Chapter 17: A Tragic Elimination

Xiao Chao practiced alone and felt very bored, so he ran to the battle of life and death to match. After several battles, Xiao Chao raised his ranking to within 100.

These battles have verified the effect of special training, Xiao Chao feels that his combat effectiveness has improved a lot, the so-called crazy with capital, Xiao Chao is full of confidence in entering the top 32 of the game.

"Brother Feng, how is the fight, how is the combat effectiveness of Cousin Zhenzhen?" When he returned, Xiao Chao was full of curiosity about the match between him and Wei Shao.

"You know Zhenzhen's cousin." He actually wanted to ask in his heart, Xiaochao, since you know each other, why don't you tell me.

"I don't know each other, but I've heard Zhenzhen mention it a few times, but I haven't really met. But listening to Zhenzhen's description, I feel that her cousin should be very arrogant. After Xiao Chao finished answering, he asked curiously again: "What was the result, did you suppress his arrogance?" ”

"His combat power is really good, I just narrowly won, narrowly won." peak

"You're just narrowly winning? Is he that strong? In Xiao Chao's heart, Feng's combat power is already at its peak, and this Wei Shao is actually just narrowly defeated, and he is very surprised

"By the way, how are you practicing?" Feng still cares about Xiao Chao's combat effectiveness in his heart.

"Brother Feng, what you taught me is really practical, I went to fight a few games, and I was able to win in a row, and my ranking has improved by dozens of places." Xiao Chao put the few battles just now, describing the dragon flying and phoenix dance.

Feng: "Okay, let's continue training. ”

Xiao Chao "....."

At eight o'clock in the evening, the audition of the competition officially ended, and the top 1024 players have all been determined. Three days later, it was officially the second stage of the competition, the knockout round.

The knockout matches are divided into two time slots, 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. During each time period, all matches start at the same time.

Today is the first day of the knockout round, that is, 1024 into 512. There are 256 games at 10 a.m. and 256 games at 3 p.m.

The knockout rounds are played every other day, with today's game, tomorrow's rest, and the day after tomorrow.

The game system will complete the random matchmaking of players half an hour before the match, and then give the player half an hour to prepare for the battle.

At half past nine in the morning, Xiaochao received a message from the game: Dear players, your opponent is the "East Gate Snow Sweeping" competition will be held at ten o'clock. Please prepare in advance in the battle waiting area.

Xiaochao: "Did you receive the battle information?" ”

Feng replied, "No, did you receive the message?" ”

Xiaochao: "I received it, and the game started at ten o'clock." If you don't receive it, then you should have played in the afternoon. ”

A few families are happy and a few are sad, and as many people win the game, as many people will lose the game. Some of the two sides have too much difference in strength, and the game is over in a few minutes; Some of the two sides are of equal strength, and they can actually fight for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Xiao Chao's opponent was very weak compared to Xiao Chao, so he quickly won the victory. When he exited the room where the small super league game was playing, there were still more than a hundred games going on.

But in these 100 games, he couldn't find a friend he knew. At this moment, he suddenly realized that whether it was in real life or in the game world, he had few friends.

So he sent a message to Xiao Chao: Xiao Chao, after I finished the game in the afternoon, I asked a few friends to play basketball to celebrate.

Xiaochao: "This proposal is good, then see you at the old place in the afternoon and contact by phone." ”

There was no suspense in the afternoon's game, and he won the game with ease. Then put on your handsome sportswear and head to the old place: the basketball court.

Xiao Chao made an appointment with two friends of the same age as everyone else, and prepared to have a 2V2 basketball friendly game. These two people, he also knew, had played basketball together a few times before.

Since it is 2V2, of course, it is a team of Feng and Xiaochao, and a team of two other people.

One of them is called Ah Nan and the other is called Dong Dong

As a young man, a simple competition can't arouse interest, so Ah Nan proposed that the competition should have a colorful head. Gambling money is not advocated, and it also hurts feelings, so in the end, everyone decided to buy snacks and drinks if they lose.

The rules of the game are as follows: seven games in one game, four wins in seven games

The first prize head: red can energy drinks

The opponent attacks first, and Feng and Xiaochao defend first. At first, he and Xiaochao didn't take this basketball game to heart, just entertained and played as usual. But the other side is very serious, especially Ah Nan, who hits very hard. So soon the score was tied at three to one, and it came to the match point of the first game.

In the fifth game, Anan took the offensive ball and said to his teammate Dongdong: "Oops, I suddenly feel so dry." ”

Dongdong also understood what Ah Nan meant, and said with a smile: "Yes, my mouth is dry, but fortunately, I will have a drink to drink immediately." ”

Feng and Xiaochao looked at each other and smiled, quickly defended, made a successful steal, and then launched a counterattack, turning the score into three to two.

However, in the end, the first game was still 4-2 and lost the game.

Willing to lose the bet, he and Xiaochao immediately went to the commissary next to him to buy drinks, and on the way to it, they heard Anan's voice behind them: "Buy more, we have to drink three or four by ourselves." ”

Subsequently, Feng and Xiaochao bought a dozen in one go.

Anan drank the drink, and said in a strange way: "How do you feel that this drink is extraordinarily sweet today." ”

.........

Second Prize: Pistachios

With the experience of the first game, Feng and Xiaochao became serious, and in the end, they fought back with a score of 4 to 2 and won the second game.

However, Anan planned to buy it immediately, and found a reason to say:

Inconvenient to eat when playing;

There are no pistachios at the nearby commissary either;

After the next game, we'll go buy and so on

Feng and Xiaochao are not people with small bellies and chicken intestines, so they have no opinion on this.

Xiao Chao said: "It's okay, in the next game, how we lose, cancel each other out." ”

Anan: "Yes, that's what I thought, come on, let's move on." ”

The third lottery: beef jerky

At this time, the smell of gunpowder on the field was already very strong, and it exploded at the first touch.

The score went from one to one, to two to two, and finally three to three. Both sides reached match point. At this time, there was no longer the previous lively dialogue on the field, and everyone was full of tacit understanding, as if the mute mode was turned on.

In the end, Feng and Xiaochao won 4-3 with tacit cooperation.

At this time, Anan pointed to the peak and said loudly: "Come on, come on, let's regroup, Xiaochao and me, you and Dongdong"

For the recombination, Feng and Xiaochao both refused, because there was such an agreement between him and Xiaochao: only when 1V1 is available, the two sides can be opponents. In any other team competition, they must be comrades.

After hearing this explanation, Anan felt very angry: "What kind of ball to play, don't play, there is no game to play." ”

Then still putting the lottery head thing aside, Ah Nan and Dongdong stood under the blue box and talked about today's game together.

Ah Nan said how powerful he was, and he killed the other party in a few seconds.

After hearing this, Xiao Chao also joined the chat: "Is it the game "Eighteen Martial Arts"? ”

Anan asked Xiaochao: "Yes, are you also playing, did you participate in today's game?" ”

Xiao Chao replied angrily: "Of course we all participated, Brother Feng and I both won"

Everyone, you say a word, I talk about this game one by one, and I have put the basketball game aside.

Anan talked about this game, with a sense of superiority, saying that his ranking was in the top 200, and not only that, but he also made friends with the top 10 players in the game as his big brother.

Then ask how much Xiaochao ranks,

Xiao Chao replied: "It's about the same as you, about one or two hundred." ”

Anan said, your combat effectiveness is not bad, are you interested in joining our team?

Xiaochao: "We already have a team. ”

Anan: "It's okay, the team system hasn't come out yet, it's officially out, and it's not too late to decide." ”

Then, Ah Nan continued to brag, and when it came to his boss, it was simply not too exaggerated:

"Professional gamer, ranked 8th in the whole server."

"I have my own game studio and hundreds of people."

"What games have you played before, what kind of achievements have you had."

.......

In the end, Ananti didn't mention pistachios and beef jerky, and just told everyone: Bye-bye.

But Dongdong's tutor didn't allow him to do this, and when Feng, Xiaochao and Dongdong were on their way home together, Dongdong bought pistachios and beef jerky at the big supermarket on the side of the road.

Originally, Feng and Xiaochao refused, but Dongdong said: "People have no faith, and they don't stand, if you refuse, you don't treat me as a friend." ”

After Dongdong left, he and Xiaochao discussed the word "friend": how many friends should a person make in his life? What kind of talent is worth making friends?

But both of them are still young and have little experience, so they can only taste it.

The knockout round is still going on brutally, and tomorrow is the last day of the knockout round, 64 into 32.

In the afternoon, he and Xiao Chao were training together as usual, and suddenly he received a message from Wei Shao, hoping to learn from him again.

Of course he wouldn't refuse, so he invited Wei Shao into his training room, although Xiao Chao had heard Zhenzhen talk about Wei Shao before, but it was the first time to meet in the game.

"You are Xiaochao, I hear Zhenzhen often mention you, I have watched your live broadcast, it is very good and promising." Wei Shao has a good impression of Xiaochao, and when he meets, he praises Xiaochao.

"You are Wei Shao, I hear Zhenzhen often mention you, your combat effectiveness is good, 32 strong, I am very optimistic about you." Xiao Chao learned Wei Shao's tone and praised Wei Shao

Feng: "Stop complimenting each other, let's start talking." ”
