On the 20th of March, at midnight, the registration for S3 ended on time.

Most of the teams had already submitted their applications N days ago, and the last team to register had completed their applications on the day of the 19th. The kind of team that waited until 11 p.m. On the 19th to acc.u.mulate enough hidden points to sign up did not exist.

At 10:10 am, all the partic.i.p.ating players received a system notification informing them of the number of teams and their matching status in the first round.

There were a total of 26705 teams that had successfully pa.s.sed the hidden points threshold and signed up for the compet.i.tion.

Hence, in the first round, there would be 26704 teams competing against each other, of which 13352 would be eliminated, and one lucky team that didnt have to fight would advance to the next round with the remaining 13352 teams.

The match would start a day later, at midnight on the 21st. After the first round was over, they would rest for a day. At midnight on the 22nd, the officials would announce the next rounds matchups, and then the second round would begin on the 23rd.

Every round after that would follow the same rules and so on until the champion was decided.

Putting aside the free-for-all factor, if he wanted to win the champions.h.i.+p He needed to win 15 matches in a row within a 30-day cycle. On the other hand, if they lost any of the matches before they reached the fifteenth round, they would be eliminated.

In terms of the compet.i.tion system, this kind of elimination compet.i.tion was randomly matched, so there was no need to calculate points, and there was no way to predict the advancement route in advance. This saved a lot of trouble for the data teams of many Studios.

Of course, their intelligence a.n.a.lysis work could not stop. Even if their next opponent was a team of nameless casual players, they could not be careless. They still had to check No matter what, their hidden points were over 500, so they could not be weak.

On the evening of the 20th, in the meeting room of Xu Huai Shang.

The frontline of h.e.l.l was ready to go.

[Please note that the first round of the tournament will begin in ten minutes (game time).]

At this moment, everyone received a voice message and a dialog box.

This was because the time ratio in sleep mode was 1:10, so when the time in the real world was 11:59, the players in the game world received this message.

One minute after the game time, another system message appeared: [Captain, please submit the lineup of your team in the next nine minutes. If you dont submit the relevant information within the specified time, the teams lineup will be randomly arranged by the system.]

Hmm Feng bujue heard that and sighed. He scanned his teammates and said,then, Ill hand it in according to the plan we discussed earlier.

He quickly received confirmation from his teammates, and then submitted the list of players for the first round.

[Vanguard battle: snow]

Mid-to-tough battle: [w.a.n.g Tanzhi][laughing soul]

[General battle: ]

Vice-general battle: [pa.s.sing rain][flowerbed on stone]

Battle of generals: Feng bujue

Because h.e.l.ls frontline was facing a team of nameless casual players in the first round, the strength and characteristics of each member were unknown, so brother Jue used a more stable and regular formation for this battle.

According to Feng bujues a.n.a.lysis, a casual players team would usually have two types of formation. The first type was the conventional balanced type, which was to fight from the weakest to the strongest to ensure that there was a stable combat power in every battle. The other type was top-heavy, foot-light, which was to send out the third, second, and strongest lineup in the first three matches to fight with a score of 3:0.

From a tactical point of view, the top-heavy arrangement was obviously more sneaky. If the opponent had a conventional balance formation, it was likely to be suppressed by this Tianjis horse-racing style.

However, this chicken-stealing tactic naturally came with a corresponding risk. If there was a mishap in any of the first three matches, then the top-heavy team would basically be declared finished. This was because the people they arranged in the last two matches were the weakest, and they would definitely not be able to deal with the enemys strong players who were responsible for holding the line.

In addition, it was also very likely that there would be a situation where two top-heavy teams would meet. In that case, it would be no different from two conventional balanced confrontation.

In the most extreme case There might even be a third formation that specifically targeted top-heavy and light-footed teams. That was to place the strongest formation on ones side in the first round and defeat the third strongest formation of the top-heavy and light-footed team. Then, they would mess it up in the second and third rounds, and in the fourth and fifth rounds, they would use the second and third strongest formations to defeat the weakest two formations of the other side.

All in all, in a situation where the strength of both teams was similar, the difference in formation could indeed determine the outcome of the battle, and the game in this game Not only relied on psychological warfare, but also wisdom and luck were also very important.

Feng bujue was a cautious person. He placed the Xu Huai Shang in the key position of partic.i.p.ating in the battle because he had thought it through Even if there was a one in a billion chance, today they had encountered an unknown hidden team, the entire team was top tier players, and they had a head-heavy and feet-light formation. They had defeated frontline h.e.l.l in the first and second match Then, it did not matter much.

Because in the entire Thriller Paradise, the number of people who had a chance of winning against Xu Huai Shang in a one-on-one fight could be counted on one hand. Brother Jue knew all of them, and they were not in todays opponent team.

With this in mind Even in the worst case scenario, the chances of them winning were still more than 50%.

In fact, the worst case scenario had already arrived for the h.e.l.l frontline opponents when they saw the first match list.

How could there be so many hidden experts in this world? They were just a team with an average hidden score of around 75. They had a few friends to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, so they were quite enthusiastic at first. However, when they saw that their opponent was the last champion, their mood That feeling It really lived up to the saying die before you start, make the hero cry. If not for the fact that they had the chance to fight G.o.ddess Xu, these people would have given up.

Ten minutes pa.s.sed by quickly. At midnight, the systems voice sounded,[the match is about to begin, please prepare to teleport.]

A ten-second countdown followed, and when the system finished, the players disappeared from the conference room.

This could be said to be a major reform implemented in this compet.i.tion.

In the past, the players would have to return to their own electric elevator before they could be teleported to any scenario, but this time, they could teleport in the conference room.

Unfortunately They did not usually support such a service.

[Tournament of the best S3, first round]

[Venue: Sallu game venue]

Compared to the previous two compet.i.tions, the loading voice was much simpler this time. Snow was already standing in the ring when he finished speaking.

It was a square ring with a side length of more than 30 meters. It was made of many square bricks that were one meter in size. There was a pillar at each of the four corners of the ring. The shape of the pillar was similar to a Knights spear in the West, but it was many times thicker than a real Knights spear.

The surroundings of the arena were basically a wasteland. There were only undulating hills and some weeds as far as the eye could see. The sky was blue and white clouds, and the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly.

[You have entered spectator mode]

A few seconds later, other than the two fighters in the first battle, everyone else heard the notification.

At this time, the members of the two teams were sent to two transparent rectangular containers. These two cubes were suspended in the air on both sides of the field, just enough to watch the battle on the ring from a birds eye view.

[Note: the spectator area and the battlefield are not in the same dimension. Players in the battlefield can not communicate with their teammates in the spectator area in any form.]

This meant that the person who was fighting couldnt see, hear, or touch this transparent cube. Therefore, those who were in the cube didnt need to try to help their teammates by shouting or other means.

[The match will begin in 30 seconds.]

Immediately after, the system gave the next prompt.

In the ring, snow and his opponent, Raider, were also rubbing their hands, ready to fight.

The 30-second preparation time was useful. During this time, the two players who partic.i.p.ated in the battle would be separated by a transparent barrier. Whether it was the players themselves or any other object, it was definitely impossible to pa.s.s through the barrier, but It was possible to use this time to release some skills in advance. This was especially so for players like snow who specialized in machinery and summoning. These 30 seconds were extremely precious.

Snows brain was not slow, and he instantly understood the meaning of preparation time. As soon as the system finished speaking, he took out a pile of materials from his bag and started tinkling with them with his [sandbox resident hammer] and [WJQ-308 military shovel].

Although his summoning skills were not bad, his main focus was still machinery. The only pa.s.sive skill he had equipped was [spirit of the craftsman], which had a special effect of improving the various abilities of the machinerys specialized creations and increasing the speed of production of these kinds of creations.

In less than half a minute, snow had created something from a pile of metals, spare parts, binding glue, and some strange materials.

[Name: construction: King of mountain roads]

Skill Card attribute: active skill, permanent

Skill Type: Machine

[Effect: create a high-performance Land vehicle for carrying people]

[Consumption: 5 stamina points lost every 10 seconds during the manufacturing process, no less than 10 kilograms of metal, no less than 5 connecting parts, other parts can be added as required]

Learning requirement: workmans.h.i.+p A

[Note: I have a friend who runs a car repair shop. Every time he finishes repairing a car for someone, he will have a small box of parts that he doesnt know how to put back.

One day, I told him that when he had acc.u.mulated enough parts, he would be able to build a new car.

Thus, he really began to store those parts. One day, he finally collected enough parts, and then He was arrested.

Thats why Ive always said that there are risks in modifying cars.

[Yingluo is a low-key old driver.]

Although this skill looked average, it had a lot of room for manipulation and potential in actual use.

Under the premise of satisfying the consumption of skills, snow could make something smaller such as skateboards, unicycles, and bicycles. The bigger ones could be cars, sports cars, or trucks; Bigger ones could be tanks, magnetic levitation trains, mobile fortresses

This skill didnt have any cooldown time limit. As long as he had enough energy and materials, he could start building at any time. He could build as big as he wanted, and he could also complete the same thing several times.

Right now, snow had used 20 seconds to create an exquisitely designed motorcycle.

[Five Four Three ]

When there were only five seconds left before the start of the battle, the systems voice began the countdown. At this time, snow had already mounted the motorcycle, facing the opposite direction of his opponent And started the engine.

Brother Lei with the ID [King Raider] was also dumbfounded.This guy Is he preparing to escape?

[TwoOne Fight!]

With the word Fight, the barrier between the two of them disappeared. However, two seconds before the barrier disappeared, snow had already run away on his bike

It could be said that he fully understood the meaning of the 30-second rule Why did the system only set up a barrier between the two players but not restrict them from going to the area behind them? It was very simple. It was to give players who used stealth ambush or long-range sniping as their combat styles, as well as those who wanted to use other roundabout tactics, some time to open up a distance.

Of course, even though the battlefield was huge, it still had a limit. Moreover, the pa.s.sive game rule was still in effect. Without these two restrictions, the side with the advantage in movement ability would be running endlessly towards the sunset, and the game would be endless.

This Looking at Snows disappearing back, King Reid thought,I didnt expect this

He just stood there, waiting in a daze. It wasnt that he didnt want to chase, but he really couldn t.

Raider King was a very traditional player who specialized in fighting. His combat power was not bad, but he had a weakness Which was his slow speed. He might not even be able to catch up to a person, let alone a car.

Hmm He wont be judged as a pa.s.sive player, right? Looking at the stunned figures on the stage, Xiao Tan could not help but Mutter in the spectator s.p.a.ce.

If you want to judge, you should judge the one who turned around and ran away, not the one who stood still. Feng bujue added.

Thats right. Ling added,its obviously disadvantageous to chase an opponent whos using a vehicle on foot. Even if you can catch up, youll consume a lot of energy. Therefore, it is a very correct decision and response for the other party to stay in place. If this is considered a pa.s.sive game, it would be unfair.

As they were conversing, King Raider had already sat down and muttered,Phew Ill wait here then. Youre the one who ran away first, so youll come back eventually. If you dont do anything, youll be the first to be judged as a pa.s.sive gamer

His idea was not wrong, but Snow, who was planning to build a missile silo, did not seem to need to come back
