This is an unavoidable rampant phenomenon for cheating in online tournaments, after all, the regulatory system for online tournaments is not perfect, and no format can avoid things such as gunner substitution and cheating by using some special means to change the simulator.

In order to be able to drive to the real IA, some people really do everything, but fortunately, there are not many such players, at least the IA League's regulatory system is not in vain, at least many players who try to modify the simulator software have actually been disqualified from the competition as early as the first round of the offline competition, and only those players who rack their brains and use unconventional cheating methods can get away with it.

But no matter how superb the cheating methods are, how hidden, then when it comes to the offline competition, they will have nothing to hide, just like this Liu Shichao, in fact, is the best example, because in addition to losing the qualification of this professional qualifying tournament, he is likely to accept a series of personal punishments from the IA League, such as not being allowed to register for the professional qualification tournament again within three years, and not being allowed to register for various individual cups and other related events, etc.

The punishment is not severe, but for some people, they don't want to be professional players in the first place, they just want to have fun, just like the middle-aged uncle that Lin Xi took a fancy to at the beginning, doesn't he know that even if he obtains professional qualifications, then there will be no club to sign with him?

The answer is obvious, of course he knows, but even if he does, then it can't stop the enthusiasm of IA enthusiasts and the desire to drive in pursuit of the real IA.

IA is a sport, and it is born for frenzy in itself.

Therefore, even if the IA League and the organizing committee of the event announced the violation measures as early as possible, there are still many people who take risks, even at the expense of cheating.

"I'll make up, where is your sister, Lao Tzu is lost......"

Just when Hou Ziang blamed himself for not paying attention to the game, and Xiong Tianci felt sorry for his eyes, Hu Xiaopeng, who was "released" in the bathroom, was actually not happy, because in the face of the Etrafur Arena, which was much larger than the main venue of WIN, Hu Xiaopeng was in a state of confusion at all.

Originally, he just wanted to find a nearby restaurant in advance to wait for Mu Qing and them while the game was not over yet, when the audience and players had not left the venue en masse on a large scale.

But Hu Xiaopeng is not familiar with this place at all, the huge arena is like a maze, and Hu Xiaopeng, who can still be found in the southeast and northwest at first, is only a few circles, and he is completely dizzy.

Especially the signs hanging in the arena, Hu Xiaopeng walked for a long time according to the exit signs, and in the end he found that he was clearly still going around in circles, not to mention finding the exit, and even how to return to the waiting area became a problem.

And even if Hu Xiaopeng encountered several patrolling security personnel on the way, but walking in the direction they pointed, Hu Xiaopeng still could not completely get rid of the fate of getting lost.

Call Mu Qing or Hou Ziang? Let them come to themselves?

It's impossible, Hu Xiaopeng doesn't want them to have a chance to laugh at him, unless he really has to, Hu Xiaopeng really won't go to "ask for help".

What's more, in Hu Xiaopeng's opinion, even if he can't find the exit in a short time, as long as he waits for the end of the morning game and follows the flow of people who exit, Hu Xiaopeng doesn't believe that he can't find the exit, just like when they enter the arena in the morning, after entering the athletes' tunnel security check, they don't need to find the location of the waiting area at all, they only need to follow the other players and they will not get lost.

"Quick, this way, C9, C9 car, speed up and don't fall behind, hurry up and keep up with ......"

Just as Hu Xiaopeng was standing in a hall connecting six or seven forks in the road, looking around at the signs around him, thinking about the direction he should go, there was a sudden burst of shouts from a passage in front of him.

Looking along the passage, I saw a row of small engineering trucks consignment several parts boxes in sight.

“A0-D9，E0-H9？ Repair hangars? ”

Looking up at the sign hanging above this passage, Hu Xiaopeng seemed to have discovered a new continent, and strode towards this passage with a smile.

The maintenance hangar, of course, is the place responsible for repairing the IA, but it is also another battleground for this Pro Qualifier.

Maybe it's not like the contestants on the field, and there is no such thing as a winner or loser, but the tension here is not weak at all, and even the competition is a little more lively when the maintenance hangar is busy.

The hum of countless machinery and equipment, and the noisy shouting of hundreds of mechanics at the same time, all testify to the lively scene in the maintenance hangar.

And the culprit of all this, of course, is the offline qualifier that inexplicably expands the number of players, just like Mu Qing and Hu Xiaopeng explained at the beginning, although there are 500 contestants in the offline qualifier, but the IA Alliance can actually use no more than 150 standard IA for the competition.

That is to say, after the first group of players is finished, the mechanics must repair at least 50 IA machines in a short half-hour break to meet the minimum needs of the game, otherwise the second group of players will have the embarrassing phenomenon of no IA available.

As for the extent of battle damage of an IA, no one can predict it, let alone control it, because anything can happen on the field, and it may simply be damage to the armor and weapons, and only the armor and weapons need to be replaced.

It is very likely that a series of mechanical components and electronic components inside will be damaged, and even a certain IA is almost scrapped and needs to be disassembled and completely repaired, so theoretically it is necessary to repair at least 50 IAs, but in fact, the number of IAs they have to repair is by no means more than that.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, which is the best interpretation of the current situation in the maintenance hangar at this time.

But fortunately, the IA League has long expected the problems of IA maintenance in the game, otherwise, the IA League will not increase the number of mechanics from one or two people per club in the past to five in this qualifying tournament, and also limit the level of mechanics called.

Each club recruits five mechanics, and there are a total of sixty clubs at all levels of the league, that is, a full team of three hundred mechanics, even if the level of mechanics is generally not high, but it is definitely not comparable to any club, perhaps only such a large team of mechanics can really ensure the smooth progress of the professional qualifiers, otherwise this professional qualifiers are likely to become a big joke in the history of IA.

In order to ensure that these mechanics can have higher work efficiency and division of labor, the IA Alliance will certainly not let these mechanics fight separately, and the person who leads the team of 300 mechanics is Chen Liang, who left WIN before and is currently playing for the ICE Ice Maple Club.

Of course, the major clubs have no objections to Chen Liang, who has long been famous, as the person in charge, after all, Chen Liang can be said to be one of the top mechanics in the current IA league in terms of fame, ability and experience, at least in terms of value, no one has surpassed his salary standard of 100 million in four years.

At his suggestion, and with the permission of the IA Alliance, the team of 300 mechanics was divided into 20 teams according to the club level, each of which was led by the leading mechanics of 20 super clubs, and each team was composed of 15 mechanics from the three clubs.

Just like WIN, in the fifteen-member team led by Wang Hui at this time, except for five people, including Wang Hui, who are mechanics of the WIN club, the remaining ten mechanics are the mechanics of the two clubs of Fengkai and Yuhua in the secondary league.

Wang Hui is the leader of this group, and the leaders of the other two clubs are the deputy leaders of the group, and they are responsible for the maintenance of the five lifts numbered D5 to D9 in the hangar.

As for the use and transportation of IA spare parts, the exclusive mechanics of the IA Alliance are responsible for the statistics and distribution of shipments, and will not waste the manpower and time of Wang Hui and other mechanics.

Originally, the IA Alliance arranged this arrangement to reduce the workload of machinists, and at the same time, it was also possible to control the use and replacement of parts to prevent excessive waste of parts.

But in this way, a series of problems have arisen, because under normal circumstances, all club IA maintenance work is carried out by the mechanic who leads the team to count the battle damage, and then other low-level mechanics go directly to the spare parts warehouse and transport it to the hangar.

But now, there is suddenly another "department" in the middle, which of course makes the mechanics feel unaccustomed.

In fact, the lack of accustomation was only the initial feeling, because when the so-called "parts fleet" was actually up and running, more problems followed.

For example, due to the lack of capacity of the transportation team, the parts cannot be delivered to the designated team quickly, and due to errors in the records, there are errors and missing parts in the shipment, and so on.

What makes these mechanics even more unbearable is that many times the parts they send are not the parts and equipment declared by their own team.

Instead of just re-delivering the misrouted parts to the required team, the team had to transport the parts back to the parts warehouse for redistribution.

When asked the reason, it turned out that they received a rule that "regardless of whether the parts are used or not, all recycled and returned parts need to be recounted and put into storage, and unauthorized transfer is not allowed." ”

Backfired, good intentions do bad things, this is the perfect definition of the IA Alliance in the minds of these mechanics at this time, even Chen Liang, who was supposed to be on the side of the IA Alliance, did not need other mechanics to give him feedback at all, and even he himself was unacceptable to face such work efficiency.

React to the supervisor of the parts warehouse, and even to the counterpart supervisor of the IA alliance, but the final communication result is also futile, and does not change the current status quo, at most only promises to strengthen the capacity, will repeatedly confirm the mechanic's application, try to avoid mistakes and other irrelevant answers, can not actually solve the problem.

The promise cannot be fulfilled, and the reality is still that many mechanics are helpless in the face of the war-damaged IA, which is like a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, without suitable parts, how can they repair IA?

Unless, they all have Hu Xiaopeng's perverted ability to turn waste into treasure

But in fact, including Wang Hui, almost all mechanics do not have this ability, because most of today's mechanics are from professional backgrounds, and the knowledge learned in school is only to teach them how to inspect the damaged parts of the IA, and then disassemble the parts and replace them with new ones, rather than disassembling and repairing a damaged part.

And just as Wang Hui was sitting in front of the elevator with a melancholy look and several other mechanics waiting for spare parts, Hu Xiaopeng, who had been hanging out in the maintenance hangar for a long time, actually appeared in their sight with a smile.
