Chapter Twenty-Nine: Passive Resistance, How Is It Possible?
It is very different from using the virtual network terminal to go online on weekdays, Xun Qiu really experienced the feeling of using the simulation cabin to enter the virtual network of the Seven Seas World at this time.
Because the identity of the upline is Master A, first of all, there are many outlets and information closely related to Master A. In addition to the mecha-related business technology websites that can also be browsed by virtual network terminals, there are also sites that require a simulation cabin to enter, such as the A Division Training Base, the A Division Battle Platform, and the A Division Promotion Assessment Center. There are even new mecha experience services released by various company forces. However, this kind of experience generally requires a higher level of armor, and is not open to beginners like them.
In the virtual network, some sites are not free, such as some high-level training rooms in the training base, some new mecha experiences, etc., and when using these functions, you need to consume Seven Sea Points.
And among the dazzling array of armor stations, the most popular is the division battle platform.
Different from the level of armor division in the real world, the virtual network armor battle platform is a completely different set of levels. There are five grades, namely new armor, rust, crack, defect, and remaining one. It means that a mecha of a division has gone through a process of hardship and death a little bit after entering the world of a division from a complete new outfit. The last remaining one is the cruelty of the nail master world, implying that there is no more than one in a hundred armor masters who have reached this level.
The way to increase the level of the virtual network armor, the first four levels rely on the points obtained from the battle.
Points are calculated as the product of the number of randomly matched games and the win rate. Friend Battles and Invited Battles are not counted. And only the last 10,000 rounds will be counted.
The number of points required for each level: 0 points for new armor, 500 points for rust, 1000 points for cracks, and 5000 points for defects.
Unlike the previous ranks, which relied entirely on Battle Points. The number of remaining first-class divisions is fixed. In the entire battle platform, there are only a hundred. There is only one way for the disabled level to hit the remaining level, or for the remaining level to rise in the ranks, and that is to challenge the higher-ups.
As long as you reach the Disability level, you can apply to challenge the remaining level. Then the battle platform will be screened, and according to the ranking of the challenged, the highest-ranked person in the A division who challenges the same opponent will be arranged to play against the challenged person.
However, there are rules that limit that the disabled level can only challenge the remaining level after 90. The remaining level can only challenge the upper position that is not higher than 10 places above their own ranking. For example, the remaining level of the 100th place can only challenge any remaining level after the 90th place.
Special regulations: Regardless of the level of the virtual network, the real senior A division can directly challenge the remaining level of the virtual network, but can still only challenge the remaining level after 90.
According to the rules, the remaining first-level A division who did not accept the challenge will be automatically judged to lose and fall to the disabled level.
Challenge events are held twice a month. They are No. 10 and No. 20. The duel between the high-ranking and remaining first-class divisions often becomes a hot topic on the Internet of the day, and the instant audience may even reach millions of people.
Even so, the armor division of the virtual network surplus level may not be able to beat the senior armor division in the real world. After all, a truly high-level armor master will not be mixed in the virtual network all day long. The virtual network is just a pastime.
However, it is different for a fledgling junior armor master like Xun Qiu.
The virtual network battle platform is the first stop for them to test their level. The opponents you meet here come from all over the world of the Seven Seas. The academies and forces of each sea area and each continent, the combat technical characteristics and mental outlook of their armor divisions, and the design concepts and technical directions of their mechas, may be extremely different. This is of great growth significance for a rookie junior armor master.
There are often various tournaments held in the battle platform. Some are organized by the academy and some are organized by group forces. These competitions usually have valuable prizes and endless benefits, and they always attract many powerful masters to participate.
And the annual rookie competition is one of the most popular events in the virtual network.
Xun Qiu entered the battle platform of the first division as soon as possible.
The curtain of light in front of him was magnified to the size of a wall. It is densely packed with various data. In particular, the ranking of the first division is sprinkled with tens of thousands of pages. Not all of the millions of armor divisions in the Seven Seas World are listed, and those armor divisions that have not been online for a long time for various reasons will not continue to be listed on this ranking.
And the 50 more than one level of armor on the homepage symbolizes the pinnacle of the virtual network armor division world. They may be insignificant in the real world. But here, they are the rulers here, they are the characters who respond to every call, they are the representatives of the explosive combat power, and they are the goals of the struggle and impact of the first division.
If you don't even have the strength to hit the remaining level, then how can you be surprised in the real world?
Xun Qiu first checked his data on the virtual network.
Name: Xun Qiu.
Origin: Azure Academy.
Realistic Armor Level: Beginner.
Virtual Netarmor Level: New Grade.
Number of rounds: 0.
Win rate: 0%.
Credits: 0.
Ranking: Unknown.
According to the rules of the virtual network, a newcomer like Xun Qiu, who officially became a division that year, will only be officially counted and recorded in the ranking after the rookie competition opens in early July.
In the days before the rookie game starts, their stats will only be recorded on an interim basis and cleared after the beginning of July. In other words, the extra few days of time that have come out now are grabbed by the academy for Xun Qiu and them to practice for a few more days.
The first thing almost all rookie divisions do after they have just been authorized by the division is to hit the rookie competition on the virtual network. This is a kind of experience, but also a means to motivate yourself, and it is the safest way to know your own strength.
Xun Qiu looked at the unopened rookie list, and his heart was surging. He wants his name to appear on the front page of the rookie list, or even at the top of the list.
He has only reached the second level in two of the five dimensions of the first division, which level will he be among the newcomers? He's looking forward to it.
"Autumn," Lotte Yu's light and shadow appeared in the corner of the light curtain, his face shining with confidence, "Are you done getting acquainted?" Let's have a game, shall we? Let's see who has the better record at the end of the day. First of all, yes, you have to use free matching. ”
"Free matching?" Xun Qiu raised his eyebrows, slightly puzzled.
"Hmm. Free matching is not the same as ranked matching. Ranked matchmaking is when only opponents who are no more than one level apart from their own level will appear, which is a kind of protection for newbies. Free matchmaking, on the other hand, is different, you will not only encounter new first-class players, but you will also encounter additional first-class players. In this case, the chances of meeting a master will increase a lot. Lotte laughed.
I see, it's just to let go.
"Understood." Xun Qiu was very satisfied with this setting, "Then what are you betting on?" Money? ”
"Well...... Lotte Yu thought for a while, "the one who wins can let the other party do one thing for him." Do what you can, and do not violate justice. ”
Xun Qiu's face was black. What the hell is Lotte Joy doing?
"Alright, let's get started!"
Xun Qiu used brainwaves and chose the free match in the hall of the battle platform.
Bite.
As soon as the light and shadow in front of him changed, he came to a random scene in an instant.
It's an old warehouse. The area is not very large, and it is estimated to be a few points larger than a lecture hall. The four-walled ceilings are made of metal, and the environment is completely enclosed.
And his opponent ......
Xun Qiu almost cried.
It's really what to say.
The first division, Oswald, is one level remaining, from the Water Moon Academy in the Star Sea Region. As for the realistic level, it is an intermediate division.
Ranked 86th on the whole network.
His mecha was glittering with gold and brilliance, and it was so sullen that it couldn't do it. In reality, a mecha like this is definitely a first-class target, and even the worst shooter can easily hit the target. But the virtual network is different, anyway, there is no life and death, only winning and losing.
The gorgeous look piled up with the dots of the Seven Seas is also a way to win.
Xun Qiu had no other ideas. This dazzling mecha is too impulsive to explode.
However, unlike LAN battles, virtual network battles have a five-second preparation time.
Five......
"This brother, from Azure Academy, right?" The other party's voice sounded very young, but the tone was frivolous, which made people very uncomfortable to hear. Xun Qiu's heart had a little more battle intent, he clenched the Heaven Dividing Sword in his hand tightly, and rushed over to knock hard as soon as the preparation time was over. The other party has at least a series of intermediate armor masters who have reached level five, and he is just a junior armor master who has just broken through the second level with an agile physique, how can he fight?
Four......
"Ah, that weapon is kind of interesting, isn't it standard?" The Heaven Dividing Sword in his hand seemed to have caught the other party's attention. The electronic eyes of the other mecha flashed a few times. Xun Qiu understood that he had narrowed his field of view a little closer and was paying attention to his weapon.
Three......
"Well, that weapon is the most valuable piece of equipment you've ever had, right? However, it's only worth one or two thousand, wahahaha......"
Xun Qiu's [Watch] mechanical arm tightened a few more points.
Why is this man so annoying?
Two......
"Well, there is no way, who let you meet me. Look, my sword ......" The other party showed his weapon and waved it a few times. The same glitter, the same dazzling.
One......
"That's it, I have an arsenal of goods. If you win me, I'll ...... I'll go! ”
The other party was frightened by Xun Qiu's momentum.
It's been a long time since Oswid's met a junior armorer so ruthless. The reason why he chose to match freely was nothing more than to abuse the dishes. He didn't mean to fight.
Most junior armor masters will not struggle much when they encounter him. There's no chance of victory. Who would work in vain?
But Xun Qiu is different, since he is here, he will go all out.
With a bang, Xun Qiu's "Watcher" collided with the opponent's mecha. Even though the two mechs are several legendary mechs inferior in appearance, they are both made of alloy after all. Xun Qiu's speed was not slow, and under this collision, the other party was caught off guard and shook slightly.
"Interesting...... "The golden sword in Oswid's hand flicked slightly, and he opened Xun Qiu's Heaven Dividing Sword.
This made Xun Qiu's heart shocked. Its power is simply overwhelming for him! It seems lightweight, but it's actually unstoppable! If Mesfil's strength could barely be blocked before, the power of Osvid in front of him, he had no chance of winning at all.
Is this the strength of an intermediate division?
This kind of situation where you can't see a win is really sad.
Xun Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, because a new selection task appeared in front of him:
[Select Task 15.] 】
[Option 1: Accept reality and passively resist. Reward: Grade F. 】
[Option 2: Use your strengths and work hard.] Reward: Grade A. 】
[Option 3: Look for opportunities and wait for the opportunity to fight back.] Reward: S-Rank. 】
[Option 4: Verbal provocation, extreme counter-killing.] Reward: SS Rank. 】
Xun Qiu thought to himself, Baixue has been with me for so long, and he still doesn't know who I am?
Let me passively resist? How can it be?
Although he felt in his heart that choosing two was the wisest at this time. However, the SS-level reward, he has seen it for the first time, and it is fake to say that he is not impressed. Besides, he always felt a little annoying about the opponent in front of him. He decisively gave up the A-level reward that he was very likely to get and chose four.
"I think your mecha is too dazzling! This makes you look very immature and steady! I'll just reluctantly help you get old for free, what do you think? Xun Qiu saw that the opponent did not fight back immediately, and immediately began to verbally attack.
Oswald's mech tilted its head.
This kid doesn't want to admit defeat obediently, why is he still starting to talk?!
"It won't be a hassle. Just use my sword to ...... on you" Xun Qiu took a posture on the spot, and pulled a few times with the Heavenly Sword, "Wipe it a few times." That's it. ”
"I'm sure you're satisfied." Xun Qiu's [Watch] head turned sideways, and he posed a V on his heart with his empty left palm, and his electronic eyes flashed like flattering eyes.
If the mecha's face is also connected to the master's facial muscles, the facial expression of the Osvade mecha must be very exciting.
The electronic eyes of the golden mecha flashed red, and with a bang, the engine behind it exploded, like a golden cannonball, attacking Xun Qiu's [Watch] at extreme speed.
Xun Qiu thought to himself, this must be a successful provocation, right? The other party was silent. Next, it's all left to kill the limit!
As soon as his mind moved, he unleashed an explosive rush, wanting to open up the gap with his opponent in an instant.
Just as a few thoughts flashed through his mind, the light and shadow from his mecha's engine had not completely converged, and with a loud bang, he felt that he had been hit hard in the back. This force was extremely strong, and it was a back blow, which made his whole person's vision change, as if any scene he saw turned into wisps of silk.
With a snap of his fingers, there was another thud, and he was simply slammed into the wall. This is a real broken chain, and for half a second, he couldn't move at all, and the whole person seemed to be glued to the wall, and he slid down.
With a bang, his back was at ninety degrees to his waist, and he nestled in a very twisted position in the corner.
Before he could turn around, he felt a cold wind hit his back.
It's his airflow perception!
And his perception is only level 1, and without taking the initiative to exert it, the range is only about five meters around him!
That is, Oswid has already pushed behind him!
Xun Qiu was indeed a little surprised.
Is that the end of it?
