(The previous chapter has been changed. My calculation was wrong. It should be 78 matches, 39 days of play, and I suddenly exposed my math skills. Thank you, brothers, for correcting me ~)
…
After the first round, the ranking was out. Devil was in first place, followed by Dynasty. The top three to six teams were all in groups, and they were having a lot of fun in the fish pond. The strong teams in Group C fought each other fiercely, and most of them won by a lot. They did not gain many points, so they were ranked at the bottom. However, there were also strong players in the strong teams. French Tulips in Group C were in seventh place. It seemed a little low, but their opponent was Tomahawk. Swedish esports had always been very strong, and this was also a strong team that had the potential to win the championship. However, for French Tulips to be able to snatch so many points from them, it was really scary.
Han Xiao recalled the first season of the Pro League in his previous life and said, "Yes, the champion of the first season was French Tulips. The strength of this group of people was overwhelming. Their class combination, equipment selection, and skills were almost perfect. Their tactical coordination was flawless. It seems like only Dynasty made it into the top eight in China. The other two teams were in the middle of the rankings and could not make it out."
Looking down, the points of the eighth to the seventeenth place were the same. It was a stalemate.
This was only the first round, so the rankings were not important. Every team still had eleven matches to play, and the final result was still uncertain.
The ratings for the Singles were also very high. Since ancient times, one-on-one battles had been a kind of feeling. Mad Blade barely won the first round, and King Admiral also won. However, Snow-blossoms lost. This person was a big man, and his fans all called him 'Sister Snow'. They all felt sorry for his loss. Among all the Chinese players in the first round, he was the only one who lost.
After the competition, the Chinese players looked for Han Xiao to repair their mechanical suits. During the competition, these professional players did not hesitate to invest a large amount of Enas to strengthen their mechanical equipment. Han Xiao accepted it without hesitation. It was because of the players' hard work that he was able to accumulate nearly 800,000 Enas. It was enough to buy a spaceship.
Of course, it was impossible to buy a spaceship. Why would he buy one if he could freeload?
The competition progressed step by step, and the Chinese team's momentum was very strong. During this period, they also encountered strong teams. Although the battles were difficult, they still won in the end. The equipment that Han Xiao sold to them had been carefully selected. Although the NCO Class Armor was powerful, it was not invincible. The players were all at the maximum level of 60, and they had gathered the best of the best in the region. Their equipment was not bad, and they might have hidden some trump cards that could turn the tide of the competition in one fell swoop.
Although China's raw strength was at the pinnacle, the competition was ever-changing, and there were countless examples of the weak defeating the strong using tactics.
It was impossible for him to sell his core equipment in advance. Han Xiao would not ruin his own sales plan just to improve China's ranking. He did not even understand what was going on in this world, so how could he have the time to control the players' League? Moreover, the League was more of a business opportunity in his eyes. He wanted to see the players participate in the League mainly because he wanted them to show off their excellent equipment and expand his potential customer base. As long as their ranking was not bad, it was enough for him.
After the fierce battles, all the teams had a clearer understanding of their opponents and came up with ways to counter them. China was also targeted.
The strongest part of the Chinese team was the mechanical weapons and mechanical suits that came from Black Star. As long as this was targeted, the threat of the Chinese team would be reduced by a level!
Therefore, the next few opponents that the Chinese team met all changed their class composition and put in many Psychics.
In the early stages, the Psychic class was the biggest nemesis of the Mechanic class. Not only could they control objects, their mental attacks completely ignored physical armor. If it was a Mage class, their mental resistance would be high, and they would be able to block it. Pugilists had good physiques and could reduce the duration of negative statuses. The Esper class could not be treated as an exception. Only the Mechanic class was targeted. They relied on machinery to fight, and their bodies were mostly weak. Psychics could penetrate through the armor and cause direct damage to the user. Furthermore, they had many mental control methods, such as shock, illusion, confusion, and DEUFF. Their attack range was also very long, and they could ignore the terrain.
In the face of such a counter, the uniqueness of the Chinese team showed. Although they were wearing armor, their bodies were Pugilists and Espers. The Psychics weakened the effect of the armor and pulled them down from their peak strength. The problem was, even so, the strength of the Chinese team was still top-notch. Their opponents still had to face a group of ruthless professional players.
Other than the Psychic class, the Mage class's elements, rust, and curses also had a counter effect on mechanical armor. Of course, everything was relative. While they countered the mechanical armor, they were also very weak.
The existence of the armor made these teams have no choice but to put in more effort to deal with it. The strength of the armor was obvious at a glance. This thing could be used by all classes. It was like wearing a turtle shell with thorns on the outside. It had an additional health bar, and it could also deal long-range damage. If the margin for error for normal teams was three, the margin for error for the Chinese team was ten!
The increase was too huge!
Even if there was a certain damage balance, it was impossible to remove the advantage of the Chinese team's equipment.
Actually, mechanical armor was something that basically everyone had when they reached Version 2.0 or 3.0. When everyone was the same, they would start to compete with the performance of the mechanical armor. The difference would not be as big as it was now. Unfortunately, in the first version, there were very few people who sold armor, and they were all half-finished products. For the time being, only Han Xiao's company had a high-quality full set of armor service.
However, the targeting was still effective. The Huaxia team's losses had significantly increased. Everyone was a strong team in their respective regions, and they couldn't win every single time. The following matches were back and forth, with some wins and some losses. It was very exciting.
The rankings on the leaderboard fluctuated every day, tugging at the heartstrings of the viewers from various countries. Dynasty fought against Devil once and won with a slight advantage. They were ranked first in the leaderboard and attracted a lot of attention.
Such a result made the Chinese viewers proud. Every time it was a Chinese competition, they would definitely watch it on the forums. Not only the Chinese viewers, but many foreign viewers were also fans of the Dynasty team. The viewership ratings of the Chinese competition could be ranked in the top three.
Compared to the bleakness of Han Xiao's previous life, it was a complete change.
As for Long Sky and Temple of God in Group C, the situation was not so good. They were constantly hovering between eighth and twelfth place, on the verge of qualifying. The competition was very intense.
…
Juberly Hub, Black Star Mercenary's stronghold.
An unused alloy room had been transformed into a prison cell. Rezar was imprisoned there. His limbs were firmly fixed to the metal bed, and a few syringes were inserted into his body, injecting him with nutrients and sedatives. His eyes were empty, and his face was haggard. He looked like he had been played to the point of being broken.
He was used as material for the extractor. He had no freedom and was almost tortured beyond recognition. The magic that he had just recovered would be sucked away, not giving him any hope at all.
The door opened, and Han Xiao walked in. He glanced at him and did not stop moving. He changed a new set of nutrients and even hummed a tune. He turned a blind eye to Rezar's miserable state like a doctor who was used to seeing life and death. He then took out the extractor and drew blood as usual.
The bright red blood with fluorescent light flowed into the test tube and turned into a new Ability Potion. Han Xiao already had eight sets of potions in his hands.
Rezar turned his head to look at Han Xiao and spoke. His hoarse voice was almost inaudible, filled with deep weakness. "Are you planning to trap me forever …"
"Of course, not forever."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Do you think you can live for that long?"
"Can … ahem, can we make a deal? You set me free, and I can give up everything to work for you. I just want to come to the higher world to satisfy my desire for knowledge. I won't resist working for anyone …" Rezar pleaded.
Han Xiao picked up the new Ability Potion with two fingers and shook it. The sticky red liquid hung on the wall. He turned to look at Rezar and smiled. "I already have everything that you have."
"You! Good! Poison! "
Rezar clenched his teeth. His eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred and deep despair.
"I won't do this to the innocent. If you were a normal person, maybe I would sympathize with you, but you're a villain who almost killed millions of people. Hehe, do you expect me to sympathize with you? That's an insult to the millions of people who almost died because of you. "
Han Xiao's heart did not waver at all. He had experienced the dark period when he was imprisoned by the Germinal Organization and used as experimental material. He understood this feeling very well. He was very happy to inflict it on people like Rezar.
He had never been a kind person, nor was he a good person.
"Wait for the day you die. That kind of release is your last hope."
Han Xiao's tone was calm. He closed the door, leaving Rezar screaming in despair inside. His old and weak body let out a beast-like howl.
Back in his room, Han Xiao cleaned and disinfected the extractor. He lined up all the Ability Potions and put labels on them. With the help of the Pro League, these potions were ready to be sold to the players.
Looking at these potions, Han Technician suddenly had an idea.
"The extractor can only form potions when used on NC. If I extract my own genes … will it work?"
You are using [Super Gene Extractor — Experimental Model] on yourself.
You have received [Ability Potion] x 1
"It really works!" Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. He then looked at his character interface. A [Weakness] UFF was applied to him. It lasted for twelve hours, and all his attributes were reduced by thirty percent. He felt a little weak and sluggish.
He did not mind. He was resting in Juberly Hub. He did not have a chance to fight during this period, so a moment of weakness was not a problem.
"What effect will my Ability Potion have?"
Han Xiao's curiosity was piqued, and he rolled his eyes.
