Chapter 2580 Rock, Paper, Scissors

Ten minutes later, the situation in the siege grid was settled!

At this time, the siege grid was roughly divided into three camps. Two of the camps were naturally divided according to whether they supported the Emperor Update. There were about 20,000 to 30,000 people on both sides, mainly NPCs, with only a small number of players.

As for the third camp, it was naturally the players led by Liu Xing, with less than 3,000 people, including NPCs like Crocodile.

Logically, Crocodile should have returned to the Crocodile City team, but the problem was that after Crocodile looked around, he did not find the trace of the Crocodile City Governor, and at the same time he saw a few familiar figures, so Crocodile knew that most of the people who entered the grid from Crocodile City were gone, just like after he met Liu Xing and others, only a fraction of his more than 500 men were left.

As for whether to join the camp against the Emperor of Renewal, Crocodile decided to stand on the side of Liu Xing and others after struggling for a while. First, he had already thought about going outside to take a look after all this was settled. Second, as a defeated general, he was too ashamed to see the elders of Jiangdong again.

Of course, more importantly, Crocodile was arrogant before, looking down on this and that, so he offended many people, but these people did not dare to provoke him at will because Crocodile was really capable. This made Crocodile more confident, and he did not encounter the Waterloo of his life until today.

So Crocodile knew very well that if he went to the camp against the Emperor of Renewal at this time, many people would probably stand up and accuse him, or even try to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. Of course, Crocodile was the chicken.

Therefore, after some thinking, Crocodile decided to stay with Liu Xing as a bodyguard, responsible for Liu Xing's safety.

To be honest, Liu Xing felt that if Crocodile had not had some "misunderstandings" with him before, he would really think that he was a bodyguard who could bring him a sense of security.

So Liu Xing is still looking forward to Crocodile's work for him after he came to Tianshui Town. If nothing unexpected happens, he can become the first fierce general under his command.

Or give him the Dragon Spear to play with?

Liu Xing looked at Crocodile's body grid and felt that this man should be able to use the Dragon Spear, but he didn't know how strong his mental strength was and whether he could withstand the mental pressure brought by the Dragon Spear.

As for why Liu Xing and others did not join a certain camp, but simply stood in the middle as a fence-sitter, it can only be said that they had no choice.

Originally, Liu Xing wanted to join Yunqi and others when he saw them. After all, he entered the grid array with them at the beginning, and he also got some help from them. For example, the equipment on his body had obvious characteristics of Yuncheng. Liu Xing estimated that some NPCs familiar with Yuncheng would know what his group came from when they saw the equipment on him and others.

However, more and more players joined Liu Xing's team at this time. The miscellaneous equipment on them also made Liu Xing see that these people also received help from a certain city, so Liu Xing and others looked like a group of defeated soldiers gathered together.

Combined with the fact that few people in Crocodile City entered the grid array at this time, everyone knew that some people had either not entered the siege grid or had already fallen in a grid.

Therefore, Liu Xing's defeated soldiers and scattered soldiers may be their own people in the eyes of the NPCs of the other two camps, so they let Liu Xing and others stay aside to watch the fun, instead of directly taking action to clear Liu Xing's potential threats.

That's right, Liu Xing and others at this time were Schrodinger's cats in the eyes of those NPCs. Before opening the box, they were in a superposition state of friendly forces and enemies, so it would be better not to act casually at this time.

But more importantly, the number of NPCs in the two camps is now similar, so their team of evenly matched opponents dare not act casually against the third party forces, because this is likely to be taken advantage of by the enemy!

So Liu Xing and others were like the young man sandwiched between two boxers, playing the role of a buffer zone. . . Of course, although this young man was a little weak, he was not easily controlled by others.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Liu Xing took everyone back a few steps and kept a distance from the tens of thousands of NPCs.

After all, there is still a problem that Liu Xing and others have accepted Luo Ye's mission invitation, and Luo Ye only gave a one-sentence reply at this time-wait for good news.

So Liu Xing and others did not dare to make any big moves at this time, lest they suddenly happen to something because of Luo Ye's mission, such as fainting directly, so they could only wait and see.

In this process, many people entered the siege grid one after another, but they were almost "absorbed" by the two camps. As for the absorption method, it is hard to say.

Of course, occasionally a few players would join Liu Xing's team, and Zhang Jingxu and others would go to contact them as soon as possible, and they really developed several undercovers.

However, these undercover agents are just a casual move for Liu Xing and others, so there are not many requirements for them. They can just continue to play the game as they should and reveal their true identities when necessary.

Of course, you still have to pay attention to some important information.

"Ahem, since the number of people now is enough, let's start this mission."

At this moment, Master Luo's voice appeared in Liu Xing's mind, "The task I want to give you is also very simple. That is to find other people who have accepted this task in the siege grid, and through the process you all agree The winner will advance and wait for the start of the next round, while the loser will be eliminated and leave the grid.”

Um?

That's it?

Liu Xing really never thought that Luo Ye's task would be so simple and unpretentious. It was just a standard knockout process. However, the items in this knockout round were left to the players of both sides to choose by themselves, so Liu Xing only thought of two at this time. Word - guessing game.

Under the current circumstances, guessing is the most suitable competition event, because guessing has no requirements on the venue. Even winning two out of three games only takes a few seconds. Of course, if you add in the thinking time, it will only take a few seconds. About minutes, and most of the time this guessing game is about luck, and occasionally some psychological games are added.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing sighed and looked at Zhang Jingxu, "Old Zhang, rock, paper, scissors, can the outcome be determined by one hand?"

"no problem."

Zhang Jingxu smiled and said, "Come on, if we decide the outcome, Lao Liu, don't be too clever. Let's just solve the problem in one second."

They are all old friends, and Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu still have a good understanding of each other, so after looking at each other and smiling, they started playing guessing games.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Liu Xing, stone.

Zhang Jingxu, scissors.

"Congratulations on advancing to the next round. Please rest for a while until the next round starts."

As soon as Mr. Luo finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu suddenly disappeared in front of Liu Xing.

At this time, Liu Xingcai belatedly realized that the eliminated players would leave the grid early, so he was sending Zhang Jingxu away personally?

There is another question, that is, where will players who leave the grid early be sent?

If he didn't return the same way, he would have to be sent to the palace of Emperor Xinxin.

etc.

At this time, Liu Xing realized something belatedly, that is, the players participating in this mission were all his right-hand men, so after the mission was over, he would have no one left to use!

He may even be kicked out of the grid in advance, and then the thousands of players who finally got together will be leaderless.

It seems that he must determine the successor in advance.

As a lover of historical novels, Liu Xing is also very aware that if the emperor in history does not determine the prince in advance like the new Dragon Emperor, various problems will arise, especially when the emperor is killed for various reasons. If he died early, the problem would be even greater.

So Liu Xing, who had learned from the past, decisively chose to call Long San and Li Mengyao over first.

That's right, at this time Liu Xing only thought of two more suitable candidates - Long San and Yang De. The reason why he called Long San and Li Mengyao over first instead of bringing Yang De was because Because Liu Xing had different instructions for them.

This is like the one-click configuration of talents in some games. Long San and Yang De represent two completely different styles of play. Among them, Long San definitely represents the word "stable", while Yang De represents One word - hit!

Yang De has already demonstrated his abilities at this time and has been recognized by most players. After all, his one-on-one duel with Crocodile amazed the surrounding players and thought it was in line with their idea of ​​a one-on-one duel between generals. , plus Yang De has a pretty good personality, so I also met a lot of new friends in this event.

Not to mention that Yang De had already become Liu Xing's right-hand man before the event started, and he could be regarded as having the ability to follow the dragon, so this allowed most players to accept him as Liu Xing's temporary commander. . . Although Yang De is not a reckless man, as a sharp knife who must be at the forefront, he must also have a deputy to assist him.

So who is this deputy?

It has to be Li Mengyao.

That's right, no matter whether Long San or Yang De takes over his position temporarily, Liu Xing feels that their deputy must be Li Mengyao. This is not only because Li Mengyao has a close relationship with him, but also because Li Mengyao can play a critical role no matter what. Always display a badge exclusive to the Cthulhu area!

You must know that this badge is very valuable, because in the previous regional promotion modules, as long as you are lucky enough and have a few reliable teammates around you to help you, then you just need not to be completely reckless or have extremely bad luck. You can pass the promotion module, but in the Cthulhu area, you must show excellent performance to prove yourself, and only then can you have a chance to become the leader in the Cthulhu team game hall.

It's like mathematics, if you can, you can, if you can't, you can't, there isn't much in between.

So isn't there a good joke recently? There may be buried new Ronaldos and Jordans in this school, as well as Beethoven and Leonardo da Vinci, but there will never be a buried Gauss.

Look at many math geniuses nowadays. Basically, they have shown their talents since they were a few years old, and they have taken three steps step by step. When their peers have just entered middle school, they are already in the ivory tower of the university. So when someone who has been receiving normal education suddenly shows his amazing math talent in his teens, Liu Xing can only think of two words-system.

The Cthulhu area in the Cthulhu running group game hall is roughly equivalent to mathematics. It is difficult for you to become a member of the Cthulhu area by taking shortcuts. . . Of course, if Liu Xing hadn't had Ao Guanhai to assist him, he would not have allowed Tian Qing and Li Mengyao to enter the Cthulhu area.

However, Liu Xing also knew that Ao Guanhai was not helping him sincerely, but wanted to use Tian Qing and Li Mengyao to restrict him. This was also a hidden threat. After all, Tian Qing and Li Mengyao were new players in the Cthulhu running group game hall. It would be impossible for them to gain a foothold in the Cthulhu area without the help of their own group.

However, others don't know how Li Mengyao got the badge of the Cthulhu area, so it's okay to use it to scare those people with ulterior motives.

Therefore, Liu Xing positioned Li Mengyao in two words-blank bullets. Although it can't really cause any damage, before it fires, the deterrent effect on the surrounding is no different from that of real bullets.

As for why Liu Xing chose Long San to take over his position besides Yang De, the main reason is to choose the taller one among the short ones, because those who are more suitable than him have accepted Luo Ye's task, and this task is estimated to leave only the last person in the grid array, so now Long San can only take over.

First, Long San is also the first batch of players who joined his team after the event started, and he also performed well.

Second, Long San is also the control group of Yang De. After all, they became Liu Xing's left and right arms one after another, so Liu Xing can't favor one over the other, making the later players feel that he doesn't take care of them.

At this time, Liu Xing felt more and more like an emperor, because he had to learn how to balance the interests of his subordinates so as to avoid conflicts and infighting among them.
