Chapter 183: Novice Duel
After supper, the four of them went online in their game suits. Xu Shuo, Lin Qianxue, and Zhang Zinuo were accompanied by the three of them to watch the game at the selection of the chief. The four of them came to the training room, and then Xu Shuo chose to line up alone, and soon Xia Chiyu showed the words "successful pairing" in front of the four of them and began to change the arena.
"I know you've had a lot of 1v1 experience, but I haven't seen you play team battles like 2v2 and 3v3 yet." Xu Shuo smiled in the audience and clapped his hands, "So, this battle mode is tentatively set for two 2v2." As for how to distribute the teams, the four of you can decide for yourself. β
Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the three of them, obviously a little hesitant.
"Eat fish, let's team up, it must be very good!" Su Xing immediately came up and hugged Xia Chiyu's shoulders and smiled, but C Β± book C Β± Ba, Aβ‘nsβ Xia Chiyu slapped Su Xing's hand without hesitation: "Are you teasing me?" It's a lot of pain to fight two rangers, and it's about the same for two melee combat. No matter how you think about it, the standard configuration is also one melee and one range, right? β
"Then I'm going to team up with Lacey!" Su Xing immediately turned to put his arm around Lacey's shoulders and smiled.
"Whatever, then I'll be on a team with the second middle school swordsman." Xia Chiyu said lightly, turned to Gu Qinyan and asked, "No problem, right?" β
"I'm fine." Gu Qinyan replied with a flat face, "That's it." β
Lacey nodded, no comment. So Xu Shuo clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, then let's use this team to play two 2v2 games." So which of you teams will go first? β
"Let's go first." Xia Chiyu looked very calm, Gu Qinyan just nodded, and the two walked into the ring together.
The two opposite sides also went to the ring separately, a man and a woman, two players, a male knight and a female mage, the most popular combination of gold balm at the moment. The male knight is called Grundy, and the female mage is named Liv, and the equipment is sword and shield knight and fire magic.
"Is there a plan?" Gu Qinyan crossed his waist and observed the other party, and the two asked.
"Generally speaking, you must be dealing with the mage. But that knight won't let you get it. Xia Chiyu whispered, "So the plan is that you stick to the mage with all your might, if the knight comes to deal with me, we will use the exchange mage's playing style, and if the knight stops you, I will find a way to stop him." As for turning fire halfway, let's see the opportunity to do it yourself. β
Gu Qinyan nodded, and then the arena map began to be randomly selected on the field.
"I feel that these two people should be fine, eating fish and Xiao Gu are both relatively calm types." Lin Qianxue muttered to herself in the stands, "And Xiao Gu's PVP is also quite powerful." β
"It's hard to say." Xu Shuo replied with a smile. "Under the influence of today's national server game atmosphere, the level of the national service is generally one grade lower than that of the foreign server. Boosting this thing, although it seems to be a trivial matter, but in fact? β
"You can say that you have already played a number but are too lazy to practice again, or you can say that you want to wait until the level is higher and the skills are more familiar with it, you can say whatever you want. But what about the impact? You'll have one less process than others to become proficient in your role, and you may be able to find out which of your skills is a little flawed and doesn't match the others. β
Lin Qianxue defended: "But the four of them didn't train to eat fish, it's okay, right?" β
Xu Shuo smiled and said, "So." This is the influence of the game environment. Think about it, isn't it relatively easy to stand out from a group of players with a low level of grassroots? And then filter it up, isn't the players at each level a notch lower than the players on the outer server? This is why it is difficult for the national server to have a team of players in the country. β
Speaking of which. You seem to be the only Chinese in your team, right? Zhang Zinuo said suddenly.
"Yes, my four teammates, one is Korean and one is American. One is Belgian and the other is Russian. Xu Shuo hugged his arms and said, "So." I would love to build a strong team with a lot of Chinese players. β
"To prove to the world that the players of the national server are not inferior?" Lin Qianxue raised her eyebrows and said curiously, Xu Shuo immediately smiled when she heard this: "It's not that noble, it's just that I can't do it myself, I hope someone can do it." Because of the game environment, the national server players are indeed inferior to the foreign server, although this is not the fault of domestic players. β
Zhang Zinuo sighed and said, "Alas, then do you think they can win?" β
"It's hard." Xu Shuo said with a smile, "Actually, although the opposite team is newly formed, the four members of the other side are actually selected from the official members who have participated in the competition, and they are not real novices. β
"But didn't you say ...... before" Lin Qianxue's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and Xu Shuo hurriedly raised her index finger and shouted: "That's so that they can work harder after losing, it's the coach's good intentions." β
"What are you...... me! Li Feifei didn't seem to think of any words to describe it, so she had to say, "It's not fair to find professional players who have played official matches to play against players like them who are in contact with competition uniforms for the first time!" β
The smile on Xu Shuo's face became fierce: "Hmph, naΓ―ve little girl. Do you think there is a fair game in this world? Some people just have a natural quick reaction, have extraordinary strategies, have cheating physical fitness, as long as it is a competitive event, there is no fairness. So, let's be honest, little girl. β
Li Feifei muttered something angrily, and began to watch the game silently.
"Eat fish, come on......" Zhang Zinuo clasped his hands together and said with some concern. Lin Qianxue also looked a little uneasy, biting her nails and looking at the situation on the field nervously. But Xia Chiyu and the four of them didn't know the inside story.
The map on the field was quickly determined, and it was a relatively basic map, the Death Pothole. This map is characterized by the absence of pillars, instead there are two ramps at the entrance, which can be used for card viewing and dodging attacks. Its strategic use is that flying directly up is likely to be ambushed by the enemy and hit by a pre-prepared skill.
But if you don't fly up, you can only go up by making a half-circle from the side path, which is a waste of time, and you will be kited by the enemy. How to use this terrain to avoid damage and attack is up to the player. Xia Chiyu looked at the terrain and secretly remembered it in his heart, and then nodded to Gu Qinyan, who nodded quietly in response.
Soon, the words "5 seconds countdown" appeared in front of the four people. Xia Chiyu couldn't help but notice that the expressions of Grundy and Liv on the opposite side looked relaxed, and they didn't seem to take this game seriously.
"That's a bit annoying." Xia Chiyu said with a smile, at this time, the countdown had already counted to 2.
At the end of the countdown and the official start of the game, Gu Qinyan immediately started his frenzy, and a wind movement disappeared on the field.
"Oh? It's interesting how the trail moves. Glandi suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, the blood-colored whirlwind left by Gu Qinyan dissipated, and there was silence on the field. Immediately, Glandi stared at Xia Chiyu and said, "But." Didn't you send your own mage to me? Then you're welcome! β
As he spoke, Grundy strode towards Xia Chiyu. Grundi is a Sword and Shield Knight, which is a medium shield with a rapier. This kind of knight can basically be regarded as a swordsman, but the speed is slightly slower than the swordsman, and the attack is slightly lower, but the defense and the ability to cover teammates are greatly better than the swordsman, and the comprehensive ability is stronger but more defensive, which is more common in 2v2.
However, the fire method is relatively rare. Because the fire method has no ability to control zhì, and the attack power is extremely high, playing 2v2 will generally be paired with a high-explosive class, and directly choose to forcibly explode the opponent quickly.
Xia Chiyu noticed. Grandi, like Xu Shuo, did not blindly rely on skills such as teleportation to close the distance, but first moved to a certain range and instantaneously flashed at the shortest possible distance to reduce the opponent's reaction time. Therefore, Xia Chiyu was careful to be on guard. Really. When Grandi was about five meters away from Xia Chiyu, a star suddenly rushed up.
"Arc Slash!" Grundi whispered, and the sword swung with a flash of momentum. An arc of light swept towards Xia Chiyu.
This is another way to deal with the slowdown of skills like Instant Flash on the match server, combining skills like Instant with attacks to eliminate the stun caused by the agility reduction and skill release reduction.
But Grandi's slash swept directly past Xia Chiyu, which was just a phantom.
"Huh? Scapegoat? Or is it an illusion ......" Grandi frowned, at this time a meteorite fell on his head, Grandi raised his shield, and a circle of light spread out from his shield, deflecting the falling meteorite, and the meteorite exploded around him, but the flames were blocked by his shield and scattered to both sides, and he did not deduct much health.
"You see, that's how it is in the official competition, everyone is looking for safety." Xu Shuo said with a smile, "Skills like Perfect Defense can't be used to reduce damage, because once you make a mistake, it can be fatal, so you will use this kind of skill that reduces damage 100%, although it can't be completely avoided, but there is no risk." β
"What's the use of you telling us here! You should have taught them these things before the game! Li Feifei said angrily, while Xu Shuo was still smiling: "They also understand these themselves." β
On the field, after Xia Chiyu's shadow dissipated, he still came to the top of the slope. He did not hesitate to risk using the stand-in skill in the first place, just to get to this slope quickly. In contrast, the swordsman's attack power is definitely higher than that of the sword and shield knight, and he is also confident in his own ability, not to mention that the other party is still a fire mage, and he has no control skills.
Between this, Xia Chiyu thought that if he wanted to swap mages, he would definitely survive, not to mention that now he had occupied a favorable position. And Gu Qinyan had already used the speed advantage of madness to come to the opponent's fire method.
"What an anxious man." Liv grumbled, raising her staff lightly and waving it lightly, a circle of flames spreading out in front of her. Gu Qinyan crossed his two swords and split them, the flames were suddenly split, and Gu Qinyan continued to step forward. Seeing this, Liv was also very simple, and let Gu Qinyan's double swords pierce her chest.
"Did you just alternate bodies......" Gu Qinyan frowned and said to himself, looking back at the slope behind him.
But Liv did not return to the ramp at the back with a stand-in, but moved forward to the first half where Xia Chiyu was, with her back to her. At this time, Xia Chiyu just used his stand-in to come to the slope, Liv raised her staff and smashed it down, two meteorites fell on the slope where Xia Chiyu was, and Grundy jumped to the platform and rushed over.
"We still have a little less magic weapon...... Xia Chiyu sighed slightly, raised his staff and threw out two ice arrows, canceling out the fireball, and then the staff hit the ground, and the five spirit wheels yellow and orange lit up: "Steel Gate!" β
A steel gate rose from below Xia Chiyu, blocking Grundy's path. Grundy was stunned, turned over in mid-air and raised his foot to bounce off the steel gate, and then used the star movement in mid-air to change the path of movement. rushed towards Xia Chiyu on the platform again, his movements were quite smooth, and he was completely in one go.
"It's worthy of being a professional player, it's amazing......" Zhang Zinuo covered his mouth and sighed.
"How can you increase the prestige of others? It's better to eat fish! Lin Qianxue glared at her angrily and said.
By changing his route in mid-air like this, Grundy had already come to Xia Chiyu along the way.
"Sorry for the fight ending so quickly." Grundy said, swinging his sword forward. Of course, he knew that this mage still had a mental force field and reaction time, but Liv in the rear was already preparing, as long as the mental force field was used against the mage. Then Liv will definitely use the rider skill to directly beat this mage out of a stun, and then perform a combo.
At that time, as long as he continued to play the opposing mage, and then went back to suppress the opponent's swordsman, and let his mage continue to attack the enemy mage, the battle was basically a foregone conclusion.
Xia Chiyu raised his hand, as if he was preparing to use the spiritual force field, but Grandi could see at a glance that it was too late to use the spiritual force field at this time. Because the speed of the competition suit is not fast enough, the mental force field is not immediately attacked.
Grundy was sure that he could hit the opponent before the effect of the Psychic Force Field Attack. Therefore, Grandi accelerated again in an instant, and used the arc light to slash at Xia Chiyu with a knife. However......
Grandi's long sword swept straight past Xia Chiyu's chest. The knife didn't hit.
"What!? Magic! Grandi muttered to himself in astonishment, then he thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Is it used when it is blocked by the steel gate?" This guy ...... I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly scheming. β
Xia Chiyu was waiting for this time, taking advantage of Glandi's knife to cut the air. Xia Chiyu immediately swung his staff and summoned several hideous thorns to entangle Grundy. The devil grass that Xia Chiyu deliberately used, because this devil grass would explode after being damaged by the fire attribute, so this knight could only break free on his own. He had a chance to continue attacking.
"Grundy, this devil grass will explode, I can't save you." Liv said with a relaxed expression in the back, ignoring Gu Qinyan, who had chased behind her, Gu Qinyan suddenly frowned: "The woman with no one in her eyes ......"
"Well, your mages are pretty good, although I can tell that I should be new to the uniforms." Liv pouted, and with a light swing of her staff, she summoned three pillars of fire to spin around her.
Her purpose is to prevent Gu Qinyan from approaching, because although there are only three pillars of fire, and there is a gap in the process of rotation, as long as it is touched, it will inevitably lead the player to enter the hard stun, and the average player will not choose to break hard.
However, immediately after that, Gu Qinyan's hideous face rushed through the flames, and reached out to grab Liv.
"What!?" Liv was slightly surprised, the other party's did touch his pillar of fire, but it did not enter a state of hard stun, looking at the blood-red fighting qi hovering around the other party, she suddenly suddenly thought: "Could it be...... Does this skill have a certain damage reduction effect? Damn, some of them underestimate the enemy. β
In desperation, Liv directly raised her staff to open the spiritual force field, and the flames spread around her. Gu Qinyan crossed his twin swords in front of him, and he took the blow hard, and was knocked back by the flames.
"Hmph, that's reckless. If you eat hard, you can count you as daring, and if you eat hard, you can only say that you are reckless. Liv couldn't help but sneer, Gu Qinyan's body had been ignited at this moment, and the flames were burning on him.
Compared with the freezing of the ice method and the paralysis of the thunder method, the effect of the fire method is ignition, which has no special effect, just a dot effect, so the damage is relatively high. The fire method generally designs some skills based on ignition, so that they can attack the ignited target to make the damage relatively high. The ignition effect is affected by high temperatures, and will only be triggered after multiple fire attacks.
Therefore, when the player fights with the fire method, he will generally not rush to stack the effect of ignition.
"Hmph, what will it be......" Gu Qinyan grinned, and set up a stabbing stance. But Liv's face didn't change, she just lightly stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers, and Gu Qinyan's body suddenly exploded.
"Did it directly consume the ignition effect on the player's body and cause an explosion? It's a good starting skill. The awakening below said thoughtfully, "If you say that, maybe I can set it like this......"
However, Gu Qinyan did not enter the hitstun, but directly turned into a blood-red dragon and rushed out of the flames, roaring at Liv and pounced. Liv raised her eyebrows, which did surprise her.
"I can't help it...... Burst Flame Accelerates! Liv shouted, her body instantly turned into a state of flames, and she accelerated to dodge Gu Qinyan's broken army, and Gu Qinyan seemed to have expected this, and the broken army stopped and immediately moved.
In this way, Liv's life-saving skills are all used, and then she can hit as long as she continues to attack. At the same time, on the other side, Xia Chiyu also just blasted Glandi down the slope with a dragon breath technique, and a circle of magic circles appeared on the ground below him, and three ice dragons spun and rose from the magic circle, pounced on Glandi, causing him to enter a state of deceleration.
At this point, Grundy couldn't go to help, but despite this, Liv still seemed unhurried.
"It's such a nasty movement trick, it's obviously useless, and it's not on my side anyway." Liv said with a flat face, and the staff struck the ground, and a circle of flames spread out from her side to her.
It's a pity that she guessed wrong again, and Gu Qinyan flashed above Grundy with a wind shift.
"Oops!" Liv's face changed at this time, and she raised her staff to aim at Gu Qinyan in the air, but Xia Chiyu's staff hit the ground, and three rays of light flashed from Liv's side, turning into a magic circle. Seeing this, Liv had to retreat and flee from the circle.
"Seven Stars Slash ......" Gu Qinyan put on a posture of drawing the sword, but this time the posture of drawing the knife was different from the past, he pressed one hand on the handle of the Taidao knife at his waist, and the other hand pressed on the hilt of the double-edged sword behind him, and with the whereabouts of Glandi, he continued to draw the sword, and the sword light flashed all the way from Glandi's body, and the two fell to the ground together. And as soon as Gu Qinyan landed, it flashed.
This time, this flash rushed towards Liv very clearly, and Liv suddenly snorted unhappily: "This distance uses instantaneousness, and it is clear that it is a novice." I didn't expect to be calculated by such a guy......"
At this time, the cooldown time of Liv's stand-in skill was already good, and she was ready to be hit directly by Gu Qinyan, and then use the stand-in skill to come to Xia Chiyu's side and directly rescue Grundy.
She was well aware that both of them were newbies and had apparently just moved from official to competitive suits, and that was evident in many places. As long as he can make sure that Grundy is not seriously injured by the two men's combo, there is still a chance.
However, after Gu Qinyan's skill just now, Xia Chiyu's next skill has already been used.
"Wind, fire, thunder...... Burning Flames! Xia Chiyu shouted, and a circle of thunderclouds gathered above Glandi's head, and then a rain of fire, thunder and lightning surrounded Glandi together. Grundy screamed, and was swirled in mid-air by the hurricane, and the flames and lightning continued to hurt him.
At this time, Gu Qinyan had also arrived in front of Liv. Liv gritted her teeth to meet it, but Gu Qinyan suddenly smiled, turned to Grundy in mid-air and posed, and reached out to press on the iron sword on her waist: "Phoenix Tour!" β
Liv was stunned, and hurriedly began to release her skills to interrupt Gu Qinyan, but after all, she was a law department, and she was not as good as the physics department in terms of instantaneous algorithms. At the moment when the dragon breath technique sprayed Gu Qinyan, the phoenix sword qi had already pounced on Grundi in mid-air, and the sharp sword qi like a whip pounced on Grundi's body and flew out with him.
And Xia Chiyu's follow-up skills also followed, hitting Glandi. After a series of skills, Grandi's health was instantly deducted by nearly two-thirds, and the situation of this battle was decided. After that, although the opponent also had a few beautiful counterattacks, in the end, with a huge advantage, it was still Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan who won the game.
"It works beautifully." Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan clapped their high-fives and smiled faintly. Gu Qinyan slapped back with an expressionless face and said calmly: "Victory is a matter of course." (To be continued......)
