The CUAA finals were not held at Swallow Capital University, but at the Seven Trees Gymnasium. The organizers had even specially invited the famous host, Xia Ke, to attend. It was quite impressive.
Eighty percent of the audience were college students, and they were all from Beijing University. In this match, one team was a dark horse team from another city, and the other was a strong team from Beijing. Who would the students from Beijing University support? They had a vague preference in their hearts.
Of course, this preference was not obvious, except for the students from Swallow Capital University.
The other twenty percent of the audience, in addition to the media reporters, were observers from various guilds. They were responsible for observing and discovering good seedlings in the University League and signing them into their guild teams. They were similar to scouts from another time and space.
For the Jinghai University team, this was considered half an away game. However, Bai Xiaowen was mentally prepared for this. They had been playing away games all the way here.
"Student Bai Xiaowen, Jinghai University's national ranking is 30 +. As a team at the bottom of the national competition, you have defeated many opponents along the way. Now, you are finally standing on the stage of the finals. Is there anything you would like to say to the audience at this moment? "
There was a short interview before the match. This was not an interview by the media reporters, but by the host, Xia Ke, to raise a few questions. The purpose was to hype up the atmosphere of the finals.
Xia Ke asked the first question calmly. It was not good to be particularly sharp at the beginning. She had already prepared several sensitive questions in her heart to ignite the sparks between the two teams. This way, the match would be more interesting.
Bai Xiaowen, who was standing on the stage and being interviewed, glanced at Ouyang Heng across Xia Ke.
Ouyang Heng looked at Bai Xiaowen with eyes that were definitely not friendly. They were burning with … hostility.
Yes, it was hostility, not the so-called "fighting spirit" — there was a difference between the two. Bai Xiaowen's mental perception was very sharp, and he clearly grasped Ouyang Heng's mentality. He glanced down the stage and saw Qiao Rui among the remaining four members of the Swallow Capital University team.
"I heard from Qiao Qi that Ouyang Heng is also from a big family in Beijing, and they are on par with the Qiao family. The two families seem to have the intention to marry Ouyang Heng and Qiao Rui. Senior Qiao Rui is very good to me, so it is inevitable that Ouyang Heng will be jealous. "
For some reason, Bai Xiaowen felt uncomfortable when he thought of the marriage between Ouyang Heng and Qiao Rui.
"There is no need to think so much. Senior Sister Qiao Rui's concern for me was more like an older sister's concern for her younger brother. As for the feelings between a man and a woman, it was far from that. In addition, the Qiao faction probably doesn't want Senior Sister Qiao Rui to be with me. Putting aside the family, I already have Shuyi by my side. "
Although in the Era, the Awakened Strong King, if the girl's family, they would not be willing to see their daughter's and Qiao Rui share a husband.
This thought lingered in Bai Xiaowen's mind for less than 0.1 seconds before it was forcibly dispelled.
Xia Ke asked Bai Xiaowen a question, and the latter suddenly became the focus of the audience.
"Jinghai University's team is currently ranked at the bottom of the National League. It is reasonable for everyone to say that we are a dark horse. But after today's game, no one will mention the word 'dark horse' again. We … "
Bai Xiaowen slowed down his speech and glanced at his teammates one by one.
Li Shuyi, Xiang Hui, Han Xu, Feng Ziang …
"… will be crowned as king."
The stadium was silent for a while, and then sporadic applause sounded. Then, the applause seemed to be contagious and instantly swept through the entire audience.
"Hey, although the captain's lines are a bit chuunibyou, they seem to be very contagious! Could it be that being handsome is justice, and that everything a good-looking person says is reasonable? "Feng Zi-ang muttered.
"… What chuunibyou, this is how it should be," Xiang Hui said.
"I think … the captain seems to have become a bit different after the pharmacist competition. You see, before he went on stage, he took out a picture scroll and recited a poem. I'm afraid he's suffering from the literary disease," Chen Guowei muttered.
Li Shuyi put his hand on his forehead.
On the stage, Xia Ke was a bit surprised. She was originally worried that Bai Xiaowen would be low-key.
"Bai Xiaowen, you mean you are confident that you can beat the defending champion, Yan University?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
Xia Ke said, "I've learned that you and Yan University's captain, Ouyang Heng, are currently the first and second best sellers on the virtual battle platform. Because of your two characters, Psychic Prince and Marine Admiral, the players on the virtual battle platform are divided into two factions. They are arguing about who is stronger … Is there such a thing?"
This wave of ads was a bit of a soft product placement.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "There is such a thing. However, we can't completely determine who is stronger just by relying on this competition. After all, the competition is a team competition … Awakened ones have different positions, so there is no absolute difference in strength. "
"Okay, thank you for your answer, Bai Xiaowen …"
Xia Ke turned to look at Ouyang Heng and asked a similar question.
Ouyang Heng said with a cold face, "I don't agree with Bai Xiaowen's words just now. Of course, there are strong and weak Awakened ones. The competition is the best touchstone. On the player platform, the Psychic Prince is priced at 99 yuan, which is more than a third of Marine Admiral. As the top-tier template with the highest price among intermediate Awakened ones, you have to make the fans feel that it is worth it, right? "
After a pause, Ouyang Heng revealed a provocative smile and said, "If the team you lead can't beat me, then the price of your character is a bit too high."
In the face of Ouyang Heng's provocation, Bai Xiaowen was not angry and smiled slightly.
"Senior Ouyang, since you are so confident, why don't we directly choose the Defender Mode?"
There was a burst of cheers from the audience. The two sides were at daggers drawn. The two captains wanted to fight one-on-one. It was really exciting.
Ouyang Heng snorted and said, "Okay, you should ask if the rules allow it?"
Xia Ke hurriedly said, "Students, the mode of the finals is randomly selected. It can't be directly specified."
Ouyang Heng spread his hands and said, "The rules are like this, so there is no need to talk about it. In addition, one-on-one is the competition mode I look down on the most. There is no team to speak of. The trend of future Awakened battles is to fight in teams. Being able to win the championship in a team battle is the greatest affirmation of a captain's ability. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and did not expose Ouyang Heng's stubbornness.
After two one-on-five victories against Jiangnan University and Tsinghua University, Bai Xiaowen had already proven his strength in the Defender Mode. No one could compete with him. If Ouyang Heng was willing to fight one-on-one in the Defender Mode, Bai Xiaowen would have to doubt his IQ.
"Well, it seems that both captains are very confident in their teams. Then let's look forward to their wonderful performance later!"
Xia Ke said some polite words first. She was actually a little confused. She didn't expect Ou Yangheng to be so hostile towards Bai Xiaowen. She didn't even need to guide him. There was already a hint of gunpowder on the stage. This was rare. It was better to quickly get to the point.
"The first game, the guessing round begins …"
The result of the guessing round was Ouyang Heng's victory. Bai Xiaowen did not change his mind. He disabled the Conquest Mode of the solo competition. Next, it was Ouyang Heng's turn.
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Ouyang Heng hesitated for a second. "I choose to disable the Defender Mode … The real exciting game will be decided in the team battle."
There was a low sound of "tsk". The audience was not stupid. Of course, they knew what Ouyang Heng was afraid of.
However, Ouyang Heng looked down and did not move at all. He had already mentally prepared himself to be booed. No matter what, the KOF Mode had to be banned.
In a competitive game, being weak was the original sin. As long as he could win, everything was fine. If he forcefully challenged the opponent's strength and eventually lost the game, no one would say that Ouyang Heng lost honorably. They would only say that he was an iron head.
The two of them banned the two modes of the solo competition. Next, they would choose from four team battle modes.
A gong sounded and finally, the modes on the big screen were locked.
Xia Ke said, "The first game will use the True Slaughter Mode. Next, Ouyang Heng, please disable the terrain … "
"Disable the plains." This time, Ouyang Heng chose very quickly.
Bai Xiaowen then disabled the water battle mode. Ou Yangheng's profession's specialty would provide him with a strong boost in water battles.
Xia Ke pressed the button and disabled the two terrains. Then, she began to draw the game's terrain. Finally, the icon on the big screen showed the scene of a high-rise building.
"The final terrain of the game is: City. Players from both sides, please enter the stage and wait for the game to begin … "
During the waiting time, the advertisements were broadcast. The audience, who were waiting in front of the live stream and TV, rushed to the virtual community's comment section and the virtual battle platform's message board to start a big discussion.
"Ouyang Heng is too disappointing. He actually banned the KOF Mode. He admits that he can't beat Bai Xiaowen in a one-on-one."
"It seems that the price of the Psychic Prince character is high for a reason."
Among the "cowardly" comments on the bullet screen, some people calmly analyzed. "Those who are cowardly will save your breath. Yan University has two hero professions and is invincible in team battles. Why should they fight Jinghai University one-on-one?"
"Yes, Ouyang Heng banned the KOF Mode. It's a very wise choice."
"Even so, Ouyang Heng can't win. Our Xiaowen is the strongest."
"Let's wait for Ouyang Heng to be destroyed by Wen."
"Are the people upstairs awake? Yan University is invincible in team battles. They have the advantage in all five positions."
"They're just die-hard fans of Bai Xiaowen. Don't worry about them."
…
Bai Xiaowen had a lot of fans. Most of them were girls. They were loyal to him because of his looks. Only a small number of boys were convinced by Bai Xiaowen's strength.
After all, Bai Xiaowen's charm was not universal. Since there were girls who liked him, there were naturally boys who hated him. The anti-fans did not have a unified organization and had not formed a climate. However, as time passed, they began to consciously band together and slander Bai Xiaowen in various ways.
It was not easy to find flaws in Bai Xiaowen. He was strong in his Hero class and had never been defeated in the University League. He was also handsome and had a slender figure. He had also just won first place in the International Pharmacologist Conference. He was perfect in all aspects.
Therefore, the anti-fans took a different approach and dug up Bai Xiaowen's dark history. Beating up underage girls, bullying classmates, and killing compatriots (Zhao Zhixiong) …
The anti-fans did not care about the cause and effect. Their strength was to make a big fuss out of snippets.
Sister Zheng had already noticed this trend, but she did not have any good ideas. If she tried to clarify this so-called dark history, she would only be criticized as a party that cleansed the ground and paid posters. There was no reason to argue.
Now, Sister Zheng could only help Bai Xiaowen with positive publicity. The best way to deal with the anti-fans who did not have much influence was to ignore them.
…
Soon, the urban terrain of the Psionic Ability Training Ground was formed. The two teams entered one after another.
Bai Xiaowen and his team of five appeared on the rooftop of a tall building.
Bai Xiaowen immediately activated his mental senses.
"Have you found their location?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
"That means that they are at least a kilometer away from us in a straight line," Feng Ziang analyzed.
"No, we have to consider the factor of mental power shielding," Bai Xiaowen said calmly. "Senior Qiao Rui's mental attribute is similar to mine. To a certain extent, she can shield us from detection."
Mental power users were like the radar of a battleship. They could search for traces of the enemy within a certain range. On the other hand, mental power users could also cover the entire team with their mental power so that the enemy's mental power users could not detect them.
Although he could not detect the location of Yan University's school team, Bai Xiaowen was confident that they would not be able to detect his team's location.
A mental power user was the eyes and ears of a team. A perfect team of five must have a mental power user. This was the standard.
"Let's go down first. It's not safe up there. "Bai Xiaowen waved his hand. The group of people walked along the corridor of the building and quickly went downstairs.
The city battlefield was empty. Other than the special terrain, the victory condition was exactly the same as any other terrain. They had to kill all five opponents. This was also the simplicity of the CUAA league.
If it were a professional league, the city terrain would be different first, and there would be a lot of generated virtual citizens. Secondly, the victory conditions were different. For example, both sides of the battle had to ensure that they did not cause any accidental injuries to the citizens, or protect or destroy a certain building, etc.
The CUAA league followed the rules of the professional league. However, the specific difficulty was simpler and clearer than the professional league.
A few minutes later, Jinghai University's school team set foot on the city streets. The streets were full of abandoned vehicles. It looked disorderly.
"We don't know where the enemy is. How should we get there?" Li Shuyi asked.
"Let's find the city planning map first. According to the information before the game, the psionic training ground generated a map with a diameter of three kilometers, "Bai Xiaowen said." It's not big for the awakened ones. We might encounter them at the next corner. Stay alert. "
Han Xu walked in front without hesitation.
At a bus stop, the five of them found the city planning map. According to the landmark buildings, Bai Xiaowen quickly found their current location. They were in the southwest area of the city.
