Chapter 300: The Arena Opens
Combining everyone's wisdom and integration, I really found some small problems, but they were quickly corrected by a few people. After a day of discussion and research, when everyone felt that there were no problems with the whole plan, they began to implement the plan.
The first was the overwhelming advertising, followed by the massive publicity of the trading base. Today, the daily flow of people in the trade base is more than tens of millions. There are countless players who have hobbies in this area, especially those so-called rich second generations, as well as official second generations.
Lao Jiu's plan is very simple, and the first three days are free to participate. Players who need to participate in the competition must pay an entry fee of one gold coin, and then the system will randomly arrange opponents.
In addition, any player who enters the auction hall will have a chance to win a spatial ring as long as they participate in the betting. Because the Empire of Freedom will take out ten space rings as a raffle. Ten places will be randomly selected by the system.
As soon as this competitive plan of the Easy Empire was implemented, it immediately caused an uproar among players. Especially those scattered masters, they felt that this was their chance to turn over, and they enthusiastically participated.
In just one day, more than a thousand level 80 players signed up to participate. There are also more than 10,000 players at level 70, and the most terrifying thing is the players at level 60, the number of which has soared directly to more than 400,000.
And Lao Jiu directly got a three-day free one, just to take into account the problem of too many people. So he wanted to use the three days to select the really powerful players. Especially the huge number of level 60 players.
After paying 50% of the funds to the system, Lao Jiu exchanged for a virtual elimination qualification, which is to let all participating players enter the space opened up by the system, and then implement virtual elimination, in which death does not lose the level, but will lose the qualification for the real competition.
Through the systematic selection, it can be said that it is the most direct and cruel selection. The number of level 60 players is only 40, 20 at level 70, and only 10 at level 80.
In the knockout round, the strength of each major level will be suppressed by the same level. Not only that, but the equipment used by the players is also of the same level. And this is going to test the real combat ability of the player.
In order to satisfy all the players who participated, in the knockout round, all players who won 10 games in a row will be recognized by the Empire of Freedom and will be given a corresponding bonus. This is also the reason why all the people involved are willing to fight with that gold coin.
After all, as long as you can survive to the end, players at level 60 can get 100 gold coins, and players at level 70 can get 500 gold coins. Especially for level 80 players, there are 1,000 gold coins to get. This is a windfall for ordinary players.
Lao Jiu is still very satisfied with the selection speed of the system, and in just one morning, the participants of all levels have been selected. In order to reflect the sincerity of the Empire, sixty-one players who won ten in a row got the prize money on the spot.
The total prize money of these is only 15,000 gold coins. Of course, this is only in Lao Jiu's opinion, but for ordinary people, it is more than 10 million RMB. However, these players who receive the prize money must participate in at least one game of competition before they can choose to quit.
The first game was a competitive comparison, which was arranged by Lao Jiu in the afternoon. And the first batch of players to participate in the competition were forty people of level 60. Two players will be randomly selected to compete, while other players who watch can place bets based on the two players selected.
Anyone who bets has a chance to draw a lottery and has a chance to get a space ring. Of course, every player who bets cannot be less than fifty copper coins. For these forty players, the jury is still out on who is more capable.
Therefore, the bettor can only rely on luck. After all, strength is not something that can be seen in one or two games. It is precisely because of this unknown that it is more in line with the psychology of gamblers and makes them more looking forward to the next competition.
Lao Jiu knew very well in his heart that most of the players who are currently participating are here to watch the excitement and draw the space ring rewards. But none of this is important to Lao Jiu, the important thing is that the arena must have a good start.
The two players randomly selected by the system are Zhang Liang at level 62, a young man in his twenties, and Wu Ming at level 68, a man in his thirties. Judging from the appearance alone, it is not clear who is strong and who is weak.
As for the level, at the beginning of the competition, the system will use the low-level players as a reference, and then suppress the level of the two to level 62. As for the weapons of the two, they were all provided by the Easy Empire.
All the silver equipment, eighteen kinds of weapons are complete. It's just some cold soldiers who are out of the door, and the Easy Empire also provides them. After the system selects the two people to fight, the basic information of the two is put on the big screen.
Zhang Liang, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, is good at using spears. Wu Ming belongs to a martial arts family, and his weapon is *. The official information provided by the Easy Empire is only these, as for who wins and who loses, it depends on the player.
Before the start of the game, there is only ten minutes to place bets. Once the ten minutes have passed, the official Empire of Escape will not accept any bets. And the final betting result was also expected by Lao Jiu.
The odds of Zhang Liang winning are 2.2 to 1, while Wu Ming's odds are 0.5 to 1, obviously the audience is still more optimistic about Wu Ming.
When the betting time is just over, it is the time when the system randomly draws the reward, which is relatively fast. In less than a minute, ten lucky winners were born. The Easy Empire issued a space ring to each person on the spot, which was simply the envy of others.
After all the preliminary work was completed, the competition between the two finally kicked off. Zhang Liang chose a three-meter spear, while Wu Ming chose a mountain opening broadsword. The seemingly small central space for the audience is actually very huge inside, which is enough for level 80 players to play at their full strength.
"Alas...... At the beginning, I only wanted to take advantage, but for a hundred gold coins, I had to play a battle, sorry little brother. When he came to the central venue, Wu Ming looked at Zhang Liang, who was much younger than himself, and said helplessly.
"That's 100,000 RMB, even if you die once, it's worth it!" Zhang Liang picked up the spear and said very freely, "No one is sorry for anyone, it's all voluntary, let's fight!" ”
"Good! Like a person who practices martial arts, then the old brother is not welcome! Hearing Zhang Liang say this, Wu Ming's eyes also lit up, and then he put the knife across his chest, made a starting gesture and said, "Please!" ”
"Look at the guns!" Zhang Liang was also unambiguous, he exhaled directly, took a step forward with his left foot, kicked hard with his right foot, and stabbed Wu Ming's throat with a trick of Jiaolong out of the sea.
"Boom!" Hearing only a sonorous sound, when the spear was a foot away from Wu Ming's throat, he swung his knife to block the spear. Then he bent down and rolled forward, the big knife in his hand pulled a circle, and along with his body, it slashed directly towards Zhang Liang's lower body.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, there is only nothing. Zhang Liang's marksmanship can be said to be decent, while Wu Ming's knife technique is a long-standing knife that has been passed down for a long time. From this shot, it can be seen that Wu Ming's combat experience is much richer than Zhang Liang's.
Wu Ming's shot was obviously unexpected by Zhang Liang, which made Zhang Liang directly stunned. However, it was too late, and Zhang Liang followed the force of the spear's blocked shock, and directly made a beautiful backflip, which was able to dodge Wu Ming's attack on his legs.
After seizing the opportunity, Wu Ming took advantage of the situation, turned over the knife in a row, and forced Zhang Liang to retreat. At this time, Zhang Liang was bent on opening up the distance. After all, the advantage of his spear is long-range attack.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was about to lose, the audience began to shout. Of course, what pressed Wu Ming was an excited shout, and what pressed Zhang Liang was a lot of complaining and insulting! Even Lao Jiu shook his head again and again.
"This Zhang Liang is too vegetable, right? At the beginning, he was going to lose, and I still pressed him with 100 free coins! Looking at Zhang Liang's embarrassed appearance, Mi Baoer in the No. 1 private room said with a complaining face.
"Uh...... Are you still betting? You're not short of money, so what's going on. Lao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mi Baoer a little speechless and said.
"What, what's wrong with people earning some pocket money! What if he wins? Mibael said with a roll of her eyes.
"From my brother's point of view, he is bound to lose. A person like him obviously doesn't have a lot of combat experience, why don't you suppress Wu Ming? Lao Jiu looked at her strangely and asked.
"Zhang Liang's odds are high, and he earns more!" Mibael said as a matter of course.
"Forehead......" looked at Mi Baoer, the expression that should have been pressed like this, Lao Jiu was really tired, he had to look at Mi Baoer and said, "It makes sense!" ”
"It seems that my 100 free coins have been lost!" Looking at Zhang Liang, who was becoming more and more embarrassed, Mibaoer said with some loss.
Indeed, at this time, Zhang Liang had been forced by Wu Ming to sweat profusely, and there were many flaws in the evasion, and it seemed that he could die at any time. Don't say it's Lao Jiu, even any player, it can be seen that Zhang Liang can't hold on for even three minutes.
But just when all the players thought it was over, when those players who pressed Wu Ming to win cheered. The battle in the arena suddenly underwent a earth-shaking change, and even Lao Jiu suddenly got up in shock, and Mibaoer opened his mouth even wider!
Not to mention them, even the players watching became silent in an instant. But in the next moment, the entire arena began to cheer and scream again, as well as all kinds of invective and shouting.
Not for anything else, just because at the moment when Zhang Liang seemed to be defeated, he miraculously turned the tables. This made Lao Jiu have to look at this young man differently.
