With the World Championship about to begin, Qianwen put aside his thoughts and returned to the guild headquarters. The World Championship was a breakthrough point, and when it ended, the truth about some things should come out.
Chapter 321 Team Competition
When only two hundred or so participants remained, all of whom were top players in the game, Qianwen encountered Lin Siyun's team in the first match.
When Lin Siyun saw who her opponent was, she gave a wry smile, but it quickly turned into a smile. Even knowing she would lose, she would fight with all her might and give it her all.
The terrain for this match was randomly assigned to a beach, half of which was lake water and the other half was sand, making it an open terrain overall.
The match begins, and the condition for victory is not to kill all the opponents, but to gain as many battle points as possible and avoid losing any battle points.
Combat points are not earned by attacking enemies, but by utilizing the terrain in combat and capturing terrain points. In addition, combat points increase by one point per second.
How are combat points lost, and what are the effects and damage dealt to the character in an attack?
Each match lasts a fixed 30 minutes, which is quite long. The results are settled after 30 minutes, and even if one side is completely wiped out, the match will continue for 30 minutes until the end, unless the player surrenders.
Battle points increase by one point per second, even if all players are eliminated. Therefore, the focus of the competition becomes how to reduce the opponent's points, rather than killing everyone, because killing will not reduce the points from the opponent. In addition, the competition strictly restricts suicide, as suicide will deduct a large number of points.
This is why you shouldn't bring good pets into the competition. Poor pets can even become a point deduction, as allowing the enemy to exploit your pets for damage will also result in point deductions.
As the match began, Qianwen, clad in the Azure Wolf Armor, charged to the forefront like a mobile fortress. Without using AI, Qianwen fought solely based on his own combat skills.
The team communicates via voice chat. Nolan Yancheng and Yuan Bufan are both top players. Yuan Bufan is not well-known, but he is indeed skilled in combat.
Ya Mubai's spells are also peculiar. They are not very offensive, but other people's attacks can hardly touch him. He is mainly responsible for assisting Qianwen's attack accuracy.
Asahi, the only seemingly weakest member of the team and also the lowest-ranked, possesses unimaginably dazzling skills. In addition to being able to fly high into the sky, her barrage of missiles is enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.
The outcome of this battle was no exception; it was still an overwhelming victory. The sisters, Qianwen and Qianlin, were like cheat codes, leaving Weiwei with practically nothing to do.
Unless their combat strength was stretched thin, Vivi's combat power was not used. She was allowed to hide in Ya Mubai's talisman array and wait for orders, which made Vivi feel extremely bored.
The second battle.
The third battle.
In the fourth battle, Qianwen encountered Tianyu Geno. This battle was not easy, and he narrowly defeated his team in the end, until the final battle where only two teams remained.
Qianwen didn't expect to reach the finals so quickly. Was it too easy? Success was within reach, and at this point, she shouldn't underestimate her final opponent.
who can that be?
There were five people, none of whom I knew.
The name is not visible on the ranking list.
Many viewers didn't even recognize them because they had never appeared in previous World Championships. In this World Championship, almost everyone's focus was on Qianwen, and no one watched the other battles. Since the battles started simultaneously, players could only choose one to watch, so they didn't know how this team made it to the finals.
In any case, those who make it to the finals are definitely not ordinary players.
Tianyu Geno, who had already left the competition, and Clover, who was eliminated in the top 32, sat together again, drinking and watching the upcoming matches while chatting.
According to some gossip news, the two are actually already married, since they are often seen sitting together, although they have never officially announced their relationship.
Clover said casually, "I still haven't seen those people."
Jeno said, "Yes, the individual competitions are the main event."
"Team matches are boring, let's end them quickly."
"Guess if I can make it into the top ten this time?"
"I guess it's a bit risky."
The final match started on time. This time, the randomly assigned terrain was mountainous, with dense forests and thick fog, resulting in poor visibility. Everyone suffered a setback from the start, and their scores were dragged down by the opponent. The opponent's classes were all very strange, so much so that for a while, Qianwen and everyone else couldn't figure out the enemy's movements. Even Yamubai couldn't locate any of the enemy players.
Yamubai offered a guess: "Not everyone is good at stealth. There must be a special class that can help teammates hide. Find him and kill him first."
Yuan Bufan volunteered: "I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, he broke away from the team. In team battles, it's generally not advisable to kill someone, because killing someone reduces the opponent's score. However, this is only the general case. Less than a minute later, Yuan Bufan, who went out alone, received a death notice. Now the opponent has more points than Qianwen's side, so they stopped attacking and just kept at a loss with Qianwen's side. As long as Qianwen couldn't find them and dragged the game out, they would win.
Qianwen has two options: one is to find them, and the other is to find terrain strongholds. Occupying these hidden locations can also earn points.
However, since the other party is lurking in the shadows, if we don't find them, they will still attack us and we will lose points. It just so happens that this terrain has been refreshed, and the foggy weather makes it too easy for them to hide.
Qianlin asked, "What skills can dispel the fog?"
Ya Mubai analyzed, "The people on his side who are good at hiding must be very skilled, otherwise they wouldn't have made it to the finals. It's impossible for them to hide in the fog alone. It's not like they can encounter this kind of terrain every time. Even my locator can't find their location, so they definitely can't be seen with the naked eye."
Just as Yamubai was about to suggest that they set a trap to lure them in, Vivi, who hadn't had any work to do, volunteered, "Why don't I just burn down this forest?"
Qianwen had the same idea: "Yes, let's go together."
Asahina also said, "I'll go too! If I find his body, I can help him come back to life."
Vivi transformed back into her dragon form and flew into the sky. The map for the competition wasn't large, and it would only take Vivi a few minutes to set the forest ablaze. She opened her mouth and spewed out scorching dragon breath, and flames flowed into the misty forest like lava. Wherever it passed, whether dry or damp, anything that could burn burst into flames.
But this time it seemed they had truly met their match. A crossbow bolt shot out from the smoke and accurately struck Vivi's wing joint, embedding itself deeply.
Vivi lost her balance due to her injured wing and was about to fall. "Yihai, this is poisonous, my wings are paralyzed." This injury wouldn't affect her flight too much, but the poison was a different story.
Qianwen wasn't afraid of falling down like that; what she was afraid of was that there would be traps after she fell. Although the previous team's match that led them to the finals was only briefly mentioned, Qianwen's victory was not easy. The reason they were able to reach the end was due to Qianwen's attribute suppression. High level and high damage are the only hard truths.
Although these five people on the other side were unknown, they must have something special to have made it this far. They seemed to know that Qianwen's damage was very high, so from the start until now, Qianwen hadn't seen a single one of them, and didn't know how many of them were men or women, only their IDs.
With the world championship title within reach, there's no need to hold back anymore.
Vivi was about to fall when Qianwen decisively ordered, "Vivi, use the Elf Transformation Magic. Ahri, prepare to enchant the sword with Starfire Divine Power."
Chapter 322 The Anomaly of AI
What does Qianwen want to do? Of course, he wants to win the game, without holding back, using the most brute force method to break through the enemy's dense fog of war.
In mid-air, Vivi's body gradually became transparent, turning into fiery red elements that quickly entered Qianwen's body. During this brief period, Qianwen gained the Flame Dragon Wings, granting him the ability to fly.
The fairy transformation magic doesn't last long, at most only a dozen seconds, and Vivi will temporarily lose her combat ability after it ends. It has significant side effects, but it can provide extremely high burst energy.
Qianwen can now use the Starfire Divine Power obtained from the Starburst Ritual of the Spirit Sword, but it requires the cooperation of Ahri, who is the sword spirit, to use it.
In an instant, wings of flames unfurled behind Qianwen, and the wolf girl, clad in jet-black armor, shone with a blazing light like the sun.
A terrifying energy seemed to shine through the screens onto the faces of the viewers, and everyone held their breath, eager to witness what terrible things were about to happen.
Blazing white flames and deep red flames intertwined on the Spirit Blooming Sword, incompatible yet peaceful. Suddenly, an ordinary slash from the girl's hand drew a crescent moon from top to bottom.
The crescent-shaped sword energy, like ripples in water, suddenly spread out and struck the ground directly. Without choosing a target, the entire ground became Qianwen's target.
A shockwave as terrifying as a nuclear explosion swept across the entire map with a deafening roar. After one strike, even Qianwen's teammates were not spared, as they were indiscriminately covered by this attack.
When the smoke cleared, the ground was completely unrecognizable. Only Qianwen, Qianlin, and Weiwei remained alive from both sides. The enemy, who had been hiding somewhere, was defeated by indiscriminate attacks.
I didn't even get to see him.
Qianwen didn't want to kill her teammates, but there was no other way at this point. As long as they won the game, dying once didn't matter. There was no penalty for dying in the game, just like in the dungeon.
At this point, a weight was lifted from Qianwen's heart.
The remaining time was no longer important, but the game still ran out of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the game announcement revealed the champion team and also announced that the World Championship individual competition would be held next. All qualified players could register to participate again.
The awards ceremony and numerous post-match celebrations will begin after the individual competitions conclude, as was the case for the previous two editions. Therefore, the World Championship is actually only halfway through at this point.
Watching the game through the window, Shen Muhan was gratified by the result, but also felt a sense of entitlement mixed with disappointment and melancholy.
Normally she wouldn't be this busy. After taking over the company from her father, she didn't have much to do. It's just that there are special circumstances recently, so there's a lot of work to do. In any case, the family business should be the priority. Her father has stepped down, and she can't just abandon her important work to participate in a game competition.
Her father kept nagging her to find a capable son-in-law, but Shen Muhan didn't want to get married. She felt that being alone meant she could do whatever she wanted.
"It's okay, there will be another chance next year."
Comforting himself with this thought, Shen Muhan prepared to watch the next individual competition.
Qianwen did not plan to participate in the individual competition. Winning the team competition would complete the mission. Qianwen did not pursue fame or fortune. After completing the mission, Qianwen felt relieved and prepared to withdraw from the competition.
Individual competitions also require registration, and you won't be forced to participate if you don't register. Even under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qianwen still chose not to participate in the individual competition.
Just as Qianwen clicked to exit, something strange happened: the hand moved on its own, and with a few simple operations, it registered Qianwen for the individual competition.
this...
Qianwen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Who was controlling me?
"Yihai, what's wrong with you?"
Ah Li was also surprised, but what surprised her was that Qianwen's AI acted on its own without any instructions.
Having spent so much time together, Ahri had become familiar with Qianwen's soul aura. When using AI, the aura would change. Just a few seconds ago, Ahri was certain that the AI had been activated and had autonomously registered Qianwen for the individual competition without any command from its master.
Ahri then affirmed, "It's AI."
Is it AI?
Qianwen gradually calmed down.
It's probably not a program bug, but rather that someone else is controlling the AI, or that the AI itself carries deep-seated instructions.
But what is the purpose?
What is the purpose of participating in the individual competition? To win the championship? Or to defeat someone?
No one knew what had happened to Qianwen. The rest of the team were immersed in the joy of victory. They were not surprised that Qianwen would continue to participate in the individual competition, because they would also participate in the annual Endless Dimension official world championship. It would be too boring not to participate.
Even Qianlin didn't sense anything unusual, and she enthusiastically applied for the individual competition, skipping and hopping to her sister and playfully asking, "Sister, guess what place I can get?"
Qianwen didn't reveal her worries, and replied mercilessly: "What number? I think you're in the thousands. Dream on."
"Hmph, you don't believe in my abilities? Just you wait." Qianlin skipped away. "Sister, see you later tonight, my classmate called me for something."
"Ok!"
Even if you've registered for the individual competition, it won't start until tomorrow, so there's nothing to do today. You can rest or celebrate tonight.
Qianwen didn't want to waste a single minute and went to look for Hongdou again, but she couldn't find her. Then Qianwen went to Baixing, hoping to find some useful clues.
But apart from bringing back some star crystal ore, Qianwen gained nothing. After wandering around aimlessly for several hours like a headless fly, Qianwen arrived at the abandoned ruins area C, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
Qianwen made a decision.
"Can I make that choice again?"
