Chapter 2284: Being kind

Chapter 2284: Being kind

[Your teammate: Huo Yanyang, has died]

When the cold system prompt sounded in his ears, Zhu Lan even thought for a moment that he had accidentally "heard" it from three seconds later. However, after realizing that Gu Xiaole, who was hit by the [Glorious Arrow] in mid-air, was still falling under the protection of a bunch of ghostly talismans, Zhu Lan, whose face turned pale due to the white light next to him, finally accepted the reality.

Huo Yanyang was killed!

After just one encounter, Huo Yanyang, a heavyweight unit regarded as the core of the battlefield by his own side, died!

This process was actually not complicated. It could even be said that about 80% of it was within Zhou Lan's expectations. It was just that [Heavy Metal] still couldn't hold up well under this situation.

First of all, although he didn't know how the opponent would interfere with him, Zhu Lan had long known that Mo Tan would most likely make use of his "weaknesses" that he had inadvertently revealed after being eliminated in the individual competition, and he had made sufficient preparations for this, asking his partners to use "secret codes" to ensure that he could distinguish multiple time nodes.

Under this premise, even though he did not expect that the [Haunted Church] would risk interfering with him by abandoning the system task, he did enter a state of confusion briefly after the other party started to attack. However, thanks to the secret code agreed upon before, Zhu Lan still found his own time node in the first time, and took the initiative when he was attacked with "foresight", and temporarily restricted Gu Xiaole with powerful disposable consumable items, so that the absolute core of the [Haunted Church] could not intervene in the battlefield in the first time.

And then...Huo Yanyang died.

As for the indirect cause of death, we can understand that after Zhu Lan completed the time calibration at Huo Yanyang's reminder, he compared the 'now' and 'three seconds later one second ago', while distractedly aiming at the target location and using the powerful skill [Magic Arrow] to activate the [Glorious Arrow], so that he had a blind spot in vision for at least one and a half seconds, that is, he could not observe the 'time points outside the two compared time points', and thus missed the fact that Huo Yanyang was killed 1.5 seconds after Gu Xiaole appeared.

As for the direct cause of death, we can simply simplify it into four words: [Sacrificial Blow]

That's right, it was a life-threatening blow, the same one that killed the Greek milk from [Infinite Mining] in the last round! It was Yuying's life-threatening blow! In a flash, it pierced Huo Yanyang's abdomen directly from behind. Although it didn't hit the vital part, the power of this blow was too strong, and the latter's heart meridian was shattered in an instant, and he died on the spot.

"Hey~"

Yuying, whose health and stamina were only 1% left, whose damage received was increased by 1000%, whose movement speed and all attributes were reduced by 50%, and whose critical hit rate and damage received by critical hits were increased by 50%, turned to look at Zhulan cheerfully, and smiled at the latter who was just a few feet away: "I'm sorry..."

Bang! ! !

With a hammer from Signisius, Yuying was hammered to death on the spot before he could finish his words, and disappeared into white light.

At this point, [Heavy Metal] and [Haunted Church] have both lost one member. The former lost its core support Huo Yanyang, and the latter lost a... decent assassin player.

……

"What a loss."

In the studio, Xiao Xiaobai shook his head and said expressionlessly: "No matter how you look at it, Heavy Metal is losing money."

"no way."

Yinan nodded and said naturally, "Through the previous few rounds of competition, even outsiders like us can see that the Heavy Metal team is a dual-core system consisting of players Zhu Lan and Huo Yanyang, while the Haunted Church is currently showing a violent crushing lineup with the great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole as the absolute core."

Xiao Bingbing: "..."

Xiao Xiaobai: "..."

"Wow!"

Xue Yin nodded and asked repeatedly, "And then what?"

"This will create a situation that is quite unfavorable to Heavy Metal on paper. That is, their dual-core system is too obvious, and the trump cards of players Zhu Lan and Huo Yanyang have been revealed for the most part, so that any opponent knows how to target them."

Yinan looked at the four players of the Heavy Metal team who were directing the NPCs to compress the defense line on the screen. They all looked very unhappy, and explained calmly: "The Haunted Church not only has some unknown means that have not been made public, but the Onmyoji Gu Xiaole, who is the biggest core on paper, is also very strong. So in the case of a head swap between the two sides, as long as the Onmyoji Gu Xiaole is not replaced, the opponent will suffer no matter if they lose Zhu Lan or Huo Yanyang."

Xue Yin showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and exclaimed, "So that's how it is!"

"cough……"

It was only then that Xiao Bingbing cleared her throat and asked a question that attracted the attention of many people in a subtle tone: "Mr. Yi, you seem to have a very thorough understanding of the situation. Whether it is the strength of the contestants, their backgrounds or the situation, you are able to describe it with ease and to the core."

[Yes, I think I was a guest in this show.]

Yinan was also shocked, but he had seen a lot of storms and waves, so this cool, handsome and warm middle-aged man just paused for a moment and replied naturally: "To be honest, I am also a senior player and the first server player of our [Innocence Realm]. Maybe as the boss of [Little Smart Ghost], I only need to have a general understanding of my partners, but as a 'player', I have devoted a lot of time and energy to [Innocence Realm] in the past six months. After the [Guilt Debate] started, I even paid attention to various news during my offline time during the day, so... well, you know."

[Although he looks calm, he explained a lot in a long-winded way. Brother Yinan, you are panicking. ]

Xiao Bingbing smiled and said happily: "I understand, I understand."

"I see."

Xiao Xiaobai nodded slightly, and said suddenly: "This is what is called losing one's ambition due to playing with things."

"Haha, after all, I'm a toy maker, so I can at least find some excuses to be discouraged."

Yinan showed a warm smile that had been tempered through thousands of years, waved his hand and said: "As for the more profound content, you have to leave it to the professional commentators."

Xiao Xiaobai, who claimed to be a professional commentator, crossed her arms in satisfaction, and approved the sponsor in a leisurely manner, making people feel that she was the sponsor: "Not bad, not bad, it makes sense."

"In this case, let's analyze the current situation."

In order to make Yinan look less suspicious, Xiao Bingbing could only analyze the situation with a slightly different but professional attitude when Xiao Xiaobai could not be counted on, "First of all, [Heavy Metal] is indeed at an overwhelming disadvantage on the scene, but disadvantage and decline do not mean defeat. At least in my opinion, they still have a chance."

Xue Yin, who seemed to have completely become the atmosphere group, exclaimed softly: "Wow! Is there really a chance?"

"It seems so. After all, although [Heavy Metal] lost contestant Huo Yanyang, [Haunted Church] also paid a price."

Xiao Xiaobai glanced at the young priest on the screen, who was walking at the end of the team. He looked calm and indifferent, with a slightly fluffy hairstyle, as if the noise not far away was just white noise for relaxation. He said casually, "As the player of [Heavy Metal] said before, the system tasks of both sides will most likely conflict. So according to the intelligence during this period, the four members of [Heavy Metal] should have obtained some kind of high-intensity gain, while the [Haunted Church] is just the opposite. Although they killed player Huo Yanyang in a single encounter, they may have received the debuff penalty after the mission failed."

Xiao Xiaobing nodded immediately and added, "In addition, Yuying from the Haunted Church was also eliminated, and the great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole was just hit head-on by Zhu Lan. Although I don't know the specific situation, considering that she didn't regroup and return to the battlefield immediately, it is possible that she was seriously injured."

“I have concerns about this, too.”

Yinan also interjected a not-so-professional opinion at the right time, saying seriously: "After all, judging from the light effect, the arrow shot by contestant Zhulan looked very sacred, and the Yin-Yang Master... eh? Is he considered a necromancer? If so, he should be severely restrained, right?"

[Is Onmyoji considered a necromancer... Aren't you afraid of being beaten by your wife when you say this? ]

Xiao Bingbing sighed in her heart, but on the surface she agreed seriously: "That's also possible!"

"Ah, contestant Gu Xiaole has returned directly to the main team!" Xue Yin clenched her hands nervously and said seriously, "Although he doesn't look very well, he doesn't look seriously injured. Hmm... It seems that they are going to fight head-on! Which side do you think is better, Mr. Yi?"

……

"Well, my personal opinion is... [Haunted Church]."

In the meeting room of the Red Constellation, Xinglong was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly called upon to answer the question. Then he gave an answer after a brief hesitation.

"Haha, what a coincidence! I am also more optimistic about the Haunted Church."

The tall, thin, middle-aged man with a stubble on his face who was forced to sit in the main seat smiled and asked, "Xiao Li, tell me more specifically why you think the Haunted Church can win. Let's see if we have the same idea."

Xinglong scratched his hair and said bluntly, "I think the name [Haunted Church] is quite cool. As for music, I personally don't like rock music, so I don't have a big crush on [heavy metal]..."

"Ah this..."

With such an abstract answer, even Luo Ou, the boss of Red Constellation who had seen all kinds of storms and waves and came to inspect the work on a rare occasion, was unable to respond immediately and was stunned on the spot.

"team leader."

Jiu Chong turned to look at Xing Long helplessly and reminded him softly, "Be serious."

As a result, Luo Ou, who had sharp ears, immediately waved his hands when he heard this and said happily, "No, no, no, I always say that we should be more casual with each other when we are together, less cautious and more intimate, but among you guys, only Xiao Li and Mei Mei did well, and Xiao Jiu even criticized them by name."

Jiuzhong sighed with a bitter smile and said helplessly: "But you are the boss..."

"Can't the boss just chat with you guys? I'm still your sister Liu's boss, and she still kicks me when she's not happy. Hey, let me tell you, she was wearing a floral dress and high heels the day before yesterday, and I just said something about pretending to be young, and the result was, hiss..."

Luo Ou made a very ferocious expression and said in an equally ferocious tone: "It really hurts to step on someone with those high heels."

"Pfft-"

Xueran, whose eyes were originally a little red, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Not only her, but also Pioneer, Gentleman, Silver Moon and Han Guang, who were also in a depressed mood, couldn't help laughing with their lips curled up.

"You are amazing. You have enlightened everyone before we even have time to sit down."

Perhaps because of her aunt, Hanmei, who has always had a close relationship with Luo Ou, smacked her lips and sighed, "The official commentator was worried that we've been shutting ourselves in for too long, and said that you arranged for Xinglong to be a guest so that everyone could relieve stress."

Luo Ou grinned and shrugged, "What they said is not wrong, but I just want to relieve the pressure of 'you in the audience's perception'. Otherwise, God knows how many people will come out to make a fuss. Once they make a fuss, the PR department will get angry. Once the PR department gets angry, they have to ask Liu Hong to approve a special budget. After Liu Hong approves the budget, she will make sure to check the rhythm online as soon as possible. With her petty mind, I'm sure she will be in a bad mood after reading it. In the end, I will be the one who suffers. So pushing Xiao Li up is purely my act of self-help. Do you understand?"

"Hehe, even if that's the case."

Hanmei smiled and then asked, "But you're really not angry? We just reviewed the last game, and it was really too ugly."

"Huhaha... Because you lost a good game due to non-objective reasons, didn't I deduct half a month's bonus from you according to the rules?"

Luo Ou yawned and said lazily: "As for the rest, you guys know the answer, do I really need to act like a boss and give you a good lecture?"

"Then forget it. We can handle this kind of minor setback on our own. Not to mention the old man, one of the two kids is stupid and the other is very easy to coax. It won't be wronged for you to play the bad guy."

Hanmei shook her head vigorously and asked casually, "Changing the subject, when do you plan to become my uncle?"

"Keep changing."

"I have finished explaining why Xinglong is optimistic about the Haunted Church. It is your turn now."

"As for me... on the one hand, I think that Onmyoji girl is too comfortable with her job. On the other hand, I think that Hei Fan boy looks very friendly. From the beginning, I think he has the potential to be a champion."

"Why just now?"

"Well, because it was you guys earlier."

"Uh……"

"Haha, just kidding. I'm not a fortune teller. How can I read faces?"

"That's right. By the way, Uncle Luo, have you not had enough rest recently?"

"How to say?"

"I just feel like you look a little haggard and not in good spirits."

"Oh, that's probably because I just had a fight with a bad guy in the game."

"Ah? Had a fight with the bad guys?"

"Yeah, I had a fight with the bad guys."

"and then?"

"died."
