Chapter Ninety-Eight: MOBA Games

The scene in front of you is no longer the entrance to the fragment of heaven. Ten contestants www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion are spread across two corners of the map, which stretches from the charred hell of lava to the paradise of light and angels. As the two statues at the center, the Seraphic Angel Michael and the Archdemon Beelzebub are standing in two corners of the map as the only conditions for the two sides to fight for victory.

Lin Ao and the others were immediately assigned to the map on the demon's side. Eve couldn't help but rejoice: "Fortunately, it wasn't the spirit who came to the duel, otherwise she would definitely feel uncomfortable watching such a scene." ”

Lin Aohuan looked around, this demonic hell must not be real, and all the buildings were laid out according to the tradition of MOBA games. "2, 3, 3", in front of the statue of the great demon Beelzebub more than ten meters high, there are two small demon statues holding a giant fork, and then there are two such statues at each intersection of the three forks, and this pattern extends all the way to the distance until it reaches the intersection with the angelic realm.

These statues all convey oppressive magic, especially the statue of Beelzebub, a statue with countless compound eyes, like a man and a giant fly, spreading its wings and defying everyone, and it contains an incomparably pure and powerful magic inside. However, these powers are not as dark and bloody as demons, nor as bright and holy as angels, but only in the form of angels and demons. Lin Ao knew at a glance that these must be defense towers, and once the enemy approached, he would automatically attack them.

In this barren land where the lava is hot, Lin Ao and the others can see that there are many small houses made of obsidian and carved with terrifying images on the ground, or caves inhabited by demons. There were bones everywhere, and the smell of blood wafted everywhere, although Lin Ao and the others had never really been to hell, but the scene in front of them was so real.

While they were still surprised, Alice's eyes glazed over, and she stood there, staring vacantly ahead, magic condensing in her hands, a green light shining into the air, text and video all presented on this holographic screen created by Alice. And Alice also explained on the side: "THIS IS A MOBA GAME CALLED RAGNAROK IN THE GAMECENTER. RAGNAROK HASN'T BEEN IN THE GAMECENTER FOR A LONG TIME, JUST SIX MONTHS. Developed by four game companies, it claims to combine the strengths of all MOBA games, and once launched, it overshadowed all existing MOBA games. Customizable starting attributes, thousands of skill templates, and RPG-like gear add to the game's playability. Coupled with the increasingly perfect holographic picture, the number of people online at the same time has risen sharply in the past six months. ”

"I've heard this game too." Lin Ao explained to the other companions, "The biggest feature is that everyone can set their own strength. But now ......"

He glanced at the few people on the left and right, and continued, "I think God has helped us to set the power of each race again. ”

"Whew......" Eve let out a helpless breath, "yes, again...... My power has indeed been weakened. ”

"But that's a good thing." The Unknown Knight interjected on the side and said, "There are werewolves, vampires, and dragons on the other side, and if we talk about combat effectiveness alone, we really can't beat the other side, but now we have a chance to compete with the other side." ”

"Well said!" A screech sounded around them, and a green-skinned, pointy-eared dwarf came out of the ground, only to see it carrying a leather bag about his height and approaching Lin Ao and them with a chilling smile. "Hello! I'm Bobock, a goblin merchant! You can trade all the gear you need with me! What the? You don't know how to trade? Kill the enemy to get gold coins in exchange for equipment, so if you want anything, hurry up and kill the enemy! ”

With the appearance of the goblin merchant, Lin Ao and the others immediately appeared several interfaces, each of which was distributed at the edge of their field of vision, representing the time when the game started, the money they had now obtained, and a series of data.

The most practical thing is that everything they say is recorded in a single dialog. In this way, they can communicate smoothly no matter how far away they are. Several of them were getting used to these new gadgets, but the goblin merchant Boboke was impatiently urging them, and even kicked Lin Ao's ass: "Ouch, why don't you people set off yet!" Time is money, my friend! ”

At that moment, the muffled sound of a horn resounded throughout the map. From Beelzebub's feet, three teams of six little demons ran out towards the three main roads. These little demons are blinded and unconscious, and they just charge forward with their weapons held high.

Lin Ao had hardly played MOBA games, and at this time he was also anxious, and looked at the few companions who claimed to be "masters": "What are we going to do now?" Is it going to be gathered together, or is it going to be scattered in three ways? ”

Anna looked at Lin Ao's embarrassed expression, it was obvious that he didn't know much about what a MOBA game was, and immediately rejoiced, and scrambled to explain: "At this time, I will explain to you the basic tactics of MOBA games!" ”

And so, an explanation began on their way out.

The MOBA game was originally a spin-off of a game called StarCraft, which was developed by Blizzard Entertainment Games in the United States. Since StarCraft comes with a map editor, all players can edit their own maps here.

AeonofStrike, this is the first MOBA-type map in StarCraft, and the prototype of all MOBA games. There are three lanes on the map, and they are connected to the opponent's main base, and the goal of each side to win is to destroy the opponent's main base. Since then, almost all MOBA games have been designed in this format.

Three forked roads, each with three "sentry" towers, the road to the enemy base was full of danger. In addition, the creeps that are constantly spawned in the area, and the units controlled by the opposing player will come to block the path of your attack. Fighting wits and courage, both sides indulged in a tense environment and tried their best to advance to the other party's base.

Starting with a map, this MOBA mode began to advance along the wheel of history. The first wave was developed by Blizzard, World of Warcraft, the same map editor, the same MOBA enthusiasts, and another MOBA map "DOTA" was born. AFTER SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF MAP EDITORS, DOTA WAS EVENTUALLY MODIFIED AND REFINED BY THE FAMOUS MAP AUTHOR ICEFROG, AND BECAME A GAME THAT HAS EMERGED AROUND THE WORLD, EVEN KNOWN AS THE "DOTA GENRE".

Subsequently, more and more "DOTA-like games" were developed, and people officially called this type of game "MOBA type game". Among them, a "LOL (League of Legends)" is a heat wave that expands MOBA games to national competition. For a while, MOBA games have become the first choice for many players to team up and fight together.

"Do you understand?" Anna chattered like Alice's database and told a long history, seeing that Lin Ao and Eve both shook their heads. She immediately said angrily, "Why are you so stupid! To put it simply, this game is all about killing the opposite player, clearing the minions, tearing down the towers on the road, and tearing down their base along the way to win! So our first goal now is to kill those Michael's minions! Then fight all the way through, and finally tear down the statue of Michael on the opposite side! ”

Oh...... Actually, this has been understood for a long time......

Lin Ao and Eve nodded obediently along with Anna, who had already been fried. Lin Ao continued: "Then what should we do now? Scattered minions looking for our demons? ”

"No!" The Nameless Knight shook his head, "Since the other side is all rookies who have never played MOBA games except for the MOBA king, what we should do should be an ambush!" ”

"Ambush?!"

The Nameless Knight went on to explain, "Except for the three main roads on this map, the rest of the area near the main roads is impenetrable to the naked eye, as long as we ambush there and five men attack the lone minions on the opposite side at the same time, then we will take the first tower along the way." The more space we can move around, the greater our advantage will be! ”

Ambush, quick attack? It does seem to work. But the Nameless Knight seemed to ignore the fact that the team on the other side was led by the MOBA King Disjointed, and Lin Ao felt that he would definitely not allow the other minions to fight alone without following orders. Will such a monotonous tactic on their side be viable?

Lin Ao didn't know, he could only trust the Unknown Knight now, and then slowly observe and look for a breakthrough gap.

At this moment, they did not stop running. From the innermost layer of the demonic area, you run along the middle road and go all the way to the hell. The Black Stone Wilderness, bones, corpses, lava, flames, but at every point there is a huge wall enclosing the inner area, and the two demon statues on the wall seem to be guarding everything inside.

And such a wall starts with the statue of Beelzebub, one of the inner Seven Demon Kings, and there are three walls in total, almost impenetrable to surround the innermost core. Every time Lin Ao and the others came to the front of the city wall, the city gate on the city wall would naturally open, allowing them to go to the outer battlefield.

Beyond the outermost city walls, where light and darkness meet, the scenery of heaven and hell merges into an eerie picture. In the middle of the road, the demon minions were already engaged in a battle with the angelic minions, wielding their weapons or chanting magic, constantly attacking each other's bodies. For a while, no one on both sides had the upper hand.

"Over there! Fast! We're hiding out there! Anna pointed to the stone forest by the side of the road, where the magic of light and darkness collided and rhythmically rose up in a magical mist. Once the fog lifts, you can't see anything from the outside.

Such a dangerous location, Lin Ao knew without using his mind that it was indeed a good place for ambush.
