Chapter 200, City Tournament First Show (Part 1)

The next morning, everyone got up on time and went to the third floor to have breakfast. Even Qin Ye, who didn't have to participate in the competition, came down early. Xiao Yu fell asleep in the early morning last night because he was too excited. With a big dark circle, the others looked energetic.

Liu Chuan reached out and rubbed Yu Xiangyang's head and said, "It's not right? You're so excited that you can't sleep after the first game of the city game?"

Yu Xiangyang said depressedly: "I have never played a game! Excited is normal! I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep..."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, don't think too much. In the first few weeks of the city competition, we usually don't match too strong teams. We just need to play according to our usual style of play."

Except for Liu Chuan, Lan Weiran and Qin Ye, the three great gods, who were quite calm, the other newcomers were actually a little nervous. After all, it was their first time to participate in such a large-scale event, so it was normal to be nervous. According to official statistics in May, the teams for the national urban competition were more than 12,000, and they were divided into four competition areas. There were more than 3,000 teams in the South China competition area. It sounded extremely difficult to get the top two qualifying places from more than 3,000 teams. As long as you lose one game, you will be thrown into the loser's group, and you will be eliminated directly. Therefore, no matter what kind of team you face, they must be careful.

After breakfast, Liu Chuan took his teammates to the stadium.

The competition venue in Changsha City was at the original registration site "Tianzhiyu Online Club". In order to prepare for this competition, the Internet cafe has stopped operating during this period and all three floors are cleared. The first floor is the sign-in area and the audience bypass area, the second floor is the contestants' rest area, and the third floor is the competition area. The president of the competition is also a professional referee assigned by the official to ensure the fairness of the competition.

Because there are too many teams in the city competition, the schedule is quite tight. The registered teams are divided into geographical locations. The teams registered in Hunan Province are in the Changsha branch. The June competition is divided into the first three rounds of weekly matches and the fourth round of monthly matches. Half of the teams will be thrown into the loser's group in each round of weekly matches. When the monthly match (resurrection match) at the end of the month, the loser's group will be confronted again. Half of the teams will be resurrected and the other half will be eliminated directly.

The weekly competition will start again in July, and the monthly competition cycle will still be carried out according to this rule. It will not be finished until the end of September. The competition points of each provincial capital city will be selected to send two teams to enter the four major competition areas. During the National Day holiday, the finals of the four major competition areas of East China, West China, North China and South China will be selected. Two teams will be selected to enter the national finals for the final showdown.

If you want to get tickets to the National Finals, you must go through the hurdles and win more than 20 games.

After Liu Chuan and the others arrived, they saw a lot of people gathered on the first floor of the Internet cafe. Many of them had badges on their necks, with the team's name written on them. Obviously, they were all team members who came to participate today. Liu Chuan first went to the sign-in place to report, and the person in charge of the reception gave him eight badges with "Longyin Team Members". The badges were made very exquisitely. On the front were a group photo of characters from the eight major martial arts sects. There was a row of "Wulin Official City Hero Competition·Changsha Competition" written below, and the north was written with "Longyin Team" in black letters on white background.

The receptionist smiled and said, "This badge must be closed and will not be sent next time. The team members must wear it to enter the venue."

Liu Chuan said thank you and went back to distribute the badge to several teammates for everyone to hang it around their necks. The number of people who signed up for the Longyin Team City Tournament was eight, and there was no Qin Ye for the time being. Of course, there was no Qin Ye for the official player badge.

Li Xiang couldn't help but say, "Is this badge given by the number of people? Can't Qin Ye also ask for one?"

Qin Ye glanced at him and said, "I don't have to go on stage, what do you want it to do?"

Li Xiang scratched his head and said with a smile: "See memorable."

Qin Ye said: "I prefer to use the championship trophy to souvenirs."

"..." Li Xiang gave him a thumbs up with admiration.

Qin Ye smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go upstairs, I'll wait for you below."

Because there is no contestant badge, Qin Ye was unable to enter the contestant's rest area on the second floor. He could only wait on the first floor for the audience seat reserved for the "Relatives and Friends Cheering Team". Fortunately, there is a large screen here, and the competition on the third floor will be broadcast live later. Qin Ye found a seat with a better vision and sat down, preparing to watch the live broadcast for a while.

Liu Chuan and his friends went upstairs together, waiting for arrangements in the contestants' rest area on the second floor.

There is a large billboard in the lobby on the second floor, which says today's game schedule. There are many teams to compete today. Liu Chuan and his team arranged for the third game this morning. The opponent is a team called "Happy Family". The team names on the billboard are of various styles. The Longyin team is mixed with it and it doesn't look special. Only the boys in charge of the reception on the second floor know that the Longyin team is the strongest dark horse in the Changsha competition area.

When Liu Chuan saw him, he nodded and greeted him. The receptionist immediately walked over and said, "What do you want to drink from Team Sichuan? I'll pour it for you. There are coffee, milk tea and various drinks over there, all provided by the organizing committee."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "No need to worry."

Although Liu Chuan said there was no need to worry, the boy poured eight cups of refreshing hot coffee very attentively. Liu Chuan was embarrassed and said, "Thank you."

The boy took the back of his head and said, "Come Sichuan Team!"

After he left, Lan Weiran held the hot coffee and sighed while drinking: "It's good to have fans here..."

Liu Chuan leaned over and said, "If you hadn't been lazy and turned the four blue into one blue, there would definitely be a lot of fans here."

Lan Weiran smiled and said, "Forget it, all the fans of Luohuaci like Ye Chenxi, and there are not many people who know me."

Silan's words are true. After all, he retired too early. Luohuaci has made great progress in recent years under the leadership of Ye Chenxi. Nowadays, most of the people who like Luohuaci like the young and promising Ye Team. As for the Captain Silan back then, many people are not familiar with it. Everyone only knows that the master of Ye Team is the founder of Luohuaci, that's all.

When Liu Chuan heard him say this, he couldn't help but pat his shoulder and comforted him: "Although the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, Xiaoye is better than you. However, you are not very old, so don't be discouraged."

"..." Lan Weiran almost sprayed out the coffee and gave Liu Chuan a blank look, "You'd better stop comforting me."

Liu Chuan continued to lower his head to drink coffee with a smile.

This kind of audition-style weekly competition has been full of various situations. Liu Chuan and the others were waiting in the players' rest area, and they saw a team of people coming down from the third floor without competing. Liu Chuan was not sure about the situation, so he walked over and asked the boy in charge of the reception, "Do you know what's going on?"

The boy came over and explained: "I heard that it was because someone of their opponents was sick and abstained, so they directly advanced to the next round."

Liu Chuan was a little surprised, but when he encountered an opponent's direct abstention, it was no wonder that he was accused in large-scale events.

The next second game was not interesting. Liu Chuan looked at the live broadcast on the big screen and found that both sides were full of loopholes and had a mess of fighting...

It was only 9:30 in the morning that it was the third game, with the Dragon Roar Team vs. Happy Family.

The moment the words were typed on the big screen, the cheering group on the first floor suddenly burst out with warm applause, and someone was shouting: "Come on Happy Family!"

"Come on! Blow the Dragon Roar!"

"Kill them!"

"This Dragon Roar Team is definitely not our opponent!"

"Of course, our guild is also one of the best guilds in the fourth district of Telecom. Where did Long Yin come from? I haven't heard of it!"

“…”

There were quite a lot of people coming to cheer around. This team was obviously formed within a local guild. The people who came to cheer seemed to be all students, probably from nearby colleges and universities, and they were very familiar with each other.

Qin Ye sat calmly in the middle of the cheering group of the Happy Family. Listening to the shouts of "killing the Dragon Yin" and "torture the Dragon Yin" in his ears, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise it slightly, thinking to himself: Is the "Happy Family" right? I'm afraid it will become the "unhappy family" later.

Want to kill Liu Chuan? You guys are thinking too much.

Chapter 201, City Tournament First Show (Part 2)

The third game began soon. Liu Chuan brought several teammates upstairs. The competition venue on the third floor was quite large. Six computers were placed in the private rooms on both sides, separated by glass baffles in the middle. The staff verified each of their ID cards, which allowed the players to sit in turn. Xu Ce, Li Xiang, Liu Chuan, Zewen, Shao Qing, and Xiao Yu sat in the contestants' seats according to the positions of No. 1-6. Lan Weiran and Lin Tong, who did not participate in the team battle, sat in the bench seats behind.

In the room opposite, several members of the Happy Family also took their seats one by one. Liu Chuan looked up and found that the players on the other side were very young, talking and laughing, and looking quite happy.

Liu Chuan raised his hand and called the referee over, and said with a smile: "Hello referee, we need to install our own peripherals."

The referee looked at him in surprise. The teams in the city game rarely bring their own keyboard and mouse. Most of them use the equipment provided by the official. The mechanical keyboard provided by the official this time is already very good, and it will be very troublesome to bring your own keyboard.

The reason why Liu Chuan brought his own peripherals was that Wu Zewen had a keyboard problem in the finals of the college league before, which affected the performance of the competition. In order to avoid this situation from happening again, he asked everyone to bring the mechanical keyboard and mechanical mouse they used during training, and he could find the feel faster with the keyboard and mouse he used to.

The competition organizing committee stipulates that all computers are not allowed to install third-party software, but they can install the built-in keyboard and mouse driver software. The official also allows players to bring their own keyboard and mouse. However, they must be installed under the supervision of the referee to prevent players from installing cheating procedures privately. Therefore, Liu Chuan called the referee over and asked the referee to supervise.

The referees of the city competition deserve to be officially trained and are obviously very professional. After a brief check of the keyboard and mouse brought by the Longyin team members, they quickly connected the peripherals on six computers and installed the driver.

The cheering team of the Kaixin Family on the first floor was a little impatient: "Why haven't the competition started yet?"

"They seem to be installing keyboards. Damn, they have to bring their own keyboards to play in a city game. Should they be so formal?"

"These people actually all come with mechanical keyboards and mice? If I read that keyboard correctly, it should be the new mechanical keyboard from Cherry, right?"

"That's right! It costs thousands of dollars for a keyboard imported from Germany, and it's such a rich man!"

There were obviously many game experts who knew mechanical keyboards in the audience, and there were frequent discussions. Qin Ye listened to the discussions of the people around him, and his expression on his face was very calm.

On the third floor, Liu Chuan's expression was also very calm. He followed the referee and waited for the six computers to change their keyboards and mouses. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you, the referee."

The referee nodded and said, "Please debug the network and peripherals, and be ready to start if there is no problem."

After a while, the captains of both sides made a gesture of preparation, and the referee's green light lit up, and the game finally officially began!

Unlike the professional league's ring team battle round-robin match point match mode, because there are too many teams registered in the city match, the simpler and more convenient Bo3 three-game two-win match system is adopted. In the first game, the blue side selects the map, the second game is the red side selects the map, and the third game is the system randomly selects the map.

The Dragon Roar Team is in the red square, and the Happy Family is in the blue square. After the game begins, the players of both sides enter the room of the competition channel according to their positions. The referee and two vice referees enter the referee channel. A picture selection box appears on the Happy Family.

"Please choose the match map..."

A magnified prompt character pops up on the screen, and the captain of the Happy Family began to select pictures in the gallery, and finally confirmed it as "Red Maple Villa".

Li Xiang is most familiar with Wu Zewen because it is the most commonly used map in the National College League and the map with the highest probability of qualifying in online games. The selection of maps on the Happy Family is too routine. Obviously, they have not made special tactical arrangements for the map, so they should follow the most common playing methods in online games.

Select the picture to confirm, and the prompt pops up again on the screen—

"The blue square selects map [Red Maple Villa], please adjust the attribute points, skill points and equipment for both parties, and the countdown is 300,299..."

The equipment and skill points must be adjusted within 5 minutes. This is common sense that all contestants should know. Liu Chuan has also trained with several teammates specifically, and everyone quickly adjusted it. In 5 minutes, players can adjust their mood while adjusting the equipment and attribute points. The background will load the character and map data during this period. After the countdown is over, the picture in front of everyone changes and they immediately enter the competition venue.

The scenery of Red Maple Villa is still as beautiful as before. The golden light of the sunset is projected on the quiet villa. Large areas of red maple leaves flutter in the wind. The entire villa's ground is covered with maple leaves, as if it is covered with a thick red carpet.

The contestants on both sides refreshed in small pavilions in the southwest and northeast corners of Hongfeng Villa.

Liu Chuan said, "Previously split the way, let's see how they fight first."

The conventional division he mentioned was the division method determined later when the six people fought in a team battle. Xu Ce and Jiang Shaoqing walked on the road, Liu Chuan and Xiaoyu walked on the middle road, Wu Zewen and Li Xiang walked on the bottom road, so that each road had output, assist, and cooperated with each other, and it would be more stable when encountering the opposite duo.

The six people were in the upper, middle and lower three lines to investigate, but at this time, a boo suddenly broke out in the audience downstairs.

"Damn, the sea embraces all rivers?"

Obviously, it was because Liu Chuan's id appeared on the live broadcast screen, which caused a sensation on the scene.

"Who is this person? How dare you use this id? Are all fans of Chuan Shen dead?"

"So shameless!"

"He hasn't never heard of Haina Baichuan, right? And he also plays Tangmen?!"

"I actually use the ID of the retired master as my name. This guy is so brave! Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the fans of Chuan God to death?"

The group of people around began to curse, all of whom regarded Liu Chuan as a bold and shameless person, and actually dared to use the id of the retired master as his name, "Zheng Shi". Only Qin Ye continued to sit in the audience and lowered his head to drink tea calmly.

At this moment, Didi's alarm suddenly sounded on the big screen!

When Li Xiang saw three people appearing on the opposite side, he immediately called a red alarm mark of "discovering the enemy". After three consecutive hits, Liu Chuan immediately understood the meaning of discovering three people in the bottom lane. At the same time, Jiang Shaoqing, who was on the top lane, also pointed three red marks in a row, indicating that three people were also found on the top lane.

There was actually a three-third branch road opposite, three people on the top road, three people on the bottom road, and no one in the middle road...
To be continued...
