Chapter 146, the top eight

With Yunero gone, the "regular season" finally came to an end, and in the end, Locke, Raymond, Long Biao, Taiyi, Xingzhao, Gondor, Panda, and Yunero were among the top in the points and won the ticket to the "playoffs".

Among the eight people, Locke is recognized as the strongest heads-up, his advantage lies in the ability of colorful magic swords, no one knows what magic swords he has? But almost every master who has fought with him has encountered a magic sword that is restrained or at least a headache for himself, and no one has a chance of winning against him.

Raymond is a typical example of "one trick", and his tactic is very simple, which is to brush himself with buffs and prepare spells when he is under the ring. Waiting for the ring, he directly smashed out with a super-extreme burst of flames.

It doesn't always work, but it does work. As long as he is hit by this move, it is basically a death. In the game, even the demons who were "fire immune" were killed by this move.

Long Biao's style is actually not much different from Panda and Yuneruo, except that he did not lose a few more games in the early stages of the game due to lack of fighting spirit like Panda, nor was he targeted hard at the end of the round-robin like Yuneruo, so he can score a lot higher than them.

Tai Yi is very strong, but she is casual in the face of most opponents. Thanks to the huge advantage of flying sword combat, otherwise you may even be eliminated - after all, there are only 8 playoff spots, and the top masters will also be lost.

Xingzhao's fighting style is similar to Raymond's, which is a shrunken version of Raymond. Her spells are also powerful, but the cumulative effect is not so strong, if it weren't for Panda and other masters to make way for her, she wouldn't be able to enter the top eight.

Gondor, on the other hand, was affected by a weak period in the middle and back of the schedule, but his advantage was evident in the middle and end of the season.

As for Panda and Yunero, it's normal for them to reach the final, not ...... It's also normal. Anyway, there are less than ten top masters, and the dark horses are always a minority, and there will always be masters who will be eliminated.

Once the playoff roster is decided, the playoff schedule begins. According to Alice's plan, she wants to play seven games in each round. But everyone said that it was too boring to watch the same two people fight seven times, and rejected this suggestion.

Alice emphasized several times that "I have the final right to explain" to no avail, so she had to accept it unhappily. But she insisted that you can't play a one-game game in the playoffs, that would be child's play, so the end result is a best-of-three — if one side is 2-0, then there is no need to play the third game.

Although people such as Gondor and Yunelo muttered that "one game is enough, there is no need to play three", there are also many people who support a few more games - Panda and others. The melon-eating crowd, who make up the majority of the traversers, didn't want to support one side in particular, so they were satisfied after vetoing Alice's seven-game tiebreaker. Without the support of the melon-eating masses, the "Criminal Organization for Abduction and Trafficking of Women" and the "Chaoyang District Mass Volunteer Team" could not overwhelm anyone.

As for Alice, the Great Demon King...... Now she is the only one who is collectively scolded by everyone.

After the playoffs were set, many people said that they wanted to revisit the rules of the game. For example, things like spending hours offstage to slowly put a buff on yourself, or flying to a height of hundreds of meters, must be prohibited.

For this discussion, Raymond, who "spent a few hours slowly applying buffs to himself", and Locke, who "flew to a height of hundreds of meters", were very calm, and unanimously said that they had no opinion and could be modified.

But Alice refused.

"Why!" she shouted, "Mages can't buff themselves in advance, can't prepare spells in advance, and rely on instantaneous magic when they get into the ring?

Gondor was silent, Yunero was also silent, and the melon-eating masses were silent.

As she said, with the agility of mages, if you can't prepare in advance, fight in the ring?

If you play a game, although the agility attributes of the characters vary greatly, the players in charge of the face scrolling keyboard control characters behind the computer are all the same humans, even if the hand speed Superman Panda can burst out with more than 300 APM in a short period of time, it may not make the character play more slippery than the professional two-finger Zen unwavering hand remnant Anka - after all, no matter how fast his hand speed is, he can't fly the sonic punch.

But in this world, the master of the martial arts department is really able to make a sonic punch! This has been tested by more than one person, and at present, among the traversers, there are more than 20 people who can stably send out the sonic punch - of course, it is not the kind of magic skill in the Saint Seiya that writes sonic boxing and reads it as killing inertial punches, but the speed of punching exceeds the speed of sound.

...... God is so "that's it"!

The fist can exceed the speed of sound, and the speed of the body cannot be slowed down. Even if it is only half the speed of sound, it only takes about half a second to rush through the ring with a diameter of fifty meters, so in such a little time, the mage wants to rely on instantaneous spells to resist?

Wake up, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight!

So the proposal was rejected – or rather, partially rejected.

Mages can apply buffs and prepare spells for themselves offstage, but there is a time limit, one minute.

If you have the ability, you can put on thirty-six layers of buffs and prepare legendary spells for yourself in one minute, that is your ability. If you recite the mantra slowly, and you can't even prepare the spell for a minute, then it's useless for you.

This time was finally arrived at by Alice after consulting Raymond and Xingzhao.

For spellcasters of their level, in one minute, excluding some relatively large spells, normal auxiliary spells can use five or six, which is enough to make up for the gap in each other's physical qualities. As for the rest, of course, it will be after taking office.

With the same physical fitness, the champion of the Colosseum and the completer of the hell training who has also been through a hundred battles are very confident in themselves.

However, Alice has no confidence in them, "Where does this unwarranted self-confidence come from?" she grumbled, offering the two of them a high odds.

Well, the odds.

At the strong request of the melon-eating crowd, Alice presided over the betting of the playoffs. Based on her own judgment, she drew up the odds for each contestant to win the championship, and there was also a separate bet for each round, but the odds were relatively low.

At present, the lowest overall odds are Locke, and the highest is Xingzhao. Differ...... Suppose a person spends all of his salary on Locke and wins, the money he wins is probably not enough for him to pay the utility bill next month, but if he bets on Xingzhao and wins, then at least the money for a self-guided trip to Southeast Asian countries will be available.

As the candidate for the championship with the lowest overall odds and the best chance of winning, Locke calmly accepted the restriction of "no flying in the sky", and when Alice asked him "Do you have any opinions", he smiled coldly and replied: "It won't be me who suffers anyway." ”

Looking at his calm appearance, Alice wanted to ask "Who gave you confidence", but after thinking about it, she honestly swallowed back the words that would definitely be ridiculed......
