How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

He was not convinced by the latter, perhaps because of personal grudges or his self-esteem.

In addition, he didn't gain much after going online, which made him even more upset. His tone and attitude when talking to the two thieves were not very good, although it was not very good before.

In Lieyan's opinion, this kind of cooperation is totally unnecessary. He could earn more points by working alone, but now he would gain very little because of the drag of these two people. Even if the opponents are the Holy Angels' Thieves Group or the Oath's Elites, they are all drags compared to himself, the Black Hand.

But this was an order from the boss and the league management, so he had to bow his head.

Lieyan is the kind of person who will do his best to enforce the rules even if he is unhappy about it. He has no other thoughts, as can be seen from the fact that he occasionally guides the two of them on some strategies and details for survival in the forest.

But he didn't expect that there was already a gap between the two of them and him.

This became the hidden root of the disaster, but he was not aware of it.

Just when Lieyan had instructed the two to log in as early as possible tomorrow and was about to log off, they suddenly heard the sound of a large group of people rushing forward, accompanied by roars. Before the three could react, another scream was heard.

From the noise, it was obvious that many beasts were coming here, and the sound coming from the back seemed to be that a female player was killed. It was not difficult to guess that someone attracted many monsters and fled here and was killed.

But we cannot rule out whether it is a trap.

Lieyan immediately became alert and asked the two thieves to quietly investigate the situation outside.

What appeared in front of them was a group of wandering Sharp Claw Dire Wolves. There were no other players around, and it was clearly visible that the number 56 was floating above the head of one of the Dire Wolves.

There was a gleam in Lieyan's eyes, and the doubts in his heart were immediately dispelled.

"You two, take away the three on the sides and deal with them as quickly as possible, then help me deal with the six in the middle."

A level 140 monster was something that even the elite front row of a large guild had to be cautious about, but Li Yan was confident that he could withstand the output of six monsters in one go. This was the strength of the Black Hand members.

The two thieves looked at each other and could see each other's surprise.

Having encountered this situation twice in a row, although it didn't seem special, it did make them a little suspicious. However, the two chose not to tell Lieyan about the previous situation. After all, they deliberately concealed those nameplates.

After a brief discussion with the two men, Lieyan chose the moment when the direwolves were about to leave and rushed out first. The knight's sword in his hand slashed down like a rainbow, and in one fell swoop the health of the direwolf at the back was reduced to a quarter.

The Paladin's attack is relatively weak, and he cannot use items to enhance his abilities in the qualifying rounds. Being able to cause such damage to a monster that is more than 20 levels higher than himself already proves that Rock-Splitter is quite powerful.

The attack of the Rock-Splitting Monster immediately attracted the hatred of the Dire Wolf Pack. Even he could not withstand the attacks of nine monsters at the same time, so he needed the cooperation of the other two.

But just as the two thieves were about to step forward and pull away the three dire wolves nearby, the roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded behind them.

Surprisingly, three more dire wolves appeared from behind them.

"Damn..."

Lieyan's heart tightened and he cursed himself for being impulsive and taking action without carefully observing the surrounding situation. However, it was not that there was no way to solve the problem at the moment, it was just that he might have to expose some of his cards.

"One of you will block the monsters behind, and the other will take away the five. I will help you as soon as I can after I get rid of these four dire wolves."

The two thieves were about to curse Li Yan to death in their hearts, but considering their own situation, they could only act on their own. The combat thief of the Oath rushed towards the dire wolves, while the assassination thief of the Holy Angel took out a crossbow and attacked the three dire wolves that suddenly appeared.

The three dire wolves were attracted and immediately attacked the assassin.

The assassination thief's skills are not weak, but the dire wolf is much higher in level, and among monsters of the same level, it is a highly agile type, so it is inevitable that it will be attacked, which is also taken into account by the assassination thief's calculations.

As long as you don't get hit too many times and waste potions, that's the idea of ​​an assassination rogue.

Even with the light of the flares, the vision in the forest was still dim. In addition, due to preconceived ideas and the haste of fighting, they did not notice the difference between these three dire wolves and the other dire wolves.

Until the assassin's chest was scratched by the sharp claws of one of the dire wolves.

The sudden drop of one quarter of his health made him gasp. This was not the damage that an ordinary dire wolf could cause. It was most likely a dire wolf elite.

The purpose of the qualifying round is to decide the winner between players, so Era changed the setting of the Ancient Forest. Monsters are only divided into ordinary and elite, and there are no bosses above them. Otherwise, allowing monsters that are too powerful to be dealt with by a single player to affect the progress of the game would undoubtedly be putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, in the judgment of assassination thieves, only elites can cause such damage.

What he didn't know was that the monster in front of him was not an ordinary monster but not an elite either, but a human-transformed one.

But even if he knew about this, he would never be able to say it out loud.

whoosh-

A figure appeared quietly and stabbed the sharp dagger into his neck.

The sign of dizziness emerges.

Then two consecutive damages sent his health to the bottom.

The assassin reacted and immediately used forced escape purification control, but at this time another dire wolf pounced on him, took over the attacker's position and delivered a fatal blow.

The members of the Holy Angel's Thieves Group had no chance to resist until their death.

Only the sound of falling to the ground alerted his companions.

Chapter 112: End of the First Day

The sound of a heavy object falling behind him startled Lieyan and he felt something was wrong.

He used his shield to fight off several dire wolves that attacked him, and when he turned around, he saw the assassin fall to the ground and turn into white light. The dire wolf next to him that was ready to attack was mistakenly thought to be the culprit.

Even though the Holy Angel's thief was killed by three level 140 monsters, it just sounds incredible.

"Damn it, this piece of rubbish can't even pull three monsters!"

But in this emergency situation, Li Yan didn't have time to think too much, and quickly ordered the remaining combat thief, "Release two monsters to me, and you go stop the monsters behind."

Although he was also surprised that his companion fell to the ground like this, the Oathed Combat Rogue could only grit his teeth and take over the Assassination Rogue's position.

It was already difficult to deal with five dire wolves, and now there was one more, which made him dodge in a hurry. He even used up a bottle of blood recovery potion early to prevent any accidents.

However, if an accident can be prevented, it is no longer an accident.

Just as the combat thief dodged the attacks of two dire wolves and was about to go around the big tree in front to avoid the attack, a ghostly figure appeared silently behind him.

The dagger in his hand reflected the light from the night sky, emitting a sharp cold light.

That is the color of death.

"Fuck them all!"

After hurriedly giving the instructions, Lieyan just turned around and was bitten on the arm by a dire wolf. His health dropped a lot. He gritted his teeth and activated the skills he had retained.

Blood-colored lines spread from his arms, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped around Rift Rock's entire body, as if he had transformed into a Scarlet Knight. A rich blood-colored aura swept through him with every move he made.

Scarlet Sacrifice.

Originally, this trump card was prepared to deal with the later elimination rounds, but now it was exposed in advance due to the failure of the assassin thief. Lieyan, who had completely forgotten the problem of his hasty action, felt even more annoyed. He raised his hand and slashed the knight's sword at the oncoming dire wolf.

With just one casual blow, the level 140 dire wolf's health dropped by half.

This shows how powerful this skill is.

The continuation of the scarlet state comes at the cost of life, and the consumption gradually increases exponentially. Even if the health of the Rockbreaker is nearly 30,000, it cannot be kept open for more than ten seconds.

However, as early as the eighth second, the six dire wolves were slaughtered by him.

After hastily exiting the state, his health had dropped to about 30%, but it was not a problem. According to Lieyan's judgment, he and the remaining thief could easily deal with the remaining six dire wolves.

But just as he drank the blood bottle and turned around to help the oath-bound combat thief.

However, all he saw was the white light of the latter's death and the dim light of six pairs of wolf eyes staring at him covetously in the night.

Of course, there was also the sudden flash of cold light behind him.

The dagger brought up a majestic arc and pierced the darkness of the first night of the qualifying round, leaving the loser's blood as nutrients to feed the forest and welcoming the winner's triumphant harvest and a brand new tomorrow.

It was not until seven o'clock in the morning that I woke up from my sleep. After washing up, I rubbed my still sleepy eyes, yawned, and finished the breakfast made by my mother. I was just about to drink the milk and go online to start a new day's game.

But I was shocked by what my mother said.

"I saw the video of Xiaotong in the qualifying round. Although I don't understand it very well, I heard from others that she seems to be very good. She is worthy of being her mother's daughter. She should keep doing her best."

My mother took the plate away from me and smiled.

I almost choked, coughed a few times, and asked in surprise, "Mom, where did you see it?"

"Xiao Rou posted it to the family group. She said it seemed like it could be seen on some official website. I also watched Youyou and Qiangwei's videos. They were all very impressive. Your grandparents are still showing off to others everywhere."

"I...I want to eat sweet and sour pork for lunch."

My face turned red, and I left the living room in a hurry after saying something.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it all for you. Go slowly and don't fall."

My mother was watching from behind and found it a little funny.

When I got back to my room, I immediately logged onto the Internet using my PDA. My contacts were already filled with congratulations from friends and family, and the notification bar was filled with friend requests from people whose numbers I didn't know how to find.

As there were too many applications, I had no choice but to clear all the notifications. After responding to the congratulations one by one, I learned the specific situation through my father's message.

It turned out that when the second battle started yesterday, my father and his team had already entered the scene, hired a large number of internet trolls, contacted the platform management, and moved the battle videos of members of Alice's Thousand Talents Plan and Hundred Talents Plan to the official forum and other related platforms, and at the same time left messages and pushed the posts to the front page.

In the middle, there is also Godmother Rose and the management of Starry Sky Myth who cooperated in promoting the agreement.

Alice and other members also performed very well, and all of them showed a superb fighting level. In addition, her father specially recruited a large number of editors to process the video, with just the right special effects, matching BGM, and specially selected clips, which caused a sensation on many short video platforms.

As the specific points and rankings of these players increase, they attract the attention of more and more players and even people in real life.

Especially for several outstanding players in the Hundred Talents Program, each of their battle videos has almost millions of views.

Although many consortiums and companies have also targeted the popularity of this annual economic competition, this method of traffic exposure is not too surprising, but it wins by being the first to take advantage.

These investors put all their preparations in the later stages such as the knockout rounds and the top 1,000 rounds, and never thought that someone would bring in capital to buy publicity and promotion directly during the qualifying rounds, and it caused such a big sensation. When they woke up, they also released their own battle videos of masters for publicity, but the effect was not the same after losing the initiative.

Obviously, I am one of the "victims" among them.

Open the newly opened competition section of the forum. Although the bound game account cannot browse the posts, you can still see the points ranking pinned by the official.

After killing three people last night, the number of nameplates on his body has reached 1153, but even so, he is only ranked 6th in the points list.

The first place is the Black King Uncle Caesar, with 1 points, nearly twice his own number. Following closely behind are the President of Empire Epic Rongzhe, the boss of Black Hand Studio Zunwang Rangyi, and Vice President Ares Fazui. The top four are all occupied by warriors. It seems that this profession has a considerable advantage in fighting in forest terrain.

Then it was Gray Leaf, the vice president of the Eternal Spire, and then it was himself.

I took a quick look and found a lot of familiar faces. Godmother Rose, Sister Hookah, Sister Dolan and Sister Coral ranked 28th, 11th, 19th and 36th respectively. Pachinko barely squeezed into the last place at 98th. There were also people like Chu Ci who went against the tide and Sky Deadly Silence.

And many of Alice’s entries made it into the top 100 list.

Ranked after herself is Gray Flowing Years, Sister Qiu Ru is one place after Sister Shuiyan, and Sister Luo Qing is only two places away from her. Sister Ye Yuan, Mei Cecchanmian, Posa, Qing Mingyue, Citong and Xishu are all in the upper middle. What is more surprising is that the two priests, Shi Guangqian and Gray Floating Light, can be ranked relatively close to Sugared Coffee, at 39th, 41st and 37th respectively.

Chapter 113 Video

Beijiu and Makino also made it onto the list, but were ranked relatively low at around the 60th or 70th place.

In a similar position as Wencun and Sister Fengye.

Among the little ones, only Ivan and Cecilia were seen, ranking 12th and 21st respectively.

Because the ranking only shows the top 100, it prevents players behind from seeing their ranking and understanding their current qualifying situation from outside the venue, which would interfere with the progress of the game, so the ranking of others is not known.

However, Alice occupies 19 places in the entire top list, which is enough to show the strength of the guild.

The other big guilds are not much different. The number of people in Empire Epic is exactly the same as Alice, which is worthy of being called an old big guild. In contrast, the Guild Alliance is weak, with only more than 30 people making the list, and most of them are supported by the Storm guild alone. There are only a few people in the Oath, Holy Angels and Valhalla.

Although this is not the final result, there will definitely be major changes as the competition progresses in the next two days.

After closing the forum, I clicked on the official video platform of Era and easily found my own interface - every player who entered the top 100 in points would have the official help to create a special page.

The video below records every battle since the qualifying round, and each video has been played millions of times, which is enough to prove how much traffic my father and his team have invested. Even if the playback is inflated, the comments under the bound game account show that most of the levels are over 90 or 100, which cannot be forged by other means.

This obviously proves one thing: he has become completely famous.

Moreover, unlike the previous assassination attempt on Qiu Lu, the popularity of this annual competition should make his name remembered by players throughout the Orwen Empire.

After taking a look at the comments, I found that the comments under each battle video were different. However, apart from automatically ignoring those about wives and daughters, the vast majority were praises, unlike other videos where there were many discordant voices.

After all, being a loli is always pleasing.

What's more, to be more narcissistic, my appearance is at the level that can attract men, women, young and old.

It is worth mentioning that the top few likes in the comment section under each video are occupied by those little guys, especially the first scene where they met the mechanical alchemist loli——

Yun Xian: (?????) Hahahaha, what’s this, is this just a kind of sympathy between short people?

Yun Qian: But isn’t my sister a little shorter than Mom and the others? [. ???. ]

Cecilia: @Magical Girl Irene, An is out having affairs (；?д?)

Yiwen: ヽ(#`Д?)ノ, love rival, die! An An is my wife!

Many players with the Alice Guild logo left messages under the comments of these little guys to stir up trouble, making the style of the comment section look a little strange.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and look at the comment sections under the other videos.
