Vol 8 Chapter 1: Co-opetition mode

Stepping out of the portal, Shen Shen found himself in a small, broken village.
The village is small in size, surrounded by a wall of sharp wooden stakes, standing behind rows of soldiers wearing medieval armor, holding a spear blade and looking forward.
The sky above the head is a gray one, and the air is burning with a scorching atmosphere. It is located in a wilderness, in the distance is a mountain jungle, and occasionally you can hear some bright beasts, but you can’t tell what animal it is. sound.
Here, it is the world of Diablo.
A fantasy world full of magical power.
At this time, one adventure after another appeared in all corners of the village. They looked at the surrounding environment and their eyes were slightly alert.
The sound of the coat of arms sounds at the right time:
"Enter the Diablo 2 mission world, the current location: Rogge Camp."
"This mission is a competition and mode, no mainline mission. Adventurers attack each other to weaken 25 percent of the damage, kill other adventurers to get a random equipment."
"Task content: mission competition - in order to fight against the evil three devils, the Diablo World has released a lot of tasks for the human brave. The adventurer is free to perform any task, unlimited number, all tasks are unique, when the task is completed Other adventurers will not be able to complete and will not be rewarded."

There are five competition venues in the Diablo World. Each competition has six story missions released at the same time. The adventurer’s contribution points will be calculated during the mission execution process, but in the end only one adventurer will be the corresponding mission completion person. Reward points and quest rewards are available only for mission completion talent."

The total value of the contribution points for each task is equal to the reward points. After the task is completed, the portal will appear and can be sent directly back to the starting point.

"Only after completing all the tasks in a competition field, all the adventurers can go collectively to the next game."
"All camps are safe areas in the stadium. The security zones must not kill each other. Offenders are obliterated."

The task execution time is 30 days. After the time is over, all the adventurers will contribute the total points. Each point can be exchanged for 10 points. The mission standard is divided into 900 points. If the score is lower than 450 points, the score is below. Nine hundred points deduct half of the reward, which is higher than 1,800 points, and the higher part is doubled."

Task reminder: This dark world is a panoramic mode, and each competition field corresponds to a standard difficulty area.

"There are 52 participants in this mission."
"Five major competition venues: 1 Rogge Camp 2 Lugaoin 3 Culster Harbour 4 group of magic fortress 5 Harrogas." "Mission background introduction: After the end of the battle with the original sin, heaven and forces entered a stalemate. In order to break the balance and get the stone of the soul, the three gods of who control the power of fear, destruction and abhorry enter the human world through the rebellion of the four demon kings, bringing great suffering to mankind..."
The plot information of the Diablo World has been mastered before Shen Shen entered. This is a typical bitter show performance - in order to compete for the soul stone, the three gods of use the bait to lure the angel. As a result, the angels did not shoot themselves, but let the human world print the three devils themselves, and eventually turned this invasion into a joke. As a game, Diablo is unfolding in this context.
What is different from the past is that this time, the city has not changed the background of the Diablo World, but it has faithfully honoured the original background, and the adventurers will perform an unprecedented collective action as human warriors. Will sweep the dark world, drive the forces back and become the new savior.
The introduction of the mission background has just ended, and the voice of King Kong is heard in the team channel: "Is it you?"
"Yes, I am." Shen Qian looked around and saw that King Kong was in a corner not far from him. He stood still beside him, gentle, and he smiled. "I saw you."

"I saw you too. I said that you saw nothing?" King Kong came to Shen Yu, and Zhou Yiyu and the fat man appeared on the other side.
"Well, it's a bit interesting. If I guess it's right, we are actually players who enter the dark world in person and are playing a real simulation game." Shen Xiao laughed.
Obviously, this time they are like a samurai, a barbarian and other professional characters in the game, they will make a breakthrough in their own game history.
The only difference is that this time, the number of characters entering the game is as many as 52, and each game task has its unique nature. Once it is completed by others, it will lose its chance.
It is this small change that makes this game no longer a war for players to fight against the devil, but the adventurers are intriguing each other, intriguing, the death race of your life!
Sure enough, after listening to the task prompts, the eyes of the adventurers have become fierce. Some familiar adventurers approach each other and gradually form groups of different sizes.
The group with the largest number of ten people is obviously a team, followed by an eight-person team, followed by a broken blade team and another six-person team. The four teams took up more than half of the adventurer's strength, and the remaining 22 adventurers were mostly small combinations of threes, threes and two.
In addition, there are some people in the Rogge camp who are wearing old 16th century costumes walking around, obviously they are the plot characters in this world. Perhaps because of the city, they are not surprised by the emergence of adventurers, as if these people should have existed in this world.
"It should still be changed." Zhou Yiyu strode: "At least in the game, you must complete a task to start the next task. But when you ask the coat of arms, all the tasks in each competition are open at the same time. Freedom to fight. That is to say, we can now perform the task of annihilating Andalil."
Andariel, the tortured and depressed queen in the dark world camp, she is one of the four devils of the camp, and the last BOSS of the first scene of the dark world.
When I heard Zhou Yiyu say this, Hong Lang immediately exclaimed: "Then we will do Andalil now! The task reminder, each competition field corresponds to a difficulty area, that is to say, this scene of Rogge Camp should only be quite The difficulty in the slums is right, Andalil is certainly not difficult to deal with, I guess it is the level of Count Dracula."
That's right, according to the coat of arms, the mission world uses a panoramic mode, and the five scenes correspond to five difficulty zones. The meaning of this statement is obviously that the Rogge camp is difficult to compete in the slum area. It’s easy to challenge the slums with the ability of ordinary adventurers.
Even the problems that Honglang can see can be seen. Other adventurers will naturally not see it. Everyone has been talking about it at this moment and they have heatedly discussed each other.
Indulging in cold eyes and watching the whispering explorers around, suddenly usage Arabic whispered: "Andalil should not be difficult to deal with, but it is not necessarily weaker than Count Dracula."
Hong Lang is puzzled: "Why do you say this? Is it true that Andalil is stronger than Dracula? But isn't that not difficult to meet the slum?"
Shen Yan replied in a loud voice: "There are now 52 adventurers here. Even if everyone's level is only the level of the slums, it can be used to deal with Count Dracula. It is also easy to get three or five. Andalil is even a delivery. It can't be sent too cheaply."
Honglang immediately refused to be convinced: "But now is the content of the competition. It is impossible for everyone to work together to fight. I want to see that under this circumstance, Andalil should be better than Dracula, because everyone will definitely You fight for it, causing extra damage, otherwise the difficulty of mode adjustment you said is just an empty talk."
In the eyes of Shen Yan, there is a strange color: "The problem is here, this is the content of the competition, but the mode of our mission is the competition mode. Do you know what is competition?"
Everyone looks at each other and said softly: "The so-called competition is the coexistence of competition and cooperation. The competition is the most complicated and difficult relationship in human society. It is a relationship that has risen to a political height. It seems that Sino-US relations, Sino-Japanese relations, etc., all maintain cooperation in competition. This relationship usually exists only between politicians and politicians. Of course, there will be competing relationships between some large companies. For example, when PepsiCo and Coca-Cola entered the Chinese market, they had previously agreed on the main sales area. Although the two companies competed with each other, they still maintained certain cooperation in the face of some common interests. Try to avoid the fight that will cause extra losses."
Gentle and so explained, everyone suddenly realized that King Kong Gao called: "I understand..."
After he didn't finish his speech, Shen Yu had already glanced at him. King Kong just woke up and was busy using Arabic. "This task looks like a contest, but it has an important difference, that is, it is not like The last regional competition was to kill the target with the top adventurer, but to use the fixed points as the standard of obliteration. In other words, if everyone can work together, you can still make everyone not be obliterated. This competition task looks like a regional competition on the surface, but in fact it is closer to the teamwork task, so it is called the competition mode."
Zhou Yiyu also interface: "Since there is a basis for cooperation, then the strength of our mission objectives is of course considered from a holistic perspective. Andariel is one of the four devils of hell, one is the king, the other is the count, it is indeed impossible to say Dracula is weak. So although it is a slum task, it is best not to look too small."
Shen Yan continued: "Blue Yan said that a city needs a warrior rather than a businessman, and a good warrior should have the courage to face a strong enemy without shrinking, so I think this Diablo mission, It is to force us all to join together to challenge the difficult, otherwise it is meaningless and at the same time open all five difficulties, let us challenge freely."
"Mom!" Hong Lang smashed up: "That's not bad. Who knows this complicated relationship? I only know that the tasks in this area are unique. If you get someone else, you will not fight. But what about cooperation?
Shen Xiaowei smiled: "This is the problem. We are on a stage that requires a high degree of cooperation. The final development may be a priority civil war, just like..."
"It is like the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party when the Japanese invaded." Zhou Yiyu inserted a sentence.

Is it possible to talk to them? Let’s work together, don’t fight, and try to keep alive.
Luo Wei whispered.
Shen Yu shook his head: "Our team has only six people. From the surface strength, we are not the strongest. And the initiative to cooperate with this kind of thing, only the strong side is qualified to propose, the weak side is proposed and no one cares. But For the strong side, cooperation is not necessary. They can completely seize enough tasks by their own strength, instead of having to unite with the weak. Even if they want to unite, they can wait for the first advantage and then join together. But by then, everyone's strength has often been weakened. It is more difficult to challenge advanced tasks, so it is an infinite loop. This is why competition and relations will become the most complicated and difficult relationship in human society. ...... To be honest, even if I am, I can't do the best of the ready-made benefits, but I have to do an average distribution with others. Since we can't do it, how can we count on others?"
Speaking of the indulgent gaze has fallen on the team of ten people in the distance, he saw greed, ambition and strong desire for competition from the other side's eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh: "It is obviously a competing game, but in the end it has to be turned into a zero-sum game."
Cooperation by means of competition is ultimately carried out under the command of a strong core. Losing this core command, and without the maturity, stability, self-cultivation and forbearance of politicians, the so-called co-opetition relationship is nothing but a joke.
Hong Lang slammed his mouth a bit: "If this is the case, then the first competition, the latter cooperation, the kill will kill, the Rao will be spare. As long as we take the first two competitions enough tasks, then go and not go In the advanced area, it’s not that we have the final say."
Although the Broken Blade team is superficially weak, each player's mind has already set himself to be a real strong. Therefore, this strong mentality not only appears in the distant team of ten, but also appears in the Broken Blade team.
In this regard, Shen Wei smiled slightly: "This time you are right, first competition and cooperation, there is no open eyes, the killing has to kill, this task is always going to die a group of people, in order to let everyone learn Hey...it’s to see who will be bad first.

Complex things, simply do it, this time Honglang is right.
Just then, the coat of arms reminds again:
"The Rogge Camp Six Mission is released."
"One: clear evil caves and contribute 150 points. All participating adventurers will calculate the contribution and assign points according to the contribution after the mission is completed. Kill the corpse and become the task finisher, get an additional one hundred and five 10 points reward points and a little skill point reward."
"Second: Kill the blood, contribute 200 points. All the adventurers will calculate the contribution, and assign points according to the contribution after the task is completed. Kill the person to become the task completion person, get an extra 200 points reward Points and a property of all 25 mercenary rewards, mercenaries can be upgraded, this mission can be revived after the death of the world, after leaving the world, can not be resurrected after death."
"Three: Rescuing Dika Kane, contributing 300 points. All participating adventurers will calculate the contribution and assign points according to the contribution after the mission is completed. Save the Kane as the task performer and get an additional 300 points. Points and friendship with Dika Kane."
"Four: Kill the Countess and contribute four hundred points. All the adventurers will calculate the contribution and assign points according to the contribution after the mission is completed. Kill the female count to become the mission finisher~EbookFREE.me~ Get an extra 400 points and a D-level skill reel."
"Five: Kill the blacksmith and contribute 500 points. All the adventurers will calculate the contribution and assign points according to the contribution after the mission is completed. Kill the blacksmith to become the task performer, get an additional 500 points reward points and A dual D-class equipment upgraded reel that upgrades Class D equipment to dual D levels."
"Six: Kill Andalil and contribute 600 points. All the adventurers will calculate the contribution and assign points according to the contribution after the mission is completed. Kill the Andalil to become the task finisher, get an extra 600 Point reward points and a C-level equipment upgrade scroll to upgrade the dual-D equipment to the C-class."
Then there was a dark world map on the coat of arms with six red dots on it, representing six different mission completion locations.
This time, the city actually gave the map directly to everyone.
It is different from all the mission points in the game, including wasteland, cold original, buried bones, stone wilderness, dark forest, black wasteland, Tama Heights and even Tristram. The world's first scene maps have all been greatly modified, so that adventurers can't pass all the mission points on one route at the same time, and must make certain choices. To a certain extent, this has caused the internal struggle to be dispersed and confined to various routes, and it will not become a full-scale fratricidal, but also lay a foundation for cooperation for future unity.
Seeing this series of tasks, everyone laughed at the same time.
The total scores of the six missions add up to 4,300, which is divided into 52 people, and each person is less than 100 points. In this case, if everyone can still calm down and talk about cooperation, it is called a strange thing. In any case, this mission is destined to start in your fight.
