In the face of the upcoming new version, Gu Qinyan, Reis, and Su Xing did not show too many surprises. In fact, professional e-sports players like them generally don't want to change versions, because one generation of versions and one generation of gods, sometimes a small change may force professional players like them to change their playing style.

And if the change brought about by the version change is too big, even if the level of the game uniform is always fixed at level 70, it will still lead some professional players to be directly "defeated by the version" and never return to the ranks of first-line players.

However, the new version also symbolizes new opportunities, and those professional gamers who would otherwise not be able to get ahead may also take advantage of the new version to change their position, so the version change is not a bad thing for them.

"So, what about your artifact? How's it going? Xia Chiyu asked, Gu Qinyan snorted coldly, and took out a sword from the inventory, this sword is a Western double-edged sword, the sword body is straight and slender, but the blade of the sword is a soft curved sharp blade, the beautiful gauntlet is inlaid with sky blue gems, and the sword body glows with a faint white light.

In appearance, it is an elegant and beautiful longsword like the Staff of All-Knowing, and it is quite sacred. However, Gu Qinyan did not use this weapon, one is because it is a low-level weapon, and the other is that its special effects are not so practical.

"Angel Sword, the special effect is that there is a chance to summon Angel Feathers on the field when attacking, and touching each Angel Feather can increase the movement speed by fifty percent. Of course, the enemy can also use this angel feather, which makes me feel a little embarrassed. Gu Qinyan shrugged his shoulders and said.

As we all know, the reason why the four kings can become the four kings is that one cannot deny their own strength, and the second, which is also the key point that Xia Chiyu thinks, is that the artifacts and holy weapons held by the four of them are all weapons, and they are the current top eighty-level weapons.

Weapons are the most difficult to get in the Hallows, as most of the player's damage is tied to the weapon's damage. Therefore, even if the special effects of a low-level holy weapon are good, it is not as good as a high-level purple weapon. But on the contrary, if there is a weapon that suits you as an artifact or holy weapon, and this weapon is of a high level, it will bring more than a little bit of difference.

Because first of all, the attributes of holy weapons and artifacts are slightly higher than ordinary purple equipment, if it is armor, then it is armor and additional attributes, and if it is a weapon, it is attribute and weapon damage, so if the high-level holy weapon is the weapon part, then the damage will be significantly higher than usual.

Even if it is a level 70 artifact and a holy weapon, as long as the special effects are appropriate, it is enough to be used as a graduation weapon.

"Didn't brush it out." Reis and Wake shook their heads in unison. Xia Chiyu was not surprised by this result, because the two of them didn't have any artifact blueprints, so the drop was not 100%.

However, on the other hand, special items such as artifacts and artifacts are fixed to certain monsters before they fall into the player's hand and the player dies causing the item to be lost and returned to the drop list. That is, those fixed copies in AO, so if you can determine the drop bosses of artifacts and artifacts, you can repeat the farming until you farm artifacts and artifacts.

Of course. This behavior is not 100% safe, after all, other players may also run into the dungeon while you are not there to play two, and then it is often such a coincidence that artifacts and hallows drop at that time. Therefore, the two artifact holy weapons that Lacey and Awakening are responsible for may not be 100% available.

But. With the two weapons that Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan got here, it was enough to be used as bait. After all, Asura's royal tool is also a weapon, so it is obviously more cost-effective for him to devour weapons-type artifacts and holy weapons.

"Make magic golems? It's a lot of fun. New professional ......," Resto chinned and laughed, "You say, it would be cool if you could make a magic Gundam or something and then the player could go in and control it." Or it can be combined......"

"It's too middle two." Xia Chiyu said simply, "Then, let's get here here for the time being, I'm tired of getting this thing." Go offline, eat, and rest. ”

"I feel like we'll be quite idle recently," after going offline, Gu Qinyan took off his game helmet and said lightly, "Whether it's Laddy's side or these two guys brushing artifacts, I'm afraid it will take a while to get results." ”

"Indeed." Xia Chiyu said with a flat face, "We should think about what we should do during this time." ”

"Uh-huh, don't forget to leave for the race this Friday." Lin Qianxue reminded on the side.

"Oh, hell, I forgot about this stubble!" Su Xing patted his head and scolded, "We're going to leave this Friday!" There are only two days left, and I still haven't packed my things yet! What should I bring with me on the road? Anyway, do we take a plane or a high-speed rail......"

However, when the day of departure came, I woke up and found out why Xu Shuo was so "poor". When they came to the airport, they were waiting for their ...... is a private jet.

"And the money is used for this!" Su Xing yelled at Xu Shuo angrily, "I can't see the necessity of this thing at all!" Anyway, how much does this thing cost, even if the technology is developed now, how can it cost tens of millions!? ”

"Heck, it's important for someone like me to travel a lot." Xu Shuo said with a smile, "Actually, it didn't cost much, someone sponsored it, and the company paid some of the money itself, anyway, ......"

"Anyway, it can be seen that a little bit of money can still afford it, after all, it is a world-renowned e-sports company, and the aura of a private jet still has to have, right?" Xia Chiyu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes! Anyway, carrying the team competing for the championship and runner-up, how can there be a private jet to be bold enough! Or eat fish to understand the market! Xu Shuo patted Xia Chiyu's shoulder and smiled, "Anyway, go up!" ”

Xia Chiyu is actually taking a plane for the first time, and he generally doesn't trust this kind of transportation that has nowhere to escape after an accident. Although people say that the probability of a plane crash is much smaller than that of a car accident, once it happens to oneself, the probability of how small it is is is also 100%.

"Hey, it's actually a private jet, this is the first time I've been on it." Lin Qianxue looked at the private jet parked in front of her and said with some curiosity, since these girls are also investors, they can also come with them this time.

"Qianxue's family is so rich, is it the first time to take a private jet?" Xia Chiyu asked curiously.

"yes. Although my family is a private company, I don't waste money on this kind of thing. Lin Qianxue pouted and said, "And in fact, when it comes to starting a company, most of the assets are non-discretionary assets in many cases, so in fact, I am not as rich as you think, and my income may not be as good as the CEO of some large companies." ”

Saying that, Lin Qianxue threw a wink at Xia Chiyu and smiled: "However, there are many people who invited me to sit, but unfortunately I didn't think about it in the end." Because compared to those guys with sperm brains, AO is more in line with my appetite. ”

"Let's go. Eat the fish, let's board first. Zhang Zinuo had already dragged Xia Chiyu onto the plane at this time.

Still, considering it's a private jet, it obviously feels pretty good. However, since the competition was in China, it didn't take long to arrive at the destination.

They departed in the afternoon and arrived in the evening, and a special car picked them up when they got off the plane and went directly to the hotel where the competition members were staying. When they got out of the car, they could see that other race members were also being picked up by the car to the hotel. However, the competition team obviously did not come up with any big money. Just very ordinary budget guesthouse.

Every two players are crammed into a small double room, and there are no somatosensory games in the hotel.

However, Xia Chiyu and others are officially participating in the competition for the first time, so there is nothing to complain about.

"Tsk. It's really unpleasant, and I have to take the game on the device myself. Su woke up and said angrily, picked up his game helmet and put it on. Xia Chiyu was still slightly relieved that he was in the same room as this guy.

As a matter of fact. Although Su Xing is a bit of a second-minded person, at least it is not as dull as Reis and Gu Qinyan, and it is difficult for these two people to understand many of his "deep" words without understanding a single language. The other had no interest in most of his topics.

"Be content, at least there is a basic supply of internet and hot water and electricity." Xia Chiyu said lazily, and then sighed: "Alas, I have begun to miss the days when I lived in Qianxue Villa. ”

"Well, actually...... The training room apartment is nice and comfortable, and the main thing is that I can make it sloppy and cozy......" Wake said, shrugging his shoulders, "You know, it's like home." ”

"Okay, less nonsense, adjust the machine qì and get ready to go online, warm up tonight and officially participate in the competition tomorrow, this competition, before the championship comes, is a round system, there is no second chance." Xia Chiyu snorted coldly and said.

"But isn't it true that the people who come here don't have any big names? Originally, with such a small bonus and living in such a dilapidated hotel, how could those big-name professional players come to this place......" Su Xing muttered beside him.

"That's not what Zi Nuo and Qian Xue said," Xia Chiyu shook his head and said, "They sorted out the information and found that there was a player with quite good strength, who seemed to be a player called Big Bone." ”

Su Xing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Large bone ...... I've heard the name before, on an esports streaming site. He seems to be a first-line professional gamer of AO. How can it be...... Run to participate in this boring race. ”

"Because they're natives of Dongchang City, stupid." Xia Chiyu said angrily, "And the two teammates brought by the family are all soy sauce, and the last 10,000 yuan championship prize must be his share." Go out and take a twenty-minute drive, and you can easily get a prize of five or six thousand after two days of competition, are you happy to exchange for you? ”

"That's right...... But if there's only one person, I feel like we still have a show, right? Su Xing said, put on the helmet, Xia Chiyu just replied: "It's not easy to say." He was taken to the virtual world by the game helmet.

After they landed on the competition uniform, Gu Qinyan, Reis, Lin Qianxue and others also landed on the competition uniform one after another.

"Well, as you know, it's going to be tomorrow." Xu Shuo said with a smile, then paused deliberately, then he folded his hands and smiled leisurely: "Then, don't practice too late, I'll sleep first." ”

"At this time, you shouldn't say that you will sleep first, right!?" Su Xing pointed at Xu Shuo and said angrily.

"yes, isn't there anything a coach should remind the players?" Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly and said, "I originally thought that you were hanging most of the time, and you should be a little stricter at critical moments, could it be that I thought too much?" ”

"Gee, that's a nasty thing to say." Xu Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "I have already told you those beautiful little girls what I want to say, and I won't hide it from you." I haven't had a good night's sleep since I got off the plane last night. So...... I'm sorry for you, I'm going to take a break so I can show you my coaching style when I play tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Xu Shuo went offline. Lin Qianxue took a step forward and began to explain: "Generally speaking, most of the players this time are just slightly famous players on some local servers. They haven't had much contact with the uniforms, so they certainly can't get used to the rhythm of the uniforms, and most of them don't need to worry too much, except for a few teams. ”

"The first one is what I told you before, the local player 'Big Bone'." Zhang Zinuo put on a pair of glasses at this time. Although it is a little out of tune with the oriental lady's dress she transformed, it is still very beautiful, "He himself is also a relatively famous first-line player, although he has not rushed out of Huaxia to advance to the World Series in official international competitions, but he has played finals abroad in some small competitions, and has also had good results, and should be regarded as a world-class player." ”

"Hmm, but he's just one person after all, and the three of us should be able to kill him as soon as possible." Gu Qinyan shrugged his shoulders and said. "Are there any other more dangerous opponents in this fight?"

Zhang Zinuo flipped through the information of the players on the list and said: "The others, there are not too many threats. However, there are a few groups of unknown information, most of whom are newcomers to the team like you, probably with the same purpose in mind. Just in case. I'd better tell you about their groups and lists. ”

"Brother, are you nervous?" While Xia Chiyu and the four of them were discussing tactics and corresponding responses, Li Feifei asked curiously next to Xia Chiyu.

"One thing, after all, it's my first time racing. I want to get good grades, too. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, I trust my brother." Li Feifei said with a smile, "At least my brother won't play a substandard game." ”

"That's right." Xia Chiyu reluctantly smiled and said, whether online or offline, as long as he enters the game and starts a war, he will not fight a sub-level battle, and if he really loses, it will be inferior to others.

Thinking like this, Xia Chiyu felt a lot more relaxed.

"As for tactics, let's put it like this," Xia Chiyu explained, "One of the four of us is responsible for the first battle in the peripheral auditions, and the main role is to prevent the other three from leaking skill information. ”

"This shouldn't be difficult, most players usually rely on the level and equipment of the official service. With the support of high speed, you can play so elegantly and gorgeously, and when it comes to the uniform, it will be the same as we were at that time. Lacey smiled bitterly and said, "All kinds of combo mistakes, all kinds of can't maximize damage." ”

Not being able to maximize damage is another fatal disadvantage of only having contact with players on the official server, because the damage of the game server is relatively low, and the player's HP is relatively high, so you can play more damage before the protection mechanism comes out. If you fight with combos from the official server, you may have to take the enemy away four or five times in a row, but if you are used to the combo damage of the game suit, you only need two or three sets of combos.

"This daunting task is up to you." Xia Chiyu said and patted Gu Qinyan's shoulder.

"I think we should vote on it." Gu Qinyan frowned and said, "I'm still waiting to fight those powerful guys, according to your plan, it should be the three of you who will appear when you reach the finals, right?" ”

"Not bad, but you're not going to show your domain skills in this tournament anyway, are you?" Xia Chiyu asked with a smile, Gu Qinyan nodded, and then Xia Chiyu continued: "So, the three of us didn't plan to do so, so why do we have an advantage in the finals?" Although it is a small competition, as a debut battle, it is still necessary to try to get a good result. ”

"Tsk......" Gu Qin said unhappily, but obviously acquiesced.

At this time, Lin Qianxue yawned and said, "I can't do it, go to sleep first." Don't be too late for you boys, tomorrow your game is 10 o'clock in the morning, if you don't have energy, it will affect the game, right? ”

"Me too, go to bed first." Zhang Zinuo also got up and said, and then the girls went offline one after another, only Xia Chiyu and the four of them were still discussing combat skills in the competition uniform, and at the same time re-skilled their skills.

The next morning, the game officially began, and they arrived at the players' waiting room at nine o'clock to prepare for the game. This time, the offline game needs to be logged in the public game warehouse to facilitate the live broadcast of the game, so the players should stay in this waiting room before going on the field.

"Yo. Guy smash! Xu Shuo greeted the four of them with a smile, and then he was stunned, "How do you seem to ...... Most of them are not in good spirits? Have you had breakfast? ”

"Eat a hairy ......," Su Xing said with a pale face, "I have breakfast in the morning, and I have to eat tuba from time to time within three hours, how to eat...... And I didn't sleep all night last night. The guy who eats fish sleeps like a pig. ”

"I don't need you to play in the previous game, what are you nervous about." Xia Chiyu frowned and said.

"It's hard to say, if it's my turn, it's just a game that I can only win and can't lose......" Su Xing said, clutching his stomach, "I hate being at the bottom." And it's the bottom ...... in this kind of BO1 competition."

Their strategy is that Gu Qinyan will play first to deal with most of the teams, of course, Gu Qinyan will definitely not be able to do 1v3 for every team, so in case, the second one will be Lacey, and the third will be the awakening, which is also the bottom. And Xia Chiyu is relatively rare because he can use all kinds of spells, so he will not be sent until the finals.

There are many participants in this competition, and because it is an offline competition, it is convenient for the live broadcast to conduct the competition one by one. But at the same time, we can't let the game drag on for too long, so we can only adopt the BO1 style of play.

The organizers of the tournament also know that in fact, most players are here to win a lottery, and the audience wants to see it. It's just a duel between the masters in the final finals. To put it bluntly, the big bone is the only gimmick in this game.

There are only two players who want to see the game, the first is that they hope that Big Bone can win easily, and the second is that they hope that Big Bone can be planted under an unknown player and cause an upset. That's all.

Soon, it was their team's turn to play. Speed Esports is also a relatively well-known e-sports company, and they have also received a little bit of attention. However, it is limited to "the newly formed domestic AO professional team, and we will pay attention to them". Because speed e-sports has not achieved good results in the AO project, not even foreign AO teams.

The best result of Speed Esports in the official world series of AO is only the top eight.

When Xia Chiyu and others came on the field, Gu Qinyan's expression was indeed eye-catching, but there was nothing outstanding. The anchor's evaluation of them is only "worthy of a professional esports team". Because they only show the basic level that a professional team should have, it is natural that they are better than those amateur players.

Things went according to plan, most of the teams Gu Qinyan could be 1v3, and occasionally there was one player left, and Lacey could easily solve it. If you keep winning, you only need to play four games to advance to the finals.

However, when the fourth game, the eight-in-four match, came, they faced the first threat of the tournament. The opponent is from the well-known domestic team "L.S." The new team is also full of professional players, and it is said that because the age of the active competition team is gradually getting older, a group of 16-year-old young people have been trained.

In fact, there is also a saying about the age of service in the esports category, because it is said that the reaction will start to decline after the age of 25, but in fact, there are many scientific verifications that this statement is pure fart. The response changes according to each person's individual condition, that is, the reflex nerve, and there are people who are slower in young people and those who are also more responsive in older people.

"There's a bunch of uncles on the other side." Before entering the "landing warehouse" dedicated to the login game, Xia Chiyu heard L.S.'s children smirking over there: "Yes, everyone who is about to enter the grave." Later, we will just rely on the reaction time to crush the other party, anyway, in terms of basic skills, we will definitely have no problem. ”

In fact, Xia Chiyu didn't care about this kind of provocation, but Gu Qinyan jumped up suddenly when he heard the green tendons in his forehead, he gritted his teeth and smiled: "You don't have to play in this game, I'll teach these juniors, what does the uncle have that young people don't have." (To be continued......)
