Chapter 452: Gains and Losses
readx;
The 10-year challenge is divided into 10 levels, which are determined by the year the player enters Skynet, those who enter the game when the server is open to one year can participate in the one-year challenge, those who enter the game after one to two years can participate in the two-year challenge, and so on, the ten levels are divided by the ten years of entering the game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among these ten levels, the most popular and most interesting is undoubtedly the one-year challenge, and more than 90% of the level masters are also distributed in this level. The rewards of each level of the challenge are also the most generous in the year, and if you get the first place, you will have the same artifact, rare items, and skill books, which are the favorites of the three level masters. The same goes for the rewards for the second to tenth place, but whether it's an artifact, a rare item, or a skill book, the value is a cut below what the first place gets. Eleven to 100 also have good rewards, although it is one less skill book than 2 to 10, it is enough to make all the level masters rush to it.
Even the top 1,000 can be rewarded with a non-ranked artifact. Together with the other nine levels of rewards, it can be said that the activities held in this 10th anniversary celebration are much more generous than any in previous years.
Although the entry fee is free, each of the gladiatorial arenas entered by the competition has 100,000 seats, and players can spend a certain amount of gold to enter the competition of the contestants they want to watch.
Among them, the most ruthless trick of the system is self-pricing tickets, that is, if you want to see the matches played by your favorite contestants, players can buy tickets in advance, and the price of tickets is determined by the players themselves, as long as the 100,000 seats are not filled, a copper coin can buy tickets. If, encountering more than 100,000 self-priced tickets, the highest bidder of the first 100,000 can buy tickets. This trick is worthless when the average player is competing, but when it is placed in a high-profile master's game, the value is infinite.
The second is that all ticket revenue belongs to the system, and there is no compensation for the players who participate.
Relying on this ticket income, there is absolutely no problem for the system to earn back several times or even dozens of times the gold coins of the reward.
Yi Chen entered the game as soon as the "Skynet" server was launched, and if he wants to participate, he can only choose the one-year competition. Bring up the menu for the 10-year tournament, select the 10-year challenge, and then select Register.
In the next second, the system prompt sounds: You are welcome to participate in the selection of the one-year challenge, please choose to challenge npbsp; There are two types of challenges: tryouts and knockouts, and the tryouts are based on the average level of players and NPPC testers. Players who have been on the server for a year have now reached an average level of 85, so the highest NPC tester level is 90. The average level of players within one to two years of the launch is now eighty-one, and the highest level of NPC testers is eighty-six......
In order to overcharge tickets, it is not possible to skip the challenge level, which means that the participants of the challenge can only compete from the first level; The total duration of the challenge is one month, and participants can challenge at any time during the month, but after selecting the NPC tester to challenge, there is an hour to prepare, and the purpose is to sell tickets.
As soon as Yi Chen confirmed to challenge Level 1 NPPC, although most players are still immersed in checking the various event materials of the 10th anniversary celebration at this stage, with his popularity, in just one minute, more than 100,000 players pre-purchased tickets for his challenge at their own prices, and this number is still rising wildly.
I found a monster area, and the countdown of five minutes was soon there, Yi Chen didn't bother to exit the monster area, the battle knife was waved, and the sweep was constantly released, and the monster couldn't get close to him within twenty meters, this scene was like a mage leveling.
In the penultimate second, there was a sudden flicker in front of him, and the dense monsters around him disappeared, and the turquoise grass was replaced by neat pieces of bluestone.
On the opposite side, an NPC tester with a long sword wielded a big knife to kill, and around the gladiatorial arena, 100,000 seats were full, and after Yi Chen appeared, everyone stood up in unison.
Without any hesitation, Yi Chen's right arm swung out, and a white mang roared and galloped, and with a loud bang, the system prompt sounded: Congratulations on completing the Level 1 test, please choose whether to quit the gladiatorial arena.
Exit
Yi Chen's answer did not hesitate, he did not have any share of the ticket revenue, and he was guilty of promoting the system.
Returning to the monster area, the monster that was forced to be twenty meters away in this short period of ten seconds, many of them had already stepped within ten meters, the battle knife was raised, and after all of them were forced out of twenty meters again, Yi Chen opened the system menu and chose to challenge level 2 npbsp; From level 1 to level 50, Yi Chen did it all with one knife, and level 50 to level 60 was only two knives, and then the difficulty increased step by step, and it had already taken him more than a minute when he was a level 90 NPC tester.
It took nearly four days before and after, and the challenge was finally completed, and the Stepping Stone task would only appear when the first knockout match was played, and there was still more than half a month, Yi Chen was not idle, calculating the time, Bai Tong and the others had almost passed the heat of the tenth anniversary celebration, and immediately passed a hundred miles of scrolls.
While accompanying the little butterfly to level up, while waiting for the challenge to end, during this period, the heavenly silence Liuxuan and the hegemony of the world each came to the voice chat, the former said about the battle in the Ding, smooth and righteous to play the sad card, laughing Baquan after getting the benefits of desperate noise, plus I eat the conditions for nothing, the battle Ding finally agreed to go out of the mountain to join the hegemony guild. As for the matter of finding the hidden mission, as Yi Chen expected, someone must have found it, but driven by curiosity, it is not possible to wait for the berserker who found the hidden mission to complete the task or give up on the difficulty of the task.
Dominating the world, for the sake of the battle of the Ding, the battle of the Ding just to the hegemony of the guild for a few days has already convinced him, for Yi Chen to find such a command genius, the world is happy, do not forget to have a voice chat to express admiration.
As for the current situation of the Hegemony Guild, Yi Chen also asked casually, including the Hegemony Guild, there are now only five guilds left in Kadar City, two of which have already pinched each other before the rectification period, and the other two are the illegal guilds and the Thunder Guild that are now recognized as the most likely to take over Kadar City.
Although the guild war consumes a lot of the guild's financial resources, if you can merge the masters of the other guild, after each battle, as long as the level of the guild masters will not drop more than ten levels in this battle, there will still be a certain increase in strength. Therefore, even if the Hegemony Guild does not declare war on one of these two guilds, after the rectification period, one of these two guilds will inevitably choose to declare war on the Hegemony Guild. After all, although the Hegemony Guild has suddenly become wealthy, and there is a level squad behind it, the foundation that has been cultivated over the years is still much worse, and the other Big Mac pinched each other in advance, and the odds of the two sides were only five or five points.
Yi Chen didn't care much about this, he had to fight early and late, according to the analysis of the think tank, if the Hegemony Guild wanted to take Kadar City, it would have to face these two giants sooner or later. In terms of the quantity and quality of masters, the Hegemony Guild may be inferior, but the financial resources are not inferior to the other party, and the new command of the Battle Ding is not yet known. As far as Yi Chen knew, whether it was an illegal guild or a thunder guild, the guild battle relied on the strategy of a think tank hidden behind the scenes.
Compared with a single person in command, a think tank is obviously a cut ahead, but it will definitely take a lot of time for a think tank to study the situation and information, and then integrate their own ideas. In the battle, as long as Ding has absolute command, he can attack or defend according to his own ideas at the first time, although there may be some mistakes in command, but with the fast against slow, plus the think tank behind him as an aid, it is definitely stronger than the illegal guild and the thunder guild.
Who wins and who loses depends on whose luck is good, or who can make some strange moves.
Slowly and leisurely rising to 62% of the 9O level, the knockout round is finally coming, and unlike the challenge time, the opponents in the knockout round are randomly selected by the system, and the time is staggered with each other. On the first day of the knockout, there was a match almost every second except the first hour.
The first time of the knockout round has come out, Yi Chen looked at it, it was two hours later, and after practicing with the girls for a while, he saw that he was about to reach 63% of the 9o level, and the countdown began in five minutes.
When it reached 63% of level 9o, the countdown ran out, and Yi Chen resolutely appeared in the gladiatorial arena.
To be able to enter the knockout round, it is equivalent to the need to defeat the 9O-level NPC tester, whether it is a challenge or a knockout round, players are unable to use any potion, if you want to defeat the 9O-level NPC tester, you can't do it without the strength of the master, and when you meet a priest, wizard and other professions with weak attack power, it is even more a non-level master.
In the crowded gladiatorial arena, although the tickets that can be bought are either rich or expensive, it is also infinitely enthusiastic to see Yi Chen fighting against masters and even level masters.
Entering the gladiatorial arena, Yi Chen looked up, and standing opposite was a mage holding a magic wand.
The opponent of the first knockout match had already been announced two hours ago, and when he saw Yi Chen appear, the mage who had been feeling sorry for himself for two hours and had always felt that he was unlucky suddenly brightened up, and he suddenly felt that with his own strength, he would be eliminated sooner or later, and he met Yi Chen in the first round, not only could he see Yi Chen up close for free, but it was also much more beautiful than entering the second and third rounds.
Such good luck, others can't meet it
After thinking about it, the mage grinned and looked at the distance between the two sides, twenty or thirty meters, no, you have to get closer to see more clearly.
In the amazement of 100,000 people, the mage raised the magic staff in his hand and killed Yi Chen.
At this moment, even Yi Chen was slightly stunned, melee mage?
I didn't expect that I actually met a mage who could fight in close combat, this kind of bull, as usual, Yi Chen had to chase and compare, but not now, as soon as the knockout match opened, the stepping stone task had already been laid out. The Stepping Stone quest can only be claimed by the loser of this round of elimination, which is a full hour later than the player who was eliminated first.
Seeing that the master was less than ten meters, Yi Chen was a little reluctant to call up the system menu and chose to give up the game.
Ding: You have chosen to give up the game, you are the loser in this knockout game, please choose whether to withdraw from the game.
Exit
Yi Chen didn't hesitate, the champion of the one-year competition was rewarded richly, but in his eyes, he was still a step behind the stepping stone. Although it may be possible to miss knowing in advance whether or not you have reached the strength of the first person in Skynet, the first to kill the final boss, the Dark Lord, can also prove it.
Returning to the monster area, saying hello to the women, Yi Chen swung his knife and killed, and when the attack time of one minute passed, he immediately took out the return city scroll and crushed it.
Instantly returned to Kadar City, and then teleported all the way to Sidi City, Baili Roll kept crushing, and in about half a minute, Yi Chen came to a small fishing village on the coast of Sidi City.
Stepping into the village and asking for someone to inquire, Yi Chen immediately came to the blacksmith shop in the east of the village.
With a face, Yi Chen changed into a set of whiteboard equipment that had been prepared long ago and stepped into the blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith's business was evidently not very good, it was deserted inside, the fire had been extinguished, and the blacksmith was lying on his back on a chair with his eyes closed, when he heard someone come in, opened his hazy eyes, and saw that it was a stranger, and suddenly stood up from his chair.
Acquaintances are undoubtedly fishermen in the village, and they only come to build some cheap farm and fishing gear, strangers will come to such a remote village, undoubtedly warriors, warriors come to the blacksmith shop, what else is there besides building weapons? The blacksmith patted his somewhat stiff face, and after sobering up a little, he asked, "This warrior, I wonder if you came to the blacksmith shop to make weapons?" ”
Yi Chen's answer made the blacksmith a little overjoyed, and the next words made him jump with excitement: "I want to build a 9O-level bronze broadsword." ”
"No problem, no problem at all, the big knife made by my Molaika, anyone has to give a thumbs up within a radius of 100 meters." The blacksmith patted his chest, and immediately looked Yi Chen's clothes up and down a few times, and said with some caution: "The 9o-level bronze broadsword needs to consume a lot of bronze, plus labor costs ......."
"How many silver coins?" Yi Chen asked.
"Hmm......" Moleka pondered for a moment, and said resolutely, "Fifty silver coins at the minimum." ”
Fifty silver coins are only half a gold coin, and with Yi Chen's financial resources, let alone a handful, there is no problem with 180 billion. Of course, if you do, the task will be lost.
Yi Chen pretended to dig in the storage space, one silver coin, two silver coins, three silver coins...... After digging out forty-nine, the one that popped out had already turned into copper coins, until the sixty-third copper coin, Yi Chen stopped, his face was ugly.
"Not enough money?" Moreka asked quietly.
Yi Chen nodded: "Thirty-seven copper coins, can you be accommodating, and I will find a way to pay you back in a few days?" ”
Moleka breathed a sigh of relief, it was only thirty-seven copper coins, and it was not much, and she was about to agree, when she suddenly remembered that her apprentice had already gone out to sea with the fishermen to fish because he had no business, and he had to strike iron and pull bellows, which was really a bit troublesome.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a moment, Molaika slowly spoke: "In this way, I don't want the thirty-seven copper coins, how about you be responsible for pulling the bellows for me?" That way, you'll be able to save thirty-seven copper coins, and you'll be able to oversee my weapon-building with your own eyes. ”
"Okay" Yi Chen readily agreed.
The fire quickly ignited, and the materials were also dropped, and Yi Chen sighed while pulling the bellows.
Yi Chen's strength is not small, and while Molaika is satisfied, seeing that Yi Chen always sighs, he can't help but take the time to ask: "Why are young people sighing, this is not good." ”
Yi Chen smiled bitterly: "No way, I finally passed the challenge, but I didn't expect to lose the first game of the knockout round." ”
Molekara's eyes widened suddenly, although the ten-year tournament is a player's business, he obviously knows a lot about this NPC, and then looking at Yi Chen, there is already a touch of admiration in his eyes: "I heard that they are all real warriors who can enter the knockout round, but I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to see one with my own eyes." ”
"Return the warriors, and it will be solved by being hit three or two times." Yi Chen sighed heavily: "No way, who told me that I am poorly equipped, no, all the belongings can't even afford to beat the bronze broadsword, but what people use is an artifact sub-artifact." ”
Moreka suddenly, glanced at Yi Chen's clothes a few more times, opened her mouth, and finally chose to be silent.
The process was very smooth, so Yi Chen was not in a hurry, and pulled the bellows hard.
Three hours later, with a crisp hammer, Moreka raised her hand and a bronze broadsword took shape.
"Thank you" took the big knife handed by Molaika, and after Yi Chen thanked him, he looked like he couldn't put it down, and stroked the big knife in his hand while walking towards the shop.
"Wait"
When he was about to reach the door, there was a sharp cry behind him, Yi Chen's heart was calm, and he turned his head to look at Molaika.
"This ......" Moleka hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely spoke: "I have a treasure map of the sea in my hand, which was handed down by my ancestors, and it is said that there is an enviable treasure in it, anyway, I can't get in after countless attempts, if you can make up 10 million gold coins, I can consider transferring it to you." ”
Ding: Please choose whether or not to receive the quest 'Transfer Treasure Map'.
The masters who can pass the challenge, which one of the masters lacks gold, but they will wear a full set of whiteboards to a small blacksmith shop to make bronzes, and they will sigh at an NPC. It can be said that the unbelievable degree of this hidden mission contact condition can definitely rank in the top three among all the hidden mission contact conditions in "Skynet". Before, Yi Chen still had a glimmer of doubt, but now, he was only overjoyed.
The task finally arrived, and without any hesitation, he chose to take it at the first time.
"Okay, I'll find a way to raise coins."
Yi Chen said hello and immediately stepped out of the blacksmith shop, his heart was already inexplicably excited. Floating clouds will have the degree of a leapfrog assassin.
10 million gold coins is just a piece of cake for Yi Chen, but the player who received this task in his previous life only came back to complete the task after an hour, and for fear of any accidents, Yi Chen had to find a monster area and pass it over.
