The next day, the two of them went to the central area to participate in the opening ceremony of the provincial competition.
The five-day opening ceremony has been going on for two days, and on the third day, besides the program, there is also an exhibition game in the afternoon.
The entry ticket reads: Untouchable VS Mysterious Contestant.
Victor said: "It seems that this mysterious contestant generally has two conditions: first, he must be a person in the national competition, and he will not participate in the provincial competition behind here; second, he must be born in the second-star province. "
Tai Lun was not curious about this gimmick, and said, "It's just for fun."
Victor showed admiration in his eyes, and thought: Tsk tsk tsk, my husband watches any level of competition for "just to have fun"! !
The two of them bought two barrels of popcorn and sat in the middle seat with two bottles of Coke as if they were watching a movie.
After the opening ceremony, the stages of the real and virtual worlds will merge.
In the real world, the stage and auditorium in the virtual scene will be holographically projected above the head; while in the virtual scene, the scene of the real world will also be projected. The two sides seem to synthesize the same sphere, which perfectly surrounds the center of the field.
The center of the venue is a virtual scene. This time the hosts are four well-known stars from the third-star province, each with their own characteristics.
Finally they announced: "We invite our mysterious guest to appear!"
Walking up with the music was a young man in his twenties, wearing a classic Robinson feather hat, holding a lollipop in his mouth, and waving to the audience.
Audience: "Yeah!"
The screams reached a boiling point in an instant.
Victor tilted his head and leaned on Tyron's shoulder.
Tyron reached out and covered his ears for him.
Neither of them knew this "mysterious guest". After looking at each other for a while, Victor said, "Who is this?"
Tai Lun said: "I don't know, let's watch the fun."
Victor let out an "oh", reached out to grab the popcorn to eat, and then fed Tyron a handful.
This mysterious guest, nicknamed "Secret Hand", ID is: Fando.
Not only is he from the second star province, he also happens to be from the Earth region.
He is the first Conferred God Assassin player in the Earth region, and he is famous for his "many skills that seem like a bottomless pit".
Ever since he became famous, his winning rate has remained high. He has advanced all the way from the Earth Regional Competition to the National Finals, and last year he won the third place in the country, narrowly losing to the runner-up Pastor Kyushu by one point.
It has been nine years since his debut, but he has suddenly become famous only in the last two years, becoming "the pride of the earth area" at a comet-like speed.
Although it was useless, Tyron still didn't know him.
Tai Lun and Victor sat under the stage and started watching movies leisurely.
An exhibition match is an exhibition match, and it looks very good-looking, but in fact there is not much technical content, just to satisfy the audience's eye addiction.
Tai Lun observed for a while, and then said to Victor: "This mage is as good as before, and the ranking is not high?"
Victor took out the game introduction and said: "Well, he didn't play in the national competition. It said that he is the most promising dark horse this year. The rookie king is the newly named God of War in Tian'e District..."
Tai Lun hummed, and said, "It's kind of interesting. Fando used three points of strength, and this dump still has his hole cards. If he goes to the national competition, he can still pose a threat to Fando."
"I'm not convinced." Victor said, "The rookie Wang is obviously you."
"I'm not new," Tyron said.
Victor was right when he thought about it: it would be too bullying to classify Tai Lun as a "newcomer"! Which rookie has such a wealth of practical experience and such a strong strategic awareness
When the popcorn was exhausted, the exhibition match reached its climax.
Fando took out one of his famous skills: "staggered kite step", while accurately calculating the magic range of the enemy mage, while freely entering and leaving the range, he blocked the opponent's play just right.
But the mage put his hands together slightly, calling out the water and fire elements in his palms, borrowing the water vapor arranged earlier, and shot a steam explosion with an amazing effect.
At this time, Tai Lun suddenly said "Huh?"
Victor asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Tai Lun said thoughtfully: "This evocation spell is a bit interesting."
As soon as the words fell, the steam explosion covered everything in the center of the venue, and the steamed clouds spontaneously formed the shape of a pentagram, and soon spread into the shape of a firework, before finally dissipating invisible.
The audience exclaimed in amazement: "It's so beautiful!" "Coach, I want to learn this spell too!" "Is there really such a spell or is it self-defined?"
At this time, Tai Lun said firmly: "It is self-defined, this mage uses skills."
This time Victor was very curious and asked, "Do you know spells? I remember that the process of spell release is completely different from melee skills. Most melee players don't understand spells at all..."
"If you don't know spells, how can you tell them in battle?" Tai Lun smiled and said, "At a critical moment, if you mistake acupuncture for fireball, it will kill you."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously recalling some past events in his youth, even if this kind of experience is only once, it is enough to be thrilling, but when he said it, it seemed that he just mentioned it casually.
Victor thought for a while and said, "Well, there are so many spells, what if you can't recognize them all?"
Tai Lun said: "It took a long time to recognize everything in the past, but now there are a lot more, that is, I have to recite it all over again."
Victor was very distressed, and then he committed a bully.
After returning, Victor began to investigate from the evocation mage "Still Covered", and gradually understood what kind of system spells in e-sports are.
As mentioned earlier, spells consist of three parts: chant, gestures, and materials. Each part is very complex.
And what Tai Lun said about "recognition of spells" is also one of the basic skills of melee players (although no one can memorize them all). They need to combine the first few syllables of the mage's chanting and the first gesture of the hand to recognize which spell the mage is casting.
Victor watched and recorded: Chanting determines the attributes of the spell, gestures determine the structure of the spell, and materials can provide additional bonuses to the spell.
For example, a fireball technique: the chanting is a 2-segment (that is, 6 bars, 3 seconds) fire attribute spell; and the corresponding gestures are two gestures representing "cohesion" and "orbit"; if further adding casting materials " "Dragonfly Wings" allows this fireball to automatically search for enemies.
If you want to customize a steam explosion that grows in the shape of a pentagram: first, the mage needs to iteratively calculate the amount of water and fire elements used, and the 2-stage chant is 6 syllables, and iterates 6 times to get the final value; then the mage needs to To construct the three-dimensional model of this spell, water is a dodecahedron, and fire is a tetrahedron. Based on the values calculated above, stable and effective modeling is carried out; finally, the model is expressed by selection or gesture.
This involves precise numerical analysis, equation calculation, three-dimensional geometry... If you want to add spell-casting materials, you must also add chemical equations!
So mage players all need the "wisdom" attribute, this is not just for fun!
In the Western Fantasy world, a person's intelligence must be at least 18 to become an official mage, and we often say that geniuses with an IQ of 130 and accounting for 1% of all human beings are actually only 16 points of wisdom.
Victor: "... this is very complicated!"
Xueba can roll up his sleeves, hold a pen in his right hand to record, and press the keyboard with his left hand to write code...
After one night, he brought a stack of papers and put them in front of Tai Lun.
Tyron: "..."
Victor raised his tail to claim the credit and said: "It's too late for a detailed analysis, but I have summed it up. I have summed up the first three syllables and gestures of all spells, and memorizing them according to my list can reduce the work by 80%." quantity!"
Tai Lun picked up a piece of paper, pondered over the above formula for a long, long time, and then said, "How long do you think it will take to learn interstellar arithmetic to this level?"
Victor said proudly: "Cultivated from childhood, 16 years!"
Tyron said: "That's why I didn't become a mage." Although the bloodline of the moon elf royal family is very close to magic, every generation of moon elf kings is known to be a master of spells...or it can be said, Elves are very qualified as mages.
Half of his blood comes from elves, but he still walks the way of an assassin.
Victor asked inexplicably: "But, but... can't you memorize them all?"
Tai Lun put down the paper with a blank face, crossed his fingers, and said deeply: "I don't like mathematics. You can memorize it, but it will never count."
The hopeless little fan thought obsessively in his heart: My male god is so straightforward! so cute! Ahhh, I'm so cute!
After being cute, the hopeless Xueba naturally continued to think: I want to help the male god prepare for the competition.
The next day, when Tai Lun opened the door, he backed up abruptly.
He saw that his little fan had changed their room number to: ￥@&*@￥%! @￥%! #%…
Don't doubt, this string of garbled characters is the mathematical formula in the eyes of the master assassin.
Tyron: "..."
Tai Lun walked heavily to the restaurant, and saw "￥@… @#%!#￥" on the refrigerator, and the ingredient list on the drink was posted as "!#￥!#￥!(&%".
After a while, Victor served breakfast gently, and said: "The first round is about to begin. There are 6 mages among the 15 people in Group C. Please recite the spells! You can't be lazy and don't recite spells." !"
Tai Lun looked down and saw "@#%@￥%!@#￥%" written on the poached eggs on the plate.
Old Antique Master Assassin: "…"
—Where is my gentle little fanboy? What about Xiao Ke who blushes when poked, shy when teased, and forgets to be angry when coaxed? ! ! How could mine be so uncute!
