In the evening, when the registration for the "Second Hellfire Challenge" had just begun, Zhao Nuo, who had returned home, chatted with the Mafia on the Hellfire battle platform.

was discussing Xia Xiaoling's fighting game technology, when the Black Hand suddenly changed his words and asked:

"Have you ever heard of the legend of 'Ice Blood'?"

"I don't know, what is that?" Zhao Nuo typed out a line of words

"It's the so-called 'fighting game god-level player', it is said that this person used to meet opponents on the battle platform back then, and anyone who faced him was a dead end."

"Are you talking about urban legends?" Zhao Nuo responded.

"No, I'm telling the truth." The Black Hand looks serious.

Since Zhao Nuo doesn't use the battle platform to play fighting games, he usually goes directly to the arcade hall to have a good time, so he has never heard of characters such as "Ice Blood".

However, he is also very interested in this kind of urban legend-level player.

Where there are people, there are legends. And some gamers with excellent skills will become "urban legends".

is different from people like themselves who choose to be a game streamer, and the sense of mystery is greatly reduced. Those mysterious legendary players can arouse the interest and speculation of players, and become a name that players will remember.

-- In Japan, there was a god-level player who used to be called "blank" by the name of a space to sweep all kinds of games, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if the world had evaporated.

And this "ice blood" story sounds similar:

"Where is this man now? Do you think he'll come to our challenge? Zhao Nuo asked.

Hearing this, the Black Hand first sent a string of ellipses, and then immediately said: "Don't joke, it's impossible." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Nuo asked.

"The man suddenly disappeared three years ago, and has not been seen since, and some people even think he is dead. At that time, I also loved to play fighting games, so I heard about it. The Black Hand replied.

"Oh, I see." Zhao Nuo expressed understanding.

- Although it is indeed strange that this mysterious master suddenly disappeared, Zhao Nuo does not think that guy is dead.

The reason for this sudden retreat, from what I know, is generally much simpler than the average player thinks.

I used to know a super master of racing games, but one day I suddenly retired, and when I found the guy and asked why, the guy just said in an indifferent tone, "I'm too lazy to play".

However, if you want to say that it suddenly disappeared three years ago......

Glancing back at the bedroom door, Zhao Nuo decided not to think about it so much for now. I just keep an eye on the game sales and the registration for the challenge from the planning team.

Contrary to his previous inference, after the announcement of the second Hellfire Challenge challenging Xia Xiaoling, the game's online mode activation code sales reached a new peak.

At present, the sales of activation codes have quickly exceeded 30,000, and they are still rising rapidly.

Although such a number is not worth mentioning for those large online games, for a new stand-alone game company like Hellfire Entertainment, for a fighting game that can only allow two people to go head-to-head at most, it is already considered a success!

"It's a good idea, our sales have really increased" The Black Hand Soldier was halfway through his words, and suddenly there was a strange pause, just when Zhao Nuo wondered if this guy was excited and died suddenly in front of the computer, the other party finally started typing again:

"Look at the tenth name on the contest entry list."

Hearing this, Zhao Nuo, who only paid attention to sales before and didn't care much about the registration list for the challenge, casually clicked on the registration list just sent by the members of the planning team.

Skimming over the jumble of names above, he focused his gaze directly on the tenth:

Ice Blood SSR.

"Huh?"

Seeing this name that appeared in the chat just now, Zhao Nuo frowned slightly, and sent a message to the Black Hand: "It should be the same name, right?" Didn't you say that this man had retired? ”

Until now, he still had absolute confidence in Xia Xiaoling's victory, but if a legendary player like "Ice Blood" joined the battle, the situation would not be very different......

"It's retired, but it seems that 'Ice Blood' did always add three random English letters to the end of his name, no one knows what that means, it should be his hobby. I think there's a chance that this person is the original. The Black Hand said.

"Don't bring the 'Curse of the Black Hand' here." Zhao Nuo teased, and then thoughtfully moved his gaze back to the list of members who signed up for the challenge.

Due to the limited scale of the event, only 400 people are allowed to register for each challenge, and then these 400 people start to fight against their neighbors according to numbers, No. 1 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 4...... And so on.

Since the players who were left to the end of this challenge were going to face off against Xia Xiaoling, without the oppression of the terrifying "stellar wreckage", the registration speed of players was much faster than before.

Less than five minutes after the registration began, the 400 places were fully filled, and the qualifiers were about to officially begin.

If the Black Hand suspects that the "Ice-Blooded SSR" is the real thing, he might as well go and watch that person's game......

Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo immediately used his administrator account to find the room where the "Ice Blood SSR" was located and became a hidden spectator.

Since it is a qualifier, the level of players is uneven, and the final result of the game is that the winner clicks the "win" button by himself, and if both sides click the win button at the same time, the video will be called up for viewing.

In this kind of informal "audition", naturally there will be no audience watching, so even if the spectator mode is turned on, there are only two people in the room of the Ice Blood SSR, he and the "fighting genius" opposite.

"Let me see what you're capable of? Ice Blood. ”

Thinking of the black hand soldier blowing this person out of his god before, Zhao Nuo was also a little curious at this time.

At this time, Ice Blood typed out a word: "GO? ”

“GO。” The fighting genius replied.

After a brief conversation between the two, the game finally begins.

The map of the match is "Lava Pool", and the erupting volcano can be seen in the back of this map, and even on the map, there are places where you can see flowing lava, and if someone accidentally touches the lava, they will take continuous damage.

As for the game characters of both sides, "Fighting Genius" chose Xiang Yu, a character who is commonly used by newcomers, this character with a large attack range and great power is one of the favorite characters of novices who are currently new to the game.

And the choice of "Ice Blood SSR" is one of the currently very unpopular characters - Su Daji.

Even though the appearance is the image of a "beautiful snake" wearing red tulle and bewitching, Daji's attack power is not very good, and the attack range is even more pitiful, which is in stark contrast to the opponent's simple and rough "Western Chu Overlord".

So even if it's very beautiful, this character is very unpopular at the moment. Most of the players who chose this role, after using it once, immediately gave up this "garbage character" that was almost impossible to beat people, and was often tortured to death by the computer.

However, Zhao Nuo, who is a game tester, knows very well that this character is not a waste wood, but the game has just come out, and the playing style has not yet been discovered.

- Isn't this guy already familiar with how this character plays?

Zhao Nuo was still in doubt, but when he saw that the game had finally officially begun, he immediately held his breath and began to watch the qualifiers.

The beautiful woman in red wearing a silver hairpin is holding two silver daggers, and she is really weak just by looking at her appearance. Standing opposite her was a tall man wearing red heavy armor and holding a dragon-patterned giant blade, with an extremely domineering appearance of the "Overlord of Western Chu".

However, even if there is a big difference in appearance, of course, there will be no heroes saving beauty in the game.

At the beginning of the game, the "fighting genius" who chose Xiang Yu ruthlessly swung the giant blade to attack, leaving a golden afterimage in the air with the big knife in his hand, like the traces left by a dragon galloping past.

Facing the menacing Xiang Yu, the "Ice Blood SSR" controlled Daji to retreat, unable to dodge, his shoulder was slashed by Xiang Yu's knife qi, and a faint blood mark appeared on his fair skin.

"It's worthy of an execution team, and the effect is quite detailed...... No, I digress. ”

Continuing to watch the game, Zhao Nuo sighed with some disappointment - in the face of Xiang Yu's overwhelming attack, because the attack range was too small, Daji did not fight back, but kept dodging and blocking, looking quite wolf.

――Is this kind of guy really a legendary player "Ice Blood"?

Two seconds later, Zhao Nuo realized that he had completely misread before:

Xiang Yu, who kept slashing wildly, saw that he had forced Daji to the edge of the battlefield, and if he retreated, he would fall into the magma pool. Without saying a word, he immediately sent out a shock wave that could repel people, trying to directly blast the beauty in red out of the field, directly ending this battle with a huge disparity.

But...... All he could do was the afterimage.

The ghostly red light and shadow brushed past the tall overlord, and two silver lights pierced directly into his back, and since the start of the game, Xiang Yu's life bar, which had always been full, finally dropped a little.

In the same way as ordinary players, Xiang Yu immediately turned around and slashed. And then......

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, Daji actually twisted the wrist of the hero in front of him.

This joint move, which can only be used when facing each other at close range, causes enemies to freeze for a short time.

But it was a brief moment of less than a second that decided the outcome of the game!

The dazzling silver arc of light enveloped the overlord's body, and the red-clothed "femme fatale" finally showed her full strength in the close combat.

Daji has a small attack range, but she's the kind of terrifying character who can make people suffer when she gets close to an enemy!

Under the continuous control techniques and blood-consuming techniques, Xiang Yu couldn't move like an electric shock at this time, and when he finally released his domineering spirit to break free, his blood volume had dropped to the red danger zone.

However, even though Daji retreated, her attack was not over.

The red light mist that rose from under his feet suddenly enveloped Xiang Yu's body, and the poor Overlord of Western Chu couldn't even scream, so he disappeared under the ruined red light, and his blood volume was instantly deducted.

"It's ......"

Zhao Nuo, who only thought that the Ice Blood SSR was very powerful before, was already surprised at this time:

Daji's area attack skill can indeed be activated from the foot delay, but in that case, you need to hold down the light attack button. Once charged, light attacks cannot be used.

I didn't even see when this person made his move before, if this guy kept holding down the light attack, could it be ......

"Didn't you have a light attack in the combo just now? This guy is too strong, isn't it? ”

Realizing the other party's operating methods, Zhao Nuo suddenly became excited, and couldn't help but regret why he didn't participate in the battle.

- Even if Daji is one of those classes that is invincible in close-range combos, it is based on the ability to operate without leakage, and the fastest light attack is also an important part of the combo.

But just now, the "Ice Blood SSR" didn't use light attacks at all, and just used other attacks to complete the entire set of combo skills!

Even if Zhao Nuo himself went out in person, he was not sure to complete such an operation.

In this way, this "Ice Blood SSR" is indeed the legendary Ice Blood!

"Did you see the game? That man is too fierce......" The message of the Black Hand came.

"Well, let's inform Xia Xiaoling." Zhao Nuo said and began to call Xia Xiaoling on QQ

Although there is still an urge to applaud this person's operation, after all, it is still necessary to do business.

In the face of such a strong enemy, we can't take it lightly, otherwise it will not be good if we lose the "Hurricane Prototype". R1152
