DOTA Madness

“What happened? Why haven’t Dingguo yet arrived?”

In the Red Sun Internet cafe, Wang Xin, who waited for long, was a little impatient. He looked up at the wall clock on the wall of the Internet cafe and picked up the phone to redial a number. What surprised him was that what came from the phone was: “Sorry, the user you dialed is not in the service area!”

“What is this situation?”

The other three students familiar with Zhao Dingguo couldn’t help but surprise. They had just contacted him a few minutes ago. How did he run out of the service area in a blink of an eye? What kind of speed was this?

“It may be that China Mobile Network has a problem.”

Saying that, Wang Xin went to the window and dialed the number again. The result is still the same, prompting him that the user is not in the service area. Wang Xin was stunned, a bit angry: “This year, there are mobile phone signals even in the rural mountains, it is really strange! Forget it, he has not come, it must be he suddenly has something urgent, maybe he just encounters a beautiful girl. Let’s find a passerby to play a game first!”

“Alright!”

The other three people had a general relationship with Zhao Dingguo. They have long been impatient, thus immediately agreed.

After pulling a passerby at random to the team, Wang Xin started a new DOTA game. At the same time, Zhao Dingguo also started an alternative kind of DOTA GAME, a Death Match in BG space!

“Loading is complete, the Death Match E01254 is about to begin!”

With this prompt, Zhao Dingguo was suddenly blinded by the light. After the dazzling light flashed, the surrounding time and space suddenly back to normal. Zhao Dingguo moved his body a little and then opened his eyes. In the next second, he was shocked by everything in front of him!

A real and vibrant world!

The famous World Tree with mysterious natural power, the Moon Well blessed by the moon, and the ancient tree of war (ie, barracks) that the energy source constantly summons the Treant soldiers… It is a high-altitude slope leading to the Scourge; behind him, it’s the most incredible Fountain, and next to it were the shops with many plot characters. The sky was a little dim in the azure, and the unknown flowers on the ground have faintly withered. It is the terrain of the Poplar Valley in the fall of Warcraft!

All of this was the same as the DOTA game!

Feeling the warm and sturdy power of the hot springs around, sniffing the smell of grass in the air, and sensing the battle intention of the soldiers around the tree, Zhao Dingguo confirmed one thing, that was, the so-called Death Match was actually a real DOTA!

The power of the BG battle platform was amazing!

If he didn’t see it with his own eyes, Zhao Dingguo couldn’t believe that there was some kind of power or organization that can make such a real-world in the unknown space!

“It’s amazing, it’s shocking, right?”

The hoarse voice came from behind, and Zhao Dingguo looked back and found that it was the man who claimed to have experienced three Death Matches.

When he was in the lobby, he didn’t look at him carefully because he was in a hurry. Now he had time to look at that man. The man had an authentic round face with a slanted scar under his forehead that seems to have added a bit of fierceness to him. It’s just that he gives the impression that he is somewhat harmonious and easy to communicate. In addition, he was about one meter eight, roughly similar to Zhao Dingguo.

“Call me Old Li.”

Seeing that Zhao Dingguo was looking at him, Old Li smiled and extended his hand to him.

In such a strange environment, Zhao Dingguo would certainly not reject this hospitality. He also smiled politely, then extended his hand and shook it: “Zhao Dingguo!”

“Little brother, you are not bad. This is your first time yet you’re so calm!” Old Li faintly praised him, then said: “Actually, this space is not as big as you think. It is only slightly larger than the ratio in the DOTA game. When you get used to it a few times, it is really nothing.”

Zhao Dingguo nodded and said: “This is t first time I participated in Death Match, I don’t know anything about it. If you know some useful information, I still hope you to take care of us a bit. After all, we are now on the same side, if our performance is good, it is easier to win the Death Match, right?”

These words were not humble, but actually let Old Li appreciate him a little more.

Perhaps this Death Match is not as pessimistic as I thought. In my experience, the scale system is still relatively reliable, even if the strength of my own side is worse, the opposite may be even worse!

After indulging for a while, Old Li suddenly said: “Since it is the first time to participate in the Death Match, it must have come in this month. Have you participated in several Regular Matches before? How many WP do you have now? ?”

Zhao Dingguo hesitated for a moment, then truthfully said: “I participated in a Regular Match yesterday, my WP is 684 points.”

“684 points?” This number makes Old Li’s brow pick a bit, but the face didn’t show whether he was happy or disappointing, he just slightly said: “You can get this initial amount after just one match, it seems you have also played DOTA in real life. At least there is a certain foundation… very good. But only after finishing the Regular Match yesterday, today you already join the Death Match, it’s too rushed. You can only blame your luck for the timing of joining the BG platform was wrong. It was at the end of the month, and this month’s Death Match came so late…”

His words gave Zhao Dingguo a glimpse, and then he tentatively asked: “What do you mean, Death Match is monthly?”

Old Li was slightly helpless and said: “Yes, just like a woman’s aunt [1], at least once a month – in fact, this is not a secret in our circle. As long as you survive a few more games, you’ll know like everyone. Basically, Regular Match is weekly, of course, it does not rule out the case BG platform suddenly give you extra battles. The same is true for the Death Match, once a month for mandatory participation, and for those who do not participate, their WP is deducted. If they don’t have enough WP, hehe…”

“What does it mean?”

Old Li’s face was heavy and his voice was a bit cold: “What else? Of course, it’s obliterated! In the BG space, you will disappear directly into the air like a bubble. As for reality, it will always give you a natural death, such as being hit by a car, drinking water, dying in bed, playing games too much, exciting myocardial infarction, etc. Various accidents, but ordinary people can’t see the strangeness!”

In the last few words, Old Li’s tone was very dull, but it made Zhao Dingguo’s hairs inexplicable erected.

“Dead… for real?”

Zhao Dingguo lost his calm.

Old Li smiled twice with a bit of dryness, suddenly and seriously, shaking his head and said: “Do you think this is called Death Match for joking?”

In fact, from the experience before yesterday’s coma to what he has seen and heard now, Zhao Dingguo has already believed in 70-80%, but he still said: “Maybe the so-called obliteration is only to lose the game qualification in the BG platform? How did you know for sure?”

Old Li did not argue with him but just advised: “I know that you still have some unbelief in your heart, or still think this is a playground. However, I advise you as a person who comes over many things. Let’s recognize reality as soon as possible. Let’s take a look. Do you think things here can be made by human technology? If you want to live longer, you should correct your mind from now on and make every DOTA game a success. Let’s fight like every game is a real battle. Otherwise, even if you play DOTA well, your luck is good, you will die here sooner or later!”

His words made Zhao Dingguo fell silent.

After a while, he calmly said: “Since we really will die if we lose, what is the meaning of the existence of this super god platform?”

Old Li smiled a little comfortably. He knew that Zhao Dingguo had already heard his words: “Why do you care about its existence? Anyway, we can get unimaginable power from this platform. Isn’t that enough? Several things are useless even if you know sooner, it’s better to go on according to the rules!”

Zhao Dingguo sincerely thanked him, and he said: “Understood!”

Hearing him say this, Old Li’s eyes softened and said: “Very good, I’m a little optimistic about you. Just go through this Death Match and then pass a few Regular Matches, maybe you can walk on your own path. 684 points, although you are still unranked hero nameplate, but will hard work, I think getting a Twilight-level nameplate is no problem for you!”

When hearing that he had re-introduced the topic that was interrupted by the loading, Zhao Dingguo couldn’t help but ask: “About hero nameplate…”

Old Li pulled him a hand and walked back at the same time: “When the soldiers spawn, go the same lane with me. I’ll answer this question later. Now it is very close to the beginning, we must call the hero’s soul!”
