175: Chapter 175 Ranked Match Mode
This is just rubbing salt into Wang Ye's wounds again.
He was taken out by his own side's battleship after surviving for only a few hours.
Wang Ye exited the results screen.
Seeing the comments in the livestream room, a bitter smile tugged at the corners of Wang Ye's mouth.
"Brothers, not even dogs play this Story Mode anymore. Let's go check out Ranked Mode."
As he said this, Wang Ye prepared to open Ranked Mode.
At this moment, a small red dot suddenly appeared in the top right corner.
"Friend request?"
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the small red dot, seeing that it was indeed a friend request.
Wang Ye looked at the name of the player who sent the request: "I Bought A Watch".
Seeing this name, he couldn't recall who it was for a moment.
It was only after seeing the comments in the livestream room that he remembered this was Liu Yang from the previous game.
Liu Yang had left a decent impression on him, so Wang Ye thought for a moment before accepting the friend request.
The next second, a game invitation panel popped up.
Wang Ye took a look and saw it was for Ranked Mode.
He simply accepted it.
After entering the room, Liu Yang's voice rang out.
"Brother Wang, it seems like we were killed by our own side's battleship in the last game."
Hearing Liu Yang's words, Wang Ye's mouth twitched.
"Ahem, I know. Don't bring it up anymore; let's just count it as bad luck."
"It's okay, Brother Wang. How about we play another round of Story Mode? If we play it safe, we might just survive for a day," Liu Yang offered comfort.
It was just that his comfort didn't sound like comfort; it sounded like rubbing salt into the wound.
"No, no, no. Let's play Ranked Mode. We'll talk about Story Mode later," Wang Ye hurriedly said.
"Alright then, let's play Ranked Mode. I'm also curious about what this Ranked Mode is like."
After Liu Yang finished speaking, he started the matchmaking.
The matchmaking speed was very fast, and they entered the game quickly.
Just after entering the game, Wang Ye saw a Ranked Mode introduction appear in front of him.
"This mode is a player-versus-player mode, with a game time limit of twenty-four hours. At the start of the game, both sides have twenty-five thousand initial points. Within the twenty-four hours, players can consume points to respawn. The side whose points reach zero first loses. When the game time ends, the side with fewer points loses. In this game, you are the attacking side. Please select your class."
After this introduction, Wang Ye saw six options in front of him.
Assault Trooper, Engineer, Medic, Scout, as well as Tanker and Pilot.
Seeing these classes, Wang Ye hesitated slightly.
At this moment, the audience in the livestream room saw this scene and started discussing it one after another.
"Damn, this Ranked Mode has really become a game; you can actually respawn."
"Interesting. Just looking at this, I'm already looking forward to this game."
"Although there are similar ones online, I feel like none of them attract me. But this one made by Old Thief Zhou is different; just looking at it makes me want to play."
"Is this random for the attacking and defending sides? If we end up as the Japanese defending side, how are we supposed to play?"
"Yeah, I don't want to turn into a Japanese soldier."
"If I turn into a Japanese soldier, I'll just go and throw the game."
Seeing the comments from the audience in the livestream room, Wang Ye gave a bitter smile and said, "Hey, brothers, don't think like that. Although I'd quite like the other side to throw the game, if we play like that, it won't be fun."
"The Japanese soldiers are indeed detestable, but we can kill them in Story Mode."
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, the audience gradually regained their reason.
If they really did that, Ranked Mode would be ruined.
The attacking side would be having a great time, but if the defending side is just throwing...
After a while, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
After all, even if everyone is hacking away with 'one-hit 999 damage' for too long, it gets boring.
"Indeed, we shouldn't do that in this player-versus-player mode. Going to Story Mode to kill Japanese soldiers is the way to go."
"Brother Wang, pick Pilot and fly a plane."
"Does Brother Wang know how to fly a plane? It feels like it's easy to crash. If so, it might be better to pick Tanker."
"Tanks die even faster. You rush up and get blown up by an anti-tank gun."
Seeing the direction of the comments in the livestream room return to normal, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the players' suggestions, Wang Ye took a look and decided to pick Pilot first to see.
As for Assault Trooper, forget it. You just die the moment you rush up.
Just when he wanted to pick Pilot, he discovered that the Pilot slots were already full.
There were no planes left for him to fly.
Looking at Tanker, it had also been selected by others.
Wang Ye was completely dumbfounded.
Seriously, what kind of reaction speed do these people have?
At this moment, he noticed the number of players on his side in the top right corner.
One thousand people, and the other side also had one thousand people.
But the map was ridiculously huge.
One thousand people attacking and one thousand people defending.
This looked like the attacking side was at a disadvantage.
Taking one look at the vehicles already being taken, Wang Ye had no choice but to select Assault Trooper.
As for those things like Engineer, Medic, and Scout.
He felt he wasn't suited for those.
He was better suited to be an assault infantryman.
After confirming his class, the game started its countdown.
The countdown ended, Wang Ye's vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already on a ship.
At this moment, Liu Yang's voice rang out from beside him.
"Hey, Brother Wang, you're an Assault Trooper too."
Hearing his voice, Wang Ye nodded slightly.
"Yeah, I'm an Assault Trooper too. I couldn't grab Pilot or Tanker at all."
"Haha, me too! They grabbed them way too fast," Liu Yang said, laughing and scratching his head.
At this moment, someone next to them also spoke up.
"Hey, buddies, are you two in a team?"
Wang Ye turned to look and saw a player with a Western face speaking Mandarin, which sounded very strange.
"Yes, he and I are in a team."
"I'm also in a team with my friend, but he chose Pilot, so he's not on this ship."
"I see. I thought being in a team meant we could be together, but it turns out we still get separated," Wang Ye said with an 'I understand' expression on his face.
"Haha, that's how it is. I feel this mode is quite interesting. I've played other games with this kind of mode, but they weren't interesting. This one is more interesting. I was hooked after playing Story Mode, but unfortunately, my luck was terrible. I was running along and someone shot me in the back, taking me out. If I find out who shot me, I'll definitely kill him," First Dante said indignantly.
"That's right, could it be that we can also hit our own side in this Ranked Mode?" Wang Ye asked, suddenly realizing something after hearing First Dante's words.
"No way, right? If they really did that, wouldn't this game end very quickly?" First Dante's heart skipped a beat, feeling this possibility was very high.
After all, this game prides itself on realism.
There is absolutely no setting that prevents friendly fire.
"Ahem, let's hope not," Wang Ye said, though he didn't feel confident about it inside.
Just as they were chatting, in the underground fortifications of Iwo Jima on the shore.
The players on the defending side had already deployed to their respective positions.
"Old Kui, we are really unlucky! We're actually on the defending side; this is the Japanese, damn it!"
"Japanese soldier, so be it. It's just this face that's Japanese; we aren't. Do you really think you're a Japanese soldier?"
Old Kui curled his lip and looked speechlessly at Old Hei next to him.
