Chapter 3： battle of gods

Ye Shaoyang turned on the computer and searched for the game "God War" in the browser.

The dense search results startled him.

Today is the era of national e-sports. Games have become an entertainment activity for many people in their leisure time. More than 60% of young people play games. In the Huaguo region alone, the number of active gamers has exceeded the 200 million mark.

The Shenzhan Professional League has a total of eight major divisions in the world - North America Division, European Division, South Korea Division, China Division, Africa Division, Latin America Division, Southeast Asia Division and Wild Card Division.

As one of the largest competition areas, the Huaguo District has a fixed 18 teams in the top league, which are eliminated at the end of each season. There are countless teams in the secondary league, and there are thousands of professional players officially registered in the professional league.

Among them, the most popular professional player is named Chi Shuo, who is the current captain of Team Tianhuan. He can easily break through six figures by posting Weibo daily, forwarding and leaving messages.

In this world, the popularity and treatment of e-sports players are not inferior to those of superstars, and the public recognition is also quite high. If you can come back with a world championship, it will be even more adored by the stars and the glory.

It is currently the ninth season of War of the Gods.

Different from the games that Ye Shaoyang used to play in the spring and summer games, the game system of God Wars is to play the preseason and regular season in the first half of the year, all-star games and single and double small events in the middle of the year, and the playoffs and the world in the second half of the year. contest.

The playoffs of the ninth season will officially begin on September 1. Today is August 20th, and this season will definitely not catch up. Hurry up and work hard. In the tenth season next year, he should be able to join this brand new battlefield as a professional player!

Although I have been playing e-sports for several years, suddenly changing the game will also face the problem of "acclimatization". He needs to seriously understand the rules of the new game, practice a few more good heroes, and watch more professional league game videos to ensure that he will not lose the chain at critical moments.

Ye Shaoyang opened the game icon on the desktop.

Judging from the login animation with gorgeous special effects, "War of Gods" is a game with a fantasy background. The opening animation tells that the angel is attacking the demons, and there is a mysterious shadow in the demons reborn in the abyss. The game version is called "Abyss Awakening", this mysterious shadow should be a new character in the current version.

The opening animation lasts for 30 seconds and then pops into the game lobby.

The game interface is very simple, the upper left corner is the character information column, Ye Shaoyang's account ID is also called "Xiaobai", and the avatar is his Ragdoll cat. The bottom is the mall, heroes, friends, teams and other functional menus, and there are four halls in the middle, which are divided into [Ladder Ranking] [Casino] [Race Hall] [Training Camp].

Ye Shaoyang clicked into the ladder qualifying competition, and a prompt popped up in front of him: [Player Xiaobai is welcome to enter the ladder qualifying competition, the 9-3 season of Shenzhan has begun, your record in the fixed stage competition is 0 wins and 3 losses, the current rank: Bronze 1st stage 】

Ye Shaoyang clicked on the description of the rank.

According to the player's level, the ladder ranks are divided into seven ranks from low to high: Bronze 1st, Silver 2nd, Gold 3rd, Platinum 4th, Diamond 5th, Master 6th, and King 7th. This is similar to the LOL he has played.

The difference is that there are two more dan ranks above the seventh dan, namely the 8th dan of glory (the honorary title conferred by the champion of the National Professional League) and the 9th dan of glory (the honorary title conferred by the world championship champion).

In other words, you can go from bronze to king by yourself, but 8th and 9th dan are officially awarded "honorary titles" after winning the championship in the professional league. Ordinary players can't get them even if they are strong.

Of course, ordinary players would not dare to expect such a professional title. The eight-dan national championship and the nine-dan world championship symbolize the highest level of professional leagues.

The [Fixed Stage Competition] in the game is a competition that new players participate in uniformly. Depending on the outcome, the system will reassign the new player's initial rank. For example, if a master plays a trumpet and wins all three rounds of a fixed stage match, he can directly set the fourth stage platinum, and start upgrading from platinum. Like his previous three-game losing streak, then start from the lowest bronze and slowly climb up.

The game I played when I just crossed over today was a fixed stage match. A professional player named "Fan Xing" built a trumpet to participate in the rookie fixed stage match and happened to collide with him.

Ye Shaoyang searched the live broadcast room of "Fanxing" and clicked a follow.

After reading the general information, he got up and poured a glass of water, settled Xiaobai on the sofa next to him, sat back at the table, clicked into the [Training Camp] in the game, and started a man-machine game first.

The game interface is loaded, and the system sound is heard in the ear: [Please select the hero used in this game].

His account currently only has 5 heroes.

Ye Shaoyang looked at the description and randomly chose a female mage role.

The rules of 5V5 tower push games are the same, and he is familiar with such games. But the new game's map, hero skills, and data settings are different, and he still needs to re-understand.

For example, the distribution and blood volume of mobs in the wild, the birth time and kill rewards of each wave of minions, the location and refresh interval of blue buffs and red buffs, the price and synthesis method of each piece of equipment in the equipment library, etc. The games he had been exposed to before were different, and he had to re-memorize them.

— For pros, it is critical to remember these precise numbers.

Ye Shaoyang casually built a table in the computer, while observing and recording. A man-machine game turned into a fight between 9 intelligent robots, but Ye Shaoyang, the only player, never disappeared. The opposing robot played 5 against 4 and broke our robot, and the game was quickly lost.

Ye Shaoyang started another round and continued to record the data of the equipment library.

This record is over an hour.

It was getting dark outside, Ye Shaoyang rubbed his sore neck, saved the form, followed by opening the official website to find the "Game Information Station" to inquire about all the heroes.

There are more than 100 heroes in the battle of gods, and the densely packed hero portraits are dazzling. Ye Shaoyang is a professional mid laner and likes to play mid lane, so he first checked the "Mid lane mage" category.

The avatars of 12 mage heroes appear on the screen—

World Mage, Holy Spirit Mage, Sun Wheel Mage, Moonlight Mage, Flying Sky Mage, Earth Mage, 6 male characters.

Goddess of Frost, Goddess of Flame, Goddess of Storm, Goddess of Thunder, Goddess of Ocean, Goddess of Fate, 6 female characters.

There are more than 100 heroes, and there should be more than 12 heroes in the middle.

Ye Shaoyang continued to check the "Spell Damage" option, and then popped up a lot of heroes - Succubus, Elf Summoner, Mechanic, Curse Warlock, High Priest, Necromancer, etc. All added up, the skills belong to the heroes with spell damage 25 in total. The hero "Abyss Lord" just released in the latest version of the game is also a spell damage hero.

This ratio is reasonable.

If he wants to become an excellent mid laner, the first thing he has to do is to train these 25 heroes with spell damage, and be proficient in more than 8 heroes suitable for playing games, so as to expand his hero pool.

This is certainly not a task that can be accomplished overnight.

Even if he was rated as "the most valuable mid laner" by the league in the previous world, and a new hero comes out in the new version, he still needs to practice repeatedly before he dares to get on the field, not to mention this is a brand new game.

Ye Shaoyang built another form on the computer, and quickly entered the hero information in the data station. He organized a document and read it at any time. This is his habit, which can deepen his memory.

In the afternoon, he was sorting out the information.

The first table records various precise values ​​and equipment library information in the game, the second table records the characteristics and skill data of hundreds of heroes, and then saves the table to the mobile phone. In this way, if he encounters any unclear place in the future, he can open the form and check it directly, saving a lot of trouble.

Students have to sort out and review materials for exams. He wants to take the path of e-sports again, and he always has to show a serious attitude.

It was already 7:30 pm when all the information was sorted out. Ye Shaoyang was about to order takeout when his phone suddenly rang, and the caller displayed "Qin Yue". He hurriedly pressed the answer button: "Cousin, do you have anything to do with me?"

Qin Yue said in a gentle voice, "are you home? I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Brother, say it."

"You have spare rooms in your house, right?"

"Yeah, there is."

"My brother Qin Rui was admitted to Xingcheng University this year, and the school will start in a few days. Their school is very close to yours. If it is convenient, can you let him live with you for a while? My parents are not very worried about letting him go. live on campus."

"..." Ye Shaoyang suddenly realized that his cousin Qin Yue thought that he had a psychological problem and was worried that he was at home alone, so he sent his younger brother to accompany him. And he has not yet differentiated, it is really not safe to be at home alone. Anything close to the school or staying for a while is just an excuse.

Ye Shaoyang was just trying to learn more about the world. If his cousin moved in with him, he could ask his younger brother directly if he had any questions. The younger brother goes to school during the day, and it will not affect his playing games.

Killing two birds with one stone, there is no need to refuse.

"No problem, let him come and live." Ye Shaoyang simply agreed.

"That's fine, I'll drive Xiao Rui over later. Please take care of him in the future."

"It should be." Ye Shaoyang said politely.

Qin Yue was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "By the way, Xiao Rui just differentiated into Omega some time ago, I gave him a strong inhibitor, his pheromone state is very stable now, and the two of you are related by blood, His pheromone won't affect you, you can rest assured."

"...Oh." Ye Shaoyang scratched his head in embarrassment.

The words such as differentiation and pheromone still sound unfamiliar.

Omega brother?

There are glands in the back of the neck, the kind of boy who can have a baby? Ye Shaoyang was very curious.

I just happened to find this younger brother to learn more about Omega's professional knowledge. His current physiological knowledge is all based on the popular science found by Baidu, and most of the strange words have not been understood.

Although he felt that his character should differentiate into a domineering Alpha.

But what if? If there is a 50% chance of becoming an Omega, he must at least know how to deal with it!
