Glory [e-sports]

One characteristic of the big brawl was that once the killing began, the players would grow exponentially in strength.

In order to make the game more stimulating, the game system had set the equipment and skill point drop rate to increase gradually in intensity.

For example, at the start, when everyone was in the outer ring of the island, most of the drops were low-level equipment like the iron sword, wooden staff, and cloth armor. As the players advanced towards the center of the island, the equipment level that could be picked up grew higher and higher, and special skills would also appear.

These so-called special skills could also be called open skills.

Players could use these skills regardless of what initial talent specs they’d chosen.

The various teams were still exploring the exact effects of these open skills, but the ones they knew of included: flash (a long distance movement skill), heal (recover a certain amount of health), enchant (seduce an enemy within range and control them for 1 second), and speed (greatly increase movement speed for a period of time)…

Many skills carried over from 5v5, but there were also some unique skills, like enchant.

The test server had only been open for a short time. They still needed more data from various games to determine what other special skills existed.

Out of all 100 people on the map, the only thing that was known for sure was that Close, who’d gotten First Blood, had a special skill.

The camera director was very evil. They refused to show Close’s skill panel, so even the audience watching the live broadcast didn’t know what special skill he had.

Commentator: “There’s no rush. The answer will be revealed when Close uses his skill.”

The scrolling comments were filled with booing. The audience was angry that they were purposely keeping people guessing.

Even the audience didn’t know what skill he’d obtained, let alone the players in the game.

They only knew that Close had a special skill.

If they killed Close, they could pick up all of his gear, including his special skill!

So, that led to the question…

Kill Close? Who could achieve that?!

Wei Xiao’s heart was delighted: Captain had taken First Blood. Okay then, the happiness he felt was like he’d gotten First Blood himself!

He picked up Soo Chanhee’s equipment and poked out a line of text for him, “Don’t be anxious, I’ll rush into the final circle with your legacy.”

Soo Chanhee was a very authentic Korean player and couldn’t understand what he’d written.

There were some Korean fans who knew Chinese. They translated his words, and then…

“Ahhhhh, God Kim, kill this arrogant little brat!”

They all swarmed over to watch Kim Sung-hyun’s game perspective, waiting for the moment when the most powerful ADC knocked down this stinky brat!

But their God Kim was currently in a sorry plight.

Kim Sung-hyun had landed in D Zone, the Shining Gold Temple.

The Shining Gold Temple, Kim Sung-hyun, and one of God Kim’s representative talents, the gold hunter, all added up to a very wonderful ‘coincidence’.

To hell with coincidence. This must’ve been arranged by the game organizers!

The name ‘Shining Gold Temple’ seemed more normal than Moonlight Wetland and Falling Star Lake. There shouldn’t be any problems in the environment of a temple, which was just a building.

But players who thought that way were too naive!

The temple was indeed a building. From its appearance, it seemed very magnificent, like a Gothic style church with sharp spires that reached up into the clouds. Numerous figures were carved into the deep entrance hall. Each one was different, and their only similarity was their indifferent gazes, which were all focused on a propped up golden skull.

The Shining Gold Temple?

It was clearly a church of evil!

Its appearance was gloomy and terrible, and the interior was even more sinister.

When the players were transferred over, they landed in a maze.

The minimap was covered with fog, and the players could only see the location of the aura. If players wanted to disperse the fog, they could only run around the map and explore constantly.

The Shining Gold Temple’s interior was relatively safe because the map was large enough that finding an opponent to fight with wasn’t so easy. However… the maze was too deadly!

Those who had a bad sense of direction could just wait for death inside––this was even more depressing than being killed by others!

Although Kim Sung-hyun was a marksman, he was a high-end marksman who could fight against the earth, the heavens, and even the air. He absolutely wasn’t afraid of going up and fighting against people face to face.

However, this type of terrain gave him a very big headache.

There were two major stains in God Kim’s life: One was the shitty Chinese that Teacher Yuan had taught him, and the other was his terrible sense of direction, which was bad enough to make people’s mouths drop open in shock.

In the early days of the Team of Gods, Kim Sung-hyun had gotten lost and had been picked up by Close three times, brought home by Yuan Ze four times, walked off with Xie He five times, and been left behind by Yuan Ze six times…

This three, four, five, six times had already become memes. It wasn’t until Kim Sung-hyun returned to Korea and ‘teamed up’ with the human shaped artificial navigation system Li Heran that things changed for the better.

Now…

The game organizers were really inhumane. Tossing God Kim into the golden maze on his own was really…

Korean fans watched for a while, then calmed down. “Forget it, forget it, don’t worry about killing those stinky brats for now. God Kim, take care of yourself first!”

Miserable. He was really miserable. Just looking at how each competition zone already had players who’d shown up on the rankings was enough to make the Korean audience very anxious!

There was another person in the golden temple. Their ID was Close Has Super Endurance, and the player was Fu Li.

The audience soon discovered this magical person.

The maze was difficult to walk around in because there were too many split paths. Going through them one by one took up too much time, and players would become increasingly upset with each dead end they encountered.

Fu Li wasn’t upset or frustrated, and he didn’t waste any time.

He picked up a second level ebony staff soon after he landed. His luck was pretty good; for a mage, being able to pick up this ebony staff in the early stages was equivalent to doubling their DPS.

In the entire Shining Gold Temple, with this ‘god level weapon’ in hand, even Kim Sung-hyun might not be able to gain any benefits from him if they ran into each other and started fighting.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that after Fu Li picked up this staff, he could dominate and become the king in the Shining Gold Temple in a short period of time!

Unfortunately, this man didn’t waste a single second and traded the ebony staff without any reluctance even before it entered his backpack!

At first, the audience was confused. “Did his hand slip?”

The domestic TPT fans: “Would our Captain Fu make such a low-level mistake?”

“Panicking, panicking, I’m panicking.”

Someone with a clearer perspective guessed, “He’s worthy of being a data emperor. He really did enough homework!”

Fu Li traded his ebony staff in exchange for two pairs of high level shoes.

The movement speed bonus for shoes in 5v5 couldn’t be stacked up, but it was different in the big brawl mode. Bonuses from identical pairs of shoes couldn’t be stacked up, but 50% of the bonus from a second pair of a different pair of shoes could be stacked. 25% of a third pair of shoes could also be stacked… and so on, with decreasing returns.

There were seven types of shoes in the shop. One of them was called speed-walking shoes. As its name suggested, wearing it increased movement speed.

Fu Li bought a second pair of shoes, cooldown shoes which reduced skill cooldown times.

His choices were very ingenious. Not only had he greatly increased his movement speed, he’d also reduced the cooldown time of his skills as much as possible. It had to be known that spirit mages were mages with multiple movement skills. If the cooldown time was short, then it could constantly shift and move around, which was another way of increasing movement speed.

After this series of actions were completed, everyone was shocked––

‘Close Has Super Endurance’ was now a woman who moved like the wind (the talent design was female). It was very possible that there was nobody in the entire map who could catch up to her!

While D Zone’s overlord, God Kim, was still bumping into dead ends that left his head covered in bumps, Fu Li was already getting close to the exit to the maze.

The game officials became even more cruel and provided another ranking.

The rankings for players closest to the Central Zone––

In first place was Close Has Super Endurance.

He was a full 800 meters ahead of second place.

Fans from all over the world burst into laughter when they saw this ranking flash up.

It didn’t mean much.

There wasn’t anything wrong with the ranking. After all, it was a competition system that relied on running around the map, and paying attention to the players’ position was a required part of the game.

But, this ID!

Close Has Super Endurance was translated into several languages, and the great demon king once again became famous in the world in a very strange way.

Captain Fu knew nothing about all of this. He was nothing but a ruthless map running machine.

He had to pick up equipment, pick up skill points, run out of the maze, rush to the Central Zone, and enter the final circle.

Ranking wasn’t important. The important thing was collecting, collecting, and more collecting!

Due to Super Endurance’s brilliant feat, many members of the audience began to pay attention to this player and soon learned that this was the China competition zone’s TPT team’s team captain. They then began to focus on another player from TPT––Eurostar.

Eurostar had been sent to E Zone’s Thousand Needle Forest.

The Thousand Needle Forest also had its own characteristics. From the words ‘thousand needle forest’, it should have been designed to be a pine forest?

After all, pine leaves were shaped like needles, so it wouldn’t be too overboard to call them thousand needle trees.

Those who thought this way had underestimated Glory’s bastard game planners.

Thousand, needle, forest.

They’d taken the literal meaning of these words. The ground was filled with sharp ice needles. They covered the entire E Zone, and from afar, it looked like a lush jungle.

But what grew in this jungle weren’t trees. They were all needles.

Ordinary players who were transferred to this place would really start crying for their parents.

There were needles everywhere. If one didn’t pay attention to where they were walking, they would lose health. There weren’t many medicine bags that could be collected in the outer ring. If a player’s health dropped continuously like this, they wouldn’t even have to fight before they came close to death.

This place really tested the players’ positioning skills.

In the 5v5 canyon, good positioning could evade an opponent’s skills, allowing them to seize opportunities and go against the flow of the battle.

In the Thousand Needle Forest, players who couldn’t position themselves well when they walked would be eliminated.

In fact, Eurostar was still doing alright when faced with the Thousand Needle Forest After all, he was an ADC who survived by relying on his positioning, so he wouldn’t accidentally step onto a needle and stab himself to death.

What was giving him more of a headache was his opponent.

As soon as he landed, his sharp eyes had noticed––Xiehe, Moonlit.

Oh god!

The terrible memories from winter training camp surged up into his mind, and Eurostar almost committed suicide on the ice needles on the spot.

Why?

Why was he in the same zone as these two difficult thorns!

Why?

Why couldn’t he be in the same zone as the gentle and kind God Yan!
