The great battle begins: choosing three of four events

"Reporting to the Chongxing, someone here is saying you are a monster and is disrespectful to you!"

I second that.

"I second that."

Only the players in the District 3 truly understand the Chongxing's strength.

He dominated the entire server from level 30 onwards, and now his opponent is level 66.

No one thought he would lose a one-on-one duel.

As soon as the news of the competition came out, all servers must have been urgently convening guilds to discuss countermeasures, and the District 3 was no exception.

"Our biggest advantage is having Chongxing anchor the individual matches; we're guaranteed at least one point."

"This is crucial to the final outcome."

"The next step is to ensure victory in both 2v2 and 5v5 battles," the guild leader of the Dragon Diagram Guild said first.

The Legion Guild is also having a lot of headaches about this event.

As an official organization, they must do their utmost to ensure the safety of all citizens.

However, the Dragon Han population is spread all over the world, and almost every faction has Dragon Han players.

However, game servers are not divided by national borders.

At this moment, within the largest region, the leaders of many guilds were also holding an emergency meeting in the region's communication group to discuss how to respond.

Qin Xiao Youhui, the head of the District 3, was the most relaxed among them.

The situation in his region was the clearest, and since he had a lot of information about other servers, he was also invited to participate in this cross-server meeting.

"The military has guilds in each server, and confidentiality agreements have been signed. Regional leaders are not allowed to actively inquire about intelligence from other servers."

"Don't expect me to go undercover," Qin Xiao Youhui.

Steel Bone from the Hero Alliance couldn't help but click his tongue. "Why are you so stubborn? Rules are rules, but maybe people in other servers have already been secretly investigating."

"However, we in the District 3 don't really need to worry about individual battles—we've practically secured that point."

"But you could at least help us gather information on the other three competition events, otherwise what are we hiring you for?"

Indeed, the participant lists for individual battles and group stages are extremely difficult to ascertain, and each server must maintain strict confidentiality.

Everyone will definitely send out their strongest fighting force.

The power rankings for each server and information on several major guilds are publicly available, which is good.

However, there are some hidden masters and skills, making it easier for the military to obtain this intelligence than for ordinary guilds.

Qin Xiao Youhui, but he understood that it wouldn't be difficult for them to investigate these matters; it would just take more effort and wouldn't be considered a leak of secrets.

"Okay, but I will only provide publicly available rankings of individuals and guilds across all servers."

"We really can't find out the specific participants—they're probably using the same strategy as us, making selections on the fly and changing them at any time; it all depends a lot on luck."

"Anyone who has played games knows that there are no absolutely dominant classes, only top-tier players."

Classes often counter each other: physical classes have high defense and strong control; magic classes have high output and fast movement speed; melee classes can act as front-line tanks, while ranged classes can create distance and kite opponents.

Professional self-control also requires extra attention.

Shield Guard typically have high defense and can suppress archers.

Berserkers' multiple control skills counter Priest, Archers' burst damage poses a great threat to squishy characters, Assassins are difficult to defend against, Swordsmen are well-rounded and hard to counter, and Mages are universally recognized as damage-dealing turrets.

Once a team's class is countered by the opponent, the player's room for maneuver will be greatly reduced.

Choosing the right team composition, especially in 2v2 battles, is the most troublesome part.

During the testing phase, whether or not a team should include Priest sparked considerable debate. If the opposing team fielded a physical damage combination such as Swordsman paired with an assassin, Swordsman paired with Shield Guard, or a berserker paired with an archer, and managed to kill the Priest at the start, the outcome of the battle would almost certainly be decided.

However, if you don't bring Priest, you might encounter a magic-based team. In that case, the Priest's high magic resistance and sustain might actually secure the victory.

As a result, the lineup for the duo became the subject of much debate.

The noise in the conference room only subsided slightly after Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven spoke up to interrupt.

After clarifying the rules, Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven calmly analyzed, "The predicaments faced by each region are actually quite similar."

"Once the system completes the regional matchmaking, the match rosters must be submitted and locked five minutes before the start of the match, which means that it is absolutely impossible to make last-minute changes to the lineup."

"In a sense, it's like a risky gamble, with all participants starting on the same footing."

"As for the so-called class advantage, it's more about testing a player's operational skills and innate abilities in real combat to make split-second judgments. Ultimately, victory or defeat still depends on the person controlling the character."

He paused briefly, then continued, "Moreover, the advantages that our District 3 possess far surpass those of other regions."

"The system rules only restrict players from registering for individual, duo, and five-player tracks repeatedly, but do not prohibit the same person from participating in guild wars simultaneously."

"In other words, even if Chongxing participates in individual duels, he can still represent the guild in the battle."

"With him around, it's almost equivalent to the combat power of a complete guild."

"In this way, we have essentially secured two victories in advance across all three lines."

Dragon Diagram Jinghe wholeheartedly agreed, nodding and adding, "Yu Tian Yutian's analysis is very insightful."

"According to the rules, each of the two teams has the right to designate a specific track."

"We will definitely designate individual battles, which is tantamount to taking the first victory."

"Next, no matter which match they choose, as long as they select a guild battle, we'll have victory in our grasp; even if they don't specify a guild battle, but instead choose a two-player or five-player battle."

"As for the third match, the subsequent matches will be randomly assigned by the system. Since two types of matches have already been eliminated, there are still two types of matches left, and we still have a 50% chance of randomly drawing a guild war match."

"For example, in the first match we designate an individual battle, in the second they designate a five-person battle, and in the third match, the system can only draw from two-person battles and guild battles."

"No matter how you calculate it, there are only four types of competitions, so the advantage always leans in our favor."

After listening to the two people's analysis, everyone present understood, and the previously tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.

It's almost a certainty that the District 3 will break into the top ten.

"Master, I'm counting on you for the individual battles."

"Also, the guild war requires us to temporarily gather the top members of each guild into the same participating guild. Can you coordinate that?" Zhang Mingzhen.

As a key figure who could influence the course of the battle, Zhang Mingzhen was naturally invited to join the group immediately.

He was also very interested in the prizes for this event.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to witness firsthand the talents and abilities of the experts from other regions.

He also knew that recently, there had been a lot of rumors circulating that other people seemed to have also gained extraordinary abilities.

Some people gained other talents by doing side quests, or even just walking around.

There are always people who can't resist showing off.

They even took screenshots.

Never assume that people are rational, especially sycophants and those peacocks who want to show off.

These screenshots show that many people already possess considerable talent.

Although they are far from being as good as him, they should not be underestimated.

This competition is essentially a contest of talent and skill, with everyone starting at the same level and equipped at level 40.

Of course, he had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even within the framework of level 40, he did not believe that anyone could last a single round against him.

"I have no problem."

"You just need to decide which guild will represent you in the battle," he replied succinctly.

These words immediately enlivened the atmosphere that had just eased.

Now that it's confirmed that "Chongxing" will join the guild war, it means victory is already in hand.

At that time, this glory will not only belong to the entire District 3, but the guild that represents them in the battle will also become famous.

No guild would want to miss such a great opportunity.

"Our Dragon Diagram Guild is the first guild in the entire region to be promoted to level three, and it is only right that we represent them in this battle," Dragon Diagram Frenzy declared first.

"Dream on! Aren't we a level 3 guild too? They just leveled up a few days earlier than us, what's there to be proud of?"

"When it comes to fighting style and member enthusiasm, our 'Hero Alliance' is the most suitable, and our guild name is certainly catchy enough!"

"What's so great about the War Alliance? Isn't our name 'Contending for Contending for the World' powerful enough?"

"Your guild hasn't even reached level three, what right do you have to compete here? I propose we decide by drawing lots from the existing level three guilds; that's the fairest way."

"Fairness means that all guilds should have a chance to participate. How can it be fair if only a few level three guilds draw lots on their own!"

"That's right!"

Seeing that everyone was arguing about the qualifications of the participating guilds again, Qin Xiao Youhui having to step in and take charge of the situation.

Only their Dragon Han Legion Guild, because it has branches in all major regions, is not suitable to represent any region in this battle due to considerations of avoiding suspicion and management.

At this point, it is most appropriate for him, as a relatively neutral person, to mediate.

"Everyone, please be quiet." He raised his voice, "It doesn't matter which guild ultimately represents us; it won't affect our victory."

"Because all the high-combat-power players selected will need to join the participating guild as temporary members to compete together."

Therefore, the guild itself is more of a nominal entity.

"I suggest that, following the current guild rankings, we start with the top-ranked guild and have them take turns representing the participating guilds."

"We can't predict how many guild wars will be held next. Taking turns in order is a relatively fair solution for everyone. What do you all think?"

The suggestion was reasonable, and although everyone was unwilling, they could not find a reason to refute it, and the argument gradually subsided.

Next, each guild recommends its qualified members as candidates. These members undergo unified training, and after several rounds of selection, they are finally formed into well-configured teams for targeted training.

Of course, players who are extremely confident in their skills can also choose to register for the individual battle.

From then on, the entire God's Domain realm was immersed in a frenzy of preparation for war.

Players could be seen everywhere honing their skills and discussing tactics, with discussions about the best team compositions and preparation strategies for each server area becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

"Our District 1 has achieved unprecedented unity this time. Guilds that used to fight to the death are now meeting every few days to discuss things, acting as if they come from the same clan—this is a truly rare sight."

"There's no way around it, the rewards for this event are too tempting, and the punishments are too terrifying."

"Who wants to see their region fail, then a natural disaster strike, or be chosen as the 'Fortune' and cursed with all attributes weakened? Even if there's a blood feud, it has to be put aside for now."

Even businessmen, casual gamers, and those who don't usually like fighting have been busy preparing for the battle these past few days.

Once selected for the regional representative list, you'll instantly rise to the top—personalized tactical guidance, Resource Tilt to upgrade your equipment, and a professional team to tailor-make talent utilization analysis for you... the entire package is nothing short of luxurious.

"I thought only our war zone was fighting this hard, but it turns out it's the same everywhere."

"The competition is so fierce that I'm starting to worry about the future of our war zone."

"For Ordinary Player like me, all I can do is silently pray that I don't run into the third war zone during matchmaking... Which war zone dares to provoke them easily these days?"

"That 'Chongxing' from the Third War Zone is indeed famous, but given the balance of levels and attributes, I'd like to test my skills against him personally. I just don't know how his talent compares to mine."

The speaker was "Godfall," the top player on the combat power ranking in the first war zone. He was a core expert of the number one guild, "Penglai Island," and a well-known battle maniac.

It can be said that the current chaotic situation of guild wars in the First War Zone owes much to his "contribution" from his challenges everywhere.

As a veteran player, he possesses the A-rank talent "Absolution":

"It can randomly reset skill cooldowns and eliminate resource consumption, which, combined with the Swordsman class's rapid-fire attacks, often results in tons of damage being dealt in an instant."

Especially when dealing with healers, he has a ruthless combo – through continuous control, he prevents the Priest from casting healing spells. Once they lose their ability to sustain themselves, even the strongest support is like a fish on a chopping board.

Priest from rival guilds often felt intimidated by him before even engaging in battle, and privately nicknamed him "The Priest Terminator."

"Boss, please don't be impulsive. Let's pray we don't get matched with the third war zone."

"Even if we do encounter each other, we'll try to avoid a direct one-on-one fight with Chongxing."

"At worst, we can give up on one-on-one and focus on two-on-two and five-on-five—if the matchmaking is good, we might still have a chance of winning."

"You are a key player in our war zone; we can't act impulsively at a time like this."

Facing his guild's "God of War," Guild Leader "Pengpeng's Hair" felt his temples throbbing.

If this guy really acts recklessly and affects the collective interests of tens of thousands of players in this region, he will probably become the public enemy of the entire region in no time.

"Understood. I'll follow instructions if we encounter this."

"I really want to test the skills of this 'number one player in the game'... Unfortunately, I don't have anyone in the District 3, so I can't find out his background myself."
