  Game time PM18:14

[Crime Debate·Team Battle] Competition-specific map, mirror space S5230-4573

Central continent, outside Mirkwood

[There doesn't seem to be any NPC nearby. ]

Xinglong strolled in the fragmented sunlight in the forest as if taking a leisurely walk in the garden, while silently making a judgment in his heart, and then expanded his perception range for the third time, allowing the invisible substance "qi" to fill the area within a radius of dozens of meters, turning into his own eyes to observe everything around him secretly.

His other four teammates had already disbanded on the spot at the beginning of the game, and after each of them determined their directions, they literally went their separate ways.

Among them, Hanmei, Gentleman and Pioneer advanced in the northwest, northeast and south directions respectively. Xueran, who was faster and adept at reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance and breath tracking, carried out a diffuse clockwise patrol with the refresh point as the origin, faithfully fulfilling the duties of a connector and scout.

As for Xinglong himself, he was strolling leisurely in the 'safe zone'. Although he could not pose any threat to anyone, from a God's perspective, he was not too far away from anyone. Considering Xinglong's movement speed after activating [Xuanli Suzakuyan], his support efficiency was probably higher than that of Xueran, who was originally in this line of work.

To sum up, although Xinglong is undoubtedly the strongest in the team, this does not prevent him from being in an extremely safe geographical location at this moment. After all, every inch of land he has walked on has been explored without blind spots by at least two teammates.

Hanmei, Gentleman, one of the Pioneers, and Xueran, who moved at least three times as much as their teammates, have expanded an ever-expanding intelligence network centered on Xinglong. However, the function of this network is very simple. Apart from the most basic map opening, it only provides feedback to other companions on "enemy encounter" or "safety". It is completely incomparable to Futaba's mental network that coordinated the overall situation in the last team match.

[If I had known it was this kind of picture... I should have let Han Guang take the lead. ]

Although he is still the tactical core, Xinglong, who played in the "support position" in this game, has nothing to do at this stage. So although it is a bit unnecessary to maintain the breath perception, his mentality can be said to be quite relaxed. He even has the mood to think about some configuration issues that he does not need to worry about.

It can be seen that although this young man, who is regarded as the No. 1 in the e-sports circle in the eyes of countless people, would never underestimate his opponents, he did not empathize with the nervousness of the fans outside the venue and always maintained a fairly healthy mental state.

This is not arrogance or conceit, but a very clear self-awareness.

Admittedly, Xinglong always believed that the [Wind-Breaking Bird] was a very powerful opponent, and he never felt that he was sure to win, but these did not prevent him from showing a considerable degree of composure at this moment.

Just like Mu Xuejian in the knight fighting competition, perhaps her presence cannot be equated with victory, but as long as she is on the field, the pressure on both sides will never be fair.

To put it simply -

  At least in this game, perhaps the [Red Constellation] where Xinglong is located is not the final winner, but the [Wind-Breaking Bird] standing opposite Xinglong must be the challenger!

……

"That's nothing to be ashamed of."

Zhang Fei shrugged and said casually, "It's true that I prefer Lusail and Fangshi, but my appreciation for Xinglong is no less than that of Mr. Luo from Xingguang. I want my team to win the game, but it doesn't mean I can ignore the difference in strength between the two sides and refuse to accept the fact that [Wind-Breaking Bird] is the challenger."

"I see."

The virtuous wife smiled calmly and said seriously, "As expected, Mr. Zhang was being completely modest when he said before that he was not an expert in the gaming field. If you were really as incompetent as you said, you wouldn't be able to see the huge difference in style between the two teams at this point in time."

Xue Yin also nodded slightly and said something very honestly: "Anyway, I didn't see it..."

"When I say I'm an outsider, I'm talking about professional players or the two of you who are real insiders. After all, I've been the boss of [Windbreaker] for so long, so it's impossible for me to be too unfamiliar with the gaming field, right?"

Zhang Fei didn't say anything polite. He just smiled and said seriously, "I think everyone would rather see some clues in this game than talk about the excitement of people like me. So I think the protagonist of this game should not be me as a guest, but you two."

Xue Yin continued to nod and agreed, "I agree too. After all, this is a competition with a stake and a position. Rather than listening to nonsense, I prefer to listen to the professional commentary of the two sisters."

"Ok."

The beauty first exchanged a glance with the virtuous wife, then she bowed her head and said: "In this case, the two of us will not deliberately lower our presence. If you are curious about anything, feel free to ask!"

"Wow!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yin could no longer sit still. She turned her head to look at the beauty and asked in a cute and naive manner, "Sister Beauty, do you know what tactics the [Red Constellation] and [Wind-Breaking Bird] use? I don't understand them at all!"

Facing the coquettish offensive of this planet-level idol, the beauty only lasted less than half a second before she surrendered neatly and swiftly, nodding her head vigorously and saying, "I know! Teacher Xueyin, look at the action mode of [Red Constellation]. It is obvious that it is to expand the controlled area while conducting a blanket search without blind spots. After all, whether it is Hanmei, Pioneer or Gentleman, they are all spellcasters with a variety of reconnaissance methods, and the mobility of Xueran is among the best in this year's contestants. In this way, they can complete a round of wide-area reconnaissance in a short time if they act separately. The efficiency is simply too high!"

"What about the Awakening Dragon contestant?"

Xue Yin blinked and asked again: "He looks completely different from his teammates. Not only did he not explore the unknown area, but he also gave people the feeling that he was... uh, taking a walk?"

"In fact, he was just taking a walk."

The beauty shrugged and explained simply and clearly: "The reason is very simple. As the current tactical axis, Xinglong's only task at this moment is to complete the 'support' in the shortest possible time. While the other four are scanning the map, in order to keep the relative distance between himself and each partner not too far, the best way for Xinglong is to circle in a small area in place."

Zhang Fei, who claimed to be an outsider in the gaming circle, frowned slightly and crossed his arms and said, "According to the current map opening efficiency, in about two minutes, the distance between the other four and Xinglong will be completely widened. In this case, no matter how strong he is, he may not be able to support his partners in time, right?"

"Mr. Zhang is right. Although Xinglong is very strong, even if he summons the pair of fire wings that can greatly increase his speed or even directly gain the ability to fly, he can't provide real-time support like teleportation."

The virtuous wife nodded slightly and said softly, "Considering that the average strength of the [Windbreaker] is not weak, the Red Constellation side, except for Awakening Dragon and the high-intensity patrolling Bloodstained, are all spellcasters with relatively weak physiques. If the distance is too far, even Awakening Dragon cannot guarantee the safety of his teammates."

"But..." The beauty raised her lips slightly and said leisurely, "What if the [Red Constellation] does not intend to distance themselves too much from each other?"

"I see……"

Zhang Fei's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the five members of the Red Constellation stop moving at the same time, move in the opposite direction to the initial refresh point where Xinglong was, and reunite without encountering an enemy. They successfully gathered within five minutes. He said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "They turned back before they spread out at a uniform speed to a distance where Xinglong couldn't rush to help them immediately, and then collectively moved a diameter of the previous round of detection range, and then dispersed again. This tactic... was obviously the work of the little girl Hanmei."

Xue Yin turned to look at Zhang Fei curiously and asked with interest, "What are the characteristics of Hanmei's tactics?"

"She is rigorous, meticulous, and airtight, which is completely opposite to her usual unkempt personal style."

Zhang Fei did not hide anything and said very cheerfully: "The habit of our Taoist priests is to reach the tactical 'upper limit' as much as possible, while Hanmei is completely the opposite. She will do her best to ensure the 'lower limit' during the game. As for the unparalleled national scholar of [Pai Lao], he is more flexible in deciding the tactics according to the game, opponent or status."

Xue Yin immediately understood and asked, "So, Hanmei and Fangshi each have their own characteristics, and Guoshi Wushuang's tactical level is better?"

"Theoretically, that's the case."

Zhang Fei nodded, then shook his head again: "But considering the actual operation and results, the one with the best performance in this regard is actually Hanmei from the Red Constellation."

Xue Yin was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "Why? According to the mainstream thinking, doesn't it mean that it is difficult to achieve the extreme?"

"Ah, I see."

But the beautiful lady next to him clapped her hands vigorously and said in sudden realization, "Although Hanmei's playing style is to protect the lower limit, the core of [Red Constellation] is too strong, so even if she is a little more conservative, she can still play a very terrifying effect, right?"

Xue Yin was confused again and asked, "Shouldn't Xinglong's words be the upper limit?"

"That's right, Teacher Xueyin. If we talk about individual strength, Xinglong is of course the upper limit, but the upper and lower limits of team battles are not calculated in this way."

The good wife gently pointed out Xue Yin's misjudgment and explained kindly: "To give an example that is not very appropriate, if we regard a team as a car, then in many cases, the core players are equivalent to the engine of the entire car, and the so-called lower limit refers to the maximum power without the risk of overloading."

Xue Yin nodded vigorously, like a little chicken pecking at rice: "I understand! So even if the alchemist player of [Wind-Breaking Bird] can surpass [Red Constellation] when he reaches the 'upper limit' perfectly, as long as the latter can ensure the lower limit, they will not be suppressed too much, right?"

"Although I don't like to admit it, this is probably the case."

Zhang Fei shrugged and said helplessly, "Although Xinglong's ability is particularly suitable for individual heroism, his personality is humble enough to make him an excellent team player. Coupled with Hanmei's usual tactics, it is too difficult to defeat them head-on."

Xue Yin blinked and asked mischievously, "So Sister Fei, you also think that our [Red Constellation] has a greater chance of winning, right?"

"First of all, I'm afraid I'll never be able to use the word 'we' in the Red Constellation again."

Zhang Fei shook his finger and raised his eyebrows. "Secondly, I didn't say that I think the Red Constellation has a better chance of winning. If you think about it carefully, you will know that Hanmei's tactics are obviously aimed at our group of Wind-Breaking Birds, but the problem is... we didn't form a group from the beginning."

Xue Yin's eyes widened immediately: "Huh?"

"Mr. Zhang is right."

At this time, the beautiful woman also nodded slightly and explained, "It is obvious that the Red Constellation wants to play a backhand, but in order to ensure that the space is not compressed too much, they still choose to disperse the reconnaissance method. If you think about it from their perspective, the Wind Breaker Birds should use this to gather together and carry out a local encirclement and suppression, and try to avoid the Awakening Dragon while making the opponent lose people first. In this case, the Red Constellation's 'one support many' tactics almost directly maximizes safety."

"But the problem is that, counterintuitively, the Wind Breaker Birds did not choose to break through in a group. Instead, they all dispersed like the Red Constellation. Not only that, they did not even move together again after a short period of dispersion like the other side, but instead dispersed completely."

The virtuous wife looked at the five small windows on the right side of the screen intently and said seriously, "In this way, the map exploration efficiency of the [Windbreaker] will probably be much higher than that of the other side, but the problem is that it is very difficult for them to break through in this situation. You know, in a group battle, you can't use friend messages to chat. In this case, it's easy to disperse, but if you disperse too much, you can only rely on luck or signals to reunite."

Upon hearing this, the beauty immediately shook her head and waved her hand, saying, "Things like flares are almost impossible. Considering the movement speed of the members of both sides, if [Wind-Breaking Bird] dares to make a big noise, then the first ones to arrive at the scene may not be their own people, but the Awakening Dragon contestant or the Bloodstained contestant..."

"Wait!"

But the virtuous wife suddenly interrupted the beauty, staring at her and said, "No!"

"Wrong? What's wrong?"

"The movement trajectories of the members of [Wind-Breaking Bird] here are not right."

"Eh? What's wrong?"

"What a tacit understanding! After being separated for more than five minutes and without going back once, their reconnaissance areas not only did not overlap, but were even tightly connected."

"what do you mean……"

"They are communicating! Even when their friends' messages are blocked, they are still able to communicate in real time!!"
