Chapter 1205 Registration and First Battle

August 7th, 11:59 PM.

That night, the five members of Hell Front all logged into the game on time using sleep mode, and gathered in Wang Tanzhi's conference room.

At the instant the clock struck midnight, the interface on the long table in the conference room automatically refreshed, adding a new item—[Peak Brawl S2 Registration].

"I'll start filling it out then." As the captain, Feng Bujue naturally had to fill out the registration form.

"Yeah, we're all watching," Ruo Yu replied.

"If there's a weird team name, we won't click confirm," Hua Jian added.

"Guild Leader, please be mindful of your actions," Xiao Ling also chimed in.

"Jue-ge..." Xiao Tan also added, "Uh... you know."

"Tch... these guys..." Feng Bujue curled his lip, muttering with a disgruntled expression, "Such strict precautions..."

Clearly, the teammates' reaction was understandable...

After logging in today, everyone waited together in the conference room for the registration to begin. During the wait, Feng Bujue suddenly had a whim and wanted to come up with a new team name or something... Although he was immediately opposed by the three female members, he still managed to come up with three names in the limited time, which were rejected three times before they were even born: [Don't Mess With Me], [I'm Not That Easy to Calculate], and [I Hate This Gamble].

Team names like these, containing information that only he knows... would seem completely inexplicable to others, and would definitely not be adopted. However, those who knew Feng Bujue knew that this guy might secretly fill in these awful team names when everyone wasn't paying attention... so they had to be on guard at all times.

[Welcome to the Peak Brawl S2 Self-Registration System. Before starting registration, please confirm that you and your other four teammates are in the same team.] After Feng Bujue clicked on the registration option, the system voice sounded in conjunction with the projection interface on the conference table.

The registration system adopted a relatively user-friendly, step-by-step voice prompt process to minimize misoperations.

[Please wait...]

After Feng Bujue confirmed the first step, the IDs and character avatars of the five team members appeared on the operation interface.

[Please confirm your team member information...]

Every step of this registration process was extremely cautious. To avoid players with similar nicknames from mixing into the team (unlikely, but not impossible), the system ensured that the ID and face corresponded one-to-one when confirming the team's roster. If there were still mis-submissions under these conditions, then the team's captain could only be advised to see an ophthalmologist.

[Please wait...]

[Detecting all team member information]

The next step took about thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, the system voice finally continued:

[Detection complete. Your team meets the registration criteria.]

[Please enter your team's name.]

[Note: Team names that violate the "Internet User Account Name Management Regulations" will be prohibited and rejected by the system. The names of registered guilds, game studios, and well-known individual players are protected. Each guild has the priority to use its guild name as its team name. Obvious attempts at preemptive registration will also be prohibited and rejected by the system.]

"I see..." When Feng Bujue heard this, he turned back to look at his teammates. "We were worried that the team name 'Hell Front' would be snatched up by someone else."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Fill it in quickly."

"Don't change the subject."

The three female comrades stared intently at Jue-ge, not allowing him any chance to sneak around.

"Alright, alright... I won't mess around," Feng Bujue drawled. "I was just saying."

With that, he turned back and typed the four characters [Hell Front] on the interface.

[Please wait...]

[Team name available, complies with priority policy.]

[The following is your team's complete information. After clicking the "Final Confirmation" button, all members of the team will receive confirmation information. After all five members agree, the registration form will be officially submitted.]

After Feng Bujue completed this operation, a conspicuous pop-up window appeared in front of all five members of Hell Front, including himself, with content that was basically the same as the interface on the conference table.

After everyone clicked confirm, the system voice sounded again: [Please wait... System review in progress...]

This time, the wait was longer. After about two minutes, the interface on the conference table automatically jumped.

[Registration successful. We wish you all the best in Peak Brawl S2.]

After this voice, the entire operation process was considered complete. As for other matters, such as "changing members" or "leaving the team," the members of Hell Front did not need to consider them. All they had to do was wait another forty-eight hours, until the "Peak Brawl S2 Practice Mode (see Chapter 728 for mode settings)" was activated, and then they could go in and practice.

…………

As the saying goes, books are long when there is something to write, and short when there is nothing.

Two days passed by just like that... summarized by me in eleven characters. The "Hell Front Team," which had successfully registered, finally looked forward to its first external practice battle.

Also in the wee hours, also in sleep mode, the five members completed their team formation and returned to their respective login spaces.

Before long, Feng Bujue's voice sounded on the team communication channel: "So... as agreed, I'll be the 'substitute'."

"Okay."

"No problem."

"Let's queue."

"I can't wait."

The teammates were also eager to try, itching for action. This was the first time anyone had played a 4v4 team battle between players, and coupled with the atmosphere of a "competition," it was normal for them to be excited.

As for Feng Bujue... he was quite calm, since he was the "substitute" anyway.

Of course, being a substitute didn't mean doing nothing. In this mode, the "substitute" fifth person would join the script as a [Spectator].

The spectator could watch the entire process from a perspective similar to a "ghost," staying behind their teammates and constantly switching between them... As long as that teammate was still alive, the spectator could instantly reach behind them and share their vision.

In this way, although the substitute member didn't participate in the battle personally, they actually gained the most information in the battle.

In fact, in later competitions, some teams specifically used tactical advisors similar to "coaches." These people were responsible for being substitutes in every match, and then, after each match, they would guide the other four members based on the information they obtained from overseeing the entire situation. But that's a story for later... let's not dwell on it here.

Let's take a look at... Hell Front's first "external" practice battle.
