Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1175 The long route, the 'wonderful' rule

Fang Yun naturally saw the players' worries, but he was really not panicking in his heart.

Before the final was approaching, he ignored all kinds of speculation about the content of the final on World Channel, and left the study with a cup in his hand.

First, he went to the water dispenser to refill himself a cup of hot tea. He took the tea cup to the balcony and looked at the heavy snow outside the window, which relieved his tense mood for a long time.

It's a pity that he couldn't enjoy this comfort for too long.

After resting on the balcony for a while, he quickly returned to his study, put on his headphones and began to arrange for the upcoming marathon final.

Time was slowly passing by Fang Yun's constant arrangements and the expectations of countless players.

As 20 minutes passed, just before four o'clock in the afternoon, Qiancheng finally spoke to the world again.

"Good afternoon, everyone!"

First he said hello, and while the players in the area responded excitedly, he continued: "As everyone expected, we are about to start the finals of the first fantasy marathon. The rules of the final, I will explain in detail next."

"It's coming! #clap"

"Damn it, it's just a small running game, why do I feel more excited than watching the Martial God Altar?"

"Nonsense! There are so many Martial Arts Altars every month, how have you ever seen this kind of marathon with full server participation?"

"It's a pity that I didn't make it into the top [-], otherwise there would be a fight between the five and the three!"

"Do you think the rules of the final will change? After all, if you want to avoid cheating, changing the competition system is definitely the best choice."

"Just half an hour later, where did you ask Brother Cheng to find a new competition system for you? Let's make do with it!"

With Qiancheng announcing the rules for the finals of this Dream Marathon, many players cheered up immediately, but some players were a little worried, fearing that he would continue to use the preliminary competition system, which would lead to cheating.

Fang Yun was very clear about the players' expectations and concerns, so after the warm-up, he said directly: "For the rules of the finals, in order to avoid cheating, we have made some small-scale adjustments."

"First of all, this finals no longer requires players to perform frequent check-in operations. Players only need to complete the check-in tasks in specific links."

"Secondly, the content of this final is divided into two parts. The first part is the competition, and the second part I call it the 'challenge'!"

With the announcement of the final competition system, all the players, including the contestants, who were looking forward to this moment were stunned.

"No... What's the deal with canceling the check-in? Doesn't this mean that you can cheat at will?"

"I was thinking just now that someone will definitely take a group photo with some NPCs in advance for this finals. I never thought Brother Cheng would be lucky, so I came directly to Bobo to draw my salary..."

"I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"I said... Isn't the point that this final is actually divided into two parts?"

"I understand the race, but what is the challenge? Is it a group PK?"

"No, my mind is a little messed up, I can't keep up with Brother Cheng's train of thought..."

As Qiancheng announced that the check-in session would be cancelled, and that the content of the final would be divided into two parts, the players in Bianliang City were dumbfounded on the spot, unable to understand his brain circuit at all.

Some finalists even directly asked Fang Yun via YY private chat whether the new rules of the final would be complicated, trying to extract some useful information from him.

Fang Yun chose to turn a blind eye to these private chats, and after the World Channel stopped for a while, he spoke again.

"Please rest assured that canceling the check-in session does not mean giving up supervision. After the preliminary round, we immediately selected a total of 100 gang members from the two gangs of Jinfengxiyulou and Liufenbantang to do The supervisor is responsible for following the 100 contestants in the final one-on-one, tracking the whole process!"

"Before the start of the game, each player has to form a team by himself and add the supervisor assigned to him to the team. After the start of the game, every step of the player must strictly abide by the rules of the game. Once cheating, it will be Disqualification on the spot!"

With the issuance of this brand new and meticulous rule, those who were still questioning the fairness of the finals shut up on the spot, while the other players who already believed in Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"One-to-one supervision with the team, I would like to call this trick a lore!"

"Brother Cheng deserves to be Brother Cheng. If you don't make a move, you'll be fine. If you make a move, you will be Wang Zha."

"I laughed so hard! I guess those who go to the NPC to check in in advance will have their lungs exploded. Isn't this all a waste of work?"

"That's right! Because there were too many people in the preliminary round, we couldn't conduct a large-scale supervision, so we could only use the method of checking in and taking a group photo for the contestants to prove themselves, but in the final round, there were only 100 people. Quantity, only a quarter of it is enough to complete the overall monitoring!"

"Miao, this move is really wonderful!"

"Is there any brother who is the supervisor of this final? Chat with me privately, I want to chat with you..."

Fang Yun's method of one-on-one supervision with the help of his own team has really pissed off many people. Compared with the easy-to-cheat check-in and group photo, this method of using the helpers to monitor the whole process is undoubtedly more reasonable.

Of course, reasonableness is reasonable, but to say that this anti-cheating method is completely flawless, that’s not necessarily the case.

You must know that the rewards for the top three in this final are very generous. If a player is more flexible and uses half points or other methods to lure the supervisor, it is not impossible to bribe the supervisor.

And this is why Fang Yun chose to use players from his two gangs as supervisors.

It's hard for others to say, but Fang Yun is quite at ease about his own helpers.

The so-called prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

He can hold a massive Spring Festival Gala on the whole server today, and tomorrow he can hold activities in his two gangs that reward him, which is no less than this big gala.

Even for the sake of their own future, it is impossible for these selected gang members to help outsiders cheat.

Because once he is found out, it is still a trivial matter to be kicked out of the notorious gang. Once he is on the wanted list of the Qiancheng family, then he will never even think about being in Bianliang City for the rest of his life.

And while the Bianliang City players were admiring Yu Qiancheng's whimsical ideas, he soon spoke again.

"Also, as I said before, the content of this final is divided into two parts. I will announce the first half later, but I will not be in charge of the second half. Each contestant's supervisor will be in charge of each contestant. Please forgive me for the announcement within the team after the first half has been completed."

"???"

"What's the situation, we, the viewers who co-authored this final, can't watch the whole thing?"

"What are you afraid of, when the time comes, just find a player to follow the whole process, can you still lose it?"

"Let's not talk about the second half, I just want to know where the first half will take place, I have to take a seat in advance."

"The preliminary round is in Jianye, and the final round will most likely be Chang'an. It's not big enough for other maps."

"Hurry up, brother Cheng, if you have anything to say, finish it at once, brothers can't wait!"

Knowing that the second half of the finals had to be kept secret, some players who wanted to join in the fun were immediately unhappy.

However, Qiancheng's one-on-one supervisory operation was in front of them. Although these people were unhappy in their hearts, they did not dare to speak nonsense to avoid being slapped in the face later.

And Fang Yun didn't write any ink after seeing the players' urging, and immediately announced the rules and venue for the first half of the game.

"Now I announce that the venue for the first stage of this dream super marathon final is Chang'an City! All contestants are requested to gather at the entrance of the Chang'an Datang Official Mansion as soon as possible, and find their own supervisors to form a team!"

After officially announcing the venue and specific location of the first stage, Fang Yun ignored the world channel of Instant Fryer, quickly switched back to YY voice, and began to arrange supervisors for the 100 contestants in the final with Su Jiu and others.

After a while, as all 100 supervisors had been arranged, Fang Yun switched back to the game and saw that the gate of the Datang official mansion was already occupied by countless players who came to join in the fun. With whom.

Fortunately, they informed each player of the supervisor's ID in advance. In order to avoid mistakes, most of these players first made an appointment with their supervisor to meet in a remote place, and then returned to the starting point of the game after forming a team. Waiting for the official start of the finals.

Ten minutes later, as the last supervisor announced that he was in place, Fang Yun switched windows, looked at his trumpet hanging in one of the contestants' teams, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

That's right, as the leader and chief referee of the Golden Wind and Rain Building, he is also one of the supervisors of the marathon final.

It's not just him, but the management of Sujiu Beast and others also failed to escape this task. At this time, they all hung trumpets in the team of players, waiting for the start of the game.

After all the supervisors were in place, Fang Yun first moved the window of the supervisor number to the left of the screen, and then moved the window of Qiancheng to the right, and then announced the route of the finals.

"The first half of our marathon finals will start from the Tang Dynasty official stone bridge, and pass by the gang supervisor, Huasheng Temple, Fushoudian, Qianzhuang, Escort, Yuanyang Temple, Chang'an Arena, Yunlai Hotel, Zhangjibu Village , pawnshop, innkeeper..."

"It should be noted that when arriving at Liuxiang Pavilion, the contestants need to enter the building to take a photo with Xiao Taohong, and then continue to pass through Mingyue Bridge, Qin Mansion, Deputy General Liu, Festival Gift Messenger, Vice General Ma, Guozijian, and finally arrive at the first half of the journey. The end point is Chang'an Tiantai!"

Announcing all the routes in one breath, taking advantage of the players and contestants being in a daze, Fang Yun picked up his cup and "Gudu" "Gudu" took a big sip of tea.

And soon, as everyone gradually recovered from this long route, the entire Bianliang City exploded!

"Fuck, this route...isn't it too ruthless?!"

"I just took a look at it, and it basically circles Chang'an City completely!"

"That's right! A marathon is a marathon. How can a three-to-four-minute lap like Jianye's be considered a marathon?"

"Good news: the final is indeed in Chang'an. Bad news: the route is very cheating!"

"No, no, everyone, wait a moment, don't you find out that this route has a bug?"

Such a long and complicated route really surprised many people, including the 100 contestants. At this time, they couldn't help scrolling up the chat bar, saving the route in a hurry.

After saving the route and researching it, someone soon discovered something was wrong.

"Um...Brother Cheng, I just took a look. This route is fine. It's the Chang'an arena. Does it mean the top of the arena or the bottom of the arena?"

Putting down his cup, Fang Yun couldn't help showing a smirk on his face as he looked at a question sent by a contestant's private chat.

Putting his hands on the keyboard, he saw that he was crackling, and quickly entered a line of text.

[World] Qiancheng: "Someone asked me just now, whether to go from the top or the bottom of the Chang'an Arena on this route. Let me explain here that you must go from the top, and those who go below will be disqualified!"

"I rub?! #stare"

"No... This is a marathon where every second counts, and the contestants are allowed to walk off the ring?!"

"Extraordinary! Brother Cheng is starting to be misbehaving again!"

"Don't say anything, I'm going to squat in the ring now! Is there any group?"

"I'll go too! Since you didn't make it to the finals, at least you have to make some trouble!"

"It's really too bad! It's because I'm afraid that some players will run too fast and deliberately create obstacles."

"I like this! This is what a marathon should be like. What's the point of running stupidly? It's enough to have a bit of luck!"

After this cheating rule was announced by Qiancheng, those players who failed to make it to the finals and those who were pure fun immediately became high, clamoring to go to the ring to make trouble.

But the expressions of the 100 finalists changed at this time, and they were about to spray Qiancheng into a dog in their hearts!

This Qiancheng is really unmatched in terms of improper people...

However, although this rule is cheating, none of the 100 finalists withdrew, and none even asked Fang Yun to protest.

The reason is very simple. Although the Changan Arena, the only way to the finals, is a huge uncertainty, it also creates countless possibilities.

Maybe a certain player was originally behind, but because of the existence of the Changan Arena, those players who were ahead of him may be trapped in place, and at this time he can use this to complete overtaking.

Of course, if you can overtake others, you can also overtake others, but because of this, many players find it more exciting.

Just like what the onlookers said, what's the point of running stupidly? Frequent accidents can better reflect the spirit of competition, and at the same time make this already highly anticipated marathon final even more exciting.

In this way, with the announcement of the detailed rules of the Chang'an Marathon finals, under the common expectation of all players and contestants, Fang Yun glanced at the time and found that it would be four o'clock in one minute, so he immediately posted in the chat box Enter a line of text on the screen, and when the time comes to four o'clock, press Enter and select send.

"I announce that the first half of the Chang'an Marathon Finals has officially begun!"

Following his words, the 100 contestants who had been waiting for a long time at the stone bridge in front of the Datang official's mansion suddenly became excited, and then they all ran away like wild horses that had run away!
