Chapter 281: The Audition (Three points again)
At 11 p.m. on August 17, the three-day registration period was announced.
Rowan got the information from the electronic elves, and the number of applicants exceeded tens of thousands!
He knew that most of the tens of thousands of people were just there for the Digimon, but as long as a tenth, or even one percent, of them were actually there for the competition, then it would be enough.
Rowan thought for a moment and asked, "The first round of the competition is an audition, right?" β
The animatronic said, "Yes, the first round is the audition. Contestants will be selected using a free duel. At the time of registration, we issued a number plate to each participant. According to the rules of the audition, the contestants must pin the number plate to their chest during the competition, and then they can freely choose their opponents to duel. The winner will receive the loser's number plate, and the winner will be selected from the audition if he gets 10 number tickets within the next three days! β
Rowan said: "Ten number plates, that is, I am going to borrow the audition to reduce the number of people to one-tenth? But despite this, there are as many as a thousand people left, right? So how does the preparation for the qualifiers work? β
"Because the number of people who signed up this time was so large that we made some changes to the predetermined rules. The qualifiers were grouped from four to nine, and they were grouped according to the city. Fernandi has nine districts, each of which happens to be grouped. Each group is about one hundred and twenty people. Each group of 120 players is the qualifiers, and we will give them the title of trainer. Then, among the more than 100 people in each group, we will adopt a double-elimination system, that is, those who lose one game fall into the lower group, and those who lose the second game are eliminated directly. The last person left, the one with the most wins, is the king of the city! In addition to the king of districts, the second place finishers from each district will also qualify for the final round of the third round. In this third round, we will use a points round-robin tournament, with one point for each win, and each player will play eighteen matches, and the top four players with the most points will enter the semi-finals! In the semi-finals, the two players with the highest points will each have the right to pick their opponents, and the final will also be a double-elimination system, with the winner going to the training master! β
After listening, Luo Wen thought for a moment and said: "If the points round-robin system is adopted in this third round, each player will play eighteen games, is this a little more?" β
"It's a lot, but enough games to generate enough profits," the animatronic elf said. And let each powerful player have as many fighting opportunities as possible, so that the strongest player can absorb as much combat experience as possible from the rest of the players, and our real goal is to use this competition to create the first Tier 5 Digimon using the Gu Raising Mode! β
Rowan couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart: "Create a fifth-order Digimon? It's quite an idea, and if you can evolve in the course of the finals, then it will definitely create a huge sensation! β
The electronic elf smiled shyly: "But this is only a small chance, no one knows if it will succeed." β
Rowan said: "I'll wait and see. β
β¦β¦
So the next day, on the morning of August 18, the audition of the Digital Masters Tournament officially began.
Because the audition is completely free, there is no regulation of the duel venue, there is no regulation of the duel opponent, so there are often players on the street to catch dueling!
And because the physical destructive power of Digimon at this stage is basically 0, and the destructive power of the skill is relatively limited, there is no need to worry about causing damage to the castle.
Pedestrians on the road also went to watch with great pleasure.
Therefore, once there are players in the vicinity of the duel, there will be people who shout and call people over, and form a crowd of onlookers together.
In this format, the weak ones are constantly being eliminated, and because the power of Digimon has little to do with the age of their owners, even a child and an adult duel can be able to win the battle!
This phenomenon of defeating the strong with the weak, although it is an illusion, is still enough to attract people's attention!
Therefore, this wave of duels hit the whole of Fernandi like a tornado!
Even if Rowan is staying in the tavern, he can meet so many guests who go out directly after eating and have a duel outside the door!
The loser presents the number plate, and the strong person receives it and puts it away, only hanging his own number plate on his chest.
Players who have more than 10 number tickets can go to the previous registration point and hand in the number plate in exchange for the qualification to enter the official competition!
β¦β¦
As a reserved tavern owner, of course, Rowan can't go out to watch at will, so he took out the "stand-in puppet" that he synthesized earlier, asked it to imitate his own appearance, and then put a hat on it, covered his eyes with bangs, and manipulated this stand-in puppet to go out and watch everywhere!
Dueling by himself and watching a duel are completely different things, and Rowan is not very interested in his own duel, after all, no matter how much Digimon is cultivated, it will not be as powerful as the Beanie he has cultivated.
However, his interest in watching the duel was quite high, and watching the contestants excitedly shouting the names of their skills and loudly commanding their Digimon to attack and dodge, Rowan felt as if he had traveled to the world of PokΓ©mon, and there was some strange excitement.
I watched it for three whole days.
Three days later, the audition ended.
But in the end, the number of people who advanced to the qualifiers was less than 1,000!
However, if you think about it, you can figure out that although the total number of participants is as high as tens of thousands, there must be many people who join in the fun who will choose to abstain, and there are also those who are competitive and will continue to fight after getting ten number plates to get more number plates for glory!
As a result, the number of people who will advance to the qualifiers will plummet.
However, it didn't have any effect on the game as a whole.
On this day, the Digital Alliance rushed to the manuscript overnight, printed the photos, names and ages of the less than 1,000 people in the same newspaper, and then quickly distributed them, so that everyone knew that these people were the strongest people who officially entered the qualifiers, and they were all people who could call themselves trainers!
There will then be a two-day break, during which the players will need to travel to the city that never sleeps in Midtown to register and arrange accommodation.
With the sheer size of the city that never sleeps, it is naturally more than enough to arrange accommodation for less than a thousand people.
The less than 1,000 competitors will begin their official qualifiers on August 23, where their matches will be played in the official ring, with the media picking the heavyweights to broadcast in real time, and those outside will only be able to watch their duels on Magic TV.
If you want to witness this high-quality duel for yourself, you must enter the city that never sleeps.
And in the city that never sleeps, in addition to watching and appreciating duels, of course, there are also essential betting games......
In such a model, it is natural for the audience to bet with the highest enthusiasm on their favorite players.
β¦β¦
However, on the night of August 20 before that, Rowan conducted another eleventh consecutive lottery.
In this eleventh consecutive lottery, he won a hat, a razor, a Want Want senbei, a memory stick, a piece of beef jerky, a branch, a flower, a plastic lunch box, a pack of instant noodles, a wall calendar, and a cash register!
The hat is a bright emerald green color, and the name is "Amorous Hat", and the person who wears the hat will unconsciously feel like an ape in his heart, and everyone will seem to be in his heart and become an amorous person.
A razor, on the other hand, is a very common double-ended razor, named a "permanent razor", and the hair that has been shaved by it will not grow back.
When Rowan saw it, he suddenly thought that if he used this "permanent razor" to shave his hair, wouldn't he become forever bald?
So he felt a chill in his heart, so he decided to refrigerate it.
But Qin Ying snatched it away from him with a quick hand!
But it's true that in addition to the hair that can't be shaved, there are many hairs on girls that they want to shave completely, and this permanent razor is an artifact for them!
Rowan thought about it, and finally didn't shave off the beard he was growing......
The third summon after that is a piece of Want Want Immortal, this Want Want Immortal is really only one piece, not even a wrapping paper!
And after identifying it with a magnifying glass, the name of Want Want Xianbei is called "Crazy Xianbei", which shows that as long as you eat it, you can get a chance to go crazy!
This is undoubtedly a good thing to increase your combat power at a critical time.
The fourth summoned memory module is called "external memory module", which Rowan attaches to the Digimon machine under the guidance of the electronic elf.
From then on, the Digimon Machine, which could only hatch 60 Digi Eggs at a time, became a Super Digimon Machine that could hatch 600 Digi Eggs at a time!
This was undoubtedly a big surprise for Rowan, and he was in a good mood to move on to identifying the next summon.
This fifth summon is a piece of beef jerky, which is called "Transform into beef jerky", which is basically an alternative version of "Eat sour plum and become superhuman", that is, "Eat beef jerky and become a minotaur"!
As long as you eat this piece of beef jerky, you will have the ability to transform into beef if you eat any beef, oh no, it is the transformation ability to become a minotaur!
Of course, Rowan is not clear for the time being, he only sees from the name that this should be a piece of beef jerky that can be eaten and transformed once.
Maybe one day when he suddenly wants to figure out the specific effects of this beef jerky, he will take it to Doudou to eat.
But now Doudou is still adrift at sea, but he was lucky to escape.
And the branch of the sixth summon is a peach blossom branch, which is called "Peach Luck Branch", which feels like a matching existence with the "Amorous Hat", and this "Peach Luck Branch" is a branch that can bring peach blossom luck as the name suggests.
The ability is also well understood, that is, it can enhance the charm value of the wearer, so that the opposite sex will unconsciously fall for it.
Rowan imagined for a moment that if he had an amorous green hat on his head and a peach branch in his hand, wouldn't he be able to transform into a gorgeous species. Male pig's feet for horses?
If you eat it again, you will become a minotaur......
He couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly put it away.
The seventh summon was a flower, an unknown little yellow flower, which looked like the kind of wildflower that was common on the road, and the petals were no more than five pieces, the only special thing that could be seen from the outside was that it had no roots, and it was still bright and dripping, and there was no sign of wilting.
It's called "Lucky Flower".
Every time you eat the petals of a lucky flower, you will get a day of good luck.
"That is, if you feed someone a lucky flower, and then bring him a bad luck star...... So he can only spend the day in guano falling from the sky and stinking ditches that keep falling? β
However, this "lucky flower" is indeed a good thing, if one day Bai Lao divination bad luck, you can use this lucky flower to rush.
As for the usual times, Rowan said that he was lucky enough to not need this add-on at all.
The eighth summon was a yellow plastic lunch box with a bear motif, which Rowan was very impressed with because it was the plastic lunch box he had used himself...... I bought it casually at the school commissary.
It's not that he has bad taste, but because the school commissary only has lunch boxes that look like this, so he has to buy them.
Well, the purpose of buying a lunch box is to eat instant noodles.
Then after that period of instant noodles, he didn't feel like vomiting when he smelled instant noodles, and he couldn't eat instant noodles anymore.
The name of this plastic lunch box is "insulated lunch box", which is a very serious lunch box that can have thermal insulation.
"If you have a child in the future, you can use it as a bento box...... But before that, I might have used it for crafting. β
Rowan shook his head and picked up the ninth summon - a pack of instant noodles!
This pack of instant noodles is the classic Master Kong braised beef instant noodles, and it is also the main instant noodles that Luo Wen vomits when he smells it.
But if you don't need to soak it, but use it to eat it dry, he can still accept it.
The name of this package of instant noodles is called "Master Kong's Braised Beef Noodles"!
"Who doesn't know, isn't it all written on this bag?"
Luo Wen was really too lazy to complain, but maybe it was because he had been in business for too long, so he was thinking about whether he could take this instant noodles and study and copy them on the spot.
Adventurers will love this instant noodle that can be eaten with a soak in hot water.
However, if you are in a labyrinth, you must eat it with a prop that absorbs the smell, otherwise the strong smell of instant noodles will definitely attract a large number of monsters.
"If you think about it, it really has development value, as long as you are careful not to eat it in a deep labyrinth...... No, even in the depths of the labyrinth, you can eat it dry! This way the smell is not strong. β
