Chapter 80: Game Hall (1/2)
The Scavenger Zombies Guild issued a three day hunt for Bai Liu. This created intense discussions among players and the forums were overturned.
[Let’s have a rational discussion. If the Zombies Guild gets Bai Liu’s weapons, is it possible to break into the top 20 this year?]
I’m a bit itchy and want to bet on the rotting zombies.
1L: Wake up, poster. Did a new weapon make you confused? This is the league! They are all great gods, okay! They use the top weapons and items that the guilds have spent a year searching for! Bai Liu’s weapon really isn’t enough.
2L: The scavenger zombies are obviously engaged in marketing. Bai Liu’s whip is judged as relatively strong at present but he can’t even kill a small mob with it. How can it compare with top weapons? I think Miao Feichi’s pair of knives are better than that whip. At the very least, the output is better.
3L: Poster, listen to me. The scavenger zombies will be okay in the top 20 of the doubles competition but not the top 20 for the team competition.
Poster: However, the data of the two god-level NPC weapons in Bai Liu’s hands are unclear, right? Maybe it is a bug-like weapon. If the rotting zombies get it, they might be able to win by surprise!
5L: It’s over. Here is another poster who has been fooled by the marketing of the guilds during the support season. Haven’t you seen that the Kings Guild sold the broken lenses to the zombies? If it is really so good to use, why doesn’t the Kings Guild put together the ghost mirror on their own? Why sell the broken lenses?
The Kings Guild has item appraisers and repair masters who can repair and appraise the value of broken items. This item obviously has no value after identification so the Kings Guild sold it!
6L: The rotting zombies are obviously using the hype. Didn’t Bai Liu rush to second place on the rising stars ranking before? Many people call him the second Spades but I think this bragging is a bit much. Now two S-level guild players are coming out to encircle and kill him. He will easily become cold.
7L: However, isn’t Bai Liu tied to God Mu now? It isn’t easy for the scavenger guild to kill Bai Liu with God Mu around. After all, God Mu’s movement speed is like a bug.
8L: If he is bound to God Mu, it depends on who chases and kills. If it is the main force of the zombies hunting them down then these two people will be cold. Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang are both S-level players. Among them, Miao Gaojiang’s anti-attack ability is S-level and Miao Feichi will eat his opponent every time he wins. The adrenaline of the audience watching his small TV soars every time and the amount of points they charge him is crazy. I think Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng can’t beat them in all aspects. Mainly, it is Bai Liu pulling them down too much. I think Mu Sicheng’s speed skill can beat Miao Feichi but it is difficult to make progress with Miao Gaojiang there.
9L: Bai Liu isn’t a main attacker, he is an intellectual player. He even won against the puppet master, okay? Don’t talk about him too badly.
10L: Is the person upstairs new? I’m slightly speechless by these words. First of all, the puppet master is only A-level and has never participated in the league. It is very different from Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang who have played in the league. In addition, the puppet master’s intelligence was very limited. Previously he jumped fiercely and said he wanted to boost his prestige in the league. The Kings Guild marketed him and Little Witch so I didn’t dare to speak. Now that he is dead, I can say this. The game between him and Bai Liu isn’t at a level that would be played by someone with 93 points in intelligence. The playing method was too low-end.
In addition, Bai Liu is just an intellectual player. The scavenger zombies aren’t just output players but also intellectual players. Miao Gaojiang —[Link: Top ten intelligent anti-killing moments of the league.] In this video with more than 2 million views, Miao Gaojiang is included. He once counter-killed a duo from the Kings Guild by scheming.
By the way, Miao Gaojiang’s intelligence value is the same as Bai Liu’s. They both have 89 points. Miao Gaojiang has more experience.
No matter how you say it, Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang aren’t on the same level as Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng. Still, it is unlikely that these two people will come out to hunt down Bai Liu, a newcomer. I have been paying attention to their guild recently. Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang are training in large-scale instances that are basically level 3 instances.
This time, their actions against Bai Liu are likely to be a promotion strategy and a marketing method. There is nothing to pay attention to. We can disperse. In addition, if the original poster likes the Scavenger Zombies Guild then do you want to make a bold bet? This year, I’ve watched practice games between Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. I think they are in really good shape.
……
36L: I’m here to slap the face of someone upstairs. The Scavenger Zombies Guild has just issued an announcement. It won’t be the ordinary players of their guild who are chasing after the Bai Mu duo but their doubles team act—Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. Miao Feichi said that after he wins, he will use Bai Liu to do a food broadcast. He is waiting to chase Bai Liu.
37L: ?!?! Seriously?! The scavenger zombies are personally hunting him down in person? Aren’t they playing the training instances? How come they are going to fight against ordinary players?!
The forums exploded in an instant.
Inside the Kings Guild.
A serious looking person holding a system panel hurriedly walked through the bustling crowd into an office. There was a bright red heart hung above the office door and something dripped down like a heart that was dripping blood. The poison system of the skull below was dyed red. This system made the person who knocked on the door gulp but in the end, he knocked. “Queen, Wang Shun has synthesized the results of the charging issue of every small TV episode of the Queen of Hearts. Do you want to see it now?”
“Come in.”
The man entered in trepidation.
A woman with a pipe in her hand, wearing a black-red cheongsam with a slit to one side, black silk stockings and high heels leaned lazily on a black bench. One foot was lifted up over the other and her hair was tied back in a loose bun that was fixed with a long wooden hairpin. There were long black tassels hanging from her ears onto her bare white shoulders. A shawl was placed around her arms and slipped down her back.
The middle of her eyes was slightly rounded and the tail was upturned. Her eyes were hazy and her lips were bright red and plump. She gently held the end of the pipe, took a puff and blew it out slowly. The white smoke lingering around her body seemed to have a type of fragrance and color. The end of her eyes drooped down in a slightly tired manner. She looked cold and lofty.
She wasn’t the only one in the office. The place was full of people and noisy arguments.
“The Queen’s charging support rate had shown a significant downward trend this month…”
“I think it is team combat that masks the Queen’s personal appeal and leads to the charged points being scattered to everyone on the team…”
“I told you to make star players, star players! Look at the number one player, Spades! It is this strong personal style that attracted a large audience…”
“I object. The team battles are the highlight of the league! The league will start in two months. We can’t put the cart before the horse! The Queen must start practicing with the players! Now even Spades is training with his team!”
“The backup team member Puppet Zhang died. We have lost a team play method. The new practice method needs to be honed….”
“There is also an important new player in our team who needs to be honed. It is Taboo Witch who is first on the rising star rankings. Her personal skill can both be used as output or to recover health. This is rare and precious in the game. She hasn’t cooperated with the other members of our team because she is 13 instances short of signing up to the league. She is currently clearing instances…”
The Queen of Hearts rubbed her brow and sat up, waving lazily. Her voice had a low and hoarse texture due to smoking. “Okay, all operation managers stop first and listen to the report.”
Suddenly, all the sounds stopped abruptly. They bowed respectfully and moved back. “Okay, Queen.”
The person who came in to report glanced carefully at the team behind the operation of the Queen of Hearts. He gulped and started to report in a low voice.
“This month, the total number of points charged to the Queen of Hearts dropped by 19% compared with the previous month. The peak audience number also dropped by 21%… the comprehensive data of the small TV has dropped by 13.67%…”
“The gap with the third-ranked player, the ‘Reverse Cross Disciple’ has been further narrowed. According to the current trend, it is very likely that… we will be surpassed in the second half of the year. However, we are still stable as number one in the ‘high face value’ ranking…”
Queen of Hearts lowered her eyes and listened for a moment. Then she raised her hand to interrupt the other party’s report. “Tell me the direction the audience I’m losing is heading to.”
“Oh, yes.” The reporting person clicked on his system panel and continued to report after turning the page. “Based on the small TV data analysis done by Wang Shun, the direction of the loss is toward high level players who have a direct competitive relationship with Queen of Hearts. The main loss is to Reverse Cross Disciple but the proportion isn’t much. It is less than one-third.”
“The remaining two-thirds of the audience lost…” The reporter smiled bitterly. “It is to low level players. This group of newcomers is too good at playing. They have distinctive personal characteristics and their viewing rate has greatly improved.”
“No matter whether is it Little Witch with both healing and output who is ranked first in the rising stars ranking, the control class player Bai Liu who has just rushed to second place, the third ranked 100% lucky ‘Parrot’ or the fourth ranked ‘Monkey Thief’ who once stole from Spades…” (TL: The ‘ying’ in Du Sanying’s name means Parrot)
“The competitiveness of their small TVs is far beyond the average level that newcomers should have.” The reporter sighed.
“The witch is ours. It doesn’t matter if we lose some audience members to her.” Hearts learned back lazily and took a puff from the pipe. “Bai Liu? Is this the newcomer who is called the second Spades by the system?”
The reporter paused hesitantly. He raised his head and glanced at Queen of Hearts. He thoughtfully said, “Yes, this newcomer killed Puppet Zhang. It seems that his personal skill is the control type. We have been preparing for the league recently so we didn’t pursue the matter of him killing Puppet Zhang. We also found that Puppet Zhang really isn’t capable…”
