Ye Shaoyang turned on his computer and searched for God Wars.
The dense search results gave him a fright.
It was now the era of e-sports, and gaming had become a pastime for many people in their spare time. More than 60% of young people played games, and the number of active gamers in China alone had exceeded the 200 million mark.
There were a total of eight divisions in the world — North America, Europe, Korea, China, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the wild card division.
The China region was one of the largest regions in the world. There were 18 teams in the top league, and they would be eliminated at the end of every season. There were countless teams in the secondary league, and there were thousands of professional players officially registered in the Professional Alliance.
Among them, the most popular professional player was Chi Shuo. He was the current captain of the Tianhuan Squad. Whenever he posted on Weibo, the number of reposts and comments would easily exceed six figures.
In this world, the popularity and treatment of E-Sports players did not lose out to that of superstars. Their recognition by the public was also quite high. If he could win a world championship, he would be the center of attention and glory.
It was currently Season 9 of Battle of the Gods.
Unlike the games Ye Shaoyang played in the past, which had spring and summer competitions, Clash of Gods had pre-season and regular season competitions in the first half of the year. In the middle of the year, there would be all-stars and individual and two-player competitions. In the second half of the year, there would be playoffs and the World Series.
The playoffs of the ninth season would officially begin on September 1st. Today was already the 20th of August. They definitely wouldn't be able to make it this season. If he worked hard, he should be able to enter this brand new battlefield as a professional player in Season 10 next year!
Although he had played eSports for a few years, he would still face the problem of not being able to acclimatize to a new game all of a sudden. He needed to seriously understand the rules of the new game, train a few more heroes that he was good at, and watch more videos of the Pro League to ensure that he wouldn't drop the ball at critical moments.
Ye Shaoyang opened the game icon on the desktop.
Judging from the gorgeous login animation, Divinity Wars was a fantasy game. The opening animation was about the angels attacking the demons, and a mysterious shadow among the demons was reborn in the abyss. The game version was called "Abyss Awakening". This mysterious shadow should be a new character in the current version.
The opening animation lasted for 30 seconds before the game hall popped up.
The game interface was very simple. In the upper left corner was the character information bar. Ye Shaoyang's account ID was also "Little White," and his avatar was his Ragdoll cat. At the bottom, there were menus for functions such as Shop, Heroes, Friends, and Battle Teams. In the middle, there were four halls. They were divided into the Ladder Ranking Competition, the Arena Hall, and the Training Camp.
Ye Shaoyang clicked on the Heavenly Stairway Ranking Competition, and a notification popped up in front of his eyes: Welcome Player Xiao Bai to the Heavenly Stairway Ranking Competition. Season 9-3 of the God Wars has begun. Your record in the ranking competition is 0 wins and 3 losses. Current rank: Bronze Rank 1.
Ye Shaoyang casually clicked on the rank description.
According to the player's level, the ladder was divided into seven stages: Bronze Stage 1, Silver Stage 2, Gold Stage 3, Platinum Stage 4, Diamond Stage 5, Master Stage 6, and Challenger Stage 7. This was similar to League of Legends.
The difference was that there were two more stages above Stage 7. They were Glory Stage 8 (an honorary title awarded by the National Professional League Champion) and Glory Stage 9 (an honorary title awarded by the World League Champion).
In other words, one could fight their way up from Bronze to Challenger. However, Stage 8 and Stage 9 were "honorary titles" awarded by the officials after winning the Professional League Champion. Ordinary players would not be able to obtain them, no matter how strong they were.
Of course, ordinary players would not dare to hope for such professional titles. Stage 8 National Champion and Stage 9 World Champion symbolized the highest level of the Professional League.
The ranking competition in the game was a competition for all new players to participate in. According to the results of the competition, the system would redistribute the initial ranks of the new players. For example, if an expert opened a smurf account and won all three rounds of the ranking competition, he could be directly assigned to Platinum Stage 4 and start to level up from Platinum. For example, when he lost three times in a row, he had to start from the lowest Bronze Stage and slowly climb up.
When he had just transmigrated today, the match he played was the ranking competition. A professional player named "Fanxing" had created a smurf account to participate in the newcomer ranking competition. It just so happened that they had bumped into each other.
Ye Shaoyang searched "Fanxing's" live broadcast room and clicked "Follow".
After reading the general information, he got up and poured a glass of water. He settled Little White on the sofa next to him and sat back at the table. He clicked on the training camp in the game and started a game of Man-Machine Competition.
The game interface loaded, and the system voice sounded in his ears: Please choose the hero to use in this game.
His account only had five heroes at the moment.
Ye Shaoyang looked at the description and randomly chose a female Mage character.
The rules of a 5v5 tower pushing game were all the same. He was very familiar with this type of game. However, the map, hero skills, and data settings in the new game were different. He needed to understand them all again.
For example, the distribution and HP of the monsters in the wild, the time of the spawning of each wave of monsters and the kill rewards, the location and respawn interval of the blue and red buffs, the price of each piece of equipment in the equipment warehouse and the synthesis method, and so on. These were all different from the games he had played before. He had to memorize them all again.
For a professional player, it was very important to remember these precise data.
Ye Shaoyang created a table on the computer and observed while recording. The game of Man-Machine Competition turned into a fight between nine AI robots. As the only player, Ye Shaoyang was nowhere to be seen. The opposing robots defeated his robots in a 5v4 and quickly lost the game.
Ye Shaoyang started another game and continued recording the data in the equipment warehouse.
This took more than an hour.
It was getting dark outside. Ye Shaoyang rubbed his sore neck and saved the table. He then opened the official website and searched for all the heroes on the "Game Information Website."
There were more than a hundred heroes in Divinity Wars. The densely packed heroes' avatars were dazzling. Ye Shaoyang was a professional mid laner. He loved to play mid lane, so he first checked the "Mid Mage" category.
The avatars of 12 Mage heroes appeared on the screen.
Destroyer Mage, Saint Mage, Sun Mage, Moonlight Mage, Sky Mage, and Earth Mage. Six male characters.
Frost Goddess, Flame Goddess, Storm Goddess, Thunder Goddess, Ocean Goddess, and Destiny Goddess. Six female characters.
There were more than a hundred heroes. There should be more than these 12 heroes in the mid lane.
Ye Shaoyang continued to check the "Spell Damage" option. Then, a bunch of heroes popped up. Succubus, Elf Summoner, Mechanic, Spellcaster of Curse, High Priest, Spiritualist, and so on. There were a total of 25 heroes with spells. The hero "Lord of the Abyss" in the latest version of the game was also a Spell Damage hero.
This ratio was reasonable.
To become an outstanding mid laner player, he first had to practice these 25 Spell Damage heroes. He also had to be proficient in at least eight heroes that were suitable for competition. This would broaden his pool of heroes.
Of course, this was not a task that could be completed in a day.
Even if he was named the "Most Valuable Mid Laner Player" in the previous world, he still had to practice repeatedly before he dared to use the new heroes in the new version of the game. Moreover, this was a brand new game.
Ye Shaoyang created another table on the computer and quickly entered the information of the heroes in the database. It was his habit to personally organize information and read it at any time. This could deepen his memory.
He spent the whole afternoon organizing the information.
The first table recorded the various accurate values in the game and the information of the equipment library. The second table recorded the characteristics and skill data of hundreds of heroes. Then, he saved the table to his phone. This way, if he encountered anything he was not clear about in the future, he could open the table and look it up directly. It would save him a lot of trouble.
Students had to organize review materials for exams. If he wanted to walk the path of e-sports again, he had to show a serious attitude.
It was 7: 30 in the evening when he finished organizing all the information. Ye Shaoyang was just about to order takeout when his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed "Qin Yue." He hurriedly pressed the answer button. "Cousin, are you looking for me?"
Qin Yue's voice was gentle. "Are you home? I have something to discuss with you. "
"Go ahead."
"You have a spare room in your house, right?"
"Yes, I do."
"My younger brother Qin Rui was admitted to Star City University this year. School will start in a few days. His school is very close to yours. If it's convenient, can you let him stay at your place for a while? My parents are worried about letting him stay at school. "
"..." Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a moment before he understood. His cousin Qin Yue must have thought that he had psychological problems and was worried about him staying at home alone, so he sent his younger brother to accompany him. Moreover, he had not differentiated yet. It was indeed not safe to stay at home alone. Being close to school and staying for a while were all excuses.
Ye Shaoyang wanted to know more about this world. If his cousin moved in with him, he could ask his younger brother directly if he had any questions. His younger brother went to school during the day, so it would not affect his gaming.
He could kill two birds with one stone. There was no need to refuse.
"No problem. Let him come and stay." Ye Shaoyang agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll drive Little Wei over later. Please take care of him in the future."
"It's my duty." Ye Shaoyang said angrily.
Qin Yue was silent for a few seconds and said, "By the way, Rui Rui just differentiated into Omega some time ago. I gave him a strong inhibitor. His pheromone state is now very stable. Moreover, you two are related by blood. His pheromone will not affect you. You can rest assured."
"... Oh." Ye Shaoyang scratched his head awkwardly.
He was still unfamiliar with terms like differentiation and pheromone.
Younger brother of Omega?
The kind of boy with glands behind his neck that could give birth to babies? Ye Shaoyang was very curious.
It was a good opportunity to find this younger brother to learn more about Omega. His current physiological knowledge was all based on popular science found on Baidu. He still did not understand most of the strange terms.
Although he felt that his personality should differentiate into a domineering Alpha.
But what if? If there was a 50% chance of him becoming Omega, he should at least know how to deal with it!
