Modern world: Arc 4.18

In the chat room, Lao Er suddenly gave an "eh," "What are you two up to? Why did Xiao Lu go offline this time?"

On the hospital bed, Pei Fuchen also gave Bai Lixin a puzzled look.

Bai Lixin looked up and gave Pei Fuchen a sidelong glance, gently stroking the laptop keyboard, and laughed helplessly, "The screen got frozen and had to log off."

Pei Fuchen: ".."

"Ahem, okay baby, next time I'll ask Uncle Xu to bring a laptop with the best configuration."

In the chat room, there was a burst of laughter from Lao Er. "See, Lao San, this is how you show your love."

Bai Lixin again looked askance at Pei Fuchen, who was smiling innocently before re-entering the game.

He had just logged on when he once again noticed that the fps (frames per second) in the top left corner of his computer was once again in the single digits.

(The higher the fps, the better the game display effects. A low fps would cause the game to lag. )

He raised his head again and said, "Dear, do you want me to remain here or can we leave this place?"

Just as he said this, he saw players beside him coming onto the general chat one after another. Their first sentence was, "Which one of you is blowing up so many fireworks in the city? Can't you do it in the wild?

It was the first time a bunch of fireworks had been blown up in the main city, and a third of the players' screens were stuck.

Pei Fuchen silently covered his handsome face, which was now blushing red.

Bai Lixin heatedly smiled and scratched Pei Fuchen's feet with his toes, "Lao Er, let's go play in the arena."

........

Pei Fuchen was checked again the next day and was discharged after it was determined that he was fine. Back at home, Pei Fuchen touched his hand and fell into deep thought.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but ever since he woke up yesterday, he felt much better. Even his hand speed had returned.

But that was impossible, right?

How could he have regained the speed of his hand when he had long since passed his most glorious age?

Pei Fuchen frowned, and the old butler, seeing this, asked with concern, "Is there something on your mind, young master?"

It's nothing but, I just suddenly feel so full of strength.

As if I had returned to the age of twenty-three. "

The old housekeeper smiled with understanding, "The power of love is endless!"

Pei Fuchen: "…"

A month had passed by in the blink of an eye, and the curtain was about to rise on the finals for the top three on this server.

However, right at the start of the tournament, the officials abruptly announced that the team with the most points in the score rush tournament would be automatically entered into the cross-regional tournament.

The team with the highest number of points was none other than Everwins team.

After receiving this news, Lao Er was the first to explode, sitting in the fast food restaurant and slapping the table with the other five people, "Immortal Crane can't really be an insider, right? Is it okay for the officials to change the policy so blatantly? "

They had hung out twice in the past month, and this was the third time, because they were about to enter the cross-district competition. So Pei Fuchen had asked them all out to talk about something.

Of the six, Pei Fuchen was the oldest, at 29. Among the other five, little Lu was still in his third year of university, while the other four had just graduated from university, all aged between 23 and 24.

Bai Lixin swept his eyes over the other four and then looked at Pei Fuchen: "Did you intervene?"

Pei Fuchen reached out and dotingly rubbed Bai Lixin's hair, nodding his head and admitting, "Yes, I was the one who put pressure on Chivalry Road to let them gy directly into the Regionals."

Lao Er's eyes widened in disbelief, "Boss, why did you do that?!"

They had known about each other's careers when they first met, but Lao Er and the others only knew about Pei Fuchen as the majority shareholder of Chivalry Road, and knew nothing about his condition or the fact that he used to be the captain of the national battle team.

"The worse you want a man to fall, the higher you must first make him fly." Pei Fuchen smiled lightly and replied, "Don't you want to see the expressions on the faces of No Desire Is Just and Immortal Crane when they have clearly been one step away from heaven, only to suddenly fall into hell?"

Pei Fuchen kept a faint smile on his face as he said this, his incomparably handsome face full of integrity. Bai Lixin nodded eagerly.

However, Lao Er and the others suddenly shivered at the back.

They looked at each other and subconsciously squeezed each other, isolating themselves from those two people who were smiling with innocent faces.

Mama, these two people are scary. Someone help!

And with the official decision, the Arena Score Rushing Tournament came to an end, followed by the main event of Chivalry Road, the inter-regional tournament, and the final.

There are a total of 2,000 servers, and each service area selects a group of teams to compete in the cross-region tournament. The teams are divided into 125 groups, with 16 teams in each group. One champion is selected from each group, and a total of 125 winning teams are entered into the finals through progression.

So, although the teams have been competing in the arena for so long, the battle has only just begun.

The final will be broadcast globally, and it will be televised on the TV channels' gaming channels. It was a highly anticipated competition.

There would be prizes for the top three teams, and the first place team would not only receive 500,000 yuan but also a set of divine-grade equipment. Full body equipment for the head, arms, legs, waist, feet, rings, necklaces, talismans, and weapons.

The money is secondary, but this set of divine-grade equipment, if auctioned, could go for millions of yuan, and a single piece can be auctioned for tens of thousands of yuan.

Second place was awarded 100,000 RMB and five pieces of divine-grade equipment for the head, hands, legs, waist, and feet. The attributes of this set of divine-grade equipment were not as good as the first one, and because there were only five pieces, the whole set was only worth around 200,000 yuan.

The third place winner would receive 50,000 RMB and a divine-grade weapon, which was worth around yuan.

As the prize for first place was really generous, and the equipment was even more expensive and out of stock, even if someone wanted to pay 2 million for such a divine-grade weapon set, the first place winner would not be willing to sell it.

So players started to rush to participate in the Arena Masters Tournament just for the first-place prize.

As the Arena Masters Tournament had gradually become the signature tournament of Chivalry Road, the number of people watching this time was countless, and the number of internet hits increased yet again and again, which brought in many new players.

So the officials didn't skimp on the competition venue, and for the sake of fairness, from the start of the inter-regional tournament, teams were required to come to the official Chivalry Road designated tournament area to compete.

Without a doubt, Heaven's Destruction Battle Group entered the cross-district tournament as one of the teams from their own server. They also received an invitation to the tournament three days later.

The venue was in their city, the 17th to 21st floors of the Software Electronic City, the network area.

Each floor had 25 teams, or 2,000 people per floor. Each team was again in a separate compartment, which ensured a quiet environment for them to play in and also ensured that their opponents could not meet each other.

Once a team loses the game, they immediately pack up and leave the tournament area. The competition was rigorous and cold.

There were 125 groups of 16 teams from the cross-server competition, each with a 16-in-8, 8-in-4, 4-in-2, and 2-in-1 format, which meant that the cross-server competition would last four days.

(The author meant, round one would have 16 teams narrowed down to 8, the next round with 8 becoming 2 and so on, until the final 2)

In these four days, 125 teams will be selected to enter the final, which is the main event.

The 125 teams will again be split into 8 groups. The first 7 groups will have 16 teams each and will continue in the same format as before. The last group will have only 13 teams, and this group will be 13 to 7, 7 to 4, 4 to 2, and 2 to 1.

The last eight teams selected are the semi-finalists. This time, the teams will not be grouped together but randomly selected, and the final two teams will be chosen to compete in the final.

Once the final winner is chosen, there is a second and third place play-off. With three teams left in the top four, they will play each other, and the one with the most victories takes second place.

The remaining two teams will then have to play each other again to choose the third place.

As the Everwins team was specially selected to go directly to the inter-regional tournament without having to play, there were 2001 groups in the inter-regional tournament unlike the usual 2000, and the officials decided to place them in a random group for the 17-group progression. So it was 17 into 9, 9 into 5, 5 into 3, 3 into 2 and 2 into 1, so it would take five days for this group to compete.

It didn't matter though, as the teams all had a week to adjust after the crossover competition ended, with the finals taking place a week later.

The Arena Masters Tournament of Chivalry Road has always been a grand event in online games, lasting about a month before the final champion is chosen.

When Liang Xuan saw the official schedule sent to his email address, he happily patted Qiao Qun on the back and said, "We're really lucky this time. Why did the officials suddenly think of letting our group advance directly to the cross-district tournament? If it was a competition on our server, I really don't know who would have died. It would have been a tough battle to fight. "

Qiao Qun was also looking at the inter-regional tournament schedule. When he saw that he was in group 89 and the Heaven Destruction Battle group was in group 23, he breathed a sigh of relief. "The only team I'm afraid of in this tournament is the Heavens Destruction Battle Group. We're not in the same group as them in this inter-regional tournament, so it looks like we will make it to the finals just fine. "

Liang Xuan also saw the group and smiled, "It seems that luck has always been with us. Do you think there is a chance that we won't be able to meet them until the end and our two teams will compete for the final title? "

A glint of light appeared in Qiao Qun's eyes as he nodded and smiled, "I hope so. Thank you for your auspicious words. If that's the case, even if we don't win first place, second place is not a problem. But we still have you as a secret weapon. When the time comes, we might even be able to take that first place. "

Liang Xuan nodded, "I'll do my best."

Qiao Qun glanced at the excited Liang Xuan and hesitantly asked, "Little Xuan, come join the national battle team. The truth is, you might be among the top three in strength. "

Liang Xuan seriously thought about it and asked, "Do you really think I have the strength?"

Qiao Qun looked at Liang Xuan seriously and said, "It's absolutely no problem. When the time comes, the two of us will participate in international competitions together and walk on top of the world hand in hand! "

The picture Qiao Qun painted was so beautiful that Liang Xuan couldn't help but nod heavily, "Okay, when this tournament is over, I'll apply to join the national team."

"En, the duels of Chivalry Road are also one of the aspects of the national battle team's inspection. So, even if we get second place in this tournament, you will have already passed. "

Pei Fuchen had two more re-examinations in the month, and each time the results were better than the previous. Despite the tumor's slow deterioration, doctor Huang couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim "miracle" each time.

The inter-regional tournament will be held in two days' time. Due to the large number of participants in the tournament, the officials would not prepare accommodation for everyone. So players had to first solve their own food and accommodation problems.

Pei Fuchen, Bai Lixin, and Lao Er and Lao Si lived in the city, while Lao San and Wu were in Lin City, not far from there. The day after they received the email notification, Lao San and Wu packed up their things and went to join Lao Er.

Undoubtedly, four days later, the Heaven Destruction team were the champions in Group 23 and successfully entered the finals.

At the same time, on the fifth day, the Everwins also became the representatives of Group 89 and entered the finals.

The inter-regional tournament came to an end with Group 89, and the final was next.

It seemed that Everwins had been lucky all along the way, as the final was only divided into 8 groups, they were once again in different groups from The Heaven Destruction The latter was in Group 1, while they were in Group 7.

Unlike the crudely shot videos of the inter-regional tournament, the officials hired a professional team to shoot the finals, filming player expressions, hand actions, and switching between match scenes.

In the finals, there was one group of videos that started to be clicked and re-clicked again and again, and that was the last 2-to-1 match of the Everwins.

The Everwins were up against a tough opponent this time. They were up against last year's champions, who were already well-trained and cooperated excellently.

The match was also decided on the best out of three, and after the first round was lost, the cameraman gave a close-up of Liang Xuan. At this point, Liang Xuan gritted his teeth, nodded to Qiao Qun, and switched the tool in his hand.

In other words, he had previously been placing his left hand on the keyboard and holding the mouse with his right hand, while this time he chose to place his right hand on the keyboard and hold the mouse with his left hand.

Seeing this action, the netizens were in an uproar.

What does this mean?

After switching hands, the camera switched to Liang Xuan's face again. At this time, Liang Xuan no longer had the same stony expression as before; instead, he had a relaxed face.

In the match that followed, the scene and the result were even more shocking to the crowd.

His positioning and speed were not on the same level as before, and his skills were so well articulated that even the previous champion team could not do anything about him.

Switching from the battle scene to the real person, the camera gave a close-up of Liang Xuan's hands.

Liang Xuan's right hand was tapping on the keyboard so fast, that the crowd could only see the wiggling fingers through the camera but could not follow the direction of his fingers.

The speed of his right hand was more than twice that of his left hand!

So this was his true strength!

The crowd in front of the computer were wide-eyed, while the crowd on the scene, stood up and spontaneously began to applaud.

A person had reached the finals while actually hiding his strength!

It was terrible, but visually, it was really too powerful!

This time there was no doubt that the Everwins had won and managed to enter the top eight.

It was simply a counterattack, a counterattack in minutes!

The contrast in this match was so strong that people kept swiping on their screens, and they paused to type as they saw Liang Xuan's expression change from a frown to a look of disdain:

"Master, please accept my worship."

And the video clips of him switching hands and changing expressions were also shared and became synonymous with pretending when one is actually a king.

While this video of Liang Xuan was going viral on the internet, he was not idle either. He actually received an invitation from the national team on the third day after the final.

Seeing the invitation letter lying quietly in his email, Liang Xuan excitedly shook Qiao Qun, who was still asleep, awake.

Qiao Qun opened his drowsy eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Xuan."

"An invitation! An invitation from the national battle team! " Liang Xuan clutched Qiao Qun's hand tightly and said excitedly, "The head of the national battle team, your boss, sent me an invitation letter. It says that he is very interested in skills and asks if I am interested in joining the national battle team! "

When Qiao Qun heard this, all the sleepy bugs ran away at once.

He sat up abruptly from the bed and grabbed Liang Xuan's arm with both hands and said excitedly, "Really? That's great. See, I told you it would be fine!"

After thinking about it, I suddenly asked Qiao Qun, "By the way, did you recommend me to the head of your team?"

Qiao Qun shook his head and said, "No, you told me not to."

Liang Xuan smiled and slightly lowered his head in deep thought, whispering, "Then who could it be?"

Seeing the expression on Liang Xuan's face, Qiao Qun asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Xuan?"

"Your boss said in his email that he was interested in me after someone recommended my game match videos to him. Doesn't your boss never receive emails from people outside of the battle team? If not you, then who could it be? "

Qiao Qun was also slightly stunned when he heard Liang Xuan's words, but it was only a moment before he smiled again, "You were so sharp and amazing at that time. There must be a few people who appreciated it. I guess my teammates also saw your video at that time. I'll ask them when I go back to the battle team headquarters today and see who did this. "

Liang Xuan felt he was right, so he put his mind at ease.

Chivalry Road did not exclude professional players from the tournament, and fairness required accepting participants from any profession, including professional players.

So although Qiao Qun is a member of the national team, he was also eligible to enter the competition. The former champions who had been defeated by the Everwins team were actually professional players from the regional team.

Why, in the face of the constant stream of professional players entering the arena tournaments of Chivalry Road, was the public's opinion not repulsive but embracing?

Because of the spectacle.

As the saying goes, when there is pressure, there is motivation, and as the pros join in, the audience finds that the arena matches have turned out to be more and more exciting over the years, a phenomenon that Chivalry Road officials are also happy to see.

The next day, Qiao Qun returned from the national battle team headquarters and brought Liang Xuan an answer that was baffling. "None of them admitted it."

Liang Xuan's hand tapping on the keyboard gave a slight pause and looked back at Qiao Qun, "How come?"

Qiao Qun shrugged, unconcerned. "Probably because he wanted to be an unsung hero. But I've thought about it. I'm inviting everyone to dinner tomorrow night, and you'll come along. You'll be joining the team soon, so I can introduce you to the crowd as well. "

Okay, I've just replied to your boss." Liang Xuan turned his head back and resumed looking at the screen and tapping on the keyboard.

Qiao Qun saw Liang Xuan's actions and put his hand on Liang Xuan's arm as he peeked over the screen from behind, "What are you doing?"

"Remember the assassin I told you about who has been targeting me?"

"Killing you just?"

"Yeah, that's him. I'm blocking him. A rubbish thing, screwing me behind my back every time. I'll get him this time. "

Hearing Liang Xuan's words, Qiao Qun recalled how he was constantly killed and attacked by that small account and asked, "Have you ever succeeded in killing him back?"

Liang Xuan's hand paused and replied, "No, not even once."

Qiao Qun asked again, "Then how many times has he killed you?"

"526 times."

"How do you remember that so well?"

Speaking of this, Liang Xuan's anger rose to his throat, "Damn it, he kills me, and even reports the number every time. It's hard for me not to remember. "

Qiao Qun was silent for a moment before hesitantly saying, "Xiao Xuan, did you get into trouble with someone? You're great, so if the other player was an average player, there's no way they'd get away with killing you even once. Think about it. Have you offended anyone of great importance? "

Liang Xuan pursed his lips and a disgusted expression appeared on his face, "It's not like you don't know. I've offended a lot of people. How can I remember who they are? "

"Then think about it. When did this account start killing you? "

Seeing that No Desire Is Just was just cut down to the ground by "Killing you just," Qiao Qun took Liang Xuan's mouse over from behind him and clicked on the equipment, "Orange grade equipment? Look at the name, it seems like it's an orange grade piece of equipment rewarded from the Demon Sect dungeon. "

Liang Xuan looked up at Qiao Qun, "Orange grade equipment, first armour from the Demon Sect dungeon? Are you saying that this person might have something to do with Dangling Song? "

Qiao Qun nodded, "Tell me when he started to kill you. "

While he asked Liang Xuan to recall his memories, Quiao Qun exited the game interface and opened his browser to find the Demon Sect First Armour video.

The video was put online the day after, but neither Qiao Qun nor Liang Xuan had ever seen it due to their disdain.

The number of views on the video was 100 million, and when Qiao Qun saw this number, a slight sour jealousy struck his heart; this number of hits should have belonged to him.

He said he didn't care about it, but in reality he didn't want to touch the scars of his own heart.

If this person was a friend or relative of his, it would be fine. But this was a man he had trampled under his own feet.

The person he had stepped on suddenly jumped on top of him. Could he not be repulsed?

But now, for the sake of Liang Xuan, he suppressed his repulsion and opened the video.

Their positioning strategy in the video was no different from his own, but the only difference was that this team worked together perfectly, with almost no mistakes, which was why they saved so much time.

And in this team, they saw that " Killing you Just."

"Killing you Just" was moving around, with Dangling Song close behind, occasionally giving him a blood boost in the gaps.

Seeing this video, Liang Xuan said, "I've always thought it was Bai Lu, but seeing this, Bai Lu and "Killing you Just" were clearly in the same raid. It is absolutely impossible for someone to manipulate two characters at the same time, but who is this assassin? I don't remember ever coming across such a sharp opponent. "

Qiao Qun narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter who it is, we can be sure that this person must be a friend of Bai Lu."

Liang Xuan was now angry at the very sight of the name " Killing you Just."

He sat himself in his chair and simply slammed his keyboard and rubbed his head in annoyance, "Ahh, it's so annoying. Every time I go out to steal a dart, I run into him. And now whenever I go out to rob a dart, I have some lingering fears. I can't even play a game properly anymore! "

Qiao Qun saw Liang Xuan's appearance and thought about how much time had passed since Bai Lu's account was recovered.

It had been a long time since he made a move .
