Discussion Thread: [Topic] The selection is over, let's guess which player will be drawn for this mixed-team competition? (Popular)
1L (OP): According to statistics, 13,478 players participated in the selection, of which 8,986 passed. Among the top 100 players on the leaderboard, 11 made it. I downloaded the list from the official website, everyone take a guess.
Attached: list.docx
2L: Guess what? There's always this kind of post before every competition. With so many players, what god-like person could guess right on the first try?
3L: I'll guess Hang Ze. This guy's luck is ridiculously weird. He's clearly terribly unlucky in every instance, yet somehow manages to survive perfectly fine every single time (Not wishing death upon him, but he's really absurd. He can turn a Hard Mode instance into a literal Hell Mode just by his own luck).
4L: I vote for this kid too. He's the type who can stumble upon a hidden stage just by walking.
5L: Then I'll guess Zhang Tian. He's an old player, participated in the last two selection instances, but didn't get selected either time. Who knows, maybe this time is the charm.
6L: Are you guys really just guessing so naively like this?
7L: To the person above, we're just casually guessing. It's better than those who directly open betting pools.
8L: The randomness is too high, the probability is so low it's not even worth betting on. Aren't they afraid of losing everything down to their underwear?
9L: That's how gamblers are. Just like I'm always betting my next pull will definitely be a gold.
10L: What gambler loses every day? What child cries every day, right?
11L: Speaking of which, when I first watched the first two mixed-team competitions, I thought the name didn't quite fit. But the second time, wow, it was all scheming and backstabbing. The third time is even more unspeakable, Kid Brother is forever the best.
12L: The first time, the matched players from different countries didn't understand the mechanics well, so they were relatively restrained. They thought it was just several countries teaming up to clear an instance, so they chose cooperation and mutual benefit. Who knew it was really a competition?
13L: Actually, cooperation and mutual benefit is okay, but the rewards for winning yourself are much greater. Even if you're willing, other players will mess with you for the rewards.
14L: The second mixed battle made me numb. In the end, the Tricolor Nation actually picked up the scraps.
15L: Thankfully, Kid Brother won it back the third time, wiping out all the other players and winning an Elimination Card for our country.
16L: Speaking of which, why haven't we seen the officials use this Elimination Card?
17L: Obviously, they must be keeping it as a trump card. For the day when the country is on the brink of collapse, that Elimination Card is our last hope.
18L: Currently, there shouldn't be any player younger than Kid Brother, right?
19L: Probably not. I checked the official records, and they haven't changed.
18L (OP): Since everyone thinks the scope is too broad to guess, let's just change the topic! Guess which selected player has the highest hope of winning this mixed-team competition!
20L: What's there to guess? I cast my vote for Kid Brother.
21L: Kid Brother +1. At his age, I was still watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and he's already wiping out entire teams without batting an eye.
22L: ...Is no one mentioning 248? He actually signed up for this mixed-team competition.
23L: Oh damn, now that you mention it. Kid Brother has already participated once. None of the three mixed-team competitions had repeat players. The chance of Kid Brother being selected this time isn't high. But if 248 gets selected, I think our Hua Nation can secure another win this competition.
24L: I admit Kid Brother is a tough guy, but when it comes to scheming, he's still slightly inferior to 248.
25L: You guys have so much confidence in Xu Xi? Aren't you afraid of being proven wrong?
26L: As long as you can completely watch all his instances...
27L: He's really different from other players. The moment he just stands there, I feel, okay, it's stable.
28L: He even managed to break the curse of "Glittering Play". How can anyone still question 248's authority?
29L: If 248 really gets selected for this mixed-team competition, I don't even dare imagine how explosive the live stream comments will be.

In the player space.
Xu Xi was just about to habitually review his performance when he suddenly realized something, belatedly.
It seemed that starting from the fourth instance, he hadn't paid attention to how many times he had reloaded within the instance.
Hiss.
He realized that subconsciously, he had been increasingly downplaying the existence of the reload ability, or rather, he was almost treating reloading as an instinct.
Especially in this solo instance.
He had actually deliberately reloaded multiple times, just for a sip of milk tea!!
"..." Unbelievable.
He didn't know if this change was good or bad.
Taking out the Fruit Knife obtained from this instance, Xu Xi learned its specific uses through the player space.
As long as it's carried on one's person, it can comprehensively enhance a player's physical fitness and also increase their neural reaction speed.
Simultaneously, it can cause damage to some ghost-type creatures that possess a physical form.
In short, it's a very good item.
Moreover, this was the first offensive item he had obtained.
Finally, he had a bit of combat capability.
Playing with the Fruit Knife, recalling how he finally used reloads to figure out the locations of all the Fragments, memorized the patrol routes of the Black Shadows, and then collected all the Fragments at once to successfully clear the instance, a certain train of thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
Most of the time, he passively accepted reloads because he was afraid of excessively consuming reload counts, leading to them running out.
...Looking at it this way, he was still too conservative.
After clearing five instances already, and dying who knows how many times, even if the counts really run out one day and he truly dies... well, if he's dead by then, why worry about anything else?
Xu Xi's eyes burned with intensity.
Actually, taking the initiative is the correct way to use this ability, right?
His development of this ability was still far too lacking.
