All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

After getting out of the elevator, Wang Zhifan was led by Li Zhenguo to a closed conference room with a full sense of technology.

When the two of them arrived, there were already six people waiting in the conference room. Among them was the middle-aged official from the Administration who had come to receive Wang Zhifan last time, the two players introduced by Li Zhenguo last time, and three other people who were relatively unfamiliar.

Li Zhenguo knew that Wang Zhifan was not familiar with the place, so he introduced them to him one by one in order, starting with a brief mention of the three people he had already met.

“Brother Wang, this is Director Zheng, who is in charge of intelligence analysis and logistics. You have already met him, so I will not say more.

The others are our comrades in this World War. Han Yuanhou and He Long were introduced to you last time. They are currently the top gunner and assassin players in our Xia country, so there is no need for me to say more.

But I guess this is the first time you meet these three, so let me introduce them to you."

As he spoke, Li Zhenguo walked up to a man in black who was as strong as an ox and looked to be in his thirties or forties. The man in black was sitting on a chair and looked curiously at Wang Zhifan next to Li Zhenguo. Seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately stretched out his hand to greet him, and the man also stood up and shook hands in return.

"Brother Wang, this is Gu Xingchen, the only Lv99 mage player in our country, who has the best chance of reaching the maximum level. He looks big and strong like a bear, and it's hard to imagine that he is a top mage, right? Gu Xingchen can be said to be the backbone of our team. It is with his joining that our team has strengthened its team battle capabilities."

After Wang Zhifan shook hands with the burly Gu Xingchen, Li Zhenguo introduced him to a woman sitting next to him.

The woman was probably around 27 or 28 years old. She wasn't very pretty, but she had a unique and cold temperament. When Wang Zhifan reached out for her hand, she just nodded without any enthusiastic response, so Wang Zhifan had to take his hand back.

Li Zhenguo didn't feel strange at all and continued to introduce:
"Brother Wang, this is Sister Lin Fengwu, the priest of our team. She is at least ranked in the top three priest players in the country. Although Sister Lin is a bit introverted, she is actually a very strong combat priest. She basically does not need our protection in team battles, and she can also provide us with support. Since she joined, our Xiaguo team has not lost any members..."

After a brief introduction, Li Zhenguo made the characteristics of Lin Fengwu very clear, that is, this priest can fight and heal, and is not the traditional type who needs to be carefully protected by others. He can be said to be the best priest teammate.

The last person left was a skinny young man with strange tattoos on his arms and face. He didn't look like a serious person, but he seemed very enthusiastic towards his new teammate Wang Zhifan. As soon as Wang Zhifan looked at him, he stood up and shook Wang Zhifan's hand with both hands, and quickly introduced himself:
"Brother Wang, my name is Lu Guanwen. I am a veteran player of the summoning profession. I am good at using summons to assist the team. I have heard of your great name for a long time..."

Wang Zhifan heard that he didn't speak in a conventional way, so he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Do you know me? But I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen you."

Lu Guanwen, a skinny young man with tattoos all over his body, immediately laughed and said:

"This is indeed the first time that you and I have met, but recently I have heard Captain Li mention you, Brother Wang, all the time. He said that you are the only hope for our Xia Country and even the players on Earth, and that you are the key to victory in the World War..."

Before this guy could finish his words, Wang Zhifan felt embarrassed. He turned to look at Li Zhenguo, who looked normal, and wanted him to give an explanation. However, Li Zhenguo did not think there was anything wrong and replied directly:
"Brother Wang, what Lu Guan said is true. I have always wanted you to be the core of our team, especially after the last trip to Wanjie City, which made me more determined. What's the problem?"

"Captain, my name is Lu Guanwen..."

The tattooed young man next to him protested immediately after hearing this, and was unhappy that Li Zhenguo only read the first half of his name.

However, Li Zhenguo immediately replied, "Don't interrupt," and continued to introduce Wang Zhifan:

"Brother Wang, don't be fooled by Lu Guan's appearance as a tattoo expert. He is actually an old bastard. His summoning ability is just passable, so don't count on him too much. When we enter the battlefield, just leave all the chores to him."

When Wang Zhifan heard Li Zhenguo say this to his face, although he knew that there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, he also understood that this Lu Guanwen might not really be particularly strong, at least he was just a supporting role in this team. However, seeing that Lu Guanwen did not seem angry at all, he seemed to be happy to be a supporting role, which was quite inconsistent with his weird appearance.

In this way, a total of five team members have been introduced. Together with Wang Zhifan and Li Zhenguo, the entire team has a total of seven people, which are all the people from Xia Kingdom participating in this world war.

Wang Zhifan then gave a brief self-introduction in front of several people. Because the people present had been waiting for him and had already read his relevant information, this part could basically be skipped.

When Director Zheng saw that all the team members had arrived and had known each other, he reminded them that there was not much time left and asked them to quickly discuss the battle strategy, with Li Zhenguo taking the lead.

Li Zhenguo spoke rather straightforwardly, meaning that the battle should be fought around Wang Zhifan as the core. He only said:

"Everyone, our tactics for this world war will be very different from the previous ones. That is, we will mainly use our new member Wang Zhifan as the core of the battle, and the others will do their best to create a good output environment for him so that he can eliminate the rival players from the other world as quickly as possible. This is my personal serious suggestion, and I hope everyone can implement it seriously, otherwise this war is likely to fail again."

As he finished speaking, the others were silent for two seconds, and then the Lv99 mage player Gu Xingchen, who was sitting like a big bear, spoke first:

"Captain Li, I don't quite agree with your combat suggestion.

First of all, Mr. Wang Zhifan has just joined our team, and we don’t know each other very well, so there will definitely be some difficulties in cooperating with each other. If we don’t have a period of running-in and familiarity with each other, it will be easy to have problems if we directly make him the core.

Then there are the restrictions of the occupational characteristics. Mr. Wang read the information and it said that it was a warrior swordsman occupation. Although I don’t know much about the swordsman occupation, it is definitely a melee occupation. The well-known characteristic of the melee occupation is that it is good at one-on-one combat. It is not very advantageous in team battles and is more of a pulling and charging role. If Mr. Wang is the core of the operation, I think the team’s output will not be ideal..."

Although this man looked like a barbarian, he actually spoke clearly and logically, and explained clearly the reasons why he did not support Li Zhenguo's suggestion. For a moment, the other players thought it made sense and gradually sided with him.

The cold-tempered female pastor Lin Fengwu continued:
"I think Gu Lao's strategy is more prudent. Mr. Wang Zhifan may be very strong, but he is only one person. As a melee profession, the total output he can achieve in team battles is not expected to be too high, so he is not very suitable to be the absolute core.

I would rather suggest arranging Mr. Wang Zhifan as a free position of pseudo-core, and let the rest of us preside over the overall battle situation, so that he will receive less external attention, and then we can attack the enemy's key targets unexpectedly, which will be more efficient in combat..." Lin Fengwu's opinion made Gu Xingchen's opinion more specific, not only explaining that Wang Zhifan could not be the core, but also pointing out that he was more suitable to be a secret killer, hiding in the team in the early stage, and then finding high-value targets in the later stage to maximize the value. The other players nodded secretly.

There is no way. In the minds of many expert players, the warrior professional player has always been like this. It is rare to let a short-armed warrior be the core of the team's output. Most of them play a role of containment. They agreed to Wang Zhifan to be the secret killer on the battlefield because they had taken into account Li Zhenguo's recent crazy boasting about him and tacitly accepted that he was particularly strong in single combat.

However, just as the fourth player was about to express his personal opinion, Director Zheng took action. The management staff used PPT to project a large amount of graphic content on the desktop and said:

"In order to give everyone a basic understanding of the new team member's strength, I will list here several records of Mr. Wang's actions in our management bureau. Judging from these actions, Mr. Wang's output capacity may have been underestimated by you. Mr. Wang's mobility is also particularly outstanding..."

Following Director Zheng’s introduction, everyone soon saw some confidential information with their own eyes, including two operations that Wang Zhifan had supported the Administration.

One time, Wang Zhifan took on a team of foreign criminal players alone and slaughtered them like a whirlwind. Only one hostile mage escaped by using a special item. Another time, which seemed even more outrageous to them, was when Wang Zhifan ran from reality to the dungeon to help Chu Wei and other players from the Administration solve their stuck problems, and rescued a team by himself.

After several expert players read the information, some of them did not care about Wang Zhifan's single-handed killing of a foreign criminal player group, believing that they could do it if they were well prepared. However, everyone was surprised that Wang Zhifan ran from reality to the dungeon to rescue people, especially since the information marked that Wang Zhifan went there quickly and came back quickly, and it was not through the conventional dungeon route.

Among them, the Level 99 mage Gu Xingchen saw the key and asked Wang Zhifan:
"Brother Wang, how did you get into the dungeon? Did you use any special items above epic level, or do you have any spatial abilities?"

"Both."

Feeling everyone's attention, Wang Zhifan replied with a smile.

"I have space-time items and abilities, so it's easy for me to enter dungeons. My combat ability is also OK. Basically, I can come and go freely. However, I don't rely much on assistants for help, so I think Ms. Lin's suggestion of free position is pretty good. It is easy to make mistakes when directly acting as the core and coordinating with everyone..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Zhifan directly expressed his personal thoughts and tried to end their tactical discussion. The main reason was that he was speechless. They had only known each other for a short time, but it seemed as if they knew him very well.

The reason why he didn't speak just now was due to the same consideration. He was not very clear about the specific abilities of these top players from Xia Country and didn't know how to cooperate perfectly.

Even though they don't seem to be particularly strong, they are all capable elite players after all. It's impossible for him to just tell them to hide behind him once they enter the battlefield and leave everything to him.

After listening to Wang Zhifan's speech, Li Zhenguo was the first to express his opinion. Although Li Zhenguo just behaved like a fanatical fan of Wang Zhifan, he was actually a person who listened to opinions. After a little thought, he found the problem, which was that although he knew that Wang Zhifan was very strong, fighting in large-scale group battles might not be as easy as he thought, and it would not be easy for several veteran players to accommodate him when they just met.

So when he heard Wang Zhifan take the initiative to ask for a free seat, he said:

"Since Brother Wang also thinks so, I think we should do this. Brother Wang will play the free position, and the rest of us veteran players will maintain the situation and provide some cover. As long as the situation holds, we have a great chance of winning this World War. I know Brother Wang's ability to harass and kill alone. If he is given enough time, he will definitely be able to kill the enemies one by one."

"Okay, it's settled. The other six of us will form the most familiar team to fight in team battles and create opportunities for Mr. Wang, the free player. This way, there will be no problem with coordination."

"It sounds reliable. Mr. Wang has time and space props and abilities. He must be very strong in self-defense and single combat. The free position is very suitable for him."

"I also agree with this six plus one tactic. It's simple and clear."

……

After a period of discussion, the basic tactics of the Xia country player team were determined, adopting the six plus one style of play with the least overall changes.

The so-called six refers to the six players except Wang Zhifan. They can cooperate with each other in their professions and are old partners who know each other well. They are familiar with fighting as a whole.

The so-called one refers to Wang Zhifan personally. He is a new team member and as a free man he can give full play to his subjective initiative. He can hide in the team or roam outside as he pleases.

It seems that Wang Zhifan is being excluded by others. If you think about it, there is indeed this implicit meaning, but we cannot completely conclude that this tactic is unreasonable.

Wang Zhifan himself very much agrees to take on the role of a free position. He came to participate in the World War not to show off and be the leader in front of players from various countries and opponents from other worlds. His only purpose is to see if there are any surprises in the reward list of the World War. If there are surprises, he can play more. If there are no surprises, it may be only this time. He is not the kind of person who likes to do useless work.

After the internal tactical discussion within the team was completed, a short period of time followed by an international tactical discussion, which was conducted via online communication.

As the World War is a confrontation between players from two worlds, players from each country should be united. However, the reality is not so ideal. Player groups from different countries do not communicate smoothly and there are constant quarrels, even if the outcome of this war concerns the entire Earth.

"Our American player group is the strongest on Earth! The rest of you must design your tactics with us as the core!"

"Arrogant American people! We Indian players will be the strongest in the universe in the future. You should give all your equipment and resources to us Indian players!"

"Humph! My Great Cold Nation is the strongest in the world!"
