Elite? Selection
As soon as these words came out, many players suddenly thought of the "Thirty Seconds Real Men Club" that left with Black Star, and they were a little discouraged.
Could it be that Black Star meant to do this test again? But the concubine can't do it. If we can pass, we will fly to the sky side by side with you in 1.0!
"As long as you can pass the test of my soldiers and prove your strength, the door of the Black Star Mercenary Group will be opened for you..." Han Xiao explained it briefly, and then threw out the task that had already been set.
[[Selection of mercenaries]]
[Task introduction: The Black Star Mercenary Group is fighting in all directions in the interstellar space. The members are all strong. Only by successfully passing their test can they join Black Star and become an elite mercenary]
[Task requirements: Pass a battle test of any mercenary]
[Reward: 1 point of experience, the Black Star Mercenary Group camp is unlocked, the Black Star Mercenary Group relationship +100]
The player hurriedly read it again, and there was a lot of discussion.
"It turns out that Black Star did not choose the person himself."
"The form of the battle test is not described above. Is it a duel like before?"
Han Xiao winked, the mercenary behind him took out a large translucent screen that had already been prepared, and stood beside him, he pointed to the screen and said: "If you want to participate in the selection, just enter your information on it, Philip Each applicant will be given a number, which will show the selection battles in batches, pay attention to which one you participate in.”
The screen lights up, and a blue ring pattern appears in the center, with particles suspended around it, shaking slightly, and at the same time, the built-in speaker emits the sound of artificial intelligence.
"Black Star Artificial Intelligence Philip Buzz... Willing to serve you Buzz..."
Many players looked surprised and followed suit. They entered information such as name and occupation, and got a number representing their identity. Soon, a new interface was displayed at the top of the screen, indicating that a new selection was about to start. Participate in Players have hundreds of numbers and are going to the arena to take the test.
The above also shows that the mercenary who presided over this selection is Melos.
After researching for a while, players will understand the selection mechanism. This is not a one-to-one selection, but a one-to-many selection. A Black Star mercenary examines hundreds of players. What they have to do is to persist until a certain time limit. Once it arrives, if you don’t fall into a dying state, or if you still stay within the field, you will be considered to have passed the test and you can join Black Star and become the winner.
There are more than one selections at the same time. The number of participants is different, and the opponents in each game are different. Which Black Star mercenary will be encountered is random, and it is completely face-to-face. The most important point is that even if you lose the selection battle, the player can apply to Philip again, there is no limit, just like a challenge that can be continued.
Many players have no doubts about him, they are quite interesting and have high fighting spirit, and they have sent applications one after another.
Han Xiao decided to make selections in this way, and let the hundreds of mercenaries under his command help him assess players. Anyway, these mercenaries are idle. Instead of letting them waste time playing cards every day, it is better to find something to do for them, not only Save yourself energy and be more efficient.
The selection is just a formality. Of course, he knows the level of the player's current strength. Although the more players he recruits, the better, but it is impossible for a player to come over and say hello to me and let him join immediately. This is too simple. Now, of those better camps, which one does not have to meet the prerequisites to join. Setting up the selection is a clever way to make players feel that joining the mercenary group has a threshold and is challenging, and you can't just add it if you want.
He thought about it yesterday and decided to make the selection a daily activity in the eyes of a player. A mercenary selects dozens or hundreds of players at one time. The specific number of players is controlled by Philip, depending on the strength of the mercenary. Players are guaranteed to participate. The number of people is within the ability of the mercenary, and can be easily dealt with, and Philip who recorded the mercenary data will not make mistakes.
There are dozens or hundreds of players in each game, just like a chaotic match. In addition to dealing with bosses (mercenaries), they also have to cheat each other to ensure that they can stay until the end and become one of the final winners. , so there is competition.
In fact, Han Xiao’s initial idea was to have no mercenaries involved, let players choose by themselves, and gather batches of players to fight each other, similar to the battle royale mode, but in this case, the recruitment efficiency will be very low because there is no such kind of mercenary. Powerful external factors, each selection takes a long time, after all, there are more than one everywhere, and it is impossible to show the strength of Black Star mercenaries.
Moreover, this kind of beast-style selection may make some players feel disrespected, so Han Xiao finally chose the current mode and let his mercenaries preside over a test, which not only improves efficiency, but also acts as a lubricant. , to reduce the probability of player dissatisfaction, making selection less savage.
Players do not consume any resources to participate in the selection, and if they fail, they can wait for the lottery to re-challenge, which ensures that the threshold will not be too high, allowing players to have the opportunity to keep trying. At the same time, because at the current stage of the Alienization Disaster, players can only do one task of the Refuge, and the selection challenge is quite interesting and can be used as a transfer activity between tasks.
The venue for the selection is naturally the Refuge Arena built by him. The professional league was held here, but it is now vacant. It was taken back by Han Xiao and used by himself. Bennett and Huang Yu naturally have no opinion.
…
After ten minutes.
Thousands of players poured into the arena. This is the first selection battle. Even if there are no players who are in their turn, they choose to come and watch and see the specific process, so that they can have a good idea.
Herlous stood in the center of a large arena holding the ship-cutting knife. Hundreds of players were staring at him in all directions.
The onlookers were talking about it.
"The time limit is two minutes. After two minutes, you can join the Black Star mercenary group as long as you don't fall out of the arena or fall to the ground."
"Hundreds of people, it should be easy to support two minutes..."
"Simple? Don't be ridiculous, haven't you seen the Black Star series of Meat Bun videos? He is Melos, a powerful Black Star cadre. If you go down with a knife, this arena will be gone! Even if you haven't seen it. Video, you must have experienced the battle yesterday, didn't you see him sweeping through the herd?"
"I didn't see it, I'm dead."
Melos looked around, Han Xiao’s order was to let him release the water properly. If he did his best, two minutes would be enough for him to cut down all the participants. Most of these players were D-level, and only a small number reached level. This amount cannot make up for it. gap.
Looking at the crowds of power users, Melos' heart was fiery, and Black Star really didn't lie to him. There are really hundreds of thousands of power users here!
Sunil Star is suffering in the calamity. Han Xiao once promised to bring a crowd that is more terrifying than the calamity to solve Sunil's predicament. Melos has always believed in Han Xiao's promise. At this time, seeing the promise come true, He couldn't contain his excitement.
Counting the time silently, Melos held the ship-cutting knife and nodded.
"Selection starts buzzing..." Philip's voice echoed.
boom!
The next moment, most of the players rushed towards Melos, all kinds of attacks focused on fire, the number of people gave them confidence, they persisted for two minutes no matter what, they just felt that they could deal with Melos like a boss, and they outputted one after another.
Only a small number of players do not advance but retreat, hiding behind others.
Attacks came from all directions, Melos didn't change his face, he made a whirlwind slash, and the circular blade wave spread 360 degrees without dead ends, covering half of the arena, directly annihilating all long-range attacks, approaching martial arts players Unable to resist the aftermath, he was directly chopped off and fell to the edge of the ring, his HP instantly dropped by about 40%.
"Fuck, this aoe injury is terrifying!"
"It's so dangerous, I almost got hit."
The charging players suffered a big loss, their faces changed greatly, and a small number of players who dodged were outside the range of the slash, and they were lucky to escape.
Fortunately, we don't have a tough head, and we have a lot in our hearts.
For today's players, Melos' strength is completely crushing. Han Xiao has long guessed that players will definitely deal with the selection battle with a boss-fighting mentality at the beginning. In order to establish an invincible image in the hearts of players, and in the next few games, all the cadre-level members will be involved.
In the end, there was no suspense. Even if Melos released the water, the group of players was cut into pieces by him, one child with one knife.
Players have to change their rigid thinking, wandering wildly, obstructing the edge, surviving in chaos, and thieves are exciting.
Two minutes later, there were less than ten people left standing. Melos put away the knife, and the surviving player looked like he had just woken up from a dream.
"I, we won?!"
Hundreds of defeated players were full of envy and anger, and it was unreasonable for these few to win the grand prize!
Hundreds of participants, only less than ten people succeeded, the ratio is very low, but this was deliberately done by Han Xiao. At first, the pass rate was lowered, and it seemed that the successful ones were very rare, and then slowly let the mercenaries release more water. , to increase the pass rate.
"Congratulations on passing the test, Black Star welcomes you, and when you go to Interstellar and register with the Mercenary Alliance, you are an official mercenary."
Melos stretched out his hand and shook hands with the survivors one by one. This was Han Xiao’s request, reflecting differential treatment.
These people were elated and found that the faction panel was activated. You can browse the faction store without going to Black Star, and the things inside are no longer gray. Although there is no Inar who can't buy anything, the colorful interface is at least Much better than a grey one.
Only these few people's [Mercenary Selection] task was settled, and they got 100 faction contribution points. They have seen the video of Meat Bun and know that the 100-point faction relationship below the [Friendly] relationship can be purchased with 50 Inal points. I feel like I earned 50 Inar!
Several people were immediately overjoyed.
The onlookers were really envious. They keenly grasped a message and heard Melos say "Go to Interstellar".
"That is to say, as long as we pass the test, we can leave with Black Star after the Seablue Star story ends?"
"You guessed right, Black Star is the guide who took us to the interstellar version 2.0!"
Players have bright eyes, eager to move, and can't wait to participate in the selection.
The next selections were carried out step by step, and Han Xiao did not keep staring.
Because there are so many players, in the schedule set by Han Xiao, there will be many selections every day, and a batch of selection battles will be held every 20 minutes. It is estimated that one or two thousand people will be selected every hour, 40,000 to 50,000 people will participate in one day, and the pass rate is temporarily controlled at about 5%.
There are hundreds of thousands of players in the sanctuary, and every player has a chance. This activity can be carried out for a long time. After all, the selection battle is not lacking in fun. I always felt that this kind of illusion greatly facilitated his plan, allowing players to take the initiative to jump into his pit.
"A few days after getting used to it, players will become accustomed to the existence of the selection battle. When they are on the right track, they will slowly increase the pass rate. I don't have to worry about it."
Regarding the faction's plan, Han Xiao also prepared a lot of methods. When it is not time to use it, the selection is just the beginning.
Moreover, the difficulty of the selection challenge created a need for players to increase their strength in the short term, which can also increase their own sales. He didn't know how many birds were killed by this stone.
…
From early morning to sunset, people came and went in the square, and it was noisy all day long, and Han Xiao was ready to call it a day.
At the end of the day, his experience gains crossed the billion mark.
"A total of 1.29 billion experience, I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time..." Han Xiao exhaled, feeling satisfied. The last time he gained experience on such a large scale was when he left Seablue Star two years ago. It felt like a long drought. Every rain.
"This experience is enough to upgrade to level 120, and there is still some surplus."
I opened the panel and was about to invest in experience upgrades when a rumbling sound of airflow suddenly sounded in the sky.
Looking up, I saw a new spaceship slowly descending. This was the spaceship he sent out to pick up Crazy Blade and others, and it finally arrived at the station.
laugh
The hatch opened, and fifty players including Crazy Blade, Meat Bun, and Haotian jumped out with jetpacks and landed in the square.
Most of the players in the square knew this group of professional high-level players, and they all looked at them with a look of surprise.
"Yo, you are back too."
Many people greeted them and they were very enthusiastic. This group of high-level players performed well in the professional league and were quite popular. They hadn't seen these professional players for a long time.
