Chen Guo finished speaking with her father and was about to leave, when she discovered that Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng had already returned and were waiting for her.
"Ah … you guys are so fast." Chen Guo was surprised.
Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng smiled, but didn't say anything. Chen Guo looked at the time and was even more surprised: "It's already been so long!" Looking at the time, she realized that it wasn't Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng who were fast, but she was too slow.
"It looks like this year has been very fulfilling …" Chen Guo glanced back at her father's tombstone and happily muttered to herself.
The three immediately returned. On the way back, they chatted, but it was still the same topic. But when it came to the offline matches, Chen Guo felt a bit awkward, because Su Mucheng would actually be their opponent in the offline matches. She couldn't get used to this. But seeing Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng chatting without any hindrance, Chen Guo was very curious about Su Mucheng's current mood. Chen Guo didn't believe that Su Mucheng would have even one percent of a preference for Excellent Era. But if that was the case, how would she stand on the stage? Chen Guo felt very conflicted just thinking about it. In the end, when the two sides separated, she couldn't ask.
After Qingming, there were only two weeks left.
The request to trade materials with the three guilds was finally approved. Moreover, the cooperative relationship between Happy and their guilds had clearly been accepted by their Clubs. When Happy took the initiative to propose a trade, the three guilds didn't take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price. In the end, they happily reached an agreement on the exchange of materials.
Ye Xiu used a few rare items from the Heavenly Domain to trade for a batch of rare materials in the normal server. The Silver weapon, Dancing Fire Flowing Flame, was immediately put into production. The process went smoothly. Happy finally had a third Level 70 Silver weapon after the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and Death's Hand.
Dancing Fire Flowing Flame.
Weight: 3.3 kg, Durability: 33, Attack Speed: 4
Physical Attack: 920, Magic Attack: 635
Strength + 57
Attack Speed + 1
Physical Critical Hit Rate + 12
Fire attribute attack increased by 11%
Fire Chaser Level + 3
[When attacking, there is a 5% chance to generate an additional Flowing Flame.]
Compared to Han Yanrou's Level 75 Orange grade spear, Falling Cloud Piercer, Dancing Fire Flowing Flame's Basic Attack was slightly higher, and it also provided an additional 2 points of Strength. In addition, its weight is 0.2kg and its attack speed is 1kg higher. Weight and durability were directly linked. However, in a normal match, a 30 durability battle spear was sufficient. 33 durability was not much of a disadvantage compared to 35 durability, but the lighter weight could be seen as a small advantage. The lighter the weight, the lower the weight of the character. This was an all-around increase in speed, even though the effect of 0.2kg was very small. A difference of at least 1 point in Attack Speed wasn't small at all for professional players.
Apart from these, Attack Speed + 1 and Physical Critical Rate + 12 were the same. In addition, Falling Cloud Piercer had the Light attribute, while Dancing Fire Flowing Flame had no attribute. However, because it had an 11% increase in Fire attribute attack, if Dancing Fire Flowing Flame had the Fire attribute, then it would definitely be a powerful increase. However, right now, there were some limitations to the Fire attribute. The only Battle Mage skills that had an attribute were Magic Chasers, and the only Fire attribute skill was Fire Chasers. This strengthening skill was a bit weak.
Self-made equipment shouldn't have such weak support attributes, but Ye Xiu still made it like this. He naturally had his own plans. Currently, Dancing Fire Flowing Flame hadn't been able to figure out how to create the "Fire attribute", but with Ye Xiu's research and understanding of Level 75 materials, he was confident that when Dancing Fire Flowing Flame reached Level 75, it would have the "Fire attribute". As a result, the 11% increase in Fire attribute attack would become an extremely outstanding strengthening attribute.
Apart from this, Fire Chaser Level + 3 was an attribute that increased the level of a skill. With this attribute, even if the skill had already reached the highest level in the skill tree, it could still be increased. In the case of the Fire Chaser, the highest grade after the new expansion pack was Ninth Grade. If equipped with Dancing Fire Flowing Flame, the highest grade could reach was Twelfth Grade. Moreover, the Third Grade increase from Dancing Fire Flowing Flame did not cost a character skill point.
Not only did Fire Chasers have high attack power, but they also gave a Strength buff that directly strengthened a Battle Mage's damage output. Leveling up to Level 3 had many benefits.
Finally, the 5% chance to create Flowing Flame was an attribute that Ye Xiu had made. Of course, he knew what it was and had considered Tang Rou's playstyle and preferences. When choosing, Tang Rou had also given her opinion, and in the end, he had decided on the Flowing Flame effect.
With Dancing Fire Flowing Flame and 5 pieces of Silver equipment, Han Yanrou now had 6 pieces of Silver equipment. However, among Battle Mages, One Leaf Of Autumn was known as the number one character in Glory. Of course, this was partly due to the three consecutive championships in the Excellent Era, but it couldn't be denied that One Leaf Of Autumn's ability to lead the Alliance in terms of battle prowess was also closely related to the three consecutive championships in the Excellent Era. One Leaf Of Autumn had established her name at that time and hadn't fallen behind for many years. Naturally, she was still considered the number one character. Han Yanrou currently had 6 pieces of Silver equipment, which was already the average for characters in the Alliance. However, compared to One Leaf Of Autumn, she was still far from it. One Leaf Of Autumn had a total of 12 pieces of Silver equipment. She was still missing one piece.
And this was when Ye Xiu had been around. He wasn't too sure what One Leaf Of Autumn looked like now. After all, every player was different. When Ye Xiu had been around, One Leaf Of Autumn had been missing a Badge to be fully equipped with Silver equipment. It wasn't that Excellent Era couldn't create Silver equipment, but Ye Xiu felt that the Orange equipment used at that time was more suitable. Now that One Leaf Of Autumn was controlled by Sun Xiang, perhaps because of different habits, the Badge might have been changed to Silver equipment.
As for whether One Leaf Of Autumn had upgraded to Level 75 Silver equipment, Ye Xiu didn't know. But even if it did, it wouldn't be a lot. This was because ever since the update, Ye Xiu had been targeting Excellent Era in the Heavenly Domain's various boss fights. The goal of this strategy was to prevent Excellent Era's equipment from improving during this period of time. This way, Happy could rely on Level 75 Orange equipment to greatly close the gap between them.
So far, Ye Xiu's strategy had been extremely successful. This strategy was like cutting off the enemy's supply line during a battle, making Excellent Era feel very uncomfortable. No matter how skilled Excellent Era's technology was, they couldn't do anything without materials. Of course, if Excellent Era was willing to spend money to buy materials, then Ye Xiu wouldn't be able to control it. Although Level 75 materials were extremely important to the top teams, in the increasingly commercial Alliance, too many bosses were looking for money. When they saw a tempting price, it wasn't impossible for them to directly sell the materials they had. This was especially true for small and mid-sized teams, whose results weren't stable. Relying on results to obtain long-term income sometimes didn't move them. Instead, they were more interested in short-term profits. If Excellent Era really did take this route, they would lose a lot of money, but it would solve some of their problems.
The last two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. These two weeks could be considered the last time for everyone to consolidate their foundations. And in these two weeks, Happy didn't add any new equipment.
New equipment would cause a character's stats to change. For high-end matches, these changes required time to get used to. Although the Challenger League couldn't be compared to the Pro League, it was still worth paying attention to the offline matches. Moreover, their final opponent was a strong opponent like Excellent Era, so they couldn't overlook this detail.
On April 19th, Happy's group boarded a plane to City B. The Alliance's headquarters was also in this city. In the offline matches, all of the participating teams would be gathered together. The Alliance would be in charge of food and lodging, so the treatment was quite good.
As for the matches ….. The Alliance had just started using holographic projections this season, so they clearly didn't have such luxurious arrangements for the Challenger League. Everything would be the same as before. However, it was said that a new format would be used for the elimination matches after the group stage. It was said that if everything went well, it might even be used in the Alliance's playoffs.
Happy's group arrived at City B. Lou Guanning had already sent someone to pick them up. However, today was Saturday, so Heavenly Swords still had a match, so Lou Guanning himself didn't come. The person who came was Sun Zheping, the former number one Berserker. According to the agreement, he would be helping Team Happy. During these days, even though Sun Zheping was with Heavenly Swords, his Another Summer of Sleep would often interact with Happy's group in-game. Since they were going to compete together, it was necessary for the players to get to know each other better. Sun Zheping had even fought pro teams with Happy's group before. However, because of his injury, he couldn't participate in this kind of high-intensity training too much.
However, Sun Zheping was an experienced veteran player. The limited amount of practice they had together was enough for him to integrate into the team.
The Alliance arranged for them to stay in a hotel. When Happy's group arrived, they saw that there were a few people gathered there. There were a total of 20 teams in the offline matches. According to the standards of a pro team, there were at least 200 players. However, most of them were from player teams. Even though they were quite strong, they couldn't compare to pro teams. Almost half of the teams only had six players, which was the minimum number.
On Happy's side, including Sun Zheping, they had 11 players, which was the standard number for a pro team. As soon as they entered, they went to the check-in area. When the other players counted, they all felt that they were very professional.
"You are?" The Alliance's receptionist took the initiative to greet them. But before Ye Xiu and the others could answer, a person had already squeezed his way over: "Sister Chen, Sister Chen, you're here!!"
Happy's group turned their heads to look. It was Esports Home's reporter Chang Xian from City H's reporter station.
It was finally time for the offline matches. This kid seemed especially excited because Esports Home would only have a special section for the Challenger League when it came to the offline matches. However, the offline matches were usually held in City H, so Esports Home had quite a few reporters. Usually, they would just send two to follow the matches.
However, this year's Challenger League had Excellent Era and Happy's group. As a result, City H's reporters also requested to follow the team. How could a Challenger League team follow a team reporter? This kind of treatment made Esports Home a little apprehensive. However, they also knew that the reporters in City H's reporter station were a little lonely this season. Moreover, Cao Guangcheng was indeed the team reporter for Excellent Era, so in the end, they still approved.
