Chapter 275: Covenant War
Although Rocky didn't want to admit it, he was really good at doing things, and in the last half a year, either by himself or with others, he had done more than one thing that was good enough to be in the weekly report of the Shadow Alliance.
And now, in order to attract the attention of the Sky Alliance, and make the Alliance remember that there is such a person as him, Rocky is ready to do a series of things!
First of all, he has to make some fuss in the arena!
As Hammer Fire said, if you want to prove your potential to the league, the arena is the best platform, especially now, in order to build momentum for the new generation of warframes, Sigma has already made the arena the focus of the whole world's attention, if anyone can have a wonderful or even unexpected game on such a stage, then it will inevitably attract a lot of attention.
In this case, Rocky decided to have an eye-catching match in the arena, and he had already thought of the goal, which was Xia Nai!
In this season's Arena event, in addition to Denise and another competitor representing Ourano, the most eye-catching one is Shana.
With her strong performance in the game, as well as her status far beyond ordinary people, coupled with the deliberate cultivation of the fighting arena, Xia Nai has already become the focus of everyone, and if Rocky wants to attract attention in the fighting arena, Xia Nai is definitely the best springboard.
So after making this decision, he immediately contacted Howard.
"I've seen the lord of the castle ......"
Howard was somewhat surprised when Rocky summoned Howard to Thunderhawk City and met him at the City Lord's Mansion.
He wasn't surprised by the identity of the city lord of Rocky, in fact, he had known this identity for a long time, and the arena might not care who Rocky was, but it didn't mean that they didn't know Rocky's identity, so what really surprised Howard was that Rocky would see him as the city lord.
Because according to the judgment of the fighting arena, Rocky should have deliberately hidden his identity, and it is precisely because of this judgment that the fighting arena did not make a fuss on this point, the city lord is the city lord after all, and respect still has to be given.
In this case, when Howard met Rocky, he immediately realized that something might be wrong, and Rocky saw him this time by no means as simple as arranging a match.
Sure enough, after that, Rocky said straight to the point: "I'm going to have a fight with Xia Nai." ”
"W-What?"
Hearing this, Howard was obviously stunned, and then asked cautiously: "Lord City, what do you mean...... Do you want to compete with Xia Nai in the ring?"
"That's right. ”
"That'...... In what capacity?"
Seeing Rocky nod, Howard's eyes cracked and rolled, and then asked tentatively.
As the person in charge of contacting the players, Howard was extremely shrewd and immediately understood what it meant for Rocky to come to him today, especially to meet him in his own city.
Sure enough, it was the same as he wanted, and Rocky immediately smiled: "It doesn't matter, any identity is fine, in short, I want to have a match with Xia Nai, and I don't participate in any other competitions." ”
"This ......"
After Rocky said this, Howard couldn't help frowning.
This request was obviously unexpected, and of course he could hear that there was a reason for Rocky's request, but he didn't know what the reason was.
In the same way, he could tell that Rocky was not joking, they were in the City Lord's Hall, where it was impossible for a City Lord to tell any jokes, and the City Lord's Hall was a place where he only talked about business.
So Howard didn't answer right away, but frowned and thought about it, showing a difficult look.
Indeed, Rocky's request was indeed a bit difficult for him.
Because it has been said more than once before that the arena has an internal evaluation for each player, and it is this evaluation that makes Rocky and Xia Nai both the targets of training, but in the internal evaluation of the arena, Rocky and Xia Nai are not at the same level.
In the eyes of the arena, Rocky's strength is very good, if you have to set a level for him, he can definitely be rated as an excellent level, and any player who is rated as an excellent level is a player who has the strength to enter the playoffs.
But the evaluation of Xia Nai in the arena is a seed-level player!
What is a seeded player?
It's a player who can not only easily enter the playoffs, but also have the strength to earn a season championship!
Only when this strength is reached will it be rated as a seed level by the fighting arena, and Xia Nai has received such an evaluation.
So don't look at Rocky and Xia Nai are both the key training and key targets of the fighting arena, but in the eyes of the fighting arena, Rocky can't be Xia Nai's opponent at all, because the two are not at the same level at all!
As a person from the arena, Howard certainly knew what the two of them had to say inside the arena, so he thought about it for a long time before he looked up at the tall Rocky.
"If that's the case, my lord...... I hope you'll give me a little time to prepare. ”
Although he didn't think that Rocky could really win against Shannai, and he didn't know why he wanted to die, since Rocky had said so and said it so solemnly, Howard finally agreed to his request.
This kind of designation of someone to play may be relatively rare, but it is not unique in the arena, and it can still be arranged if you want to, but there is a premise, that is, some preparation.
What preparation?
Naturally, it's time to build momentum for this game!
In the eyes of the fighting arena, Rocky may not be as good as Xia Nai, but he is also much stronger than the average player, so the match between the two of them will definitely be a strong confrontation, plus the identities of the two of them, and more importantly, the grievances between the two of them, these are all gimmicks of the game!
In the face of such a favorable gimmick, how could the arena not take advantage of it?
Therefore, as Howard said, it is okay to arrange a match between Rocky and Shannai, but it takes time to prepare, and this preparation is to build momentum for the two of them to fight, so that the arena can get enough benefits in this match.
"No problem, but you're going to give me an approximate time, I don't want to delay it too long. ”
"A month, Lord Castle, give me a month to prepare. ”
"Good. ”
While smiling and nodding, Rocky agreed to Howard's request, a month is not a long time, he can not only afford to wait, but also take this opportunity to let Orton and the others make further improvements to the White Demon Warframe.
After agreeing on this, Howard immediately left Thunderhawk City and returned to the arena to prepare for his departure.
And when he left, Rocky went directly to the research institute, and he also attached great importance to the game with Xia Nai, and he didn't even have the certainty of winning, so he also had to be fully prepared, on the other hand, as the city lord, he had other things to deal with, and the matter he had to deal with was even more important than the game with Xia Nai to some extent!
