Chapter 796: Battle of the White Country (Part 2)

[Kill four members of the "Corn Fruit" team. 】

The content of the main mission can be described as concise and to the point.

Since the captain of the opposing team did not choose privacy protection, his team name was clearly stated in the main mission of Hell Front.

In contrast, the main mission the opponent received was [Kill four members of the enemy team], which did not include the name of the Hell Front team.

"Ah... I really can't see it." Xiao sighed after opening the game menu. The first thing he noticed... was that the team bar in this mode was different from ordinary killing games.

The rules post on the official website also stated in advance: In this mode, when players open the game menu, they can only see the nickname, level and survival status of their teammates, but this part of the enemy's information is not displayed.

Compared with the setting of killing games where "the enemy's ID and real-time survival status can be seen from the beginning", the new rules in S2 team battles undoubtedly add many uncertainties to the game.

You know... the skills in the Horror Paradise are ever-changing, and anything can happen before the opponent's body turns into white light and disappears. So...last strike has become a very important habit in this mode.

"Isn't it just invisible..." ≠, Hua indirectly said.

"I'm talking about you..." Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Sigh with blank eyes, "Have you never read the posts on the official website carefully?"

"Well...I've seen it before." Xiao Tan replied with some lack of confidence.

"I said 'look carefully'." Xiao Ling raised her hand and made a quotation mark gesture.

"Okay... I just read through the pinned post on the official website, and didn't remember all the details..." Xiaotan immediately replied in a tone that sounded like he was admitting his mistake.

Actually...he doesn't need to be like this, because his behavior is very "normal". The vast majority of players will not write down all the rules, settings and other information in detail. In fact, not many people will "read through" it. Many people just focus on what they are interested in and just skim over other aspects.

It's a pity... Xiaotan is not in a "normal" team, and his teammates are not by any means "the vast majority of players".

These people on the Hell Front are basically the type who have memorized the rules of the game completely and in detail in their minds beforehand. So much so that Xiaotan's behavior seems nothing inappropriate to outsiders. It seems like "lazy".

"Forget it, let's make up for it after this fight." Xiao Ling said, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Tan, and raised his hand to rub the latter's hair.

This scene looks like training a pet...

"Yeah." Xiaotan smiled happily and accepted the other party's behavior.

"These two guys... this is a blatant show of affection..." Brother Jue, who was watching as a spectator, couldn't help but vomit after seeing this, "And they are still loved..."

Of course, what Feng Bujue said could not be heard by other players in the script. At this time, Brother Jue does not have an "entity". To put it simply... the system has not generated a body for him at all. So now he always maintains the "first-person" perspective, which is the same as when watching the opening CG; he can watch, listen, and complain. But you cannot exert any influence on the people or things in the script.

"Speaking of which... this [observer] perspective feels similar to the 'dead observation perspective' of CS (that is, "Counter-Strike", a shooting game series developed by Valve)." Feng Bujue then continued, " However, CS’s dead person observation perspective can have multiple observation modes, and the observer’s perspective can only be switched back and forth behind one’s teammates.”

Although Brother Jue feels that such restrictions are a bit inconvenient, he can also understand the intention of doing so...

Obviously, there is no technical difficulty in "full viewing angle" switching and shifting. There must be a reason why the people who set the rules of the game limit the freedom of the observer's perspective...

In a game like CS where "a single map covers an area of ​​less than an acre. There are at most 32 gentlemen with rough character maps scattered on the map", it really doesn't matter if you let the observers fly around and look around. But in a game like Thriller Park with lifelike characters, numerous NPCs, and a huge map, a completely unrestricted observer... can do all kinds of obscene things. In order to prevent this situation. It is undoubtedly a good choice to fix the observer's perspective at a higher and higher bird's-eye view similar to that of "third-person shooting".

"That's right." On the other side, as soon as Xiaoling and Xiaotan finished speaking, Huajian made a suggestion to his teammates. "Let's use the resurrection effect of [The Rod of Asclepius] first."

The third special effect of her legendary weapon - the power of immortality - can be used once in each scenario, and there is no "duration" limit. So the script can be considered for someone right from the start.

"Well..." Xiao Ling raised her lips and continued thoughtfully, "Generally speaking, special effects like 'save an extra life in advance' should be used on the strongest people, so..."

Having said this, her eyes had already moved to Ruoyu, and Xiaotan and Huajian also looked at the latter in unison. It seems... everyone has a consensus on who is the strongest in the team.

"Well, let's use it." Ruoyu didn't mean to refuse.

In Feng Bujue's absence, Ruoyu had to act as captain. She is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. When she is burdened with the word "captain", both her strategy and actual actions will be affected by this "responsibility", which means she is somewhat self-restrained. With the guarantee of "resurrection", she can perform with greater confidence.

Therefore, Huajian quickly blessed Ruoyu with the special effects of "immortal power". After completion, everyone began to discuss the next combat strategy...

Since Brother Jue is away, the job of analyzing the plot falls on Xiao Ling.

"Well... so far, I don't see any misleading words or hidden hints in the script introduction..." About two minutes later, Xiaoling put his hand to his lips as if thinking, and said to his teammates while thinking , "As for the plot... everyone knows it, and it's not a very complicated story. But I think the more important things that need attention are the following points..." She analyzed the problem in a very orderly manner, "First, the 'Three Birds' and the 'Three Eyes' must be the key to this script, and deciphering their true meaning will bring great help to the players; secondly, the curse of the 'King' is There is a big suspense left in the introduction, which will definitely bring considerable benefits after solving it; thirdly, from the CG point of view, there are magic, siege beasts, black technology, etc. in this script world, so there are humans here. The army must be very strong, at least more powerful than the ancient armies in our real world. Based on this... the combat power of the 'goddess' is probably ridiculously high... given this setting, I think. It is extremely difficult to 'take advantage' of the 'goddess'. If you are not careful, you will get burned. Besides... as a relatively strong party, we don't really need to rely on the power of NPCs. So I suggest... …It’s better not to try it.”

"Eh? How come we have become the stronger party..." Xiaotan asked confused at this time.

"Idiot." Xiao Ling hit him on the head, "You are also a top 50 player in Peak Contest S1. Compared with casual players who are average in strength, you are worthy of 1.5 people, right?" She added Pointing at Ruoyu, "My cousin is stronger than you, and now has 'two lives', so it's okay to count as 3.5 people, right?"

Huajian also continued: "Based on this, the combat power between us and the opponent is at least 7:4."

"Hey..." Xiao Tan muttered. "We haven't even met the enemy team members yet, so is it appropriate to just define them as 'casual players with average strength'..."

"Do you think a team named 'Corn Fruit' that doesn't even mention privacy protection can be a professional team?" Xiao Ling asked.

"Uh..." Xiaotan couldn't refute.

…………

same moment. More than ten kilometers away, there is another place in the Ginkgo ruins.

The captain of the Corn Fruit Team [Elementary School Dog] is also asking their team's think tank [Liu Sanfeng] for strategies.

The other two team members standing aside were named [Loneliest when I miss you] and [Mighty and Domineering].

Let me briefly introduce these four...

The first is [Elementary School Dog]. Although the nickname used by this person is not very elegant, but if you think about it carefully... this is probably a name that can only be registered by veteran players of the closed beta.

From the attitude of his naming, it is not difficult to tell... This is probably a person who has a high self-esteem, is good at retreating in order to advance, and likes to achieve the effect of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

In fact. He really is such a person...

[Elementary School Dog] is an individual professional player, and his strength is indeed not bad. It can be said that he is "above blue-collar, but not a star". But it is this positioning of strength that makes his career path very embarrassing...

If you stay in a first-tier game studio, you can only do blue-collar work; if you go to a second-tier studio, although you will be the main force, you will not be an ace; if you go to a third-tier studio... you can become an ace. , but it’s a pity that small companies themselves are very unstable. Many of them were disbanded after being open for a few months without making much money. Moreover, the income may not be as high as that of blue-collar players in first-tier studios, and the reputation may not be as high.

All in all, [Primary School Dog] belongs to the category of "chicken head and phoenix tail". When facing ordinary players, they are usually very confident and have a sense of superiority. However, when facing top players, they can also feel the gap in strength, and soon feel powerless in their hearts...

In terms of appearance, Brother Gou looks very simple, which fits his character of "pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger" - unmodified appearance, fresh short hair, and a well-proportioned figure. He is wearing a very practical commando uniform with many pockets, easy movement, and good heat and cold resistance.

In this competition, Brother Gou found three non-professional players who he thought were quite capable to form a team (the spectators were his friends, purely casual players, who were recruited to make up the numbers), and the goals he set were not very ambitious - the results of the preliminaries Top one hundred.

He also knows very well that the higher goal may not be achieved with the configuration of this team. Whether he can enter the top 100 in the preliminaries depends on luck.

Let’s look at the second person, [Liu Sanfeng].

This is a teammate that [Primary School Dog] is very optimistic about, and he is also the first teammate he invites.

[Liu Sanfeng] is also an old player who created an account during the closed beta. Although he is not a professional, he is a rare player with "both civil and military skills". It feels a bit similar to Pikachu... oh no... and [Autumn Wind Se]'s style, but Pika... uh... Qiu Feng Se is stronger than him in all aspects.

In terms of appearance, Liu Sanfeng's style is completely opposite to that of Gou Ge, and he looks quite gorgeous. He adjusted his appearance in the game to be quite handsome, with long hair and a slim figure. He wore a black and gold bodysuit that showed off his figure.

Next, it was the third person... [I'm the most lonely when I miss you].

This nickname, I'm sure someone still remembers it. That's right, he was one of the high school couple that Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi met when they first queued for the team survival mode. The girl he was with at the time was called [I'm the most lonely when I miss you].

Undoubtedly, he is also an internal test player. In terms of strength... he is very strong now.

Why say "now"? Because more than a month ago, he broke up with his girlfriend...

That... was a rainy day.

At the bus stop after school, the classmate [I'm the most lonely when I miss you] broke off contact with the lonely boy on the grounds that "my parents said that I would delay my studies."

When the word "break up" came out. There was a sudden thunder in the sky.

Something seemed to break in the lonely boy's chest...

At that moment, the melody of "all_out_of_love" suddenly sounded on the electronic billboard across the street - "im_all_out_of_love~what_aoo_late~to_say_that_i_was_so_wrong~"

Okay, the actual situation may not be so dramatic...but it seems to be like this in his memory.

In short, his girlfriend never talked to him again, and even if they occasionally passed by each other at school, she ignored him. Even the game account... was deleted.

In a sense, from then on. The nickname of lonely boy became a kind of irony, and...it was well deserved...

But...the thing of lovelorn has two sides. The lonely boy who was frustrated in love immediately invested all his energy in the game world. He used the time that was originally used for eating, shopping and watching movies. He spent all his money on playing games; he spent the money that he would have used for eating, shopping and watching movies on games; he spent all his thoughts on his girlfriend on games...

The lonely guy diverted his attention through games and gradually healed his inner pain. And unknowingly... became a very strong player.

He had known [Xiaoxuegou] for some time, and the fact that Gouge chose him as a teammate also reflected his ability from the side.

Finally. Let's look at the fourth person - [Mighty and Domineering].

This is the only non-beta player in the "Corn Fruit" team. He has not been in contact with Horror Paradise for a long time. He just joined the game when the Peak Hegemony S1 entered the finals. From the "丶" in his name, you can see that... At that time, it was a bit difficult for players who applied for an account to think of an unused nickname without characters (after the v1.10 version update, the official relaxed the limit nickname. Now players of "Horror Paradise" can use a name of up to 18 characters, which can be mixed with one or two special characters).

As for Brother Weiwu's appearance... He is indeed very majestic, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face and straight forehead... In the movies of the 1980s and 1990s, he must be a positive character. Treason is something that only those bald men with small eyes would do. Even if those with thick eyebrows and big eyes are in the enemy camp, they are mostly underground party members.

In terms of strength, Brother Weiwu is also very strong. As a casual player, he was able to rush from level 1 to level 42 in just over two months. In addition to being "rich and free", his own ability cannot be ignored.

Of course, this is also related to the current game environment... After all, the server has been open for so long, and there are already various level-up strategies on the forum; there are also "leading team leveling" services of various studios, which can also allow newcomers to easily upgrade their levels and equipment.

Take another player [Juan Menghuan], the former [Shi Dao Wei Wang] as an example. It took him less than a month to level up from level 1 to level 34 (see Chapter 582), and now he is heading for level 50... So, in this version, the difficulty of leveling up is much lower than that of the "pioneer era".

As long as you make full use of your daily game time, read more guides, prepare double experience cards, and don't be too weak... even if you are a casual player, it is not a dream to level up to level 40 in two months.

The above are the four members of the Corn Fruit Team. As for the strength of the whole team... it is indeed a few points stronger than the team formed by "casual players with average strength". But if you really meet a professional team, you basically can't beat them.

As for the reason why they didn't enable the privacy protection function... there are two main reasons. First, it is because of the personality of the captain [Xiaoxuegou]. A person who likes to "play dumb and eat tigers" actually wants to show himself, but their way of expression and means are not as ostentatious as "forcibly pretending to be cool" and not as deep as "invisible pretending to be cool". But in any case, he is definitely unwilling to let Brother Dog be anonymous. Besides... he had his own plan in mind... it would be best if he could make a name for himself in S2, and then he could get a main position in a first-tier studio to get out of his current embarrassing situation. If he covered up his "appearance" and "team name", how would he be remembered?

The second thing is that their strategist [Liu Sanfeng] really didn't think about the problem of "privacy protection function" so far. Otherwise, he was not as good as Pikachu... When he realized the problem later, the preliminaries had been played for more than ten rounds. At that time, their team information had basically been studied by others, and it was too late to cover it up.

"Okay, it's settled."

Five minutes after the script started, the five members of the Corn Fruit Team had already formulated a strategy. Their tactical thinking was actually the same as that of the Hell Front Team...

But the thinking process was very different...

Their thinking process was: nothing can be inferred from the script introduction, so let's not worry about the plot; the opponent didn't even show the team name, and it was probably an unknown team, so it was very likely a casual player... We have a professional player sitting here, who can fight two people, so our combat power is at least 5:4 with the opponent. There is no need to take advantage of the situation. Go and kill them quickly, which is more beneficial to us.

Probably... That's the process...

And such a set of strategies undoubtedly kicked off a tragedy. (To be continued...)
