Chapter 1172 The Puppet Master
After Bai Pu accepted the team invitation, a flash of light appeared, and he was teleported to the front of several people.

The experts that Feng Shenxiu found to form a team were all familiar faces.

Shi Le, the brown-haired man, is the seventh star in the constellation of fire.

"Annihilation," shrouded in mist, is the eighth star of the Dark Pole constellation.

There was even a dragon-man named "Jinjiao," who shone brightly on his first attempt at enlightenment, the ninth star of the Power Constellation!
The group also saw Bai Pu, and were clearly somewhat surprised.

Feng Shenxiu's idea of ​​teaming up with a few people to play games and build camaraderie is understandable to everyone. After all, if people meet on the border battlefield, there's a possibility they could fight side by side.

However, Bai Pu doesn't belong to the small circle of S-level geniuses, so why would Feng Shenxiu want to team up with him?
Although they had such thoughts in their minds, none of the three said anything.

"This is probably the first time most of you have played a 5v5 competitive game. Don't worry, there's really no barrier between beginners and veterans. You'll get the hang of it after one game. It's mainly about getting familiar with the map and the victory objective..."

After listening to Feng Shenxiu's explanation, everyone gradually understood.

As the name suggests, "Dota" is a combat and tower defense game where two teams of ten players battle on a map. Both sides have bases and defensive towers; the team that destroys the opponent's towers and base wins.

Players do not fight themselves, but rather control hundreds of classic hero characters from the game's character library in a first-person, immersive way.

These classic hero characters are now all established and crowned kings, and among them are many extraordinary individuals who have ignited divine flames.

"Okay, let's start the game now," said Shi Le, the brown-haired man.

Feng Shenxiu immediately started queuing, explaining as he did so:
"For us players who already have a high level of skill, playing this game is like a game of dimensional reduction... I've heard that if you use a Genius Camp ID card to play Dota, the system is more likely to match you with other Genius Camp players... Hehe, you might even see someone you know on the other side."

After a few minutes of waiting, I finally entered the game interface and started selecting a hero.

With a whoosh, hundreds of 3D phantom images of hero portraits appeared before the five people.

Even through these hundreds of phantom images of heroes, you can still vaguely see five players on the other side.

However, all the players were wearing the default hoods provided by the system, so their faces couldn't be seen.

"Just a tip: when choosing a hero, try to pick one that's close to your true path... I'll go first, I'll choose 'Lightforger'."

The chubby boy, Feng Shenxiu, was the first to select, his fingertip landing on the phantom of one of the hero characters. It was a tall, thin man wearing a mage's robe, with a stream of light emanating from his eyes.

After being selected, Feng Shenxiu merged into the Lightforged phantom. Instantly, the Lightforged seemed to come to life, striking a pose and uttering the entrance line, "Let me light your way."

The scene was awkward for a while.

Feng Shenxiu (the Lightforger) laughed heartily: "I'll go for the middle, no need to give away points, I guarantee a win."

However, Shi Le coldly replied, "I will go."

All of them looked over, their eyes full of inquiry.

"Shi Le, you've played Dota too?"

"I've played it. Mid lane is the best route for spellcasters to develop. It's a multi-lane road that connects to the top and bottom lanes and the jungle, making it the most effective.

Shi Le simply stated, "I only play mid lane."

Feng Shenxiu waved his hand and said, "That's fine. I'll go for the bottom lane support role. It doesn't matter if I'm a little behind in gold."

On the other side, they chose a burly, granite-like stone golem and a petite girl shimmering with starlight, holding a paintbrush. "The Rock Clan hero 'Wilderness Totem,' and the Void Clan hero 'Void Star Painter.'"

Feng Shenxiu exclaimed, "The other side must know how to play. They picked a hero with a strong crowd control ability and a support hero with a prophetic ability. Both are very strong."

After the other side made their choice, Bai Pu had two more people to choose from.

Shile unceremoniously chose "The Executioner of the Molten Fire," a slender hero wielding a fire blade and a staff.

It is worth mentioning that this "molten executioner" is also a brown person.

"How about Brother Gangxin chooses first?" Feng Shenxiu asked Bai Pu for his opinion.

“I can choose last.” Bai Pu was still looking through the abilities of these hero characters. He found that these hero characters all had fixed values ​​such as health and armor.

Characters like magic users, marksmen, and assassins have the lowest health, which may be the price they pay for their long skill range or high burst damage.

In comparison, warrior and tank characters are noticeably more physically robust.

Bai Pu is compatible with the true meaning of many attributes, and he doesn't mind making the final choice to make up for some of the team's shortcomings.

Dragonman Jinjiao had already set his sights on a character, and seeing that Bai Pu didn't choose one, he immediately said, "Then I'll choose first, I'll choose the Annihilator."

Like the Lightforged, the Emberbreaker is a "Transcendent" character in the character pool.

Of course, Emberbreakers and Lightforgers cannot break through to the Transcendent level in this game, otherwise it would be too unbalanced.

Feng Shenxiu laughed and said, "The Emberbreaker is best suited for the top lane. Go and fight the enemy's 'Wasteland Totem' in melee."

"Watch me smash his stone shell." Although Emberhorn had never played this game before, he was very happy to be able to choose the "Ember Destroyer" character, who was also a dragonman and a senior transcendent.

After the other side finished making their selections, it was Bai Pu's turn to choose.

Annihilation chose an assassin named "Time Traveler".

Bai Pu looked at Feng Shenxiu: "What kind of roles are we missing? I can handle any of them."

“We’re still missing a marksman,” Feng Shenxiu said. “A ranged physical damage dealer who’s responsible for pushing down the enemy’s towers. It’s not convenient to push towers with melee characters in this game. They’ll lose health to the enemy defending the tower, and if they try to fight back, they’ll get hit by the tower.”

"Uh……"

Bai Pu realized he had spoken too confidently; he was actually not good at archery, only his shield throwing accuracy was decent.

"Brother Gangxin probably hasn't tried ranged attacks before. It's okay, just choose what you're good at, charge in and wipe out the enemy team. Melee can also push towers."

Feng Shenxiu is such a kind and understanding young man. "Let's pick a hero that can provide sustained damage and go to the bottom lane together... How about we pick 'Puppet Master'? The puppet will attack automatically when it's thrown out, which is convenient and saves a lot of effort."

"Row."

Bai Pu readily agreed and immediately selected "Puppet Master." Instantly, his figure merged into the Puppet Master's phantom image, which quickly solidified and uttered a line:
I'll add you to my favorites!

Bai Pu chose the Puppet Master because the Puppet Master is a dark attribute hero.

Bai Pu's understanding of the dark attribute is still a bit lacking. He can take this opportunity to manipulate the Puppet Master character to experience it properly and find some inspiration.
