Chapter 10 Changing Jobs, Guessing the Head

The City of Heroes, the first main city in the entire game, is more than five times larger than any city below it. At the gates of the city stand four towering hedron colossus, respectively four ancient heroes who were recorded in the history books in the war of gods and demons on the mainland. The momentum is magnificent, making people look up to the mountains.

It's a city that can withstand the gathering of three million players at the same time and still be in order. The official service here is the most comprehensive, except for some hidden multi-turn classes, all career and business skill mentors can be found in the City of Heroes. Not to mention banks, auction houses, mercenary clubs, and many virtual entertainment industry facilities, such as singing and danding, catering and bathing, 5D movies, and so on. The key is that there is no need to queue up, this game provides "phase transfer" technology, there will not be an NPC surrounded by a group of people, service NPCs are basically arranged in a certain room, only the people in the team can enter the same space together, if you don't team up with people, then you will only be one after you enter. So in the same way, you don't need to book a table for dinner, you don't need to book a private room for singing, and movie tickets will never sell out, and there is even a kind of ultra-high-priced ticket, and there are only two people in the entire screening hall, this is called a private venue, what do you want.

Today is a very ordinary day in the game, there are no festivals, the system doesn't seem to have any plans to rain, the wind is beautiful, and the sky is clear. The City of Heroes is as bustling and bustling as it is on weekdays. Countless players are silently busy in the streets, each of them being a screw in this vast system, supporting the operation of the entire world.

But on this day, when two LV10 players stepped into the east gate of the main city, an undercurrent began to surge, and the biggest disaster in the history of the game quietly began......

Wang Xu and Mao Ye entered the professional guild together, they were still "novices" when they entered, and when they came out, their professions had become "rangers".

This is one of the less popular classes in the game, similar to the mix of Killer and Hunter, but it clearly doesn't mix well, and is rated as the "most chicken" class on the forums.

For example, the killer values stealth, close assassination, high damage and high critical hits, and high speed and evasion; Hunters can bring pets to help in combat, excel at ranged weapons, high hits, ultra-high range, medium damage, and can also set traps to prevent enemies from getting close.

And what about the Ranger? This class can be invisible, the attack can be near or far, pets cannot be carried, but traps can be placed. Sounds good? Then you'd be wrong!

It seems to be proficient in everything, but in fact, it just doesn't make sense!

When PK with people, if the ranger is invisible and attacks close to the target, he can indeed grab the first move, but then what? The explosive power of the ranger is naturally not as high as that of the killer, and it often does not lose people in seconds, and when others come to their senses, they are beaten back and beaten violently. Although the Ranger's defense and HP are still slightly higher than the killer, the dodge is much worse, it is easy to be hit, and he has to snort the red bottle in a few hits, and his movement speed is not as fast as the killer, and he can't escape when the time comes.

"In that case, let's assume that we don't have the skill of stealth, and we can just start remotely. It's still the first move." People who think like this, after testing it once, will often look at the sky and roar: "What about the cheater!! ”

The reason is very simple, the ranger's melee ability is a weakened version of the killer, then the ranged ability is naturally a weakened version of the hunter, the range becomes closer, the hit becomes lower, the damage becomes weaker, and the trap effect is almost useless.

If you dare to do anything else to a player of both classes, the warrior or the knight, then it's basically like watching a horror movie after the fight starts: but forty yards away, oh sorry, the hunter is only forty yards with a ranged weapon, and the ranger you only have a range of thirty yards...... But I saw a strong man thirty yards away, and you were stabbed with an arrow. He immediately tightened his chrysanthemum, glared angrily, turned around, stood up to the rain of bullets from you, stepped on all the traps you put down, and walked in front of you, but the blood only went down a third, and a red bottle went down to the stomach, hey! The waist is no longer sore, the legs are no longer painful, and the blood bar is full. Then he used his fist the size of a casserole to pick up a mace thicker than your legs, and smiled lewdly at you, "Boy, do you want to be angry with me?!" ”

Come on, you might as well kill your relatives in righteousness, and you have calculated yourself.

Another thing that makes people laugh and cry is that the Ranger class is the only class in this game that has no choice in the second turn. What is a preference for choice? I'll give you another example, after LV30, a warrior can choose to turn into a berserker or a heavy armor warrior; Knights, including shield cavalry, holy knights, knight lords; mages, including dark mages and elementalists; Killers, there are assassins, martial artists. Other priests, hunters, etc., all have at least two or more secondary options, and even some professions have hidden secondary transformations, such as Fallen Knight, Holy Magister, Voodoo Monk, Sword Hero, or something.

And what about the ranger, guess what he is called after the second turn? First of all, I have to clarify that there is nothing hidden in this class, and then, as I said earlier, there is no choice tendency, that is, you can play Ranger without worrying about what to turn into, because you only have one second turn to choose.

The name of this second-turn class is called - Great Ranger.

Oh, God......

It gives me the feeling that it is like this: slimes→ giant slimes, orc warriors→ burly orc warriors, idiots→ big idiots.

The game company may not want to spend more thought on the design of this profession, because there are almost no people who play, and there are even fewer who have not deleted the number after playing to the second turn, according to me, this is not a second turn, this is called turning "two", and the more you turn it, the more you turn it, the more you turn it. Still want to choose a predisposition? I don't think you need to, you already chose it when you were LV10 - "masochistic tendencies", yes, this is what you chose.

I've said so much, and the core argument should be quite clear, the profession of ranger is really too wasteful......

But Wang Xu and the cat master just turned this, when they walked out of the professional guild, the eyes cast by passers-by changed, and in the eyes of those people, there were ridicule, sympathy, scorn, helplessness, and of course, shock.

However, the thickness of their faces was obviously not penetrated by their eyes, completely ignoring the gazes of passers-by, and the two of them walked in two directions with expressionless faces.

They are all white names, and like most players who have just passed LV10, they are not eye-catching. Now the question is, how do they go about killing 500 other players who are LV10 or greater......

"From now on, it will only take another forty-three hours to get to the end of the plan." The cat master said to Wang Xu through the private chat window.

Wang Xu replied: "I understand, now I will turn my personal social information into 'hidden'. ”

This kind of private chat window allows two people to contact each other with no distance limit, and the text in the window interface can only be seen by the person, and others don't know who you are chatting with privately or not.

The call between the two stopped temporarily, and the cat master walked to the information center in the city and began to check the information, he sat in front of a touch screen for inquiry, his fingers moved rapidly, and he already knew the basic content of this game, such as career, business, city, setting, etc. Now what he wants to investigate is grievances...... It's the rivers and lakes......

He needs all the resources at his disposal: official information, gossip from various forums, the history of the game, the history of the major guilds, famous players, major events, legendary treasures, official guides, maps, bosses, ......

At the same time, Wang Xu, with all the money on the two of them, walked into the only casino in the City of Heroes, and the largest in the entire game, yes, there is a casino in this game.

Wang Xu didn't know if gambling was legal in this multiverse, but it was okay in this game anyway, and they even gave a general introduction to the existence of various casinos and some of the popular items in the game manual.

The casino in this virtual game is one of the very few places that uses real NPCs to serve, of course, the phase technology also exists, when a certain number of guests in a plane arrives, the new guests entering the casino will enter another plane with a relatively small number of people, and the system will keep a certain balance of the number of people in each place, lively, but not noisy, and there will be no overcrowding.

Wang Xu walked around the casino to get a general idea of the situation, then he changed into an undercleaned fish belly face (after pit countless such people, he learned to imitate their eyes), ran to the "guess the head" game and sat down, pressing one-fifth of the money on his body.

"Do you know...... "When the dealer exchanged the three cards, Wang Xu suddenly interrupted: "The charm of gambling is that they can never replace a good dealer with a machine." It's like a football game, although there are many misjudgments, but still don't use cameras to replace the referee. ”

The dealer was a very good-looking girl, and every day there were countless guys like Wang Xu who sat here and pressed a little bit of chips and then started talking to her, which made her very disgusted, because she could only endure it, smile at each other, and keep fiddling with this game that even a three-year-old child would play - guessing the head.

"All right, sir." Her smile was stiff.

"The one in the middle." Wang Xu pointed to the table.

The dealer girl's eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of pride and excitement, all of which fell into Wang Xu's eyes.

"I'm sorry, sir." The girl flipped over the middle card, and then revealed two other cards on the left and right, with the queen on the left.

On the electronic interface in front of Wang Xu, the number of game currency chips was reduced to zero, and he pressed the same amount as just now indifferently, and said, "I want to try again." ”

The girl still smiled patternedly, thinking: This time this guy should take the opportunity to ask my name, and then said "This name is so good" or something, and then asked me for the number of GULP (General Unilaterallinkphone), and if I don't tell you, I will be entangled, and I will be even more entangled, and how many guys like you will be harassed by this girl every day to finish? Watch me make you lose lose lose! Lose to death!

Her hand speed doesn't look fast, but the viewer's focus shifts and blurs at some point, and if you think that a person with two hands in front of you for three cards can't play a big trick, you're wrong, and if that's what you think, a lot of the items in the casino just lose money.

Putting aside the gambling items that are purely lucky, in those projects with a certain technical component, you will occasionally win, but don't think that is what you see, it is just that the dealer wants you to taste a little sweetness, or it is just a momentary mistake, the probability of this mistake is almost 5%, if the uncontrollable rate is more than 10%, it can only mean that the dealer is probably not qualified for this project.

The legendary figure of the dealer in the last century, Mikhailovich, is said to have even manipulated the results of the roulette, after the roulette wheel began to turn, the moment the steel ball slid out along the edge trajectory, with a more precise and delicate technique than the surgeon, the final landing point was magically determined, with a success rate of more than 95%, which no one knows, miraculous technology, and there are even rumors that the Russian gangsters did not hesitate to buy his patent.

Wang Xu didn't speak, and watched calmly as the three cards were exchanged until the dealer girl changed the cards again, stretched out her hand and said, "Sir, please guess." ”

Wang Xu didn't hesitate for two seconds before saying, "The one on the left." He pointed to the card.

"I'm sorry, it doesn't look like this one." She said almost as soon as the cards were revealed.

So Wang Xu took out the third "one-fifth" of the funds, bet quickly again, and then said calmly: "Then I'll do it again." ”

The girl smiled and said, "Okay." But what she thought in her heart was: Cut...... How did you get my attention? When I am a sister, how do I do nothing? If you lose ten times and don't leave, that's called sincerity.

This time Wang Xu spoke again: "How long have you been a dealer?" ”

"Two or three years." She replied, unaffected by the movements of her hands.

"Huh...... It's been so long. Wang Xu then said an unusually shocking sentence: "The guys who came here to guess people's heads are all patronizing to see your face, right?" ”

The girl didn't seem to understand Wang Xu's voice, so she didn't respond, and her card change was completed at this moment: "Sir, okay." ”

Wang Xu pointed to the middle card: "This ......"

The girl was just about to uncover it, but Wang Xu shook her head and said, "No." ”

He sneered: "This is Zhang 9." Then he moved his finger to the one on the right: "This is 3." Finally, he pointed to the one on the left: "I choose Q." ”

None of the three cards have been revealed, but judging from the dealer's expression, Wang Xu is obviously right.

She quickly regained her trademark smile and unveiled the Q, "Congratulations, sir. She operated a few buttons, and Wang Xu's bet amount doubled.

Wang Xu said: "I feel guilty for winning money on you......" He is telling the truth, according to his routine, it should be, pretend to be a water fish, lose two rounds first so that the dealer can win a little sweetness, then the dealer should consider deliberately putting some water to him, so Wang Xu took this opportunity to start a proper counterattack, not need a few rounds, the dealer will be shaken by his confidence in his skills.

But this woman ...... The technique is average, absent-minded, and likes to be colorful, and does not know how to properly release water to make people fall into the mud. This whole one-person ATM!

Wang Xu said: "That's it, I'll win two more games and leave, so as not to be scolded by the top." He pressed all the money he had left.

The dealer girl's neck was red with anger, and she said in her heart: You kid dared to be so ashamed to win once?! Patronized to see my face? It turns out that I am cooking, right? My aunt and grandmother asked you to clean up and go home early for dinner!

So, in the next round, after changing the cards, Wang Xu pointed to the three cards from left to right and said: "3, 9, Q." Open, give money. The other party really wanted to tear him up, but he could only endure it.

Another round, Wang Xu is still like this, he won three rounds in a row, and the dealer girl has a little urge to cry.

But Wang Xu also did what he said, he was really embarrassed to bully this kind of rookie anymore, and he had no sense of accomplishment. He put away the game currency and stood up: "So, before I go, I'll show you something." He picked up the three cards on the table: "Watch out." ”

In the next ten seconds, he exchanged the positions of these cards no more than twenty times, and the girl did not lose focus, she knew the basic techniques, she did not see Wang Xu use the suddenly accelerated card swap and camouflage reverse cross technique.

"Guess." Wang Xu said.

The girl said, "This one." ”

Wang Xu opened it, it was Zhang 3.

The girl was surprised and blinked: "That's ...... This one. ”

Wang Xu opened the one next to him, and it was 9.

"How so?" She was a little excited: "You must be out of a thousand!" The last one isn't Q either! As she spoke, she flipped through the rest of the sheet, and it turned out to be Q.

Wang Xu smiled: "The trick is...... Play guess the head with the master, don't look at the cards, just look at his face. ”
