Abnormal crossing

Chapter 275 [Unfinished] The Team's Top Expert!

In team battle mode.

There's an official term for the behavior of both players exploring unknown areas: "clearing the map."

This is also a process that puts the team commander's abilities to the test.

For example, during the process of clearing the map, a teammate might discover an NPC, and defeating him would grant a powerful buff.

Should we choose to detour and wait until later to deal with him, or concentrate our firepower to eliminate him?
The former can maintain the highest map clearing efficiency, but it cannot obtain the buff in the first place. If an encounter occurs during the subsequent map clearing process, there may be a difference in combat power.

If the latter option is chosen, then the risk of staff reduction will be borne, and the number of members that can be sent out to collect information will naturally decrease.

Whether to give up or to seize the opportunity, both tests a commander's decision-making and even their ability to analyze the battle situation.

This is actually one of the reasons why team battles were established – the core purpose of this mode is to cultivate excellent commanders, so naturally there should be some emphasis on the corresponding aspects.

"Team map?"

Upon hearing Gu Wei's question, Iris's voice quickly came through the communication: "Not yet. The team battle map will only be fully unlocked when the game loads. And as usual, there will be a large area of ​​fog of war on the map, so the initial vision and intelligence are extremely limited."

"Players will receive very few hints at that time, usually just a simple description of the map background or a vague event setting - this information is mainly for the commander to judge the possible powerful NPCs."

Gu Wei nodded in understanding.

It's also reasonable.

Imagine you've traveled back to ancient China, whether it's a gender-bending version or a mythological version. You can still locate some key figures using intelligence.

For example, if you travel to the Three Kingdoms period, you will definitely think of Cao Cao and Liu Bei first; if you travel to the late Ming Dynasty, you will definitely think of Chongzhen and Wu Sangui; if you travel to the world of a writing fanatic, you will definitely think of the novice fisherman first. No matter how much these important NPCs are modified, they will never become passers-by.

Gu Wei quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Yuange, why are there only 29 of us participating in the battle today?"

"There's nothing we can do. We just can't make it in time," Yuange said with a hint of helplessness. "The official start of the competition was suddenly brought forward this time, and many team members didn't have the time. 29 is already the limit we could manage to gather."

"Look, even 'catching up hehehe' has been used to fill the quota."

Catching up, hehehe?
Gu Wei subconsciously glanced at the list of online members and scrolled straight to the bottom.

as predicted.

At the very end of the member list, a nickname was prominently displayed:
【Catch up with hehehehe】, record 10-155, points 1.

Gu Wei: "."

Say something.

This guy, Gu Wei, really left a deep impression on me.

In the civil war that brought Gu Wei and the Red Elite soldiers together, [Catch Up Hehehe] and another player, He Qiliao, were the two players at the bottom of the team, with one having 1 point and the other having 3 points.

At the time, these two geniuses formed a three-person team with Gu Wei, making bold statements before the game started, but they were instantly killed after the game began—especially [Catch Up Hehehe], who died at the hands of the rebellious AI, with the battle lasting only 0.01 seconds.
Unexpectedly, this guy was also pulled in to fill in the numbers this time.

Also, if Gu Wei remembers correctly...
Back then, [Catch Up with Hehehe]'s record was 9-103. After not seeing him for a while, he actually won another game?
There are also experts.JPG. Speaking of which, why is a weakling like 【追上嘿嘿嘿】 allowed to join the Unfinished Team?

"Don't overthink it," just as Gu Wei was wildly imagining things, Yuan Ge seemed to have guessed his thoughts and took the initiative to explain: "[Hehe] is a junior relative of Brother Bing in real life. The two families are quite close. That guy loves to join in the fun. After hearing that Brother Bing had set up a team, he insisted on joining."

"Bing Ge couldn't refuse, and since the team was newly established and short of people, they eventually brought him in."

Gu Wei responded with an "oh".

That's it
"Just ignore him, this guy has some mental issues," then Yuange paused, seemingly wanting to give Gu Wei some confidence, before continuing, "But Pigeon, don't be fooled by our incomplete roster today and the fact that there's someone just filling in. In reality, those who are absent are mostly mid-to-lower level fighters, and almost all of the team's top members are here—even Sister Yan and Nuomi are here."

Sister Yan Yan, Nuomi?
Gu Wei was stunned for a moment and quickly scrolled the member list to the top.

as predicted.

In the second column of the list, Gu Wei saw a nickname:
Yan Hehe, 388-162, points 5624.

Although this was Gu Wei's first time participating in a team competition, he had chatted in the group a few times during this period and naturally had a good impression of this famous person in the team.

Yan Hehe is a very lively girl, ranked second in the Weijing team's points, with a very nice voice, and she calls herself a long-legged mature woman.

to be frank.

If this were anywhere other than the team channel, Gu Wei's first reaction to seeing the words "long-legged mature woman" would likely be either a third-rate, overpowered protagonist novel or a burly man selling adult films with a pretty girl's profile picture.
In addition, this girl has another nickname in the Unfinished Team: the "Poop-Catching Queen".

That's right, she's the kind of group member who loves to forward all sorts of terrible content.

Aside from occasionally posting in the group chat, she's either constantly sharing things or getting locked up in a dark room by elite red soldiers afterward.
Yan Hehe's mecha is called [Deep Blue Sentinel], which is also a modified super-level mecha - of course, its ranking can't compare with Yuan Ge's new ride.

Then Gu Wei focused his attention on the very top of Yan Heke, where another ID was prominently displayed:

Nuomi Tuanzi (username), ID: 821-324, points: 14799.

Nuomi Tuanzi, nicknamed Nuomi, is the only player in the Weijing team with over 10,000 points. He comes from the youth training team of the Fengsheng Club.

Wind Whisper Club is a well-known mecha team supported by a long-established Tier 7 top civilization. Currently, the team's top player is ranked 82nd on the "Mecha Overlord" Sanctuary Ranking, and three of its players are also in the top 200.

Of course.

These clubs have a large membership base, especially their youth training teams, which have tens of thousands of members across all age groups, and they are constantly changing members every year.

According to the information Gu Wei learned from the water group.

Nuomi is probably ranked in the upper echelon of the 'Wind' club's youth training team. He is an excellent prospect who will be cultivated with long-term resources. His mecha is also quite imposing, called the 'Silent Throne'.

If not.

He wouldn't be invited to join the team by the Red Elite soldiers either—simply put, students at all six levels, like Yuange and the Red Elite soldiers, are truly rare.

Without real talent and skills, how could ordinary youth training players possibly catch their eye?
Then Gu Wei touched his chin again, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind:
"Speaking of Yuange, if I remember correctly, Nuomi doesn't participate in team competitions very often, does he?"
