Thriller Paradise Chapter 834: Touchstone

At 0:00 on September 5th, the number of online players in "Thriller Paradise" easily broke through the seven figures, setting a record since the opening of the server. △Appointment Novel,

Millions of players lie down in the game pod early before midnight and log in to the game in sleep mode (games cannot be played on servers that are not in sleep mode).

Although most of these people are not s2 contestants, and the images of the preliminaries are not broadcast live (at least until the end of the preliminaries, all game videos are kept confidential), they are still willing to come to join this lively.

As for those players who are eligible to participate in s2, the number is definitely quite large...because Dream Company announced the game news in early August, and the deadline for registration is at the end of August; this is more than half a month, enough time Many players who have not yet met the entry requirements go to the level.

Undoubtedly... During this period of time, the game company has made a lot of money.

Sales of game coins have steadily increased; sales of double experience cards have skyrocketed; monthly visits to the official website have doubled, and advertising revenue has risen accordingly; and in the game...due to the utilization rate of the auction house And the transaction volume has increased significantly, and the handling fee collected by the system from players has also hit a record high.

In short, both popularity and money... are desperately rushing over, and they can't stop it.

It can be said that Dream Company has used practical actions to teach many people in the same industry a lesson—the quality of the game itself and the rigorous attitude of the operators determine everything.

Compared to those second- and third-rate online game companies that engage in vulgar hype all day long to get people’s attention, Dream Company’s publicity costs are lower, because they don’t have to take the initiative to "yell" anything, even if they want to hide it. The media will come by themselves.

"The heroes gather together, who will be the leader? A group of lords compete, and the winner is king."

Same as the preliminaries of s1, the official preliminaries of s2 also have a unique script opening.

【Loading is complete, welcome to the Summit of Hegemony s2- Heroes gather. 】

[This mode provides an introduction to the script, and there is a chance that side/hidden missions and special worldviews will appear. 】

[Scenario victory reward: 3 points for preliminaries. 】

【The introduction to the script will be played soon, and the game will start immediately after the playback is complete. 】

After a series of loading information, "Order One" was transmitted to the script. And began to read the title cg and synopsis.

Obviously, if there is a so-called "first team", there will naturally be a "second team", and even three, four, five, six, seven teams...

For a top large game studio like Order. As long as you have the heart, it is not a problem to put together 20 or 30 teams.

Of course, they wouldn't do that. If there are really as many teams as there are people... then sorted by strength, the combat effectiveness of "Order Ten" may not be as good as the first team in the second-line studio. This kind of team will never be promoted even if it goes to the competition. In case of a miserable loss, it will damage the image of the studio.

Therefore, "Order" only formed four teams this time...

Regarding their second, third, and fourth teams, I won’t list them here for the time being. Let's talk about the lineup of this team...that is, the five above.

The four masters of "Drunken Life, Dream of Death", plus the Heaven-sweeping Ghost Xiao, all five have reached level 50, and all of them are ranked in the top 20 of the personal comprehensive strength list.

Just look at it...this team is going for the championship. Any one of these five people is the absolute main force in other teams, but in the "Order One", they have to choose one to sit on the bench every game. It is really scary to think about it...

At the moment, in this very crucial first game, the captain [Wu Si Shen Xuan] chose to watch the game by himself, and handed the command of the team to the hands of the deputy captain [Sashimi].

In terms of strength, these two may not be the strongest in the team, but... the other three of their team: one is not good at strategy and likes to talk trash, the other is extremely unreliable after drinking hot all day long, yet One of them would be transformed into a violent state of S2 as soon as they entered the script...In this case, they had no choice but to "work harder for those who can" and shoulder the responsibility of the captain and deputy captain.

But... Let’s just say that being the captain of the first team is actually quite simple. In many cases, they only need to take the team "a past without a brain" to win. Under the absolute advantage of strength, even if the opponent has various strategies, it can't change the ending.

…………

After talking about the order side, let's take a look at their opponents in the first game.

Be aware that the number of teams signing up for the s2 preliminaries is very large. In the preliminaries, the probability of the two tops meeting is actually very low.

However...there is no coincidence. In the first preliminaries of the First Team, they really met a strong team.

This team is also a professional team belonging to a large studio, and they have not enabled the **protection option. Therefore... the name of [Scorpion Blade Team] was displayed impressively in the game menu of those five in order.

…………

"Heh... I thought the preliminaries would be as easy as in practice mode..." After seeing the name of the enemy team, Sashimi showed a rather complicated smile, "As a result, the first game Encountered a hard bone..."

"Hey... I wanted to beat soy sauce and lie down to win..." Zui Wo sighed and continued, "It looks like... you have to be more serious now."

"Hiccup~" Meng Jingchan had already taken out the bottle and filled himself with a sip, "Don't be careless~" Although he said that he can't be careless, his expression and behavior are very leisurely. .

"Hmph...what hard bones...what serious...what careless..." At this moment, Guixiao sneered, "In my opinion...there is no difference."

"Oh oh~ Our trump card has entered the battle (middle) fight (2) mode again." Zuiwo stunned his instant noodle hair style, and took the opportunity.

"This has nothing to do with my mental state, what I said is the truth." Gui Xiao said solemnly. "Whether the opponent is professional or amateur, there is only one thing we have to do, and that is... to defeat it with all our mercy." He paused, "Since the goal is the championship, Then there must be the consciousness of'absolutely undefeated'."

"Hehe is really incomparable to you young people." Meng Jing Chan smiled when he heard the words, "I'm burning up~" As he spoke, he lit himself a cigarette.

"It's just the smoke in your hand that is burning..." The sashimi stared blankly and vomited coldly.

【The main task has been triggered. 】

【Kill the four members of the "Scorpion Blade Team". 】

Just as they were talking, the system prompt sounded. This heralds...the "safe time" for the start is over.

…………

At the same moment, another place in the script.

These four from the Corpse Blade First Division. Uphold the consistent style of the studio.

They are dressed in uniform uniforms (Imitated the Star Trek style, but the color is green and black, the left chest is printed with the badge of the corpse knife, and the pattern is a finely carved skull machete with a corpse knife Two characters), with the same hairstyle (inch head), even the expression on the face is very similar (pale, numb).

As mentioned in the previous article, before the version, the corpse knife has always been ranked fifth in the league's combat effectiveness rankings. And in the top 20 players in the ranking list, they also accounted for the most places. Although the two lists have since been cancelled due to the merger, their strength cannot be ignored.

"Oh? You actually encountered the strongest opponent in the first game." The corpse knife member named [Doomsday Assault] said after hearing the content of the mission.

"There is nothing to be surprised, it's just a matter of probability." [Final Strike] continued. "There will always be a team to meet them, right?"

The audience with a good memory must remember...These two are the two members of the Corpse Sword who encountered Brother Jue and Kuangzong Jianying in the "Earth Waste". At that time, they were unfortunately pitted by Brother Jue, and they lost the killing game without even seeing the shadow of the enemy.

Some people may wonder. Why do these two guys who don't seem very good are now in the "corpse knife team"? In fact, this is not surprising...Because the corpse knife uses the "drug assisted" cheating method, in essence, their players...they are all about the same level after reaching level 50.

Unless these players stop taking medication for a period of time like the previous [Scorpion Blade is King] and now [Tired Dreams]~IndoMTL.com~ Otherwise, even if they have any personal talents, they will be overshadowed by the effects of drugs. , Become a group of homogenized, ruthless warriors.

On the premise that this kind of player's personal factors are almost negligible, it becomes very easy to arrange the team. Just according to the four factors of character's specialization, title, equipment, and skills, try to match up a team that can cooperate with each other and give full play to each other's best advantages. It can be said that the formation of the "Scorpion Blade Team" is like solving a mathematical problem, removing the "human uncertainty", and the rest is simple calculations.

In fact, the selection of their team was indeed done by Guangbrain...The relevant person in charge of the studio just called up the information of all the 50-level game characters under the corpse knife, and let Guangbrain calculate It's just a "best efficiency" combination.

"I think this is a good thing." A few seconds later, another team member with the id of [None of the mouth is king] continued the words of the two, "Since we are rushing to win the bid, we met them Sooner or later." His tone changed slightly, "Perhaps...this encounter is still a good opportunity."

At this time, the captain of the Corpse Sword 1st team [first also the king] took the former's words and said: "I think so too." He paused for half a second, "As the effect of the'new medicine' For the touchstone... the five people in the first team are really suitable." (To be continued...)
