Hu Die Lan
Chapter 939 A Not-So-Simple Opponent
"Where are your people!" After handing the account card to Ye Xiu, Lou Guan'ning's confidence soared, and he roared with a heroic spirit.
"Full of fighting spirit, Lao Lou, don't worry, your opponent is coming right away." The person speaking was about to walk towards Lou Guan'ning.
"Don't come over! I won't give you a one-in-a-million chance!" Lou Guan'ning looked like he was worried about the other party peeking. In fact, he was afraid that if the other party saw him, his secret of hiring Ye Xiu as a substitute would be exposed immediately.
"Oh, so serious? The more serious you are, the more pitiful you are!" The visitor shook his head and sighed.
Although they were close friends, they knew each other well. Seeing the other person's appearance, Lou Guan'ning was a little dazed. This guy was unusually confident this time! Although this person didn't play Glory much himself, he often interacted with Lou Guan'ning and his group of Glory fans, and now he was enthusiastic about attacking Team Yizhan, so he had some vision. He knew the current level of Lou Guan'ning and his friends quite well, and it would be difficult for ordinary player experts to be their opponents. What he could expect was that Lou Guan'ning and his friends would make some mistakes during the duel, and then laugh at them by only looking at the results and disregarding the process. But now he was so confident from the beginning, could it be that he had found some amazing character this time? Otherwise, with the extremely high losing rate of player experts, wasn't his confidence just slapping himself in the face?
Lou Guan'ning was suspicious, but when he thought that it was a god-level player acting as a substitute, he immediately felt relieved. However, in order not to let the visitor see through his disguise, after noticing the other party's unexpected confidence, Lou Guan'ning pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who did you find?" Friends were mutual, Lou Guan'ning understood the other party, and the other party was familiar with him. The other party showed excessive confidence, and Lou Guan'ning needed to avoid showing excessive confidence in order not to arouse suspicion.
"Hehe, let's talk after we fight," the visitor said.
Could this guy have invited a professional player through some means?
Lou Guan'ning muttered to himself. After all, it was the All-Star Weekend, and the professional players of the Glory circle gathered in City B. If this guy was willing to pay the price to attack him, he might really have invited a professional player!
Just as he was guessing, a figure flashed at the door, and someone was already standing there. Lou Guan'ning stood up and looked at the person, but he didn't recognize him... This person was not a professional player.
"Okay, you're here. Then let's start quickly?" the close friend said with anticipation, and without treating himself as an outsider, he arranged a seat for the visitor.
The visitor didn't say much, went over and sat down, then took out an account card from his pocket, swiped it, and logged in to Glory.
"Room number." Lou Guan'ning secretly sent a message to Ye Xiu, and after receiving a reply, he announced it loudly.
The visitor's character logged in, quickly came to the arena, and found the room. Everyone had already opened their accounts and were waiting in the room. Watching the game from the spectator perspective with their accounts was much clearer than watching the first-person perspective from behind the players. Lou Guan'ning himself also opened a smurf account and mixed in with everyone, and together they saw the visitor enter the room.
Zai Shui Yi Xia (Sleep Again One Summer).
The name of the visitor's character was a bit interesting, and looking at the class, Lou Guan'ning immediately understood why he was challenged. This Zai Shui Yi Xia was actually a Berserker.
"Same old rules, random map, one round determines the winner," Lou Guan'ning said.
"Don't you want me to give you more chances?" his close friend said with a smile.
"I don't have that much time." Lou Guan'ning said unhappily, "Start."
As he said this, Ye Xiu immediately very cooperatively selected a random map, and then started the match. The countdown ended, and both sides loaded the map. In the end, the random map was an indoor scene for one-on-one combat: Tavern.
One-on-one maps wouldn't be too big, but they were still much larger than the arena, which players often used to save time. As for indoor maps, many rooms were more annoying than many obstacles. This Tavern map had five connecting rooms, and also an underground wine cellar, for a total of six rooms.
Ye Xiu's Zhan Lou Lan and Zai Shui Yi Xia each appeared in a room, not knowing where the other was, and walked towards the entrances and exits of their respective rooms.
The spectators were all looking at Zai Shui Yi Xia's equipment. Ordinary players' equipment could not be compared with professional characters. However, now that the game data was being updated, ordinary players had the opportunity to close the gap with professional characters.
However, this opportunity was only theoretical. Level 75 orange equipment, was it something that just anyone could get?
But now, when everyone looked at Zai Shui Yi Xia, they were all surprised. Level 75 orange equipment, this person already had four pieces on his body, including an orange weapon: the heavy sword Wufeng (No Edge). Besides a bunch of dazzling level 75 orange equipment attributes, there was also an additional effect, Fragmentation, which doubled the durability destruction of the equipment.
This attribute was quite vicious.
What was equipment durability? It was money!
In Glory, if you directly asked a blacksmith or the like to repair equipment, the durability上限 (shangxian, upper limit) would decrease a bit each time you repaired it, until it reached the lowest point and could not be repaired. Therefore, in order not to lower the upper limit, you needed to find corresponding materials to repair the equipment. The more extreme the equipment, the more expensive the repair materials needed. In other words, the more extreme the equipment, the more valuable the durability was.
And this weapon that doubled the durability destruction was simply stabbing at the opponent's money bag! What was even more terrifying was that if the battle became a stalemate, with this doubled durability destruction, it might directly reduce the opponent's equipment durability to 0. The lowest equipment durability in Glory was 1. If the durability was 0, the equipment would be considered destroyed and would directly turn into a pile of trash...
"Could it be that this guy specially got such a weapon to destroy our equipment?" Lou Guan'ning speculated in his mind. He knew that Yizhan's equipment was very poor in the professional circle, but it was still much better than ordinary players. Therefore, in the past, the thugs that this close friend found often provided some equipment. Although this guy had no reputation in Glory, as long as he had money, equipment was not particularly difficult to get. In order to make Lou Guan'ning feel bad and have fun, this guy was very willing to make this kind of investment.
It must be that guy's bad idea. Lou Guan'ning glanced at his close friend, but with a god-level player in charge, Lou Guan'ning believed that this kind of trick would definitely not succeed.
The two Berserker characters were constantly moving through the tavern, and no one ran to the underground wine cellar. They were searching for each other's figures in the five rooms. Finally, in a certain room, the two characters rushed in from different entrances, and met.
Bengshan Ji (Mountain Collapse Strike)!
Ye Xiu was the first to attack, a very ordinary Berserker's starting move.
The opponent was quite skilled in dealing with this popular routine. Zai Shui Yi Xia took a small back step, and with a circle of the heavy sword Wufeng in his hand, he used a Ba Dao Zhan (Blade Draw). The determination of Bengshan Ji was not weaker than Ba Dao Zhan, so this Ba Dao Zhan would not knock away Zhan Lou Lan, who used Bengshan Ji, but he would definitely take the damage from this strike. After performing this Ba Dao Zhan at the closest distance, Zai Shui Yi Xia took another back step, accurately avoiding the impact range of the falling Bengshan Ji.
Ye Xiu was surprised. However, the opponent's counterattack was only for these two back steps. The first back step avoided the edge and launched a counterattack, seizing the closest attack distance; and the second back step was to avoid the Bengshan Ji that Ba Dao Zhan could not stop from falling. The timing of the two back steps was extremely precise. This small detail showed his skill. Coincidence, it couldn't be a coincidence twice.
Ye Xiu's expression immediately became serious. If it were just any opponent, he would have probably just slashed down regardless of whether Bengshan Ji hit or not, and continued to pursue. But seeing the opponent's exquisite two back steps, Ye Xiu realized that recklessly slashing down without success would definitely be met with a strong counterattack. Therefore, before Bengshan Ji fell, he forcibly canceled the move in mid-air and changed to a block.
With a clang, Ba Dao Zhan hit Zhan Lou Lan's block, and Zhan Lou Lan borrowed the momentum to fly backwards and land. The two Berserkers, for the first time, the heavy swords crossed, but they both used the Sword Master's skills. The sound of the heavy swords clashing made Lou Guan'ning's heart tremble. How much durability did this strike cut off from Zhan Lou Lan's weapon?
As soon as Zhan Lou Lan landed, he immediately used Chong Zhuang Ci Sha (Collision Stab), the speed of the movement made people feel that the character had not yet landed, but directly stepped out of the air.
The opponent obviously didn't expect that the response here would also be so clever and proactive, and this Chong Zhuang Ci Sha was dodged somewhat embarrassedly. Ye Xiu controlled Zhan Lou Lan to turn around and follow up with Xuan Feng Zhan (Whirlwind Slash), but the opponent's movement was also fast, and he also used Xuan Feng Zhan. The two Berserkers wildly waved the heavy swords in their hands, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless, while blood and flesh flew, and their health decreased.
When Xuan Feng Zhan was used, it also depended on the operation to adjust the angle of the sword rotation in order to maximize the damage to the opponent. The two of them were obviously micro-controlling Xuan Feng Zhan, sometimes hitting the opponent, and sometimes parrying the attack. When both skills ended at the same time, the damage suffered by the two was similar, but the life of the weapon, that is, the durability, was definitely a loss for Zhan Lou Lan.
He's got some skill!
Both of them thought to themselves. This kind of collision of the same skills best reflects the level of skill. A similar result can also show a similar level of skill.
Who is this person?
Ye Xiu had to seriously consider this question. How many people in Glory could be on par with him? Ye Xiu didn't take it seriously at first, and didn't even glance at the person when he came. Now that he realized that the person was not simple, he wanted to look again, but the screen was blocking them, and he couldn't see.
As for the visitor, he wasn't as surprised as Ye Xiu. After all, he thought his opponent was Lou Guan'ning, and Lou Guan'ning was a professional player, so it wasn't too surprising that they could fight to a draw.
"Again!"
The two sides didn't speak, but they each said a sentence in their hearts. The characters used their moves at the same time. The heavy sword in their hands was a red shadow, slashing towards the opponent, and there was another loud noise. The two swords collided, and both of them had similar slashing angles for this Blood Shadow Frenzy, and the attack eventually became a parry.
Lou Guan'ning's heart was about to break!
God, you can't play like this! This kind of fighting method is obviously destroying my equipment! Please be more flexible...
