Chapter 10: A Death Match Is Coming!
Hero nameplate, what is it?
In front of the screen, Zhao Dingguo fell into deep thoughts.
When entering the other areas of the platform before, the platform has suggested that the rank of his nameplate was not enough. In addition, after the victory of the game, the Beyond G.o.dlike notice also mentioned the hero nameplate!
Zhao Dingguo remembered very clearly that the change before the coma happened exactly when he saw the last notice about the nameplate!
It seemed that this nameplate is really a very important thing.
Except for this one, there seems to be nothing special to pay attention to. What was the Hero Medal? Until now, Zhao Dingguo has not seen it, so it has been thrown aside. Was AP roughly equal to Matchmaking Rating? Zhao Dingguo was not very sure, but it should be similar. The player with the highest MMR he had ever seen had 2,167 MMR, and his MMR just a fraction of that guy!
There was also WP, what was this used for?
Zhao Dingguoguang considered these issues, thus he did not notice that there was two new options in the Beyond G.o.dlike platform: Enhance and Redeem. This feature was actually opened after he experienced the first Regular Match. Even if he noticed, he couldn"t buy anything with just 200 WP.
In this way, with a brain of doubts and confusion, Zhao Dingguo pa.s.sed the most uneasy night since the note.
The next day was a rainy day.
The rain in the last week of September was not big, but it didn"t stop after a long night. Zhao Dingguo was awakened by the raindrops knocking down the tarpaulin downstairs. He turned over and grabbed the phone next to the bed. He took a look at the time. Whoever thought of it unexpectedly found a text message from his buddy w.a.n.g Xin.
“Come on the Red Sun Internet cafe, let"s have a couple of DOTA matches! We already have four, only you are missing!”
The text message was ten minutes ago, probably pressed by the pillow, so he didn"t hear the sound.
As for w.a.n.g Xin, he was a friend of him from junior high school to the university. The friendship of nearly a decade was really very deep. Seeing the call of friends, Zhao Dingguo suddenly threw yesterday"s business behind his head. He quickly jumped out of bed, hurriedly washed and ate something, and rushed toward the Red Internet cafe!
It"s raining, but it"s impossible to stop him from opening up his enthusiasm with his friends.
“Hey, why haven"t you arrived yet? Come right away? Very good, we will wait for you for a while!"
Probably because of waiting for a while, w.a.n.g Xin came back with a phone call. Zhao Dingguo answered the phone while flying with an umbrella. Don"t know why, Zhao Dingguo felt that his speed was much faster than yesterday. The distance that he needed to run for fifteen minutes in the past could be reached in less than ten minutes at the current speed, and he felt that he still had a lot of spare power!
Was it because the change that Beyond G.o.dlike platform made to him yesterday?
Probably coincidentally, when Zhao Dingguo thought of this inadvertently, his chest suddenly became hot, as if something warm was stuck there. Zhao Dingguo"s doubts reached out and touched it, but he felt a line of numbers.
That line of silver ID numbers!
Zhao Dingguo"s hand suddenly stagnated there! Didn"t it disappear into the body when I saw it yesterday? How come out today?
However, before he had any reaction, a sound that sounded a bit rigid rang in his heart: “The Beyond G.o.dlike user with ID 037205, your Death Match this month is about to open. Please enter Beyond G.o.dlike s.p.a.ce in five minutes. Otherwise, it will be regarded as abandoning the team battle, and the platform automatically judged the match"s result to be a failure!”
“The Death Match team battle has started? Beyond G.o.dlike s.p.a.ce?”
The sudden sounding of the notice shocked him and made him even more confused. But after experiencing the strange things of yesterday, his psychological endurance has been much stronger. Although it"s not clear what the meaning of the Death Match was, but judging from its name alone, failure was not a good end.
The question is, how do I get into the Beyond G.o.dlike s.p.a.ce?
When this doubt was just popped up in his head, the stereotyped voice sounded again, this time gave him a note: “Find any place where there is no one else, touching the number of the nameplate that appears, and thinking about enter Beyond G.o.dlike s.p.a.ce!”
It mean the line silver numbers id part of the nameplate…
Zhao Dingguo got a little useful information from the notice. He looked around and found that there was an abandoned house not far away from the old bus station. There was a lot of gra.s.s inside, no one has been there. Seeing that time was running out, he rushed in. After confirming no one noticed, he held down the digital ID and then thought about enter Beyond G.o.dlike s.p.a.ce!
The silvery light shone from the nameplate and flowed through his body in an instant.
The surrounding s.p.a.ce was distorted like a ripple of water, which, although more and more violent, was always controlled to a certain extent. Three seconds later, Zhao Dingguo seemsedto be integrated into the air as a colorless light smoke, disappearing from this world!
After pa.s.sing the colorful tunnel of time and s.p.a.ce conversion, Zhao Dingguo suddenly felt his eyes black. At the same time, his feet touched the ground. When he regained his sense, he found himself in a hall decorated with a magical style of about 300 square meters. Some of the DOTA hero"s reliefs and murals can be seen everywhere on the ceiling and walls of the hall. These works of art are of a high standard, giving a strong visual impact.
“Oh, the last one is here too!”
A sound that sounded hoa.r.s.e, which made Zhao Dingguo slightly surprised.
He looked around and found that under the wall at the end of the hall, two groups of people had stood up clearly. One of the teams was a group of five, and the other team was four. The speaker is a round-faced man of about 30 years old in the group of four. Everyone stood inside a pillar of light. There was only one pillar which was empty. It seemed to be left for him!
“It"s OK, hurry up and stand up!”
Another young man with a split voice also spoke, urging Zhao Dingguo, who was still looking around the environment.
Zhao Dingguo was a little embarra.s.sed and quickly stepped into the light pillar. As if it detected his partic.i.p.ation, the original dim light lit up from left to right, like in preparation.
Taking advantage of this gap, the round-faced man, who was about 30 years old, turned around and whispered, “Are you also partic.i.p.ating in Death Match for the first time?”
Zhao Dingguo stunned and nodded, then asked: “Yes. Any problem?”
Seeing Zhao Dingguo nod, the round-faced man slapped his own forehead and looked depressed. “My G.o.d, this is miserable. Three of the five people are partic.i.p.ating in Death Match for the first time! What happened to the scale system? Why does my team have so many rookies?”
His words made Zhao Dingguo think thoughtfully: “This is not the first time you partic.i.p.ate in a Death Match?”
Depressed, the round-faced man did not hide, simply nodded: “Yes, I have partic.i.p.ated in three times before, also played thirteen Regular Matches. In his month, I gained my rank and I thought that I never have to play with you rookies again. How unlucky!”
"Rank? What does it have to do with the hero nameplate?"
When he heard the word he mentioned, Zhao Dingguo seized the opportunity and quickly asked questions in his heart.
The round-faced man apparently did not expect Zhao Ding to ask this question. He looked at him with a little surprise: “This is the first time you partic.i.p.ate in Death Match, so you should be a new to the BE platform, right? You can pay attention to this problem, it"s rarely seen. In fact, as you said, the rank refers to the rank of hero nameplate. For example, my current rank is Dawn…”
When his words were not finished, they were interrupted.
With all the ten pillars light up, the scene began to change, and the stereotyped sound that was heard before also sounded at the same time.
“Detected that the Beyond G.o.dlike user with ID 037205 met the conditions of partic.i.p.ating in the Death Match. Joining the battle…”
"The Beyond G.o.dlike platform scale system is turned on, and the total AP of the two teams are 657 VS 663!"
“Beyond G.o.dlike s.p.a.ce loading…”
“The preset terrain of this match is Poplar Valley (autumn). It is detected that no Beyond G.o.dlike user has bloodline, the platform will automatically summon the soul of the heroes to join the battle!”
“Because it is a Death Match, after the failure, 100 (based on the current hero nameplate"s rank) + (50 * the number of Death Matches you have partic.i.p.ated in) Winning Points will be deduced. If your current WP is insufficient, you will be permanently obliterated. You can choose to bring any skill, equipments and items into the real world!”
“Loading is completed, the Death Match E01254 is about to begin!”
