Chapter 153: The password is––7758521
The game officials had done a good job.
The new singles competition mode was already online for the test servers, and many players had already experienced it for themselves. Some players praised it, but even more players flamed it. Theyd been kicking up a fuss on the internet for a while now.
Wei Xiao had also tried it. He thought that it was pretty good.
For those who liked battle, wasnt being able to kill 99 people in one go the happiest thing?!
The Glory game designers had constantly been exploring new ways to play over the years.
The inherent MOBA gameplay style was enough to retain players, and the development of new talents could also give them a sense of freshness, but in this day and age, when all kinds of games were emerging one after another, making no progress was the same as falling behind.
Glorys ten year popularity relied on its continuous innovation and the way that it kept up with the times.
Nothing could remain standing still. If nothing changed, then the game would only go downhill.
Regardless of how fiercely the old players cursed, Glory still resolutely launched a new mode of play.
The 5v5 mode was already very mature. It was difficult to make any big changes to it, but on the other hand, the developers were still feeling their way around the singles and doubles gameplay modes.
The 1v1 single player competition was a test of a players individual operation, but the sense of suspense and viewing enjoyment was relatively weak.
In particular, Close, this peak level player, had caused this competition style to enter a slump in popularity.
Being unable to beat the great demon king caused players to have a lack of confidence when it came to challenging this play mode.
The gap between the champion Close and the runner-up Gary was so big. How would others have the confidence to play this mode?
After a long period of deliberation, the game officials finally proposed a new mode this year.
The canyon became an empty island, 1v1 became a big brawl, and the oversized map with a 100 person melee brawl gave everyone more fighting opportunities.
Personal operation, strategic planning, and even palace intrigue could be played out to the fullest on this field.
This was no longer a lonely battlefield where one person crushed another, but a huge battle where it was one person against 99!
If players wanted to remain standing until the end, not only did they need to rely on their personal skills, but their comprehensive strength and even their luck would be tested here.
In a fair competition, adding a small amount of luck would create additional suspense.
Good luck didnt necessarily mean winning.
Bad luck didnt necessarily mean losing.
But luck was another way of showing strength.
Although there was a lot of online abuse, and people swore that they wouldnt play this mode even if someone threatened to kill them, the game officials still promoted this mode actively, officially launching it in the week when the regular season for each competition zone was coming to an end.
This was making it very clear that they wanted to get it off the ground.
The purpose of the official launch in the regular servers was to completely revamp the competition system during the playoffs and give the audience new, stimulating things to watch.
The game and the competitions complimented each other.
Traffic from the game was related to the popularity of the competition, and the passion inspired by the competition could consolidate the players attachment to the game.
So, as soon as a new mode was launched, the game officials would definitely find a way to create a breakthrough in public opinion through the competitive side.
This was the first time theyd organized a global all star game outside of the world championships!
The 16 invited players were the top peak players in terms of popularity and skill.
The 20 top anchors were also big gods who were worth tens of millions.
What made the players happy was that the remaining 64 spots would all be given to players!
Passerby kings, hardcore fans, little novices, cute newbie girls
Anyone who signed up would have a chance to be on the global live broadcast and compete against their favorite competitive player or anchor!
With this wave of actions, those whod sworn that they wouldnt support the new mode instantly changed their attitudes
I wont play the new mode even if you beat me to death!
Oh, its so interesting.
The official invitation letter was sent directly to FTWs base.
Lu Feng was still far away in North America, but the letter had already been received.
By the time Wei Xiao woke up, Weibo had already exploded from the news.
Brother Cai, whod ended up covered in sweat after being walked by Soybean, gasped for breath, Damn, three people were selected from the China competition zone!
Wei Xiao was still browsing through his Weibo. He looked up when he heard the news, Who?
Close was a given. Who were the remaining two?
Bai Cai read out the names, Asleep and Moonlit.
Wei Xiao:
Bai Cai coaxed him, Hold it, only one person can be chosen per club. Its not that youre not strong enough! Its just that Close is too strong.
Wei Xiao tsked, Fine then.
He was willing to accept that his quota had been given to his boyfriend.
Then, Wei Xiao saw the names Yuan Ze and Gary appear on the list at the same time.
Wei Xiao: ???
Bai Cais brain stalled.
Wei Xiao was gloomy. It turns out that Old Dog Yuan and Old G arent from the same team?
Bai Cai cleared his throat. About that, Old G was last years singles competition runner up.
Wei Xiao, So?
Bai Cai: The champion and runner up players would definitely be invited.
Wei Xiao: So its not that only one person can be chosen from each club, but that Im not as strong as Old Dog Yuan?
Bai Cai was cautious. Thats not what I said. Youre the one who said it.
Wei Xiao: He was the one who was choked for words for once.
Quiet was still a little far off from qualifying for a quota of this level.
Most people in China might know that Quiet was an even more excellent player than Asleep and Moonlit, and some even felt Quiet was the number one player in the China competition zone, after Close.
But that was of no use
Professional players depended on results. The game officials wouldnt only look at how popular a player was. It wasnt like Quiet was a game anchor.
Wei Xiao naturally hadnt achieved any results. This was his first season, and they hadnt even finished the regular season yet. What kind of results could he have?
There was no need to mention Close, whod been a champion for four consecutive years, Chinas great demon king.
Asleep and Moonlit had also performed brilliantly last season.
One of them finished second place in the global doubles and was the champion of the domestic doubles, while the other was the runner up from Chinas 5v5 and singles competition, making them both very qualified.
Even if these two people were unable to participate for some reason, there was also Eurostar, Fu Li, and Money.
They could bypass God Yi, since support players couldnt go up on their own.
For example, Brother Cai. If he really was given a spot, he might kneel down and beg the game official daddies to let him off the hook.
Wei Xiao was just messing around with Brother Cai. He understood the score in his heart and knew that he wouldnt be chosen, but
There were 64 ordinary players who could participate.
Wei Xiao looked at his own alt accounts
Oh, it was really shameful
He had five accounts that were ranked in the national servers.
Lu Feng called him. Wei Xiao immediately tossed Bai Cai aside.
Captain, will you be able to take part in the kick-off game for the big brawl mode?
The effect from the physiotherapy had been getting better day by day over the past two weeks. Lu Feng had already been approved to play one hour of games every day.
Lu Feng: If you want to participate, Ill
Wei Xiao immediately said, No! I want you to participate!
He then added, As long as the doctor allows it.
Lu Feng laughed briefly, I can. The readjustment time has now been increased to two hours.
Wei Xiao was as happy as could be. Thats great!
The new single player system wasnt the same as before.
In a 1v1 game, no matter how tense or anxious it was, the game would still be over in 20 to 30 minutes. A fast game could be over in 15 or 16 minutes.
The battle royale mode had one hundred people in the same arena, and it took place on a huge map. It would definitely take more time to finish a single game.
Although they hadnt started any formal competitions, judging from the data from the test servers, winning the game would take about an hour.
Even if professional players were more cautious when playing, one and a half hours would still be enough to finish the game.
Now that Lu Feng could play for two hours, he could definitely take part in the competition!
Wei Xiao didnt tell Lu Feng about his small plans. The main reason for this was that the chance of winning the lottery was too small.
If he won, then his luck was really explosive, and if he didnt win, then it was very normal.
If he spoke about it in advance, then having ones hopes dashed would be the worst thing.
He chatted with Lu Feng for a while about the singles competition, and then they moved on to discuss Wei Xiaos nine light arcs.
Wei Xiao had been worrying about it for many days, and he didnt hide anything from Lu Feng. I dunno The more I want to brush it out, the more I cant brush it out.
The principle for nine light arcs was open to the public. As long as the player had the operation level to do it, then theoretically, it could be brushed out at will.
But theory was theory. Actually being able to brush it out was something else.
This wasnt something that could be perfected with practice, because it was difficult to even get familiar with it without a strong enough opponent.
Lu Feng replied, Dont worry. Wait for me to come back and accompany you.
Wei Xiao thought the same way. Hurry up, hurry up, theres a lot of things to do together when you come back!
Lu Feng paused.
Wei Xiao realized that hed hinted at something else and his ears heated. Um, I didnt mean that I want to, um that.
Lu Feng:
Wei Xiaos throat felt hot. No, no, I want to! After saying that, he wished he could find a spot in the ground to bury himself in.
But unexpectedly, his captain chuckled in a low voice, I also want to.
Wei Xiao:
He was dead. His cause of death was probably that hed been killed off by this deadly sexy voice.
After seeing the list, Yuan Ze first went to look for Lu Feng.
Can you play? He looked at Lu Fengs shoulder.
Lu Feng: Winning against you wont be a problem.
Yuan Ze:
Recently, he often dreamed about that period three years ago. Could he really be getting old?
In the past two months, ever since Lu Feng had come to North America, Yuan Ze had really done his best.
Hed come over to mooch from time to timethe hotel restaurant that was $200 per head tasted many times better than the food at the base. Oh, it would be better if it hadnt come mixed with dog food.
Hed gotten involved in live broadcasts from time to timeseeing the iceberg Close go online to brush out 520 roses and 1314 hearts in person. It wasnt anything to be happy about; it was just inexplicably a bit choking.
Hed discuss tactics from time to timeL&Ps regular season was quite tense. There were many strong teams in North America, and winning the championship wouldnt be that easy for L&P.
After having taken advantage of so much, it was time for Yuan Ze to give back a little.
Tomorrow is the opening game. Do you want to come to L&P and get a feel for it?
Lu Feng thought about it, Sure.
Yuan Ze naturally had his own small abacus in mind. It just so happens that a rookie joined the secondary team. His ice skills are quite accurate. You can let loose and abuse him. Any player whod been abused by the almighty great demon king grew up very quickly.
Lu Feng glanced at him.
Yuan Ze sold out Old G very neatly. Of course, theres also Gary.
Lu Feng: What about you.
Yuan Ze: Theres no need for that. Big brother wont take advantage of how you havent played games for two months to bully you.
Lu Feng: Oh, then forget it.
Yuan Ze: ???
Lu Feng: Logging on to the Korean servers from here is quite smooth. Pro
He hadnt finished his sentence when Yuan Ze mentally cursed Kim Sung-hyun for being insidious and sinister, and interjected, Fine, fine, fine, Ill also offer myself up for abuse!
The opening game for the singles competition would be held online, and the game would be broadcast live online.
After all, there would be players from all over the world. There was no need to have everyone get together just to play a showcase game.
Although everyone was scattered, the competition committee from each competition zone would still assess the players environment and arrange referees in order to strive for fairness.
The equipment in Lu Fengs hotel obviously didnt meet the required standards, so he would need to borrow L&Ps equipment to play. It was a good idea to get familiar with the equipment in advance.
As soon as Lu Feng arrived at L&P, he was welcomed enthusiastically.
Especially Old G; if it wasnt for the way that Closes expression was too cold, he wouldve gone up to give him a hug.
When they were preparing to start the game, Lu Feng glanced at the time, Im going to open up a live stream.
Lu Feng: Dont worry, Im only showing it to one person.
Yuan Ze: This seemed to be a familiar scene.
The studio was opened very quickly, and the password almost blinded Yuan Ze7758521.
Kiss-kiss me, I love you?
Who wouldve dared to think that this was the conduct of the cold-faced great demon king who rejected people from thousands of miles away!
