Peak glory

Since the International E-Sports Association announced the new competition system, "Mecha God of War" has undergone an upgrade, adding a team competition practice sub-item to the career mode.

In this mode, five mechs form a team, and the game is played in a free melee mode. The game ends when all the mechas of one party are unable to control.

In addition, the new competition system also adds a time-limited rule.

In the previous 1V1 competition system, there was no time limit for the game. Now the new competition system stipulates that each game lasts for 10 minutes. The number of remaining mechas determines the outcome, and it is a tie when the number is the same.

"A draw..." Shi Xue was very dissatisfied with this rule when she first learned about the competition system, and she still disdains this rule now: "When did "Mecha God of War" become such a gentle competition?"

A large part of the reason why the "Mecha God of War" game is fascinating is the intensity of the game. The players' dedication to victory and pursuit of strength makes people excited. It is really disappointing to come up with a rule that allows draws.

Rainstorm comforted Shixue by the side: "Maybe the rules will be improved in the future. After all, this is only the first session, and everything is still being explored."

When the two were talking, they had already walked to the cabin training hall and found that the cabin training hall was undergoing renovation. Several training rooms that were originally all single rooms had been opened up and expanded into a large training room.

Wei Laiyin who followed behind said: "For the practice of the team competition, the club must also make corresponding changes."

The two nodded, and went into the training room where no changes were being made.

Log in to the game, select a team, and wait for your teammates to go online. After all five groups of players arrive, click Enter, and all five groups of players will enter the map together.

After the upgrade of "Mecha God of War", players have tried to log in to the new mode. Except for the option of team selection on the login interface, there is no difference from the 1V1 side, but the map is quite different.

Before entering, a prompt will pop up to inform players of the rules of the new map.

The map used in the team competition has increased the size of the field. The field is surrounded by invisible barriers. Once the mecha hits it, it will cause punishment, and the punishment content is different.

Seeing this rule, Shi Xue said with a smile: "Is this to prevent people from escaping during the game?"

Rainstorm, who was also looking at the rules, took up the conversation: "There are so many people and there is a time limit, maybe someone will really use this kind of indiscriminate tactics."

Shi Xue was noncommittal.

This time it was just a trial run, and the candidates of the two teams were not too detailed, and they entered the practice field with a random score of five groups.

After entering, it was also a familiar countdown. After the countdown ended, the map became clear, and other mechas appeared around. It was a novel feeling to have such mechas in the arena.

After a brief look at each other, everyone started to fight, playing around and hitting each other.

Aurora shuttled between his teammates and opponents. Shi Xue caught a man and beat him violently. After the beating, he didn't let Rainstorm fire. With a hint of curiosity, he dragged him to the boundary and threw him out.

The mecha that hit the boundary line was shocked by electricity and immediately lost its maneuverability.

"Wow……"

Seeing this scene, the others were amazed, is the punishment for 'deserter' so severe?This boundary line is a weapon.

After playing around and trying their hands, everyone came out of the cabin for a meeting.

The person who was beaten by Shi Xue until he was powerless to fight back, and finally became an experimental subject saw Shi Xue, and wailed: "Sister Xue! I won't take you to bully people like this!"

Shi Xue laughed teasingly: "Your teammates are too ruthless, and they didn't even come to rescue you just watching."

The man was incited to blame his teammates again.

Enough frolicking, a group of people gathered around the corridor outside the training room and divided into teams in a serious manner, each having a tactical discussion before the next round of practice.

"Your defense is strong, and you are in charge of defense." Rainstorm selected two groups of team members, assigned the task of defense, and assigned another group of players to be responsible for observation, providing protection and assistance for the other two groups of teammates who were responsible for attacking.

After briefly explaining the tactics and division of labor, everyone returned to the simulation cabin and entered the second round of practice.

Although there is a division of labor, it is not easy to keep one's own responsibilities in mind and put them into action during the game.

Aurora, which possesses super firepower, is naturally in charge of attacking. When Shi Xue saw someone on the opposite side, she chased them directly, and then heard her teammates yelling: "Sister Xue! Come back!"

When her teammates were shouting, Shixue had already caught the target, and after pulling away, she gave Rainstorm an opportunity to attack. The moment she pulled away, she realized that she seemed to have rushed into the enemy's position, so she knocked out the enemy's position in Aurora. At the same time, he was killed by enemy comrades in arms.

Facing the warning red light that suddenly lit up in front of the team, Shixue and Yuyu didn't recover for a long time, until the helpless voice of teammates sounded in their ears: "Sister Xue, slow down your pace, turn around and look at us, see you Being bombarded, our hearts are like a knife."

Shi Xue: "...Sorry."

Another teammate's voice was full of grief: "I'm sorry, Sister Xue, it's because we are useless, we are the ones who lagged behind."

A group of playwrights were heartbroken one sentence after another in the headset.

Shi Xue only felt that the veins on her forehead were throbbing.

1V1 only tests the tacit understanding between HAs, while the 5V5 team match tests the team's tacit understanding. In addition to protecting yourself, you must also cooperate with your teammates. There are countless things to pay attention to. It is really a combat method that cannot be used to in a short period of time.

After several times of practice, someone expressed emotion: "I knew that I should team up with more people to fight monsters. Ordinary players may know how to cooperate better than us."

Everyone agreed.In the past, professional players refused to team up with others to fight monsters out of professional pride, but now they would be severely beaten in the face.

The first day's practice ended in the feeling of being tortured because of the lack of teamwork. Rainstorm and Shixue had just finished changing their clothes and were about to leave work, but were stopped by Wei Laiyin.

"You guys do a fit test before leaving, the association is urging you to hand it over."

The fitness value is not a data that must be disclosed, but an unwritten rule. Especially for the popular HA, people will keep asking if it is not disclosed, so there is no need to hide it.

Rainstorm and Shixue looked at each other, excited and anticipating but also somewhat inexplicably apprehensive.

Shixue has partnered with several people, and each of them has only reached the passing line, let alone the heavy rain. With only one H, the fitness value cannot be counted in the high category.Neither of them thought that they could really meet a partner above the blue line.

He awkwardly followed Wei Laiyin to the testing hall, followed by a group of gossip-watchers, which made the two of them even more nervous.

Shi Xue found a topic to cover up her nervousness, and told Wei Laiyin about returning to Eternal Sky: "Mr. Wei, the Club Cup is over, and Mr. Jiang is urging me to go back."

Because of practice, Shi Xue forgot about receiving Jiang Su's message in the morning, and only remembered it now when she saw Wei Laiyin.

Originally, she randomly found a topic to relieve her nervousness, but Shi Xue didn't know that when she said this, Rainstorm temporarily forgot about her nervousness, and most of her thoughts were taken up by the feeling of loss.

I say I don't care, but I still hope to spend more time together. It's one thing to practice together, but the clubs we belong to are different. After all, there will be many times when we have to be apart.

"If you want me to tell you, don't go back." Wei Lain was even more reluctant to let him go than the rainstorm, so he teased on purpose.

Of course Shi Xue didn't accept her teasing: "You go tell Mr. Jiang about this."

How dare Wei Laiyin, Jiang Su Dadu didn't bother with her about teasing Shixue, no matter how hard she made progress, Jiang Su still didn't tear her up.

While talking, she had already arrived at the testing hall, looking at the familiar machine, Shi Xue was a little scared for the first time because of anticipation.

There is a seat with a testing helmet on each side of the test machine, which is actually similar to the helmet in the simulation cabin, but the game system is separated into two channels to intercept the data of two people.

When she got into the machine, Rainstorm was in extremely complicated mood. She never expected that she could use the machine again, and Shixue was sitting in the other capsule.

The test system of the fitness value is based on the same principle as the defense system of the mech. It only intercepts the brain wave signal frequency of two people. The closer the frequency is, the greater the value will be generated.

In the game, the value of this frequency directly determines the level of defense. When it reaches a certain value, the defense screen of the mecha will flash a light blue light. The higher the value, the stronger the blue color of the defense screen, so everyone put The adaptation value that can make the defense screen flash blue light is called over-blue line.

In mecha combat, firepower, control and defense are three different systems, and defense is the only system that has nothing to do with the strength of the mind, but is only determined by the fitness value.In the international arena, even HA with insufficient firepower can make the opponent helpless with its super strong defense.

Following the guidance of the system, Rainstorm and Shixue completed a series of tests. After a beep, the helmets were lifted up, and the test was over, and the words 'data generation' appeared on the screen of the machine.

Rainstorm and Shixue stood up, looking at the screen nervously, waiting for their values.

The room was full of onlookers, all watching eagerly, their gazes were more eager than those involved, and they almost burned a hole in the screen.

Soon, the test results popped up on the screen.

The total score of 72 points, the value of heavy rain and occasional snow is... [-] points.

72 points, a normal number among the scores above the blue line.

The room fell into silence. After a while, someone couldn't help but vomit: "There are no surprises."

Rainstorm turned around and glared at him: "I already know it's light blue, what surprise do you expect?"

She said so on the lips, but she was disappointed in the rainstorm that she had expected in her heart, but she felt satisfied after the disappointment. Even if she couldn't pass the blue line, she didn't care. Her H was Shixue, so what else could she be dissatisfied with?

When she looked back, the rainstorm met Shixue's gaze, and Shixue smiled at her, with a hint of regret in that smile: "It's a bit low."
