Chapter 839: Battle of the Bai country (2)
Translator: 549690339
[Killed four members of the cornfruit team.]
The content of the main quest was simple and concise.
Since the other party’s team leader did not choose to protect his privacy, his team name was stated clearly in the main mission of the members of frontline hell.
On the other hand, the main mission that the other party received was [kill four members of the enemy team], which did not write the name of the hell frontline team.
“Ah … I really can’t see anymore.” After opening the game menu, the first thing that Xiao Tan noticed … Was that the team tab in this mode was different from a normal killing game.
!!The rules on the official website had also been stated in advance: In this mode, players could only see their teammates ‘IGNS, levels, and survival status when they opened the game menu. The enemies’ information was not displayed.
Compared to The Killing Game where you could see the enemy’s ID and their survival status from the start, the new rules of the S2 team battle had undoubtedly added many uncertainties to the game.
After all, the skills in Thriller Paradise were ever-changing. Anything could happen before the opponent’s body turned into white light and dissipated. That was why … CS had become a very important habit in this model.
“You just can’t see …” Hua Jian said.
“I say, you …” Xiao Ling narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Tan.”Haven’t you read the posts on the official website?”
“That … I’ve seen it before.” Xiao Tan replied with a lack of confidence.
“I said ‘take a closer look’.” Ling raised her hand and made a quotation mark.
“Fine … I only read through the pinned thread on the official website. I didn’t remember all the details …” Xiao Tan then used a tone that sounded like he was admitting his mistake to reply.
In fact … He didn’t have to do this, because his behavior was very “normal.” Most players would not remember all the rules and settings in detail. In fact, there weren’t many people who would “read through” it once. Many people would just focus on the content that they were interested in and skip the other aspects.
Unfortunately … Xiao Tan was not in a ‘normal’ team, and his teammates did not belong to the ‘majority of the players’.
The players from Hell’s frontline were the type who had memorized the rules of the game in detail in advance. It was to the extent that Xiao Tan’s behavior, which seemed normal to outsiders, looked like he was ‘slacking off’.
“Forget it, I’ll catch up after this match.” As little spirit spoke, she raised her head to smile at Xiao Tan and even raised her hand to ruffle the latter’s hair.
No matter how he looked at it, this scene looked like he was training a pet …
“Yes, yes.” Xiao Tan even accepted the man’s action with a smile.
“These two guys … They’re publicly showing off their love …” Brother Jue, who was watching as an onlooker, could not help but comment.”And they’re in a love affair …”
Of course, what Feng bujue said could not be heard by the other players in the scenario. At this moment, brother Jue did not have a ‘physical body’. To put it simply … The system did not create a physical body for him. Therefore, he had to maintain his “first-person” perspective, the same as when he was watching the opening CG. He could see, hear, and complain (only he could hear), but he was not allowed to affect the people or things in the script.
“Speaking of which … This [spectator] perspective feels similar to Counter Strike’s [deathobserver’s perspective].” Feng bujue then read again,”but the observer’s perspective in Counterstrike can be used in many ways, and the observer’s perspective can only switch back and forth from behind their teammates.”
Even though brother Jue felt that this restriction was a little inconvenient, he could understand the intention of the officials …
It was clear that there was no technical difficulty in switching positions from a “full view.” There must be a reason why the person who set the rules of the game limited the freedom of the audience’s perspective …
In a game like CS, where “a single map is less than one acre, and there are at most 32 old men with rough character maps”, it was fine to let the observer fly around. However, in a game like Thriller Paradise, where the details of the characters were realistic, there were many NPCs, and the map was huge, the spectators could look around without any restrictions … And they could do all kinds of dirty things. In order to prevent this situation, it was undoubtedly a good choice to fix the observer’s perspective to a higher point of view, like “third-person shooting”, which was behind the character.
“Oh, that’s right.” On the other side, just as Xiao Ling and Xiao Tan finished speaking, flower suggested to his teammates,”let’s use The Resurrection Effect of the staff of Asklepius first.”
Her legendary weapon’s third special effect-the power of eternity, could be used once in every scenario, and there was no’ duration ‘limit. Therefore-she had considered using it on a certain someone from the start of the scenario.
“Hmm …” Ling pursed her lips and said thoughtfully,”generally speaking, special effects like ‘saving one life in advance’ should be used on the strongest person, so …”
When she said that, her gaze moved to RUO Yu. Xiao Tan and Hua Jian looked at the latter at the same time. It looked like … Everyone had already recognized who the strongest in the team was.
“Okay, then use it.” RUO Yu had no intention of rejecting him.
In Feng bujue’s absence, RUO Yu had to act as the captain. She was a person with a strong sense of responsibility. When she was carrying the word “Captain,” whether it was the strategy she formulated or the actual action, it would be affected by this “responsibility.” It was more or less like she was tying her hands and feet. With the guarantee of “resurrection”, she could play more freely.
As such, flower den quickly added the ‘power of eternity’ special effect to RUO Yu. After that, everyone began to discuss their next battle strategy …
Since brother Jue was not there, the task of analyzing the plot fell to Ling.
“Hmm … So far, I don’t see any misleading words or hidden hints in the introduction …” About two minutes later, Ling put her hand to her lips and said to her teammates,”as for the plot … Everyone should understand it. It’s not a very complicated story. “The things that I think are more important and need to be noted are the following …” She analyzed the problem in an organized manner.”First,’three birds’ and ‘three eyes’ must be the key to this scenario, and deciphering their true meaning will be of greater help to the players; Secondly, the curse of the ‘King’ was a huge mystery in the introduction, and he would definitely obtain considerable benefits after undoing it. Thirdly, from the cinematics, there were magic, siege beasts, and black technology in the scenario. Therefore, the ‘human army’ here must be very powerful, at least more powerful than the ancient Army in our real world. Based on this … The combat power of the ‘goddess’ was probably ridiculously high. According to my experience … With this setting, it would be extremely difficult to’ borrow ‘power from the’ goddess ‘. The slightest bit of carelessness would lead to trouble. Moreover … As the stronger side, we don’t really need to rely on the strength of the NPCs. Therefore, I suggest … It’s best not to make any related attempts. ”
“Eh? “How did we become the stronger side?” Xiao Tan was confused.
“Idiot.” Ling knocked on his head.”You’re one of the top 50 players in S1. Compared to the average casual player, you’re at least 1.5, right?” She then pointed at RUO Yu.”My cousin is stronger than you, and she has ‘two lives’ now. It shouldn’t be a problem to count her as 3.5 people, right?”
“This way, our combat power is at least 7: Four. ”
“Hey, hey …” Xiao Tan mumbled,”we haven’t even seen the enemy team yet, and you’re already calling them ‘average casual players’?”
“Do you think a team called ‘cornmeal’ that doesn’t even have any Privacy Protection is a professional team?” Xiao Ling asked.
“Er …” Xiao Tan could not refute that.
…………
At the same time, more than ten kilometers away, on the other side of the White country ruins.
Cornfruit team’s captain,[elementary school dog], was also consulting their team’s think tank,[three flowing maple], for strategy.
The other two members standing on the side were “loneliest when I miss you” and “mighty, domineering”.
A simple introduction of these four …
First, it was [elementary school dog]. Although his nickname wasn’t very elegant, after thinking about it … It was probably a name that only veteran closed beta players could get.
From the way he named himself, it was not difficult to see that … He was most likely a person who thought highly of himself, was good at retreating to advance, and liked to achieve the effect of acting tough by pretending to be weak.
In fact, he really was such a person …
[Elementary school dog] was a professional player, and his ability was not bad. It could be said that he was “blue-collar and above, but not full of stars.” However, it was precisely this kind of strength positioning that made his professional path very awkward …
If he stayed in a top-tier game studio, he could only do blue-collar work; If he went to a second-tier studio, although he would be the main force, he would not be the trump card. If he went to a third-tier studio … He could become a trump card, but unfortunately, those small companies were very unstable. Many of them were only open for a few months and disbanded without making much money. Moreover, their income might not be as high as the blue-collar players in the first-tier Studios, and they would not be very famous.
All in all,[elementary school dog] belonged to the “chicken head and Phoenix tail” class. When facing ordinary players, they were usually very confident and felt a sense of superiority. However, when facing peak experts, they could also feel the difference in strength. Very quickly, a sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts …
In terms of appearance, brother dog looked very plain, which was quite in line with his “pretending to be a pig to eat a Tiger” character. He had a curly and unpolished appearance, short hair, and a well-proportioned body. He was wearing a very practical assault soldier’s uniform. It had many pockets, was easy to move about, and had good heat and cold resistance.
For this competition, brother dog had found three non-professional players who he thought were quite strong to form a team (the audience was his friend, a pure casual player, who had been found to make up the numbers). The goal he set was not too far away from getting into the top 100 in the preliminaries.
He was also very clear that the higher target was not something that this team could achieve with their team’s configuration. Whether they could enter the top hundred in the preliminaries would still depend on their luck.
Then, there was the second person, Liu Sanfeng.
This was a teammate that [elementary school dog] had high hopes for, and he was also the first teammate he had invited.
[Liu Sanfeng] was also an old player who had created his account during the closed beta. Although he was not a professional player, he was a rare player who was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. It felt a little similar to Pikachu’s … No… It was similar to autumn zither’s style, but Pikachu … Uh … Autumn zither was stronger than him in all aspects.
In terms of appearance, Liu Sanfeng’s style was completely different from brother dog ‘s, and he looked quite gorgeous. He had adjusted his appearance in the game to the level of “very handsome.” He had long hair that reached his shoulders, a slender figure, and was wearing a black and gold body-fitting suit that showed off his figure.
Then, there was the third person …[The loneliest when I miss you]
I’m sure some of you still remember this nickname. That was right, he was one of the high school couple that Feng bujue and Wang Tanzhi had met when they first joined the team survival mode. The girl who had been with him at the time was called ‘I’m the loneliest when I miss you’.
Without a doubt, he was also a closed beta player. In terms of strength … He was very strong now.
Why did he say ‘now’? This was because he had broken up with his girlfriend a month ago …
It was … A rainy day.
At the bus stop after school,[loneliest when I miss you] cut off all contact with Mr. Loneliest with the excuse that ‘my parents said that this would affect my studies’.
When the words “break up” were said, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.
Something seemed to have shattered in Mr. Loneliest’s chest …
At that moment, on the electronic billboard across the street, the melody Of “All Out Of Love” suddenly rang out,”I am All out of love~What a am I with out you~I can be too late~To say that I am so wrong~”
Well, the actual situation might not be that dramatic … But in his memory, it seemed to be like this.
In short, his girlfriend never spoke to him again. Even if they occasionally passed by each other in school, she would turn a blind eye to her. Even his game account … Was deleted.
From that moment on, Mr. Loneliest’s nickname had become a form of mockery, and it was no longer just a name …
However … There were two sides to falling out of love. The lonely young man, who was frustrated in love, immediately put all his energy into the game world. He had spent the time that was originally used for eating, shopping, and watching movies on playing games. He had spent the money that he had originally used to eat, shop, and watch movies on the game. He had put all his efforts on his girlfriend into the game …
Mr. Loneliest had diverted his attention through the game and gradually soothed the pain in his heart. Unknowingly, he had become a very strong player.
He had known [elementary school dog] for some time now. The fact that brother dog chose him as a teammate also reflected his ability.
Finally, it was time to watch the fourth person, Qin Zhuan [mighty, tyrannical].
He was the only non-beta player in the cornmeal fruit team. He had not been in Thriller Paradise for a long time. When tournament of the best entered the final stage, he had just joined the game. From the “” in his name, it was obvious that it would be difficult for the players who applied for an account to come up with an unused, wordless nickname. (After the V1.10 update, the officials had relaxed the nickname restrictions. Now, players of Thriller Paradise could use names with up to 18 characters, and they could even mix in one or two special characters.)
As for brother Weiwu’s appearance … He was indeed very mighty. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face … In the movies of the 1980s and 1990s, he had to be a positive character. Only those small-eyed bald heads would betray. Even if he was in the enemy camp, he was most likely an underground party.
In terms of strength, brother Weiwu is also quite strong. As a casual player, to be able to rush from Level 1 to Level 42 in just two months, other than having “money and leisure time,” his own ability could not be ignored.
Of course, this was also related to the current game environment … After all, the server had been open for so long, and there were all kinds of leveling up strategies on the forum. There was also the ‘leading team leveling’ business of the various studios, which also allowed newcomers to easily level up and upgrade their equipment.
For example, another player,[tired dream], who was once [zombie blade King]. It had only taken him less than a month to go from Level 1 to level 34 (see Chapter 582), and now he was almost level 50 … So, in this version, the difficulty of leveling was much lower than in the “pioneering era”
As long as he made full use of his gaming time every day, read more guides, prepared the [x2 exp card], and did not have too much strength … Even if he was a casual player, it would not be a dream to train to 40 in two months.
Those were the four members of the cornfruit team. As for the strength of the entire team … It was indeed a bit stronger than the teams formed by those ‘casual players with average strength’. However, if they really met a Pro Team, they would basically have no chance.
As for the reason why they did not activate the privacy Protection function … There were two main points. Firstly, it was the captain [elementary school dog] ‘s personality. A person who liked to “play the pig to eat the Tiger” actually also wanted to show off. It was just that their way of showing off was not as flamboyant as “forced posturing”, nor as deep as “invisible posturing”. However, no matter what, he was definitely not willing to let brother dog remain anonymous. Besides … He had his own plans in mind … It would be best if he could make a name for himself in S2, and then he could get a leading position in a top-tier studio to get out of his current embarrassing situation. If his “appearance” and “team name” were covered up, how would he be remembered?
The second reason was that their tactician, flowing three maple, really didn’t think too deeply about the “Privacy Protection function.” This person was not as good as Pikachu … When he realized the problem later, the preliminaries had already gone on for more than ten rounds. By then, their team’s information had almost been studied by others, and it was too late to hide it.
“Alright, it’s decided then.”
Five minutes after the scenario started, the five members of the cornfruit team had already decided on their strategy.
Their tactical thinking was actually the same as the Hell’s frontline team …
However, the process of thinking was very different …
They were thinking,”we can’t deduce anything from the scenario introduction, so let’s just leave the plot alone.” The other party’s name is not even displayed, so it’s most likely an unknown party, so it’s very likely that they’re casual players … We have a professional player on our side, who can fight against two players at once, so our battle power is at least 5:4. So, we don’t need to take advantage of them. It’s better for us to quickly annihilate them.
That was probably … The entire process …
And this set of tactics had undoubtedly opened the curtain of a tragedy.
