[The second update is here! I wish you a happy new year! The third update is released at 00 pm!]

Just as Yang Rui was busy purchasing grain in the market, the system prompt sound rang in Yang Rui's ear again.

"System prompt: After a 9-day schedule, the first phase of the Territory Confrontation Competition has come to an end. A total of 112 players stood out through their own efforts and qualified to enter the second phase of the competition.

The second stage of the Territory Confrontation Competition has 16 competition groups, and 112 players will be randomly assigned to one of them. Each group will be assigned 7 players, 6 single-round round group matches, one game every two days, and finally the top two in each group will be selected, and a total of 32 players will enter the final stage.

The competition grouping situation will be notified to the advanced players by system text messages later. Please pay attention to receiving information. At the same time, all the grouping situations will be automatically announced on the official built-in game forum. If necessary, please check it in detail."

"Didi, Didi..."

The system prompt just ended, and Yang Rui received a system text message from his built-in SMS box of the game. When he opened it, he found that it was indeed about the competition grouping situation.

"System text message: Dear player Lieyang, congratulations on your promotion to the second stage of the Territory Confrontation Competition with outstanding strength. You are randomly assigned to Group H to participate in the competition. From tomorrow onwards, there will be a group match every one day. After the group match, the top two players in the group will advance to the final. I wish you to continue your efforts in the next game and achieve more brilliant results!

At the same time, the system grouping situation has been announced in the game's built-in official forum. If you need to query the specific information of this group, as well as all other grouping situations and related schedules, please log in to the system's built-in forum for detailed inquiries."

After reading the system text message, Yang Rui immediately logged into the system official forum and checked the grouping situation of the second stage of the competition.

However, after Yang Rui logged into the forum, he found that the so-called "group specific information" of the system is just a simple list and schedule. The list only indicates the nickname, territory name and civilization of the participating players, and there is no other information.

The six players in the H group with Yang Rui were from the Russian Slavic civilization, Egyptian civilization, Mexican civilization, Greek civilization and two Japanese Warring States civilizations. It seems that Yang Rui does have an "unsolvable relationship" with Japan, and he can meet as many as two players in the competition group!

After learning about the list of players in the same group, you can naturally find their rankings through the world territory rankings, and you can also find some related economic strength and military strength parameters, which is more than the content posted on the forum!

However, the parameters on the rankings represent the current strength of the players and the territory, and the strength at the time of registration is brought in during the game. Although there is some deviation, it should not be too big! After a little search, Yang Rui found out the approximate strength of the other six opponents in the same group.

The highest ranking among these 6 players is the Mexican player, who occupies 19th place in the world list, with the nickname "Pet", and the name of his territory is actually called "Petling". I don't know if it is the translation reason or the player is too lazy to choose another name.

Pei Teling's parameters are relatively balanced and have a coordinated development. Yang Rui judged that such a territory should be established by large organizations, guilds or large game rooms, and it is probably Yang Rui's biggest competitor in this group!

The other five players' world rankings range from 40 to 50 to more than 100, but being able to eliminate so many players into the second stage of the competition means that their strength will not be much worse! A simple ranking cannot explain any problem!

Especially the Egyptian civilized player, he ranked 252 on the world rankings, and his military strength parameters were also mediocre. He was able to enter the second round of the game bravely, and I believe there must be something special about it!

Yang Rui naturally paid attention to this, but the name of this Egyptian player is too long. After being translated into Chinese, it looks like a bunch of irregular symbols, "Ganna Wuqi...", so Yang Rui really couldn't remember his name, so he could only call it the first word, so the poor baby turned into "Forrest Gump" in Yang Rui!

In addition to paying attention to these two opponents, Yang Rui also specially checked the situation of two players in the Japanese region and found that one of them ranks more than 70 and the other one ranks more than 90. The parameters displayed by these two Japanese players on the ranking list are relatively balanced, and they are all worse than Yang Rui, so Yang Rui didn't care much about it. Then he would let go of his hands and abuse him after encountering them! There is nothing to say about the Japanese!

Yang Rui's last gaze was on the information of the Russian player. He was the first opponent that Yang Rui would meet tomorrow.

The nickname of this Slavic civilization player is "Slavesky" and the territory is "Monten Mountain Kingdom". Since its name is not easy to remember, Yang Rui simplified him to "Little Si" as usual!

"Xiao Si" ranks 52nd in the world rankings, with outstanding military parameters. I believe that only the military strength has made his territory's ranking much higher! Of course, compared to Yang Ruilai, the military strength of his territory is still a little different.

The Russians are fighting, and the Slavic civilization's troops also tend to attack and fight hand-to-hand, and the military strength of the "Xiao Si" territory is also not weak. It seems that Yang Rui will have a "hard battle" to fight in tomorrow's game!

Of course, what Yang Rui was looking forward to was just a decent game. An opponent like "Xiao Si" could not reach the level of shaking Yang Rui.

After understanding these things, Yang Rui saw that it was getting late and then quit the game.

What surprised Yang Rui was that this time Xiaohui rarely left the game earlier than him! When Yang Rui withdrew, Xiaohui had already moved the wheelchair to Yang Rui and was bored to flirt with a comic book several meters! She also looked at Yang Rui from time to time.

"Brother≈≈ Look at you! Why don't you be in a hurry for your own affairs?!"

Xiaohui pouted angrily, holding Yang Rui's arms and shaking constantly, her very young daughter's appearance!

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Yang Rui was a little confused. What's his own business? Why are you not in a hurry?

"Brother! Have you forgotten?! Sister Sisi is going to treat us to dinner tonight! You actually forgot?!"

"Oh≈≈You are talking about this! I almost got dizzy by you! If I don't remember, how could I quit the game so early? Of course I remember!"

Yang Rui patted Xiaohui's little head in admiration, and couldn't help pinching her flushed face with both hands and said, "What? Waiting urgently? Do you dislike your elder brother's skills and want to go out for a big meal?"

"Brother! I'm not that greedy! I want to meet Sister Sisi! It's just a good meal..."

The brother and sister laughed again, and Yang Rui stopped and pushed Xiaohui out.
Chapter completed!
