On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the whole game was dressed up. Mugwort was planted in every household, and zongzi and eggs began to be sold on the streets. The rice dumplings and eggs provided by this system have a certain chance of gaining buffs after eating, but most of them are entertaining and have a relatively short duration. But for those players who don't have time to make zongzi, or don't know how to make them, it's more or less fun.

And along the Yangtze River, there are countless grandstand-like facilities. These facilities are not for players, how can players who are usually used to coming and going go go to the stands to watch the game? These stands are for NPCs!

The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by the whole people, not only for the players, but also for the NPCs. Of course, this is the official statement, and everyone knows that this is to add popularity to the dragon boat race......

With so many NPCs cheering and cheering, are players more motivated to compete? And the atmosphere is more lively, which allows players to focus more on the game. I have to say that after operating the game for a year, Weaver Girl has a deeper grasp of the psychology of players.

There are also various other measures, all in all, the atmosphere of this Dragon Boat Festival is hot. Those who are willing to participate in the dragon boat race can participate, and those who are willing to watch the excitement can watch the excitement. And if you don't want to join in the excitement, you can also go to the monster to collect zongzi leaves and glutinous rice, and use other materials to make zongzi. It is also possible to eat quest props from the zongzi, and you can also exchange a certain amount of them for rewards from NPCs...... Although the rewards in exchange may not be very rebellious, at least there is some compensation for those who are not up to par......

The preparatory activities are almost held, and the atmosphere is warm enough, so the Dragon Boat Festival activities have officially begun.

Before that, Lin Musen and the others finally made their own dragon boat.

Lin Musen they made a dragon boat. It's very Linghai flying boat style. The streamlined body has a bit of a futuristic sense of technology. However, the material is mainly wood, but it also adds an ancient style. The front of the dragon boat is carved with a dragon head, which is not to say that they are good at crafting, but that the system provides this decoration...... After all, it's a dragon boat, and multiple dragon heads or something, it's also somewhat like it.

There are not many other decorations in the middle, and the number of passengers is up to twelve. According to the design drawing, the attributes of the dragon boat are divided into several aspects, such as speed. Flexibility, durability, balance, etc. The durability of this dragon boat is average, the balance is passable, the speed is relatively good, and the flexibility is the strongest. This tendency is also strongly demanded by Lin Musen, and in his words, when the time comes, it is not necessarily the fastest to win. When the time comes, so many dragon boats will come. Squeezed together, collisions are inevitable. Although they are not allowed to attack each other, collisions are not counted in the range of attacks. In addition, there will inevitably be various obstacles along the way of the race. For example, whirlpool reefs and other things, don't they all have to be avoided by flexibility?

It is also said that there are various states of increase and decrease floating on the water, and it is inevitable to avoid evil. And when the time comes, it's up to flexibility to snatch those beneficial states. Avoid those bad states. In this way, flexibility is definitely the most important priority!

Of course, this view cannot be shared by everyone. But no one else can come up with a reason to refute it. In addition, even this group of people know that although Lin Musen is unreliable many times, his persistence at critical moments often has miracles. Since he thinks it's right, let him be.

However, it is not easy to make the attributes of a dragon boat a priority for flexibility. In addition to the drawings of the dragon boat, this also has a lot to do with the combination of materials used. Lin Musen and the others also wasted a lot of materials to build this dragon boat that met the requirements of the attributes. And the dragon boat made by others with cooking alchemy and wine...... It's very entertaining, but if it is used for competition, even the author himself is not confident.

However, the dragon boat is not unusable after a race, and it can also be used on the water to play in the future, which is not too wasteful.

"Presumably, the players who have the strength to participate in the competition now have done a good job in dragon boats. Let's let our Amber Stone shock those people! Standing in front of the dragon boat, Lin Musen seemed to have seen the scene of his victory.

"Don't rejoice too soon. Even if you operate well, if the attributes of other people's dragon boats exceed ours too much, it is estimated that your operation will not be able to make up for that huge gap! "The catkins flutter and pour cold water professionally.

Lin Musen laughed arrogantly: "How is it possible! The dragon boat built by our Linghai Flying Boat team is not as good as their random patchwork stuff? Even if it's luck, we also have a cute little sister on our side, and all kinds of aspects are crushing for them! ”

A group of people rolled their eyes, but they couldn't do anything about Lin Musen's arrogance now. After all, the race hasn't started yet, and I don't know what other people's dragon boats are like. But to say, these people are still more confident in the dragon boats they made...... With the experience of making the Linghai Flying Boat, will the dragon boat made be much worse than others?

And on the day the game officially started, they realized that they were still Too young, too simple......

It's not that their dragon boat attributes are worse than others', in fact, the dragon boat is not running, and no one knows how the dragon boat will perform. Even if you use identification, you can only see the name of the dragon boat. The most important thing is that the shape of these dragon boats is really amazing!

Lin Musen's dragon boat thought that the shape was handsome enough, and this smooth shape and advanced style would definitely be able to dominate the competition. However, they underestimate how coquettish other players are...... It can be said that some players don't want to get any good results in the competition at all, they just want to show off their unique dragon boat shape!

Some dragon boats, made like marshmallows, are piled up on the water in large balls. And if you look closely, you will find that the material used in this dragon boat seems to be really marshmallow...... There are also dragon boats, made like a big bathtub, I really don't know how fast this shape of dragon boat can be. All kinds of animal and plant shapes have been flooded, and there is no feature at all. There are also some dragon boats that are directly made into various anime shapes, making this dragon boat race just like a cosplay show!

Before the starting line of the race, all kinds of dragon boats rendered the water surface of the Yangtze River colorful and green. You know, this is dragon boat racing. I don't know, I thought this was a water park......

However, all dragon boats either have a sculpture of a dragon head on them, or are painted with dragon patterns, all in all, they have a little dragon breath. After all, it's a dragon boat, which is the most basic requirement. And the rest...... If you can float on the water, you're qualified!

“…… The creativity of the people is really endless, we are still too conservative! Lin Musen looked at the shapes of the other dragon boats, and was a little depressed.

The others were also dumbfounded. I was full of confidence to participate in the competition, but I was compared to others in the styling level. This thing is kind of a demoralizer. Although this dragon boat race is still about the race process rather than the shape, this thing always makes people feel very unhappy!

"Senior brother, you don't have to be sad, at least the future wind of our dragon boat is still relatively unique......" Guo Mengmeng tried her best to comfort Lin Musen on the side, as one of the main builders of this dragon boat, Guo Mengmeng was actually a little lost in her heart. Girls, sometimes it's more important to look at the style than the result of the competition. But looking at Lin Musen's appearance, she still felt that it was more important to comfort her senior brother.

“…… Sister. You don't have to comfort me. Future winds? People don't say anything about science fiction......" Lin Musen glanced at a dragon boat in the distance and sighed.

Guo Mengmeng also looked at the dragon boat, and her face suddenly became a little embarrassed. That's right, their own dragon boat can be regarded as the wind of the future. But that dragon boat ...... How to describe it, it is the shape of the spaceship in the sci-fi anime movie...... It's hard to figure out how to put together such a complex geometric pattern.

Liu Fu Piaopiao kicked Lin Musen's calf in the back: "You are enough, we are not here to compare the shape, but the speed!" People are willing to comfort you. You still don't appreciate it, what do you want? If you're not happy, let's quit now. Just take advantage of this time to find a festival boss to kill! ”

The so-called festival boss is a wandering boss that is refreshed at the major leveling points during the Dragon Boat Festival. The strength of this kind of boss is about the same as that of the elite mini-boss, but the intelligence is very high, and it will run away when there are more people. Killing this kind of festival boss will drop more items than usual, and there is a chance to drop festival-specific items, as well as special materials for making zongzi. Generally, if you don't go to the dragon boat race, you will look for this kind of festival boss everywhere to kill, and the profit is not small.

Lin Musen was kicked and seemed to be sober: "That's what I said, we're here to compete for the top spot, not to compare with them." That's right! What about their bells and whistles, they will all be thrown behind by us when the time comes! A bunch of embroidered pillows are just a bunch of them, not worth mentioning! ”

So, this guy's triumphant energy returned......

Lin Musen's personality is sometimes very much like a child, very extreme, extremely depressed when he is depressed, but once he is proud, he is proud to die or live. But everyone else is used to it, and it's good to ignore him completely.

Today is the qualifying round, and a race has a hundred dragon boats at the same time. Of these 100 dragon boats, according to Lin Musen's estimates, one-third of them are really trying to win the first place. Most of the others are here to play...... Can you expect a bathtub or a big ball of marshmallows to outrun Lin Musen's dragon boat? If nothing else, they can't overcome the problem of water resistance, right?

But even so, the competition is quite fierce. And this kind of game has almost no norms, and there are many accidents. Not to mention the whirlpools and reefs that come with the Yangtze River, those various states floating on the water may sometimes give people greater surprises......

It's not difficult to sign up for the competition, the game, everything is simple. Go pay to sign up and get a numbered ticket. Using the number plate, the player's dragon boat will appear at the starting point of the corresponding number...... The Yangtze River is divided into 100 starting points, in order to avoid the chaos of the start of the race, some dragon boats are in front and some are behind, which is inevitably a little unfair.

Lin Musen and the others sat on the dragon boat, looking at the lively atmosphere around them, somewhat excited. The players on the dragon boat around basically don't know each other. There's no way, I don't know how many arenas are divided into this qualifying tournament, and they don't know too many people, so the probability of being able to be assigned to the same arena is not very large. And even if they are separated, a hundred dragon boats, the distance between them is definitely not too close. The distance is a little farther away. It's normal to not see it.

The game started at noon, and now it's about the same time. The sun shines on the Yangtze River, reflecting a colorful light as the water surface fluctuates. The gongs and drums are noisy all around, and the red flags are displayed, a lively and extraordinary scene. All the contestants were excited and calm, waiting for the moment when the competition started.

Suddenly, there was a boom, and a black smoke rose in the distance. Trumpet! It's game on!

All the players suddenly had mana at the same time, and a hundred dragon boats rushed straight forward like arrows off the string!

Well, it was most of the dragon boats that rushed out. There are also a small number of dragon boats that are moving forward slowly, and some even turn in circles......

Too much pursuit of appearance and image is such a consequence. But now no one cares about them, and the other runners are trying to speed up their dragon boats and try to gain the upper hand in the early stage. As the saying goes, don't let your child lose at the starting line!

Okay, that's a little bit unreliable. But the current situation is indeed that everyone is working hard. Aim for a distance advantage at the start!

After all, if you are in a large army, you may suffer all kinds of accidents. But if you distance yourself from those players behind you, you won't be able to do anything to them, even if they want to do anything to them.

Lin Musen them. Now it is in the First Army.

To launch a dragon boat, in addition to needing a dragon boat, the players who control it are also crucial.

Because it's a fairy game. It is inevitable that the boat cannot be rowed with paddle like in reality, so the power of the dragon boat is actually the player who rides on it, injecting mana to make the dragon boat work. And this mana is not injected as much as possible. You need to find a rhythm and a suitable number of dragon boats to inject at once. In addition, in order to reduce the influence of the number of people, the power is actually taken as the average of the mana injected by all the people. And the average amount of mana injected is affected by how much mana everyone injects. The closer the amount of mana injected by all the people, the higher the motivation.

To put it simply, it is the effort of everyone at once. The larger the side of the dragon boat, the higher the power of the dragon boat. The strength of the dragon boat will naturally affect the speed of the dragon boat...... If you don't get one right, even the direction will be affected.

And controlling the injection speed of mana is not simple, it needs to be controlled by feeling. Of course, if someone shouts the trumpet at this time, it will naturally be much more unified.

Therefore, on the dragon boats, the trumpets are now sounding in unison.

"Work harder, hey......" Of course, it's rare to see such a simple and professional number, and most people shout it in their own way.

For example, Lin Musen and them, the task of shouting the trumpet was handed over to Guo Mengmeng.

"Bunny jump, jump! Little monkey bouncing, bouncing! Little Tiger Run, Run, Run! ...... "The good trumpets have been called into children's songs by her......

Of course, this trumpet is only for auxiliary purposes and does not affect it too much. And the power of the dragon boat is a little more or less, and it will not have as much impact as in reality. After all, this is a game, and in the process of the game, all kinds of messy effects are not comparable to real games...... Of course, there is no such mess in real games.

Although Lin Musen is in the first echelon, they are not the first. Now the first place is a super slender dragon boat...... It looks like it's made of wood, but it's thick enough. This dragon boat rushed out from the beginning, and is now at the top of the first group. However, there are also a few dragon boats chasing after them, and the distance is not too far. As for Lin Musen's dragon boat, it is in a slightly further position.

It's not that they can't speed up any longer, it's Lin Musen's suggestion.

"Anyway, it's a qualifier, and the top five can pass. We don't have to fight for the first, let others get the first. Let's see what kind of situation will happen in this competition later, and we can also prepare a little when we participate in the finals later! ”

The proposal was unanimously approved by all. In fact, they are quite confident in their dragon boat Amberstone, and there is no suspense in passing the qualifying round. There is no need to fight for this first place, what we want to fight for is the first place in the final!

Therefore, it is also important to explore what will happen during the course of the competition. Now they are not in a high position, not too low, just fifth, as long as they hold on, there is no problem with the final spot. The few in front of you chased me forward, just as a pathfinder!

Their decision was wise. With the character of the Weaver Girl all along, how could this competition be calm and not turbulent at all? Soon after the start of the race, the dragon boat "Nautilus", which was in first place, encountered the first danger!

On the water in front, a huge whirlpool appeared. And this vortex is impartial, appearing right in front of the Nautilus. If the Nautilus doesn't turn, it will surely rush into the whirlpool!

And steering means slowing down, and it is very likely to be overtaken by several dragon boats behind. Faced with this choice, the Nautilus, what will it do? Rush straight through the not-so-terrifying whirlpool, or turn a corner and pass by the whirlpool?

Not only Lin Musen, but also the players on the other dragon boats in front of them also paid close attention to the choice of the Nautilus. (To be continued......)
