September 5th, 11: 40 in the evening.
The members of Underworld Frontline came to Wang Tanzhi's conference room as scheduled. They were ready to play the first preliminary round of The Best S2.
Although it felt like it was almost midnight, according to the game time in sleep mode, there were still 200 minutes left. Anyway, as long as they joined before midnight, they were considered to be playing "today", so they weren't in a hurry.
"Whoa ~ How rare, our great editor is actually late by ten minutes (in real time)." Feng Bujue looked at Hua Jian, who was the last one to enter the conference room. He was lying on the luxurious sofa like a catfish, and he showed an annoying smile.
Needless to say … As the leader of this club, the captain of the team, and the professional latecomer … Brother Jue was the least qualified person to ridicule others on this issue.
"It's because you suddenly said you were going to start a new book …" Hua Jian narrowed her eyes and looked at Brother Jue. She said, "I've been busy with the promotion and publishing of Nightmare and Two Ends. I had to do all the proofreading and reviewing myself. I didn't expect … someone to suddenly send me an email today saying that he's starting to prepare a new book. " She sighed and said, "Phew … I had a bunch of things to do at the last minute. I had to work overtime for a few hours before I got home."
"Speaking of which … We were just talking about it …" Xiao Tan said, "Starting a new book so soon doesn't seem to fit Brother Jue's usual style."
"Hmph …" Feng Bujue said coldly, "You think I have a 'usual style' and you think you've mastered this' style ', hahaha …" He laughed a few times and said, "Naive! You're too naive! "
Hua Jian couldn't help but shake her head and say, "I must have been mentally contaminated … That's why I suggested to the management to make this kind of person a star author …"
"Hmph … A writer is a writer, a star is a star." Feng Bujue shifted his body and sat up straight on the sofa. He assumed the role of a 'godfather' and said darkly, "Using a standard other than words to measure a person who makes a living from writing … personally, I am disgusted by that, much less using that as a selling point."
"Haha …" A second later, Hua Jian laughed dryly with his dead fish eyes. "That's not what you said after reading the price on the contract."
"Hmm … Sometimes … I have to make a certain degree of compromise before the reality." Brother Jue still had a serious expression on his face, and he answered without a change in expression.
Ruo Yu asked in a timely manner, "So the thought process before you compromised was to beat the table and laugh wildly in front of the computer?"
"Oh … No wonder you took so long to reply to my email …" Hua Jian seemed to have realized something.
"Well … Let's not just talk about me, let's talk about something else." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue calmly turned his head and looked at Xiao Tan. "By the way, what kind of contraceptive method do you usually use?"
After he asked this question, he was surrounded by three female players and beaten up.
Xiao Tan and a security robot from the system watched the whole process with no expression.
"Brother Jue, next time you want to change the topic …" After Brother Jue was lying on the ground with a bloody nose and a swollen face, Xiao Tan sighed and said, "Let's talk about something else."
"Ah …" After catching his breath, Feng Bujue sat back down on the sofa. "Good suggestion …" He held one side of his face and continued. "Alright, let's get back to the topic …" This time, he was really going to talk about something serious. "After I logged in today, I spent some time browsing the internet in the log-in lobby. As expected … almost all of the gaming studios have posted their preliminary results on the official website. "
When he said this, his teammates had already sat down.
"According to my observation and statistics, in the first round, most of the clubs under the studio won." Feng Bujue continued, "Of course … There were still some third-rate or unrated studios that lost in the first round. These studios … Some didn't even update their results on the website, and some did announce the results, but they didn't forget to add a large amount of text to explain why they lost … The core content was nothing more than — the opponent was too strong, and they were careless. "
He paused for a few seconds, then continued, "But overall, the winning rate of the professional teams was shockingly high. The teams that lost were basically the weakest among the professional teams. The only team that lost was' Zombie Blade First Team ', and the reason was … they met' Regulation First Team 'in the first round. "
"Well … That's really unlucky." Xiao Tan heard this and continued, "Speaking of which … Didn't other professional teams meet in pairs?"
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied, "But it's rare … I've looked through more than a hundred websites, and other than Regulation and Zombie Blade, I've only seen one instance of two professional teams meeting in the first round."
"That's because the number of teams participating in the competition is too large," Xiao Ling added.
"That's right." Feng Bujue said, "Even though the Dream Company didn't announce the number of teams participating in the competition (it was only announced after the privacy protection was removed during the preliminary round), based on my estimation … there are at least thirty thousand teams, maybe even fifty thousand. And among them … there are no more than four hundred professional teams, which is about one percent. "
"Eh? So few? " Xiao Tan asked. "But the competition didn't stipulate that each studio can only send one team. I thought there would be more professional teams."
"Ha …" Brother Jue shook his head with a smile. "Actually, there are very few studios that have the ability to form multiple teams to participate in the competition. This time, the two top studios with the most teams are Zombie Blade and Xing Chen. The former has thirteen teams, and the latter has ten teams. Regulation and Brahman, these two powerhouses, have four and three teams respectively. As for Red Sakura, Jiang Hu, Mountain River, and Heaven and Earth, even though they're top studios, they only sent two teams to participate in the competition." He paused for two seconds. "After that … for example, Hyotei, who we're quite familiar with, and a bunch of second and third tier studios and professional players, they only managed to form one team."
"If that's the case, even the 'four hundred' number is somewhat exaggerated," Hua Qian said.
"In terms of exaggeration … it's not that bad." Feng Bujue replied. "From the results of the first round, professional teams are here for a living. Even though some of the teams aren't that strong, compared to a normal player's team, their overall ability is usually stronger."
"Are you going to say …" Hua Qian said, "Because in a casual player's team, there will usually be one or two relatively weak players …"
"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded.
"Okay," Hua Jian replied helplessly. "I'm sorry for dragging you down."
"It's not that." However, Feng Bujue quickly added, "Our team doesn't have any weaknesses. You don't have to look down on yourself." His tone did not sound like he was comforting Hua Jian; he was serious. "From how I see it, our Underworld Frontline is a super strong team. We have a high chance of winning against any team."
"Oh, oh. Hearing you say that makes me feel like power is gushing out of my body!" Xiao Tan was a person who could be easily stirred up.
"If we have to talk about weaknesses …" In the next second, Feng Bujue calmly continued, "… then it's Xiao Tan."
"Hey —" Xiao Tan was shocked.
"All in all, what I want to say is … even if we are up against a professional team, we can still win. If it's a casual player's team, we have a 90% chance of winning. " Brother Bujue ignored him and continued, "Everyone just needs to play according to the practice mode. Don't feel any pressure."
"There's no pressure to begin with." Xiao Ling added, "And you chose to enter the matchmaking queue in the last ten minutes of the first day, which greatly reduced the possibility of us encountering a professional team."
"Oh? So that's why we waited until now to queue up? "Xiao Tan quickly reacted.
"Isn't that obvious …" Feng Bujue replied, "It's hard to say what will happen in the next few days … but after midnight on the first day, it will definitely be the peak time for a professional team to queue up because all the big studios can't wait to get the first win and post the results on the website."
"Although the probability of encountering them is not high, we should avoid them if we can, right?" Ruo Yu added.
"That's right." Feng Bujue said, "With my luck, if we were to join in the fun at midnight today, we might have met Underworld Frontline in the first round."
"Your luck has already surpassed the 0.03% probability?" Hua Jian narrowed his eyes and asked.
"If it's a negative event …" Feng Bujue answered seriously, "Yes … it's very likely."
"No matter what … if we queue up now, it's unlikely that we'll encounter a professional team." Xiao Ling continued, "I went to collect information during the day, and by three o 'clock in the afternoon, basically all the teams from the studios have announced their results. So … at least at this point in time, the probability of us encountering a professional team is infinitely close to zero. "
"That's right." Feng Bujue said, "So, as the captain and coach, what I want to say is … please enter the first round with a relaxed attitude. As long as you follow the rhythm of the practice mode and perform at your normal level, you can easily … "
"Don't even think about it." Brother Jue was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Ruo Yu, "You barely played the practice mode, and you want to watch this round?"
"Yeah … I think so …" Brother Jue wanted to explain, but …
"You can think whatever you want." Ruo Yu said coldly, "You're up, I'll be a spectator. I'll give you two hours to kill all four opponents."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
At this second, Xiao Ling, Xiao Tan, and Hua Jian all had the same reaction. This was the first time they saw Ruo Yu make such an unreasonable request.
Feng Bujue looked at Ruo Yu for two seconds, "Heh …" Then he laughed inexplicably. He seemed to have understood something, and then he said in a coaxing tone, "Okay, okay, I'll go."
