Chapter 1145: A Calm Opening

More than 1,000 dragon boats, going hand in hand. Hula, immediately rushed forward at the same time. How spectacular and spectacular that scene was. If you look at it from a distance, it is as if there is a sudden extra wave on the Yangtze River, surging forward.

These more than 1,000 dragon boats are naturally like qualifiers, with all kinds of things. If you look closely, you will find that at least one-third of the materials are made of wood, and even less are made of metal, about a quarter. And the other third is mixed materials, both metal and wood. The rest is the strange materials such as marshmallow back to the pot meat and 100-year aging.

After all, this is a dragon boat race, and traditional dragon boat materials must be dominant. And equipping magic weapons or something to make dragon boats is more reliable than cooking and brewing...... Of course, there are still many masters in the game, and they have entered the finals with these food and drink. But how it will perform in the end, it's hard to say.

In fact, the dragon boats that entered the finals have some things in common in some aspects. For example, their shapes are almost the same, and how can they also present a streamlined shape as a whole. After all, only in this way can the speed of the dragon boat be maximized. If it's a round barrel-like dragon boat, if you want to make it to the finals, it will be quite difficult......

More than 1,000 dragon boats were launched at the same time, and the scene immediately became lively. The NPC spectators in the stands on both sides shouted in unison, gongs and drums were noisy, and firecrackers rang out in unison...... That's right, there are also NPCs that set off firecrackers!

In the sky over the Yangtze River, except for the areas that cannot be approached by the game, they are densely packed with flying players. How expensive it is to watch live broadcasts! It's better to come to the scene to see, you don't have to spend money, and you can feel the atmosphere of the scene! Of course, while watching the live broadcast, people are also fighting monsters, and they also have income, but in fact, they don't suffer much loss in terms of money. How to choose, it is also a matter of opinion.

Lin Musen at the beginning. And did not grab the position of the first group. There are more than 1,000 dragon boats, although the river is wide enough, and it can be said that they have their own routes at the start, but at the beginning of the race, most of the dragon boats involuntarily went towards the center, and finally squeezed into a ball. At this time, rushing up, it is self-inflicted...... Yes, please refer to the real world of racing, which is similar to the current situation.

As for Lin Musen, the starting position is more sideways. The game begins. Seeing that the thousands of boats were surging towards the middle, he immediately made a wise decision not to rob them! Lao Tzu slipped around, right?

So Lin Musen's Amber Stone quietly slipped forward slowly from the side......

But it has to be said that there is always an advantage to sailing in the center. The water surface is wide, and there is a lot of room for maneuvering. When you find various traps, you also have more time and space to dodge. Therefore, at the beginning, the leading ones were the dragon boats that sailed in the center and occupied the starting advantage.

"Take a look! First place goes to the dragon boat of the Gang of War! I'll just say it. The dragon boats of the big gang are definitely better than those that are mixed together! Hurry up and buy the first place in the war! ”

"Don't worry, wait first. Isn't the dragon boat slow if you don't look at the myth behind it? And the mythical dragon boat should be stronger than the war, maybe it will come from behind! ”

"yes, it's just the beginning. Don't rush to place your bets. Anyway, the first half of the journey plus the rest time can be used to bet, so why throw the money out so early? Who knows if a dark horse will pop up? Caution is paramount! ”

This kind of dialogue will pop up from time to time among the audience players. That's right, it's the era of big bets. Almost everyone is paying attention to the dragon boat race. That's right, it's the whole people, not just the audience. Contestants of the competition. You can also bet, but the players don't have that leisure right now.

What is the break after the halfway point of the race for? It is to give the audience and the players enough time to analyze. A break will allow all the boats to lock in position and status, and then the riders can rest. Return to the dragon boat before the start of the second half of the race and continue the race. During this break, in addition to studying tactics and opponents, you can also study how to place bets!

All in all, the Weaver Girl is determined to turn this event into a large-scale event to recycle game currency. If the player has moderation, it's okay and won't hurt the bones. But players who are crazy about putting all their net worth on it and expect to get rich overnight will cry or laugh when the time comes, only they know......

These are all episodes, and the feature film is still a competition. As the game time gradually passed, the echelon of players gradually opened up.

Half of them were pulled far behind by the players in front. Most of these dragon boats have strange shapes and strange operations. was able to enter the finals, and most of them were not the first place, but they were squeezed in with the fourth and fifth place positions. It is estimated that they are the most surprised to enter the finals. And if there is another act in the finals, this thing is really a bit wishful thinking, unless the dragon boats in front of them are all dead in various traps......

Of course, it's unrealistic to say that they don't have any ideas in their minds, who doesn't come to compete for a good place? But the reality was cruel, and they fell into the last echelon shortly after the start of the game. Presumably, with their speed, there is no way to catch up with the players in front of them. Now their biggest role is to be used as an embellishment, as an embellishment to add color and fun to this game......

"Wife, wife, do you see it, there's a dragon boat like a rose over there!"

"See! I guess the dragon boat was made by a man for her wife, alas, it's so beautiful......"

"Wife...... You wait, when my skill level is high, I will make roses for you next time! Of course, it can't be a dragon boat, but how about you make something else and make a few beautiful jewelry? ”

"Hmmm! Husband, you're so nice! ”

This is the couple's version, and of course the foodie version, the art version, and the non-mainstream version...... Not all players are now focused on the first group of you and me, and many players still watch the game with a casual attitude...... Until the end of the first half of the race.

Lin Musen naturally doesn't care what the onlookers are watching, and now they are trying to quietly improve their rankings unobtrusively! He is now in the first group, but this is a competition of thousands of dragon boats, and the first group has at least a hundred dragon boats. Although there are fronts and backs, they are all in the situation of having a chance to surpass the players in front of them, so they naturally chase after each other and do not pay too much attention to the others around them...... If there is no direct threat.

And Lin Musen's Amber Stone is now in the position of about forty or fifty.

This location. It's already quite dangerous to say, and it's not so easy to grab the first place. But the game has just begun, and everyone has only crossed a bunch of whirlpools...... There are pitfalls in this kind of qualifying, and it is natural that these players who can make it to the first group in the final will not pose much of a threat.

However, in the finals, various forms appeared much earlier. From now on, there are already all kinds of red and blue mixed states on the river, waiting for players to go and eat them. And these states don't disappear after eating, and they will come back after a while. This time is very short. Enough for all players in the first group to eat the buff...... Otherwise, the top few players will eat all the state, and the players behind can only eat ashes? That's just so unfair.

However, the position of the re-brushed state is not necessarily in the original position, but randomly within a certain range. In this way, it also increases the difficulty for the people behind it, but it also gives more people a chance...... Some people are pushed to the edge because they can't help it, and if they don't have the slightest chance to eat the state, they won't be given the slightest chance to eat. Isn't it too much?

As a result, it is also very likely that these players will unexpectedly get an acceleration that falls from the sky or something, and then be brave and rush forward. Passed over several competitors.

Therefore, this dragon boat race is not only about the attributes of the dragon boat, but also the operation of the operator. And luck!

Of course, the luck factor is minimized, but it is definitely not impossible!

Lin Musen has always been confident in his luck. What's more, there is still a fruit on the dragon boat now, and this luck is decisively off the table. So even if I hid on the edge, I still ate several states that fell from the sky. Either to speed up, or to slow down other dragon boats within range, or to directly bounce the approaching dragon boats away...... It didn't take a while for Lin Musen's ranking to rise to about thirty!

By this position, there is already enough threat to the first place. The first thirty or forty dragon boats were biting each other very tightly, and the first place was also constantly rotating. At least for now, it's hard to see who has the best chance of finishing first.

Among these thirty or forty dragon boats, Lin Musen saw a lot of acquaintances.

The world is attacking and suffering from the two dragon boats, one dragon boat is controlled by the first general under Moon Shadow, a player called Linglong Heart, and the operator of the other one Lin Musen does not know, but one of the crew members is Hua Mei Tang......

But now, none of them recognized him. Lin Musen's face is not ugly to say, but in the game of this handsome guy and beautiful woman running around the street, it looks a little less conspicuous. Coupled with the fact that there is no iconic Qingyun Iron Winged Peng, if you want to recognize him, you really need to observe him carefully. But now everyone's attention is scrambling to race the dragon boat, who is idle and observes the opponents around them?

Belch...... There is indeed a person who is idle and has nothing to do, so it is naturally Lin Musen. In fact, if he is a little more high-profile and strives for the top few, he should be recognized soon. But now he is slipping forward with a thief's head and brain, and from time to time he hides behind a relatively large dragon boat, which ghost will recognize him?

Therefore, whether it is a friend or an enemy, they have not found that the guy Songbai Wutong is mixed in the crowd.

The so-called friends and enemies, that is to say, in addition to the girls who are attacking and suffering from all kinds of things in the world, the dragon boats of Yijian Lingyun and the Battle Dragon Pavilion are also among these thirty or forty dragon boats.

The two dragon boats of One Sword Lingyun were squeezed into this first group, one was controlled by Sword Liuyun, and the other was Agni Ambition. And Lin Musen, the controller of the War Dragon Pavilion, didn't know him, in fact, he basically didn't know any people with faces in the War Dragon Pavilion. But the dragon boat of the Dragon Pavilion is too individual, the dragon boat itself is made into the image of a dragon being tied under the boat, and a big flag has been erected on the dragon boat, and the three big characters of the War Dragon Pavilion are written on it, and I can't recognize it, so it's really hell.

In addition, the dragon boat of the Qiankun Temple was simply led by the sword of heaven and earth, and it also rushed to a very high position...... 3rd place! However, judging from the expression of the Heaven and Earth Sword, they must still have the strength to spare, but they will not use it at this time. Is this final just a little bit overdue? If you put it so early, what will you do later?

The rafters that come out, whoever loves to do it, who does it. I don't do it anyway!

The current first place is a dragon boat made by a little-known player. I have to say that this dragon boat is really good, and the strength of the operator can be regarded as passing. However, it can be said that it is quite unwise to be in the first place so early. It's also possible that they didn't think they could win the first place at all, and now they actually occupy this position, although it is temporary, but they can also shine! Even if the fireworks are easy to get cold, they have bloomed after all!

When you review the video with others in the future, you can also proudly look at this paragraph and tell others. Look, I'm the one who did the first thing after all!

And they seem to want to maintain this first for a longer time, so they don't have the idea of keeping quiet for the time being, but try their best to distance themselves from the dragon boat behind...... If you can get rid of everyone behind you, maybe you can maintain the first place to the end!

Of course, they didn't believe in this wishful thinking. Because obviously, they couldn't get rid of those dragon boats behind them at all. Although the dragon boat behind did not intend to compete for the first place at this time, it had no idea of being thrown off at all. Everyone was thinking about it at the last minute. Rush forward and shake the others off. But to achieve this, the disadvantages in the early stage must not be too great!

Now the first echelon is in a strange balance. Each dragon boat is competing with other dragon boats. But no one dares to be too far ahead of everyone else at once. The first place position seems to be very solid now, but the second to tenth positions are more blurred, and in many cases there is no obvious advantage or disadvantage at all. The competition in the back is more intense, until about fifty. There is the possibility of rushing forward with one effort.

And now, the water is not as wide as the beginning. Now there are dozens of dragon boats running on the surface at the same time, without interfering with each other. After all, it is impossible to have thousands of dragon boats go hand in hand all the time, even if it is a long-distance race. In the end, all that is needed is one or two tracks. In addition, the Yangtze River track in this game is not a straight line, there are always some bends, so it's more fair for everyone to try to lean together!

Of course, the biggest reason is to increase the intensity of the game...... If the water surface has always been so wide, it is really a simple comparison of the performance of the dragon boat and the reaction of the operator, and other tactics cannot be used...... Can I just paddle forward? What are the traps I can just bypass? It doesn't matter what about the others, the water is so wide anyway!

If that were the case, the game would be too boring. So it's not surprising that the track has become narrow.

And the forty or fifty dragon boats of the first group are almost all gathered together now. No one wants to get too close to the edge, after all, when there is a trap, it will be more difficult for a dragon boat to dodge near the edge. But don't dare to huddle too much, what if there is some trap that pulls the dragon boats together, collides with each other and finally annihilates the whole army?

The first group was wiped out, and the second group became the first? This kind of instant report with a headline would be extremely interesting to think about, right? Of course, if the protagonist who is completely wiped out in it is not himself......

Therefore, now the first group presents a formation that is both congregated and dispersed. There is not much difference between them, and they seem to be peaceful but wary of each other. I believe that everyone has the same idea in their hearts, and if a complicated obstacle emerges now, maybe the contradiction will explode immediately!

Then the obstacle of the first complex point, immediately appeared.

Waterfall! It's actually a waterfall!

This is so unscientific! I haven't heard that there is a waterfall in this section of the Yangtze River! But this is a game, so there are a lot of things that don't need to be delved into......

The waterfall is not too high, with a drop of only a few tens of meters. It can be dangerous in reality, but in the game, this waterfall is not a big deal. The performance of the dragon boat in the game is bound to be much higher than in reality, and there should be no damage when crossing the waterfall. As for the capsized, not to mention, the operator who does not enter the stream will not be able to get the first place even if there is no waterfall.

However, this waterfall is not simply straight up and down. In the interior of the waterfall, there are quite a few large protruding stones. The shape of the waterhole below the waterfall is also very irregular, and if you don't fall into a good spot, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn around, and if you're not careful, you'll be thrown out of the first group!

Of course, the first group has not yet reached the waterfall, and it stands to reason that it should not be visible at all. However, the Weaver Girl made a sign with illusion on the water in front of her, indicating how many meters in front of her there was a waterfall, and showing the positive image of the waterfall!

Well, this is a Xianxia game, and who can say that Weaver Girl is not doing it right...... In the game, the dangers that can be seen can be avoided, and the dangers that cannot be seen can't always leave the player ignorant, right? Even if it is a giant fish in the qualifying round, there is a huge shadow to pave the way. You don't see it, so who is to blame?

However, there is such a thing as a waterfall, which is completely invisible upstream, and can only be heard with a little noise. If the waterfall is straight up and down, it doesn't matter, but there are a lot of obstacles placed on it. If you don't give a hint, this is a bit too much, and it is completely a rush for pit players.

So the Weaver Girl kindly reminded the contestants and gave them the opportunity to prepare in advance. In the face of this huge waterfall, the mood of the players on each dragon boat is different.

"Chance!" This is the first thought on the minds of most players.

"Jiao, cheat daddy, right?" This was the second thought that came to mind.

Such contradictory ideas are not very strange, after all, this waterfall seems to have a lot of dangers, and it is very likely to break the current deadlock of the first group. But the question is, whether you can survive this crisis is also a question! (To be continued......)
