Chapter 398 Battle of Butterflies
In the early morning of May 23rd, the fifth round of [Battle of Cocoon] and the last round of this stage began.
At this stage of the game, the factors of accidental advancement are almost negligible. Every player left behind is undoubtedly a strong one.
Wang Tanzhi's opponent this round is a professional player who belongs to the "Gods" studio. Although this man is not as powerful as the Four Gods, he is by no means an ordinary person, and his strength is no less than that of a star player.
Shortly after the random allocation was completed, this game was selected as the "Focus Battle of this Round" by the staff of Dream Company.
, put it on the main screen of the mall, and broadcast live in thousands of mall planes.
Feng Bujue had already guessed that this would happen, because the ID [Wang Sigh] had been rotated on the forum for a day. Although it was not as sensational as Jue Ge when the list of specially invited players was announced, it still attracted a lot of attention.
How could an unknown person eliminate Seven Kills, who was ranked sixteenth in the combat power rankings? Who is this person? Which studio? What means were used? What specialization are you practicing?
Rumors started to spread again! Many players who knew Xiaotan and more players who didn’t know Xiaotan came out one after another and posted comments about him...
The click-through rate of Xiaotan's past game videos has also skyrocketed. Except for the bye game, the other three games have become the focus of discussion.
By this time, no one doubted Xiaotan's strength anymore, and the bye seemed to be an unimportant matter. Looking back... In two of Wang Tanzhi's three games, he was able to kill with one strike. It can be said that killing someone doesn't require a second blow... and the showdown between him and Qisha was even more breathtaking. Especially the last minute battle... is undoubtedly the best in the game.
To sum up, it is logical that Xiao Tan’s fifth round of competition is brought to the main screen.
However, the process of this game was not as exciting as people imagined. Because...the two of them only played for three minutes from beginning to end. The winner has been decided.
Wang Tanzhi won calmly, so easily that the process seemed quite boring. Many people even doubt... whether his opponent is a little too weak...
But... there are also a small number of people who saw something different from this game. Those who are at the top of the game have listed [Wang Lai Zhi] as one of the opponents they least want to meet...
…………
At two o'clock in the morning on the 23rd, the [Battle of Cocoon] officially came to an end.
The list of the top 100 players for the first peak competition in Thriller Paradise has been officially released. Ninety strong players and ten seeded players who have been screened are all on it.
The subsequent [Butterfly Battle] will begin in the early morning of May 25th, and will also be fought in sleep mode. There is only one round in this stage. The fifty victorious people can enter the final stage - "Peak Hegemony".
The biggest difference between [Butterfly Battle] and [Cocoon Battle] is that the battle list will be decided in advance and announced...
Although the basis for matching is random, the difference between randomization in advance and temporary randomization during queuing... is like a world of difference.
The battle list has been announced in the early morning of the 23rd, which means... players still have nearly forty-eight hours to prepare before the [Butterfly Battle] begins. During this time, there are many things that a contestant, or the team behind a contestant, can do. For example, investigate the opponent's information, study the opponent's game videos, purchase targeted equipment or skills, etc.
Such an arrangement. Naturally, it caused a great response among the players. The forum was once again in turmoil, and many conspiracy theorists became active again, pointing out that this was Dream Company helping the studio to harm casual players with no money and power...
Undeniable. As a casual player, Feng Bujue has indeed become a vulnerable group under such rules. And the most troublesome thing is that he must win...
One. With the aura of being a "special guest player" on his head, he was the target of public criticism and was defeated in one battle. It is inevitable that he will be talked about; secondly, he can now be regarded as Woody's subordinate, a veritable frontline of hell and the vanguard of darkness. It would be unreasonable to fail to even complete the first step of this first task.
Therefore, Brother Jue is also quite concerned about this competition.
It's just...the actual situation is much more severe than imagined. Because Feng Bujue’s opponent in [Battle of Butterflies] happened to be a specially invited player - [Xu Huaishang].
As mentioned earlier, although Xu Huaishang is anonymous in the combat rankings, this does not affect her status as a star player.
The reason for this will be discussed in detail now...
First of all, this is a beauty, a real-life beauty; secondly, she is a professional player and the number one expert in the "Red Sakura" studio.
Based on these two points alone, it is normal for her to become famous.
No matter what age you are, the words "beautiful gamer" can always attract attention. Of course, generally speaking, people don’t have high expectations for the gaming level of so-called “beautiful players”…
But Xu Huaishang is different. She is the first female player in the history of e-sports to win an international competition. I don’t know if it is unprecedented, but it must be unprecedented...
Early before joining the game Horror Paradise, Xu Huaishang was already a superstar in the gaming industry. In terms of popularity, "Drunken Life and Dream of Death" of Order and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Gods all had to stand aside, not to mention Dao Jianxiao of Jianghu, and the Ice Emperor Cowherd Group was like dust...
In terms of appearance, [Yama], who is also a female player, is definitely not inferior to Xu Huaishang in strength, and her appearance in real life is also good. But standing next to Xu Huaishang, she basically becomes a passerby...
With Xu Huaishang's conditions, it is more than enough to join the film and television industry. Several well-known agencies have tried to sign her. Various senior scouts have made it clear that with her image and temperament, she can go directly to Hollywood and become the next Bond girl. The heroine is a sure thing, and the audience will still pay for her to be a vase.
But Xu Huaishang resolutely chose to develop in the gaming industry. Even though the income of being a celebrity player is much lower than that of being a celebrity, and even though it is very difficult for women to stand out in this industry, she doesn't care. With her absolute strength, she has won many honors and has become a recognized top player.
Perhaps it is precisely because of Xu Huaishang's persistence in the gaming industry that the number of her fans in the gaming circle is no less than that of any movie star, and she has many die-hard fans. It can be said that she is a unique queen-like existence in the gaming industry.
It is obviously not good for Feng Bujue to meet such an opponent...
From the off-field factors, Xu Huaishang has more than a million supporters. And the ID [Feng Bujue] is an urban legend... People have heard many legends about him, but almost no one has really seen him... let alone any support.
From the perspective of objective strength, Jue Ge ranks second in the combat power list, and Xu Huaishang ranks fourteenth. Both of them are in the top 20, and they are also invited players. At least according to the system's calculation method... the gap between them is not so big.
Furthermore, Xu Huaishang is a professional master who has long been famous. As the saying goes, there is no false person under a great reputation, and Jue Ge himself did not expect the other party to be weak.
Perhaps the only fair point is the "pre-match intelligence collection". Since neither of them participated in the [Cocoon War], no one left a video of the game. As for character intelligence (main weapons, equipment, skills, fighting style, etc.)... Feng Bujue is just a casual player, and there is no reliable channel to explore the opponent's information; and Xu Huaishang, although she has the information support of the studio, but for Feng Bujue's situation, "Hongying" is also helpless...
In short... This game has a lot of highlights, and the outcome is unpredictable.
Dream Company also announced in advance without hesitation: This battle will be put on the main screen and broadcast live with the highest priority.
This [Butterfly Battle] attracted the attention of countless people. There are too many questions that will be revealed in this battle...
[Feng Bujue], who is this guy who suddenly killed the second place in the combat power ranking? Even Xu Huaishang is very curious about this... (To be continued...)
