Chapter 231: Game Pool

On the way back to the car, Bai Liu, sitting in the passenger seat, briefly explained his idea about the league.

"You guys want to compete this year?" Tang Er hit wrinkled his brow.

"I also think it's too much of a rush, there's only two months left, Bai Liu you and Mu Ke are both 48, and 49 league games short of registering." Liu Jiayi lies on the car seat speechlessly, "I think both of you are having trouble signing up."

Bai Liu turned slightly sideways to look at Tang Er, who was sitting directly behind him, "Does Captain Tang have any good proposals? If you were to lead us, what would be the fastest speed to clear a copy?"

Tang Er 打眉越锁越紧："Your situation I do not know yet, can not predict ......"

Bai Liu asked in a different way, "If it were you, a level three copy, with reality as the dimension of time measurement, what would be your fastest speed to clear it?"

Tang Er hit without thinking: "31 minutes."

Liu Jiayi, who was drinking water in the back seat of the car, choked and coughed violently, and Mu Ke, who was in the driver's seat, almost drove off the road when he heard the number and slipped.

They questioned in unison, "How did you do it so fast?!"

Damn, what kind of monster is this guy? Thirty-one minutes to clear a level three game?

"To convert the time within the game dimension to real dimension time, it has to be converted twice." Tang Er hit narrated in a deep voice, "Once it is converted to the dimensional time in the system hall, and then converted to the real time through the dimensional time in the system."

"And in-game time is converted to dimensional time in the system lobby, not based on the length of time passing within the game, but through three different game endings."

Tang Er plays an example: "A game has three different ends, [bad end], [normal end] and [true end]."

"[BAD END] converts to invalid dimensional time, that is to say if a player hits [BAD END], dies, or becomes a monster in the game, then from the moment he enters the game, his time is invalid, completely stagnant in the game, and cannot continue to be converted to dimensional time or real time. "

"And Bai Liu the [true end] you most often type out converts to dimensional time, which is generally the longest gameplay time a game can last, and converts to the system lobby which is generally 3.5~5.5 dimensional hours, and further converts to reality which is generally between 21~27 hours."

Bai Liu stroked his chin in thought, "Is there a fixed ratio of exchange metrics for converting dimensional time to real time?"

Tang Er hit his head and shook his head, "No, there seems to be a pattern in the conversion of dimensional time to real time, but the pattern is fluid, consistent at one time but replacing at the next, at the moment I have not figured out a fixed ratio, I can only estimate it."

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes, "Reality and the system this fluid, indeterminate law of time conversion ......"

- - Isn't it exactly the same as the law of time conversion between the game copy and the system lobby?

Together with what Bai Liu had seen in [Future] before, he was basically certain that [Reality] was also some kind of game copy dimension.

If [Reality] is also a copy of the game within the system, then the standard for dimensional time conversion between [Reality] and the system should also be a different [END] line.

The system and [reality] for a period of time to maintain some kind of time conversion law, it should be that during this time the player walks on a certain fixed [end] line, and when the player changes the game path, walks on another [end] line, and the system within the time conversion rules also changed.

--So now, what [END] of this copy of [REALITY] is he walking [REALITY] on the game path?

[true end], [normal end] or [bad end]?

"And the fastest way to pass is to play the [NORMAL END] line." Tang Er hit continued, "Without exploring any monster books or looking for any clues to pass, directly killing the big boss and then reaching the quest conditions to violently pass, my fastest record is 17 minutes for a level 2 single player copy."

Liu Jiayi lay lifelessly on the seat and didn't move.

Seventeen minute secondary copy ......

With this level of clearance, even with a band of four, two months would be entirely enough time to bring them all into the league.

League powerhouse, scary as hell.

"But two months is still too tight to participate in the league." Tang Er hit a serious warning, "Even with the enrollment qualification, the quality of you guys compared to those players in the league is far too poor, the more important thing for you guys than getting the enrollment qualification is training."

"After you have gotten your registration, you will have to train in the game pool at least sixty times to have a basic knowledge of the league's copies of the game and the rules of the game before you can compete."

Liu Jiayi raised his hand and added, "In addition to that, popularity is also very important, you need to canvass outside of the game to get the audience to support you and charge your votes, and the player who rushes to the top one hundred of the popularity value in the season of support will only be able to get the league's [Exemption Gold Medal]."

"What's the game pool and the immunity license again?" Mu Ke sounds a little dizzy.

As a novice player, he's just figuring out the basic rules of the game lobby, and is far less familiar with the specific regulations of the league than Tang Er, a veteran of the game, and Liu Jiayi, who has been trained to play.

Liu Jiayi seemed to have realized this as well, holding his forehead with quite a bit of a headache, "Right oh, I forgot that you guys are still newcomers, listen up, the [Game Pool] is a brand new partition that only players who have successfully signed up for the league can log into, and it's generally used for internal training for league players."

Tang Er nodded his head in agreement with Liu Jiayi: "This partition contains a separate game selection screen, a game log-in entrance, and a game log-out exit, and the games played in this partition are not shown to outside viewers, so there are no small TVs in existence, and it is also known as the [Non-Small TV Zone]."

"--On top of that, the games played in this division are something that players can log out of at any time." Liu Jiayi held up a finger with a rare serious expression, "This is also the most special part of this partition, the system will have a certain level of protection for the league players who have already signed up successfully, and the specific embodiment of the protection mechanism is the existence of the [Game Pool] partition."

"In order to ensure that league players who have successfully registered can successfully participate in the league, before the league officially begins, these players train in the game within the [Game Pool], and when they perceive that their lives are in danger, they only need to pay a certain amount of points to exit the game."

Bai Liu raises an eyebrow, "Looks like the league is really important to the system."

--It's amazing that such training zones that give up harvesting players' souls purely exist, just to make sure these players can participate in the league without any problems.

"Don't take this lightly." Tang Er hit a deep voice to warn, "The reason why this mechanism exists in the game zone is because the games in here are all tertiary copies that are directly connected to the league, and a lot of people die before they even have time to log out."

"That's right." Liu Jiayi nodded her head repeatedly in a serious manner, "I heard Heart say that the copies of the league confrontations in previous years were randomly selected from the game pool, and that it was really hard, and in order to make sure that they could have a certain level of familiarity with the operation of these copies, the players of many big guilds would immediately brush up on enough copies to make 52 copies after the league of the previous year, and then go into the [Game Pool] to train at a high level of intensity. "

"Is that why we don't see any big guild wargamers out there?" Mu Ke asked.

"The only people you can see in the [Small TV Zone] are the star players who are put out for business by the guilds, you won't be able to see these battle team players who basically train in the [Game Pool] for a whole year and are much more capable." Tang Er hit faintly.

Liu Jiayi countered, "But that doesn't mean that the star players are low, on the contrary, most of them are very strong."

Mu Ke was stunned, "Star player?"

Bai Liu took out a pen and paper from the drawer in the front seat of the car, briefly wrote down a few keywords on it, and drew a circle on one of the keywords [Death-Free Gold Medal] before opening his mouth and asking, "The existence of the star player has something to do with the Death-Free Gold Medal, right?"

Tang Er hit silence for a moment and said, "Yes."

"While games in the pool can be logged out at any time, games in the league can't be logged out until a winner has been decided, which means that the losing side is basically all out."

Bai Liu's pen tip tapped twice on [Value for Money], his eyes drooping as he softly said, "-But this is a league, if the losing side is all but wiped out, this means that one team will disappear for a match, and there's no way for the match to continue at all, and there's no way to maximize the benefits of the league by exploiting the audience's emotional support for a certain fixed team's emotional support to induce them to charge their gambling, thus maximizing the league's benefits."

"In this case, the prop that preserves the more popular and valuable players - the league's [Exemption Medal] - was born."

Liu Jiayi sighed, "That's probably right, after a player obtains the [Gold Medal of Freedom from Death], the system will let you automatically log out of the game after your life or spirit value drops to a dangerous value during a match."

"The [Exemption Gold Medal] is obtained by relying on the popularity value, which is the audience's support for you, and this is where the season of support comes from - two months before the start of the league, the major guilds will start to frantically publicize their own teams, while keeping their star players open for business like crazy. "

"Basically, if a team has one or two really bright star players, the rest of the team can stop worrying about their [immunity from death] because the star player's fans will recharge the votes of everyone on a whole team to make sure they can let loose with their offense in the league without any worries."

Liu Jiayi began to count, "For example, Heart from the King's Guild, Spades from the Slayer Sequence, Charles from the Gambler's Alliance, Georgia from the Golden Dawn, and Judge Against the Gods from the Deer Hunters-but this guy transferred to the Slayer Sequence this year... now."

Liu Jiayi compared two fingers to come up next to Bai Liu: "So there are two star players in the killer sequence this year, and their guilds are simply not open for business for the season of support, because there's no need to worry about the [death-exemption medal] at all in this kind of camp."

"But--" Liu Jiayi expression sorrowfully retracted the finger, "our guild only I counted half a star player, you want to get [exemption gold medal] is very problematic, to think of ways to help you business Circle powdered ......"

"It doesn't matter if this kind of thing given by outsiders is there or not, the league looks at its own strength." Tang Er hit cold hard to correct Liu Jiayi's statement.

Liu Jiayi's eyes rounded as she contemptuously took out a pair of goggles, put them on, and then looked Tang Er over from top to bottom with an extremely mean-spirited gaze.

She snorted, "You shape up, I can understand your jealousy of me if you don't get to be a star player and get a get-out-of-jail-free card."

Tang Er is indeed not good-looking at the moment, bearded, ragged clothes, red eyes, body can still smell a very strange rose and blood mixed with a disgusting smell, looks disheveled and unkempt, restrained sitting in the back seat of the car, very much like Bai Liu casually picked up from the street wandering more than half a year of the big dog.

Tang Er hit opened his mouth to say something, but glanced at Liu Jiayi, who sat only as high as his waist, seemed to feel that he argued with a little girl is a bit degrading, so he turned his head, coldly looked out the car window, and no longer pick up Liu Jiayi's words.

Liu Jiayi grunted victoriously, lying behind Bai Liu's backrest, continuing to chatter: "You don't listen to his nonsense Bai Liu, [the gold medal] is very important, Heart showed me the league's death rate summary report, the overall survival rate of the team with star players will be much higher than the other teams. "

Speaking of the survival rate, Tang Er hit the hand of the empty grip for a moment, his expression condensed down, but his eyes are a little stunned - maybe Liu Jiayi is right ......

When he insisted on strength as the honor, did not do any business, has been letting the whole team in the game pool to train like crazy, and in the match against Bai Liu, resulting in the whole team in addition to him are no one to survive, but the irony is that he is the one who has a medal of immunity ......

Bai Liu wrote the words [Star Player] on the face of a small notepad he had with him, putting a not-so-small question mark next to it.

"I understand the importance of star players now, but it's not a very simple thing to develop a star player right?" Bai Liu squinted at Liu Jiayi, who had come up behind his chair, "I'm guessing that most star players are basically star players because they used to have extremely colorful performances in the league right?"

"Simply by performing in [a small TV area], I think it's hard to mold a star player with a huge fan base - like Jiayi yourself."

Bai Liu used his notes to sketch Liu Jiayi's face in the void from a distance, calmly recounting the facts, "You have a face that's easy on the eyes, a highly specialized skill, a top-tier guild that has poured all of its heart and soul into building you up, and a second-ranked star player to pave the way for you. "

"You've assembled one of the biggest advantages and gimmicks of a player who hasn't yet played in a league, but can you be sure you'll get a get-out-of-jail-free card as soon as you play in a league?"

Liu Jiayi was stunned.

Bai Liu asked back, faintly, "You can't, can you?"

"I agree with Captain Tang's thoughts on this point, for our group of mainly newcomer teams, it's more cost-effective to work hard on something like strength that you can obtain on your own, rather than working hard on something like popularity that's granted by outsiders, and the league is essentially a confrontation of strength rather than popularity, so for the next two months we're focusing on training mainly in the gaming pool. "

Bai Liu sealed the deal, after he swept a glance at the shocked Liu Jiayi, who was resting his cheeks in a daze, and Tang Er, who didn't move and breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Liu once again showed the kind of smile that makes people's heart feel cold:

"But that doesn't mean we're going to give up on attracting viewers, and we still have almost 50 more games that are played in the [small TV area] before we get to the pool."

"We're going to use these fifty plays to draw the crowd to us with everything we've got."

Bai Liu's gaze lingered for a moment on Tang Er's hair, which had congealed into a tug, "Let's start with, making our Captain Tang a handsome man fit for business."

Tang Er typed: "......？？？？？"

------

Mu Sicheng choked and coughed as he ran out the back door of the factory, and only slipped out the side and ran off on his motorcycle after making sure that the Heresy Authority team had completely taken over the flipped-out in-world factory and had taken control of the generational factory manager who was ready to escape.

Putting on a motorcycle helmet and a monaural monkey Bluetooth headset, Mu Sicheng dialed Bai Liu's phone number between the winds, his heart racing.

Bai Liu, this guy's going to go out and claim he's the bomber, leaving him in the relative safety of the in-world to stall for time.

There's also no telling what Bai Liu's deranged crew will do to him once he's under the control of the Heretic Authority!

Last time Bai Liu went in there, he felt half dead!

Although Bai Liu kept saying that he had ways to cope with it, he was just an ordinary person in the real world, how many ways could he have against such a big organization?

Mu Sicheng took a deep breath and waited impatiently for the call to be connected, and as soon as the other side picked up, he couldn't wait to follow up with, "Bai Liu are you alright? Where are you?"

"I'm fine." Bai Liu's voice came unhurriedly from the other end of the line, "I'm at ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Liu's voice was interrupted by a hysterical roar of resistance from the background audio, "Get away from me! What are you guys going to do to me? i'm not doing this!!!"

Mu Sicheng was a bit confused, he could hear that the voice just now was Tang Er Ta's voice, so he slowed down the speed of his motorcycle's sprint and asked hesitantly, "You got Tang Er Ta out of the Heresy Handling Bureau, and you've got him under control?"

Bai Liu held up his cell phone to Tang Er, who was tied to the hair washing seat with a head full of foam struggling violently, "You can interpret it that way."

"Let go of me!!!" Tang Er hit looked at the beautician who was holding up a black tape-like object near him with creepy eyes, "Let me down!"

"......" Mu Sicheng both gloats and has mixed feelings, "What are you doing to him? Torturing him? This is the real world, Bai Liu, don't go too far."

Bai Liu tried to explain: "- I did not torture Tang Er."

There was a muffled grunt in the background of a grown man being tortured to death.

Mu Sicheng stopped the motorcycle, twelve thousand percent in disbelief, "Then what are you doing to him?"

"Full body grooming." - Bai Liu looks over to Tang Er's legs, which are covered in depilatory tape, "Removing his leg hair, to be exact."

The beauty store girl grimaced as she grabbed the end of the tape and ripped it down with a swish.

Tang Er hit clenched his fists and let out another stifled grunt as he looked over at Bai Liu almost pleadingly with hidden tears in his eyes, "--Why do I have to make this stuff?!"

"I don't know." Bai Liu shrugs, "Just ask Mu Ke, he brought us to this beauty store and ordered you this top of the line hair and beauty package."

Tang Er fights to look at Mu Ke.

Mu Ke smiled a springy smile, "This is the best male celebrity grooming store I know of in the industry, a lot of popular traffic comes here for their styling and grooming, and I think that being equally open for business, maybe this is a better fit for you, Captain Tang."

The beauty girl concurred, "That's right, that's right! Big star Zhao Muchi also got her facial done here, and she's been popular for years! Two hit dramas this year!"

She said with a smirk on her face while her hands ripped another one with no effort at all.

Tang Er hit back a breath of cold air, hard to say, "That is not necessary to do this, I do not show my legs on TV ......"

"I think it's necessary, who knows, in case you ever show your legs?" Mu Ke took two steps up closer to Tang Er to fight, a friendly smile on his face, "We want to make sure every part of your body appeals to the audience."

Showing legs on TV ...... attracts viewers ......

The little sister who was tearing off the tape took one look at Tang Er hitting the perfect and fit body and couldn't help but have a weird expression on her face.

Mu Ke's eyes glanced back to make sure Bai Liu's back was turned to him while he was talking to Mu Sicheng on the phone, and quickly lowered his head to whisper in Tang Er's ear, the smirk on his face unabated, "When you drowned Bai Liu in the first place, did you ever feel that it wasn't necessary?"

Tang Er hit the ground with a faint thump.

After saying this, Bai Liu, who was talking to Mu Sicheng, turned around.

Mu Ke quickly stepped back and pulled away from Tang Er 打, then very gently looked at Tang Er 打's tape-covered legs and said softly, "--The package I ordered for you is the highest level, no need to be polite with me, I'll cover all the money, and I'm ordering the full-body, semi-permanent, handmade hair removal for you specially. It hurts a little, but it's effective."

Mu Ke smilingly patted Tang Er hit the reddened thigh that was torn: "Turn into a big handsome man after you want to do good business for the sake of our battle team ah, Captain Tang."

Tang Er, whose entire body is starting to ache, hits "......"

The beauty girl grabbed the tape close to Tang Er Ta's inner thighs and pulled it down hard when Tang Er Ta and Mu Ke weren't talking!

Looking at Tang Er, who was gradually becoming lifeless in the chair, Bai Liu compassionately gave Mu Sicheng the location of the beauty parlor where they were.

Mu Sicheng removed the headphones that were emitting various muffled grunts of pain with a wooden face.
