Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Since that's the case, then for the sake of Ming Shen's happiness in the second half of his life, I shouldn't disturb Ming Shen and his wife's romantic time together.

Just as they were about to say goodbye and leave, the pineapple-headed girl blurted out, completely oblivious to the situation, "It's alright, it's alright, Sister Su, come join us too. Let's get an eight-person room."

The men all wore expressions of disappointment and frustration, wishing they could knock the pineapple-headed man unconscious and drag him away so he wouldn't disturb Ming Shen's pursuit of girls.

Lu Mingfei clearly didn't appreciate their good intentions and turned to ask Su Xiaoqiang, "What do you think?"

Su Xiaoqiang's eyes darted around: "That works too."

She had only asked Lu Mingfei to teach her StarCraft after seeing him play it. From what she overheard from the others, Lu Mingfei seemed to be a skilled player.

Suddenly, I became curious and wanted to see for myself what level Lu Mingfei was at.

And so, an interstellar teaching session began.

Chapter 13 Ace Hunter

The group moved their camera to a position opposite Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang.

"How do you say it, how many vs. how many?" The pilot opened StarCraft and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"3v5, right? Ming Shen is so strong, one of him can easily take on three of them," said the pineapple-headed man.

"But Ming Shen is also bringing girls along," said the man with the pompadour. "How about 4v4?"

"No need," Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke, lazily interrupting their discussion.

"You six can take one side, I'll just take my classmate."

The group was taken aback, thinking that this Ming Shen was being a bit too pretentious.

Although I know you're good at StarCraft, StarCraft isn't like Meteor Butterfly Sword, where a top player can take on a whole group of people single-handedly.

It's important to understand that in RTS games like StarCraft, the outcome of a match depends entirely on how many units you can produce.

Even the most skilled player has a limit to the number of units they can create in a given time period.

In this situation, each additional opponent means you'll face an entire army in the later stages of the game.

Therefore, the difference between 3V5 and 2V6 is not simply a matter of having one less teammate and one more opponent.

Instead, the ratio of troops on both sides changed from 6:10 to 1:3. The difficulty increased almost exponentially.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei's eyebrows were drooping and he even looked a little sleepy, they became even more uncertain.

It's like if you go to Mount Hua to compete in martial arts, and you encounter those burly men wielding swords and spears with menacing airs, you might not be afraid.

But if an old, frail, unarmed, and filthy man suddenly appears in front of you, you might feel uneasy, unsure of his intentions.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible.” The man with the pompadour shook his head. “I believe you if you say that God can fight two or three at once, but I don’t believe that anyone can fight six at once.”

"Could it be..." Pineapple's voice rang out, "that girl next to Ming Shen is also a master."

The plane's nose and body trembled.

"Yes!"

The man with the airplane-shaped nose looked like he had just realized something.

“How could a girl sitting next to Ming Shen be an ordinary person? If that girl is also a master, then it makes sense for Ming Shen to say that he wants to fight 2v6.”

"Who created the room?" Lu Mingfei asked from across the room.

"I'll create it! I'll create it!" the man with the airplane-shaped haircut volunteered.

He chose a classic StarCraft 1.08 map called "Big Game Hunters".

This is a map created by the StarCraft fan-made artist SnakeT, based on the official map "The Hunter".

The biggest change was that the mineral supply in the original "The Hunters" was made unlimited.

The reason why the airplane head chose this picture is also because of its own little ulterior motives.

The original "The Hunters" map was resource-poor, with very limited mineral resources.

If one side in a game is particularly adept at playing defensively, the game will eventually reach a point where neither side has enough resources, leading to a default draw. This is because neither side can produce any more units, making it impossible for either to win.

However, the "Big Game Hunters" image is different.

Since there is no limit to the number of mines, once the game progresses to the late stage, the side with the numerical advantage can produce an almost unlimited number of troops and overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers.

"Ming Shen, the houses are finished." The man with the airplane-shaped haircut announced the room names to Lu Mingfei.

"Ooh ooh ooh." came Lu Mingfei's response from the other end.

Looking at Ming Shen sitting directly opposite him through the monitor, the man in the airplane head felt uneasy, fearing that Lu Mingfei would see through his scheme.

However, Lu Mingfei entered the room normally, as if he hadn't noticed anything. This made Fei Ji secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Have you all chosen your race? I'm about to start."

“Go ahead,” Lu Mingfei replied.

With Lu Mingfei's command, both sides entered the map loading screen.

Lu Mingfei chose the human race, while Su Xiaoqiang chose the god race.

Actually, Lu Mingfei initially wanted Su Xiaoqiang to choose the Zerg. After all, once the Zerg have developed in the late game, they can build a fleet with lightning bolts, slowly chip away at the opponent's health with storms, and use lightning bolts to prevent reckless attacks, thus easily overwhelming the enemy.

Even a novice like Su Xiaoqiang, as long as he knows how to use a mouse, can provide Lu Mingfei with a lot of artillery support.

However, Su Xiaoqiang showed strong resistance to this because the Zerg units looked really disgusting.

Having no other choice, Lu Mingfei had to settle for second best and select the Protoss race for her.

The game loaded quickly. As soon as he entered the game, Lu Mingfei immediately checked Su Xiaoqiang's location on the minimap.

After all, this is a 2v6 game, and Su Xiaoqiang is likely to be assigned a very bad position, being sandwiched between the two sides by the opposing team.

Fortunately, they were lucky this time. Lu Mingfei spawned at the nine o'clock position, while Su Xiaoqiang spawned right next to him in the bottom left corner. There were only two enemies directly adjacent to them.

"What should I do?" Su Xiaoqiang asked Lu Mingfei nervously. She had just started playing and didn't even know the order in which to build the structures.

"You do it like this first, then like this..." Lu Mingfei explained to Su Xiaoqiang step by step.

The six people sitting opposite each other looked at each other in disbelief. Only then did they dare to believe that Su Xiaoqiang was really not a master at all, but just a girl who had just started playing the game and knew nothing about it.

Lu Mingfei actually dared to bring such a newbie along to fight him in a 2v6 battle?

Trying to show off in front of girls isn't done like this, is it?

"What do you mean?" someone asked. "Should we change our playing style?"

Before starting the game, they agreed to develop steadily in the early stages and then unleash their power in the late game.

StarCraft is a game that heavily relies on micro-management.

The same force, in the hands of a skilled operator and an unskilled one, can have a greater difference than the difference between Earth's forces and the Trisolaran fleet.

Some of them had seen Lu Mingfei play StarCraft and knew that Lu Mingfei had excellent micro-management skills. He once used a Zergling/Banner army to kite an opponent's Mutalisk army as if he were walking a dog.

The screen switching was so fast it was like frame skipping; before you could even see what command was given in that frame, the screen would flash to another location.

Because they knew Lu Mingfei was an excellent player, they decided not to risk a quick attack since they couldn't figure out Su Xiaoqiang's tactics.

Instead, they wanted to stabilize their development in the early stages, drag it out until the late stages when their buildings and population were up and running, and then overwhelm Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang with sheer numbers of troops.

After all, in the early stages when there is a shortage of players, two top-tier players, through perfect operation and exquisite teamwork, can potentially overwhelm and kill six players with average skills.

However, in the later stages, once the population becomes overwhelmingly superior, a two-person unit can never defeat a six-person unit.

……

However, after confirming that Su Xiaoqiang really didn't know anything, a few people couldn't hold back any longer.

If the opponent has two skilled players, playing a fast-paced attack might indeed be risky.

But the opposing team was a skilled player carrying a clueless girl. It was a 2v6 game. They could easily overwhelm Lu Mingfei and his team by using peasants to overwhelm them.

The man with the airplane head was also hesitant. After learning that Su Xiaoqiang was a novice, he was also considering having his brothers gather their forces and raze Lu Mingfei's house to the ground.

But the pilot immediately shook his head.

"Let's stick to what we agreed on before: develop in the early game and push forward in the late game. After all, it's a 2v6 game, so we should at least give Ming Shen some time to develop."

After all, he had already used a trick on the map. If he were to use this dishonest method to win now, even if he won, he would lose face.

But what the man in the airplane-headed man didn't know was that just a few minutes later, he would regret his decision.

Chapter 14 Su Xiaoqiang's First Blood

Lu Mingfei has played the "Big Game Hunters" map countless times.

Because this is a map with unlimited resources, many people like to choose the Zerg race when playing this map.

After all, in version 1.08, both Terran and Zerg are races that are very strong in the late game.

However, the Zerg race itself has lower requirements for micro-management, unlike the Terran race, which is extremely dependent on micro-management.

Generally speaking, once you assemble a lightning fleet, you can basically sweep through your opponent.

As for the Protoss, although there is a theoretically strongest late-game playstyle, it basically only exists in theory.

In actual combat, it is very difficult for the Protoss to replicate that playstyle, so they are generally considered to be a bottom-tier race in PvP.

Generally, only top-tier players or those who dominate the Protoss meta will play Protoss in PvP.

In the group led by the plane-headed individual, as many as four people chose the Zerg race, while the remaining two were a Protoss and a Terran.

It was precisely because many Zerg players emerged from the area near the aircraft's nose that Lu Mingfei chose the Terran race.

Lu Mingfei wanted to play a "quick attack".

If the people in the airplane crew knew what Lu Mingfei was thinking at this moment, they would definitely think that Lu Mingfei must have gone crazy.

It was a 2v6 match, and they even had a newbie girl with them. They were already being lenient by not rushing Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei actually went along with their fast-paced attack?

……

The man in the airplane was directing the farmers out of their homes, building structures and moving ore, when he was suddenly terrified by a scream.

"Holy crap, our base has been raided!" one of the teammates with the airplane-head hairstyle suddenly exclaimed.

"Your house was raided?" The man with the pompadour was stunned, wondering if he had misheard. "Impossible, right?"
