Arcane Lord

The next day, the first event of the snow melting competition officially began.

Arcane Puzzle was originally a chess game played in Shado's hometown. Later, he added some magic duel elements and recommended it to her teacher Princess Shia through Niya, who was the chief talker of the Seven Towers at the time.

Since then, every snowmelting competition has included the Arcane Puzzle project, which is why this project has been widely spread in the North.

Over the past few years, many outstanding chess players have emerged among the elves.

Today, Shado and Niya came to Severton to watch the competition. Naturally, they would not miss this new project brought by Shado. Similarly, like yesterday, most of the contestants in Netheril today were from Gustav High School. tower.

In other words, having elven blood!

This is actually a continuation of yesterday's silent protest. Not only yesterday, but also today, according to the pre-discussed agreement of the council, in every game thereafter, people with elven blood will be given priority as much as possible.

For this reason, even if you lose some games, you won’t hesitate!

In the audience, Shado and Niya were chatting and watching the game. The two sides currently fighting on the field were from Netheril and Erlan. What a clever combination.

"Which one of them do you think can win?" Niya asked.

…

In this way, the smallest strength of the main network has been exposed. Even if it was lucky enough to survive the difficulty that time, in the future, as the number of mages in various countries accessing the computing power pool and dividing the network becomes smaller and smaller, the main network’s weak point may be unavoidable. It must be deliberately manipulated by us.

There are two main advantages of the venue. One is that there are few spectators and the atmosphere is sufficient, and the other is that you can watch whatever you want.

…

That situation was not what Mr. Xia wanted to see.

It is certain that if the future public computing power pool really evolves into that situation, the so-called "mainnet" will be completely reduced to a dispensable decoration. Countries can use it if they need it. If it is necessary, it will be completely ignored.

Just before cheering, you still don't think about the other party's identity as a mixed-race human, so an inexplicable thought will continue to breed and ferment among the elves until it can no longer be hidden, and the worldly prejudices will be completely shattered.

Some elves Shicheng went to watch it live, some hated watching the broadcast, and even checked more detailed relevant records beforehand, but in any case, it caused the local mage of Evereska to have a negative attitude towards the computing power pool Lingsi Network. Supports slight reduction.

For example, when Everesca is inactive, the number of accessors increases, and the load capacity decreases, countries instead increase the number of accessors in their own countries to impact the load on the main network.

The chess pieces in the arcane puzzle have a very small first attack advantage when killing each other. At the same level of spell duel, the first mover will often win, but the one who is killed is completely unable to resist.

The mainnet load has not yet reached a very safe state, and it may be fully supported at any time!

But as I said, the arcane puzzle is essentially a spell duel with chess pieces inside. It is certain that one party does not have absolutely overwhelming experience and skills in spell duel, and even if it fully understands the rules of chess, it may not be able to win.

Although it is possible to see deeper information during the game during the broadcast, considering the efficiency of real-time broadcasting, the viewing angle is relatively limited. There is no way for the audience to watch whatever they want. What the audience can see depends entirely on the perspective of the broadcaster.

It is also impossible to use various techniques to manipulate the chess pieces to retreat and counterattack. If the counterattack is successful, the opponent's operation will be effective, but the idea of ​​​​the chess game will be exposed.

In this way, Lingsi Network Center can compromise on certain issues, such as increasing the dividend ratio of each country.

In Everesca, while the main body is leisurely watching the game, the avatar can rest. Affected by the Qin Xin Competition, the number of mages connected to the computing power pool has dropped off a cliff at this time.

But that problem is also a headache for Mr. Xia. It is obviously not my responsibility as an operator to shut down the computing power pool. Instead, resources will be borrowed from other countries to temporarily temporarily connect users who were originally only in the sub-networks of various countries. Moved to the mainnet.

There are very few games, and even from Young Master Xia's perspective, they are very pleasing to the eye.

On the eighth day of the Snow Melting Competition, in the small gateway control hall of the Lingsi Network Research Center at the alliance headquarters, a group of mages who had been left to work overtime fell into a state of confusion.

In the following games, Mr. Xia missed almost every one, but I had too few things to be busy with. The main body seemed to be rushing to catch up, between the territory, the Tower of Time, and Seventon. Back and forth.

But in any case, the chess power still has a very weak bonus for winning duels, so it is better to cancel that item and directly play magic duels to avoid damage.

Of course, the main body stayed in Severnton to watch the competition with Niya for a small part of the time. The standards of Qin Xin's competition were high, and the level of the players was of course increasing year by year almost visibly to the naked eye.

There is no snow melting competition in Severton, and there is no motorcycle design competition or internal arcane competition in the Territory and the Tower of Time. It is inevitable that Young Master Xia will talk about prospects and encouragement in front of the Territory residents and Tower of Time members. if.

Xia Duo is not biased just because the players on the field are humans. In terms of pure chess prowess, the elves are indeed better. Even if Xia Shao himself is assisted by the brain~www.readwn.com~, it makes no difference. like.

Although it was only a single game, it still won unanimous cheers and congratulations from the audience. At that moment, I was a mixed-race human with a sensitive identity in the elf world, but a puzzle player who surpassed the elves with perseverance and wisdom.

This is the charm of competition. It allows people to freely ignore the player's identity, gender, appearance, race and other internal factors, and only appreciate the player's competitive level.

Very slowly, a critical turning point appeared in the off-court game. The elf player exposed his chess game ideas before struggling to capture the pieces a few times. In the end, the human player seized the opportunity to complete the fatal move and won the world success.

"From the perspective of chess power alone, the elves are slightly better, but the arcane puzzle is not just chess, it also involves spell duels. In this regard, humans have a slight upper hand, and the final result is really hard to say."

"Consultant Xia, what should we do now? Temporarily shut down the computing power pool? Or find a way to borrow resources from other countries?" Master Bu asked.

The reason is that most of the people who have access to the main network are local mages from Everska, but now the local mages are busy watching the game. Those elves even need to go to Severton and go directly to Everska. Ska will be able to see the live broadcast.

There are no problems with the sub-networks in these countries that have not been offline yet, but there is a small trouble on the main network -

Shicheng performed well and won the game, which even the most demanding audience was reluctant to give him the coldest cheers.

Compared with live viewers who can only rely on their own perception to obtain game information, the broadcast cannot directly see the deeper information obtained by lower-level spellcasters through specialized detection spells.

That would immediately solve the problem of sufficient number of mainnet users, but—
