The race begins

His words changed the atmosphere in the room in an instant, and the tension hit his heart irresistibly. However, there are still some people here, like Xiang Nanxing and Nangong Qian, who still don't know what the so-called "White Night Festival" looks like. It is undoubtedly quite dangerous to play against the host in this state.

Fortunately, "Judge" Danqing has always been a host who tries his best to promote a fair battle.

"There is still a little time before the official start of the festival, so please let me introduce the rules of this 'White Night Festival'." Danqing said in a deep voice, "The last White Night Festival was a long time ago, and the newcomer has a new method, because this time it was drawn on this island, and there were a large number of players, so after the host's discussion, it was decided to make some changes to the rules of the game." ”

He held out a finger.

"First, the core idea of the original 'player vs. host' remains unchanged, and the original single-challenge format of a single player against a designated host has been changed to a five-player team battle between the host and the player. However, the way the team battle is still conducted is heads-up, in simple terms, it is a maximum of five one-on-one games, and each person on both sides can play at most once. This is not only a test of the art of arranging troops on both sides, but also provides a greater opportunity for the relatively weak side to break through. ”

Xiang Nanxing nodded subconsciously, but immediately frowned. Danqing's description of the situation did seem very tempting, and at first hearing it, even he was confused. Because in this way, compared to heads-up, how to arrange the troops and use the most suitable cards in their hands to meet the opponent is the most important thing. Even if the player who can come to this point can't compare to the host overall, he will definitely not fall behind in all aspects, as long as he finds the relatively weak side of the opponent and sends the right person to restrain him, the chance of winning is not small.

At first glance, it is indeed a rule that is more favorable for weaker players. But when you think about it, it's not.

Just imagine, the process of arranging troops is actually equivalent to a game of wits between the two sides. The commanders on both sides need to guess the order of their appearance according to the personnel configuration of the other side, and then they can consider how to restrain the other party. However, Sun Tzu also said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. At this time, they players don't know what hosts will be discharged on the other side, and even if they do, it is difficult to know the actual ability of those hosts, let alone how to restrain them. However, on the other side, there are several massive data on past game experiences that can be consulted. Style, strength, and areas of expertise, these things are known to insiders at a glance, and these players have not deliberately concealed their considerations in past games, so they are all real first-hand materials.

The amount of intelligence on both sides is completely different. This seemingly fair duel actually opened up a huge gap from the start, and the player side had to be at a very good level to make up for this disadvantage.

Xiang Nanxing's worry was not revealed, but Danqing seemed to see his doubts and slowly shook his head.

"Of course, this will be somewhat advantageous for the host side who is familiar with the player's situation, so we have a new second rule." He held up two fingers, "I have four tips in my hand, and you can draw one of them before the start of each round to determine the content of the round." I'm going to introduce the rules of the game to the players first, and then you'll decide who will play after you've listened to them. The host doesn't have this setting. As I say this to you, they have already decided on the order in which the first four will play. No matter what game you draw, the order in which they play will not change. ”

The rule that Dan Qing said at this time slightly eased Xiang Nanxing's worries. Indeed, in this way, the intelligence advantage on the host's side disappears. Even if they know which player is likely to play in which game, they have no way of knowing which game will be drawn in which game, and their order of appearance is fixed.

In other words, before entering the battlefield to see what the game content is, the host can't predict what players he will meet, but even if the player doesn't know the host's situation, he can try to guess the strength of the opponent's arrangement, which is not very useful at the beginning, but will gradually be revealed in the third and fourth games. This additional rule of Danqing will help players far more than it seems. But there's something strange about it......

"Huh? Why the Four Tips? Chris asked suspiciously, "This game is five-on-five, why is there only four games to draw?" ”

Danqing said: "The last battle is a general battle, so it is natural to treat it differently. If you win three out of five games, in fact, the first four games are already very likely to be decided, but if it is really a 2-2 draw, then the final tiebreaker will be held, and the rules of the game will be decided by the last person on both sides to discuss face-to-face. ”

"Oh......" Liang Jingmo deliberately dragged out a long tone, "In other words, the host left the strongest and most reliable one at the end." ”

There was no flaw in Danqing's words that could lead to this conclusion, but Liang Jingmo made a categorical conclusion as if he had seen something. Xiang Nanxing was confused for a while, but then immediately reacted: Isn't this Liang Jingmo's favorite bluff before, testing the other party's reaction?

It stands to reason that a high-ranking host should not be able to meet this level of schemes, but Danqing hesitated. Although he immediately shook his head and said, "This is up to you to guess", anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liang Jingmo's sentence just now did hit something. The host of the final finale is indeed the strongest one of them, so it is best for players to make corresponding arrangements and try to end the battle in the first four rounds. Although this information is insignificant, it is enough to provide a lot of assistance for the next official game.

Only Liang Jingmo himself knows that the hesitation of "Judge" Danqing just now is just to repay the debt for the hosting mistake in the previous game of "Cabin in the Woods". After that, there was no friendship between the two sides, and there was no arrears.

"Now, then, send someone to draw the bag."

After Danqing finished speaking, he shook his hand, and suddenly there were four brocades of different colors scattered on the coffee table. One red, one blue, one gray, and one green. Xiang Nanxing guessed that the color of the bag might be related to the content inside, but at this time it was only the first game, and no one could draw this conclusion.

The question at hand is, who will smoke it?

Except for the maverick masked man, the four people here know each other, but there is no leader who can obviously convince the public. Chris is cunning and changeable, but due to his physical limitations, his physical strength is very bad, Liang Jingmo is smart and alert, but he is incompatible with Nangong Qian, even if the latter obeys his ability, he will not admire his personality. As for Nangong Qian, she is really powerful in her professional field, but apart from that, it can be said that it is only an average level.

In this way, the most suitable person to draw tips and decide the first game is actually the average type of Xiang Nanxing? However, he couldn't help but hesitate at this time. The first battle had a big impact on the entire game process, and they had to win it. However, most of the players here are more intellectual, except for the Mask Man, and the type of game in the first tip will greatly affect the player's chances of winning.

He still wanted to try to guess what was going on in terms of color, even if it was just a little clue. But in reality, he was just wasting his time.

"I'll do it." Suddenly, he heard a gentle but firm voice beside him. Turning his head, he saw that Nangong Qian had walked to his side at some point, facing the candidate with him, and when their eyes met, the latter smiled slightly.

She reached out with lightning speed, grabbed the green bag, and tossed it to the host before the others could stop it. "That's it." She said lightly.

Not only Xiang Nanxing, but Chris also showed a stunned expression, but Liang Jingmo and the masked man nodded slightly. Nangong Qian's actions at this time were not just decisive, from her posture, these two people could see a deeper determination than that action.

Xiang Nanxing didn't think about it so far-reaching, but he quickly accepted the facts in front of him. At this stage, they have very little information at hand, and even if they want to have more, in the end they can only guess and lack evidence. The so-called well-thought-out tips are actually no different from finding a random one. So he patted Chris on the shoulder and listened quietly to Danqing's explanation.

"This is...... The only outdoor battle out of the four. It's so fitting to do it at this time. Those annoying flies haven't landed on the island yet, so we don't have to be too nervous even if we have to defend the mountain. ”

Danqing said as he showed the page in the bag to the crowd, on which a mountain was drawn, indicating the content of the game, and at the bottom were a few lines of text, which were obviously the specific rules of the game.

"The first battle, its name is 'Seeking Light and Treasure'." Danqing loudly announced, "This is an outdoor battle. Wearing a collar with special gems, a portable oxygen device and a portable GPS device, the player will enter a designated mountainous area to search for ten similar gems and stop the host's opponents with the same goal. ”

"At the beginning of the game, we will release a toxic mist, which will start to cause discomfort if inhaled in small amounts, and can be fatal if inhaled continuously. Therefore, oxygen equipment is particularly important, and players should pay attention to protection and continuity while looking for targets. The GPS device provided by the game will help you show you the coordinates of each gem, and when the player and the gem are close enough, the gems on the collar will resonate with the gem you want to find, and they will glow together for easy discovery. ”

"While I'm telling you about this rule, a couple of our hosts are already dropping gems in the designated mountains in helicopters, and it's important to note that the hosts who are about to play against you don't know how we're going to set it up. And the total number of gems that we will throw in the mountains is ......"

He gestured to one and nine: "Nineteen." ”

"There are two ways to win in a regular way." He continued, "The first is what I just said, which is to find ten gems in the mountains and take them out of the mountains. Another way is more convenient, and that is to destroy the special gem on the opponent's collar, which will lead to a direct victory. In addition, in this game, once the two sides enter the designated area, they must not leave until the victory goal is achieved, otherwise they will be directly lost. Therefore, a third hidden way to win is derived, which is to force the opponent who has not completed the goal to force out, cheat out, or even throw it outright, or force him to run out of oxygen and die, in short, by letting the opponent lose and win. This is of course possible, but regardless of which method is won, the player will have to get out of the mountains on their own. Therefore, the kind of person who depletes the oxygen of the other party and then depletes his own oxygen and cannot act, even if he wins the win-loss relationship, we will not help him. ”

After Danqing finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders.

"With the rules and hints out of the way, it's up to you to choose."

He stretched out his hand: "So, who participates?" ”
