At the end of the second round, there were only 720 contestants left in the [Battle of Cocoons].

Wang sighed and was among them.

After that game, Brother Long communicated with Xiao Si once and exchanged some information about the situation at that time. Long Aomin is indeed a very "big road" person, and he is very open-minded after losing. He was not annoyed at all, on the contrary, he was very appreciative of Xiao Si's surprise tactics, and almost clapped his hands......

Anyway, Blade is not a commercial game studio, and there are no ranking requirements for the members, so it doesn't matter where Brother Long loses.

However, the game did generate quite a bit of discussion on the forum. Since Brother Long sent Dream Horror Zen to the play-offs in the first round, many players once regarded him as a dark horse in this competition. As a result, only one round later, the ID of [Long Aomin], which had just become a little popular, revealed the news of being eliminated......

"I said earlier, Long Aomin only won the first round by luck" This opinion has sprung up on the forum. In fact...... The people who expressed these views have not watched Brother Long's game for 90 years...... And I haven't seen it in two rounds. They just read some posts and news, make some assumptions based on the outcome of the matter, and make some fallacies.

Of course, there are also many players who have really watched the battle of Vain Sigh VS Long Aomin, and most of them are rushing to see Brother Long, but they didn't expect the result of the tunnel battle to be like this...... I didn't expect the process to be so dramatic.

Xiao Si completed a classic kill in front of thousands of spectators, and although there was an element of luck in this, as Feng Bujue said, since he could come up with the idea and dare to take the risk to do it, then he could afford the victory.

It's just that...... Compared with Brother Long's fame after the first round, the ID of [Sigh in Vain] is still tepid. It seems that the vast majority of people still think that he won a fluke.

…………

At one o'clock in the morning on May 21, the third round began.

Xiao Si, like the first two rounds, was on standby in the landing space on time.

It's still the familiar system prompt: [The third round of the Battle of the Cocoon is about to begin, your number jù will be loaded in thirty seconds, please do not leave the landing space.] 】

[Countdown to the first 10 seconds, nine, eight, seven...... Two, one. 】

But...... After the countdown ended, the opening remarks did not arrive as scheduled.

After about five seconds of silence, Xiao Si just felt that something was wrong, and the system voice sounded: [No matching target found, you have a bye in this round, congratulations on entering the fourth round directly. 】

"Huh?" After listening to this prompt, Xiao Si was a little overwhelmed. It took dozens of seconds before he reacted, "Did someone not line up on time?" ”

Obviously, yes.

Coincidentally, one of the 720 players who entered the third round of [Battle of Cocoons] did not show up tonight. The reason is that his wife gave birth to a child...... He was sent to the hospital in the evening, so he wasn't online at all tonight.

If an even number of players is absent, the system can still complete pairs until the next round becomes an odd number. But only one is missing tonight, so ...... One player had a bye.

And Xiao Si is the one with a bye.

Five minutes later, when he came to Feng Bujue's conference room and told him about his direct promotion, Brother Jue's complaint was: "Your character...... If you can give me 20%, I will sell all my family property tomorrow and buy a plane ticket to Macau. ”

…………

All in all, Xiao Si advanced to the top 360 without any waves.

The next day, the matter of the bye was hyped up, and many IDs who were obviously Internet trolls put on a posture of righteousness and strictness, and fired at Dream Company on various forums.

Breaking apart and crumpling the arguments of these people, and then looking at the core meaning, to put it bluntly, "This is not fair!" So-and-so, who was eliminated in the play-offs, should be allowed to play him! Winner advances! ”

Discerning people know at a glance that this is a farce run by some game studios in the next game, wanting to give their eliminated players another chance. Seeing the bye as a lifesaver, these studios sent gunmen, self-proclaimed bystanders, and acts of righteous indignation, sparing no effort to create public opinion in an attempt to put pressure on game companies.

But they clearly got it wrong......

Dream Company is not an ordinary game operator, and it is basically their motto to do their own thing and laugh and scold others.

In the case of a player who is unable to play due to off-field factors, it has long been stated in the rules that it is regarded as a waiver and there is no objection at all. So Dream Company has a completely ignoring attitude towards those water armies.

So, after making a fuss all day without success, the annoyed gunmen focused their attention on Xiao Si, which can be said to be angry...... In short, Xiao Si was targeted. If his appearance in the fourth round is good, then the people naturally have nothing to say; But if he appears vulnerable, it will surely be the main excuse for the trolls to attack after the game.

When the time comes...... "If so-and-so is allowed to fight, he will definitely be promoted!" "Dream Company would rather give bye waste wood promotion than give powerful players a chance, where is the justice? "This kind of rhetoric is bound to blow out, which is already predictable......

…………

May 22, 1 a.m., the fourth round of [Battle of the Cocoon].

"The obscurity of the deep forest sleeps in the cocoon, and the softness of the fingers is refined." After the countdown ended, the opening sentence was pronounced word by word.

[Loading has been completed, and you are currently in the Battle of the Crown.] 】

[This mode has no script introduction, no sideline/hidden quests and no special world view.] 】

[Script Victory Reward: Advance to the Top 180]

【Main quest triggered】

【Kill Opponent】

Xiao Si was transported to a black wasteland, the ground was made of solid rock, and there was no grass; Looking around, it is empty, and there are no obvious landmarks.

A full moon, suspended in the air.

Two figures, standing proudly.

In Wang Sizhi's sight, a familiar face appeared. There is no need to confirm through the game menu, Xiao Si recognized the other party - [Seven Kills].

Seven Kills also recognized the man in the distance dressed as an assassin.

There's nothing wrong with this map, and both of them know it very well.

Seven Kills and Brother Long's friendship is also good, and besides, it is not the first time he has met Xiao Si. Therefore, it is equally impossible to expect him to underestimate the enemy.

The bright moon is thousands of miles, and the killing intent is full of intent.

The winner advances, and the loser is eliminated. There is no way back, and no one will back down.

"Whew...... Such a map, such an opponent...... I guess I'm a bad luck ......" Xiao Si adjusted his breathing, thinking in his heart, "But......" He looked down at his hands, "Why are you shaking with excitement...... Is it deep down in my heart ...... Are you longing for such a battle......" (To be continued) RT
