Chapter 32: The Allure of Nation Wars!
Just as Xiao Zhang said, there were 120 participants this time, which is double the number of participants from Langyu Studio.
Therefore, the afternoon matches are also an important part of the competition.
As time went by, the offline events for "Three Kingdoms Kill" also entered the competition phase.
At the convention center, staff set up the competition venue in the center of the hall. All the contestants had already drawn lots and were sitting in their preparation seats, waiting for the competition to officially begin.
Lin Lang stood on the stage, looking at all the audience members below, and announced the next round of competition.
"First of all, welcome to all the participants for our first offline tournament for the game 'Three Kingdoms Kill'!"
"The competition is divided into two parts. The first part is the new national war entertainment tournament introduced in our new version, which consists of two matches!"
"The gameplay is not complicated. Players of the same faction can choose two generals to fight! This will test everyone's understanding of the generals and whether the two can cooperate to make some brilliant moves!"
Our final nation war will not restrict factions; players can freely choose their own factions and play as they please!
"The competition has officially begun!"
After the speech, all the players in the audience applauded and cheered, finally seeing what the mysterious mode introduced in this version update was.
Ran Xiaona, sitting in the audience, also looked surprised; it was the first time she had ever heard of the national war!
As a specially invited guest, I only knew that there would be an offline competition for "Three Kingdoms Kill", but I knew nothing about the gameplay.
The Langyu Studio maintains strict confidentiality.
I finally saw the true face of Mount Lu today!
Dual-General Mode! Skills can be combined!
Not only her, but the viewers in the live stream were also attracted by this gameplay!
My goodness, Langyu Studio has really been holding back a huge surprise!
[I deserve some credit for this. I had previously commented on the official website about whether a mode allowing multiple generals to play together could be added! I didn't expect he would overhear me!]
[I already have countless combinations in my head! I can already imagine the explosive popularity of the nation war mode after its release!]
[Could the update be earlier? It's way too long before 8 PM!]
[Hahaha, Tencent must be dumbfounded when they see this model! How could they possibly copy this national war game?!]
I can't wait to try it out!
Under the guidance of the staff, Ran Xiaona also went to her seat in the competition and sat down.
The anticipation of the competition was palpable, and the seven other contestants around them couldn't hide their excitement either, eager to experience it for themselves!
Lin Lang also explained the competition rules to everyone later. This time, there are not only 25 generals from the previous version, but also 25 generals that will be released soon.
At the start of the game, each player must place their general face down on the table. If a skill is activated, the general must be revealed first, or the general can be revealed voluntarily during the turn of play.
Since it's a national war, generals of the same faction are in one team, but without revealing the generals, you won't know who your teammates are.
Meanwhile, the game cards have also been updated. The specifics will depend on the players' performance on the spot to experience the charm of the new version!
The winners of the two final matches will receive generous rewards!
This time, the dealer was Bai Xiaotong, who was greeted with cheers from the live chat as soon as she appeared in her cosplay outfit.
[These are real female dealers, dealing cards online!]
[Look at me, sister!]
Shine my shoes!
Each player is randomly assigned 6 general cards and must choose two generals from the same faction to form a pair.
However, since it is random, anything can happen.
This was Ran Xiaona's first offline experience with "Three Kingdoms Kill," and given the new version,
This round was relatively lucky; four of the general cards belonged to the Wei Kingdom, while the other two belonged to other factions.
They are: Zhang Liao, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Zhen Ji, Zhang Jiao, and Huang Gai.
Because there were newly released generals, Ran Xiaona showed them to her viewers one by one so they could see them clearly.
At this moment, the viewers in the live chat also saw the deck and began to make their moves.
It's definitely Sima Yi and Cao Cao combined! Who would dare touch you!
[If you ask me, Zhang Liao + Sima Yi would also work; they're a thief duo. If you attack me, I'll steal your cards; if you don't attack me, I'll still steal your cards!]
[This new Zhang Jiao is pretty strong! Although he can only change black judgment cards, it's incredibly powerful when combined with his [Lightning Strike]!]
[Zhen Ji can also be paired with Sima Yi; as long as you have four black cards in your hand, it's basically a card-drawing mechanic!]
[It would be great if we could choose different factions. Zhang Jiao is strongest when paired with Zhen Ji. Sima Yi can only be a substitute, not a replacement!]
After some deliberation, Ran Xiaona chose Sima Yi and Zhen Ji as her generals.
Just like the comments said, as long as you have a good hand, you can keep getting good cards!
After everyone made their selections, the game screen displayed each player's screen.
Ran Xiaona drew the second position this time, and her hand was very good, all black!
But since we had to wait a bit before we could play a card, we focused our attention on position number one.
Player number one, being experiencing a national war for the first time, didn't want to hide anything and wanted to quickly find teammates, so he took the initiative to reveal his general.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
Belonging to the Shu Kingdom's forces, Ran Xiaona raised an eyebrow upon seeing it; the first enemy had appeared!
At this moment, player number one did not know who his teammates were. He did not want to lose the initiative, so he hesitated between player number two and player number eight, who were closest to him.
"Hey bro~ We're teammates, so please don't hit me!"
Ran Xiaona activated her off-field skill, "Clever Words," and successfully deceived her opponent.
So the foolish Number One directly attacked Number Eight [forgetting about home], [cut off supplies], [killed].
This is something player number eight can't figure out!
"No, bro! I'm on your side, don't try to trick me!"
But there was nothing we could do; all the cards had already been played, and it was too late to say anything!
He could only accept his bad luck!
Finally, it was Ran Xiaona's turn. At this moment, she activated the skill [Luoshen], which also revealed her identity.
"See! I told you she was lying to you!" Player Number Eight curled his lip.
Player One realized he had been tricked, but refused to admit it in the face of Player Eight's taunts.
So he started to argue: "Superficial! You think I'm playing a game? You're wrong, I'm providing entertainment for the live stream!"
Number 8: 6! You're such a pervert!
With her own luck and Sima Yi's "Genius" ability, Ran Xiaona successfully collected 26 cards.
This left the players on the sidelines dumbfounded!
No way! What kind of combination is this?!
Was the deck rigged?
Ran Xiaona, on the other hand, was very happy. She had all sorts of strategy cards, as well as the divine weapon [Zhuge Repeating Crossbow] and countless [Kill] cards.
But she noticed something different; some of the [killers] had red wings and black lightning.
"Hello referee, I'd like to ask what these two cards mean?"
If you don't understand something, just ask. Ran Xiaona also raised her hand and asked Bai Xiaotong.
At this moment, the screen switched, and two attribute-based killing cards appeared in the audience's view.
"This is our newly introduced attribute-based attack, which can be combined with the new strategy cards [Iron Chains] and [Wine] to create unique effects!"
The big screen then began to demonstrate the usage scenarios to the audience and introduced the functions of the newly released cards.
Wow! I didn't know it could be used like this! This could totally achieve a double kill!
[Look at Ran Xiaona, she still has a [Wine] card. If the opponent doesn't have Flash, combined with [Iron Chain], [Wine], and [Fire Kill], that's four drops of damage in one go!]
[This is awesome! The streamer can do it right now and connect number one and number eight!]
Ran Xiaona also saw the method suggested in the comments. With a thought, she used [Steal] and [Demolish the Bridge] to take away the number one's hand cards and reduce his health to one drop.
Number Eight: "See? This is what happens when you're tricked... Hey! What do you mean by linking the two of us together?!"
Then, amidst the surprised expressions of Number One and Number Eight, [Iron Chain Link] [Wine] [Fire Kill] directly took Number One away.
Number 8, with only one drop of health remaining, also ended the match with Ran Xiaona's [Duel] card.
As expected, he wasn't from the same faction as Number One; he belonged to the Kingdom of Wu.
After eliminating their two opponents, the others dropped their pretense and revealed their true strength.
There are currently three players from the Wei Kingdom on the field. The remaining players, seeing the situation was not good, tacitly combined their forces, but they still could not escape the offensive.
In the end, the Wei Kingdom won this match!
"Yes! Guys, isn't the streamer amazing!" Ran Xiaona immediately interacted with the live stream chat.
[A bit lucky!]
[No numerical values, just operations!]
[If you hadn't tricked Number One, you would have been oblivious to your surroundings if I'd given you a picture of someone so engrossed in their pleasure!]
Winning the next round truly shows skill; all generals can be paired together!
After a few minutes of rest, the final chaotic battle officially began.
Since there was no concept of faction, Lin Lang added a rule on the spot: the eight contestants present would be randomly divided into two groups to fight.
The players' positions remained unchanged. This time, Ran Xiaona's teammate was number one, so there was no need to lie to him; her stance was made clear from the start.
At this moment, Number Eight's eyes were also fixed on the two of them. Let's see how I teach you a lesson this time!
After Bai Xiaotong finished distributing the general cards, Ran Xiaona immediately checked them.
The generals drawn this time are: [Liu Bei], [Guo Jia], [Xiahou Dun], [Lu Xun], [Zhang Jiao], and [Zhen Ji].
The comments section is now filled with suggestions.
[Zhang Jiao and Zhen Ji! There's no other choice! This is even better than Sima Yi!]
[That must be Guo Jia + Xiahou Dun, one health and three drops of damage!]
But this time, Ran Xiaona did not choose the generals they mentioned, but instead chose [Liu Bei] and [Lu Xun]!
[I'm not a streamer, Liu Bei is such a terrible general, why did you choose him? Are you here to work for someone else?]
[Wait! Look at Lu Xun's skill [Chain Camp: When you lose your last card, you can draw a card]! This paired with Liu Bei's [Benevolence]!]
[My God, I'd be so happy if I were his teammate!]
[Is this... considered exploiting a bug?]
Ran Xiaona shared the same thought. Liu Bei's "Benevolence" skill alone seemed useless, but when paired with "Chain Camps," it became invincible!
"Hmph, you two are definitely going to lose this round. Just wait and see what I pick!"
Player number eight then revealed his two generals: Huang Gai and Hua Tuo.
"Once I get the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, none of you will escape!"
Ran Xiaona looked at his arrogant expression without saying anything. She'd find out once the competition started!
Soon, after the generals were selected, the competition officially began.
Just as Player One was still pondering how to proceed, Ran Xiaona urged, "Hurry up, you don't need to do anything!"
"Oh, infighting! You can't use your honey trap this time, can you?" Number Eight looked at the two with a grin, determined to prove himself this time!
Seeing this, Number One immediately passed the card, giving the display space to Ran Xiaona.
"Then let me show you the power of [Liu Bei] + [Lu Xun]!" Ran Xiaona activated [Benevolence], giving all her cards to player number one, and then activated [Chain Camp] to draw another card!
He drew 50 cards back and forth like this, leaving the surrounding players dumbfounded.
Number 8: Can I entrust this to someone...?
