Chapter 101: Battle of the Sacrifice

Yangcheng, Fuyun Community.

As a landlord, Uncle Hao has a very regular lifestyle, wearing flip-flops and carrying a bunch of keys with him.

Morning tea, nap, eat, play games, eat, sleep...

Uncle Hao’s real name is Chen Hao.

Even though everyone calls him uncle, he just looks anxious, which is what we call old. He is only 28 years old this year.

After graduation, he took over the rent collection business from his parents. He was also warned not to start a business, as he would be cut off from all ties if he did. So, Chen Hao learned how to give up.

My family is in such a limited condition, and I cannot squander it by starting a business. What else can I do except live a life of idleness and wait for death?

He likes playing games.

In my early years, I played a martial arts MMORPG game. I spent millions of dollars on it, set up a guild of thousands of people, and spent the whole day fighting and killing in the game.

Later, he got tired of the game, and the planner was not a good person. He drove away all the free players and small-paying players. He had a set of magical equipment but no one wanted to kill him, so he naturally quit.

On the recommendation of a friend who also collected rent, he started playing the unique "fighting" game "Star Emperor".

Ouch, this is cool!

When he first entered the game, he was fascinated by the game's gorgeous special effects and shocking fighting scenes.

At that time, he was still using 1080Ti...

After playing for two days, I decisively upgraded to 4090 and began to dominate the road to becoming an immortal, becoming a respected "Immortal Emperor".

"The game has become free?"

"Very good!"

After learning that "Star Emperor" had become a free game, Chen Hao didn't feel bad about the 50 yuan at all, nor did he take the compensation reward to heart.

Free is good, free will attract more players, the road to becoming an immortal will be more lively, and it will also be able to blow up more people's graphics cards.

This game is really good! In other games, you can spend millions of dollars to build a set of magic clothes, but at most you can kill people in the game for fun, and you can't cause substantial damage to others across the network.

"Star Emperor" is different.

24G video memory is awesome, it can make you walk sideways on the road to becoming an immortal, so what if there is a network cable between you? If I say you can't do it, then you really can't do it! If you don't agree, come to the road to becoming an immortal to battle? This is called krypton gold!

No matter how powerful you are in other games, you are fake. No matter how weak you are in Star Emperor, you are real...

Chen Hao only spent tens of thousands of dollars on this game, but the gaming experience he gained was far better than the garbage online games he had played in the past when he recharged millions of dollars.

Ever since he played "Star Emperor" and beat his opponent on the road to becoming an immortal, causing him to be disconnected on the spot, he has never played any other games.

certainly!

As a loyal fan of "Star Emperor", he also wants to support this game.

But this game company is too stupid. They can't even make money. They're so slow to release skins. He recharged 20,000 yuan of Originium in the first half of the year, and it's already August and he still hasn't spent it all...

Hey, I’m so angry!

Sometimes Chen Hao couldn't help but want to scold him, "Brother Ba, do you know how to make games? He only releases a new skin every month. He might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill himself."

"Huh? The battle of the sacrificial way?"

Chen Hao, who had just finished complaining about the stupid Ba Ge, suddenly saw a game announcement. "Star Emperor" sincerely invites all the immortal kings and emperors to participate in the battle of sacrifice to be held this month.

Early online competition selection.

After the top three players from each region are selected, they will be directly invited to the offline competition and go to Jiangning Stadium to face the weird source Brother Ba and compete for the title of the strongest immortal emperor! There is a line of words in the announcement, specially marked in red, bold and enlarged: This battle of sacrifice can be used both online and offline. Players need to be mentally prepared before signing up for the competition.

Tianba Studio is not responsible for any property losses caused by participating in the competition!

After reading the announcement, Chen Hao's blood suddenly boiled over, and he felt as if this battle of sacrifice was specially set up for him.

"Star Emperor" has held two competitions before, but they were all online competitions, and they adopted a ranking mode, banning extreme sublimation.

This made him feel helpless.

Although Uncle Hao's skills are decent, they are definitely not comparable to those talented young people, and his ranking is not very high.

This time, the "Battle of Sacrifice" has opened up the ultimate sublimation, which is definitely great news for him.

The ban has been lifted to the extreme, who is afraid of whom?

Without any hesitation, Chen Hao immediately clicked to sign up for the competition after reading the event announcement.

What is the way of sacrifice?

According to the official statement of Tianba Studio, that is the realm above the Immortal Emperor, and he sacrificed his own Tao. Because the concept of "Tao" is too general, let's use a graphics card instead.

If you don’t even have the courage and determination to sacrifice your graphics card, how can you break through the Immortal Emperor and reach the Dao Sacrifice realm?

This is also what Brother Ba meant.

When answering questions from community players about the "Battle of the Sacrifice", Brother Ba said that at first he just wanted to lift the ban on offline competitions and reach his highest level.

After all, the offline competition equipment is provided by the official, and the general performance is fine, and it can withstand full firepower under the extreme sublimation.

But after being deceived by Nvidia and AMD staff, Brother Ba changed his mind!

"Brother Ba, isn't this inappropriate?"

"This competition is called the Battle of Sacrifice. If all the contestants are cowards and there isn't even one Immortal Emperor on the road to becoming an Immortal, how can it be called the Battle of Sacrifice?"

The staff of AMD and Nvidia successfully fooled Chen Ba, so he decided to open the Extreme Sublimation in the online competition stage as well.

You don't even dare to sacrifice your own Dao? Then you'd better be a spectator and not participate in the battle of sacrificing Dao!

“Okay, okay!”

"Brother Ba, don't worry, we will take care of all the sponsorship for the competition..."

I have to say that N card and A card are really powerful. In order to obtain the exclusive sponsorship of this "Battle of Sacrifice", they almost used all their brains.

In the end, it was Brother Ba who mediated and set up a dual exclusive sponsorship mechanism, which appeased the two sponsors who were at loggerheads with each other.

However, even so, A-card and N-card were secretly making small moves for the championship of the Jidao Battle.

Chen Ba was aware of this.

Not only Brother Ba, almost all the players who signed up for this year's "Battle of Sacrifice" know that N cards and A cards are almost head-to-head.

In this year's Jidao Battle, all registered players will add an NVIDIA or AMD logo in front of their nicknames to indicate which camp they belong to.

"This must be Brother Ba's bad idea. He is the best at fanning the flames..."

Looking at the green NVIDIA logo in front of his nickname, Chen Hao was speechless.

Brother Ba is a real villain!

Everyone hopes that the sponsors can get along well with each other, but Brother Ba is different. He hopes that the sponsors of his own competition will fight each other, and the more intense the fight, the better.

Is this something a human could do? "Let the game begin!"

As the countdown ended, Chen Hao looked at the opposite side, who was also a player from the N card camp. He was not on the list of Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

It doesn’t matter!

As long as he is not an Immortal Emperor or a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he is invincible in the online competition stage and no one can defeat him.

Oh no…

Some immortal kings who have surpassed the heavens are also able to cross borders and kill immortal emperors. You still have to be careful about this to avoid a disaster.

"As a fellow N card member, I don't want to hurt you!"

"Hello, Boss. Goodbye, Boss!"

The other party was also a sensible young man. After seeing the title "Immortal Emperor" under Chen Hao's nickname, he decisively chose to end his life.

"Why bother?"

After easily defeating his opponent, Chen Hao sighed and said, "Is the Battle of Sacrifice a competition you can participate in? Where do you get the courage to sign up?"

Some people have no self-awareness at all.

Probably attracted by the rewards of the "Battle of Jidao", he ignored Brother Ba's warning and wanted to compete for the title of Jidao with 1060.

Young man, are you still asleep?

There are so many Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings, but there are only three direct invitation spots for the offline competition.

Even Chen Hao couldn't guarantee that he would eventually get a spot, so how could these emperors and supreme beings who were still in the human realm dare to sign up?

The online trials for the Sacrifice Battle lasted a total of one week.

Finally, 24 contestants were selected and invited to Jiangning to participate in the offline finals of "Battle of Sacrifice" held in September.

Interestingly, among the 24 invited players, only 7 are from the A-card camp, and the rest are all N-cards.

What’s even more interesting is that after the direct invitation list was released, these players contacted Tianba Studio one after another, asking if they could change their names? Can they choose a specific graphics card for offline competitions?

"Change your name?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Yang Dong didn't understand why so many people wanted to change the name at first. After asking, he found out that they were paid bribes to fight for the graphics card manufacturers! "Change it, change it."

Chen Ba was eager to watch the fun and said, "Let them change it to Da Renshuo, Sad Rainbow, Shrinking Star... I want to see who will be the champion in the end."

This competition was so exciting.

Each graphics card manufacturer sent one or more Immortal Emperors to fight in Jiangning Stadium to compete for the title of the strongest Immortal Emperor.

"No, there is an Immortal King."

Xiao Lu corrected Brother Ba’s mistake and said, “Among the 24 contestants, there is one who is not an Immortal Emperor on the road to becoming an Immortal, but only an Immortal King.”

"He is also very strong and has received sponsorship from Darenshuo. He will use the 4090 N card in this competition and is a hot candidate for the championship."

"How did the Immortal King get in?"

Chen Ba was a little surprised. With so many Immortal Emperors competing, it was difficult for even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor to get a spot. How did an Immortal King get a spot? Was he really a genius? Forget it, Immortal King or Immortal Emperor, as long as he got a spot in the offline competition, even if he was an Immortal King, he would be the strongest Immortal King in history.

“Is the venue ready?”

Not wanting to think about this question, Chen Ba pressed on, "Have all the contestants from each division and the media arrived? How are the ticket sales going?"

"The venue has been set up, and the players and media are almost all here. Tickets are hard to sell, but we gave some away in the end..."

"That's fine."

Chen Ba said he could understand the practice of giving away only a portion of the tickets because they were not sold out.

After all, this is the first time to hold such an offline competition. In addition, Jiangning is not a first-tier city and the venue is so large, so it is normal that all the tickets cannot be sold out.

The concert tickets for famous singers are not sold out, let alone tickets for "Battle of the Sacrifice"?

…

Jiangning, Municipal Gymnasium.

This is Chen Hao’s first time to visit the city of Jiangning. He had only heard of it before but had never been there.

Hanging the player ID card prepared by Tianba Studio around his neck, Chen Hao walked into the preparation area of ​​the gymnasium.

Until now, he still found it hard to believe that he had actually fought his way through the siege and got one of the three direct invitation spots for the national server.

This is incredible! All I can say is that he is indeed more skilled than the average Immortal Emperor, has played longer than other Immortal Emperors, and has more experience.

The good thing about the landlord is that he has plenty of free time, enough for him to immerse himself in games and play as long as he wants...

Other Immortal Emperors don't have as much time as he does to play games. Given their lack of experience, it is normal for one of their spots to be snatched away by him.

However, although he made it to the offline competition, Chen Hao had an idea in his mind after taking a look at the other players around him with different hair colors and nationalities.

He can't win the championship.

There is always someone better than the best. There are so many people who are better than him. Take the national server for example, he can't beat the champion and runner-up of the online competition.

It’s also good to be eliminated in the first round. If you lose, you won’t lose anything, and if you win, you will make a lot of money.

It's a pity that Xishanghong chose to sponsor him when there are so many other options. Does he have the face of a champion? "AMD, Yes!"

"NVIDIA, NVIDIA..."

"Beat Renshuo never gives up!"

There were a lot of spectators at the venue today. I don’t know if they were hired by Brother Ba or by the graphics card vendors, but they were shouting louder than the other.

Shaking his head and trying his best to avoid being disturbed by the outside world, Chen Hao opened a training ground to do some warm-up exercises.

The game is about to start!

The 24 players will be shuffled and divided into four groups for a Bo3 match. The group winners will advance to the semi-finals, and then the Bo5 semi-finals and finals will begin.

Chen Hao was unlucky and was placed in a hellish group, where he was unfortunately eliminated in the first round.

But the other two players from the national server took first place in Group A and Group C respectively, occupying two spots in the semi-finals.

The other two spots in the semi-finals come from the US server and the European server respectively.

Da Renshuo vs. Shrinking Star, Stacking Tai vs. Sapphire! The semi-finals were all grudge games. Unfortunately, N cards occupied three quarters, and only Sapphire remained on the field among A cards.

In the end, the Immortal King sponsored by Da Renshuo won easily.

On the other side, the battle between Duiliatai and Sapphire lasted for a long time, and finally Sapphire RX7900 Super Platinum came back from 2-0 down to win 3:2.

The finalists of this year's "Battle of the Sacrifice" are the Darenshuo 4090 Raptor VS the Sapphire RX7900 Super Platinum.

The fateful showdown between N card and A card!

Almost all the audience were excited, shouting the slogan "AMD YES" loudly. It was obvious that everyone wanted to see AMD win the championship by defeating a group of N cards.

But Chen Ba saw it very clearly.

The player sponsored by Ren Shuo, who was the Immortal King who infiltrated the group of Immortal Emperors, was so powerful.

The skills are totally on a different level. The players on the Sapphire side have already tried their best to reach the finals. How could they be a match for this "Heaven-defying Immortal King"?

The result was as expected.

The Raptor easily crushed Renshuo 4090 3:0 to win the championship. The final was not as exciting as the semi-finals, and A-card lost miserably.

"Beating Renshuo is cheating..."

After presenting the awards to the contestants, Chen Ba returned to his seat and complained: "I asked, guess how the champion came about?"

"how come?"

Xiao Lu, Yang Dong and others were very curious, mainly because this Immortal King was too mysterious.

"He is a well-known ranked player, but his graphics card is generally not enough to play the immortal road, and he usually only plays ranked."

"One day, he suddenly received a package containing a 4090 Raptor. That's basically what happened..."

No wonder the operation is so good! This operation of beating Renshuo can already be called cheating and hiring a power leveler.

When everyone was shouting slogans, someone actually targeted the person with the best performance, and sent him a 4090, allowing him to become an Immortal King in just a few days.

In other words.

The Immortal King is a true Immortal King, but this Immortal King is only an Immortal Emperor because the time for upgrading his graphics card is too short.

It was unethical to fight against Ren Shuo, and it was reasonable for him to bribe one of the best players in the ranking in advance and win the championship of this "Battle of Sacrifice".

After all, with his ultimate operation and ultimate graphics card, if he doesn’t win the championship, who else can?

Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards
