Start cheating from The King's Avatar

Friday night, 7:50.

In the arena room dedicated to the challenge match, the characters from both Happy and Wuji sat down in the preparation seats.

The game starts at 8 o'clock, but the players need to "arrive" before 55 minutes. The system will arrange for both sides to decide the home and away teams by tossing a coin, and then the home team will choose the maps to be used in each stage of the day within a limited time. Ordinary players may be in a hurry in the limited one-minute map selection link, but professional teams like Wuji Team or Xingxin Team will decide on the map selection in advance and can confirm it directly during the map selection link.

The order of players' appearance is also determined in this phase, and the system will automatically arrange the characters to enter the field in the order of the list in each round. As for the order of opponents' appearance, just like in regular competitions, neither party will know it in advance, which is the meaning of the game.

With Su Lan around, Xingxin naturally got off to a disadvantageous start in an away game.

Wuji quickly selected the map and locked in the roster for the battle.

The time soon came to eight o'clock. At this time, a large number of spectators had already "taken their seats" in the room. Most of them were talking trash to the Happy Team, making it seem that the fans who were really cheering for the Wuji Team had a very low presence.

In fact, the players cannot see the information in the room channel, and the private chat function of their characters is temporarily disabled. This is the most basic way to avoid online cheating.

Considering that this is an online competition, players may use other devices to peek at the screen offline. The league stipulates that all players need to turn on multi-angle cameras, which can show their hands and faces while slightly avoiding any possibility of cheating.

Of course, there will be no human referees in online competitions, only the human-computer system will help do the most basic score calculation to determine the winner. The perspective of the camera after turning on will not appear in the room, their role is to save as a video, if any party believes that the opponent is cheating, they can appeal to the competition officials to check these videos.

This manual inspection method is of course very troublesome, so few people will actually file a complaint.

In fact, even if any cheater is let off, it is still easy to spot the clues during the offline competition, and the authorities will then settle the score.

However, this situation has never occurred in previous challenge competitions, and there is no definite answer as to whether this anti-cheating method is really effective.

There was constant trash talk in the room channel, most of which were extremely harsh personal attacks. Some fans of the Wuji team were confused when they saw the words directed at their opponents. What kind of deep hatred was this?

In such a chaotic situation, the system captured the first player sent by both teams in the individual competition and entered the map selected by Wuji.

Riverside water corridor.

Happy: Rogues, the buns are invading.

Wuji: Gunner, Xiaoqiang.

"Be careful of the waters in this map. They and the Nile Springs we fought in the past few days are both special terrains." Su Lan reminded.

"Water fight!" Baozi shouted.

What he is worst at is water battles, even though he has been training for the past few days.

For novices, water battles require too much control over character movement, and there are not many players in the professional circle who can fight water battles skillfully.

"Try not to go into the water. This map is half land and half water." Ye Xiu also knew that Baozi's water combat ability had not yet been fully developed.

"Got it!" Baozi was the first to go into battle, but he didn't look nervous at all.

He probably doesn't know what pressure is.

Baozi was facing a map he was not good at and the pressure of being the first to fight, but he could still laugh. However, Wu Chen, who was operating Xiaoqiang on Wuji's side, did not dare to laugh at all.

While Xingxin was constantly studying their videos, they also found a video online of Xingxin accepting a door-to-door challenge. After an afternoon of research, they found that this Baozi Invasion was the most difficult character to figure out.

First appearance? It seems that this bun invasion is really something!

Wu Chen and his teammates all thought so.

The previous captain of the Wuji Team was the operator of the core character of the team, the Magic Swordsman Sedinkun, who left the team after losing the challenge last season. Although Wu Chen's Gunner was not a core character, he replaced him as captain.

The Wuji team sent him to fight first, hoping to make a good start and give Xingxin a warning.

With this mentality, they will naturally think that the first player sent by the opponent will be the most capable.

The pre-match psychological game ends here for now, the map has been loaded.

The characters of both sides were refreshed at the two corners of the map, but they were not far apart. Baozi Invasion directly ran towards the center of the map, waving his new orange weapon Star Claw, and because there was no commanding height on this map, Wu Chen's Xiaoqiang also ran towards him with a heavy artillery.

While rapidly approaching his opponent, Wu Chen was also paying attention to Baozi's invading steps.

Waiting for a suitable opportunity, Xiao Qiang suddenly stopped, put his feet one in front of the other and leaned back, and used his own strength to hold the heavy artillery high up, with the muzzle naturally aimed at Baozi's invading feet.

Boom boom boom!

The anti-tank guns were lined up in a row, with the air waves behind them falling towards the place where Baozi would step on in the next second.

Baozi Invasion picked up a brick from somewhere and threw it as the character turned around. It collided with one of the missiles and blew it up.

This was just a simple greeting gift. Xiaoqiang's subsequent artillery fire came very quickly, and they had already predicted the position where Baozi would invade and dodge.

Faced with the missiles that were so close, Baozi Invasion still focused on dodging, and rolled from the corridor entrance into the pavilion in the water.

The shell missed the target and fell into the water, causing quite a splash.

Xiaoqiang continued to complete the operation of following the gun, or following the artillery, but the planned landing point of the artillery shell was a little in front of Baozi Invasion, leaving time for the artillery shell to fly and fall.

Seeing the opponent walking into his shooting range, Xiao Qiang raised his hand and fired a cannon, but Baozi Invasion suddenly changed direction and avoided it, rushing into another corridor.

Predicting and being predicted are very common things. Xiaoqiang still used artillery fire to compress the offensive route of Baozi's invasion.

But every time, Baozi's invasion managed to evade his prediction.

This is not normal.

"He's lost!" Everyone except Baozi gathered together to watch the fight, and Su Lan whispered in a low voice.

Unlike some water corridors that may be huge in scale, the Linjiang Water Corridor has a central pavilion with multiple corridors extending outside it. No matter how complicated it is, it would not be possible to get lost. How could Baozi get lost?

In fact, going to the central pavilion through the corridor is just one route, and it is even a long way. It is faster to take the water route.

"He's avoiding going into the water..." Ye Xiu knew that Baozi was strictly following the advice he had given.

"But even if he goes into the water, it will be difficult for him to get ashore." Su Lan comforted.

The other players of the Wuji team are actually no longer the same ones who were there when the team was still in the league. In fact, only Wu Chen has experience in major competitions, and the strength he has shown at this time is indeed qualified for the position of captain.

After a few rounds of fighting, Wu Chen discovered that his opponent was lost. He also guessed that his opponent might be unfamiliar with water battles and was trying to avoid falling into the water. So he changed his offensive strategy and the focus of his firepower became a layout to force Baozi's invasion into the water.

It is said that a dog will jump over the wall when it is forced into a corner, and a steamed bun will bite people when it is forced into a corner. Ye Xiu said to try not to take the water route, but now there is obviously no way out, so Steamed Bun Invasion simply dives into the water to do it once and for all.

Seeing this, Wu Chen thought the tactic was successful, so he used the flying cannon to hang on the top of the pavilion, ready to sweep away the invading Baozi who fell into the water.

But the water surface was surprisingly calm.

What about people?

In Glory, characters need to breathe from time to time when they fall into the water. An experienced player can do it silently, but a novice must produce bubbles to breathe. Not to mention breathing, even walking in the water will cause waves without noticing.

At the moment, the invasion of the steamed buns did not cause any commotion, and the water surface was as calm as a mirror.

Just as Wu Chen was about to fire a few shots to break the deadlock, ripples and bubbles appeared on the water surface.

The water surface returned to calm soon after and then splashes appeared somewhere else.

Still fighting back with artillery fire.

After trying several times, there was still no sign of Baozi invading. Wu Chen began to doubt his previous judgment. Could this Baozi intruder really be a master? Could these occasional noises be deliberately created to confuse me?

However, Wu Chen did not plan to jump into the water and catch people directly, as that would make it easy for him to fall into the trap set by his opponent. At this moment, I have the advantage, and I just need to be careful to guard against possible sneak attacks from Baozi's invasion.

So the situation remained that the invasion of Baozi would cause ripples from time to time, and Xiaoqiang's artillery shells would follow.

This situation continued until Baozi Invasion's health was reduced to zero.

It turns out that this was not intentional, it was just the buns invading unfamiliar waters!

"I can't find the way in the water." After the first round, Baozi took off his headphones and explained to Xingxin and the others.
