Chapter 106: School Bell
[It is detected that the number of low-level classes participating in the duel is less than or equal to the number of high-level classes participating in the duel. In order to maintain the balance of the copy, the 'alternative duel rules' are now activated]
The lawyer frowned slightly, and when he saw that Li Ziyue's expression had not changed, he felt even more depressed.
Obviously this change was within Li Ziyue's expectations.
In other words, the reason why Li Ziyue set the number of students in his class to 6 was to find this special 'game bug'.
The muscular man cursed in a low voice: "He tricked me again."
However, in reality, Li Ziyue was not as confident as the people in Class A imagined.
He is not a god and the information he can obtain is limited. It would be a lie to say that there is no gambling element at all.
He wanted to know the basic information about the dungeon duel, so he had to ask his homeroom teacher during every break.
However, just like the last time he asked the class teacher for all players' opening exam scores, the class teacher was not an NPC with the highest authority in the dungeon. Although he asked in many different ways, the information he could get was very limited.
Putting all the pieces together, I have a vague guess: school is one of the rare places that pursues fairness and justice. When you give up something on your own initiative, you will get fair compensation.
Of course, it would be too hasty to just use 6 people to gamble on changing the rules of the dungeon based on the above speculation.
Ever since entering the dungeon, Li Ziyue has always felt that some of the dungeon's settings are very strange.
This sense of wonder became even stronger when he learned that Class B did not let up in the match against Class A, but still lost very quickly.
If the copy simply wants to kill players, it can release a large number of extremely powerful monsters as soon as the copy is opened to kill all the players.
If you want players to pass the level smoothly, it is essential to establish rules between the "monsters" and the players. Only with constraints can there be breathing space, and only with balance can there be a way to survive.
As analyzed before, in order to ensure the possibility of players passing the level, the lower the level of the class, the larger the number of people, hoping that "three cobblers" can scare "Zhuge Liang" out.
However, when the power gap reaches a certain level, the number of people will become the experience pack for the opponent to upgrade. What's more, there is a [score reduction mechanism] in the duel. People with loopholes in their knowledge will only die faster when encountering hexagonal warriors.
The higher the score, the more you need to understand that quality is more important than quantity.
There is obviously a contradiction here.
If numbers can really be one of the keys to reversing the situation, why did Class B, whose overall strength is closest to Class A and whose opponents are twice that of Class A, lose so badly?
This shows that the balance-maintaining measure provided by the replica is not working. The system is not stupid and it cannot be unaware of this.
There is another side where the balance is seriously out of whack – teaching resources.
Li Ziyue was tortured by "only being able to learn English in class" the past two days. He thought he had a good tolerance for things, but he couldn't withstand the bombardment of a single subject.
He is like this, let alone the other students in the class. At this time, Class A is receiving efficient training from AI teachers. Over time, the gap in academic performance between the two sides will only get bigger.
This does not include the "tuition and miscellaneous fees" that gave all the students in Class D a headache in the early stages.
Overall, the balance of victory clearly tilts towards Class A. This copy is a death copy where the survival rate is negligible.
So, where is the narrow door that allows players to pass through?
So far, this copy can be divided into two parts - preparation for the duel and the formal duel.
In the "preparation for confrontation" stage, the copy clearly favors high-level classes, so the only place left for them to survive is most likely in the "formal confrontation" stage.
As mentioned before, numbers are not a real advantage, and the copy just happens to have a new D class with "self-defined number of players" - the direction is very clear.
[Give up the ‘advantage’ in exchange for other fairness]
This set of inferences also applies to the differences between players and spectators themselves.
The audience all come from different players' live broadcast rooms, and have a certain degree of understanding of the players' styles, judgment criteria, and logical thinking, but the players know very little about the audience. This is why Class B failed too quickly before, and why Class A had audiences who were able to restrict Zhang Xingzhi's actions.
This is another imbalance, but not irreversible.
In this case, the advantage of players over the audience is that players can better adapt to changes in the rules of the copy.
When emergencies arise, how should the armchair audience respond?
Li Ziyue was indeed gambling, but if the system did not propose to change the rules, he would also ensure that there was a possibility of winning this duel with Class A.
And the possibility of winning lies with the people in Class A.
The duel officially began, the surrounding environment changed suddenly, and before people opened their eyes, they heard noise in their ears.
"Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
"How did you do the last question assigned in last class?"
"Has the homeroom teacher arrived?"
…
He was still near the classroom, but there were suddenly countless NPCs with very similar appearances around him.
Their behavior was no different from that of ordinary students, and they didn't even react to Li Ziyue's appearance.
Li Ziyue looked around.
This teaching building area is in the shape of a rectangle. On both sides of the long sides are classrooms, 3 in each case, and on both sides of the short sides are teachers' offices, with toilets next to the offices.
The whole building has only 3 floors, and the architecture of each floor is exactly the same, with only two staircases connecting each floor.
He is located on the 2nd floor.
At the same time, the system sent a reminder in his mind.
[This duel retains the 'hide and seek' part, but restricts the 'coordinate sharing' permission, so players/spectators in the same class cannot know the location of their companions]
[The system has also changed your face and body shape, and you will look no different from the nearby NPCs]
[If you want to find someone, you can get the relevant coordinate information by doing the 'designated test paper']
[The test paper will appear in the teacher's office on a certain floor, and the system will give a prompt at that time]
The rules for this part are very simple. You just need to wait for the system notification and then go to the office to get the test paper.
However, everyone knows that the test papers are somewhere, and if you go to the office without a legitimate reason, it is easy to expose your identity in advance.
[Warm reminder: The 3x score examination room is located near the toilet on the left side of the first floor of the teaching building. Players/audiences who need it, please go there by yourself]
Li Ziyue pretended to lean on the railing to look at the scenery downstairs, but his mood became increasingly heavy.
If he was from Class A, there would definitely be one or two people left on the first floor to guard the examination room. Class A has no shortage of points, but it is different for them.
And it seems that the problem does not end there.
A passing NPC mentioned "class", but Li Ziyue checked the classroom beforehand and found no empty seats.
At the beginning of the game, each person's appearance location is random. If there happens to be someone from Class A near him... at this time, the two sides are competing for Chinese scores, and Li Ziyue will be at a great disadvantage.
How to hide yourself in this situation?
How long until class starts?
Before he even took a step, he heard several loudspeakers in the corridor blaring shrill calls -
“Ding-ling-ling——”
