The Eternal Sword Master of Online Games

(There is no charge for this chapter)

Lin Chen and others arrived at the Yangcheng Stadium on time, and under the arrangements of the event team staff, entered the backstage rest area of ​​the competition venue.

Mo Shang Huakai seemed excited, bouncing around while walking, while turning around and joking with Lin Chen and others.

As a result, I accidentally bumped into a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses at the corner, causing his sunglasses to fall to the ground.

Mo Shang Huakai was busy apologizing, and Lin Chen also apologized to Mo Shang Huakai on behalf of Mo Shang Huakai.

The middle-aged man was not angry and said that he was fine. He smiled friendly at Lin Chen and others and said that he would look forward to their next game.

Lin Chen didn't think too much, but shortly after the other party left, Sweeping Qianjun suddenly exclaimed, startling Mo Shanghuakai.

Sweeping Qianjun said excitedly: "I know him!"

"Huh?" Guiye Youming was very confused: "Who do you know?"

Sweeping Qianjun explained: "Just... the person Hua Kai bumped into, I suddenly remembered who he was!"

Sweeping thousands of troops successfully attracted everyone's attention, and even Fusheng Ruomeng, who was speechless all the way, looked towards him.

"So who is he?"

Lin Chen gently patted Sweeping Qianjun's head and glared at the latter: "Don't show off!"

Sweeping Qianjun laughed and said, "Murong Xueye!"

Murong Xueye?

Lin Chen frowned, feeling that the name sounded familiar.

"Who is Murong Xueye?" Mo Shanghuakai was still confused.

"Oh!" Guiye Youming clapped his hands and said, "Is it him? Murong Xueye, the second master player in the national server during the "Miracle" era and the first mage player in the national server?"

"That's right!" Sweeping the Qianjun explained: "He played as a warrior in the early days. When I first started playing as a warrior, I watched his instructional videos, so I remember it more clearly."

Lin Chen nodded.

There is such a rumor that Murong Xueye originally played as a warrior and became very famous from the beginning.

It was only later that Dao Intangible rose up. He lost to Dao Intangible in a gambling battle and chose to change his job to become a mage professional, finally reaching his peak.

He has never had any hatred towards Dao Intangible, and even though he does not belong to the same guild, he has always had good contacts in private.

so?

Why does Murong Xueye appear here?

Lin Chen couldn't help but come up with the idea that Murong Xueye wanted to make a comeback, and had even paid for it, becoming a member of one of the sixteen teams participating in the advanced competition.

The same idea came up in Sweeping Thousands of Arms, which made him feel a lot of pressure. After all, Murong Xueye was so famous and was once his idol.

If he really encountered the shadow of a famous human tree, Lin Chen was not sure that he would be able to defeat Murong Xueye.

However, he feels that he can't think too much now and cause the team to lose momentum.

It was to tell them that Murong Xueye had retired from tourism for many years after all, and even if he came back, it would not be so easy to return to the top.

Even if they can't beat one-on-one, they may still create opportunities for two-on-one.

He believes in everyone's abilities.

They rested for a while, and a staff member came to the room where they were, saying that the opening ceremony was coming soon.

After the staff counted the number of people, they led them to the preparation area of ​​the competition hall, where they could directly see the competition stage and part of the audience seats.

There was a large screen on the stage, and some promotional videos for the "Eternal" Challenge were being played, but from their angle, they couldn't see clearly.

Lin Chen looked around and saw that several teams had arrived at the preparation area, but none of them were familiar with them, so they were members of their respective teams and gathered into a small circle.

He saw that some people also brought their own gaming helmets, and thought that the invitation letter stated that they could bring their own equipment to participate in the competition.

Lin Chen did not bring his own gaming helmet, because the official provided an unbound gaming helmet exclusively for competitions, which is more powerful than his standard version of the device. It is said that it has similar specifications to the if-g Honor version of the device that can be purchased outside.

Generally, those who bring their own gaming helmets bring some special Honor Edition equipment, or even King Edition equipment.

Three or four minutes later, he finally saw the people he knew, Shuise Yanhua and the others, whom he had been with in the past.

Then I found that Huo Shuyinhua was also there, and they also greeted each other, and then chatted while observing other participating players who appeared around them.

On the way, there were also contestants from other teams who came to say hello and half-jokingly said that if they met, they must be merciful.

Of course, apart from the idea of ​​making friends, the main purpose is to find out the information about them and other opponents.

Later, Lin Chen also met Li Le from the Zhan Kuang Guild, which made him feel a little strange.

According to his memory, Li Le, that is, the team that was the only one, let their team be defeated and lost the qualification to participate in the advanced competition.

The other party said that he wanted to take a step to talk, but Lin Chen refused, feeling that there was nothing to say between them.

Li Le sneered a few times, and Sweeping Qianjun and others stood up, alert to possible bad moves by the other party.

But this time, Li Le quickly turned around and left without even saying any harsh words.

Lin Chen and others quickly put this incident behind them. After all, could Li Le still directly participate in the game?

At this moment, they don't have the energy to think about Li Le. They really have a lot of opponents in the advanced competition.

At this moment, there was a cry from outside.

They turned to look outside. It turned out that it was time for the opening ceremony of the challenge.

(Omit two thousand words...)

(Murong Xueye did not really come back, but was invited to be the commentator for the advanced competition. As Mingyue Xiaoxiao and Yuyin Niaoyu revealed before, a friend will return in a "special" way.)

This year's advanced competition rules are very different from previous years.

First of all, the competition mode is adjusted from "2+1" to "3+1", that is, from two rounds of 1v1 heads-up competition and one round of 5v5 team competition to three rounds of 1v1 heads-up competition and one round of 5v5

team competition.

Then, when the 16 advance to the top 8, the group stage points system will be adopted.

The 16 teams in the competition area will be divided into 4 competition groups based on the drawing of lots.

Four teams in each group will match each other once. Based on the final points ranking within the group, the top two teams will advance to the top 8, and the bottom two teams will be eliminated.

In terms of specific points earned.

Originally, the winner of the heads-up match was awarded 2 points, the draw was 1 point each, and the loser was 0 points.

The maximum victory score in the team competition is 6 points, requiring the winning side to be crushed with zero deaths, and the victory score is reduced by 1 for each person killed. If both sides are destroyed, it will be a 1-point draw, and the losing side will receive 0 points.

The maximum score is 10 points.

Now it has been changed to 1 point for a win in a heads-up match, and no points for a draw or defeat.

The winner of the team competition will get 1 point. If the number of surviving members is greater than 2, an extra point will be added. There will be no points for a draw or failure.

(As long as the time is up and both sides still have members present, it will be judged as a draw, so the disadvantaged side can try the 'Gou style' tactic)

That is, the maximum score is 5 points. In theory, as long as there are three heads-up matches, or one heads-up match plus a team match, you can have an advantage in points.

As the captain, Lin Chen went to draw lots on behalf of their team and drew the "c" symbol card, which meant that their team would be assigned to the third group.

Also drawing "c" symbol cards are the teams of "One Flower, One World", "Lao Na uses Rejoice" and "Death Canoe".

What a coincidence.

Death Canoe, belongs to the War Mad Guild.

Lin Chen gave himself a small goal, which was to destroy Death Canoe's team, although he actually had no objection to Death Canoe.

As for other competition groups.

Group A includes "Hun Wuxie", "Fire Trees and Silver Flowers", "Wu Sha" and "Ruoyun Piaomiao".

Group b includes "water color smoke", "sapphire case", "silk tree" and "natural volume".

Group d includes "Guitian", "Seven Layers of Shayi", "Slightly Rotten Apple" and "Original Loli Sauce".

Shuisheyanhua and the others were lucky enough to avoid powerful teams such as Hun Wuxie, Wusha, and Qizhong Shayi.

According to Lin Chen's feeling, it is difficult for the other teams in Group B to pose a threat to Shuise Yanhua and the others.

He felt that it was relatively safe for Shuise Yanhua and his team to rank first in the group points and advance to the quarterfinals.

Looking back at Huoshu Yinhua's team, this luck...

It’s really too bad, right?

Lin Chen couldn't help but mourn for Huoshu Yinhua. Group A was simply a death group.

Huoshu Yinhua and the others are still pretty good, but there is still a big gap between them and the real masters.

Hun Wuxie's team is the favorite to win the championship. Hun Wuxie's own strength is higher than Huoshu Yinhua, and in his team, there are two Miracle Ranking players, Kuang Shen and Xia Shuidao.

In addition, Wu Sha's team should not be underestimated. Although ordinary players don't know much about the Shadow Oath organization, Lin Chen has played against them and can make some basic judgments about their strength.

When Huoshu Yinhua and the others met Wu Sha's team, they were probably at 4 or 6, while Huoshu Yinhua and the others were only at "4", maybe even lower.

According to Lin Chen's guess, Huoshu Yinhua and his team might only finish third in the group, unfortunately being eliminated.

The only good news is that the "Ruoyun Piaomiao" team is part of the Third Shura Army and will also be eliminated.

Lin Chen walked up to Huo Shuyinhua and found that they didn't seem to notice this yet. They were discussing how to defeat other teams and strive to get second place in the group.

He didn't want to undermine their confidence, but he couldn't help but remind Huoshu Yinhua to be careful of the "Wu Sha" team.

As for the competition in Group D, there is no doubt that the team "Qizhong Shayi" can win the first place in the group.

After all, the team has the highest average level and four hidden professions, which looks scary at this stage.

In the morning is the match of Group A.

The final result was just as Lin Chen expected. "Hun Wuxie" won the first place in the group, and "Wu Sha" ranked second in the group.

"Hun Wuxie" vs. "Wu Sha", the score was 4 to 1 ("Hun Wuxie" only lost one singles match and received extra points in the team match);

"Hun Wuxie" versus "Huoshu Yinhua" scored 4 to 1 ("Huoshu Yinhua" only won one heads-up match);

"Hun Wuxie" versus "Ruoyun Piaomiao" scored 5 to 0 (although the team "Ruoyun Piaomiao" itself is insufficient in overall strength, it is also suspected of deliberately letting the score go);

"Wu Sha" versus "Huo Shu Ying Hua" scored 3 to 1 ("Wu Sha" lost a singles match and had no extra points in the team match);

"Wu Sha" versus "Ruoyun Piaomiao", the score was 4 to 1 ("Wu Sha" only lost one heads-up match);

"Huoshu Yinhua" versus "Ruoyun Piaomiao", the score was 3 to 2 ("Huoshu Yinhua" won a singles match and a team match, and received extra points in the team match).

The scoring rankings of Group A are: "Hun Wuxie" has 13 points, "Wu Sha" has 8 points, "Fire Trees and Silver Flowers" has 5 points, and "Ruoyun Piaomiao" has 3 points.

The two teams "Hun Wuxie" and "Wu Sha" took the lead in the top 8 of the Advanced Challenge.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a competition in Group B. In the end, "Shui Color Yanhua" and "Siluo Qiaomu" from the Beauty Guild entered the quarterfinals with 13 and 9 competition points respectively.

After that, it was the turn of Group C.

Half past two in the afternoon.

In the first round of Group C, “One Flower One World” vs. “Lao Na with Rejoice”.

The lineups of both sides are as follows:

"One flower, one world":

One flower, one world, flame mage, level 59

One Leaf and One Bodhi, Divine Grace Pastor, Level 56

One person in one life, rune swordsman, level 59

One thought and one madness, mad warrior, level 58
