Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 261 The Convening of the Professional Skills Competition

Since the phased task assigned by Ji Ming to the council is farming, the players' development focus during this period is naturally also in the non-combat logistics part.

Therefore, as a game designer, Ji Ming refers to excellent real-life cases, studies the underlying logic of events, and strives to achieve flattening, differentiation, platformization, and refinement of player development. In order to further deepen the development of Internet thinking in the Yangyue world, he convened a huge team of The R&D team has been studying this for a long time.

After continuously rejecting the construction ideas and design plans of Angel, Dryad, Silver Dragon, Snow Leopard, White Wolf and other members, he finally decided——

Why! The structure of the previous player arena was quite good, and it can be completely copied and used in the current environment.

Members of the production team who have been busy all night: What? A person or a person?

However, the previous martial arts conference was held to promote the rapid development of players in the field of combat, and it did produce many innovative tactical theories and ideas.

Then if we engage in a logistics competition now, we definitely can’t just fight and kill again, so...

"Dungeon professional skills competition?"

While the guild members were still intensively studying the next development plan, another main line mission was released.

However, since the purpose is to encourage players to develop their farming instincts and select the most powerful farming king, naturally there will not be only two competition events.

If the content of the previous version was the ecstasy of fighting players, then the release of this version is the madness of farming players.

In fact, the two-day schedule of the Skills Competition can be divided into six major categories including blacksmithing, machinery, planting, pharmacy, construction, and handicrafts, and the subdivisions are countless.

And what's even more outrageous is that the last martial arts tournament gave out only some honorary rewards. For the vast majority of players, they couldn't get them anyway, so they could just pretend they didn't exist.

... Damn, aren’t they just useless gadgets? As someone who can only wear homemade equipment, I don’t envy Brother Killer’s crown or Lancer’s purple robe at all, really!

But this time is different. The official has shown a considerable degree of bias - it actually started stuffing useful equipment into the rewards!

Such strange differential treatment has plunged players into a heated discussion, and the news on the public screen is constantly refreshing.

[That’s outrageous. Does the Holy See want to find among the players the owners of the innate ashes-removing holy body or the screw-removing spiritual root? Can every small competition have substantial rewards? 】

[It may be that the official wants to balance the gap between the farming stream and the combat stream. After all, the recruitment notices of those guilds have never been collected]

[Cao Mu Ma is too much! Brothers, I rushed to the official website with me! I request that the rewards for the top 1,000 people from the last martial arts tournament be reissued! 】

[Hey, when I graduated from high school, I worked as a helper at my uncle's construction site. I immediately signed up to lay bricks. Maybe I would be in the top three without even having to compete! 】

[Cao Mu Ma is too much! Then I also signed up to lay bricks with my own hands. When I was young, my cousin and I used urine and mud to build a castle together! 】

[Damn it, I remember you are not a female gamer? 】

[Brother, brother is a good friend, something is urgent]

[I’ll go, it’s the remnant of the boy-girl team! ! ! 】

But again, when the closed beta test of "Code Name: Yangyue" caused a big explosion on the Internet, the great Holy See was not rehabilitated. How could such a little noise shake its status in the world?

——If it doesn’t work, report it. Anyway, the Great Holy See cannot escape in Litang. If you don’t want to play, don’t play. There are many players who want to come to Yangyue World to work.

Therefore, although the players may say something unpleasant, in fact, they have already signed up for the competition that they are sure of.

There are even players who focus on participation, ready to accompany them around the clock and make waves with familiar faces.

Unfortunately, the continuous battles outside the dungeon have led to a significant increase in the number of combat players, while fewer and fewer players prefer farming.

It seems that military technology is soaring like the power of my imagination, but in fact, except for the unique talents who bring their own knowledge into the game, there is quite a lack of skilled workers.

If this comparison really continues, I am afraid that some players can win many championships and achieve Grand Slam and other achievements.

A battle ax of light that can be condensed into a blade after transferring magic power, a kite-shaped shield with a linkage mechanism inside that can be unfolded and used...

The large amount of equipment brought by many competitions is too greedy, why should they be given to so few people?

Each one looks more powerful than the other. Both star players and ordinary players have their own favorites, but there is no way to buy them instead.

So some people began to read the task introduction and competition rules over and over again, like a group of litigants trying to dig out information that would benefit themselves.

As a result, don’t tell me, don’t tell me, there are loopholes that can be exploited.

[When I think about it, it seems that this thing only says who can apply, and there is no specific requirement that applicants must be players]

[You mean...NPC! 】

The players who reacted immediately read the competition rules again and exploded instantly.

"It's true if I go!"

You have your circle of friends, and he has his social network. Players have used their own channels to contact the major tribes and request to send people.

"Then I'll contact Chief Graf immediately. These little cows and horses from the Iron Tribe...the little dwarfs must be captured today."

"Damn it, I heard that people are already queuing up in front of Chun Ai Lao Niu. Does anyone have his wife's contact information? Is there any use in trying pillow sex?"

"I've already cornered General Zi. If he doesn't accept the group employment of the Lizard Guard today, I'll bully him as a little boy!"

So just like clubs in the real world, they successfully hired a large group of foreign players to join the professional skills competition.

These NPCs will participate in battles in their name, and the results obtained must be handed over to the employer, and at the same time, more commissions will be obtained based on their value.

As a result, the list of competitions that had gradually stagnated began to skyrocket again. A large number of dwarves poured into buildings and machinery, while tauren joined the forging queue.

In addition, with a come-it-all mentality, there are also many professional lip-syncing talents from other races participating in the competition, filling many competition categories.

The original official outsourcing was outsourced by players, turning the player competition into a game between players and NPCs.

After discovering this situation, Ji Ming originally wanted to fill this loophole, but then he thought about it, why should he fill it in?

It would be a good thing if players could be encouraged to explore the innate advantages of various races in this world and let all talents be put to full use. As a result, NPC participation changed from a loophole in the rules to a part of the rules, and those players who were still waiting to watch also joined in with their own foreign aid.

Soon, the professional skills competition evolved into a huge event with over 10,000 participants, comparable to the Olympic Games from another world.

Even if the player arena is already a spectacle, it cannot support the work of so many people, so Ji Ming had to disperse many projects to other parts of the dungeon.

If the martial arts conference is a survey of the player's individual strength and tactical thinking, then the technology conference is a survey of the production potential of the entire underground world.

In the intense competition, many races that were originally thought to have no special talents gradually emerged in this competition.

For example, the Mole People actually have quite unique insights and research into the design and construction of underground parts of buildings such as foundations and basements in addition to simple mining.

They can also accurately calculate where similar structural defects are and how they will collapse, and provide targeted and precise maintenance.

Therefore, during the finals of the [Quick Construction] project, while everyone else was busy drawing lines on the ground, the Mole team completed the construction of the [Machine Gun Fire Point] in only half an hour.

Feiying put his Maxim machine gun, which was still being polished, on it and tried it out. He found that it was already a perfect defensive position and gave it full marks.

Batmen are not only good at flying, their echolocation ability can be used to measure whether the size of man-made objects meets the standards, which is convenient and fast, with minimal error.

In reality, ultrasound is also used in a variety of fields such as medical treatment, mining, agriculture and other fields. It is considered a blue ocean of development in the world of Yangyue.

Therefore, when participating in the [Parts Forging] project, the team with the Batman is often the one with the most qualified product, which can be regarded as turning on the easy mode.

Slime, the biochemical demon who is a famous doctor, also decided to immediately carry out medical research on [ultrasound examination] and must train a group of bat doctors.

As for the Cyclops, who has both a strong body and a keen sense of magic, he is a natural magic blacksmith.

They can accurately carve magical lines under the violent hammer blows, while ensuring the strength of the weapon itself and the completion of the enchantment.

Therefore, after a short period of assault training, Baptiste successfully produced an enchanted equipment when he participated in the [Weapon Forging] competition for the first time.

Although it was just an ordinary [sharpness] enchantment, it still made the dwarf Wilmer, who claimed to be a forging master, blush and almost pull out his beard in anger.

As for the tauren who are good at forging, the sheep people who are good at planting, and the lizard people who are good at crafts...

The advantages of these traditional production races have been further demonstrated in this competition, and they have repeatedly achieved excellent results.

Especially the dwarfs. Their status, which was originally just the target of exploitation, has risen sharply. They have become the guests of various major tribes thanks to their dwarf military industry.

After all, who can resist a magical modern army that is fully armored and can attack in coordination with guns and artillery?

But in the midst of such a lively event, there was one skill that looked quite ugly - [Pharmacion]

On the one hand, it is because it only opened a competition called [Cure Potion Brewing]. As a large category, it is indeed a bit awkward, and it does not matter to the audience at a glance.

On the other hand, even the official generously released the complete formula of the potion for every contestant to study and polish it in advance.

But in the official competition, there are nine out of ten. Let alone the product, just cooking it is a wasteful failure.

However, the reason why Ji Ming designed this competition was not only because the "leader" liked it, but also because he wanted to use it to discover more pharmacy talents.

Shuzi and Adele are too tired. For something that can be mass-produced, they should at least set up a workshop or something first.

Therefore, even though the effect was very poor, he still distributed to every successful candidate an upgraded version of the healing potion formula that he carefully researched, referred to as Healing Potion Plus.

Although in terms of professionalism, it is still not as good as his own rejuvenation liquid, the healing ability has finally improved a lot, which can be regarded as a wave of technological investment in them.

Later, they used the medicine to practice medicine and save people, and they could also indirectly earn some small merits.

But who would have expected that the potion failed and the talisman was proud. Ji Ming added the talisman competition later in order to try his luck, and actually found a talent who could successfully draw it.

"Well, what does this stab mean?"

Holding the talisman, which suddenly glowed dimly after the last stroke, Brother Sha spread it open with his fingers.

Hiss~ This smooth touch, tough surface, and beautiful appearance that seems to be in a trance...

"Hey~ Okay, I got it!"

Brother Sha immediately kicked over the table and started dancing in the examination room. Unexpectedly, the production of talisman, which was almost rated as "unimplemented content", actually succeeded after he tried it over ten times!

The mysterious businessman Ji Ming who is standing at the front and acting as invigilator: Holy shit, what did I see? There's a big green guy twisting his drum shamelessly!

In order to prevent his eyes from being blown out by this terrible scene, he quickly took away the talisman from Brother Sha and kicked him out with the reward.

In fact, since the Mad King is very skilled in plant magic, the [Killer Goblin] who borrowed his body naturally also has the so-called wood element affinity.

It's just that he was busy leading the Goblins to fill their bellies and build houses, so he didn't have time to waste in the handicraft workshop.

Therefore, while Brother Sha received a new battle ax, he also found that there was an additional [talisman drawing] in his management tasks, and he was required to hand in 100 talismans before the end of the closed beta.

"Huh? A capable person can't do this even if he works hard!"

However, although the competition attracts attention, not everyone will participate in the whole process.

The "main mission" of the Tower Community has not changed. They continuously transport the needed materials, tools, and personnel toward the exit.

In just two days, with the magic of the Cyclops and the design of the dwarf, a fortress checkpoint that was far stronger than the mercenary camp was built.

In addition to towering sentry towers, solid walls, and pre-designed gun emplacements, they also had the foresight to dig several wells in succession, completely guarding the gateway to the ground.

But building a fortress does not mean self-isolation, but it means moving the position of the "advance base" forward again, from the upside-down castle that is not yet hot to here.

The light above was too alluring, and those players who had completed the competition could not wait to take advantage of the afternoon sunlight to leave the underground world again and try to explore the outside world.
