Chapter 6813: New Competition System
Chapter 6813: New Competition System
Hearing what Li You said, Chen Xi glanced at it and was too lazy to say anything. Only Li You would do something like asking Xu Yue to take a test. What's more, Chen Xi doubted very much that Li You had been infected by the so-called fun people in this matter.
"Let me ask a question. First of all, I don't quite understand this. I'm just suggesting that why the preliminary round doesn't have a dream selection mode? In this way, don't we have to worry about the competition system and time issues? Anyway, the number of veterans who can come to Chang'an to participate in the competition is no more than fifteen hundred, right?" Liu Yan raised his hand and asked with some confusion.
"The preliminary selection can be done like this, but this also requires a competition system. Otherwise, you can't just open a piece of land with mountains and water and throw more than a thousand people in." Chen Xi explained casually. He had thought about turning on the dream mode before, which would greatly preserve the combat effectiveness of the veterans, and it would also completely avoid casualties and eliminate some hatred at the same time.
The problem is that even with this version, you have to have a competition system. Otherwise, it will be like what Mi Zhu said before, some people have friends all over the world, while some people have enemies all over the map. If Zhang Yong enters this kind of competition system, let alone Zhang Ping, Yin Zhi, and Su Zong, as long as they can participate, they will definitely bring people to deal with Zhang Yong. By then, the members of Zhang Yong's Victims Association will rush in, and even Zhang Yong will be finished.
This is not a question of whether Miracle can fight, but that there are too many enemies and Miracle can't hold up.
The same goes for Huang Tao. With this kind of play, Huang Tao is almost guaranteed to pass. He can even not make a move at all and just hang out in the field. As long as the others are not fools, they will definitely not provoke Huang Tao. Huang Tao is very mobile and looks for fun everywhere, and he can pass without making a move at all.
This kind of competition system gives too obvious advantages to archers and highly mobile soldiers. It is too unfriendly to those legions that have to fight head-on and rely on their super defensive capabilities to survive.
Therefore, even if we are doing a battle royale, we have to consider the competition system, otherwise it will be too unfair to certain types of soldiers.
"Can we create such a large-scale connected dream now?" Guan Yu said with some surprise. Didn't they say that if there were too many people in such a dream, there would be all kinds of problems? Now, it is possible to connect thousands of people to do this together.
"In the past, Rome was able to send tens of thousands of people into a dream-like state to fight together. Our technology is also being innovated." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Isn't that because of Tianzhou?" Fa Zheng looked surprised. Wasn't it because there was a small world like Tianzhou that could withstand the backlash that allowed Rome to do so well? Although Tianzhou was also destroyed later, wasn't the general logic because of the existence of Tianzhou?
The others also looked surprised, wondering when the technology had innovated to this level, easily connecting thousands of people into the same dream and performing such sophisticated operations. This was no simple task, and it meant that subsequent training and the like could be carried out in this way.
"You guys, you've already said it's because of the Tianzhou, but you still don't understand what Zichuan used as a replacement." Jia Xu said to the group with a sigh, "There are small worlds all over the map, and we just grabbed a suitable one to use as a carrier. Although it's not as good as the Tianzhou, it's essentially the same."
"Huh." Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he understood it in an instant. This was indeed the logic. As long as there was a suitable carrier, it could indeed be played this way, but there would be a lot of modifications required.
"It's roughly the situation Wenhe mentioned. I had someone capture a small world and develop it for this purpose. During this period, we also made a lot of modifications to the small world. At present, it can indeed accommodate more than a thousand people to perform delicate operations inside." Chen Xi nodded and said, "It can be regarded as an accumulation of technology. Overall, it's okay, but it still needs further development."
"Let's use this. Don't talk about fairness." Liu Bei made the decision directly. "In a war, it's strange to talk about fairness. In the first round, we should do what Weishuo said. It's a county with mountains, rivers, cities, and plains. Then, 1,800 veterans are thrown in, and the veterans who have amazing performance in this process are selected."
"Aren't the top three hundred selected?" Zhang Fei asked with some confusion.
"The top 1024 will be selected and then enter the semi-finals." Liu Bei gave his judgment directly.
“If you can get to 524th place, you will get points. No matter what means you use to get to th place, you will get points. The top will advance to the semi-finals, and the remaining will be selected from those who have amazing performances in this game.” Liu Bei gave his advice directly.
"That is to say, luck and strength are equally important, and even if you are unlucky enough to be eliminated first, as long as you have an amazing performance and can pass the evaluation, you can still advance, right?" Chen Xi thought about Liu Bei's proposal and felt that it was acceptable. Only some details needed to be adjusted.
"What if some veterans fall to the ground, dig a hole, bury themselves in the hole and wait for the end?" As a professional in self-protection, Jia Xu directly proposed a very troublesome operation.
"There must be someone with special talents who can search him out, and people withdrew from this dream competition when they died, leaving no corpse behind." Liu Bei thought about it and felt that the veteran would definitely be able to find this kind of guy.
"There are some talents that allow people to fake their deaths, and they act them out. For example, Cao Chuang gave a fleeting look and was beaten up by everyone, and then he dug a hole and buried himself. Considering that he was also a scout, even if he had a talent for reconnaissance, it would be difficult to find him." Li You explained casually.
This really stumped Liu Bei. After all, he knew about Cao Chuang's fleeting glimpse, which was a talent for dying in a substitute's place, and it was completely in line with the setting of disappearing after being beaten. If this happened in the dream world, he would just send someone to die, pretend to quit, and wait for the finale.
"Well, let's load a ranking list." Chen Xi thought for a moment and said, the poison circle is boring, the entire ranking list, all the living people who are still in the dream are on the list, wouldn't that be exposed, "Well, then every once in a while, open the small map to show everyone's coordinates."
"We can't reveal everyone's coordinates. We can only show where there are people on the map. If we reveal everyone's coordinates, it will be easy for the strong to be targeted." Li You said unhappily. The brothers on his side who are confident of making the top 20 all have many enemies.
"How about making the battle more interesting, displaying a small map of everyone's location, and throwing a few special items around so people can get points after holding them for a while?" Guo Jia said maliciously. Chen Xi thought about that kind of scene and felt that it would be easy to create a situation where a group of people would rush over to fight, and then die everywhere.
"Then this depends on how the points are awarded." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, although he felt that Guo Jia was full of malice, this kind of thing was indeed interesting.
"In this case, it will definitely be a points match." Li You thought for a moment and said, "Then how will the points for the tournament be awarded? Two points for each win?"
"In a ring match, there must be someone defending the ring in the end, otherwise some people will be eliminated simply because of being suppressed." Zhuge Liang thought about the situation of some veterans and spoke slowly.
"Then let's have a dream fight, 1024 in the rematch, 32 in the defense." Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and gave his own logic for the competition system. As soon as he said this, everyone present frowned slightly, as this competition system did not fit their idea of seeing who could win first place.
"Just getting first place in points will do." Liu Bei said with a smile.
“Being first in points cannot be proven.” Chen Xi said with a sigh.
"If I were watching from above, they would be risking their lives to fight for the first place. I'm not watching from above, so I don't take it too seriously. Soldiers are there to defend their country, not to be brave and aggressive." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and said with a smile.
"Okay then, let's use this competition system as a basis and study how to assign points." Chen Xi said no more after hearing this. What Liu Bei said did make sense. If Liu Bei didn't go to see it, it would mean that he didn't take it seriously. But if Liu Bei went to see it, those old soldiers were really risking their lives too much. Even if there were professional doctors waiting in the audience, it shouldn't be the reason for the two sides to fight until a river of blood was flowing.
"We also need to study how to defend the title." Guan Yu frowned slightly. Although this competition system does not quite fit the best competition system in Guan Yu's mind, the advantage of the swordsman is not small. Thinking of this, Guan Yu no longer considers the first and second rounds, and began to think about how to defend the title in the third round.
"The points awarded for the second round are also very important." Chen Xi stood at a neutral angle and said seriously, "After all, it's a points system, so the points in each round will be very important."
"Then we have to calculate in advance how to assign points for the first round." Li You naturally thought of Xu Yue. These things had to be assigned to Xu Yue. These days, the more Li You used Xu Yue, the more he felt that Xu Yue was useful. He was simply the best tool man.
"But in this case, the problem of archers in the arena is still not solved." Fa Zheng frowned and said, "Although there are archers like Zhao Sima, most archers suffer a great loss in close combat due to their talent structure. Going to the arena is a weakening for archers. Unless they are at the level of Zhang Zhong, their winning rate is very low."
"The cavalry also has this problem." Zhao Yun said concisely. As a member of the White Horse Volunteers, what would happen if they lost their horses? If the Iron Cavalry lost their horses, they would be fine, and the Wolf Cavalry could continue to fight even if they lost their horses, then if the White Horse lost their horses, they would be completely finished.
"But it's a bit too harsh for the infantry to ride cavalry on horses to the ring." Chen Xi explained, "However, the cavalry should not ride horses. Cavalry that can't turn into horses by themselves means they are not strong enough, so they should not ride them."
Hearing Chen Xi's teasing words, Zhang Fei naturally glanced at Chen Xi. What kind of nonsense is this? What does it mean that he can't conjure up cavalry? He is still not strong enough!
"But we can put the cavalry issue aside for now. After all, those who can become cavalry can use their elite talents to cover their mounts. The strength of their talents is stronger than that of infantry, so it is not incomprehensible that they don't ride horses." Hua Xiong added fuel to the fire. Anyway, it didn't matter if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry didn't ride horses. It just meant they were missing some equipment.
"There is also the issue of weapons. If they are not allowed to use weapons, some types of soldiers will be doomed." Guo Jia also spoke up to veto Chen Xi's earlier announcement of this event. "How much combat effectiveness will the Ruishi still have without the sword he has kept for more than ten years?"
"Full armor and no weapons combat has too great an advantage for heavy infantry, especially the heavy infantry wearing super heavy armor, mainly tiger guards. The advantage in this kind of competition system is too obvious." Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Xu Chu and said expressionlessly. He could lose to anyone but not to Xu Chu!
"The lethality of some legions depends entirely on the strength of their weapons. Without commonly used weapons, their combat effectiveness will basically drop." Liu Bei also agreed with this point. "You all know Han Duan, he is a very obvious example. Now he is still studying which handheld weapon to use. This is not a question of whether there are weapons or not, this is directly a question of whether there are commonly used weapons or not."
Han Duan is the guy whose right arm was cut off in the Ganges River and who returned to Jizhou to serve as the city gate commander. After his right arm was cut off, he practiced his left-hand sword hard, and then he improved his left-hand sword to seventeen cuts. When he was in Jizhou, he rescued Liu Bei who was targeted by a group of archers, and his left-hand sword broke through to eighteen cuts.
That is what we call reaching the peak again.
This kind of sharp warrior, even if he lost an arm, is still a top veteran. Then the problem arises. This year, due to the technological innovation of the Kushan Empire, the Han Dynasty acquired new technology and began to treat the injuries of disabled veterans. Han Duan received the treatment in the middle of the year, and now his right arm has been successfully reattached.
This was undoubtedly a good thing. After all, he had both arms. His right hand had reached the limit of 18 cuts when he was alive. After it was chopped off, he worked hard to practice his left-hand sword to the limit of 18 cuts as well. Now that Xiaoyou had returned, Han Duan thought that he would soon become the most powerful warrior in history. 18 consecutive cuts with both hands was simply against the will of heaven.
Then a new accident happened. The enhanced weapons led by Han Duan could not withstand what Han Duan made. There was no other way. There were two reasons why Rui Shi's sword could cut through everything. One was Rui Shi's belief that he would die if he did not advance, and the other was the demon god raised by Zang Shen and the sword.
When the two are combined, it becomes the basis for the Sharp Warrior to chop anything into pieces.
So the question is, how many demons does Han Duan have? Han Duan only has one.
To be precise, Rui Shi either has no demon god or only has one demon god, because Rui Shi has only one sword. From the time Duan Xing created Rui Shi to now, he has never used two swords, and they have all reached the level of Eighteen Slashes, which can raise a demon god.
To put it bluntly, if Duan Ying knew about this situation in his grave, he would pretend to be an old man looking at his phone and carefully study what was going on.
In short, Han Duan has now practiced the Eighteen Cuts with both hands, but the Demon God only has one sharp warrior without the Demon God, who is just an ordinary elite backbone. He does not have the concept of cutting everything. As a result, Han Duan, who only has a sword he raised himself, now begins to think about which hand he should hold the sword. He feels that neither hand feels right. He is now studying how to break the sword and add some materials to recast it into two.
The Sword Demon God did not express any comments on this, because the Sword Demon God, who had been hungry for three days and nine meals a day, was only worthy of lying in the sword. Considering that if the sword was really broken and had to be recast in two, the Sword Demon God might really be split by Han Duan. After all, this kind of thing itself is a metaphysical concept. As long as Han Duan feels that if he divides it equally, he will have two swords he is used to, then he might really have two Sword Demon Gods.
After all, the Sword Demon God has become like this, there is really nothing to tell apart, and all one can do is lie down and accept the consequences.
Liu Bei didn't know these things, but he at least knew that after Han Duan had his right arm reattached, he had been thinking about which hand he should use the sword with. Then no matter how he used other weapons, he felt something was wrong. Even when Liu Bei gave Han Duan a magic sword, Han Duan also felt something was wrong.
Liu Bei could only simply attribute this to the fact that some veterans had to use their usual weapons in order to unleash their amazing combat effectiveness.
After all, look at Han Duan, right? He used his usual weapon and shaved the stone into a flat top with one sword. But when he used the magic sword, he couldn't even cut the granite into a smooth surface like a mirror because he was not used to it.
Therefore, using standard equipment is also a sanction for some people.
"Let's study this further." Chen Xi also had a headache. There were too many types of veterans, and too many of them were special. He didn't have any good solution. He could only take all factors into consideration and make it relatively fair. He couldn't let the overall event become strange just to take care of those special guys. Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
"It's okay. There's still some time left, and some veterans haven't come back yet. Besides, there's the Cao family. I guess the Cao family will send veterans to participate in the military exercise later. After all, they finally captured the two counties in the Kabul Valley, which completely reversed the decline. They have to come and show their faces." Zhuge Liang said calmly, "It's just right to meet the so-called elite backbone of the previous generation who have recovered their youth."
"The success rate of the oath talent is very low, and if those people had succeeded before, it shouldn't have dragged on until now." Li You asked with some curiosity.
"Maybe there is something we don't know about. After all, a lot of things were lost during the Luoyang-Chang'an trip." Jia Xu glanced at Li You and said, indicating that Li You should not dwell on this matter as it would be bad for everyone. Li You understood immediately and said no more.
"I asked the Weiwei about this. Weiwei Ruan Gong is an old man from the Luoyang and Chang'an eras, so he knows some things. But he said that he had only heard rumors and didn't know the real situation." Man Chong explained. He also managed veterans, so sometimes he would communicate with Ruan Gong and ask him about it. Generally speaking, Ruan Gong would not deliberately conceal anything.
"What rumor?" Chen Xi asked with some curiosity.
“Ruan Gong said that when he was on duty in Luoyang, he heard that the Southern Army still existed, but was hidden behind the scenes. During the Chang'an period, he vaguely heard people say that Fu Wan had rebuilt the Southern Army at that time, but he was not sure whether this Southern Army was the original Southern Army or just the same name.” Man Chong simply told Chen Xi what he had obtained from Ruan Gong.
"The Fifth Lieutenant of the Southern Army?" Jia Xu raised his eyebrows slightly. His ancestors were somewhat famous during the Western Han Dynasty, so naturally they left behind some fragments of the Fifth Lieutenant of the Southern Army. In addition, Jia Xu was in a high position now, so he could also access some information that he could not access before. By comparison, Jia Xu still knew a lot of things. "It's probably just the same name, but since he knows and uses this name, he probably knows something, and he may even be in charge of these things. But it doesn't matter. The era of the Southern Army has long passed, and it was abolished during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty."
"But what happened in the Cao family is not simple. There are so many rejuvenated elite backbones. Aren't you curious?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.
"The oath binding can make old soldiers regain their youth. The only problem is the difficulty of the oath binding. Many times, completing the oath binding is useless. What is happening on the Cao side now is more like someone forcibly activated the oath binding." Liu Bei pointed out the key point incisively.
After all, compared to the few words that others can get, the information Liu Bei can get is far greater than these people. Some knowledge and intelligence have become difficult to obtain because of time, but for Liu Bei, as long as this kind of information exists among the veterans, he can always get it.
For example, when Liu Bei's civil officials had not yet reached a definite conclusion about the intelligence about Cao, Liu Bei had already obtained accurate information from some older veterans.
"Activate the oath binding by force? Is it possible?" Chen Xi was shocked after hearing this. He naturally thought of the Taishan old soldier Wang Mao whom he met before the Battle of the Ganges. He was a veteran from the Central Guards, sixty-seven years old. He should be seventy-one or seventy-two now. With the eighth level of smelting, if he can activate the oath binding and restore his youth, he will definitely be a top-notch warrior!
"Well, I asked the Three Rivers and Five Schools in Chang'an, or General Duan's personal guards, or the imperial guards during the Xiyuan years. Those old people said that there were rumors in Chang'an before that someone could strip away talents and then activate them. It was said that it was an old man from the Southern Army. Now it seems that he has run away to the Cao family, or to be more direct, he has been moved away with the Cao family." Liu Bei said calmly, and he was not surprised at all by receiving the news.
"Those people said that this kind of activation would only last for a period of time and would not last long. There was even an old man who told me clearly that stripping away the talent would cause extreme harm, so it was sealed up or something." Liu Bei thought about it and then an old warrior in his seventies heard him asking this and told him solemnly that this thing was extremely dangerous and asked him to stay away from it, saying that it was sealed up because it was very dangerous or something.
Liu Bei wanted to ask further, but the old man was obviously secretive. Although he knew something, he hesitated for a long time and finally did not tell Liu Bei.
