Noon of the next day.
An exquisite notebook was placed in front of the bed. Father Thirteen said, "Watch the tournament, you can only last two hours. Rest well!"
And so, I was a tragedy. For a hardcore player like me who was online for more than 12 hours every day, facing an empty hospital room was a kind of torture.
I opened the notebook and went on the official forums of Heavenblessed. The preliminaries of Who Will Fight Me would officially start at 1 pm. I could not go online, so Gui Guzi was the temporary leader. I hoped that the four of them could successfully reach the Top 64. Otherwise, all of their previous efforts would have been for nothing.
But what surprised me was that Floating Ice City's Level Rankings had changed a lot. Lin Yixin and I were both Level 64, and Dominating Heaven Blade was Level 63. He came with great momentum, and Lin Yixin did not surpass me in level. This was very strange.
On Heavenblessed's Floating Ice City website, there was a banner that said — "Who Will Fight Me officially begins. Who will be the champion? Who will be the king of Floating Ice City?"
Then, there was a list of popular teams for players to vote on. The results were not surprising. Snowy Cathaya's main team was first, the second was Dominating Heaven Blade's Gods of Destruction, and the third was Roaming Dragon's Mad Dragon. On the other hand, our Bloody Mercenaries were only at the pitiful sixth place. Damn, the other teams must have rigged their votes!
Snowy Cathaya members: Wind Fantasy (team leader), Shadow Chanel, Purple Marquis, Clear Perfume, Scattered Rain 2. Gods of Destruction members: Dominating Heaven Blade (team leader), Dominating Warrior God, Dominating Knight God, Dominating Archer God, Dominating Mage God 3. Mad Dragon members: Roaming Dragon (team leader), Iron Pardon, Inconstant, Coldmoon Rose, Mad Dragon Honey 4. Peach Garden members: Indigo Collar (team leader), Moon Scar, Light Nocturne, Night Sorrow, Painted Skin 5. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls members: Murong Mingyue (team leader), Hot Sun, Spring Mud, Night Sorrow, Moon Shadow 6. Bloody Mercenaries members: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand (team leader), Beiming Xue, Gui Guzi, Yamete, Amazing Expert 7. Soul Battle Robes members: Song of Cloud and Water (team leader), Crimson Ghost, Blue Spring, Iron Wing, Roaming Dragon 8. Flower Room members: Yellow Springs (team leader), Duanmu Xuan, December Beauty, Monster, Flower Pinching Finger 9. Eternal Friendship members: Friendship Juaning (team leader), Big Head Shrimp, Listening Wind, Wan Rong, Cold Wind 10. Flower Room members: Young Master Le (team leader), Life of Luxury, Purple Dawn, A Dot of Red of Pinggu, Winds of Jiangnan...
All the major powers had finally revealed themselves. Snowy Cathaya was the first guild to be created, and their guild leader was a beauty with both strength and beauty. Wind Fantasy, who had the nickname of the Fruit Knife Goddess, was undoubtedly the hottest contender for the championship. Mad Dragon, on the other hand, had a lot of members and influence, so their chances of winning weren't low either.
Other than that, Peach Garden, Flower Edge, and other previously unknown guilds had also appeared. If you looked up the average level of the players, you would find that they weren't low at all. These were the hidden experts. Li Le, the rich young master's party, was also ranked tenth on the most anticipated ranking. I wonder how the four people under his command are doing. Everyone else, just look at it normally.
In conclusion, I hope that Bloody Mercenaries won't run into any of these parties in the first few rounds. Otherwise, it would be very disadvantageous for them to fight 4 against 5, and it would be extremely easy for them to be eliminated in the qualifiers!
Beep beep...
My phone rang. I looked. It was Lin Yixin's number. After I pressed the answer button, Beauty Lin's sweet voice came over. "Lu Chen, you animal, why haven't you appeared for so many days?"
Lin Yixin's tone was questioning. I smiled and felt warm inside. No matter if she was scolding or questioning me, it proved one thing. She was willing to call me, which meant that she was thinking of me. A super beauty thinking of you. Was there anything happier in the world than this?
"Haha, Yiyi, you miss me?"
"Miss your head..." Lin Yixin said angrily. "Who Will Fight Me is about to start, why aren't you online? How can this be?
I was planning to have Snowy Cathaya and Bloody Mercenaries meet in the finals. Where the hell did you run off to, you disappointing bastard? "
"No, I'm in Nanjing..."
"Oh, Nanjing?" Lin Yixin was slightly shocked and said, "Ai, you must have gone to Nanjing to find girls, right?
I heard that the girls in Stone City are very open, and very beautiful... "
"Damn, what are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who flirts everywhere?"
"Hehe, you are ~ ~"
Facing Lin Yixin's teasing and laughter, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I slowed down and said, "I'm afraid I can't go online today. Yiyi, work hard. I hope Snowy Cathaya reaches the top and gets the Hero's Token. Sell it to me for 1000 gold, old customer, old price..."
"Wow, how much gold has depreciated. You shameless person, to think you can say that!
Right, if you can't go online, will Bloody Mercenaries still participate in Who Will Fight Me? "
"Yes, today is just the qualifiers. The four of them are participating. With their strength, I believe it won't be a problem for them to reach Top 64. I'll return to Suzhou tomorrow and be in time for the qualifiers. Other book friends, watch as usual."
"Yes, that's good!" Lin Yixin smiled. "Okay, that's it. I'm hanging up, bye bye bye ~ ~"
"Bye ~"
After hanging up, I continued to pay attention to the official website, focusing on Bloody Mercenaries' schedule. After clicking "Confirm", the entire page changed to Bloody Mercenaries' team composition and the drawing of lots.
Five members, four of their avatars were lit up. That meant they were online. My avatar was dark. This was very tragic.
The grouping was very chaotic. No one knew how many teams were participating in Floating Ice City. But after the calculations, Bloody Mercenaries needed to win 15 matches in a row to reach Top 64. From this, it could be seen that the number of players in the China server was enough to surpass the world.
The time grew closer and closer. The lineup of the first group was out.
When I saw their levels, I smiled. They were five kids, and the highest was only Level 42. At this level, any one of the Bloody Mercenaries members could challenge their entire party. In the world of Heavenblessed, if the difference between two players was more than 20 levels, there was basically no suspense in the battle.
With the difference in levels came the suppression of stats. Lower-level players' attacks would miss greatly. Basically, if a Level 40 player fought a Level 60 player, no matter how good their equipment was, they would miss at least 50% of their attacks. This was unimaginable.
I clicked "Spectate", and the computer page quickly jumped into the arena. I put a hand on the verification device on my laptop and read the fingerprint. After confirming my identity, I logged into the spectating system as Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand.
Whoosh!
The scene jumped into the arena. Beiming Xue, Gui Guzi, Mamate, and Du Thirteen were standing in the middle of the arena. Although their opponents were a bunch of noobs, the four of them still maintained their calmness and respect for their opponents. They didn't show any arrogant expressions or actions. The other readers looked at them normally.
"Wow, boss is in spectating mode!" Beiming Xue looked at my name on the interface and said with a smile, "Gui Guzi, give boss command!"
"Yes!"
Gui Guzi nodded. In the next moment, a column appeared on my screen: "Do you accept the identity of player commander?"
After I clicked "Yes", my name turned red in the spectating interface. Next, any words I typed would turn red, reminding everyone in the battle.
"Boss, what instructions do you have?" Beiming Xue asked with a smile.
I smiled and quickly typed: "Kill this team as you please, there won't be any pressure."
"Okay, then let me do it!"
Beiming Xue was eager and said with a smile, "You guys don't move, leave these five to me!"
"Oh, okay!"
Du Thirteen, Gui Guzi, and the others were happy to be idle. It was good to watch the best archer of Bloody Mercenaries perform. Beiming Xue might not be a mature woman, but she had a beautiful body and extraordinary strength. This kind of archer's battle was full of beauty, much more enjoyable than the dark and terrifying atmosphere between me and Gui Guzi.
In the end, when the countdown began, Du Thirteen, Gui Guzi, and Mamate retreated in a well-trained manner, leaving only the beautiful archer at the front.
However, the other five did not dare to underestimate the enemy. They recognized the dark archer in front of them. Who wouldn't know the Level 61 dark archer Beiming Xue, ranked sixth on Floating Ice City's Heavenly Ranking?
Beiming Xue held her longbow and said with a smile, "Come, don't be polite. Book fans like to read:!"
The countdown finished and the battle began!
The five charged together. Beiming Xue's eyes moved and she calmly retreated to the right. At the same time, she nocked an arrow and quickly determined a direction. A string of arrows flew out. It was the archer's AoE skill — Volley!
Volley was a pain in the ass skill. It had no accuracy at all, and it completely relied on the player's own judgment. A peak Archer could make every arrow hit its target, but a noob Archer might not even hit a single one of them.
Beiming Xue clearly belonged to the former category. Her understanding of archery had reached a certain level, or I wouldn't have recruited her into Bloody Mercenaries!
Rank 6 Volley, a total of eight arrows flew out!
Pa pa pa...
There was a series of explosions. All eight arrows hit the target. The enemy archer and assassin at the front fell to the ground, killed by Volley. The level difference between the two sides was too great. Beiming Xue's arrows only dealt 50% -75% of normal damage, but it was still enough to one-shot the enemy!
Precision Arrow!
Penetrating Arrow!
Another two accurate shots, and all five of the enemy fell to the ground. The entire battle only lasted for six seconds!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Bloody Mercenaries, victory!
… …
Beiming Xue cheered and yelled at the sky and the air, "Boss, am I awesome?
Am I good? "
I smiled and typed: "Good, keep it up!"
