Walking out of the portal, Shen Yi found himself in a dilapidated village.

The village is small in size, surrounded by a wall made of sharp wooden piles, behind which stand rows of soldiers in medieval armor, armed with spears and blades, looking solemnly ahead.

The sky above was gray, the air was scorching and burning, and it was in the middle of the wilderness, with the mountains and jungles in the distance, and occasionally the roars of some loud beasts could be heard, but it was impossible to distinguish what the animal was making.

This is the world of Diablo.

A fantasy world full of magical powers.

At this time, adventurers were appearing in all corners of the village, looking at their surroundings with a slight nervous vigilance in their eyes.

The sound of the Blood Emblem sounded at the right time:

"Enter the Diablo 2 quest world, currently in Camp Rog. ”

"This mission is in competition mode, and there is no main quest. Adventurers attack each other to reduce damage by 25%, and kill other adventurers to get a random piece of equipment. ”

"Mission content: Quest Tournament - In order to fight against the evil three demon gods, the dark world has released a large number of missions to the human brave. Adventurers are free to perform any task, unlimited number, all tasks are unique, when the task is completed, other adventurers will not be able to complete it, and they will not be able to get the corresponding rewards. ”

"There are five arenas in the Dark World, and each arena has six story missions released at the same time. Adventurer's contribution points will be calculated during the mission, but in the end, only one adventurer will be able to become the corresponding task completer, and only the person who completes the mission will receive bounty points and mission rewards. ”

"The total value of Contribution Points for each mission is equal to the Bounty Points, and a portal will appear after the mission is completed, which can be teleported directly back to the starting point. ”

"Only by completing all the missions in a competition arena can all adventurers collectively go to the next arena. ”

"All camps are safe areas for the venue, and no killings are allowed in the safety zone. ”

"The mission lasted thirty days. At the end of the time, the total points contributed by all adventurers will be calculated, and each point can be exchanged for ten blood points. The task standard is divided into 900 points. Those with points lower than 450 points will be wiped out, those with less than 900 points will be deducted half of the reward, and those with more than 1,800 points will be doubled. ”

"Quest Tip: This Dark World is in Panorama mode, and each arena corresponds to a standard difficulty area. ”

"There were 52 participants in this mission. ”

"Five Playing Fields: 1 Camp Rog 2 Rugoin 3 Kurast Harbor 4 Pack Demon Fortress 5 Harogas. "Quest Background: After the battle between Doomsday and Original Sin, the forces of heaven and hell have entered a stalemate. In order to break the balance and obtain the Soul Stone, the Three Demon Gods of Hell, who wield the power of fear, destruction and hatred, entered the human world on the occasion of the rebellion of the Four Demon Kings and brought great suffering to the human race......"

The plot information of the dark world had been mastered long before Shen Yi entered. This is a typical bitter meat trick show - in order to compete for the soul stone, the three demon gods of hell use their bodies as bait to lure angels. As a result, the angels themselves did not make a move, but let the human world seal the three demon gods one by one, and finally turned this hell invasion into a joke. As a game, Diablo unfolds in this context.

Unlike in the past, this time the Bloody City has not changed the background of the dark world to the greatest extent, but has been faithful to the original background to the greatest extent, and the adventurers will carry out an unprecedented collective battle operation as human warriors - they will sweep through the dark world, drive the forces of hell back, and become the new savior.

As soon as the introduction of the mission background ended, King Kong's voice sounded in the team channel: "Shen Yi, are you there?"

"Yes, I'm here. Shen Yi looked around and saw that King Kong was in a corner not far from him, and there was a flood standing beside him, gentle, he smiled and said, "I saw you." ”

"I saw you too, I said did you see anything?" King Kong They walked towards Shen Yi, and the figures of Zhou Yiyu and the fat man also appeared on the other side.

"Well, it's kind of interesting, if I'm guessing correctly, we're actually players who have entered the dark world and are playing a real simulation game. Shen Yi said with a smile.

Obviously, this time Shen Yi and them are like professional characters such as holy warriors and barbarians in the game, and they will make a breakthrough in their own game process.

The only difference is that there are as many as 52 characters entering the game this time, and each game mission has a unique nature, and once it is completed by others, you will lose the opportunity.

It's this small change that makes this game no longer a war between players working together against the Demon God, but a deathmatch between adventurers and adventurers!

Sure enough, after listening to the mission prompts clearly, the adventurers' eyes had become vicious. A number of adventurers who are familiar with each other approach each other, gradually forming large and small groups.

The largest group of about ten people was obviously a team, followed by a team of eight, followed by the Broken Blades team and another team of six. The four teams accounted for more than half of the adventurers' strength, and the remaining twenty-two adventurers were mostly small groups of threes and threes.

In addition to this, there are a number of people in the Camp of Rog who are dressed in old sixteenth-century costumes walking around, and they are clearly the characters of this world. Perhaps because of the Bloody City, they were not surprised by the presence of adventurers, as if they were supposed to exist in this world.

"There should still be a change. Zhou Yiyu strode over: "At least in the game, one task must be completed before the next task can be started." But listen to the heraldic tips, all the tasks in each arena are open at the same time, free to compete. In other words, we can now carry out the mission of exterminating Andariel. ”

Andariel, the queen of torment and anguish in the Dark World's Hell Camp, she is one of the four demon kings of the Hellside camp and the final boss of the first scene of the Dark World.

Hearing Zhou Yiyu say this, Hong Lang immediately shouted excitedly: "Then let's go and kill Andariel now!" The task hints that each competition field corresponds to a difficulty area, which means that the scene of Rog's camp should only be equivalent to the difficulty of the slums, and Andariel is definitely not difficult to deal with, I estimate that it is the level of a Count Dracula. ”

That's right, according to the hint of the Blood Emblem, the world of this mission adopts a panoramic mode, and the five scenes correspond to five difficulty areas. The meaning of this is obviously that the difficulty of the competition field of Camp Rogge is only the difficulty of the slum. With the ability of ordinary adventurers to challenge the difficulty of the ghetto, it is naturally very easy.

Even the problems that the flood waves could see, the other adventurers naturally would not fail to see it, and everyone was talking about it at this moment, and they were discussing it with each other.

Shen Yi looked coldly at the whispered discussions of the adventurers around him, and suddenly whispered in Fah-Arabic: "Andariel shouldn't be difficult to deal with, but it may not be possible to say that he is weaker than Count Dracula." ”

Hong Lang was puzzled: "Why do you say that? Could it be that Andariel is stronger than Dracula? But isn't that not in line with the difficulty of the slum?"

Shen Yi replied casually: "There are 52 adventurers here now, even if everyone's level is only at the level of the slums, if they are used to deal with Count Dracula, they can easily get three or five, right? ”

Hong Lang was immediately unconvinced: "But now it's the content of the competition, it's impossible for everyone to fight together, I want to think that in this case, Andariel should be better than Dracula to deal with, because everyone will definitely fight for me, resulting in additional damage, otherwise the difficulty of adjusting the mode you said is just an empty word." ”

A hint of weirdness appeared in Shen Yi's eyes: "The problem is here, this is the content of the competition, but the mode of our mission this time is a competition mode." Do you know what a match is?"

Everyone looked at each other and said gently: "The so-called competition and harmony is the coexistence of competition and cooperation. The relationship of competition and cooperation is the most complex and difficult relationship in human society, and it is a relationship that has risen to a political level, just like Sino-US relations, Sino-Japanese relations, etc., all of which maintain cooperation in competition, and this kind of relationship usually only exists between politicians and politicians. Of course, there will also be competition and cooperation between some large companies. For example, when PepsiCo and Coca-Cola entered the Chinese market, they had the practice of agreeing on the main sales areas in advance, and although the two companies competed fiercely with each other, they would still maintain a certain degree of cooperation in the face of some common interests, and try to avoid fighting that would cause additional losses. ”

As soon as Gentle explained this, everyone suddenly realized, and King Kong shouted: "I understand......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yi had already glared at him, and King Kong came to his senses and hurriedly whispered in Fa Arabic: "This mission seems to be a competition on the surface, but it has an important difference, that is, it is not like the last regional competition, which is aimed at the last-ranked adventurers, but with a fixed number of points as the erasure standard. In other words, if everyone can work together, it is still possible to achieve that no one is erased. Therefore, this competition task looks like a regional competition on the surface, but it is actually closer to a teamwork task in nature, so it is called a coopetition mode. ”

Zhou Yiyu also said: "Since there is a basis for cooperation, the strength of our mission objectives is of course considered from an overall perspective. Andariel is one of the four demon kings of hell, one is a king and the other is an earl, and it is indeed unlikely that he will be weaker than Dracula. So although it's a slum mission, it's best not to underestimate it. ”

Shen Yi continued: "Lan Yan said that the bloody city needs warriors rather than businessmen, and an excellent warrior should have the courage to face a strong enemy without flinching, so I think this Diablo mission is to force all of us to join forces to challenge the high difficulty, otherwise it is meaningless to open all five difficulties at the same time, and let us challenge them freely." ”

"Damn!" Hong Lang scolded: "Isn't that bad, who can sort out such a complicated relationship? Lao Tzu only knows that the tasks in this are all unique, and if you get it, others won't have it, so what kind of cooperation can you talk about?"

Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "That's the problem." We are standing on an arena that requires a high degree of cooperation, but the final development may be a priority civil war, like ......"

"It's like the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at the time of the Japanese invasion. Zhou Yiyu interjected.

"Is it possible to talk to them? Everyone will work together on a mission, not infighting, and try to maintain vitality as much as possible. Luo Hao asked in a low voice.

Shen Yi shook his head: "There are only six people in our team. On the surface, we are not the strongest. As for advocating cooperation, only the strong party is qualified to put forward it, and the weak party will not pay attention to it even if it is proposed. But for the stronger, cooperation is not necessary, and they can take enough tasks on their own, rather than having to unite with the weak. Even if you want to unite, you can wait until you grab enough benefits before uniting, but by then, everyone's strength has often weakened a lot, and it will be more difficult to challenge high-level tasks, so it's a dead loop. This is also the reason why the relationship between competition and harmony has become the most complex and difficult relationship in human society...... To be honest, even if it's me, I can't put the ready-made benefits and not grab them, but I want to divide them evenly with others, since we understand that we can't do it, how can we expect others?"

Saying that, Shen Yi's gaze had fallen on the team of ten people in the distance, and he saw greed, ambition and a strong desire to compete in the eyes of the other party.

He couldn't help sighing: "It's obviously a coopetition game, but in the end, it will be a zero-sum game." ”

Cooperation by means of competition is, after all, carried out on the basis of a strong core of command. Without this core command, and without the maturity, stability, cultivation and forbearance of politicians, the so-called competition and cooperation relationship is just a joke after all.

Hong Lang pouted his lips with a big grin: "Since this is the case, then compete first, then cooperate, kill when you should kill, and spare when you should be spared." As long as we win enough tasks in the first two arenas, it is not up to us to decide whether or not to break into the advanced zone when the time comes. ”

Although the Broken Blade team is weak on the surface, each team member has already set themselves as truly strong in their hearts, so this strong mentality not only appears on the ten-man team in the distance, but also on the Broken Blade team.

In this regard, Shen Yi smiled slightly: "You are right this time, competition first and then cooperation, there are those who are not eye-opening, they should be killed, they must be killed, this mission always has to kill a group of people, so that everyone can learn to be obedient...... It's up to whoever gets the better luck first. ”

Complicated things, simple to do, this time the flood is right.

At this moment, the Blood Emblem reminded again:

"Camp Rog Six mission is being released. ”

"One: Clear the evil cave and contribute one hundred and fifty points. All participants will have their contribution calculated and will be awarded points based on their contribution after the mission is completed. Kill the corpse and become the Mission-Completer, and receive an additional 150 Bounty Points and 1 Skill Point. ”

"Two: Kill the blood crow and contribute 200 points. All participants will have their contribution calculated and will be awarded points based on their contribution after the mission is completed. Those who kill the blood crow become the task completer, and get an additional 200 bounty points and a mercenary reward with all 25 attributes, mercenaries can be upgraded, and the mission world can be resurrected after death, and after being taken out of this world, it cannot be resurrected after death. ”

"Three: Rescue Decakane and contribute 300 points. All participants will have their contribution calculated and will be awarded points based on their contribution after the mission is completed. The one who rescued Kane became the mission completer and received an additional 300 bounty points and Decca Kane's friendship. ”

"Four: Kill the countess and contribute 400 points. All participants will have their contribution calculated and will be awarded points based on their contribution after the mission is completed. Whoever kills the Countess becomes the Quest Completer, earning an additional 400 Bounty Points and a D-Rank Skill Scroll. ”

"Five: Kill the blacksmith and contribute 500 points. All participants will have their contribution calculated and will be awarded points based on their contribution after the mission is completed. Whoever kills the blacksmith becomes the mission completer, earning an additional 500 bounty points and a double D gear level up scroll to upgrade D equipment to double D rank. ”

"Six: Kill Andariel and contribute 600 points. All participants will have their contribution calculated and will be awarded points based on their contribution after the mission is completed. Whoever kills Andariel becomes the Quest Completer, earning an additional 600 Bounty Points and a C-Tier Equipment Upgrade Scroll to upgrade Double D Tier equipment to C-Rank. ”

Later, a map of the Dark World appeared on the Blood Emblem, marked with six red dots, representing six different locations for mission completion.

This time, the bloody city actually gave everyone the map directly.

Unlike all the quest points in the game, which are all on the same route, the first scene map of the Dark World, including the Blood Wasteland, Icy Plains, Buried Bones, Stone Wilderness, Dark Forest, Black Wasteland, Taymour Heights, and even Tristram, has all been greatly modified, so that adventurers cannot pass through all the quest points at the same time on a single route, and must make certain choices. To a certain extent, this made the infighting dispersed and confined to various lines, so that it did not turn into a full-scale cannibalism, and also laid the foundation for cooperation in the future.

Seeing this series of tasks, everyone smiled bitterly at the same time.

The total points of the six tasks add up to only 4,300, and they are divided into 52 people, each of whom has less than 100 points. In this case, it would be strange if everyone could still have the mind to calm down and talk about cooperation. In any case, this mission is destined to be carried out in the midst of your struggle.
