The biggest difference between "Zone" and most games on the market lies in its unique equipment system.
The planners of the entire game company seem to be obsessed with equipment control. Every time a new equipment is launched, not only the unique attributes, auxiliary skills and drop methods of the equipment are carefully and uniquely planned, but even the shape design It is also full of great touches of whimsy and whimsy. So much so that every time a new weapon is launched, not only the PVP ladder madmen rack their brains to replenish the equipment library, but even those casual appearance parties in PVE are unwilling to collect it even if they spend money to ask the studio to help them collect it. Let go of any one.
Of course, Lin Xiao is not the kind of appearance collector, but he has a detailed understanding of almost all equipment in the whole profession. As a senior PVP player, he focused more on equipment training and collocation strategies.
All equipment in "Zone" can be put into the player's equipment library for selection after acquisition. However, even if each player can own the same weapon, it is likely to have completely different use effects, because each piece in the game Weapons all rely on eight different souls, which can have eight different training directions——blood soul soul (physical attack), demon soul soul (magic attack), shield soul (physical defense), god guard soul ( Magic Defense), Soaring Body Soul (upper limit of blood and mana), Blaster Soul (speed sensitivity), Solid Element Soul (resistance), and Condenser Soul (cooling reduction).
It is precisely because of this that each player can better have room to play according to their own characteristics, and it also makes the strategy of choosing different equipment during the battle more intricate. Whether it is domestic or international professional confrontation leagues, each player's equipment matching strategy is also one of the most attractive highlights during the competition.
After exiting the dungeon, Lin Xiao directly opened the equipment library, poured all the equipment in the carry-on package into it, and looked through it casually, but did not pick out any equipment with long-term training potential, so he threw all the equipment into the dismantled box. After analyzing the system, he chose to split it into a condenser for cultivating the cooling reduction system.
After Lin Xiao added the red alert, he didn't take the initiative to contact him again, but devoted himself to the great work of clearing various dungeons. He needs to enter the ladder as soon as possible to improve his rank, but if he wants to use this to obtain new equipment, he must at least develop a complete set of basic equipment first.
Lin Xiao, who is alone now, can only swipe the wild team once, and not every boss in the dungeon can be so stupid and cute, so the efficiency of swipe is not too fast. Finally, a sufficient number of condenser souls needed to cultivate a set of equipment were dismantled.
In the Zone world, the equipment training method that focuses on cooling reduction is unified into the cooling flow, which is the genre that takes the extreme skill shortening method. However, players with a general cooldown will selectively cultivate 4 of the 8 parts of equipment selection, even if they are placed in professional league players, they will use up to 6 pieces. And someone like Lin Xiao who has prepared all 8 pieces of equipment in his body to be trained in the direction of extreme cooling, I am afraid it can only be described as crazy.
The basic equipment is ready, and the next vacancy is the main training equipment. Due to limited conditions, he temporarily chose a few equipment that are relatively easy to obtain now.
Lin Xiao already has five finished products in his hands, and the other three in the plan need to be obtained from several more difficult ten-person books. This kind of dungeon, the major guilds have a fixed dungeon group, but now since they want to mix into Black Dawn, it is naturally impossible to add some other guilds casually.
I was looking through the dungeon channel list to find a suitable dungeon team, when I heard a "pop", the computer screen flickered and then suddenly dimmed. After checking it, it was found that it was tripped, but when he turned the switch on and tried to restart the machine, a series of English words popped up, dominating the screen with a dark background.
Well, the computer is broken.
"...It's a little unlucky." Lin Xiao muttered, dismantled the computer in two or three strokes, went downstairs and took a taxi and went directly to the computer city. Hugging his body and curling up on the back seat, he curled up into a ball, and couldn't help but yawned deeply. The sleepless dungeon life for several days in a row really made him exhausted. Thanks to the broken computer, he decided to take a short vacation for himself.
"Can't turn on the machine, it may be related to the hardware, you wait here for a while, I will take it in and take a closer look." The owner of the computer shop left this sentence after checking, and asked someone to move the machine into the house.
Lin Xiao turned around boredly, and finally locked on a chair. Just as he was about to walk over, he heard someone say loudly: "Wow, this time it's really a good show!" Following the voice, he saw A laptop was placed on the table next to it, and through the gap between several people, one could see the familiar scene on the screen.
Only then did I remember that this time happened to be during the regular season of the domestic league LPP spring season.
The team emblems on both sides of the screen clearly fell into the eyes. Today's match happened to be Team Black Rose VS Team Liuyun. Lin Xiao looked at it from a distance for a while, then walked over slowly with his hands in his trouser pockets.
The live broadcast is now the second match of the 1V1 battle. The Black Rose team Shen Chang and the summoner "Season Rain" operated by the Black Rose team played against the black mage "Crazy Fish" operated by the Liuyun team Zhang Fengyu. Since both sides are vice-captains of their respective teams, this duel was naturally promoted to a contest between vice-teams, which immediately ignited the atmosphere of the audience.
Not only were the audience crying and howling, but even the onlookers in the computer store were all gearing up for excitement. Because the fans of the two teams were all related, they discussed fiercely while watching, and when they disagreed with each other, they would be furious, and they almost rolled up their sleeves and went straight to it.
Lin Xiao looked at the crazy scene in front of him with a smile, touched a cigarette and put it in his mouth, took a puff and squinted his eyes, his eyes fell on the person in front of the commentary seat in the center of the screen.
Xu Qingli, the captain of the Aotian team back then.
As a member of the league, although he is not as talented as many players, he has always worked hard, and he can be regarded as an upper-middle level in the e-sports circle. However, because the captains of each team were talented at that time, and the Aotian team he served as the captain has always been tepid, and has been criticized for a long time. But Lin Xiao admired this captain full of positive energy. Although the e-sports industry had just started and was in decline at that time, his presence in the league was like a strange stream, inspirational and inspiring. people's hearts.
It's just that Xu Qingli chose to retire five years later.
But when you think about it carefully, he was 22 years old back then, and now he is 27 years old. He is really old among e-sports players. For the sake of future development, there is nothing wrong with making this choice. After all, official commentary is not a job that anyone can take on casually. Xu Qingli has a lot of research on the combat styles and tactics of various teams. This position is really suitable for him.
Lin Xiao sighed somewhat embarrassingly. Speaking of which, he remembered that this person seemed to owe him five hundred dollars back then.
Suddenly the wave of cheers surged like a tsunami, Lin Xiao was so startled that he tilted his body, the cigarette butt in his hand shook, and the falling ash almost burned his trouser legs.
Looking up, it turned out that the players from both sides walked into the game site, and the commentator was introducing the players. He couldn't help but wiped his sweat silently. He had been watching games with the team members before, and he had never tried this kind of wild spectator feeling. Only now can he truly realize that these fans are... too Enthusiasm!
The commotion outside alarmed the people in the back room, and the boss immediately yelled, "What are you doing when you're not working? If you keep arguing, believe it or not, you'll all be fired!"
As if the mute was pressed, the entire computer store was suddenly silent, only the voice of the explanation in the notebook came one after another.
Lin Xiao watched those people disperse in amused manner, pulled a chair over by himself, and sat in front of the computer to read.
As far as Shen Chang and Zhang Fengyu are concerned, if they really trace back, they can be regarded as old enemies. The two are known for their rigor and stability in terms of character and combat style, and because they entered the alliance at the same time, they happen to be the vice-captains of two top teams, so it is inevitable that people will often compare them together.
These two people are no strangers to Lin Xiao.
When Lin Xiao was the captain of the Black Rose team, Shen Changyu was still an unknown substitute player. At that time, Zhang Fengyu had already shined in the professional league and gained the limelight.
Later, the members of Team Black Rose made several changes one after another. To everyone's surprise, in the second season of LPP, Lin Xiao, as the captain of the team who won the championship for two seasons in a row, pushed Shen Changyu to the position of vice-president. team position. At that time, Shen Changyu was just a little-known rookie. When everyone questioned his appointment, Lin Xiao, facing the camera lens, just smiled lightly: "Deputy Shen is a rare talent. I will give you a satisfactory answer."
At the time, this sentence seemed to be just an answer to the official rhetoric. After the Black Rose team experienced the defeat in the third season, it caused even more extreme dissatisfaction among many team fans.
However, in the fourth season, Lin Xiao finally led the Black Rose team to the podium of the GDL world championship, and together with Shen Changyu, he lifted the championship trophy, and handed in a satisfactory answer for the decision made that year . However, just after the end of the competition that year, the "Old Ghost" Lin Xiao, who can be called a milestone in e-sports, died in a car accident on his way back.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little pity. Back then, he promised his deputy team would bring him along for a three-game winning streak...
Now it seems that although the Black Rose team has declined a little, it still exists as a wealthy team. But there is one thing that Lin Xiao didn't expect was that after five years of his absence, Shen Changyu, who was the vice-team, still remained in the vice-team position, while his position as captain back then was raised by a new generation. You Jing, the operator of Priest "Dizzy Fantastic", officially took over.
Before his rebirth, he had never heard of the existence of this character.
At this time, the introduction of the contestants from both sides has been completed, the picture on the screen turned, and when a figure fell, the camera paused slightly symbolically. Although there was only a pause in the picture for a few seconds, the scene was suddenly completely obliterated by overwhelming screams, which were so loud that they almost completely opened up the entire venue.
Lin Xiao frowned while his ears hurt from the shock, and his eyes fell on the silhouette wearing the Black Rose team uniform.
The author has something to say: Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd, I never forgot your face~~~serious face.
