Deep Well Ice Player was tricked by Jiang Shi to come with the excuse of “don’t waste the ticket.” In fact, he regretted it as soon as he was teleported to the competition server’s Tianchuang City.
At this time, he was very humble and wrapped his small body in a black cloak, trying to completely isolate himself from the bustling environment around him. He could only keep talking to Jiang Shi to try to divert his attention.
Deep Well Ice Player: “He’s such a big mechanic, and he’s picking on you, a support, to fight? For three whole days and nights? How much of a grudge is that!”
Jiang Shi: “It can’t be seen that way. Although I’m a support, I’ve killed a lot of output, at least tens of thousands.”
Deep Well Ice Player: “…”
That’s true.
Jiang Shi saw that he was still a little confused, so he reminded him again: “As for why you had to fight… do you remember what the official celebration event was at the time?”
Deep Well Ice Player thought about it for a moment and finally remembered: “Were you doing that activity task?”
Jiang Shi smiled and nodded: “That’s right.”
Back then, the official website of “Genesis” held a grand celebration event, which was the most ambitious since the opening of the game. After a series of activities were launched, the rewards were unprecedentedly generous.
One of the tasks was to fill up a huge amount of damage during the event period. In this regard, he and Yu Weize were a match made in heaven, so they decided to take this opportunity to face off against each other.
Looking back now, it was indeed a bit of a hothead back then. According to the official intention, players should be encouraged to log on and grind monsters and dungeons. They probably never expected that, even though the task was planned for over a month, there would actually be people who could really fight each other to the death to fill up the damage.
In short, he was willing to eat mana potions, and Yu Weize was also not stingy with blood bottles. Basically, each game could last for half a day. After three days and nights of fighting, the event task was finally completed. In the end, it was still a draw.
After that, Jiang Shi turned around and went to do other tasks.
It was not until the third day after that fierce battle that Yu Weize, who was still not convinced, found him again to challenge him again.
At that time, Jiang Shi was still focusing on the event tasks, so he agreed without thinking. Then, in order to complete the event, he was directly sent to the hospital because of overwork due to the fact that his already fragile brain nerves were overloaded.
As for that match, it was naturally abandoned.
In fact, Jiang Shi did feel a little regretful about the fact that he couldn’t decide the winner back then. After all, he felt that it was mainly because there were no restrictions on eating medicine, like in the arena, dungeons, etc. Otherwise, he would definitely have killed Yu Weize.
It was precisely because he understood this regret that Jiang Shi could empathize with the anger of someone who had been stood up.
If he were in his shoes, he would be annoyed too, but if he was annoyed for five years, it would be a bit too much to hold a grudge.
It was clear that Jiang Shi was not the only one with a strong sense of empathy.
After Deep Well Ice Player knew the ins and outs, he suddenly empathized with Yu Weize: “Indeed, if a fight that was worth looking forward to didn’t happen, I would be so suffocated if I were in his shoes!”
Jiang Shi: “…”
Deep Well Ice Player nodded.
The two men looked at each other and reached a silent consensus in their understanding of each other.
Sure enough, everyone was very competitive.
“Let’s watch the game first, it’s starting.”
Jiang Shi patted Deep Well Ice Player on the shoulder, indicating that he should watch the field.
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding environment changed instantly.
As the commentator’s impassioned voice rang out, all the viewing areas also rose into the air in cheers, like snowflakes scattering in the sky. The scene was once very brilliant.
The main screen in the center of the city district unfolded along with the commentary, and the entire competition area was clearly displayed in front of the eyes of the on-site spectators.
The holographic magnified image in the sky displayed the details of some areas in pieces. Under the strong visual impact that could never be felt in reality, the entire Tianchuang City was also completely boiling up.
The so-called competition server main city itself is the competition field!
And the four teams participating today have already entered their starting points through special channels.
The map of the final of this century cup is the Narrow Path of Despair.
Feeling the changes in the atmosphere of the scene, Jiang Shi suddenly felt that just for the experience effect, he had already come to the final scene of the championship today.
Sure enough, even Deep Well Ice Player didn’t complain a word.
The overall rules of the Century Cup are very simple:
- Each guild has a total of seven members, five on the field and two on the bench, and can be replaced at any time at the five replacement points on the map. After the start of the game, the five members on the field will start from the starting point of their own team in this round and compete for the wild map bosses on the map;
- According to the official arrangement, four bosses will be refreshed in each game map. The attributes, skills, and refresh locations are all unknown. All four bosses are defeated, which is considered the end of the game;
- In the end, each guild team will be ranked based on the number of enemy kills and the points obtained by winning the boss in this round.
In short, from the surface, it can be simply and roughly summarized as a sentence, which means that whoever kills more wins.
Because the official website of “Genesis” often invests in maps that have never been seen before in the competition, and often frequently develops new bosses with mechanisms and attributes that are becoming more and more perverted, this on-the-spot opening mode, which is randomly generated, makes the process of competing for each game always appear to be particularly exciting.
This time, the final map of the Narrow Path of Despair is a brand new map.
And a new map also means that new wild bosses are configured.
The four teams participating today are all old guild teams.
The field could not hear the cheers from the audience area outside, and the game began in full swing as soon as it started.
From the perspective of God, it can be seen that Blood Rose collided with the team of the Firepower Guild shortly after the start, and explored each other for a wave.
On the other side, Rattlesnake was lucky enough to find the first wild boss, the Red Cross Tempered Laya, and after testing the strength, it carefully led the boss to the hidden area next to it to start testing the boss mechanism.
As for the Crusade Guild, according to the current route, it is getting further and further away from the other three guilds.
However, in this map with unknown terrain, sometimes being away from other guilds may not be a bad thing.
Jiang Shi received a message from Deep Well Ice Player: “Tell me, who do you want to win?”
Jiang Shi thought for a moment: “Oh, it can be either.”
Deep Well Ice Player: “I thought you would want the Crusade to win.”
Jiang Shi asked: “Why do you say that?”
Deep Well Ice Player: “At least there’s Yu Weize in it.”
Jiang Shi glanced in the direction of the Crusade team.
Because the main perspective is currently on the tug-of-war between Blood Rose and Firepower, he could only watch the tiny figures from the perspective of God, and his mouth silently floated a few: “If he is the commander, there is no problem, but now the command is in someone else’s hands, so the outcome is just a matter of chance.”
Deep Well Ice Player was very puzzled: “How do you know he’s not the commander?”
Jiang Shi smiled without saying anything.
He didn’t know who was in charge, but just from the style of the route choice after the start, the Crusade’s overall commander today must not be Yu Weize.
Compared to the fans supporting the various teams around them, Jiang Shi and Deep Ice Player watching the match seemed excessively calm throughout. One didn’t really care who won, while the other was completely absorbed in the match without any desire for interaction. They only stood up and stretched their limbs after the final ranking was announced, once they had descended from the audience section.
The Rattlesnake’ team was very decisive when facing the first boss, and although they almost lost it to the Firepower Guild, they secured the kill, taking the lead. Afterward, they continued to search for opportunities, gradually extending their lead over the other teams with the advantage of the first boss.
In the end, with a well-planned tactical move, the Rattlesnake seized the second boss of the match and easily secured the championship for this year’s finals with a significant lead in points.
On their way to the teleportation channel, people discussed the day’s match from time to time.
Most praised Rattlesnake’ performance today, but there were occasional dissatisfied comments from supporters of other guilds.
“Ah, I’m so frustrated. It feels like God Chu didn’t coordinate well today.”
“Come on, be understanding. Look at what the Crusaders are doing, that’s the real lack of coordination.”
“I really don’t understand the Crusaders’ command. There was clearly an opportunity in that last wave, but they had to go for a full wipe.”
“Isn’t the Crusaders’ commander God Yu?”
“I’m not a God Yu fan, but at this point, we have to be fair. The blame isn’t on him; he barely used voice chat throughout the match. The command issue can’t be pinned on him.”
“Although the Crusaders ranked first in the semifinals, it’s undeniable that their recent performance has been quite baffling.”
…
“Speaking of which, I have a piece of insider information… I heard Yu Weize is about to leave the guild?”
Jiang had just reached the teleportation channel with Deep Ice Player when he slightly paused at the mention of this rumor.
The people behind them continued to discuss.
“?”
“God Yu leaving the guild? He’s been with the Crusaders for so many years, can that be true?”
“Ah, as they say, power changes hands with the times. How long has Yi Shuihan held authority? I always thought Yu Weize’s departure from the Crusaders was just a matter of time.”
“Wow, am I the only one wondering where Yu Weize will go after leaving the Crusaders? This personnel change is going to shake things up!”
“Ah, my God Yu, this can’t be true, can it?”
The person who revealed the inside information chuckled lightly, “Whether it’s true or not, we’ll find out in a few days, won’t we?”
The participants had returned to the backstage resting area.
The management of a professional guild like Pojun Baba mainly dealt with various events within the guild in normal times and didn’t have much time for training.
Naturally, they didn’t take up a participant slot in the tournament.
However, even though he wasn’t a participant, the results of the Century Cup were directly linked to the guild leader’s performance, so after the Crusaders finished the final in last place today, the atmosphere should have been low. But there was no sign of post-match dejection from him.
Passing by Yu Weize at this moment, he still had a smiling expression. “You’ve worked hard, God Yu. You can consider it as having stood the last guard for the Crusaders.”
Yu Weize gave a contemptuous laugh but didn’t respond.
It wasn’t until Pojun Baba left that Green Fanatic couldn’t help but grit his teeth. “Petty triumph!”
“It’s fine. Before you start crying, you have to make people laugh a little,” Yu Weize thought for a moment and added, “Green, I probably won’t be online much in the next few days. If you need anything, you can find me on my alternate character.”
“Your alternate character?” Green Fanatic was slightly puzzled at first and then realized, “Master, are you talking about the warehouse character? What do you need that character for?”
Yu Weize showed a smile. “Just playing around.”
Just playing around…?
Vague memories of not-so-good experiences made Green Fanatic’s lips twitch involuntarily.
