At this moment, in the valley.
A young man was sitting cross-legged next to the vortex black hole of the demon refining array.
Looking at the continuously rotating black hole, he seemed a little dazed.
Not because I was thinking about something, but...
This job is so damn busy.
In this world, he has no name, only a code name.
No. 285.
This code name has been used since my internship period.
During his internship, his performance was not very good.
Halfway through the mission, he encountered a new player who kicked him out of the dungeon, although he was also considered a half-newcomer at that time.
Fortunately, his immediate superior was a relative of his, and he was able to cover up the matter.
Eventually, he was helped to successfully join the Right Heart Faction and become an official member.
"But this is my first job after becoming a full member... it's too boring."
Looking up at the sky, No. 285 sighed.
They said that it needed to be guarded, but it turned out that no one would come to this remote place where no one lived.
I'm used to smelling those stinky things every day.
I even feel that this is the smell of the air.
I have been sitting here for a whole year.
The total time I was away was probably less than ten days.
When I think about the fact that only less than forty days have passed outside, I feel a little painful.
"Hey, what are you talking to yourself about?"
At this moment, an inadvertent accusation .
"No, nothing."
“Cheer up!”
"Okay, senior."
After being scolded, he shrugged.
If this demon refining formation is left unattended and allowed to run on its own, the efficiency of transforming evil demons will be extremely low.
It takes someone working together internally to significantly improve efficiency.
However, No. 285 also has a lot of complaints about this.
The guys inside can take shifts every once in a while.
During rest time, you are completely free and can go to the city to enjoy various entertainment activities. As long as you come back to work on time, that's fine.
Look, the last batch of a dozen people just left three days ago, and they are probably eating, drinking and having fun somewhere now.
I am the only newcomer who needs to guard here day and night.
It is even called a new round of tests.
It's just bullying the newcomers!
Next time I meet my uncle, I’ll see if he will complain!
It's so annoying.
Thinking of this, No. 285 wanted to throw a grenade into the cave, so that they would all die and have to return the money.
[Wuhu Lake]
It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a shout from above his head.
"Huh?"
I looked up hastily, but couldn't see clearly because the sunlight was against my sight.
Why does it feel like an electric car or a motorcycle... is flying?
Sitting for a long time has made him numb.
The so-called vigilance and defense, in fact, has long lost all vigilance.
Just because of this distraction, the thing falling from the sky has fallen down and fallen into the black hole.
Then……
Boom boom boom!!!
…
[Expel 1 player, number xxxxxx] xN
[Tracing the target's whereabouts] xN
[If it is judged as a violation, you will get corresponding points] xN
One after another, prompt panels popped up densely in Shi Li's retina.
"Wow, you really got it right."
“There are a lot of people in this black hole.”
He looked at the nameless sword spirit and sighed.
These guys must be the Laozi right-minded faction, there is no doubt about it.
Gathering a crowd to create evil spirits is not a crime that can be proven without any evidence.
I don't know how many points I can get from a guy like this.
And how many points can be exchanged for good things.
He still knew too little about the current rules for managers.
[The auras of the evil demons and aliens have all disappeared...]
[What kind of tricks are you using? They are so powerful]
The nameless sword spirit was also sighing.
"Come on, let's go down and take a walk."
"See if it can trigger any memories for you."
Shi Li waved his hand and asked the Flying Sword Immortal to take him down the valley.
【good】
The nameless sword spirit nodded and floated down immediately after him.
So, under the protection of three followers, Shi Li and the nameless sword spirit began to stroll in the valley.
Any remnants along the way were all cleared away in advance by the scavengers who were leading the way far ahead, so they could not disturb them.
[I remember... the mountain walls here used to be covered with moss]
[My master and I made a bet that the loser had to lick off a piece of the tongue until the tongue coating turned completely green]
[In that small cave over there, it seems that a pair of little spirit insects, father and son, lived there at that time]
【Later, everything changed】
[This place has become one of the bases for alien visitors]
[My master and I came to investigate, but we were ambushed]
[Dozens of powerful evil demons besieged me, but I cut them all off]
【later……】
[I can’t remember it later]
I can't remember his face or his name.
For some reason, the other person in the nameless sword spirit's memory is so vague.
He could clearly remember some details of their time together, but he just forgot the other person.
"Whether it's a man or a woman, a human or a demon, you can always tell them apart, right?"
This answer made Shi Li a little disappointed.
There is no information at all, how can I find it myself?
[This... I don't know either]
[But revisiting the old place did bring back many scenes to my mind]
[Perhaps I can find some places where we once fought side by side, which can remind me of something]
[No, I think I remembered a few places]
The nameless sword spirit finally said this.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Ancient Battlefield Trail (1/1)]
【Current task progress】
[Phase 3 (1): Find 41/73 sword fragments for the nameless sword spirit]
[Phase 3 (2): Find 1/5 of the former owner of the nameless sword spirit]
[Successfully opened the double progress bar]
[Obtain A-level material card, Blade and Soul Memories ]
"Um?!"
This sudden task reminder made Shi Li stunned.
There is already an additional gold-edged material card in my mind.
Its projection is a mass of unknown bubbles.
[Blade and Soul Memories]: Can awaken or give some Blade and Soul cards instincts
This time he learned his lesson and doesn't plan to use it recklessly again.
But then again, this task (2) is a little too absurd.
There were no hints at all.
If I didn't want to become a right-minded person, I would never have found this valley.
Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?
There is no hint as to where the remaining 4 points are!
Next, let’s go south.
[There seems to be a scene in my memory calling me]
Fortunately, the nameless sword spirit spoke again.
Following his verbal prompt, Shi Li opened the mission map panel.
As expected, a new marked point was added in the south. That place should be the location of the 2/5 of Task (2).
But just like before, there is only a direction, no specific landforms or place names.
"Of course I can. You can ask me to go to the sea."
Once he gets the benefits, it won't be a problem for him to do anything.
“But this time there is not enough time.”
"I have to go back...I have to go back to heaven again."
"Gather one last piece of debris, and it's almost time to leave."
After estimating the time, he did not plan to set off for the second memory point immediately.
[It’s okay, I have plenty of time]
[A little bit of waiting is nothing]
"Okay, then get in the car."
[Uh, wait! ]
[Can I still be in control this time?]
"I didn't realize you were so motivated. Come on."
…
After 10 days of copy time, the number of fragments collected +1.
Shi Li returned to the real world as planned.
"After almost 100 days of living in the wild, I'm almost like a savage."
The first thing he did when he came back was to take a shower.
Before taking a shower, order some takeout.
It’s been a while since I’ve tasted the wicked high-tech seasoning.
So after finishing all these things, he sat on the bed and took out the [Sword Spirit Memories].
"Let's not make this material card in batches."
"Preview it directly with [Nameless Sword Spirit]."
But after thinking about it, he still made a small mistake.
Take out the [Broken Balance Sword] as well, and preview it together with the [Sword Spirit Memories].
This preview actually made me feel much more at ease.
The results of fusing the two cards with [Blade and Soul Memories] are the same, adding exactly the same active skills.
[Breaking Sword] already has an active skill, so [Nameless Sword Spirit] is more suitable for or needs this card more.
After all, it has energy but nowhere to spend it.
So he finally chose to merge [Sword Spirit Memories] into [Nameless Sword Spirit].
【Nameless Sword Spirit】
Break, 0 points, A
Attack 0, 100/100, 0/3
[Free Spirit - Passive]: The nameless sword spirit can be placed in any tablet
[Sword Body Resonance - Passive]: For every sword-related card on the field, the nameless sword spirit's attack power +5
[Sword Traces - Passive]: When the nameless sword spirit attacks, the target gains [Healing Ban] for 1 round.
[Sword into the Heart - 2 Energy Points]: The nameless sword spirit attacks 1 target and causes the [Penetrate] effect
(【Healing Ban】: The target's 【Healing】 is invalidated)
(【Penetrate】: When attacking a target, cause equal damage to 1 adjacent target behind it)
[Penetrating] with 2 energy points is considered a relatively common skill.
Although the damage of [Nameless Sword Spirit] is unstable, its [Penetrating] has some small advantages that [Penetrating] cards do not have.
That means it also comes with [Healing Ban].
[Penetrating] [Diffusion] are pure damage that cannot cause negative effects on the opponent, so their priority is the same as that of ordinary attacks.
Once charged, it will be sent directly.
And if it comes with [Healing Ban], you can hedge against others without being afraid of being controlled, at least not in the current round.
“It didn’t produce any amazing results, but it’s not bad.”
Finally he clapped his hands.
Buzz!
Light overflowed from the palm, and the card was completed.
"I was only in there for less than nine days."
"It's night time now, and we have another day off tomorrow."
"Can you please ask the logistics department to get me the video of the games I played after entering the dungeon? I can watch it slowly tomorrow."
"As for now, turn off the lights and go to bed."
Feeling a little tired, he decided to go to sleep.
So I fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how much time had passed, but I was suddenly awakened by the ringing of my watch.
“Hmm…”
He rubbed his eyes and reached for his watch in a daze.
He didn't remember setting the alarm.
"Um?"
As soon as I touched the watch, a holographic projection screen popped up.
The above is a very brief but very important message.
Dear contestants:
Due to some technical reasons, the round of 16 originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow will be temporarily suspended.
The time of the rematch is currently unknown, please wait patiently.
We will complete the technical adjustments as soon as possible.
Thanks.
I wish you all a happy life】
"What the hell, suspension?"
A completely unexpected situation occurred.
After taking a closer look at the signature of this message, I found that it was indeed the organizer.
This watch is originally used exclusively for competitions, and no one except the organizer can send out such information.
"If you had said that earlier, I would have stayed in there for another 30 days."
"Maybe we can complete the task of collecting the fragments."
He curled his lips and lay down again.
In that case, let's take a good rest for a day or two, and then go back again.
It’s a good opportunity to go to the memory point in the south and complete another task of the Nameless Sword Spirit.
As a result, I had just laid down when another message popped up.
However, the source is different from before and is not the event organizer.
This information comes directly from the player panel.
Dear Administrator
The management office informs you:
In order to better implement the Managers' Code of Conduct (Trial), we will organize the first free training session for managers.
This training location: Ancient Chinese Mythology World
Please prepare according to the detailed instructions and wait for the training call
Those who miss the event due to personal reasons will be responsible for it themselves.
【jingle!】
Then a longer, more detailed description was presented on the panel.
"Training?"
This word made Shi Li slightly stunned.
What you mean is that you will meet other managers.
But in this case, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to deliberately hide my identity as a manager during the competition?
"Um, tomorrow morning?"
When Shi Li first saw the entry time in the instructions, he was stunned.
"That suspension of the game, could it be related to the managers' training?"
Come to think of it, on the first day of the 32 to 16 competition, he saw the contestant in the red circle in the contestant seat.
Taking into account that some people will also block, a conservative estimate is that, including myself and Huichun, there must be at least 3 or 4 managers among the 16 group leaders.
If all managers advance to the next round but now have to attend training camp, it will indeed affect the schedule.
It’s impossible for all managers to withdraw from the competition.
I believe the players and managers would be the first to disagree with this kind of thing.
"Hmm? We have to go into the dungeon for training?"
Continuing to read, he frowned again.
Fortunately, there were special circumstances explained right away.
Entering the training copy will not affect situations like his temporary departure from other copies.
"Then... it is recommended to only bring 7+1 cards?"
This condition made Shi Li a little confused.
7 cards means 7 common cards, and they must be the same in each series.
Then the remaining one is the scene card.
"It's impossible for managers to not play cards during training."
"That is to say, only 6+1 cards will be played inside."
From the last interview, I know that the selection criteria for managers actually mainly focus on two aspects.
The first aspect is stance, which cannot be biased to the left or the right.
The second aspect is naturally the level of playing cards.
Therefore, it is only natural that managers play cards during training.
After all, opportunities for physical expulsion like I had today are rare, and many dungeons do not allow minion cards.
"But this condition is worth my careful consideration."
"How should I match these 7 different cards?"
The training time is 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and everyone will enter the dungeon through the administrator panel.
At this time, Shi Li was no longer sleepy and started thinking with his chin in his hand.
Due to the small number of cards, this deck is actually not easy to match.
First of all, in order to avoid being completely restrained, try not to get a complete set of cards.
You need to make a scattered card combination.
Since it is a loose deck, the most important thing besides flexibility is naturally strength.
So after thinking about it, he decided to take a step-by-step approach.
First, decide on the core cards.
Then some cards in the deck are matched around the core cards, while some are not, taking a pure strength route.
"As for the core cards, there are only two of them."
"【Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit】+【The Other Shore Immortal】. "
"Let's set up a dual-core formation."
First determine the two anchor points, and then extend and diverge from them.
However, the strength of my summoning deck is not very high, the Kung Fu deck is still stronger.
First, take a look at your own determination cards to see which ones are more suitable.
"Forget it, I'm sure there aren't many cards so I won't need to look at them."
"Although both are A-level Determined Kung Fu cards, compared to Sweeping Monk, Weapon Master and Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit are definitely more compatible."
"But 6+1 tends to be a small-scale operation, and counterattacks will be more threatening in it."
"So I'll choose the Sweeping Monk."
After taking a few glances at the deck, he chose [Sweeping Monk].
In fact, if it is a 6+1 deck, there is another very good choice.
That is the steadfast card [Death Knight], paired with the wise card [Swordseeker].
In this way, you can meet the 7 requirements and earn 1 plaque for free.
But Shi Li did not choose that.
Because there is a suggestion in the detailed description, that is, compared with the compatibility, it is best to give priority to high-grade ones.
Why this was done, he had no idea.
So after thinking about it, I decided to follow the instructions and get 7 A-level ones.
"As for the Balance card, is it better to choose [Flag Master] or [War Monkey]?"
"6+1 has fewer cards than 9+1, so the benefit of the overall attack power bonus is relatively smaller."
"Besides, I don't plan on going with a full Kung Fu deck."
"So based on this point, [Wu Hou] is better."
"This card has strong individual combat capabilities and a wide range of functions, and its tactical positioning is flexible and changeable."
"This way, there will be two cards in the first row, [Sweeping Monk] + [Warrior Monkey]."
Since there are seven series of cards, Resoluteness and Balance, which are more able to withstand damage, have each taken up a position.
Then Shi Li also needs a suitable first row card.
If it were the previous Kung Fu deck, he would directly choose [Weapon Master] or [Blind Swordsman].
But not today, it can’t be repeated.
The firm position of [Weapon Master] was taken by [Sweeping Monk].
The listening position of [Blind Swordsman] was taken by [Immortal of the Other Shore].
"What's left is rage + wind chasing + wisdom."
"Among these three, who can take more damage?"
"【Sword Death】? Hahaha, you think too much."
"What a pity. I don't have a wind-chasing card like the [Qigong Grandmaster]."
"As for the Wisdom card..."
In fact, Shi Li doesn’t have many A-grade wisdom cards.
However, when he listed all the A-level wisdom cards, he immediately found the answer.
"Oops, how could I have forgotten this card?"
