Initiating a Plant Revolution in the Otherworld

Chapter 271 Silver Swap Mechanism (5400 words) (seeking tickets~)

"What speed is this!?"

"How long has it been? Damn! It's only eight o'clock!"

"A game is played every 3 minutes on average... People who play with him can't wait a little longer..."

"I just had a duel with him... To be honest, when I saw him as my opponent, I just wanted to give up... I didn't want to fight him any more..."

After the birth of the first silver-ranked player in the Magic Battle Hall, there was a lot of discussion around, and everyone watched Andy leave the promotion area step by step and headed for the counter as if they were watching a ghost.

Not to mention whether the opponent will delay the time.

Even if you don't delay the time, the opponent will play cards within 5 seconds as if you are in a group arena match. No one in the field can guarantee that they can directly advance to 30 consecutive victories.

But for Andy, because there are high-intensity group arena matches every day, this kind of tier match is just commonplace.

And on the second floor, some nobles also inquired about the movement on the first floor. The news that someone downstairs was promoted to the silver rank within an hour and a half immediately spread in the booth area.

Rowell frowned just after finishing a game and won his 19th consecutive victory.

One thing to say, he felt that his speed was already very fast, but in the end, could anyone be so much faster than him?

Even Watson on the side is only on equal terms with him.

The two chased after each other, and the number of wins was basically maintained at a gap of one or two rounds.

Who is faster and who is slower depends entirely on whether the opponent is willing to speed up the speed of playing cards.

Thinking of this, Rowell loosened his brows again.

The person downstairs must have the strength, but promotion to silver, after all, as long as it is the highest level group of people, it is basically no problem.

Whether to finish faster or slower is no longer a matter of strength for them, but a matter of matching opponents.

After thinking about this clearly, he stopped being entangled and continued to devote himself to the duel.

On the side, after hearing the news, Watson thought more deeply than Rowell.

Fighting magic itself has a certain threshold.

Especially the Magic Illustrated Table, as the elemental cards continue to release new issues, the combinations inside will become more and more complicated.

In this regard, well-educated nobles have an advantage.

A fighter like him who cultivates fighting qi, because he is physically healthy and full of energy, ensures that his brain is more active than ordinary people, his memory is better, and his thinking is more agile.

Ordinary people can also proficiently recite the tables of the magic illustrated book and use them in actual combat after a long period of memorization.

If it's just one or two rounds, three or four rounds, it won't be much different from a fighter like Watson.

But if it is like now, the high-intensity sprint duel is not as simple as imagined for the loss of brain power.

Especially when it is still necessary to guarantee a 30-game winning streak.

This is a completely different concept from the usual entertainment game. Although the tension is not as intense as the regular game, it is definitely much more intense than the daily game.

Those like Watson are okay, but the little nobles next to him who are not cultivated are a little tired after playing more than a dozen rounds, so they just sit aside and rest.

There is nothing wrong with letting them persevere.

But because there is no interference from the obsession of "winning streak", there is no idea that he must be promoted to "Silver" tonight.

So relatively speaking, their nervousness will be far lower than that of the person downstairs.

All in all, in Watson's view, the first person downstairs to be promoted to silver will not be weaker than him and Rowell.

But exactly how, or have to touch a back to know.

At the counter on the first floor, Andy held his iron box in his hand, like a soldier holding his own rifle, and walked up to Nora and Ron step by step.

Ron held a special silver badge in his hand.

The overall badge is silver-white, in the shape of a hexagon, and a symbol of an element is engraved on each corner.

On the periphery of the center, there is a ring of elemental bracelets that symbolize the god of elements, Elemonte, and inside are engraved the eyes of insight that symbolize the god of magic, Makkiko.

Putting the silver badge in his hand on Andy's chest, Ron patted Andy on the shoulder and said "Congratulations".

Andy quickly bowed to thank him, a little flattered.

He didn't expect His Royal Highness Ron to personally award and wear the badge to him.

Under normal circumstances, nobles would only do this to subordinates who have made great contributions.

But Andy always felt that he didn't make any contribution at all, but got too much from the Magic War Hall.

Ron didn't think there was anything to it, it was nothing more than an inspiring set.

And Andy didn't know it himself, but Ron knew it.

The group arena every night attracted a lot of traffic to the Magic War Hall.

These are the things that matter most to Ron.

After receiving a certificate of honor from Nora, Ron handed it into Andy's arms.

"This is the certificate of honor that can only be obtained by the first silver player. It symbolizes the birth of the first silver player, and also represents your achievements in fighting magic."

Ron encouraged: "After this, the rank competition of the Magic War Hall will open a higher floor. I hope you will always be the one who runs at the front."

Feeling the fiery gazes from all around, and hearing what Ron said, Andy was so motivated that he couldn't help himself, and just nodded violently:

"Thank you, Your Highness Ron, I will always work hard!"

Ron smiled and patted him on the shoulder again, motioning for Andy to come with him: "Let the staff prepare the other rewards for you when you leave. Let's go upstairs and have a look now."

"Okay." Andy quickly followed.

People around looked enviously at Andy climbing up the stairs and heading to the Baiyin area on the third floor.

After the figures of the two people disappeared at the end of the stairs, the atmosphere on the first floor increased rather than decreased, becoming more and more enthusiastic.

Even the players who had already given up on tonight's promotion have joined the battle in the promotion zone again.

Although the No.1 rewards are gone now, there are still No.2 and No.3 until they are promoted within seven days, and there are corresponding generous rewards.

Stimulated by the ceremony of awarding the badge just now, everyone's emotions were fully mobilized again.

Anyway, after the number of defeats and the number of wins are equal, the number of defeats will not increase.

Rookies who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and it is not impossible to play the rank competition as an entertainment competition.

Anyway, in the promotion area, everyone's opponent must be confirmed by the staff, and there will be no rookie desperately giving someone a head.

"His Royal Highness Ron."

"kindness?"

Ron and Andy were walking on the stairs, and Andy boldly asked:

"Is Fighting Magic going to hold a competitive competition? It's the 'Magic Cup' mentioned in the achievement challenge."

"Did you find out?" Ron smiled. "If there are no accidents, the competition will probably officially start in early April, and it's still early."

Andy had already expected this time. After all, the time required for the achievement challenge was only three weeks and 21 days, and the competition must be later than this time.

But when he heard that the competition would start in early April, Andy also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he was going to Doyle Junior College in May, so he definitely didn't have time during the day.

And it is certainly impossible for every magic match to be held at night.

It would be great if the competition could be finished in April.

Starting in early April, one month is always enough, right?

It has only been more than a month since the spring martial arts performance.

There are two staircases in the hall on the first floor.

The stairs on the right lead to the second floor, and if you go up, you will come directly to the fourth floor, not the third floor.

Ron took Andy up the stairs on the left, which didn't lead to the second and fourth floors. After climbing up, he went directly to the third floor, and then went straight to the fifth floor.

All floors are accessible only by staff-only stairs deep in the lobby on the first floor.

This is also designed to avoid conflicts between nobles and civilians as much as possible.

The two came to the third floor, and Andy followed Ron into the lobby on the third floor, and suddenly felt a bright light in front of his eyes.

Compared with the first floor, the area of ​​the third floor is actually slightly smaller, but it gives Andy a more spacious illusion.

Unlike the crowded battle area on the first floor, the battle tables and chairs on the third floor are all designed according to the model of a battle table.

There is a barrier on each side of the table in a quarter, blocking the sight of both sides.

The cards in the hand can be spread out directly behind the barrier, so you don't have to worry about the opponent seeing your cards.

On the right hand side there is a card slot dedicated to placing elemental cards. After being stuck, people can comfortably draw cards from the top of the deck without worrying about messing up the deck.

The tables and chairs of each battle platform are about 1.5 meters apart, and the middle is very spacious, allowing several people to pass side by side.

In the deepest part of the hall, there are also three large arenas placed on the stage like the first floor, which are used to hold group arenas.

The counter on the side can provide drinks and desserts at any time, and there are various products waiting to be purchased.

The staff lady behind the counter in a lavender dress saluted and said hello to the two of them.

Ron smiled and nodded, and Andy returned the salute seriously.

"You can wander around as you like. If you have any questions, you can ask her. If you can't solve them, just ask me." Ron ordered a glass of juice and sat down at a table to rest.

Andy came to the counter, and under the gesture of the staff, he saw the announcement posted on the counter——

Silver rank drop rules (first version):

"First of all, congratulations on your successful promotion to the silver rank!"

"But you have to be clear that being a silver player doesn't mean you will be safe."

"After being promoted to silver, you have to play at least ten best-of-five matchups per week."

"We will calculate your match results based on the number of games won, winning percentage, the number of games won in each game, and even the number of cards played each time, to obtain a comprehensive score, which will be converted into your rank points for the week."

"The points of this rank are settled every Monday morning. If your point rank is in the bottom 10% of the total silver people, the battle hall will temporarily cancel your silver badge."

"After the silver badge is cancelled, players will temporarily be unable to enter the silver area on the third floor. They must complete the promotion in the promotion area on the first floor before they can get the silver badge back."

Andy nodded secretly after reading the announcement.

Because there were already speculations before, Andy was not surprised or surprised after seeing this "segment drop mechanism".

If the strength of everyone in the bronze area on the first floor is divided into five grades, the group with the strongest strength is the first grade.

Then, when a person in the first tier is successfully promoted to the silver rank, for the second tier, the difficulty of advancing to the silver rank will drop sharply.

By analogy, once the people in the second tier are also promoted to the silver rank, then the people in the third tier will instantly become the most powerful group of people in the bronze zone.

If there is only promotion but no decline, then the number of people in the silver area on the third floor will only increase but not decrease.

This lack of circulation is not healthy.

That's why there is a drop mechanism.

Every week, some people who are not so strong at the end of the silver tier are eliminated, and let them compete with the strongest group of people in the bronze zone.

Because everyone's strength is fluid.

It is possible that the people who were still in the second tier at the beginning did not want to make progress after entering the silver zone, and their strength gradually declined, while the people in the bronze zone were originally in the third tier, because they worked hard every day, their strength was already comparable to that of the second tier.

Then, after this pseudo second-tier silver is eliminated and returned to the bronze zone, he will be beaten up by the real second-tier rookie.

At the same time, the pseudo-second rank can prevent those who still only have the third rank from being promoted to silver, ensuring the overall strength level of the silver rank.

Only by circulating in this way can the flow of fresh blood be realized.

However, what is the competition system mentioned here?

With this doubt, Andy looked at the introduction announcement about the competition next to him——

Competition rules (first version):

"The duel will be played between players in the silver zone on the third floor and the silver zone on the fourth floor."

Just the first sentence frightened Andy, who was originally calm.

The silver area on the fourth floor is where the nobles stay!

Let commoners and nobles fight?

This……

Andy was a little apprehensive, feeling a little out of place.

But with the idea of ​​trusting His Royal Highness Ron, Andy still planned to read the announcement first.

"Players in the silver area on the third floor can enter the duel area on the fourth floor from the confrontation corridor on the left side of the lobby, randomly select a duel room, and enter for a duel match."

"The two sides of the competition are sound-proofed from each other throughout the whole process, and the identity of the other party cannot be seen. All processes are controlled by the croupier."

"The croupier itself has no way of knowing who the players on both sides are."

"For the specific situation of the competition location, please go and check it yourself."

"The competition system is based on the best-of-five rounds system. The first to win three rounds is the winner. The number of rounds won, the number of cards played, etc. will be used as weighted calculation items for points. The specific calculation rules will not be disclosed for the time being."

"Every silver player must unconditionally complete ten rounds of competition every week, otherwise he will be unconditionally dropped next week."

"If there is an urgent matter that week, you can explain to the employees in advance, temporarily freeze all silver permissions, and restore them when you are free."

"I wish you all a good time."

"above."

After reading all the explanations, Andy was slightly relieved, but he still had some doubts about the duel venue of the match.

So he came to Ron and asked, "His Royal Highness Ron, can I go to the competition venue?"

"Of course." Ron nodded, and simply got up and led him there.

The two walked to a silver-painted door on the left side of the hall, opened the door and entered.

The entrance is a staircase, turning in the middle of the half floor, from the third floor to the fourth floor.

Andy followed Ron carefully all the way, and finally entered a door on the fourth floor.

It was not as spacious as he had imagined. After entering the door, Andy found that he was standing in the middle of a horizontal corridor.

The side near the gate is the wall, and the side facing Andy is the door of a row of rooms.

There are a total of more than ten normal-sized doors, and beside the door, there is also a side door that can only accommodate one person.

This structure is very strange, and Andy has never seen it before.

"Come with me." Ron walked to a room, opened the door and beckoned Andy to come in.

Andy walked in and found that there was only one chair in the room, and... a table?

No, it should be said that it is only half a table.

And maybe a little less.

In a simple room, as soon as you walk in, there are chairs, and in front of you is a table and a partition that separates the table on the other side—this partition is much higher than the normal battle table partition.

So as soon as the two walked in, it seemed a little crowded.

Ron motioned Andy to sit on the chair, then pressed his shoulder and introduced:

"This area is actually similar to the battle platform downstairs. It also allows you to let go of cards. There are also card slots for fixed element cards next to it, and there are also holes on the partition where you can hand out cards."

"When playing cards, you just need to hand out the cards through this hole, and the croupier will check in the middle."

"And then this."

Ron reached out to the upper end of the partition and pointed it out to Andy: "This part can be lifted from the inside, and only the croupier can lift it."

"After the dealer lifts it up, he will show you the opponent's cards from here."

"This height can be adjusted. In short, it will never let you and your opponent see each other's appearance."

After the introduction, Andy nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood.

So Ron led him out of the room again, and entered through the side door that could only accommodate one person.

The passage of the side door leads to the middle of the partition between the two players.

If you take a sectional view, it can probably be seen as a capital "H", but there are two partitions in the middle.

Two players stay in their respective rooms, the dealer sits between two partitions, and a table is divided into three sections.

The three people don't know who the other is, which is blind typing in the true sense.

Similar to Ron's original world online battle on the Internet.

The dealer is equivalent to the game system, and the opponent is equivalent to the netizen. Neither of them can be seen or touched, but they can form a duel with you.

In order to achieve this effect, Ron also took great pains.

One thing to say, what he is doing now is undoubtedly somewhat subversive.

Because he is trying to let nobles and commoners play a game together.

This is completely different from what it was before.

Because the first floor and the second floor were completely two worlds before.

Although both parties are also playing Magic Fighting, they actually do not interfere with each other and are not on the same channel at all.

But right now, Ron was pitting them against each other.

Although in the form of touch typing.

This can be regarded as planning for future events.

First of all, the magic battle hall will definitely open the gold rank in the future.

At that time, commoners and nobles will be on the same floor.

If the two sides try to fight magic at this time, various problems are likely to arise.

Secondly, Ron is going to organize the competition next.

In magic fighting competitions, contestants must include both nobles and commoners.

In fact, so far, apart from competitions related to fighters and magicians such as the spring martial arts performance, there has never been any other competition in the Human Race Empire that allows nobles and commoners to compete on the same stage.

Ron's magic fight will be the first.

So he had to let both parties have an adaptation period in advance.

In short quite troublesome.

Whenever this time, Ron would sigh, if only the Internet could be available in another world.

Everyone is online anonymously, so there will be no such troubles at all.

But he is not a computer student, so he doesn't understand the principle at all.

And even if they understand it, whether the rules of the other world can be used in common with the computers in the original world is still a problem.

So he simply stopped daydreaming, and it was better to solve the current problem honestly.

"Is there any problem now?" Ron took Andy back to the third floor and asked.

Andy shook his head: "No problem, thank you, Your Highness Ron."

So Ron waved his hand and said goodbye, and continued to go downstairs to watch the situation of the Duan competition.

Andy stayed on the third floor, intending to study the achievement challenges in the Silver District, and then look at the newly obtained elemental cards, thinking about new routines and tactics.
