Online game: Hanging out in the beauty studio

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhongzhou, Imperial City.

Although Li Qianfan and his party have been in Zhongzhou for a long time, they have never set foot in the Imperial City.

There is no doubt that the prototype of the Imperial City is the ancient Chang'an, and it is the plus version of Chang'an.

Under normal circumstances, the upper limit of the number of players that the Imperial City can accommodate is five million.

Considering that the number of players who come to watch the Mingjian Conference may reach an extremely exaggerated number during the Mingjian Conference, the official also very considerately enabled the "plane diversion" technology.

That is, a plane can only accommodate five million people. When it is overcrowded, the system will automatically generate another plane to accommodate the players who enter the Imperial City later.

"Brother Fan, I'm in the outer city. Where are you now?"

"South Gate, the entrance to Zhuque Street."

"I'm right here. The small map shows you're right next to me. Why can't I see you?"

"Oh, have you been diverted by the system? Look at the upper left corner of your map. There should be a line of words on it, showing which plane you were diverted to..."

"Where... Oh, I see. I'm in plane 3."

"Okay, wait for me a moment. I'll be there soon."

Li Qianfan and Shen Jiayan were teleported directly from Black Stone City to the Imperial City. Xia Zhilan was busy with the first generation of saint missions, so she arrived an hour later than the two.

Therefore, when Li Qianfan suddenly appeared in front of her after switching planes, Xia Zhilan's face suddenly showed the joy of reunion after a long absence. She subconsciously raised her hands and made a gesture of hugging.

There was no way. Who told her to rush over and hug Shen Jiayan when she reunited with her after a long absence?

As a result, the next second...

She was completely stunned.

Because only Li Qianfan came.

So she stood in front of Li Qianfan with her hands raised, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should hug him...

Li Qianfan also saw her embarrassment, so he immediately joked to save her:

"You are late, the game starts with the lowest points. Yanyan and I don't have many points. She is ready to go on stage. I think it will be my turn soon..."

After hearing this, Xia Zhilan jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Then, she grabbed Li Qianfan's hand and ran towards the inner city without looking back.

"Oh, it's all my fault! The output is too low, and it's too slow to kill monsters! I shouldn't have accepted that task... Brother Fan, hurry up, we can't miss Yanyan's first game!"

Shen Jiayan's points ranking is 8848, so her player number is 8848.

Li Qianfan's points were slightly higher than hers, barely ranking 7643.

It is said that the top 1,000 have the opportunity to freely choose a region.

And those in the middle and lower levels like them can only wait for the system to randomly assign them.

Shen Jiayan was assigned to the eighth region, and Li Qianfan was assigned to the third region.

Judging from the route map of the competition, they have no chance to meet in the short term.

"Brother Fan, I heard from Sister Lin yesterday that our Xinghe Rugu's performance seems to be pretty good? I heard that 20 to 30 people entered the main competition?"

"Yes, Banana Coffee and Apple Coffee both made it, and there are also many new members who joined later, such as Ye Guanlan (Lu Miao) and Bu Wen Bie Li... Overall, the strength of our guild should be pretty good."

"What about Dreams and Blood Oath?"

"Well, this... You can tell by looking at the list of players."

Like Li Qianfan, who has been busy improving himself recently, Xia Zhilan has also been immersed in the first generation of saints' quest line during this period, so she has no time to pay attention to other issues.

Therefore, after hearing what Li Qianfan said, Xia Zhilan subconsciously opened the list of players.

As a result, she just took a look and her face fell on the spot.

"Blood oath, blood oath, blood oath, gods, dreams, dreams, gods... Why are all the IDs with big guild titles? There must be hundreds of people on this page alone, right?"

Sure enough, there is still a big gap between Xinghe Rugu and the top big guilds...

Xia Zhilan's emotions are basically written on her face.

Seeing this, Li Qianfan had to smile and comfort her:

"Take your time, don't worry, these are old guilds that have been established for many years, they are not short of manpower or capital, and the current Xinghe Rugu is definitely not comparable to them..."

Speaking of this, Li Qianfan deliberately paused, and then winked at Xia Zhilan and said:

"But it's not certain in the future, because Xinghe Rugu has me! I alone can be their division..."Li Qianfan rarely brags in front of outsiders. He just wants to make Xia Zhilan happy, so he brags so shamelessly.

Hearing this, Xia Zhilan doesn't think Li Qianfan is bragging at all, but nods thoughtfully:

"Yes, Brother Fan, you are so powerful, one person can definitely be as good as their division! So in the future, we will definitely not be worse than Blood Dream!"

"Haha, as long as you have confidence... Let's go, Yanyan's competition should start soon."

As the two talked, they followed the crowd to the inner city of the imperial city.

At this time, the imperial city is just like the prosperous Chang'an in "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

Long streets and short alleys, shops are lined up.

The traffic is busy and the crowd is surging.

The solemn and solemn palace not far away contrasts with the bustling shops along the street. The bustling crowd shuttles through the streets and alleys, together outlining a prosperous scene.

Because it is an official event, the official also specially arranged a complete background story for the Mingjian Conference to enhance the player's sense of immersion.

If players are willing to spend time digging deeper, they may be able to take this opportunity to receive legendary tasks related to top NPCs...

The Imperial City is mainly composed of three parts: the outer city, the inner city, and the palace.

The sword arena is arranged on the largest square in the inner city.

If players want to enter the inner city to watch the battle, they have to pay a ticket of 10 taels of gold, which is equivalent to about 1,000 federal coins.

It's not much, but for ordinary players, it is also a considerable expense.

Don't look at Xia Zhilan as a little rich woman in reality, who always clamors to treat guests, but in fact she is very stingy in the game, and 10 taels of gold is enough to make her feel extremely painful.

After paying the ticket money, she still turned around and complained:

"Ah, the official really doesn't help, but once they do, it's so scary... A thousand yuan ticket, there are still so many people coming to watch, isn't this rushing to give money?"

By the way, the reason why Xia Zhilan developed this habit is mainly because after Xinghe Rugu occupied Black Stone City, the gold coins consumed every day were in huge quantities.

Xia Zhilan also has the authority to check the guild funds, so she knows very well...

In order to maintain the daily operation of Black Stone City, Lin Yue worries about gold coins every day, fearing that one day there will be a situation where the income is not enough to cover the expenses.

She can't help with other things, but she can help save money, right?

Therefore, she changed her previous style of being a big lady and developed the good character of being frugal and managing the household today.

Let's not talk about it.

After arriving in the inner city, the two found the ID of Ri Nuan Wan Nian Zhi on the sword arena page, and then clicked "watch the game" to be directly transferred to the competition area where Shen Jiayan was.

Yes, after all the formalities, we still have to rely on teleportation in the end.

There is no way, who can help it, because there are too many games at the same time?

If there is no teleportation, the players on the scene will miss many exciting games.

But the ticket money is not wasted.

In order to make the players who spent money feel that it is worth the money, the official not only configures two professional commentators for each competition area, but also adds functions such as player information, post-match analysis, and win rate prediction to the sword-fighting platform interface for players who bought tickets, and the above information will be updated in real time.

Don't underestimate these functions.

After all, this is official data, not data calculated by renting a third-party server, and the authority of the two is not comparable.

It is just for the sake of confidentiality, so the above content has not been updated yet.

You must wait until the players officially play in the game, and functions such as post-match analysis can be used.

It was a coincidence that although Xia Zhilan was half an hour late, because she ran very fast on the road, he and Li Qianfan had just teleported to the eighth division when the commentator's voice rang in their ears-

"District Eight, the 14th match is about to begin, please look forward to it."

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator for this match, Youzi, now let me introduce some basic information of the players on both sides."

"The red player ID is '日暖万年枝', and the gang is '星河如故' , total 2782 games, 54.36% win rate, 8848 points ranking. ”

“Blue player ID ‘Changhe, Tiesuo Hengjiang’, gang ‘Changhe Luori’, total 1634 games, 58.75% win rate, 8103 points ranking. ”

“From the win rate, the difference in strength between the two sides is not big…”

“Of course, it is not ruled out that both sides have hidden strength…”

“In addition, according to the public information of the players, Ri Nuan Wannianzhi comes from the hidden sect “Yi"Flower Palace", Changhe and Tiesuo Hengjiang are from the hidden sect "Red Whale Gang". "

"Red Whale Gang must be familiar to many players. It is actually one of the dungeons of the largest dungeon group "Nine Bends and Eighteen Villages" in Lanzhou area, so players who have played this dungeon should know..."

"The characteristics of "Red Whale Gang" are extremely high defense, extremely fast speed, and the output method is mainly external power close combat. In this respect, it is quite similar to the "Yihua Palace" of Ri Nuan Wannianzhi player..."

"Now, let's enjoy this wonderful duel together! ”

Perhaps because it was an official match, the commentator was obviously a little restrained.

Therefore, as soon as she finished speaking, boos rang out at the scene.

There was no way, because Shen Jiayan was not an unknown passerby player.

In addition to the support of Xinghe Rugu and Zhaoye Yushi, Shen Jiayan herself was also an influential game blogger, and she was the kind who had become popular with her appearance and skills.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least 50,000 of the 100,000 spectators at the scene came for her.

The reason why the audience booed was mainly because the commentator was too official and did not dare to mention these off-site information at all, as if he did not allow everyone to eat melons.

But at this moment, Xia Zhilan suddenly said after realizing it:

"Hey, I remember that Yanyan told me a few days ago that the official staff seemed to have contacted her and said that they wanted to invite her to be a commentator, but she did not agree..."

Hearing this, Li Qianfan was aroused and immediately asked back:

"Really? She has been with me all day recently, how come I haven't heard her mention it? "

"Of course, Yanyan is so tight-lipped! You are not her best friend, how could she tell you these things!"

After saying that, Xia Zhilan did not forget to show a smug expression.

Seeing this, Li Qianfan immediately seized the topic and made a little joke-

"Who said that? I can also be her male best friend!"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Zhilan was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a look of disgust.

Although she was simple and innocent, she also disliked the term "male best friend".

So, Xia Zhilan stared at Li Qianfan and threatened half-truthfully:

"I warn you, don't have any ideas about Yanyan! She is mine! ”

Compared to an old driver like Li Qianfan, how could Xia Zhilan, a novice in love, be his opponent?

Therefore, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Qianfan immediately took advantage of the situation and teased her:

"Oh? You are not allowed to have ideas about Yanyan, so can I have ideas about you?"

Xia Zhilan is beautiful, but because she has been protected from being too young, she actually has few suitors around her.

So when Li Qianfan suddenly hit a straight ball attack, she was stunned on the spot, and her mind was blank for a moment-

"What? ! Have ideas about me? !"

Seeing that Xia Zhilan looked so shocked that she couldn't recover, Li Qianfan, who had expected it, stretched out his hand in front of her calmly, shook it left and right, and then asked with a puzzled look:

"Hey, what's wrong? It's just a joke, there's no need to react so strongly, right? "

Hearing this, Xia Zhilan realized that Li Qianfan might just be joking with her, and she was indeed overreacting...

So, she immediately pretended to be calm and opened the sword-fighting arena page to read it, and at the same time did not forget to change the subject:

"I won't mess with you anymore! Yanyan's game has started! I have to concentrate on watching the game! Otherwise, I won't know how to congratulate Yanyan on her first victory later!"

Xia Zhilan thought she had hidden it well.

Little did she know that her cute face with rosy cheeks had been secretly photographed by Li Qianfan with the built-in camera...

Let's get back to the topic.

While the two were talking, Shen Jiayan had already stood on the sword-fighting arena, ready to start her first game.

Looking at Shen Jiayan who slowly appeared on the stage like a fairy from the clouds, the whole audience suddenly cheered.

Seeing this, Xia Zhilan could no longer care about the embarrassment, turned her head and looked at Li Qianfan and asked:

"Brother Fan, the person opposite Yanyan is a master, right? The winning rate is much higher than Yanyan's, do you think Yanyan can win? "

In response, Li Qianfan gave an affirmative answer without hesitation-

"Yes, Yanyan should be able to finish the game in 15 seconds at most."

"So sure? Why?"

"Because I have played against this person before, he is just a small shrimp, don't worry."

Don't forget that Li Qianfan also played a lot of games in the second and third rounds of the breakout.

There are billions of players in Jiuzhou, and only 10,000 of them are qualified to go to the end, soIt is normal to meet someone you know in the finals.

Therefore, after Li Qianfan gave his judgment, Xia Zhilan felt relieved.

Just as Li Qianfan predicted...

After the game officially started, Shen Jiayan, who was fully fired up, played a battle that far exceeded her chances of winning the breakout match under the gaze of the audience.

So much so that when the commentator was still using the term "equally matched" to deliberately create a tense atmosphere, Shen Jiayan had already killed her opponent with one palm...

"Well, it seems that Ri Nuan Wan Nian Zhi is indeed holding back..."

In the eighth competition area, the commentator Xiu Zi was busy trying to save face for himself and Tie Suo Heng Jiang...

At the same time

The first division where Yibeizhujiu was located suddenly erupted with a cry of surprise like a landslide and tsunami-

"Perfect parry! The stars have turned!"

"There is also an unknown sword technique that can kill people in seconds..."

"It's him! It's definitely him..."

"Zhaoye Jade Lion!!!"

"So Zhaoye Jade Lion's ID is [Xifeng Xieyang]!!!"
