After three days of hard work, Feng Bujue finally finished designing the story for June. The outline, details, and foreshadowing had been confirmed. All that was left was the simple writing process and some improvisation. He only needed to finish that in the next twenty days.
Over the past few days, Xiao Tan had contacted him several times to update him on his teammates. Passing Rain had recovered from her illness two days ago and had come online yesterday. However, Chen Ge heard that she did not plan to join the competition because she was not interested. Laughing Soul, on the other hand, came up with a set of probability theory that sounded quite 'reliable' … After some calculation, she believed that she would at most get into the top hundred. Considering the fact that the prize for the top hundred could be bought with RMB and she did not expect to become famous through this competition, she was too lazy to join it.
Xiao Tan was quite passionate about this competition, but unfortunately, he was the weakest in Underworld Frontline. Even though Laughing Soul did not pour cold water on him, she still did not have high hopes for him.
So, let's talk about Xiao Tan's current situation.
Wang Tanzhi, ID: Wang Tanzhi, Level: 30, Title: Whirlwind Nightmare
Mastery: General Ability D, Workmanship E, Sleuthing C, Fighting C, Marksmanship E, Medic E, Sorcery E, Summoning NA
Skills: 【Devil Bat Ghost Shadow】【Rootless Guest Worries】【Wind Stops Dust】【Reverse Spinning Slash】【Flying Lizard Traces】 (Title Ability)
Even though the names of these skills sounded cool, the actual effect was not that strong.
The first choice was …
— — — Name: Rootless Guest Worries
Skill Card Type: Active, Permanent
Skill Type: Sleuthing
Effect: When you are in a crowd, gain the ability to go invisible (No cooldown)
Consumption: 3 Stamina Points per second
Learning Requirement: Sleuthing D
Remark: What to do when there is no crowd?
This was similar to the skill in Assassin's Creed that allowed one to sneak into a crowd of pedestrians. The skill's remark was quite sarcastic.
Now …
[Name: Feng Zhichen's Fragrant Flowers Are Gone]
Skill Card Type: Active, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
Effect: Leave behind an afterimage that lasts for three seconds (One second cooldown)
Consumption: 50 Stamina Points
[Learning Requirement: Fighting D or Level 27]
[Remark: Things remain the same, but people have changed.]
That's right, after Lu You, Li Qingzhao was also shot.
This skill, which was basically a weakened version of Afterimage Punch, actually had such a poetic name. The remarks even matched the name …
As for the next two skills, one of them was bought.
After the Sword Duel at Chang Lin, Xiao Tan sold the Vending Machine Basher that he had picked up from the scenario. He used the same amount to buy Reverse Spinning Slash from the Auction House and made it his main offensive skill.
This kind of skill that was put up for auction naturally wouldn't be that strong.
[Name: Reverse Spinning Slash]
Skill Card Attribute: Active, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
[Effect: Perform a high-speed spinning slash (Cooldown: 1 minute, requires user to wield a sharp weapon and stand on a flat surface to cast)]
Consumption: 300 Stamina Points
Prerequisite: Fighting D
Remark: According to legend, this is a sword skill created by Guan Ping. Gripping the blade in a reverse grip, the user spins on the ground, and the enemy within range will be swept away.
The last skill was Xiao Tan's current title ability. With the change in title, Bee's Sting had become history, and the new one was …
Name: Flying Bee's Trace
Special Skill Type: Passive
[Effect: When the user's movement speed reaches more than ten kilometers per hour, the user can walk on walls (the angle between the surface and the ground is greater than or equal to ninety degrees) and leave behind a trail of black flame.
Remark: Illidan often tells me that Maiev Shadowsong is the best tracker he's ever met … Honestly, does this blind man really not know what he's leaving behind when he's walking?]
Those were the new skills that Xiao Tan had gained over the past few days.
Other than that, I believe that most of you have already forgotten the learning requirement for his Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion. There's no need for you to look through the skill database. I'll explain it directly here. Learning Requirement: Fighting B, Sorcery C, Level 30 and above. Skill card cannot be traded after picked up.
Obviously, he still did not meet the learning requirement.
Therefore, even though Xiao Tan seemed to have five skills, in reality, other than Reverse Spinning Slash, he could only rely on normal attacks or modern weapons to take the lives of others. If he did not improve his equipment or skills in the next few days, it was very likely that he would be eliminated within three or four rounds.
…
Back to Brother Jue.
On the afternoon of the 23rd of April, after Feng Bujue inspected and saved all the documents, he sighed in relief. He could finally relax for a while.
However, he was not in a hurry to log into the game. Instead, he went to the game forum to check out the situation over the past few days.
"Ah … As expected, it's all about the competition," Feng Bujue muttered as he flipped through the posts.
The forum was already very popular, and it was like adding oil to the fire. There were many posts with titles like "Strategy for the Tournament of the Best" and "How to Reach Level 30 in Ten Days".
The funniest thing was that Feng Bujue even saw a post with the ID "Seven Luminaries". The title of the post was "Prediction of the top 100 in the Tournament of the Best and my opinion on the strength of each workshop." However, when he clicked on it, he realized that the person who posted the post did not join any guild, was not a member of any workshop, and had not reached Level 30. It was as if he was telling the story of the underworld to everyone as a part time worker … It was better to think about it himself than to believe him.
Actually, Feng Bujue had already roughly studied the method of advancement in the competition three days ago. It could not be said that this set of rules was very reasonable, but it was obviously necessary to have an appropriate chance. If there were no chance factors in the competition, then there was no need to compete. They could just give the prizes to the players on the combat ranking. In short, as long as the chance factors in the competition could provide the weak with an appropriate opportunity and not make the strong feel that they were cheated, then everyone could accept it.
At this stage, the rules of the preliminaries provided by the Dream Company were as follows:
Starting from midnight on May 1st, players could queue up to enter the new "Tournament of the Best" preliminaries.
Every player had to go through a total of 50 preliminaries. Of course, the players did not need to finish all 50 matches consecutively. They only needed to finish all 50 matches in the first half of May. On average, they could only play about three matches a day. Moreover, the preliminaries used a 1v1 map specifically for the competition. Victory and defeat could be determined in a short period of time.
After all 50 matches were completed, players could no longer enter the preliminaries queue. After all the preliminaries ended, the system would arrange for players to advance based on the winning rate of the 50 matches they had completed.
There were two other special rules. First, players who did not win four matches in a row in any stage of the preliminaries would be eliminated directly. Second, players who did not lose 15 matches in a row in any stage of the preliminaries would advance directly.
This rule was mainly to filter out players who were too strong or too weak. It was to prevent players with average standards from frequently encountering point-giveaways or overpowered maniacs in the preliminaries. This was also a way to reduce the chance of advancement. That was because the queuing system of the competition was completely random. It was different from the Killing Games that tried to balance the matchmaking system. One could not rule out the possibility of someone being extremely lucky and encountering 50 lousy opponents in a row.
However, Feng Bujue did not know that he did not need to study the rules of the preliminaries at all. This was because he did not need to participate in any preliminaries … He did not even need to participate in the semi-finals.
On April 30th, the Dream Company would announce another piece of news while announcing the rules of the semi-finals. This would cause a huge uproar and cause a large number of players to be dissatisfied. Of course, the Dream Company would not care …
The news was that in the final stage of this competition, which was the stage of the top 100, ten spots had been taken.
These ten people were so-called 'specially invited players'. They did not need to participate in any selection. Feng Bujue was one of them.
