Glory [e-sports]-Chapter 167.1: He was cowering to the point he’d made it a characteristic.

When Wei Xiao saw this announcement, his reaction was, “F*ck, how strong!”

His eyes grew brighter.

Yan Jiang glanced over at him and said nothing.

On the other hand, Old G was really miserable. He’d originally been in the same outer zone as Close, in Falling Star Lake.

Close had opened up slaughter mode all across Falling Star Lake, but Old G hadn’t fallen behind by much. The two of them had pushed all the way to the Central Zone, one from the east, and the other from the west.

After leaving the outer zones, the players from the same zone would be squeezed into the same area. Old G had filled up the screen like crazy with his Martian text, “Where◆is Close, oO Laozi has come to kill you oo!”

After brushing out two or three lines, Gary successfully summoned the great demon king.

And then……

The great demon king happily collected First Blood.

Seriously. Gary had made great contributions to Close obtaining First Blood.

Getting First Blood in the Central Zone was different from getting it in the five outer zones. There was an element of luck in the outer zones. If a player landed in a zone like the Shining Gold Temple, they wouldn’t see another living person for half the game. Even Close would have to give up on getting First Blood.

Of course, the Shining Gold Temple was relatively safe. Each zone had its own advantages and disadvantages.

Getting First Blood in the Central Zone had little to do with luck.

Whoever made their way to the Central Zone first would have the biggest chance of obtaining First Blood.

Those who could enter the Central Zone were all experts in all aspects. They were able to run away if they couldn’t win, and also had sufficient skill and experience to kill directly when they could.

It only took two minutes for Close to kill Gary.

It wasn’t because Gary was a crappy player; it was that Gary hadn’t even thought of running and had insisted on fighting.

The big brawl mode wasn’t like the previous singles competition mode where players met in a narrow canyon and could continue fighting after dying. Here, one fight determined life or death. Losing was losing, and winning was winning. The emphasis wasn’t purely on PK.

Old G was still in a trance when he arrived at the field of death, “←￠Did I die just liek that?? ☆”

Most people couldn’t understand Chinese, but some of them could.

Money, who had ‘Close Has Great Skills’ hanging over his head, picked up the conversation, “God G?”

Gary saw his ID and first typed out a word to show respect, “F*CK!”

Money: “……”

Gary tested, “A Close fan?” (The following Martian text has been automatically translated into normal text)

Money’s lips twitched. “No.”

“Then what’s with your name?”

“……”

Money, who’d explained himself countless times since arriving in the field of death, gave up––

Yes, yes, yes, he was a Close fan, a fan who was greedy for Close’s skills, okay?!

People who had ‘died’ wouldn’t be given time on the screen. The Central Zone was currently noisy and bustling.

The ring of light had shrunk down to the central ring area, and nearly three fifths of the area had already been cut off. There was no longer any strange terrain, and the dazzling lights lit everything up. It was clearly telling the players––fight, quickly fight and beat each other up!

Wei Xiao was still praising Close. Yan Jiang typed, “Are you going to the final circle or not.”

Wei Xiao missed his captain to death. He immediately said, “Going!” He wanted to go and meet him quickly, and he’d give him a big kiss when they met. A really big one!

It was only at this time that Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang’s bet finally showed its power.

What was an alliance? Was it the several people who seemed to be working together and appeared to be more on guard against their own ‘teammates’ than their opponents?

Of course not.

A real alliance was based on cooperation!

In the big brawl, skills were blind. How could they cooperate?

Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang could.

After they entered the Central Zone, the audience who were watching the live broadcast finally understood.

“Holy shit, so that’s how it is!”

“Quiet is so badass!”

“Your God Yan is still God Yan… this skill accuracy is as high as 100%!”

“No wonder God Yan said that he’d send him six pieces of fully completed gear. This… is a piece of cake.”

In the Moonlight Wetland, Wei Xiao had enough strength to protect Yan Jiang as they charged out, but in the Central Zone, if he needed to continue protecting Yan Jiang, he might not even be able to touch the edge of the finals circle.

So, he’d proposed that as long as he could protect Yan Jiang in the outer one, then they would head to the final circle together.

Who said that four healer talents were useless?

When matched up with a DPS king who had picked out a full set of attack talents, it was absolutely the best, okay?!

The first group of people they encountered in the Central Zone… Yan Jiang raised his hand, and the holy priest was shrouded in light which turned into a door as soon as it landed, steadily trapping three layers within it.

These three players were all high level players. They were muddled as soon as they saw Yan Jiang and thought to themselves: What is God Yan trying to do? It didn’t matter how long he controlled them for, it wasn’t as though he could kill them.

And then……

A wisp of clouds floated over, and the immortal warlock’s elegant figure rushed over. Skills smashed into them endlessly, cloud marks stacking up en masse. Thousand layers of clouds dropped down from the sky and caught them unprepared.

The three of them: “F*ck!” How was that possible?!

The light door would only keep them shackled for one second, and it wasn’t a strong control skill that prevented them from moving completely.

The three players quickly hit back, wanting to kill the immortal warlock once he landed.

Unexpectedly, they’d just started moving when a light wall smashed down. The positioning was precise, as though it had been pre-positioned. The accuracy of the control skill was divine.

At this time, the three people still had the thought that it was just a lucky move. “Don’t panic, the immortal warlock is out of skills. The next thousand layers of clouds will take at least 30 seconds…”

Wei Xiao switched talents even before the effects from the thousand layers of clouds dispersed. The storm hunter’s jade pot spilled, filling the air with rain. He started stepping on raindrops with a deadly precision enough to make people feel numb.

Swish, swish, swish! Countless arrows hit the three people head on, leaving them instantly seriously injured.

What made people’s scalps go numb was that when the light wall faded away, Yan Jiang had already switched to another talent. The elemental shaman’s earth prison totem rose up from the ground.

What did it mean to be controlled until one entered seclusion?

These three were doubting life!

Wei Xiao won three kills, making his score race ahead like crazy. He crushed Xie He and returned to second place.

First place was Close, second place was I Like Close The Most.

Even the straight men in the China competition zone were excited. “After looking at it for a long time, these toxic IDs seem very attractive!”

Wei Xiao slaughtered his way through the Central Zone. Towards the end, he commented, “Captain Yan, you really leave people with a lack of game experience.”

Yan Jiang followed his brain circuits. “Is it them or you who’s lacking game experience?”

Wei Xiao: “Of course it’s me!”

Yan Jiang’s control skills were too fierce. He had amazing judgement and as much accuracy as a hack. It was likely that anyone who was controlled by him would go into seclusion.

He’d chosen four healers as his starting talents. These talents didn’t have any DPS skills, and the rules for the big brawl made it clear that all healing skills could only be used on the player themselves, while control skills could be used on their opponents.

All support talents had one or two control skills in addition to their healing skills.

A good support player not only had to heal people, but also had to control enemies.

Yan Jiang wasn’t just a good support, he was a god level support. There was nobody in the whole of Glory who didn’t respect his control abilities.

He could control anyone, and nobody could run from him. He started fights perfectly every time, giving his teammates enough fault tolerance.

Why was it said that any starter position in Y1 could be changed? It was because there was a captain who could provide such precise control. Even a chicken pecking at the keyboard could deal amazing DPS (an exaggerated metaphor).

Wei Xiao’s bet had been a great plan:

In the short term, he could coax Yan Jiang and prevent him from dying early while finding some fun for himself so that the Moonlight Wetland wasn’t so boring.

In the long term, he could kill his way through the Central Zone, seize fully completed equipment, and prepare for the final circle.

Of course, the most important thing was sending Captain Yan to his own captain so that he could vent his anger if he wanted to, or if he wasn’t angry, then at least make use of his skills.

The special skill ‘fury’ was something that lingered in Wei Xiao’s mind.

An 80% increase in damage, tsk…

Ten light arcs, understand?

The Central Zone was also divided into districts, but it wasn’t as clear as it was in the outer zones and was defined by distance.

For example, Wei Xiao’s Moonlight Wetland and Close’s Falling Star Lake were diagonally across from each other. Unless the players circled around, it would be difficult for them to encounter each other before they entered the final circle.

Wei Xiao wouldn’t intentionally circle around the map to find his captain. The Central Zone wasn’t as leisurely as the Moonlight Wetland, and the ring shrank very quickly. Players who didn’t walk in a straight line were likely to die outside the ring, negating all their efforts.

With the control god Yan Jiang there, Wei Xiao’s killing grew more and more frenzied. It was to the point where he asked, “Do you believe that I can kill the gold hunter in front of us with one hand?”

Yan Jiang: “……”

The audience who could see their chat boxes filled up the scrolling comments with: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Quiet is being inhuman!”

“Upstairs, wake up, when has Quiet ever acted human.”

“Holy shit, fellow brothers, that gold hunter is Eurostar!”

Exactly… the gold hunter who had the ID ‘Close Is Very Strong’ really was TPT’s little coward Eurostar-star.

Eurostar was really miserable. He’d shivered and trembled the whole way through the Thousand Needle Forest.

There was a Xie He and a Moonlit. Eurostar was like a chicken who was being strangled by the throat, and he didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.

He was really cowering, cowering to the limit, cowering to the point he’d made it a characteristic, and cowering to the point his fans all felt heartache and were wiping away tears for him.
