Chapter 71

Not long after Bai Liu came out of the game, he was walking and chatting with Mu Sicheng.

"What is this panel attribute point?" Bai Liu pointed to this question in his "Burst Last Train" reward, "Is it the thing that I understand that can be added to each attribute at will to improve my panel attribute?"

"Yes and no." Mu Sicheng briefly explained to Bai Liu, "The player level assessment in this game is based on four attributes, physical strength, agility, that is, speed, attack and resistance. The attribute points you get are only Can be used to add to these four attribute bars."

Bai Liu was thoughtful: "I didn't reward this attribute point in my last game."

Mu Sicheng rolled his eyes: "This is an extra reward from the system. You already had an extra reward of [Personal Skills] in the last copy of the rookie single-player game, and you want to get an extra reward of [Attribute Points], It’s a beautiful idea. It’s hard to get this thing. You only get 100 points for clearing the level in the second-level game. The system is very picky, and this thing can’t add points without limit. When you reach the limit of your potential, how can you add panels? Attributes will not increase."

"However." Mu Sicheng paused subtly, "Many people die before reaching the limit of their potential, because a level-2 game only has 100 attribute points, and players who are not raised by the Grand Guild or whose skills are not strong enough are very Easy, but there is also a quick way to get panel attribute points, but few people use it."

Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng: "What method?"

"Participate in the league." Mu Sicheng said in a low voice, "This is how Spade becomes a player above S level, and the league rewards winning players with high attribute points."

Before Mu Sicheng could finish speaking, several colorful virtual fireworks suddenly exploded in the game hall, and the fireworks fell colorfully to form various words, attracting the attention of players coming and going.

【Heavy! Heavy! The annual horror game e-sports league is here! Don't miss it when you pass by! This is the annual event for all gamers! 】

When the players saw this, they looked away as if surprised:

"Ham, I don't know which guild is so rich and started buying system fireworks so early to advertise."

"The support season has begun. From this week onwards, all the major guilds will start advertising their own players frantically. Last time, the King's Guild spent 10 million points on advertisements, and almost didn't come back..."

When the virtual fireworks fell on the player, the player's system panel automatically popped up a game activity interface like a big opening bonus:

[System Event - Horror Game E-sports League is about to start! 】

[Players can choose their participation status - league players or spectators]

[As a league player, you have to fight fiercely with other players in the arena, regardless of life or death, and as a spectator, you can watch the hearty and fierce game competitions, call passionately for your favorite teams and players, and charge likes]

[This is a competitive game where life and desire are wagered. Have you chosen your position? Do you choose to be a frantic and desperate participant in order to realize your desire, or a calm bystander like a god? 】

...

[Requirements for players to participate in the league registration: 5 players who have downloaded more than 52 copies of the game form a team to participate]

[Competition system: Every two teams face off in a team match, a double match, and a single match, and the player with the highest total score in the final three matches advances]

(Note: If a player dies in the team during the game, new players can be recruited by themselves)

...

There are also a lot of activity details below, such as the system store ban of players in the game and so on.

Fireworks also fell on Bai Liu's body, and an advertisement for this event also popped up on his system interface. He simply swipe the system interface to look at it, and it feels a bit like a real e-sports competition.

But Bai Liu is actually not very interested in this type of e-sports games. After all, Bai Liu is a horror game rather than a confrontation game.

However, there is an e-sports league in a horror game, which surprised Bai Liu, but Mu Sicheng seemed to know about it a long time ago, he clicked his tongue, closed the system notification interface, and complained: "It's so annoying. The guild and the system are advertising everywhere again. The league support season is coming."

"Support season?" Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng, "What do you mean? Is this the league you mentioned with a high panel attribute point reward?"

Mu Sicheng pursed his lips impatiently: "You will know when you scroll down, it's all advertising, viral marketing."

Bai Liu scrolled down the system page all the way to the end, and found that just as Mu Sicheng said, the following pages are all promotional pages for various players and guilds. There are team posters and single player posters on the page, and there are charging and like buttons next to the posters , the higher the comprehensive data of charging and likes, the higher the ranking of the promoted page.

The picture of the single player ranked first in the data is a photo of a man with a side face covered by bangs.

This person has pale lips, a thin mandible, a long black whip on his cold and thin wrist, and the tail of the whip is held in his hand. Very fierce and indifferent temperament, this player's picture is still very blurry, but even from the perspective of Bai Liu, who has no normal perception of human beauty, this guy looks very superior, a superiority that can be measured by art standards .

The perfect skeletal modeling made Bai Liu think of Tavel, but this person is much more stern than Tavel's appearance. If Tavel is said to have a glowing and seductive appearance like Moonlight, this spade is like It's a knife without a scabbard, with a sharp appearance that seems to scratch your eyes if you look at it twice. Even under this kind of blurry photo, there is a murderous look and aloof indifference.

Bai Liu clicked on this person's profile:

[Player: Spades (Spades)]

[Comprehensive data of support at present: 1.3 million, ranking first among all participating players, unlocking the death-free gold medal]

(Note: Due to high popularity, the player has the protection of the system and has won the gold medal for avoiding death. In the competition game, when the player is in a dying state, he will be forced to quit the game by the system and placed in the protective cover)

【Total points leaderboard: No. 1】

【Guild to which it belongs: Sequence of Killers】

Bai Liu followed and slid down, and the single poster of the second player who supported him was very different from Spade's. The personal poster of Spade might have been taken by passers-by on the street. The second person's personal poster is exactly that. This is a refined picture of a top team in the entertainment industry, even the fine hairs on their faces can be clearly seen.

The second is an old acquaintance that Bai Liu has heard of for a long time——in the poster is a beautiful cheongsam girl with snow skin and black curly hair, with half-length curly hair, almond eyes and red lips, and a heart icon under her right eye, wearing bright red One-sided slit cheongsam and satin black high-heeled shoes, with one leg up and one leg up, revealing black stockings, and a deck of playing cards in hand, with a half-smile and a lazy expression on his face, very attractive, but just a glance A bewitching fragrance, a rush of desire.

[Player: heart queen (Queen of Hearts)]

[Comprehensive data of support at present: 970,000, ranking second among all participating players, unlocking the death-free gold medal]

[Total Points Ranking: Second]

[Affiliated Guild: King's Crown]

...

While Bai Liu was watching, Mu Sicheng explained to Bai Liu: "In this game, there will be an e-sports league every year after August. Players can form their own teams to participate. Of course, ordinary players go to play this game to give food, and the league is a big guild. They have a solid foundation, and in order to solicit votes for players participating in the league, these guilds will set off fireworks in the game and do various tricks to promote it, we call it the support season."

"The guild will also wantonly search for props in the game and store them to prepare for the participating players and raise their attributes."

"This kind of looting and publicity is very annoying, and it will make it difficult for players like me who don't care about the league to receive the items they think of." Mu Sicheng couldn't help complaining, "And this year I heard that the puppet The master was originally a reserve member of the King's Guild team, so the King's Guild put a lot of effort into training him, and he was also frantically searching for new puppets, but he didn't expect to die in your hands, they should need to replace the reserve team."

"This year the King's Guild is very ambitious and has introduced a newcomer named Little Witch. His personal skills can restore health in the game. He is a very rare player and has been robbed by major guilds. This player is also the number one on the new star list. It was snatched by the King's Guild."

"I heard that the king's guild was going to use the control skills of the puppeteer and the healing skills of this little witch to form a very strange tactic. I was still practicing, but Zhang Puppet was taken by you. They wanted to change their tactics."

Having said that, Mu Sicheng grinned a little gloatingly.

Bai Liu looked at the various teams and players on the promotional panel, thought for a while, and asked: "I was very puzzled before, in this kind of game of life and death, why the audience's rewards are so crazy. Likes and charges add up to 1.3 million, and there are competitive entertainment such as e-sports competitions."

"The audience is just ordinary players. It's not normal to be so entertaining in this kind of game that involves life and death."

Mu Sicheng swiped twice on his system panel, and handed it to Bai Liu: "Because the audience charged these participating players, not only for charging, but for betting. Players can only get 10%, and the system draws Five percent, and the rest is gamble."

[Gentle reminder from the system: Betting 85% of the charging points of a certain player in the audience before the game will enter the gambling system. If the player wins the competition, the audience can win the charging points of the loser]

[Small gambling is fun, big gambling is harmful to the body, please recharge according to your discretion and gamble moderately]

"What's 1.3 million?" Mu Sicheng said, "You didn't see last year's league. In the finals, the charging points of the two sides reached 100 million. Now that the cheering season has just started, this number will still increase."

"Usually the audience recharges ordinary players like us, it's just a drizzle, and it's just for practicing and raising newcomers."

"100 million charging points..." Bai Liu's focus quickly went astray, he calculated, even if the winning player only gets 10%, that's 10 million points...

Ten million points, ten million points, ten million points... Bai Liu's gaze slowly became dark.

And Mu Sicheng is still ignorant of science popularization: "The reward for the champion is 100 million points for each person, single and double competitions, and the first place in the team competition will also be rewarded with attribute points, but I don't know about this, it is said Every year is different, but the point rewards that the winning players get plus the income from charging in the middle is almost an astronomical figure. Once a year is full, the whole family will not be hungry, so the league guild will do its best to prepare for support. "

Bai Liu's finger on the system panel was suspended in the air for five seconds, his eyes froze for a long time when he heard [100 million per person], then Bai Liu took a deep breath calmly, and quickly turned to the previous one Scan the registration interface.

Go fuck the story game experience! ! He wants to compete! ! Let him compete! !

In an instant, only the 100 million points were left in Bai Liu's mind. It is not an exaggeration to say that now his eyes and brain were stimulated into the shape of coins by the 100 million points. He quickly turned to the registration interface:

[Deadline for registration: 2 (month): 01 (day): 7 (hour): 34 (minute)]

[The player is still far from the entry requirements: 50 copies of the game, 4 teammates]

It's too far away.

Bai Liu cooled down a bit, thinking rationally - he only has 61 days left, and he still needs to pass 50 game dungeons, the average real time is more than one day to pass a game dungeon, even if the time flow in the game dungeon is slower, One game a day, his spirit may not be able to sustain it. To be honest, the game consumes a lot of money, otherwise Bai Liu wouldn't be so sleepy every time he went out...

But his eyes glanced at the 100 million points rewarded by that game.

Mu Sicheng was still chattering: "However, this competition has nothing to do with us newcomers this year. It takes 52 dungeons to participate. I usually do it once a week. Now it's only 26 dungeons and there are two months left. No matter what. It is possible to gather this number of copies..."

Just as he was talking, Mu Sicheng met Bai Liu's eyes, and he couldn't help but shuddered and took two steps back: "Bai Liu, what are you doing to me?!"

Bai Liu smiled: "Friend, do you stay up late playing games? The kind that plays fifty copies in two months?"

Mu Sicheng: "?????"

—————

Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu logged out of the game together, and the logout point was Bai Liu's home.

Because Mu Sicheng said that he wanted to contact Bailiu offline, but in the game it is not allowed to talk about the specific information of the player in the real world, such as the specific address and specific phone number, so it is not allowed to talk with outside the game. In the same way, what kind of phone and WeChat account, once the exits are all blocked by the system, so the fastest way for two people to communicate is to log out directly from the same player's waiting exit.

The logout of each player is a string of twelve digits, which is a bit like a password. After the logout is confirmed, the player enters the password to send you to the logout corresponding to the string of passwords.

The initial password of the player's logout exit is the place where they first logged in, and it is also the place where the player logs out by default. In the first game, Bai Liu did not enter the password, so he will log out from the login address by default.

For example, when Bai Liu logs in to the game from his own home, the game will generate a string of twelve-digit passwords for him. The logout exit corresponding to this string of passwords is Bai Liu’s home. No matter who enters the password, he can log in from [Bai Liu’s Home]. out.

Mu Sicheng was still a college student, and he logged in from his dormitory. If Bai Liu logged out from his dormitory, he would be arrested by the housekeeper on the spot, so the two chose Bai Liu's small rental house to log out.

But as soon as he logged out of Bai Liu's room, Mu Sicheng said earnestly: "Bai Liu, listen to my advice, don't participate, and you don't have enough participants, how can you only compete with the two of us... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Sicheng stopped. He looked at the delicate boy sleeping on the white willow bed with a strange look.

Mu Ke didn't know what he had experienced in the game. His face was full of tears, and there were some red marks on his wrists and ankles. It looked like he had been whipped. He hugged Bai Liu's shirt and buried his whole head After entering it, he curled up in a small ball beside the bed like a very insecure little animal, curled up beside the bed like a cat, and fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Liu was not surprised, he didn't give Mu Ke on the bed too many eyes, walked past Mu Ke's bed without looking sideways, and casually replied to Mu Sicheng: "It's three, this one on the bed will do it too." contest."

"?????" Mu Sicheng's face was full of question marks, "Grass, Bai Liu, are you serious? Who is this?"

It's no wonder that Mu Sicheng couldn't recognize Mu Ke with his lame eyes. He really didn't expect that Mu Ke, a newcomer from Bai Liu's group before, would appear on Bai Liu's bed in such a form...

Bai Liu turned to look at Mu Sicheng: "Mu Ke, the new player I brought out from the game last time, I will take him to brush the book together."

Mu Ke and Bai Liu are both pure rookies, and the number of games is 2 times. The number of games owed by Bai Liu and Mu Ke is the same. He can just brush enough at the same time with Mu Ke.

Mu Ke also logged out from Bai Liu's house last time, he knew the logout password of Bai Liu's house, and this time Mu Ke chose to log out from Bai Liu's house after clearing the game, also in Bai Liu's expectation Inside.

Bai Liu asked Mu Ke to play the game by himself before entering the game. He would not intervene too much, and suggested that Mu Ke choose a single-player game. If Mu Ke can survive this time, he will start to train Mu Ke seriously.

Bai Liu doesn't really like to communicate with people with weak minds, he would make excuses for himself too much, so Bai Liu decided to try Mu Ke first, if Mu Ke can successfully pass a game by himself, he will try to train Mu Ke, so as not to cause Zhang Puppet's situation - the King's Guild spent a lot of resources to train Zhang Puppet, but Zhang Puppet relied too much on the puppet and the intelligence he absorbed, and finally fell into the hands of Bai Liu, resulting in a lot of cost sinking.

Bai Liu doesn't like to do things with sunk costs, but he likes to do things with high cost feedback.

It seems that Mu Ke should have passed the level desperately by himself, but after clearing the level, the intense uneasiness of life and death made him subconsciously choose to log out from Bai Liu's house. This is a way of seeking comfort and a way to prove himself behavior——Mu Ke wants to express to Bai Liu immediately after clearing the customs that he has done it.

It's a bit like a child who finally got 100 points in the test and showed the paper to his parents while crying.

The parent, Bai Liu, took a white shirt and suit pants to the bathroom to change, and a few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom looking like a dog.

Mu Sicheng now shrank in the corner as if he had seen a ghost, far away from Mu Ke on the bed, pointed to Mu Ke on the bed, and Mu Sicheng asked Bai Liu who had changed his clothes with an indescribable expression and tone: "...Did you kidnap that rookie player you saved last time?!"

"He wants to come by himself, and he has the logout number of my house, so I can't help it." Bai Liu didn't realize that Mu Sicheng had lost his mind at all, "I was planning to let him go, but now the time is urgent, I want to participate, I don't have many cards in my hand, and he is quite obedient, I think I can take him to brush dungeons to train him."

After Bai Liu knew that he could get 100 million points by participating in that league, he felt as if he had to participate in the competition. No matter how much Mu Sicheng persuaded him, he had to ask Bai Liu, five people participated in 52 games in this competition Only the above people can form a team, where can Bai Liu find these people to form a team with him?

Even if Mu Sicheng himself, who is still short of more than 20 games, is added forcibly, Bai Liu is still short of three people.

But with Bai Liu's appearance just now, it is obvious that he is going to take Mu Ke, who has played the game twice like himself, to the competition!

This is simply a joke! After two months of non-stop brushing the game fifty times to reach the registration line, even if Bai Liu's crazy mental value can bear it, how could Mu Ke, an ordinary player, be able to bear it?

Mu Sicheng couldn't help pointing at Mu Ke who was still on the bed: "Bai Liu, you may be able to do fifty times forcibly, but Mu Ke is a newcomer? He should have just passed the level and still has injuries on his body. Do you know under what circumstances the player will be injured when he comes out of the copy of the game? You and I came out without injuries."

Bai Liu tied the tie for herself, glanced over the injuries on Mu Ke's wrist and ankle, and finally landed on Mu Sicheng's face, and asked, "Under what circumstances will players be injured when they come out?

Mu Sicheng casually found a chair and flipped it over to sit down. He spent a lot of energy in the game and looked lazy, but apart from being a little lethargic, Mu Sicheng did not have any injuries on his body.

Mu Sicheng put his head on the chair and looked up at Bai Liu who was wearing a tie: "Injuries in the game can only be brought out if he believes that he is injured and cannot be healed, then the game will obey the player's will and let you take the injury." Generally speaking, only in the case of extreme fear, such as when the mental value drops below 10, usually people will lose their understanding of the game and feel that they are not in the game but in reality, then he will feel If you are really injured, the injury will be brought out."

Saying that, Mu Sicheng glanced at the boy on the bed who looked very fragile in terms of body movements and appearance, that is, Mu Ke, and looked at Bai Liu with a very disapproving look.

"It's easy for a player to get injured when he comes out of the game, which only shows that the player's psychological quality is not good, and the potential of the board is not high, and if I remember correctly, this Mu Ke is still a player with no personal skills?" Mu Sicheng challenged Mei asked back, "Are you sure you want to take him to the competition, what's the difference between this and delivering food?"

"But I can say that, to a certain extent, I relied on his help to successfully pass the level in the last dungeon "The Last Bus Explosion"." Bai Liu raised his eyes to look at Mu Sicheng, calmly explain.

In the end, Bai Liu relied on Mu Ke's [Mermaid Amulet] to have the hole card to confront the god-level npc, and it was also relying on the [Mermaid Amulet] in Mu Ke's hand to lure Mu Sicheng in.

According to Mu Sicheng, Mu Ke will come out with injuries, so he must have reached the level of extreme fear and urgency in his own copy of the game.

But he still didn't use the item [Mermaid's Amulet] in his single-player copy, and he left his most precious survival item to Bai Liu.

It’s just because before entering the game, Bai Liu mentioned to him that I might use your item [Mermaid’s Amulet], even if Mu Ke’s mental value has dropped to a level of fear that confuses reality and the game, he didn’t use it Props, and tried to run out of the game with injuries all over his body.

This is the same approach as Mu Sicheng did in "The Last Train Exploding".

"You and him have the same value in my heart, Mu Sicheng." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng, his eyes were not turbulent, "Because you all kept the deal with me in a desperate situation, I respect this very much." One point, so I can't break the agreement with you, I said that if he can come out by himself this time, I will train him well and let him live."

"Just like I won't give up on you, I won't give up on him easily either." Bai Liu looked at the bruised Muke on the bed, and lowered his eyes, "Because you have all proved to me your value to me."
