[Please select the game mode that your team would like to join.]
“You’ve chosen the S2 training mode for the tournament of the best. Please confirm.”
“Confirmed. Please select the spectator for this battle.”
At that point, a menu appeared on the screen. There were the IDs of the five team members, and Feng bujue selected himself.
“Confirmed. Please set your team ‘s’ Privacy Protection options ‘.”
This “Privacy Protection” option allowed the team leader to choose “do you want to blur out the appearance of my team members” and “do you want to report the team name of the team to the enemy team”.
The existence of these two options was obviously very necessary …
As mentioned before, S2 was not only a battle of strength between teams, it was also a battle of intelligence. Before the official compet.i.tion, the more information the team had, the more disadvantageous it would be for the compet.i.tion.
Therefore, when your team name and team member’s appearance were known by others, you were actually already taking a risk.
Don’t think that you can let your guard down just because you’re in a practice battle … What if after the battle, your opponent directly exposed you on the forum,”what skills do you need to be wary of,””what weaknesses do you have to deal with,” and other such information? what would you do?
Even if they didn’t do so for the time being, at a certain point in the future … For example, when your team entered the final circle, the teams that had fought you before would probably jump out and say,””Eh, this team has already entered the finals? Our team has played against them before! At that time, we didn’t lose by much, and we still remember the people in their team … And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so …”Aren’t you going to cry when you encounter such a thing?
Of course, if your team wasn’t fighting for a ranking and just a few casual players were having fun together, everyone could play some games and show off … Then it didn’t matter. So what if it’s displayed? you basically don’t have any chance of being ‘studied’.
And if your team was strong enough … To the point where you could still win even if someone else had a large amount of information, then you also didn’t need to hide.
For example, first-cla.s.s societies like regulation, G.o.ds, pugilistic world, and red Sakura basically did not use the ‘Privacy Protection’ function. They had at least two good reasons to do so: Firstly, it was extremely important for a gaming studio to increase their popularity and influence, even more so than the compet.i.tion itself. Secondly, their t.i.tles could bring a kind of “deterrence” to the other party. Normal non-professional or even semi-professional players would already feel psychological pressure when they saw these well-known team names.
As for the underworld frontline …
With Feng bujue’s sleazy … No, quick-witted, brother Jue’s quick-witted team leader, how could they possibly leak any information?
In fact, until the later stages of the S2 preliminaries (the last few rounds of the preliminaries would cancel the privacy Protection function), when the true appearance of the h.e.l.l frontline team was finally revealed, everyone had no impression of them at all. Even the teams that had fought with them before couldn’t tell if they had encountered this group of people. And the reason for this result … Would soon be revealed to everyone …
[You have chosen “blur appearance” and “do not inform the enemy team of your team name”. Please confirm.]
“Confirmed. Your team has entered the queue. Searching for other readied teams.”
“Matching complete, coordinating neural connection, generating scenario …”
“Loading, please wait.”
When he said that, Feng bujue’s body was already weightless, and his vision turned pitch black.
In this mode, there was no “opening speech.” After a moment of silence, it was …
“Download Complete. You are currently playing the S2 practice mode for the tournament of the best.”
“A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of a side or hidden mission and a special world-building appearing.
Scenario victory reward: 0.02% of current exp limit
As mentioned before, in this mode,”the experience, game coins, and skill points provided by the system are similar to the slaughter mode, but the acquisition rate of items and skills will be lower than that of the normal survival mode, similar to the novice practice mode.” Also … The reward for winning a scenario was not that great. It was unlikely that there would be puzzle cards or equipment. It was most likely just an experience reward.
“The scenario introduction is about to play. The game will start immediately after the play.
After a slight pause, the introductory cinematic began to play.
[There are three black birds in this world.]
[There are three red eyes in this world.]
Amidst the ethereal and distant female voice’s monologue, a mottled and obscure sky appeared before the two teams of players.
It was more like a color palette in a mental patient’s brain than a sky. On the dark gray background, many twisted, oil-colored patterns were irregularly distributed and flowing …
And in the sky, there were indeed three black, crow-like giant shadows circling.
[No one can escape the hunting of those birds. No one can escape the gaze of those eyes.]
The camera moved, and a barren land appeared in the picture.
On the rugged, barren land, there were scattered bones of various strange creatures. There were wreckages of shockingly large buildings scattered across the continent, each pile about half the size of a building.
[There was once a white country in this world.]
[There was once a Golden King in this world.]
Another two soliloques sounded, and the CG was instantly covered with a layer of hazy color, as if it had entered the perspective of “memory”.
In the blink of an eye, the barren land turned into a fertile gra.s.sland, and the remains of buildings turned into magnificent temples and statues. Even the strange sky looked more pleasing to the eye after being covered with a warm color …
[How prosperous was that country? how extraordinary was that King?]
At that moment, many men and women, young and old, wearing ancient Greek clothing appeared on the screen. They were either walking or riding a carriage pulled by a strange creature (shaped like a camel but with horns on its head, and its body width and size were more than twice that of a camel), or floating in the air.
Roads and markets also appeared around the large buildings. There was an endless stream of pedestrians, and it looked very lively.
[Until one day, the king saw that G.o.ddess.]
The next second, the camera turned and pointed at a temple on a high mountain. The hieron was as large as a city. The gate alone was 20 m high. The buildings were all made of white, smooth boulders that seemed to have no traces of carving. They could be said to be divine works and otherworldly items.
After a short pause, a graceful figure slowly walked out of the temple’s Gate.
Then, the camera zoomed in, and the figure gradually became clear.
It was undoubtedly a devastatingly beautiful woman. Just looking at her figure and gait from afar was enough to make one’s imagination roam. Looking at it up close, it was even more captivating.
She had a head full of golden, wavy hair and a pair of bright, Lake-like eyes. His high nose bridge had a beautiful curve. Her full lips exuded a fatal temptation.
And under her light blue gauze was a s.e.xy, seductive body. That soul-stirring curve was on the verge of appearing, and those who had seen it would never be able to erase it from their minds.
[The beauty of the G.o.ddess has ignited the desire and madness in the king’s heart. He wants to possess her at all costs.]
The camera turned again, and a man appeared on the screen. He looked like he was in his forties. He was dressed in a set of gorgeous golden armor and a red cape. He was tall and stalwart, and his face was handsome and charming.
Objectively speaking, he was indeed a mature and handsome man. Whether it was his appearance or temperament, he was extraordinary and outstanding.
But … After seeing “that G.o.ddess,” the feeling he gave people was … After all, he was a mortal.
“He came before the G.o.ddess and promised to offer the throne of the Queen.”
[The G.o.ddess calmly refuses.]
“He came before the G.o.ddess again and promised to offer the wealth of the entire Kingdom.”
[The G.o.ddess is disdainful.]
[This is the third time he has come before the G.o.ddess. He wishes to offer the throne of the Queen to her, and the entire country is a gift.]
[The G.o.ddess scoffed.]
[Finally, he was angry. He started a war and wanted to use force to get what he wanted.]
Next, the cinematics turned to the war scene. The fully armed brave soldiers, the neatly lined up wizard battle groups, and the siege beasts, giant cannons, and even Giants … Valiantly and spiritedly rushed to the temple.
However … The camera turned again, and the war was over.
[How can an Army of mortals fight against the power of G.o.d?]
[The blasphemy and challenge to G.o.d has led the king to the path of destruction.]
[The White Kingdom has become a barren scorched earth.]
[The Golden King has become a skeleton on the side of the road.]
At this time, the scene had unknowingly returned to the beginning of the cinematic. Three huge crows were circling in the air, and only ruins and dead bones were left on the ground.
[Before the king died, the G.o.ddess came to him.]
[“You were a great king, but you lost to human desire in the end.”]
[“The greatness of mortals will eventually be buried by time and return to dust. The beauty of G.o.d will exist forever and no one will touch it.”]
[This is the final announcement and an indisputable fact.]
[But the king was not satisfied. Before he died, he left a curse.]
[If I can’t get it, then no one else can!]
His words stopped abruptly.
The ethereal monologue became impa.s.sioned in the last part, but it ended at the most crucial part.
Then, the fourth member of underworld frontline appeared next to a building wreckage, and the system’s voice immediately sounded.”The main mission has been triggered.” (To be continued.)
