Strategy for that NPC16
's first multiplayer sword-fighting competition has officially entered the spring season.
Because this was the first time this kind of competition was held, the strength of the early contestants was uneven. Some were ridiculously strong, such as the professional player team led by Bai Luqiu, and some were ridiculously weak, a group of tourist players. They played 20 games in the 12-win promotion system in the auditions, and they had to queue for 10 games just to see if they could match some star players.
Ning Xiu and his team played very smoothly in the early stages. It can be said that they did not encounter any tough opponents. The first round of auditions lasted for five days. Ning Xiu and his team made a high-intensity sprint on the first day, played 12 games, won 12 games, and won the ticket to the next round of competition.
In the second week, the teammates they met were much more normal, at least they played serious games against each other, and there were only two or three abstract players in ten games.
Gradually, the opponents they encountered began to become stronger. They lost two games later, but those losses were not unfair. The opponents were also a professional team. Unlike Bai Luqiu and his team, they were not professional teams from other games. Instead, they were professional players who focused on sword fighting since the launch of . Several of them had won the top ten in single-player sword fighting competitions.
After the third week of competition, the school will be on vacation. The subsequent major competitions will not start until after the Spring Festival, which also gives the players in the top 500 on each server time to adjust their status.
During this period, it happened to be the Spring Festival, so Ning Xiu had to go home, and Du Wen felt the same way... But fortunately, both parties were locals in City Z, so they could hang out when they were free and then go back home in the evening.
During the Spring Festival, many relatives came to visit the Ning family. The Ning family is relatively wealthy. It can be said that Ning's father worked hard and built the family from scratch. During the New Year, there are a lot of relatives in his family, and ordinary families all want to come and share in the benefits.
Ning Xiu had been running away early in the morning for three days in a row. When the relatives came, they didn't see Ning Xiu. Every time a group of people came, they asked why Ning Xiu was not there. Mrs. Ning wanted to find an excuse but couldn't find one. In the end, she could only tell the truth and say that he had gone out to meet his girlfriend.
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, the relatives became excited and insisted that Ning Xiu bring his partner back to show them.
Madam Ning was also having a headache, and this brat really needed to be dealt with. How many days had it been? He hadn't been seen for a whole day...
When Ning Xiu received the call, he was outside doing handicrafts with Du Wenting. When he heard his mother's voice, he felt a little guilty.
"Mother……"
Mrs. Ning said bluntly, "Give the phone to Xiao Du."
"oh."
Ning Xiu obediently held up the phone for Du Wen to listen to.
When Du Wen heard this, he guessed most of what had happened.
After listening to what Madam Ning said, it was indeed similar to what he had imagined. Du Wen looked down at Ning Xiu, who was still playing in the mud, and felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart...
He had to go to Ning Xiu's house to meet his elders and relatives. In this way, the relationship between him and Ning Xiu would be a done deal.
"Hold on." Du Wen called him.
Ning Xiu raised his head and looked at him obediently.
"We'll be together forever, are you willing?"
Du Wen's heart tightened when he heard this... Ning Xiu's expression was obviously surprised, and Du Wen thought that he was surprised because he had never thought of this possibility.
Ning Xiu then pulled out a clay ring from behind his back, "Did you peek at me pinching the ring?"
The ring was ugly, but Du Wen's eyes were filled with tears when he heard it.
He ignored the crowds in the mall and squatted down to look Ning Xiu, who was sitting on the pony stool, in the same eye. He hugged her like two little friends, then kissed her on the nose affectionately, "I have a ring for you too."
Ning Xiu's face was immediately filled with anticipation.
Later, the two of them went to Ning's house to meet Ning Xiu's relatives. When they saw Ning Xiu bringing back a grown man, they were just surprised for a moment, and then expressed their blessings to the two of them.
Especially after learning about Du Wenting's family background, the relatives' blessings became more sincere.
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, the relationship between the two was clear in the Ning Xiu family's eyes. The next step was to discuss when the parents of the two families would officially meet.
Everything went smoothly, and every time the two looked at each other, there was satisfaction and happiness in their eyes.
At night, Du Wen heard that Ning Xiu was given a ring in the game.
In the game, a ring is an equipment that can increase certain character attributes.
After Ning Xiu got the ring, he was stunned for a moment, then became happy.
"Did you make this yourself?" Players who have learned life skills can create equipment. The equipment made by players will have the name of the maker written at the bottom of the skill description page.
Du Wen heard, "Well, does Xiu Xiu like it?"
Ning Xiu nodded and equipped the ring.
Not only does the ring have incredible properties and can be called a top-quality product, it also has a very beautiful appearance. It looks like a branch wrapped around a gem, which gives it an extremely gorgeous feeling.
"I'm glad you like it." Du Wen pulled his hand over, and the next second, Ning Xiu noticed that there was an angular object in the palm of his hand.
He turned his palm over and saw clearly what Du Wenting had stuffed into his hand - a jewelry box.
Ning Xiu widened his eyes.
The shape of this box looks like it is for rings.
"Yes, yes..." Ning Xiu stuttered.
Du Wen smiled and asked, "Open it and take a look?"
Ning Xiu opened the box, and inside was a ring that looked exactly like the one in the game!
Although I guessed it was a ring, I still didn’t expect it to be the one in the game!
"It was custom-made a month ago. The craftsmanship is quite complicated, so it took some time... Xiu Xiu, can we exchange rings?" Du Wenting held Ning Xiu's hand and coaxed her gently.
Ning Xiu wanted to laugh, but then tried to hold it back, and finally ended up with an expression that looked like he was neither laughing nor not laughing.
"...Why didn't you tell me earlier! The mud ring is so sloppy, how can we exchange it?" Ning Xiu snorted, but his eyes were shining as he looked at Du Wen.
The emotions of anticipation and willingness were all written on his face.
Du Wen really liked the way Ning Xiu smiled when he was happy...
A few days later, Du Wenting brought Ning Xiu back to his home.
The Du family's family background is much more exaggerated. It is said that Mr. Du is an outstanding entrepreneur in City Z, and the Du family has been doing business for several generations. The wealth accumulated by several generations makes them truly a prominent family.
But Ning Xiu has been surrounded by good people since he was a child, and he has always been well protected, so he doesn't think he has any ideas that are worthy of Du Wen hearing.
He maintained the same attitude and went to the Du family without any hesitation. As soon as he entered the door, he said hi to Mr. Du, who had a stern face.
Du Wen pursed his lips and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
Mr. Du, “…”
Du Fengcheng was also a little bit embarrassed to keep his sullen face. He coughed twice and said helplessly, "Come in and sit down."
Ning Xiu smiled sweetly and said happily, "Uncle, you are so handsome! You are even more handsome than Brother Du!"
Mr. Du, “…Thank you.”
Okay, I can’t keep this face anymore.
In fact, Du Fengcheng didn't want to make things difficult for Ning Xiu, but he always had a sour face, especially when facing his rebellious son, his expression was completely out of control.
Because Ning Xiu came in with Du Wenting, he appeared at the door with a gloomy face.
It turns out that the rebellious boy's girlfriend is so good at speaking, and she speaks so naturally and unpretentiously, it's really hard not to like her.
Mrs. Du brought out a plate of fruit. Seeing her husband's expression, she couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Ning, right? Come and have some fruit."
She and her son had the same aesthetic taste. When Du Wen heard that he was going to bring the person back, she pestered her son to look at the photo. Ning Xiu's appearance won her heart. When Du Wen heard that he had brought back such a little beauty, she was so happy that she couldn't describe it.
As for the issue of continuing the family line, the Du family didn't worry about it. Du Wen heard that there was an older brother. This year, his son was already five years old, an age that even dogs disliked.
Ning Xiu came in, took the fruit plate from Mrs. Du's hand, and praised Mrs. Du indiscriminately, which made her very happy. She wanted to keep him and not let him go back.
Du Wen listened and thought, as expected, anyone who has come into contact with Xiu Xiu will truly like him.
The two families met after the New Year. After confirming the relationship between the two children, they began to discuss engagement and marriage.
Du Wenting continued playing games with Ning Xiu, and occasionally talked to him about the new game he made.
"The production of the new game has reached the later stages. After the competition is over, I will devote myself to that game. I will be very busy then. Don't blame me, Xiu Xiu." This was what he had planned, and he had already gone 80% of the way on this road. There was really not much time to waste.
Ning Xiu admired him and said, "Brother, you're awesome! Once your game is released, I'll only play the games you make!"
"I want to play my brother's game for the rest of my life!"
"Okay! Then I'll spend my whole life developing new games for Xiu Xiu!"
The two are clingy and childish, but they feel incredibly sweet towards each other.
Things have been going so smoothly lately that Du Wen feels that this is probably the ultimate happiness that humans pursue.
The good luck of the two continued - in the competition, whether they were playing solo, duo or five-person, they were making great progress, making people feel that they could always win a place in one of the fields.
Soon, the day for the top ten competition in the server arrived. After passing this hurdle, it was time for the offline competition.
The 16-to-10 competition seems to have a lot of places, but it is actually very cruel. After all, there are five people in a team, and those who can reach this stage are the top players in the server.
In this competition, Ning Xiu's team narrowly escaped defeat by just barely scraping by.
The reason was that a friend of Bai Luqiu made frequent mistakes during the game. He played the role of the pianist, assisting his teammates, so the pressure should not be that great. But for some reason today, he even made mistakes when helping his teammates remove debuffs.
Ning Xiu was almost killed by him once!
After playing together for so long, Ning Xiu was quite familiar with them. He became a bit outspoken after getting to know them, and he would speak frankly when others made mistakes. "Qinshi, what are you doing? I helped you take the debuff so that you could save me, and you ran away! If you ran away, wouldn't that be selling me out?"
The musician said, "I didn't sell you out. I, my skills were beyond my reach. Wasn't I heading towards you at that time?"
Ning Xiu cursed with a smile, "Go to hell with you! If my brother hadn't rushed to kill someone and saved my life, we would have been defeated in this game."
After saying that, Ning Xiu felt a little proud again, "You are my brother after all, brother, you are really awesome!"
There was silence on the other side.
This game was indeed turned around by Du Wen's hearing ability. At that time, the opponent's main force was entangled with him, and there were only two or three people left on each side.
5v5 fighting is all about attrition. Whichever side suffers the most attrition will have its formation easily disintegrated.
At that time, Du Wenting fought back with only a sliver of health left, and rushed to help the slowed Ning Xiu to kill his opponent instantly. If Ning Xiu was killed by his opponent, Du Wenting's sliver of health would not have been able to hold on for too long, and the musician would have posed even less of a threat. It can be said that he won with great difficulty.
Ning Xiu was just giving normal comments and praising his brother, but he didn't expect that just these two sentences would make his teammates feel uncomfortable.
