Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 239 The wind of Sunshine City finally blows to the underground plain

With Boris stepping down and the quarrels gradually subsided, the Adventurers Association seems to have finally gotten a precious breather.

While Ke Miyang actively betrayed the association's interests, he also couldn't wait to exclude dissidents.

Boris was riddled with scandals and Grad remained silent, so a large number of their personnel were easily dismissed and demoted.

Therefore, both the high-end and the backbone of the association, even the cannon fodder, have suffered a serious loss of combat power, which can be said to be a serious loss of vitality.

As a result, the Adventurers Association, which even had its own base camp bombed into rubble, was forced to withdraw from the high-end stage of Sunshine City.

Maybe Mi Yang's backstab was too sharp, and it took some time for everyone to calm down their shock.

It may also be that Mi Yang's massive loss of money, which is comparable to that of Cixi, is too extravagant. Neighbors, big and small, are still busy exercising and digesting it at home.

In short, Sunshine City was unusually quiet for the next two days, and all strange activities and secret fights disappeared.

Even the small gangs in the outer city stopped their daily bickering and retreated back to their own territory without showing their presence.

But no one will be happy about this, because everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

Now the longer everyone holds back their fists, the more powerful the punch will be.

Someone may die, a whole group of people! It even caused the entire Sunshine City to collapse!

So Ji Ming also seized this time and asked White Wolf Fairlo to quickly design some small dungeons that can supervise the development of players.

The current combat strength of the players can be maintained, unless the tauren of the Iron Hoof Tribe and the Cyclops of the Demon Spirit Tribe collectively go crazy.

Otherwise, there would be no powerful opponent in today's underground plain that would allow them to mobilize all their strength, carry guns and cannons, or even dispatch all their troops.

In other words, if Ji Ming didn't want the players to be exposed so quickly, he built a one-way air wall around the mercenary camp.

I am afraid that they have already broken through the shabby defenses of the mercenaries, rushed out of the underground, and rushed to the free and open beta life.

Then, the underground plain cannot be left, and the evil forces inside only have some small third-rate tribes that are so weak that they can be trampled to death by players.

Using them as dungeons will not have the proper supervision effect at all, and can only be used as special daily tasks for those more diligent players to sweep away.

The selection of materials for the next large-scale version update seems to have become an unsolvable problem...

Ferlo looked at the map in front of him in silence for a long time, then set his sights on the northern part of the logistics center.

"Lord Messenger, I heard them say that there are many undead souls here after World War I. Can we..."

This reminded Ji Ming that he originally guessed that the undead inside might be related to the Weird Dissent, so he has been arranging various surveillance and sentinels until now, for fear that they would suddenly go south.

But after such a long time, the Weird Council did jump up and down to do a lot of work, but this group of undead seemed to have hung up together without any movement at all.

and so……

"Since we can't determine whether they are friends or foes yet, sending people over rashly will only worsen the situation."

"And this place is the logistics base for the players. If there is a fight, it will go smoothly. If something goes wrong, the operations of the players will collapse!"

Maybe the original players could give up some of their lives and fight guerrillas, but now they have put on their shoes.

Behind these more than a thousand people is probably the will of tens of thousands of people, so they can no longer return to their previous barefoot state with their wealth.

"Hey, that would be really difficult..."

With a slight sigh, Ferlo's eyes wandered around the map.

He habitually tapped his fingers on each marked spot, and the result really gave him some inspiration.

"Sir Messenger, in fact, within our gang, the fastest way to get promoted is not to perform dangerous tasks, but to challenge all kinds of thugs."

"The one who can be beaten the most is the absolute leader of the gang. Even I, the boss, have to show some courtesy."

"But this player arena seems to have always been just a place for players to take advanced training exams. Can they also be allowed to compete here to hone their skills?"

Confrontation training?

Oh, it’s a sect competition, right?

This sect competition is a good thing. Countless heroes and fantasy protagonists have emerged here.

With one hand of showing off and slapping someone in the face, and with the other of leaping to the next level to kill, she won the favor of the beautiful sect master, her elder sister, and her junior sisters, and she quickly became famous.

You can even lay the groundwork in advance and arrange a few dog-licking lemon spirits who covet the new heroine to serve as a stepping stone for the protagonist, which will give you a great feeling.

And even in the real world, a military competition that year also revealed many legendary beings who could be called captains of China.

Now that Sunshine City is in turmoil, it is the right time to employ people.

Since we can't rely on external wars to test our level, there's no harm in having an internal competition to test the players' performance!

So in the name of "The 300th trainee player was finally born", the first dungeon competition began.

There are two types of events. The first is the team event. This design is relatively simple. Players can sign up as long as they gather five people.

However, the use of heavy weapons, biological and chemical weapons, and other types of weapons of mass destruction is prohibited in combat.

One person can use up to four types of equipment and props to fight against each other and eliminate them in a cycle until the final champion is chosen.

But if such a format is also used in single-player matches, it will be too bloated and long.

So Ji Ming used Mount and Blade as a reference. Ten people were thrown away in a round, and the three people standing at the end advanced.

As for the rewards of the competition, outstanding players who can enter the top 100 can get personal titles with corresponding numbers.

The top ten contestants will be given a special costume, the top three will be given a special cloak, and the champion will be awarded a super super super super awesome crown.

Although they are said to be specially made, there is actually nothing special about these accessories.

It was just dyed the so-called imperial purple to suit the ancient Roman aesthetic of the arena.

but……

This is a closed beta limited skin!

Limited, limited, limited to top-tier games, 80% of them are out-of-print!

So there was no need to consider whether players would come to participate. There were as many as there were over 1,400 players.

Even a fish-hunting maniac with only level 3 would have to rush in wearing a novice suit and look familiar.

Of course, at the end of the game rules.

[All interpretation rights for this event belong to the Great Holy See Company]

After thinking about it, Ji Ming felt that his back was still a little cold, so he added another sentence.

[The company reserves the right to increase or decrease relevant terms at any time]

Facts have proved that he was right to aggressively increase the overlord clause, because on the opening night, the players gave him a super job. The first thing is - I fell to the ground ≠ I died.

In order to make it easier for players to pick up other people's weapons and continue fighting, Ji Ming added a new setting of [the player's corpse will not disappear temporarily after death] in this special event.

Immediately, an organic ghost noticed the doorway. Not long after the war started, he quietly lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead while there were many people watching.

Someone in the audience must have noticed his bad behavior, fearing that others would interfere with the players' performance. There are soundproofing and partitions between the venue and the stands.

So when the last three survivors discovered that the battle had not been settled, they suspiciously signaled to the referee team composed of Ferlo and the instructors.

Tianzun, who was pretending to be dead, suddenly rose up and stabbed one of the lucky ones severely.

Then - you ban ≠ I can’t use it

The regulations only stipulate the number of props, and other settings are actually relatively rough.

So since "one" earth element is one thing, and "a bunch" of earth elements is also one thing, what if it's "a lot"?

It was a match between challengers and Starry Sky Team II. As soon as the battle began, Death took out a large nest of earth elements and started 3D printing on the spot.

The ancient machinery was not complicated. As long as they put some irreplaceable parts into their backpacks in advance, they could easily get a bed crossbow.

Star Team 2: Blanch!

The next thing is - your site is flat ≠ I have no favorable location.

It was a method similar to that of the challengers. The three Gunblade teams all changed their bows and crossbows, and built an arrow tower directly with earth elements on the ground.

Even their opponents were not clean and secretly brought some parts that could assist in hand-rubbing the ballista.

But even if this kind of weapon for plain warfare was built, it would not be able to defeat such a strong defensive building, so they had no choice but to surrender.

So the so-called team battle became a cyber casino, with trebuchets defeating high towers, high towers and bed crossbows, and bed crossbows defeating trebuchets.

The equipment slot is limited, so the weapons and equipment that players can use are also limited, so everyone is betting on which one the opponent will choose.

And except for those whose average combat power gap is particularly huge, almost no team can escape the influence of the law of restraint.

Ji Ming, who was watching from the sidelines, was almost excited, but whoever was in a hurry would lose. As a game producer, he couldn't change the rules on the spot.

As a result, as soon as he swallowed this breath, he saw the biggest cruelty of the night.

Completely smashed the singles competition - I compete ≠ I fight!

Not only did a certain Aurora Dancer wear three layers of iron armor when she went out, but she also mobilized the earth element to build a safe house for herself on the spot without saying anything.

This was a pure eagle game. The three players who had agreed to form an alliance in advance were forced to turn against each other on the spot. The battle ended only after drawing lots and killing one of them.

Originally, she thought that it would only be two rounds anyway, and she would definitely be sanctioned in the subsequent official competition.

But this time, as soon as Aurora landed on the ground, she picked up two flintlock guns and fired two shots at the opponent, then retreated directly to the safe house and acted like a bastard.

——Since it is a competition, there is naturally a set time, and the criterion for winning or losing a competition is...

The one who was least injured after three minutes won!

wonderful!

As long as you are quick, this is a sure way to win!

As a result, the eyes of the audience began to shine, and they began to look for relatives, friends, and even large guilds to rent earth elements.

As a result, as soon as the arrangements were almost made, I saw a prompt in my field of vision that new information had been received.

[It is prohibited to bring multiple pets into the competition, and you can only choose one main pet. . 】

But how can the players' whims and whims be restricted by just a few ridiculous regulations?

Some teams adopted the four-guarantee-one tactic.

The four people brought a total of twenty earth elements with their backpacks. From the beginning, they turned them into thick armor according to the planned design and put them on the thighs of nearly 20 levels. Then they looked at the nearly 40-level car. The full-blooded super land tank ran rampant, crushing the five people on the opposite side alive.

There are also players who have adopted extreme armed tactics.

Specially selecting those earth elements with a higher level that can make larger parts and stronger materials, he just used more than ten parts to make a simple version of the heavy weapon, killing the opponent by surprise.

Even Digimon tactics that are organically combined with personal characteristics.

The God of Death combined the earth element with two of his own little turtleback beasts to create a super armored turtle with spikes all over its body. There are holes everywhere it goes, and it directly kills enemies who can't dodge, all at once. Have a lot of thoughts.

And these are just special operations using game mechanics.

As for the infighting, off-site bribery, and underhanded tactics that often appear in regular competitions, there are countless others.

So much so that Ji Ming had to add a new rule every time he watched the game, and every time the players played a round, they had to figure out a new loophole.

——Where is the player arena? This is clearly a plan for a player war!

And maybe there are a lot of bad things in PVP, but the popularity of PVP when done well is indeed higher than that of pure PVE games.

After such a wave of ruthless activities, the popularity of the game, which had already been declining, instantly returned to its peak.

And even for such an unprofessional event, the global ratings have far exceeded that of the World Cup final.

After all, the big guys come to play football once every four years. What big scene hasn’t been seen in all these years?

But five female players got into a fight on the spot because of output problems, five male players greeted each other's parents because of operational problems, and even two couples cheated on each other because of coordination problems. It was really too exciting!

So Ji Ming, a modern man, could still continue to add clauses while wiping his sweat profusely, but Ferro and other referees were already dead in the stands.

"It's such a small scene. There will be more of this in the future."

A clause has been added that prohibits strapping explosives to yourself or your teammates and transforming into Crazy Ivan. Ji Ming was about to see what tricks the players in the next game could do when he suddenly received a report from Chloe.

[Unexpected incident, Varya, the daughter of the Cyclops chieftain, requested to enter the dungeon! 】

???

Ji Ming opened the game map and was about to instruct Chloe to ask the other party's intentions, but he was stunned.

The cyclops, which had been huddled in the forest until now, suddenly appeared in large numbers on the plains.

And they were all divided into very small teams, either in other tribes or on their way to other tribes.

As for the reason for all this, although he didn't know, he could make a rough guess.

That is the easternmost part of the underground plain, the only place that players have not set foot in.

There were only a few hundred people in the mercenary camp before, but now the number has at least tripled!

Dean An, is it your turn now?
