So Tai Lun inexplicably took another day off, and directly accumulated 3 points. He watched the other two games in the first round of the semi-finals by the way.
Those who can reach this point are already national level players, apart from him and Geng Chen, the remaining four are: Holy Knight, ID "Wangyou", former national player, the highest ranking is 24th.
Druid, ID "Meow Meow", a new player in the Bichon Frize area.
A person with supernatural powers, ID "Xiaode", former national contestant, the highest ranking is 47th.
Hacker, ID "Ripu", former national player, the highest ranking is 33rd.
The morning of this day is paladins vs. hackers, and in the afternoon it's supernatural beings vs. druids. After this round, the second round will start the next day. The time is extremely tight.
Tai Lun and Victor changed their appearance and watched the game together.
Overall the game was pretty exciting.
There is also an episode in the middle, because the IDs of the druid and the superhuman are "Meow Meow" and "Xiaode" respectively, so the two commentaries are cute throughout.
Female commentator: "Meow Meow Meow is dangerous Meow Meow Meow!"
Male commentator: "No, Xiaode must have a backup..."
Female commentator: "Xiaode's blood line is critical, and if he doesn't come out, he won't be able to get it out!"
Male commentator: "I didn't say Druid, I meant Druid!" (The profession of Druid is referred to as "Druid" for short)
Female commentator: "Meow meow?"
Everyone: "..."
The audience was dying of laughter, Victor was trembling all over, grabbing Tyron's arm and holding back.
Tai Lun didn't smile at first. He looked up at the game, turned his head to look at Victor, and was suddenly amused. He stretched out his hand and scratched Victor's palm.
"Pfft!" Victor finally burst out laughing, the ends of his hair were shaking.
Tai Lun turned back to watch the game, stretched out his hand without looking sideways, and messed up his hair.
Victor was shaken to and fro, and he simply tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder, and said amusedly, "This supernatural being... has great abilities."
Tai Lun also circled the two professions of "hacker" and "supernatural person" in his heart, mainly because he did not have enough experience in fighting them. These two professions are also unique to the interstellar era.
Generally speaking, the hacker profession fights by giving "instructions". These instructions can be given in two ways: voice and hand typing. Tyron regards it as an alternative mage who only needs to sing or gesture.
It's just that the hacker's instructions are quite wonderful. It can hack the player's model—suddenly transform into a sheep, it can change the terrain of a unit—a ten-square-meter ocean can suddenly grow in the desert, and it can also Hack your opponent's or your own weapons—daggers into maces, sticks into pistols, whatever.
In short, the instructions are all kinds of strange and all-encompassing.
But the hacker also has the biggest weakness, that is, his instructions are visible to the opponent, and basically consist of English, with occasional programming languages.
As for Tai Lun, he had been blessed by the gods and knew all languages.
So he put the threat level of hackers slightly behind those with abilities.
Ability user is the profession that Victor said "great ability".
The ability user with the ID "Xiaode" focuses on plant-based abilities. He can grow vines from every part of his body, and these plants are also judged as his body parts, that is to say: he can grow Vine, and vines grow on vines.
The speed of the plants is not fast, and it is impossible for a vine to sweep across like a whip, but there are so many vines that cannot resist it. When they are intertwined, it is equivalent to a fortress that firmly protects the supernatural beings in the innermost part.
This fortress is still a moving fortress. Once the vines are able to grab the opponent for a moment, the rest of the vines will immediately wrap around him, restraining him tightly, and then the supernatural being will make the final blow...
Female commentator: "Oh, Miao Miao Miao is going to be gone."
Sure enough, the supernatural user won the match in the end, and the druid turned into white light amidst the entanglement of countless vines, struggling helplessly.
When the two contestants returned to the stage, the audience was swiping: "Tentacle Monster 66666"
Tyron noticed the nickname and asked Victor, "What does the tentacle monster mean?"
Victor blushed blushing, and said, "It means that the ability is great..."
Tyron: "???"
Although he still didn't understand the actual meaning, seeing Victor's reaction, he realized that the "tentacle monster" should be a very dirty thing.
Those who can make a child in the interstellar age blush must be extraordinarily dirty.
The afternoon match ended at around three o'clock, and there was supposed to be an Odin VS Gengchen match, but Gengchen had already abstained, so it was temporarily changed.
After sitting for a while, they saw the new points ranking:
Ability user "Xiaode", 4 points.
Assassin "Odin", 3 points.
Paladin "Wangyou", 3 points.
Hacker "Rip", 1 point.
Elemental dancer "Gengchen", 0 points.
Druid "Meow Meow", 0 points.
The system listed the list for the next round: Assassin Odin VS supernatural person Xiaode, paladin Wangyou VS druid Meow Miaomiao, hacker Ripu VS elemental dancer Gengchen.
Therefore, Odin's match will be tomorrow morning, and it will be against this "great ability" "tentacle monster".
Victor: "…"
Tai Lun had watched some videos of supernatural beings before, and watched two more to ponder when he had nothing to do at night.
At this time, Victor said nervously: "Let's replace the leather armor and cloak with mail armor! Steel armor! No, how about we change into spacesuits?"
"..." Tyron said, "You want me to change my job to fight mummy?"
Victor was full of fear: "That's a tentacle monster! Tentacle monster!"
Tyron: "What are you afraid of?"
Victor: "Get out!!!"
Tyron: "..."
On this day, Old Antique went online to study tirelessly, and finally learned a brand new gesture that was completely unattainable: tentacle play.
On the second day, for the first time, Old Antique felt an indescribable strange feeling of "I can't look directly at my opponent".
The two contestants shook hands amid the cheers of the audience, and the superhuman "Xiaode" smiled friendly, showing his eight teeth.
This smile was normal when Tai Lun watched it from the audience yesterday; but today he suddenly felt full of taint, and Victor's "tentacle monster" echoed infinitely in his mind.
Tai Lun: "..." I was actually spoiled by my love.
While the system was drawing a random map, he also took a look at the public screen.
The public screen at the moment: "Rainy day picture! Rainy day picture! Rainy day picture! Let it rain, Dad!"
"Hey hee hee hee, the number one beauty in the e-sports circle VS the number one tentacle monster, I excitedly took out my camera..."
"Don't rain don't rain don't rain..."
The last comment, which is a bit out of place, should come from Victor. That's right.
Soon a random map will come out: Crocodile Swamp.
In the auditorium, the Rainy Day Cult let out a burst of desperate boos...
You can tell what kind of map it is by looking at the name. Basically, the whole map is a swamp, and there is only a gravel path in the middle, which is relatively safe. There are vegetation floating above many swamps, and it is almost impossible to judge whether you can step on it at first glance. There are active crocodile creatures in some swamps. Of course, these crocodiles are not a threat to e-sports players, but once they are dragged by a crocodile for a second or two, they will easily fall into a disadvantage for the game.
Male commentator: "Oh, this map has a big advantage for Xiaode."
Female commentator: "On the contrary, it is very difficult for Odin to fight. First, there is not enough cover, second, there is no completely safe foothold, and third, the opponent is very suitable for playing this map."
Male commentator: "Some viewers may not know why plant-type supernatural beings are easy to play in the swamp map. In fact, it is because they can easily float in the swamp... Even if they can't, they are also the kind of occupation that can stand still when they stand still. Don't worry about stepping into the swamp and struggling for a long time."
The swamp is indeed a tricky environment for the master assassin. He recalled this map in his mind and realized that he must make a quick decision.
The opponent is the kind of player who is good at constantly developing vines. Once the game time is too long, his defense system in the close position has a chance to improve.
When teleporting into the map, the two players were standing at one end of the winding stone path, and two well-camouflaged crocodiles could be seen peeping from the side of the road.
As soon as the countdown was over, Tyron did one thing first: take off his cloak.
—The cloak can only get in the way in the swamp, and the hood is the same, so I don't want it at all.
His actions elicited a small burst of screaming from the audience.
But at this time, the first thing the opponent Xiaode did was more natural: vines sprouted from his feet, and he took the lead in forming an advantageous tool for moving on the swamp, and he stepped directly into the swamp... Slightly shaking, but steady Living!
Male commentator: "Druid knows how to use his own advantage, he went straight into the swamp, Odin had to step into it if he wanted to fight him close, and just stepping into it was a risk for him. "
At this time, Tai Lun was already running quickly on the gravel path.
Except for flashes, he has rarely shown his running speed. This time he ran really let the audience relive the explosive speed of the year.
Just a few seconds later, Tai Lun was already within 20 meters of Xiaode who stepped on a piece of green phytoplankton, and he threw out a piece of dart first!
Female commentator: "Odin made a tentative attack. Xiaode's current situation is that the movement speed is extremely slow, and the darts are almost half hit, but—"
Male commentator: "Xiaode has turned on the vegetable skin, which reduces projectile damage by 50%. It is simply an immovable fortress."
At this point, the hearts of the audience have already begun to rise: Seeing that Odin is about to reach the end of the gravel road, will he take the risk of choosing a foothold to fight? Or use remote harassment tactics? Or will Xiaode, who is gaining the upper hand, seize the opportunity first
Then the next second, they saw a flash!
