ACT140: Pre-race preparation
After all his companions had gathered, Weiss told them about the "Super Cup", and the response from everyone in the team was unanimous on the spot, and everyone was full of interest in the game. Kabbalah, who has not yet woken up from a hangover, said that he is willing to work as a consultant and training coach for them "for free".
"Free, master, really?"
"What's the benefit of Lao Tzu lying to you? I'm on a long vacation now, and my wife is separating from me, if I don't find something to do for myself, I'll have to drink and die in the bar!"
In fact, Kabbalah volunteered, and not just because his idle eggs hurt. Goblins are notoriously not trading at a loss, and even brothers have to "settle accounts" with each other, and Kabbalah's pro bono service is largely to please Mrs. Winley.
Kabbalah is affiliated with the "Silver Phoenix" trading house, which in turn is a member of the goblin chaebol and falls under the jurisdiction of the board of directors. In other words, Mrs. Wen Li, who has a very high voice in the board of directors, can be regarded as the boss of the Kabbalah boss! It is definitely beneficial to be able to get into a relationship with her, or her granddaughter, or her granddaughter's "boyfriend".
On the night of the day they agreed to participate in the competition, Mrs. Winley's secretary sent them a form to fill out. On the entire form, there are only team names and the names of members who need to be filled, and even the chess pieces owned by individuals do not need to be filled in, which can be said to be a mess in short.
"Isn't this list too brief?"
"This is deliberate by the organizing committee, and you can interpret this as a kind of novice protection. Kabbalah explained.
"And what should we call the team? Weiss and his happy friends?"
"If you're really going to call this, then don't fight, I'll throw in the towel now. ”
Lena glanced at Weiss angrily, and everyone else felt that the shame of the name was too high, and Weiss said in his heart that he actually planned to call it "Weiss and his harem" at first, but because he was afraid that he would be besieged by the girls if he said it, he changed his name to "little friend".
"And what do you call it? Azure O Iron? Recorded X-Flat, or Fruit Beach?"
To be honest, when it comes to the choice of team names, no one can make up their minds. The reason why the organizing committee requires each participating team to choose a name is that on the one hand, it is to be easy for the audience to remember, and on the other hand, it also wants to generate a new advertising effect. You must know that many teams directly use the names of certain products at the request of sponsors, such as "Master Wang's hairdressing chain", "eight hearts and eight arrows" and the like.
"Or maybe it's called 'Crown of Thorns'! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Weiss finally came up with a more plausible name, and after the others repeated it twice, they also found it acceptable, so they decided on their team name and began to make plans for the next step.
Weiss's team currently has two advantages, the first advantage is that it is the first time to participate in the competition, many teams do not know their team configuration, and the details of those well-known teams can be clearly known by buying a random entertainment magazine on the street. The second advantage is that he has a "scholar" in his team!
At first glance, the profession of a scholar seems to be a "marginal profession" used by the gods to make up the numbers, but this is not the case. Taking Lena as an example, the opponent's CQC skills are definitely "cosmic level"! She can't beat any of Ling Lan, Wendy and Adele in open terrain, but if the place is changed to a small room, both sides are not using "Awakening", and the three of them are not Lena's opponents together.
In the same way, scholars are not useless in the game of Wang Qi, they can transform and upgrade the king's "war court", so that the whole team can gain a greater geographical advantage than their opponents from the beginning!
"Weiss, starting tomorrow, you will have to start 1~2 wars every day, so that the members can get familiar with the environment inside as soon as possible. In addition, when the battle table is issued, you will need to ask Miss Lytis to make a targeted change to the war court based on the opponent's information. Make good use of this advantage, and even make you invincible!"
Kabbalah also participated in 7 Super Cups with his team when he was young, but unfortunately their king qualifications were not good, and the whole team did not have any masters who could take the stage at that time, and the best one was just luck to play the group preliminaries, and the first game of the semi-finals met the championship seed, and was abused by the other party.
Since then, Kabbalah's team has never signed up for the Super Bowl and has focused on the business of the trading company, but that painful experience has also made Kabbalah familiar with the process of the Super Cup, and with his guidance, Weiss and his companions can avoid many detours.
In terms of the composition of the members, Weiss's current team is clearly more melee combat, with knights, chariots, and spearmen, all of which are of the highest level, and they also have a skilled assassin, while Weiss's War Court can effectively hinder the use of archers and warlocks, weakening the ability of these ranged pieces to restrain them.
On the third day after the end of registration, the competition table was announced, and there were only ** teams in the primary group, so the organizing committee decided to cancel the qualifiers and directly adopt the promotion mode. Don't look at the fact that this year's participating teams are only half of those in previous years, but because of the war in Xiyanzhou and the death of the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they have become the only large-scale league held normally this year.
Based on the list and the intelligence gathered, Kabbalah said they were lucky not to run into any strong teams until they advanced to the last eight. Many of last year's strong teams went on to play in more advanced divisions because they recruited new members, and Kabbalah even helped them predict the opponents they might encounter.
"Your first opponent is a team from the North Frost Continent, called 'Swift Fangs', which is a rookie team that is participating for the first time like you, and there are only 6 people, if you play well, it shouldn't be a problem to knock them out. In the second game, if nothing else, they will encounter 'Black Bell', they and Ling Lan are fellow villagers, they have participated in 3 competitions, there are 8 people, and it is said that they are all brothers of the same family, so their cooperation should not be underestimated. However, except for the youngest junior brother who is the king, the rest of them are all swordsmen, and it is not difficult to trap them. ”
For now, Weiss and their luck is not bad, at least until they advance to the round of 16, they can't meet any masters, but the latter may not be so easy to play. In the junior group, there are several "unscrupulous squads", and these guys deliberately maintain the number of people in the team at 8 people, specifically playing the junior group, and they will inevitably encounter these people later.
If the purpose of the competition is just to practice and accumulate some practical experience, Kabbalah suggested that they voluntarily abstain after the third game.
"In the third game, you may encounter the 'Royal Sledgehammer', they are a team of pure dwarves, a total of 7 people, all brothers, and very strong, they were the second place in the junior group last year. You may not be able to beat them, but the good thing is that even if you lose, they won't rob people, because that brother doesn't want outsiders for 7. By the way, these guys are movie stars!"
Movies are a new type of entertainment that has only emerged in recent years, still created by human beings, and then carried forward by goblins. After these seven brothers won the runner-up in the junior group of last year's Super Cup, they were selected by a film company and participated in the filming of a movie called "Snow White", which became an instant hit!
However, what makes Weiss want to complain is that he also watched this movie with his companions the day before yesterday, and the movie tells the story of a princess named Bai Xue, who met 7 dwarven masters on the way to escape and restored the country with their help...... Screenwriter: Are you really sure that this is "Snow White" and not "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain"? And this kind of urine surname that forcibly changes a child's bedside story into a "historical action movie" is learned from which dimensional film company? )
