The appearance of Lin Yao also made Qin Mo realize the strength of the team sent by Huaxia Club to the new area.
Among the five players back then, Lin Yao was the one he was most optimistic about. He originally wanted to train Lin Yao into a long-range attacker, but Lin Yao transferred to Huaxia Club. According to Xiao Han, Lin Yao did not perform very well after going to Huaxia. In fact, it is not that Lin Yao is poor, but that the archers in Huaxia are too strong.
It is also a very wise choice for him to switch to a new game this time, at least in the new game he will not be overwhelmed everywhere.
Several juniors are promising, and Qin Mo is also in a good mood. He played ranked with Xiao Han, won ten rounds in a row, and rushed to the 3000th division in one breath. Then he and Xiao Han put the rest of the team together. All of them have reached over 3000 points, and the titles behind everyone's names have also become the third-level "Hero".
Dubu Jianghu started its public beta during the summer vacation, and it has been a month and a half since the game, and the players in the game have basically reached their full level, and the online rate of the arena has also set a historical record for online games. It's just that school will start in a few days, and once the student party leaves, the number of people online in the arena should drop.
With the gradual approach of autumn, the martial arts ring battle at the end of the year is getting closer and closer.
***
This morning, after Qin Mo went to the training room and turned on the computer, he heard Shen He shouting: "Master, the official announcement has been made, news about the sect group arena!"
Qin Mo opened the official website, and sure enough, he saw a bright red letter on it - the announcement about the launch of the "All Martial Art Grand Prix" at the end of the year.
The news that the martial arts civil war will be opened at the end of the year was mentioned when the competition system was announced last time, but no specific rules have been issued. Today's announcement spells out the rules of this competition in detail.
The Grand Prix of All Sects is actually a warm-up for next year's new season, and the official just happened to try the network stability of the competition server, the effect of simultaneous live broadcast, and so on. The scale of this competition is huge, and the official rewards are also quite a lot. The entry threshold is that all players who have reached the "Heroic" rank in the arena can sign up to participate.
Hero rank, that is, when the arena points reached 3000 points, Qin Mo and his team had already reached it.
There are still more than two months before the competition, and it is not difficult for online game players to achieve this record.
Since it is a civil war among sects, the eight major sects must be compared separately. The competition schedule is divided into three stages. The first round of audition will be held first. The applicants of each school will be arranged by the system to compete with the same players. After ten rounds, those with a winning rate of more than 50% will enter the next stage until the decision is made. Up to the top sixteen; the top sixteen will enter the semi-finals, and the points will be played in groups, and finally the top four of this genre will be selected to enter the finals; the finals will use a cruel elimination system.
Since the entire competition is online, people from other places do not need to go to the official headquarters in Beijing, as long as they have a network cable at home, they can participate in the competition. The live broadcast of the game only broadcasts the game screen, no matter how ugly I am, I don’t have to be afraid, which also greatly increases the enthusiasm of the players to participate.
The registration channel will open from November 11th to November 25th, and the competition will officially start on December 1st.
It is said that the final winner will be officially invited to visit the headquarters, and will be reimbursed for round-trip air tickets and board and lodging expenses. In addition to bonuses and trophies, they will also be presented with special school commemorative figures.
The martial arts civil war is completely a competition of strength, because the players of the same sect know each other very well, and the skills they have learned are the same. Losing to the same sect can only show that the skills are not as good as others.
Each faction in Dubu Jianghu has two different ways of playing. In order to avoid a situation where one faction suppresses another faction, this competition is also based on the genre as the unit. For example, in the Zhuge family, the ratio of the organ stream to the organ stream, the bone fan stream to the bone fan stream, the Hanhua Sword School is also a long sword stream, and a short sword stream is a group, and they are not mixed together.
In other words, a total of 14 champions will eventually be born from the eight sects, and the winning rate is very high.
As for why there are fourteen and not sixteen...
The official explanation is: "Healing and support are not output-oriented occupations, but careers that contribute to the team. Excellent treatment and support need to be judged in team battles. Regardless of the amount of treatment or the number of support skills, as long as they can assist Teammates winning the game is good treatment and support. On the one hand, it is too time-consuming to play in the ring alone, and on the other hand, you can’t judge your strength by winning or losing in the ring.”
This kind of argument still makes sense, the two nannies have been brushing blood for themselves, and it really seems too tiring to fight one-on-one.
As for assists...
A group of people on Weibo were laughing: "Does Dubu Jianghu have support?" "We haven't seen what support is!" "The white umbrellas in Tingyulou are all girls who look at the scenery, and there are not many who can play support!" "A purely team-fighting support that doesn't have any output skills is indeed rarely played by..." "If you want to see a strong support, you probably have to wait for the later leagues!"
Seeing these messages, Qin Mo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly—Is it a strong support? Our Mo Jue has a world-class support, you can wait and see the future team battles.
For a while, forums and Weibo were full of discussions about the arena battle of the whole school, and the popularity of the game Dubu Jianghu became more and more popular.

After the rules of the ring were announced, Qin Mo began to prepare for this matter.
His idea is that except for Li Muran's treatment and Zhu Qingyue's support, everyone else in Mo Jue will participate in the competition. Although this time the martial arts arena is not included in the team points, and he will not show up in the online competition, it will not affect the professional players. , This can only be regarded as a warm-up match for national entertainment, but the key point is that everyone can have a full and comprehensive understanding of the profession they have chosen through this match, and there is no harm in participating. The captains of other teams must also think the same way. Although it is a martial art arena, they can meet many masters during the competition.
Next, Qin Mo began to collect cheats again.
According to the official announcement, the cheats for the ring competition come with them. Dubu Jianghu's cheat column can only open one skill, that is to say, he can only choose to bring one cheat book into the game. The members of Team Mo Jue have now collected ten cheat books, including eight cheat books that were exchanged for the cheat fragments from the small copy of the five-person sect, "High Mountains and Flowing Water" that was dropped from the copy, and Qin Mo and Xiao Han teamed up to snatch the book. "Northern Geese Flying South" dropped by the boss of Walking Sword God Valley.
But this is far from enough, because the official said, there are thirty secrets to be alone in the rivers and lakes!
They have only compiled ten volumes, and the others have to go to the wild to find them.
Qin Mo handed over this task to Xiao Yaoxian, the manager of the Mo Jue Guild, and asked the little profiteer to go to the chamber of commerce to search for the cheat books that were put up for auction.
All the members of the Mo Jue Guild took action to find the cheats, and the number of people was strong. Gradually, Qin Mo collected more than 20 cheats, but he was still short of the ultimate goal of 30 books. So, Qin Mo personally took the members of the Mo Jue team to the field to kill the world bosses who dropped the cheat books a few times. By the end of October, the official 30 cheat books were finally assembled.
The friendship between Qin Mo and Xiao Han has reached seven stars. The two first copied the cheats from each other, and then copied them to other team members. Everyone in Mo Jue has several cheats to choose from in their backpacks. , you can adjust cheat skills according to your opponent during the game.
In the process of collecting cheats, everyone will train on time every day and play qualifying matches. The arena points have reached more than 4,000 points, and the title has become the fourth-level "grandmaster".
The "Grandmaster" level is really like a cloud of masters. Eight people from Mojue are divided into two groups to play random qualifying matches. If they are not careful, they will lose. The level of this level of qualifying is already quite high. It is estimated that many of them are from major teams. professional players. Further up is the highest level of the "King" rank. Because the grandmaster rank is too difficult to win consecutively, no one can score 5000 points for a while. Even masters like Qin Mo and Xiao Han would lose if they played in a team with five players who cooperated with each other tacitly. If they wanted to become the king, they would have to wait until around the Spring Festival at least.
…
Time flies, and it is November in a blink of an eye.
On the day of Double Eleven, singles are celebrating Singles’ Day, shopaholics are browsing Taobao, and unique players are also browsing the official website like crazy—almost paralyzing the official website.
Because this day is the registration day for the whole sect group arena.
As long as the arena reaches 3000 points, you can sign up, and it is divided into genres to fight civil wars. All participants can get a lot of gold coins and material rewards in the game. The final round is even more powerful. Tens of thousands of yuan in cash plus precious collectible martial art figures, as well as a one-day trip to the official headquarters with all meals and air tickets included, are simply enviable!
The official is very kind, and this incentive model of "participation and rewards" has also made this martial arts competition unprecedentedly popular.
Shen He watched the webpage refresh early in the morning, and quickly filled in his ID card number on the registration interface. As a result, the circle of "searching for roles" kept spinning, and there was no result after two minutes. Shen He couldn't help complaining. : "Why is it so slow, it must be because many people signed up at the same time!"
Li Muran said indifferently: "There is no rush."
Shen He: "Of course you are not in a hurry, you are a dad, and you don't need to go to the ring to PK!"
Liu Hong next to him smiled and said, "It's not like the first one to sign up will win the championship, so there's no need for you to be anxious."
Shen He was stunned, scratched his head and said, "Sister Hong is right! Then I will report in two days." As a result, at this moment, the waiting rotation of the search box suddenly stopped, and a message appeared on the screen: ID card Corresponding role—Xijiangyue in the first district of China Telecom, drinking Jianghe drunk, from the Zhuge family. Do you want this character to sign up for the first Dubu Jianghu All Martial Arts Challenge
Shen He immediately excitedly pressed "Yes."
Please select a genre.
Shen He chose the mechanism flow, and then saw a line of words appear on the screen——
Sign up successfully. The current number of participants in this genre: 507 people. Competition start time: December 1st, please pay attention to the system notification in the game.
Shen He said excitedly: "The registration window has only been open for ten minutes, yet more than 500 people have already signed up!"
Pei Yu said: "Calm down, more than 800 people have signed up for the Luoying Valley Jade Flute School."
He Beiguang said: "There are more than 800 people in Mad Saber Sect."
Xiao Han continued, "There are more than 800 dagger assassins."
Shen He was stunned, and turned back to Qin Mo, "Master, how many people are there in your Hanhua Sword Sect?"
Qin Mo said calmly, "More than a thousand people."
Everyone: "..."
The swordsman in the game is so handsome, there are so many people who play swordsman!
But thinking of how Qin Mo would lose so many fellow students all the way to the finals, Shen He felt very refreshed. These more than a thousand people must be scumbags who gave the master a head to practice. Quantity is not the key, quality is the most important!
Although the Zhuge family is too difficult to operate, not many people play it, but there are many masters!
Shen He shook the mouse vigorously, and said: "The registration page says please wait for the notification in the game. The specific competition arrangement may not tell us until the registration is over?"
Qin Mo said: "Of course, with so many people signing up this time, the official will definitely have to create a program to automatically match opponents in the background. It is impossible to manually assign them. It will take time."
Shen He wished he could immediately go to the arena to compete with others, but upon hearing this, he could only helplessly say: "Oh, then just wait."
***
The waiting time became extremely long. During the registration period of more than ten days from November 11th to November 25th, Shen He went to the official website to refresh the registration interface every day, and notified his teammates in real time of the number of registrations for each school. At eight o'clock in the evening on the 25th, when the registration finally closed, while Shen He was reading the number of people, the official also posted a statistical Weibo——
The Hanhua Sword Sect had the most people, and the number of applicants for each category of the Long Sword and Short Swords unexpectedly exceeded 10,000.
Another school with a large player base is Luoyinggu. The Guqin school and the Yudi school each have more than 8,000 signups.
In addition, Fangcaotang Poison Master Stream, Tingyulou Black Umbrella Department, Eternal Night City Iron Claws, Daggers; Crazy Sword Sect's Double Swords and Big Swords; It's not big, there are seven thousand more, and five thousand less.
Relatively speaking, the Zhuge Family Trick Stream and the Xuanbing Palace Shuanghuan Stream have the least number of players, with only more than 3,000 applicants. The main reason is that these two genres are very difficult to operate, and the Zhuge Family Trick Stream has too many pets that are difficult to control. The double circulation of Xuanbing Palace is that the two-handed weapons are not easy to coordinate.
The official will try to achieve a data balance between the various genres, so as not to have an overwhelming advantage in the arena, but player balance is impossible for any game.
It's normal that there are few people playing the high-difficulty sects, and everyone expressed their delight at the number of applicants posted on the screenshots of the official website—a group arena with a total of more than 100,000 people can indeed be called a national competition.
If the official lowers the threshold so that people with less than 1,000 arena points can also sign up, the number is estimated to be doubled several times. After all, there are still a large number of dungeon party players in the game who don't like to play in the arena.
While releasing the final statistics of the number of applicants, the official website also released the announcement of the competition time - from November 25th to November 30th, all players who successfully registered can choose "The First Martial Arts Competition" when logging in to the game zone, familiarize yourself with the rules of the field, and test your home network. Once the game starts, disconnection will be automatically judged as a loss.
The server is divided into 14 sub-competition areas. Players who sign up for the competition can wait in the competition area that agrees with their own martial arts and weapons. After the match is completed, the system will automatically invite you to enter the competition room. Words that insult opponents are prohibited in the competition room. Once found, it will automatically be judged as a loser.
The opening hours of the game server are from 10:00 am to 22:00 pm every day. Each person must complete ten games a day, and the time can be arranged freely. After 22:00, the system will clear the record of the day, and those who win more than five out of ten games will enter the next round. Players who have not completed ten games or have not won enough games will be automatically eliminated. On the next day, the rule of ten wins and five games will continue until there are only sixteen players left in this genre, and then enter the rematch stage.
Shen He read the rules carefully, and couldn't help but excitedly said: "It seems that there are too many people signing up for this competition, and the officials can't appoint a referee, so the system will be the referee directly! That is to say, starting from December 1st, We only need to log in to the game server, wait for the system to assign opponents, and play ten games a day, right?"
Qin Mo nodded: "Well, the audition system assigns opponents to automatically determine the winner, there is no pressure, and the winning rate is 50%, I think you can do it."
As professional players, if they can't achieve a 50% winning streak in the audition stage with thousands of people, they can really kill themselves by ID!
