the company to undertake this task, but after adding the other party's account, we were surprised to find that his account avatar is a sword, and the shape of this sword is very familiar to me, which is the "dead grudge" I use. Considering that this drawing is from the library of the old man of Hegui, and the scholar Shangxian did not make this sword because of his own divine martial arts, the only character who uses this sword in the entire game should be my "carved boat".

It seems that although this person has been retired for a long time, he has been paying attention to the dynamics of the game league, considering that he himself used to be a swordsman, and he once did that "bow and eagle shooting" with Zhao Quanrui, then it can be speculated that he may have also considered playing professionally. It's a shame to say that my team and I have received a lot of attention because of our rise to prominence in the summer, and this person uses my sword as his avatar, so if he is not a fan of mine, at least he appreciates my style of play or longs for the state I am in.

In this case, the success rate of my personal interview with him must be much higher than that of ordinary staff. Considering that the game is a matter of life and death, I also had to spare a few precious days to travel to the other party's city and communicate with them face-to-face.
