For Love of the Game

Everyone went back to the lounge to rest. On the way, they saw a few leaders wearing work ID cards anxiously calling on the phone. Hai Xing turned around curiously, "What happened?"

Zhou Ning pressed his little head, "Don't be curious."

At [-]:[-] p.m., the opening ceremony of the national finals of "City of Despair" officially began. After the host gave the opening speech, the first program was Guan He and Hu Nana's solo warm-up.

Both of them are top masters, there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors in the ring, and the stalemate in the battle makes people excited.

Hu Nana performed very well this time, and obviously made a lot of preparations for the opening warm-up. She has a good grasp of the arc range of the swordsman's skill CD release, and she is handy in using the Five Elements Vitality Bullet.

It's a pity that Guan He's fast-break attack method, World Civilization, started with drawing his sword out of its sheath. Several sets of consecutive moves pushed Hu Nana's blood volume below 10%. In the second half, he turned the tide and won the first place in the national finals win!

The two came out of the soundproof room and bowed to the audience. There was thunderous applause from the audience. Hai Xing was the one who drummed the most vigorously. His face was full of joy and he thought it was the New Year.

Afterwards, the host introduced the three field commentators of the national finals—Yao Jun, Niu Niu and Ju Zi.

Next is the real talent show, where there are cosers of various professions on the catwalk, among which Jia Yunge cosplays his profession Holy Light, a floor-length white robe, and a light golden scepter, perfectly showing the professional priesthood of Holy Light image.

Jia Yunge's fans screamed excitedly, and everyone in Fengyue borrowed a WG support card.

Later, there will be on-site dubbing by voice actors of various professions, on-site lottery, and a review of the highlights of the group stage.

When the seven assassin clones swarmed up to kill the qigong master on the big screen, and Shen Huai's cold and handsome face flashed below, the fans on the field almost shouted.

The atmosphere at the scene is getting hotter and hotter, but the mysterious guest announced by the official in advance has not appeared for a long time, and the players who will participate in the next team competition have been called away.

Zhou Jing asked, "Isn't the mysterious guest still on stage?"

Shi Yi didn't know, "Maybe you want to wait until after the team competition?"

While the contestants were preparing, the host drew the last round of prizes and announced the rules of the team competition.

The team competition is based on two people. When you are born, everyone's occupation is a random enemy's occupation. After killing an enemy, they will be forced to replace them with the enemy's occupation. The person who finally kills all members of the other team wins.

In this mode, all professions have the same appearance. If you don't use skills, you can't tell the opponent's profession just from the appearance.

The audience found it very interesting when they heard it. If you don’t know the enemy’s class and attack rashly, you are likely to get a class that you are not good at!

After listening to the rules, Hai Xing called it a pity, "Oh, it wasn't the competition committee's rule to let the captain and deputy captain play, we should let Xiao Ming play!"

Fan Jingming can play all 24 branches of the eight major professions, and he is not afraid of killing anyone.

Shen Huai is also very interested in this rule, and really wants to try it out, but unfortunately, no matter how famous he is in the national competition, he is only a rookie, and he has no chance to play at all.

He was about to take a good look at the phone when it rang, and he followed the back door to the corridor, "Brother?"

Shi Cen's voice came from the microphone, "Junior Brother, I need your help with something..."

The competition in the venue has already started, it should be intentional by the organizer, and no one is randomized to their own profession.

Song Xueyang randomly got Jia Yunge's poison-type holy light, Zhou Ning was an ice-type mage, Zhang Jiayan was a qigong master, Chenxi's captain Tao Lele was an assassin, and Guan He was a fire mage.

But Si Qianjin felt that no one was more miserable than himself. Looking at the sniper in his hand, his neck felt a chill.

Grandma's, this year you're on the fence with Song Xueyang, right?

Hai Xing burst into laughter, because from God's perspective, Si Qianjin is more than a random career misfortune?What's more unlucky is that his professional fire method is in the hands of Guan He!

Hai Xing decided to observe a 3-minute silence for Si Qianjin this time.

Niu Niu is also very lucky in Kua Siqian, "The old driver randomly picked up a sniper, if he can realize that the fire method is in the hands of the Guan team earlier, it is not hopeless to use the ultra-long-range sniper to pick up Captain Guan's head. "

Si Qianjin is also quite calm. Although he is not good at playing snipers, this map with a large area and complex terrain is very suitable for snipers. He can take advantage of the long range to catch mistakes. Once he is successful, he can not only change to another class, but also It can make Song Xueyang's best sniper completely withdraw from the battle.

And this kill target, it is best to use the fire method.

Juzi saw that the players of each team did not move, "The players of each team should be thinking about tactics now, what do you think is the difficulty of this game?"

Yao Jun hit the nail on the head, "The contestants in this game are all masters in the circle. Whether they can get the profession they are good at determines the battle situation. But it is not good to get the profession you are good at too early, because killing the enemy Not only will it be replaced by the enemy's profession, but the profession that I finally got will disappear. But if it is too late, and the player who gets the profession that I am good at kills other players, it will also cause the profession that I am good at to be eliminated .”

Juzi nodded, "It sounds really difficult, so it's not enough just to get a job you're good at, but also to choose a good time?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Song Xueyang's occupation is Shengguang, Zhou Ning asked, "Shall we find a sniper first?"

"No rush." ​​Song Xueyang narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, the captains of other teams were also thinking about tactics.

Zhang Jiayan frowned. The technical test of this game only took up a small part. The decisive factors were the arrangement of tactics and the order of killing the enemies. Since it was a game that relied on brains to win, Song Xueyang's existence was biggest threat.

He quickly made a decision, "Find Song Xueyang, or kill the sniper."

Guan He pondered for a moment and made the same decision, "Kill Song Xueyang first."

Several teams set off one after another, Tao Lele was unlucky, he and his teammates bumped into God of War Hu Nana and Xiao Zhang without taking two steps, the four of them were stunned for a second, Xiao Zhang was the first to react, and directly summoned a mechanism fort.

He randomly picked up Zhang Jiayan's mechanic, who was also a high-explosive job that tested hand speed, and the audience had great confidence in him.

Tao Lelesheng is thin and small, and looks timid and cute, but he is definitely a radical in the arena. Although he is not good at the assassin profession at all, he is not at all cowardly when he sees Xiao Zhang making a move. Raising his hand is a move Soul Blade.

In this game, because everyone looks the same, Xiao Zhang doesn't know what the opponent's profession is, but now seeing the enemy using an assassin skill, he immediately stopped and ran away with Hu Nana.

Tao Lele:? ? ?

Yao Jun explained in a timely manner, "Assassin is a short-term occupation for many players. In this game, only Luo Lie, the captain of the Dream Team, played Assassin. Skill combo attack control, the gameplay is relatively unorthodox, and it is difficult for people who are not familiar with the routine to use it in their hands. Just now Xiao Zhang didn’t make a move, and he probably didn’t want to change to the assassin profession.”

I thought I could have a big fight, but in the end, I ran away before I started to fight my opponent. Tao Lele was full of enthusiasm and had nowhere to scatter, so she had to walk around.

But everyone he met was full of interest in him at the beginning, as soon as he used his skills, the opponent immediately ran away without a trace, and did not intend to fight him at all.

Tao Lele said angrily, "Is there no one who can fight?"

The deputy captain couldn't help complaining, "It's because they don't want to kill you."

After all, the only Assassin player in this match is Luo Lie, who is not a threat to them at all. If Cang Yu participated in the match, it might be a different scene.

Because Tao Lele was looking for people to PK everywhere, some teams that had been hiding well showed their faces. Song Xueyang sharply saw that the skill released by a person happened to be the epee swordsman Zhou Ning was good at, so he teamed up with Zhou Ning to outflank the front and back, and the head Granted to Zhou Ning as a matter of course.

Niu Niu commented, "The vice-captain of the dream team was eliminated, and now the vice-captain Zhou is the first player on the field to get the profession he is good at."

"Great!"

Hai Xing clapped her hands and was about to share with Shen Huai, but found that the chair beside her was empty.

"Eh? Where's Shen Huai?"

Zhou Jing was speechless, "Brother Huai just went out to answer the phone, didn't you notice when you were sitting next to him?"

Starfish looked carefully but didn't notice it.

After Zhou Ning got his real job, the two let go of their hands and killed the vice-captains of Thunder and Chenxi successively. In order to keep Zhou Ning's swordsman job, Song Xueyang took the heads of these two, so he His career has also changed from holy light to conjuration.

Unlike other players who strive to find their specialty as soon as possible, Song Xueyang has played quite casually since he helped Zhou Ning get the epee swordsman.

Niu Niu asked puzzledly, "Why didn't Team Song quickly find a sniper? Not only is a sniper his best job, but he also has an advantage on this map."

Orange blinked, "Although I don't understand, I believe Team Song must have his plan."

This time Song Xueyang and Zhou Ning collided with two people again. The two won several games in a row without even thinking about raising their hands, but the audience in the audience let out an exclamation.

Because it was none other than Guan He and Tang Wenlang that Song Xueyang bumped into this time!

Guan He also didn't know that the people facing him were Song Xueyang and Zhou Ning. His current profession was Fire Art, but he helped Tang Wenlang get the heavy sword profession. He didn't find his best light sword, but he saw that Zhou Ning was envoy The moves of the epee swordsman, even if the target of the attack is determined.

Although the fighting style of the epee swordsman is different from that of the light swordsman, they are both branches of the swordsman profession, and Guan He is also very familiar with it.

He blocked Zhou Ning's position with a fireball technique, the flame flew close to him, hit the flame cannon and the flame brilliance close to the face, and then opened up - the flames!

Tang Wenlang cut over at the same time. As the main T swordsman of the Xiaolang team, his combo control was very smooth.One move, Yufengxing, cut in front of Zhou Ning, followed by Mountain Cleave, Drunken Song Sword, and Bright Moon Slash, a set of combos caught people off guard.

If Zhou Ning's partner was someone else, he would probably be dead by now, but his partner was none other than Song Xueyang.

Song Xueyang reacted quickly, following Tang Wenlang's move like a shadow, slowing down Tang Wenlang, and at the same time chanting the doomsday!

The range of silence skill directly interrupted Guan He's ultimate move, Guan He frowned, he didn't expect that the support profession like Black Curse is still alive at this stage of the game.

Zhou Ning took advantage of Song Xueyang's magnified kung fu to fight back. His hand speed was not slow at all. Not only did he use the Drunken Song Sword to control, but he also received four basic attacks at the same time!

Tang Wenlang immediately recognized the identity of the person who came. This kind of epee game that likes to use quick basic attacks to control control, only Fengyue's vice-captain Zhou Ning is in the circle!

He recognized it, so Guan He couldn't be mistaken, he stepped back three meters immediately, "Let's go find the light sword."

Tang Wenlang was stunned.

What?Looking for a light sword?Didn't they fight this heavy sword just because they couldn't find a light sword?As a result, you stopped playing halfway through the fight?

Zhou Ning was a little baffled when he saw him retreating, but he didn't intend to retreat, and was about to rush forward when there was a "bang" gunshot in the earphone.

"The old driver fired! He hid for so long and finally fired the first shot! Zhou Ning's blood is only 30% now. If the old driver's armor-piercing bullet hits, he can immediately take Zhou Ning away!"

However, Si Qianjin's marksmanship was still a little off. The charging time of this bullet did not reach the expected range at all. Not only did he miss the chance to kill Zhou Ning, but he also exposed his position.

Guan He immediately made a decision, "Kill the sniper!"

But the two of them were not the only ones who rushed forward. People from the three teams of WG, God of War, and Supper were hiding nearby and waited for the knife to make up at the last moment. Unexpectedly, the knife did not make up, but they found the sniper!

The crowd immediately rushed towards the direction where the bullet was fired, Si Qianjin was frightened stupid, he just fired a shot, how could he expect so many people to be attracted?

The sniper had short legs, and after only a few steps, Si Qianjin was killed by the crowd chasing him.

Because there were too many people, the battle immediately entered a melee stage. Both Fan Hao and Sun Yuan of the Supper team died of unknown AOE. Zhang Jiayan took advantage of the chaos to kill Hu Nana and got the ice magic. Dalian recruited four kills in one go!

In the end, only Guan He, Zhang Jiayan, and Song Xueyang were left on the field, and all three of them got their jobs.

Niu Niu sighed, "I can only say that a real master knows what to do no matter how chaotic the battle situation is."

In the next three-person duel, Song Xueyang and Zhang Jiayan tacitly formed a team to kill Guan He first, Song Xueyang kept his mind on it, and stopped at the last moment, giving Guan He's head to Zhang Jiayan.

Niu Niu was wondering why Song Xueyang wanted to kill him, when he saw that Zhang Jiayan had changed his career from a mechanic to a swordsman because he killed Guan He.

"The sniper's solo disadvantage, especially when encountering a mechanic who can be summoned from a long distance, Team Song deliberately let Team Yan take Guan He's head, in order to let Team Yan change to a profession that he is not good at!"

Zhang Jiayan also realized this problem at the moment of career change, but he has no way out now. Song Xueyang relied on the terrain advantage to kite long-distance, successfully killed Zhang Jiayan after 5 minutes, and won the team competition!

The host came to the stage again, "Let's congratulate Team Maple Moon for winning this team competition!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

"In order to encourage the players of each team, our competition committee also invited two mysterious guests..."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of cheers from the audience.

The official has long released the news that two entertainment stars will be invited to help out this year, but the identities of the two have not been announced. Now that they can finally see the mysterious guest, everyone excitedly raised their phones.

The lights in the venue dimmed, and the melodious music prelude echoed. The door directly behind the stage opened, and Liu Yueran walked down the steps slowly in a long white dress, and sang the official character song of "City of Despair" on the national server—" "Chasing Light".

Liu Yueran sang a few lines, and a low-pitched male voice came from the stage. The voice was gentle and delicate. At first glance, it seemed flat, but the ending was long and leisurely. Most importantly, it was familiar.

A man came out of the smoke. He was wearing a black suit. He was tall and straight. The buttons of his jacket were unbuttoned to reveal the white shirt inside. He wore the most classic outfits but he didn't feel aesthetic fatigue at all. Bright.

The screams of the audience in the front row had long been broken, because the person who walked down the steps was actually Shen Huai!

The three commentators were all dumbfounded. They knew the procedure of the opening ceremony, but the original special guests were Liu Yueran and Shi Cen. Why did they suddenly change to Shen Huai!

However, the audience didn't know this. Although they were a little surprised when they saw Shen Huai, they felt it was very appropriate.

That's right, Shen Huai is an e-sports player and a star, so it's perfect for him to be the special guest!

Even the netizens in the live broadcast room went crazy.

[My special guests are actually Yushen and Liu Yueran!My gods and goddesses are all gathered! 】

【Ahhh!How could Feather God sing so well! 】

Song Xueyang heard Shen Huai's voice when he walked halfway, and he hurried to the entrance of the auditorium, where Shen Huai and Liu Yueran were singing to the end.

The song "Chasing the Light" is about the love story between the official CP swordsman and the magician.

Liu Yueran has never cooperated with Shen Huai since graduation. She was really happy when they sang on the same stage this time. Holding the microphone, she looked at Shen Huai from time to time, vividly expressing the unfinished love story between the swordsman and the magician in the original work. .

At the end of the song, Liu Yueran walked directly in front of Shen Huai and opened his arms towards him. Shen Huai was stunned for a moment, but how could he dare to let the girl lose face on the stage, so he quickly reached out to hug her.

There was a burst of excited screams from the audience.

Holding Liu Yueran in his arms, Shen Huai was keenly aware of a scorching gaze passing through the auditorium and falling on him, it felt like it was going to burn two holes in his body.

Shen Huai panicked for a while.

When it was over, he kicked over the vinegar jar at home.
