Public space, [Crime debate·Group battle] live broadcast room

"finally……"

The good wife loosened her hands that had been clenched subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief: "Children... I'm sorry, I mean the members of [Children Can't Learn] have finally gathered at the south side of the venue."

The beautiful woman next to him nodded and sighed, "How should I put it? It's not easy for them. They were able to gather together under such great pressure without anyone dying. They must have worked very hard."

“I think it’s a bit of a pity.”

Xue Yin scratched her hair and said seriously, "From what they said, those things called [Xunbei] should be able to help establish a big advantage in this kind of competition. If you use them sparingly, it's basically the same as the friend messaging function. And it's also a team channel, how convenient."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu laughed and shook his head, saying, "Even if it's convenient, you have to be alive to use it. Although Xiaoxue's logic is correct, that [Xunbei] can indeed help those children build an intelligence network. If used properly, it can definitely play a decisive role, but the problem is that they don't have a chance to use it at all."

"why?"

Xue Yin still looked confused and asked curiously, "Although I can see that they seem to be struggling when confronting the parents, it's not that serious..."

"Ahem, it's actually quite serious."

The beauty interrupted the innocent and lovely star-level idol with a light cough, and said as tactfully as possible: "It is better to say that since it seems so strenuous to us, the children who are competing must be under greater, more and stronger pressure."

Xue Yin was stunned at the time and asked in astonishment: "Is this true?"

"That's fake. In fact, Xiaomei's words are so euphemistic that they are a little distorted."

As a top producer, the old man who must have the best vision in gaming shook his head and said seriously, "Let me tell you the truth. Those kids are almost defeated. It's not that they don't want to play to the strengths of Xunbei, but they know very well that if they don't gather together, it's only a matter of time before they are defeated one by one."

"Ah this..."

Xue Yin's eyes widened, and she said in confusion: "Is the difference so big? Then... to what extent did the system strengthen those parents!?"

This time, the beauty and the virtuous wife exchanged glances and remained silent in tacit understanding. The old man, who had been in a state of inexplicable excitement since the start of the game, took a deep breath and stared at the five parents on the screen who were divided into three groups and had exactly the same tactics as the original "The Child is a Little Tired" -

“Is it possible that those parents were not reinforced?”

……

"Strange...monster..."

Somewhere in the southern part of the training ground codenamed 'Scales', Tianji Bian, who had finally completed the reunion, felt his legs go limp and he sat down on the ground, sweating profusely as he said, "This game is crazy, I just ran into your mom Nuanyu and your lawyer aunt. Your mom... killed all the tree people and beast companions that I summoned for self-defense with just two axes. If I hadn't dug a tunnel with the devil vine and escaped during the chaos, I'd probably have been chopped into pieces by now!"

Nuan Yu Qing Feng immediately shrank her neck and said timidly: "I... I don't know!"

"Oh, let's not talk about this for now."

Tianji stood up shakily and asked, "Where's Nannan? Ask her to give me some blood. I just traveled almost a kilometer underground and was nearly killed by a rock on the way."

"Bear with me."

Huohong, who didn't look too embarrassed, but whose cape and headscarf were missing, shook her head and said calmly, "Nannan is being rescued."

"rescue?"

Tianji Bian was stunned at first, then he followed the fiery gaze and saw Nannan who was half-kneeling on the ground not far away, with her hands folded on Zhaohao's lower abdomen. He also saw the hideous bloody holes under the girl's hands and immediately exclaimed: "Fuck, Ritian, what's wrong with you? I didn't hear that you were dying when we communicated before!"

"Don't f*cking call me...F*ck!"

Zhao Hao was spitting blood and said with difficulty: "It was my father. He appeared out of nowhere after our last communication. Before my daughter and I could react, he destroyed our communication. Then, in order to save my daughter, I was hit hard by my father."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Nannan used the power of the water elemental spirit to purify the toxins around Zhaohao's wound, while shaking her head and saying, "Uncle Zhao was going after you. If it weren't for me, you would have at least three more holes in your body."

Tian Ji Bian was shocked at the time and asked curiously: "So how did you two survive?"

"It was Nuanyu who heard the noise from our side and rushed over with Huohong."

Nannan shrugged, took out a delicate totem with blue glyphs from her bag, put it in front of her, clasped her hands together, and asked the water elemental spirit to comfort Zhaohao in her heart, while saying, "Later, Huohong helped to cover our retreat and stopped Uncle Zhao and my father who came later for a while, buying time for us to escape."

Tianji smacked his lips and gave Huohong a thumbs up: "Brother, you are awesome."

"It will take me about two minutes to treat Zhaohao's injury."

While controlling the colorless water stream that exuded strong vitality to treat Zhaohao, Nannan asked, "What should we do next? Can we disperse and continue to drag?"

Tianji Bian pulled the corner of his mouth and said dryly, "Why delay? The game has only started for less than an hour. Unless we bet that the opponent's enhanced state is only one hour, otherwise it will be a dead end if we spread out as before. Let alone other things, just look at the posture of Nuanyu's mother just now. If we fight a skirmish, I can't hold on for five minutes even if there are two more of us."

Nuan Yu Qing Feng blinked and asked softly, "My mother... is she really that powerful?"

"No offense meant."

Tianji Bian sighed and said helplessly: "You should know how powerful the tree people I summon are, right? Put together with your mother, they are just small potted plants in front of a bulldozer. They will be flattened with just one step on the accelerator."

Nuanyu Qingfeng: “Hey hey hey!”

"Don't worry about whether they have gains or not."

In order to help Zhaohao and Nannan break the barrier, he had directly restrained the fathers of the two men, Xiaotian's father and Nannan's father. Then he brought the topic back in a deep voice. When his companions were quite shaken, he said in an unquestionable tone: "From now on, we will act as a team. According to what happened just now, they are probably dispersing to look for us. And the facts have proved that without the advantage in numbers, we are the disadvantaged party."

"Won't they be caught in one fell swoop?"

Zhaohao, whose wound was itching unbearably as it was healing rapidly, raised his hand to ask a question, trying to distract himself by communicating with his companions.

"Huohong was able to hold your dad and my dad back for a while, which means they can't easily capture all of us, at least when they are dispersed. Since they are the ones who are arresting people, for the sake of efficiency, a dispersed search is almost inevitable."

Nannan gave Zhaohao an ugly look and said casually, "On the contrary, if they converge, it means that searching separately has become a dangerous behavior, which may mean that their buff status has disappeared. So no matter how you think about it, grouping together to use the advantage of numbers to defeat the scattered opponents one by one or fighting against the opponents who have lost their buff status is the most ideal solution at this stage."

Zhao Hao nodded, then stood up shakily. "Then hurry up. With Tianji, we have the advantage in searching for the enemy. And since Xunbei is clearly marked as a 'cheat', the adults probably don't have this thing. If we are outnumbered, the sooner the better."

"Are you okay with your wound?"

"The bleeding state is gone, let's deal with the rest as we go."

"OK, let's go." "I'll trouble Tianji to search for the enemy."

"I'm asking, I'm asking. Just follow me."

……

"To be honest, these kids performed really well."

The old man clapped his hands and sighed, "Both their thinking and efficiency are excellent. Their tacit understanding and awareness are even at the professional level. Although it can be seen that they basically acted on impulse and did not make too many tactical plans before the game, for their age group, they are definitely outstanding."

The beautiful woman smiled and said happily, "It can be seen that Mr. Liu is still very optimistic about these children, but I and many audience friends are more interested in your previous hypothesis. Why do you think those parents have not been strengthened? Obviously, they did burst out with impressive strength in the previous small-scale encounter."

"Oh, there are two main reasons. First of all, those parents just showed unparalleled skills and attention to detail rather than their impressive strength."

The old man leaned back in his chair comfortably and smiled strangely: "Besides that, there is another point, their style looks very familiar to me."

"Look familiar?"

"Yes, it looks familiar."

……

  Game time AM12:53

The training ground is codenamed "Lin" and is located beside a stream in the southwest

"Yo."

Although he was quite sturdy, Xiao Tian's father, who was wearing a set of tight black leather armor, turned his head and looked at all the members of the "Children Can't Learn" team, plus two fire elemental creatures and six tall and strong tree people, and said with a smile: "Calculating the time, we should be the first group you found after gathering, right?"

"That's right."

Zhao Hao looked at his father stiffly, and asked with a twitching mouth: "So what are you doing?"

"Grilled fish."

Sitting on a half-broken wooden stake, with the smoke rising and the fragrance wafting in front of him, Xiao Tian's father greedily looked at the big fish in front of him that were skewered on branches and sprinkled with salt and spices, and murmured: "Thanks to the gift of nature, I want to be a chef in my next life..."

"Nannan~"

Nannan's father raised the grilled fish in his hand and asked his equally stunned daughter not far away, "Would you like to eat fish? Dad tells you, your Uncle Zhao's cooking skills... wow, amazing! Really amazing!"

"Thanks, but never mind."

Nannan rolled her eyes cutely, then turned to her friends and suggested, "Let's get started."

【Rattlesnake Arrow】

Zhao Hao, whose main occupation is thief [Rogue] and secondary occupation is [Ranger], immediately raised his hands and activated the hidden short crossbow stuck on the wrist guard.

【Sky-shattering】

The priest Nuan Yu Qing Feng of the Justice Sect timidly raised his weapon and chopped down the staff weighing over a hundred kilograms, creating a powerful wave visible to the naked eye.

[Roots Entangled]

The most functional druid, Tianjibian, raised his staff and summoned dozens of brown thorns that broke out of the ground to entangle the two of them, turning a control skill into an output skill.

[Storm Power]

Nannan, who was a shaman, did not attack. Instead, she chose to add a buff to Huohong, the strongest fighter in the team, so that he could cause additional thunder damage in proportion when attacking.

【Thunder Slash: Lightning Flash】

Huohong drew out the long sword wrapped with purple cloth at his waist, took a heavy half step forward, and appeared next to the bonfire in an instant.

however……

The bonfire used to grill fish was still there, but the people grilling the fish and the fish were nowhere to be seen.

The next moment, accompanied by a chill on the side of his neck, Huohong noticed that his neck, arms, and legs were all cut by the large number of steel wires crisscrossing in this small space because of the previous charge, leaving a lot of bloody wounds, and his health points had quietly dropped by nearly 20%.

……

"Although the professional circle is thriving now, 30 or 40 years ago, gaming and professional players were not even completely labeled as 'not doing their job properly' in China."

The old man looked at the black mist on the screen that instantly enveloped the other four people besides Huohong, and sighed: "If nowadays, seven or eight out of ten talented potential stocks can embark on the professional path, then back then, there was probably only one who could become a professional player, and most of them might not even be able to provide for themselves."

Xue Yin's eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed in a very cooperative manner: "Is there such a thing?!"

"Of course not, especially for games other than MOBA, RTS and FPS, such as Olathe Saga and Innocence. In that era, even if there were competitions, there would not be much attention, so it is even more impossible to have any professional players."

The old man smiled and looked at the figure who looked a little bloated at first glance, dashing left and right in the black fog, not only breaking up the opponent's formation in an instant, but also inflicting at least two layers of slow poison on everyone, and slippery like a loach: "That was the era before the emergence of the [Realm of Innocence] when the gap between ordinary players and professional players was the smallest. During that time, there were many super strong players who were not professional players, but left their mark in various games, making this gaming circle vibrant and flourishing."

"what do you mean……"

"Can you help me switch to the main perspective of Xiaotian's father?"

"Okay, uh, why is it so dark?"

"If I remember correctly, the best thing about the Dream Eater and Shadow Weaver duo is that the latter will use any means to blacken the battlefield and suppress it, and the former, who is best at blindly attacking based on sound effects, will reap the rewards."

“…I’ve never heard of it.”

"It's totally normal. When those old antiques were active, my hair was still black."

"What kind of antique is this? It's a living fossil. That's too much."

"Haha, compared to the speed of evolution in the industry, I even think I'm being conservative~"
