The changes in the game occurred near the sixth hour. At this time, it was close to six o 'clock in the evening in Beijing. In theory, it should be dinner time. However, the audience was still online at this time because the first round of voting was about to begin.
At this time, the changes in the game also began to appear. It was obvious that when the game approached the six-hour mark, the American team, who was now in first place, suddenly began to slow down. Yes, since an hour ago, the American team's points had not increased.
The current situation of the game was like this. Basically, all the big countries had now conquered the territories of the surrounding countries. Now, the way to earn points was like this. First, they conquered a territory and killed all the people there. Then, they sent a person to stand on top of the territory and not let them resurrect. Then, they sent a large team to find the next territory to conquer. After that, the point collection situation was similar. The team to collect points first went to a territory, then let the person standing on top of the territory walk away slightly and let the people inside resurrect. Then, they collected points. Then, they continued to put that person on top of the territory and not let them resurrect.
Basically, all the teams that could collect points were using this method to collect points. It was not only the American team, the Korean team, and the Indian team. The remaining second-tier national teams were also using this method to collect points. Of course, their speed was much slower than the American team. After all, there were many people in the G6 countries. They could occupy several points, so the points increased very quickly.
When the game was five hours old, the American team's points had already exceeded 100 points. Without a doubt, they had become the first place. After that, the Korean team was also moving towards this point. As for the Hua Xia region, the current points had become 44 points. Their ranking had dropped from the first place to the current seventh place.
At this time, the American team began to stop. In fact, for the whole hour, the American team did not increase any points at all. Of course, the Korean team behind them was getting closer and closer. However, the purpose of the American team was very clear. All the audience also knew what was going on. It was almost time to vote. At this time, the most dangerous thing was the first place. If half of their points were deducted directly, it would be a bit miserable. What the American team was doing now was obviously to let the South Korean team surpass them and win first place. That way, they would have to bear the penalty for the American team.
This goal was a little clear, so even the audience could see it without the commentary. In theory, the South Korean team should be able to understand the goal of the American team. In this case, the easiest way was for the South Korean team to stop as well. That way, the American team would be guaranteed first place. Naturally, they would be the ones to deduct points.
However, something very strange happened. The Korean team did not seem to notice that the American team had stopped scoring. They were still frantically chasing after the points. In such a situation, the South Korean team's score quickly surpassed the American team's. About ten minutes before the voting, the South Korean team finally overtook the American team, temporarily taking first place with 108 points. The American team now had 105 points, followed by India with 94 points.
The South Korean team's actions were a little confusing to the players all over the world. Although it was very good to surpass the American team and obtain first place, it was only for a short while. After a while, the South Korean team would be the one losing out if the votes were cast.
It was impossible to say that the South Korean team did not notice this situation at all. Look at the current situation. This was the Nations Cup. This kind of super low-level mistake would definitely not happen. The South Korean team must have noticed it, but why did they not stop and instead choose to overtake the American team?
Now, no one knew what the South Korean team was thinking. At this time, it was finally the sixth hour of the competition. All the countries still received two points from the system. The final situation was that the South Korean team in first place had 110 points, the American team in second place had 107 points, the Indian team in third place had 96 points, and the Russian team had 74 points. Hua Xia's team was still in seventh place with 46 points. The European Union team was in twelfth place with 20 points. The pitiful Japanese team only had 10 points. They had fallen to the third group of teams.
Battlefield information: The first round of voting begins now. Please note that the national team with the most votes will have half of their current points deducted as a punishment. The voting time is a maximum of 15 minutes. Exceeding the time limit will be treated as a forfeit.
When the time was up, the battlefield information also appeared. At the same time, a floating system bar appeared in front of Li Huailin. Li Huailin looked at it and it was indeed a voting page. All 55 participating countries were in it. He could choose at will and then click confirm. However, he could not see the votes of each country now. He would probably only be able to see it after the voting.
Only the captain could vote. The team members next to him could not vote, but they could also see the status bar. They just could not choose. Seeing that the voting had begun, the members of Hua Xia's team who were resting also gathered around.
"So that's how it is." The moment the voting started, everyone suddenly understood what was going on. It was indeed the Nations Cup. The scheming between the national teams had actually begun now.
"I didn't expect the South Korean team to … do this kind of thing. How could they do it?" The Jade Emperor next to him said, "This time, the American team is in trouble. What should we do? Where should we vote?"
"It doesn't matter where we vote." Li Huailin waved his hand casually. "Anyway, our votes are useless now. Forget it. We'll just vote for ourselves."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. Why would you vote for yourself? However, after thinking about it, it was indeed the case. The vote of Hua Xia's team was indeed useless now. It did not matter even if they voted for themselves. Under such circumstances, everyone let Li Huailin have his fun.
Therefore, Li Huailin happily voted for himself. After about five minutes, it was not even the 15 minutes set by the system. The first round of voting ended. It seemed that if everyone made their choice, the voting time would end immediately.
Battlefield information: The first round of voting has ended. Now counting the votes.
First place: American team, Votes: 25.
Second place: South Korea team, Votes: 9.
Third place: India team, Votes: 5.
Fourth place: Russia team, Votes: 4.
…
Seventh place: Hua Xia's team, Votes: 2.
…
Battlefield information: The voting has ended. The American team is in first place. Half of their points have been deducted. This round of voting has ended. The second round of voting will begin in six hours.
"What?" The result of the voting surprised all the audience. Why did it turn out to be the American team? This was too strange. The Korean team was in first place. Why did they vote for the American team in second place?
Everyone quickly looked at the current point situation. The current first place naturally belonged to the South Korean team. However, the points were a little strange because the South Korean team's points had become 108 points instead of 110 points. They had inexplicably lost two points. What was going on? Could it be that they had been beaten up and lost two points?
"That's not right …" Soon, someone noticed that something was wrong. The current score of the U.S. team was 55 points, not 54 points. This was because the rules of the competition stated that if there was a decimal point in the score, it would be rounded up by default. That meant that the U.S. team originally had 107 points. After deducting 53.5 points, the rounding up should be 54 points. However, it had become 55 points. What was going on?
"So that's how it is." In an instant, a lot of the audience understood. So that's how it was. They actually didn't notice this situation. The only explanation for this was that the Korean team actually gave the American team two points before the voting began.
After giving the United States two points, the South Korean team had 108 points, while the United States team had 109 points. Of course, they had surpassed the South Korean team. The moment the voting interface opened, all the national teams saw that the United States team was in first place. At that time, they had already decided who they would vote for. Anyway, the points of these two countries were no different to them, so they naturally voted for the first place. No one thought that there would be such intrigue.
The scene suddenly became a little interesting. The Korean team's reaction this time was very good. Although they gave the opponent two points, they kept their 50 points and even made the opponent deduct more than 50 points. This was a brilliant move. The audience who was watching the game couldn't help but give the Korean team a thumbs up. They also realized that this game was different from the others. It wasn't just about the fighting strength of the countries. This kind of intrigue was also very interesting to watch.
On the other hand, Li Huailin was a little unhappy because Hua Xia's team didn't actually have one vote, but two. His vote didn't count and someone actually voted for him. What was going on?
"Which national team has nothing better to do and voted for us? What kind of grudge do they have against us?" Li Huailin said.
"It must be the Japanese team," said the Jade Emperor next to him. "Who else could it be other than them?"
"I see. Yes, yes." Li Huailin nodded. "Speaking of the Japanese team, I thought of something else. These guys have 10 points now, right? I don't feel comfortable seeing them with points. It just so happens that everyone has nothing to do now, so let's collect some money."
